episode_0043

Take a deep breath.

It felt like something was exciting.

I approached slowly.

The guy just lay there with a blank expression on his face, not responding at all, as if he was flustered. I thought about explaining it to him like he did, but I didn’t think it was necessary.

No matter what I explain, it’s all the same.

I fired another bullet into the bastard’s ankle. It hit him and he groaned louder.

“Keuuuuk!!!”

“Where, I hear the sound of a pig being slaughtered.”

I got right inside while the guy was in agony.

“You deserve to get beaten up.”

I clenched my fist and stretched it out. Naturally, my hand was imbued with mana and I was able to strike right away.

Of course, it could be dangerous if used too much, so I made it extremely weak. Fortunately, it was not a physical attack, so the guy couldn’t dodge it.

“This son of a bitch!”

“What the heck, you little pig.”

When the guy tried to curse, I hit him again. In these cases, it’s better to establish discipline first. If he lets his guard down even for a little bit, he might fight back.

I kept hitting the guy to be careful.

“That, stop!”

“Stop what you’re doing, you piece of shit!”

But I had to stop. If I continued, I would run out of mana, and I had no choice but to stop to save it.

Take a deep breath and clear your head. If you keep talking excitedly like this, you’ll only end up cursing.

Only after I calmed down to some extent did I feel like my head was spinning.

“Oh my, hey, Yusera. Are you going to stay still?”

It was only after I told him about the missing Yu Seo, who seemed to be absent-minded, that he came to his senses.

“No, really, that’s funny.”

“Is that so?”

I laughed in agreement with Yoo Seo-ra’s words. I was able to feel more relaxed because of her different appearance from before.

“First, let’s have a proper conversation. What do you want to do?”

“Okay, then. Do what you want first. I’ll do it later.”

“Okay.”

I looked at him again. He just kept glaring at me, as if he had no will to fight.

This is a bit of a relief, because if the guy suddenly uses his superpowers at a fast pace, I’ll be the only one at a disadvantage. My body is still that of a normal person, and if the attack comes at me at a speed I can’t see with my eyes, I’ll just get hit.

So, the current situation is fortunate for me.

I feel relieved.

The guy doesn’t know me, so I have to keep using this situation. That way, I can not only survive, but also get information.

It also needed to be a little challenging.

First, just for safety, keep the gun pointed straight at him. You can’t let your guard down even a little bit towards him.

I bent down and took off the mask he was wearing. Only then could I see his face.

I saw a man who looked like he had just graduated from high school. He looked innocent, but his eyes were so fierce that I didn’t like him very much.

“Okay, let’s talk first.”

“…….”

“Okay, silence is fine too. Then just answer the questions properly.”

First of all, what kind of questions would be good to ask?

Take a moment to think. Whatever it is, you have to ask yourself what works for you. What do I need right now?

I opened my mouth with that thought in mind.

“How long will the ability you used last?”

“…….”

“You’re speechless, damn it.”

I pulled the trigger right away, this time shooting the wrist.

“Ughh …

“Hey, you’re going to get screwed if you keep doing this. Right? If you don’t speak properly, you’re just going to get screwed. Do you understand?”

“Keueugh…! Kkeueugh…! Kkeueup…!”

“You’re not listening, you piece of shit.”

What should I do with this?

No matter how many questions I try to ask, it’s clear that he won’t answer. It seems like he’ll die without revealing any information.

Even though it was a will, I could hear a sigh as if someone had understood it from behind.

First, let’s think about who that guy is.

It is unlikely that this character appeared in the original work. At the same time, it is highly likely that this character did not exist before Yoo Seora’s return.

Even if she was wearing a mask, there was no way she wouldn’t notice.

In that case, the guy is not an executive. If he was an executive, he would have appeared in the original work. At the same time, he would have known about the will, so it was certain.

It seems like you don’t have much information.

“Okay, okay, then let me ask again.”

“…….”

“What is your name? If there is no answer, another bullet will be fired.”

“…….”

“ Ha, low dog fuck.#◦

The amount of bleeding was so much that it was difficult to shoot. If I fired without reason, the guy could die from excessive bleeding.

Strangely enough, I ended up hesitating.

“Okay, so that’s how you come out?”

You can’t even go for psychological warfare.

At first, I thought he might be wondering if what he was saying was true, but if he kept going like this, he wouldn’t get anywhere.

“Sigh.”

A sigh comes out on its own.

I can’t speak if I just feel frustrated.

“Just kill this.”

Yoo Seol-ra spoke from behind. It seems that she realized that there was no answer no matter how hard she tried. Honestly, I agree with her and want to follow her advice, but there was one more thing I wanted to try.

“Wait a minute, just gather your thoughts.”

How should I say it? What should I do?

Would it be better to just keep spewing out harsh words like before?

My mind, which had been in a state of confusion, began to organize itself as if it were a puzzle. I opened my mouth with a faint smile, as if I was at ease.

“Okay, then if you answer this correctly, I’ll let you go.”

“…….”

“You can have some hope. I don’t lie about people’s lives.”

“……”

“Then let me ask the question right away.”

I asked confidently.

“What is the purpose of drinking?”

