episode_0046

The contradictory situation of being able to see even though you are blind.

The strangeness was something that could not be described in words.

Even more so if it reflects the perspective of an insect, an animal, and a fish from multiple angles at the same time, confusing the brain with perspectives it has never experienced.

“Ugh, wow…!?”

Strangeness quickly turned into confusion, and confusion into panic.

“Hangil! What’s wrong?”

“Oh, no…nothing, wow, no…!”

I felt dizzy and my stomach turned because I couldn’t distinguish between left and right and front and back, but I suppressed it because the situation was urgent.

“Whoop, whoop…!”

First of all, we need to know what kind of power this [Mystical Eye of Condemnation] has.

Even if you look at it with the [appraisal eye], it only makes incomprehensible sounds, so you have no choice but to try it yourself.

“Ugh, wow…!”

It is so difficult that it is almost impossible to adjust the focus.

Wouldn’t it take at least three brains to fully handle it?

“Damn it…!”

So I gave up focusing early on and decided to just widen my field of view and perceive all the surrounding scenery at once.

Duruuk! Duruuk!

The feeling of rolling eyes growing all over my body gives me goosebumps.

“…uh?”

The scenery I managed to see after going through that process was much more different than I expected.

Something was covering the entire world.

“…What is this…?”

It was sticky like sticky glue, and it looked like dewdrops, like radiating energy, or like protrusions integrated into one.

There was something unknown in the walls and ceiling, and even in the fanatics chasing us.

“What is this…huh…?”

At the moment I was confused by the incomprehensible sight, I realized that the ‘thing’ surrounding the fanatic’s body was gradually increasing in real time.

“……”

No, when I looked closely, it wasn’t surrounding the body.

It is attached to ‘existence’ itself.

“……”

To be more precise, would it be more appropriate to say that I am carrying it?

“Oh, I see.”

I realized it instinctively.

I don’t know where this unfamiliar instinct came from, but I felt it anyway, so I had no choice but to say that I felt it.

What I am seeing now is their soul, and what is attached to their soul as if they are carrying it is their karma.

Eyes that allow one to see and interfere with the soul and karma.

That was the [Mystical Eye of Condemnation].

“uh…”

But, so what should I do?

I could sense that these eyes had no function other than ‘seeing’.

Therefore, a ‘scream’ is needed to shake it or break it.

A terrible and desperate scream that can reach the ‘subspace’ where the soul and karma reside.

But now I am in a situation where I cannot scream.

If I do that, my colleagues will suffer irreparable damage.

We need to think of other means.

A means to shake or attack the soul…

“…ah!”

At that time, the most powerful weapon we have now came to mind.

“…Hyung Gyeong-gu!”

“Huh!? Why, what’s wrong?”

While limping and running hard, he is startled by a sudden shout and looks back at me.

“Lend me ‘Space Charm’! Quick!”

“What are you going to do?”

“I don’t have time to explain! Trust me!”

The fanatics had already reached a very short distance.

I urgently stretched out my hand, and he placed a ‘space charm’ in my hand as if there was nothing he could do.

“I don’t know what you want to do, but please!”

“I’ll do as much as I can…!”

No matter where I looked, I was holding a ‘space charm’ that looked like a kitchen knife and staring at their souls and karma.

It’s impossible to aim at the same time, so you have to choose one side.

“Ugh…!”

To be honest, I don’t really understand the concept of karma.

Therefore, I swung the ‘space charm’ targeting the soul that felt more lethal.

Of course, precise aiming was impossible, so they swung haphazardly, but perhaps thanks to the [Mystic Eyes of Condemnation], the fierce slash passed through their souls as if they were being sucked in.

Suddenly!

A small noise that probably only I heard.

At first glance, there seemed to be no change, but the results that eventually emerged were dramatic.

“Aaaaa…Aaaa…!?”

They couldn’t even recognize it and their souls were split, collapsing on the spot and unable to move.

It doesn’t look like it’s dead, but it has lost consciousness and is in an idiotic state, unable to move, so it won’t be able to chase it anymore.

“Hmph! Hmm!”

Because it was draped over Gyeong Hyeong’s shoulder, he wasn’t in the right position to swing his arm, but he still worked hard and produced a vegetable person.

“Kuheook!?”

“Crrr!

With a single slash, dozens of fanatics fall down and become incapacitated, making me feel like I am a martial arts expert and I laugh inadvertently.

“Wow! That’s amazing! How did you do this!?”

-That’s amazing!

“I don’t know what it was, but you did a good job! Hangil!”

“Keep swinging! The elevator is just a little further!”

“Okay…huh?”

