Possessed an Academy Security Guard - Possessed an Academy Security Guard chapter 133
133 – 133. Angel Arael (2)
Do you know the term Chekhov’s gun?
This is a metaphor given by a writer in the sense of avoiding unnecessary foreshadowing or novelistic devices, such as saying that if there is a gun in Chapter 1, you must shoot that gun in Chapter 2 or 3.
Since the name of the metaphor is Chekhov’s gun, it must have been said by a writer named Chekhov.
Anyway.
Based on Chekhov’s gun theory, a divine being is bound to appear in the ending of the possessed water. Because at the beginning of the novel, a divine being who possessed the main character must have appeared.
Whether the protagonist was against that god or he cooperated. Whether the main character returns to his original world or he remains in a world possessed. The story started by the divine being must end by illuminating the divine being.
Sometimes there are novels where the very existence of God is not clear or even the cause of the possession is not revealed at all, but if it ends like that, the aftertaste will inevitably be unpleasant unless it is written very well.
However, you must be careful when introducing a divine being in the ending. Readers’ curiosity must be carefully addressed.
Why did God make the main character possessed?
How in the world was he able to possess the main character from another world because of how amazing his ability was.
And what was the earth god doing all this time?
Before that, whether there were gods on earth.
In the first place, what is God?
If you don’t clearly present the answers to all those questions, it will end up being only a half-ending. Therefore, the writer must give the god in the novel a validity that the reader can understand.
And the most convenient setting to give such validity is the multiverse. Multidimensional. Or a parallel universe setup.
“…… The knight’s tomb was in another dimension? So it doesn’t mean beyond the gate, but a completely different world? Like the world I used to live in?”
“Yes. That’s right.”
Arael’s explanation is that there is a world completely different from the world created by the Heavenly Demon of Pleasure, and that a specific place in that world was cut out and connected to this world, and that is the knight’s tomb.
“In other words, there are many other worlds besides the world I originally lived in and this world. Of course, there are as many gods as there are. Like me, Wilhelm is also a victim of the Heavenly Demon of Pleasure kidnapping without the knowledge of the god of the world he lived in, right?”
“…… You accept it surprisingly quickly. I thought you’d be a little more surprised.”
“Because it is overflowing with such a setting.”
These days, quite a lot of ice water starts with the concept of the multiverse. Without doing that, the novel that didn’t even get 500 views at the end turned out to be another world, and I won’t be able to convince you of the same setting.
‘It’s definitely shocking. Well, it could be.’
From the moment I was possessed in the novel, I was thinking that it might be a setting like that.
Just.
“But there is one thing I don’t understand. You said that the difficulty of the Knight’s Grave was not the Heavenly Demon of Pleasure’s intention, but the difficulty adjustment. But, like Wilhelm and the Four Knights, they say they are from a different world? So, are you saying that the system arbitrarily kidnapped additional residents of another world even though the Demon of Pleasure did not intend it?”
According to Arael’s story, it seems that bringing a being from another world is a taboo concept among gods such as the Demon of Pleasure. That’s why the Heavenly Demon of Pleasure also brought us without the knowledge of the earth god when I and Kang Ha-neul were possessed.
However, without even realizing the Heavenly Demon of Pleasure, the system he created kidnapped the Knights of all four directions? The words didn’t match.
“…… No. Neither the system nor the Heavenly Demon of Pleasure intervened in the appearance of the Four Knights. It was really an accident.”
“Accident…… ?”
Arael, who was moaning as if his mind was not organized, began to slowly explain.
First. The Heavenly Demon of Pleasure, who wanted to f*ck me, ordered an angel named Ramiel to give me a ‘trial’. Accordingly, Ramiel focused on the fact that the dungeon practice was scheduled for 1 minute and a half at the time, and tried to put me in danger by moving the tomb of a knight who should have appeared three years later as a double dungeon in the dungeon.
That was the problem.
The Knight’s Tomb is an otherworldly place. Wilhelm was from another world. In order to bring them to this world, it was necessary to prepare in its own way, so the appearance of the knight’s tomb was scheduled three years later. However, before Ramiel was ready, he forced himself on his own.
In the process, an unstable gap was created in the ‘dimensional wall’ that separated the two worlds, and through that gap, the four-way knights related to Wilhelm crossed over.
I belatedly closed the gap, but in the meantime, the god of the world Wilhelm lived in noticed that he and the other knights had disappeared. In response, he is said to be tracking down who the god who violated the ‘taboo’ between the gods is by turning on the light in his eyes and looking for traces.
