Chapter.6 In the name of glory (1)
***
Step by step. Step by step. Step by step.
A marble hallway without a single light. A neatly dressed man in a white suit was carrying a small lamp and crossing a hallway that could not be seen even an inch in front of him.
Step by step. Step by step.
Clack –
The man who stopped walking placed a new candle next to the numerous candles that had melted and flowed down, lit it, and then bowed his head deeply towards the girl who was sleeping in the small cage made of the candles.
“I’m home. “Collector: Collector.”
The girl, dressed in clothes that looked like a border between a patient gown and a dress, slowly opened her eyes at his words. Long eyelashes fluttered as if rejecting the surrounding light.
“W. “You’re late.”
“Shame on you.”
“You can reach anywhere in this dry world in an instant, but you actually have a hard time returning. “It’s such a strange thing.”
W only lowered his head deeper in response to the gentle reprimand from the girl who woke up.
As she stretched and yawned cutely, the numerous wires connected to her back moved together and made a clanking sound. In the eyes of W, who had been caring for her for a long time, her appearance seemed much more lively than usual.
“Are you happy?”
“is it so. “A lot of special dreams came to me.”
Sarak –
When she raised her hand, large screens began to appear one by one in the pitch black empty space.
A small shelter in the wasteland.
We sit around in it and say, ‘We’re rich now!’ Three men shouting and dancing with joy.
Area 43.
A sign saying ‘Woojin Urology’ was filled with bullet marks on the floor, and a group of people wearing black military uniforms filled the area around it. And in front of them was a man with almost half of his face covered in burns, smiling contentedly.
Dome.
An inspector wearing a sloppy hat is looking at the contents of a document with the words ‘Secret Level 2’ written in large letters, and at the steel-jawed man sketched in his notebook with serious eyes.
District 32.
An old woman with searingly blue eyes, shedding tears as she gave a passionate speech in front of numerous church members who had their eyes covered with thin cloth.
District 7.
thud. thud.
Beyond the thick fog with intermittent flashes of fluorescent light, the footsteps of a gigantic creature shaking the earth.
and. A man and a girl in white suits talking in a place where only candles and the lights of machinery flicker in a marble building where not a single light comes in.
W looked at all the screens. It was difficult for them to open their mouths in silence that was as heavy as their reality.
“The wind… is blowing.”
“yes. Without getting tired. also.”
As if in agreement with those words, a wind blew from somewhere and passed by them through the marble hallway.
The candle, which had been swaying precariously in the strong wind, went out, and there was no man or girl in white in the hallway, only the lights of the machinery flickering.

+ Player ‘professor’ has logged in.
– Jokass: Oh my, who is this! Aren’t you the professor who has achieved success?
– Namba Three: Brother! I heard you opened a business! Congratulations! If you happen to be near the southern clock tower intersection in District 47, please visit Namba3!
– Noroo Drug: Isn’t he the head of BDSM? Hahaha. The first group in this crazy era to put a perverted name on the front door. Hahaha.
– Takealook: A man among men. From that day on, I decided to respect my professor.
As soon as you enter the connection and enter the District 47 chat room, chats rush in like competition before your eyes. Everyone smiled and congratulated me, but it was quite annoying to see this very uncomfortable name keep appearing.
– professor: It’s not BDSM, dude. Are you going to keep using that name because I’m crazy? They know it that way because it was officially registered as ‘Big Dream’.
Even as I posted the chat, I felt prickly inside. It’s obvious no matter what you look at. He is a traitor to democracy, and communism is deep in his bones. If you stab him with a knife, red water will come out, and he will be plastered with raw criticism.
– Hooligan: ?
– Holly: Huh?
– Speed Wagon: ?
– Jokass: ?
– Noru Drug: What do you say?
But the reaction was a bit strange. what. This isn’t the reaction I was expecting.
– professor: What is it? What’s the problem again?
– Jokass: No, Professor. Isn’t that BDSM group you created?
