[Chapter 094]

[What I couldn’t find (2)]

A few days ago, Lee Kang-hyeok said.

It is said that < Left > will be exhibited as a slave at the Cheonggyecheon Underground Market.

Then he looked at Eunha’s eyes. Because I wondered if Eunha’s commissioned < Drift > was an acquaintance of Eunha’s.

However, Eunha was not particularly shocked when she heard the story.

It was because I guessed that the fact that < Tteobori > was in the underground market was that it was sold as a slave.

I couldn’t pinpoint the location of Son Ga-yeon or the twin sisters, but I thought they would show up someday if I kept an eye on the underground market in < Drift >.

Choksae was from a slave.

Born as a slave from birth, he was a person who wandered the underground market as a commodity.

However, the only person who knew about his past was Eunha at the gypsophila party.

Because even before joining the gypsophila party, I was active as a player in < Spread >.

Even so, the reason he knew was because he watched the deathbed of < Tribbery >.

The ‘…leader……’

gypsophila party was attacking one of the black dungeons, < Abyssal Dungeon >.

There, the gypsophila party was destroyed.

When the allied forces faced the boss monster, he and Lee Yu-jeong were the only ones who survived the gypsophila party.

< Mute > Ga-Yeon Son, who could not speak,

died in a surprise attack by hostile forces.

< Loser > Seon Ki-jun sacrificed his body to draw aggro from the monster corps and died.

< Mad Dog > Jinpa-rang was pierced by dozens of magic bullets and fell down at the final gateway to make a way for the allied forces.

And Choksae lost his life while changing the target of the trap to himself without being able to release the trap that was flooding the party.

At that time, Choksae confessed his secret to him who watched his death from close.

‘…I’ve been… lied to… there’s one thing…’

‘…….’

‘My finger… dismantled the trap… that it was cut… Is it a lie?’

In < Shattering >, even in the face of death, he stuttered as usual.

As if you are not afraid of death.

As if I was finally freed from life.

Still, he was smiling. For him, who had lived with a forced smile for decades, no other face existed.

‘…I was a slave.’

< Leave it > said while holding Eunha’s hand and coughing up blood.

The reason why he cut off his finger wasn’t actually cut off while disassembling a trap, but because someone who was once his owner cut off his finger as if he were engraving his name on an object.

Then why didn’t I tell people about this until now?

< Leaving > gave an advisory answer.

‘That’s… side… they’re sold…!’

Indeed, it was an excuse worthy of < going away >.

That is why he never stopped talking to hide his shame, and he always lied.

even the moment of death.

‘…that’s bullshit. Do you… believe it…?’

< Take Beori > shed bloody tears and smiled.

< Gwabeori >, who lied until he died, couldn’t stop lying even when death was upon him.

That is why the people who gathered around him eventually turned their backs on the consistent appearance of < Tteobeori >.

Because he wasn’t the only one who died on the spot.

However, Eunha kept her seat and told him as he slowly fell into a deep sleep.

‘—I believe.’

The eyes of < Gwaberi > widened.

He let out a helpless laugh.

Nevertheless, Eunha answered again.

I believe.

< Tteobori > always lived with lies, but there was always one truth hidden inside.

In order to tell the one truth, he ineffectively uttered nine lies.

So he was called a tentacle.

‘…Only to the leader…I’ll tell you…’

Unexpectedly, he called to Eunha as he remembered something.

Then he whispered his last sincerity and passed away.

Since then, the number of Allied troops has declined significantly.

☆

The reason slaves did not exist before the world was destroyed was because people were protected by the law.

In fact, even before the end of the world, people who were not protected by the law were being treated like slaves under the name of nominal employees or wards.

The reason why the word slave was openly used after the end of the world was because it became easier to procure people who were not protected by the law.

Children who are born without knowing who their parents are and are abandoned in the slums.

Wonderrunners wandering the roadside for different reasons.

People who were not recognized by the state, like them, were not protected by the law.

And those who died from monsters and those who died in dungeons were also unknown to the state.

I couldn’t figure out if they were really killed by monsters, or if they were kidnapped after being attacked, or if they faked their own deaths.

Because there is Ain and Wonderrun.

Because there are dungeons and monsters.

People who are treated like slaves in the world do not disappear.

However, unlike them, there were also people who ended up being enslaved either forcibly or voluntarily.

