The World of Masks

Emily wedges.

“What are you thinking about? This is your chance to get everything you want. ”

“You can't be trusted. ”

“But what if I don't? The only thing in front of you is hell. ”

Hannah bites her lip. Emilia's words stood in front of Hannah's path. A life surrounded by disgusting superpowers without the promise of truth.

I closed my hands with my mouth. I felt like the contents of my stomach would be refluxed even now. My hair rose upside down just thinking about the future.

At some point Hannah made a deal with Emily. A stalk of bronze coming down from the darkness. That was the contract now. I had no choice. I didn't have a chance to tell if the rope was a real escape line or a rotten East End rope. I just grab it with my desperate hand.

“Well done. ”

Emily happily tucks her jewels and papers into her arms. Hannah looks at you with anxious eyes.

“Don't look at me like that. I don't want to break my promise to you. ”

Seeing Hannah's prominent relief, Emily points out to the house.

“Let's go, then. To make sure you want it that much. ”

Hannah swallows a saliva.

* * *

Hannah walks to the target point, according to Emilia. Emilia disappears into thin air, saying she won't be accompanying you because she's too conspicuous.

When I got to my destination, a car was waiting for me, as Emilia said. It was the car that Emilia described, the kind and color of the car and the license plate. Hannah carefully opens the door and boards the car.

Boom!

The car left without any explanation. Neither the driver driving the car said anything. I ran for a long time into a building that was filled with dead silence. It was a very expensive building that suddenly showed great greatness out of the window.

“Welcome.”

When the car stops in the underground parking lot, the door opens and you hear a greeting. Emily has just arrived and opened the door.

“Follow me.”

With just one word left to say, Emilia steps forward. The high-heeled hissing echoes in the parking lot. After that, Hannah hurriedly followed.

Emilia takes the elevator and presses the button on the top floor. The elevator is starting to move.

“· · · · · · · What's here? ”

Hannah asked if she could not bear it. However, the answer came back to nothing.

“You'll see. ”

At the same time, the elevator arrived at the top floor. The door opened bluntly, without any noise. The first thing that caught my eye was the interior that was decorated with a refreshing image. I was worried that it would be okay to tread on the floor of a corridor made of marble without dust.

Emily steps into the hallway without hesitation. Hannah followed behind.

The corridor was not very long. You see an impressive wooden door with a delicate piece in front of them. Emilia turns the handle to open the door.

“I've been back.”

Emily raised her voice a little.

Hannah looks around. There was no wall to divide the compartment if one room was occupying the entire floor of a large building. Instead of standing posts and walls, you see glass surrounding the exterior of the building. The landscape was wide open and spectacular.

It was when Hannah's gaze turned toward the desk in front of her.

Hannah's vision catches something. There is someone. You find In-young staring out the window, turning a large, rotating chair to cover her entire body. Hannah was nervous.

Emily walks in front of the desk.

“I've brought it as you said. ”

Emily bows her head deeply.

Hannah's eyes widen. Emilia is definitely from over there. If she was such a deeply respected creature, it was better to naturally think of her as the enemy of this world.

“Good work.”

A heavy sound emanates from the chair turning its back. It was a man, judging by his voice. But there was more to worry about than that. Hannah tilts her head. It was a voice I had heard before.

At that time, the chair spun. Just as I watched the panorama, the scene was embedded in Hannah's eyes one by one.

The chair completely turned and revealed the identity of the man. There was no problem checking his appearance because the surroundings were bright. Hannah's eyes are so big that she's perfectly fine.

“It's been a while, Hannah. ”

There was her beloved Kim Jin-seok, who looked familiar and had a familiar smile and a familiar voice.

“· · · · · · · · · General? ”

“I'm the former President. ”

Jinsuk laughed. Hannah looks at Jin with her shaking eyes. You turn to look at Emilia, standing beside him like a secretary.

“Yi, what's going on? ”

His voice clearly marked the feelings of confusion and horror.

“Was she on our side? ”

Even in this situation, it doesn't say if you were the enemy. The truth was reasonably satisfied. That meant his image management was that thorough.

“No, Emilia is definitely the enemy of our world. ”

“Then why? ”

“Emily and I seem to be on the same side. But Emilia is not on our side. There has to be another conclusion. ”

Jinsuk winked with one eye closed and said playfully. However, the meaning contained in the words was never light.

“Stop, no way! ”

Finally, Hannah closed her mouth to see if she had reached the truth.

Dance!

I took a step back unconsciously. Jinsuk smiled brightly. That's the smile Hannah knew. But Hannah smiled strangely. Like a twisted monster.

“That's right, Hannah. As Hannah predicted, one of AMSS's former presidents and world-renowned wealthy, Kim Jin-seok, who was the last conscience of material civilization in the 21st century. ”

He stretched his arms wide like a play and spat out in exaggerated tone.

“He's the enemy of our world. ”

Bang!

A huge shock strikes Hannah in the head.

