100 – Identity (2)

> Dear.

> Is there any way to cancel the ability?

> I really hate to die like this…!

As Pandora’s mechanical sounds echo in the silent hallway, the concept of death tilts its head.

“Why are you so scared?”

> ?

“Do you hate me?”

Before long, at the question she asked, Pandora put on a puzzled look on her face.

> Are all things you hold with your hands dead…?

“But?”

> Am I going to die because you touched me right now…?

Then, the concept of her death, which was still staring at her, shook her head.

“You’re not going to die.”

> ???

Then, Pandora blinked her eyes for a moment and then looked down at her own body.

> Huh?

Even though it has been some time since she came into contact with the concept of death, a question mark that seems to be incomprehensible appears on her face as she watches her own body with a blank expression.

> Why don’t I give up?

“…….!”

Then, at the same time, a question mark appeared on her face, and Kang Ha-neul looked at Pandora, who was about to die of a dog out of nowhere, with a pale expression.

“That person said. The 4 Knights of the Apocalypse…? The abilities do not communicate with each other.”

> But…

“So my ability won’t work on you, right?”

> Why is the conclusion like that…!

As Pandora types with an expression that still doesn’t understand, the concept of death is taken for granted.

“You’ve been resisting that woman’s power since before.”

>Bo, you?

“Are you out of your mind like the guys in the back?”

Pandora shook her head quietly at that confident voice.

> Yeah, but I was away for a while because of a new game. Therefore, it is excluded from the target of ability.

“But those women are still out of their minds. They’re still under the influence of their powers. So it’s fair to say you and I are outliers.”

Her conception of death tells her that her own guess.

> Yeah, but I’m also a bit crazy.

> Ever since I came here, whenever I see the river, I get a strange feeling.

> I just want to be hugged, pounding, or even…

Then, Pandora lowered her eyes and tapped the batter with a slightly shy expression.

“…I don’t know about that, but right now, the priority is to figure out what abilities the enemy is using.”

She scratches her head for a moment, staring at her notion of death until finally giving up on her proper answer and turning her gaze to the heart in front of her eyes.

“Probably an AoE ability. But like all abilities, there will be penalties and weaknesses.”

“………”

“The process of preparing the ‘trigger’ to activate the ability, I think that’s his weakness. I don’t know what it is, but with this size and power, it’s quite complicated.”

Then, her heart that looked at her with her eyes that she was interested.

“Have we ever met?”

“No, but somehow it’s familiar. It’s like the knowledge of your powers is flowing into your head.”

“Hmm…”

“And also, I learned something in the lab. It teaches me basic common sense for survival.”

She tilted her head for a moment before opening her mouth with a cold smile.

“Well, I saw it properly.”

Pandora and Kang Ha-neul flinch slightly at those words.

“It’s been quite difficult for the past few days trying to match the trigger conditions for my ability.”

“That means…”

“Export all the men in the base except Kang Ha-neul, adjust the diet to make all the remaining women starve, and take control of the control room in that situation. A new rule is that the only food throughout the Dominating Hands is Kang Ha-neul. Until the declaration of…”

Heart, who muttered with a slightly tired expression, spoke with a satisfied expression.

“It’s been a pretty tough journey, but once it starts, you can’t stop it. My skills.”

> Well then…

“Even if you were safe outside around the time the famine started inside the Dominating Hands, you’re going to be stricken with famine the moment you step inside.”

At those words, Pandora gave a slightly dazed expression.

“Of course, it’s too hideous to see a man aiming at a man, and if he tries to come in, I’ll kill him.”

> Then I…

She starts tapping her batter excitedly, with eyes that she soon knew she would.

> As expected, I’ve been affected by the ability since earlier…!

“You haven’t even noticed until now?”

But while her mechanical sound is coming from a drone floating right next to her, Heart interjects with a slightly fed up expression.

“I think everyone in this room noticed it except you.”

From her mouth, quite shocking remarks flowed.

“You are also one of the four knights of the Apocalypse, Miss Pandora.”

And then it started, a moment of silence.

“An enemy knight of war, to be exact.”

> What the heck…?

“I can’t help but be less educated because I always watch cartoons or animations… Huhu.”

> Are you saying everything?

“Well, since he only used his amazing abilities for hacking, that’s understandable…”

Pandora’s face, which had been making a puzzled expression, slightly sulked, while cold sweat began to flow from Kang Ha-neul’s forehead.

“Then why me, Pandora, and the concept of death can move freely here…”

“Because we are all the same 4 knights. That’s the only reason.”

“…That’s ridiculous.”

“It’s really funny. Excluding the concept of death, as many as 3 beings who could destroy the world were lurking here…”

In the midst of all that, Pandora quietly watched and made a mechanical sound with a softly creeping voice.

> Hey guys. So i won’t die

“””………”””

> And why are you telling a story that only you know? I feel like I’m missing out on something…

She involuntarily steps forward to her, her river sky pulls her hastily to her own side, asks her heart beyond her.

“There must be evidence, right?”

“Where do you say that there is more accurate proof than the fact that neither the power of the concept of death nor mine work?”

