Chapter Index

    #88

    I have seen Yuna through Choi Sang-nap’s eyes.

    Of course, I didn’t see it in person.

    I only saw the silhouette through the opaque glass.

    Believers could not meet Yuna directly or talk to her.

    Is this some kind of marketing strategy?

    Since it was a pseudo-religion, it was natural.

    It’s about maintaining mysticism.

    Maybe that’s why people here believe in Yuna even more.

    ‘I think I’ll try to reduce the amount of time I appear in front of people.’

    Just by being a rare person, you can give the feeling that you are a high-ranking person.

    First of all, the priority right now is to look at Yuna in front of me.

    But it was rarely seen. It was very dark.

    “Ah, I was wondering who you were… … . It’s you, Swallow.”

    How did know? You won’t be able to see anything.

    Of course, I’m not a swallow either.

    “What is this place… Is it work?”

    “I was wondering what you were doing.”

    “Yes… … ?”

    Yuna’s voice trembles slightly.

    He probably felt uncomfortable because it was not the voice or way of speaking of the swallow he was familiar with.

    “Don’t you know best… . Even today, we are making our daily bread.”

    “Form?”

    “Yes. form… . Oh, watch your step there.”

    I tried to take a step but stopped.

    It was dark so I couldn’t see it well.

    I looked around and saw something wriggling around my feet.

    this… … .

    It looks like a bug… ?

    Something thick and shaped like a caterpillar.

    It wasn’t dead, but it seemed alive and wriggling a little.

    If you listen carefully, you can hear the sound of insects squirming all over the place.

    “Thank you. Once these children are created, they have a habit of trying to go anywhere.”

    “… … What a troublesome ability.”

    I was able to guess what kind of ability it was right away.

    Is it the ability to create something like that caterpillar?

    I saw so many bugs that they could fill this space.

    It seems like it can be produced in quite a large amount.

    Sitting in a dark place without even using a flashlight.

    Maybe it’s because it’s hard to see what it looks like now.

    Even in my opinion, it is an unpleasant scene.

    How to create a bug… I don’t really want to imagine it.

    “Yes… … . i know. What other people see as an annoying ability is…”

    “Don’t you feel like you don’t like your abilities?”

    “But you’re saving people’s lives with this.”

    “Um.”

    I’ve seen bundles of bugs handed out here.

    A lot of fleshy larvae are collected, pressed at once, baked, and dried.

    Next, cut the chunks into pieces about the size of bean jelly and distribute them to the people.

    So, the shape of a bug is revealed inside the shape of a yanggaeng.

    It also looks like a mixture of several insects.

    This is the true identity of the ‘shape of many insects gathered together’.

    Numerous larvae alive and wriggling in this room.

    Now Yuna is buried inside.

    “Isn’t it painful? If you do that.”

    “… … are you okay. I got used to it a lot.”

    “Still, it will feel strange.”

    “Because they are my children. You shouldn’t be disgusted.”

    From now on, the bugs are called ‘kids’.

    Do you feel like a child because you created it yourself?

    I understood it as a strange maternal love feeling that you only see in tentacle films or foreign films.

    “Do you ever feel like quitting?”

    “I don’t want to do that.”

    Yuna spoke clearly and clearly.

    “Thanks to these children, we were able to save people.”

    “Yes.”

    “I heard. Another person was saved today… … .”

    “Are you aware of the situation?”

    “I heard people who cook talk about their children before they could cook.”

    Perhaps Yuna can obtain information through the insect’s senses.

    For some reason, when I came in, I felt like they noticed me even though I couldn’t see anything in any direction.

    “I see.”

    “If only I could do that… … . If we can save hundreds of people, it is not difficult to raise children here. Rather, it is something to be thankful for.”

    “What a noble spirit of sacrifice.”

    “Noble… . This is nothing compared to what the Lord sacrificed.”

    “Lord?”

    “Yes. Lord.”

    Yuna cleared her voice and began to pray.

    “Lord. Thank you for providing people with their daily bread today. Please do not let these lambs go hungry. Please help us save lives.”

    I was a little embarrassed.

    Isn’t this a pseudo-religion?

    But that prayer… It was close to a ‘real prayer’ like one would hear in a church or cathedral.

    Of course, since I am not religious, I did not know exactly.

