Before the third attempt began, there was a thought I had during the meeting.
Why did the hotel divide us into ‘Exorcist Team’ and ‘Village Team’?
It can’t be just because he looks young. After all, the hotel can change the participant’s physical age at will if it wants.
Me and Park Seung-yeop. The ‘village team’ will definitely have a role to play.
If I want to do any research, I’ll have to leave the house first… .
“oh! Aria. “Her mom said she shouldn’t go out!”
I was just about to leave the house, but ‘Mom’ appeared from nowhere and stopped me from going out.
There are already four children missing. Households with children already protect their children as tightly as they do now.
Should I just sit at home and waste time like this?
—Ding dong!
The children came into the house with the sound of the bell.
After disappearance cases began to occur, a kind of ‘joint parenting’ culture emerged in the village.
This is a phenomenon that arose because adults must protect their children, but that does not mean they cannot avoid engaging in professional activities.
Today it is my turn to take charge of the children nearby my house.
“Ari!”
With a loud noise, Seungyeop and other children came from over there.
…
I sat blankly and looked at the ceiling, and before I knew it, the kids were playing well together.
Seungyeop is also playing really well. Isn’t his mental age already that of middle school? I’m playing with elementary school students and I don’t feel any discomfort at all.
As I waited, the boy in question, ‘Lee Si-woo’, appeared.
“Oppa Siu! “Come on!”
“Hyung Siwoo! “Please fix this for me~”
It may seem funny when you look at it from the side, but like his father, that kid was very popular among the kids in the neighborhood. Should I say that he is like the big brother in the neighborhood?
Usually, people of that age tend to leave the village to attend middle school or high school, but since they are educated at home due to health issues, the fact that they are naturally the oldest children in the village is also an important factor.
The adults seemed to be entrusting their children to that boy. Naturally, the adults who were watching us left one by one.
“Ari! “Come here and let’s play together.”
He calls me like an older brother who takes care of his younger siblings. I kept pretending not to notice, so I went nearby, and suddenly he started stroking my head.
At that moment, I couldn’t stand it anymore and almost threw my fist out! The kid is really going to get beat up!
I endured it, but there was someone who really couldn’t endure it.
—widely.
Seungyeop suddenly approached and took Siwoo’s hand away.
Siwoo smiled awkwardly, probably embarrassed for a moment, and started playing with the kids again.
What on earth are they doing? Seungyeop? Now I’m starting to feel embarrassed.
Has it been about 20 minutes? Siwoo said to the children.
“Guys, it’s nap time now. “Let’s all take a nap.”
Aside from the childish way you talk, is it nap time? Aren’t they young enough to take care of such things?
!
Finally, ‘strange things’ started to happen.
As Siwoo began to lightly gesture, the children began to feel sleepy as a group.
Siwoo moved the children one by one onto the matrix or sofa.
Seungyeop, who sensed a strange phenomenon, immediately came towards me.
“Ah, Ari, what the hell is this -”
“Title.”
“Ari… .”
“Don’t worry.”
“okay.”
Seungyeop, don’t worry! Is there anything better than dying?
I realized this the moment I tried to open the chat window.
The distance is too far.
Apparently, the exorcist team stopped by the mansion and then got in the car and came straight to the village so as not to provoke Lee Se-hyun, but it looks like they are still in the mansion.
The chat window is not activated.
Siwoo came towards us, grabbed Seungyeop and said ‘something’.
Seungyeop started following Siwoo with a dazed expression.
I can imitate me too, right?
Before that, let’s first leave some traces.
*
… This is too much.
I walked for almost two hours. From the village where children played, to the mountain behind the mansion.
It seems like it didn’t take long by car, but it took about two hours with the kids walking.
The distance was too much for the kids’ physical strength to endure, but Seungyeop was under something similar to hypnosis, and I was also pretending to be under the influence, so I had to walk without complaining.
Is it right to keep following along? Unstable.
