Chapter 216 – Chapter 216. Rune Clan (3)
Once we got out of the nursery school.
Because I can’t work at an orphanage.
“I need a quiet place, do you know?”
“Follow me. There is a hideout of my Korean branch.”
I escaped to the suburbs, surrounded by the barrier of Rebecca’s runes.
On the way, I continued to observe the rune’s barrier, but my barrier was still the same.
‘Why can’t I analyze it?’
Unlike other magic, Rebecca’s rune’s barrier was not analyzed.
To be precise, it should be said that even if you analyze and run it as it is, the same result will not come out.
I don’t know what the principle is, but there seems to be something huge.
“Come to think of it, what will Suhyeon do?”
A survivor of the Rune Clan.
Chun Soo-hyeon at Sunshine Orphanage will live a normal life if left alone.
“I have to bring him. Even if he is not educated, he is a member of the Rune family. After making friends slowly, I will adopt him. Then… I want to make him a member of the Rune family.”
In Rebecca’s words, I felt real affection for the Rune clan.
The word education caught my attention.
“What is that education? Is it a special education only for the Rune clan?”
Perhaps that special rune’s barrier is also part of that education.
“Well, to put it simply, you live within the barrier of the rune from a young age. There is a special training method of the rune clan that forcibly makes one’s magical properties the same as the barrier of the rune.”
“Five….”
“If you continue to focus on the rune’s barrier for several years, the magic circuit will change completely. Then, from then on, you will truly become a member of the rune’s clan.”
Then the barrier of the rune I used was only half.
It was somehow easily pierced.
“Come inside.”
Rebecca entered a bleak building on the corner of the city.
After passing through a dark passageway where bats seemed likely to come out, a fairly bright living space appeared.
“This room has a bed and a bathroom. Come with me.”
Rebecca took off her coat and tried to enter her room.
I plan on doing it right now.
“Wait a minute, Rebecca. Hold on.”
“…Wasn’t he helping to make children?”
Rebecca gave me a disappointed look as I grabbed her coat.
“Before that, there’s something I need to check. Go into the room first.”
Rebecca frowned, slightly frightened, but she somehow led them inside the room.
She seated Rebecca at a table in a room that looked like a witch’s lab, and she took me across the table.
“Um… First of all, Rebecca was affiliated with Pandemic, right? Because of that, there’s something I need to check.”
“…But I didn’t kill anyone.”
Rebecca seemed a little nervous.
She didn’t mean to ask if she killed anyone.
“It’s not like that. Maestro, the boss of Pandemic, has brainwashing magic. We need to check if Rebecca is also brainwashed.”
This is the reason I didn’t accept Rebecca right away.
Maestro’s mind control.
I cannot trust anyone who is not someone who can be on my side with certainty.
After hearing my words, Rebecca smiled as if she was relieved.
“Aha, what am I saying again. Don’t worry. I know the Maestro’s mind control.”
“Yes? Really?”
Do you know mind control?
“Yeah. Every time I meet Maestro, I activate the rune’s barrier. So that’s no problem.”
“… Maestro’s magic is quite strong. Even Rebecca doesn’t know.”
“The barrier of my rune is also strong. I can block it perfectly. Maestro doesn’t even notice that I’m not brainwashed.”
“…”
Looking at Rebecca’s self-confident look, I tilted my head slightly.
Because it was different from what I knew.
‘I’m sure Rebecca must have been heavily brainwashed.’
In the original story, Rebecca is clearly under the maestro’s mind control.
Because right before he dies, there is a scene where the brainwashing is done.
Of course, the current Rebecca would not know that fact, so she turned around and said it.
But being confident like that is a bit confusing.
‘Has it been brainwashed yet?’
It’s common for maestros to brainwash her on their first meeting, so that’s unlikely.
Then, I remembered what Rebecca just said.
‘I’ve never killed anyone.’
“Rebecca. You’ve never been on a mission to kill people?”
“Yeah. Of course. I’m only providing the bare minimum. In exchange for helping Pandemic get behind the Rune clan.”
“…”
Rebecca said so….
‘No.’
It can’t be.
It’s because there was definitely a barrier of Rebecca’s rune in the association’s social party terrorism.
Although Rebecca didn’t directly kill anyone, there were definitely victims that occurred at that time.
“…”
I checked Rebecca’s face.
It was a face without any shame.
“… Rebecca. Follow me.”
“Huh? Which one?”
“You just have to follow what I’m saying. Then… Take heart.”
“Do you have a firm mind? No, you haven’t been brainwashed.”
Right before she dies in her original story.
I remember the scene of regretting the past with tears in my eyes.
Rebecca, who was eventually subdued by the protagonist and the heroines, was brainwashed when she was about to die.
– From the beginning… That’s what it was. Ha… Why did I become like this?
Because he was a popular villain thanks to his good looks, the production team made the ending scene special.
– I didn’t want to kill anyone. I just… Just a clan…. Maestro….
