RUST [RUST]-881

It was definitely strange that emotions seemed to be distorted. Originally, Ki-soon’s ability was the ability to judge emotions by mixing colors and images.

Even though it is the color red, it can be a positive image or a negative one. There is the color red that represents love and passion, but also the color red that represents murder and murderous intent.

But it was definitely strange that it was twisted. It was a feeling that was hard to express in any other way than that the emotions were twisted. Ki-soon filtered out the people he had chosen like that.

People who looked fine on the outside. Perhaps even kind-hearted. Ki-soon briefly wondered if perhaps his abilities were being confused.

‘You’ll know when you check.’

Ki-sun’s eyes narrowed.

“Did you lock them all up separately?”

[Yes. We put each of them in solitary confinement.]

“Let’s see.”

[Yes. This is an indoor CCTV screen.]

The CCTV footage showed people in solitary confinement. There was not a single person who looked anxious, from someone lying comfortably to someone sitting on a sofa to someone reading a book.

Ki-sun’s thin eyes narrowed even further when he saw that scene.

‘You’re supposed to be anxious since you’ve been isolated, but isn’t anyone scared or anxious?’

This was definitely strange. If you think about it, statistically speaking, out of a hundred people, there are bound to be a few who feel anxious and nervous.

‘Is this what it means to be twisted?’

It doesn’t mean that they are simply in a state of heightened fear or anxiety. Is it that there is something behind them? Or that they believe that they are safe?

‘trust?’

Ki-soon called out to the nearby army of field mice. He couldn’t confirm the emotion that came from 13 million of them doing something at once.

At the time, it was an overwhelming scene, but now that I think about it, it was like that. It must have been difficult to handle the image of a single race of over 12 million people wishing in one voice.

But now that we have established that people’s emotions are distorted, it is necessary to examine the emotions of rats as well.

‘Wishes and beliefs. Is it the mixture of these things that causes distortion? If it is something that becomes concrete, tangible, and real?’

If we regard elephants as sacred and as objects of faith, then it is possible that an elephant that has attained divinity, rather than a truly mutant elephant, could emerge.

If you believe in the bull, there is a risk that the bull will change like that. It is not something that will change so easily just because dozens of people believe it, but in a world where perception and thoughts have even a little influence on reality, you cannot be sure what will happen.

“Fuck. It’s not even the law of drag and drop.”

Not pulling, but soaking. If you want to ruin with the wish of tens of millions of people, let’s think about it and think about it, wouldn’t it be a world that really hits you hard?

“This is driving me crazy. Wow-”

The world is becoming more and more of a mess. There are beings who wanted it to become a mess like this. Could it be that there are many entities that hold grudges in the world?

Ki-soon shook his head. It seemed like it was going too far. Anyway, he had to check what was twisted in the object first.

110-23 The Rat Corps, including the corps commander and about 100 field rats of rank arrived. Ki-sun used his ability on them.

?

A twist that came to mind clearly. There was a twist that was more intuitive and clear than a human’s. Ki-soon released his ability and took a deep breath.

That means, the humans who are locked up now believe in something, just like the field mice believe in the floor.

Judging from the different colors and shapes of the twists, I guess they believe in something other than Maru.

The field mice wanted to be used by the floor. They wanted to participate in the temple and go to the eternal paradise. They wanted rewards while alive and eternal life after death.

So then. What do these people, who are now trapped and enjoying their leisure, want? What did they aim for when they obeyed the order to evacuate the city? No, what do they believe in?

Na Ju-yeon nodded with blurry eyes at Gi-sun’s story.

[Sure. I guess you could think that way. But I’d like the order to be clear.]

“After?”

[Yes. The virus and the great disaster struck. We should see it as something that happened after that. So, it was later that wishes and beliefs gained real power.]

The order shouldn’t have been changed. Na Ju-yeon thought that it was only after the Earth’s laws began to break down that she gained power, and it was only later that she gained power and began to change the Earth’s laws.

[···So. Those twisted people. Could you send them this way?]

Na Ju-yeon, who had been talking about this and that, made a request with blurry eyes.

[I think research is needed.]

There is a common saying, ‘The Earth is going to be destroyed.’

But to be precise, the Earth will not be destroyed. ‘Humanity will only be destroyed.’ And what humankind being destroyed means is that all the civilizations that humans have built will disappear.

“You have seen everything that humans have built crumble.”

The old church in London, Canada, was crowded with people.

“Are morals, human rights, law, order, culture, art all more important than life?”

In the cold weather of minus 20 to minus 30 degrees Celsius, the heaters placed throughout the church glowed red and glowed softly.

“Nothing was more important than salvation, nothing was more important than survival.”

“···That’s why we believed in the Holy Church. We devoted ourselves to the Holy Church.”

People were concentrating on the voice and every gesture of the young man preaching on stage.

“···The hope of humanity. The salvation of humanity. The Holy Church clearly promised us salvation. It said it would give us hope for life. Yes. Is that so?”

“Look here. What has become of that hope? What has become of that salvation!”

The man’s voice grew louder and the air grew warmer.

“What did he do for the salvation of mankind and the survival of mankind?”

“While countless lives were being lost, what he, the holy one we believed to be, the agent of God, the incarnation of God, the savior, the guide, did was to divide, to separate, to abandon, to kill.”

“He made those who did not come and those who could not come into the world unbelievers by calling them to come. He made those who wanted freedom into those who did not want freedom by abandoning them. Is he truly the representative of God and the savior?”