The mouth that was about to respond was tightly shut.

This is because a large amount of karma came out of the bodies of the fanatics, who lost their souls and became vegetative people, and began to coalesce.

“what…?”

Since there is no soul in the first place, ego and consciousness do not exist.

In other words, it is unlikely that they will come together through will.

“ah…”

At least, the sight seen through the [Mystic Eyes of Condemnation] was inevitable.

Just as water flows downward and everyone who is born will face death someday, it is like a phenomenon that should happen, or like fate.

“Kki, kihihihi…! Ahahahaha! God, oh oh! God! Great and brilliant God!”

The lumped karma took on an unstable human form, knelt down on the spot, and began to shout.

A bizarre and creepy voice, as if dozens of voices were echoing over and over again.

As I just said, that is not an act of one’s own will.

It just repeats the past content contained in the karma, as if a predetermined video is being played.

“M-chin…!”

However, that didn’t mean it wasn’t dangerous.

The karma, which was originally as murky as refuse, quickly deteriorated and became an ominous and unclean mass.

Its presence and intimidation were nothing compared to the evil spirits it had fought before.

No, in some ways it was even more vicious and rough.

“What is that!?”

“Suddenly something came out again!”

Apparently, that is also visible to the companions.

-Mi, Miss Fortune!? Why is that suddenly!?

Rael widened his eyes in surprise, wondering if he knew about that.

“Rael! Do you know what that is!?”

– It’s a disaster! A mass of negativity that simply pollutes and corrupts everything around it!

“Kyahahahaha! Heresy! Heresy! What a disgrace from God! You impure heretic! You heretic who ignores the majesty of God and casts a shadow, repent of your sins and repent! Kyahahahaha!”

“come!”

“Damn it! I don’t know what happened…!”

The group fired ghost bullets and used telekinesis, but Miss Fortune chased after them, neutralizing all the attacks as if she wasn’t tickled.

It is neither absorbed nor repelled.

As if it was meant to be in the first place, it disappears just before it reaches you.

“Tsk…!”

Sigh!

As I swung the ‘space slash’ as if struggling, a slash with terrifying power penetrated beyond the spiritual dimension under the guidance of the [Mystical Eye of Condemnation].

“Kyaggeuuu!?”

Unable to respond to that, the unclean mass that was broken into pieces lost its shape, wriggled around like slime, and then merged into one again.

“Kyahahahaha!”

I was nervous that they would attack again, but the next target of the negativity was not us, but the crowd of fanatics around us.

“Kwaaa!?”

“W-what!?”

The fanatic who was overcome by negativity had all his karma absorbed, leaving only his soul. The remaining soul disappeared without leaving a trace, as if it had never existed from the beginning.

“AA AA AA…!”

Moreover, that is not the end; the body also turns into ashes and disappears.

“…ah!”

A realization that felt like hitting the back of the head with a hammer.

I see! That was the reason and role of karma!

They have been completely deprived of the basis for their existence, that is, cause and effect!

So it completely disappeared!

“W-what is this!”

“Heresy is carrying out an evil trick!”

“God! Please give me the strength to protect this one body!”

“Divine punishment will come!”

The fanatics, who seemed ready to rush in and cry out for God no matter what they brought, began to struggle for the first time in voices full of fear.

“Whoa! Whoa! I don’t know what it is, but…it’s lucky for us!”

Meanwhile, we were able to arrive at the bloody office where the elevator was located.

The self-proclaimed god and Romenel were nowhere to be seen.

Instead, there was a huge hole in the wall, and I could feel an eerie presence in the distance and hear loud noises, so it seemed like a fight was in full swing.

“There’s no director, but we’re going on like this! Don’t you all agree!?”

“Yes! Director, it will be okay!”

“Because I can’t imagine him losing!”

We quickly boarded the elevator and frantically hit the first floor button.

Guuuung…!

“Hey, hey…”

“Huuuuk, huuu…”

As soon as the elevator started to move, we relaxed and sat down in our seats, gasping in silence.

“…You survived, right? We…”

“Saeron, don’t plant a flag.”

“Can’t you even say something like this? It’s too much…”

After laughing at Saeron’s grumbling, we were able to reach the first floor without any problems.

“…Haaa…”

“Whoa…”

When the elevator door opens and the familiar lobby of an ‘ordinary small business’ appears, a sigh of relief comes out.

“…I don’t want to continue working for such a dangerous company.”

“Whew… Oppa Han-gil. Don’t be so harsh.”

“No, this is a terrible death…”

When I looked at him with an aggrieved expression, Noeul smiled slightly and poked my face.

