The Devil’s Dead Child - Chapter 281
Only Noblemtl
#281, Insult
Just as Han Seong-jun was uncomfortable with the inexplicable gaze, Cha Yu-ra’s mind was also complicated.
If Cha Yura knew how to fully feel her emotions,
At least if I knew how to show it on my face,
It was not a moment when such static gazes could cross.
Because Cha Yu-ra knew that George Kim was Han Seong-jun.
Because she is now.
Normally, I was experiencing complex thoughts that should have manifested themselves as surprise, joy, sadness, curiosity, etc.
“… … .”
The day I was asked if I knew anything about George Kim.
The National Intelligence Service employee who was involved in the investigation of George Kim took control of the National Intelligence Service, accompanied by prosecutors.
The circumstances are unknown.
But was it really a coincidence?
Cha Yu-ra sneaked into the server room that day with that question in mind.
In the process, he was stopped by someone, but he even committed a bold act by knocking out the opponent with a brain gun and stealing his ID card.
The fact that it took half a day was just the case when the restoration was carried out here.
Opening the backdoor took less than 5 minutes.
Cha Yu-ra, who safely achieved her goal, returned to work as soon as she left the NIS and hacked the NIS server.
Originally, the goal was to obtain information related to Han Seong-jun and Gu Chang-soo,
The questions that arose at the National Intelligence Service were not something to just ignore.
Another look at George Kim’s MSSI (Mana stream scan image).
Cha Yu-ra felt a strange sense of déjà vu.
It’s not a feeling of familiarity because it’s something I’ve seen before, but a flash of something similar in my past memories.
Soon, I remembered that I had recently seen a human with ‘two red dots’.
Jay One… ,
Visual data of S-class golem No. 1 guarding Han Seong-jun’s house.
I was disappointed to learn that the visual information was different from that of Han Seong-jun during the J.1 test.
After a while, he actually returned, and I was convinced that the person caught by J-1 that night was Han Seong-jun.
Cha Yu-ra, who quickly found the data, rendered the image in 3D and overlaid it with George Kim’s.
And it was confirmed that they matched ‘perfectly’.
When I pretended to die,
Seongjun Han lived as George Kim.
He made contact with the general through nuclear weapons.
Considering the circumstances at the time of investigating George Kim, it was found that he did not reveal his identity to his father.
‘Did all his suffering come from one general?’
The subsequent disappearance of a general.
Re-emergence.
Han Seong-jun returned around the same time.
The armed conflict between father and son in front of the Blue House… .
Catastrophe.
Han Seongjun’s madness.
Quite a lot of what Cha Yu-ra figured out was connected,
Also, many aspects were lacking.
Thirsty.
Only Han Seongjun’s honest answer seemed like refreshing cold water.
“Why do you treat me like that… “Do you have anything to say to me?”
In response to Seongjun Han’s question,
Cha Yu-ra came out of her thoughts.
She moved for a moment, as if she was actually trying to pry her dry lips, and then opened her mouth.
‘you… ‘What on earth are you doing alone?’
But other words came out of my mouth.
“… it’s nothing.”
“yes… . “You’re looking at me too closely.”
“sorry… . “Because he resembles someone I know.”
“ah… , there is no need to apologize. “It can happen.”
***
After bowing and bowing to Cha Yu-ra, he turned his head forward.
I broke into a cold sweat for no reason.
I don’t know why.
hmm… . That’s it.
Isn’t there something called the feeling that eyes give?
I am a ghost,
Of course, it cannot be seen by others,
It felt like someone walking down the street suddenly stopped and looked at where I was.
Roughly speaking, it means that the eyes look like they are seeing something that others cannot see.
‘If you think about it that way, it’s not a big deal if you see it… .’
In general, humans are more appalled than ghosts, so I think I used the wrong example.
Anyway, while thinking such useless thoughts,
Some people are flirting with the person next to them,
We worked hard to climb the base of the tower.
The Tower of Desire is shaped like a piloti building, with six pillars supporting a huge tower on a foundation shaped like a cut from the top of a stepped pyramid.
So, when I say the base – I mean up to the top of the foundation, the height of the foundation was roughly similar to that of a 40-story apartment building.
Whoo, whoo.
Gasp!
The sound of flirting from below gradually decreased and was replaced by heavy breathing.
“Whoa, every time I come to the tower, whoa, I feel it, whoa, doesn’t this feel like shit? Phew.”
“I mean, gasp! The bastard who built the tower, gasp! I want to beat up a dog, gasp! Uselessly, I raised the entrance, gasp! “Fuck, don’t tell me about this hardship.”
“Hehe, no, but hehe, that little gummer sheep, hehe, surprisingly, he’s holding up well.”
“Gasp! I can hear you, idiot! Be careful what you say. Gasp! … No, crazy. Gasp! “Isn’t that something that can hold up well?”
okay. I can hear everything. Children.
Does ‘black haired sheep’ roughly mean a black-haired sheep?
Anyway, he’s talking about me.
I didn’t bother to show that I had heard and just glanced around.
As I looked, the only people who were breathing evenly so far were Dae-geun Park, Ha-seon Kwon, and I.
‘… I guess I should at least act.’
I didn’t want to attract more attention, so I put on a painful expression and started taking deep breaths.
“Huh, haha… Wow, haha… .”
People who don’t know may wonder why elite fighters, at least A1 level, have such a hard time climbing only 40 floors.
It’s because of the tower’s influence.
The moment you step into an area that is differentiated based on
This is because a huge force weighs down the bodies of visitors.
In fact, this climbing process was a repetition of rock climbing and walking on flat ground.
Although the base is said to be ‘stepped’, each step was over 5 meters high.
