episode_0039

The sight of a mouth popping out of a book that was clearly made of human skin and the mouth screaming was enough to make my whole body stiffen.

“what!?”

“Seo, the Bible has been opened!”

“Who on earth!?”

“It unfolded on its own!”

“Is this really a revelation from God? Worship everyone! Praise God!”

“Oh my god…!”

While we were frozen, the fanatics, who were looking at the exploded doors and walls, came running in with a gasp after hearing a bizarre scream, and when they saw the open book, they started pounding their foreheads on the floor in despair.

“Kkkk!!”

“Oh, it’s noisy!”

“Squeeze! Clue! Clue!”

When Retel, frowning, pointed with his finger, the muzzle that had been crying so hard closed tightly and began to tremble.

I felt no special abnormalities in my body or mind.

It really seems like it’s just a loud scream.

“Hangil. Don’t you think that the crying paper is talking about this?”

“Oh, yeah. Maybe?”

I answered without confidence and looked through the leather book.

“But this, you have to tear it up and take it, right?”

“I guess so. It says to bring paper, not a book.”

“…Can I ask you a favor? Letel.”

“Ahaha. What is it? Are you scared?”

I was momentarily enraged by the eyes that were looking at me with a wicked smile, but even so, it took too much courage to tear open a chunk of leather that was quivering and quivering as if it were alive.

“You’re not going to do it with your hands anyway. Isn’t it because we were scared of each other?”

“…Sheesh. It’s not fun.”

Boom! Squeak!

As she grumbled and waved her finger, the entire page with the mouth on it was torn off.

Grumble!

“Ugh…!”

Strangely enough, blood flowed out.

Is this book really alive?

“Huh!? The Bible was torn!?”

“What on earth happened…what kind of revelation would our god make such a sacrifice…!?”

The fanatics who saw the leather paper being completely torn apart murmured in surprise.

I couldn’t make out their expressions because they all had masks on their faces, but I could feel how embarrassed they were just from the sounds I heard.

By the way, sacrifice is an overly grandiose word.

Or does this book really have some connection with their god?

“Let’s go. I don’t want to be here anymore.”

“Oh, yes. Me too.”

Regardless of what noises were heard around him, Retel looked towards the exit and made a gesture, and the floating body moved in that direction on its own.

“Well, the pages of the Bible are gone!”

“What on earth is going on? An axis of the Bible has disappeared!? Is this not revelation but divine punishment? Is God withholding His blessings because He doesn’t think we deserve it!?”

Below, the humans in an uproar began to talk noisily and become restless.

Well, if you get caught like this, it won’t end with just getting caught.

“Retel. Can’t we at least go to the elevator using space travel?”

“Hmm. As I said before, space movement is not that easy to use.”

Almost falling down the stairs, she continued.

“Already, the space movement I use is difficult to use and has many unstable aspects, and it is even more difficult to use in this world because the space itself is messy.”

“What do you mean? The space itself is dizzy?”

“I don’t know the exact details, but I think it’s probably because the humans here are using up space.”

“Using up space…?”

As she tilted her head because she couldn’t understand, her eyebrows furrowed slightly.

“Hmm… this is a bit difficult to explain, but Han-gil, if you lived in a world like this, what would you wish for first?”

“…Invincible power?”

“Ahaha. That’s not bad. But, you’re not the only one who can come up with such a wish, right? Others probably have powers equal to yours. So, for safety’s sake, you should make another wish, right? What kind of wish do you make next? Are you going to beg?”

“…A safe home where you can sleep in peace?”

“Correct answer. That’s it.”

After checking the floor number, she moved the space to where the office we left was.

“Even if there is a God who can grant any wish, human instincts do not change. So people here often fold or space out space to make a home.”

“Uh, um…”

I don’t know how to react because the scale is so different.

“So the space in this world is a mess. Some places are full of wrinkles, some places are stretched tight, and some places have gaping holes… It reminds me of the gap in the dimension where I died countless times?

Looking at the flesh-covered walls and ceiling, she shook her head as if she was tired and increased her flight speed a little.

“That’s why I don’t want to use space movement unless it’s a really extreme situation. If I do it wrong, my whole body could be separated.”

“I see… Well, if you are, that’s probably the case.”

When we finally arrived, we opened the door to the office and pressed the elevator button while consciously averting our eyes from the masked people.

“But why is there an elevator in the office here?”

