130 – Invisible Victory (4)
Grid intended to get Jinwoo out of his body so that he could escape if there was any problem.
So this time, Jinwoo’s body was left intact and the volume was increased using the monster’s core.
It is as if Jin-woo became the pilot of a giant monster.
Grid, who was fighting with Jinwoo stored in his chest, felt death the moment he met eyes with the being that appeared right after defeating the enemy.
So, a hard carapace, which is normally only created on the surface, was created from the inside of the chest to cover Jinwoo.
Then, as the spider-shaped monster did, he drew energy by transforming the shape of his chest.
The enormous energy that radiated from First’s fist and the energy gathered around his chest collided.
Jinwu’s body, which was surrounded by several layers of hard carapace, was blown away by the power of the two energies colliding.
With that, Jinwoo and Grid were able to escape from First.
But that was it.
Jinwu’s body, which had lost consciousness, had already been considerably eaten by the monster factor.
So I had to hurry away from Jin-Woo’s body, but Jin-Woo’s condition was so amazing that he was alive, so I couldn’t get him out.
Just as someone saved Jee-eun’s life by parasitizing on another host’s body, his body must be treated from the outside.
But the odds were slim.
With the appearance of the S-class monster, most of the humans were hiding in underground shelters.
Even those who were in Gangnam-gu and couldn’t escape could not be found around here.
No matter how many people in Korea suffer from insensitivity to safety, there will be no crazy people approaching the Han River in this situation.
ㅡ Wrong….
I feel that Jin-Woo’s psychic powers are exerting weak power to protect Jin-Woo’s body unconsciously.
But before long, Jin-woo’s body is completely exposed to the monster factor, and he becomes a being that can no longer be called a human being.
Then even the grid will be in a state where it can no longer maintain its intelligence.
ㅡ Short but enjoyable, Brave.
A monster who was destined to live by orders and die by instinct.
A human being who was just destined to live a carefree life and live a life similar to others.
Two dissimilar people met and dreamed the same dream.
ㅡ Being a hero is really difficult.
Grid recalled the moment he had cornered the S-class monster a little while ago.
It was overwhelming.
A sense of omnipotence, as if he could do anything, made the invisible thing called the soul tremble.
I felt like I wanted to let go of my reason as it was, intoxicated by that power.
On the other hand, what about heroes?
There are many restrictions, you have to pay attention to your reputation, and the rewards are tight.
From Grid’s point of view, who likes thrilling things, the hero was a truly damned being.
But Grid enjoyed being a hero with Jinwoo rather than becoming a monster and defeating an S-class monster.
Maybe he liked that kind of sh*t, Grid let out a self-deprecating laugh.
The Republic of Korea, where Jinwoo lives, had relatively little room for life compared to people from other countries, perhaps because the territory was small.
If there is a single word that can express Korea and Koreans, I thought that grid would be ‘efficiency’.
In other words, cost performance.
Efficiency-oriented society that achieves maximum results with relatively little effort.
And the people who live in such a society.
That was Grid’s own definition of Korea and the people living in Korea.
However, such words could not perfectly define Korea.
Because there were people who had supported the baseball team for over 10 years.
Underdog sensitivity.
Sensibility to pity and support the losers.
An emotion that shouldn’t exist for a monster who only exists with instinct and the logic of power.
Grid fell for the hero who was confident in front of the strong and generous to the weak rather than overpowering the opponent with overwhelming power.
At first, it was because the host named Jinwoo was interested in him.
Then it was because of a strange part I discovered while studying Korean society.
But now Grid has become the one I care about the most.
ㅡ You were different.
We wanted to become heroes together, but Jinwoo and Grid were different.
Greed used to make the extremely rational choice of giving up on a fight with no chance.
But Jinwoo always stood up and moved forward even when there was no chance of winning.
That’s right along with the word hero.
Grid was inspired by that appearance and decided to fight with Jinwoo, who might die.
ㅡ I guess that ends here.
The two of them crossed the line of fire several times and finally reached the end.
If things go on like this, Jinwoo will completely lose his reason and become a new monster.
Then I’ll reveal it to the people I loved so much.
And sooner or later, the people I loved so much will take my life away.
Grid did not want to see such a future.
ㅡ I am different from you, Brave.
We had the same dream in one body and went in the same direction, but Grid was a little more realistic than Jinwoo.
If Jinwoo and Grid were in opposite positions, Jinwu would have endured a little longer waiting for a miracle.
However, in an emotional yet critical moment, the rational Grid did not wait for a miracle.
ㅡ A monster who commits suicide… It’s an overseas topic.
If Jin-Woo is abandoned, he can survive a little longer.
If Jin-woo, who has become a monster, takes away his ego, he can become a stronger monster.
Even with such an option, Grid chose to co-destroy Jinwoo.
It was the moment when Grid tried to take the life of Jin-Woo, who was breathing shallowly while recalling the past.
“Brother Jinwoo!”
I heard someone calling Jinwoo.
ㅡ Why?
That’s an existence that shouldn’t exist here.
It was Yuna Seo.
