56 – A Word of Regret (1)
“… “Why are you here?”
“That sounds a little strange. Cadet Siwoo Choi.”
“Yes?”
“I am an instructor. And I’m staying at Prunel. “Of course it makes sense to be here, right?”
Kang Han-seong shrugged his shoulders as if asking what was the problem.
I couldn’t say anything.
This is logically correct.
But that wasn’t Choi Si-woo’s intention.
From Noble mtl dot com
The man I met for the first time as soon as I got out of the nightmare, as if I had been waiting for him.
A man who is not embarrassed at all even in this situation.
Finally… He was so quiet that I wondered if this was his first time experiencing this situation.
Of course, he handled it calmly because he had a lot of experience and had a particularly strong mentality. If you say that, it makes sense… Siwoo Choi became aware of the feeling of an unknown foreign body in his mouth.
Anyway, Kang Han-seong looked around and grabbed the cadet and instructor who were lying nearby with both hands.
“Now that I think about it, we haven’t even been able to talk since Choi Si-woo came up. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen a happy face, so I’d like to have a sincere conversation… “It looks like both of us are busy.”
“… Right… “Yes.”
He nodded and continued the rescue operation.
At most dozens of people nearby were unable to come to their senses.
“It seems that Choi Si-woo is looking for something as a priority in this disaster.”
“… “How did you know?”
“It’s just a hunch. Because I pride myself on having good intuition. And there’s a high probability that it’s a person.”
“…… “
Kang Han-sang smiled at Choi Si-woo, who couldn’t say anything.
“I guess that’s right. “I think the reason you can’t answer is because it’s difficult to explain the situation and you don’t have time.”
“… You’re right. Because I can’t afford it… “
“I understand. “It’s never too late to deal with everything after everything is done.”
After answering, Kang Han-seong pointed to the leftmost path with his hand.
“I saw that most of the cadets were there. “I think one of these that Choi Si-woo is looking for is probably over there.”
After finishing speaking, he stared blankly.
“As an instructor, I think I should stop it, but my intuition speaks for itself. I’m helping by leaving you alone now. So go ahead. Choi Si-woo. “The path you believe in.”
“…… Thank you.”
Choi Si-woo briefly bowed and quickly ran away.

Kwakwa-!
Purple sword energy swirls in all directions.
Human-like beings came in, using their arms and legs to aim for the blind spot.
It looked similar to a human on the outside, but it was definitely not a proper life form in that it was made up of shadows and unknown black smoke.
-Gaaa!
An unintelligible scream-like death rings out.
Their identities are the sentinels of thought.
They are the cursed dead who were unable to escape the nightmare and eventually lost their original selves.
They have only one purpose.
Putting survivors into a miserable situation like themselves.
For that, they poured in like a flood.
“Get out.”
Of course it didn’t work.
The storm of swords spread out and created a bitter wind.
Cut, slashed, crushed and withered.
Choi Si-woo, who had been moving forward at a steady pace for a while, soon slowly stopped.
A huge cocoon was in front of me.
The fragment of the nightmare I kept in my pocket resonated.
The cocoon, which was pulsing like a caterpillar waiting for its time to emerge, was giving off an unusual energy to anyone who could see it.
There was no doubt about it.
“… The second.”
I swung my sword quickly.
The outer wall of the cocoon split in half and a silver-haired girl was seen hanging out inside.
He must have been praying until the end, and in his hand was holding an amulet symbolizing the third great goddess, Irelua.
“Yurika. Yurika! Wake!”
“…… “
“Hey pig! Jokbal, bossam, pork belly! A lump of fat! “Come to your senses!”
“…… “
Even though I provoked this much, there was no response… He seems to be quite lost.
Choi Si-woo sighed and took out an old, shabby pocket watch.
I put it on Yurika’s face like I was crushing it.
[Use Mongma’s Pocket Watch (C+).]
An artifact obtained at the request of Chen Wei Guang.
It had the effect of entering the target’s dream and connecting their spirit.
Actually, I didn’t save it to use it for something like today…
‘Thanks to you, I survived.’
Crackling-!
When magical power was injected, the stationary second and minute hands of the clock rotated rapidly.
Soon, the pocket watch guided Choi Si-woo to Yurika’s image.

“…… “
Once again, I felt a unique sensation.
My head was pounding.
I frown involuntarily at the dreamy feeling of a thick, hazy fog forming before my eyes.
A dark room.
The eyes became accustomed to the darkness.
After a while, the familiar space of the room stands out.
You can see crosses and other sacred objects that are polluted and cannot function properly.
‘Irelua said it.’
You will even have to carry other people’s nightmares.
At the time, I was in such a hurry that I thought I would do it, but looking at this scene now, I could vaguely understand what it meant.
Just as he was thinking about what to do, a white arm was gently placed on his chest.
I could tell it was a woman’s arm from its thin, white, and soft curves.
A sweet yet strong scent wafts out.
“… “Are you awake already?”
A voice so captivating that the sound of jade rolling was heard.
Just the tone of her voice was full of lust, enough to make the man’s blood boil.
When she turned her gaze, she saw a silver-haired beauty with a faint smile on her lips.
Before her eyes was a saint who had completely lost her former penny-pinching, youthful feelings.
The body of feminine beauty had the beauty of a mythical statue.
Immediately after, she licked her lips with her tongue.
