{Kim Dokja POV}

    We followed Lee Jihye and entered Chungmuro. Yoo Sangah saw the shattered screen door of the platform and said.

“…It is a chaotic atmosphere.”

    As they climbed up from the tracks of railway line 3, they saw some people sitting down.

[You have entered Chungmuro.]

[The third scenario is currently in progress.]

[#BIR-3642 channel is active.]

    From Chungmuro onwards, the size of the scenario grew and the dokkaebi channels increased. From now on, that naive Bihyung would have a hard time.

    Now was the true beginning.

“I brought you here so take care from now on. I’m not a babysitter.”

    This child was speaking so indifferently.

    I looked around. Chungmuro. This was the stage of the third scenario, where completely different rules were in play.

“S-Shit! I’ll kill you if you come close…”

    A man was in the middle of the platform for subway line 3, waving a knife around and threatening people.

    At these feet was a tile that was 1 pyeong (3.306 m2) in size, emitting a green light that stretched into the air. Yoo Sangah asked, “…Why is he doing that?”

“I don’t know.”

    I could guess but there was no need to scare her just now. There were many people sitting down with a knife on subway line 3. Unlike the previous middle-aged men, their faces were filled with despair. I glanced at them and asked Lee Jihye.

“Is Yoo Jonghyuk here?”

    Lee Jihye, who was about to leave, turned her head at ‘Yoo Jonghyuk.’ There was vigilance in her eyes.

“…Who are you?”

    Yoo Jonghyuk had already ruined this child.

    Well, I could understand. It was difficult to find a constellation on the level of Maritime War God, even if he searched through all of South Korea. If I was in Yoo Jonghyuk’s position, I would’ve found her soon after coming to Chungmuro.

“I am a companion of Yoo Jonghyuk who came back alive.”

“…Companion? How is that possible?”

    Lee Jihye stared at me with suspicious eyes. I shrugged shamelessly.

“That guy will understand if you tell him. Where is Yoo Jonghyuk now?”

“…Master isn’t here right now.”

“Really? This is difficult. I have something I need to say.”

   Lee Jihye’s expression distorted as she stared at me with something like betrayal.

   Ah, I knew very well what she thought of Yoo Jonghyuk. Moreover, it was already Master…it will be difficult to gain her this way.

    Lee Jihye called out to a boy squatting in the corner.

“Hey, over there!”

“Eh? Yes, yes!”

“Watch over these people right here! I’m going to find Master.”

    The boy looked at us with puzzled eyes.
“…Who are they?”
