Only I Am a Necromancer-Chapter 479: Last System Error (5)
It was Chen who discovered the facility first. He shouted something, but nobody could understand him because the system was off, making the automatic translation function useless.
"Necromancer! This way!"
Fortunately, someone next to him, who could speak Chinese, interpreted it.
"Here is a way leading down to the basement."
When Sungwoo scraped off the thick leaves, a white metal door was installed on the floor. He seemed to open it easily because it had a lever.
Clang!
When the door opened, cold air gushed out.
"This is that facility, isn't it?"
Sungwoo nodded at Hanho's question.
"Hanho, fire a flare!"
Kyungsoo brought some flares, so when he found the facility in question, he was supposed to fire a flare to notify others.
Bang!
A red flare went off in the air.
"Let's go down first."
Sungwoo's group climbed the ladder to go down to the basement. Then the lights in the underground facility started to turn on. It looked like there was a sensor.
'Sensor? If so, this may not be an unmanned facility. There might be someone down here.'
Maybe the GM was here.
"Be careful. Even my senses are not functioning properly."
As Jisoo said, virtually all her stats were initialized. In other words, she was just a typical ordinary woman.
'Right now all of us here might be annihilated by only one ogre-like creature.'
She went through lots of fighting experiences until now, but as things stood now, she felt she could not confront a large monster that beat back her sword attack.
Of course, unless the system worked, such unrealistic monsters could not exist either.
Tramp- Tramp-
Sungwoo walked down the white hallway, and 20 people followed him.
Tramp- Tramp-
Amid the silence, Sungwoo's party arrived at the door at the end of the hallway.
When Sungwoo gently held out his hand, the door opened on its own as if it had an automatic sensor.
"Is this office?"
The inside of the office was somewhat familiar to him.
"What is this place?"
It reminded him of an office.
It had a rather heterogeneous interior that he had never seen anywhere else in the world, but he could immediately feel what kind of space this place was used for.
A desk and a chair, a cup and a monitor, etc. It was clear that this was a working space where somebody like a human could work.
At that moment Hanho asked, "Sungwoo, isn't this a keyboard?"
Hanho picked something up. Something like a keyboard was arranged on the transparent display. It looked like a technology that was several times ahead of modern technology, but it was a keyboard.
"Ugh? English keyboard layout? Could this be interpreted automatically?"
What appeared on the display was none other than the 'alphabet'.
'Automatic interpretation? No way.'
Sungwoo lifted the cup that was on the desk. Something inscribed in English was engraved on its handle. It was strange.
Since the system was off, wasn't the language interpretation function turned off?
'What the heck is this?'
What he was seeing now was not just artificial, but extremely human.
At that moment, Hanho pressed a button on that 'keyboard'-like object and something soared from the center between him and the room.
"What! Is that?"
Sungwoo's party was terrified and turned back.
"Huh? Earth?"
It was a globe, or more precisely, a hologram in the shape of a globe. And the countless letters that floated on it were all in English. It seemed that countries were being counted in real-time by continent and country, and that number was an item called 'viewer'.
Viewer?
"Does this indicate the viewers of an official channel broadcast?" Jisu asked.
But then she shook her head. Then she lifted her finger and pointed to one side of the hologram, namely the continent of Australia.
"The number is too big for that. It's a hundred million here, and one billion here...Right now we don't have such a huge number of people."
Then Sungwoo pointed to another place.
- ON AIR : WORLD 34
"They are watching this. 34th Earth, so the game…"
At that moment, Jisu pulled Sungwoo's arms. He fell to the floor with her and rolled behind the desk.
Something passed through the place where they were standing, pierced the hologram, and crashed into the wall behind them. A hole was punched in the wall.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
After that, several beams of light flew in, and one of Sungwoo's party grabbed his chest and fell. He was Chen's colleague.
"Argh!"
His chest was burning as if it was struck by fire magic.
"Run away!"
Everyone hid all over the office.
'There must be somebody here.'
Sungwoo raised the crowbar after turning his head to the place where somebody was hiding.
"Man, I couldn't understand why the system went down all of a sudden. Haha, this is my first time experiencing it?"
The inside door was open, and someone walked out of it.
They were dressed in unusual clothes that seemed to be made of aluminum.
They were humans. Seven people were holding something.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
It was a laser-fired gun.
"You must be the Necromancer? Right?" asked a man in the middle. "How come you have come as far as here? I didn't even know you guys came here because the system was completely down. This would be impossible without an insider's help."
"It seems that there is a crazy guy among us, given that these guys chose the time when most of our staff were transported to another world."
He chuckled as if it was funny.
'Do you speak Korean? No, it's not Korean.'
His mouth and voice did not match. Perhaps he was speaking English, but it seemed that what he spoke was being translated into Korean.
"Who are you?" Sungwoo asked, hiding behind the desk.
The man sneered at him, then answered, "We are the GM of the 32nd world where you live. This means we're your master."
They approached Sungwoo's party slowly. Since they lost their capabilities, and the only weapons they had were some tools including the crossbar, Sungwoo's party could not deal with them properly.
"What did you say? 32nd world? Does it mean that you guys were involved in committing this kind of heinous thing 32 times?"
"That's right. We've already developed the 36th world, and by the end of the year, we're going to make the 41st world."
He approached Sungwoo, boasting like that.
"Oh, if you had become a 'World Eater', I would have drawn up the best scenario in which you would invade the 33rd world. What a pity you didn't do so! People like it the most because it's corrupt."
At that moment Jiu was about to charge at the guy, holding a dagger upside down. Sungwoo also leaned to the right, tightening his feet.
"Who are you?" Sungwoo asked.
"Can't you see who I am?" He spread his arms."I'm a human of the 0th Earth."
Human?
He was not an absolute being like God, nor a race from outer space, but a different kind of human?
Hanho shouted at the top of his voice, "Are you kidding me? How can humans commit crimes like this? You must be an alien, right?"
But the guys burst out laughing.
"Hey, how come you and we are the same humans? How impudent you are!"
"We can be the creatures that will be you in the distant future. Of course, we deleted that future."
Sungwoo made eye contact with Jisu. They were ready to jump out of this place at the right time. But could they avoid that beam when they had no power at all?
without any powers? They felt it's hard.
"Well, I was honestly surprised that you guys came as far as here. I would say this is an ending more exhilarating than any other 'program' I've planned and broadcast so far."
Clang!