***
For some reason, her heart was turbulent, Yuna hurried her steps, and soon she was able to arrive at the riverbank she saw with her future foreknowledge.
And she was able to find Jin-woo pouring blood there.
“Brother Jinwoo!”
Yuna hurriedly ran to Jin-Woo and she tried to hold Jin-Woo in her arms.
“Ugh!”
It’s heavy.
I heard that Jin-woo weighed quite a bit, but Jin-woo, who had lost consciousness, was so heavy that he could only lift his head.
Yuna carefully turned her head to her side so that the blood coming out of Jin-wu’s mouth would not block Jin-wu’s airway.
Yuna’s heart grew more turbulent.
I haven’t seen the future after this.
I don’t know if Jinwoo is fine or not.
Still, I had an ominous feeling that Jin-wu might die if left as it is.
‘Uh, uh, uh uh….’
What should I do in this situation?
Should I call an ambulance?
Yuna looked around her.
A river was flowing everywhere, and in the direction Yuna had just walked, she could see the devastated Gangnam.
‘Should I call you in this situation?’
With my future foreknowledge, I couldn’t see the scene after this.
Yuna’s future foreknowledge is not just a future foresight, but a future poem.
She uses her future foresight ability, which is the ability to choose the future she wants.
That means once you get here, everything will go smoothly.
What should I do here?
It was such a worrying moment.
“Do you want to save Brave?”
Suddenly, a voice came from somewhere.
A voice I heard somewhere.
It must be the voice of a bodyguard named Go Eun-seol….
Yuna turned her attention to her voice.
But she couldn’t find Eunseol anywhere.
“Here.”
While thinking about what this was all about, something suddenly appeared in front of Yuna’s eyes.
“Uh… aaagh!”
It was a strange creature with only a mouth attached to what looked like long tentacles.
“Monster, monster!”
“I asked if I wanted to save Brave.”
Yuna’s hair turned white when the monster appeared, but the moment she heard the name Brave, she immediately came to her senses.
“Ji, will you save Jinwoo?”
“If we go on like this, Brave will die. Or I will become a monster.”
“Uh, what should I do?!”
Jin-woo dies.
We need to stop that much.
Yuna asked how to save Jin-woo, forgetting that her opponent was a monster.
“Close your eyes and accept me. Then Brave lives.”
“Ha, I will!”
Yuna decided to act according to her intuition that this would be the only way to save Jin-woo.
Because she felt close to the certainty that she would not be able to save the dying Jin-wu by any other means.
Before the grid changed Yuna’s mind, she quickly got out of Jinwu’s body and stuck to Yuna’s body.
“Ugh… !”
ㅡ Hurry up and move the Brave!
“Yes, yes!”
The grid, which was attached to Yuna’s body in a suit-like form, began to run while holding Jin-Woo in her arms.
In the new Brave Belt, there are 4 unused monster cores left.
If you use that core, you can save the dying Jin-Woo.
Greed ran through the ruined city with Yuna.
***
Yuna, who was so flustered that she couldn’t figure out what the situation was, slowly began to understand the situation as she watched her limbs move freely.
‘Eun-seol was a monster.’
The strange atmosphere I felt when we sat across from each other on the plane.
‘Mr. Jieun must have known.’
Ji-Eun knew that Jin-Woo’s body was inhabited by a monster.
‘He’s a bodyguard, but he wasn’t with us.’
In the meantime, it must have been a parasite on Jinwoo’s body.
‘Jinwoo oppa is a monster….’
I don’t know when Jinwoo became a monster.
But what’s certain is that it didn’t happen in a day or two.
Perhaps all of these strange things that happened around Jinwoo were related to the monster.
If so, we come to the conclusion that Jin-woo was already a monster from the moment we first met.
‘But… doesn’t care.’
It was not a matter of reason or logic.
It was just nice.
She fell in love at first sight with the person who saved her.
She pushes her elongated back, saying that if this person had a strangely good feeling from before, she would be fine.
Yuna decided to follow that hunch.
‘Isn’t it okay to see that scary person living peacefully? No, isn’t he a monster too?’
Because Yuna is thinking such a little crazy, her body stopped moving in one place before she knew it.
ㅡ Here.
The grid pointed to a small hole made by the strangely balanced debris.
Yuna nodded her head and put her body through the hole.
She And She There she was able to find the Brave Belt that had been left haphazardly.
ㅡ Are you ready?
“Yes!”
If you can save Jinwoo… !
Yuna thought about that and she just quietly closed her eyes.
She—-Keep your eyes closed.
It wouldn’t be a very nice sight.
Grid said that and took out all the cores from her belt.
Yuna tilted her head at first because she didn’t know what that meant, but within a minute she closed her eyes tightly.
‘aaa!’
No matter how risky she was, she couldn’t bear the shocking sight of blood splattering everywhere.
“This is good, right?!”
With her eyes tightly closed, Yuna had no choice but to shout.
She—-exposed organs that had already died and could not be regenerated and recreated them.
Yuna gave up on her idea.
Because there were so many things going on at the same time that I couldn’t stay sane any longer.
