The Crazy Demigod Returns

remember

[…] … !]

The sound was not conveyed, but the scene where you can feel the intimidation enough spread through the world media, starting with Chinese public broadcasting.

The first reaction was, of course, astonishment.

That’s also true, monster hunting is done in the open world anytime, anywhere, but only a limited number of people could come into contact with the scene.

If the level is high, the video itself is cut according to the media review regulations, and even if it is not, more than half of it is mosaicized.

It makes sense since it is a series of brutal scenes with flesh and blood splattering from start to finish.

However, this Chinese public broadcasting station. So, to put it simply, the Chinese government released the entire video without any of that. without any editing.

It’s like saying, ‘Everyone should pay close attention to this video from start to finish.’

Of course, other media outlets and countries reproduced the press release after post-processing through editing, but close to 1 billion Chinese citizens have already watched the video. In addition, hundreds of millions of them redistributed the video, making it virtually meaningless.

At most, a monster the size of a human would appear and curiously watch the Awoken.

Like an elementary school student assembling Lego, he blasted them with his fists and feet.

He is satisfied as he looks around at the scenes he has decorated in the bloody scene.

Will anyone be able to maintain composure after seeing this grotesque scene?

At least Ha Yeon-woo appeared and overpowered the monster, and the people watching the video were relieved for a moment, but that was also for a while. Looking at the results of the research that followed at the end, I had no choice but to harden as it was.

[The monster’s unusual self-destruct attack. The Chinese government estimates that the attack had a destructive power similar to that of a 20MT-class nuclear weapon.]

Ha Yeon-woo, who was the same as blocking a nuclear weapon with his bare body, thought he was crazy, but it was also shocking that the monster’s single attack was equivalent to a nuclear explosion.

China’s intentions are obviously out of goodwill, unlike their usual.

And obviously, it was also true that there were many reactions that complained of anxiety about the seriousness of the situation or the political situation.

However, is it because it is a country with little memory of showing good intentions abroad? Or is it that the benefits they will get now are greater compared to the greater sign than ever that the world could perish?

keyboard or cell phone. Only the world on the screen is buzzing. Actual response was almost non-existent.

Rather, most of them were like, ‘So, when will Ha Yeon-woo, who entered the cube, come out?’ just repeating the same thing over and over again.

* * *

in high school. Ha Yeon-woo really liked psychology.

I hated incomprehensible situations or phenomena, but the sects and theories are incredibly diverse. Because I like to define.

Right or wrong didn’t matter.

Just like people who don’t believe in God get inner comfort from having at least one religion, it’s like following someone’s established. I liked to think.

And dreams appear incredibly often in such psychology.

I remember that I liked to connect all psychological problems with dreams, saying that dreams are my real unconscious, a window to look back on, and a device to peep on things like trauma.

As for why, at this timing of contacting me to get rid of the Cube, I remembered things that had happened more than a thousand years ago.

It was because Ha Yeon-woo was going through something similar.

[…] … Household credit, as of the end of last month, exceeded 1,900 trillion won. It is a whopping 450 trillion won in six years. The Bank of Korea lowered the base interest rate… .]

pop-

The apartment is neither too big nor too small, so it feels moderately cozy.

Ha Yeon-woo, who seems to be in his late 20s, and everything has not stopped at the age of 21, turned off the TV.

In the news report that lasted for several minutes, neither the Awoken nor the monsters nor the gate appeared.

Furthermore, looking at the appearance of myself, which I had never touched, I thought this was probably something close to a dream.

‘Is it a dream after the finger?’

Since the body did not exist, of course I could not speak or act.

It’s really like dreaming, limited contemplation, and only a little thought is possible.

“Should I say hello to Daddy?”

A woman holding a child approached another self as she put down the coffee and said.

‘… … !’

Oriental foreigners, exotic Asians. Both seem to fit. A dense face characterized by a large mouth.

A woman with a small stature and thin body, but moderately curvaceous, with a cute yet feminine charm.

And a little child of three or four years old, clutching her hand tightly and rubbing her eyes sleepily.

It was his family that he couldn’t help dreaming of.

“dad! Come on!”

Ha Yeon-woo smiled in his dream as he saw the scene where the still incorrect pronunciation of Korean looked even cuter.

“I will be back.”

A light kiss with my wife. When I went out the door after hugging my daughter, the warm sunlight was beating down through the hallway.

And the light was also sent to Ha Yeon-woo, who sees the dream as it is, and began to switch to another scene as if painting paint.

The point of change is inside the vehicle.

It’s not a luxurious sedan, but it’s an appropriate mid-size car that’s good for families.

“He eats really well.”

I could see the father giving small snacks that looked like he had bought them at a rest area to his granddaughter, and the daughter receiving and eating them with tight hands.

‘father… .’

Although he looks older and older than he is now as a 5th rank soldier, it would not be an illusion that he looks incomparably happier than ever.

His wife, who was in the back seat, also looked at her daughter lovingly.

If you have a body now. Both fists must have been full of strength.

so brilliant Because it was a sad scene again.

Is this why it is said that dreams are windows to the unconscious?

Arriving at the destination, looking at the surrounding scenery, eating delicious food, and lying down in a cozy accommodation, all those scenes were Ha Yeon-woo’s ideals and aspirations.

Lying in bed with his wife, with their daughter between them, they look at each other and smile.

