The Cook of a Perished World - Chapter 340
Episode 340: Miscellaneous Ghost (1)
“After that man came to his senses, he didn’t say a single word! “You didn’t tell the truth!”
Let Han Yi-seo shout out like that.
The leaders of each group gathered looked at her with puzzled eyes.
“Mr. Lee Seo?”
“What is that…?”
Han Yi-seo.
This woman has a job as a shaman.
In fact, in terms of combat, he was not a very powerful awakener.
However, it is not a production job.
From the perspective of those who don’t know her major, she is a person who makes them wonder, “Why is she in such a high-ranking position?”
but.
‘It’s different in fields related to spirit or spirit.’
The same goes for Taejun in our unit.
The same goes for Han Yi-seo.
People like that may not be of much use in other fields.
When it comes to his specialty….
‘He sometimes displays tremendous abilities that overwhelm the performance of other awakened people.’
Her abilities were quite diverse.
Among them.
[Truth Discrimination]
This skill is.
It was an incredibly powerful morale skill.
“What do you mean… you didn’t tell the truth?”
In Han Yi-seo’s words.
Most of the leaders looked puzzled.
‘Well, this part has already been confirmed.’
Han Yi-seo’s ability is definitely strong, though.
It was also an ability that rapidly weakened the moment its identity was revealed.
As soon as I found out that she had [Truth Discernment], I even took advantage of it.
so that.
Including myself, there were only three people who knew about [Truth Determination]…
no, including me, who had recently joined, there were only four people in total.
“sister. Is that true?”
“…It means that what Miss Lee Seo said was true.”
An ability that no one knows about except the three leaders of the Northern Branch and me.
in other words.
“Miss Lee Seo, it’s been a while. But what I said was a lie…”
Grinning.
“Are you saying this with evidence?”
That man was said to be a high-ranking member of this association.
It means that it is an ability that even Jang Ji-han does not know about.
In Jang Ji-han’s words.
The leaders of the association frowned and nodded.
“…I’m upset, but he’s right.”
“In fact, the author attacked us. “Then it becomes true that you betrayed me.”
“But everything I’ve said so far is a lie… How can that be?”
This story cannot be a lie due to its logical structure.
When people are embarrassed.
“It’s a lie.”
I opened my mouth resolutely.
Unlike the past.
Due to the previous battle, my status in this group is quite… quite a lot.
It went up like crazy.
“You’re saying that’s a lie?”
“If you say it that way, yes, but…”
When they heard Han Yi-seo’s words, they looked at them as if they were saying some nonsense.
I started to think that what she was saying might be true.
“But how can this be a lie?”
“Well, if you watch, you’ll know.”
“…?”
Since I came here, I haven’t had much time to use it.
Still, this is my specialty.
“Until now, I have left it to my own conscience… but it will be different from now on.”
“…?”
After I approached the tied man.
He took a handkerchief out of his pocket, held it, and put it to his mouth.
“…Ugh!?”
The guy twists his body as if he’s embarrassed.
I held the guy down and rubbed the handkerchief near his respiratory tract.
A scene that others would understand as forcibly inhaling something.
…but it’s okay.
‘Well, this is just acting.’
And at the same time.
Hide behind his back so that no one can see you.
[Honest feelings…]
Take out one of the combat rations.
He put it behind his back.
‘Not only did this guy lose all of his energy from the battle with me, but he was also suffering from various debuffs due to Kim Jin-kyung’s poisonous gas.’
[Force feeding]
The power to resist my abilities.
Because I won’t be able to stay.
“Puh-haaaa…! “What have you done to me!”
The guy looks at me with puzzled eyes.
I smiled and ignored those stares and opened my mouth.
“Okay then… let’s assume there haven’t been any questions so far. “I ask again.”
“What…”
“First question.”
I got to eye level with him again.
I ask while glaring into the guy’s eyes.
“Are you really Jang Ji-han?”
“…?”
In those words.
I could feel the leaders standing behind me looking puzzled.
Of course.
This is….
‘Because it’s a question I’ve already asked once.’
Even the most meaningless identity verification question.
Why do you have to ask that again?
You must be thinking something like that.
“Ha… So why are you asking such a strange question?”
To my question like that.
The guy who was asked the question also laughed as if it was absurd.
“Am I really Jang Ji-han?…”
To my question.
“Of course not!”
He answered very sincerely.
* * *
“yes? “Isn’t it true?”
“Isn’t it obvious! “Why on earth are you asking such a stupid question…?”
“I thought it wouldn’t be me either.”
I smiled and nodded in response.
Did I feel something uncomfortable about seeing myself like that?
The guy’s tail hangs strangely.
and.
“…huh? “What did you just say?”
“Jang Ji-han… isn’t he?”
Among those who heard the answer.
A subtle air begins to spread.
“…uh? “What did I say?”
“I’m sorry, but this is the place to ask questions.”
I think it was only then that I realized something was wrong.
Jang Ji-han reflects on what he said.
‘…no.’
To ‘something pretending to be Jang Ji-han’.
I asked the following question:
“This is the second question. Did Jang Ji-han betray humanity?”