“How can we know what crazy people are thinking?”

“Hmm, is that also…?”

“oh.”

“uh…”

We both hardened our expressions and closed our mouths at the same time.

No, it was forcibly closed.

Because of the huge ‘presence’ felt from below that cannot be ignored.

“Uh, uh…?”

Instinctively, I looked at the electronic display board that showed the current location of the elevator.

101st floor.

170th floor.

280th floor.

320th floor.

The elevator goes up at an unbelievably fast, yet jagged pace.

At the same time, the weight and intimidation of the felt presence also becomes clearer.

“What…?”

“Keuuk…!?”

We stepped back, feeling out of breath.

“Ah, ah…”

come.

Something big is coming.

Even though it has been compressed to its limit, a being so large that it cannot be handled is coming up the elevator, unrealistically.

“Wow, this is…!”

This feeling.

This feeling as if it were pressing on the soul itself.

69 I had a clear experience on an uninhabited island on Earth and when I was possessed by an evil spirit.

Immediately after the Mirror of Resentment arbitrarily absorbed the soul of the dead Sahagin.

Immediately after the evil spirit entered my body.

This damn feeling bothered me so much.

However, what I feel now is the scale itself is different.

If Sahagin is a pebble and an evil spirit is a rock, then what is in the elevator is a planet.

A planet large enough to contain a world inside.

“Re, Retel! Run away…!”

Before I could even finish speaking, I felt a sense of crisis.

The being inside the elevator turned its gaze towards us.

“Hmm…!?”

“Kahak!?”

The elevator hasn’t even arrived yet.

So really, whether it was a coincidence or something, my gaze just turned in this direction.

Even with that, we had no choice but to curl up as much as we could to survive, feeling like our souls were being crushed flat.

Clap!

After arriving at the ‘horrible large corporation,’ my shoes were soaked with blood that I had never stepped on before.

“…uh?”

“huh?”

“What? Who is it?”

It seems that Retel’s ability has been unleashed.

I gritted my teeth as I felt the gazes of those wearing masks coming at me all at once.

“Re, retel!”

I grabbed her hand and pulled her towards me.

“Whoo! Whoo! Damn it…! What is this? There should be a degree of difficulty even if it is high…!”

She cursed softly, sighed heavily, and straightened her back with a resolute expression.

“It’s been a while since I’ve felt this way, so I’m a little surprised. It’s okay now. It’s so bad.”

“Huh? Uh…? Hehe, are you okay?”

surprising.

After all, you are much stronger than me.

The elevator had already reached the 330th floor, the floor just below ours.

“Kuhuhhh…!”

Of course, the resulting pressure also became stronger, to the point where it was impossible for me to even stand properly.

“Hangil, you must not underestimate the gap between dimensions. It is a place where not only the body but also the soul is torn apart.”

She put her hand on my shoulder.

“Whoa!? Huh! Huh!”

Whatever she did, she was able to breathe all at once and let out a large amount of stale breath.

“Hah! Hah!”

The sudden hyperventilation made my mind turn white and made me dizzy, but compared to the pressure I felt just now, it was no different from heaven.

“Hangil. That’s a monster no matter how much I can handle. So I’ll use space movement as a last resort.”

“Whoa! Whoa… Is that okay?”

“Of course not. The probability of success is quite high, but we cannot guarantee that it will be successful.”

Taeee!

While we were talking, the elevator reached the 331st floor and made a clear beep.

“Whoa…!”

As she takes a deep breath, the space around her distorts and distorts.

Perhaps it is a sign of spatial movement, or perhaps it is because there is a being beyond the elevator who cannot resist, but the senses in the extremities of the body become dull.

Slurp.

And finally, the door begins to open.

“…!!”

At that moment, the perceived time lengthened to an unbelievable length.

In a world that had slowed down as if it had stopped, the inside of the elevator was slightly visible.

gap.

Beyond a very small gap.

I made eye contact with that being.

It had a beautiful appearance, as if it did not belong to Inse, but it had long horizontal eyes and round horns like a goat.

I can’t take my eyes off it.

All senses and cells pour all their energy into recognizing its existence.

However, all attempts failed in vain and instead received only a strong shock.

“Kahak…!”

Even as I was writhing in pain and shaking my entire body, my pupils were expanding to their limits like a high-performance camera lens, trying to capture the presence somehow.

