The Maknae Has to Be an Idol

Chapter 165

The truck driver looked at me in shock. He stared at me wide-eyed and began to step backward. Yet, I had no intention of letting this man go and clutched the drivers wrist before he could escape.

AhAhhh! Truthfully, there was something that I wanted to do to him since I saw him in the courthouse in my past life. And now, we were in the mountains, there were no pedestrians here, and things like CCTV didnt exist in this place.

You fucking bastard This bastards drunk driving caused all my members to die. Yeon-Hoon was unable to wake up and my life went to hell. Yet, this guy wanted to salvage his life in the end and kept tainting our name without hesitation.

Im sorry Though the man apologized to me out of the blue, I swung a punch at his face instead of answering. Though the man appeared shocked about the punch he received, that was none of my concern. I clutched the back of the mans neck. Then, while he was on the ground, I got on top and pounded on him relentlessly.

Gasp! "UhLets talkit out!

It was a rage that I couldnt calm no matter how much I hit him. I knew that I wouldnt feel comforted nor the pain of my members deaths in my past life would lessen by continuing to attack this man. I could never forget and above all, forgive this man.

Imsorry The man gave up on even resisting and I let down my fist. I got up from my spot and looked down at the man while pressing my feet down on the mans neck in case he tried to escape.

You are the bastard who made an accident five months ago, right?

The man didnt answer and gasped for his breath.

Press. I pressed my feet on his neck harder.

Gasp! The man glared at me with bloodshot eyes and tried to protect his neck, but it was meaningless.

Answer. It was you. I wanted to stop this meaningless questioning. I didnt want him to act clueless when I already knew everything.

Yes, you are right It seemed the truck driver was willing to speak now. I pulled my weight off slightly so that he could breathe.

The news said you went missing. Where have you been?

I went around back and forth from this mountainand a private house and hid

Why did you hide? Were you afraid of having to pay for the accident?

Nothats not it The man hesitated to answer and rolled his pupils. It seemed there was something that was holding him back. In my past life, this man had obediently gone to the court. Of course, he was charged with a whole different level of crime from this life because his actions had resulted in the death of several people then.

Even this time, if the police had caught him in the end, he couldve quietly gone to the court for trial. But there was something strange about all this. The people who had stood as witnesses to this man in my past life all gave the same testimony. It was that after the accident, they saw the driver running away from the scene like a madman.

Furthermore, there was no way a sane person would hide like this for five months. Rather they had to pay for the accident or not, they would return to normal society. Thus, there were only a couple of possible reasons why this man wouldve gone for such a route, and I asked the most probable reason among them.

Did you run away because you heard something strange inside your head?

Sorry?

Perhaps, he heard the systems voice like me. It was likely in a different way since I wasnt driven to madness like this man. I thought it was possible that there could be two systems. There was a system that rang in my ears and another that rang in this mans ears.

How did you know? The man looked at me in shock. Though he had looked at me like a monster just before, he stared at me like I was some savior.

Crunch! His look annoyed me and I stepped on his neck again. The man looked up at me with bloodshot eyes and scratched at my ankles. I thought we wouldnt be able to converse any longer if I put any more force than this and slowly loosened up my strength.

Dont attempt to converse with me and just answer the questions I ask you.

I began to hear strange voices since the day of the accident It seemed the man finally realized the situation he was in. It kept telling me to get on a car and kill people

What?

It said I had to kill someoneIt really drove me crazyI wanted it to stop butahah

Who did it tell you to kill?

I also donthuh?

It was then the mans gaze changed. As if he had received some kind of prophecy, he stopped his actions and looked up at me with a deep smile. I flinched and felt chills run down my back. All my instincts were telling me to run away.

It was telling me to kill you.

It all happened in an instant. In the moment when my body was frozen in fear, the mood shifted. The man clutched my ankle hard. Before, I wouldve been able to easily shake him off.

But how he is suddenly so strong!

The man raised my ankle and pushed it off. His strength seemed to have increased at least two times more than before, and noticeable veins popped out from his wrists, ankles, neck, and stomach. It looked as if he drawing up more strength than his body was capable of enduring.

Where are your members? His voice also changed. His expression and tone were completely different than before, and the truck driver got on top of me and began to choke me.

Youcrazy bastard! I tried with all my might to push him off, but it was futile. His strength seemed to surpass an ordinary human far now. As my consciousness began to wade, I recalled what Yeon-Hoon told me.

Why did you tell me to go to the very beginningYeon-Hoon? When Yeon-Hoon told me to go back to the beginning, did he know that I would go to see this truck driver again? Did he send me despite knowing that or did he send me here without knowing it?

I needed to meet him! It was then, that I became certain. Yeon-Hoon intended to send me to this place. He told me that I couldnt achieve what I wanted by completing the missions that the system gave me.

