76 – The main character always appears late
“You know the rules, right? Now, select one of the next offerings with your hands.”
At the fanatic’s words, everyone in the prison looked at each other.
It was natural.
Because no one wants to die
Of course, if you stay here, you are destined to die sooner or later.
It is human nature to want to live as long as possible.
However, my conscience pricked me to ask him to take someone else.
If you face a headwind, you may be singled out.
For such various reasons, it was a time when people were desperately hoping for someone to step up while maintaining silence and tension.
“I’ll go.”
Suddenly, there was a person who raised his hand and wanted to die.
It was Kim Eun-byul, who had just entered prison.
Fanatics, as well as people, looked at her with surprising faces.
Hyena held her hand tightly with a worried expression.
“Uh, sister…what does that mean all of a sudden?”
“Someone has to go anyway. Then it’s best for me to go. Even if you survive… … . Because I can’t go anywhere.”
the power of evil spirits.
It was both a curse and a blessing for Kim Eun-byul.
If her traits had been activated, she would have been attacked by the enchanted the moment she entered this prison.
Paradoxically, the reason why she can be comfortable like this is because the ‘power of the evil spirit’ was blocking her characteristic.
But what if this quest is over?
‘I will be worshiped by crazy people.’
There was no way I could go anywhere in that state of mind.
It would be a nuisance to Ji-hoon and the others.
As long as this trait is present, it is impossible to become close with others no matter how much time passes.
However, it is not possible to force sacrifices on both of them.
Although I feel very sorry for the colleagues I met after a long time.
In the end, he was unable to go anywhere and had to continue living here alone.
Such a life, frankly, is as good as dead.
I didn’t want to die, but I wasn’t obsessed with this kind of life either.
‘I’m glad though. Thanks to that, I can sacrifice without regret.’
If you don’t have these characteristics yourself.
If you didn’t know Hye-na’s feelings for Ji-hoon at all.
Still, could he have been so willing to go out?
‘Certainly not.’
He probably did not give up and continued to cling to life.
Because she also liked Ji-hoon and Hye-na so much.
That’s why it was fortunate.
For the first and last time, I was able to really do things like a saint.
“But your sister doesn’t have to do that. I’d rather go… … .”
“Do not worry. They say sacrifices are pure. Would you rather die anyway?”
Eunbyul Kim said that and winked mischievously.
“I’m really fine, so don’t worry about it. Do you know anything else? If you are captured like a princess, Jihoon-ssi will come to rescue you nicely.”
Eunbyul smiled and forcibly removed Hyena’s hand.
I walked straight to the door.
“what are you doing? Not taking it quickly.”
Eunbyeol’s expression was so calm that it was hard to believe that she was going to die.
The zealot who checked his face lightly clicked his tongue.
“Sheesh! I wanted to see them fight each other, but it’s a pity. Well, it’s still a sacrifice that evil spirits want.”

Kim Eun-byeol was dragged away with her hands tied with ropes.
Upon arrival, quite a number of fanatics gathered.
In the center stands a splendidly decorated person who appears to be a religious leader.
A scaffold was prepared in front of him.
I even felt a sense of intimidation from the executioner wearing a black cloth and holding an axe.
The atmosphere is different.
His shoulders trembled involuntarily at the fear that slowly crept up his body.
‘I’m scared… … .’
No matter how much you decide to die, it is not that you are not afraid of death.
All the more so if it was a dog death that became a spectacle for madmen.
I tried to calm myself down somehow.
My heart skipped a beat when I saw the person who would kill me right in front of me.
On the one hand, it was also reassuring.
Because Hye-na, younger than herself, didn’t have to feel this way.
“Holy servants of the evil god! Finally, an offering that satisfies the evil god has appeared!!”
“Waaa!”
When the religious leader shouted, the fanatics around him screamed, not knowing if it was joy or curse.
The word “crazy” fits so well.
“The evil god wants it! More blood! A sublime offering! strong human! And the heathen who rebel against him! Here’s a woman for it all!”
“Ooooh!”
“Death to the heathen!”
“Glory to the evil god!”
The cries of those surrounded by madness were enough to make listeners sick of it.
Even more so, all those ugly feelings are directed only towards you.
I thought I had already made up my mind.
Looking at that image, I feel that the walls in my heart that I have built so far are collapsing.
‘Isn’t Ji-Hoon… not able to come?’
A smile comes out to myself who was expecting a bit.
He’s not the main character in a novel.
There was no way he could defeat that number in an instant.
Even if he did come, he would have already died.
‘I too… have a lot of regrets until the end.’
Even though he knew that he was a latecomer for a long time.
To the topic that I boldly said I would support with my mouth.
I guess I couldn’t give up completely.
Still… I wanted to see your face one last time.
“Hurry up, walk fast!”
“Ugh! Okay, so don’t rush!”
However, when the fanatic pulled the rope roughly, he had no choice but to be dragged away.
Still, when I thought of Jihoon, my heart suddenly began to feel at ease.
Why do I feel this way for someone I haven’t even met yet?
