tbh before he got a tape, he was in the village AND let his cousin (aka an Outsider) go there, right? So maybe that's what the villager was trying to say. Maybe they'll even need Badas NPC role for something...
The cousin part was a lie made up by Seongchan and ml right? That’s why he had no luggage. His role was to tell them to leave. Seongchan and ML kidnapped him into playing the game indefinitely after realizing he was great at the game.
What if bada is the original killer of the village /harbinger and is the one that started the ritual in the first place. That would be crazy.
