Before re-entering room 203, we made our own plans on how to proceed. You must take the ‘core’, the power source of the spaceship, to the mountain range.
However, it turned out that the word ‘take’ in that simple plan was an unimplementable word.
Miro, who actually saw the core in the previous episode, only vaguely recognized the shape of the core, because the actual core was much larger than Miro remembered and was a machine that endlessly radiated heat.
You want us to move this stuff?
Fortunately, this problem was easily solved. This is because the core was a mobile machine that could move on its own by simply specifying a destination.
It’s not strange. In the first place, civilized people in the past would not have lifted and moved this machine by hand.
Therefore, the problem was not the core but ‘us’.
“Now do we have to walk to the mountains? Just with bare legs?”
“It would be impossible to board a moving core, right?”
“If I get close, I’ll burn to death?”
The group that moved the core 1800 years ago probably had a separate means of transportation. We just don’t have that right now.
Silence spread around for a moment.
Songi, who tamed the flying monster for us, was buried in a primitive plain, and for some reason, the primitive people who served Elena and Seungyeop until they arrived at the building and provided them with food and water have no survivors.
“That can’t be possible.”
Everyone’s expressions darkened along with Elena’s calm answer. This is because everyone sensed that something ominous was about to happen.
There is only one of us who can create a supernatural being capable of transporting all of us quickly.

There is darkness inside the building. The furniture, which had been neat until yesterday, was suddenly covered with spider webs and dust that had sprouted from all directions.
The clean walls peeled away, revealing the unidentifiable steel frame inside, and a continuous creaking sound began to come from the ceiling.
— Ugh!
A faint sobbing sound is heard from somewhere. At the same time, the constant sound of the wind resonated, creating an unbearably gloomy atmosphere.
The mysterious building left behind by the masters of a brilliant civilization that had reached science fiction technology has been turned into a horror movie filming location.
Jincheol’s gloomy voice was heard.
“… How long are we going to have to endure this shit?”
“Until Elena says it’s all over?”
“Oh my! “You should at least drink water.”
My sister said with a wry smile.
“Check the water condition.”
“It’s green.”
When Jincheol poured water on the floor, the table began to melt, accompanied by a strong smell.
When the older brother was speechless, the older sister spoke again.
“Why on earth is this shit happening…?” .”
Why did the building look like this?
This is because Elena could not create a monster in the air with a single wave of her hand.
Just as I couldn’t explain the principles of the grimoire, Elena also didn’t know the principles of sinister imagination. She just knows how to use it.
As Elena explains, devils are born in hell just as angels are born in heaven.
“It is said that a demon powerful enough to transport us across continents can only be born in a hell worthy of it.”
“I heard that explanation too. That’s why they turned this building into hell. “What I’m curious about is whether this complicated ‘pre-work’ can be omitted.”
A pale hand came out from under the sofa and grabbed my sister’s ankle. Before his sister’s expression hardened, Jincheol quickly ripped her hand off.
The ominous imagination is so powerful that it seems to be the highest point among the powers we gained from the hotel.
Collapse of buildings, poisoning, sudden accidents or even epidemics.
It can cause all the ‘ominous things’ that humans can imagine, and it can also create powerful monsters that only appear in dreams.
Even though Elena still finds it difficult, the original owner of the ability was even able to strengthen herself.
“It’s omitted… .”
“lets think. In the past, all the monsters Elena created were time-limited, right?”
“I did.”
“At some point, the time that monsters existed became much longer. “It’s about overcoming your weaknesses.”
I think I know what you mean.
As time passed, Songi used the bracelet longer.
I awakened some of the new power of the Grimoire, the power of Avatar, in the frozen snow field.
Ari awakened the various powers hidden in old blood over a long period of time.
I am not sure whether this growth is the growth of the heritage itself or the growth of us as users, but either way, it means that this power can grow.
Elena also, unlike in the beginning, the amount of time she can keep the monster alive has become much longer.
“It might be possible someday.”
“Yeah, right?”
“But I think it will take a very long time.”
“okay?”
It reminded me of Beatrix from No. 201, who was the original owner of the ability.
The monster she created could last forever, and she could even create a powerful body that contained only her own spirit.
This means that her skill level was incomparably higher than that of the current Elena, but even she couldn’t create a monster out of thin air.
Therefore, the lead researcher had to create a facility that brutally kills anyone who enters it.
“Devils can only be born in hell… . “Even Beatrix couldn’t overcome this problem.”
“It did.”
“therefore -”
At that moment, Elena’s frustration exploded upstairs.
“Can’t everyone just shut up? “Even if I scream and howl, it’s not enough!”
“…”
“…”
“Kya ah ah ah ah.”
“Uh ah ah ah ah.”
“Please stop acting like it doesn’t work for both. Elena, I’m sorry!”
“Gain, if you apologize, Elena will come to her senses later and be embarrassed…” .”
