Chapter 203: Fake Revolutionary (5)

TL Note: Sorry, I live a few hours away from my family for work. Today I drove back to visit them for a few days and forgot my laptop charger. I can still translate on my phone but cant upload chapters. I will release the rest of this weeks chapters today. Then expect a few days of no chapters before there is a mass release thus/fri depending on how tired I am from the drive.

Spy

I once read a phrase about the spies in Ways of Survival.

All positions in the Revolutionary Game belong to either the Revolutionary or the Dictator. There is only one position that isnt fixed and that is the Spy.

The most dangerous and most cowardly position in this Revolutionary Game. Therefore, Ways of Survival described the spy as followed:

The team that gets the spy can win the game.

In the Revolutionary Game where information was a top priority, the status of the Spy was great.

It was because the spy could check the position information of the desired person. There was a limit of 10 people a day but this alone was enough for the spy to shake the entire board.

Right now, a person claiming to be the spy was in front of me. Are you Yoo Jonghyuk?

The appearance of the man didnt go well with the Demon World. He gave off an ambiguous feeling. No, to be precise what was it? Why did I get deja vu from this face? I didnt recall a similar appearance in Ways of Survival.

I replied to the man, Thats right. I am Yoo Jonghyuk.

By the way, the mans reaction was subtly strange.

Hrmm. Is that so?

At this moment, I realized something. By the way, you know my name.

Usually he should be asking if I was really the revolutionary. Yet he first confirmed that my name was Yoo Jonghyuk.

The man shrugged. Haha, it is a famous name.

Unlike his words, the man was stubbornly staring at my appearance. It was as if he was contrasting it with something he knew. I became certain.

This person knows Yoo Jonghyuk.

I quickly recalled Ways of Survival but I couldnt make a guess. In the first place, Yoo Jonghyuk was a regressor and this was officially before he entered the Demon World.

There wasnt anyone here who should know Yoo Jonghyuk well. If he was good at observing, he mightve seen Yoo Jonghyuk by watching the Earth scenario but it was unlikely.

Due to my poor reaction, Jang Hayoung, Aileen and Mark were nervously glancing between me and the man. Maybe they instinctively felt something.

I decided to find out the identity of my opponent. What is your name?

I am Aurelius.

Aurelius?

I hesitated for a moment. I remembered hearing this name somewhere. It wasnt Ways of Survival but somewhere else.

It is an unusual name.

So they tell me.

Then you are a spy?

Thats right.

[The exclusive skill Lie Detection Lv. 3 is activated!]

[During the Revolutionary scenario, you cant use the Lie Detection skill.]

As expected, this skill didnt work. I had guessed it.

There was a scene where Yoo Jonghyuk of the 111th regression had been frustrated after learning that this skill didnt work. I tried it just in case but it was as I figured.

Well, if Lie Detection could be freely used then the difficulty of this scenario would be very easy. Fortunately, I didnt only have Lie Detection.

[The exclusive skill Character List is activated!]

Of course, I couldnt discern the exact position of the opponent after using Character List. Nevertheless, I could at least figure out if he had a special position or not.

[The persons information cant be accessed through Character List.]

[This person isnt registered on the Character List.]

What? I was confused for a moment.

[The information on the corresponding person is being updated.]

[This persons information will be added in the next update.]

It wasnt the first time I heard this message but it was unexpected. The man didnt know my situation and asked,

Huh? Whats wrong?

A person who couldnt be read using Character List. It meant this man was a person who didnt contribute to the original Ways of Survival novel. In other words, the man was a variable I created.

But how was it possible? This was the Demon World, not Earth

I was hesitating when Mark asked, Did you come here to join our side?

Maybe, maybe not.

What does that mean?

I came to save you. It is obvious that the revolution will be destroyed at this rate.

You are coming to sprinkle the ashes even though the meal hasnt been cookied yet?

It isnt a joke. Public opinion regarding you isnt good. I dont know if you have seen outside.

Certainly, the outside had been noisy for a while. I heard a knocking on the door of the office. We glanced at each other before heading straight outside. Loud voices were heard as soon as I went outside.

Revolutionary!

Countless gazes focused on me after someone shouted. It was a crowd of nearly 100 people. Some of them shouted towards me in exaggerated voices.

It is because of you! If it wasnt for you!

My wife was hurt!

Someone even threw stones. To be honest, I was a bit surprised. There was some damage but it wasnt enough for them to come out to such an extreme degree.

The voices continued, It was better when the Night came once every three days!

Before the Revolutionary scenario was invoked, Night only came once every three days. Now Night was invoked two days in a row. It was natural for peoples fears to be heightened.

Jang Hayoung shouted towards these people. You crazy what are you crazy fuckers talking about? Are you so pathetic? It is okay for one person to die every three days?

Some people heard this and stepped back. Jang Hayoung continued to shout.

If you want to live that way then leave the industrial complex!

W-What does a little boy like you know? Do you have any idea of what it is like outside?

The voices were frightened. Everyone here was well aware of it.

Civilians belong to the scenario of the industrial complex. If they leave here, they will be given an exile penalty for leaving the scenario area.

