Non-believers’ Day (4) ― ‘Moses Elder’s Room’, 6th floor, Starlight Church

“Note, Sergeant! Why are you looking so blank! They say you have to run away quickly!”

The search team, which had already been in a panic after the collision that shook the rooftop, became even more fussed.

Sergeant Kim, who was staring blankly at the ceiling, slowly approached them.

He grabbed one of the search team’s bent rifles and started hitting them with the butt.

puck! Pow! puck-!

At the sound of a bloody blow, Joo Joo-hye narrowed her eyes and turned her head.

Due to the merciless punishment, the cries of the search teams became eerily quiet.

“How did Jinhyeon die?”

“Big, big… Just hit that guy with one hit… .”

“‘How’ did he die?”

“The moment I approached that guy, my throat was torn off!”

Joo Joo-hye imagined Jin-hyeon Kim with his neck separated by their screaming answers.

Fluorescent sportswear that sparkled endlessly and slitted eyes full of lust that always glared at women.

How I trembled with rage when I saw women my age having their bodies and underwear stolen by that guy.

“Was there anything else special?”

“Gui, just as we were about to return, that guy reached out to us and suddenly my head hurt so bad!”

“He died the moment I approached him. I felt pain in my head as I reached out… .”

Sergeant Kim’s cool eyes twinkled as he smoothed his chin.

“I think I understand roughly. Seongcheol, go and bring Youngjin. Bring all the armed forces with you.”

“Yes, yes? Youngjin is… .”

Jo Seong-cheol, wearing a black training suit, wiped the blood from his forehead and glanced sideways at Joo Ju-hye.

Park Young-jin, that bastard is Sergeant Kim’s greatest strength, guarding the weapons depot.

In addition, Joo Joo-hye’s family was being held hostage there.

“It’s okay, let’s leave quickly.”

“Yes, yes! Sergeant!”

The search team’s gaze returned after they had calmed down their panic, along with Cho Seong-cheol who ran out in a huff.

Sergeant Kim, who nodded in satisfaction while looking at that scene, spoke to Joo Ju-hye.

“You want compensation? Allow me to meet my family. It wouldn’t be a bad idea to run away somewhere with them.”

Rather, why does it sound like he is telling me to run away?

“… It sounds like they are telling you to run away.”

“As expected, you are smart. Run away. If you hide somewhere else, won’t we have some breathing room?”

Sergeant Kim tried to prepare for any emergency by deploying himself somewhere else.

Then what if you betray yourself?

Betrayal is shit.

Joo Joo-hye burst out laughing at her own question.

Sergeant Kim continued as if he had heard the voice of his heart.

“It doesn’t matter if you harbor foolish thoughts. You know because you’ve been through it too. In a world like this, people have no choice but to leave traces, and we are pros at hunting after those traces.”

It was as he said.

No matter how hard people tried to hide, they eventually left traces, and Sergeant Kim’s search team gained strength by robbing those people of their food.

‘Even if Kim Jin-hyeon dies, Park Young-jin still remains… .’

Gun-shaped fingers used to toy with those who rebelled… .

His left arm, the hunter, is dead, but his even more powerful right arm will soon avenge the hunter.

All who opposed him eventually bowed to Sergeant Kim’s sword.

Maybe this time too… .

It won’t be any different.

Joo Joo-hye’s eyes, which were sparkling with desperation, died.

Joo Joo-hye, who had forgotten her anger that Elder Na had collapsed and her hope that someone had come, asked Sergeant Kim.

“What should I change the keyword to?”

At her words, Sergeant Kim quietly looked up at the ceiling.

After the initial shock, he said as he looked at the place filled with silence.

“Pseudo-hunting.”

***

“Oh, it won’t collapse like Lotte Mart, right?”

The small lawn on the rooftop of Starlight Church was a mess in my ‘Hero Landing’.

My first concern was the sunken lawn and the rising clouds of dirt.

First of all, they said they would arrive as quickly as possible… If the building collapses like this, it’s a disaster… .

“Tsk, this isn’t the impact that Gaeul was talking about… .”

