ATH - 27

  --------------------------------------------------

"Are you tired?"

"Eek! Yes, yes. No, it's not."

"We're halfway done. Just a little more effort."

"Yes!"

As soon as I spoke to the glamorous beauty, she was startled and answered in a way that I couldn't tell if she agreed or disagreed. I figured it would only be a hindrance to talk to her, so I just told her to go back to what she was doing.

As I kept beating the cop bastards to death as they came, the hallway couldn't help but be filled with blood. Since it was a trace that anyone would find suspicious, I asked the two beauties to mop the hallway after I cleaned up the bodies.

Whether it was because Ji Wihan convinced them that if we were caught after killing the cops, they wouldn't let us live, or just because Ji Wihan convinced them, the beauties helped willingly.

According to the mullet pig and the section chief, a total of about 100 police officers from the Gangnam Police Station and nearby precinct stations came here. Since not all the police officers came, the number wasn't as high as I thought, but it was still a burdensome number for me to kill alone.

But fortunately, I didn't have to kill all 100 or so.

Currently, the police officers who came here were divided into two factions. The Hotel faction and the COEX faction.

The Hotel faction was a group of cop bastards led by the mullet pig, who arbitrarily used civilians and lived lavishly on goods from department stores and shopping malls. The COEX faction was a group of police officers who at least prevented civilians from being used as meat shields and secured and distributed food so that they wouldn't starve to death.

Not all the police in Korea were rotten.

However, as we could see from the fact that the station chief and the section chief were included, the Hotel faction was stronger in armament and power. So, they couldn't even stop the tyranny of dragging women to the hotel or using the announcer as an exchange. They threatened that if they even stopped that, they wouldn't give them any food at all, so it couldn't be helped.

Anyway, that's why I only had to kill about 60 cop bastards. The remaining 40 or so were from the COEX faction, so I didn't need to bother with them. If I killed all the cop bastards, they would be happy, not try to stop me.

Glancing at the next room, there were already 27 bodies piled up.

If they had a group chat, they would have noticed long ago that contact had been lost after this many people went up. But because they were contacting each other individually using walkie-talkies, no one suspected anything until I killed 27 of them.

Thanks to that, I was able to continue hunting easily. I've already killed almost half, so I just need to put in this much more effort.

"Hey. Send Officer Joo."

To avoid causing an accident by killing the wrong police officer, I cross-verified the next target and called them using the mullet pig. After repeating this 27 times, the mullet pig became natural at calling the next guy.

-Uh, um....

But the announcer's response was different.

"What? I said send Joo Yoon-bak."

-Why can't you talk? Ah, just give me the walkie-talkie! Ack! Are you Chief?

Suddenly, a man's voice was faintly mixed in, followed by the announcer's short scream, and then a man was confirming if he was the chief.

'I thought it was going to be easy.'

I instinctively sensed it. No matter what the mullet pig said here, that guy wouldn't believe it.

"What nonsense are you talking about? I'm the chief, who else would I be!"

-Where are the people you called earlier?

"Uh, uh?"

The mullet pig didn't know what to do and was just cautiously looking at me. In the meantime, I beat him every time he contradicted the section chief's answer or just got caught.

But that seemed to be poison. If he had just answered smoothly, I could have killed one or two more comfortably. But he was doing such a stupid thing.

'I can't help it.'

It was already a great achievement to be able to kill 27 people easily. I couldn't expect any more luck.

"What do you mean? They're all in the penthouse."

-I'm sorry, but could you call Detective Hong?

"Uh, uh, that's..."

The mullet pig belatedly tried to somehow fix it, but the ship had already sailed. Now was the time to worry about how to deal with the remaining 30 or so people.

Then it suddenly occurred to me that people also gave points. While I was killing the cop bastards, I only checked if they had useful traits, and I hadn't seen how many points I had accumulated.

「Hacking」

▷Access to individual trait data available

▷Current packets: 17.67p

▷Storage (4/5): 「Agoraphobia (lv.1)」/「Cold-blooded (lv.3)」/「Fighter (lv.1)」/「Exorcism (lv.2)」

I had accumulated quite a few points. Considering that I had around 2p before, and I got about 2.76p and 2p when I caught the Kobold zombies and the Bummy zombies, and I used 2p to extract 「Exorcism (lv.2)」 from a cop's corpse, that meant that I had earned about 13p from catching the cop bastards.

It was a little over 0.4p per person, which was more efficient than auto-hunting. As expected, killing people was the best in terms of efficiency.

I immediately used 15p to raise 「Gigolo (lv.2)」 to level 2.

I judged that reducing the damage I received was better in a fight with a large number of people with guns. Because even if my physical abilities or dynamic visual acuity increased by only a few percent, it would be impossible to avoid bullets.

The remaining packet points were only 2.67p.

The only thing I could raise with this was 「Hard Bones (lv.1)」. But even if the durability of my bones increased slightly, it wouldn't be able to withstand bullets, and it wouldn't reduce damage, so there was no point in raising the level.