The chat window still didn’t work. I don’t think Mukseong died. I can guess the reason.
When we were in the village, Mukseong was at the mansion, and after we passed through the village and set off towards the mountain behind the mansion, Mukseong went to the village.
The situation is that communication is blocked as people are constantly crossing each other and keeping a long distance between each other. .
It looks like the ‘culprit’ is possessing the kid in front of me right now, so is it right to keep following him?
For now, let’s follow along. Even if I die when I die, I need to find out information.
At least we can find out where the ‘missing children’ are going.
There doesn’t seem to be anything special about it.
At least it felt that way up to the halfway point of the mountain. Aside from the fact that hiking itself is difficult for a child, I don’t know if this mountain is particularly different from other mountains.
Little by little, I hear and feel it. The mountain is full of life. The fact that mountains are a place of fear and silence applies to humans.
It wasn’t until I reached halfway that I noticed something strange for the first time.
Huge door.
Was there a door like this originally? I don’t think it existed in the future.
Even then, we didn’t search the entire mountain. I wasn’t sure.
What should I do? Should I turn back and go down at this point? Can I escape by going down?
I shook my head. If we step back like this, we actually haven’t discovered anything.
Eventually, someone has to go in there and find out what’s inside.
Don’t be afraid. If you die, we’ll just meet outside. It’s nothing.
The moment you step inside the door with determination.
The world has turned upside down.

– Kim Ari
I fell asleep in a world that was turned upside down like laundry in a washing machine or a hamster in a treadmill.
When I barely stood up and looked around, I saw a world I couldn’t understand.
There are no light sources in the sky. The sun and even the moon disappeared.
However, there was a soft light source on the ground. Countless flowers were in bloom, and radiance emanated from them, giving a hazy light source to the entire world.
Where on earth is this place? The door I passed by has already disappeared, as if it were a given.
“Don’t be surprised. This is the world of nebula dragons. “The master is dead, but the world still remains in ruins.”
“Nebula Dragon? “What on earth is that?”
“you do not have to know. Because he was already asleep in the prehistoric era. “With him, this world began to fall apart…”
As he said those words, the boy looked around with an expression full of emotion.
“Did you know I was awake?”
“Couldn’t you have known that much?”
“… Why did you bring me here?”
The boy did not answer, but sat down among the flowers and carefully caressed them.
“Isn’t it beautiful? “This flower field.”
“It looks like an evening primrose. “It’s unique that it really shines.”
“It can’t be compared to the flowers on Earth. “Every single one has a soul?”
I had a terrible thought.
He immediately stepped away from the flower field and asked.
“This flower, could it be that it was made by killing a person?”
“They were living a worthless life. But they gained true value through death.”
It feels slowly familiar. This isn’t the first time I’ve seen a crazy person on Earth. Let me ask you what your intention is.
“So, are you planning to kill a large number of people and resurrect your gods?”
“I thought I was going to resurrect the Nebula Dragon. It’s an illusion. How could someone like me resurrect a dead god?
It’s just my job to complete the birth of his firstborn son. He is still growing by devouring his mother’s remains.
But it’s not enough. Just eating the remains of a dead god is not enough to create a perfect god.
I need more help. You might think I’ve committed some great massacre, but that’s not true. “I simply helped with ‘immigration.’”
“immigrant?”
“People who have become flowers will one day become residents of a new world. Surely, you will receive a shining destiny that cannot be compared to life on the murky Earth!”
It felt like a brief conversation.
This crazy person believes that the devil is an ‘unborn god’ and considers human sacrifice to be a process of moving to another world.
“You plan to fight me.”
“Did you really think I could persuade you?”
“You are not ordinary people, are you?”
Sudden question. ‘You’re not an ordinary person, are you?’ What does it mean?
“Interesting. Today is a truly amazing day. I was surprised to see you and Seungyeop. Your soul is of such a high standard that it cannot be compared to that of ordinary people. “You’re not even a Vatican exorcist, so what are you?”