Perhaps it was because of travel poisoning, they petted their daughter, who was sleeping with a gurgling sound, as if they were cute, and the wife opened her mouth.

“I must be busy with work… . I can’t even rest on the weekend and I’m tired, so what do I do?”

In her good heart that doesn’t take things for granted. Another Ha Yeon-woo lying down had a bright smile that he hadn’t even imagined.

“This is how I am happy.”

She made a face that seemed to be a satisfactory answer and carefully kissed her.

Because she was tired, she quickly fell asleep. Ha Yeon-woo also closed his eyes after watching her and her daughter sleeping for a while.

Again, the sight darkened.

It is beautiful and makes you feel fulfilled and pitiful at the same time. While reliving some miserable memories.

Slowly, my eyes began to brighten. Like opening closed eyes.

The world that unfolded again was not a peaceful Korea.

Familiar, so more terrible plate continent.

The view there, with no one in the family, was hellish enough, if not necessarily the happy scenes from before.

The reason why he thought so was because he was actually taking a look close to destruction.

Beyond the window, there were several huge pieces of meteorites that seemed to be unaffected by gravity.

Most of the buildings in sight were destroyed and weathering was in progress.

person? Not even a human being, not a single living creature existed around.

The earth was cracked apart as if it had reached the end of its lifespan, and only the occasional sound of something colliding and exploding could be heard.

Is this really a dream? Then, why is the imaginary plate continent this way?

In the middle of the confusion, the point of view changed so that he could finally contemplate himself, and his body appeared.

Sitting in a place that looks like a government building in a castle that is all collapsing.

fairly. No, objectively, it was gruesome enough to be close to the worst.

The two legs and left arm were completely cut off from the joint and disappeared. Only three fingers remained on his right hand.

The upper body seems to have been scooped out with a knife. One part was hollowed out, and the internal organs were empty. All that was left was a heart that never stopped beating.

Even so, life activity did not stop.

ears and teeth. His head, which had no eye in it, moved little by little, and his dry lips murmured.

“last… .”

with incomprehensible words. Another self playing with his fingers with mechanical movements that seem to have been repeated countless times before.

perseok-

Suddenly, a popping sound is heard, and dark bloody energy flows along the fingertips. obviously confused. It was also a marriage with a strong will enough to be called genuine.

A small crack in the direction the finger points.

‘gate?’

Clearly resembling a gate. It flowed like a blue current and opened its mouth a little.

From noble mtl dot com

Like a monster crossing a gate without a hit. Marriage also disappeared into it.

Took-

Another hand that was weakly dropped at almost the same timing.

The only thing I could rely on was the strength of my spine, which I was barely able to stand on, and the half-destroyed chair, my body began to lean sideways.

dump-

I just stared at it for tens of seconds. I don’t know if it’s correct to say that I’ve seen it because I don’t have a body or anything.

how much longer has it passed

In this space that is quite wide as it is supposed to be a royal castle. ‘Eyes’ appeared.

A huge eye appeared in the air without a hint, sign, or harbinger.

It collapsed on the floor and watched Ha Yeon-woo, who had passed away, and blinked his eyes a few times, which can be described as the body and everything, and then disappeared without a trace, similar to how it had come.

* * *

That was the end of the bizarre experience.

‘Cause I’m back to reality

Without even having time to figure out if the place the cube was in was right or how much time had passed, I was lost in thought on the spot.

Numerous gestures and hums from a fairly far distance were not important now.

Two completely opposite, kind of stories.

Both of these things have never happened before. There seemed to be no possibility of experiencing it in the future.

However, elements such as his grotesquely damaged figure, gate, and big eyes.

It didn’t feel like a dream, like a scene where I was simply spending time with my family.

The fact that all of this came from contacting the source of the cube was also one of the reasons why it was considered not just fiction.

“Source.”

Then I saw it was nowhere to be found. The source that I thought was the basis for maintaining the cube.

Seeing that there was no part of the body or at least not even a single stone. It seemed that this delusional panorama was all that was left of this cube.

happy scene. miserable world. broken body. Gate and marriage. Until the last unknown eyeball.

How much is the truth and how much is a lie? And what is the purpose of these phenomena that continue to appear?

What is clear is that the bodies from the first and second cubes were undoubtedly Ha Yeon-woo’s fingers.

From there, I organized my thoughts.

If what he had just seen was false, he didn’t even have to think about it. Because it’s something you can ignore.

So if you think it’s true.

“In reverse order.”

When I cut it one by one, it didn’t connect at all. If you think of the two together, you can draw a plausible picture.

second dream. Ha Yeon-woo, on that hellish continent, did something himself and muttered the last word, which was obviously close to suggesting death.

if that Or, what if the last dreamy imagination you had before you died was a life with your family on a peaceful Earth with no gates, no dimension travel, no monsters?

If you didn’t see two dreams, but if you saw the imagination of another self in one memory.

“memory… .”

While I was quickly organizing my thoughts. I was interrupted by the sight of someone approaching.

I didn’t have the energy to devise anything more because of the confusion anyway.

first. I decided to think of the source from this cube as ‘memory’.

“I-over there… .”

A Chinese person who speaks in poor Korean.

“I will go to the next cube. Clear around all the cubes in China.”

As for the answer, I decided to think about it by synthesizing the things I got by getting rid of the remaining cubes.

as soon as possible.
