Genius Archer’s Streaming Season 1 Side Story Episode 11
3. The Secret of the Secret (5)
Even though I didn’t know what the blue hole was right away, it was clear that it was related to the secret ( ).
Achieving 1 star is the basic clear condition for this game, so it must be performed unconditionally. Even if you meet the 2-star conditions, it is of no use if you cannot meet the 1-star condition.
“The house where Sally originally lived. “Do you know where it is?”
“yes…? “Of course…”
“Guide me right away.”
“But… it’s too dangerous there!”
Of course, there will be people who are Holy Executors or something and will be watching closely.
Ran was stubborn and said she should never go.
“No, just go for now. “I will take care of everything.”
Of course, Almond was confident that he wouldn’t die, but that was Almond’s idea.
Ran wasn’t like that at all.
“What… you don’t know the Holy Executors very well. Don’t think that just because you get rid of one dahlia, the rest will be fine too! “If you are attacked, both mice and birds will die without you knowing!”
“no. therefore. “If you go with me, it won’t happen…”
We argued about this for a while. Ran was stubborn.
-Hahaha, do you think everyone will think the same way as you, Almond?
-Nut Shack hahaha. Just because he fights well, he gets angry for telling me to just go.
-If Almond goes,
it will really work out. -Why are you fighting with the NPC? Hahaha.
-Can you convince him? Haha.
It seems like it’s already been planned to prevent going back. Almond thought about leaving Ran here and going alone.
Ran doesn’t know where Sally’s house is and something might happen to her while she goes there alone.
What’s more, the problem is that this guy called Lete sometimes takes control of his body again.
If you’re going along well and lose control of your body, it’s over.
“ha. okay. Then…”
How should we overcome this situation? Almond stroked his chin and pondered.
-What are you thinking about?
-The walnuts are overworked today haha
-???: Oh, I turned on the broadcast for no reason (touching my chin)
“Ah….”
Okay.
Almond clapped as if he had a good idea.
“Is there a university nearby?”
If you knew Sally’s father’s name, you could go to another university’s library and read the papers he wrote.
* * *
“We’re almost there.”
Ran says as we go over the gentle hill.
Of course, I already knew about Almond without having to say it.
Boom.
[Klaus University]
This is because a message appeared saying that the location has been passed.
“I’m not sure if they’ll let me use the library.”
“Let’s go first.”
-No way. University… there’s a dungeon there too… it’s called the graduate school lab.
-Wow, there is a CC here too. Let’s seduce pure white people haha
– the university is pretty ㅠㅠㅠ
Perhaps it’s time for the lecture to end, but a noisy crowd comes rushing down the hill.
Numerous men and women were pairing up and talking happily.
Ran stared at that figure, then quickly turned his gaze back to the hill.
“I think that’s the library.”
It is a three-story building built on four sturdy stone pillars.
“…There doesn’t seem to be anyone guarding it in particular.”
There was no one guarding the entrance. As soon as I entered, I found myself in the library lobby.
It was an open structure with bright light streaming in from the ceiling.
There was a librarian sitting at the end of the lobby.
“hello. This is the Klaus Library. “Your name and major… huh?”
The librarian adjusted his glasses and tilted his head.
“What are these kids doing here?”
Ran and Almond are currently middle school students. Even at first glance, it is clear that he is not a student here.
“I… wanted to go on a field trip. I came to play!”
“…?”
The librarian looks at Almond and Ran alternately with a troubled look on his face.
“Uhm… Of course, there is no advance reservation…”
Almond poked Ran’s side and forced him to smile.
Seeing Ran’s bright smile, the librarian readily accepted.
“They’re cute kids. good.”
Squeak.
Open the closed door next to you.
-Is it a face after all?!
-Nut Shack… You’ve become so good at solving problems with your face lol
-Ran only learns bad things from nuts!
The librarian said “Wow” and grabbed the back of the neck of the two people who were about to pass by.
“Instead, if you make a fuss, they’ll kick you out right away? “Of course you can’t take books with you.”
“yes!”
“Shh!”
“Ah yes.”
* * *
Sarah. Sarah.
A library where there is no sound other than the sound of paper turning.
Ran and Almond walked carefully and found the place where the papers were stored.
“It’s here.”
Almond muttered quietly and nudged Ran.
“ah.”
“Look up Sally’s father’s name. hurry.”
“yes.”
Lan knew Sally’s name exactly because he had approached her since she was attending her father’s funeral.
There was no way she could forget that tombstone that she stared at blankly every day.
“G… G is….”
While tracing the initials, I was looking for a paper written by Sally’s father.
“It’s like this.”
Ran picked up two papers.
Because it was a collection of papers, it was not that thick. In fact, it is much thinner than most weekly magazines.
Of course, that does not mean that the content is easy to understand.
“Now let’s just look for the blue hole here.”
The two handed each other a collection of papers and started flipping through them blindly.
It looks like it’s full of unknown words.
But it doesn’t matter.
Anyway, there is only one word they are looking for.
