“Buddha once said that life is suffering. Although he was only an unsaved human being, he had insight into the world. This world is suffering. Why is heaven and earth full of evil? “Why is life a repetition of suffering?”
I didn’t know it would be like this.
“That is because this world was created by the hand of a liar. everyone. The Lord is coming. The Lord is coming to save you. The Lord’s daughter leads you into paradise.”
I expected something occult or a crazy atmosphere full of human sacrifice.
“Put it down. Lighten your body and mind. Do people who are leaving for paradise need to hold on to this or that? money? property? What does it mean? Let’s put it all down. body? Put that down first. “An immortal body has been prepared in paradise, so why do you have regrets?”
I’m rather surprised because the speech is so ordinary and pseudo-like.
Why on earth did I end up listening to a sermon from a pseudo-pastor for over an hour?
It started in the morning.
*
I came to my senses in the morning, shared a rough plan with Ari, and headed straight to the old school building.
I prepared at least 10 excuses to use if I was caught by a teacher or something, but strangely enough, I met several people on the way to the old school building, but no one caught me.
If you think about it, this school was originally established to send students and faculty to the old school without being noticed. If the fish wants to go to the net on its own feet, there is no reason to stop it.
The atmosphere at the old school was different from what I had heard through the chat window so far. He heard neither a strange glow nor a mysterious singing sound.
As we entered, a person appeared to guide the believers. He was an ordinary human being.
It looks like my hypothesis from yesterday is turning out to be correct.
Still, you never know what will happen in a place like this. I transformed the status window into filter mode and covered my entire field of view. It feels like my vision is slightly blurred, but it’s okay.
I followed along with a polite feeling, imitating the ‘feeling of the angel’s brainwashing’ as much as possible.
And then we arrived at the basement.
Vast.
Can you believe that there is a space in the basement of the old school building that seems larger than the entire old school building? It feels like looking at pictures of icebergs floating in the ocean that I often see on the Internet. This photo shows huge ice floating above, but in fact, the ice is only a small portion, less than 5% of the total.
It’s just this old school. There was a space similar to a small village where hundreds of people lived.
As I passed by, I looked around. Familiar faces here and there. It is as Songi reported. The people here are probably the ‘sources’ of most of the school’s students and teachers.
As I looked at their expressions, I felt creepy. A gentle and warm expression, with the corners of the mouth slightly raised. At first glance, it is an expression that puts the viewer’s mind at ease.
Unless hundreds of people all have the same expression.
As I lowered my head in displeasure, I also imitated that smile in my own way.
After walking for about 30 minutes, we came to the ‘chapel’. So I started listening to endless sermons at the chapel.
*
‘angel’
When I first saw it, I was overwhelmed without even thinking about it.
A surreal charisma that makes you worship just by looking at it without covering the view with a status window. A divine appearance that cannot even be expressed with the word beauty. A song echoing from the sky. With a single wave of his hand, he summons heavenly waves, and with a single prayer, dozens of messengers are brought back to life.
How on earth can you not worship a being like this?
As time passed, the ‘cold heart’ awakened. Maybe it’s the effect of the ‘blessing of wisdom’ that Ari often mentions.
Two reasons came to mind.
‘Angels’ are more aware of the outside world than you might think. Rather than kidnapping people at random, they make up the pretext of being an entrance exam school, and when someone dies, they call the police to take care of it. If a truly omnipotent being were to exist, would there be any reason to care about ‘insignificant humans’?
‘Elena’s’ blessing of justice passed on to ‘Angel’. According to the explanation in the Sanctuary of Blessing for ‘Justice’ and our guesses, it must be a blessing that only works within the framework of a ‘human’.
perhaps.
Aren’t ‘angels’ just humans who have gained special powers?
Also, can ‘humans’ wield such transcendent power without restrictions?
Even if there are restrictions, it is unknown what type they will be. It could be ‘cool time’ like Seung-yeop, or it could be ‘body load’ like Song-i. Like Elena, it may be ‘very difficult conditions’.
I will figure out the constraints. And maybe… .
