Chapter 90

Park Jin-ha finally burst into loud tears.

He was whining like a little brat.

‘What a sight.’

The inside of the bar quickly fell silent.

Only the sound of Park Jin-ha sniffling echoed.

After a while.

People started murmuring to each other to figure out what was going on.

“What’s going on? What happened?”

“I don’t know. He suddenly started crying.”

“Why is he crying?”

“I don’t know either.”

Soon, everyone’s attention was focused on him.

Some women even tried to comfort Park Jin-ha.

And.

The reason why Park Jin-ha was crying.

His viewers explained it through voice donations.

As I listened to the explanation.

My viewers reacted with disbelief.

【Gyeongsaeng Guburi】─Don’t slander our Gyesekkihoon, you bastards!

【Yoho】─Don’t slander without evidence!

【Min Ji】─Huh? He greeted me warmly earlier, why is he acting like this now? I don’t get it…

【Qkrnfl892】─Se-hoon isn’t the type to bully weak kids.

【Reverse Rape Mania】─Acting like you know Se-hoon. Nah.

【Reverse Rape Mania】─But I think the same.

【Big Girl】─Even if he hit him, it probably wasn’t one-sided violence. Maybe they just fought?

【Gyeongsaeng Guburi】─For real, he’s not a school bully, they just fought. -_-

【Handsome Licker】─Doesn’t that bastard’s crying seem like acting?

【Jujijoa】─It is acting. I saw his lip corner twitch for 0.1 seconds.

【Drifting AI】─I will speak. I will arrange reverse rape.

【Reverse Rape Mania】─?

【Drifting AI】─I will arrange reverse trolling. Please wait a moment.

【Maehwa Tree】─If Se-hoon hit him, he wouldn’t be alive.

【Balloon Gum Collector】─Se-hoon, refute this quickly. -_-

【Maid】─Refute it!

“Hmm…”

When you think about it.

Everything Park Jin-ha’s viewers said was true.

I really did hit Park Jin-ha.

But I don’t consider it school violence.

And I definitely didn’t bully weaker students.

This was a conclusion drawn from an objective perspective.

Through illusions.

I also experienced being on the receiving end.

Excluding the memories of this world.

I also looked at it from the perspective of my previous self, ‘Gye Se-hoon.’

‘That crazy bastard probably left out what he did and only talked about getting hit.’

What happened back then wasn’t school violence.

It was an act to save students who were being bullied.

So, I have no intention of apologizing to him.

‘If I had hit an innocent student, I would kneel and apologize… But in this world, I didn’t use violence against the weak.’

Ah, of course, it was the same in the previous world.

‘The true me’ fought a lot.

And was a crazy bastard who cursed at anyone, but I never bullied the weak.

When I fought.

It was mostly because the other party started it.

‘When I started fights, there was always a reason… I guess.’

Anyway.

Excluding verbal abuse.

I can stand tall regarding the physical violence.

So I answered like this.

“I hit you because you deserved it. What are you whining about as if you did something good?”

I didn’t make any lame excuses.

Because I’m confident.

“And you and your friends started it, right? Fifty of you tried to gang up on me, and now you’re crying because you got beaten? You bastard?”

I added some curses.

The women were at a loss, looking around, and the men all started condemning me together.

“What fifty people? That’s a ridiculous excuse!”

“Hey, are you admitting to school violence now?”

“Apologize right now!”

“How can someone be so shameless?”

“Even my viewers are going crazy telling you to apologize! Apologize now!”

There was no one on my side among the men.

…No, there was exactly one.

“Hey! They tried to gang up on him first! How is this school violence? It’s just self-defense! The real school bully is that guy over there!”

Kwaehwal Namsu stepped forward and spoke loudly and logically.

His size.

He was just a solid presence.

The intense back-and-forth between Kwaehwal Namsu and the other male broadcasters continued.

The male broadcasters acted as if they were the victims, criticizing and demanding an apology from me.

Kwaehwal Namsu stood firm against them.

The women were still silent.

Just like spectators.

‘The atmosphere is getting too heated. There might be a fight, so I should loosen up.’

Just as I was thinking that.

Zzzzzzz-

A creepy mechanical sound came from somewhere.

“Huh? Why is my broadcast screen like this?”

“Mine too, suddenly there’s a weird screen…”

All the electronic devices in the bar stopped working.

And soon after,

<I will speak. I say hello.>

A familiar writing style popped up on the phone.

