Chapter 62-1
With my memory fully restored, I recalled a few days ago that I had made a plan with my Clone.
***
[You have died.]
What? Why did I die?
Just a moment ago, I was talking with Jenny after we finished our match, and went outside for a while alone.
There was clearly no one around…
I can’t think of any reason why I died.
Ugh… Anyway, the quest wasn’t cleared after all.
Honestly, even if I had faked it, since I actually did it myself, I naturally thought it would be cleared, but the system didn’t acknowledge it properly.
Well, then I just won’t cheat on this episode.
More importantly, let’s think about why I just died.
At times like this, there’s no point in thinking alone, two brains are better than one.
I took out my Clone from the dimensional ring and explained to him what had happened in the previous episode.
“How about you? What do you think?”
“Hmm. I have a rough idea, but don’t you think it’s that?”
“…Are you talking about assassination?”
He nods in response to my question.
Hmm! It wouldn’t make sense if it wasn’t for that.
If I suddenly died of a heart attack, it’s no different from being struck by lightning, and it doesn’t make sense that I died without knowing anything.
Therefore, if the assassins of the cult killed me with one strike, it makes sense.
In fact, when I (Kim Soo-yong Charecter) played the game, it wasn’t revealed how I died in this episode if I died.
It’s the same as the phenomenon of my current death.
Thinking like this, it’s certain that I was killed by the cult assassins.
Those damn game developers should have made this episode properly.
Even when I die, I don’t know how I died, and when I successfully counterattack the assassins, their identity or attack method isn’t properly revealed.
It just appears as simple text and ends, TF? Those damn developers can go bald and get sick!!
As I curse the developers in my mind, my clone who was watching me asks a question.
“Main body. So what are we going to do?”
“Well, let’s see. If we just act a little suspicious, that assassin guy probably won’t take a risk to assassinate.”
It’s good to make the assassin not aim for me, but there’s no guarantee that the cult is not targeting Kim Soo-yong.
Therefore, I need to kill the assassin instead.
Because, I can’t let him run free inside the academy forever, It’s dangerous.
Well, is there anything useful…?
I thought as I scrolled through the cash shop.
“Hmm? This was here?”
[Memory absorption device.]
As the name suggests, it is a device that absorbs and restores memories.
Just hearing this, it could be a really cheat item, but the downside is that the other person has to accept it for the performance to be able to work.
I wondered why such an item existed when I played games.
But in reality, it looks somewhat useful.
Using the memory absorption device, if I erase my memories and behave as if I had not regressed, I will move just like the previous round.
As long as I don’t know when he started watching me, there’s no better way than this.
If I act with memories, I can also be cautious unconsciously.
I spent 500 points and purchased the memory absorption device.
A memory absorption device appeared in the air and I grabbed it before it hit the ground.
Then I explained my plan to my Clone.
He nodded with a convincing face.
“So. You want to erase memories of the previous round and the memory absorption device?”
“Yes, and you and the Constellation keep watching me. If there’s anyone suspicious, then something must be up. If I had to guess, I was killed in a place where no one was. Maybe someone knew my schedule or was following me all the time.”
“Okay. I got it. I’ll tell the Constellation.”
After hearing the clone’s response, I handed over the necessary items for the plan, including a backup scope, Constellation’s bracelet, a Memory Absorption Device, and a dimensional ring that might have nothing inside.
The clone put everything except for the Memory Absorption Device into the dimensional ring.
Handing me the Memory Absorption Device, the clone asked.
“Are you ready, main body?”
“Of course, clone,” I replied.
With that, the clone pressed the button on the Memory Absorption Device, and a light surrounded me.
I accepted the light and discarded all unnecessary memories.
