Pick Me Up, Infinite Gacha

# 56

56. Reporting Ceremony (2)

[Collect to the 1st party plaza!]

Issel’s cry rang out.

I got up from my seat. On the desk in the room, materials on Pick Me Up were scattered. I gathered my materials and put them in a drawer under my desk and locked it.

When I came out to the square, four people had gathered.

Even Edith, a temporary member of Jenna Aaron Iolka.

In the space-time gap, the 3 parties that had just finished fighting were coming out. It was a preliminary party decorated with first-star prospects. However, three or two people who came out were nowhere to be seen. The three walked past us with emotionless faces like plaster statues.

“Is it the 11th floor today?”

Men Jenna asked with a short bow on her back.

“It must be the twelfth floor.”

The 11th floor was exhausting.

The experience point efficiency also fell, and now it was time to increase the level. Amkena would know.

[Open the space-time gap!]

Knocked up.

The door in front of the plaza opened.

The three of them entered, and as they were about to enter, Edith grabbed her by the collar and whispered.

“Is it okay if I don’t talk?”

“What do you mean?”

“It’s about fighting people.”

“I’m not a child. You don’t have to tell me one by one.”

I answered and went inside.

Finally, Edith sighed and entered. After a while, the door closed.

As the mirror on the left shone, a message came to mind.

[The current number of challenging floors in the main dungeon is 12.]

[The door will open in 10 seconds. Get ready!]

Edith said in a low voice.

“No matter what happens, just do what you have to do.”

“I know even if you don’t say anything.”

“Even more so if you know.”

Jenna blinked with a questioning expression.

Aaron turned to Edith.

“Are the monsters on the 12th floor that strong?”

“It’s not strong. You’ll know when you see it.”

Edith’s eyes went cold.

sereung.

I drew my sword.

The sound of the blade scraping the scabbard tickled my ears.

The longsword caught the light and gave off an eerie glow.

I don’t know what number of teleports.

When the light that covered my eyes disappeared, I was standing in an unfamiliar place.

[Floor 12.]

[Mission Type – Subjugation]

[Goal – Exterminate the enemy!]

The field is an urban area.

Stone walls and buildings line the side of the brick-paved street.

But the streets are empty. Unknown fallen leaves were blown away by the wind.

“It’s a subjugation. Where is the enemy!”

Jenna put an arrow through the protest.

Confident eyes. It is the effect of research on hero reactivity. Now other heroes can see the mission objective displayed as a system message.

[Human Soldier Lv.11 X 13]

“So… a human soldier?”

Jenna tilted her head.

“Who are you!”

A man’s voice was heard from the other side.

I set my eyes on it.

Across the street, seven armed soldiers are looking this way. Wearing chain mail and helmets, they pointed their spears at us.

‘They can see us.’

Unlike NPCs.

then enemy. I pulled out my shield.

Aaron interjected.

“Brother. They are not monsters. They are people.”

“Are you not going to fight?”

“I think we should talk about it first.”

I looked back.

The faces of the three had warm colors.

Iolka, who had been stiff, regained her senses and said,

“I agree. You can get information about this place. You can go without a fight.”

“Aren’t you fighting?”

“Because I don’t want to do unnecessary killing either.”

“you?”

“Aha, what am I…”

Jenna scratched her head.

Edith stays away from us. He closed his eyes as if he didn’t care.

“Brother…”

Aaron’s eyes were shaking.

‘I have no intention of fighting.’

You can force them to listen, but it’s not a good way if you think about the future.

It just seemed like it needed to be shown.

“Do it.”

“Thank you. I’ll have a chat.”

Aaron went down the street.

Aaron called out as we reached the halfway point of the road.

“My name is Aaron. I want to talk to you guys!”

Aaron stopped on the main street.

A man who seemed to be the captain stepped forward.

“It’s the same with us! We were dragged to a strange place out of nowhere.”

“How do you mean?”

“It’s too complicated to sort out. Why don’t you come a little closer? Don’t worry, I mean no harm. We just want to go back. We can’t get out because of a strange wall.”

“Then I will go.”

“Put down your weapons and come. My colleagues are very wary.”

Aaron hesitated and put the spear down.

I said.

“Stop.”

“yes?”

“Hogu? Do everything you ask.”

I smiled and left.

“Come, you guys. Lay down your weapons. We’re also very wary.”

“That’s troublesome!”

“Is it okay for us to drop our weapons, and not okay for you to drop them?”

As I grinned, the captain’s expression hardened visibly.

The captain nodded after talking face to face with the soldiers next to him.

“Okay. Three of us will go instead.”

“However much.”

The captain and two of his men put their weapons on the ground and approached us.

“Brother, do you want to talk?”

If communication is possible, there is something I want to ask.

There was still a lot of information to be obtained. How did they come to the stage and how were they judged as monsters? what else do you know

‘If that’s possible.’

clap. clap. clap.

The joints of the armor made a grinding sound whenever the soldier walked.

The captain stopped at a distance of 3m. Then he spread both hands and said.

“As you can see, we’re unarmed. I’d like you guys to do the same.”

Ding Gang!

My shield tumbled to the floor of the main street.

After that, he threw the sword at his feet.

“Is it okay?”

“Okay. I can talk properly now. But you know what? There’s a constant voice in my head. No matter how much I block my ears, I can’t stop it.”

The captain approached me slowly.

“The voice says this. It still continues.”

“Ooh, what kind of voice is that?”

“That’s…”

The man’s eyes were stained with blood.

Black veins sprouted from the sides of the eyes.

