115 – At the border between dreams and reality
A child smiling broadly with both hands stretched out. And a couple holding their child’s hand and walking forward.
The person who held her right hand was her mother, who had a warm smile.
The person holding her left hand was her father, who was smiling kindly.
The happy sight of someone growing up in the arms of their parents in a warm home.
It is a sight that other ordinary children would have experienced, and in some ways it is natural, but for the girl who is looking at it now, it is just a distant story.
“Oh my. “I finally succeeded.”
“…Uncle Sanghoon.”
“At my age, man… That’s enough.”
The child, Su-ah, looked at the happy child and her parents for a long time. I turned my back when I heard a voice coming from behind me.
“…You know? “This is a dream.”
“Yes.”
Suah already knew this was a dream.
Is it because she was subjected to all kinds of experiments as a test subject? In a way, that may be true. No matter how mentally strong a child may be, this is a space from which those who have been victimized for the first time cannot easily escape.
However, the reason she was able to realize it so quickly was-
“It doesn’t make sense that Eunji and Hyunwoo are my father and mother.”
Eun-ji and Hyun-woo are holding the two hands of the child who is now smiling as she is in her original form.
And before he knew it, his older brother, who was whining, was also Zero.
“Even if I have parents, I have never seen their faces. “You must be dreaming like this, right?”
“…I see.”
She has no memories of her parents. How could I remember my parents’ faces when I couldn’t even remember their names in the first place?
Even if I could remember, the memories of the period during which I was experimented on were so terrible that even happy memories could quickly be blown away.
“So, I already knew it was a dream.”
Yes. You probably knew it was a dream. No matter what the process of the experiment was, the result was that I gained strong abilities.
Ability is mental strength. In the end, Su-ah had a strong mentality, but she was far from an ordinary child.
“…Do you want to stay longer?”
“…No.”
But, despite that, she was still here watching it – why?
“It’s okay now. “I’m satisfied enough.”
And why are tears flowing from her eyes when she says it’s okay?
Since she didn’t know the answer, Su-ah shook her head vigorously and smiled.
“I’m still happy enough! Huh!”
Longing for something not obtained. Desire for family existence.
But there would be no need for that anymore, so Su-ah stood up and shouted.
“Because the brothers and sisters who are by my side now are my new family!”
“He’s not like a kid…”
Sang-hoon, who was watching this, smiled and held her small hand-
“Ah! “It’s the same for you too!”
“Why am I called an old man? There isn’t much of an age difference between them… Anyway, let’s go. “I don’t have time to be like this.”
Just like that, the world of dreams collapsed.
“…Are you awake?”
“Yes…”
“Really?”
“…Ah! What happened? “What about you?”
When I open my eyes, what I see is Sang-hoon’s face.
Su-ah answered his question by rubbing her eyes, perhaps because she had just woken up, but as soon as she came to her senses, she opened her eyes and looked around her –
“First of all, boss and all, please clean this up. “I’m going to break my back if I keep doing this.”
“…Ah.”
Only then did I realize what situation they were in and what they had done.
The entire surrounding area is a wall made of hardened blood.
She reflexively spread her protective shield at Hyunwoo’s shout, but what she missed was that Sanghun’s body holding her was so big.
Inside a prison made in the shape of her sphere, unlike Su-ah, who could stand up because it was her child’s body, there was Sang-hoon, half crumpled, hugging her.
“Uh… I’m sorry.”
“That’s it. “Thanks to you, I was able to be safe… Thanks to you, I was able to afford to bring you out of my dream.”
However, Sang-hoon considered this fortunate.
It was a little uncomfortable, but it kept my body safe during the time I was wandering in the dream, and it gave me time to use my abilities repeatedly.
“In a dream? Now that I think about it, the guy from earlier-“
“I succeeded on the 99th attempt, so I guess it was a 0.1% Chance… Anyway, I’ll explain it step by step later, so hurry up.”
“Ah, that’s right!”
Sang-hoon clicked his tongue as he looked at the dice rolling on the floor, but what was important now was his waist, so he asked Su-a again, and upon hearing his words, Su-a immediately made the surrounding protective shield disappear.
“Oh my. “I can live now.”
Sanghoon stood up and patted his back. He soon looked around,
“…And I know it’s late.”
I sighed when I realized that Hyunwoo was not there in the middle of the field of corpses covered in blood.
They first woke up and fought while they were asleep, and then moved places to divert attention from us.
Sang-hoon clicked his tongue and finished assessing the situation, then lowered his head and took out his cell phone-
“I guess I wasn’t good at jamming. No, there was no need to do it? Anyway, it’s good. “Suya!”
“Yes!”
After confirming Hyunwoo’s location using GPS, he immediately called Sua.
“Let’s go save our boss!”
“Hyeonwoo oppa?”
“If you say that somewhere, you’ll be in big trouble?”
“Oh, that’s right.”
It’s not that far away, so you should be able to find it quickly.
Sang-hoon immediately took out his revolver from his chest and began loading his bullets-
“Then this way… What are you doing now?”
“Ready!”
I turned around and looked at Su-ah and froze.
“Mister told me to go rescue him!”
“No, but-“
A fountain of blood rising and writhing.
Soon, the overflowing red liquid enveloped his and Su-ah’s bodies, and Sang-hoon, predicting what would happen in the future, fluttered his eyes and tried to shout something, but-
“Even if you just walk-“
“Then we should go quickly!”
