Chapter 128 – Mister Park’s Identity #1

He pulled out the Demon Revealing Mirror and checked the message .

[317 affinity points have been acquired . ]

[You can use the affinity points to enhance crime skills or activate hidden attributes . ]

‘317 affinity points?!’

Until now, he had mainly only received around 10 at a time . It was the first time he obtained so many points in one go .

‘My prediction was right . I get affinity points for changing someone’s fate . ’

It was rare for people to lose their lives after getting involved with Sun . Despite that, he gained more than 300 points so Tae-hyuk’s hypothesis was correct .

‘Then how should I use these points?’

He could strengthen all the skills he had . However, Tae-hyuk hadn’t received any new skills since he had acquired Illegal Surgery . The more skills that Tae-hyuk added, the wider range of things that he could do .

Tae-hyuk manipulated the Demon Revealing Mirror . Then a special menu that wasn’t usually seen popped up .

[Platinum Draw Chance!]

-You can obtain various skills by using 10 affinity points .

-It is possible to acquire skills that aren’t available due to the low rank .

-The more you draw in a row, the more points that will be consumed .

After becoming a Noble, the points consumed had returned to its original value .

‘Yes . I should use the points to learn a few new skills . Preferably, something that increases my attack power . ’

The only skill he could use for fighting was Violence, using the iron pipe . He was confident that he could win against any opponent using Damage to Both Sides . It was too weak to be used in a one versus many situation . In order to fight the mafia in the future, he needed a better skill .

Tae-hyuk thought that and carefully pressed the button .

The roulette on the Demon Revealing Mirror started spinning . There were cheerful sound effects as he received the message that he got a new skill .

[Crime Skill: Vehicle Theft has been acquired . ]

-Anything with an engine can be freely used by holding the handle .

-The ability will be affected by your dexterity .

“I-It is subtle…”

It was a skill that could be utilized in various ways, but it wasn’t the ability that he desired .

“…One more draw . ”

He was able to gain another skill by consuming 100 points .

“I could do more if I had 1,000 points . ”

The problem was, what skill would he get next? He wanted a decent combat skill . Tae-hyuk once again tried the platinum challenge .

This time, he clicked the button very carefully . A huge 100 points . He could’ve invested this in Voice Modulation or Counterfeit .

He gulped nervously as he looked at the Demon Revealing Mirror . There were cheerful sound effects as he received the message that he got a new skill .

[Crime Skill: Shooting Spree has been acquiring . ]

-You can handle various firearms freely .

-For 100 affinity points, you can learn the attribute Bullet Time .

“W-What? This is a j-j-jackpot!”

Tae-hyuk, who had been watching the Demon Revealing Mirror nervously, let out an excited cheer . He had acquired a combat skill . Furthermore, he had the guns that he took from Big Brother . He didn’t have a lot of bullets, but they would do well as secret weapons .

However, there was an uneasy part about the message in the Demon Revealing Mirror .

“Bullet Time? It is a named attribute . ”

Among the attributes, there were those with unique names such as Hawk Eyes, Damage to Both Sides, and Sixth Sense . Unlike other skill attributes, a large number of points were consumed, but the performance was enormous .

Tae-hyuk decided to check the description of Bullet Time . It was a buff-type skill that could only be activated with firearms .

“…Accelerated thinking?”

When Bullet Time was cast, everything except for Tae-hyuk’s consciousness moved 100 times slower . One moment could feel like eternity .

“Whoa…”

He unknowingly exclaimed . It had a limit of only one minute a day, but it was a tremendous skill . In particular, it would show great synergy with Sixth Sense that allowed him to read the enemy’s attacks .

Tae-hyuk looked at the Bullet Time attribute . He could get it by moving one finger . Although he had to spend 100 points on the attribute, it was worth it .

“This isn’t a worker’s salary, but one that should be used immediately . ”

Once he learned the Bullet Time attribute, he would have 107 points left . He would leave 50 points and spend the rest on the features he wanted .

“Increase the duration of the Counterfeit skill . Make Forgery more complete . Increase the range and accuracy of Robbery…”

In addition, increase the time he had to cancel Illegal Surgery and other attributes . He supplemented all of the crime skills that he had obtained so far .

“Now it is finished…!”

With this, Tae-hyuk had 10 crime skills . He had become so powerful that he couldn’t be compared to the past .

“Then the only thing left is to secure the scammers . ”

Tae-hyuk closed the screen of the Demon Revealing Mirror with a satisfied face and hid himself in the darkness .

Song Chi-hyun stepped back into a corner of the auditorium and said in a dignified voice .

“Pungbaek will speak . So everybody, listen carefully . ”

Song Chi-hyun looked anxiously at Pungbaek .

The words that came from his mouth would decide the future of ‘Sun’ . Of course, the leader wasn’t a fool, so he would give up his position if he had to . The believers in the auditorium listened to Pungbaek’s speech with tense expressions .