'Huh?'

Then I realized that I had two more sources of points. I wouldn't be able to get points dramatically by killing two more people, but like the Kobold zombie that had exploded with a whopping 2.76p, I decided to get them first and then think about whether there was something else I didn't know about.

"I did my best. Now it's your turn."

The mullet pig was shamelessly spewing such nonsense, not knowing what I had come for.

"Oh, you did well. In your next life, be sure to be born as a piglet that suits your theme."

"What? Wait a minute! The promise is different!"

"I didn't kill them all. Ah, don't waste time and just get out of here."

"Wa, wait a minute! I'll give you points!"

I was about to hit the mullet pig with the wall lamp, but I stopped urgently at the sound of giving points.

The mullet pig was sweating as he looked at the wall lamp that was right in front of him. Knowing that I was really trying to kill him, he started to spit out words quickly as if he had a machine gun in his mouth.

"M, my skill is 「Point Converter」! You also, no, you also have a skill, right? I, I'll give you my points!"

"How can you give me my points?"

"My skill can receive any points and give them with any points. I'll give you points, so save me."

"You can give points?"

If that was true, it was a very coveted skill. It meant that I could turn Ji Wihan's points, which were relatively easy to get, into my points.

But no matter how coveted the skill was, it was useless as long as this mullet pig with 「Greed (lv.4)」 had it. Because he would just gobble up the points and wipe his mouth.

"How many points do you have?"

"I have 24p. If you send them now, I'll give you all of them. Anyway, I don't need to be here anymore, right?"

"Hmm. Give me half of it first."

"What?"

"I need to check if the skill is real."

"Then just 1p—"

"If you don't want to live."

"A, alright! First, put that down. To use the skill, I have to make contact with the other person."

When I raised the wall lamp again, the mullet pig said while trembling. I really didn't want to touch him, but I held back and put just one finger on the mullet pig's head.

Then, surprisingly, 2p really came to me. The mullet pig really had a skill that could convert all points.

"That's exactly half. I can never give you more than this. I'll give it to you when I leave."

"Where is this bastard taking from under the table? Only 2p came in."

"I, I really gave 12p! Really!"

"Really? I don't believe it."

"I wouldn't lie with my life on the line!"

If the mullet pig wasn't lying, it might be that the conversion rate was different for each point. The packet points, which were already hard to get, seemed to have an even lower conversion rate.

To be honest, it seemed like the mullet pig was taking from under the table, but there was no way to check. The trait information appeared after I tried to hit him in the head, but that was only because I was trying to kill him. I couldn't judge whether he was deceiving me or not.

"Hoo. I'll give you the rest when I get out of here. I'll check again then."

"There's no need."

"What?"

Bang─

I hit the mullet pig's head with the wall lamp. This time, I didn't control my strength at all, so the mullet pig's head was immediately broken and he died.

"Why would I keep you alive?"

There was no way to check, and he wouldn't give up the points that were as good as his life, so I just killed him. I needed points right away, so I neatly gave up the remaining points.

Then, after breaking the section chief's head, 1.27p was added. Unfortunately, there was no jackpot like the Kobold zombie.

Since all three traits needed 12p to raise their levels, I had no choice but to use 3p to raise 「Hard Bones (lv.1)」 to level 2.

『Kang Woori』

Skill: 「Hacking」

Traits: 「Open Eye (lv.3)」/「Gigolo (lv.4)」/「Special Ironman (lv.6)」/「Hard Bones (lv.3)」

I don't think it will make a big difference even if my bones are a few percent stronger, but still, this was the best preparation I could do.

"Excuse me."

"Yeah."

I was about to put down the status window after emptying my points, but the slender beauty cautiously called me.

I was going to ignore her because the cop bastards were coming, but my body obediently answered on its own, probably because of the remnants of 「Agoraphobia (lv.1)」.

"Um, do you think you can win?"

"I don't know."

I couldn't give her an optimistic answer. Because if I gave her false hope and the fight became disadvantageous, she might do something reckless. It was better to make her face reality and make her do something reckless now.

"You're very strong."

"It would be hard to fight even without them, but they're coming with guns. No matter how strong you are, you can't beat a gun."

"...Is there anything we can do to help?"

Unlike the glamorous beauty who trembled even when I called her, the slender beauty seemed to have a strong will and thought she should do something too.

But even with a strong will, there was nothing this woman could do. Unless she could take a bullet for me.

"Just cheer me on."

"U, um, I practiced dancing a lot to show you my broadcasting reactions, so should I show you that?"

"..."

"..."

Then the glamorous beauty who had been quietly watching and taking cues from the side intervened.

Unlike her visuals, which seemed like she would manage all the men in her fish tank, her head seemed very clear.

"If we get out of here alive, I'll let you do it with her."

"Uh, huh?"

"How about it?"

"I have to win no matter what."

The slender beauty said, putting the glamorous beauty, who was tilting her head, forward. Seeing her chest, which made my heart swell, my energy was surging.

'This is real support.'
