I Woke Up as the Villain

Yoon glared intensely at Yu-Seong.

‘It’s worth a try, right?’ thought Yu-Seong.

However, it would take a considerable lot of energy.
It was also an overplaying move when also thinking about rescuing Jin Yu-Ri after a successful escape.

“Do you have any ideas?” asked Yu-Seong.

“I am afraid not,” replied Do-Yoon.

Choi Yu-Seong continued to talk with Jin Do-Yoon while checking the room.

“Please save Yu-Ri and not me.
She pretends to be strong, but she is a weak-hearted kid.”

“I heard the same thing in the other room.
To put it the same way, I refuse your request.
I’m gonna save you both.”

“There is no appropriate way, young master.”

“If we don’t have any appropriate way, we should make one.”

“But…”

“That’s enough.
That’s why I am here to think about it.”

“…I believe in you.”

Yu-Seong smirked and approached Do-Yoon after going around the room.
He asked, “How are you feeling?”

“It is not bad.”

“You can’t just break that off by force, right?”

“…” Jin Do-Yoon showed a deep smile instead of answering.

“Don’t overdo it.
What are we going to do if you get seriously hurt after doing everything I tell you to? Lower your head a little bit.” Yu-Seong scratched his own cheek and whispered something in Jin Do-Yoon’s ear.

“…I understand.”

“Good.” Choi Yu-Seong smiled slightly and stepped away from Jin Do-Yoon.

[Know that if you try some useless transparent trick, both of them could be sacrificed.]

“How unsympathetic.
The rules get tougher as time passes by,” Choi Yu-Seong replied gruntingly.
He moved farther away from Jin Do-Yoon.
Then, he stood on the lower-left corner of the room and muttered quietly, “Summon Dimensional Merchant.”

Space became distorted and a small pink door was formed.

“Where’s the lollipop for this body?” Pingpong of the Lion Bear Clan walked out from the door and asked his first question.
He was looking at Choi Yu-Seong.

Baek Cheol frowned and looked at the monitor where Choi Yu-Seong’s figure had disappeared.
“It seems the young master, Yu-Seong, has found the camera’s blind spot, sir.”

“It seems like he has noticed that there’s no blind spot in his own room.
That’s why he chose the room Jin Do-Yoon is in,” said Ji-Ho.

“How did he know it?”

“Instinctive sense.
Or he might have felt the camera’s gaze.
After all, Yu-Seong is also a hunter.”

“He didn’t even know it was a trap… It is a foolish thought to think that.
He doesn’t know that you, master, don ’t see him with eyes.”

Choi Ji-Ho nodded at Baek Cheol’s words, then commented, “He summoned a Dimensional Merchant.
I think he is buying something, but I don’t know what it’s for.”

“I heard that it has not been long since he just became a hunter.
Even if he received a lot of attention from the gods, what he can do with such karma points would be limited.”

“It’s limited, but he can cut corners.”

“He should not be permitted to use future seeing eye.”

Baek Cheol quickly took the lead.
The use of future-seeing eyes was also a big burden for Choi Ji-Ho.
Although the test was important, it was Baek Cheol’s wish for Choi Ji-Ho not to overdo it.

“I don ’t mean to do that much.
But… Shall we surprise him once?” Ji-Ho grinned and took the microphone to his lips.

***

[I suggest you cancel the summon of Dimensional Merchant right now.
Choi Yu-Seong.
This is the last warning.]

Yu-Seong had summoned Ping Pong and was quickly buying some items from him.
Yu-Seong shuddered.
“…Isn’t this a blind spot?”

[That could be your misunderstanding.
I’ll count from three.
Three.]

Yu-Seong shed a bitter smile.
‘There wasn’t much information about Choi Ji-Ho in the original novel.
It’s not strange that he has a skill I don’t know of.’ 

While he was thinking hard, Ji-Ho’s voice was heard once again.

It can be hard to make great work when its stolen from bit.ly/3iBfjkV.

[Two.]

Yu-Seong sighed deeply and looked at Ping Pong.
“Next time you come, I’ll give you three lollipops for free.
Thank you for helping me when I’m in a hurry, Mr.
Ping Pong.”

[Two.]

“What a very touching story.
I hope to see you again alive.
Choi Yu-Seong,” said Ping Pong.

[One.]

Ping Pong saluted with its short arm, reopened the door, and returned to its original world.
Left alone, Yu-Seong shrugged his shoulders.
“I definitely thought this was a blind spot, but I guess my feeling was wrong.”

[What did you buy?]

Instead of answering, Yu-Seong took out a palm-sized square box and waved it upward.
He walked naturally to Do-Yoon.
Of course, Choi Ji-Ho would not watch him to the end.

[Stay in place.
No further move is allowed.]

“How cruel.”

[What’s in the box?]

“I will show you.
I will just show you then.” Yu-Seong held the bottom of the box with his left hand and slowly opened the lid with his right hand.
Inside the box was a strange tree root that resembled a human.

[What is that…?]

Before Ji-Ho even asked a question, the tree roots trembled before a hard ringing erupted.
Beeeeep-! There was a power outage.

“Jin Do-Yoon!” Choi Yu-Seong covered his ears tightly and raised his voice.

Do-Yoon turned around, along with the sound of the chains breaking.
At the same time, the light in the room began to turn on again, and Do-Yoon clenched his fist and punched the wall where he was initially tied to.
A part of the wall collapsed like a lie with great vibration.

Yu-Seong checked on Do-Yoon after rushing to get the key.
He shouted, “Run!”
