You Will Be Blessed If You Do Good Deeds¿-Chapter 216

The object of their search for the whole night finally appeared before their eyes, but no one had the courage to approach.

-Grrrrr... ... !

A huge black panther that could swallow a person whole was standing in a threatening posture with its teeth exposed.

A murderous and tense atmosphere filled the square as the huge beast appeared on the stage.

[T, run away!]

[Get out of the way, I’ll go first... ... Eww!]

One person who was trying to run away, pushing aside others in surprise, met eyes with the beast and collapsed on the spot.

In fact, most people froze without even thinking about running away.

It was as if the monster would start massacring them at any moment.

But then.

The girl sitting on the panther tapped Jeong Sohwa.

“Go down and let the outsiders go first. Politely.”

[... ... ]

Jeong So-hwa had a very disgusted expression, but after hearing the girl's words, she went down the platform and walked towards the outsiders who were tied up in the middle.

Jeong So-hwa's hands trembled as she freed the outsiders who were tied up with ropes.

[Damn bastard. You're worse than a dog!]

Then, the old man who had shouted at Jeong So-hwa, asking if he could die, spat as he approached.

[The years of thinking of you as my saviors are meaningless.]

The old man wasn't the only one hurling curses at Jeong So-hwa.

The outsiders who learned the truth all hurled curses at him.

[You said you ran away when we were looking for the missing people, but now you've killed all the ones who disappeared?]

[Murderer!]

[... ... Don't make me laugh.]

Jeong So-hwa said through gritted teeth.

[In this day and age, I welcomed outsiders like you as guests, fed you, and provided you with a place to sleep, but you didn’t even know that I was grateful... ...!]

[Don’t make me laugh. How is that any different from raising livestock? Are you trying to feed livestock that you’re going to eat and then ask them to thank you? I’m a human! I’m a human too!]

The old man kicked and cursed.

[If it was going to be like this, why didn’t you just not let me into this city in the first place? If I had known I’d be treated like livestock like this, I would have just died!]

Jeong So-hwa opened her mouth because she had a lot to say, but she eventually closed her mouth after being aware of the gazes she felt from the stage.

However, she was still gritting her teeth inside.

‘You’re telling me to release the outsiders, are you trying to insult me?’

Surely that devilish woman didn’t really release those outsiders because she was worried about them, so maybe she just wanted to see me suffer.

That was all she could think.

However, the current Jeong So-hwa was in a position where she could not refuse Jeong Da-on’s order.

‘But there is still a chance.’

She gave in to the pain and had no choice but to reveal the things she had done so far.

Of course, her fatal weakness was exposed.

Jeong So-hwa and the other administrators would not be able to avoid being questioned about this.

In addition, Master Hyeon-am would also be distrusted by the people in the future.

However... ... .

‘That is something that can only be done if you survive.’

If this many dungeon breaks had occurred, it would be a different story.

Jeong So-hwa’s eyes sparkled as she looked at the horde of monsters on the large screen.

‘Even if she revealed it, how many of the people here would survive?’

Even if someone survived and questioned her about this, they would later calculate it sufficiently and keep quiet.

In the end, the only people who could protect the city in this crisis situation were... Master Hyeon-am and them.

People will eventually understand his choice!

‘Just somehow join Master Hyeonam.’

It wasn’t a completely unfounded confidence.

That’s right, because up until now, Jeong So-hwa had been suspecting that Master Hyeonam had changed his orders on Mt. Guho.

Because a few weeks ago, Master Hyeonam had said that he had something he absolutely had to do and had driven everyone away to a mountain tomb.

- If an outsider shows up, be careful of his cunning tongue.

He left behind only those words.

In fact, it was because Master Hyeonam was absent that things had gotten so bad.

‘Instead of dragging him along under the pretext of Master Hyeonam’s orders, I should have really asked Master Hyeonam for advice.’

That regret grew even stronger after seeing Mt. Guho collapse.

However, when listening to what the people gathered in the square were saying, didn’t Master Hyeonam appear in front of them and give them the order to capture the outsider?

Hope swelled in Jeong So-hwa’s heart.

‘If Master Hyeon-am is alive, there’s a chance!’

They had come to a plaza with so many people.

If they could just use the already frightened people well, they might be able to create chaos and escape.

If they could just join Master Hyeon-am, there would definitely be a way to survive.

Jeong So-hwa quickly looked around, wondering if she could somehow find familiar people and send them a signal.

“I can see you thinking.”

