Chapter 969 – 969. Yggdrasil (7)
As soon as the light disappeared, the place I saw was…
“Workshop?”
It was a workshop with numerous workbenches and huge devices.
And unfortunately, I was not the only one who entered the workshop.
“W-Where am I!?”
“Oh, I guess it’s a workshop?”
It seems that all of his subordinates who were with Ryosuke earlier were also brought here.
Actually, there wasn’t much of a problem being together.
In the first place, I was worried because I was hiding myself using [Coward’s Art]…
“What! It’s Seongsuho!!”
“Why is that guy here!?”
“…”
It has become a situation where I have to do it.
[Coward’s Art] Seemed to have been lifted.
‘What? There may still be time left.’
I was puzzled and at the same time took out [Coward’s Technique] And tried to reuse it again.
But…
〈This is a prohibited area for consumables.〉
Could not be used with warning message.
As if moving to an unknown location wasn’t enough, you were surrounded by multiple enemies.
Looking at the situation alone, it was a very dangerous situation.
However, I was able to erase the sense of crisis that existed in my heart by looking at the guys who were surrounding me.
“Wow, that guy can’t believe he brought us here!”
“Ooh, we’re all dead!”
“Hey! “Run away!!”
The members of the organization were not even at the level to discuss fraud.
I started running away like crazy, with only the desire to live.
And some of the gang members began to beg me without being able to run away, perhaps because they were frozen in fear.
“Please save me!”
“I will do whatever you ask me to do!!”
“…”
Looking at these guys, I could see how much of a monster I was treated by those around me.
‘I’m glad I didn’t have to fight tirelessly. ‘Armonia, can you hear me?’
[Yes, I can hear you.]
‘Whew, that’s a relief.’
First, there was no problem with communication.
The story was that it would be no problem for me to escape from here.
‘You can use warp, right?’
[It’s possible. Do you want to use it right now?]
‘No. First, let’s check where this is.’
I looked around, ignoring the gang members kneeling and pleading.
As a result of looking around, I was able to learn about this place in more detail.
‘Workshop… It’s like a doll-making workshop.’
There were dolls the same size as a human body on the table.
However, all the dolls were not assembled.
Some dolls had no hands, some had no legs, and some had no heads.
And in a huge unknown device nearby…
Cheeeeek!
It was spewing out steam and creating something as if it were being processed.
I couldn’t see what was being made, but I could roughly guess it.
‘Doll…’
It seemed to be related to the unfinished doll on the table.
And with such predictions, one conclusion could be reached.
‘In the end, the story is that he was actually a doll.’
Ryosuke’s identity is a doll.
And he will have the ability to control the puppets created here.
‘You can either transfer your soul to the doll or control the doll itself…’ .’
First, neither of them felt threatening.
But that was my standard.
The members of the organization who are shaking in front of me…
“My… Please… Please save me.”
“Anything…”
It would feel like you fell into hell alive.
Let alone getting out, they don’t even know where this place is, and they’ll even think that I forced them here.
‘Because they don’t even know that their leader is a doll in the first place.’
I didn’t feel particularly pitiful.
‘Ignore the guys who ran away…’
There were about ten people who ran away, and only four remained.
I checked the hypnosis gauges of the remaining four people.
‘I refilled it earlier, so it’s all over 70%.’
I looked at the guys and asked them a hypnotic question.
“How many people have you killed so far?”
Each person gave a different answer.
3, 5, 8, 15
“Then how many of them were killed because they wanted to, regardless of orders?”
0, 0, 3, 10
Good. It’s over.
As soon as I broke the hypnosis of the four people…
Shoot! Phew! Phew!
“Wow!”
“Aaaaah!”
He shot two people with arrows in the chest and killed them.
When I suddenly killed two people, the other two started screaming and crying.
“Please, please save me!”
“Well, I’ll do anything… !”
I sighed and said to the two people making noise.
“I’ll save you.”
“… Yes?”
