14 – Nightfall – Hidden Route (2)

As the game begins in earnest, Eugene realizes that she has become Hunter’s body once again.

“Ugh, hmm… “

After a while, Hunter’s body groaned and raised his upper body.

“This is… “

When he woke up, Hunter was lying in a place he knew nothing about.

This was a cabin.

It’s also a cute cabin full of cute feelings, as if it came right out of a children’s book.

“Are you awake, Hunter?”

But it was then.

A soft voice came from behind Hunter’s back.

When he turned his head, a woman in a gothic dress with her silver hair and red eyes was looking at him.

As for the other characteristics, it is that the woman’s face is breathtakingly beautiful.

It’s so beautiful that it makes me wonder if the face was artificially sculpted by someone other than a human being.

– The puppet sister is here!!!

– Nightfall Jin heroine puppet sister appeared

– Look at her crazy beauty

When she appeared, viewers were busy cheering her and praising her sculptural appearance.

“… You?”

“I am a puppet. The first hunter, an artificial human who serves Ariandel, and a being who takes care of you in paradise… Should I say it was?”

“It was, you say? Why are you talking that way?”

Hunter frowns at the puppet, who blurts out his words in the past tense.

If that’s the case, then what is the reason for saying ‘was’ in the past tense?

“Honorable Hunter. Because you killed my master, the first hunter, Ariandel, I was also stripped of my role in ‘Paradise’.”

“… The role you were playing has been stripped away?”

“Yes. Originally, I am like a water bubble that can only live in ‘Paradise’. It was in charge of guiding the way you should go and strengthening your strength. Normally, I would have just watched your journey until you hunted all the beasts of Arkham. As it is, that is.”

It was an esoteric word, but Hunter, who had considerable knowledge in this area, soon understood the puppet’s words and nodded his head.

“I see. Does that mean that since I killed Ariandel, you can no longer be of my help?”

“A puppet is a being who is subordinate to and devoted to the master… A puppet without an owner is nothing more than a worthless object. So now I can’t be of any help to you. I am truly sorry, great Hunter… “

As if the puppet was genuinely depressed, he sat down on the chair in front of Hunter and sighed.

And there, Eugene was able to regain control of his body.

The forced event cutscene had ended.

– Cheek hahahahaha I’ve played up to the 3rd Nightfall, but I’ve never seen an event cutscene like this hahahahaha

– Now that I see it, all the events have been prepared since I caught Ariandel in the tutorial hahahaha

– No, was catching Ariandel in the tutorial possible for other human beings besides the Sword Master?

– Nightfall Hidden Route

– ㄴ It’s kind of funny when you express it that way hahahahaha

As viewers poured out various speculative comments over the cutscene of the event they just watched, Winter applauded as if trying to evoke the atmosphere.

“As expected, it seems clear that Powell Software prepared a hidden route. From the tutorial to the lines and dedicated cutscenes that can only be heard assuming you killed Ariandel. No matter how you look at it, it seems like you put a lot of effort into it to be a simple Easter egg. This seems to be a hidden route imprint, don’t you guys think so too?”

– ㅇㅇ That’s what I mean

– Looking at the meaningful lines of Nunna the puppet, I think there is something. Do you know anything about it??

– Hey Winter, you said you turned on the game and prepared for the hidden route… How should I proceed?

“That… To be honest, I don’t know either. I just said that I had been preparing in advance, but in fact, I quit the game after watching this cutscene. It seems like it is against the law for me to enjoy the hidden route in advance by myself. Even more so if I didn’t come all the way here on my own.”

Winter’s words were true to some extent.

Except for the fact that the hidden route was not opened for the fun of viewers.

The only reason she didn’t proceed with the hidden route was because she couldn’t figure out how the hell she could open the hidden route.

– What does Winter care about ㅠㅠ Did he actually think of us that way???

– Godter! Gotter! Gotter! Gotter! Gotter!

– Winter Jwa, who suppressed his curiosity to the end in order to communicate with viewers at eye level… Thank you…

Meanwhile, viewers who didn’t know what was going on were busy cheering for Winter.

“From here on out, I don’t know anything like the viewers. So why don’t we all think about how we can enter the hidden route?”

– Collective Intelligence ON

– If we add up all of our IQs, it will exceed 10,000, so the answer will come soon.

– ㄴ Humans were actually connected by color hahahahaha

“Does anyone have a good opinion? Anything is good, so please tell me your opinion first. I will never get mad at you for saying strange things.”

– You’re saying that you’re not angry, but your face shows that you won’t let go if you say bullsh*t.