“I don’t know, but I guess the old Pandora is more dangerous than the ‘horrible conglomerate’? Wouldn’t it be safer to be under the protection of the Management Bureau?”

“…Damn. How did I get into this situation…”

I sighed and barely moved my trembling legs to get out of the elevator.

When I looked at the clock, it was already time to get off work.

I can’t believe that only a few hours have passed since I spent so much time with it.

We were finally able to go home, but we sat blankly in the paranormal response team’s office for a long time.

It was about an hour later that Romenel returned.

To my surprise, he came back unharmed and I was amazed without even realizing it.

To be able to face such an enormous being and not even get a scratch on your clothes is truly a monster.

[You got 20 points!]

“uh?”

“suddenly?”

“wow!”

“Oh yea!”

“Oooh!”

Realizing that the whole situation had ended perfectly by finally getting the point, I fell down on the table and sighed.

[Points: 762]

Still, I’m glad I didn’t get anything this time.

***

Although we escaped a major crisis, the atmosphere in the ‘ordinary small and medium-sized business’ branch of the management bureau was quite sharp.

It’s natural.

This is because a supernatural phenomenon occurred not only in other places but also in the branch of the Management Bureau, resulting in many victims.

Even though they were brought back to life, it does not mean that they never died once.

-Hangil. It’s coffee.

“Ah, thank you, Rael.”

Lael, who has now become our team’s exclusive maid, smiled with a satisfied face and flew off to deliver coffee to others.

No matter how much I told him that it wasn’t necessary because we were equals and colleagues, he wouldn’t listen, so I felt like I should just leave him to do whatever he wanted.

“Rael. Don’t you give it to me?”

-……

Retel waved his hand, but Rael neatly ignored him.

“What! I want it too! Give me coffee! How can you not give me some?”

“Retel. I’m so amazed at you. How can you talk to Rael like that when you can’t see him or hear his voice?”

“If you know that he exists, you can do that! And you know what Rael looks like and his voice through the video Saeron took, right?”

Letel, who had been struggling, suddenly shook his shoulders and quickly came to my side.

“what’s the matter?”

“No, suddenly there was a big presence.”

“Hello everyone!!”

It was none other than Romenel who cut off Retel’s words, threw open the office door, and came in.

With her purple hair flowing and a bright smile on her face, she walked over and sat down at the table in the middle.

“Everyone has something to say, so let’s gather together!”

“What’s happening all of a sudden?”

“What happened again?”

As Saeron, who was playing a game on his smart phone, Gyeonghyeong, who was reading a book, and me, Letel, Eunnoeul, and Rael gathered together, Romenel opened his mouth with a smile on his face.

“It looks like the ‘horrible conglomerate’ will go out of business sooner or later!”

“…yes?”

“Not only the company, but the entire world was on the verge of destruction! Well, with the believer seriously injured and such a monster running rampant, isn’t it natural?”

“Wait a minute, Director. I think I need some explanation.”

“Huh? Ah! I’m sorry! I got too straight to the point. It’s a bad habit of mine.”

She laughed heartily and thought for a moment.

“Uhm… First of all, the driving force of that world was that arrogant guy who called himself a god. He was seriously injured at my hands. If he hadn’t recovered, he could have been dead by now.”

“Ahaha…”

When I say that I killed that incredible being without any thought, I just burst out laughing.

“There is no accumulated technology in that world because everything depends on the being called God. In other words, if there is no God, only primitive people who know how to pray are left.”

“Uh, I think there was a computer or something.”

“It’s something completely different from what we know. It’s something made through prayer, not science and technology.”

“okay…”

“So it was already a confusing situation, but when I just checked, there was some kind of monster running rampant. It was so huge that even I couldn’t handle it… something that could only be described as a disaster was randomly devouring the humans there.”

“……”

We knew what it was, so we kept our mouths shut.

My feelings are a little complicated.

I didn’t mean to, but the monster I created is destroying a world…

“Probably, if the self-proclaimed god can’t deal with that monster, the place will be destroyed sooner or later. So, branch manager.”

“…yes.”

“Please revise the overtime manual as soon as possible. Now, going to the ‘horrible large company’ must be stopped at all costs. If that monster even comes over here, it will be a real disaster.”

“All right.”

“Hmm, that’s a good answer. That’s all I wanted to do! I’m sorry for coming here so suddenly! Everyone, work hard! Oh! And it’s a bad day! I might have to buy points soon, so if you get a call, please accept it on time!”

“Oh, yes. I understand.”

“Hmm! Then, that’s enough!”

Togak togak!

Romenel left the office with brisk steps.

He is truly a stormy person.
