I Became a Raid Boss-Chapter 180: Is this real? (2)
[Story of meeting a streamer]
Before I get into the article, I won't reveal who it is because it might be deleted
Let's just say it's J, a streamer who likes to travel and plays a lot of Celia Online
It happened a few days ago (omitted)
...
So I was wondering if it was long, but the more I listened, the more familiar the voice sounded, so I realized it was J
If I had known this would happen, I would have brought out a piece of paper, but what the f*ck
I had no choice but to approach him to ask him to take a picture, but there was another person next to me
At first, I thought it was my boyfriend and got angry for a moment, but then I suddenly remembered that my cousin's younger sibling appeared on J's broadcast a while ago

I can't compare them exactly because they've never stood together on a broadcast, but aren't their builds pretty similar??
And since they said they've been living together for a while, it's not strange for them to go out together
But this isn't really the important thing

Can you see the pupils? If you look at it in bright daylight, it would look like light purple or pink, but anyway, it's not the typical Korean eye colorㅇㅇ
I think she's probably a foreigner
I would understand if J didn't say anything until now because she lives abroad
I wish I could see her face, but I couldn't because of the mask
But since she seems to live nearby, I think I might meet her once if I go around, so I'm thinking about going around for a while
She's the prettiest girl in the city, but she's sickly and has foreign characteristics? How can I put up with this;

