Chapter 148 – Area 1 (5)
The round and plump body of Kkiseuli suddenly turned into a key.
That’s also with the key that she took and ate at the first meeting with me.
“… What is this?”
Embarrassed by the unexpected incident, she poked her finger at the doll that had turned into her key.
“It’s hard.”
Not only did the form change, but the material also changed.
The only thing that hasn’t changed is the color.
“I thought they were simply pets with good appetite…”
I guess that wasn’t it.
As for his abilities…
“Can it be changed into something absorbed?”
It just doesn’t seem to end there.
I can’t be sure because of the lack of information yet, but I’m guessing based on weak evidence that the guy’s change may be able to contain more than a simple change in form.
“… I really need to experiment.”
He was such a mysterious guy that he mentioned an experiment to find out his true identity, but there was no rush at all, but now the situation has changed.
As much as it seems to be a very useful ability, it must be uncovered through accurate experiments.
That way, you’ll have a rough idea of when, where, and how to use Kkumseul.
“First, solve this door.”
It is not a problem that can be solved by standing anywhere and thinking for a moment.
It would be right to finish the task in front of you and go back and relax in your thoughts.
With a slight sense of tension in her arms, she pushes the key that has turned into a key into the hole.
As if to say that I was born to enter this place, the preta fit perfectly.
This makes it clear that Kkumseuli’s ability is to change his body with the things he absorbed.
I twist my wrist sideways as I insert a piece of the puzzle that has been messed up in my mind into a corner.
Clap!
Soon the door opened.
The crack in the door where the pitch-black darkness I saw just before seemed to beckon me to come.
On top of the tension in his arms, he puts one more piece of anxiety and vigilance on top of it and moves on.
Every time my body seeps into the darkness, I feel like I’m being sucked into somewhere.
I slowly open my eyes with the feeling of passing through a long tunnel.
“Here…”
The first thing that caught my eye was a huge statue attached to the opposite wall.
A bronze statue of a person kneeling on one knee and praying with both hands clasped together.
A large hood is on the head, and angel and devil wings are sprouting from the back at the same time.
If you look at her slender lines, she looks like a woman, but if you look at her firm posture, she looks like a man.
The way she prays makes us feel reverent, but when we see the area around her blackened face covered by her hood, a disturbing feeling fills her heart.
After barely taking my eyes off the statue, which gave a puzzling yet strong impression, I looked around lightly to evoke the strange feelings that were seething.
On the left are paintings of infinite despair, and on the right are paintings of infinite hope.
Human cries and joy.
End of the world and peace.
Centered on the statue, the left and right sides are precisely contrasted.
“I’m not a patient with obsessive symmetry, what is this…”
My head is dizzy at the level of suspicion of mental illness.
I was about to walk to the left to take a closer look at the painting, when a loud noise suddenly resounded in the room.
[Come closer.]
[Come closer.]
“… ?”
Male and female voices, large and small, rough and soft, strong and soft, cold and warm, etc., Disturb our ears at the same time.
The source of the voice that fills the entire room is the statue in the middle.
[You worked hard to get here.]
[You managed to find the way here.]
“Wasn’t it hard?”
It wasn’t really that hard.
I did consume a bit too much of my mana to threaten 496 times, but that has already been recovered for a long time.
[…]
[…]
Voices that suddenly became mute and ate honey.
[The reason I called you here is because I have something to deliver.]
[Khaha… ! I have something to give you.]
“…”
Apparently, they agreed to just ignore my words and move on.
[Get this.]
[Okay, take this.]
A weak light suddenly began to emanate from the statue’s eagerly gathered hands.
The light that leaked through the cracks in my hand gathered in front of the statue and became a small mass, and then fluttered in front of me.
Is this what you want to receive?
As I naturally stretched out my hand, a group of lights that had stopped in front of me approached and wrapped around my wrist.
Dig!
There was a bracelet on the right wrist where the light stayed.
Red and blue, black and white, a shape made of colorful threads intertwined.
At the bottom of the bracelet, two glass-like beads are suspended from the ends of a thread.
“What is this?”
[The bracelet’s name is the balance of karma.]
[Its name is the balance of karma!]
