[TS] Starting the Broadcast - Chapter 128
Among Us (2)The first round ended with the impostors' victory.
The culprits were Mia and Sangsu!
Sangsu was caught and expelled while killing 19-year-old Girl, but Mia survived until the end and led the impostor team to victory after repeated politicking.
"Just you wait!"
"Eeng! Unnie, forgive me. It couldn't be helped because it's a game."
We gathered in the waiting room again after the game ended.
Mia quickly acts cute at my angry voice.
This detestable thing!
Do you think my anger from being butchered with a knife will be appeased by just this much?
Not a chance.
But if I showed this, there's a risk of raising Mia's guard, so I smiled and said it was okay.
-Real horror. Isn't Hani too scary? She's smiling saying it's okay, but her eyes aren't smiling at all!
-They say when a woman holds a grudge, frost falls even in midsummer;;
-Isn't this too narrow-minded for a game? Lol She's totally grinding her teeth.
Viewers watching the cam screen make a fuss and sway public opinion.
No, are they driving it this way?
I'm just trying to get righteous revenge!
The second round starts.
The map remained the same in consideration of me being a beginner.
And this time... Ah! I was a crewmate again.
-Lol look at that disappointed expression. As expected, Hani suits being the perpetrator rather than the victim.
-I was thinking of stabbing Mia in the back if I got impostor, but failed right away!
-Isn't this too serious? lol
'Let's stick together no matter what in the beginning.'
It's too lonely to become a ghost and wander around from the start.
A situation that must absolutely be prevented.
After watching carefully, I headed right where more people gathered.
19-year-old Girl, Waka, and Keul-mu-mu moved left, and five people including me moved together.
Lena and One Punch stopped to do missions in Weapons, and Mia, Sangsu and I kept going down towards Navigation at 3 o'clock.
A mission appeared in O2 on the opposite side, but I had no intention of risking danger by being alone.
Full-scale movement starts after the first victim appears and there's at least some sense about impostor candidates.
Two people finished the Navigation mission and came out together, when we met Lena coming down from above.
One Punch wasn't following.
I remember that fact just in case.
Going to Shields, Lena starts a visual task.
While Mia, Sangsu, and I watch that, I take the chance to clear the Divert Power mission in Shields, though it's not a visual task.
The next place we moved to was Communications, wedged between Shields at 5 o'clock and Storage at 6 o'clock.
Mia and Sangsu went inside, and Lena headed straight towards Storage.
Seeing that One Punch, who was in Weapons together, still wasn't following, I didn't follow Lena as it felt uneasy to be with her alone.
At that moment, a meeting is called.
I turn on the sound and check the deceased.
Waka was dead, and the reporter was One Punch.
"Where did you find it?"
"In Security. Looking at the body's position, it seems he was ambushed while watching the CCTV screens. The culprit is very meticulous."
"If it's Security, that's the left path. 19-year-old Girl-nim and Keul-mu-mu-nim went that way, right? Do you have alibis?"
As I testified based on my memory of observing at the cafeteria at the start, everyone's gaze turned to Keul-mu-mu and 19-year-old Girl.
"19-year-old Girl-nim and I kept moving together doing missions. I did the Upper Engine mission first, and 19-year-old Girl-nim did the Reactor mission. After that, we were doing missions near Lower Engine when the meeting was called."
19-year-old Girl's testimony was the same.
Then public opinion worsens instead.
"Then it's perfect. 19-year-old Girl unnie and Keul-mu-mu oppa, the two of you are impostors."
"That's right. At times like this, you should sacrifice one person as a scapegoat, but you're keeping loyalty too much."
"Huh? You're making a big mistake now. This is just speculation."
Mia's opinion seeing the two as culprits based on circumstances, and Waka joining in.
But I thought a little differently.
"But One Punch-nim, I thought you did missions with Lena-nim in Weapons, so why didn't you come down after finishing missions and went the opposite way instead? Your movement seems a bit strange."
The game starts in the cafeteria.
But you move from the cafeteria to Weapons to do missions, then go back to the cafeteria?
There was clearly something strange about the movement.
"There were missions in Medbay and Upper Engine, so I went there. At first I went right thinking there might be an impostor among the left members, but since they already went ahead, I went back thinking 'Let's just clear missions quickly.'"
"......"
He made an explanation of sorts, but the suspicious feeling remains.
While thinking I should be careful of One Punch, suddenly Mia's statement hits me from behind.
"Actually, unnie is suspicious too. After the game started, you just kept following people without doing a single mission."
"I did the Divert Power mission while you and Sangsu-nim were watching Lena-nim's visual task, you know?"
The anger from the previous round that I had forgotten for a moment while deducing resurfaces.
Right, so this is how you're going to be, Mia!?
Let's see how far this goes.
The first meeting ends inconclusively and the game resumes.
Everyone gathers in the cafeteria again.
