Episode 518 – Room 207, The Gate Room – The Fourth Trial ‘The Fallen King’ (4)
– Trainee, Kim Min-a
— Bam!
As I was about to turn my gaze when I heard a strange noise behind me, I heard a menacing sound from in front of me.
“I tried to hold it in, but I couldn’t! Park Min-seung, you son of a bitch, who the hell are you to me -”
“Let go! Let go, let go! Fuck, I said I was sorry!”
“I’m sorry.”
Out of nowhere, class president Hojin rushed at the delinquent Minseung because of the fight from earlier!
The class president was momentarily taken aback by the ear-piercing, vulgar insults, but then suddenly began to strangle the punk’s neck.
“Ugh~! Eugh, eugh! Kreuk!”
The kids stood up in surprise as the class leader strangled the punk’s neck so much that the veins on his arms swelled.
However, no one stepped forward to stop them, and everyone just stood there helplessly, not knowing what to do.
Explosive anger over a situation that had already ended, and harsh curses that the class president would not have used under his usual personality!
Haven’t we seen similar phenomena many times before?
It’s a devil disaster!
“Ah, it’s the devil! Hojin is possessed by the devil….”
Instead of trying to stop them, the frightened children retreated.
The moment I decided to step forward before the punk died, the squad leader suddenly stood up with a blank expression.
“Huh? Huh? What, what is it?”
“Keep going~! Keke!”
“What is it? Min Seung-ah? Are you okay? Why are you under me?”
Has the class president come to his senses?
I’ve never come to my senses so quickly –
— Bam!
Again a sound was heard from behind, and the boy’s voice was startled.
“What the heck is this book?”
Everyone’s eyes turned to the back of the chapel.
One of the large tables in the sanctuary where the Bibles are stored had moved sideways, which must have caused the loud crash.
As the desk moved, the knees of a female student underneath it were naturally exposed.
On her lap lay a ‘black book’.
Anyone can see that it is an ominous sight that is far from the Bible!
“You’re the author, right?”
“What? Hey Seo Ji-eun! What’s that book? Where did you get it -”
The moment the author flinched in embarrassment and waved his hands, the book disappeared into thin air!
“Chae, a book? There’s nothing like that.”
A lie so immature it’s laughable!
All fifteen students in the chapel were reading the book, so do you think you can fool them by making it invisible?
Rather, it simply turned everyone’s suspicions into certainty.
As if he had been waiting, the punk who had been making noise on the floor shouted firmly as if he had woken up.
“There he is! Did you all see the strange book in Seo, Seo Ji-eun’s hand? It’s definitely it! Hey! Cha Eun-ho! Grab that!”
The class president, who came to his senses late, also noticed the situation and shouted at Beomsaeng, who was near the author.
“Eunho! Catch Ji-eun!”
“Uh, uh!”
When he was told to catch something here and there, he gained unexpected courage and approached Seo Ji-eun, who had always been cowering.
“… like.”
The author extended his finger with a refreshing smile.
Immediately afterwards, Beomsaeng rolled around on the floor, foaming at the mouth, without even screaming.
“Ugh, ugh!”
Fear spreads in an instant.
Seo Ji-eun looked around at everyone, smiling openly, as if she had no more intention of hiding it.
“Aren’t you guys idiots? Who are you telling me to catch? Is it you, Hojin?”
The designated squad leader was pinned to the wall, pale and pale.
“Ji, Ji-eun… Save me! I, I’ve never bullied you, right? Oh, you know? P, I’ve always tried to help you -”
“Okay. I’ll let Hojin take care of it. Then… is that you, Minseung?”
Immediately the thug’s expression turned pale.
Unlike the class president who was not usually the type to bully anyone, the thug now seemed helpless and helpless!
Soon, the thug began to strangle the man with his own hands.
“Ugh! Ugh!”
“Oh my, Min Seung-ah. It seems like God isn’t helping you? Even though you prayed so hard~!”
A playful voice.
The children were all lying on the floor or pressed against the walls in fear, not even able to think of running away.
…
This is enough.
— Clang!
It’s time to use the pistol hidden under your uniform.
“Seo Ji-eun, put the book down right now -”
Before I could finish speaking, the boy next to me blocked my path!
— Boom!
“no!”
I kicked the idiot in surprise and looked forward, and I heard the sound of someone running out of the chapel!
In the meantime, Seo Ji-eun ran away!
At first, I was confused.
This response was too fast, even if it was fast!
As if he knew from the beginning that I was an agent –
This is not the time! Chase!
*
— Bang! Bang!
I pulled the trigger repeatedly while chasing him, but I didn’t hit a single target.
It wasn’t a problem with my shooting skills, but because my opponent was aware of the gunfire and ran away using obstacles like bookshelves and doors!
Fortunately, the chase soon came to an end.
It was because the author’s physical strength was not that good, and he could not go out of the playground.
“Stop!”
“…”
A girl stopped in the middle of the playground, as if she had lost her mind.
Now the author can see it too.
Not only the main gate, but also the surrounding area of the school is surrounded by black armored vehicles and drones flying around the area!
By principle, he should be killed immediately.
It’s an open field, so there’s no way for the builder to avoid my gun.
“Seo Ji-eun. This is your final warning. Put the book down and surrender.”
“…”
“I said it was the last time! Now, if you destroy the book, there is a chance that the Inquisition will spare you -”
“… you.”
“uh?”
“What do you know! What do you know? You’re so pretty, and everyone is supporting you, so you’re really excited, right? Do you really think you’re some kind of princess? Don’t act so smart! You—”
Huh?
