"...Yoo Joonghyuk that son of a bitch." Kim Dokja mumbled after Yoo Joonghyuk and Lee Jihye were out of sight.

[Constellation 'One who Knows All' bursts out laughing.]

[Constellation 'One who Knows All' gifted Incarnation 'Kim Dokja' 100 coins.]

[Constellation 'Prisoner of The Golden Headband' is pleased.]

[Constellation 'Prisoner of The Golden Headband gifted Incarnation 'Kim Dokja' 100 coins.]

[Constellation 'One who Knows All' says they share the same brain cells.]

[Constellation 'Prisoner of The Golden Headband' agrees.]

"I should probably write a book called 'How To Make Friends 101'." I mused while a few mini robots that 'Mass Production Maker' built fixed the wall and coffee table. Out of pure boredom, because I knew what Yoo Joonghyuk was going to do, I continued to watch Channel #BI-7623.

"You were scared a little, weren't you?" The woman who apparently, is 'Demon-like Judge of Fire' incarnation, asked Kim Dokja. She was grinning like a mad woman, not going to lie.

"Sorry?"

"When you were talking to the Yoo Joonghyuk guy."

"H-Haha, as if...B-But more importantly, I'm worried about what to do with Gong Pildu and his gang. From what I heard, they claim ownership over public spaces and asked people for rent. Those greedy bastards..."

"I'll go kick his ass!" With that, she was about to walk away. I was surprised that 'Demon-like Judge of Fire' incarnation had such vulgar language.

"That won't work."

"We can beat them if we join forces! Remember Geumho Station?"

I did not remember Geumho Station. As she was activating her skill, [Time of Judgement], the Constellations of Good were silent, so the skill was canceled. "Huh? What's this? Is it broken? Why isn't the skill activating? Gong Pildu and his gang are definitely evil."

Dear, it in fact, is not broken. The Constellations just don't want her to use it because the people weren't evil, simple.

"That's only from our perspective." Kim Dokja replied.

"What are you..."

"I'm saying that the standards of morality that we humans abide by may be different from that of the Constellations'." All the while, Lee Hyunsung was quietly watching, a look that I recognised many times in his eyes. It was that look when he was either thinking or questioning life. The other two people were also listening. "Justice, in most cases, is just something that is agreed by the majority."

[Constellation 'One who Knows All' is contented with the explanation.]

"How can that...?"

"But there must be a way."

"Sorry?"

"It won't be easy, but there might be a way we can defeat Gong Pildu."

"What is it?"

"We have to lure Gong Pildu out of his militarised zone."

Brilliant. Easier said than done.

"His stigma, [Militarised Zone], is an optimal defence skill, but it will only work in specific areas that he has designated. His turrets will be useless if he leaves his area of effect, but it won't be easy to lure him out. He has blankets, food and even a chamber pot. He's practically staging a sit-in. What's so special about that place? It's the biggest room in Chungmuro." Kim Dokja explained.

"Rooms?"

By the time the woman had asked that, I was zoned out, focusing on background incarnations, like the one in a Green Zone holding a knife. "S-Shit! Don't come near me!"

"Let's worry about Gong Pildu later. We should also start looking for a room." Kim Dokja frowned slightly.

Just then, Bihyung appeared once more in a flash. "Well well! Let's begin the third day of the main scenario, hm? I see some new faces here! Aren't you all excited? Hahahahaha!"

[A few Constellations nod in agreement.]

Bihyung's fingers snapped, and the blue holographic window popped up in front of all incarnations at the station.

Good luck, Incarnations.