‘Blue hole… Blue hole…’
It was easy to find.
The table of contents clearly says ‘blue hole research’.
Almond read that part carefully.
If we were to exclude all the other nobles and pick out the important parts.
“…It was discovered that when taken, the stimulation of the hallucinogenic pleasure center was activated…”
“…During the white rat experiment, the rats were given to drink only milk containing blue holes, and at first they were much more energetic, but soon after. ..”
「…If you take it continuously for a long period of time, you will become prone to hallucinations even in daily life. It has become easier for hypnotists to create the desired hallucinations. We called this state a ‘trance state’…”
In short, it is a drug.
Why was Sally’s father researching these drugs? And why… was he killed?
“Ran. Look at this.”
Almond showed Ran what he was looking for and gave a rough explanation.
I had a hard time because there were terms that were difficult for Ran to understand.
“Something like poppies?”
“okay.”
I seemed to understand, saying something vaguely similar.
“But I think it’s much worse.”
Almond shows the sentence near the last paragraph.
“A person who enters this trance state will never be able to quit Blue Hole.”
This is a clear example of the addictive nature of Blue Hole. It is not very common for scholars to use the word ‘absolutely.’
Whether or not you can even quit taking medication is a matter that has many variables.
This thesis said that it cannot be definitively discontinued.
“But why… did they try to stop this research?”
“Are you trying to stop me?”
“okay. From what I saw, the church killed Sally’s father to prevent him from doing this research.”
“…!?”
Ran looked somewhat shocked.
“Do you think it was a coincidence? “Your father was killed right before you were deployed?”
“Then why would you just kill Sally in the same way?…”
“Well. I killed my father when I saw it, but didn’t I find out anything in the process? So, just in case the daughter knows anything, she added you. “I wanted to see what you knew.”
-Walnut high-speed spin ㄷㄷ
-Wow
-Detective Gyeon Jeon-il;
Almond glances at the chat window and smiles in satisfaction. Even in my opinion, it seems like a pretty plausible reasoning.
“But… what do you mean?”
“huh?”
“You wanted to find out what and see what you know?”
“You don’t know that.”
Almond scratched his head and averted his gaze.
-LOL Kogan doesn’t know
-Then that’s right LOL -I
don’t know~ You tell me~
The cult killed Sally’s father to stop this drug research?
So why did they kill Sally?
Because Sally also knows about the drug research?
“Wouldn’t it have been one of the church’s activities to eradicate drugs?…”
Ran carefully guesses.
Well, you might think that way.
Ran, who had been brainwashed by the cult for his entire life when he was around middle school, might think so.
Almond, who is almost 30 years old and has experienced all kinds of social life, doesn’t think so.
“Probably not.”
“…Is that so? “Why?”
I couldn’t bear to say, “There is no way your church would do something so unproductive and altruistic.”
“Hmm…”
Almond looked through the papers to find more clues.
I’ve already read all of the Blue Hole research, but one of the topics of the paper submitted on another date is ‘trance state’.
If I hadn’t read blue hole research, I wouldn’t have thought this was related to blue holes.
Sarah. Sararak.
Almond quickly turned the page there.
After a while, his eyes widen.
‘This…?’
What I heard somewhere is written here.
“…In religious terms, there were places where it was expressed that ‘the vessel was opened.’ In other words, it is easy to contact…”
The bowl was opened.
No, contact has become easier.
“This… where did you see this?”
Almond shows this sentence to Ran.
“The contact… ah. You are talking about the state of accepting incarnation. To put it simply, these are beings called contractors. Don’t you know this? Aren’t you the Avatar and Lethe the contractor?”
what?
I’ve never thought about it that way? Almond is dumbfounded.
Lethe is the contractor. In short, the bowl is open.
So the setting was that Almond would come in as an incarnation.
‘So, a while ago, Ran said something embarrassing to me, like I was the incarnation of a shrine or something.’
I even said something about what kind of incarnation it is. Ran really thought that Almond was the incarnation.
“for a moment.”
Almond suddenly thought of something and squeezed Ran’s shoulder. Ran was so startled that her head stood on end. Almond didn’t care at all and was busy asking questions.
“Lethe… since when did you start to resemble a contractor?”
“This is after I was seriously injured the other day. It was life-threatening. Usually, children who open the heavenly gate like that——”
“No!”
Almond suddenly shouts.
Other students in the library give nervous looks.
What are those little kids making so much noise from earlier?
“I’m sorry…”
Almond apologized in a hushed voice, but his eyes were shining brightly, showing that he wasn’t sorry at all.
“It’s a potion. portion.”
He whispered into Ran’s ear.
“Potions are drugs.”
Tiring!
The sound of a notification ringing as if to agree that Almond’s guess was correct.
[Secret ( ) conditions cleared!]
All secrets have finally been revealed.
* * *
[Beginner Tip: Contractors can accept an Avatar into their body and use some of their power as their own. It is known that all contractees are purely chosen, but it is a mystery as to why and how they occur.]
