Shincon’s One Coin Clear - Chapter 46
Episode 46. Fourth Shelter (2)
“Sun.”
-huh?
“Let’s clear this game. please.”
The sun in the screen smiled.
-I’m talking about the obvious.
The sun entered the inn inside the shelter.
Hyeon-hye ended the stream accordingly.
-??? save? who?
-Are Taeyang Yoon’s acquaintances also trapped in Dantalian?
– DD Well, that’s why I must have connected. It’s life-threatening.
-Who are you?
-If you tell me, will we understand? It will be just user 1.
– I’ve heard about it before, so it seems like they’re a family.
-Dalba~.
-I, Ko Yeon-soo, are waiting for streamer Dalnim’s cam broadcast.
-Dalba~ Nelba~.
Hyeon-hye, who was looking at the chat window, gave a small smirk.
“What do you see tomorrow? After half a day, I saw it again. Aaaaaaa waist.”
The first thing Hyeon-hye did after turning off the broadcast was to check if Byeol-rim was all right.
Byullim’s house was just next to Taeyang’s officetel, so there was no need to go far.
“Fortunately, things look fine.”
Like Taeyang, she was lying in the capsule with a relaxed expression as if nothing had happened.
In case they weren’t siblings, their expressionless faces, which looked oddly comfortable, resembled each other.
The capsule was legally required to have a system in case the user lay down for a long time.
Nutritional supply and countermeasures for urinary pressure sores or poor blood circulation.
At first, there was a lot of public opinion mocking the capsule companies and the government, asking if they were raising the price of the device unnecessarily, but now this law was saving Dantalian victims.
In fact, there have been cases where gamers who used illegally modified capsules became seriously ill with bedsores.
Hyun-hye, who confirmed the condition of Byulrim, returned to Taeyang’s officetel, which now feels almost like her own home.
“Phew, I didn’t even play games, so why am I so tired?”
Hyeon-hye buried herself on the sofa.
In fact, it was a tiring job.
Because it was her job to stay alert and focus on Taeyang’s situation, and constantly look for useful information through chats and communities.
“rice. I just want to eat and sleep.”
While I was picking out food for delivery with my eyes closed from staring at the monitor all day, my smartphone rang.
unknown number.
Hyeon-hye thought about quitting for a while before accepting it.
“hello?”
“Are you Joo Hyun-hye?”
A woman’s voice, which seemed to be of middle age, trembled slightly.
Hyeon-hye took the phone away from her ear and grabbed her forehead at the same time.
How long has it been since you changed your cell phone and has your number been leaked?
Did the phone carrier leak the information?
Or through a restaurant you often order?
“… … My son’s friends say that he is very good at games, so if they heard rumors that he went up to the 12th floor, he would be at the shelter. If the conditions… … .”
Hyeon-hye hung up the phone without answering while contemplating the leak route.
I wanted to listen to it, but it’s already been discussed with Taeyang.
I couldn’t be affected by Taeyang’s play because I listened to each and every one of these stories.
In conclusion, clearing the game means saving everyone.
“But isn’t this a crime too?”
Hyeon-hye, who hung up the phone, pursed her lips.
Stealing someone else’s cell phone number?
As the number of viewers for Taeyang’s Dantalian broadcast increased and the ripple effect increased, this kind of thing was increasing.
Not too long ago, Taeyang’s face was featured on the 9 o’clock news.
‘King of Fist’ World Championship champion Taeyang Yoon, a professional gamer,
directly connected to clear Dantalian.
As she became famous, the number of Hyeon-hye’s bankbooks also benefited, but it was not something she liked.
This is because various things that happened after becoming famous, such as the spread of rumors of intimidation and fraud, began to target Hyun-hye.
“If you do this, Byeollim’s identity will be robbed.”
In fact, there were quite a few people who doubted the correlation between the sun and star forest.
Yun Tae-yang and Yoon Byeol-rim.
because they had the same last name.