“That alone made my head hurt, but one of the four knights ran out of the dungeon. It’s not even from this dimension, it’s not even being tracked. The world is in a state of emergency right now. The reason I was able to come to see you like this was because the other sisters were busy taking care of themselves and couldn’t pay attention to me.”
‘It’s nice to hear that.’
Doesn’t this mean that the Heavenly Demon of Pleasure is riding on a poop rope and can’t be bothered? He said he was suffering, which was something to be welcomed. It was all thanks to the angel named Ramiel.
“…… But why did the angel named Ramiel do such a reckless thing? If you just listen to the story, it’s not a part where you can make a mistake.”
“I don’t know why. However, it certainly wasn’t a mistake. Because Ramiel is not immature enough to make such a serious mistake.”
“If it’s not a mistake? Could it be that you did it on purpose?”
“I think so. I can’t believe it and I don’t know why…….”
I also thought deeply while watching Arael who was speechless. If the angel named Ramiel didn’t make a mistake, it means that he did it in hopes of the current situation.
‘Why?’
Aren’t angels, after all, servants of the Heavenly Demon of Pleasure? Even though Arael in front of me is intimidated by me and cooperates with me, he is essentially on the side of the Demon of Pleasure.
However, just looking at the actions of the angel named Ramiel, I wondered if he was not a subordinate of the Heavenly Demon of Pleasure, but was rather hostile to him. If he was a mistake, he’d be seen as just cosmic-scale trolling, but he’s not the kind of person to make a mistake.
After that, I thought about it for a long time, but in the end I couldn’t figure out the answer. It was natural. Arrael doesn’t know why Ramiel did that, so how can I know that I’ve never met him?
Just.
“You said it was the angel who told me to tell you about the knight’s tomb, right?”
“Yes.”
If Ramiel has a plan, it must be related to me in some way. Otherwise, there’s no way I’d ask Arael to tell me about their situation.
‘Ramiel clearly said he favored me before. He couldn’t have done it out of sheer favour. It’s probably his ulterior motive to use the possessor for his own purposes.’
The problem was that I couldn’t figure out what the intention was. I let out a deep sigh in my frustrated heart.
That moment.
-Have it. If you really want to stand against the god of this world, it will definitely help.
Suddenly, what Wilhelm said flashed through my mind. He handed me a red rosary, telling me to keep it if I wanted to fight against the Demon of Pleasure.
In my original world, the rosary was a religious object. If Rosario had a similar meaning in Wilhelm’s world…….
“Arrael. It’s about the escaped knight. If we don’t catch him like this, will something bad happen?”
“Of course. That knight was originally blessed by God in the world. He is not the Heavenly Demon of Pleasure, but the god of that world. Maybe the god of that world will track down the energy of that blessing and find that knight.”
A knight blessed by God. And the rosary, which is used as a religious symbol in many creations.
What if the rosary inside my body contained the protection of a god from another world?
‘…… Indeed, did that happen?’
Only then did I understand why Wilhelm handed me the rosary while talking about going against God. You will need the help of other gods to fight against them. And that key was the red rosary he handed over to me.
‘Wilhelm gave this rosary to me, who was kidnapped by the Demon of Pleasure like him. And the reason Wilhelm was able to meet me was because Ramiel had accelerated the appearance of the Knight’s Tomb for some reason. If all of this is what Ramiel intended…….’
At one possibility that popped into my mind, I laughed quietly without Arael’s knowledge. All the angels are subordinates of the Heavenly Demon of Pleasure, so they were no different from my enemies, but maybe only those angels were my allies.
“Do you have any more questions? If not, the story of the knight’s grave will end here. What’s important to you now is not the knight’s tomb or the situation in the heavens, but enduring the trials to come.”
At those words, I raised my head and looked at Arael. At that moment, a sudden curiosity.
‘Why is this angel helping me so much?’
Because I threatened you. Because Ramiel asked me to help. There was a reason, but he was too kind to tell me all the facts.
Even just talking about a god in another dimension right now. It wouldn’t be good to reveal that fact to me, who can’t have good feelings for the Heavenly Demon of Pleasure.
“Arrael. Why are you-“
“Yes?”
“………… No, nothing.”
I was about to ask that fact, but I gave up. Because I thought it would be a scratch. Whatever the reason, if Arael is obedient and helps me, I will only accept that help with gratitude.
“So? What should I do to overcome the ordeal of inferno difficulty?”
