Chapter 792 – 792. Those Who Could Be Together Forever
The ark became empty.
It wasn’t a very large number. 651 people. Number of people on the ark when I organized the world.
It wasn’t such a huge world like SG City. Just a handful of humans.
A place where I, who am terrible at memorizing names, wrote down everyone’s names so that I could remember them.
And there is no such ark anymore.
The ark, which has seen many events, is now slowly fading as it is hit by the waves of time.
Coins became soul beads a long time ago.
Actually, I didn’t plan on doing this. It just so happened that it happened like that.
They lived while maintaining their beauty while undergoing a regression.
I could eat whatever I wanted, go wherever I wanted, do whatever I wanted, and enjoy everything I wanted.
There were no problems for the first 15 years.
And again, there was some noise in the next 10 years, but it wasn’t bad.
But after that, creaking began to become visible.
The girls, who seemed to have no shortcomings, became sensitive and picky.
I became increasingly unmotivated and irritated.
If you say there were no factions, that’s not true. Yes, there was. That can’t be helped.
Because there’s nothing I can do about it.
It’s a women’s ecosystem. It’s not my job to get involved.
It never surfaced or became a problem, so I just left it alone.
However, as they became more and more sharp, fights between factions became more frequent.
It’s gotten so bad that I feel it’s a little too late to intervene.
Of course… If I had actively intervened at that time, the situation might have been better.
But I didn’t do that. Does it mean anything if I forcibly suture it?
Will they still collide in places I’m not looking at?
That’s why I left it. It was like that on Wake Island, and it was like that on the Ark.
I chose to sit on the sidelines rather than actively intervene, and the emotional gulf between the factions became even worse.
In the end, when that pitiful emotional battle prevented me from properly carrying out the main premise of providing coins to me and holding them when I wanted, I resolutely turned them into soul beads.
I don’t kill them because I don’t know when or what will happen.
I just put a soul seal on the soul, took care of it, and stored it away.
That’s why they sleep forever.
No. After all, those who have become beads will not even feel the current gap.
Well, since the soul was extracted while in the most happy state, I don’t think they would have any complaints either. There is no way to complain.
And now that all the people on the ark are gone… There is no need for them anymore.
A soul bead with thirty seals on it.
I broke them one by one.
This would be better than returning them to their bodies and then killing them.
It may be a little cruel, but… They won’t have any major complaints either.
What… Even if you are dissatisfied, there is nothing you can do. Because their souls have already left.
Lena and Ga-in.
Those foolish women.
They are stupid, stone-headed women. Pathetic and frustrating little bitches.
The two committed suicide. Ridiculous idiots. Ugh.
Was it a mistake for me not to pay much attention to them because we were so close to each other and doing whatever we wanted?
Their treatment was better than that of Coins.
These are women who have suffered a lot and helped me a lot, right?
That’s why I treated them well.
I accepted a fair amount of whining and did everything I wanted.
So I never thought I would do something like that.
Their will is even more spectacular.
The house where Lena and Ga-in mainly stayed. A letter and a coin pouch were left there.
The letter contained only one simple sentence.
‘Lena♡Gain embark on an eternal journey together into the endless world of nothingness.’
Crazy bitches. Why are you going on that trip already? I’ll figure it out later when the time comes.
Foolish bitches who don’t even know that life is good even if you roll in a dog poop. Ugh.
Ah. Don’t you know that proverb because you’re a Japanese woman and a Hong Kong woman?
Aren’t there similar proverbs in Japan and Hong Kong?
I really hated seeing them, but I watched their final moments by reading object memories.
Two women sitting close together, smiling and writing a letter.
It’s like they’re playing a prank. A hidden camera or something like that.
However, after writing the letter and placing it neatly on the table, they opened the storage box on the floor.
And the two kiss each other.
Two people who kiss and throw their bodies at each other without worrying about who goes first.
As Lena and Ga-in disappeared into the storage, the storage closed on its own.
And a coin pocket appeared in its place.
That was the end for them. No. Is this just the beginning?
You two said you were going on a trip, right? Then this won’t be the end. It can be a new beginning.
I still don’t know where the soul goes. So I can’t say for certain.
Okay. You stupid women. I hope your travels will be filled with good luck.
I hope that the journey you embark on is not a despair filled with nothingness.
I hope you get something there too. It would be better if I could be happy forever.
Soyeon Jeong, who lived in SG City. She also died.
She was so obedient that she became increasingly obsessed with me.
I was the only one who survived in her world, and perhaps that was why she became increasingly deluded.
She was a woman who thought that the only people left in the world were me and her.
She was a Christian and thought of herself as Eve. I am Adam.
Perhaps that’s why she survived well.
But the delusions got worse, and I found it difficult to deal with them.
So she wrote sleep.
She fell asleep and had the dream she wanted.
The desired dreams that enhanced, unavoidable sleep brings. She must have really dreamed that she was Eve there.
And when she thinks she has had enough of her dreams, she swallows her body.
That’s how she died too. SG City has finally become a city without people.
And Shinyoung. Choi Shin-young. A sad woman.
She spent quite a bit of time with her.
Thanks to her skills, the dogs she raised, Hayang, Gureum, and Tofu lived longer than expected.
About 60 years.
At that level, I think they are almost at the level of spiritual creatures for dogs.
Perhaps thanks to that, Shinyoung continued to maintain her bright appearance.
Dogs who are almost like children. A daily life that is not boring.
Her three dogs have been her pillars and support.
But… There is a disease that cannot be cured even with skills.
A mental illness, not a physical illness.
I guess 60 years was too long for the dogs’ souls.
Although there was no physical problem, the dogs suffered from mental illness.
I think it’s probably dementia.
Even this omnipotent skill could not do anything about that cursed disease, and the dogs became unable to live a normal life one after another.