– professor: What are you talking about? Of course, it’s an organization I created. And it’s not BDSM, it’s Big Dream.
– takealook: What kind of nonsense is this again? Is your name officially listed on ‘D – times’ posted on the community this morning? With BDSM.
– professor: Put bullshit in the right shape. That could never happen. mind! I even talked to the Dome staff on the phone! I also saw people from the inspection department face to face! Done
…
.
.
Uh… wait a minute. A very unpleasant guess just flashed through my mind.
.
.
.
‘hmm? Why are you sweating so much again? Ah, you said you have hyperhidrosis, right?’
‘Uh oh oh! That’s right!’
He was visibly embarrassed when I called him. I thought I was trying to scare you. What if there was still something left to do?
– professor: Hey, where did you go?
– Holly: Um… I don’t know? You were talking well here just a moment ago…
– Soy Sauce Gay Bar: Holy shit!
+ Player ‘Soy Sauce Gay Bar’ has left the chat room.
“Hehehehehehehehehehehe.”
His reaction proved my guess to be true.
I see. We went there, my friend. Now that I think about it, he worked in the inspection department. The Inspection Department deals with work related to external information, so the person I called, Delmar, must have been from the Inspection Department. He obviously understood it as a big dream. Our poisonous snake-like crab whispered evil words there. ‘Actually, their name is BDSM, not Big Dream! ‘We’re the best group of perverts in the wasteland!’ And that’s it.
“Hehehehehehehehehehe.”
A helpless laugh like that of an old man who lived all over the world came out of his mouth.
Wrong. That ‘D-Times’ is like a newspaper published by Dome. This means that it is a comprehensive information article that must be read not only in District 47 but also in other areas because it contains almost all the information that can be accessed through general methods in the area. That means that our name has already been introduced throughout the wasteland as a powerful name called BDSM, and no matter how hard I struggle from now on, I will never be able to escape that name.
‘Hyde.’
[hmm? Why?]
‘Last time, you said that there was a big list of Dom’s people who had something to pay back in your head, right?’
[iced coffee. yes. At that time, the names of all the people in the file that your old colleague gave you were written down.]
‘Yes. Then, could you please engrave one more person next to it?’
[Well, it’s not difficult. What should I write?]
“Ezel. Crash! “Rayden.”
The professor lay down on the computer, gritted his teeth, and made a promise.
Next time I see you, I will kill you. kill! kill!!! Soy sauce gay bar! Ezel! Ezel Raiden!!!! You piece of trash!!!!
Game start +0 seconds.
The professor’s stress level has already reached its limit.

[Character synchronization completed]
[Savior. Please save the Continent of Gedroits….]
Hwaaaah-!
With a dazzling light, the professor was once again stepping into the world of GG.
Tweet- Tweet-
Tweet-
The sound of warm morning sunlight streaming through the window and the cool morning wind rustling through the trees. In the meantime, the sound of small birds chirping can be heard as if to emphasize that this moment is peaceful. I could feel the anger that had been boiling over at that peaceful scene melting away to some extent.
‘Ah, it is purified. okay. This is it. This is what should happen when you log into the game!’
I guess I’ve been through a lot so far. Seeing how even simple things like this are moving. A slightly shabby but clean white bed against a wooden wall. I could tell without even trying to check. In the past, when playing a game with a normal character, you could see it every time you opened your eyes, with a normal sound effect on a normal background. This is an inn.
‘In Turan, we were just defeated on the battlefield and everything took care of itself, but in Tobrun it was different. I took care of all the hassle and asked a trustworthy colleague to take me to the inn, so I don’t have to go to the inn and log out, my save is in a safe place like this!’
In general, safe logging out in GG means logging out from an inn friendly force’s bedroom or camp, or a proper campsite with a bonfire, tent, and blanket (there is a chance of a night attack). If you log out without any threats around you, time will stop in the game while your character is asleep, and when you log in, you will have a refreshing morning like this.
‘Even if I ask another colleague to move it, this system will be maintained. So in the past, when I was playing as a warrior, if I had to travel a long distance, I would rent a carriage, set the destination to an inn, and log out.’