Back then, I was in the position of playing the game, so I had no choice but to kill Rebecca, but now it’s different.
Rebecca seemed to be a little dissatisfied, but she followed my words obediently.
“Follow me.”
“Follow me as it is…”
“No, not that, from now on.”
“… I was just trying to lighten the mood. Don’t be angry.”
Ha.
Will this person know my heart?
I slowly recited the brainwashing words of the maestro I saw in the original.
When the maestro speaks, brainwashing begins, but when another person speaks, intense pain comes and a trigger is triggered to return the memory of the brainwashing.
After discovering this, Pandemic’s attack became easier.
“…To Arma Maestro.”
“To Arma Maestro.”
Rebecca’s condition after the brainwashing did not look bad.
Could it be that you really weren’t brainwashed?
“… It’s okay?”
“Yeah, what is this? Of course it’s okay… Huh?”
Dump-
Rebecca’s strength drained from her body and she rolled off the chair she was sitting in.
“Mr. Rebecca?!”
“Now, wait… My, why am I? Why… Oops, Oops.
“…”
I averted my eyes while watching Rebecca regurgitate everything inside.
He gets a severe headache because of the rushing memories, and he remembers everything, even the crimes he committed.
It’s rude to watch that.
“Oops, oops… Cough. Cough.”
“Clean.”
When Rebecca’s condition got a little better.
With my signal, I passed through the cleaned floor and approached Rebecca.
“Rebecca, are you okay?”
“… I thought I blocked it.”
With her face drained of color, Rebecca murmured.
“That’s the scary thing about the maestro. There shouldn’t be any gaps. For now, let’s find a way to clear her brainwashing with me.”
This trigger can be simply determined whether brainwashed or not.
To solve the brainwashing, another complicated method is needed.
“No. Okay, it’s okay.”
Whoa.
Taking a deep breath, Rebecca closed her eyes and roused her spell.
Soon, Rebecca’s magical energy gathered near her heart.
It was so small that you couldn’t even see it properly.
The magical energy that had been constantly gathering in a very small dot began to expand at some point.
The magical powers that passed through her body without a break turned into spheres outside Rebecca’s body, and black magical powers were attached to the sphere of her magical powers surrounding her body.
That eerie magic.
I was able to figure out its identity right away.
“I hope that’s…”
“Maestro’s magical power. I don’t know when it penetrated my body, but… As long as I realized it, I can pull it out with the rune’s barrier.”
Rebecca, who had gathered black magical powers in the air, compressed her magical powers with a squealing sound.
Fondant-
And when I put it into the beaker next to her, her mana slowly disappeared.
“…Ha ha.
“No.”
Suddenly, I became a mother.
“That, and… It wasn’t true. That I didn’t kill people. I’m sorry I lied to you.”
“… It’s okay.”
In fact, it’s morally, no, legally problematic, but… Because I’m not living a straight life either.
Just as I had to attack the heroines, Rebecca had to find the rune’s clan.
It was as precious to her as her life.
But the fortunate thing is that this brainwashing was cut off beforehand.
In the second half of the original story, Rebecca is a terrifying villain who kills people without hesitation.
Unleashing it before it was yet so deeply brainwashed is certainly encouraging.
“Don’t be too heartbroken. It’s not Rebecca’s fault.”
“But… Ha. What should I do?”
Rebecca says she still can’t believe what she did.
‘As expected, he’s a kind-hearted person.’
As soon as they know that I am not from Rune’s clan, they don’t try to force it… It seems right to be a good person.
‘I’m glad I met you sooner rather than later.’
Had she met after doing something worse, recovery from her guilt over what she had done on her own might have been impossible.
“I’ll go with you later, even if it’s a volunteer activity. Or I’ll introduce you to a good counselor. The important thing is the revival of the Rune clan. Isn’t it?”
“… Yes.”
Although she looks like a decadent witch, she is the reason Rebecca, who is gentle on the inside, entered an evil group called Pandemic.
It is the revival of the Rune clan.
Rebecca’s eyes widened, as if surprised that the words “Revival of the Rune Clan” Came out of her mouth.
“Then… Are you going to do it right away?
“That’s nice too… But I want a proper revival of the Rune clan. Rebecca does too, right?”
“Of course. I can risk my life.”
“Then, please tell me about the barrier of the runes.”
“The barrier of runes? What does that have to do with it?”
“Because. The higher the barrier level of my rune, the higher the child will be born with that talent, right?”
Of course, I don’t know if it will or not.
But it’s better than not doing it.
Besides, it’s also a good thing that my rune’s barrier skills increase.
“…Is that so? But having at least one child quickly….”
“No. Then, what if there is a child who can’t properly use the rune’s barrier? I don’t want that situation to happen.”
“That’s… Ha. Okay, I’ll do as you say.”
Rebecca didn’t like it, but after seeing my gaze, she finally nodded her head.
I donate the sperm, so what… What can I do
