Transformation or Death - Transformation or Death chapter 295

295 – Snake’s Head (4)

It wasn’t even sunset, but the world was red.

It was because drops of blood got into Jo Ayun’s eyes. The area in front of my eyes was red, as if ketchup had gotten into my eyes. Oh, now that I think about it, I decided to eat. I have to eat what my brother likes. Once again, I wanted to ask him about the lunch menu without any hesitation.

It was midday in the world.

The sun was shining fiercely high in the sky. Her sun did not seem to disappear.

His body had no head, and the sky filled the empty head with the sun.

The subtle sparkle that occurred when his falling body met the sunlight was sharp. Blood soaked the soles of his feet and gave off a fishy scent.

The blood that wasn’t my own on my lips was warm. Blood covered everything from her eyes to her toes.

In an instant, the wind blew and even the small warmth of the blood was carried away. Jo Ayun was cold and shivered. The trembling did not end for a moment.

His headless body rotted quickly. The once muscular and firm flesh quickly became bony, leaving only the bones. The flesh was already infested with maggots.

When I looked closely, I saw that it was not a maggot, but a snake. It appeared that an egg had been planted in the cross section of the severed neck. From that cross section, tiny snakes like insects sprang up like water from a flower.

The snakes quickly ripped off his flesh, wondering if there was anything to eat in such a thin body. It was an instant for white bones to be revealed in a red world.

“…no.”

Jo Ayun cleared away the snakes, muttering in a voice that was dryer than sand and distorted. The snake ate my finger, but it didn’t matter.

After chasing away all the snakes, her hands were dirty with a mixture of her own and other people’s blood. Only a few bone fragments remained in her hand.

The wind blew again. My fingers were hot and cold as they were touched by the wind.

It was the beginning of the coldest fall in the world.

**

he is dead His head was cut and he died instantly. It was a clean death with no room for hope. What was a little special was that there was a large amount of poison and snake eggs in the cross section. They slowed healing and accelerated decay with poison, and then snakes devoured the corpse.

A measure that eliminates even the slightest hope of healing magic. It was a thorough response, as if they knew in advance that Han Jaejoong had the power to heal.

Jo Ayun’s eye, which came into direct contact with the poisonous blood, went blind. Her red world was the last she would see.

Sometimes the world feels too fast. This fall was like that for Jo Ayun.

A lot has changed.

The snake quickly began devouring the world after that. The level of the seemingly endless sea lowered, the highest mountains became flat, cities collapsed into dust, and nights became longer than days. Jo Ayun heard all of that only through hearsay. He couldn’t help but listen.

His death changed many things.

The woman who was engaged to him suddenly disappeared, saying she would seek revenge. It is said that she alone removed half of her snake’s head. Sometimes her letters would come and she would tell Jo A-yoon where she was and what she was doing. The contents of the letters were largely similar.

What what month what what happened. I caught a snake. But he ran away. I’ll chase you. It could be summarized simply like this. In his last letter, he said he was going to the polar region. She was very obsessed.

One day, news from her that I heard infrequently suddenly stopped. It was rumored that she died while she was still at her most vulnerable in the harshest and coldest part of the North. Jo Ayun decided not to believe it.

The girl who followed him continued her activities even after his death. I worked desperately to save people in a world that was being eaten away. The girl who always thought of him as his rival died in the same way.

When he was in his weakest, untransformed state, a snake crawled up and bit his neck. I heard that a snake grew from her corpse and ate all the people she guarded.

Jo Ayun worked to evacuate people from snakes. Butterfly’s abilities are specialized for mass movement, so it wasn’t that difficult. Although she was tired and tired, she did it quite well. She ran away endlessly. Although she had less and less land to run to. One day she found out that more than half of the original evacuees had disappeared.

Still, I had to run away. Because people who live must live.

It was a woman named Ara who helped Jo Ayun, who could not see.

Why the fuck are you making me suffer like this because your eyes are so blind?

Even while grumbling like that, she replaced Jo Ayun’s eyes. She read the letters, told them where to settle, and saw how many people had joined and how many had left out.