The image that was thought to be neat and clean just now suddenly collapses, and the lewdness of a prostitute recorded in history comes into the air.
Any man would lose his mind and become intoxicated by the two conflicting charms, but Choi Si-woo did not do that.
Because we already knew each other too well to be excited about something like that.
“Yurika.”
“… Oh my goodness. Be surprised Hasn’t it been a while since you called me by your name? Always a f*cking b*tch… “All they said was that she was a devil who would go to hell.”
“… Was it like that? Sorry.”
“…… “
Yurika’s eyes widen at that quiet word.
She smiled and then gently pressed her lips to his.
A fresh kiss, like that of lovers meeting each other for the first time.
But when she sticks out her tongue, her meaning changes.
Forcibly enters the mouth.
A violent kiss without the slightest consideration for the other person.
Saliva and saliva mix.
The tongue is entangled like a snake.
The flesh was shaking as if exploring the inside, filling the room with an obscene sound of water.
If you look at this point, you may think that they are lovers who truly love each other, or rather, a married couple, but the two knew it well.
This is just the first step to satisfy fleshly desires.
They do not love each other.
No, I couldn’t do it.
An irreversible river was already flowing between the two.
The two were exhausted.
I am just living to fulfill my last duty.
Even this s*xual act was nothing more than a ritual for one side to prolong life and for the other side to become even a little stronger.
It was the pitiful movements of the dead who lived simply because they could not die.
The bed sheets are wrinkled.
A masculinity that is like art achieved through extreme training and a beautiful femininity that seems to have been sculpted by God are greedily desired.
Choi Si-woo’s hands become rough.
Yurika’s moans fill her room.
Yurika, unable to control her s*xual desire, climbed on top of Choi Si-woo.
She extended her hands to her lower body to continue the task.
But that’s it.
Choi Si-woo, who held his hand and stopped him, quietly stood up.
“… Don’t you do it anymore? Or would you like me to give you a blowjob?”
“No… “The smell is so strong that I can’t do it.”
Yurika smiled bitterly at those words, as if she was sorry.
As Choi Si-woo mentioned, she had a rotten scent that contrasted with her beautiful body.
The discordant sound expressed by a body that is almost broken.
It was the terminal of dying cells that had been pickled with medicine.
In the end, it was Yurika who woke up first.
Sureuk.
Yurika, wearing a see-through white dress, muttered quietly while fixing her hair.
“Now that I think about it, I had something to talk about.”
“What is it?”
“He’s dead.”
“… Who.”
“Nam Gung-ryun.”
“…… “
At those words, the image of Nam Gung-ryun crying quietly in bed passed by.
Anyway, Yurika continued.
“The cause of death was suicide. She shot a hole in her own head with her pistol. It’s so vain, isn’t it? Who would have thought that the female, with her venom so high, would go away like that. If she’s going to die, she’ll kill at least one more person. “It is a truly luxurious death in this day and age.”
Yurika clicked her tongue and secretly examined Choi Si-woo’s complexion.
Her face is seen to be silent.
Although she seemed to have no particular reaction on the outside, Yurika knew well.
That is an emotion close to sadness and regret.
Yurika thought she was a bit fresh.
They are already accustomed to someone else’s death.
Many of the acquaintances I exchanged greetings with yesterday were left cold for just one day.
That’s why I became somber.
Life is weighed according to the value a person has.
Otherwise, I couldn’t endure it and couldn’t live.
Yurika took out the will written by Namgoong Ryun from her drawer and threw it to her.
“I left it only to you.”
“…… “
“You know what?”
“… “What?”
“Namgoongryun. I mean that woman. She came to visit me periodically. The reason for coming is truly awe-inspiring. “You’re telling me to let you go, right?”
“…… “
“She says she truly loves him, rather than a witch like me who was soaked in medicine and rolled over in the filth…” “Please stop mixing your bodies.”
A bewildering, mocking voice burst from Yurika’s mouth.
“She’s a stupid woman. Isn’t it? It’s not like we two like rolling around in bed, right? I was broken and had to mix with you in order to survive, and you made it a deal to sleep with me periodically to become even stronger… How dare you shout out love in a situation like this. “I guess that’s why I died because I had such an unfamiliar thing inside me.”
“…… “
Choi Si-woo, who had been silent, stood up from his seat.
Yes, the Yurika she knew was that kind of person.
A witch whose body and mind have completely collapsed.
She quietly changed her clothes.
She knew that opening up her emotions would be of no use… Because right now, at this very moment, the nightmare was ending.
‘Space becomes increasingly blurred.’
The more I talked to Yurika, the more the power of the world faded.
After a little more time, you will be able to enter the center where the fragments are.
It was the moment when I held on to the window frame to get some air.
“… “Actually, there’s one more thing I didn’t say.”
“… “Who else died?”
“No. It’s not that important… It’s a bit poetic. No, it’s not. Is it very important? I see. It’s important. Actually, I tried to handle it quietly alone, but still… “I thought you should know.”
After saying those last words, Yurika’s mouth did not open for a while.
“Yurika?”
“… No Face’s expedition and defeat is just around the corner… I feel sorry for saying this. Still… “I feel like I need to know.”
“What on earth are you doing so slow?”
“…… Pregnancy.”
“What?”
I turned around while asking a question.
You can see Yurika’s face, unable to tell whether she’s smiling or crying.
“… I’m pregnant. Your child… “
