The Origin of Species

“Mister! What is that mural? What's that supposed to mean? ”

A big circle. And that little circle in there.

“Clan, what is that? What a different level of mural than what you've seen so far. I'll draw that, too. Well, what good is a mural now? Clan, let's get the door open! The squid waits for me! Haha.”

Xinwoo's brother grabbed Por and smiled faintly. Of course it'll break your heart. I've come to the entrance of Cenderosis, where I've been longing so hard. Then Lindsey said.

“Sir, that's similar to the pattern of a duck. A circle inside a circle. ”

Oh, I can see that. But my guess was that the mural and the markings had nothing to do with it.

“Iran, can you translate the text for me? ”

“You, I would have done otherwise. ”

A slightly tense voice. Suddenly, a regression battle comes to mind. I didn't even know she could decipher that text, and she might betray us after reading it. Maybe her betrayal wasn't just about the ancient texts.

In fact, considering what I did back then, it wasn't weird to be betrayed by her at all.

Soon, Surin, who was leading the healthcare scene, ran to this place. Suddenly, the voice of Eiran, a fluttering figure, echoes through the tower.

“A woman who knows everything said. The age of Humans is over now. ”

Apparently, centuries of humans in eight-story murals went to a woman who knew everything. I guess that's what I heard.

The end of the Ancients.

Iran pauses, then slowly continues.

“We asked her. Well, is there any way that the origin can live? And she said, The only way to avoid the public gardens is underground. ”

“What! So this is the basement! We were right! ”

“Oh, Shinwoo. Quiet down. Hope is quiet, too! ”

“Big.”

Iran bites his lip slightly and opens his mouth again.

“When we thought that the ducks had to live in the dark all their lives, we couldn't stand the anger. And that anger, of course, directed at a woman who knew everything. Why didn't you help us? I knew this was gonna happen, but why did I let it slide? And she said, Shouldn't I save my child? Thousands, tens of thousands of times more precious than your children. ”

Was it? I don't have any memories of that time. Nevertheless, I am confident that I am the child in the ancient text.

“But I couldn't admit it. We were more precious than her child. Besides, wouldn't she be able to erase the existence of the park? Surely if she knew the future, she could have used it before the public gardens were built. Nevertheless, it means that the public gardens are needed for their children. What was left was our anger. We tried to attack her who didn't even touch the airports. ”

Ancient Humans tried to attack the Emit? Her power that I felt was truly divine. Perhaps if you had just attacked her, the ancient humans would have gone extinct.

“Ha.”

The voice of Iran, who reads the ancient texts, starts to tremble.

“Then she said, If you attack me now, both you and the ducks will die. But if you give up your lives, the ducks will be able to live in a new world. We asked ourselves, what is the new world like? She says, circling in a circle. It would be a perfect underground world with two continents. ”

In the ancient text, a detailed description began to follow.

“Two continents totaling six towers. Stems are spreading, but the only two continents are spreading. She wanted to bring the two continents underground. But the problem is that even with our power, it's hard to make that happen. It was then that she slit her wrists with a knife. ”

“Huh? I think I've seen that a lot. ”

“Oh, Shinwoo. Let's focus on the story. It keeps breaking down. ”

“Okay, okay. Well, you're nervous. Well, that's where you are. ”

The anterior nerve stands sharp. In fact, everyone's nerves were sharp except Shinwoo's brother. Right after the wrist was slit.

Iran continued to decipher the text with a trembling voice.

“The red blood flowing from her arms. It was her source of power. She bled constantly, even though it seemed painful. After a day, after two, after a few days, her blood didn't stop, and we licked the blood off the ground. The blood was truly tempting. We can amplify our powers thousands of times for a short time. ”

I focused on not stopping the word "amplifying power." Emit was also at risk if blood was a source of power. But how did they come to exert such power?

The thought that passes through my head.

‘What if it speeds up blood cell generation time? ’

Then we might live with the blood for a few days. When I think about it, I keep hearing Iran's voice.

“There's only one thing left. Destroying public gardens with this power. However, the public gardens had already been hidden. From the moment we fed on blood, we didn't have time, so we had to build the underworld, just like she said. ”

The underworld.

“The eternal time we had turned into power by her blood. And everybody imagined it. I, Babylon, move the world with my mind, and Cranium lights up the ceiling. Stahl processed the ingredients of the air to make it the same as the ground, and Byron gave the continent itself the power of other humans. With the power of ice, the Sahai caused eternal cooling to erupt from the center of the continent, and the space isolation of the Shirn surrounded the entire underworld. Yes, all of the remaining powers were used for the origin. A system that supplies refinery using a tower, removing stems from two continents. And this mural carved into every tower. This is where you stand, devoted to our time. ”

Gulp.

The drool passes. I hear you for the first time.

