Infinite Mage - Chapter 1156
Unsolved Case (3)
“Nade!”
Before his friends had time to stop him, Nade took the thief’s long sword and threw it aside.
“Ugh! quite!”
Even though he couldn’t use any special abilities, his practical sense and experience were by far top-notch.
As I stabbed the dagger in his side and twisted it, the enemy groaned in surprise.
“Huh oh oh!”
‘Look at how dirty your hands are. It’s so real.’
He quickly delivered another blow to the stomach, then raised the dagger and pierced the thief’s neck.
“Grrrrr…”
Nade, who held on until he felt the full weight of the enemy on the handle, stepped back.
The thief fell like a broken old tree.
“What is the point?”
-Currently, your crime points are 58 points.
’18 points for catching one person. Are you saying that defense is also part of the crime? It’s really inefficient.’
If I had performed a mission targeting civilians, I was confident I would finish with 5 points.
“You insolent bastards!”
When I turned my head at the thief’s shout, Iruki and Eden were running around avoiding the long sword.
“You’re quite good at running away!”
Iruki dodged the long sword and completely twisted his upper body while scanning the ground.
When he swung his right arm like a whip, the dirt hit the thief’s face.
“Ugh! “My eyes!”
At the same time, Eden took a leap forward and hit the man between his legs with all his might.
“??????turn off!”
I couldn’t even scream.
As the thief with his eyes rolled up fell down with a thud, Nade cut the back of his neck.
“What is the point?”
-Currently, your crime points are 17 points.
“what?”
I don’t know who used how many points, but it was much more wasted than catching it with a sword.
Nade looked back at Eden.
“You…
“I’m sorry.”
As she stuck out her tongue and shrugged her shoulders, she heard Sirone’s voice.
“Nade!”
Sirone was rolling around on the floor, choking the thief behind his back.
“Off! away!”
The thief grabbed the long sword that had fallen to the ground and pointed it at Sirone’s face.
“Sirone!”
The moment Nade threw the dagger in his hand, his fingers bent and grabbed the handle.
-There are not enough Crime Points needed to commit a crime. The current crime point is 14 points.
‘damn!’
Bido seemed to have more points.
“die!”
The moment the thief raised his arms above his head and was about to strike with his long sword, Sirone gathered his courage.
“Yaaah!”
I twisted the thief’s neck with all my might, and it made me crack! My head turned, making an eerie sound.
The thief’s arm fell limply and everyone was speechless at the gruesome sight.
“ha. ha.”
Shirone let out a rough breath and stood up, pushing the thief’s body aside.
“Shirone, are you okay?”
Although my basic physical strength was much better than that of the average person, my back muscles still throbbed.
“huh. “You’ll be fine if you rest for a while.”
The civilian investigation team watched blankly as they subdued the bandits with only a sword.
‘What are those guys? ‘Everyone looks young.’
It was even more absurd knowing that only 100 points were given to the rookie.
“You guys…
the moment I spoke, time stopped.
-Mission ends. The reward event begins.
Nade, who was watching the frozen people, waved his hands, but caught nothing.
“Is this also a hidden code?”
Iruki said.
“I guess so. It will be a system that prevents us from knowing in any way how many points we received as a reward. It’s not fair. Because points are everything.”
-Perks! Cleared the honorable evil deeds. Double the amount of crime points earned.
As soon as he finished speaking, two crime dice fell at the party’s feet.
Nade said while no one was picking it up.
“It’s a privilege. I guess it’s because I cleared the hidden event. “Isn’t it pretty good if it’s twice as much?”
Iruki shook his head.
“You can’t necessarily say that. It’s hard to find hidden events, and as you know from experience, killing someone through battle is always a loss. “Points are awarded for every action, including avoiding defense and stabbing at vital points.”
Eden said.
“Honestly, I also think it’s inefficient. “I understand Mr. Curtis.”
“Evil deeds??????
Sirone muttered.
“I said it was an honorable act of evil. “The people we killed were vicious thieves.”
In any case, it seemed to be saying that you are evil and are no different from us.
Nade comforted.
“don’t mind. This is a game made by evil people. You know that the moment you shake, it’s over. “This is what the catacombs are aiming for.”
“okay. Of course, but…
maybe that was also true.
“Nade, I will stick with this strategy until the end.”
“of course.”
After gathering himself, Sirone picked up the Crime Dice from the floor.
A transparent surface appeared under my feet and began to rippling like a wave.
‘Random number structure.’
The code that created Havitz would have been perfect.
– Compensation details. Basic reward: 100 crime points. Additional reward: Crime points equal to the number of Crime Dice rolled three times. Perks Honorable evil deeds. Double application of all rewards.
Iruki said.
“It seems Sirone still owns Crime Dice. “If you play normally, you can get 100 points plus up to 36 more points.”
Nade clicked his tongue.
“It’s really salty, right? This is why the killer acted so petty. “It’s going to be hard to even find the money.”