Jeong So-hwa’s shoulders flinched at the voice from the stage.

Of course, the one who said that was the girl sitting on the black panther.

[What am I... ....]

“There’s no time to waste time. The formation will be breached soon.”

As she said that, the girl looked at the large screen.

The threatening scene was still unfolding on the large screen.

The endlessly growing monsters.

“It’s a well-made formation, but it’s useless against this number of monsters. Those guys could easily break through with their instincts alone. If this continues, we’ll all die.”

[Shut up!]

Jeong So-hwa finally couldn’t hold it in and shouted again.

[It’s all your fault. If you, if you hadn’t come to this city, this wouldn’t have happened!]

The anger boiling inside her dominated her head.

Yes, if only that woman hadn’t come to this city.

She wouldn’t have been subjected to such humiliation.

And the dungeon break wouldn’t have happened.

[And the formation is broken? Don’t make me laugh, Mr. Hyun-am will protect our city. What do you know... ... !]

“Oh, really?”

The woman who had been staring at the large screen smiled brightly.

“Do you think that Mr. Hyunam will protect you even after this?”

It was an ominous laugh.

For a moment, Jeong So-hwa felt goosebumps.

[What the heck... ... .]

“I’ll know when I see it. Oh, it’s right there.”

It was a disgusting voice.

While thinking that, Jeong So-hwa... ... looked at the place the girl on the stage was pointing at.

“Does this look familiar to you?”

And, just as the girl said, Jeong So-hwa recognized the person reflected on the other side of the screen.

She couldn’t help but recognize him.

Jeong So-hwa gaped blankly.

[That... ... That... ... .]

The video being broadcasted on this large screen was a surveillance camera installed to check the situation outside the city.

If you are reading this translation anywhere other than Novelight.net or SilkRoadTL, it has been stolen.

And this camera was also installed on the path that opened once every six months, allowing access to other cities without getting lost within the city limits.

In other words, it was the opening of the formation.

That is why the camera installed in this opening was also the most important thing for the managers, including Jeong So-hwa, to manage.

If a zombie released inside the formation were to enter the passage, it would be a big problem, so they had to always monitor it through the camera.

However, in the video that was currently shining on that road... ... .

[That, that... ... isn’t that Mr. Hyun-am?]

[It seems right... ... .]

[Oh my. Really... ... ?]

Mr. Hyun-am was seen walking down the road in a hurry.

Of course, since it was a surveillance camera video, their faces were not clearly visible, but those with sharp eyes noticed that Mr. Hyun-am’s clothes were exactly the same as when he gave a long speech in the square a few /N_o_v_e_l_i_g_h_t/ hours ago.

And then, one thought occurred to everyone.

[... ... No way, are you running away?]

The one who blurted out those words without realizing it covered his mouth in surprise and looked around.

Considering the authority of Master Hyeonam, he knew how he would be treated if he said something like that.

However, this time, there was no need.

[Where on earth... ... are you going? In this situation!]

[That’s ridiculous. What on earth is Master Hyeonam thinking?]

Because everyone else was thinking the same thing.

“Of course he’d run away.”

And then, the girl on the stage put a stop to everyone’s guesses.

At those firm words, everyone stared blankly at the girl.

“Think about it too. Master Hyeonam said that the outsider was the cause of this situation, so bring him in. But why isn’t the person who gave that order here?”

The people looked at each other.

Now that I think about it... ... That really was true.

Since Master Hyeonam ordered to bring in outsiders, people searched the city like they were hunting lice.

However, when they returned to the square with the outsiders, Master Hyeonam was nowhere to be seen.

[This... ... Could it be, could it be... ... .]

[Are you really abandoning us and running away?]

Furthermore, the shocking truth that was just revealed by Master Hyeonam’s disciple, Jeong Sohwa.

Before the afterglow of that truth could even fade, everyone witnessed Master Hyeonam leaving the city.

[No, no, we have to catch that guy!]

Someone ran up to the stage and cried.

The ripened distrust burst like a balloon.

[I have to ask what happened to my husband!]

A woman who said that her husband had left for another city for treatment and had not returned yet.

[My child is so sick, and you are running away like that without taking responsibility for it?!]

[My mother was also taken to the hospital and her remains were not returned, so how could it be... ... .]

In addition, various people who were harmed by Mr. Hyunam spoke up one after another.

People were instantly confused.

It was natural.

The truth we had believed until now was all, It was overturned.

