“I thought so.”
Hearing my decision, Elohim smiled with an expression of helplessness.
“If I kill Abel, I can prevent the situation in which my ability leaks to other mbers of the cult. Even if other mbers of the cult already found out, it would be less dangerous to kill Abel.”
“You are right.”
It was such a dangerous gamble, but we had no choice but to do so now that our situation wasn’t so good.
If the Praus Cult didn’t have a clue about my ability, we wouldn’t have to overdo it… Since everything had already been revealed, we had no choice but to do our best.
“The doll with the moving item is at the far end of your room. If you walk forward with your back to the door, you will find an S-class doll sitting on a chair.”
“I understand.”
“Please be careful, Se-hyun-ah.”
Elohim, holding my shoulder strongly, gave the last request.
“Because where you are now is in the created space, it took 10 minutes to reconnect the energy you cut off, but if you go directly to the place where Abel is, you can earn within 5 minutes no matter how much you cut off her ability. ”
“Then…”
“A lot of dolls will co over to kill you all. It ans that even if you block the control of the doll with your energy, you may not be able to handle that number. Move carefully.”
The place where Abel was located ant, after all, Abel’s base, a major figure in the Praus Cult. Of course, the number of dolls Abel plays would be different from before.
Knowing that, I couldn’t give up this timing to finally kill Abel. Elohim, recognizing the determination in my eyes, let go of my shoulder.
“After the fight with Abel is over, I will imdiately open the way out of there. You just had to get out of there on ti.”
“Yes. Don’t worry too much.”
Giving information to kill Abel and opening the passage later. Elohim and Elahah, who would have paid all the cost, made concern, but I couldn’t afford to check their condition.
After reading my thoughts, Elohim smiled softly as if it was okay. All the scenery seen beyond it was imrsed in pure white light. The dream ca to an end.
“Go, Se-hyun-ah.”
“I will be back.”
A bright light flashed and engulfed everything in front of . I calmly accepted the light.
* * *
A familiar scent could be felt on the tip of my nose. When I quickly regained consciousness and opened my closed eyes, Kim Woo-jin’s shoulder was visible. Below that, I could see my scarred hand.
This was the first ti I had fallen asleep in a changed state, but fortunately, the change didn’t release and Kwon Se-hyun still remained the sa. From now on, in order to face Abel head-on, I needed intervention ability, so I couldn’t go back.
When I raised my head, Kim Woo-jin, who was sitting with his back against the wall, hugging , asked.
“Han Yi-gyeol, are you awake?”
“Ung.”
I got my upper body, which completely leaned on him.
“How much ti has passed since I fell asleep?”
“Not that long. I don’t think it’s even been five minutes.”
That was fortunate. Exhaling a breath of relief, I made eye contact with Kim Woo-jin in front of . Kim Woo-jin, who looked at with gentle eyes, was the sa as before, as if the awkward atmosphere didn’t happen.
Even in bad circumstances, I wasn’t happy with it. I could feel how important Kim Woo-jin was to just by making eye contact and talking naturally like before.
After the fight with Abel was over… At that ti, no matter what happened, I had to spend ti alone with Kim Woo-jin. Both Kim Woo-jin and I had so many things we wanted to say to each other.
“Han Yi-gyeol.”
The team mbers, who were looking around the room, realized that I was awake and rushed in. Among them, Cheon Sa-yeon was the first to speak.
“Did you et Elohim?”
“Yeah.”
As expected, if it was Cheon Sa-yeon, he would have noticed. It was at that ti when I was about to explain to the team mbers what I had heard from Elohim.
Pajijijik!
The sharp sound of electricity reverberated throughout the sky and a strange energy filled the surroundings to the point making goosebumps.
“The space is breaking.”
The walls and surrounding objects, which had been just fine, started to crack and break into pixel shapes. I could see the orange veil trembling unsteadily over the cracked wall.
The space was collapsing as Elohim had told . The space completely disappeared and Abel had to move before withdrawing her doll.
“Everyone, please listen to what I have to say.”
I forwarded what I had heard from Elohim in my dream to the team mbers who were gathering around .
“If we stay still, the space will be broken and we can safely go out to the outside world. But then we will miss Abel and the Praus Cult will find out about my intervention ability.”
“It’s a bigger problem for your ability to be known than to lose Abel.”
Ha Tae-heon pinpointed the important part.
Losing Abel after all these hardships was a pain in the ass, but the latter was far more burdenso.
“I…”
Considering the future safety, I had to deal with Abel even it was too much. However, that was only the conclusion I reached on my own.
If you think about Elohim’s advice, it wouldn’t be easy to enter Abel’s base and defeat her. It was an unreasonable request to start the fight again when everyone was exhausted. Their lives might be in danger.
How will the team mbers respond to what I am going to say? Without any certainty, I mustered up the courage to continue.