-Oh
-ㅇㄱ ㅈㅉㅇㅇ?
┗(What you believe is the truth, Con)
-This kid wrote a long brain official
┗(Writer): Why is this brain official??
┗Then it's brain official, not brain official?? ┗Your face isn't even shown properly, and I didn't take a video
┗If you say you're J, do you think I'll believe you and say 'Oh, I see'?ㅋㅋ
┗(Writer) Then don't believe me. Why are you arguing? ㅄ
-Does writing 'J' have any meaning?
┗(Writer): You can avoid keyword searches
-주
┗작
-Isn't this a crime?
┗ㄹㅇ; You're so confident in declaring stalking on molka. What do you believe in to do this?
┗(Writer): Yeah, I used a VPN~ I won't get caught~
┗This little shit thinks VPN is invincibleㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
┗(Bye Con)
-Wow, you're confidently uploading a replay of a video of a regular person in secret,ㅋㅋㅋ
┗Ah... You're just a 'stupid person'
┗Don't you know why you're replaying it? ┗(Writer): Other kids have recorded it too, so why are you only yelling at me??
┗Because you're the only one who uploads it confidently
-That's why men are treated like criminals, s**t
┗(Writer): Didn't I say I'm a man?
┗(Writer): Judging by the fact that you're assuming I'm a man, you must be a misandrist ㅋㅋ
┗This guy really has no answer
-But am I the only one who's familiar with the color of his eyes?
┗I feel like I've seen this somewhere
┗ㄹㅇ Me too...
-개추
'People who broadcast need to be sensitive.'
-That was Da-eun's thought.
The waves of the Internet are fast and strong, so if you lose your mind for a moment, you're likely to get swept away by the waves.
It’s common for a popular meme that was trending on the internet to become an outdated meme a week later, and it’s not that special for an influencer known for having a good personality to suddenly fall into the abyss.
A world where you can become popular with just one word, but you can also lose everything with just one word.
In such a world, you had to be sensitive to the flow in order to not fall behind.
That’s why Da-eun often checked out the community, even though she didn’t find it very interesting.
She also encouraged her managers and editors to check it out as often as possible.
Da-eun was someone who followed trends and sometimes even led trends.
[No. 1: Boss, did you see this???]
She was able to quickly respond to a sudden message from one of the editors who edited her videos.
[Journey: Yes?]
[Journey: What??]
[No. 1: (Link)]
When she frowned at the unknown message and asked, a link was sent instead of an explanation.
“... “It’s not phishing, is it?”
Isn’t the world so dangerous these days?
There are so many cases of impersonating family names, so why can’t they impersonate a messenger nickname?
[No. 3: Boss, don’t be fooled. When I clicked on that link, money was taken out of my account. ㄷㄷㄷ]
[No. 1: ???]
[No. 1: (ridiculous Con)]
[No. 1: Seriously;;;]
[No. 3: Scammer Cut!]
[No. 1: (Really ridiculous Con)]
My suspicions quickly subsided when I saw him arguing with another editor who had interrupted the conversation.
In fact, I hadn’t been that suspicious to begin with.
“What on earth do you want me to see?”
Since Da-eun had often sent links like this before, she clicked on the link with a light heart.
“... .”
Her calm face hardened until just before.
The link the editor sent led to a post on the community.
The article started with the introduction that she met the broadcaster, Journey.
Although she didn’t explicitly use the name Journey, the content was basically the same as what she had written.
As she skipped over the trivial details that she wasn’t particularly curious about, a picture caught her eye.
A dark night street.
Instead of the silent streetlights, a handful of moonlight shining through the clouds dimly illuminated the street.
In the picture, which at first glance was hard to tell what it was, two people were walking down a dark night street.
It wasn’t a video, but a still picture, so it lacked some liveliness, but it still somehow felt urgent.
Of the two people who were walking hurriedly, the smaller one turned his head, and under his hood, his pink eyes shone darkly and yo-yo in the moonlight.
‘That’s when.’
The moment she saw the picture, a memory of one day flashed through Da-eun’s mind.
A while ago, when she went out to eat with her parents and Kana.
Da-eun ran into a man on her way home.
You shouldn’t judge a person by their appearance, but I remembered that he looked awkward and had a creepy vibe, so I was wary.
That guy must have written this.
“When on earth did you take this?”
I didn’t even hear the shutter sound.
Da-eun thought that her intuition wasn’t completely wrong, since she had secretly taken the picture and even posted it on the community.
The content of the post didn’t end there.
She even mentioned her cousin, who she had asked not to mention, and uploaded a screenshot of a broadcast where Kana appeared for comparison.
Updat𝓮d from freewēbnoveℓ.com.
Da-eun had never expected everyone to listen to her, but she couldn’t have imagined that she would post it so confidently, so she was speechless for a moment.
‘Isn’t their size similar?’
It’s not just similar.
They’re the same person, so they have to be the same.
If Kana had grown a lot in those few days, then that would be different, but as far as Da-eun knew, Kana hadn’t grown at all for several weeks, let alone several days.
Not even 1mm.
‘A fully grown Kana. That would probably be pretty... but I can’t imagine it.’
“... Ah.”
Da-eun let out a short sigh as she stared intently at the photo.
She was momentarily distracted by the mention of her ‘relative’, but there was something more important underneath.
The pink pupils visible in the enlarged photo.
They looked dark because there was no bright light source, but to Da-eun, who knew the owner of those eyes, they looked unmistakably pink.
“Sunglasses, you weren’t wearing them... .”
Well, how many people wear sunglasses at night?
Da-eun recalled Kana grumbling about the discomfort while pushing up her sunglasses that were slipping down.
If I had known this would happen, I would have bought her sunglasses that fit her face perfectly... .
When going to Celia, Da-eun wore a mask, and since she rarely went outside on Earth, she regretted putting it off.
It was fortunate that her hair wasn’t exposed because she wore a hood over her hat.
“Hmm... .”
The rest of the content didn’t appeal to her either.
Contrary to the writer’s thoughts, the place where she saw the man was a bit far from her house, but if the man expanded his radius of activity, there was a possibility of meeting him.
“Huh... .”
Da-eun, who had a rather serious expression and looked at the comments, put down her phone.
There were some opinions that agreed with the article, but most of the comments were cursing the writer.
The writer’s response to that was quite extraordinary.
Even if you can tell from that photo alone that ‘the cousin’s younger sibling on the show = the girl in the photo’, it would be difficult to know that ‘the cousin’s younger sibling = Kana’.
There's a chance that it's a manipulated photo, there's no evidence that the person next to the girl is Journey, and it's hard to believe that an NPC in a game has popped out into reality.
"What should I do?"
Tok, Tok
Da-eun
Silver bit her thumbnail.
If she responded rashly, it would only instill confidence that the person in the photo was her.
However, the intentions revealed in the article were too impure to not respond at all.
If it was just the usual nonsense in the community, she could just ignore it, but Da-eun, who knew that the article was true, couldn’t ignore it.
While Da-eun was thinking hard, her phone rang.
[No. 1: Boss???]
[No. 1: What should I do?]
What happened? Is this true?
Editor No. 1 didn’t ask any such questions, but was asking Da-eun’s will.
It seemed that she brought it not because she was suspicious of the article, but because she wanted to ask, ‘What should I do with this article?’
Her upset heart calmed down a little when she saw the message calmly asking for her opinion.
[Journey: Wait a minute]
[Journey: I'm going to ask someone else, so don't respond for now]
[Journey: Managers, if anyone mentions related content when you turn on the broadcast later, please ban them immediately]
[No. 1: Okay, I understand]
[No. 3: Okay]
[Manager 1: I checked]
[No. 1: But who are you going to ask...?]
[Journey: Who is it?]
A cautiously asked message.
Da-eun answered it and made a phone call.
[Journey: Of course, a lawyer]
How should I handle it?