The believers faithfully followed the word of God, so why did they not receive compensation?

There was only one answer.

A cruel voice pronounced a sentence on them.

“He is not a sage.”

The very foundation of their belief was wrong from the beginning.

“Hyun-am Seon-saeng only used you for his own purpose.”

[Purpose... ... .]

“Look at that.”

As she said that, the girl pointed to one side of the screen.

The people now looked at the screen with almost fearful eyes.

Hyun-am Seon-saeng, who was about to leave the formation, was captured by another camera.

It was the camera installed at the outermost part of the gates that monitored the path of the formation.

Now, if he leaves the area that that camera covers, Hyun-am Seon-saeng will truly say goodbye to this city.

The moment people were about to criticize or despair without realizing it... ... .

[What is that?]

[Is it a zombie... ... ?]

[No, no! It looks like a person?]

In Mr. Hyunam’s hands, which had disappeared from the screen for a moment, a human body, limp and hanging from the ground, was dangling from somewhere.

Like an object.

And then... ... .

[Ugh, ughhhhh!]

[Oh, I killed him! I killed him!]

[Oh my!]

A human body with its limbs torn off by Mr. Hyunam’s hands was clearly visible.

People screamed in shock, but the shock didn’t end there.

Whaaaak!

The screen suddenly became filled with light.

When the screen that had turned white returned to normal, the last thing people saw was a monster squeezing its body into a gap in the air.

Crack!

And that was also the last thing the camera captured.

The monster that ran towards me seemed to have broken the camera.

The screen was filled with gray noise.

“Who do you think caused the dungeon break surrounding this city?”

And then, a voice that revealed the cruel truth fell over the heads of the people who were shocked and silent.

The girl stared at the people with a truly devilish expression and said.

“It is Mr. Hyunam who destroyed your city.”

[A ridiculous fake... ... bang!]

I noticed a human who was about to refute with a sharp voice while crossing his arms and winked.

The person who received my wink sighed.

-You are taking advantage of people too much.

That is what I want to say, but I can’t help it.

Han Jae-young, who was using ‘Cheonbyeon Manhwa’ to disguise himself as an ordinary person, quietly walked behind the person who was trying to nitpick my words and covered his mouth.

I wonder if this should be considered 10% of his power, not 1%.

‘It was definitely useful.’

I nodded while looking at the large screen behind me.

Now, Mr. Hyunam had completely disappeared from the camera.

Of course.

‘It’s a fake video, you know.’

The moment I realized that the dungeon break had been triggered.

I decided that Mr. Hyunam was not currently in this city.

‘If he had triggered the dungeon break with the soul core, he would have had to do it himself.’

There was no way that Orbis would have given this information to a normal human.

So I had to take advantage of the gap when Mr. Hyunam was out of the city.

First, I had to completely destroy Mr. Hyunam’s trust.

And here, I needed Han Jaeyoung’s help the most.

So I immediately reached outside the formation and told Han Jaeyoung, who was able to use magic, about the formation’s opening that I had found out through the administrators, and the location of the camera.

That’s how I made a video that looked like Mr. Hyunam was destroying the dungeon using illusion magic and made it play in time.

‘If you look closely later, you’ll realize it’s not Mr. Hyunam... ... but I broke the camera before that.’

People were so excited that they didn’t notice, so I could only guess what Nana Han Jae-young or Mr. Hyunam really looked like, so it felt like it was roughly made up.

‘I made it exciting in the first place, though.’

If you just know the opening of the formation, Han Jae-young’s return speed will be very fast.

There’s no need to burn gold.

Thanks to that, Han Jae-young quickly returned to the city, and I disguised Han Jae-young as Mr. Hyunam and made him give a speech to the people saying that I was the cause.

It’s easy to incite people if you make them extremely excited.

[Then, what should we do... ... What should we do?]

[You really are a sage, right? Please help me!]

[Please! We have no power, and if things continue like this... ... .]

And, up to this point, it went as I expected.

‘Since we’ve incited this much, even Mr. Hyun-am won’t be able to turn public opinion around right away.’

I looked down at the people who were clinging to me, begging for my life, without any shame.

Well, honestly, I really want to tell you that whatever happens to you here is none of my business... ... .

-Quest in progress.

“... ... If you want to live, run to the shelter right now and tell them this. And... ... .”

I smiled, the corners of my mouth raised.

“Wait until I save this city.”

Now the preparatory work is over.

It’s finally time to go and destroy Mr. Hyun-am himself.