The two people looked at each other in confusion at my suddenly calm appearance.
I spoke to those two people.
“I just had no intention of saving Inseong’s trash.”
“Ah…”
Since we were part of the same group, they would know very well what the tendencies of the people I killed were.
And you would have immediately understood what I meant.
I looked down at the two guys with my arms crossed and warned them.
“Keep in mind. “If you do something that I don’t like from now on, I’ll treat you like trash like those guys.”
“Oh, I understand!”
“I will keep that in mind!”
“Good. Take the lead.”
As soon as they got up, they asked me with puzzled expressions.
“Uh, where are you going… ?”
“Where…”
I crossed my arms and muttered as I looked at the long workshop with no end in sight.
“I need to check where this is.”
“… ?”
The two looked at each other, and barely opened their mouths while looking at me.
“Didn’t you bring us here?”
“No. “I was dragged in too.”
“Ah…”
The two guys were rather disappointed with my answer.
It seemed like he thought that if he just followed me, he could get out of here with his life saved.
Han Na, who heard our conversation, asked me over the phone.
[Do I really need to be honest? If a dangerous situation arises, you might betray.]
As Kang Han-na said, if I find out that I am also trapped here, I will doubt my skills, and if that doubt deepens, I will consider the angle of betrayal.
But actually, that too…
‘I said it on purpose.’
It was taken into account.
‘If something goes wrong, just go ahead and kill him. And rather, if they don’t betray even in such a situation, it proves that they are useful guys.’
Anyway, killing two guys is as easy as lifting a spoon.
The reason I kept them alive was to prepare for an unexpected situation.
If you don’t like it after using it, just go ahead and kill it.
[But…]
After reassuring Kang Han-na, I spoke to the two survivors.
“Okay then, take the lead.”
“Yes, yes!”
“Oh, I understand!”
It was the moment when I followed the two people and looked around the workshop.
Cheeeeek!
“Huh?”
Suddenly, a mechanical arm came out from a device on one side of the workshop, picked up the two guys I had killed earlier, and took them away.
Then he put it in the machine…
Cheeeeek! Quad deuk! Quad deuk!
The body was torn apart and started to be assembled.
The two surviving guys who saw that…
“Wow!”
“Ugh!”
Vomit started pouring out in one corner of the workshop.
It’s so dirty…
From now on, your names will be Vomiting Man 1 and Vomiting Man 2.
I limped along and continued to observe what was happening inside the machine.
The result of tearing, kneading, and assembling a dead body is…
Cheeeeek!
They were parts of a doll.
This makes it clear.
‘It’s a doll made from a corpse…’
It was true that Ryosuke’s doll was made from a corpse.
I shouted at the people who were vomiting while looking at the doll made like that.
“If you’re all done throwing up, quickly take the lead.”
“Ugh… Yes.”
That’s how I started wandering around the workshop in earnest.
The workshop itself was cleaner than expected.
For a place that makes dolls using corpses, it was very clean.
No… On the contrary, it felt like the people walking around this workshop had poorer hygiene.
We were walking around the workshop in poor hygiene…
Cheeeeek! Quad deuk!
“Huh?”
I was able to discover a machine that had just started working.
Inside the machine…
“Well, that guy… !”
“…”
One of the gang members who had run away screaming when he saw me was turning into a doll.
Vomiting Man 1, who saw that, whispered to Vomiting Man 2 next to him.
“What? Are they even going to catch the living one?”
“Or they died fighting each other while running away…”
“You suddenly got into a fight while you were running away?”
“They are worthy guys. Because they say they will live with each other first.”
“Oh, I guess so…”
The two guys who were whispering looked at me and started moving again.
On the way…
Cheeeeek! Quad deuk! Quad deuk!
“… Again.”
I was able to witness the process of another colleague becoming a doll.
And not long after…
Cheeeeek! Quad deuk! Quad deuk!
“…”
I witnessed the process of another colleague becoming a doll.