The exile penalty. There was no one in the Demon World who didnt know what it was.

Thus, people would rather turn the roulette of death once every three days. Now that the revolutionary emerged, the interval of the roulette had decreased from three days to one day.

D-Do we have to experience Night every day from now on?

What are you going to do? What are you going to do in the future?

The voices were filled with panic.

Aileen and the other council members tried to restrain them but the crowds actions became fiercer. I turned my head and saw Aurelius staring at me with a despicable smile.

Do you now understand whats going on?

A revolutionary who didnt have the support of the citizens was bound to be defeated.

I smiled bitterly. You are on the dukes side.

It isnt important. The important thing is your choice.

So what do you want?

Surrender to the duke. Everyone else can live except for you. In any case, your revolution is going to fail.

I will be the sacrifice?

Im not saying that. Ill help you find a way to live.

How?

If you are really Yoo Jonghyuk, I will protect you.

Doesnt the duke want to kill me?

My backer is far beyond Duke Syswitz.

An existence that Duke Syswitz couldnt be compared to. I was quite intrigued by the suggestion. If I wasnt Yoo Jonghyuk then I mightve thought about it for a moment.

Of course, I will refuse.

I see. You will regret it.

The next moment, Aurelius disappeared. In the midst of the crowd, someone shouted, Lets give him to the duke!

The duke said he will end the scenario if we hand him in!

Then the Night wont come!

The voices that came out spread like wildfire. It was very interesting. In fact, I had seen a similar sight before. Maybe it was during the Mino Soft labour negotiations.

Everything is over when the next Night comes! We have to catch the revolutionary before that!

The crowd was moving with overwhelming agitation. The people were so terrified that it led to a backlash against me.

S-Somebody grab him!

I stared at them for a moment before stepping towards the crowd. The crowd was confused as I walked forward without any fear. My surroundings split apart like Moses wave because the people tried to avoid contact with me.

Are you that afraid of the executioner?

I spoke as I pulled out Unbroken Faith. Then the Blade of Faith vibrated and a white light burst from it. My voice filled with magic power poured cold water on the crowd. A few people in the crowd were surprised by the wave of magic power and fell on their asses, which others backed away. I spoke towards them in a serene voice,

Everybody has forgotten that this isnt the Night.

I raised the sword towards the air. The magical wave of White Pure Star Energy poured from the heart of the gold dragon and filled the dark sky with a white light. My actions frightened people and they exclaimed, W-What!

He wants to kill people!

Aaaaack! The revolutionary is killing civilians!

The surprised people screamed and Aileens shouts could be heard. However, I ignored all sounds and ran to the centre of the crowd. Then I swung myself towards someone in the crowd without hesitation.

First one.

He was one of the men who had been inciting the crowd. The man was pierced in the heart and couldnt even scream. He just watched me with wide eyes as he died.

[The exclusive skill Fourth Wall is activated!]

The sensation of murder was gnawing at my hand. Obviously, I was affected by the move to kill someone. It was due to the habit that formed from trying to keep the King of No Killing attribute.

However, today I didnt hesitate a single bit. It was as if I really had become Yoo Jonghyuk.

The second one.

The blade moved through the air and blood scattered. A second mans head flew away. Blood splashed, wetting my clothes while the fearful expressions of the people around me could be seen.

I moved my sword and stabbed the last man in the back.

The last one.

I killed three people in an instant and looked around. There were constant screams as the grieving civilians watched me. It wasnt just the citizens.

Aileen, Jang Hayoung and Mark were the same. They didnt understand what was going on and panic filled their faces.

The revolutionary killed ordinary civilians. Nothing I said would be a convincing explanation. Nevertheless, this was something I never needed to explain.

[A change in the Revolutionary scenario has occurred!]

Everyone looked up as the message was suddenly heard. It was followed by subsequent messages.

[An executioner has been killed by someone.]

[An executioner has been killed by someone.]

[An executioner has been killed by someone.]

.

.

.

[Current number of executioners remaining: 7.]

Peoples expressions changed at the messages.

A total of three people died. The number of dead executioners was also three.

The people watching me with trembling eyes now screamed and retreated from the dead bodies. It was as if they were looking at something terrible.

U-Uwaaaack!

E-Executioner? They were hiding here?

Aaron was an executioner! Oh my god!

Executioners hid among the civilians. In the midst of this colossal betrayal, the crowd gradually realized.

The executioners had died. The executioners they thought to be invincible had died like a normal man.

It was a story they had never experienced before. In front of this story, people were being inspired in unexpected ways.

One man rose first and drew a sword. His eyes were blazing with anger. S-Son of a bitch! Kill those sons of a bitches!

Those who had just been threatening me started to trample on the corpses. The seething heat of the crowd was several times their previous emotions. They had all lost something to the executioner. This was an act of miserable revenge but it was the best they could do.

I leisurely strolled through the crowd. Then I grabbed the neck of a man.

Kuaack!

You still have the great skill to incite others. The man who tried to escape struggled in my hands. How are you unscathed, Department Head Han Myungoh?
