Chapter 82 – 15. Reverse Heaven (2)
“…So, fortunately, Professor Shiana got a call and will come to the principal in a little while.”
The eyes of those who heard the explanation were colored with relief.
Jeong Ye-won, Ko Ryu-shin, Won Harin, and Oh Dong-hun. I can’t see where Pirahyun has disappeared.
As time passed, I could see that the sea was turning into the color of the setting sun.
If it hadn’t been for the scarlet light shattered by the lapping waves, it would have been a peaceful time.
Perhaps by now, Sanya has arrived on another island and is beating up the monster. It was also said that our island had already eradicated the monster, so even if it came slowly, that much could be taken into account.
“Should I prepare dinner?”
Originally, it would have been time to put our heads together and think about how to tackle the additional tasks and what the correct answers to the puzzles were, but now we didn’t have the energy left to do that.
I was hungry and tired and just wanted to rest.
Should I say it’s fortunate that it’s not cold at all?
“Today, I’m going to make pork rice bowl.”
Pass the rice because it is full of instant rice.
I took the vacuum-packed pork and the vegetable mix in the plastic bag out of the bag.
Thanks to the preparation of the ingredients before coming, you can just start cooking right away.
I put all the pork in a lightly oiled pan and stirred it.
Originally, real men don’t adjust the amount of meat, the more meat the better.
Then, when the meat is browned, add an appropriate amount of sugar and dissolve the sugar in the oil.
Baek’s recipe is always right, so there’s no need to know why.
Then, add all the pre-trimmed vegetables and seasoning and stir until the ingredients are cooked, and you’re done.
Even though I didn’t put a lot of effort into it, stir-fried pork seduced the hungry stomach with a savory smell.
“Everyone is going to be tired and tired of cooking, so instead of preparing dinner separately, we warm up the rice in stir-fried pork and eat it.”
“Thank you, Jihoo. I’ll eat well.”
“Now, I’ll eat well, Mr. Jihoo…!”
It was enough to feed 6 people because all the prepared meat was put in. No, Pirahyun is not there now, so 5 people will fit.
Even though it was rice with a really simple side dish, it felt more delicious than any other meal because I was so busy running around today.
Alas, this is the ‘value of labor’.
The desire to slaughter the capitalists with a sickle and hammer soared, but unfortunately, there was no such tool nearby, so I decided to leave it only in the realm of imagination.
By the time they finished eating, the sun had already set.
A faint crescent moon appeared in the western sky.
Sitting on a rock, sipping tea from a thermos bottle, I quietly gazed at the other islands across the sea.
‘Even if Joo-Ha can run away at any time… I wonder if Ha-Yul is safe.’
While I was frantically contacting the professor earlier, I sent a text message to Ha Yul and Ju Ha, but there was no reply from them yet.
If I wait, it will come someday, I just decided to think that way. After all, the rescue team is still on the way.
“The being that fell asleep will reappear in reverse and reappear… I have to interpret this too.”
It was a prophecy she spoke after her unexpected love affair with Fira Hyun.
To be honest, she still had doubts that Pira Hyun was her prophet, but she was at least convinced that she was unlikely to lie to me.
Pira Hyun wondered where she was by now, so she didn’t show up.
She stopped by her tent, and she wandered around the base camp, but there was no sign of her anywhere.
Well, she’s strong too, so she’ll take care of herself.
Since I was weaker than her, I was not in a position to worry about her, so she decided not to think about it.
Now is the time to focus a little more on prophecy than that.
‘The existence that fell asleep’, ‘Yeokcheon’, ‘Reappearance’.
Even the meaning of each word is unknown, but if you keep rolling your head, will any clues come out in the end?
“Are you going to tell other people?”
Come to think of it, I didn’t mean to do that.
I’d like to contact you and get permission, but unfortunately, I haven’t had Pira-hyun’s contact information yet.
It’s even more amazing that they didn’t exchange numbers even though they did a fella.
If you think about it for a while and get frustrated, you can ask for help.
With that in mind, she began to ponder the meaning of the word.
“The key word must be ‘Yeokcheon’…”
Reverse Heaven.
To go against the order of heaven.
It wasn’t a word commonly used in everyday life, but I knew the meaning well because it often appeared as an expression that seemed to be common in web novels.
Going against the normal order of things means breaking the rules that apply to everything in the world without exception.
For example, water flows from bottom to top, people return from the dead, and things like that.
If you combine it with the sentence ‘reappearance’ at the back, I think it would mean ‘an existence that could not appear in the world by nature appears in this world against the law’.
“Why couldn’t I come out? Was it sealed…”
Judging from the context, I thought it wouldn’t be very helpful to me, so I decided to turn my attention to the monster.
The first thing that comes to mind is a sea dragon in the West Sea that has not been seen for over 20 years, Anubis sealed away deep in the Egyptian desert, and Cthulhu diving in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.
Of course, the names were all invented by scholars with a bad naming sense, so it probably has nothing to do with the original name.
“After all, aren’t they all asleep? Sea dragons and Cthulhu aren’t coming out after diving, and Anubis is being sealed periodically by the Awakeners.”
As expected, prophets seem to have a nasty hobby that doesn’t make them feel better if they don’t tell them properly.
To match the development of the novel I know, the sea dragon wakes up just before reaching the cataclysm, and then Cthulhu starts working again. Maybe he warned of the future…?
However, it was difficult to see the two beings resuming their activities as a reverse change.
Did I just want to tell you that sea dragons and Cthulhu are quite large in terms of flow, but you can deviate from the development of the original?
Suddenly, I remembered the ‘several fixes’ I heard on the phone of a person presumed to be a writer.
Is it correct to assume that the already modified matters are affecting not only Siana but also other characters such as Pirahyun? For now, I need to focus on that direction.
– Whoops.
Just then, the phone vibrated weakly as if a text message had arrived.
I immediately turned on the screen, wondering if it was Ha-yul or Ju-ha, but what caught my eye was a completely unexpected message.
[Jihoo-kun, all the monsters on the island have disappeared. Blood and pus, which are the characteristics of the monster Jihoo wrote down, were found, but the monster itself, which is the main body, was nowhere to be seen even when looking around the island. We are heading to that island for now, so please wait for a while.]
The monster… Disappeared?
I definitely couldn’t think of a monster with the ability to walk.
Even though I approached right in front of me, it was just a mass of flesh with a terrible appearance that only repeated contraction and expansion, but the contents of the text were completely different from what I had imagined.
A feeling of uneasiness crept in.
What if there was a real hidden purpose, rather than just infinitely increasing the size through contraction and expansion?
No, in the first place, it was suspicious from the fact that the monster, who was nothing more than rags made from a patched-up body, showed an intelligent aspect.
I don’t know what kind of trick the being controlling the monster behind the scenes has, but I finally realized that it was already too late to stop it.
The faint crescent moon cast a hideous light.
Tonight, it seemed that something terrible was about to happen in the pitch-dark archipelago.
