chapter 43
43 – A Night in Hyperion Castle – 8
“Ga…Gaonah…?”
After Alex was killed by the Void Window, Lee Seo-yoon looked at me with disbelief.
Certainly, it was surprising from Seoyoon’s point of view because I, whom she thought would be on Earth, suddenly appeared like a hero.
“It’s been a while. Well, it’s been less than a month.”
“I…Really…Gaon?…I’m not dreaming right now…?”
“Then what am I fake?”
With my eyes wide open, I approached Seoyoon, who still didn’t believe me, and used [Purity].
“This…Is this…?”
“I’m going to clean it up because there might be something dirty on it. But could you put some clothes on?”
“Eh…?”
After hearing my words, Seoyoon noticed that her top was half removed, revealing her underwear.
“Ahh…!”
“I’ll turn around, change slowly.”
Since I was a sweet gentleman in Korea, I decided to look behind Seoyoon Lee while she dressed up.
“Come on, dress properly.”
“…Thank you…”
Lee Seo-yoon stood up when I turned my back and began to straighten her clothes.
Evil… Evil…
I heard the urge to look back at the sound of clothes rubbing in between, but I managed to hold it back thanks to the effect of [Cool Mind].
Lee Seo-yoon started to ask me questions while arranging her clothes properly.
“…But Gaon…You clicked on that site too…?”
“Uh.”
“…Is this the site you got from seojun…?”
“Yes.”
“…Then it was Gaon who made Alex like this…?”
“Who else is here but me? Of course I did.”
In an instant, the intermittent sound of clothes brushing behind me stopped.
Did Seoyoon organize all her clothes? As I turned to look behind her, she asked me in a trembling voice.
“Uh…Why..Killing people..So calm…?”
“…….”
At that moment, I remembered the conversation I had with the old butler who guided me in the palace.
-Woman this world…. Yes, did you say her name is Lee Seo-yoon..? I heard from the knights that she is so weak-minded that she can’t even kill a goblin. I don’t know how it is in the original world, but in this Hyperion Empire, her soft heart is rather poisonous. I’m sure you’ll bring a lot of anger to yourself at a critical moment.
Certainly, even after Lee Seo Yoon-eun was transferred to the world, she couldn’t abandon her unique Go-yun mentality.
Just as there is a saying in Rome to follow Roman law, in another world you must follow the laws of another world.
If you don’t kill, you die. If you don’t get scared, you get raped. That is the law and absolute rule of this world.
Lee Seo-yoon realizes the law and she has to hold her heart in line with the world. Otherwise, all that remains is ‘death’.
“Why? Isn’t it obvious?”
“It’s all… Taken for granted… If you talk about murder that way…”
“Is it wrong to kill an enemy? This white man even tried to rape you.”
“But it wasn’t murder! There must have been another way….Yes, if you tie it up and have a good talk…”
Ha…
I let out a sigh.
Honestly, there was only one reason why I wanted to meet Seoyoon.
Because she liked her, after entering her university, until she was transferred to her other world, at least she loved her.
However, if I ask her if she loves her now, her answer is no.
The reason I liked Lee Seo-yoon from Earth before that was simply because she was my style, she was beautiful, and she had a kind heart.
In other words, Lee Seo-yoon’s beauty world no longer worked for me, who had seen Elly, Irina, and even Veronica, who had ridiculously beautiful looks.
“Yunah Seo.”
“…Why…?”
“What do you think of this guy?”
f*ck-!
I stepped on Alex’s corpse with her feet and turned her head to look at Lee Seo-yoon.
Lee Seo-yoon looked pale as she was embarrassed at the sight of me suddenly starting to step on the corpse.
“A corpse…A corpse…?”
“Answer me, what do you think of this rapist bastard?”
“Mr. Alex..? Boon.. Is obviously a bad person… He was the one who tried to attack me, but he wasn’t the one to die..! There is no one in this world who can die before that…”
“Haa…”
I know Lee Seo-yoon’s trauma.
I know very well that I don’t want to see someone get hurt, and even less to see someone die.
However, such a weak heart cannot survive in this world.
Kwajik-!
“Hey?!”
Before Seoyoon finished speaking, I strongly stepped on Alex’s head and looked at her coldly.
Seoyoon didn’t seem to understand why I was looking at her with her cold eyes.
“This guy is a rapist who tried to rape you, but he’ll let you live?”
“All..Of course…! As long as they make them pay for their sins…”
“Back off.”
Kwajik-!
I stepped on Alex’s corpse even harder and crushed it.
“It’s soft. That’s damn good.”
“That…What is that…Wait a minute…”
“Come on.”
I kicked Alex’s dagger off the floor and sent it to Seoyoon’s feet. Then he pointed at Alex’s corpse and said in a commanding tone.
“Cut off your wrist.”
“…What…?”
“Cut off this rapist’s wrist.”
Seoyoon looked at her dagger lying at her feet with her dazed expression on her face.
“…Cut off your wrists…?”
“Uh. Then you can give me your severed wrist, is it easy?”
Seoyoon did not pick up her dagger. Of course. She couldn’t cut Alex’s wrists herself.
So you have to force it.
“[Psychokinesis].”
“Oh?!”
I forcibly started moving Seoyoon’s body with [Psychokinesis].
“Ah…No…!”
Seoyoon forcibly picked up the dagger that had fallen on the floor by her telekinesis and approached Alex’s corpse.
