Chereads / SSSSS-Grade Infinite Regressor / Chapter 18 - Chapter 18 : [Flag Fishers (1)]

Chapter 18 - Chapter 18 : [Flag Fishers (1)]

Everyone takes some time to properly read this twelve days scenario, the longest so far.

Incarnation 1 : "12 days ! We already are more than a week past the first scenario... How much time will this hell continue ?!"

Dokkaebi Malec : "Well... You would'nt appreciate my answer for this question."

Kong Pildu and his crew get back to their bathroom for a brainstorm.

Seyna Kim : "They should discuss with the all of us !"

Yu Junghyoek : "Stay calm, we were enemies less than 24 hours ago. Let's just hope he treats us well, we don't know what is this Autority he was granted yet."

Seyna Kim : "We can leave now."

Yu Junghyoek : "Yes, but being alone in a war is risky, I prefer to wait for a better opportunity or at least some knowledge of the outside situation."

Seyna Kim : "... Right. Anyway, I think I understood everything about the scenario, we must take and defend flag and flagpole, like a real game."

~She's right, it's a like game. However there are no written limit of the power winners are granted against losers so this time might also be a life or death situation.~ Yu Junghyoek analyses.

Lee Hyunsung : "Let's focus on a strategy too, the main issue for us is the third rule : only the leader can use the flag."

Yu Junghyoek : "You are correct, Kong Pildu is known for his strong defense but he is no raider."

Lee Hyunsung : "Why did it have to be him..."

Seyna Kim : "At this point, even Cheolsu Bang the Head Gangster from Geumho Station would have been better."

~Knowing what this Cheolsu Bang tried to do to her, it's surprising to hear that.~ Yu Junghyoek notices.

Yu Junghyoek : "However..."

Lee Hyunsung, Seyna Kim and some people listening turn to him.

Yu Junghyoek : "However, the third rule also states that the ownership of a group can be obtain by stealing their flag."

Seyna Kim : "You think he will use this strategy ?"

Lee Hyunsung : "I'm not following... What's going on ?"

Kong Pildu comes back and everyone gather around him.

Yu Junghyoek : "Let's listen to him too."

Kong Pildu : "Okay listen to me everyone, we will create two teams : the lures and the defenders."

Most people are confused, but those who listened to Yu Junghyoek quicly understand.

Kong Pildu : "I will not attack the other stations by myself so the idea is to trick their leader into attacking us so that we can take their flag."

Incarnation 2 : "Tricking them ?"

Incarnation 3 : "We... want to be attacked ?"

Kong Pildu : "Moreover, we absolutly need Changstin Station flag so we have to make sure they attack us or we steal their flag before another group beat them."

~If I can control the lure team, I will be able to decide where to go and find my sister !~ Yu Junghyoek thinks.

Yu Junghyoek, looking seriously at Kong Pildu : "I volonter to be head of the lure team."

Time stops in Kong Pildu's head thanks to his [ (Rare)] skill allowing him to think for as long as he needs to.

He looks at Yu Junghyoek and recognize him as one of those who attacked him before. He sees Kim Namwoon recovering and Lee Hyunsung waiting.

He understand that Yu Junghyoek must be their leader since he is the one speaking everytime.

Time flows again as Kong Pildu glares at him : "Well... You led the raid on me from yesterday right ? I am sure you're qualified then, however I don't think you are trustworthy."

Yu Junghyoek : "Both of us will die if we don't get Changstin Station, isn't it a enough for us to cooperate ?"

Kong Pildu doesn't respond, instead he turns to his group and says : "Dear associates, I think it's time for us to test this Autority we were granted."

Landlord 1 : "Yes Pildu, Use it !"

Landlord 2 : "Make them pay for Yesterday !"

Landlord 3 : "Pildu ! Pildu !"

Kong Pildu turns to Yu Junghyoek : "Sit !"

Nothing happens, everyone stops talking.

Kong Pildu : "What ? I order you to sit ?"

[Your Autority level is too low]

[Your Autority level only allows you to forbid]

~Autority level ?~ Kong Pildu asks himself.

Kong Pildu : "I, your leader, forbid you to lie to me."

A system message appears in front of Yu Junghyoek.

[You can no longer lie to your leader]

Kong Pildu : "Try to lie now."

Yu Junghyoek : "I won't take the risk since I don't know the punishment."

Kong Pildu : "You are quite a wary man."

Yu Junghyoek : "Thanks, and that's why..."

Kong Pildu, talking over him : "However, I too am a wary man. How can I be sure you wont be a traitor ?"

Yu Junghyoek : "Well, I..."

Kong Pildu, still not letting him talk : "How can we all know you wont cause our death ?"

Yu Junghyoek looks around him, everyone is listening which makes him feels a lot of pressure.

Him : "I... I..."

Kong Pildu : "Louder, I don't hear a thing."

Yu Junghyoek : "When the apocalypse came to us, only two kind of people came out alive. Those who lose their humanity fighting for their life and those who are still human, still trustworthy, those who kept their empathy and fought for someone they love."

Some people are touched, other are laughting but no one could deny those words.

Yu Junghyoek : "I have a sister that I will find and protect, I kept my humanity, I didn't kill those who didn't attack my group and I first. Now, we all are in the same team, I won't betray my team and I will protect you, I promise you."

A few people applaud, included Lee Hyunsung.

Kong Pildu : "Well, I could believe you if I was sure you really can't lie."

Yu Junghyoek turns to the Dokkaebi : "Will I die if a disobey ?"

Dokkaebi Malec : "You won't die but I can assure you, you won't enjoy it either."

Yu Junghyoek : "..."

"I am Kong Pil--"

He instantly feels a severe pain in the chest as small lightning appears around him.

[You are not allow to lie to your leader]

Everyone takes a step back as they see such a violent scene.

Kong Pildu : "Amazing ! I was gift a really strong Autority after all."

Yu Junghyoek, trying to catch his breath : "Sa..tisfied ?"

Kong Pildu : "..."

"All right, you now are head of the lure team."

Yu Junghyoek, serious : "Great."

Kong Pildu : "Don't forget that I am your leader, I want to know everything you do."

Yu Junghyoek : "Works for me."

A few minutes later, most people choose their role : lure or defense.

Of course, Lee Hyunsung and Seyna Kim chose the lure team to stay with Yu Junghyoek.

Dokkaebi Malec : "fifteen minutes remaining."

At this moment, Kim Namwoon wakes up and Lee Hyunsung quickly explains the situation to him.

He approaches the crowd to choose the lure team. However, when he arrives, Kong Pildu looks at him angry.

Kong Pildu : "Are you the one you tried to assasinate me Yesterday ?"

Kim Namwoon, laughting : "And you are the one that I have to obey to now ?"

Kong Pildu : "You son of a..."

"I, your leader, forbid you to BREATH.".