These guys aren’t stupid either, so they must have figured out the situation quickly.
‘It looks like they are attacking the fleeing guys and eliminating them one by one…’
The problem was that I didn’t know how to fight.
‘Your skills don’t look that good…’
The conclusion I can come to is that it is a volume war.
‘The fact that they keep making dolls like this means that there are quite a few dolls hidden…’
The problem was that I kept seeing unfinished dolls, but I never saw a finished doll.
All the dolls placed on these numerous tables were missing one or two parts.
‘Can’t you make a complete doll with just one corpse? Or are you combining it in your own way?’
I moved on with that assumption.
As I moved like that…
Grumble!
Suddenly, I heard the empty gospel…
“… “I’m sorry!”
“…”
Vomiting Man 1 hastily apologized.
For your information, it wasn’t only Vomiting Man 1 who apologized.
“S-sorry…”
“…”
Both of them broke the gospel at the same time.
I looked at him pitifully, wondering if he was hungry even in this situation.
However, I decided that there was nothing I could do about the physiological phenomenon and said with a sigh.
“Let’s fill our bellies first.”
“Thank you!”
I wasn’t hungry, but I decided it wouldn’t be a bad idea to eat some when I had some free time.
It was the moment when I took out a snack from my inventory and tried to eat it.
“What is this!”
“?”
A vomiting person who suddenly shouts 1.
I checked on the guy who shouted without taking out the snack.
In his hand was food that had rotted to the point where its shape was difficult to recognize.
And the vomiting guy next to me…
“W-what! Why suddenly… !”
They were holding similar types of food.
I wondered if I had put rotten food in my inventory…
“… “It’s not good to fill your stomach.”
The chocolate bar I took out, like the food they were holding, rotted instantly as soon as I took it out.
After that, I tried other foods, but it was the same.
Even the worst case scenario is…
“What, water!?”
Even the bottled water evaporated instantly as soon as I took it out.
Beyond not being able to use consumables, is it also impossible to consume food and water?
‘It really is like hell.’
I wasn’t hungry right away, so it didn’t really affect me.
But unlike me…
“I’m hungry, I’m hungry, I’m thirsty…”
“Plus, I feel sleepy… As it is…”
“…”
Those guys made a fuss as if they had truly stepped into hell.
‘Someone would think I spent a few days in the desert.’
It was a moment when I was wondering if I should hit them one by one to make them come to their senses.
[It seems like they really feel that way right now.]
‘Huh?’
[There has been a change in their temperament window.]
=====
[Thirst (small)], [Hunger (small)], [Fatigue (small)]
=====
Both had the same temperament.
I thought I was just thirsty, hungry, and sleepy…
[The numbers are rising in real time. I don’t think I can survive even a day like this.]
‘Her…’
It wasn’t just a problem caused by nervousness.
[It is probably influenced by this place.]
It was a depuff produced by this workshop.
I tilted my head and asked.
‘Am I okay?’
[This is probably because Suho has the [Immunity to abnormal status] Temperament.]
‘Oh, oh…’
[Immunity to abnormal conditions] That the child who saved during the Everyka terrorist attack had.
It seemed like a good skill, so I learned it, and thanks to that, I didn’t get caught.
‘Wow, it’s a good thing I learned it.’
[That’s good, but what are they going to do?]
The potters were shaking, feeling hungry, hungry, and tired at the same time.
I sighed looking at those guys.
‘I decided to take you with me anyway…’
I sighed and cast [Remove Status Abnormality] On the two guys.
As soon as the debuff goes away, the two guys…
“Oh! “Gwae, are you feeling better?”
“Me too!”
They made a fuss and were happy…
“S-No way… ?”
I started to notice myself.
I gestured, avoiding the gazes of the two guys.
“If it’s resolved, move quickly.”
“Yes! Okay!”
The two guys, who had regained their vitality, moved as if running, and I followed behind them and continued to look around.