“After thousands of years, I am able to appear in front of you thanks to Hwanin . I…”

The faces of the believers filled with surprise . Clouds rushed around Pungbaek, creating a mysterious atmosphere . The appearance of a man who literally controlled the wind . It couldn’t possibly be a trick or gimmick . Furthermore, he was talking to half-brainwashed believers .

In order to break them, Pungbaek would have to announce that he was a fake . Pungbaek laughed and said words that no one expected .

“…am a fake . ”

The believers showed a violent reaction to Pungbaek’s words .

“Ooooof!”

Cho Min-hyuk, who was drinking tea in the audience with a calm expression, spilled the tea he was drinking .

“W-W-What?!”

Kim Jin-woo and Park Bum-ho fell down where they were standing . Song Chi-hyun maintained his calm and tried to fix the situation .

“Ha, ha, ha . Pungbaek really… Even in this situation, you don’t lose your wit . ”

Tae-hyuk smiled and placed his fingers at his chin . Then the special makeup that had been fully assimilated to his skin was peeled off and his original face revealed . The believers who saw it shrieked .

“W-What the? A costume?!”

The face behind the special makeup clearly looked like a criminal . It was the appearance of Kim Cheol-su from Blue Dragon Prison . His face was scary enough to cause the believers to shrink back . It was reasonable since the believers didn’t have immunity to such things .

Tae-hyuk spoke into the microphone with a relaxed expression .

“Huhuhu… My conscience is pricked by those who are pretending to be gods . My face was changed due to special disguise makeup . The clouds are nothing but a superconductor that binds water vapour . ”

Even after hearing such words, one of the faithful believers shouted,

“If everything is a scam, how did they know my history? Hwanin can obviously see the past, present and future . How else can you explain it?”

Tae-hyuk used the iron pipe to stop the bishops and pressed something . Then on one side of the auditorium, the projector screen descended .

“T-T-This bastard!”

The embarrassed bishops headed towards Tae-hyuk but the believers were staring at the screen . It was showing videos from the secret cameras installed in the cafe and convenience store . Among the recorded footage, there were videos of believers who were here now .

“I-Isn’t that me?”

“That is the story of my childhood! Didn’t he pretend to have the power to know this?”

“Aren’t they complete con artists?”

But this wasn’t the end . Tae-hyuk pressed a button again and more evidence of the scam popped up .

In the end, Song Chi-hyun realized that this situation couldn’t be rectified . He quietly spoke to his colleagues standing behind him .

“First of all, we should get out of here . Shit . That bastard hit us in the back…”

He wanted to stop Tae-hyuk but the water had already been spilled .

“……”

However, his colleagues didn’t reply . Song Chi-hyun gulped and slowly looked back . Kim Jin-woo and Park Bum-ho couldn’t be seen at all .

“…Those bastards ran away!”

The other bishops and the leader had escaped the auditorium in the turmoil . Song Chi-hyun looked at the believers surrounding him with a flustered expression .

“You have scammed us .

“Huh? I brought all my possessions to you . That was a trick?”

“I won’t be able to close my eyes if I don’t hit you now . Everyone pounce!”

Song Chi-hyun was stunned and lost consciousness .

The sweating Park Bum-ho opened his eyes in the darkness . He told Kim Jin-woo who was sitting next to him .

“Sunbae… I had an unbelievably strange dream . Pungbaek appeared in my setting, then Pungbaek revealed to all the believers what we did . ”

Cho Min-hyuk, who was sitting behind him, aimed a high kick towards Park Bum-ho’s side .

“This brat fainted in the middle and thought it was a dream? What? A dream? Dreaaam? Fuck… I hope it is all a dream…”

“Kuooh . ”

Park Bum-ho realized that it wasn’t a dream, but something that happened a few hours ago .

Kim Jin-woo said,

“Leader . What should we do now?”

“Stop calling me leader . Are you still saying that in this situation?”

“Ah, yes…”

“At any rate, we have to escape from this place . It is like how the people were enraged at the king and queen during the French Revolution . They clearly feel anger towards us . ”

Kim Jin-woo trembled as he got goose bumps .

“Chief . What should we do now?” There are many believers out there . If I knew this then I would’ve made a secret passageway…”

The total number of believers was over 1,000 . They would keep hiding like this, but they would soon be discovered .

“We are trapped rats… But who the hell is that bastard? No matter how I looked, he was real . ”

“I-it seemed like it . The thing he did it front of us, it wasn’t special makeup . ”

“Yes, I know of only one person who can freely change their face…”

At that moment, Cho Min-hyuk fell silent as he got goose bumps and swallowed his saliva . There was one person who could change his face . He was definitely a famous criminal in the country .

“D-Don’t tell me…”

The appearance of the phantom masked person appeared in his head . It was at that moment .

“This truly is a predicament . ”

Someone’s voice was heard from behind them .

Cho Min-hyuk cried out,

“W-Who are you?”

Then something white came closer . It was the mask worn by the main character of the Phantom of the Opera . And the criminal wearing it was clearly .

“You mean me? I am Phantom . ”

Phantom appeared in front of the scammers .
