SSS-Class Suicide Hunter

Glass Palace.

(2) 3.

I knew.

“I’m sorry.”

For a long time, I think I already knew.

“Think about it.

I don't know who or what kind of person built this tower, but it must have put a lot of work into it." A person who almost always maintains an expressionless face, wears a helmet, and avoids showing his or her face to others as much as possible.

He always wore armor around his body.

“I have some confidence in my poker face.”

“Gongja Kim.

Do you have any mind-reading skills?”

Perhaps those who have a stronger wall in mind.

“I can’t help it.”

My colleague.

Patricia.

Our noble and noble paladin.

“I have the ability to recognize the lies of others.”

“It’s no exaggeration to say that this is the skill that raised me to the rank of deputy vigilante leader.”

“Doubt is a poison that gnaws at humans, and truth is the most powerful antidote.

It may not be possible to regain the trust that has been lost so far, but at least we will be able to cooperate on the 12th floor.”

Just before the battle with the Demon King of Autumn Rain.

The hunters who broke through the stage for the first time in years were excited, so they were easily caught in the trap dug by the Demon King.

The possibility that 'the quest itself may be the devil's trap' was not considered.

When it became known that someone betrayed us and took the side of the Demon King, the heads of the giant guild simply doubted each other.

“You foolish! I told you! Never choose the Demon King's reward." "Dare, we don't know yet who betrayed us, but I'll give him the most painful death." It was a time when we couldn't trust each other yet.

The heretic inquisitor interrogated people under the name of heresy in the basement of the pantheon, the assassination squad led by the black dragon master raided the nights of Babylon, and the count was occupied with encroaching on the capital of other guilds.

Above all.

“This atmosphere.

this air.

That's how it felt when you attacked the early part of the tower." "That's it.

It feels similar to when the 5th guild was the 10th guild.”

“A lot of people died at that time.

killed a lot Isn't it?" Everyone knew it well.

knew too well 「Paladin! Now interrogate everyone with a lie detector.

Without missing a single one! If even one person does not answer or avoid the Paladin's question, I will kill that person on the spot!」 “Even if I don’t say it, I will.”

I knew.

“First of all, let me start by making it clear that I am not a traitor.”

The fact that a person like you cannot forget the slayers.

There is no convincing, no convincing, no forgiving.

If I don't have the power to punish the slayers right now, I'll wait until that power builds up.

will be patient Whether it's 5 years or 10 years, we are willing to wait until the moment the opportunity comes.

“On a poker face.”

“I have some confidence.”

People around you think, “Only a paladin is a reliable human being”.

Even if he missed the opportunity, he didn't show his regret.

Even if the opportunity comes, he doesn't show any signs of excitement.

just do what you have to do “You really don’t know what life is.”

That you are such a person.

“Isn’t it possible to reconcile with the Black Dragon Lord and become friends again? Relationships with other guild leaders...

… .”

“… … Really.”

“Things like that happened.”

A long time ago, I think I already knew.

"......." therefore.

When you come across a doll that looks just like a paladin in a dead end on the 63rd stage, the labyrinth of glass, when you see the paper sign the doll is holding.

I was not surprised.

Not at all.

even alittle.

“I.”

The sign was written in concise handwriting.

“I have 17 plans to assassinate all of my colleagues.”

That was the figure of Patricia I knew.

4.

Beep.

“Are you surprised?”

The mouth of the doll that looked just like the paladin moved.

A snake, who did not reveal itself or her voice, was whispering through the doll.

“This man is my exemplary follower.

In principle, it is forbidden for the constellation to arbitrarily interfere with humans who have not reached the 50th floor.

Therefore, in the form of skills or protection, it is an indirect contact.”

"......." Indirect spread of faith.

From the constellation's point of view, skills and protection are some kind of means.

There are far more unreachable worlds than those that reach level 50.

there will be many From the point of view of the constellations, the religious resources of the many worlds would be a waste.

That is why, while I use my powers, I create and distribute skills, and sow the same blessings as the [God’s Protection] that I once obtained as a hidden stage reward.

“But this man was desperate.”

snuggle up.

squeaky.

While I was engraving new facts on the corner of my head, the Marionette Paladin said happily.