“Kyaahhhhh … No! Stop !!! Gaon! Please stop !!!”
“No.”
I need to let her know.
What kind of world is this world?
Suddenly!
“Ooh…Wow…!”
Seoyoon eventually forcibly cut off Alex’s wrists with her telekinesis, and as soon as [Psychokinesis] Was released, she fell helplessly to the floor and began pouring out her gastric juice.
“Uh…Why…! You did this…”
“It’s all for you.”
“What is this for me…!”
“Because I need to know that this world is such a place.”
“What is that…”
“Kill or die. Do you understand?”
“…There must be another way… A way to solve the problem without killing him…”
“It can’t be.”
“…Wait Gaon, what are you doing…?!”
I picked up Alex’s hand that Seoyoon had cut off. Then she immediately put it in her mouth and started chewing.
Seoyoon, who witnessed the sight of me eating away Alex’s hand right in front of her eyes, opened her eyes wide and distorted her expression as if in shock.
Ugh…Ugh…
[Baal Zebub is activated.]
[You have learned Shield Skill LV 3.]
[Integrated into World of Warcraft LV 2.]
“Ugh… I don’t have a taste bud.”
Of course, this expression meant that the ability was tasteless.
“You…You…Gaon is you…G..Now…What the hell…?!”
“I told you. Kill or die. This is only part of that.”
“Even so…That’s cannibalism…!”
“What about cannibalism?”
When Seoyoon saw my cold eyes, her body began to tremble as if she was immersed in fear.
“Poetry… Cannibalism…”
“……”
I slowly approached Seoyoon.
One step…Two steps…
“Now…Wait…Don’t come…”
“……”
“Don’t come…Please…!”
I continued to approach Seo-yoon with an expressionless expression, and finally, when I was close enough to touch her body…!
“King!”
“Heeek?!”
“It’s a joke.”
I lightly tapped the forehead of Seoyoon, who was dripping with cold sweat like a waterfall, and turned her back.
“Stop going. I was originally looking for you.”
“…Gaon, you…”
“The words end there.”
I smiled lightly at Seoyoon, who had calmed down before I knew it, and moved his feet.
“If you have any questions, let’s talk tomorrow. I’m a little tired today.”
“……Are you going to tell me everything tomorrow…?”
“I’ll tell you anything.”
When I said that she would tell me anything, Seoyoon asked me with a slightly sad expression.
“…Then will you tell me everything Gaon has done to you…And why he has changed so much…?”
“…….”
Hearing Seoyoon’s question, I could only momentarily stop his feet.
Why did I change? Is it just because of the [Cool mind]?
“I’ll tell you if you want.”
“…Yes…”
She started walking along my back towards her, with her prepared expression on her face.
-You’re quite an interesting kid.
‘Isn’t it?’
-Yes, I am a greedy child.
‘Are you greedy? Is it Seoyoon?’
I immediately thought that Veronica’s words were nonsense.
Seoyun is greedy? No way…
-Don’t think that greed is necessarily material. She’s simply sticking with her for her own mental stability.
‘Stubborn?’
-She has been avoiding killing herself due to her childhood trauma, but this is simply her greed and stubbornness. The reason she doesn’t want to kill her isn’t because she sympathizes with the suffering of other creatures, it’s simply because she’s doing it for her own mental stability.
-For example….Yes, let’s say there are three people. The three suddenly want to eat fried chicken, so they fry a chicken in oil, and the chicken is properly cooked and served on the table. However, there were three people, two chicken legs, the most delicious part, and one person had no choice but to give up chicken legs.
-While we were looking at each other like that, one out of three people declared that they would give up chicken legs. So, a question arises here. Is the person who gave up chicken legs a good person?
I thought for a while about Veronica’s very philosophical question, and then submitted the answer.
‘…Isn’t that a nice person? Because he sacrificed himself for the sake of the two of them.’
-Whoops…Most people think so. However, if you read the thoughts of one person who gave up chicken legs here, your opinion may change a little.
‘What is it?’
-One person who gave up chicken legs was on a diet. She wanted to lose weight on her own. So, since that 1 person was really nice here, did she give up the chicken leg? No, he was simply giving away chicken legs to minimize calories. In other words, he did not yield chicken legs for the other two people, but based on his own greed, he only yielded chicken legs.
-Another example theory It could have been simply an action to instill a good image in the other two. If so, this also becomes a concession that started with your own greed.
‘…Sorry, I’m a bit picky about this part…I understand, but my head is a little dizzy…’
-Well, you don’t have to understand it too deeply. To put it simply, all you need to know is that Seoyoon, a child, never acts based on ‘goodness’, and rather has a lot of greed compared to other human beings.
‘I’ll refer to it.’
I arrived at the entrance of the Moonlight Palace while chatting with Veronica in my heart.
“Huh?”
“Hmm?”
At that time, I noticed that Lee Seo-joon, my old friend and the culprit behind the transfer to another world, was looking at me with a blank expression in front of the entrance.
“… Gaon?”
“Oh… It’s not Lee Seo-joon. Long time no see.”
I walked towards Lee Seo-joon, who stood still and stiff on the spot.
Then, at a tremendous speed, he threw his fist at Lee Seo-joon’s face.
f*ck-!
“Kuhhh?!”
Lee Seo-joon was blown away by my fist and stuck in the bush like in a cartoon, and I smiled playfully and opened my mouth.
“It’s a gift.”
Since I went through so much trouble because of you, I should be right, right?