As the man’s voice grew louder, the heat felt among the people.

“God is merciful to mankind. No religion has ever asked us to abandon mankind.”

“But the Holy Kingdom, whose state religion is the so-called Holy Church, has abandoned humans, given up on them, and even stood by and watched as people were killed by monsters.”

Anger began to melt into the heat of the people.

“What did the Holy Kingdom do when our brothers and sisters in Canada were dying? What did it do when refugees came here begging for salvation? What did it do when our families and friends were praying for salvation?”

“Yes, the Holy Kingdom has fallen. The Savior we believed in was not a Savior, but a murderer.”

In the heat, the man clenched his fists.

“Is it God’s will that we treat animals like humans and treat AI like people? No. God never said that. He said to heal humans, protect humans, and save humans.”

Ooooooo—-

“Heal those who are in pain in their souls and sick in their bodies. Yes, God is not someone who imprisons, kills, and abandons. True faith is a faith of healing. He is the One who frees the imprisoned, raises the dead, and saves the abandoned.”

Ooooooo—-

“Come out now, you who need healing.”

A man in a wheelchair came up to the stage. Then the man asked a middle-aged woman in a wheelchair and a woman who appeared to be her daughter pushing the wheelchair various questions.

Since when have you been in a wheelchair?

How hard I prayed.

He continued to lament that he had become paralyzed from the waist down due to a traffic accident 10 years ago. He had undergone several surgeries but was not cured. He was divorced and had a hard time living with his daughter due to financial difficulties.

Maru, who was watching this whole situation from a hiding place, was dumbfounded.

You believe this?

Isn’t this just a typical pseudo-science?

Above all, what the middle-aged woman in the wheelchair said was the best. If you think about it logically, it was an impossible story.

A virus outbreak broke out, mutant monsters and cannibals swept across Canada, and even a Chinese nuke landed.

What are the chances that a wheelchair-bound mother and daughter will survive a situation where the Canadian federal government collapses and anarchy lasts for six months or even a year?

Okay. Let’s say you survived.

What are the chances that the mother and daughter will be able to return to London, Canada, which is under the control of the Holy Kingdom? If the world is as moral and humane as he said, how can the mother and daughter in the wheelchair live?

Even if you were a little suspicious, you would have noticed that the wheelchair woman’s story and the guy’s voice were strange. People were going crazy.

“Now I will show you the evidence that God has come to me.”

As the man who was preaching placed his hand on the head of a middle-aged woman in a wheelchair and muttered a prayer, a milky white light began to appear.

Ooooooooooooooooooooo—–

The old church began to glow with a mysterious milky white light.

“···Get up!”

A middle-aged woman sitting in a wheelchair suddenly stood up.

“The gift of healing!”

“The miracle of healing!”

“God has come to this place!”

The sight of thousands of people shouting together was almost madness. As the heat rose, the milky white light that started from the man’s hand slowly rose to his arms, upper body, and head.

Is this really a cure?

A healing ability that can instantly cure paralysis of the lower body?

You’ve been in a wheelchair for over 10 years, so you’ve probably lost all your muscle mass. You’re just getting up and walking around fine?

Maru’s eyes narrowed.

‧

The healing time, which had been a crucible of enthusiasm, passed and the people dispersed. Outside the church, an announcement was being made urging people to leave the city.

“Huh- Are you saying you’re going to throw it away again this time?”

“Salvation, what the hell. Is this salvation?”

“How long do you plan on abandoning me and continuing to do this?”

“It needs to change.”

“We must bring down the false king and false prophet and establish a true king.”

“It was strange to be called a king because you were good at fighting and killing.”

“Yes. It is the job of a savior to save others rather than kill them.”

People gathered in small groups and chattered. A man and his secretary were watching from the balcony of a mansion a little ways away.

“I heard that the King of the Holy Kingdom himself is coming. Is that okay?”

“What if it’s not okay? Would you kill me outright? There are people who believe in me. I have healing powers?”

The man who used to emit milky white light had returned to normal at some point, and his shiny, clear, and clean face was full of confidence.

“What will those little lambs do if I die or disappear? What if I cast them out and kill them? That will prove to myself that my story is true.”

“It’s dangerous. Your powers have now awakened.”

The man’s face hardened at the secretary’s words.

“God’s grace.”

“I’m sorry. God has given me grace···.”

The man’s cold voice cut off the secretary’s words.

“The Descent of God.”

“···Yes. The God of Healing has descended···.”

The secretary swallowed hard and corrected her words. And then the space on one side of the balcony where the two people were swayed.

[I’m curious. Is there really a god of healing?]

“?”

“Who are you!”

Shukak-

The secretary’s arm and the man’s arm fell to the floor at the same time.

Ugh!

omg!

[Paste it.]

hurry.

Unlike the secretary who was shocked by the severed arm, the man held his arm on the floor and shouted for healing. At the same time, a milky white light rose from his hand and the severed arm stuck to him.

The man looked into the swaying space with an expression as if asking if she had seen it.

[Isn’t that guy’s arm there?]

The man looked down at his secretary, who was pale from shock, and said while holding her arm.

“Who are you?”

[God of healing.]

The man raised his voice sternly at Maru’s calm attitude.

“You still can’t believe it even though you saw the miracle of healing with your own eyes.”

[First of all. Let’s take a look one more time.]

what?

As the man’s eyes grew wide,

Crunch- crunch- crunch-

I heard a slicing sound.

thud-

The impact of the torso hitting the floor with both arms and both legs cut off.

[Try it again.]