The nagging feeling of ‘Autumn Dream’ tormented my mind again.

‘hey! Why are you destroying the supermarket? Are you part of the demolition squad?’

‘No, I’m not like that when there are people…’ ‘

‘No, it’s not! Close your eyes and tell me the truth! If there are some guys who are making fun of you, I found their home base. What are you going to do?’

‘What should I do! Just go right in… ‘

‘Look at this! Look at this! Are you a human butcher?! You are a cult leader, cult leader! Keep this in mind. Most perceptions of people are formed upon first meeting. As soon as I saw it for the first time, I thought, ah, this guy is something out of the ordinary! ‘It’s about making an impact so you can feel that way, understand?!’

“Uuuuugh! Get out of my head! Annoying!!”

I listened until my ears started to feel numb, and I automatically heard her voice.

Yes, Seong Ga-eul is probably right.

You’ve never lost anything by listening to Seong Ga-eul’s words.

In the name of true education, I desperately resisted the desire to tear down the building itself.

I did not come to kill people, but to preach and evangelize.

With the mindset of a gentle religious person, I put my bags on my back and looked at the blue sky.

“The sky is so clear.”

After a while, the speaker on the rooftop rang with a chirping sound.

―Are you the so-called Salvation Church leader?

As expected, it was a middle-aged male voice.

Even though it was his area, he spat out words full of mana to the guy who cheekily asked through the speaker.

A voice louder than the broadcast echoed throughout the building itself.

“Yes. Are you the leader of the group that threatened Sanctuary?

-I don’t know the threat, but I am the person in charge of this place. Call me Sergeant Kim.

Sergeant Kim.

Is he a soldier as his name suggests?

Then, it was somewhat fitting that the guys who were making noise were armed beyond their means.

I kept my eyes on the speaker that was emitting Sergeant Kim’s voice.

‘There’s still electricity left…’ .’

A voice filled with mana resonates through the building once again.

“Is it really necessary to talk through the speaker? Don’t waste precious electricity and come before me.”

―… Enough with the exploration. You have now trespassed on our territory. I advise you to return to your home quickly.

A harsh warning that can be felt even through the speakers.

I actually laughed at that warning.

At the end of the deep laughter, a solemn cry reached the building and the people inside it.

“You can’t do that! I saw! Those suffering here! A poor soul hoping for salvation!”

-I guess I had a dream. This place is run very democratically and we are getting through this disaster together. This is not a place for cultists like you to evangelize!

The guy’s voice gradually becomes more intense like a gradient.

―Just because you know so much, you can easily talk about pain and salvation! Have you been through real hell? I am a living proof that I escaped that hell! This guy and that guy, those bastards who were whining for supplies! These bastards are no different from commies!

Is this insulting me? Or are you just insulting other people that suddenly came to mind?

The guy was spitting out the words that were in his mind as if he had forgotten his original purpose.

hmm… Wasn’t this enough?

―A pig who doesn’t know that just being alive in the fence is a blessing…

“Did you spend enough time with that?”

―… … .

The crackling electronic sound stopped and the speaker became silent.

Through the brief silence, a green object was thrown onto the rooftop floor in a dark room.

Push profit profit―

‘smoke screen.’

In an instant, I was floating in the white smoke that began to fill the entire rooftop.

‘Not bad.’

As expected, they responded smoothly, perhaps because they had already seen my abilities.

Telekinesis is the power that ultimately interferes with objects.

Interfering ultimately implies ‘seeing.’

You can either see it with your own eyes or look at the minimap that operates within the sanctuary.

The smokescreen was the same as saying it would limit my vision, that is, my abilities.

‘Once you’ve limited your abilities, it’s time to counterattack!’

At the same time as I thought that, I felt a wave of mana coming from one side of the rooftop.

Following my gesture, the white smoke there clears.

A guy that looked like a rat was standing in a steady stance as he watched me floating in the air.

What is surprising is that the hand in the shoulder position is not holding anything.

The blue light coming from its arm was reminiscent of the rim of a rifle.

A cloud of blue light gathered around the muzzle of the rifle and its eyes flashed.