Jo Ayun sometimes felt anxious and asked Ara how much time was left in the world. Ara gave the same answer every time.

You idiot, there’s still a long time left. Do you think the world is going to ruin already?

However, the rumors that were sometimes heard were contrary to what she said.

They say snakes have now eaten all the way to Africa. What remains is Asia and Europe….

A chilling wind blew.

The whole ground collapsed. I can’t hold on here any longer.

Now that we’re running out of food… we need to slowly reduce the number of mouths we eat…

Did you hear? The Kims really did it. Let’s just live with the mother and her children… no, what can we do then? Everyone is already doing that.

They say Europe has now been taken advantage of too. It’s really over. There’s nowhere to run.

The biting wind knocked Jo Ayun.

Rumors continued to spread, and by the time there were less than a tenth of the refugees left,

Jo Ayun asked Ara again.

How much is left in the world now?

Ara smiled and answered.

What are you saying again?

The words have changed.

It’s over now.

Jo Ayun gave up running that day. He did not choose resistance. He had accepted death. Well done if you made it this far. My brother won’t say anything either. In that way, he consoled himself.

That day, Jo Ayun cried endlessly because her eyes were so sore. The blood that got into his eyes that day stung. A piece of him is still visible and has not disappeared. Jo Ayun’s world was still red.

In the red world, all I could see was the past. Why? The more times like this, the more trivial things come to mind.

Once upon a time, I wanted a certain doll. A doll that was at the supermarket her mother stopped by every time she went shopping. It was not a typical teddy bear or puppy doll, but a hummingbird doll. She wanted that doll, which was as cute and small as a real hummingbird. Every time she did her shopping, she would run to the doll section and look at it for a while until her mother finished her shopping.

When her mother asked her if she wanted it, she shook her head. Even when I was young, I knew that my family was poor. I was satisfied just by looking at it.

One day I went to the supermarket and the doll was gone. I didn’t know if someone had bought it or if it was taken off the corner because it wasn’t popular. Why didn’t I honestly say I wanted it? That day, Jo Ayun became depressed and skipped meals.

It’s been like that since ancient times. Even if there was something she was greedy for, Jo Ayun’s attitude was to give it up for the sake of others.

Even if there was a menu I wanted to eat, I would go to the restaurant my older brother or sister wanted to go to, and even if I wanted to go on a trip and see something, I would stick to a pre-set schedule. Even when I was working, I would give up my own activities to others.

That was enough.

That’s what I thought.

But I couldn’t.

There is something I learn when I look back. Just like the doll I wanted to have, the food I wanted to eat, and the older brother I loved.

Before I knew it, that brother had become one of my regrets. Not the regret of not being able to protect it, but the regret of not being able to say it.

He was the first man she liked, and the man she would like until the end.

Sometimes I even imagined getting married.

Sometimes I even imagine giving birth and raising a child.

I imagined my son’s name and my daughter’s name.

I thought about holding hands on the same bed, embracing that big, strong body, and waking up together in the morning.

After that, I rolled out of bed and asked what to eat today, I’m thirsty. Please bring me some water. Such trivial things are decided through playful bets.

Ah, I couldn’t be satisfied with just looking at it. The blood-dried lips moved and made a sound.

I was in love more fiercely than I thought.

He had already been her universe and her sun for a long time.

Since we lost the sun, there is no way we can see ahead.

Jo Ayun’s world had already ended long before the world was eaten.

Araya, how much of the world is left now?

I asked, but no answer came. Slurp. All I could hear was the sound of the snake moving. The biting wind still persisted even though fall had passed.

The season was already winter.

So much time has already passed. Jo Ayun recalled.

It was a very strange life. The person I most wanted to be by my side was the first to leave, and the person I thought I could never be friends with stayed with me until the end. I wanted it but got nothing. It was because he had ignored it.

A kid who was being bullied. His desires were cunning and cowardly, just like when he was a child who was timid but did not want to give in to his pride. He was in an ambiguous position and was just trying to get a close look at the happiness that was out of reach.

If you don’t want it from the beginning, there won’t be any sadness when it gets rejected. I was afraid of rejection and ruin, so I didn’t even try.

