Chapter 45

**Future War (3)** is the forty-fifth chapter of Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint.

## Summary

Kim Dokja is surprised at the early emergence of people from other stations and listens to their conversation as they approach the platform. He approaches the platform edge, with Lee Hyunsung, Jung Heewon, and Yoo Sangah following him, ready for a fight. As the other group appears, one of them asks for everyone to lower their weapons and introduces himself as Kang Ilhun, leader of the Dongdaemun group. Kim Dokja checks him with [Character List] and talks with him, learning that Kang Ilhun wants to form an alliance with Chungmuro. Upon receiving a wary response, he adds that if they'd wanted to attack, they'd have brought their own representative to steal Chungmuro's flag, and reveals that Main Scenario 4 has already been in progress for 2 days, with Chungmuro joining in late. Kim Dokja acknowledges that the offer of information and allyship is tempting, but Yoo Sangah points out that they could have allied with someone else who had more power to offer. Kang Ilhun is startled by her insight and claims that all the other stations have already formed their own alliances, and that Dongdaemun has a "winning strategy" they are willing to share.

Kim Dokja and his party withdraws, discussing the offer. They acknowledge that they shouldn't trust Kang Ilhun's group so easily, but they should try and get information from them. Kim Dokja proposes a strategy, which they follow through with, telling Kang Ilhun that they will make a decision once they have met Dongdaemun's actual representative. Kang Ilhun informs them that the representative is back at the station, and offers to guide them through the tunnels. Kim Dokja accepts, and with one final command for Gong Pildu to protect Lee Gilyoung and Chungmuro, the party goes with the Dongdaemun group, riding on the backs of their bikes.

Partway through the tunnels, Kim Dokja asks Kang Ilhun if he's heard rumors of a man called Yoo Joonghyuk at Chungmuro, and at his signal, Yoo Sangah uses her stigma to bind the Dongdaemun group members and pull her own party out of the way. Kim Dokja reveals he knows about the people waiting in the tunnels, and Kang Ilhun panics, ordering his hidden men to attack. However, Jung Heewon's [Hour of Judgement] allows her to effortlessly take out all 10 people singlehandedly. As Kim Dokja handles Kang Ilhun, Lee Hyunsung alerts him to a commotion back at Chungmuro. The party rushes back to find another group, coming from Myeongdong attacking the people on the platform. Someone notices that they have the weapons and items of the five Chungmuro people who left earlier, presumably having killed and stolen from them. Kim Dokja identifies one individual, wearing a red flag as a bandana, as the representative of his group.