The fact that Taeyang logged on to save his family was also a basis for their suspicions.
‘Rather, it’s amazing that it hasn’t been exposed yet.’
They are people who can even find out the cell phone number they changed a week ago, but it was unlikely that they would be able to find out the relationship between Byulrim and Taeyang.
“phew. Anyway, the real problem is this.”
Hyeon-hye’s eyes deepened as she read the article on the Internet.
-Yoon Taeyang, who climbs the dimensional labyrinth while killing other players. Possibility of killing the user?
– Suspicion of Yun Tae-yang’s murder.
-Is it murder if you kill a user in Dantalian?
Until now, there was almost no possibility that the player the sun had killed was a user.
no, there wasn’t at all.
In the first place, the point at which Taeyang started the game was almost a month after the ‘Dantalian Crisis’.
In other words, those who died would have passed the 15th floor, and only those who gave up would have been at the shelter.
And in the first place, it was obvious that the talking behavior of the users was different from that of the NPCs.
Like Messiah, users who logged in after the ‘Dantalian Crisis’ were streaming to communicate with reality, so if you met them, you would have informed them in the chat window.
But the ‘if’ is the problem.
What if, when the sun kills a player, it is clear that the player is a user?
The police or the government might try to interfere with Taeyang’s play.
“What should I do? Should I tell Taeyang to cut back on arguing with players?”
What if this story interferes with play?
But if we leave it as it is, what if it really becomes a murder?
“I don’t know.”
Concerned, Hyeon-hye threw down her smartphone and buried her face in the sofa.
The smartphone, which was tucked into the corner of the sofa, soon displayed an unknown number and cried again.

12th Floor Shelter Inn.
The sun, lying on the bed, was immersed in thought with a pillow.
More precisely, I was revisiting the parts I missed while progressing through the stages.
The biggest theme was this.
“… … What was that voice?”
When I met Untara for the first time and blocked the breath from the front.
The voice I heard at the time I was preparing for ‘Starburst High Kick – Cannon Form’ in a strong state using the skill Stormbringer.
If the mana had not miraculously stabilized after hearing the voice, Taeyang might have been hit with a breath and died on the spot.
Of course, there were some rough guesses.
Storm Bringer: A skill that summons the storm spirit lord Arasil into the body.
The sun was suspecting that ‘perhaps’ this storm spirit lord, Arasil, had helped him at that moment.
The mana that Taeyang was having a hard time dealing with was obviously the mana of the wind attribute that was caught up with him due to the spiritualization of the strong god, so it was a hit.
If it really was Arasil, the storm spirit lord, who helped the sun.
Being able to summon Arasil without the help of a skill card by making a direct contract with Arasil was almost like a ‘great mechanical device’.
The sun lying on the bed frowned.
“I want to check it out. It’s frustrating.”
In the shelter, it was impossible to use skills through cards.
Once you enter the stage, you can’t use the skill recklessly because of the cooldown, so checking that the voice is Arasil naturally became a distant task.
After thinking, Taeyang got up from the bed.
I decided to wake up right away and meet Ran on the first floor, but I didn’t intend to go to the next floor right away.
It’s because I’ve been running too much lately and I’m tired.
The body heals and recovers quickly with the correction in the game, but the mental pressure was great.
In particular, in the final battle, when Benjamin was hit directly by the right arm of Atlas, the body of the sun was almost shattered, albeit for a moment.
“I’ll have to tell Ran first and wait for Hyun-hye to turn on the broadcast.”
After tidying up his thoughts, Taeyang entered the bar on the first floor of the inn and faced an unexpected scene.
Ran was surrounded by players she didn’t know, with a puzzled look on her face.
“Is this person Ran?”
“Isn’t it exactly the same as what Messiah was talking about? But are you really pretty?”
“Once you look at the debt, you lose weight.”
“What are you guys? Don’t you get out of the way?”
