Main Character Hides His Strength

106. Tools and Human (1)

The darkest moment of the day is before dawn. This world was engulfed in such darkness.

But someone found out. Much more breathtaking than the darkness is the true owner of this barren earth.

In eternal darkness and silence, someone purposely shouts.

“What the hell is this place? ”

It was because I felt afraid that I wouldn't be left with anything else because I would be swept into this void.

“What the hell. It's his dream. ”

You hear a familiar girl's voice behind you.

Someone glances back, happy to see you.

There was an incredibly cute girl looking up at herself with her eyes wide open.

What about this face? No, not a bride. ’

Seeing someone's surprised face, Bertelgia smiled and pointed at herself with a sheep's thumb and said in a boastful voice.

“This is the book you were hugging. This is who I am. Well, I understand my surprise because I'm so pretty. The title of the queen bee is not for everyone. ”

Some realized that this girl had just brought herself into the world.

‘What is this guy? Even in this situation, I'm relaxed. ’

Bertelgia reaches out, grabs someone's hand and looks around, frowning slightly at the handsome Ami.

“I don't have time for idleness. We need to get this human out of here fast. Otherwise, the world is finished. ”

The owner of a cute and elevated appearance is unbelievable calmness and calmness.

No one who has ever broken through hell knows what to do in front of this absolute void.

Vertelgia grabs hold of a handful of Pokémon and drags them forward.

“Where are you going? ”

The dog volunteers to be taken to Bertelkia and asked in a small voice.

“Anywhere!”

Vertelgia had no idea where to go.

“It's better than staying still, right? ”

Bertelkia steps forward.

I didn't know where to go or what to look for, but I was desperate to fight harder than to stay still.

How long have you been walking like that?

Bertelkia has found the ruins of Whitemere Beach just beyond the dark space.

“There! There's something! ”

The two sped up their pace.

Finally, the two of them arrived in front of a house.

The house was more familiar to anyone than Bertelkia.

The penthouse on the second floor? ’

The house looked like an old residential house that was commonly seen in other countries, not in this realm.

“Hmm. Strange house. I've never seen a house like this. Other than looking hard, it doesn't look good. Something's wrong. ”

Bertelkiah stands at the door and says,

“This is the house of the other side of the world. That's a little old, too. ”

Someone looks at the door sign next to the gate and says, She who could not read Korean characters could only recognize Kim's last name.

‘It's Kim's house. Maybe this house is an old house of Kim Sung-cheol. ’

Someone walks through a tightly closed gate and pushes against the door.

Huff.

The door is securely closed.

In the world of dreams, her power is no different than that of an ordinary woman. Therefore, it is impossible to penetrate the wall or jump over the wall.

I noticed something good in the eyes of someone who had been in trouble for a while.

A doorbell.

She opens her eyes and presses her hand against the doorbell, staring at her.

Beep, beep, beep, beep!

A very rustic electronic sound rang out.

“Woo!”

Bertelgia screams in surprise.

“What? This! ”

“It's a doorbell. ”

“Doorbell? What does it work on? Magic? Alchemy? ”

“It's the technology of our world. ”

When I was talking about it, I heard a loud noise coming from the gate. The door was opened.

That means there is someone in this house.

‘Kim Sung-cheol must be in here. ’

A dog and Bertelkia enter an open door.

A very narrow garden with mostly blocked concrete appears on the wall.

In the garden, there was a faucet with a red basin and a hose cut in the middle with a knife, and there was a mess of old rusty bench presses.

Bertelkia found a familiar object among them. A bath made of cheap synthetic resin.

“Could the Orcs have made it? You didn't make it. ”

Someone stood in the garden and looked around the whole house.

‘90s? It's probably the only house you'll ever see in the' 80s. ’

A dog walks through the garden and Bertelkia stands at the front door.

The gate is fortunately open.

Opening the door revealed the old scent and the faded family landscape.

In the narrow corridor is a small ingot.

A human shadow.

The moment she saw it, she recognized at a glance that it was Kim Sung-cheol who she was desperately looking for.

She waves forcefully toward the black shadow and speaks in a cheerful voice.

“Hey, bro! What are you doing in there? Rejuvenate properly! ”

A black shadow, once told by Bertelkia, turns its head to this side. The dog who saw his face and Bertelgia's body stiffen.

There was nothing there for the boy's face. The faceless figure glanced at the uninvited and walked into the room by a narrow corridor.

“What should I do? ”

Someone asks with a slightly bored voice.

“We have to go after them! ”

Bertelgia bites her teeth hard and leads the way.

After arriving first, Bertelkia stares at someone who is standing far away.

“What are you doing? You're not coming? ”

“I don't have to go, right? ”

“No, you should come too! ”

In Bertelgia's determined demeanor, someone sighs and stands at the door with Bertelgia.

‘What the hell does this mean? ’

Thinking that way, Bertelgia grabs the door hook and throws it wide open.

Queek.

It was a normal family room.

But the collectors in it were much older than any other era.

"Brown Museum"? This looks like something from a museum. ’

Soon, someone was stunned in front of the TV and could find a faceless boy watching the broadcast.

What the hell is he looking at?

Some doubted and looked at the screen on TV.

News footage was being broadcast from inside the Brown tube on analog TV. It was tragic that the car along with the couple slipped into the rainy road and hit a full-time shareholder and all died.

But on TV, only the news repeatedly appeared. There was nothing else. The voice of the announcer repeated the death of another person gravely, and the image of the faceless boy watching the news without a frown, made no one feel appalled.

‘There are places like this. ’

Someone wanted to get out of here fast. The longer I stayed, the more I felt like I was going to fall into a nightmare.

“Hey, Living Book. ”

It was time for someone to open their mouth.