“But…”

At the reply, Kang Ha-neul hesitated for a while.

“…My skills worked?”

“Hmm?”

“She had hypnotized her a few times for fun, but she was apparently in a trance.”

“………”

“And so are you.”

He asked with a lot of question marks on his face.

“It’s not just my ability that’s special, why…?”

“Poohup.”

“Hey there.”

“Puhehehehe…”

Then, Hart smiled darkly, covered his mouth, and burst into laughter.

“…In my case, of course it was acting.”

“What?”

“Unlike you, I knew who I was from the start. Pretending to be hypnotized was a piece of cake.”

“So, Pandora…?”

“That’s a little funny.”

She addresses her to Pandora, who is sweating and averting her gaze.

“The hypnosis app that you created, didn’t you add a back function?”

> I don’t know what you mean…!

Then she was startled and tried to ignore Hart’s words.

“I don’t know if it’s after we’ve gotten to know each other, but you made a hypnosis app for Kang Ha-neul the day after he entered the Dominating Hands. Of course you were on your guard and didn’t add such a function, right?”

“………”

“But, to say that I have been hypnotized without difficulty…”

Kang Ha-neul, who had been listening to Heart’s explanation, quietly took out a smartphone from her pocket and pushed it towards Pandora, who was holding it in her arms.

“…Uh.”

Then, she put her head forward to check the screen. Surprisingly, the moment she met Pandora’s face, her smartphone turned off.

“You know, you…”

“………..”

“…How many times have you been hypnotized, all of them acting?”

At those words, Pandora, completely limp, typed with trembling hands.

> Actually, I wasn’t hypnotized, but pretending to be hypnotized and acting to a hypnotist was my dream…

“………”

> But why do you hypnotize me and only do good things? Mental counseling, speaking practice, cooking delicious food, and talking about one’s troubles while drunk…

A silence slightly heavier than before began to flow through the corridor before long.

“…Ah, so cute.”

Heart, who had been looking at the river sky with an ecstatic expression for a while, starts muttering in a voice dripping with regret.

“Because they’re cute, I’ll make a special suggestion. If all three of you surrender right now, I won’t kill you.”

“Then?”

“They were captured alive, and all three went straight to the ‘laboratory’.”

Then the face of Pandora and the concept of death immediately turns blue.

> I don’t want to go back to that hell…

“…I hate it.”

“Let’s not fool each other.”

As Heart, who had been watching the scene quietly, slowly turned the scythe and started walking forward, Kang Ha-neul hurriedly raised his voice.

“…As you know, the concept of death doesn’t die. No matter how much you attack, it will attack you until you die.”

“I knew that, so I came armed.”

Then, Heart tapped her scythe and smiled coldly.

“This scythe I always carry, whose original is it?”

“That’s…”

Kang Ha-neul, who had personally investigated the ‘four knights of the apocalypse’ after the seminar incident, muttered with a hopeless expression.

“The weapon wielded by the Blue Knight of Death is often described as a scythe…”

“Have you studied?”

Then, looking at her river sky with her admirable eyes, she vigorously wielded her scythe once again.

– Kwadeudeuk…

“…Ugh.”

This time, the concept of death, which stepped forward and blocked the attack, staggered and gnashed its teeth and collapsed on its side.

“Recovery is slower than usual…”

“It’s none other than your weapon. It won’t kill you, but it’s powerful enough to harm you.”

That’s how she neutralized her concept of death in an instant, and started looking at the river and sky with a fishy smile while holding her Pandora in her arms.

“…Pandora.”

Kang Ha-neul, who intuited her fate that would happen in a few seconds, began to whisper in the ear of Pandora, who was terrified and trembling in her arms.

“I’m going to push you back now, so get out of here at full speed.”

“…….!”

“I’ll follow soon.”

Then, with her sweaty hands, she shook her head as she intertwined the pods in her hands of her river sky.

“I’m fine.”

– Burr…

“I will protect you.”

Her river sky, which had worked so hard to free the pod, muttered while looking at her empty space.

“…Everything has a way.”

[The system has been updated successfully.]

In front of his eyes, a message that had not been seen for a while appeared.

[Strike MAX]

[The user’s proficiency is insufficient.]

[Do you want to pay the price?]

[Yes/No]

“…….?”

Kang Ha-neul, who had been staring at the system in the air while swallowing dry saliva for a while, finally reached out to the message in front of her eyes and finally stroked Pandora’s head, just at that moment.

“What…”

Heart, who had raised her scythe, suddenly turned her head toward the wall with a puzzled look on her face.

– Gugwagwagwagwagwang!!!!

But before she can react, something unexpected happens.

“…4 Minutes 52 seconds.”

Because behind the thick wall of the hideout, which was destroyed in an instant, a red-haired girl started approaching them, exhaling life.

“We’ve reached it at last.”

“Hmmm.”

Behind her, Rumia sticks her head out and timidly shakes her hand.

“I brought reinforcements in case you didn’t know, is it okay? Senior…”

It was the appearance of the two main characters who had already gone wrong in the original development.
