Elena sniffled and grabbed my arm.
“Sister Elena. “Did you wake up in the facility?”
“Ugh… I was clearly in a dog state, but then suddenly I came to my senses. “In addition to me, all four people woke up.”
“If there are four people… Seungyeop and Eunsol noona died before they woke up, so there are Ga-in oppa, Jincheol oppa, Mukseong grandpa, and Ari. Plus my sister.”
“huh. Everyone is confused. It’s so scary here. I really don’t know what’s going on… Did Songi wake up and explore a place like this alone?”
“It happened quite a while ago. “To the point where I don’t remember much.”
“Okay… let’s go meet the others quickly.”
—-Poof!
While they were having a random conversation, Elena lashed out the knife in her arms like a comb and pierced Songi.
Can not help it. Because Songi is being mind-controlled by aliens!
Rather, it would be a mercy to end it this quickly.
Consciousness becomes blurred
*
Before my eyes, Elena stabbed herself with a knife and collapsed.
This is the only way I can do it
Honestly, it was so obvious. In this situation, hotel colleagues suddenly appear. Even the acting was awkward.
I don’t know how Athanasia, who dominates ‘Elena’, interpreted ‘Elena’.
At least the ‘Elena’ I know isn’t the type to cry like a child and hold on to my arms.
However, he could not loosen his control over Elena’s sister, that is, the order to ‘kill Song-i’.
I realized this as soon as I started using the bracelet. The entity that controls Elena is an entity whose mind control skills are overwhelmingly higher than mine.
It’s probably Athanasia.
The domination itself could not be resolved. There was nothing she could do other than distort her sister’s five senses, induce self-harm, and kill her.
Are they going to kill Elena a second time now? She’s getting used to it.
The first time was possession, but the next time was soberness. Will there be a next time?
I grew up hearing outside the hotel that I was a stuffy and timid person who couldn’t even kill an ant…
I hated those words, but I really didn’t know that I would turn 180 degrees and live my life killing someone close to me twice.
Elena’s control cannot be broken, but it doesn’t seem like everything she says is a lie.
Perhaps it is not a lie to say that the four people except Seung-yeop and Eun-sol, who are already dead, have ‘awakened’.
However, one thing that puzzles me is that the teacher must have ‘stopped’ the Athanasias in the ‘Engine Room’, so how on earth do they control humans to attack me?
Is it a stronger entity than a normal Athanasia? I guess it’s good.
We headed out to face the final ordeal the hotel had prepared for us.
*
——bang!
How can a person hit a structure with his fist and it makes a sound like hitting a hammer?
Would I survive if I got hit by a fist like that?
——bang!
Almost 3 minutes. She rolled and rolled around frantically.
Jincheol oppa’s outrageous physical abilities.
-Pow!
Ah, I got hit by Ga-in oppa. I will definitely go out and get revenge.
The bigger problem is that there is one more person.
The reason why I was able to endure for several minutes in the joint attack of Ga-in oppa, who is not at the level of Jin-cheol oppa, who seems completely out of character, but is at the level of an ordinary adult man, is simple.
This is because as soon as I met him, I almost instinctively twisted my perspective and lost focus.
There was no room for further manipulation. Unlike Elena, both of them rushed to kill me as soon as they saw me!
As the focus of both eyes became distorted, there were two instances where the two attacked each other.
After that, they were able to avoid it by attacking each other sequentially rather than at the same time…
How long can we avoid this?
At some point, when I get tired and can’t move, Jincheol oppa’s absurdly powerful punch will come.
Even if I get hit by a raindrop, I feel like I’m going to die.
There is no point in wasting time. In the first place, your opponent will have much better physical strength.
All I need is just one moment. If I could hold on to one person for just 3 seconds…
In the end, it’s a moment where a decision is needed.
———thud!
My left arm was crushed in an instant. It’s like a rubber band as it flows down.
Normally, the moment your arm gets damaged like this, wouldn’t you faint from the pain?
Should I say I am fortunate?
I gradually became accustomed to mental manipulation through ‘different perspectives’, and I had long since blocked my sense of pain.
But… the feeling of looking at your arms as flaccid as noodles is truly subtle.
The moment when Handae was deflected with his left arm.
I gained 3 seconds. With my good right arm, I blindly grabbed Jincheol’s upper body and made eye contact with him.
There is no need for a long time. Just 3 seconds. Erased ‘me’ from her brother’s eyes.