    I thought about one thing with a skeptical mind.

    “Did you make that prayer up yourself?”

    “No. This is a slight change from another priest’s prayer.”

    “Father?”

    “Yes. I… … As you know, I used to live as a nun.”

    Only then, as if my eyes had finally adapted to the darkness, did I vaguely see Yuna’s figure.

    “… … It was like that.”

    That thing you’re wearing on your head. I didn’t know its name, but I’ve seen it.

    This is something that real ‘nuns’ wear on their heads.

    What is the identity of Yuna, who was treated as a saint of a pseudo-religion?

    She was a real ‘nun’.

    *

    “Sister Yuna. May you be peaceful today.”

    “I hope you too stay calm, sister.”

    A cathedral near Hongdae. Sister Shin Yuna was busy preparing for mass as usual.

    As she continued to lead a devout religious life, she had a lot of work to do.

    From handling various chores at the cathedral to preparing for mass, various studies, and volunteer work.

    Although it was difficult, every day was a fulfilling day.

    I thought days like this could continue forever.

    Until the monster that broke through the stained glass of the cathedral swallowed the head of the priest during mass.

    “Wow, wow!!”

    “Aaaaagh──!”

    “Save people, save people─!”

    Munch! Munch!

    Abi Gyu-hwan runs away and hides from the monster.

    In an instant, the cathedral became a sea of ​​blood and countless people died.

    “Why, why, why, why… … !”

    Even as she somehow managed to escape, Shin Yuna had other worries.

    “Nursing home people… ! Those people can’t run away because they have trouble moving… !”

    I headed to a nearby nursing home where I frequently volunteer.

    Kugugugugung──!

    Crunch, crunch!

    Wow!!

    The nursing home seen from afar had long since become a restaurant for monsters.

    “Wow… … !”

    I wanted to turn my eyes away from this horrible and unbelievable sight.

    The reality was that he, too, had to survive by avoiding the monster.

    For several days, I hid among the rubble of the broken building.

    While hiding, Shin Yuna had no choice but to face the cruel reality.

    The area around Hongdae, which was bustling with people, was nowhere to be found.

    Rather, because there were so many people, the damage was greater.

    Monsters come from all directions, chase and bite people who run away.

    The people who evacuated and hid together were crushed to death as the building collapsed.

    If there was blackened blood and internal organs between the concrete piles, it was most likely a dead body like that.

    “Lord. Please take care of these little lambs… … .”

    Shin Yuna could not pass by that scene.

    When I passed by and saw a body, I prayed for each one.

    She thought that was the only thing she could do as a nun.

    Helpless.

    without being able to do anything.

    Just saying a prayer.

    Crrr… .

    “Ugh… !”

    When the monster appeared, I hid between the piles of buildings in the corner and waited endlessly for the monster to pass by.

    After that, I joined a few people.

    After a while, I noticed a problem.

    “I’m hungry… .”

    There was nothing to eat.

    As soon as the monsters’ chaos erupted, quick-witted people quickly ran to convenience stores and supermarkets.

    Without even counting the items, he just gathered them up and ran away.

    Then you die by a monster.

    Or get taken away by others.

    Or maybe you succeed in hiding with an object.

    Shin Yuna was neither.

    At first, she didn’t even think about packing her things.

    But it was only on the second day that I felt the seriousness of the situation.

    No matter how long I waited, the rescue team did not come. There was no broadcast or internet.

    Neither the police nor firefighters nor soldiers came to rescue anyone.

    Waiting for an uncertain rescue that may come.

    I had to endure and survive with people.

    To do that, the most important food was needed.

    “What should I do… . There is nothing to eat anywhere.”

    In fact, there were people hiding everywhere, gathering food and hiding so that they could not be seen.

    Shin Yuna, who was slow to react, did not know that.

    “What would the Lord do in times like this? If it’s the Lord… … .”

    If it’s the Lord, maybe.

    Perhaps he shared his blood and flesh to feed others.

    “If I had the power to do that… … .”

    But that couldn’t be done.

    A miracle that only the Lord can do.

    You can make food from your own body.

    Such a miraculous thing.

    [‘Survivor ability’ has been granted.]

    “… … Huh?”

    [The ability given to you is ‘A caterpillar that metamorphoses after 15 days.’]

    I started to feel something stirring inside my sleeve.
