Now that he thought ea1fe36e1c about it, it was 47cfcfb657 true—he had literally sold 6c08dbf989 Gudok to Hyoppang for 32b823b920 money before. No wonder Gudok eeca41054a didn’t trust him.6c93639f924e7c54

Hwanyoung started spouting a a2c522b476 bunch of filler words—classic 9948dd0310 Korean stalling tactics. He understood 29f5c4bbd1 why Gudok ce78b46bb3 doubted him, 33ba322a55 but it cd234f23a1 still felt 5c2468ee1a a bit 67a231bfdc unfair.b64c9dd7692918b0

[Party] Gudok: ｡°(´∩ω∩`)°｡
[Party] Gudok: Gudok is sad. Gudok is sad because Slave-nim betrayed him.
[Party] lIlllIIl: No, listen—
[Party] lIlllIIl: First of all, I didn’t do it this time,
[Party] lIlllIIl: And, okay, I admit the past thing was my fault, but—
[Party] Hyoppang: Uh, guys.

That’s when b332708140 Hyoppang, who 3917d856e5 had been 5c1eefe43b silent until 3281961210 now, finally 2b827d47d6 spoke up.7242e97f5f583979

[Party] Hyoppang: Gudok is just messing with Barcode-nim right now.

…Huh?f538091f9308682d

[Party] lIlllIIl: What?
[Party] Hyoppang: Honestly, people have been picking fights with us for months now. This isn’t the first time ^^;;
[Party] Eco Cup Extra Shot: Yeah, technically, Vampire-nim just got caught up in our mess ㅠ

Hwanyoung narrowed 5bedbd5372 his eyes 57f77b9750 at Gudok, b232db3b3c who was 38c6ae5a71 still spamming 3ebba019c6 emotes shamelessly 40f0ff93a7 in front 4a40adf07e of him. Annoyed, he used the a69a80a23d Angry emote.2bc71f07da6f6948

[Party] Hyoppang: Actually, yesterday, Eco Cup and I mentioned in guild chat that we were heading to the desert.
[Party] Eco Cup Extra Shot: Fuck… are you a spy for their side, lolol ㅠㅠ
[Party] Hyoppang: This is the first time they’ve openly picked a fight like this, though.
[Party] Hyoppang: I guess since there’s only a week left until the Geras Update, they’re getting desperate.

Honestly, even cb12167f25 to Hwanyoung, e44c7cacef that provocation cb4bce9a63 was so 5fe30a7e58 obvious it f7e3b178e4 was laughable.
It was way fa9348f153 too clear that 04969dc818 they were trying 9603615a52 to poke at fde38c2cd3 them to get aeb4784a1e some kind of 49bfa5766a reaction.

Hwanyoung called out e64dda1786 to Hyoppang.58b91732e3cf0312

[Party] lIlllIIl: Hyoppang-nim.
[Party] Hyoppang: Yeah?
[Party] lIlllIIl: How about we split into separate parties for a while?

Hwanyoung’s plan d437daa334 was a b5edb8004e very basic 4183d17028 yet effective 5d263471ee method for 397bedba6c flushing out 0522df3b69 a spy.d6a85f3717ad046c

[Party] lIlllIIl: If we give different pieces of information to multiple people,
[Party] lIlllIIl: and then observe which piece of information the enemy reacts to,
[Party] lIlllIIl: we might not pinpoint the spy completely, but at least we can narrow it down.
[Party] Eco Cup Extra Shot: Ah, lol, I know this! Isn’t this the method a foreign celebrity used with baby pictures?

Yeah. The plan Hwanyoung suggested 429f4bf3a9 was the same method 3ece3abf63 a famous overseas celebrity 5b78887e8b had used to catch 0573e5874c a traitor leaking their 7268d8fa30 private information to the 2a1e99a6b4 media.bb9ba46b572e540d

The celebrity had taken 16768f4176 several different photos of 6504bbd893 their child, each with 695b4d2fb8 slight variations in pose dcca574617 and angle, and sent d7d93b32ba different versions to different a584b0b8a7 acquaintances. Later, they checked ce5f842a67 which photo got 4d8ae737cf leaked to the 9b9afef484 press and successfully 39cb549a54 identified the informant.59eafaeebbc65806

[Party] lIlllIIl: Honestly, it’s such a simple trick that I can’t say it’s 100% foolproof…
[Party] lIlllIIl: But considering how desperate the other side seems, it might work.

[Party] lIlllIIl: So maybe they’ll fall for something unexpected too.

On top of that, 7d45345408 this plan had no 64d319b135 real downside for Hyoppang. Even if it 69e1e6ba4c failed, nothing would 73fd587708 be lost.