And Jincheol oppa overlaid ‘my image’ on Gain oppa that he recognized.
If Jincheol oppa had intellectual ability, he wouldn’t be fooled by this ignorant manipulation of changing his appearance.
However, the two of them didn’t have any conversation after meeting me and just rushed at each other in ignorance.
Clearly suppressed intellect. So wouldn’t this ignorant manipulation work?
The prediction was correct.
Aha, it takes less than 10 seconds for Jincheol oppa to beat Gain oppa to death.
After that, I naturally thought about making Jincheol oppa dive from a position almost 5 stories high outside the facility to catch Songi floating in the air.
What on earth am I doing here?
The heart of a person who seemed to have dried out a long time ago still has water left to squeeze out, and water is squeezed out of the eyes.
I want to go out. It’s so – painful.
*
My body doesn’t move well.
I guess it’s because I was beaten several times by Jincheol oppa and Gain oppa.
When I got hit, I wanted to go out and get revenge…
I killed them both with my own hands, so there is no need for revenge.
It is said that pain was blocked with a bracelet, but the bracelet is a tool to trick the mind, not a healing tool.
There was no way to force his broken body to move.
Is it possible to beat Grandpa Mukseong or Ari in this condition?
When I was almost approaching the central cavity where the ‘teacher’ was trapped, forcing my half-collapsed body.
There was a flash of light.
Ari ‘flew’ like lightning and grabbed me by the neck!
What is this?
I don’t understand. The bracelet only manipulates the target’s mind and doesn’t give any supernatural powers!
Ari said, ‘Fly!’ There’s no way I could fly, so how did this happen?
Unless Ahri can fly regardless of the bracelet –
In an instant, my throat tightened and I couldn’t breathe. Even the bracelet didn’t work.
What on earth is this kid?
Is this how it ends? Have you been suffering like that for weeks, maybe even months? It ends in vain like this?
ah————–
“Oh my, I’m sorry”
?
“It was a little late to wake up. I also find it difficult to completely control this. “But you woke up before you killed her sister.”
“You, you, what the hell…”
“But what on earth is this facility? I woke up, but I really don’t know anything. I really don’t know anything.
But I know one thing. While we were all playing with animals, you did a lot of the work by yourself, right?
It seems like I reached this feeling on my own right before the final conclusion…”
“…”
“Your eyes are full of questions. But so do I. There are so many things I want to ask my sister.
But I guess now is not the time. I usually don’t like things like this, but this time, I’ll trust the judgment of someone who got to the end alone.
sister. “What do you think I should do?”
question. question. question. Countless? rises from the head.
What on earth is this?
But Ari is right. Now is not the time to satisfy your curiosity.
“I’m sorry – please die. “If you are mind-controlled again, I don’t think there will be an answer.”
“I just woke up, so I can’t believe I’m just going to die. Her sister is a scary person. “Is it the same for Grandfather Mukseong?”
“same here. Atana – I don’t know, anyway, the ‘enemy’ can control your mind. “If you can’t keep your sanity like this, just die.”
“… It was only a brief conversation, but I felt it. You seem like a completely different person than before. To this extent… he didn’t seem like a person with strong judgment and quick decisions.”
“…”
Ari tilted his head for a moment and looked at me.
By the way, what Ga-in oppa said in passing is true.
This guy’s way of speaking is subtly arbitrary.
At first it was your sister, but now it’s you.
Before turning around,
Ari left his will in this room.
“Thank you so much. I believe you will reach the end and I will die first. At least, neither I nor Grandpa Mukseong will be in the way.”
*
You came
“…”
I waited for you
“Are you already free?”
You can see it that way
“I thought I had to disable all three controls?”
When you cut down all of your comrades, Iza’s heart broke as he realized he had no cards left.
So, I solved the third one myself… If you look at cause and effect, it is no different from the fact that you solved all three in the end.
The special Athanasia I saw a few days ago.
An object without even legs, with a huge body full of tentacles, like a spider starfish millions of times enlarged, is sprawled out in front of the ‘teacher’s’ tank.
“Is this Athanasia… controlling the minds of my companions?”
Yes. Since this object was recently ‘developed’, I only found out about its abilities later.
Some kind of enhanced entity. You can even resist my ‘freeze’.
Maybe it was an object prepared by Athanasia as a counter to me.
“Well, I guess that’s how he died in the end.”
Your balls are big.
I raise my head and look at the ‘teacher’, or rather the ‘swallower’.
Why didn’t I know?