“I’m going to kill you!”

The captain pulled out a dagger from his waist.

The two guys next to me pulled out loaded miniature crossbows from their bosoms.

I bounced the sword that was on the top of my foot. Spin and grab the raised sword. I dodged the dagger and plunged the blade into the back of his neck. With his left hand, he pulled out the dagger from his belt and threw it. The dagger locked in the eyes of the soldier who had just pointed the crossbow at me. He pulled the sword out of his neck and cut open the upper body of the soldier who was holding his eyes. At the same time, the dagger thrown by Edith hit the third person’s forehead like a dart.

The corpses of three humans collapsed, spewing fresh blood. In the middle of the corpse, I was covered in hot blood. A thick scent of blood rose to the inside of his head.

I said with the blood-soaked blade hanging down.

“Are you still going to talk?”

I’ve seen similar incidents during my Master days.

The enemies were human, and the heroes who hesitated to attack were annihilated.

Negotiation does not exist.

Whoever comes out and how it comes out.

die or die

Aaron lowered his head and silently picked up the spear lying on the floor.

An emotionless voice came out of his mouth.

“Are they all enemies to be killed?”

“Yes. Conversation doesn’t work.”

“All right.”

Aaron, holding the spear firmly, aimed it at the enemy.

The five soldiers were already ready for battle.

“Jenna, do you want to see it?”

“If you don’t kill, you die.”

“That’s what you mean.”

“Huh, it’s okay. I’m prepared. I’m prepared!”

Wedge liquid!

An arrow that had left the demonstration hit the soldier’s chest. The boy lay down with his eyes wide open. Due to the pressure of the floor, an arrow pierced his chest and came out of his back.

“I don’t feel anything.”

Iolka has nothing to see.

He had already started casting fire magic.

Edith, who was watching this, muttered bitterly.

“Looks like you were worried for nothing.”

“Sounds obvious.”

What I considered most important in selecting party members was mentality, not talent or strength. It was a longing and an idea. I would do anything to survive.

“Prepare for battle.”

The formation is equipped.

Me and Aaron in the vanguard. Lieutenant Jenna and Edith. Iolka is the rearguard. 4 enemies died, 9 people. The soldiers lunged at us with roars that sounded like metal.

“These guys are not normal.”

Edith rotated the daggers in both hands.

abnormal. Literally. All over their faces and skin, black veins sprout like ugly tattoos. There was madness in his eyes.

【Burn up!】

Fire up.

A wall of flame shot up ahead.

“Quaaaaa!”

Two soldiers engulfed in flames struggled to their deaths.

The iron plate of the armor that received heat was dyed red.

Through the flames, Zena’s arrow pierced the air.

A middle-aged soldier with a beard thrust a spear at me.

At the same time as blocking with the shield, he moved his left hand. The spear blade slid across the shield and the soldier stumbled. A sword blade lay in front of him. With a creaking sound, his throat was cut in half, and he died clutching at his throat.

‘You’re weak.’

They are well armed, but lack formation and discipline.

It was nothing more than a random attack and wielding a weapon. It took less than 5 minutes to tidy up. In an instant, 12 bodies were scattered all over the city.

only one guy left.

The guy was sitting on his knees, shaking.

I wiped the blood on the wall with the blade and approached the soldier. The soldier spat and raised his voice.

“Save me. Help me! I have a wife and daughter waiting for me. I must go back! Gee, go home. Go home!”

“How are you going?”

“That’s… Aww!”

The soldier grabbed his head and screamed.

The soldier, who had been screaming to leave, vomited black blood and fell on his face. And it stopped moving. It is dead.

said Iolka, frowning.

“These people are strange.”

Edith inserted the dagger into her belt.

“They’ve been brainwashed. I’ve seen them a few times. But it’s the first time I’ve brainwashed this level of people this thoroughly. No, if you put it that way, the last time…” “Are these the

same guys?”

“That’s right. I killed them, but the same ones came out.”

I inspected the blood puddles on the floor.

It was thick, black blood like tar.

‘It’s the same as that bastard.’

I don’t know yet. There were too few clues.

However, we learned that these guys are trapped on the twelfth floor, have a strong animosity towards us, and will do the same trick the next time we come back.

After a while, the light enveloped the body.

It was a return signal.

[Stage clear!]

[‘Jenna (★★)’ and ‘Edith (★★★)’ level up!]

[Reward – 3500G Leather (C) X 1]

[MVP – ‘Han (★★)’]

Gap of Time and Space returned to

Edith went ahead. The battle was easy, but the faces of the three were tired. I put the sword in the scabbard and said.

“Get used to it. I will too.”

“You mean murder?”

“Yes. There is no difference between monsters and humans.”

The blood that stained his entire body had disappeared before he knew it.

However, the fishy smell lingered in his nostrils for a long time.

killing people.

As expected, there was no hesitation or excitement. It will be so in the future. It was ridiculous that he could kill monsters like that but couldn’t kill humans. Do it if necessary. whoever the opponent is.

Returning to my room, I rearranged the material.

A humanoid appeared on the twelfth floor. If similar monsters appeared on the 13th and 14th floors, we could get an estimate of the monsters that would appear on the 15th floor. Based on how and when the 3rd party was wiped out, they could have guessed the mission.

“…”

I suddenly thought of that.

‘Have I changed?’

then it must be

A lot of things have changed between me on Earth and me in the waiting room.

But I have no regrets at all. had to change. If he hadn’t changed, he would have died. It was natural.

‘If I go back, I’ll have a hard time adjusting again.’

I sighed and continued working.