Ta-da-da-da-da-da-

I reflexively held out my hand in response to the rush of blue bullets.

My eyes rolled quickly and I recognized each bullet cutting through the beam of light.

‘… ‘Fuck!’

However, the bullet made of mana was free from the control of my telekinesis.

puck-! Puffpuffpuffpuff!

It was the first effective hit I received after awakening my ability.

The magic bullets that occupied every direction hit my whole body.

A flash of light interrupted me from thinking about what to do next.

He moved instinctively with both arms protecting his face.

The body that was floating in the air fell down again and hid under a smoke screen.

“Khahahahaha! Fuck, you’ve got all the forms, but you’re acting like a bastard!”

I didn’t bother to reply to the mean-spirited, torn voice.

‘There is a blow, but there is no fatal blow.’

I quickly reorganized my body and slightly removed the smoke screen that was covering my surroundings.

Tudadadada-

“Go behind! You idiot pseudo bastard!”

The wildly fired magic bullet pierced the entire smoke screen.

Blue mana is shot along a circle spreading out in white smoke.

The rat’s eyes, visible through that small hole, glowed blue.

“You will never be able to search well.”

They only limited direct use of telekinesis.

Rather, the true nature of telekinesis is revealed through indirect interference.

Knock knock!

The starlight church screamed along with the white light that bloomed on my body.

The building shook as if there had been an earthquake, along with the sound of steel bars collapsing.

The concrete block that made up the rooftop blocked my path and absorbed the impact of the magic bullet.

Bubberbuffuck-

Behind the crumbling concrete, numerous rocks slowly floated in the air.

And it spun.

Shhh!

Like planets wandering in space where gravity has disappeared, the rocks orbiting around me gradually increased their speed.

The white smoke that had been covering the rooftop was sucked into the ranks.

Ka-ga-ga-ga-ga-!

The floor of the rooftop was cruelly divided, leaving an open space with no visibility restrictions.

An artificially created gray storm began to tear through the rooftop of Starlight Church.

“, ssivaaaal!”

There was no way the awakened person could not feel the explosive flow of mana.

The rat’s eyes, steeped in the excitement of slaughter, were filled with urgency.

He quickly put one knee on the ground and pretended to grab something round.

“… Oh!”

Even if the blue border wasn’t revealed, I could guess what he was going to do.

“Allah Hu Akbarda, you bastard!”

Fuquaaa!

The magic wand of Allah created by Mana flew towards the cult leader from the roof of the church.

A large magic bullet, incomparable to a rifle, penetrated the storm I had created.

Doo doo doo doo doo-

Small stones hit his magic bullets violently along with the huge flow of telekinetic power.

As the blue magic bullet gradually distorted its shape, I could see its expression becoming increasingly hard.

From the looks of it, it was an attack that invested a significant amount of mana, but it didn’t even make a dent in me.

“This kind of dog… !”

I stretched out my arm to the guy who was trying to stand up again.

The rebars that were sleeping under the rooftop were shot at him like snakes by my telekinesis.

“Kuhuhuhuhuh!”

The reinforcing bar sticking out of the floor engulfed the rat’s entire body.

The stronger his grip, the more the steel bars surrounding his body began to squeeze his body.

“Kuhhh! Oh, this kind of dog! ”

The body of the only man allowed freedom was stuffed by me.

The more quickly he twisted his body, the deeper the rebar dug into his body.

“Uuuu!”

Looking at the guy’s face that was about to explode, I held out my other hand.

Following my gesture, the Dragon Fist Wind, which looked dark gray due to the combination of concrete and white smoke, slowly advanced.

“Ugh, ugh! no! Put the fuck away! Clean it up!”

A small piece of stone bounced off the floor as the dragon fist violently hit the guy in the face.

The rat squeaked and shed tears as the pieces of stone rained down into the mouth of the squirming creature.

“Ugh! Please save me! Fuck, fuck! Sorry, sorry! Sorry! ”

“We don’t need believers with bad hand habits, you idiot.”

“Quaaah!”

A dark gray storm swallowed the rat.