“…─”

The being’s red, plump lips move very slowly.

Ah, I could see it.

The good intentions of that noble being flow into my head.

To inform.

To reveal.

To give a blessing.

I try to whisper.

“Ah, ahhh…! I waited, I waited…! God…!”

All attention is focused on his lips, like a thirsty person who finds a handful of water.

I hoped and hoped desperately and desperately.

I hope you can hear and understand and get even a single piece of what he emits.

I hope you can feel the convenience.

Ah, you high and beautiful one.

I love you deeply…

“Severe road! Come to your senses!”

Wow!

Retel’s hand passes over my cheek painfully.

“Huh…!?”

When I came to, I was in the middle of the paranormal response team’s office.

“Ah, ahhh! Ahhh! No! No! No!”

little bit more!

I could have gotten it if I had just had a little more! I got a glimpse! I was able to realize it!

“Why did you interrupt me? Why! Why! Why! Why did you say what he said…!”

Damn it! Damn it!

“Ah, ugh…!?”

My cries could not continue as the dozens of grotesque snouts protruding from the flesh without hesitation caused intense pain.

“Hyaaa!?”

Letel, who was startled and jumped up like a cat, turned pale and widened the distance.

“ugh…!”

“Kkii…!”

Right after the muzzle, which had condensed its power, opened its grotesque and disgusting teeth with all its might.

“Kkkk!!”

“Kyaggaaaa!!”

“Quaaa

“Kggyaaggaaaa!!”

“Keheeaaaa!!”

An absolutely terrifying scream echoed in heavy concentric circles.

The atmosphere vibrates and surrounding furniture rises into the air and crashes into the wall.

“Ugh, ahhh…!”

Only then did I regain my senses and drooled while holding my head that felt like it was about to break.

The traces of its existence hardly disappeared even with this scream.

“Cough! Huh…!”

After coughing up a handful of blood and hearing a scream that made my eardrums vibrate for a long time, I was able to completely forget about its existence.

***

“……”

Lying down in a chair and staring blankly at the ceiling was the best thing I could do right now.

“…Hey, Hangil. How long are you going to be like that? I have other things to do too.”

“I’ve had so much to go through. It’s hard…”

In fact, my memory of its existence was completely erased, but I could intuitively feel that something had happened.

“ha…”

There really isn’t any strength in your body.

Jalang-! Jalang-!

At that time, the clear sound of metal irritates my ears.

“…What does this mean again?”

I frowned and she smiled awkwardly.

“Ah, it looks like the ‘security guard’ has started walking around.”

I checked my watch and it was exactly 20:00 sharp.

“Isn’t time passing too slowly?”

“Well, obviously, too much happened in a short amount of time. Well, there are still three more to go!”

“…Should I just chew it?”

“Can you handle it?”

“…Why on earth are you putting me through this ordeal…?”

He wiped his face and let out a long sigh that came from his Danjeon.

“Okay, let’s do it. We can do it. So what’s the next step?”

“Hmm… Does number 2 seem easier? Or even number 3.”

“Numbers 2 and 3?”

[2. Please deliver three cup ramen to the ‘security guard’]

[3. Please tell the ‘office worker’ in the bathroom that he can leave work now]

“…This ‘office worker’ in item 3. I guess he is the main character of the unidentified crying voice mentioned in the overtime manual?”

“maybe?”

“……”

I pursed my lips and forced myself to stand up.

“Ahaha. Do you have the will to do it now? Ah, but you’re not giving me points this time? What’s the standard?”

“…You haven’t submitted the crying paper to the bathroom yet.”

“Ah! That’s right! Just bringing it wasn’t the end, right? Hangil. Quick!”

“I understand. I understand, so don’t pull…”

I was taken to the bathroom by her and looked around desperately holding the ‘crying paper’.

“And where are you submitting this? The sink?”

“Isn’t it a shelf? Or a cupboard!”

“Shelf? Are you talking about here?”

‘Crying paper’ was placed on a shelf stocked with snacks and cup noodles.

Sralalalak…!

“oh?”

‘Crying paper’ that disappears as soon as you let it go.

[You got 20 points!]

“Wow! I gave it to you again! Oh my! It’s so good! Hangil! Let’s go to the next task quickly!”

“Joe, calm down…!”

After calming her down as she was jumping around and hugging me, I took three cup ramen to carry out item number 2.
