In a flash, we arrived at the same place I had been before. Of course, it was hard to be sure because the path that had been on the side wall was gone, but I knew that this was the same place.

That’s because I intentionally dropped one of the magazines.

Thanks to that, I know this is the place I was just now.

I slowly got off of Yusera, feeling embarrassed. To be honest, getting off was more embarrassing than getting on.

I relaxed slightly and looked around.

“Is this where you were talking about?”

“Uh, roughly.”

“Then what is here that made you call me?”

I paused for a moment and then answered.

“Oh, wait a minute.”

I guess she ran away. If I bring Yoo Seo-ra here like this, it could put her in danger.

So that’s why you ran away.

No matter how much I think about it, that’s not true. If that were true, you wouldn’t have tried to talk to me in the first place.

There must have been a reason for him to say that.

In many ways, it was difficult to figure out what the guy was thinking, so I decided to approach it simply.

“Hey!!! Come out here you piece of shit!!! Since we’re all caught anyway, why don’t we at least talk!!!”

My voice resonates loudly in the surroundings. Yu Seo looks at me like that and makes an expression like he’s looking at a strange person.

Honestly, even if it were me, if the person next to me suddenly started acting like this, I think I’d look like an idiot. But please understand.

I’m doing this because there’s no other way.

“No, you piece of shit, if you don’t come out, we’ll just go outside? Yeah? We’re going out, you little shit!”

“Oh, no, you. What are you doing now?”

“, you must have called us here for some reason, but if this keeps up, you’re the only one who’s going to lose? Why don’t we just take everyone who came in here and get them out? If you’re going to come out, come out quickly, you idiot!”

He keeps yelling loudly as if he’s threatening me. I’m sure someone is listening somewhere. If so, he’ll have to respond to me somehow.

If only to get what he wants.

“Not coming out? You’re saying this isn’t coming out? Then we’re going? We’re really going!!”

I screamed one last time, but there was no response. I don’t know if he was scared, but he couldn’t stand it any longer.

“Ah, fuck, I guess I’ll just have to raid.”

Let’s try it another way.

Anyway, this incident had to be confirmed no matter what. Especially considering that this was a situation that could not be seen in the original.

Someone did this on purpose, so you need to know what happened.

“Hey!! It’s gonna break! It’s fucking gonna break!”

“Excuse me? Are you saying I’m going to break this place?”

“Of course! You piece of shit, so open it quickly!”

But still there was no response. It was as if there was nothing there.

This kid is really stubborn.

It’s all over.

I immediately picked up the gun, loaded it, and drew my mana to the end of my body.

“Are you really going to do that? Even if you say you can’t do it, you know it’s really hard, right? I’m not good at it either.”

“Ah, shut up and wait.”

You talk so much.

I pretended to be crazy and immediately opened my eyes. At the same time, I used the original information to manipulate mana. I looked at the wall and immediately pulled the trigger.

bang!

I took a step forward, but the wall didn’t change. There wasn’t even a scratch on it, as if there was no problem.

“Was I too weak?”

“No, you. Are you excited because you have mana? Stop for now.”

“The excitement I felt yesterday has already disappeared?”

“Then what are you doing now?”

“Oh, wait a minute. I’m doing this because I can do it more efficiently than you.”

I tried to gather some more mana. Unlike before, I gathered a lot of mana and used it to finish it off for sure.

I concentrated on giving mana to the bullet and then fired it right away.

bang!

In an instant, I could see cracks appearing in the wall I had attacked.

“Huh?”

“I’m used to handling mana.”

Of course, it’s not only because of the information that was in the original work.

The bullet I fired didn’t destroy the wall. To be precise, it only removed the foreign substance, not the wall.

It’s hard to explain properly, but it’s said that if you concentrate your mana in one place and then simultaneously give it to the place where the foreign substance is, you can remove the foreign substance on its own. Of course, if you attack somewhere other than where the foreign substance is, you’ll only end up wasting your mana in vain, so it’s an action that requires caution.

But didn’t I see that road just now? That strangely formed road. It would be extremely difficult to quickly fill in the place where such a road used to be, and if that were the case, it would have definitely been filled in with foreign substances.

So, it’s a matter of attacking that part.

It was very simple and easy.

– Okay, wait a minute!

I heard the same voice as before.

I paused for a moment, then chuckled bitterly. Then I put my finger on the trigger again.

“Why don’t you open it and keep swearing? It’s your stupid choice. Hold on with evil and courage.”

Continue speaking.

“You idiot.”

I pulled the trigger briefly. There was a sound of the trigger, and at the same time a larger dent appeared in the wall. It was almost like a crack.

I repeated that action a few more times.

It was no surprise that the wall came crashing down.

Kang!

The wall disappeared like dust, revealing a path ahead.

“You’re lucky.”

I had even vowed to use so much mana that I would collapse as soon as I removed the foreign substance. That’s why I felt satisfied when I felt some mana remaining.

I looked at Yusera, thinking that she was strong enough to fight.

Currently, Yu Seo-ra just looked at me with a blank expression, as if she still didn’t fully understand the situation.

“What is this?”

“Well, I solved it. Okay, let’s get in.”

I went right in without leaving any useless words. As soon as I entered, I could see that it was dark. It seemed as if there wasn’t even a little light. It was a really annoying structure.

