134 – Dongmin Lee (69)
Dongmin Lee (69)
“According to the content of the side story, I would have killed Dongmin.”
Haerin Kang said.
“But I didn’t. Because Kang Hae-rin and I in 『Journal』 Who kill Dong-min are different. Just now, I wrote down a new sentence in my notebook so that you see me as Lee Da-mi. But you “Corrected” The perception in an instant. Do you know why?”
“………”
“Because I knew for myself that you were a character in a novel. Because you are wary of me, this tactic didn’t work.”
“………”
“Do you see why they call ‘you guys’ bugs?”
“………”
“With my laptop, I conceived the perfect plan to make Dongmin mine. That’s why I changed my plans. It gave us a chance to test our own hearts a little more actively. But there were occasional setbacks with bugs, bugs, and I figured this would be a big problem in the long run.”
Kang Haerin’s voice lowered.
Park Seong-gang closed his eyes.
As expected, wasn’t that a hallucination?
No, hallucinations are true.
Notebooks are more powerful than you think.
Its scope and intensity are unfathomable.
Honestly, novels become reality, no, if novels are ‘leaked’ into reality, there will come a time when reality is completely replaced by fiction.
So, do all humans become ‘characters’?
Are you becoming a character in a novel?
Park Seong-kang was uncharacteristically immersed in fanciful thoughts.
But what does ‘not like him’ mean?
The characters in novels usually move in one direction with a goal and have a desire.
However, real people are different.
They are inconsistent and contradictory.
Where is Park Seong-gang?
Notebooks change their minds.
If you live without perception, you will think as you live.
“………”
He looked back on the past like a kaleidoscope.
… Lee Da-mi, who was with the category-type, Park Seong-gang, chasing Kang Hae-rin with the category-type, Park Seong-gang, and Lee Da-mi, who was trying to save Lee Dong-min, was Kang Hae-rin herself?
It is not impossible with the power of a laptop.
… To be honest, I still can’t believe it, but Haerin Kang is clearly showing it.
… The laptop vividly relays Kang Hae-rin’s surroundings, and even some manipulations are possible.
… Kang Hae-rin is the main character.
… It will take a lot of strength to change the behavior of the characters in the novel, but what if it only takes your own determination?
… When Kang Hae-rin meets the notebook, she can achieve what she wants more easily.
In an instant, Park Seong-gang realized why he had heard Lee Dong-gwan and Jang Hye-ok’s murder scene, hearing Woo Sang-mi’s ‘Park Seong-jae’ remark, and seeing Lee Da-ami’s shape ‘distorted’.
At that moment, a certain ‘awareness’ came to mind.
‘Insects…’
Park Seong-gang remembered Kang Hae-rin’s words.
Whoever ‘they’ are, those who know about the 『Journal』 Have an influence regarding it.
That damn laptop keeps changing reality, but it’s the only way to resist it.
A moment when a character in a novel humbly accepts and realizes his or her identity, a gap arises.
Haerin Kang was afraid of that.
No, at least I was worried.
The ‘plan’ she refers to is probably to completely take over the unsure mind of Lee Dong-min as her own.
I have no strength, no will, to argue whether it is legitimate love or not.
However, she felt that the bugs were getting in the way of drawing large pictures on her laptop.
… So the conclusion we reached is-
“…Did you kill Idami?”
Park Seong-gang asked again.
This time, the voice was clear.
I don’t know if this was written on Kang Hae-rin’s notebook, but it didn’t matter anyway.
He definitely wanted to know this.
“…The characters in other novels are you?”
“Really, an uncomfortable setup.”
From noble mtl dot com
Haerin Kang looked at her laptop instead of answering.
Something was still written there.
Strong Rin approached it and tapped her key.
She and she showed up to Park Seong-gang.
[… Park Seong-gang realized that he was asking Lee Da-mi a question. “Did you kill Idami?”]
That sentence was deleted and then edited.
[… Seonggang Park asked. “Did you kill Idami?”]
Haerin Kang said.
“I’m not saying you’re just a puppet, Detective, don’t be too depressed. Just because the main character gets fans of the story doesn’t mean that the main character can do whatever he wants. You can’t write a completely distant future in advance. If it’s something related to myself, just ‘following’ as it is is enough to control the reactions of the people around me.”
“………”
“I’ve been studying without sleeping every night, but I can’t improve any more. Aren’t you curious? Why can I do what we ourselves cannot do?”
Wrong.
Kang Hae-rin was not listening to Park Seong-gang.