Cloud, Tofu, and Hayang left Shinyoung’s side in that order.
Shinyoung used her own hands to comfort the dogs that she had loved and lived with for a long time.
She cried. In all this time, she has never cried.
In that way, her dogs broke her hard heart, and she passed away.
Naughty guys. Bad guys. Why are you leaving so early? Ugh.
Shinyoung became noticeably depressed after being separated from her dogs.
And one day, when I went to visit, Shinyoung said to me.
“Make me my original age. And don’t come back again.”
Her words are tantamount to declaring that she is giving up on life.
I got angry. Since her relationship with her improved, she has never been angry with me.
Still, I couldn’t say, ‘I’m willing to give up my life just for a dog!’
Because Hayang, Gureum, and Tofu did a lot for Shinyoung.
I can’t say it’s just that. They did their best.
“No matter what you say, I won’t do that.”
Shinyoung glares at me at my firm words.
It’s been a long time since I’ve seen such a cruel expression. I’ve never had anything like this before.
She opens her mouth as if she has made up her mind.
Killing her own brother and killing everyone in her Daeho bunker.
What I did to her. What she experienced
Shinyoung brings up those things with a lot of effort.
Her appearance is scary. She’s not, she’s trying to look scary.
The sight of things that had been sealed well and hidden deep in the memory, being rescued and scattered openly.
I am… I knew it.
That they did that on purpose. They’re doing this on purpose to hurt me.
There is no real intention in her eyes, right?
Even as she speaks, she seems to be suffering more.
I was sad. She could understand her.
But I felt my limits. I realized that I couldn’t convince her.
That she has no choice but to do what she wants.
I know that she and I don’t mean it to each other, and I also know that we won’t be fooled.
But I do it. A cheap play.
Even her little child loses her interest and acts to the point where she turns away and does whatever she wants.
Her once beautiful appearance turns into a wizened old woman.
She became so weak that it was difficult to control her own body.
Her hair turned white, and her skin became wrinkled.
But only her eyes are alive. Clear eyes that are not cloudy.
After getting what she wanted, she looks at me and speaks cruelly.
“Go.”
I left the Suwon bunker.
No… I pretended to leave. Because this is acting. It’s a cheap act that does what she wants.
And I watch her from a little distance. That’s all I can do.
The days I watch like that.
Shinyoung now sits all day in the real sunlight, not in an artificial garden.
It’s not much different from sitting quietly and basking in the lights of an artificial garden.
Familiar scenes, familiar appearances.
Shinyoung was trapped in her own world again.
Forced to bring out all of her hatred and anger, she is once again consumed by herself and burrows inside herself.
But… It’s different from back then.
Even though she stayed still like that, she often laughed.
Long time. I loved her with all my heart because of her sins.
We had a lot to laugh about during our hour together, right?
That’s why Shinyoung is no longer as depressed as she used to be.
She sits quietly alone, laughing and crying, as if ruminating on her own life.
I also watch her and reminisce about her past. When she laughs, I laugh, and when she cries, I cry too.
Even though we are not right next to each other, I think our hearts are connected.
I hope she feels that way too.
As she becomes an old woman, she quickly declines.
She didn’t last very long. The human body ages slowly.
The poison of time is so strong that you have to take it slowly, little by little, right?
That’s why she can’t easily handle it all at once, having had to eat it for decades.
Dying Shinyoung.
Even when she recalled the past, she fell down several times.
Every time that happened, I picked her up, laid her down in her room, and then left again.
Shinyoung opens her eyes and realizes that she is lying in her bed.
It almost seems like her only mission is to bask in the sun.
She repeated that several more times.
In the end, she couldn’t get her body up even after opening her eyes.
I sensed that the time had come and went to her side.
When I appear, Shinyoung quietly turns her eyes to look at me and opens her mouth with difficulty.
“It wasn’t my true intention.”
Her eyes deepened.
Tears welling up in the eyes, flowing down the corners of the eyes and wetting the pillow.
“I know.”
At my words she closed her eyes once. It took off.
The tears flowed more and Shinyoung’s body trembled slightly.
“I’m sorry for speaking so harshly.”
“I know you don’t mean it. Don’t worry.”
At the same time, he holds Shinyoung’s hand.
Hands like bare tree branches. I want to write about her condition again
I want to commit the crime no matter what Shinyoung says.
But I knew it was late. I don’t think she will get better if I do that now.
“I feel resentful.”
The words that came out of her mouth. The word of resentment felt like it was tearing at her heart.
I flinch without realizing it. Those words that came out of her mouth were so fatal to me.
“You and this world that made me meet like this…”
And that wasn’t said to me.
She is… He didn’t blame me.
It was me who was at fault, but she couldn’t bear to blame me, so she ended up blaming the world.
After leaving those words, Shinyoung became a light.
I try to reach out and catch the light, but her debt just slips through my fingers.
Her empty seat… It’s particularly big. It felt like there was a hole in her heart.
Suwon Bunker lost its owner again.
There is only a lonely feeling.
For the past few decades, this place has been filled with dogs running around and Shinyoung’s laughter.
I quickly got up from my seat and moved.
A switchboard that manages all power supplies in the bunker. When I got there, I opened the door and turned off the main breaker.
Click.
All the lights in the bunker went out.
The artificial garden lights that always illuminated the interior turned off, and the inside of the bunker became pitch black.
“Local information.”
Let’s use our skills. A message appears.
[Earth. 8 people.]
At last… It happened like this. There are only eight people left in the world.
Me, Seunghee, Mina, SeAh, Anna, Minhee, Haruka, Aki.
I want to use Ascension right now, but not yet.
These are the guys who made the world like this. You guys will have to wait and see.
Because I won’t let you achieve what you want so easily.