What do you think you’ll do if you’re short on money? I’ve never been in need of money

This is why the golden spoon is…

I admit that I am a golden spoon, but isn’t that the same for you?

I used to be a silver spoon. what else do you mean by that?

The slaves sold here were nominally ’employees’ or ‘protectors’.

Under the jurisdiction of Baek Seo-jin, the < King of Darkness >, customers traded slaves carefully through several procedures.

Otherwise, if slaves were traded, both the good and the bad would impose sanctions on the slave trader at the same time.

No matter how heinous the world was, slaves would be set free if, in the judgment of the manager, it would be unfair or controversial.

As such, the slave trade was sensitive.

So, on the floor where the surroundings were wide open, the only place where slaves were traded was the building where the galaxy was currently located.

Anyway, what are you going to do if you’re short on money?

Then, of course, you have to work.

You have a family to support. But with your abilities, even if you earn money, you don’t have the strength to support your family. In that case?

There was still time before the slave trade began.

Sitting in a position where she could leave at any time in a building resembling an opera house, Eun-ha asked Do-jun, who was looking around.

Eun-ha could clearly imagine Do-joon frowning through the mask.

Can I get help from the government?

What kind of help do you think the government will give to a person who can live and earn money?

Hmmm…

Probably, several plans are coming up in Yu Do-Jun’s head right now.

However, there was only one way to get a lot of money at once, the easiest way out of all the ways he could think of.

Sure enough, Yoo Do-jun gave the answer he had been waiting for.

Then you have to sell me, what should I do?

There are cases where it has become so voluntarily. In this case, it is fortunate that you can take it out at any time.

So what about the coercive case?

Occasionally, some decided to become slaves directly in order to make a living or pay off their debts.

They were able to assert some rights to themselves.

However, there were also cases where people were forced to become slaves unintentionally.

For example, if you have a stuffed nose.

-It has begun.

Before I knew it, the theater was almost full.

A spotlight was lit on the stage and a man in a business suit walked out wearing a mask.

Check the rest with your own eyes.

Eunha leaned against the backrest.

After the introduction of the moderator, the exhibited slaves walked out onto the stage.

The reason why the slaves walked side by side was that the use and price of the slaves were similar.

Speaking of this product…

The moderator pointed to the woman on the far left.

The woman flinched as the spotlight shone only on her.

The woman, who had received countless stares at the price, lost strength in her legs and fell.

The presenter grabbed her arm and listed things on her profile.

It seems that he was seduced by the story of making a cheater a capable player.

the scammer said Eating this elixir will increase mana in the body.

oh really?

Another day the swindler said: You will become a player who can appear in the media, so I think you should prepare your appearance in advance. Get a procedure from a place I know.

Wow! Awesome!

“Ha ha ha ha ha!!!!”

A moderator who freely modulates male and female voices.

The woman thought that all the support was free.

However, the swindler changed his face and threatened to return the money he had invested in her.

The moderator told her story in a tone and tone as if reading a fairy tale.

Masked people blew whistles and clapped excitedly.

That’s a case with a pierced nose.

…disgusting. But in this case, can’t you be protected by the law?

It’s either one. I couldn’t even think about it because I was scared, or the person himself did something disgraceful.

The woman was sold for 63 million won.

A person’s life has been converted into money.

This place was like that.

Bruno just stared at him, and Yu Do-jun kept his mouth shut from the middle.

And the galaxy was counting down the hours.

…not yet.

Whether someone’s life is converted into money or not.

He had no mind.

The joys and sorrows of life and compassion for humans were distant feelings for him.

If it were related to himself, the story would be completely different.

In that sense, Eun-ha spat out disgust when she heard the story of the old man who was named next.

…a piece of trash.

The old man was a body of an age where he could no longer work.

Even so, the old man was forced to enter the market.

They say the family sold it.

At the time of < Destruction at the End of the Century >, when the country went into a state of anarchy for a while, there were times when people abandoned their parents or children to survive.

It still happens occasionally.

However, human beings with connections to the underground market not only committed the sin of abandoning their parents, but also the sin of selling them.

Unknowingly, Eunha recalled her family from the old man who was in the spotlight.

In my previous life, I would have said the same things that anyone would say without any inspiration.

However, Eunha, who spent time in the arms of her family in this life, sincerely cursed the person who sold the old man.

