Chapter 73
Test of the Ancients (2)
Surprisingly, the contradiction was hidden in a nearby, yet simple place.
“Whoa! Father! ”
“Dad!”
Children flocking towards men in black robes.
and help watch over those children and the bride.
He thinks, walking in front of the priest.
‘There was no priest in the orphanage. There were only nuns.’
Is there a priest in that space?
Tak
“Found it.”
JooJoon took Father’s hand.
He has a light smile on his mouth.
“Was this easy too? ”
“It was easy.”
‘I think the difficulty level is a little higher than before…’
If the birthday party I had with my parents was a contradiction.
Now that you’re here,
It was a mixture of contradictions in his memory.
‘Still, it’s easier this way. ’
Whether the Imperial Clan and Reana still failed the test of the ancient book.
There was no convincing.
“But have the others who have taken the test ever taken this way? ”
“Well? There’s no reason to tell. ”
There was a strange smile on the priest’s mouth.
Blur-blur-ub
There’s a bell ringing somewhere.
This is…
He noticed that his vision had moved to a small classroom.
Crude hangers and chairs and creaky wooden floors.
Let’s postpone it by the crowded number of students.
I think this is… sixth grade? ’
JooJoon is circling the area looking into the situation.
“.. finish looking at the morning over. ”
A half-haired teacher came down from the table and went out the door.
Suddenly, some elementary school students who looked close to middle school began to surround him.
“You raised your hand when I asked you to raise your hand, right? ”
“Mom, Dad, aren’t you both here? ”
Hands? What hands? Ah… ”
Leading the way through questions.
He has a bitter smile on his mouth.
You had to raise your hand to find out who was going to be fed.
Identifying students’ home histories to identify students in need of food support.
That’s why you raised your hand.
The students surround him with purpose.
At the time, I didn’t know what it meant to raise my hand.
She smiles bitterly like an elementary school student.
He slowly looked up at the students.
“But?”
“And you’re home, too. There’s nothing in the car, right? Beggars, beggars. ”
‘What did I say here…’
To find contradictions.
I needed to repeat what I had done at the time.
Help me to remember as much as I can at the time.
“Oh, yeah! I’m sure…”
Warak
JooJoon suddenly grabbed the student by the throat.
“Yeah. No mom, no dad. So, what did you help me with? ”
“Let go! There’s nothing here, you bastard! ”
Puck.
Punching comes and goes.
The teacher comes into the mess class.
“You guys! What are you doing? No, just follow JooJoon! ”
Later, the teacher dragged me to the school room.
“Joon, what’s wrong? Why did you fight? Huh?”
“Well…”
JooJoon clenches his lips, pretending to be as angry as possible.
He said, “I don’t have parents. I’m a child. So I hit him.”
“ · · · ”
Then the teacher staring at him was dumbfounded with a vague tone.
Soon gone.
“Joon, Jin Soo is the class captain. And he runs a big construction company. ”
“What? ”
‘He was a funny guy. They must have received a village…’
In retrospect, he was also a poor teacher.
“I’ll skip today, but the next time something like this happens, you’ll have no choice but to get a falcon. You understand what I’m saying? ”
The other teachers who were sitting on his left and right turn their heads.
‘Yes, it was like this. ’
No one listened to him.
When no one listened even to the truth.
‘It sucks to see you like this again. ’
“You’re asking me. Understand?”
“Yes. ”
She nodded helplessly.
“Mr. Kim. That’s a little harsh, don’t you think? ”
Suddenly, a relatively young teacher approached and asked questions.
“He’s my classmate, and this is my education. If you have a complaint, you can be my class teacher. ”
Teacher Kim increased his speech.
“That’s your way of teaching? The way you get paid to look after your parents? ”
“Hey, mister! I have something to say and I have nothing to say! ”
“I think you should be careful what you say. Teacher to teacher.”
The young teacher was about to continue speaking.
A small hand grabs her hand.
“Found it.”
“ · · · ”
This teacher is staring down at Juju.
Her lips open slowly.
“How did you know? ”
Like she asked.
I was also wondering if I really couldn’t find a contradiction this time.
‘Memories are lame… they’re all based on my memories. But…
One thing was certain.
I remembered that no teacher had helped him.
I did not find the test of the ancient books difficult.
It’s just…
“It was a little confusing, but I wish this were the truth. ”
“Right? Most of them got out of here. You can be proud.”
Her words silence her face.
“Most of them got out of here”? ’
“… I’m surprised. ”
“If you put even the slightest bit of lie in the truth, everyone knows it’s the truth. You’re weird to find out. ”
She shrugged.
“Well…”
Blur-blur-ub
At the same time that you hear the sound of paper passing somewhere.
He noticed that he had moved to a new place.
This is…
She noticed that she had returned to the Hanil Orphanage again.
He starts looking around first.
I mean, she’s grown up, and she’s probably building a new building.
It seems to be a memory from the third grade of high school.
“What contradiction does this place have…”
When Joon was circling around.
“Hey! It’s dangerous! ”
Suddenly, I heard a great shout.
“ · · · ”
He reaches out reflexively as he sees the baseball flying in front of him.
Fang
Luckily, the ball got sucked into the meat in his hand.
“Hey! You can’t just snap out of it! ”
A spectacular rush of thought.
“Are you okay?”
“Oh, it’s okay. ”
“Be careful when you throw the ball. Otherwise, I’ll snore. Well, then I have to get back on the table, but I’m not breaking a dime or two. ”
Amazing how you can draw circles with your thumb and index finger while exhaling relief.
He grins and taps on the glove.
“What do you think? Do you like gifts? ”
“Not bad, but I don’t think your salary’s gonna work.”
As opposed to being a student.
Amazing was when I was already out in the orphanage and living my life.