“I am a constellation that does not like to treat anyone special, but I can still say that this person was 'special'.

It's been a while since someone made a wish so earnestly! More than ten years ago, this man bit his lip until he bled and bled and prayed to an unbelieving god.”

The time of the Great Purge at the Tower.

“Give me the strength to punish the wicked without anyone knowing.”

"......." "As it were, this man wanted to be an assassin! secret murder.

A veiled executioner.

planned murder.

I am not the constellation that rules over death, but all plots and assassinations are within the reach of my power.

You were willing to lend me your strength!”

I muttered bitterly.

“[Lie Detector] is the skill you gave me.”

"Yes.

Where would that be?”

A squeak came from the doll's mouth.

“The skills this human possesses are nothing more than a list of my powers.

You can see the number of feelings that the other person has for you.

When revealing his skills to the other person, this human can misinterpret and distort the skill description as desired.

Secret detection.

Distortion of information.

Operation.

stratagem.

How beautiful isn't it!" "......." "Those who you think are your friends were planning your death!" [Eyes dwelling in the labyrinth] teased.

“Not one has ever approached you with pure favor.”

How is it, the Serpent's constellation asked.

“I thought of your death before I even heard your story, and only after devising the perfect way to kill did I smile at you flawlessly.

king.

Before you even get a tinnitus!”

okay.

“This is the essence of the friendship you cherish so much!”

No matter how ugly a dagger is, it hurts when the blade rubs against raw flesh.

Even if I already knew it with my head and already captured it with my heart, I know that even if the words I am hearing now are only a provocation to shake me up, I know that only by provoking like this is the odds of winning and the other party actually only battling.

chart.

A blade is a blade and a wound is a wound.

I'd be lying if I said it wasn't painful.

“If you want, I can keep you silent without telling you the secrets these humans hold.”

Then the problem is.

“Even if you don’t want to, they can expose all the secrets of those humans right in front of you!”

Will I be able to stand it? “You ought to be afraid of what you fear.

You humans, you would be wise enough.

You've been given an undeserved name compared to your own destiny.

Put down that sword...

… .”

“What do you know?”

The doll's made-up eyes turned to me, "What?" “You don’t know what Patricia is all about.”

I took a handkerchief from my arms and touched it.

A white handkerchief embroidered with silver thread.

I wrapped the soft touch on my fingertips, following the trajectory of my fingers moving slowly, calming my excited emotions.

I controlled the temperature of my heart.

Much more, much deeper than I do, I know Patricia.”

"Ha.

That's funny! Didn't you know what kind of murder plan they had right away?" “Patricia used Yusuha.”

"……What?" I recalled a memory.

Something as distant as if it had been a long time ago.

At the moment when I decided to return for 4000 days, there was a paladin at the scene.

"Water powers, don't use their skills alone!" "Yeah, just in time.

"That's right!" The town of Harlem was burning by Yusuha.

Among the top rankers, only a paladin and a pharmacist ran to the scene of the fire.

You may not know the paladin, but in fact, then I saw the paladin for the first time.

The two rankers talked in front of the fire.

“It’s strange.

Why hasn’t Mr.

Seongnyeo come yet…?”

“He said something is going on tonight.

I don’t know for sure, but maybe it’s not a date.

He spends more time with Yeomje these days.”

“…that I don’t like the man named Yeomje.”

Naturally, the two knew Yoo Su-ha, “I think Seong-nyeo should find a better person.”

And “You have very high eyes.

Who are you talking about dating?”

The paladin didn’t say ‘bad things’ about Yoo Su-ha.

You, who hates a human like Yoo Su-ha more than anyone else, will surely be chosen if there is someone in the world who hates Yoo Soo-ha.

「Welcome, flame.」 Rather polite 「As you can see, there was an arson in the former slum district.

Could you help me?」 He was polite, 「What will I get if you help me?」 News and broadcasters have articles titled [Yeomjae who extinguished the fire, doing great deeds] in a big way.

You can give a fresh shock to the world and improve your image at the same time.”

Why? There was a time when I thought so.

There was also a time when I was filled with anger because I thought that the smoke of the flame was so great that I deceived the world, and that Patricia had also been deceived.

I was hit once, but I immediately returned and took revenge on the saint.