Before turning off the sound, I imitated 'Mia's' voice and said quietly:
"What a shame, I should have killed one more."
"...!"
"Mia-nim, please turn off your sound."
"Ah, no, I didn't..."
Mia tried desperately to defend herself, but only requests to turn off the sound quickly came from here and there.
In the end, Mia turned off her sound without shaking off suspicion.
Seeing that scene, I covered my mouth with both hands and snickered to hold back bursting laughter.
-Insane! What is this? lololol
-Is this Hani in 'serious' mode? It's amazing!
-Hani returning the backstab to Mia who backstabbed her. So funny lol
-No, isn't this a real cheat key? What are you going to do if she keeps politicking with Mia's voice?
The chat is filled with 'lolololol'.
I barely held back laughter and moved to O2 to do missions.
I should diligently perform missions as a faithful crewmate.
Shortly after, Keul-mu-mu pressed the button in the cafeteria to call an emergency meeting.
"Mia, this is too much of a troll. How could you say such a thing openly?"
"I was really surprised. I didn't know Mia-nim was such a scary person. We were together at the start, if I had made a mistake, my head would have been cut off. Shudder."
"Ah, really, it wasn't me. I didn't say that."
"Then did a ghost speak? Gasp! Perhaps the soul of Waka-nim who died unjustly revealed the culprit asking for revenge?"
"Ugh......"
Mia is ganged up on by everyone due to such clear evidence.
Unable to hold back her frustration, she trembles and finally reaches out to me for help.
"Unnie! You believe me, right? I didn't do it. I'm not stupid, why would I say such a thing?"
"Yes, Mia, unnie believes you."
"As expected! I only have unnie!"
But Mia, do you know this?
Your knife stabs in the first round... were quite neat?
"I believe that Mia is the culprit."
"Unnieeee!"
I smiled as I watched Mia screaming in betrayal.
Ah, is this sweet taste the flavor of revenge?
-;; Split personality Hani.
-Is this the political power of League of Legends Master tier?
-But what if Mia is a crewmate? With both impostors still alive, isn't this too disadvantageous?
-Lol She's in the middle of revenge, do you think the game result matters to her?
"Then let's vote."
"You'll all regret this. You're killing an innocent person now. If you do this, the impostors will win this round too, is that okay?"
Mia's persuasion didn't work.
Votes pour in coldly.
I told the despairing Mia:
"Oh my... You shouldn't have made a 'mistake'."
"U-Unnie, could it be!?"
As if realizing something, Mia was about to open her mouth, but at that moment the vote ended and Mia's avatar, the yellow character, is expelled out of the spaceship.
The revealed result was crewmate.
Mia was not an impostor.
-Lol Mia figured it out now. She's raging saying Hani must have imitated her voice.
-So funny lol Do it one more time next round!
-Can't you imitate other people's voices?
"Why not? But if I overuse it, everyone will notice, so I have to be careful."
It's already been half a year since I got to know Keul-mu-mu.
Because there's a clear difference between male and female voices, the quality is lower compared to Mia, but it was possible to imitate briefly for a moment.
"Now there are 3 left."
"...!"
"Ah, no. This isn't me. What, what's going on?"
Keul-mu-mu is flustered.
But having confirmed he was the culprit through the past 2 meetings, I imitated his voice without hesitation.
In the end, the game resumed and shortly after, an emergency meeting was called and Keul-mu-mu was expelled into space.
As expected, his identity was impostor.
"Now there's one left."
-;; Hani manipulating the game from behind the scenes. Is she the 'mastermind' of this other world?
-Lol The concept above is a bit gross.
-For real;; Isn't this game completely made for Hani? Seems like she'll dominate even more intensely than League of Legends.
-Lol How do you counter politicking by imitating voices? It's too OP.
The second round ended in crewmate victory.
And my performance using voices reached its peak in the third round when I was selected as impostor.
By that point, everyone found out through Mia and Keul-mu-mu's accusations.
That I was politicking by imitating other people's voices.
But it was already too late.
I recorded 2 kills and caused discord among crewmates through politicking, making them expel 2 of their own.
It was no different from handling 4 people alone.
The third round won with tremendous performance.
19-year-old Girl, who acted as impostor with me, said in the waiting room while laughing like a madwoman:
"You're really no joke. But won't this be a problem later?"
"What problem?"
Among Us... is quite a fun game.
Moreover, it's a very good game for displaying my talent.
'It's trending recently too, so it's perfect for getting YouTube views. Should I dig into this game seriously for a while?'
Such plans of mine were shattered the very next day.
19-year-old Girl's prediction was right.
No one invited me to Among Us games anymore.
A warning about Among Us Hani was issued within New Continent TV.
They said if you get caught up in her devilish politicking, your mental will be crushed and even friendships will be shattered.
"No, I was just trying to have fun"
[Devil! You are a devil.]
"......"
This is how a day was passing.
