Why Are You Doing This?

"Yes, how did he manage to become the leader? He doesn't seem like a reader of the revelation like us," Sung-kook was also shocked when he heard about how Haru was asking about the prophets and apostles.

From their point of view, Haru seemed to have no idea about their group or it could be that he was acting, but there was no point in doing that.

"The reason he could become the leader was simple, he is just stronger than Jung-hyuk and his skills are also dangerous," Dok-ja said shocking the two to their core.

Jung-hyuk was fucking strong, he was the fucking protagonist after all, and to be able to get the flag from that lunatic in a frontal confrontation was something that wasn't possible for any incarnation in Seoul.

'Even the Tyrant king could only compete with Jung-hyuk during the capture the flag scenario because of the flag's buff,' This was the reason Dok-ja wasn't that worried about Haru since he was after the Tyrant king who has gotten even stronger than he was supposed to be.

And Haru was also chasing after the apostles which allowed Dok-ja to get out of the radar since Queresha would also be busy making plans while taking in the new information, she had a lot on her plate now because of all of his plans.

'While they do that, I can focus on my plans here,' Dok-ja looked at Min-seob who came out of his thoughts it seemed that he had pieced a few things together.

"Is one of his skills related to lying?" Min-seob asked since it was weird since Dok-ja mentioned it before.

"I guess I do not need to explain it to you guys," Dok-ja smiled since it looked like these two were smart enough to understand that Haru's skill was something far superior to something like lie detection.

"So, were you testing us here?" Sung-kook couldn't stop his body from shaking since he was uncomfortably close to getting killed for real.

"Yes, you guys seemed particularly great at lying, and I needed to see if you are trustworthy or not," Dok-ja said sending Min-seob into deep thought.

"Well, we needed to create a backstory for when we encounter Yu Jung-hyuk, we racked our brains for a long time since that guy had a lie detection skill as well," Sung-kook shook his head as the story they created to sell to Jung-hyuk was something like this.

10 years ago, A book of revelations(TWSA) appeared on earth that told of Jung-hyuk's future, only a few people had read it but no one had read it to the end because it was too difficult to decipher(It was boring so people stopped reading), and then the book of revelations was lost suddenly(No one was interested in reading it), and then the scenarios started.

And people who read the book of revelation(novel) understood that it had come to reality so they were looking for Jung-hyuk to help him accomplish his noble goals since they were moved as they saw him suffering alone the more they read more of the revelations.

'Even I felt tears gathering in my eyes by that, but in reality, these guys just wanted to ride the bus, well I am not so different in a sense,' Dok-ja looked at the phony prophets in front of him.

"So, Dok-ja-ssi you want us to work with you, right?" Min-seob saw Dok-ja smile at his words, it seemed like he had guessed correctly.

"Yes, it would be better if I show it to you," Dok-ja took out the flag he was hiding.

"W-What?" Sung-kook was shocked when he saw the flag, even Min-seob was speechless.

"Well, what I want from you guys is very simple, if you guys listen to me I can guarantee that you won't die but you better not betray me, otherwise, you know what'll happen, right?" Dok-ja said making the two nod quickly.

'How did this guy get hold of a station while being in the middle of those guys, He is really something,' Min-seob knew that Dok-ja himself was quite extraordinary in his own way, He looked close to Haru who was stronger than Jung-hyuk the main protagonist.

'But if he is in such a good position, why is he risking his neck like this? He has such a good leader and here he doing things behind his back, What a disloyal bastard,' Min-seob was having these thoughts. It also seemed that Dok-ja was hiding a lot of things from Haru from the way he was acting now.

"Are you thinking something rude about me?" Dok-ja narrowed his eyes making Min-seob flinch as he shook his head, But Dok-ja let it pass as now wasn't the time for this…

"Let's deal with all of the Prophets tomorrow," Dok-ja said as Min-seob and Sung-kook could only nod their heads, they were too deep to turn back now anyway, Dok-ja can actually have them killed and they won't even be able to defend themselves.

"So, I have a question," Sung-kook raised his hand and Dok-ja nodded.

"Which one is the better looking between those two?" Dok-ja deadpanned looking at Sung-kook, Min-seob was the same.

They could lose their lives at any time and this guy was more interested in fucking ranking who was the better-looking guy.

"S-Sorry," Sung-kook apologized since his curiosity got the better of him.

"I guess I can show you, Min-seob give me the 'Fugitive's mask'" Min-seob gave over the mask that was hanging around his neck a bit grudgingly as Dok-ja asked for it.

Dok-ja placed the mask on his face and his face began to change slowly, in a few seconds he looked just like Yu Jung-hyuk, Dok-ja changed his hairstyle to match Jung-hyuk's as well.

Currently, he looked like a smaller version of Jung-hyuk because of his smaller height and body size.

"Oh, he is handsome just like stated in the revelations," Min-seob said making Dok-ja's eyes twitch.

"He looks like a normal person in front of that guy though," Sung-kook rubbed his eyes and looked at Dok-ja a few more times.

'He'll get used to it, also if Jung-hyuk looks like a normal person next to Haru what do I look like? No wait, let's not think about that,' Dok-ja shook his head before he goes into depression.

Truth be told, he himself had a hard time adjusting to the fact that Haru was that better looking than Jung-hyuk. Though most people right now didn't care for things such as appearances now since everything is chaotic, it does play a part albeit small.

But Dok-ja knew that this would help Haru in the future a lot, and when he said a lot he meant a fucking lot.

Dok-ja took off the mask and walked out of the tent with the two behind him. He had talked to the two about what something he was planning to do and all he needed to do now, was wait for the next day to come so that he can start his plans.

***

The Next day, Chung-muro station, 2nd Basement floor, 3:00 P.M.

"You look quite happy Hee-won," Haru couldn't help but ask since Hee-won was beaming today.

"I just had a great sleep that is all," Hee-won looked really refreshed, and she was also wearing a new set of clothes which made her look extra happy.

"Well, sleeping in the bed after a while sure was something," Haru also had a great night's sleep himself, it was all thanks to Queresha who had spent the entire last day improving the living conditions in Chung-muro station.

The sleeping situation in Chungmuro station was like this, Platforms were empty at night, they were only used for monster dissection, and the 2nd basement floor where the Flagpole was situated was the place where the main combat force of the station slept.

Only Haru had an individual tent to himself while the others shared the tents with mattresses in them based on the gender of course, while the others slept in groups by laying down the mattresses on the ground.

The number of people that slept on this floor was close to 60 and they took turns so that the flagpole is well guarded by one team while the other is resting or doing something else.

On the First Basement Floor, it was the same as how most of the people on the second floor slept, and there were also several groups made to patrol the area in order to make sure that they can respond to unexpected attacks that may come from above.

Just this alone had increased the comfort level in Chung-muro to a new level. This was not including the improved food situation and other things which Queresha had done yesterday.

She was actually planning on building a shower by modifying an area on the second floor. But that has been put on hold since there were some other things to do.

"Yeah, I didn't feel like waking up today but I had to since my mattress is held hostage," Hee-won sighed as Queresha really went 'If you oversleep I'll take it back' and this applied to everyone except for one person.

"Sucks to be you," Haru laughed annoying Hee-won since she knew damn well why he was doing that.