[The karma from your actions will accumulate there in the future.]
[The bracelet will tell you. What kind of person you are!]
[Save, help, save.]
[Kill, steal, trample!]
[Goodness will lead you on the right path.]
[Evil will lead you to the highest pleasure!]
“So, um…”
Thoughts are quickly organized in my head.
“You mean the results of my actions will gradually accumulate on this bracelet, right?”
[That’s right.]
[Yes.]
“And depending on which direction that karma points, my end will also be determined.”
[You are smart.]
[You’re pretty smart.]
Well.
I wonder if this much can be inferred by an adult.
“As far as I know, only those who have obtained the key to the sanctuary can enter it… , So, are those without keys eliminated?”
[It is not.]
[No.]
“Then?”
[All 504 selected people will get the balance of karma.]
[Those who have the key can only accumulate karma faster.]
“Aha.”
Then the real benefit of the key is that you can build up your karma one step ahead of others.
Alright, that’s all sorted out, now it’s time to address the last remaining questions.
“One last thing.”
I asked, pointing to the bracelet on my wrist.
“I don’t like this style, do I really have to wear it?”
The style is also a problem, but the symbolism of the bracelet itself is actually a bigger problem.
Isn’t wearing this just announcing that you’re one of the 504 chosen?
[You can set it to be invisible to others if you want.]
[… Try pulling the marble on the right.]
Hearing the voice, I immediately pulled the right one of the beads hanging from the bracelet lightly.
Then, a message window popped up in front of me.
[Invisible Mode ON]
“Five.”
It’s safe if that’s the case.
“Hmm.”
It seems that all the doubts in my head have been cleared.
While thinking about whether I am missing anything.
[All I have to say is finished.]
[This is all I have to say.]
Suddenly you want to let me go
“No, I’m not going yet…”
[Looking forward to your future full of goodness and waiting for the next meeting!]
[Next time, come back even worse!]
“Uh, uh… ?”
Colorful magical energy pours out from the statue and wraps around my body.
A feeling of floating is transmitted as if the body is floating.
A harbinger of space travel, which has already been experienced several times.
Maybe 4 or 5 seconds passed.
I open my eyes to the hot heat transmitted from the floor I am touching.
Jump jump jump!
In the eyes of her lying down at an angle, she sees a boiling electric blanket and Kkuseul jumping on it.
Apparently, I was forcibly transported to my room.
“Oh, it’s hot.”
Turn off the electric blanket, remove the blanket over it, and stand up.
The feeling is very strange.
“It feels like I just woke up from a dream…”
The sense itself clearly remembers all the moments I felt a while ago, but my mind is a little hazy, as if I just woke up from sleep.
However, I have something that proves that all those moments are not dreams.
Right on this wrist.
“Hmm…”
This is a wonderful bracelet in many ways.
Even though I’m wearing it on my wrist, I don’t feel the fit at all.
“It’s the balance of karma.”
It is a strange and strange thing.
Karma is a word that originally refers to the good and evil deeds that are created through words and actions.
In other words, depending on what actions and words I choose, different karma accumulates in this bracelet.
“It’s nothing, what.”
I decided not to think about it.
I will not deliberately do good or do evil.
Every day is too precious for me to be careful about my behavior while worrying about my bracelet.
What will be the result of that?
Isn’t it adults who are responsible for the results of the words and actions they choose?
Just accept the results and take responsibility.
“How did you get this life?”
Uh… , Of course, it’s not a life I got by trying something, but anyway.
Image management started based on sudden popularity.
A life as a national hunter that has been lived as a result.
Haven’t I already artificially changed the trajectory of my life and received the worst result?
So my opinion is firm.
No matter who threatens me with a knife, my life will never change.
If you get offended, you will be beaten, if you touch it, you will get double revenge, and grace will be paid back with interest.
And.
Sleep when sleepy
“Damn it, come here.”
I call Kkemsuli, who has evolved from a cute and adorable companion animal to a completely precious companion animal that has nothing to throw away.
Jump jump jump!
I embrace the guy who rushes at me as if I’ve been waiting for it.
I slowly fell asleep in the psychological stability conveyed by the firm and soft texture.