I was thinking that [the person who ordered to poison me is the Black Dragon Lord].”

“What? …you guy.

What are you talking about?”

“Who told you that?”

I don't think Patricia was deceived anymore.

"That night, I said to the running lady.

[Think carefully and answer me.

I have the skill to detect lies, even if I'm not bad at it.

I will burn you.] However, Yoo Su-ha did not have a lie detector.”

“So what are you talking about…”

“The person with that skill was Patricia.”

contrary.

I think Patricia deceived everyone.

“In the world before I returned, the old swordsman probably was killed by Yoo Soo-ha.

Old people are strong.

Even if Yoo Soo-ha had the regression skill, it would have been extremely difficult to defeat the old swordsman alone.

Even so, there were only rumors that the old man was killed, that he was treated as missing, and that he disappeared somewhere.”

“……”

“At the same time, Patricia was well aware of the sword.

Because when Swordsong was the leader of the vigilante group, he was sent under his direct control.

He must have known well what swordsman's weaknesses were and what his schedule was.

He was sharpening the blade of a swordsman who participated in the great purge.

It would not be surprising if Patricia cooperated with the Flame Emperor to hunt the sword castle.”

I think everyone was deceived by Patricia.

“Of course, even the vigilante guild with the authority to [disappear] people who were killed and disguise them as if they were not dead… … .

It was Patricia’s limb.”

"......." "In another world." The world line that the top master showed me.

An IF scenario in which I live as a member of Yoo Soo-ha's guild.

There, Seongnyeo attacked Yusuha with a spear.

“For some reason, the saint knew that the murderer who killed her grandfather, the old swordsman, was going to run away.”

「Yoosuha!」 「You killed my only grandfather!」 “Who told me?”

Someone wanted to use the flame to get rid of the sword.

Someone wanted to use a salt agent to get rid of the Black Dragon Wine.

Someone wanted to instill a sense of revenge in the saint and make a decisive twist between Yeomje and Heilongju.

“Who could have told me?”

In the IF scenario, the giant guilds collapsed.

The Inquisitor was killed by the terrorist who infiltrated the Pantheon, and the Black Dragon Lord was also dealt with by the assassin.

The guild that checks and guarantees the identities of those entering the tower is the vigilantes.”

How could terrorists and assassins not only enter the tower, but also hide in the backbone of a gigantic guild: “There is only one person with the ability and status to do that.”

To be trusted means to be betrayed.

"There is only one guild leader who has a motive to do so." What I can guarantee is that it can be manipulated.

"The owner of the tower showed me a vision to prove that [Yoo-su-ha can be different], but even in that vision, he hides the destruction of the tower and the collapse of huge guilds.

I couldn't lose.

Why? If I were going to show you my fantasy, I would have shown you the most perfect world, but why would I have to, at least, a broken world.

To me." Because the top master cannot ignore the wishes of humans, even if it was a blood-stained wish, the wish that Patricia had in her heart was [to punish the slayers with due revenge].

That it was impossible for the top owner.

"......." A long time ago.

I think I already knew.

"Hishmit Kritz." She opened her lips, "You don't know everything I've said." "......." "I would have wanted to provoke by saying that the trust I had built up until now was nothing more than a sandcastle.

I took the secrets of my colleagues one by one and displayed them to me, so that no one could trust me anymore and I He would have wanted to drive him to the point where he could not believe it, if possible.”

But, "I know more than you know." Of Patricia, of her close friends, "I know the expressions they make, and I know all the expressions they never made.

I know what I don't know about themselves, from what I see." It's not that I didn't reach out because I didn't know, it's not that I gave my faith without knowing, "I didn't believe it because I was someone who couldn't do this, or because I'm not a person who wouldn't do it." I grabbed my sword and said, "To make sure people who can do this don't do this, and people who can do that don't do it, I'm with them, and they believe in me." "Your boy..." “There is no blade that can bring me down among the secrets you can reveal.”

“You look like a kid!”

“Humans are not dolls to be displayed in your glass garden.”

with all your might.

The pavement of the labyrinth was marked with a sword.

“No one lives to be exhibited by others, and no one has the right to exhibit other people.”

Bukkake, enemy-.

Focusing on the land I took down.

“From now on, I will drop you.”

The world of glass is torn.333.
