Episode 703 – Room 301, The Cursed Room – ‘The Origin of the Species’ (37)
The direct phenomenon that causes the end in Room 301 is the Grace Ceremony.
Therefore, the end can be prevented by destroying the consciousness of grace with the help of the Duke who experienced heaven and realized the truth.
Eunsol must have thought this was our plan until just before she lost consciousness.
It’s not a completely wrong judgment.
Because that’s actually the plan we first made during the meeting.
…
A colleague mentioned a completely different possibility.
To be more precise, there was a summoner who mentioned a completely different possibility.
*
“Cessation of the Grace Ceremony… Is this enough?”
“Sister, if you have any opinions, please let me know.”
“I think this will be enough to resolve the issue. However, I don’t think this is a fundamental solution.”
“A fundamental solution? Eunsol, what do you mean?”
“Everyone, think about it. Who created this damned grace ritual in the first place?”
“I’m a prisoner.”
“My mother. The King of Is is the first cause.”
“that…”
“Grace is nothing more than a magical ritual created by Mother. Even if Grace is destroyed, it is only a temporary solution. Mother will restore Grace, no matter how long it takes.”
“Ms. Eunsol, it is true that the prisoner is the root cause, but what can we do? There is nothing we can do about the prisoner on our own.”
*
At first, no one understood what my sister was saying.
It’s not that it’s wrong to say that prisoners are the primary cause, but even if that were the case, I don’t know what we’re supposed to do about it.
At that time, Sang-Hyeon Hyung’s words were exactly as the hotel party thought.
At that moment, my sister’s eyes lit up with a somewhat eerie glow.
The next words that came out of my sister’s mouth seemed like something I would never be able to easily forget.
*
“If just one person dies, all these problems will end.”
“Sister, what is that -”
“Let’s kill mother.”
*
Let’s kill the mother.
Let’s kill the mother.
Let’s kill the mother.
The two words that were difficult to put together in one sentence sounded strange and eerie.
Of course, it wouldn’t be wrong to say that it was a kind of self-defense, since the mother was the one who first mocked the laws of nature.
After that, the ‘real plan’ that is currently in progress was created.
…
A story about hotel time.
Even if a long time passes in the cursed room or in reality, there is no time change at the hotel.
Even if you spend a week on vacation at a hotel, it has no direct effect on the cursed room or the outside reality.
Even our colleagues were caught in different loops, and the hotel could send us back to our own loops.
Considering the above facts, we can draw one conclusion.
The time axis of the hotel, especially on the third floor, is completely separated from reality.
There is a reason why it is called the ‘Heavenly Realm’ both domestically and internationally, and why the realm itself is considered to be of a different level.
…
The Legacy of the Labyrinth, TimelineHere.
If the summoned being from the past timeline dies, the current timeline’s main body also dies.
It could be seen as a kind of law of causality.
So, let’s think about a situation where there is a summoned entity that has been summoned to a time zone outside the hotel, and the main body is inside the hotel.
If the summoner outside dies, will the main body in the hotel die?
Connecting this with the theory about hotel time mentioned above, we arrive at an interesting conclusion.
Logically, he shouldn’t die.
Whatever happens to the summoned entity outside, the main entity inside the hotel should not be affected.
Because the celestial time axis is completely separate from the lower world.
Even if the summoned entity dies outside, it is difficult to see this as a past event for the celestial body.
Therefore, the causal flow created by the time zone here does not affect the hotel.
…
However, there are always exceptions in life.
If celestial time is always separate from reality, how can the people at the observatory observe Room 301 in ‘real time’?
As time passed in Room 301, time also passed in the observatory.
While their colleagues in Room 301 were struggling, their colleagues in the observatory ate and slept.
That is, during the observation, Room 301 and the hotel shared the same time.
This is why observatories have telescopes.
The observatory’s telescopes are not simply objects for observing distant Earth.
It is the product of a great miracle that ‘temporarily’ synchronizes the time axis and causality of the celestial realm and the subject of observation.
The conclusion is simple.
While the telescope is observing 301, 301 and celestial time are one.

—Whoosh!
The king appeared with a clap of thunder.
Five-colored light radiating from the entire body.
An overwhelming force that took over an area in one fell swoop.
An immense presence, as if the divine power that illuminates the universe has been condensed into a single point.
It looks exactly like the one I saw a while ago!
At that moment, the person who made eye contact with me smiled as if he found it funny.
+ In Eunsol’s memory, she was on the ground, but in reality, she was here? +
“Ugh…!”
+ Was the sight on the ground an illusion? +
The attitude of referring to Eun-sol as a stranger even though he has clearly awakened from her mind.