JooJoon was worried about his pocket.
“Hey, man! You’re a socialite, man! There’s no harm in a gift loan salary like this. If you start eating with the skills you learned next year, you’ll know what I’m talking about. ”
“Well, that’s a relief. ”
Help me smile at his answer.
‘Then again, this brother came to the orphanage…’
Usually after becoming an adult.
There aren’t many orphans looking for an orphanage.
It’s time to be independent and busy living.
‘In a way, he is a very consistent brother. ’
When Joon finally smiled.
A group enters his gaze.
Volunteers, or…
There were two types of outsiders visiting the orphanage on the weekends.
People who volunteered.
Or the people who came to see the child to be adopted.
I can’t remember which way.
Of course, it was possible to look at their behavior and make inferences.
‘Cause that might be a contradiction. ’
You have two chances left.
If you fail to find a contradiction, you will have one less chance.
‘I don’t know how long the exam will last. ’
I have to take the exam with as little opportunity as possible.
“By the way… are they with you? ”
“Who? Them?
I was watching the crowd with my eyes wide open.
Soon, he shakes his head.
“I think you’re right about those two…”
“Maybe I’m looking for a child to adopt. ”
Seeing the faces of the children with the nun.
It looked more likely.
‘By the way, there was a child who was adopted at this time… Kim Min? Mimin? ”
You don’t remember his name very well.
The nuns mentioned the name of the adopted child.
I can see that you were very disappointed.
‘Then at least that’s not a contradiction.’
Turn your head again and look around.
“Contradiction… contradiction…”
Nothing.
Unlike the two previous situations, there is no contradiction to say this.
‘No, there’s definitely a contradiction. I just can’t find it. ’
When JooJoon tried to look into the situation again.
Tic
The world has stopped with a sudden ticking sound of the clock.
This is…
At that time, I was staring at the stunning thing that was stiff and invisible to move.
A strange message appeared in front of him.
Time remaining 3 minutes.
Once the time limit has been reached, you will not be able to take the quiz in the old book.
‘There was a time limit, so… why did everyone stop moving all of a sudden? ’
While he was frowning.
[nonsense response]
Suddenly, people started moving.
It looks like it’s replaying the video.
I started doing things backwards.
Soon…
“Hey! It’s dangerous! ”
After you go to this place.
I heard the first big shout again.
This… this can’t be…
A handful of Pokémon that naturally reached out and caught a baseball.
He thinks with his face firmly fixed.
‘I guess I missed the paradox. I can’t explain what’s going on here. ’
The contradiction he was supposed to find has passed.
It is clear that it has returned to its original state.
“Search again,” you mean? ’
Three-minute window.
Within that time, you will be asked to find a contradiction.
‘That’s funny.’
I don’t think he’ll pass the test.
Do you think the old books have forgiven you?
‘Anyway, this is my chance. Opportunity to pass the exam. ’
Kindness and arrogance in an ancient book.
She didn’t want to miss out on this opportunity,
‘Let’s rethink this. What did I miss? What am I missing… kids? No, they’re not different. And the nuns? No… volunteers? Adopter?
Helps to look fiercely around and examine contradictions.
However, no matter how hard they looked, there seemed to be no contradiction.
“Where the hell is the contradiction…? The contradiction… Ah! Is that it? ‘
Helping to see two men and women walking out with the prospect of adoption.
‘The conditions most adopters wanted were toddlers under the age of five. ’
Age of attachment to parents.
Because of this, a significant number of adopters were hoping to adopt newborns.
However, the scene in front of me was a little different.
‘Elementary school students, even if they can’t. No, I think he’s in middle school. ’
Then the girl who was just leaving the orphanage with the prospects of adoption.
There’s a good chance it’s a contradiction.
He hurried towards them.
I hope I’m right.
Taunt grabbed the girl’s shoulder.
“Found it.”
At the same time as his endless recitation.
“What? ”
The girl turned her head and looked at him.
“This frozen face… I remember seeing it somewhere else…”
When Joon scratched his head on a familiar face.
Failed to find a contradiction. 1 chance is deducted
Remaining Chance: 1
A message appeared in front of him informing him of the opportunity.
‘.. this is not a contradiction? ’
Then, where is the contradiction between the great joints?
1 minute remaining.
Once the time limit has been reached, you will not be able to take the quiz in the old book.
‘Let’s think about it. What did I miss? I don’t know what I wasn’t thinking.
JooJoon is looking around again fiercely.
The building is under construction in his view.
‘There’s something wrong with the building… but I’m pretty sure when it’s finished…’
I remember he spent quite a bit of time after he left the orphanage.
But now…
It was incomplete, but somewhat complete.
“Ha..”
Leap to the building with a smiley face.
‘You’ve confused real people well. ’
Somehow, it was also natural that people did not find contradictions.
This time there was no contradiction between people.
They hid a contradiction in the environment.
“Found it.”
Reach out and shout at the building that Joon is building.
“That’s great, that’s great. I didn’t think I’d make it through this. ”
Strange voices came from the building.
The voice continues to speak.
“You’re the first one to pass through here. Every single one of them who had a shot at getting out of here. ”
“Suddenly, you have changed the contradiction from a person to a building, and you deserve it. ”
JooJoon shrugged.
The building flutters upward and downward, with a loud laugh.
“Hahahaha! That’s part of the test, too. Now, this is the final test. Look for it.”
Blur-blur-ub.
At the end of the sound coming from the building.
I heard the sound of paper handing.
“ · · · ”
The orphanage is gone.
A small office was taking his place.
This is…
When I realized that JooJoon is a relatively recent memory.
“Joon, come to work for a while! ”
The sound of walking is irritating to his ears.
End of the Exam in the Ancient Book