This game has been out for over 11 years. This is a game where all kinds of strategies have been discovered by numerous people.
“I’ve solved all the problems outside of myself and completely demolished Tobruun’s magic tower, so I’ll have to start taking care of it soon-”
Mulkyung-
“….huh?”
After relaxing a bit, I reached out to get off the bed, and caught something strangely soft and elastic in my hand.
As soon as you touch it, you feel an instinctive attraction. What is that graceful curve hidden under the blanket next to me on the bed where I should be the only one?
The professor, who recovered his hand with superhuman will, began to desperately organize his mind, which had become as chaotic as a supermarket immediately after the outbreak of war.
Heart pounding – pounding –
‘Oh no. There’s no way something like that could happen. The story unfolds like a ridiculous novel, something you only see in third-rate comic books!’
Bussssuk-
“Oh my darling? Did you wake up early? “Good~morning~?”
Ah, even the sky is indifferent.
Like a monster coming out of a nightmare, the blanket slowly fell down and a Rakshasha wearing a skimpy silk nightgown appeared before the professor’s eyes. A Rakshasha waving her hand with a soft smile and white eyes like a crescent moon, and a nightgown that flutters with her movements… Oh no! High curves! I have to close my eyes….
Scream!
Rather than having a cold, my eyes opened quickly, like a blind person seeing light for the first time. Neither the Professor nor Hyde, but some transcendent will inherent in instinct is preventing me from closing my eyes at this moment.
Excited! Excited!
‘You have to run away too. Where? How do I escape from this situation? When you lose your mind and fall asleep and then wake up in bed with a beautiful, half-naked woman?’
I need to calm down. I, Professor Park, am a man who has survived countless battlefields and suffered many hardships. Even when he was isolated among enemy soldiers, he was a man who succeeded in escaping while running through hundreds of mutants! This is just one of those common crises. Think back to those countless moments of escape! can do! After an epic escape, I will proudly pull myself out and shout! This is my escape routed-‘
“Last night… It must have been really hard? “If you look closely, you have a really cute side.”
Fuuuk-!
“Wow!
As the Rakshasha slowly strokes his attractively tanned bronze skin with one hand and utters words, each word becomes a deadly dagger and pierces his heart. Also a great assassin. Every incoming attack is murderous.
‘yesternight? Are you tired? What did you do? What on earth are you doing? Responsibility without pleasure? I am I to that beautiful southern woman! Iaaah!!!!’
Thump-thump-thump-thump!
Bleep-
situation over. It is impossible to remain calm in the current situation.
‘Ha Hyde! Shift! I can’t stand it!’
[Oh oh oh oh! Leave it to me, shell! This body, an independent body of will that is incomparable to the weak mental power of an insignificant human being-]
Twauk-
In an instant, all the senses in the body were blocked, and peace began to return to my mind in an instant.
‘I lived for a long time. Thanks to that guy, I overcame the crisis(?).’
If I had been with the Rakshasa in that space just a little longer, I don’t know what I would have done. I am a young man with a healthy body. Of course, I feel the same way, but it’s a bit different. It’s a game character, and the Rakshasha could be an NPC created based on someone’s play data, but I feel a bit reluctant. Above all-
– takealook: Don’t run away! Fight back!
– Holly: Aaaah! It’s so dirty! Now, what are you showing to growing teenagers?
– Speed Wagon: Fact – You can’t see it if you turn off the screen.
– Noru Drug: Woohyo~ Cho lucky★key! I woke up and there was an exotic beauty next to me~? Oh, oh, oh, oh, he was a popular guy~
– Highway Nacho Man: Professors need money too, right? Oh, Mr. Ajo is actually a wealthy person? How much do you need. How much will it cost?
– Soy Sauce Gay Bar: ㅇ
– Heungan Dumplings: Kangho’s duty! Kangho’s duty! Kangho’s duty! Kangho’s duty! Kangho’s duty! Kangho’s duty! Kangho’s duty! Kangho’s duty! Kangho’s duty! Kangho’s duty! Kangho’s duty! Kangho’s duty!