Hannah blinks as if she can't believe it. Her fluttering pupils and gray cheeks indicate that she is feeling confused.

Fluffy!

Hannah sat still. I couldn't stand the strength of my legs. The last burial chamber she believed in fell.

“Are you all right?”

Jin got up from the chair and lifted Hannah. Hannah had neither the strength nor the strength to resist. Her brow is covered in cold sweat.

Jinseok sits Hannah on the nearby couch.

“Emilia, get me a cup of tea. ”

Emily bows her head politely and leaves. Jinseok sat across from Hannah. Hannah's white face appeared on her pale LED back.

“Why?”

Hannah lowers her head and squeezes her voice for a while.

“Why are you the enemy? ”

“I was scouted by the other side. ”

Unlike Hannah, who desperately voiced, her voice was comfortable. Their voices dramatically contrast their feelings.

“I was a little different in the beginning. Psychopaths? Well, it sounds different in particular, but it's a good term for the general public to understand. And I guess that got the attention of the other side. It's even more complicated if you go into detail. ”

A psychopath. Hannah hears the word once hiccups. Even if the opponent is a psychopath, Hannah has the power to carve a single truck into pieces if it's an ordinary person. However, I was frightened by the sound of a psychopath in front of me, who no longer knew who he was.

At that time, the visit was open. You can see Hannah's shoulder shaking a little, surprised by the sound of the visit. Growing up, I was surprised by the breastplate lid. I seemed to be somewhat frightened.

“Don't worry. I like killing humans, but at least I know who not to kill." If I hadn't distinguished that, my men wouldn't have survived. ”

Teacups were set on the table with a click. An aromatic polyaroma touched my nose. Jinseok relaxes, placing the delicate handle on his finger. I felt a gentle warmth in a moderately heated cup of tea.

“Here you go.”

Jinseok handed the car over to the back of his neck for a sip. But Hannah didn't even touch the tea, instead of drinking it.

“· · · · · · · Have you deceived them all? ”

“Yes.”

Jinsuk admitted that it was cool. It seemed so legitimate that Hannah could lose her words. And I was sure the other person wasn't the one I knew.

“· · · · · · · Why did you call me? ”

“Didn't Emilia tell you? They work with us. No, come under me, to be exact. ”

“Did you think I would respond to that? ”

Hannah said in disdain, trembling with a deep betrayal. The man she loved was the enemy of the world. However, this was an expected response.

“Revenge can be given to gods and superpowers. ”

Hannah's body stopped steadily, trembling with betrayal, tension, and fear. Seeing that, he smiled with a satisfactory smile, and Jin taunted his tongue even more wisely.

“What do you think? I don't think you have a better offer than this. ”

Hannah said nothing. An unknown emotion revolves around her. No, it's not an unknown. I want to deny it. I don't think I can handle that temptation if I realize it.

“Everything you are is broken. Your anger is justified. I just want to help that anger a little bit. ”

The voice of authenticity became softer and the content became more subtle.

“I know you despise yourself. I know that's why I suffer. So let me help you a little bit. ”

Jin held Hannah's hand tightly. Hannah is furious and trying to take her hand out. But the voice of authenticity that was heard at that time took away all of Hannah's power.

“You're not like other superpowers. ”

Jinsuk continued, stroking Hannah's pretty hand slowly.

“You're just a good victim. Not even a fragment of the filthy god inside you can defile you. ”

Jinseok looks Hannah straight in the eye and says the last thing.

“You don't have to blame yourself. ”

In Hannah's eyes is a face of truth. Her tears narrow as she shakes her heart.

“But if you can't forgive me, leave it all to me. I am clearly the enemy of gods and superpowers. With me like that, no matter how superpowered you are, unlike everyone else, you have the right to kill God and superpowers. ”

Bloop!

A transparent path passes through Hannah's cheek. Hannah looked at Jinsuk. The man he loved was there, saving himself and smiling kindly.

“But, but you want to destroy the world. ”

Bring out the last remaining insubordination and try a weak resistance. But it was just a cute little puppy's affectionate brawl.

“Of course. But it's going to take a lot of time for this world to come to an end. that human lifespan is not going to withstand. And by the way, aren't you angry? ”

Jinseok grabs Hannah's shoulder and gently pulls her towards herself. Hannah comes up empty-handed. Jinsuk sets his chin against Hannah's shoulder and whispers in her ear.

“Aren't you angry? Those who glorify God and the superpowers without knowing how you feel. They are the only ones who are excited about the salvation of the world. ”

The faint color of Hannah's teary eyes is young. It was a fire of fury, though small.

“Your parents were killed by superpowers. But they're giving all kinds of compliments and cheers to your superpowers, as if they didn't care about your parents. Is that acceptable? ”

Jinsuk takes his chin off Hannah's shoulder. He slapped Hannah on the forehead. Hannah's rocking pupils are visible to her eyes.

“Those bastards, let's get rid of them.