Even Yu Seo-ra quickly came to his senses and came next to me and followed me.

“What a truly amazing person.”

“Yeah, who would do something like this? Even making such foreign substances.”

“No, you said it was amazing.”

She couldn’t help but find me strange. Who would do such a bold thing and solve it so perfectly? More than anything else, the way I skillfully manipulated mana made her feel strange.

That’s why he still has this expression on his face, as if he finds the will absurd. It was a face that seemed quite satisfactory, so I could smile slightly.

“What’s funny?”

“No, it’s nothing.”

I kept walking down the hallway, keeping my words to myself.

Apparently, the guy was having a negative reaction to Yoo Seo-ra coming. So, he wanted to put me in danger first so that he could somehow talk to Yoo Seo-ra.

In short, it means that someone who knows that she is strong spoke to me first to ensure his own safety.

And now, because of me, that simple plan has been ruined.

I couldn’t help but laugh when I thought of that guy I didn’t even know who was going to be ruined because of me. I’m really curious about what it’s like in real life.

We just keep walking without saying a word. It’s probably because we don’t think we can escape. If that were possible, it would have been better for him to just stay quiet.

It was a natural thought.

I feel like it took a while.

That was the moment.

“Stop.”

A creepy voice came from somewhere. It was a more oppressive feeling than before, so I instinctively put strength into it. Soon, my body stiffened and my feet stopped moving on their own.

It was a really bad feeling.

“You fucking punk, do you think I’ll stop just because you say I will?”

But that didn’t stop my mouth. It seems that my personality is such that when I see something scary, I react first. I get annoyed first and then start swearing.

But thanks to that, I was able to avoid being caught being scared.

“If you don’t stop, you’ll regret it.”

With those words, smoke began to flow into the air. In an instant, I could feel the atmosphere calming down.

Slowly the smoke dissipated and a figure emerged from within. It was a very familiar sight, wearing a black cloak and mask.

‘What, was it a magic cult?’

Masinism.

Why are there any Masin cult believers here? I don’t know anything about that, but I can tell that I’m currently feeling uncomfortable.

It comes to mind slowly.

There is even a memorial tablet next to it.

At that moment, the blood clot came back vividly. There were corpses everywhere and there was a foul smell. I suddenly became calm.

It was a feeling of realism that was just fading away.

Slowly, I look at the guy. What does he want that he came here for? Since he wouldn’t move without a purpose, I naturally become cautious.

Slowly apply force to your fingers.

I speak in a low voice.

“What did you want that made you do this?”

Yuseo was still thinking about it, so he didn’t say anything. On the other hand, I blurted out my words without even thinking about it properly.

The guy squirmed at my words, as if there was no meaning to them.

“, stop talking nonsense and answer properly. You must have called us like this because you honestly want something from us, right? ”

How do you know us?

The guess was simple. It was at that moment that they learned that all the believers of the Masin cult in the forest behind the dormitory had been massacred. Of course, how could there have been people who survived there?

Nothing came to mind right away either.

There were no CCTV footage or survivors. It would be possible to know for sure if you checked the will yourself.

So what is it?

That was one possibility I didn’t want to think about.

‘Was it true that one of those kids was a Masin cult member?’

The possibility was quite possible.

Actually, I couldn’t think of anything else. There were actually some believers in the Masin cult among the kids, and that’s why information about us leaked to the Masin cult.

Who on earth could it be?

I couldn’t be sure because I didn’t even speak properly.

“Hey, am I the only one talking? If you have a mouth, speak properly.”

“I see. That’s what I want from you. In fact, didn’t you notice it from my gestures earlier? That there’s nothing like that.”

Are you really saying that there is no such thing?

Of course, it must be a lie. There must be another intention. If so, what is it and how can I know? Since anyone can think, I decided to try it, even if it’s simple.

Are you here to check them? Or are you here to find out who they are?

If they came to find out who you are, they would definitely find out your skills. If that’s the case, it’s more likely that a strong person, or in other words, a manager, came rather than someone who was ordering a weak person around.

‘Fucking executive.’

I’m speechless.

I don’t know what they want, but it had to be resolved at least within the will. Otherwise, we’d both be in danger.

“Okay. Then let me change the question. What are you going to do from now on?”

“What to do? What an abstract question. I can’t even think about it for a long time.”

While the guy is thinking, I continue to think.

No matter how much I think about it, I still don’t know why he came. No matter how simple I try to think about it, I just feel dizzy.

‘Think about it.’

He clearly intended to take me with him.

The reason is that it is advantageous to have a will and a conversation. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have tried to make me come here alone.

‘No, before that.’

Was it really necessary to let him in directly? Couldn’t he have just kidnapped him directly?

Thoughts came and went, and various inferences emerged. However, it is true that there were many points that were inconvenient to call them conclusions.

‘First of all, it is true that you couldn’t summon me by force.’

If that were possible, I would have done it already.

‘And what that guy is really after is the will.’

I was supposed to be just a hostage. But I realized it was a trap and ran straight towards where Yusera was.

‘wait for a sec.’

Is it possible that this situation itself is a trap? I got into a dangerous situation because I was thinking too roughly.

‘That’s not it either.’

If that’s true, then the guy in front should have taken action first. But he’s still just standing there.

So then what does he want?

It was a situation that I couldn’t figure out even if I thought about it.