Feeling a little strange, Eunbyeol walked slowly.
“Ugh!”
The fanatic forced her to sit on the scaffold.
The executioner was holding the ax so that he could wield it right away.
“Kill! Kill! Kill!”
“Death to the heathen!”
“Glory to the evil god!”
The cries of the fanatics, which had been noisy earlier, were gradually audible.
It’s just a noise similar to that of an insect.
‘Huh, when Ji-Hoon arrives, you’re done too.’
Suddenly, I thought about it casually.
I thought it was strange to see Hye-na trusting Ji-hoon to the extent of being amazing.
At some point, he was doing it himself.
“Kim Eun-byeol, but you lived hard all this time, right?”
Destruction began and he continued to avoid zombies and survive unsightly.
Then I finally met someone I could share my heart with.
‘But now you’re dying like this. Ah… that’s a bit unfair.’
When people die, where is the order?
The nun who gave her life for herself, and the other people who were torn apart by zombies.
I wouldn’t have thought that everyone wanted to die.
This time it was just his turn.
But now there are two people who will mourn his death.
‘It was said in One Piece that people die completely if they are forgotten.’
Will Ji-hoon and Hye-na remember them to the end?
Probably. Because the two of them are kind.
So it wasn’t a very bad life.
I decided to think so.
“…Did you make a sacrifice?”
“Yes, that is correct.”
Suddenly, the executioner next to him started talking.
Contrary to what it looks like, I was a bit surprised that it was pretty.
“…Poor you.”
“If you think so, why don’t you let me go? There are fanatics who sympathize with sacrifices.”
“It’s obvious if you don’t look. Your colleague must have abandoned you and ran away. To die because of a trusted colleague. What a pitiful life.”
“Don’t talk nonsense if you don’t know anything.”
Eunbyul Kim snorted lightly.
“Meeting him helped me get out of church and feel alive again. Even though it turned out this way, I never regret meeting that person.”
“… … .”
As if there was no answer to return, the executioner did not say anything.
“What are you doing! Go ahead and kill the sacrifice! Glory to the evil god!”
““Glory to the evil god!!””
The only time he spoke again was when the religious leader hastened his execution.
“Thank you for thinking that way.”
“……uh?”
Eunbyul Kim raised her head in surprise.
What came out of his mouth was…a voice he had become accustomed to.
– Flutter!
The executioner took off the black cloth covering him and threw it away.
The man who appeared there was holding his weapon, a baseball bat, and standing with his signature confident expression.
the moment you see that face.
Eunbyul burst into tears without realizing it.
‘Mistress, I can’t even pay for my age, what is this?’
I don’t know why I’m crying
I think I’m happy to see the face I’ve been wanting to see for the last time.
Even in this situation, it seems that he was relieved by his appearance.
It was clear that my heart was overflowing with joy.
“Forgive me for being late. It took me a while to prepare.”
“Because you came… I’ll forgive you.”
Watching Eunbyul answer with a voice mixed with tears, Jihoon smiled.
“If it is about characteristics, there must be a way to solve it. I will look for it too.”
After saying that, Jihoon turned his head again.
It had changed into that of a warrior before he knew it.
“So, first think about surviving.”
“This pagan dares to perform a sacred sacrifice ceremony…!”
Towards the teacher who belatedly figured out the situation and shouted.
Jihoon threw the execution ax he was holding at once.
– Booung!
“What?! Whoops!”
The instructor urgently opened the shield, but to no avail.
The ax shattered the shield and cut off the left arm of the leader.
“Quaaagh!”
His arm fell to the floor, and blood gushed out like a fountain.
Although he wouldn’t die to such an extent that he was a person who could become a religious leader.
Still, there won’t be any damage.
“My arms! Shit! my arm!”
“What did you do with one arm when you sacrificed dozens of people?”
Looking at the fanatics shouting something mixed with anger and bewilderment.
Jihoon took a baseball bat and walked forward.
“Do you think you can live like this! There are dozens of church members here! Even if you survive in vain, the evil spirit will not forgive you!”
“Ah, you guys are goddamn.”
“What?”
– Kwaaang!
Suddenly, one of the walls of the execution hall was shattered.
An ambulance popped out and blew away some of the fanatics in front.
At the same time, people poured out through the hole created by the wind.
“Wow! these madmen! How dare you lock us up!”
“It’s our turn this time, you beggars!”
Those who all of them were in prison.
They, who should have died helplessly without skill, were attacking the fanatics again.
There were several weapons in their hands, or light emanated from them.
It is absolutely not a battle that ordinary people can show.
Seeing this, the teacher widened his eyes.
“No, nonsense! How can a human being use a skill in front of the power of an evil god!”
“How, what, how? It’s because your god got caught using cheats and was blocked by the server master.”
“What, what? yes man! Are you insulting our god!”
“I’m not insulting your god, but I’ve got a dog and it happened to be your god.”
Answering without hesitation, Jihoon lifted the baseball bat.
“Okay, let’s get you right for now.”