In other words, I couldnt wait. I couldnt just obediently accept the missions the system gave me. I needed to draw out the system myself and clash against it head-to-head. This man wanted me dead. Rather than this mans will, it was probably more accurate to say that was what the will of the other system ringing in this mans head wanted.

Perhaps, this mans mission could be to kill me and the rest of my team members. Then, I wondered who would be in the worst predicament in this situation. If I thought about the bigger picture of things, it was the system ringing in myhead.

This system continued to give out missions that led to my teams success. In short, its will was for us to succeed. Yet, what would happen if I strayed away from the route the system was setting up for us and died in the hands of someone I shouldnt meet the most? What would it do then?

Would everything end just like that? I wondered what kind of deal was waiting for me.

[Surprise Mission]

[Escape the truck driver.]

[Upon Success, survival.]

[Upon Failure, death.]

Perhaps, it had been in such a hurry, but the system gave me a mission that made little effort in the success rewards and punishment for failure. My consciousness began to fade. I would die at this rate.

[Surprise Mission]

[Escape the truck driver.]

[Upon Success, receive control over Future Precognition.]

[Upon Failure, death.]

Perhaps, it was pushing me to try harder by improving my rewards for success. But I wondered what I could do while my neck was getting choked.

Haaa! I felt oxygen deplete from my lungs.

[Surprise Mission]

[Accept your reward.]

[Upon Success, receive full control over Insight.]

[Upon Failure, death of all Siren members.]

The system offered me the greatest aid it could possibly give me: a mission to accept a reward. This just meant that it was giving me a reward, which was full control over Insight. And if I completed this mission, I could use the Insight that I had limited control over as freely as I wished.

Accept.

Ziiing! A much stronger Insight than before was activated, and time slowed down about a hundred times. I wondered what would happen if I gained full control over Insight before, but this was crazyI could not read the truck drivers mind.

I have to killkillkill

It was clear that this man had every intention to kill me. Furthermore, this strengthened Insight had more abilities than I thought.

Get off me. One was the ability to command the other party one-sidedly. The truck drivers eyes widened. He seemed astounded by the order ringing inside his brain.

Get off?

He wondered.

Kill

Then, he returned to his original thought.

Back off. I repeated while looking into the truck drivers eyes again.

Slide. The fingers that had been gripping my neck began to fall off one by one. I could breathe again, and my Insight ended.

Ziing!

Ha! Haa! I inhaled deeply to make up for the lack of air in my lungs. My head felt like it was spinning.

AhAh, ah! The truck driver stared at me blankly. Perhaps, he had finally gained his senses now, and he looked at me like he had no idea what he did.

Ahhh! The truck drivers arms limply fell to his sides. Perhaps, it was because he had drawn up more strength than his body wouldve normally allowed, his arms drooped to his sides and he couldnt lift a finger.

His arms are all red. It looked like all his blood vessels had burst and his muscles ripped. I stared at the man again.

Ziiing! I activated my Insight again. Unlike before, the man had lost all will to fight.

Piss off. Perhaps, because of that, the man immediately followed my order. Like a person under an enchantment, he moved down the mountain. After making sure that the man was out of my sight, I finally sighed in relief and lay on the floor. Rather than just sending the man off like that, I thought it might have been better to try to collect some more useful information.

ButI think I shouldrest a bit I almost died twice today. Before noon, the second regressor tried to kill me and in the afternoon, the crazy truck driver tried to kill me. Though I just let him go today, I still gained quite a reward for coming all this way.

Ziiing! Now, I was able to use my Insight ability without a time restriction, and it was powerful enough for me to make commands with it.

The only negative is thatit makes my head hurt like crazy. My head rang as if I was going shoot out blood from my nostrils. I didnt think I could use this ability often and quickly released my Insight. Yet, this was small compared to the other progress I made: I found out that in this world, there was someone besides me who received missions from a system.

I didnt know if it was the same system that gave me missions, but the system had made a deal with me at a vital moment. That was the only time when I had the upper hand and authority instead of the system. Of course, I couldnt use this method often since I would have to keep risking my life, but this meant an increase in the options that I could take.

It felt good that there was a way for me to pay back the system after only being on the receiving end. I got up from my spot and checked the phone. The current time was 8 pm. If I got in the car right now and left, I would arrive in Seoul around 11 pm.

Damn it. The taxi was already gone by now and I had no driver's license. There were only two methods that I could take now. I could call Yeon-Hoon to come pick me up. If I chose this method, things could really escalate and become big.

The second method was to ask Ms. Seung-Yeon and Ms. Hyuna. If I talked it out well with them, I could keep things hidden but I felt sorry to bother people who were already off work. I was wondering what I should do when my phone suddenly vibrated.

Riing.

It was Kang Hyun-Sung.

? I suddenly had a third option now.