Look at that crazy chat room. Did I turn around? Take off your clothes and do a striptease in front of them.
As time passed slowly, the professor decided to calmly summarize the current situation while Hyde endured.
‘I must have lost my mind and the Rakshasa brought me to the inn. It’s a sure fact up to this point. From the outskirts of Tobrunn to the inn. This means that they returned to autonomous progress only during the time they were moving me. If I had woken up in the middle, the time might have been a little longer.’
However, my physical and mental strength were at an all-time low and I was so exhausted that I collapsed. The probability of her waking up is extremely slim, so even if the Rakshasa tried to do something, the character would not have woken up, and even though she woke up next to me in a half-naked state, obviously nothing happened –
wow .
Light began to shine in.
‘What is it? already? ‘I don’t think even 10 seconds have passed.’
[Kwaaaaaak-!]
With Hyde’s single scream, the professor’s consciousness was thrown out again.
***
“Ah, I’m back.”
Returning to his body, the first thing he noticed was the Rakshasha holding the professor’s face with both hands and pressing his face close to his nose.
“How can it be so rare…? Two souls in one body….. I want it….”
“I can’t believe you came back. “What…”
“Don’t pretend not to know? Hyde. “The sweet soul that just escaped into your body.”
“How…..”
“Hmm…. a woman’s sense?”
The Rakshasha stroked the professor’s forehead with a bright smile and sparkling eyes.
“The look in their eyes is different. “Hyde’s eyes have a shooting star-like light that burns the moment, but your eyes are like…”
The Rakshasha, who had been stroking her ebony hair and staring into the professor’s eyes for a while, smiled and turned around.
“Um, won’t you tell me?”
“Huh huh huh-”
As she got up from the bed and the professor made a noise like a deflated balloon, she walked around like a butterfly and laughed under her breath again.
“Oh really. I would like to play with you all day, but not even a day has passed since I built the magic tower, so I have something else to do. Me and you too?”
“What should I do?”
Cheok!
The Rakshasha spoke as he covered the professor’s mouth with his index finger and took out a slightly wet piece of paper from his pocket.
“Another polite word! How long are you going to call me that stiffly? Come on, call me Rakshasha~ “Rakshasha~”
The professor picked up the paper she handed him, trying to ignore the Rakshasha who was gently waving his hand and tempting him.
“Is this… a wanted letter?”
“is it so. This is a wanted letter for ‘Professor Human Escapee’. “By the way, could you please check who placed the bounty below?”
The professor followed the Rakshasha’s words and turned his gaze to the bottom of the paper. The letters were slightly blurred due to being wet with water, but there was no difficulty in reading them.
“Tobruun Lord’s Castle, Roderick’s Kingdom… everything is normal-huh?!!”
Sigh!
The moment the professor saw the final list of the groups offering the bounty, he unconsciously held the paper so tightly that it felt like it was going to tear.
“Gwangmyeong Church?!”
I came to my senses. I rubbed my eyes and looked again to see if I had seen it wrong, but it was definitely the Light Church that worships Ro-Haram, the god of light, the national religion of the Kingdom of Roderick.
“These guys… Why ‘Professor Escapee’?”
In response to the professor’s question, the Rakshasha just shrugged his shoulders.

[Side Story] A Collector’s Dream

[Area 43]
Grrrr-chuck-
chuck-chuck!
Like the group of soldiers wearing all-black military uniforms, the black-painted armored vehicles had vivid black scale patterns that anyone in the wasteland could recognize at a glance.
“Pack leader. The siege of the target area has been completed. Shall we begin declaring war as usual?”
As the soldier reported, he thought that permission would be granted. The declaration of war here meant indiscriminate force using mortars and anti-tank missiles. Their superior, an extreme rationalist and perfectionist, abhorred unnecessary pretense and looking for excuses when dealing with enemies. To the extent that it gives the enemy time to prepare, it will result in the loss of our troops. That was his theory, and because of that, his subordinates were able to truly respect and follow their superiors.
