Karma Chain (2)
Is this what it feels like to be a bomb?
As energy that was not his own filled up exponentially, Lian gritted his teeth.
“Keuuuu!”
It was only when hot smoke billowed out between my teeth that I realized I couldn’t hold on.
Regardless of the pressure, the demonic energy was filling up through the chains of Gehenna.
“Aaaah!” Rihanna opened her upper body wide and released the irritating pressure to the outside.
Rumbling!
Hot steam centered around him and spread out along the ground in reverse rotation.
“ha! ha!”
Although I was breathing heavily, I didn’t feel particularly tired.
Sirone’s voice was heard.
“Gehenna.”
When Lian slowly raised his head, Sirone was walking across the horizon.
“Shiro, what is this?”
“A fire that never goes out. It’s called hellfire
. In fact, it is a phenomenon that cannot happen to living beings.”
Sirone said, looking around.
“Normally, they burn in the fire of hell and become the source of evil. But you endlessly regenerated your body in real life. So it became Gehenna, a living hellfire.”
“Does this mean I have to keep wearing this?”
“Even if you end up in hell, your mind is still tied to reality. Because it is a living body. This is called karma, and the chain tied to the heart represents the lingering regrets left in reality. If you purify that karma, the chains will disappear, but
“I will die.”
Sirone nodded.
“huh. Complete annihilation. “The body has already disappeared, but the soul has also evaporated.”
“okay. But how do you purify it?”
“Hmm, I remember…
Shirone recalled Omega’s record.
“The hidden world is the realm of emotions, so I don’t know for sure. I only experienced it indirectly, following the movement of atoms, that is, the record of birth and incarnation. “When Guffin met Lucifer, a voice was heard from heaven.”
” sky?”
Lian looked up at the sky filled with flames and shouted loudly.
“hey! “Say something!”
Cooooooo!
The sky was just spitting out angry flames.
When the red light on the signal turned on, the informator twisted his back restlessly.
“What do we do! What do we do!”
Basically, the person subject to purification is always accompanied by at least one informator.
The world was overflowing with labor, and most people had nothing to do.
“I broke the karma chain by myself.” As far as she knew, this was impossible, especially in the fiery Gehenna.
beep! beep!
Every time Ryan shouted, the buzzer rang, but he couldn’t muster up the courage to respond.
“I need to tell you the purification time…
The time of the photon field is used as a measure of the size of the emotion in the hidden world.
In other words, the greater the pain, the faster time passes, and the weaker the pain, the slower it passes.
“But why?”
Is it not measurable?
The signal that emerged from the blood contained in the hemispherical bowl was the phrase ‘impossible to measure.’
It was my first time in my life and I didn’t even know that such a sign could appear.
“president!”
In the end, the informator, ignoring the red light of the signal, went straight to find Lethe.
“what?” Lethe raised an eyebrow.
“What do you mean it can’t be measured? “No being can receive such a signal.”
“I heard that signal really came out.”
Seeing the informant’s aggrieved expression, Lethe buried her elbows on the desk and touched her head.
“It’s the chains of Gehenna…
The Korea Resources Management Corporation is suffering from hell, but it is a completely independent organization.
As a group that was faithful to its original purpose, the purification of demons was the only primary task.
“He’s a special guy, isn’t he?”
It was a bland response, but there was really no other way to explain it.
“Not even Satan can resist Gehenna. He too was born in the fires of hell. In short, it’s a system failure.”
“What should I do? To be honest, we can’t tell you that it’s impossible to measure. The signal keeps ringing…
“Don’t make a fuss. It’s a simple error. Karma chains serve to bind the purification target to hell in some way. It was just cut off for a moment. We will reconnect.”
“And then what if I hang up again? It is dangerous for Saengyukshin to roam freely.
“You can come to the chemical engineering temple.” Lethe, with wide eyes, was outside the door.
“Monoras, come in.”
I waited for 10 seconds, but I couldn’t even hear any footsteps in the hallway.
“ha.”
She bowed her head deeply, hesitated for a moment, then opened her lips and made an excited sound.
“Ah ah…
The door opened with a bang.
“president! “What’s going on…!”
Monoras, who came in with his eyes wide open, saw a scene completely different from what he had expected.
The informant was looking back, and in front of the desk, Lethe was opening her cold eyes.
There was a long silence.
“Hmm.”
Monoras licked his lips and turned without saying a word and headed for the door.
“hey!”
Lethe stood up, hitting the desk.
“I called you! Please do some work! “Just looking at you makes me age thousands of years!”
Monoras asked back angrily.
“What’s going on?”
I knew from the very beginning of the creation of the secret world that it was not worth using evil tools.
“I went on a business trip. Now we have a problem with the purification system, so we need to call a professional. Raviet, the city of magic engineering. “Tell the Archduke to come this way.”
As Monoras was about to leave the room without saying he understood, Lethe spoke quickly.
“Don’t take bribes. okay?”
“yes.”
“Don’t even accept entertainment. Don’t hit the demons, don’t harass the residents, and don’t abuse power. “No, no.”
Lethe waved her hand.
“Just do everything. You can do anything, so please do your job properly. Don’t let it leak somewhere else. huh?”
“Do not worry. ‘Who am I?’”
Who are you?
Monoras turned in front of the door and winked with a nice smile.