Although people backed away at the angry reaction, it did not completely turn off their attention.
“Where is the sun? What did you say it looked like?”
“A fighter character with a height of over 180. I was told it was muscular. Originally, he wasn’t carrying a weapon, but after this stage, he’ll probably be carrying a sword.”
“By the way, where did the Messiah go?”
“I know? Were you here before?”
The sun stopped walking without my knowledge.
no, what is this situation?
Just then, Hyun-hye turned on the broadcast.
– Taeha!
– Moon-ha!
– Taeha!
-I heard messiah’s room is messed up right now?
-Is the one in the shelter really the Messiah?
-Really??
-Is it the same shelter as the Messiah and the sun?
As soon as I turn on the broadcast, the chat goes down like crazy.
Messiah?
what is this sound.
Then someone grabbed Taeyang by the shoulder.
“found.”
The sun reflexively brushed his shoulders and turned around.
gray hair.
Eyes glimmering as if in madness.
Sword scars across the entire face.
Taeyang, who identified the man, was surprised.
It took me a while to recognize him because of the sword wound, but considering the circumstances, it’s strange that I don’t recognize this man.
“Me Messiah?”
“Yoon Taeyang, right?”
The man grinned.
– Messiah!
-ㅅㅅ The rumors were true?
-? why is he here? Didn’t you start a while ago?
-Everyone caught up.
-ㅋㅋㅋㅋ I promised that I would never catch up with you, but let’s meet again.
– Even he came up later. lol.
Hyeon-hye muttered in an embarrassed voice.
– No, what is this… … .
“Don’t you know anything?”
-I just logged on after waking up from sleep. I ordered rice and you didn’t turn on the broadcast, so I turned it on. What’s the situation?
Then someone on the other side screamed.
“The Messiah is over there! Are you with a man?”
“uh? Isn’t that Yoon Taeyang?”
“Is that man Yoon Taeyang?”
“He only carries a single sword, and is Aksharon’s skin. type of armor. Is it the right impression?”
The players who had gathered around Ran rushed toward the sun.
“sun! What’s happening? I came down from sleep and all of a sudden people called your name… … .”
I don’t know either.
“wait for a sec. Let’s sort things out.”
“uh? uh?”
“hey! Wait! Talk to us for a second!”
Taeyang grabbed Ran’s wrist and went back into the dorm.
***
Taeyang grasped the situation through Hyeonhye.
I was so embarrassed that I turned off the broadcast.
“So you mean Messiah, the player who logged into the game much earlier than me, entered the rest area on the 12th floor after me? With other users?”
-uh. Perhaps some of them were originally from the shelter on the 12th floor.
About eight users gathered around Ran.
Even on the 12th floor, it was a high rank close to the top 1%.
“what the. There were eight other people besides me and him who logged into the game?”
-The six of them met the Messiah at the shelter and came along.
“ah.”
surely.
Even if you can’t do something alone, being in a group gives you courage.
Especially if there is a central point like the Messiah.
-I watched the broadcast over there, and it looked like he wanted to put a straw in it.
“hmm. I don’t like that.”
“what?”
Taeyang explained the situation to Ran’s question, who had not heard the conversation.
“Oh, I don’t really want to move with those guys.”
“so do i.”
A rib was dug between the sun’s forehead.
“If you follow me, you can’t stop me.”
– Yes, that’s the real problem.
It’s a systemic problem with Dantalian.
When assigned to the same shelter, they were assigned to the same stage unless the number of stage members was narrowly cut off.
“What do we do? Are you threatening to kill me? Then won’t you follow me?”
– Oh, I had something to say about that.
Hyunhye explained the situation in reality, and Taeyang touched his forehead.
“I woke up one day and why did things become so complicated?”
Hyunhye smiled bitterly.
“anyway.”
The sun rose from its seat.
“Let’s call the Messiah. If we listen to the other side, there will be no progress.”