“No, I want to talk to you for a moment.”
Therefore, the moment Kesselring chose the means of ‘conversation’, the soldier was taken aback and asked a question without realizing it.
“Conversation… do you mean?”
Slam!
The moment the soldier’s mouth opened, the man who was standing like a shadow behind the pack leader immediately pointed the muzzle of a gun at his head.
“Don’t question the order, sergeant.” Kiririk-
“
No, since I gave an order that is different from usual, you can question it. Questions lead to confusion and a slowdown in operational performance.”
Just before the man could apply pressure to the trigger, a white glove blocked his actions. Kesselring, a man with nearly half of his face disfigured by burns, took the gun from the adjutant’s hand and kindly answered the soldier who asked the question.
“This time .
The operation is expected to be quite a long-term war. Nest has deployed a large number of troops to this area with the intention of thoroughly occupying this area, which has been excluded from the operation while the hostile forces are away from Area 43. The facility in front of you is a medical facility. Wouldn’t it be more useful to occupy it and use it as a medical facility for our troops rather than reduce it to ashes?”
“Thank you-”
Taang-!
He burst out laughing.
“Of course, the thing that gets in the way the most when giving orders is a soldier like you who questions orders.”
Kesselring shot the soldier who asked the question in the head with the gun he took from the adjutant’s hand, and then returned the blood-splattered gloves to the adjutant. The
adjutant who politely returned the gun immediately put on new gloves and a square microphone the size of his palm. Kesselring held out the gloves and put them on his hands, then pressed the button on the microphone and opened his mouth.
“This is to ‘Woojin Urology.’ As of this moment, the facility has been selected as a support facility for the Raptor Society, and this facility has “I inform you that you have no right to refuse any order. We will give you a 5-minute grace period, and if you do not disarm all of the facility within that time or do not respond, we will immediately treat you as an enemy of our side and annihilate you.”
Chiziik –
As soon as Kesselring took his hand off the microphone button, he felt a commotion inside. Since it was a hospital, there must have been patients who came to receive treatment. Unfortunately for them, Raptors are not a group that cares about other people’s situations. . Since they were in the enemy’s sphere of influence, they are also the enemy.
Crackling-squeaking-
For a moment, a loud noise was heard in the noise, and an amplified voice from the hospital came out of the loudspeaker.
“Ah, look Kim Gan. Is this being broadcast right now? Let’s take a look.” “You must have used it before. Oh, can you hear it? It’s good. It’s good.”
The voice of an old man that makes you feel sly just by hearing it. Although he was old, he had strength. The author is probably Woojin, the owner of this facility.
“Kingsley. How many minutes are left?”
“It’s 4 minutes and 03 seconds.”
While Kesselring was measuring the time, Woojin’s voice came out of the microphone.
“I’ve heard that cruel and pointless story. You look like you’re a foreigner, but I’ll only say it once, so listen carefully. First of all, no one except the relevant personnel is allowed to enter our hospital. “I’m sorry, but the land you’re stepping on is also our hospital site, so you’ve trespassed. If you politely apologize, offer appropriate compensation for your trespass, and then leave, I’ll treat it like nothing happened.”
“It’s 3 minutes and 46 seconds.”
“No, there is no need to measure the time.”
Kesselring, who pressed the button on the microphone, unusually decided to join in on the other person’s prank. Since it was something worthy of it, he said,
“Yes, I see. One last thing I would like to ask the doctor over there. I’m looking for someone. Is there anyone who has HIV? Do you know about this group? They recently raided their base, but the building was empty and the trail was divided into two branches. One in this direction and one outside of Area 43. By any chance. Are they here?”
Crackling Crackling –
There was silence for a moment between the two groups, and instead of answering, what came out was the old man’s laughter.
“Hehehehehehe… I’m sorry about this. I wasn’t treated well enough. I shouldn’t have left it standing outside like this from the beginning. “I should have let them in.”
