Wuhan Iran (2)
Borshua region of the Kingdom of Akros.
Sirone, who was walking down a rough mountain path, suddenly stopped.
“Heh! “Heh!”
Nade, who was climbing the slope with his tongue out like a dog, looked back and touched the ground.
“what’s the matter? it’s hard?”
“It’s gone.”
“huh’?”
Iruki, who was leading, turned around and placed his butt on the ground.
“Let’s get some rest. “What’s going on?”
“One of the simultaneous events disappeared. Or maybe it’s just that I’m not feeling it.”
“Where?”
“The spirit of Ymir. To be precise, the moment I was engulfed by Guffin’s Hand of God, my existence disappeared.”
“Guffin?”
It wasn’t an actual Guffin, but it took too long to explain it in detail.
“Anyway, the signal was lost. “It probably means that
the quantum signal is not intertwined with me here .”
Nade tilted his head.
“Is that possible? Quantum signals transcend time and space. “How do you stop that?”
“No. It’s impossible, at least in this universe. If there is only one possibility…
Sirone said with his chin resting.
“The person I am now and the person I am in Ymir’s mind have become completely different people.”
Nade’s face turned pale.
“No way is he dead…
“No, that won’t be the case. “Because I am alive and well here
.”
Friends were able to indirectly find out that Sirone’s life was connected.
Iruki said.
“If it’s not death, is it like rising to a new level? But you are an infinite wizard.”
“Even if that were the case, quantum signals would overlap. Then, what’s left? Shirone stopped talking.
‘The outside world.’
If combined with information coming from outside the universe, the Ultima system could have been blocked as well.
‘What happened?’ I wanted to check right away, but Sirone, who was already in Le’s mind, didn’t seem to think so.
“Nothing will change. Let us proceed like this. “It will be revealed once the mission is over.”
When Iruki got up from his seat, the three started climbing the steep mountain path again.
“I’m dying from exhaustion. Now I don’t even know where I am. “Aren’t you wasting your time?”
Iruki tapped his head.
“According to the map in my head, the demon army did not pass through this place. Of course, the road is bound to be difficult.”
Shirone and his group arrived at the summit as the sun was setting, frowning and feeling nauseous.
“Ugh!”
There was a tremendous stench.
“It seems the smell was trapped in a place surrounded by mountains. The air quality is different. What the hell…
Iruki looked down the mountain, but even the moon was covered by clouds, so he couldn’t see anything.
“Let’s go.”
The descent was a little faster and I reached the halfway point with the map in my head clear.
“What is this…
The fence of a small village with about 100 households came into view.
There was a broken sign at the entrance to the village, but it was unreadable because of the dried blood.
“Let’s go in.”
With the only sound being the sound of the window shaking in the wind, I saw a body lying on the street.
“Whoa!”
The maggot-covered corpse was so decomposed that even wild animals were not interested in it.
Iruki said
after picking up a tree branch and examining the body .
“My head was broken by a blunt force.”
“Is it a demon?”
“Looking at the route, the distance is too far. Besides, the buildings are too intact to be the work of demons.”
“Then, could it be an aftereffect of emotional illness…
This time, Sirone shook his head.
“It’s not impossible, but the emotional disease will spread southwest from Tormia. “This is the northeast, so it’s on the opposite side of the contagion route.”
Iruki said, throwing a tree branch.
“Let’s take a look first. “There might be survivors.”
As we got closer to the center of the village, the number of corpses increased, and all of them had been hit on the head with blunt objects.
“Sirone here.”
On the wall that Nade pointed to, the words ‘I am the king’ were written in blood.
At the foot of the wall, the corpse of a man with two amputated wrists sat looking sullen.
“Do you know who Sirone is?”
“no. It’s already been 22 years, so you can’t tell just by looking at their faces. If only I knew his name…
Nade searched through the man’s clothes.
“There’s something.” When I took it out and checked, it was a letter from someone.
“Can you read?”
“huh. Sirone, give me some light.”
As Nade approached, Shirone and Iruki were on his left and right, reading the letter together.
-Honey, something is wrong. I’m so anxious I can’t stand it. That girl, that girl who never reveals her name? She originally claimed to have no name, but ever since she came, everything seems to have gone crazy.
“The woman?” Sirone continued to read the text while listening to Nade’s voice.
-Remember, honey. While we were born and raised in this village, have we ever met a single person from outside the village? The evil woman tricked the village chief with her cunning words and made everything a mess. And in the end… they even sacrificed our children.
At this moment, Sirone felt uneasy as the man’s severed hands suddenly appeared.
-I have something to confess. Actually… I once met someone from outside my village when I was young. He saved me when I got lost after hurting my leg while digging for herbs. By the amazing power of God Yor. He taught me the heart of love.
Iruki thought.
‘A figure from the Church of Yor. ‘Did you meet during missionary work?’
-The reason I kept it a secret until now… You know how afraid the villagers are of the outside world. But I know. That this world is full of God’s love.
‘I’m afraid of the outside.’
Sirone’s eyes deepened as he read the letter.
-The woman! A vicious and vicious bitch! It must be the devil! I’m scared that the village people believe what she says. is it so! It seems as if everyone in the village is dreaming with their eyes open.
‘Is it some kind of hypnotism?’
