I Quit Being an Idol and Became a Youtuber - Chapter 51
Right after successfully selling a product to such a vicious customer.
The two were able to join the remaining survivor group.
“Then, the living ones are all gathered here, right?”
There were four people gathered in this place, including us.
One had just become bait and sacrificed himself, and two others had already escaped by boat, as I noticed in the logs.
In short, this means that the people gathered here are the last survivors.
-Domhwangcha~
-There are two imposters here
-They are about to get sold
-What’s before my eyes is a devil
Oh, what are these people saying?
Do I look like someone who would sell out anyone?
The products I’ve sold so far have all had their own standards.
I only sell when I feel like I might d*e.
And being here, I wouldn’t have to worry much about dying. Since there are a lot of people around.
“So, what should we do now?”
It seemed like our escape plan using the car was already out of the question, so I thought I should hear this group’s opinion.
“Oh, for now, we’re going to take the police reporting route.”
Police reporting.
Surely, there was no personnel limit, so theoretically, this was a way for everyone here to survive.
‘But the problem is that it’s an easy method to get caught.’
Even a murderer isn’t a fool, so it was likely he had either destroyed his phone beforehand or set traps in advance.
In the end, to succeed with this plan, we needed to repair it quickly before the murderer arrived.
“By the way, have you fixed the fuse?”
“Oh, no. We were just about to look for it.”
“Then, I’ll take care of the fuse repair.”
It may look unremarkable on the surface, but the survivors in this game also had their own specialties like the mafia.
Among them, my specialty was a repairman.
It was a job class with traits that accelerated item repair speed.
The repair difficulty wasn’t particularly hard, and since we were all moving together, the chance of dying alone was low.
Just when the survivors were about to start looking for the phone.
Knock knock—
A knock was heard from outside the door.
“Hey, open the door.”
A distinctly different low voice from the murderer came from outside.
As soon as I heard that voice, I could identify the man outside at a glance.
“Hey, you sold me out?”
Covered in bl**d, Bubugi appeared.
What the heck, he just got grabbed by the murderer and yet he’s alive?
Well, I didn’t care about that.
What mattered now was something else.
Bubugi, trembling in anger, pulled something from behind.
A long wooden barrel and the trigger hooked below it.
It was the shotgun, the strongest weapon in this game.
Click-!
“Everyone, get away from me!”
With a refreshing sound of loading, he aimed the g*n at the survivors.
“Screeeam!?!”
“Hey you crazy b*stard! Why is that here—”
The scream of the streamers echoed.
Amidst that, I could still hear laughter, proving that a partner is indeed a partner.
Then, I should join in that flow as well.
“Belena just sold out Bubugi.”
“What?”
There should always be a character that appropriately betrays in entertainment.
That’s how you get popularity and it’s fun.
Of course, if it’s overdone and hinders the progression, that would be a problem in itself, but this wasn’t that situation.
“Ahahaha, is that so?”
Click-!
At those words, the shotgun was turned towards Belena.
“Wait, wait?!”
Seeing that, Belena unconsciously started to retreat.
Hmm, this is going to get noisy.
Maybe I should lower the volume a bit.
I quickly pressed the ESC button to enter the settings window.
——I went to rescue, and you sold me out?!
Let’s see, the option key is here.
——Do you know me?! I mean me!!
——Ah, I’m sorry!
Hmm, this is a human voice, so I should reduce the voice chat sound, right?
——That person was also with us!
——In the end, you were the one who sold out!
By the way, did Baekro end up not killing anyone after all?
As a murderer, that’s a bit sad.
Phew-!
——Gyaah?!
——Ugh! Someone died!
With a peaceful (?) background sound, Cheongha changed the settings.
Great, now it sounds just right.
After finishing all the settings and returning to the game, Belena was collapsed next to her.
“Oh my, you should have been more careful.”
“Ugh, I thought I was going to d*e…”
Cheongha muttered after seeing Belena sprawled on the floor.
Maybe she was seen as a fellow survivor, as Belena, who was hit not with a shotgun but with a blunt weapon, thankfully remained intact.
-What is it, a real loser
-My brother killed
-You were the first to sell out, haha
Well, that being said…
“We’re going to report to the police, do you want to come with us?”
Cheongha confidently extended an invitation to Bubugi.
The boat had already left, so the only remaining options were making a phone call or repairing the car again.
The latter was nearly impossible to handle alone, so in reality, he had no choice but to choose the former.
