330 – EP.12 NB-20381019-2
***
I just overslept today. Because it was dark outside, I thought it was still dawn.
But when I looked at the clock, it was already past noon, and there was a ribbon hanging on the tree branch, as if NB had headed to Aaru.
I thought the same day started like that.
I ate the brunch prepared by NB and then cleaned the inside of the base.
And when I pulled up the tent for ventilation, there were clouds before my eyes.
A cloud made up of cold silver bodies was slowly approaching this way.
– Wooooow
And a sound came from the cloud.
An unpleasant and eerie mechanical sound.
The blood dried all over my body, and my heart began to pound.
Yes, this familiar feeling speaks for itself.
Another crisis has arrived.
I opened the lid of the horse barrel and scattered it around the base.
Gasoline gave off a bad smell, drenching the base here and there.
– Wooooow
While the boy was being swayed around by the horse barrel, which was difficult for his body to control, the mechanical sound made by the drone was getting closer and closer.
“Please!”
I prayed to the sky without knowing who I was praying to.
As if my earnest wish had reached me, I was able to spray all the gasoline in the horse barrel.
I took a matchstick and turned on the light.
Then he threw it on the floor without even looking back. We left Base A-11, leaving behind the slowly spreading fire.
Go down the rough stairs and enter the long reed field.
The mechanical sounds that were getting closer were now heard far away.
As I tried to break through the strong reeds with my small body, small wounds began to form on my body.
Blood flowed from a shallow cut, and my knee was bruised when I fell because of my loose leg.
However, it was an insignificant wound, and it was the lightest wound I got while wandering the dimension.
– Wooooow
The sound that was distant is getting closer again.
I raised my small body and ran frantically.
I ran and ran through the reeds, remembering the map that NB showed me.
“Left from here!”
Slowly turn left and head deeper.
A-32 base, like A-11 base, is located close to Aaru.
The difference is that the A-32 is located in an underground bunker. It is said to be a bunker that NB put a lot of effort into creating.
When you enter the entrance connected to the bunker, you will come across a complicated passage, and one of the passages is said to lead to the base.
It is said that other passages were connected to bases inside Aaru, but it is said that the passages became useless after all the bases inside Aaru were destroyed.
“Gasp… Gasp….”
I was out of breath, so I paused for a moment and caught my breath.
I ran hard on my short legs, but the entrance to the base was still far away.
Drones seem to have almost been left behind, but that doesn’t mean they should just stay here.
This is the reason Aaru was created in the first place. Everything outside of Aaru is dangerous.
If time passes, I don’t know how the dangers of the wasteland may threaten me.
“I have to keep going….”
I just don’t have the strength.
I grit my teeth and move my feet. It feels like my lungs are going to burst, but I somehow manage to move my body.
I slowly headed towards the base, and only after a long time did I see the entrance to the hidden base.
Remove the tent that covered the base and unlock the lock. When I opened the door, the musty smell of the basement hit my nose.
Normally, I would have been reluctant to go in, but now was no time to choose between cold and hot food.
The moment I took my steps to enter the passage, I heard a voice calling me from far away.
“Kang In-ho.”
A voice without pitch. It was NB.
“N.B.”
“You’re safe. I’m glad.”
NB approached me from afar and kept talking to me. Every time NB moved, the large backpack he was carrying bobbed up and down.
I approached NB with a happy heart,
“Huh?”
I was able to find a silver machine floating behind the hidden backpack.
It was definitely a drone. How did they fool NB?
NB still didn’t notice, he was just approaching me talking to me.
– Clap!
The light on the drone turned red.
I knew right away that it was not a good sign.
“Damage!!”
I push NB away and stand in the place where NB was.
With a tremendous sound, my body floats and flies backwards.
“Kang In-ho!”
NB’s voice was heard. For some reason, it sounded to me like a voice shouting urgently.
***
Inside the collapsing chapel, two nuns were facing each other.
“There’s so much I want to say.”
A nun said that it looked like a calm lake, but the nun across from her did not know how much anger was seething beneath the lake.
“I know. You must be confused.”
“The two who suddenly appeared suddenly disappeared again. Is this also your will?”
When the blonde nun asked, the nun across from her smiled bitterly.
Now you don’t say, ‘Is this God’s will?’
“It is the will of someone higher than me.”
“So, does that mean that because of the will of the High One, I cannot go to find the Holy Son? If you, a fellow ‘god,’ could do it, wouldn’t you?”
In response to the nun’s repeated accusation, God, who had descended in human form, only smiled bitterly.
“Sister Maria.”
“Please leave out the title ‘sister.'”
“…Mortal Mary. Everything I planned through you has come true. The corrupt religion has fallen, and a new order will be established in the world.”
“…….”
“I offer my deepest condolences to you for having had to endure so much pain according to my will.”
“…….”
The blonde nun said nothing.
God made her kneel and show respect.
“So now, I hope you shed the burden that has been placed on you and find your own life. If that’s what you want, I’ll listen positively. If you want a peaceful life, I can give it to you.”
“Did you know that I would like it if you made my life like this and now rewarded me as if I were being generous?”
“Maria… I didn’t mean it that way…”
A great sword fell in front of the explaining god.
“Maria!!”
As Solari shouted, enraged by her sudden attack, the blonde nun pulled out the great sword from her floor and looked at the Absolute of her own world with her murky eyes.
“If it’s not something that can be sent to the saint… Nothing else is worthless.”
Once again the great sword fell towards Solari.
maria is very loyal :v