Whistling-
Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap!
At that moment, the turrets that were densely installed on the outside of the building and looked like silver walls simultaneously pointed their guns towards the outside. “ I
forgot to mention something earlier, but when I say ‘related person,’ I mean patient. From now on, all of that black garbage there. You have to become my patient.”
Kesselring seemed to be able to see the old man’s expression through the loudspeaker as he heard the old man’s ferocious voice.
“All troops. Battle begins.”
Boom! Grumble! Grumble! Clunk
! Grumble! Chuckle, chuck,
chuck,
chuck, chuckle-
“Cleak, chuck, chuck… Aren’t they just idiots who are as excited as the nobility of the Joseon Dynasty? I guess I’ll have to send the list of patients hospitalized today to King Yeomna as is. ”
Old man Woojin smiled as he took out an old weapon neatly organized in a cabinet in the clinic.
“My name is… ok. I guess I’ll just write it at the top. Still, since they are my patients, I will lead them downstairs.”
Slam!
With those words, a shower of lead fell for a long time around the only hospital in District 43. Instead of the sound of rain, gunshots poured down, but the result was that the ground got wet all the same.

[A small office located somewhere in the Dome Inspection Department .
]
“The fucking director is telling me to rewrite that report. It seems like the interest in recruiting the professor’s gang is greater than I thought… Has the conflict with the executive branch become bigger? Is this going to lead to a civil war? I don’t know.”
After returning to the inspection department, Ezel was harassed by his superiors for a long time. His swollen cheeks were the problem. Although Ezel himself insisted that he had not been attacked, if you look at those cheeks, you can see that he was a member of the Dom performing official duties. Because it is true that he was beaten back from outside, Ezel had no choice but to reveal everything about his relationship with the professor that he had vaguely recorded in the report. It was a choice we had no choice since we were friends, so if we didn’t say something like this while playing, the professor’s shelter would be destroyed for the reputation of the Inspection Department.
After hearing Ezel’s statement, the superiors started talking amongst themselves and suddenly ordered Ezel to write a report neatly summarizing the conversation and all situations that took place in the BDSM caravan, giving them an office and even giving them access to confidential data. .
Ezel was obeying orders from his superiors to describe situations and people in reports for the crime of knowing how to draw. Now that he had the authority, he decided to look for the person who kept getting on his nerves, and now he is in the archives .
He came to visit and was looking for old confidential information while eating moldy dust.
“It was definitely a face I had seen somewhere before. Ian Ian Malcolm. This guy ran after me. Ian McGregor also followed. Ian Cope – Was he deported last year? Ah, he’s still imprisoned in Underdome. Ian Joe Ian Jones…. Shit, why are there so many-”
Palak.
“Uh…”

# Ian Desmont (aka Ashfield)
– Position: Pack Leader / Swarm Alpha (Last information updated: 2054.03.17.)
One of the early members of the Raptor Society, he served as a mercenary during the Great War and specialized in large-scale local annihilation terrorism. His age, origin, and race are all unclear, but the survivors commonly describe his impressive appearance (see #Data 2). Equipped with excellent combat and command skills, he was quickly promoted to a high-ranking position at Swarm Alpha level, but as he has not been seen on the front lines for nearly three years, it is presumed that he withdrew from the front lines or died during battle.
A person who has caused enormous physical and mental harm to Dome, which protects order and justice. Be sure to find out information about the person in question and report it immediately.
– Bounty: Life or death / 450000000 sil
– Key information provided / 4500000 sil
Attached materials:
#1 Early raptor recruitment poster (possibly modeled after the white male located in the center of the poster below the phrase ‘If you want to be treated well, join the Raptor Society’ Yes.
#2 A montage of the subject created based on the survivors’ descriptions.
=====
Brown eyes with a dark and deep decadent feeling. A strong impression of a man named Ian Desmont that can be felt just by looking at the rough sketch. The resemblance is clear. What is the resemblance? I can’t explain it, but….
