episode_0032

Light shines from the monster.

It felt as if something dark red was oozing blood. No, maybe it was actually oozing blood.

My legs are shaking.

I felt like I had lost some energy and could barely stand up properly. I suddenly began to regret not having come here to eat the hidden piece.

I came here to find out I was annoyed.

‘Fuck.’

The sense of pain slowly rose. I couldn’t scream because of the crazy pain. I couldn’t even struggle. I didn’t like the current situation in many ways.

Thud, I collapsed on the spot. But I kept my head up and kept looking at the monster to see what had happened. I couldn’t just faint.

If anything happens to move, I have to do something about it.

Because Lee Ji-hye, who has collapsed now, can’t do anything.

─A beeping sound lingered in my ears. I could understand that my condition was not normal.

‘Fuck.’

I gritted my teeth.

It felt like I would lose consciousness any moment now, but I held on as long as I could. Even if I had to die, I wanted to make sure I was okay.

Of course, I was sure I wouldn’t die because I knew my physical condition, but I still made that promise.

‘If you’re coming, come quickly.’

It’s hard to hold on.

Without being able to make a sound, he continued to point his gun at the monster. As time passed, the monster seemed to have become numb to the pain, and smoke rose from its body.

In the original, it was said that there was smoke and that he died for sure, so he was killed accurately. Only then could I feel relieved.

It’s finally over.

My vision started to spin as I relaxed. It was blurry and I couldn’t see clearly.

‘Oh, I used too much mana.’

I used up all my mana thinking that if I failed once, it would be over. As a result, I am currently feeling a deep sense of death.

Of course, since it only uses mana, you won’t die. You’ll just experience sudden, intense pain.

Other than that, it was okay, except there was a risk of passing out.

‘Oh, that’s right. Lee Ji-hye.’

Come to think of it, I wonder if Lee Ji-hye is okay? She must be having a hard time too.

I’m a little worried.

“Hey, Lee Ji-hye, are you okay… … ?”

Oh, shit.

I can’t even speak properly.

The moment I turned my body to check on Lee Ji-hye, I lost consciousness.

*

The air is quite chilly.

Lee Ji-hye is lying down. She is almost collapsed because she has used up so much energy. She would not have acted like this under normal circumstances, but she moved to survive. Once she actually did it, it was not such a regrettable action.

The feeling of ease came back even more intensely when I was resting, as all my strength was gone.

‘I feel refreshed for some reason.’

Try moving your body slowly.

I’m starting to feel better. I’ll be able to move soon.

Then, he slowly looked at Kim Seo-jin and the corpse of the monster next to him. No one moved and there was no sign of movement.

It makes me feel uneasy that Kim Seo-jin might be in danger.

Although there is no blood, the fact that he suddenly fainted is worrying. That is why he tries to move his body a little hastily.

‘Why worry about others when you’ve already fallen?’

But apart from that, Kim Seo-jin was worried about Lee Ji-hye. He asked himself if she was okay. Of course, it was true that she looked even more miserable, but it was really amazing that she was worried about others.

It’s really surprising that even these parts are similar.

He resembles Yoo Soo-ho, who cares about others more than himself.

‘This is truly amazing.’

Lee Ji-hye slowly moved her body while thinking about that. Her body finally started to move. Fortunately, there was no major problem, and after checking her condition, Lee Ji-hye immediately approached Kim Seo-jin.

Lee Ji-hye approached Kim Seo-jin and pulled her into her body just in case. While holding her, she checked her condition as much as possible to make sure there were no problems.

“Whew.”

Fortunately, there were no problems.

I was anxious because I didn’t know what to do if something happened, but I felt relieved.

“So, can I go out now?”

Or should it still remain?

Lee Ji-hye continues to hold Kim Seo-jin while thinking about such things. She keeps holding him to the point where she doesn’t even notice, but she doesn’t notice because she’s comfortable.

“For now, let’s just stay.”

The choice is left to Kim Seo-jin.

That’s why Lee Ji-hye decided to stay like this, no matter how long it took.

*

Consciousness gradually returns.

“Ugh, what the fuck.”

In an instant, I opened my eyes and swore naturally. I was momentarily surprised by the swear words that came out naturally, but at the same time, I had a hard time grasping the situation I was in.

What’s going on now?

I moved my body for a moment. It felt like I wasn’t moving properly.

My fingers wouldn’t listen to me. It was frustrating and somewhat scary. It was hard to understand properly.

What the heck is this?

After a while, a voice was heard from somewhere.

“Oh, you’re awake?”

At that moment, I realized what state I was in.

Right now, I’m in Lee Ji-hye’s arms. I don’t know why, but I’m sure it’s cozy.

To that extent, I feel comfortable.

No, that won’t do.

“Oh, yeah.”

“Thank goodness. I was worried that something might have gone wrong when you suddenly collapsed.”

Were you worried?

Well, I guess anyone would be worried if a perfectly fine person fainted without any reaction. I felt bad about that, so I decided to apologize.

“Sorry for the inconvenience.”

It must have been very nerve-wracking.

Of course, Lee Ji-hye has the cold judgment to throw away things that are useless, but that doesn’t mean she’s a psychopath.

In everyday life, he was described as a good kid who cared about others.

She’s not enjoying it, she’s just making the best choice for herself.

If you think about it.

“But what is this now?”

That’s enough of the apology.

What the heck is this? Why are you holding me?

“What?”

“No, this is it. Why are you holding me?”

I was really curious.

Do you know what kind of doll I am?

“Ah.”

Lee Ji-hye let out a gasp as if she had finally figured it out. Then, she turned her head away from me, perhaps feeling slightly embarrassed.