I was trying to save you but you suddenly started having a rash?
Are you usually jealous of me or something?
Even so, in this situation –
“Give me that body! Give me that body!”
When the ominous book appeared, written on black leather with obsidian dust – I made a decision with a heavy heart.
— Bang!
Blood spurted from the author’s chest, and the ominous book disappeared without a trace.
…
I approached the author with a sad feeling.
There was no grand intention.
I just wanted to watch the end of the girl I considered my best friend.
“…”
When I held the author’s hand in a depressed mood – I heard a small voice that seemed to tickle my ear.
*
That’s how the evil disaster that occurred at Hotel Go ended.
“There are four dead. Two were killed by that, the gym teacher? That guy’s bat. One was crushed to death while trying to escape. And the ‘witch’ was killed by a rescue agent at the scene.”
As the report was coming to a close, I looked gloomy and an Inquisition staff member comforted me.
“Agent Min-ah! Don’t be too heartbroken. You really think you killed four people and killed the witch, so you stopped it cheaply? Surely, you can now get rid of the disciplinary label -”
“Ahem, ahem. Agent, I heard you were quite close with the witch.”
“oh!”
“Uh, um. Well, you’ll have to get used to this part gradually -”
“are you okay.”
I left the uncomfortable position, repeating only that it was okay.
…
There is not an inch of falsehood in the employee’s statement that he stopped it cheaply because there were four victims.
If the witch hadn’t found the author, the Inquisition would have had to kill all the survivors in the hotel.
It was also fortunate that the location was a sports field.
Because it was a mentally eroding demonic disaster, the Inquisition did not hastily send people in, but they were checking the scene in real time using drones and other devices.
That is, Seo Ji-eun died in front of everyone.
Thanks to this, the Inquisition quickly declared the case resolved.
“Agent Kim Min-ah.”
“yes.”
“You worked hard today.”
“no.”
“Are you okay?”
“yes.”
“… the mental clinic is -”
“it’s okay.”
“Then take a break for about a week. I’ll contact you about the next mission then.”
“yes.”
*
Late at night.
I was lost in thought, wandering around the unusually large living room of a house where a girl lives alone.
“…”
I felt a little heavy-hearted and bitter.
I said it was okay in front of other people, but maybe it wasn’t really true… .
The time he pretended to be a high school student was a whopping 8 years.
Since my school life was not short, I had many friends who were similar to me.
Among them, was the author a little special to me?
It might be natural to be concerned since I killed him with my own hands, rather than because we were close.
“…”
The human mind is truly difficult.
In the few months we’ve been friends, I’ve never felt that the author was that jealous.
I thought I could read the minds of the kids easily since I had been going to school for a long time, but I guess I was just arrogant.
Of course, it’s not like the author was jealous of me and cursed me until the moment he died.
What did you say at the end?
What did you say in a breathless voice?
‘Min-ah, I’m sorry… That wasn’t me just now-‘
Sorry would mean that I suddenly swore at you, and ‘it wasn’t me just now’ means –
“…Huh?”
A fleeting moment.
Memories of the past flowed like a panorama, and scenes I had not been aware of before came to mind.
As if a bolt of lightning had struck the back of my head!
First scene.
When the possessed squad leader in the chapel was strangling the thug’s neck, someone shouted, “Bam!” and found the black book that the author had summoned?
No! The order was reversed.
There was a ‘bang!’ sound first, and then the squad leader strangled the punk.
That is, before the author cast the spell, or at the point when he summoned the grimoire to cast the spell, someone had already pushed the desk in the chapel and found the black book!
Second scene.
When ‘someone’ tried to grab the author, the author knocked him out with a single wave of his hand.
After that, as if showing off his power to everyone, he strangled the thug by only controlling his hands while ‘leaving his consciousness’!
This kind of power has never been seen before in turning a school upside down.
What, it seems like my magic proficiency has suddenly increased dramatically?
Third scene.
The moment I was about to pull out my gun in the chapel, in less than a second, I had the male student next to me block my path.
Thinking back, it was an absurdly fast response.
As if he knew from the beginning that I was an agent!
…
An incident occurred during lunchtime.
I forgot about it because of the restaurant owner’s commotion that happened right after, but it was quite embarrassing at the time.
I clearly waited for the other kids to leave before I moved, but then ‘someone’ who seemed to have been waiting came from behind and bumped into me.
Maybe that’s when he noticed the gun hidden inside his school uniform?
“…”
‘Someone’ was always the same person.
*
A serial murder case occurred.
What if one of the survivors is the culprit, but you can’t identify who?
If the decision maker is a judge, everyone is found not guilty due to insufficient evidence since we don’t know who the culprit is.
Because it is a fundamental principle of criminal law to let ten criminals go free but not punish one innocent person.
If the decision maker is the Administration, then all survivors must die because they don’t know who the culprit is.
Because their guiding principle is to not let a single criminal escape even if it means killing ten innocent people.
Therefore, in order for me to survive, the culprit must be caught ‘clearly’.
Fortunately, I was able to recover the grimoire and escape the scene without much difficulty.
…
By the way, what is the identity of the agent who subtly resembles Ari?
I thought it was definitely Ari… .
Even the soft position where she hides her gun when wearing her school uniform was exactly like Arirang.
However, the behavior was subtly sloppy.
It seems like Ari has gone back to her fake identity as a ‘trainee agent’ when we first met.
Soul above all!
As soon as I retrieved the grimoire, I checked it out, and the soul’s condition was strange.
What on earth is going on in this room?
I need to approach it when I have the chance.
Next up is the church.