“Oh, no way. If you don’t recognize a Swarm Alpha-level high-ranking official other than someone else, you should take off the inspection department’s business card.”
Other than the atmosphere, there was no doubt that the large person seen during the day and the person in the montage were completely different people
. A handsome man with a decadent vibe who would make ten women swoon the moment he
turned around. A macho man with a steel chin who looked as if he would throw about ten corpses when he turned around.
Tack!
Ezel reads the report he had written after resealing an old confidential document. I decided to finish it. There was more than one thing to worry about. As a new pie appeared in District 45, the internal conflict in the Dome was intensifying. If the Dome could not overcome this crisis wisely, it could be truly divided.

[Area 32. Happy Blind Residence]
An old woman dressed in loose clothes was standing on a very high platform, looking down at the people. The strong wind was blowing on the narrow platform with nowhere to step, so it seemed like she would fall at any moment, but the old woman’s green There was not an ounce of fear in her eyes.
“Listen, you who have closed your eyes.”
At the sound of her voice, numerous church members gathered under the podium raised their heads and looked at her.
“We are living in a time of suffering and trials. Every living person in the world “Existence is suffering from the aftermath of a war filled with blood and evil. It is a world where no one and no one without exception is groaning.” The
men
standing next to her podium were blindfolded with thin cloths. The drums were beating. As the sound of the drums pierced through the sound of the wind in the wasteland, the hearts of the church members began to beat to the beat.
“Raise your head and look at the gray sky! “Bow your head and look at the land without a single blade of grass. Then turn your head and look at the little life in your arms!”
As the old woman
‘s cries rang loudly, the church members looked with sorrowful eyes at the children they were holding in their arms or holding hands. Most of the people gathered here have or had children.
In the driving sandstorm, the old woman’s beautiful eyes burned as blue as those of a wild beast.
“What is the fault of these children! Why should this newly born, sinless soul suffer so much! These people are not guilty! “There is no sin, so there is no reason to suffer!”
Dung-dung-
“Unfortunately, the world has been destroyed. We will never again be able to enjoy the clear wind and see the green rivers and mountains! If you can’t go back, forget it! Forget and forget! I forgot again! “Shouldn’t we pass on to these children the image of us committing suicide because of nostalgia for the past?”
Thump-thong-
The old woman lowered her head and made eye contact with the church members. Tears were flowing from the eyes of church members whose eyes were covered with thin cloth. Tears of the same meaning flowed from the old woman’s blue eyes.
“Close your eyes, brothers. Forget the civilizations of the past! So that our children don’t shed tears because they miss the black asphalt and skyscrapers! Close your eyes! Brothers! Don’t let the remnants of the past seep into the children’s souls and cause that terrible war once again! closing eyes! Stay away from iron and oil! If necessary, even if we close the eyes of those who are repeating the past! Let us find rest in this age!”
Boom- Boom-
Before we knew it, everyone gathered here was closing their eyes. The comfortable darkness, where neither the bleak landscape of the wasteland nor their blood-stained clothes could be seen, gave them rest.
“Close your eyes.”
People from the past who already have the bad news of the past in their minds will lead you with all the shame in their eyes.
“I, a sinner whose eyes cannot be closed, will be your shepherd and lead the way.”
Thump-thump-thud!
After two final drum beats, all the torches that illuminated the platform and the surrounding area went out, and soft darkness fell on the wasteland for them.
***
‘Even if we have the same experience in the same world, how can we run in such different directions?’
The girl carefully collected and saved her dreams one by one. Because no human being is like any other. Every dream is her precious collection.
Those who want to own the world.
A person who wants to return to the world of the past.
A person who wants to forget the remnants of the past even if it means destroying the remaining world.
The color, the scent, the flavor. The most special collection in the world, where no two are alike.
“Ah, human life is so beautiful.”
The girl cherished the dream stored in her data.
She was a collector. Her collection was overflowing in the world, but none of them were the same, representing the most noble works of art and human life.