What would it have been like if I had been able to answer Yun Seol-hwa’s questions that night as I wanted?

Jo Ayun was able to stand with him. Not as a close brother and sister, but as one woman and man.

It was Jo Ayun’s choice to run away and lose her way.

There is something I learn when I look back. Just like the doll I wanted to have, the food I wanted to eat, and the older brother I loved. Only after seeing his life did Jo Yoon realize that she, too, had a dream.

The name of the dream was happiness.

As I accepted death, paradoxically, I developed a desire to live. I wanted to live and achieve happiness.

I once collected a finger that had been bitten by a snake. Even though the wound had already healed, the tips of my fingers were sore.

Jo Ayun put her hands together and hoped for a miracle. Even though his eyes had lost their light, he still wanted them to shine. He hoped for peace even though the world was long since destroyed.

please. Please grant me a miracle. I have never believed in God in my life, but when I was pushed to the edge of a cliff, I found God. Even if there was a god, it was obvious that he would laugh at it and say it was an abomination.

But I hoped. Because you can’t even start without hoping.

I prayed that Han Jae-joong, who was thought to be dead, would come back alive, and that Yoon Seol-hwa, who was actually somewhere in the remote area, would appear. While my eyes were closed, I prayed that all the rumors I heard were lies.

All I could hear was the eerie sound of a snake crawling.

I want to be happy.

Jo Ayun said.

Jo Ayun’s world was still red. He was soaked with blood.

However, bright white like bones in the blood also remained.

“I’ll go back and tell you my love.”

That’s what he said. This time it was not a prayer but a declaration. I put my dream into words.

I knew it for a long time.

Dreams are not something to wish for, but something to achieve.

The butterfly flew.

Now.

From noble mtl dot net

The day the universe was planted in Han Jaejoong.

The day the wings of the galaxy unfolded.

On the day that miracle bloomed, Han Jaejoong was not the only one who achieved it.

You saw a star. Ah, Yuna.

A voice was heard.

She, who made miracles bloom, also had miracles.

Possibility does not mean that something is certain to happen. If you don’t take the opportunity, it’s useless. What Jo A-yoon said all the time. Those words were no exception for me.

The two hands were brought together in earnest hope for a miracle, and the miracle had already been in their hands for a long time.

It was a miracle that she, and no one else, had to bring about.

Butterflies surrounded what little land was left. It hugged its owner as if protecting it from predators.

It protects the dream and even connects it to the dream. That is the role that Jo Ayun must play.

It was no different from my own dreams.

I jumped over space to continue my dream.

Now is the time to surpass even time.

To reach.

To reach love.

To save the world.

To fix the broken world.

To make your dreams come true, dream.

The light was dim in the two eyes that had lost their light.

Life is ultimately just a dream. Whether it’s a butterfly or a person, it’s a flower that will fall someday. Therefore, even dreams are reality.

Even reality becomes a dream.

Dream of the tiger locust.

The butterfly made a path.

The place that needs to be reached is the soul. The place where it was delivered was in the past.

This strange life is conveyed through a dream.

Butterflies flew, dancing with the stars.

**

A butterfly touched me. The beginning of fall. To Jo Ayun, who saw darkness in the sky.

It’s been a long time since I felt the sunlight. I see the world.

“…Why, why are you doing that?”

Tears flowed. Ara was embarrassed to see Jo Ah-yoon suddenly crying. Even that became another reason for tears.

Everything can be seen with two eyes.

“…Now I finally see the stars.”

“yes? Stars? “It’s the middle of the day here right now?”

Stars, dreams, the universe, and the world appeared before my eyes.

I even jumped through time and saw the world again.

“It means I found my job.”

This is another opportunity. A possibility that has been discovered at best.

If you get the chance, you have to make it happen.

“I don’t hesitate anymore.”

Jo Ayun grabbed the belt and pulled it.

[CASSIOPEIA!]

[THE GALAXY!]

I found my star.

[Are You Ready?]

Now, preparations are complete.

Now is the time for change.

That’s why I shouted.

“Transformation.”

The world seen in her eyes as she cried out like that was blue.

Because it’s not time for sunset yet.
