Chapter 75: The Place Eyes Can’t See, the Heart Will Guide You

At the end of the call, Park Bu Seong still didn’t forget to make a grand statement, slapping a heavy title onto Beom In.

He didn’t know what kind of pressure Beom In was facing, nor did he care whether Beom In lived or died. He was simply happy that “Sin” had been stalled.

The Game had a total of seven levels, seven Horror Mysteries, and only twenty-four hours.

That time limit was actually quite tight.

As long as any one level held them up—combined with the teammate action restriction he’d added to Lu Ce’s side—time would pass very quickly.

Besides, at the moment, he genuinely couldn’t think of any way Lu Ce could crack Beom In’s ability.

It was a skill that perfectly matched the gymnasium Horror Mystery. Maybe it couldn’t do anything to Sin, but just stalling him for time could be enough to kill him.

In his original plan, this stage was meant to stall for the longest time. He didn’t expect Sin to make it here already on the second level...

“Beom In... you better not be that useless...”

It was true—after adequate preparation, his ability was practically invincible on home turf!

His entire strength lay in his skill, a Wrath-tier ability—Psychic Clone.

Beom In could manifest psychic clones. These required time to prepare, and couldn’t stray too far from the original body—no more than a hundred meters.

The clones couldn’t really attack. They just made people feel depressed and fearful when approached, though Beom In didn’t know why this had zero effect on “Sin.”

It sounded like a pretty underwhelming ability, but—so long as the range stayed within a hundred meters—Beom In could instantly switch between his clones and his real body at any time!

His real body was also hidden, breath concealed and fully invisible—basically untraceable.

This kind of ability wasn’t offensive at all. At his current “Spirit” level, Beom In couldn’t even freely control his clones. But in the setting of this Horror Mystery at the gym, it had become a perfect tool for stalling!

Beom In had always believed that as long as he had enough time to prepare, not even the number one in the world could do anything to him!

And now, it was time to put that belief to the test...

Only when facing Lu Ce in person did he truly feel that oppressive presence—that inexplicable aura of dread and fear that completely kept him from getting close.

And besides... he was dodging bullets here.

Every time Lu Ce raised his hand, Beom In instantly switched with a clone in the blind spot of the muzzle. Though he hadn’t messed up yet, the mental pressure was intense.

More importantly, to this moment he still couldn’t figure out—how the h*ll had “Sin” figured out the location of his real body?

Was this world’s number one just too versatile?

But from the outside, Lu Ce had just looked like he was shooting at empty air—completely pointless.

Add in his usual reckless, brute-force way of clearing stages, and most people figured he was just randomly firing at ghosts.

Besides Beom In hidden in the air, no one could understand just how twisted Lu Ce’s actions really were—or how pinpoint-accurate every shot had been.

【: Maybe go check another area first? Spraying bullets at the gym out of frustration won’t do anything.】

【: “Sin” doesn’t seem to be in the right state for solving puzzles... maybe Blank should take a look, move to the next scene.】

【: 24 hours isn’t much... don’t lose to the Koreans, seriously.】

The viewers started tossing out suggestions. Of course, they were just saying whatever—they all knew that “Sin” never listened to what the audience said.

Suddenly, after staying still for a while, Lu Ce raised his gun again—aimed directly at the spot where Beom In’s real body was.

Beom In: !

The moment Lu Ce lifted his arm, alarm bells exploded in Beom In’s head. He swapped instantly—appearing behind Lu Ce.

Tug-of-warring with this bigshot was no joke. One mistake could mean death... Rumor had it this guy killed without blinking. There was even talk that he ate someone in one instance...

Scared.

But then Beom In realized something was off—his pupils shrank in an instant.

—The gun didn’t fire!

This time, Lu Ce raised his hand just to test how Beom In was dodging.

A subtle, knowing smile slowly spread across the pale green mask ƪ(˘⌣˘)ʃ.

So... you’re not dodging bullets...

You’re watching my hand movements?

With that thought, Lu Ce relaxed his hand. The Hell Roar dropped to the ground and disappeared into his backpack.

He tapped his earpiece and said:

“You go ahead. Check out the other areas.”

Xie Antong: ?

“You sure?”

Seeing Lu Ce nod, the metal sphere in the air spun twice and decisively flew off.

Xie Antong knew—once Sin had made up his mind, her presence here probably wouldn’t matter anyway.

Soon, the empty gym was left with only Lu Ce standing silently at the center.

Slowly, beneath the mask, his eyes gently closed. The noisy sounds in his ears were ignored, as he fully immersed himself in his beast-like senses.

Since the gym was empty anyway, he might as well close his eyes.

Sometimes, in places your eyes can’t see—your heart will guide you.

“You tell me—what’s faster? The gun, or me?”

His voice wasn’t loud, but the moment he spoke, it cut through all the noise of the gym—like a tiger’s roar in a forest overpowering all the birds and beasts—clearly reaching Beom In’s ears.

Beom In was momentarily stunned, unsure who the words were even directed at.

How could a person be faster than a gun, faster than a bullet?

But the next second, every hair on his body stood on end—a human figure suddenly loomed large in his vision, and the feeling of death engulfed him.

Swap!!!

Boom!

The next moment, a thunderous roar erupted—Lu Ce’s raised right leg came crashing down like a mountain-splitting axe.

With that deafening impact, the floor of the badminton court caved in, and massive cracks quickly spread through the gym.

Beom In, standing farther away, looked ahead, shaken to the core.

He understood now—he understood why Lu Ce had put the gun away. Because he didn’t even need to lift his hand—he could look forward, and still charge backward.

Not as fast as a bullet, but far more unpredictable.

Except... how the h*ll was that even possible?! How could a human move like this?!

Beom In had never seen anyone like this. Even if the guy was number one in the world, he never imagined someone’s body could literally become a killing machine—what were his tendons made of, rebar?!

But there was no time left to be shocked. He hadn’t even caught his breath before that terrifying rush of air swept over him again. That terrifying Wrath Mask, filled with the aura of death, once again lunged toward him.

Beom In had only one thought left in his mind:

—Looks like I can’t stall him after all!