It would be easiest to think of it that way, but Sirone felt like he was missing something.
‘No, this is not like that.’
-I will follow the village chief to God’s shrine. Maybe we can make people wake up from their dreams. Only I can do this.
The woman continued writing on the next line.
-I’m tired of fighting with you. It’s the villagers who are crazy, not me. Look at my son who was just born. Take Leas and run away. If you don’t believe me, we will lose our son.
Nade recited the last name written down.
“Wife Ravika.”
Omega’s records were retrieved from the library of knowledge made up of Sirone’s 5-dimensional cube.
‘There are so many.’
There were countless Ravikas in the universe, and among them were humans from other civilizations.
However, Terraforce was the only race in the universe that could overcome the speed of light barrier.
‘If you look at it individually, it’s a different story.’
Sirone set the region and year within the physically possible range.
‘Just one person. ‘This is him.’
Judging from the only information that comes to mind up to the age of seven, her current age would be twenty-nine.
“This is Kashiram village. It was built 230 years ago by war refugees. “We have been self-sufficient in isolation from the outside world for a long time.”
Iruki said.
“There are too few bodies compared to the number of buildings. “It looks like he went to the place called God’s Holy Land mentioned in the letter.”
Nade flew into the sky and pointed ahead.
“Shirone Iruki. “Let’s go over there.”
As I ran along where Nade was flying, I saw a completely collapsed building.
It was the largest building, and all the materials were turned into charcoal, as if there had been a fire.
“Village hall. “Why did you burn it?” Sirone cast Hand of God and grabbed the building with his huge hand of light.
When I lifted a handful, the miserable scene inside the village hall was revealed.
Each of the charred corpses was lying down with their jaws wide open and their bodies twisted.
“There was a fight here.”
Shirone put down the remains of the building and looked at the fallen stone wall on the side of the auditorium.
“It looks like the building burned down and collapsed. “Maybe there’s something that hasn’t burned.”
When the Hand of God raised the wall with his thumb and index finger, a poster made of boards was revealed.
On the left, there was a phrase written by the village chief.
-Worship. I, the messenger of God, tell you that by burning the place to which you will return, you will be able to enter God’s sacred place.
There was a notice on the right.
-We are planning to burn down the village hall at 5pm, so everyone is requested to attend. Those who have special reasons or cannot attend will be punished by God. Food is not allowed to be brought, and there is a ceremony where everyone’s sins are paid for with the blood of a pure child.
Nade said.
“Something… seems normal, but it’s not normal.”
“That’s what you call crazy. Anyway, let’s find a place called God’s Holy Land.” Sirone and the others looked around the village. The scenery decorated with corpses of murders and suicides was in itself a test of courage.
Sirone arrived at a place where warehouse buildings were gathered and pointed across from the watermill.
“There are signs of an explosion.”
A huge pile of stones was seen at the bottom of the cliff.
“I guess they blocked the entrance.”
It was questionable what kind of force they used to blow up the entrance after living a closed life for 200 years.
Iruki said.
“Judging by the state of decomposition of the body, it will take at least three weeks. “No matter what happened, it would have already been over.”
“You’ll find out when you get there.”
When the Hand of God moved a large rock, a gap was created for a person to enter.
As I entered there, I saw a winding road with sharp stalactites.
“hey! “Is there anyone?”
I couldn’t make out any sound other than the echo of Nade’s voice.
How much time had passed, Iruki asked as he crawled through the narrow entrance.
“But why did you block the entrance? “It wasn’t big enough to escape with manpower.”
“well. To prevent them from running away?”
“But the village chief also went in. “Besides, I’m concerned that they told me not to bring food.”
Many thoughts crossed my mind, but I couldn’t know without seeing it for myself.
A sound was heard from the other side of the narrow passage.
“Cruk. “Kruk.”
” Shh.”
At the same time as Nade gave the signal, Sirone lowered the intensity of Shining magic.
‘Infrared vision.’
When Miracle Stream was activated, Sirone and his party’s vision changed to light green, removing the darkness.
‘Oh my…
three people were curled up like rats, with their faces buried in the stomach of a dead body, swallowing something.
“Give me the finger.”
The tone of voice was so calm that to the three people’s ears, it sounded like ‘Hey, pass me the salt shaker.’
“It’s cold. “It’s cold.”
No matter how hard he tried to look away, his hearing reconstructed the scene, and Nade couldn’t stand it in the end.
“What are you guys doing here?” When the three people surrounding the corpse raised their heads, their eyes were visible in the infrared vision.
“who is this! who!”
On the other hand, they could not see Sirone and his group.
“Speak quickly! “What are you doing by locking the villagers in a cave?”
“Ugh! “It’s a devil, a devil!”
Despite being invisible, it was surprisingly fast when it came to running away.
“It looks like you memorized the terrain. Should I chase you?” Nade asked as he created lightning magic, but
Shirone shook his head.
“no. “Let’s look at this first.”
The body was severely mutilated and most of the flesh had fallen off.
“I feel like I’m going to throw up.”
Unlike Nade, Iruki was calm.
“At least we weren’t out of food. If you do this, you can last more than 3 weeks. “The problem is why.” There was cold anger in the eyes of the three people who were staring into the depths of the cave at the same time.