*
Even after the sermon was over and everyone came out and twirled around the strange sculpture, the angel, or ‘Daughter of Heaven’ as they called it, did not appear. In a normal religion, a high-ranking person equivalent to a religious leader would not appear every time a new member joins, but this religion is different.
It has been confirmed that whenever new people come in, the ‘Daughter of Heaven’ personally welcomes them and brings them in by subduing them with her overwhelming charisma.
However, it hasn’t come out yet. The aftermath of yesterday’s fight must have remained.
Another peculiarity.
If you use your brain a little, you can see elements that are too easy to break down.
When people come in from outside, there is no physical examination, so it is easy for them to bring weapons or weapons. If you think about it, it’s natural. In the first place, the method is to bring in school staff or students, but what kind of weapons or deadly weapons do they have? The ‘Daughter of Heaven’ will even mentally subdue her while bringing her there, so the tension is worth going away.
If you somehow manage to obtain a ‘weapon’ and enter, this place is easier to solve than you might think.
In this way, we proceeded step by step, thinking about ‘what to do next time’.
*
What time was it?
I’m not sure about the time in the basement of the old school building. It’s not particularly dark because it’s underground. In fact, it’s like they’ve set up their own kingdom underground, so it’s brightly lit and well-ventilated, but there’s no clock.
According to the plan made in the morning, Ari’s activities will begin in earnest around evening. Before that, I have to draw ‘aggro’ here and make it difficult for ‘Daughter of Heaven’ or the church’s strike force to move.
For that, I wish I could meet the ‘Daughter of Heaven’… .
I decided to ask the preacher who held the title of ‘deacon’ directly.
“Mr. Deacon.”
“hmm?”
“Thank you for today’s teaching. It was a time to think about the meaning of ‘Lord.’ However, as a non-sensitive person, I would like to receive more teachings from the ‘Daughter of Heaven’ who enlightened me yesterday. “Can I possibly meet you?”
…
quiet.
…
There is no answer.
The moment I raise my head in wonder.
I saw the deacon’s eyes widen and spinning in disgust!
If I hadn’t kept the status window in filter mode, something would have happened now.
“Hmm. You definitely need more ‘education’. I understand. Sometimes, there are children who are slow to accept teachings because they are too stained by the worldly world. But it’s not bad. A large bowl fills up slowly. It is my belief that children who accept things slowly will grow up greatly. “Follow me.”
Did it go well? Just now, I made some mistake. The ‘gwon’ knew that his brainwashing of me was incomplete! However, it does not seem like Ari even realized that the brainwashing had been completely lifted due to ‘some kind of action’ taken.
‘A child who accepts things slowly’. In other words, do you think that although brainwashed, it is incomplete?
I guess it’s good. If only I could reach the ‘Daughter of Heaven’.
*
The place where the ‘Daughter of Heaven’ stayed was neither particularly fancy nor in a strange place. It doesn’t look much different from this underground ‘house’ where other church members live.
If it weren’t for the help of the deacon, I think it would have been difficult to find it on my own. I memorized the location in case I came back later. By any chance, the location won’t change, right?
—Knock. Knock.
“Aurelia. “This is Park Soo-hyuk, your faithful servant.”
“Didn’t I say I was going to rest today because I was tired?”
“sorry. However, the student who was directly taught yesterday seemed to be slow to accept the teaching… . “I tried to ‘finish’ it, but it wasn’t easy.”
“… If so, please come in.”
Is it this easy? I was thinking hard about plan bcdef in case of failure, but a is this easy? The most important being in the church allows access so easily even though he is in a weakened state?
They have absolute faith in their ‘ability to suppress the mind.’ So much so that you don’t even suspect that the other person will rebel.
Use this belief and next time –
no.
‘At this chance’.
Can an opportunity like this come easily? Perhaps, I may have reached this situation through good luck without even realizing it.
One time, we decided to compete. Ari will escape anyway, right?
*
“Come in.”
The inside of the house was clean. Other than the bare minimum household appliances, there is no TV or anything like that.