“Wait! Wow!”
As if all my efforts were in vain, I had no choice but to keep my mouth shut as I started moving quickly as if I was water skiing.

What I remember is the inside of a narrow prison.
The girl who was trapped there repeatedly using her powers looked at the moon outside her open window and prayed earnestly.
How long will she have to be trapped here, and will she ever be able to escape from here?
Because she was captured by the villain, and because her abilities were discovered to be exploited, she sighed as she thought about that every day.
Isn’t it perhaps thanks to the young man who became her companion that she, an ordinary girl, was able to hold on to her hopes to this extent?
But even that was now reaching its limit.
A young man who needed money to cure his mother’s illness, and was therefore curious about her abilities.
Is it because of the sympathy she had for her, unlike other villains? He started to get closer and closer to her through conversations with her, and eventually even shared a promise with her to just wait a little while and that he would run away with her.
Of course, when he caught her stealing from her, he was locked in her prison and became in the same situation as her, and since even her hidden abilities were discovered, he is now facing the worst possible ending for her. We will meet you.
Am I destined to just become an experiment here?
Repeated confinement for over a year. A situation where nothing gets better as you live as an experiment, and the resulting despair is eating away at your heart.
Eugene had no choice but to pray to her God that day as she continued to look out her window, thinking of the word hope.
“…Then a miracle happened.”
And a miracle happened.
“It was really cool. hehehe.”
A disaster that suddenly struck.
But even if it was a disaster, it would only be a disaster for the villains.
Hyeonwoo stormed in, killed the villains, and immediately rescued Eugene.
At the point when he was trying to escape after rescuing his target, Eugene, he succeeded in rescuing Sang-hoon and escaping by granting her an unreasonable request.
At that time, Eugene began to follow him, believing that he was a gift from God, whom he had prayed for so much.
“So-“
Eugene laughed, recalling her memories from back then –
“Please don’t tarnish my memories with fantasies like this.”

I destroyed the space in front of me where she was smiling happily after marrying Sang-hoon.
Just like that, Eugene woke up for the first time and opened her eyes to her reality.
She immediately turned her head and looked at her Eunji who was sleeping in front of her –
“-Mental protection.”
As brilliant golden light emanated from her hand and enveloped Eunji’s body, Eunji immediately opened her eyes.
Eunji turned her head and Eugene met her eyes. Eyes meeting each other, silent conversation continuing. And-
Quaaang!
From Eunji’s outstretched hand, red flames exploded in all directions around her, and she burned the guys coming towards them.
“Cough. “These bastards are really vicious.”
“What do you think? “Are you awake?”
“I woke up first?”
“If I hadn’t used my powers, you would still be sleeping… More than that, next to me?”
“You’re sleeping very soundly. “I’m a newbie, so I want to be the first to stand up and fight…”
The burning people fall down without even screaming, and soon they scatter into the air, leaving only ashes behind.
A headache coming from using my abilities as soon as I woke up. Eun-ji, who was moaning while holding her head, began to grumble while looking at Yu-mi, who was still asleep, and Yu-jin walked up to Yu-mi and quietly extended her hand to the rose above her head.
“Mental Protection.”
“…Huh?!”
The rose crumbles in an instant, and Yumi soon comes to her senses and wakes up.
“Uh… Huh? Where? Mr. Hangyeol-“
“Tsk tsk. “I still can’t come to my senses.”
“……”
“Don’t say anything. “Because I’m sorry.”
And Eun-ji, who felt Eugene’s gaze glaring at her after saying something to Yu-mi, waved her hand and smiled bitterly as if she knew.
“Damn. What kind of monster are you? “It’s definitely your first time. How did you wake up so quickly?”
“It’s a difference in mental strength, right? “What on earth did you dream about?”
“Don’t ask…”
Definitely a technique that has been used once before. However, Eugene was the first to wake up from the dream. That’s because there really is a difference in mental strength.
Eunji smiled bitterly as she recalled Hyunwoo putting a ring on her hand, and then groaned while holding her head.
“More than that, what on earth is this?”
“…Do you think it’s me?”
“Gosh. After all, it’s hard to know unless you’re the boss… Yay! Now get up quickly!”
“Hangyeol… He had nice touch…”
“This b*tch is out of her mind. “Is your mind properly protected?”
“If it’s not God, it’s a technique that works properly, right?”
Eujin looking around in wonder, Eunji trying to understand the situation, and even Yumi still struggling.
“…Okay. “I guess I should go see the boss.”
“Yes. “We have to save the boss quickly-“
Eunji, who made the quickest decision among them, chose to go straight to Hyunwoo, and Eugene nodded and agreed with her opinion.
The most dangerous person right now is Hyunwoo. Of course, if they used this type of wide-area mental technology – the first thing they would target would be Repentance, who would be in their way, and their leader.
“You damn b*tch, don’t even lay a finger on the boss! “I’m going to burn those two damn watermelons!”
“……”
Of course, Eunji seemed to be worried about something else, but anyway.
“Let’s go quickly! “Oh, come to your senses!”
“aaah! …What? “Where?”
“Oh, you b*tch… I was so scared at first, but isn’t this just nonsense?!”
After Yumi came to her senses after Eunji hit her on the head, they immediately started moving in search of Hyunwoo –
“…What is this?”
“-This, really?”
When I finally got closer, I froze at the sight reflected in their eyes.
