Episode 303 [ Maria’s Story (2) ]
As she jumped inside, the people who were cheering turned their heads and looked at her.
“Gasp!”
The researchers who saw her screamed.
Maria was soaked in blood.
Her hair was matted with blood and her red-turned clothes were dripping with blood.
Half of it was from the people she killed, and the other half was from the people she killed. It was bleeding.
The researchers were screaming, but Maria didn’t see them.
The first thing she did was look for her son. She
found him quickly.
There was a child inside the laboratory.
The child was floating in the air, engulfed in black smoke.
The child . A pattern was shining on the child’s arm, and the child was shrouded in black smoke and screaming silently,
“Stop, stop! It’s almost done! It’ll be a little while before you can wake up!”
She could hear the person in charge talking next to her, but she ran towards the child.
The child was in pain. He was awake, and he had to stop immediately.
Even in the midst of her confusion, she looked at the pattern drawn on the child’s arm and the equipment connected to the pattern. Maria was able to figure out.
Maria threw the dagger at the machine sending mana.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
The dagger loaded with mana exploded the equipment, and the pattern drawn on the child’s arm lost its light.
Black smoke dispersed and the child fell to the floor. He fell.
Tak.
Maria picked up the falling child.
“My baby. Our baby. Are you okay?”
She held the child in her arms and kept stroking it:
“Mommy! It hurts so much! It hurts so much!”
The child, who was out of breath, burst into tears in her arms:
“It’s okay. Mom is here. It’s okay.”
She continued to soothe the crying child. Little by little, the child’s crying subsided.
But on the other hand, there was someone pulling his or her head.
Dr. Ha pointed at her and shouted,
“It’s almost done! We just need to do a little more! Dimensional shift “I could have gotten my hands on the ruler! You ruined it all!”
Maria raised her head and looked at Dr. Ha.
“You still say that after being forced to wake up?”
Forced awakening.
It was an awakening method that had a very small chance of success, and if it failed, it would result in death, and even if it succeeded, it would leave a major disability. They
used the awakening method, which had previously been discarded because the risks and side effects were so great, on her son.
“After giving birth to this child, I started to sleep regularly. “I kept my promise by just getting tested. But are you trying to kill my child?”
“Ha. If we had time, we would have waited until he awakens. But today and tomorrow are all ruined, so there’s no way!”
Maria bit her lip at Dr. Ha’s words.
They had no intention of keeping their promise from the beginning.
What they said about watching the child’s growth was a lie.
The company considered her son to be their property. No matter when, the child would be born. The plan was to wake her up and use her.
It was a company she joined in return for treating her child who was dying from the same disease as her husband. Her
life did not last long, but thanks to the company, her husband and child were able to stay with her for another year.
Company There was only one price she asked for:
to have a child from someone the company designated when the company requested it.
The company wanted her cursed trait of killing her first child.
Her husband and child died, and time passed.
Ordinary security work . While she was spending time doing this, he appeared in front of her.
The strongest awakened person that the company wanted. A dimension-shifting awakened person had appeared.
There were many events that followed, but in the end, she ended up having the child that the company wanted.
No, she had the child that she wanted. Even though
she was glaring at him, Dr. Ha didn’t stop talking.
“Your child? He doesn’t have any of your blood genetically, so why is this your child? You’re just a surrogate mother.”
In response to Dr. Ha’s accusation, she hugged the child tightly. No matter what, this child was mine.
“Why are you nicknamed Maria? It’s because of your characteristics that create a son of God.”
As she hugged the child, Dr. Ha chattered excitedly,
“Your ability to create a child using only the DNA of the man you slept with. It’s called that because of your trait of creating an exact copy of the father.”
He shouted, pointing to the child in his arms.
“The child in your arms is ultimately just a clone of the dimension-shifting awakened person!”
The child in her arms trembled.
She comforted him.
“It’s okay. It’s all a lie. Close your eyes for a moment. It will be okay in a little while.”
When she raised her head again, Dr. Ha flinched back.
It seemed like she had come to her senses only then. Even though she was injured and soaked in blood, Maria was an awakened person.
An ordinary person without a weapon was not one to do anything to.
Dr. Ha took a step back. He shouted loudly,
“I am the director of this research institute! If you mess with me, the company will not stand still!”
Maria burst out laughing at his words.
Anyway, she had seen a lot of blood on the way here. Adding a few more people wouldn’t have changed anything.
And she didn’t have to do anything herself.
Boom! Quang!
An explosion was heard from afar.
Quaaaaang. ! Argh!
People’s screams and monsters’ cries were also heard.