Why did I think that this being was an infinitely beautiful, mysterious and benevolent creature?
It was only now that I realized that I could protect my mind with a bracelet.
The being that appeared before my eyes was the most ominous symbol in the universe.
The screams of infinitely many intelligent beings swirl around, with the endless evil force condensed into a single point. I finally found out.
The Athanasias have extracted and bred the intelligence of countless intelligent beings.
It is to offer it up to the absolute evil right in front of us!
My whole body is shaking.
You are afraid of me.
“Now I can see your true horror.”
It’s the truth. Are you sure of that?
“What… do you mean?”
There’s still time, so let’s talk some more. It might be okay to just watch something fun.
Suddenly my consciousness soared endlessly.
A vast expanse of outer space.
Dozens of small rooms revolving around the ‘engine’ where the ‘devourer’ resides.
What was happening in those rooms was immediately stuck in my mind.
Unidentified hands rose up from all over the room and squeezed all of Athanasia.
From still-living bodies to adult bodies. No one makes a distinction, and the ‘hand’ is the hell of the last days that tears and squeezes Athanasia to the point of thoroughness.
“What the hell is this…”
Isn’t it a sight worth seeing?
“Why are you doing this?”
It’s a simple story. It may not be fun, but just listen as if you’re listening to the teacher’s rant.
The group dramas created by ‘Tower of Trials’ are not, in fact, complete creations. They reproduce events that actually occurred in the history of the ‘real universe’. Of course, it comes with its own variations.
Before I was locked up in the tower, I was actually imprisoned by the Athanasias for eons.
So I just give it back fairly.
“Estabio said you couldn’t get out of here anyway and that he had a separate purpose. Is ‘revenge’ your goal?”
You can see it that way. It looks pretty unpleasant. Do you feel any sympathy for the Athanasias?
Even knowing how they treated countless intelligent beings? Even you humans were sacrificed. Didn’t you slaughter the Athanasian beings yourself in the first place?
“I… I mean…”
I’m not blaming you. I discuss human immaturity.
“Human immaturity?”
Humans cannot escape the framework of their senses and nature. Why are you displeased when you see this sight?
Because you truly judged Athanasia’s suffering to be unjust? You will know for yourself that this is not the case.
Simply because your true nature is afraid of the cruel scene unfolding before your eyes.
“Why is it wrong to feel discomfort or fear while seeing cruel scenes?”
Hey kid. I don’t say right or wrong. I want to tell you about the mindset you need to endure this tower of trials.
You said it earlier. He saw my true face and realized that I was an ugly being.
look again now
My consciousness dropped in an instant, and I stood in front of the ‘swallower’ again.
In front of me was the teacher I first met the day I woke up at the ranch.
In the world – the most beautiful creature. A body that shines like starlight, and small wings filled with hazy brilliance. The glory of God that came down from heaven.
Do you still see me as ugly?
“I don’t know anything. “I just realized that you broke my heart.”
Hey kid. Don’t be fooled by what you see. beauty. Ugly. Sacred. Wicked.
You are making all these judgments based on visible beauty and ugliness. Close your eyes and think. Have I ever harmed you?
I haven’t changed in any way, but you completely overturn your evaluation of me simply based on my appearance. This is human weakness. I wanted to tell you that.
Free yourself from the limitations of your senses. Embrace clear reason. For that I have given you a bracelet.
Consciousness ascends again.
No, this time it was not my consciousness that ascended, but my body itself.
What is going on?
At some point, the spaceship collapsed, the universe collapsed, and the ‘stage’ collapsed.
And there is only one truth left. The reality of Room 103 appears after all fiction disappears.
The door – appeared.
My whole body was shaking and I held on to the doorknob.
Finally, my long nightmare was over.
Losing consciousness – I thought. So what exactly was the ‘devourer’? god? devil?
under! I knew the answer from the beginning.
He is my ‘teacher’. I don’t think there’s any need for unnecessary modifiers there.
/You succeeded! A human kennel crueler than hell! However, humans also breed lower beings than themselves for their own purposes.
Maybe it’s meaningless to discuss these things as good or evil? Anyway, it’s good! Neutralize all allies, infinitely strong enemies! You have overcome all those trials and finally reached the final conclusion.
By freeing the Devourer and succeeding in eliminating all Athanasias, the source of the curse has been resolved. congratulations.
…
…
…
…
The final solution occurred among my colleagues! congratulations! A final solution has occurred and all members return safely.