“Sister, it seems like that kind of talk itself is a distraction.”
“I see. “Then shall we help Elena and have a conversation worthy of hell?”
“A story fit for hell?”
Just hearing it made me already anxious.
“Elena took Seungyeop with her to manifest her ominous imagination.”
“…”
Yes. The reason there are only three people on the first floor now, my older sister, and Jincheol, is because Elena took Seungyeop.
“It is said that Seung-yeop helps one think of hell. What is the reason?”
“Sister, just speak calmly. “What happened yesterday?”
My older sister looked upstairs with a somewhat confused expression for a moment, then suddenly opened her mouth.
“Seungyeop threw all the primitive people into the monster’s mouth.”
“yes?”
“hmm?”
“Do you remember that there were five or six monsters near the building?”
“…”
“Suddenly all of those monsters disappeared and we became safe, right?”
“We have never seen anything like it. “My sister just saw it on her own and told me.”
“okay. “As I watched, the monsters suddenly moved somewhere and started ‘eating’ frantically.”
“…”
“Hundreds of primitive people flying in the sky… . As the ‘fairies’ that Elena probably created ran away in all directions, the monsters also disappeared, chasing after them to eat them. “That’s it.”
“Wow, how on earth did you do that?”
“Elena says that in the beginning, humans acted like shamans who could see the future. “She saw the monsters and said that if you bravely face them and overcome them, you can go to heaven.”
“Does that make sense? Are you fooled by those words?”
“Don’t you know that billions of people on Earth still believe in religion? “I also believe in Buddhism.”
“Huh!”
“Even in the eyes of the primitive people of this world, Seung-yeop, who wrote The Beginning of Man, must have really been an angel and apostle given by God.”
“…”
I thought I knew what it meant.
I didn’t have to go far, because in the first round, I sent primitive people wandering around nearby to pull out the robots from the mountain range.
It is quite possible. This is because a god who can perform miracles can reign over the primitive people of this planet with his devilish charisma.
The Seung-yeop of the first round, who was considered useless to primitive people as his blessings weakened, and the Seung-yeop of today, who used the humans from the beginning, are completely different beings.
“What did you do next?”
“Let me ask you a question at this point. “The first human command language was created by Ga-in after you and the doctor thought about it, right?”
That’s not it.
“No. Basically, Seungyeop is the one. In the first place, neither I nor the teacher have ever written The Beginning of Man, so it is difficult to know what content should be included and what content cannot be understood.”
“Then how do you or the doctor give Seungyeop advice?”
“yes.”
“What did you advise?”
“The goal is to find the maze and join it. “I also included the phrase ‘never harm us’ here.”
“The commands are just plain… .”
“What did Seungyeop do after he sacrificed the primitive people?”
“They said he walked casually through the storm and suddenly stopped near the research center.”
“Because you stopped?”
“When Elena got closer… . “They say there was ‘remnants’ of the maze.”
“… That’s even more terrifying. What about Songi? “Didn’t the accident happen while moving with Song?”
“They said there was no trace of Songi.”
“Did it get eaten without a trace?”
“maybe. Or, if you die while summoned here in time, your body may disappear. “Let’s go out and ask Miro about that.”
My brother, who was listening, sighed.
“The topic of conversation is perfect for hell. So Seung-yeop found Miro’s body and the original human was released?”
“I guess so.”
“So you were still in the original human state until then?”
“maybe.”
“No, I mean -”
If you use the Primal Man for too long, the time until you can use it again increases dramatically.
Under the circumstances, Seungyeop was in his original human state for more than a week.
“If you write this long, when will you write the next original human?”
“Jincheol. “You don’t have to worry about that in this room.”
My brother thought about what I was talking about for a moment and found the answer.
“… Because 1800 years pass each time the room starts?”
“Yes. “The waiting time for the ability will pass while Seungyeop sleeps.”
Seungyeop’s sponsor gave him the primordial human and said that this power would be very useful in room 203. Everyone now understood its meaning.
However, there was one problem.
“What if this is the last episode? “Then what happens?”
“Let’s go out and think about it.”
After a while, my brother smiled and said to me.
“I’m saying it because it feels like it’s coming to an end, but isn’t room 203 surprisingly easy?”
“…Why do you say that?”
“No, I mean, the food was bad and it was hard to walk and all that, but there wasn’t much that was life-threatening.”
“…”
“Are the people who died now Miro and Songi? Songi died along with Miro, so in reality, the only person who was in danger was Miro.”
“Eight!”
My older sister, who heard this, hit Jincheol with the towel she had wrapped around her neck.
To me, those words that came out of my brother’s mouth were more ominous than all the ominous phenomena that Elena had caused in this building so far combined.
— Gooooooo!
A blasphemous howl shook the heavens and earth. Finally, Elena created a monster to transport us to the mountains.
Three days later, we reunited with my grandfather and the doctor in the mountains.