The researchers couldn’t hear the sound yet, but a broadcast mixed with screams informed them of the situation.
Weeeeeee!
An alarm went off and
[A monster has invaded the building! The guards and awakeners Please stop the monsters and the researchers move to the shelter. Once again… Oh no! Go away! Kwaaaaaaaa!] The
broadcast ended with a scream.
“This is ridiculous! There’s no way they’re coming already! “You have to fight on the front lines for a long time!”
One researcher, terrified, ignored reality, but the fact that a monster had entered the building did not change.
“You have to run away!”
“If you’ve come this far, Seoul is over!”
“Let’s go together!”
The researchers who were watching Maria and Dr. Ha began to run away.
When Maria did not move, they pushed each other back and ran out the door.
Dr. Ha also hesitated and started to run away.
Maria did not chase them. They would have run away anyway. She couldn’t do it.
Through the screams of the people and the monsters’ cries, she could tell where and how many monsters there were. There
were more than one or two monsters that came in.
This building only had one exit door due to security reasons, and the monsters blocked the exit passage. There was.
It was a rat monster above the elite level.
It was difficult to deal with with a guard gun, let alone an ordinary person. Although
she was an awakened person, she had no intention of fighting for them and was unable to fight.
Blood was continuously flowing. It could be treated with a potion. It wasn’t a wound.
Although the situation was hopeless, she smiled at the child.
Black smoke was still flowing around the child. The child’s awakening had not failed.
As long as he was awakened, at least the child could live.
Maria looked at the child’s face . She looked at her and wiped her tear-covered face with her clothes. As
she wiped her face, she saw the face of a child who did not resemble her. The child looked exactly like his father.
But this child was her son, whom she gave birth to and raised.
Maria looked straight at her child. The child was startled to see his mother covered in blood. It was pitiful to see him
crying again, but she held the child’s shoulders and said strongly,
“Son! You must come to your senses and listen carefully!”
The child held back his tears at his mother’s stern expression.
Although he was still a child, thanks to the harsh education he received, he was able to listen to her even in this situation.
Maria was filled with regret, but held back and asked the child a question.
“Can you feel a strange energy flowing through your body?”
The child nodded. It wasn’t a mistake after all.
“That strange energy is mana. Would you like to move it? There will be something telling you in your head. Just keep moving.”
The child followed his mother’s words without a doubt.
Black smoke began to gather.
The monsters’ cries were getting closer and closer. At first glance, it seemed like the researchers’ screams could be heard among the cries. A
black hole was created in the floor.
A bottomless hole.
It was a dimensional door.
The hole looked exactly like the one I had heard from people who had seen the dimensional door Kyung-hoon made.
The child looked at the hole he had made and looked back at his mother.
“Good job. Really good job.”
Maria smiled at the child.
Seeing the mother’s expression, the child also breathed a sigh of relief.
Maria’s expression hardened again.
“The black hole you just made is a dimensional door. It is the door to where dad lives.”
After the eruption of Mt. Baekdu, people considered all the awakened people who went missing that day to be dead.
The same was true for Gyeong-hoon, a dimensional shifter.
“Go into the door and run far away. You are going to the world where your father is.”
But Maria didn’t think Kyung-hoon was dead.
He was the world’s greatest awakener and one with the ability to move between dimensions.
There was no way he could have died that easily.
“You don’t have to worry. I’ll drink the potion and mom will follow right away.”
When the child looked worried, she immediately reassured him,
“Dad, you remember my name, right? It’s Kyung-hoon. Kyung-hoon. You must never forget it!”
The child nodded at her words.
She hugged him tightly.
“My beloved child. Never forget this too. This is your last request.”
She whispered in the child’s ear,
“The world is a scary place. You must repay those who are good to you.”
Her words seeped into the child’s mind:
“And repay those who hurt you a hundred times a thousand times. If they hurt you with words, you destroy their things. If they hurt you, cut off their arm.” .”
Although the words were full of sorrow, her words were firmly engraved deep in the child’s heart. The
monster’s footsteps came closer and closer.
Maria kissed the child’s head and pushed the child into the hole.
Splash.
The surprised child held out his hand. She stretched out, but the child fell into the hole.
She saw him off with a smile.
“You must survive. Mommy will always love you.”
The child disappeared into the hole, and the black hole turned into smoke and dispersed. When
the hole disappeared, Maria got up from her seat. The child could have come here again.
The monsters had to be lured somewhere else.
Slurp, slurp.
She bled. She ran out of the room with her bleeding body.
A monster’s screams were heard in the hallway.
Four stars, the logo of SG Electronics, the owner of this laboratory, fell on the blood she shed.