Eden said.
“But Mr. Curtis’ Crime Dice was three. They have more faces than us. “The more you strengthen the dice, the greater the reward you can receive.”
“Guys… you know.”
Sirone looked back at his friends with a blank expression.
“I think I can ‘double’?”
“What are you talking about?”
“There are no restrictions on magic or fireworks here. So… you can do it. Quantum collapse.”
This was the method used to obtain legendary grade items in High Gear as well.
Iruki confirmed.
“It’s true. “In a state where time has stopped, there are no signals that limit us.”
It was only a world of probability.
“I’ll give it a try.”
Sirone rolled the dice on his palm and glared at the ground that vibrated like a string.
” wow??????
Pursuing the heart.
As the quantum collapsed, the ground froze and two dice flew over it.
‘Completely observed. In other words, 100 percent probability.’
The dice that had been bouncing along the irregularities stopped rolling, scattering to the left and right.
The numbers 6 and 6 came to mind.
“done!”
With an exhilarating hitting sound, the numbers added up to 12 and the dice fell in front of me again.
-It’s a double. You get one more chance.
“Good.”
The second time also came out 6 and 6, but this time there was no system sound.
“Hmm, I see. You only get a chance to double once per inning. But we still have two more chances, so we can roll a total of four times. Of course, if a double comes up.”
“No problem.”
Shirone caught the dice that fell in front of him and immediately threw them away.
The additional reward obtained in this way
was 172 points when added to the 72 point basic reward, and a total of 344 points was obtained by applying the double bonus.
“Oh yea! “It’s a big one!”
Nade jumped up and down while Sirone and his group were shouting hurray.
“That’s awesome! This is the way
…
Time came back and Nade came to his senses with a happy smile.
“huh? what?”
Hawkeye civilian investigators were looking at them with blank expressions.
“Hmm.”
“What happened?”
“No, no.” Unlike
Nade, who instinctively blocked information leaks,
Sirone said honestly,
“I received compensation. And I’m sorry.”
He could have even said that he was falling into the mental world, but the investigator did not ask.
“No, we got help. thanks.”
“Are you going to wait again until the bandits attack the village?”
The investigator’s expression darkened.
“I can’t delay any longer. We know Melkidu’s rules. The felon would have run much further away. So we have no choice
but to kill the residents.
“In fact, we have even confirmed that they are not real people and that dead residents are resurrected. I don’t know why I’m telling you this. I just… I don’t know. “We have to go.”
Sirone pursed his lips tightly.
‘This is why it’s so difficult.’
This was the reason why, unlike extreme good and extreme evil, merit and sorrow were unable to judge good and evil hastily.
‘Humans are evil?’
That may be possible, but before that, we need to ask ourselves this.
‘Isn’t the system wrong?’ Perhaps human society is pushing ourselves toward evil?
‘Because I have to live.’
You can’t help but compete, you can’t help but bring others down, you can’t help but be jealous and jealous…
‘I hate evil people too. I feel the same sense of injustice that Mr. Miro feels about evil.’
Just a perfect system.
‘If a world comes where there is no need to worry about disease or energy within rational intelligence, even then, if humans harm, deceive, and harass others… we can
criticize as much as we want.
‘But no. We just haven’t reached that level of intelligence yet.’
Human beings are hurt by words that are evil and their hearts are warmed by words that are good.
‘Why don’t you know how great it is? Placing value on good over evil…
in the very distant future.
‘It means we’ll get there eventually.’
As human history proves.
‘We shouldn’t define humans anymore. You shouldn’t give up in advance.’
One day evil will disappear.
‘Because I am also human.’ I just want to believe that this isn’t everything.
“yes. “I wish you good luck.”
Sirone couldn’t get the countless words that came into his mind to come out.
‘My ideal is just a delusion for every individual.’
Because even at this very moment, all of humanity is trying to stop the bomb of pain.
‘I am right.’
If we thought about those who live in the present, it would have been enough to close this world.
As the private investigators limped away, Eden approached and whispered softly.
“Let us do what we must do.”
o ≫
……Huh.
Until everything, good and evil, is integrated.
“Now then, shall we get started? They say one person can’t roll the dice in succession. “Who’s going to do it next?”
Iruki pointed to Nade, who spoke.
“Anyway, you can’t create an artificial double unless you’re Sirone. “It doesn’t matter who rolls.”
“Oh, I see. “Damn, I could have eaten it raw.”
Eden comforted.
“Still, there are 354 points. If I had played normally, I would have only had about 100 points. I would say it’s good for a start. “I’m lucky to have met Mr. Curtis.”
Nade was handed the dice.
“good. Let’s go out with a bang. “The dice god is watching me.”
“okay. “Just throw it quickly.”
“Goes! “Our brilliant destiny!” As Nade threw the dice with all his might, a red number appeared on the other side of the road.
It was 1 and 2.
“Sssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss… Shirone
and his party, who turned into light, advanced 3 squares.
