Chapter 1049 – 1049. Shinwi
I followed Kang Ji-woo and walked through the underground passage.
All that lit up the dark passageway was the small lantern in Kang Ji-woo’s hand. The lantern’s light was dim, so it did not illuminate the surroundings brightly.
I examined the wall of the aisle. The stone walls were smooth and painted with grotesque patterns that had no meaning, just like the retreat building in Busan.
‘I feel bad after entering this passage.’
There were several causes.
There is a hot spring nearby, so the air is warm and damp. It felt like being in someone’s mouth.
And the second is that I have no idea what is in front of this aisle.
“Mr. Eugene. You are nervous.”
“Won’t you be nervous when you’re going somewhere unknown? I seem to have walked quite a while ago, but I don’t see any sign of arriving. How much longer do I have to walk?”
“I do not know. It’s my first time walking down this aisle… It will probably arrive soon.”
“Is this your first time?”
“Yes. This passage was made by the Japanese branch, and I’m in charge of Korea. I’ve been to Japan a few times, but this is the first time I’ve been here for work.”
“Tell me what is at the end of this aisle.”
I couldn’t overcome my frustration and asked straight forward. Jiwoo Kang smiled.
“Mr. Eugene, check it out with your own two eyes. Gwangsinnim will also want that.”
Nothing was gained. He sighed and walked away.
Then I noticed something strange. It’s just that the surroundings are so quiet. There are 20 people here. Kang Ji-woo never specifically forbade chatting. Even if I ask a question right away, Kang Ji-woo kindly answers.
‘… What? They’re all out of their minds.’
The believers, including Park Soo-ho, were in a playful state. The pupils are open, and saliva flows from the gaping mouth. Reason seemed to have disappeared.
“Park Soo-ho.”
I grabbed Park Soo-ho’s shoulder.
“Uh, uh… Yes. Brother. What are you doing?”
Park Soo-ho got out of his stupid expression. However, the eyes were still out of focus.
“… No. Nothing.”
It seemed that no matter what I said, it wouldn’t work.
“It is nothing.”
Park Soo-ho looked straight ahead and went back to his stupid expression.
‘It must be the same as brainwashing. The patterns on the aisle walls are affecting Park Soo-ho and other people. I’m absolutely sane, so it’s okay… Kang Ji-woo is the guide, so he is not affected.’
The nape of the neck is itchy. Intuition and instinct were telling me it was dangerous.
‘Let’s prepare in advance.’
I looked around. Kang Ji-woo, who stood at the front, was busy moving forward, and all the believers around him followed him with stupid faces. Even when I raised my middle finger in front of their noses, the believers did not react. I don’t look this way unless I touch my body directly.
I took out my smartphone and listened. Then I noticed that the wifi wasn’t working. Well, this is fine The problem is that the indication of non-Wi-Fi reception is also 0. In other words, there is no telephone connection in this underground passage.
‘What did they do to the aisle?’
It became a situation where I couldn’t ask for help from the outside.
I used the game world to change the inventory items to suit the battle. And just in case, he wrapped a piece of space movement spell around his wrist. If you feel that this is dangerous, you can use the space movement scroll to escape.
‘Good. Preparation is over. Let’s go.’
I am perfect
Even if the opponent was an A-class hunter, he was confident that he could win using his temp. It won’t work for top A-class guys, but…. I might be able to run away.
‘This is reality. Death is the end, so let’s live unconditionally.’
If you die in the world of play, the world of play will only end, but it wasn’t reality. I couldn’t die even though I couldn’t even enjoy all of the Yugi Life app yet.
Woo woo woo woo woo.
“…… !!”
I opened my mouth and inhaled. It felt like the space had suddenly changed. I know this feeling well.
‘Dungeon! Did you just enter the dungeon?!’
Keep your eyes on Kang Ji-woo. Kang Ji-woo was walking casually.
“Looks like you’re almost there.”
At the end of the passage was a door. Huge door. It was a black door with all kinds of colorful carvings, like the gates of hell.
Kang Ji-woo grabbed the door and pushed it. Profit. The door slides slowly. Contrary to the heavy appearance, the door is light.
“Everyone. Is this your first time visiting the temple of the light source bridge? Actually, it’s my first time too. The temple is a place where unauthorized persons cannot enter. Kwangsin-nim will gain his prestige here and descend for the salvation of this world.”
I got the feeling of entering the dungeon again.
The world that opened the door was a completely different world.
A pure white and majestic building built under a high blue sky. Clear water flowing all around. Clean marble floors filled around the temple.
‘Is that the temple of the light source bridge….’
It feels like entering a fantasy world. No Buildings like that are not common in fantasy worlds. I know it well because I have been to the fantasy world.
Around the temple, the followers of the Light Source Bridge were wandering around. There were not only Asians, but also Westerners. I looked around and saw three more black doors through which we entered.
‘On the way here, I felt like entering a dungeon twice. No way… Is it a dungeon within a dungeon?’
Even if it looks like this, I am a university hunter major, and I am confident that I have as much knowledge as the hunter world. Some of that knowledge was about dungeons that opened within dungeons. The cause is unknown, but it occurs with a very rare probability.
I checked my smartphone. Radio waves still haven’t been picked up. And unlike the night sky in Japan, you have no choice but to admit it when you see the deep blue sky. This is a dungeon. It is unknown whether it is a dungeon within a dungeon, but it is certain that it is a dungeon.
It was then.
A series of groups appeared at the temple’s main entrance.