But I was curious.
If that laptop had originally belonged to Lee Dong-min, wouldn’t he have been able to use it more wisely?
The situation doesn’t have to get worse.
Ban Yi-jae, all the villains, and Kang Hae-rin all need to be controlled and organized with that laptop.
… Because he’s not the main character?
“I am the main character of 『Journal』. 『Journal』 Is the story of Kang Hae-rin. And ‘reality’, which is being written now, is also a story about a laptop that makes the novel a reality. Do you know what this means? Yes? Gee, my eyes are getting shut, but I’m relieved that I won’t die until I’m done talking.”
Kang Hae-rin typed something on her laptop.
He continued talking in that state.
“The main character carries a huge burden, but you know that he affects the story as much as he does. Originally, Kang Hae-rin is a character who gets stuck and is influenced by the rule of three strikes and Dong-min’s words, but she is ruled by that rule, but there is no way to overcome it, right? The laptop is a new rule of this worldview, so if you use it, it’s possible.”
“……”
“Do you know the difference between Lee Dong-min trying to control Kang Hae-rin’s behavior and Kang Hae-rin trying to control Kang Hae-rin’s behavior? Haerin Kang gave up on herself. In order to regain the power of Kang Hae-rin in 『Journal』.”
“……”
Strong Rin raised her head.
“I can write my own novel. And you just have to follow the flow of the novel thoroughly. The fact that you could continue to see me as Lee Da-mi is quite possible within the limits of Kang Hae-rin’s ‘ability’. How about a collaboration between the power to oversee the entire novel and the perfect setting that belongs to the character Kang Hae-rin?
Taking her hands off the keyboard of her laptop, Kang Hae-rin raised her voice, feeling her uncharacteristically elated.
How far she has come for this.
Just for this one scene.
“……”
But when she looked back, she saw that the audience who would listen to her wonderful plan, Park Seong-gang, had bitten her tongue and was dead.
“… It’s embarrassing to talk alone.”
She said quietly.
Tadat, tadat.
The lines and actions that Kang Hae-rin entered quickly were erased from the notebook in an instant and rewritten.
“…Did I explain too much?”
She sighed and let out a snort.
She put her hand on her waist and said.
“… I hate people who know too much.”
Bugs.
How many such beings are there in the world?
As much as the existence of damn illegal sharing sites and texts.
Virus distribution doesn’t kill all the bugs either.
… You can’t stop them.
… This is a fact that I realized from the beginning.
… Lee Dong-min is dreaming in vain.
… He didn’t try to wake up from his daydreams and was tortured with hopeless hope.
… This was the only option for Haerin Kang.
Kang Hae-rin looked at Park Seong-gang, who had died.
There was a sense of rebellion there.
Does it mean that you won’t be fooled by someone?
… And maybe that heart was conceived when he found out that he was a character in a novel.
Instead of Kanghae Rin choosing to passively seek Lee Dong-min’s love, just as she is determined to win it.
“………”
Kang Hae-rin, who was so excited about her acting team that Seong-gang Park suspected that it was mania, had a sullen face.
After a while, the unbearable pain came to mind.
Tadat, tadat.
The wine-red laptop started typing.
But Haerin Kang didn’t see it.
She just walked in front of the grinder, where there were still traces of it, and stood there dumbfounded, muttering.
A shape in which several circular barrels are interlocked.
The cutlery on the surface of that place had some of the meat that had been turned as a test sticking to it.
“… I haven’t killed yet.”
Her voice fell.
Kang Haerin kills every murder.
It’s not strange that she kills.
Three strikes.
It was a restrictive condition that Lee Dong-min placed on her.
There was something I didn’t tell Park Seong-gang.
Stronger Rin said that having her laptop made her a god, but she was still limited.
For example, even if she forced herself with a laptop, she couldn’t kill anyone ignoring that rule.
It seemed like it couldn’t be broken because it was a huge rule that had been passed down since the beginning of 『Journal』.
She had to protect Lee Dong-min, and she knew that it would take too much time and too many incidents to follow the rules step by step, but not to destroy them.
But she found a way.
If you can’t break the three-strike rule, just make your opponent break it.
“… I kept my promise to the end.”
Kang Hae-rin said without telling anyone.
She felt that it was the same as Park Seong-gang’s choice of dying himself.
She broke the rules within the rules.
It doesn’t matter whether Lee Dong-min likes this or not, whether the people watching this like it or not.
Kang Hae-rin stepped on the stairs of the underground torture chamber and went up.