Likewise.
A question I’ve already asked once.
“No… he didn’t betray humanity…”
“…!”
but.
The answer to that was a little different.
“What on earth is this…”
He answered with his own mouth, but as if he couldn’t believe it.
A guy whose eyes start rolling at an incredible speed.
“Now you are answering sincerely. “Thank you, though.”
In response, I smiled and said.
“You lied to me.”
“That’s right….”
“You should have clearly told me that your life depends on your answer… That’s really great.”
Most people didn’t seem to understand this sudden conversation.
Just one person.
“…That’s amazing.”
[Poisonist] Jin-kyung Kim seems to understand this situation.
“A confession that works even for high-level awakened people… I can’t make it yet.”
I muttered like that.
“…!”
After hearing that murmur.
The people gathered realized.
“Confession…!”
actually.
I had a lot of concerns about whether I could use this ability in front of others.
‘[Special sauce] is an ability that I want to hide as much as possible.’
Just like Han Yi-seo’s determination of the truth.
No, more than that.
Although it is an ability that is not good for being known.
so that.
Even though I used that ability this time.
It only showed one of its abilities.
‘As long as it’s a confession-related ability, there won’t be a big problem if it’s exposed.’
The humans in the expeditionary force assumed that I was an assassin.
I did my best to act.
‘I used a confession-type poison or skill…’
I guess you can understand that much and move on.
I ignored people’s surprised looks.
I continued talking to the guy.
“You should be punished for lying to me, but… let’s postpone that punishment for a little while. “Go to the next question.”
“….”
“This is the third question.”
The guy’s eyes are flustered.
I start shaking at an incredible speed.
“Is there a traitor to humanity other than Jang Ji-han?”
“That…”
Let’s ask the third question.
The guy’s face gradually turns red.
“Kruk…!”
The blood vessels are sticking out as if they are about to burst.
The face became strangely distorted.
“!@%!%(*@!!!??????!!!”
“!?”
In an incredibly loud voice.
The guy lets out a scream that sounds like an unidentified alien language.
He rages like that for a while and goes crazy. And
then
.
Soon
.
Puuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
.
_
_
_ It was flowing.
There was no trace of reason in its blank, open eyes. It looked
as if it had died suddenly
or had turned into an idiot.
“This can’t be right.”
“If you say something you shouldn’t say, you’ll die… That’s the kind of prohibition. Couldn’t it be the same thing?”
When people saw that, they thought Jang Ji-han had died. It was
exactly as they said.
Looking at the current situation, it looked like he was under some kind of ban.
“No.”
“Huh?”
Unlike them.
I could clearly feel something.
‘That energy!’
Jang Ji-han, who had turned into a corpse with his head down.
Busily moving deep inside his body.
Struggling to get out of that body…
Han. Energy!
‘It’s the energy that leaked out when you killed monsters!’
It had already been quite a while since I first encountered it.
I could only feel that energy.
‘I couldn’t see it and I couldn’t touch it.’
Everything. My characteristic that I was able to identify.
An unidentified energy that I
couldn’t recognize even with [Food Ingredient Identification (Enhancement)] .
I still
didn’t know the identity of that energy.
… And I
felt a little uneasy that that situation would continue. “Han Yi-seo!”
“Yes!”
I
was planning to find out the identity of that energy
here .
Han Yi-seo.
People with the same job as her are infinitely incompetent in other areas, but they
can show tremendous ability in their major. ..
Among the skills she possesses,
[Truth Discrimination] was definitely a powerful ability, but if
you really think about it,
‘even that powerful ability… is far from Han Yi-seo’s main specialty.’
Yes,
I like Han Yi-seo. The reason I was called wasn’t just because of my role as a lie reader.
Rather, it was to give her something to do that she was much better at.
“That bastard is running away! catch!”
“yes!”
I point to the top of Jang Ji-han’s head and shout.
In response to my command, Han Yi-seo raises the head of the sword and shouts in a loud voice.
“Great Spirit…!”
Her occupation is a shaman.
and.
What is there to say that shamans are good at?
“Please subdue that evil spirit!”
A place to exorcise evil spirits.
* * *
“Great Spirit…! Please subdue that evil spirit!”
Han Yi-seo shouted in such a loud voice.
I slammed the spear in my hand into the empty air.
‘…?’
Everyone who saw that was puzzled.
It might have been better if he had swung it directly at Jang Ji-han.
It looks like the sword is just being swung in the empty air.
At first glance, it seemed like it was a meaningless thing to do, but…
Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat at first glance it seemed like it was a meaningless thing to do?
The result is.
It was something a little special.
“!?”
The moment she hit the head.
Jang Ji-han was unconscious with his head down, as if he had suddenly died.
It seemed as if the body had been roughly hit by something huge.
It falls to the floor with tremendous force.
“Off… gasp….”
And.
After I approached that guy.
I stretched out my feet and made the face of the guy on the floor face towards me.
He said, bowing his head slightly.
“A person is asking a question…”
“This is…”
Then.
Those eyes that seemed like the soul had left….
“Where are you running, you bastard?”
“What on earth is this…?”
The light was back.