It was a middle-aged man with short blond hair and a white robe. Looking at the fancy dress embroidered with gold thread, he noticed that his status was unusual.
“Oh oh! Dear man! I was waiting for you to come to the temple!”
I was embarrassed. The reason the foreigner suddenly spoke in fluent Korean was because he was so hospitable to me.
I turned my gaze slightly to the side and looked at Kang Ji-woo. Jiwoo Kang smiles.
“That is Giorgio Micheli, the leader of Light Source Bridge. I think you came to meet Eugene in person to welcome her.”
Giorgio, the leader of the light source bridge, ran in front of me and embraced my body. When the man hugged me, I felt bad. He wants to leave the knife as it is, but… There were many people around. In particular, the guys around the leader had the skills of an A-class hunter.
“… It’s burdensome. Master.”
I pulled out my strength and pushed him away. Giorgio backed off easily.
“This…. I made a mistake. Stop being so happy…. Please forgive me noble.”
“It’s okay, you aren’t hurt anywhere. I didn’t know the headmaster would treat me like this.”
“It’s only natural that you’re a nobleman. But your eyes are full of confusion.”
I looked around.
Everyone at Light Source Bridge was friendly to me. And I was curious about the identity of this temple. I don’t know the details, but I’m sure it’s not unusual.
“I will ask you honestly. Where are you? Where on Earth are you?”
Haha. It seems that you are curious about the temple. This temple is nowhere on earth.”
“…… Is it a dungeon?”
“Similar but slightly different. I need more time to explain in detail… We’ll put it off until later. However, speaking of this space, it can be said that the authority of Kwangsinnim permeated it.”
The instructor answered my questions easily. He didn’t even seem to be in a bad mood.
“There is something else I don’t understand. Why am I noble?”
“It’s because Gwangshinnim chose you.”
“I’m asking because I don’t know why that fanatic chose me. I was someone who had nothing to do with the light source bridge until recently.”
If it wasn’t for Park Soo-ho, nothing related would have happened. Also, it was difficult to understand when he said that he became a nobleman because of an oracle. Why did Gwangshin give such an oracle? Why did fanaticism choose me? A more fundamental question arose.
Kang Ji-woo will say that God’s will is too deep to fathom, but the leader in front of him will be different. Unlike Kang Ji-woo, who is the lowest among the officers of the Light Source Church, he must be the highest-ranking leader.
Haha. Since you have come this far, you should explain.”
When I said it so easily, I was suspicious.
“First of all, you must have met Kwangsinnim.”
“I met Kwangshin-nim? When?”
“That’s it, don’t you know? Try to retrace your memory.”
I was concentrating on my memory and immediately remembered it.
A being worthy of being called a god.
However, that was not the god of this world, but the god of Park Soo-ho’s tattoo world.
Brahmasen.
It was definitely that name.
Evil spirit.
A god of madness that spreads madness.
‘Did fanaticism mean a real crazy god, not a god of light?’
I found out the identity of the fanaticism.
Brahmasen. Somehow, he was worshiped on Earth. And at the same time, I wondered. Wasn’t Brahmasen against me? He’s come and treats you like a nobleman? To him, I’d be an enemy he’d want to kill right away.
“The fanatic wants a nobleman.”
“You want me?”
“Yes. I don’t know what the reason is, but the fanaticism wants a nobleman.”
“…….”
The last time he met Brahmasen, he also tried to placate me. Surely I would have rejected it with a single knife at that time.
“My dear. Do you know the hero of Cellretina? It is the worst enemy, and it is a heresy among heretics. We hate that heresy. I got the best offering.”
The teacher’s gaze turned to Park Soo-ho. Park Soo-ho was still making a stupid face. He knelt down and bowed his head toward the leader, as any ordinary follower would. Gyoju looked at Park Soo-ho and drew an arc on his mouth. It was ridicule.
“I couldn’t believe that the real Celbretina hero would approach us without any preparation. I didn’t expect it, and Gwangshin didn’t expect it either. Gwangshin was very happy with the luck that came.”
I vaguely guessed that Park Soo-ho was a warrior. The person deeply related to the world of tattoos is Park Soo-ho, not me.
“…… Is Park Soo-ho a sacrifice? What does it mean?”
“Selvretina’s hero is special. Received the power of Cellretina… You can call it a kind of apostle. Fanaticism will gain prestige by stealing the power of Celbretina through the sacrificed warrior. He is descending to Earthhaha. Originally, it would have taken more than half a year, but the success rate has increased and the time has come earlier!”
“If Park Soo-ho is the sacrifice, what role will I play? Am I a sacrifice too?”
“To make a nobleman a sacrifice… I don’t do such blasphemous things. What you have to do is to face the advent of Gwangshinnim. I think Gwangshinnim is probably trying to make a nobleman his apostle.”
The headmaster looked at me with eyes dripping with envy and respect. I wasn’t happy at all.
“… When will the fanatics descend?”
“Tomorrow. We’re going to have a priesthood ceremony tomorrow! In my heart, I want to perform the ceremony right now, but… Rituals require preparation.”
It seemed to be fucked up.
Not just me, but the whole planet.
I thought about it and nodded. He had a bright smile that he hadn’t had before.
“I am really looking forward to tomorrow. I am ready to meet Kwangshinnim.”
It looks like it’s already fucked up, so I decided to choose the best solution. It is to ride the rope of Brahmasen. Then even if the world goes crazy, I will be as safe as I am. The important thing to me is to survive and enjoy the game life.
From now on, I am a fanatic follower.