Be as polite as possible. With the heart of a servant who serves the daughter of the great God.
I went in with my posture as low as possible, recalling the attitude the ‘gwon’ had shown to the ‘daughter of heaven’ earlier.
The appearance of a daughter of heaven. What did it look like? Ridiculously, I don’t remember. I’m sure I saw it just yesterday.
The moment I saw it, I thought it had a beauty out of this world, and I thought it had the appearance of an angel. When I try to remember what it looks like in detail, only a vague image comes to mind.
Was that surreal beauty created by magical powers?
The daughter of heaven sat on the sofa.
“you. Little lamb. “Open your heart and lift your head up.”
I slowly raised my head.
For the first time, we take a look at the ‘true daughter of heaven’ with the halo removed.
It’s pretty even without the halo.
Age: roughly mid 20s? Black hair, brown eyes. A bit of a western feel. Wherever he goes, his appearance attracts everyone’s attention.
however –
It definitely doesn’t feel like an ‘angel’. This woman. She definitely can’t use her angel powers right now.
“There are many walls in your heart. Learning is delayed because one does not accept the Lord’s teachings with one’s soul, and the depraved mind of the world continues to remain. However, what the deacon said is not wrong. A bowl that fills slowly is a wide bowl. “Come here and sit comfortably.”
I feel it again. In a way, even though he was the student who had caused the accident yesterday, they were extremely generous once they thought he had become a member of their church. Thinking about what I was about to do, I felt a little guilty.
As I went to sit in front, the ‘Daughter of Heaven’ brought her face closer and made eye-to-eye contact.
and –
I didn’t feel the need to be patient anymore.
—–Phew!
“Gagging! Huh! “What on earth is this?”
“If I kill you, will the curse in this room be resolved?”
“What on earth… . What bullshit… . Kwon-Hup”
“I’m sorry for covering your mouth. Let’s finish this quickly. “I never thought I would do something like this in my life.”
Really – helpless.
There was no angel before me, no ‘daughter of heaven’. Just one woman, pierced by her sword, losing all her halo, her body freezing cold.
ah. You solved it. I feel relieved.
It hasn’t been long since we parted ways, but I already miss my hotel colleagues! I waited for the hotel to notify me that the problem had been resolved.
The window was opened.
Heavenly waves crashed down.

…
…
…
My soul wanders in endless space. I became one of the countless stones scattered across the universe.
…….
Endless time. Endless length. Even the standards for measuring time have passed the collapsed horizon.
…….
…..
..
Running endlessly through space.
earth? sun? Countless stars passed by.
…
infinite space. infinite time.
…
We reached a plain where everything stood still. I knew what to do.
…
I walked and walked again. Until I can atone for even one thousandth of my sins committed against the daughter of heaven. After starving for 40 days in the wilderness, Christ faced Satan and overcame temptation.
I am not Christ. A weak and foolish person cannot endure it.
…
pain. suffering. The cycle of Sisyphus, where everything repeats itself endlessly.
…
I heard a voice. I heard the voice of mercy rescuing a young sinner.
…
I walked frantically, following the guidance of the voice. Run? flew? I don’t know. I ran and flew endlessly until I reached the voice. He is the heavenly throne. He is the master of the world. He is the eternal master of mankind.
..
I knelt in front of him and bowed. I will serve the master of the world forever. Together with Aurelia, I will be the hand, son, and servant of the Lord.
[Activate filter mode, close your eyes and cover your ears]
My cold heart awakened.
confusion. fear.
Where on earth is this place? What on earth am I going through?
Above all, what is that thing in front of me… .
Something – a radiance struck me.
I feel my consciousness drifting away… .
/You failed to escape!
You have cool-headedly come one step closer to the truth hidden by the secret cult! However, wasn’t it a hasty decision to recklessly attempt to assassinate the Daughter of Heaven without sufficient preparation? See Josie –
No, son. You have not failed. Wait for my call… . I have given light to you.
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, you are right.

Colleagues are successful! Congratulations! ——————-Return safelyㅣᅟᅡᆼㄴhead—/
