There Is No Salvation for Extras - There Is No Salvation for Extras chapter 84
84 – Same purpose, different goals (5)
“This is the worst.”
Worst. To summarize her life, it could be summed up in one word.
She was just as happy as a child when she knew nothing.
Her parents who love her, and her countless friends. She is just an ordinary child who lives a happy life because of them. Money, love, she was just a little girl who grew up lacking nothing.
A girl who felt that her peaceful life would last forever, and that she dreamed of protecting these happy days with her own hands.
As a child, from the day she realized that her voice had an unusual power – she was a child who dreamed of becoming a hero.
-Mom?
But,
-Dad?
The time it takes for that dream to be shattered and your peaceful daily life to be ruined – just one day.
It started with a villain’s terror – no, it was a hero who caused the terror, not to say it was a villain’s terror.
Of course she knows. They are heroes in words, but in reality, they are villains who have joined hands with villains. That they are the same villains they joined hands with.
But no matter what, they were heroes, and it was also heroes who fought them and failed to protect the citizens. Fighting with villains who were a married couple and causing a huge fire in the aftermath – and not being able to handle the aftermath so they just sucked their fingers until the water hero came – in the end, they were heroes.
Why? The word did not appear.
Villains exist in this world, and heroes exist to stop them. In a world like that, it was natural for a fight like this to occur and for people to die in the process.
But the fact that it was her own family is another story, and the fact that it was a child who had to deal with it and understand it was just an extremely harsh reality.
The girl who realized the true faces of the heroes she dreamed of that day screamed like that –
-Little girl.
“…Yes, yes?”
Unlike her other heroes who could not reach out to her, there was one hero who approached her with a soft voice and extended his hand to her.
-I am truly sorry. It’s our fault.
The man who stretched out his hand in apology and who thought he would save her-
-Would you like to come with me?
She held her hand, believing with all her might that it was her fate.
-Welcome. We don’t have a proper name for it yet – but yeah.
Not knowing whether she was caught in his trick or whether it was a trap that would lead her life to the worst.
-Should we say it is the evil brigade…?
She didn’t know that he would eventually become a villain.
Yes. This is a story that has already passed. No matter how much you regret it, it’s just a story that can’t be undone. The past can never be undone, and even the present and the future are shackled by the shackles of the contract. She has no choice but to live as a villain and die as a villain.
Even though she did not kill anyone directly, she was a bystander and watched people whose hearts and entire bodies were exploding and dying right before her eyes.
It was he who used his popularity to attract people and make those in the same situation take the path of a villain.
She was a villain. She was a criminal who could not be forgiven by any words. Because it was she who actually trusted and followed, looking with envious eyes at the only person who had extended her hand to her.
“…Ah.”
But sometimes she dreams.
What if – when her own parents were caught in the explosion and dying, there had been a hero who could have prevented the attack.
No, if only there had been a strong hero who could prevent such things from happening in the first place – a hero who could look after the citizens.
No, if the hero who reached out to him even after going through all that had been a proper hero-
A girl who stood alone and trembled in fear – has now become a villain. Is there anyone who can save her?
I know. That it can’t exist.
Those she kills do not return. The reason she is having these regrets now is only because her own death is approaching right before her eyes. Whatever the cause, she is ultimately a villain, and there is no way she can save a villain, right?
Look at it even now. A huge rock falling from the sky. Truly, isn’t it a fitting end for an evil villain?
“…Mr. Hangyeol?”
I thought so.
“Why?”
Why did the huge rock that tried to swallow her up disappear without a trace?
Yumi, who saw the huge rock that had been falling with such force just moments ago turning into dust and disappearing, asked him with all her sincerity.
From Noble mtl dot com
She didn’t kill the villain who was fighting him, the villain who tried to toy with him – why doesn’t she kill him? Even though he had the opportunity to kill himself, why did he make the huge rock that fell disappear just before that?
But no answer came back. Hangyeol, who had already used up all his strength and fainted, was unable to give the correct answer.
She sat down in vain, and soon she covered her mouth, looking at Hangyeol, who was sleeping as if he were dead.
…Actually, she knew the answer.
The person in front of her now is the hero she dreamed of in her innocent childhood. A hero is someone who stops villains. He never exists to kill villains.
That’s why he stopped. No matter how much of a villain she is, he can’t kill her – but that’s not why he erased the rock using telekinesis.
The reason he overused his telekinetic powers was for the lives of citizens.
I guess they knew that if that rock fell, all the citizens would die.
“Really…”
But no matter how much she does – even though she’s pushed herself to the limit, she’s still questioning those things.
“Really…”
She is the enemy. She is even a villain who was targeting him. And yet, even though he knew this would happen, he did not kill –
“Hero, yes.”
She staggered out of her seat, smiled bitterly, and approached Hangyeol.
No matter what the situation is, she wins right now. Now all we have to do is brainwash him and make him move, and this damn plan will be over.
Even if he can’t use his abilities, he should be able to do simple brainwashing if he rests a little. Therefore, she approached Hangyeol and stroked her head, and then opened her mouth, but-
“…Damn.”
She gritted her teeth and lowered her head.
What is this feeling right now? Why does my heart hurt so much?
Because she used all her powers to save people’s lives? Because even though she could have won, she put people’s lives first?
And to those who were protected – Because they projected themselves as children?
“……”
She was silent.
Even though her strength to brainwash him has returned, she just continues to stroke his head while looking at him as he sleeps.
How much time has passed?
“Reinforcements will come now. “Heroes are only idiots, but they are not that incompetent.”
Finally, Yumi opened her mouth, and she chuckled, putting his head on her lap.
“…I can’t go to jail.”
This is a clear act of betrayal. The moment she is captured, her heart will probably explode and she will die. Just like the people she has kidnapped so far, they will die due to her leader’s abilities.
“You only need to brainwash once. “I don’t feel like doing that at all.”
But she gave up on brainwashing her Hangyeol.
“If you had been a hero when I was young, would the future have been different?”
She hopes for a future where victims like her no longer come forward. I thought that such a future would never come in my lifetime –
“No, if I think about it now, it probably doesn’t have any meaning.”
It’s different now. Because she saw that possibility before her eyes.
“I’ll just… Believe it.”
She quietly lowered her head and kissed her smooth forehead,
“I hope that everything you wish for, a peaceful world will come.”
With tears in her eyes, but with a sincere smile, she quietly closed her eyes.
A collapsing concert hall. The hero collapsed there, and the villain placed him on his lap and stroked his head.
The villain, who has been reformed but has committed so many sins, is unable to harm the hero and silently atones, even though he knows he will eventually die.
An unrealistic sight that can never come true. A scene like a movie you might only see in a play. A drama where you can’t even tell if it’s a happy ending or a bad ending –
Party.
“…Huh?”
The audience watching it laughed and clapped.
Clap clap clap clap…
The sound of applause that comes out of nowhere. Yumi slowly turned her head and-
“You really can’t tell what’s ahead in this world.”
“…You.”
When I made eye contact with a boy who was laughing and clapping, I froze.
“Nowhere else has there been an ending like this.”