Looking around,

Tablet menus, TVs, and other electronic devices were all hacked.

‘This can’t be…’

I had a rough idea of who did it.

The skilled hacker viewer of my broadcast.

It had to be Drifting AI.

Only Drifting would use such a ridiculous tone.

‘Is this also hacking? How skilled is this guy?’

Anyway.

After that greeting appeared on all the screens.

The screen switched, and the image of someone surprised and panicking was broadcasted.

[What, what’s this! Why did my phone suddenly do this? Huh? What’s this message? What kind of student was Gye Se-hoon during school? If you answer the interview, we’ll restore your phone. If you ignore it, we’ll blow up your phone…?]

Starting with that person.

Interviews of various people started flowing out.

Their faces were mosaicked.

[I don’t know! I wasn’t that close with him!]

[I don’t remember well. Sorry.]

[Se, Se-hoon? He was just quiet and liked to be alone.]

[Huh? Gye Se-hoon? Haven’t heard that name in a while. He was really handsome, but he always covered his face with his hair, which was a shame. Anyway, restore my phone quickly. Don’t hackers have anything better to do these days?]

[…What kind of student was Gye Se-hoon? Uh, well… Should I say he protected us from behind? He beat up the bullies to eradicate school violence…]

[I was saved by Se-hoon. If it weren’t for him, I would have killed myself long ago.]

[Was he a gangster? What nonsense. He wasn’t like that.]

[Wow. Can hackers do this these days? So cool. But what’s this timer?]

[I’ve never seen him fight.]

I don’t know how they got these interviews.

Maybe it’s just a fake video?

Just as I was wondering.

The interviews about me ended, and the screen switched again.

This time, it wasn’t an interview.

[Hey, you bastard! I told you to bring 500,000 won by today!]

A scene of Park Jin-ha beating up a student was shown.

The video quality was good, and the audio was clear.

‘There’s no way they could have gotten footage from back then… The angle doesn’t look like CCTV… Is it a fake video?’

This definitely seemed like a fake video.

But it was so well-made that it didn’t show any signs of being fake.

Anyway.

[Why don’t you have money? If you sell your body, money will come!]

Park Jin-ha’s misdeeds were continuously broadcasted.

Not just violence.

But also extortion and forcing people to do strange things. Everything.

“…When was that filmed?”

Seeing that, Park Jin-ha stupidly confessed.

Big head, small brain.

If he had just denied it, saying it was a fake video and he never did such things, at least some people would have believed him.

‘He’s not honest, just stupid.’

I looked at Park Jin-ha with pity.

Others also looked at him with contempt.

Park Jin-ha’s face turned pale.

He was trembling, rolling his eyes around.

And after looking around,

“Damn it!”

He grabbed his camera and ran out of the bar.

He was quick to run away.

***

What just happened was also broadcasted.

My viewers saw it.

And so did the viewers of other broadcasters.

‘But Park Jin-ha does nudity broadcasts, so this won’t really hurt him.’

Well, that doesn’t matter.

There’s something more important now.

“Hyun-soo, it’s okay.”

“No! You need to get an apology! Those guys also joined in and badmouthed you!”

Kwaehwal Namsu was heatedly demanding an apology from the male broadcasters who had criticized me.

That was the current issue.

‘How do I stop this… I don’t really want an apology.’

Those guys didn’t apologize at all.

Shamelessly,

They acted like since the truth came out, it’s fine.

We did nothing wrong.

But it didn’t matter.

They’re annoying bastards.

But in a way, they were just fooled by Park Jin-ha.

It’s easier to think of them as just stupid.

Of course, I was grateful that Kwaehwal Namsu was getting angry on my behalf.

‘I’m grateful, but… They don’t seem like they’re going to apologize, so it’s better to just ignore them.’

I’m getting tired.

I just want to eat.

So, as I was trying to calm Kwaehwal Namsu down again.

Zzzzzzz-!

Drifting started showing something on the screen again.

<I will speak. I will reveal the secret of broadcaster Rururu.>

Evidence of providing sexual favors to platform executives.

<I will speak. I will reveal the secret of broadcaster Bbumin.>

Evidence of drug use.

<I will speak. I will reveal the secret of broadcaster...>

Evidence of hit-and-run and corpse disposal.

<I will...>

Etc.

The dirty secrets of the male broadcasters here were being revealed one by one.

<I will speak. Broadcaster Kwaehwal Namsu...>

<I will spare you. That's all.>

Drifting’s massacre finally ended after 20 minutes.