… I roughly understood what the situation was.
We are thinking that the adversary is possessing us, but in the adversary’s view, it is the opposite and ‘we’ have suddenly possessed the characters!
Since they are beings that can perceive the soul itself, they were surprised to see the souls of high-ranking participants.
The Vatican’s exorcists are special beings, so I guess that’s what I thought when I met the exorcist team.
However, from that guy’s perspective, Seungyeop and I were ordinary human beings until just yesterday. That’s why I was so surprised.
“I sent you down from the sky to catch you and kill you.”
“Really? Was it sent down by someone who the Vatican serves?”
sorry. I just said something. It wasn’t heaven, it was sent by the hotel.
I didn’t feel the need to talk further.
Bringing up old blood.
—Taaat!
In an instant, he rushed forward, narrowing the distance to more than 10 steps. The frozen momentum that bloomed from his fingertips flew towards the opponent’s upper body.
The boy stepped back and shouted a strange sound.
The next moment, black chains came out from all directions, blocked the ice energy, and rushed towards me.
He jumped, kicking the chain while rotating his entire body in a spiral. I flicked my fingers in the air.
— Boom!
Blood spattered from the boy’s chest. Siwoo fell down with a groan of pain.
The moment you try to knee your opponent with the weight falling from the air,
Chains rose from the ground again and bound my legs.
He cut off my leg without hesitation.
As if he hadn’t expected this, the other person’s expression became one of astonishment.
And then – a hand as hard and sharp as steel pierced Siwoo’s neck.
.
.
.
Did you win?
In any case, the other person is a being that transcends the body. This ‘Siwoo’ is just a doll anyway, so this can’t be the end.
Let’s attach the legs first. Since it has been torn off as cleanly as possible, it can be reattached. While attaching the legs and bonding the wounds with the power of ‘old blood’.
“sister!”
Seungyeop, who had already woken up and was hiding, screamed.
—bang!
A sharp chain hit my back.
As I endured the pain and stood up, I saw a mysterious figure across from me.
Looks like a boy
The skin is as thin as paper, so much so that even the veins and internal organs underneath are clearly visible.
Instead of black pupils, there is something that rotates like a whirlpool and emits brilliance, and the facial features are large and clear.
At first glance, he seems like a mysterious boy, but if you look closely, you can feel the strangeness of being different from humans and the unpleasant feeling of looking into the uncanny valley.
Is that the identity of the ‘culprit’? Residents of a world created by the ‘Nebula Dragon’, the mother of demons?
A drowsy voice was heard.
“You really fight incredibly well. Are you really an angel sent by God on Earth? “Beautiful Miss Ari?”
“Don’t talk like a chicken. “I’m a lot older than you think.”
“That’s funny. “I’m also quite a bit older than I look.”
“Do you think it will be different in the second game?”
“I admit it. Honestly, I don’t think I can win on my own. I got goosebumps watching him take his legs off and put them back together. However, since this is my hometown, there are people who protect me.”
With those words – a distant power seethed throughout the world. The devil has begun to descend with overflowing power!
I immediately used a syringe to draw out the blood containing my ‘suggestion’ and handed the syringe to Seung-yeop.
“run.”
“yes?”
“Write a blessing and just run. “If you run, you will go outside.”
The experience so far was not in vain. Seungyeop didn’t waste any time asking me questions, but immediately started running while holding the syringe.
A sneer was heard from afar.
“I can sense that he has an extraordinary soul, but isn’t he an ordinary boy in the end? Do you think he can get out of here?”
“huh.”
“I’m curious to hear that answer. “What is the basis?”
“Is the tomb of a dead god completely complete? There must be a lot of holes somewhere. “In the first place, doesn’t that mean you can keep going back and forth between Earth?”
“It’s not wrong, but I know where it is -”
“Wherever she is, she will definitely be found.”
The luckiest boy in the world will definitely find a way out of this hell somewhere.
therefore –
You come out today and see the end.
