Chapter 4: The Tower That Was Built Collapsed

[Isn’t secretly digging up personal information crossing the line?]

[It’s not like there aren’t one or two small-time streamers who have quit like that, so why do those kinds of bastards always exist?]

[It’s a bit disgusting ㅇㅇ;;]

The direction of the viewers’ bowstrings turns from me to that person.

The point is changed from whether I am a man or a woman to whether that person stalked me or not.

Normally, in this situation, it would be normal to try to resolve the suspicion about me first, no matter what I say.

But the tower I’ve built up so far has become a breakwater in this moment of crisis.

The fact that I have never broken a promise with viewers unless it was an unavoidable situation at the level of a natural disaster.

No matter how unreasonable the promise was, I somehow fulfilled it if it was a promise with the viewers, and the fact that I had been compensating for any promises that I inevitably couldn’t keep and continuing the broadcast protected me.

Here, one more clear fact is added.

Among the cases where netkamas were caught recently, the only well-known ones are the streamer called That Rabbit and the YouTuber called That Vegetable.

However, it is so common that it is no exaggeration to say that there is one small-time streamer who quits broadcasting every day due to stealing personal information and stalking.

And in that way

Viewers who have sent away the streamer they loved find another small-time streamer and settle down.

That’s how the world of small-time streamers who are not mainstream works, and a significant number of viewers living in this world have had the experience of sending away a streamer.

Therefore, rather than the netkama suspicion thrown by an anonymous informant who is no one

[So who is that person? When I think about it, they just talked a lot, but they don’t have any evidence.]

[Who can’t just talk ㅋㅋ]

[Hey, I actually had a fight with Hiro yesterday.]

[Are you crazy?]

[Oh, why ㅋㅋㅋ If you’re going to believe that bastard, believe me too ㅋㅋㅋㅋ]

They have no choice but to react more sensitively to the stalking suspicion raised by the streamer they love.

Moreover, my broadcast was an even more severe broadcast.

A stagnant remote island where viewers have known each other to some extent for over a year because the broadcast has not grown or deteriorated.

I strongly prevented friendship between viewers, but viewers who had been together at the same time and place every day felt a subtle sense of solidarity.

Like the strange familiarity between people who face each other every day on the bus during rush hour.

Therefore, they show a strong sense of vigilance against people they don’t know.

Viewers who reject impurities that cannot be mixed.

This solidified viewer base often hinders the growth of the broadcast.

But in the streamer’s crisis situation, they show blind faith and support.

Of course, since the truth is that I am a netkama, I couldn’t respond to people’s beliefs.

But anyway, I bought time.

I have to find a way to get out of this crisis while the viewers are interrogating that person who was identified as a stalker.

If that side comes to a conclusion in any way, the bowstring will turn back to me.

I desperately racked my brains, pretending to stop the viewers who were making excessively graphic criticisms.

What do I have?

I quickly rummaged through my wallet.

And I found it.

A fake resident registration card that I made in case of the previous witch hunt.

This alone is not enough evidence, but if this is a situation where one person is being mocked for stealing personal information, even if I cover the photo on the resident registration card and show it, it will be difficult to investigate further.

Then I have to move now.

Presenting evidence first while the atmosphere is still overheated.

That was the way out I came up with.

There is no time to hesitate.

Having found a way out, I immediately put it into action.

First, calm people down first.

“Everyone, even so, Hiro is in trouble if you make too graphic criticisms…”

[ㅇㅇ Let’s refrain from criticizing.]

[Okay…]

[But where did that bastard go?? Did he run away? There’s no word.]

[At this point, it seems like he ran away.]

I raise the issue first.

“But Hiro thinks it’s a situation where you can be suspicious.”

And I mix it with the current situation.

“But as you know, I’m very afraid of my personal information being revealed. So…”

I create a reason why the evidence may be insufficient.

“I’ll only show you my ID. It’s okay to cover the photo, right?”

When I said I would show evidence that I was a woman first, people welcomed it.

[Okay okay, authenticate only the first digit after the resident registration number ㄱㄱ]

“If I take a picture and upload it, you can manipulate it, so I’ll turn on the hand cam and show it!”

[Oh, I’ll see Hiro-nim’s hand for the first time in a while.]

[I want to hold hands with Hiro-nim]

“But since I don’t usually use the camera, it’ll take a while to install it. So please wait a little while!”

[Okay okay]

[ㅇㅇ]

[Take your time]

Good.

The atmosphere is that it’s enough to authenticate the ID.

Looking at the viewers who were so easily convinced, I wondered if the person who interrogated me would have been satisfied with just an ID authentication.

No.

If I had authenticated the ID first, there was a good chance that they would have asked me to authenticate my face too.

The fact that they are convinced with this level of authentication is only because I was in a situation where my personal information was stolen.

Isn’t the fact that I had a good enough reason to hide my personal information the reason why I was able to reach this way out?

I erased the sorry feeling from my heart.

Anyway, the fact that that person investigated my personal information is true.

Whether I’m lying or not, the fact that they stole my personal information is a completely separate issue, so I’m just investigating it.

There’s no need to be sorry.

While convincing myself and installing the camera,

【… Donation!!】

A chilling sound was heard.

With a bad feeling, I raised my head and looked at the screen of the broadcast transmission program.

The letters on the screen were the same as before, but they were different from before.

【Muren-nim 님 1,000 won donation!!】

The name of the person who donated changed from OO-nim to Muren-nim.

The person who hadn’t made any excuses or rebuttals for a while donated again and revealed who they were to everyone.

A declaration that they will no longer hide.

Muren-nim planted a flag declaring war on the ground and said in front of everyone.

【You asked me to reveal who I am, so I will say my nickname and say it.】

[Huh?]

[?]

[???]

[What]

One of the oldest viewers set out to snipe the streamer.

The chat window began to stir just by that fact alone.

【Muren-nim 1,000 won donation!!】

【I am a viewer who runs a small store called Waffle Plus Shop. You can find it by searching on the map app.】

Waffle Plus Shop.

It was definitely a waffle shop in my neighborhood.

The store where a muscular boss handed me a waffle in a small waffle shop.

Cold sweat began to flow all over my body.

“Wait a minute!! You can’t just say the location of where I live like that!!”

I desperately tried to stop it because my personal information was coming out as it was.

[What, so it’s true that you’re in the same neighborhood?]

It didn’t take long to realize that it was a mistake.
