123 – Building a Nest
The bunker that Viktor said he would pay in advance came into Jinseong’s hands within a few days.
Of course, it didn’t come perfectly into his hands.
Legally, it belonged to Victor.
But what does that mean?
Anyway, Viktor intends to give this to Jinseong, and the moment Jinseong becomes an adult, it will be completely in his hands.
The important thing is that the bunker is genuine.
And the bunker was in a very good location.
“You have a really nice chill.”
Jinseong looked at the blue lake reflecting the sky.
The lake was showing off its vastness with waves lapping far away as if it embraced the sky as it was, and he seemed to say that he was not a lake but a small sea by embracing islands here and there. In addition, a fish resembling a salmon was swimming under the rippling waves, and a seal was moving its body in pursuit of the busily swimming fish.
Then, as if he had missed it, he shuddered and came up to the surface, shaking his head once, twice, three times… After putting it in and taking it out several times, he calmed down his anger and went back in to find food.
It was a peaceful sight.
Jinseong approached Lake Baikal and recalled the water of the lake with a plastic cup.
The water of Lake Baikal, which was thought to be made of deep blue color, was so transparent.
It showed off its cleanliness by passing sunlight through it, and it looked similar to the water of the Alps that remained pure as it froze over time. In addition, the coldness was enough to raise one’s spirits, and the appearance of it fluttering in sync with the movement of Jinseong’s wrist was like a tempting dance that made me want to put it into my body.
As if Jinseong had failed the temptation, he let the water flow through his mouth.
But instead of enjoying the water of Lake Baikal like a gourmet, he busily moved his fingers and scratched all over his body. It was as if he was using his fingers like a brush to write on his skin, and sharp red scratches appeared one by one, forming the shape of letters on his body.
No.
Can this be expressed as a letter?
Can we call these things, which seem to have been made regular by arranging ice cubes, as letters?
Red scratch marks were carved on his body, rising and fading along with the flow of water, drawing pictures on his body. It resembled the strangely shaped scars that a person struck by lightning would have, and it resembled the shape of a frozen tree that was suddenly greeted by a cold wave, and it resembled the shape of a snow crystal seen through a microscope.
This is a letter, but not a letter.
It is infinitely close to a painting, but it has a meaning.
It created meaning by repeatedly appearing and disappearing from Jinseong’s body.
Jinseong walked towards the lake after confirming that he was full of red marks all over his body.
Its appearance was very similar to that of an old saint who was said to have walked on water.
With a splash.
Unlike Jin-seong, who performed a miracle, he fell helplessly into the lake.
His feet submerged in the cold water, then his legs, then his waist, then his neck.
As Jinseong walked, his body gradually became submerged.
But his steps were unsteady, and his breath was choking as he went deeper and deeper, submerged head to head. But the true nature is as if it were on landI wandered around in the water casually.
Could it be that he was grumpy?
The lake began to annoy Jinseong.
Waves rippling around her tightly shut mouth, trying to suffocate her lungs, and water slithers into her open nostrils, but she is blocked by something invisible and only hangs around at the entrance.
When the attempt to drown him using his own body failed, he reduced the light pouring down from above his head as if he had a heartache, and made all kinds of sediment float in the water along with Jinseong’s steps, dizzying his vision and trying to insert foreign substances into his eyes that were open and blue.
However, Jinseong burned all the foreign substances that were trying to come in with sparks in his eyes, and with his magic-enhanced eyes, he moved at the bottom of the lake full of darkness as if he were walking in broad daylight. And the fish that were attracted by the light of the flames in his eyes used magic that emitted weak electricity to chase them away and walked again and again.
How long did it take
A huge cliff appeared in front of Jinseong.
A cliff of an unimaginable size at the bottom of the lake.
Wouldn’t it look like this if the submarine canyon in the sea was reduced?
His eyes saw the incredible beauty that nature had sculpted, but the majestic and gigantic canyon that seemed impossible to create without nature sculpting it.
There was terrible darkness at the bottom of the canyon.
Bizarre-looking deep-sea fish roamed around like unclean things swimming in the dark, and the pure white sea snow, very similar to the snow that fell in winter, kept the nutrients that the corpse might have had earlier and was about to fall to the bottom.
A space full of darkness with white snow falling.
A space where you don’t know what kind of bizarre thing might be.
Jinseong looked at it quietly and then sat down in front of the cliff.
As he sat down, the sediment on the edge of the cliff moved and slightly fouled the water, which mixed with the sea snow and slowly sank to the bottom of the deep.
“—–.”
Jinseong looked at it and made his body vibrate.
The vibrations that started from his neck filled his stomach, and his lungs, which had shrunk under the pressure of the deep sea, moved with his vibrations and expelled air bubbles from inside his body. This is evidence of life that land creatures have, and it was also something that should not remain in his body in order to be conscious at the bottom of the lake.
Jin-seong felt his mind go into confusion as all the air in his lungs escaped.
Perhaps in just a little while, his consciousness would disappear completely, and the frigid water of the lake would fill his lungs and drown him. And some of his dead body will become the corpse of fish, and the rest will decompose over time and become snowflakes that fall into the deep sea and become food for other creatures.
Okay.
Surely it will.
So before he died he had to do what he deserved.
Fu-wook!
Jinseong inserted the syringe he had kept in his arms into his arm.
Then, he continued to take out syringes and insert them all over his body, but all of the places where they were stuck turned ugly into scratches. The injection inserted there supplied oxygen to Jinseong’s blood even though he was not breathing, and made his mind clear by resonating with the vibration that Jinseong continued to make.
Jinseong turned on his cross-legged seat and lifted his head slightly, looking up at him while sleeping.
The small light emitted by the fish attracted by darkness, floating objects, and the flames in his eyes.
Its appearance was similar to that of stars swimming in the sky.
The fish’s eyes became stars.
All things floating in the water became clouds.
The water in the lake became the air, and its flow became the wind.
It is like a cloud that is pushed by the wind, changing its shape and changing its position over and over again.
The movement of the fish is like the movement of the stars.
Jin-seong looked at it as if it were the meaning of the sky he had to read, and tried to read auspicious times for himself by using the sparks that exploded whenever a fish approached as a shooting star.
When no more fish approached, he lowered his head as if satisfied, and gazed at the snow hole.
Snow was falling in the hole at the bottom of the gorge, reminiscent of the mouth of a giant monster living in the deep sea.
There is no fairy who sprinkles snow, and there is no scissor hand that cuts clouds into pieces with scissors and drops them to the ground.
But where the snow falls is the cloud, and sitting on top of the cloud indicates that you can control the snow.
Right now at this moment.
Jinseong has become a body that can bear the cold.
“—–“
Jinseong quietly closed his eyes and made a vibration.
This vibration made the extremities of the body vibrate, unlike before, which vibrated the neck and stomach.
And with this vibration, the cold air contained in the water began to enter Jinseong’s body.
The cold did not stop entering his body.
As if it was supposed to be, it repeated going in and out of Jinseong’s body over and over again.
And when it was repeated several times, Jinseong’s ears started to get cold like ice.
Even though it didn’t turn bright red, it became cold enough to remind me of ice, and it hardened to the point where I wondered if it would break if I touched it. And starting with his ears, a cold feeling came over Jinseong’s bones, and a terrible pain that froze from the bone marrow covered his body.