The opponent thinks of himself as the king of Is, not Eunsol.
The entity that corresponds to the king’s ‘main body’ has lost most of its power, but still remains on the ground.
Even in such a situation, the other person’s self-identity is not shaken at all.
I realized anew how strange the way of thinking of a great man is.
It is not simply because one is strong that one is great.
Those who are called gods because their modes of existence, ways of thinking, self-identity and the principles of the soul’s composition are all completely different from those of mortals.
Maybe I gave up the path of Aleph because I didn’t want to change like this.
The king said with a big smile.
+ Eunsol was quite relieved that you were with her, but you didn’t even come down from heaven. Isn’t that too much for her? +
Playful attitude.
A joking tone of speech without any seriousness.
The opponent didn’t seem to feel any tension.
That’s because the gap between us and our opponents was that big.
Even if I alone, and all of us gathered here, could not defeat the opponent by force.
It is impossible to even strike a significant blow, let alone break it.
However, it was possible to send a signal.
Not to brag, but I can split my body in two.
*
— Lee Eun-sol
.
..
…
— Swish…!
I noticed that raindrops were pouring down from the sky.
“…”
The request I had received from Miro just before, ‘Please lend me some time!’ and my consent.
When I closed my eyes and opened them again, the scenery had completely changed.
iced coffee…
I am a summoned being.
I hadn’t really cared about it before, but this time it was different.
Another me who made plans I didn’t know about.
Another me swinging around like a pawn.
Until just now, I thought I was scared of the me from another time period, but now I’m Eunsol from that other time period.
As I was about to take a breath, feeling really complicated, I felt a slight sense of discomfort.
“hmm?”
Isn’t it usually a crisis when Miro summons a companion?
If Maze summoned me, I thought it would be because the Iss race was attacking and needed mental protection.
Not at all.
Miro just sat there silently holding his umbrella, while the old man next to him just stared at the iron bar stuck in the dirt floor.
“What is it?”
“…”
“What? Aren’t you fighting now?”
“no.”
“then?”
“Just wait.”
“What is this iron bar stuck in the floor?”
“Waiting for the signal.”
“signal?”
Nothing happened for about ten minutes after that.
A peaceful time passes without fighting, crisis, or urgency.
As I was scratching my head wondering what this was, something strange happened.
—Whoosh!
The sight of an iron bar shaking madly from side to side with a vibration that felt like scratching the skin.
It was only when I saw that I realized that this was the signal my colleagues had been waiting for.
I wondered why Miro and Grandpa were only looking at the iron bar, but it turned out that it was to immediately detect the poltergeist in the observatory!
When I smiled, thinking, “I’ve never thought of something like that before.”
“sorry.”
“huh?”
— Bang!
A gunshot rang out.
Darkening vision.
A consciousness that is far away.
A voice that sounds like an excuse.
“I’m sorry. But, that’s your plan.”
And there was no one.

– Han Ga-in
— Quasi-jik!
The king’s head exploded.
For a moment, I thought that cherry blossoms were blooming on Eunsol noona’s head.
The king must have done something, because the split skull and crushed pieces of brain moved very slowly.
Even so, the situation didn’t really change.
Even if he was a prisoner, there was no way to stop the flow of causality that said, ‘Lee Eun-sol died in the past.’
At that very moment!
— Suaah…!
As if rejecting fate, the scattered flesh began to gather again!
Even if he is the king of Ys, he cannot make the past event of ‘Lee Eun-sol died in the past’ disappear.
However, the great one can create the crazy possibility that ‘the dead Eunsol Lee has been resurrected’!
This is not a causal contradiction created by the time zone.
Because resurrection is not the denial of death, but the overcoming of death!
+ Was this your number? +
I thought to myself as I listened to the voice that seemed to be saying nothing was wrong even though my skull was crushed.
This is precisely the possibility.
The time zone has been destroyed by Lee Eun-sol’s body, but there is a possibility that this crazy prisoner will attempt to revive the lion!
So, it was ‘me’ and no one else who had to remain in heaven.
“There is still one step left.”
+ What – +
— Hwarurur…!
He bit his teeth while holding an ominously glowing book and surrounded by a mysterious glow.
A fact proven at the end of the second round.
I only have three seconds to stop the prisoner.
That is, you can block it for 3 seconds.
This is something that only I can do, and no one else can do it.
Prevent the King of Iss from attempting to revive a lion for 3 seconds!
“Now, the contestant status you stole from your daughter is gone.”
Shock, amazement, bewilderment – ??and horror.
He spoke to the prisoner with a fear he had never seen before.
“Can you survive in heaven for three seconds without qualification?”