To the extent that he could not control his emotions for a moment and revealed that he was going to live.

─Be patient.

Then Bruno put a hand on his shoulder.

A hand that could easily grasp one of his own heads was pressing hard on his shoulder.

It was only then that Eunha realized that the gazes of the users were focused on her.

The fact that the exclusive players they brought are preparing to fight against the life they revealed themselves.

ha ha ha! This is also a mystery.

The atmosphere, which had been tense, entered a lull again.

The moderator, who calmed the atmosphere, naturally continued the old man’s story.

The users were amused by swearing at the son who sold the old man.

For those who covered their faces with masks, everything that happened here was entertainment.

Only a few people truly felt sympathy for the elderly.

Hey, do those people keep looking at us?

look at it yes

Meanwhile, the exclusive players continued to keep an eye on the galaxy.

There was nothing good about standing out in the underground market.

Although he later regretted his actions, he had no desire to bow down.

If they come to a fight, then I’ll get rid of it.

Eun-ha watched the unfinished transaction, remembering the masks of those who watched her.

In the end, due to gloomy circumstances, the old man won the bid for 92 million won, higher than the woman who had just won the bid.

The old man who was abandoned by his son was very appetizing.

An old man with such a background would be a ‘collectible’ that is not easily obtained.

Oh, is there anything you want to say?

Even after winning the bid, the old man stood on the stage for a while.

Ever since I got on the stage, I was looking up at something calmly.

The emcee, who promptly grasped it, brought the microphone to the old man’s mouth.

-I don’t resent it. are you okay.

dry voice.

The old man said that and turned around.

The old man disappeared, and the moderator again spoke of the new slave.

…Can I not hold grudges? I don’t know.

Do-joon and Eun-ha did not pay much attention to the transaction.

The two of them just looked for someone from where the old man was looking a moment ago and looked down at the stage in a daze.

If you were like me, you would be resentful. In my heart, I want to kill all the people who made my mother suffer, and I also want to kill my father, who was just watching it, but…

Yoo Do-jun added.

Why do parents devote themselves to their children without paying anything in return?

Why do you devote yourself to a job that doesn’t make any money even when you’re being sold?

…human relationships are give and take. But children always receive, and parents always give….

Where in the world is such a ridiculous relationship? I really don’t understand.

Yoo Do-jun muttered in a complicated way.

Knowing his family history, Eun-ha nodded quietly.

If it had been in her previous life, Eunha would have given a rough estimate.

However, Eun-ha seemed to know why parents devote themselves to their children without paying anything in return.

Because I’m the same

It’s good just to look at.

It’s good just to be there.

It was the feeling he always felt for his family.

Eun-ha thought that she would be able to devote herself to her family in order to gain this feeling.

Of course, the reasons why parents want to devote themselves to their children will be a little different from what they feel.

-It’s not that I don’t want a reward. Because you’ve already paid enough.

“yes?”

It was then.

Bruno, who had been silent for a while, opened his mouth that had been kept firmly shut.

The price was sufficient for the safe birth of her son. At least I think so.

“…….”

More than anything, I was able to get one more reason to live on the day my son was born. That’s enough.

you don’t know yet

Bruno muttered quietly to the two people who were watching with their mouths open.

Then he stroked their heads with his large palms.

The two quietly entrusted themselves to his touch even though their hair was disheveled.

What is the reason for your new life?

Then Eunha asked a question out of curiosity.

I wondered if my father and mother had the same thoughts as him.

—To see Nier living happily until he dies.

It’s so humble.

Eunha thought so.

Still, he looked great.

So I laughed out loud.

─Then, let’s introduce the products to be exhibited next.

All of the slaves on the stage had already been sold.

The moderator then brought out the slaves who were in the tent anew.

…come.

A handsome man who stood out among the slaves.

A man with long hair that fell to the floor and a loose suit was walking out, receiving cheers from people wearing masks.

is that person uh. …Hey, I think there are quite a few people who want to buy that person, right?

women as well as men.

Even the fat man who bought the old man a moment ago.

Eun-ha sighed as she saw the people who were interested in < Tteobeori >.

It didn’t seem like it would be easy.

I had no intention of leaving, though.

Have you brought enough money?

Did you really entrust me with money?

The walking wallet grumbled.