That means that there is something to be said for those who are looking at this mural.

It's different.

“So I have a question for you. If we open this door, our power will no longer be sustained. That is, the seal will be broken, and everything will return to its place. And that means the extinction of the origin by the public garden. No, maybe it's the extinction of all life with planetary energy. Can your conscience bear it? ”

Cenderosis.

It means the spark of conscience.

So that's what this was all about?

Now the mural is threatening. We could get a lot of people killed. But the world here was doomed, whether they knew it or not. Maybe you knew. In fact, I couldn't help it. The origins never thought they could beat the park. That's why you put up with these murals. It's better to just die in a world they created.

But something bothers me. Do you really think the Ancients thought of that? Those people who had a terrible crush on their child?

Suddenly, I see Iran's waving red hair.

Déjà vu.

It was like this in the past and then.

He looks at the wall like that and shakes his head, looking back at us. And then my colleagues started blowing their heads off.

She turns her head again.

But I believed.

I had a feeling I didn't need a human soul anymore.

We also ate human sardines and never got our heads blown off.

Except for Sohee.

“Have you heard enough, my lord? ”

Fortunately, Iran is smiling with trembling eyes. But then I guessed. She didn't tell you everything about the mural.

And the reason I can guess that is because she has a different pattern of behavior now than when she read the mural to the eighth floor.

Have you heard enough?

So far, Iran has said that after reading all the murals, he has always read them. That's all there is to the mural.

But what about now?

If there was something else in the mural, wouldn't Eiran, who couldn't lie, end up talking like that?

Then Shinwoo's brother said.

“Wow, what the hell! Then this is the basement of Earth! Not the underworld of another planet? ”

“Actually, I was expecting it. What are you so surprised about? ”

“Mister, I really didn't know. More like slitting that wrist! That's not it. That's it! ”

“Shinwoo, you knew that too. Weren't we all guessing? Ever since the woman who knows everything held the child. We all knew Sam's signature was different from ours. ”

Lindsey nods her head. Then Sohee nodded.

However, Fei glanced at his ear as if it had nothing to do with it.

But I couldn't hear them properly.

One step. One step.

I approached the anxious Iran. Then I turned on the silencer.

“Iran, what are you hiding from me? Tell me you have the silencer on. What the hell are you hiding? What else is in the mural? ”

“Did you notice? ”

“I believe in Iran. So trust me, Iran. ”

She said in a trembling voice. I believe in myself, too.

“But, my lord, I cannot deliver that message as it is. ”

“For what? ”

“Because I love you. As much as I'd like to protect you if I lied to you. ”

Her red eyes agitate her sincerity. However, the more fruitful the forbidden, the more curious one becomes. I told her quite decisively.

“Tell me. There was definitely the word 'child’ in the ancient text. Right?”

“I do.”

“That's why you're talking to me. Is that right? ”

“My Lord, the words of the ancients have been left to you, but they are of little importance. I don't know what kind of insult that is, but it doesn't bother me in the future. ”

“A curse?”

Once again, Iran cannot lie.

Well, is that a real insult?

Since she said it's not important, it must be true too.

What should I do? Should I?

But even though celebrities know it's bad, they still see comments.

“Iran, tell me honestly. I think you should know what you're talking about. ”

Her waving eyes. Soon, her words resound again.

“She made a complete joke of us. It was natural for the public gardens to disappear as soon as we had power. Because she warned the public gardens. She pretended to be helping us and then signed a separate contract with the public gardens. We drank her blood and had no choice but to create this world like puppets. It's like her family. Emit's child, I, Babylon, know you will come here. Did your mother make you a nice playground? Was it fun? But don't forget. There's been a lot of tears in your eyes for one of you. If you have a conscience, you'll have to kill yourself on the spot. ”

“That's it? ”

“Dear Lord, are you all right? ”

You nod. I've also written a great insult.

“It's nothing. ”

“Phew, that's a relief. I couldn't bear to tell you that you would kill yourself. ”

“Well, that's a lot of motherly love. ”

I don't know, maybe if it was me a long time ago, I would have killed myself out here in vain.

But...

A script written by Emit.

I'm the lead actor.

What the hell is wrong with you? I'm sure you did it for me.

‘Babylon, I'm sorry, but your conscience is long overdue. Because of your descendants, to survive your descendants! Especially Leo Babylon. ’

And Emit would have seen it all.

Whew, part two is almost done. As some of you may have guessed a long time ago, this novel started with the Earth Collaboration. The original title I had in mind before the original convention was empty. But the origin of the bell was more appealing.

Things related to Bonaparte will come out later. My mistake. I used to think I'd thrown a lot of clues, but it was also a beginner's idea. blah blah blah blah

It's my first work, so I hope you forgive me.