– ??? : Brother! Am i weird today? (From my point of view, I don’t really like the way I look today, but in my brother’s eyes, I will give a logical answer in 500 words or less)

– B Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

– ㄴ PTSD ON

– ㄴ What kind of PTSD came on the subject of not having a girlfriend hahahahaha

The majority of viewers were busy teasing winter with comments, but surprisingly, there were also a few viewers who sincerely reasoned.

– How about exploring the cabin and looking for anything that looks suspicious? For example, something like “Screaming doll”

“A doll that screams? Ah, the key item when proceeding with the route of hunting Bishop Lucis? Actually, I tried to do that too, but I couldn’t find the doll. It seems that the doll is not in the hut in the hidden route.”

– Or how about getting out of the cabin and moving to a specific location? If you walk around the city, a forced event might appear.

“But this is inside ‘Hunter’s Paradise’. Originally, Ariandel was in charge of entering and exiting Paradise, but I couldn’t find a way to get out on my own.”

Around the time when Winter and the viewers were discussing how to proceed with the game, Eugene, who had been observing the situation until then, blinked her eyes.

It is well known that Winter is currently discussing with them to find out how to open the hidden route so as not to make viewers feel stuffy.

And that’s why I couldn’t understand the current situation even more.

‘Why is he trying to complicate the game like that?’

Of course, it is true that Winter is far ahead of Eugene, if only based on his experience playing virtual reality games.

Winter or viewers who are watching this broadcast, there are quite a lot of things piled up in this area, so if you leave it alone like that, someday you will find a way to proceed with Hidden Rour.

However, in Eugene’s view, it was nothing more than an extremely inefficient act.

‘From the beginning, it’s clearly showing what the correct answer to this situation is.’

Eugene is not as knowledgeable about virtual reality games as Winter and other viewers are, but he still has 20 years of experience as a warrior.

If you look closely, isn’t there a big difference between listening to and solving the problems of countless people as a hero, or receiving a quest in a virtual reality game and playing the game?

Turb.

Having made that decision, Eugene got up from his seat and approached the puppet who was sitting in a chair.

– Huh?

– Somajwa What the hell are you doing right now?

Even though viewers expressed their surprise at Eugene’s sudden action, he didn’t care and opened his mouth to the puppet.

“Hey, did I say your name was Puppet? A puppet that served Ariandel in the past, right?”

“Yes, it is. Hunter.”

“And you said there was nothing you could do for me because Ariandel died and your role in ‘paradise’ was taken away.”

“Yes.”

“Ariandel, your master, died by my hand. He wanted to kill me, so I had no choice but to kill him too. Then am I the enemy of your master?”

At Eugene’s words, the puppet stared blankly at him and then shook his head left and right.

“That is not so, great hunter. Certainly, Ariandel was my master, but at the same time he was the first Hunter to forget his duty. Even though he was a hunter who had to hunt animals, he was nothing more than an immoral man who accepted the power of the ruler.”

“But from what you say, it seems that you also helped Ariandel in ‘Paradise’.”

“As long as Ariandel lived, he was my master. But the reason he created me in the first place was to hunt down all the beasts in this city and eliminate the source of the nightmare. So now that he is dead, I can be faithful to the purpose for which I was created.”

At the puppet’s answer, Eugene snorted.

“Even though you have regained your freedom, are you using the excuse that you are just a puppet and can never make your own decisions and move?”

“…..”

“Before Ariandel died, he said: I ask that you end the nightmare of Arkham and punish the culprit of the nightmare. But you, who were serving Ariandel, are just sighing and saying you can’t do anything for me.”

“That, that… “

“I will get out of here. And as Ariandel asked, I will hunt down all the beasts in the city and put an end to this nightmare. While you’re sitting here saying you can’t do anything.”

“Huh, Hunter… “

“Then I will go. I don’t think there’s much point in talking to you anyway.”

From noble mtl dot com

So Eugene got up from her seat and started walking towards the door.

While ignoring the puppet’s look at her for something pitiful.

Jumping.

And as if he had no regrets anymore, the very moment Eugene grabbed the doorknob and tried to turn him aside.

“Now, wait a minute! Hunter!”

‘It was caught.’

Eugene smiled on the inside, but turned his body backwards, maintaining a cold expression on the outside.

“What is it? Do you still have something to say to me?”

“Hunter is right. My mission is to defeat all beasts and end the nightmare that surrounds this city. But I was told to evade my duty by using the excuse that my master had died… “

After saying that, the puppet gets up from the chair and kneels down in front of Eugene.

“My essence is an artificial human made by human hands. To dedicate one’s body to someone and to be of help to him.”

In that state, the puppet holds Yujin’s hand tightly. As if his hands were his only rope.

“Ah, that’s why I beg you. Hunter, please be the second owner of this useless marionette. And please guide me, who was abandoned by my master, to the right future… “

With that, the puppet kissed the back of his hand.

And the next moment.