“This is Monoras, the chemical company’s chief secretary.”
Lethe, who was staring blankly with her mouth open, slumped down in her chair.
“…I’m really going crazy.” It was well after noon when Sirone and Amy arrived in the southern part of the Kingdom of Tormia.
The damage from the demons was not that great, but the aftermath of the emotional illness had spread even here.
With screams heard from every house, Amy pointed the way to the noble district.
“That building is what I remember.”
It was so huge that it was comparable to the Karmis family’s mansion.
Sirone confirmed the surname ‘Cross’ engraved on the nameplate.
“Kayden.”
Amy nodded.
“It will be at the main house. “I checked the formation of the Valkyrie unit just in case, but they didn’t enlist.”
“Do you still like Maya?”
“So, I guess I’m stuck. If you like it that much, try confessing. “I’m dying of frustration.”
“But Kayden…
“Yes, he was destined for the Red Cross. The ability to never achieve what you truly want, but to give 100 percent potential for everything else. At the time, I thought it was nonsense… but
now that I have accessed the truth of the world, I fully understand Kayden’s feelings.
“The fate of reaching the limit of the law at the price of giving up one’s heart. “Maybe that’s the mechanism of the Red Cross.”
“That’s why I asked you a favor. If it’s Miracle Stream, there might be some way. “If Kayden joins, it will be a great help to humanity.”
Sirone also had no disagreement with that.
“Okay, let’s go in.”
I knocked on the door from outside, but neither the guard nor the butler came to meet me.
Since they are one of the best families in the kingdom, they must be able to control their emotions well, but it looks like they are having a hard time as expected.
“Who are you?”
Just as I was thinking about climbing over the wall, a man in a martial arts uniform walked from the garden.
It was Kayden’s father.
“hello. This is Amy. Kar Miss Amy.”
Kayden’s father, who was watching her, saw Sirone and his eyes lit up.
“Is it Yahweh?”
“hello. “I want to meet Kayden.”
The door opened and Kayden’s father turned and walked into the mansion.
“I knew someone would come. Unless my son is really an idiot. “Please come in.”
The mansion was empty and even the air was cold.
The reason I couldn’t blame it on my emotional illness was because I felt a chill that had been there for a very long time.
“It’s been a long time since we spoke. “I said it was a bloodshot, but he hasn’t come out of the basement since he went to the funeral.”
My father knocked on the iron door.
“Kayden’s friends came to visit.” There was no answer and he sighed and walked up the stairs.
“It’s on your own from now on. Maybe he’s dead. It’s a pity. There was a sense of loss in his voice that the genius of the family…
could not do anything until the world was destroyed.
As her father left, Sirone made eye contact with Amy and knocked on the door again.
“Kaden, it’s Sirone. Amy came too. “Can I talk to you for a moment?”
“??????go back.”
It was a sound that I couldn’t hear without my ears, but it was definitely Kayden’s voice.
Amy said.
“I’ll be back soon. “I have something to tell you about Maya.”
I tried throwing bait, but there was no response until 5 minutes had passed.
“Let’s open Sirone.”
Amy pointed to the doorknob.
“You can open it, right? open it.”
“Coercive methods do not help with persuasion. If Kayden doesn’t want it…
“You didn’t react even after hearing the word Maya. If you’re trapped inside yourself, it doesn’t matter one way or another. “Someone has to go in and pull it out.”
Since it made sense, Sirone cast Miracle Stream on the doorknob.
As the lock was quietly unlocked and the door opened, the sound of a pen grazing paper was quickly heard.
“No, not this!”
Kayden was drawing at a dark desk with a single light.
“…oh my god.”
Amy got goosebumps when she saw the room plastered all over with Maya’s paintings.
“Not this either!” Kayden threw the paper he was drawing on the floor and pulled out a new piece of paper.
At first, I thought it had failed, but when Sirone came in and checked, it was Maya’s perfect face.
‘The technique is really strange. How could that Lin…
Shirone looked back at Kayden and stopped thinking.
“Huh. “Hmm.”
Can that be called a painting?
Kayden was just drawing the pen from left to right at an incredible speed.
‘It’s just a straight line.’ However, as the lines continued to be added, a perfect engraved picture was born.
“no! “This isn’t it!”
Kayden threw away the paper again and this time held a pen in his right and left hands.
The feast of lines created by the two hands moving simultaneously was drawing a new Maya.
“shit! why! why!”
Kayden, who threw the finished picture on the floor, held his head and shed tears.
“Why can’t I draw Maya?”
Sirone watched him with sad eyes
.
‘Technically, there is no problem. No, we have already surpassed human limitations. But…
in Kayden’s eyes, it won’t be Maya.
‘Because I love her.’
The essence of the woman named Maya cannot be captured in any painting.
“Kayden.”
Sirone put his hand on Kayden’s shoulder.
“Go to Maya. She’s in a dangerous place now. “Maybe I will die.”
“…I can’t.”
Kayden said with a desperate expression,
“I can’t draw Maya. If you can’t draw it, you can’t protect it. I won’t be able to do it.”
Amy finally realized why Kayden had been drawing like crazy.
“Maya…
Sirone is silent about the simultaneous incident, but this time she relayed the information.
“I’m in as bad a condition as you.”
Kayden’s eyes turned to Sirone for the first time.