“I am going to see Abel from now on.”
Cheon Sa-yeon, who was lost in thought while stroking the corner of his mouth, looked at .
“I know everyone is having a hard ti.”
“……”
“But an opportunity like this will never co again.”
I forced myself to stand up with my trembling legs. And I slowly looked around the team mbers standing in front of .
Min Ah-rin with a worried expression and Kwon Jeong-han looking at as if observing . Although it must have been an embarrassing situation, Woo Seo-hyuk, who looked as calm as usual, and Park Geon-ho, who was rather interested. Cheon Sa-yeon and Ha Tae-heon weren’t very surprised. Lastly, Kim Woo-jin, who made the face that he would follow wherever I went.
“So… I want you to co with .”
At the end of that request, there was a quiet silence. But the silence didn’t last long.
“Let’s go!”
Min Ah-rin shouted in a brave voice. Then Kim Woo-jin hurriedly grabbed my arm as if he wouldn’t lose.
“I will go too. Let go with you.”
“I think that asking for such an important task is a problem itself.”
Following Kim Woo-jin, Park Geon-ho said a word with a deep smile. For so reason, Woo Seo-hyuk nodded and agreed to Park Geon-ho’s words.
“Well, it’s not the first ti Hyung’s asked for sothing like this. I got used to it.”
“Haa…”
As Kwon Jeong-han muttered as if lanting, Ha Tae-heon sighed deeply. Embarrassed by the reaction of the team mbers, I made excuses by swiping the nape of my neck.
“Still, I believed everyone would co with .”
“You don’t believe us, Yi-gyeol-ssi. We’ve co all the way here, can we just send Yi-gyeol-ssi alone? I might die of anxiety.”
Might die of anxiety, that much? When I looked at Min Ah-rin, who scolded , Cheon Sa-yeon smiled for so reason.
“If Leader goes, I’ll go. I have to find the moving item that Abel’s doll is holding.”
“Stop talking about that Leader. The doll with the item is over there.”
As I was told by Elohim in my dream, I walked to the deepest part of the room and a doll with yellow hair drooping while sitting on a chair appeared. I looked through the pocket of the robe the doll was wearing and found a black marble that the Praus Cult had used several tis.
As soon as I got my hands on the marble, the orange veil around us shattered like glass. The walls of the mansion turned into the walls of an ordinary art gallery.
We would return to the real world. For a mont, I was glad and the black marble pressed heavily on my palm. I said, holding back my trembling heart.
“Let’s go right away.”
Black marble was dropped on the ground just like the Praus Cult did. The marble that hit the ground instantly turned into liquid and spread widely on the ground.
Soon after, my eyes shook violently and my body felt like being swept away by the waves. When I closed my eyes reflexively at the strange feeling of suffocation and then opened them, the inside of the building, which was clearly different from the museum, was revealed.
‘Is this where Abel is?’
There was a faint sll of disinfectant in the hallway with the pure white walls. The hallway, flickering with fluorescent lights, gave a creepy feeling.
“Um, what should I say… it reminds of a hospital.”
Min Ah-rin, who stood next to and looked around, carefully opened her mouth. My thoughts were the sa.
I guessed it was going to be sothing like a weird house or basent full of dolls. I didn’t expect it a place that resembled a hospital so much.
It was a mont when I was dazed by the very different interior scenery that was different from what I expected. Ha Tae-heon, noticing sothing, grabbed my shoulder and pulled strongly.
“Ugh…!”
The chilly air narrowly passed my cheek. Ha Tae-heon’s clothes on his forearm, who held in his arms and was attacked instead, was ripped and was bleeding.
/“Where do these rats co from!”/
A voice that was harsh enough to be heard resounded strongly. It was only then that I found the doll that was running toward .
A doll dressed in a blue nurse’s outfit twisted its face. The doll’s outer skin, which couldn’t keep up with the expression, was cracked and it beca a hideous appearance. In both hands, it was holding huge scissors, just like the dolls I had encountered in the space.
It was moving so fast that I didn’t even notice it and I felt a strong energy. It was an SS-class doll.
Rather it was good. We weren’t sure if this was Abel’s base, but as she personally ca to greet us by herself so it wasn’t a bad thing for us.
Above all, thanks to Abel’s attitude, which seed the most sensitive and sharp of all the appearances I had ever seen, I could see that this place was her weakness.
/“Get out of here! Leave now! Shit, I gonna kill you!”/
When Abel shouted, the door opened in every room in the hallway and the dolls poured out. I answered calmly.
“I told you, Abel.”
The voice of Abel, who abused the bodies of Park Geon-ho and Woo Seo-hyuk in Cheon Sa-yeon’s past, was still clear in my head. The incident that destroyed Gangnam and the bomb attack in the D45 Area.
The affair with Abel was really damn long. Now is the ti to end that affair.
“I will kill you like your comrades.”