*Sigh*, are you not going to sell me out again, right?
“No way.”
Am I crazy enough to betray our team’s best power holding a shotgun?
“If you sell me out again, I’ll really sh**t. Team or not, I’ll really sh**t.”
“Don’t worry, I won’t betray first.”
Above all, if you betray me more than this, I think it would become genuinely disliked, not just for entertainment purposes.
Joking is only a joke when the other person accepts it. Excessive teasing or hidden cameras are just malice.
So, with Bubugi joining, the survivor party crossed through the rain-soaked path to find the phone.
And.
“Yes, the repair is all done.”
“Oh really? Is it because of your job? Your speed is definitely fast.”
The repair work itself was nothing special.
I just had to find the fuse’s location and press the button at the right timing.
With my job, it was actually easier for me.
“Yes, we will dispatch immediately.”
Beeep—
As I connected the call through the fuse, the voice of the police came through, and a timer appeared on the screen.
“Now we just need to move to the entrance.”
“Everyone, grab everything you need and let’s go quickly.”
There were two exits where the survivors could meet the police.
If we got caught by the murderer in between, it would be bad news.
Just then, while the survivors were moving towards the exit.
Screeching noise—
“Uhm, excuse me, knock knock? Is anyone inside?”
Static appeared on the screen, and a familiar voice echoed.
The rookie murderer I had just met twice.
Baekro.
“Whoa! You scared me!!”
In an instant, Rupang was grabbed by the collar and screamed.
“Rupang!”
Almost getting killed due to a moment of carelessness, she quickly stabbed the murderer in the belly with a dagger and escaped.
Only five minutes remained until the police arrived.
If we got caught in the meantime, we would d*e right there, so we should lead the murderer while escaping towards the exit.
“Run!”
As Baekro pulled the dagger from her body, the remaining survivors started to dash towards the exit.
“Hey! Stop right there!!”
Baekro was chasing behind them.
How long did the chase last?
“Ah, we’re almost there!”
The trees leading to the exit appeared in the survivors’ sight.
“Then, let’s hold out from here.”
Typically, it’s common for everyone to scatter to avoid the murderer.
However, this time, the pilot was a pilot, so confidence began to swell among the streamers.
[1:30]
Only one minute and thirty seconds remained until the police arrived.
The survivors, having checked the time, started to raise their weapons.
A variety of weapons appeared, including crowbars, bats, flares, and shotguns.
“d*e—?!”
Bang-!
“I got it!”
Belena fired a flare at the approaching murderer.
The sudden appearance of a red light flying towards them in the middle of the night made the murderer falter.
While the murderer was stunned, the actions of the remaining survivors were swift.
“Hey hey, attack! Attack!”
“Wait, why aren’t you running?”
Baekro, surprised at the sight of the survivors starting to beat up the murderer, shouted.
However, the hands of the gathered humans were merciless.
“Isn’t this bullying decisively unreasonable!!”
“Baekro, you’re not strong at all.”
I guess I need to take her to the gym later.
No matter how much damage reduction gets applied, with that many people, the murderer fell to the ground multiple times.
“I got him, this b*stard!!”
“Hey, get out of the way. There’s a g*n here.”
Thwack-!
As the murderer regained consciousness and tried to attack the survivors, Bubugi stopped him with a shotgun.
Thwack-!
When he attempted to rise again, Belena struck her crowbar against the back of his head.
How long had Baekro been smashed into the ground?
Eeeeng—
The siren rang as a police car appeared beyond the bridge.
The combination of blue and red was truly reassuring.
“Hey, the police have arrived!”
“Aah, no?!”
At the sight of the police, the survivors one by one began crossing the bridge.
Baekro thrashed around at that scene.
There are newbies with us right now!
As a senior, I didn’t want to carry the image of someone who stumbles in their first collaboration.
“Hey! Who are you! Bubugi?!”
“I’m not Bubugi, I’m Rupang!”
Thud-!
“Scream?!”
Ultimately, leaving behind the murderer who was toyed with until the end, all the survivors successfully escaped.
-Oh haha
-So really, not a single person died?
-Baekro’s a loser
-As expected, gaming without skill
-I should have realized when Bubugi started to be ignored
“……Eeeek!!”
It’s a bonus that the chaser had zero kills, creating an unprecedented opening.
“….Did I really get cursed or something?”
Just like last time with the grenades, now it’s the murderer.
Cheongha couldn’t help but stick out her tongue at such an achievement that could not be explained without a determined pacifist.