“Shh!”

Bertelkia puts his finger over his mouth and stops the dog with one arm.

The faceless boy who was watching the news stood up. Where are they going?

The boy crosses Bertelkia and a dog into the hallway. Bertelkia nods at someone and follows the boy.

The landscape changed as I left the door.

It was a view of the funeral home.

In front of the burning jewel, the serene sadness soaked in the air, while beyond it, the sounds of chattering and even the sounds of joyous laughter were heard.

Completely contradictory atmosphere.

The faceless boy was sitting alone in front of the silent Holy Spirit, drinking and seeing faceless people chattering in the barn.

The faceless monsters soon stopped talking and walked towards the boy who was sitting alone. The ominous shadow falls long and covers the boy's feet.

The boy stood up and fled from them. Bertelkia starts running, grabbing a single arm of a dog.

“Hurry up! ”

Behind you, the monsters who cast the black shadow slowly walk after the boy.

One can hear the creepy voices of the monsters coming from behind as they run.

“Sung-cheol, let's go to your uncle's house. Uncle will take good care of you. ”

“What are you talking about? I'm going to my aunt's. Don't you like the money I made? ”

A voice filled with pure malice and greed.

The dog feels a chill in its hind trunk.

‘What, this guy. What kind of life have you been living? ’

As I stepped out of the funeral hall, the landscape changed again.

It was an old school.

The boys who had their hair cut short in uniform surrounded the boy with a big, faceless face.

“Son of a bitch with no mother! ”

“Stay out of my class! ”

The boys were abusing the faceless boy. excessive violence.

Bertelkia was watching the faceless boy change with his cold, sunken eyes.

A white flame began to burn in the boy's heart as he lowered his head and silently listened to the abuse.

A fire of despair and hatred.

The ominous white flame that bloomed from the heart quickly spread and burned the boy's whole body.

After the boy was caught in the fire, the other boys who were making abuse disappeared, and at the same time, the school landscape in front of Bertelgia and someone else disappeared.

The landscape changed and turned into a factory full of machine tools. The smell of bitter iron was swollen on the tip of my nose.

There, the faceless boy was still wrapped in a white flame, quietly manipulating the press machine and making something.

Several people approach him with their hands in their pockets.

“What do you think? Can you lend me some? We're friends, aren't we? We haven't worked together in years. Please help me, thinking I'm saving a friend. Huh?”

The man who mourned with a disdainful voice suddenly caught in a white flame and turned to ash. The flame was absorbed by the faceless young man and doubled his flame.

Similar humans have appeared and repeatedly disappeared into flames.

They were leaning on compassion and loyalty together and asking the faceless young man for something.

Seeing the recurring scenes, Bertelgia thought to himself,

‘You're showing me. What kind of life you've lived. ’

As she guessed, the faceless young man was Kim Sung-cheol.

It was a predetermined tragedy in front of the man who endured burning himself with hatred.

The fate of the candle is determined by the length of the wick.

Even if there are many candles left, the flame will eventually go out when the wick is finished holding on to the candle.

The flame of the faceless young man quickly extinguished.

In the end, he dies alone in the crowd, losing everything in a thrilling entertainment hall.

That's life before Kim Sung-cheol came to this world.

“... What a pity. ”

It was a short sighting of some kind.

I have seen many people with many mourning in the Summon Plaza, but I have never seen anyone die so miserably in solitude.

‘You've been betrayed, abandoned, and you've had so many terrible experiences. ’

Bertelgia seems to know by now.

When I first met Sung-cheol Kim, I felt that he was more like a golem-like machine than a human being.

Once again, a narrow corridor appears in front of Bertelgia and some dogs.

The corridor was endless, unlike before.

They walked down the hall without saying a word.

There were so many doors.

Bertelkia opened one of them as a test.

Beyond the door is the view of the Arena.

When he was rebuilt in front of Sung-cheol Kim, who was wounded and gasping for breath, many enemies were smiling and approaching. Beyond him, tens of thousands of spectators were screaming and only wishing for his death.

Bertelkia closes the door in a hurry. It wasn't her memory, but she could feel vivid. The fear, despair and thorough loneliness Kim Sung-cheol felt at that time.

“ ……. ”

Immediately after closing the door, however, Bertelgia's eyes darkened the cohesive light.

Bertelkia strides forward, and someone notices her and follows her.

Thousands of doors in narrow hallways.

It was the place where Kim Sung-cheol kept a few memories.

There were not many good memories.

Even at the end, they face the consequences of betrayal.

Inside the most recently created, clean door, Bertelgia was able to see a man without a face, as she dominated the happy lives of Rise Hymer and the Kria family.

A man without a face turns away, feeling the wit of Bertelkia, saying nothing, but he seems to say:

What have I been living for?]

The man disappeared into ashes, piled up in a white flame in a deep void.

A miserable, miserable memory.

But the more she did, the stronger her heart became.

‘You survived. In these terrible memories. ’

Bertelgia clenches two small fists.

The determination to save an unfortunate man was hot in my heart.

I could see the end of the hall that was not going to end soon.

At the end of the hall, Bertelkia could find a door that was completely distinct from the other doors in the hallway.

It was a locked door with a lot of locks and chains.

What is he hiding?

It is the first time a door has been closed in a long hallway.

Bertelkia is strongly curious, but a voice from across the hall turns her attention toward you.

Beyond the hallway was a voice that was hard to resist.

“Come on, answer me. What do you mean, Sung-cheol Kim? ”

The next moment, another voice rang out across the hall.

“… I will be the instrument of God. ”

Bertelkia's heart sank.

Voices coming from beyond the stairs.

It was Kim Sung-cheol's voice.