“First of all, getting stronger is the top priority. Train hard, and hurry up to collect artifacts that can be intercepted along the way.”
“I was going to steal the primordial silver from an amusement park episode sooner or later.”
“Good idea. But that alone isn’t enough. At least before the first semester is over, if I don’t become stronger than A-level top, at least Ryu Tae-hyun, I will never be able to overcome the trials that will come.”
“Even if you say that, I already have almost all the opportunities I can get. The rest of the talents have not yet appeared, or are just the ones that are difficult for me to take care of myself.”
“I know. That’s why I came to see you today.”
Arael snapped his fingers and a paper map appeared in the air. There was a red dot in the middle of the map that appeared to be near Jongno, Seoul.
“When Dungeon Crisis happened in the past, there was a spirit that came out of the dungeon and disguised itself as a human. Because you have the certificate of the Frost Spirit you got from Wilhelm. If you meet that spirit, you might be able to get some help. Maybe you can receive the blessing of the spirits.”
“This is something that was not in the original work at all. If I suddenly meet that spirit, won’t other angels or the Heavenly Demon of Pleasure become suspicious?”
“You can meet by pretending to be a coincidence. Since it’s a tourist destination, you can go on a trip with the women you’re dating-“
At that time, Arael shuddered and looked up at the sky. She has a look of urgency on her face.
“Why is that?”
“Da, another sister is looking for me! I have to go back right now!”
“Wait, I still have a mountain of questions to ask-“
“D-If you get caught, neither I nor you will be safe! I’ll come back to see you later, so I’ll be back for today!”
Arrael’s halo shone brightly and a blue gate occurred behind his back. She hurriedly threw herself at the gate, and the gate closed the next moment.
“Huh… ….”
It was regrettable because there were still a lot of things to ask, but I didn’t want to. As Arrael said, if this tryst was discovered, neither she nor I would see anything good.
‘I thought it would clear up my curiosity, but it just piled up more questions.’
I learned the truth about the knight’s tomb and even the whole world, but on the other hand, there were a lot of new questions that came up because of the existence of another god and Ramiel’s plan. I was groaning at the complicated twisted and twisted situation, and suddenly I looked at the map Arael handed me.
‘…… Okay. I have to do it step by step, starting with what I can do.’
I got a clue to defeat the Demon of Pleasure, but it was really just a clue. What was urgent to me now was to overcome the various trials to come.
I folded the map into my pocket and looked up at the clock tower.
The time was just past 3:00 in the morning.
***
The Heavenly Demon of Pleasure can no longer intervene directly with Ahn Soo-ho. Instead, he raised the difficulty of the ordeal set for Ahn Su-ho to the highest level.
The influence will come to him in various forms. It may come as an obvious incident, or perhaps the situation surrounding him may gradually deteriorate. People around him, not him, may be in danger, and perhaps he will have to make a painful decision at the end of twisted and twisted situations.
Concerned about this, Ramiel ordered Arael to help him, but that help was nothing compared to the hardships he would face in the future. No, I thought it would be like the blood of a bird’s feet.
Neither Ramiel, nor Arael, nor even the Demon of Pleasure knew what trials would come before him.
So it’s 3:00 in the morning.
Just in time, at the exact moment when Arael and Ahn Suho broke up.
A safe house near the green house. A temporary prison in the basement of the mansion where Ahn Soo-ho lived with Ji Ye-won.
“…… Right.”
A naked woman lay helplessly on a bed in the middle of it. With her entire body restrained by a tight belt, she only moaned intermittently while losing her wit.
Jihyun Park.
An executive of the Dawning Corps, whom Chaeryeong Min managed to save from the threshold of death.
In the beginning of her life, Min Chae-ryeong saved her to get her information from her, but Park Ji-hyun suffered severe damage to her mind and could not even speak properly. In the end, Min Chae-ryeong decided to bet on the possibility that she would be healed naturally by her psychic powers and embed her shell-like body deep inside her safe house.
However, Min Chaeryeong himself was skeptical about the possibility that Park Ji-hyun would recover. In terms of percentage, it’s about 1%.
Since Yoo Hyeon-ho was already an informant for the Ryeomendan, Min Chae-ryeong did not cling to that low probability.
“…… Ah.”
However.
As the difficulty of the ordeal set for Ahn Su-ho increased, finally, despite the infinitely low probability.
“………… Ah.”
Those eyes that had been dead for over a month had finally regained their light.