Therefore, hunters who did not reach Grade A – those who had difficulty supporting their bodies on two legs could only climb by crawling on the floor or driving stakes into vertical surfaces.
Even in the magic world, you can’t float by flying.
Of course I can.
In fact, he has been secretly flying in and out all this while, and that also requires continuous surge of momentum from the high-speed flight that belongs to high-level magic.
thud! Fluffy.
dump!
Thump, thump, thump.
Now one step… ,
At the point where there was only one rock wall left, about two-thirds of the members knelt one after another.
It was possible to hold on for a long time, but this is because the closer you get to the top, the stronger the pressure becomes.
“Gasp! “I will take a breath and follow you.”
“I’ll be there soon!”
Still, everyone seemed to understand their own limitations and didn’t look embarrassed or discouraged at all.
I also collapsed on the floor without realizing it.
Gu Chang-soo, who was still standing, glanced at me and sat down with me.
-Aha, is that so? An old sage said that in a river, you should hide 30% of your strength.
‘her… !’
I was so shocked that my nose came out.
It is not because Gu Chang-soo’s sage is a martial artist.
That’s because a guy who couldn’t even use telepathy spoke to me naturally.
That means… This means that he thought that I would naturally read his thoughts, so he just left out what he wanted to say.
Gu Chang-soo grinned and thought, probably because my expression was revealed.
-I have to adapt on my own, so what can I do?
『You would probably have succeeded on Earth as well. I was a bit hasty and was thrown into the corner of the room.』
-It almost sounds like a compliment, right?
“right. compliment.”
I am not a person who is stingy with praise.
However, since I am not the type of person to talk for a long time, I turned my head away.
Just then, Daegeun Park jumped up the last wall.
The top of the base.
The place where the pillars stand can finally be called the ‘lobby’ of the tower.
“oh my… , It’s sticky.”
Park Dae-geun, standing alone at the summit, turned his waist and looked down at the members of the investigation team.
“Hey! Still, you lasted one more space than last time? … huh? Oh oh! Our Minseong! “I like the mentality of not giving up easily!”
As I followed Park Dae-geun’s gaze, I saw a Taekwang member crawling on all fours and reaching the wall.
With difficulty, he stretched out his hand and grabbed hold of a stake that someone had left behind, and then slowly got up.
Clap clap clap!
Whoosh!
The members who were spread out on the floor also cheered him on by whistling and applauding.
Suddenly, I looked up what Kwon Ha-seon was doing and found that he was encouraging his unit members and sharing bottled water with them.
Although he was still fine, his slightly red face was dripping with sweat.
For an S-class person, it is an ordeal similar to that of an ordinary person climbing a mountain.
Next, I looked for other motivations.
As expected, Song Yeon-hee and Cha Yu-ra were spread out on the floor with their backs to each other.
‘oh… !’
Only Beomgyun Choi stands out as he stands with his knees bent and moves forward step by step.
Choi Beom-gyun will soon be here too… .
Eat.
It’s funny that they’re making such a fuss before even entering.
To be exact, the members of the investigation team were not being funny, they were laughing at Marduk.
‘Just looking at the guy writing the bad news… ‘You’re not that great of a god either.’
If Marduk was the one who built the tower,
I thought that Marduk’s intentions were also reflected in this useless ‘flagship’ placed at the entrance.
It was a nasty prank that had nothing to do with the difficulty level inside the tower.
It is simply an embellishment for one’s work,
It was nothing more than a physical act of kneeling.
So guess what… ,
‘I mean, you have the temperament of a god who is hungry for awe.’
Or try saying no.
… Of course, there was no way to hear an answer, but once the muzzle burst, it did not stop immediately.
Of course, I didn’t really open my mouth,
To the tower – and to the sky,
The thoughts toward Marduk were scattered.
‘Does bullying kids like that make you feel even more amazing? Do other gods even ask for countless handshakes?’
It’s not like I didn’t know about this before.
As I watched my friends moving together struggling, I felt something twisted in my stomach.
‘Ugh. You idiot… . Why do you live like that? If you live like that forever, you won’t feel ashamed-‘
Flash!
Grumble! Quang!
“… … !”
Kurrrrrr─.
Suddenly, a thundercloud formed near the top of the tower, showing hundreds of lightning bolts and making loud thunder sounds.
‘Did you really answer just now?’
Or, while I was thinking things like, ‘Am I going to give a damn just because I got cursed at?’, the sky was constantly flashing.
However, there was no lightning striking.
Just flashing in the thunderclouds.
“what. “Why is the weather like this all of a sudden?”
“Come on, if you don’t want to go in because you’re so wet, move quickly before the rain drops!”
The executives of each organization hurried the members, and the members who were scattered around also hurriedly packed their bags.
Gu Chang-soo suddenly woke up and said, putting his hand on my shoulder.
“Just in case, let’s move quickly.”
“… … .”
“Mr. George?”
But I couldn’t easily take my eyes off the thunderclouds.
For me, it’s just bad weather… ,
It wasn’t like a joke anymore.
… It was the first time Marduk showed any reaction.
The story changes,
I’m not just assuming it’s because I messed with the system.
He can hear me,
Maybe we can communicate,
blast furnace… Because I felt that it existed somewhere out there.
Only then did I feel a little nervous about that fact.
It is not regret or fear that I used my mouth incorrectly.
It feels like having been dealing with an invisible ghost as your enemy until now, and then suddenly coming face to face with a tiger that has regained its appetite.
And in my eyes.
That mass of thunderclouds surrounding the top of the tower was clearly injecting enormous energy into the tower through thunder energy.
‘Fuck. … ‘It’s ominous.’