What are you doing?

“That, that. I was checking how your body was, and it was like this all along.”

I guess I acted without realizing it. Because of that, I feel a little embarrassed.

“Then, can you let me go now?”

“Yeah, yeah. Okay. ”

Lee Ji-hye fell off me. Only then did my body, which had finally gained freedom, decide to move slowly. It felt stiff and stuffy, but I didn’t feel any pain.

If I was still sick, I would definitely have something wrong with my body, but that wasn’t the case, so I was a little relieved. With this, all dangerous situations were resolved.

For a moment I looked around. There were boulders everywhere, and the wall itself looked like it might collapse at any moment.

It’s dangerous to stay here any longer.

I quickly stood up, holding the sword next to me.

Now let’s quickly examine the monster’s body. There will definitely be some good stuff from the original.

Whether it’s me or Lee Ji-hye, we have to take it out first.

I ran straight towards the monster’s corpse.

Then he immediately knelt down and began to examine it.

“What are you doing?”

Lee Ji-hye questions my sudden behavior. I hesitated for a moment about what to say and then opened my mouth.

“There’s something really good in the monster’s body. So I’m trying to get it out.”

“Really? Should I help you?”

“It’s okay. It’s dangerous if you touch something strange.”

Actually, Yoo Seo-ra said that it would have been dangerous if she had touched another place directly. At least I know the original information, so I am somewhat safe, but since she is not Lee Ji-hye, I decided to drop her.

Lee Ji-hye nodded as if she understood what I said.

I just keep looking at the monster’s corpse.

I couldn’t touch it properly because I was a little anxious. I thought it would stay like this forever. I took a deep breath and decided to move boldly.

‘Definitely towards the heart.’

I felt around and found a place that seemed to be the heart. I used my mana to feel around that area.

Then, slowly but strongly infuse mana into it.

‘Okay.’

Aimed very precisely at the heart.

As I put it in as I had intended, the monster’s corpse began to melt. Smoke rose up, giving the impression of it being burned by fire.

But strangely, I don’t feel any heat, which gives me a strange feeling.

Everything unfolded exactly as in the original.

‘thank god.’

I was also worried that something that wasn’t in the original might happen. I was actually preparing myself for the possibility that things might move in a direction that wasn’t in the original.

I still can’t let my guard down, but I’m starting to feel more at ease.

Smoke continues to billow out, and the monster’s flesh gradually disappears. If this continues, only bones will remain, and then I will be able to obtain its heart as I wish.

From what I remember, the bastard’s heart is also very good, and the reason is that if processed, it can be made into good equipment.

At least that’s what Yusera, who took it, said.

Anyway, there was something else besides that. For example, there was a piece of paper that had instructions on how to get out and how to get in.

Thanks to that, I was able to come here easily.

I don’t care because they are information I already know anyway. So I just keep waiting.

“What is this?”

Lee Ji-hye came toward me and said.

“It’s just the flesh evaporating. Just understand it like that.”

When I said that with a smile, Lee Ji-hye tilted her head. It seemed like she didn’t really understand what I meant.

“Just wait for a moment.”

I answered in a light tone. I didn’t want to bother explaining it further.

Anyway, time will explain it.

After some time, I could finally see that all the monster’s flesh had evaporated. I immediately bent down with joy and took the heart.

This is enough. I can sell it and eat it, or give it to someone as a gift.

Whatever it was, it was the best thing for me.

While he was laughing like that, Lee Ji-hye approached him from the side.

“What is that?”

“The heart of a monster. As I mentioned earlier, it’s a good item and can be used quite usefully, so know that.”

Lee Ji-hye looked around, as if she still didn’t understand properly. Then she found the paper and went straight to it.

“What is this?”

“You’ll understand when you read it.”

I didn’t want to bother answering, so I just said something vague.

Honestly, I like imagining what I can do with this more than anything else. Apparently, Yusera said there would be a lot of things I could make with this. And at the same time, she said there was a high chance that it would have effects, so what would be good?

Because in the original, Yoo Seo-ra just took it.

I’m not sure how I would use it. I think I’d just give it to another major character as a gift?

As I continued to think like that, words I shouldn’t have heard came out.

“Mashinkyo? What is that?”

Masinism.

A group that Lee Ji-hye didn’t know about at the time because it wasn’t yet time for them to be active.

For some reason, it was mentioned by Lee Ji-hye. At that moment, my thoughts stopped. I couldn’t even focus properly.

After a while, I approached Lee Ji-hye.

“What, what is it?”

Although Lee Ji-hye was embarrassed by my actions, I didn’t care. On the contrary, I rudely took away the paper she was reading.

And then I read it right away.

“Mashinkyo”

The first thing you see is the word Masin-kyo.

“Oh, no way.”

Is this a place associated with the Masin Church?

More importantly, why is there a Masin religion on that piece of paper? It’s clearly information that wasn’t in the original. It’s certain because Seo Jae-hyuk read it and described it himself.

What’s the difference?

‘By doing it another way?’

I couldn’t think of anything else.

Certainly, it’s the most likely. Unlike the original, we properly defeated it using swords and drugs.

‘So the content has changed too?’

I can’t think of anything else besides that.

Whatever the case, I had to read this. It was information that wasn’t in the original, and I didn’t even know it was a will.

“What, what is it? What is it?”

Lee Ji-hye says something next to me.

But I can’t really pay attention to it. This is important to me.

So I read all the information on the paper. I read each and every thing carefully, even if it wasn’t important.

Only then will the information be available for use.

To summarize, it is like this.

It seems that Masinism had another purpose in the past.