“…What does that mean?”

“It’s simple. It’s literally asking what the drinker wants. It’s a very simple question. Just answer that much.”

The guy remained silent in response to my words. But somehow, unlike before, he seemed to be contemplating an answer to my question.

“Didn’t I tell you earlier?”

“What?”

“The purpose of the demon is to destroy this rotten world.”

“That’s your purpose?”

“Yes. So are you really going to save me?”

I said it with a smile, without any hesitation.

“No.”

“I thought it was a lie.”

“That’s not it, what you said was wrong.”

“What?”

The guy made a face with his mouth open stupidly. His face, which had been bright red as if he was enduring pain, looked at me as if he had lost all senses.

“Wrong……? What do you mean?”

The guy asked me a question, expressing his doubts. I answered it casually, as if it were nothing, as if it were nothing more than information.

“I know the purpose of the drink. And it is different from what you know.”

“What are you talking about? Are you saying there is another purpose besides destroying the world? Stop talking nonsense. How do you know such things when you are not even a believer in the Masin religion?”

“You may know, but aren’t you curious? What is the purpose of that drink?”

“…….”

The guy kept his mouth shut.

You seem to think that what I said is definitely bullshit. I thought so too. It’s just that I said this as a simple build-up.

As far as I remember, it is said that the followers of Masinism have something connected to Masin.

Of course, I had no idea what it was. I had no idea if it was some kind of continuation of some sense, or if information from the real world was flowing into the demon.

Do you think they would have solved such a big plot twist in a work with a ruined ending?

Of course I didn’t solve it, so I don’t know that information at all.

So you could say it was a bit of a gamble.

Since it is said to be connected to the devil, it is a gamble that if I tell this information, something will happen.

“Aren’t you curious?”

“…….”

“Are you saying that kind of thing isn’t worth listening to?”

“Of course, I know that’s bullshit.”

“Really? Then what did the demon say that made you decide to destroy the world?”

The guy laughs at my question, as if to say, “Is that what you mean?”

“Hey, the demon is going to destroy the world with his own mouth?”

“…….”

“Ah, I didn’t hear you. You’re talking nonsense when you didn’t hear me.”

“Then do you know something? Have you heard something?”

I smiled as if I had been waiting for that question.

“Of course.”

“Then what did the drinker say?”

I took a moment to catch my breath and looked at the guy.

Just in case Yusera could hear him, he approached the boy and whispered to him.

“The demon said, ‘I will become the true god of the world.’ ‘I will change the world again.’”

I wonder how he will react. It doesn’t matter if it’s the same. It’s just that the original information suddenly came to mind. So I said it just in case, so it wasn’t a big problem.

I was just curious. I was driven by curiosity.

I made several guesses as to how the guy would react.

That was the moment

“Ah.”

The guy suddenly let out a sigh. He lowered his head as if he had realized something and shook his head.

I felt like something was off.

“Ah, no. That doesn’t change the fact that the world will end. It doesn’t.”

I didn’t say anything, but the guy quickly accepted that what I said was true.

As if there was nothing strange about telling the truth.

‘I heard that the eagle can catch people.’

I really didn’t think he would react in any way. I felt a little excited at the sight of him, but I couldn’t control my emotions. I wanted to say something right away, but I kept my mouth shut as much as possible.

The moment you do something strange, you’re screwed. If you just say something from now on, you might get a lot of information right away.

That’s why I continued speaking slowly.

“Do you really think so? If so, why did you accept my words as true?”

“No, that can’t be true. No matter how much I think about it, the meaning of those words is the destruction of the world.”

“But your executives didn’t tell you that. If it really was the end of the world, you could tell them.”

“…….”

“Did you still believe and follow me?”

I asked.

If the only reason he believes in the devil is to destroy the world, then he has nothing to gain from it anyway. So my question was natural.

“Yeah.”

“Even if the world doesn’t end?”

“If that is what you want.”

“Okay.”

I was satisfied.

“Then here’s a question. If you answer this well, I’ll tell you the real purpose of the drink.”

“…….”

“First of all, what is your name?”

“Lee Do-hyun.”

“Why did you come to us?”

That was the most important question.

Why did he come to us alone? I asked to find out.

“To bring you over to our side.”

“The reason is.”

A brief gap.

I felt like he was thinking about something. He didn’t really want to talk, but I urged him on.

“Say it.”

Then the guy opened his mouth.

“Because there is a division in the Masin Church now.”

The division of the Masin Church.

Naturally, information that wasn’t in the original ended up appearing.

“Wait a minute. What does that mean?”

It seemed like that was information that I didn’t know even before the return.

It seems that there are still many things hidden in this world. This writer was truly an irritating bastard.

I had many complaints, but I said nothing.

I just got lost in thought again.

Information that wasn’t in the original. It’s not surprising anymore. That’s why I made a plan right away.

‘I see.’

This was a lucky situation for me.

Divided means that it can be ruined from within. This time, it seemed like the author was trying to help me.

I feel like I can use him from now on. I don’t know what Yuseo thinks, but at least that’s what I thought.

‘You’re lucky.’

It really was.

I was really lucky.
