Chapter 170: The Cult (2)
However, it was still a candy house.
All the Blue Reapers were gathered inside the candy house that had become a little bigger and more fancy. A particular Blue Reaper who had gathered everyone together carved a string of words into the air with a determined expression.
< My precious human is in danger. Help! Please! >
All the Blue Reapers were startled by the terrible news that their sibling’s precious human was in danger and tightly gripped their brooms.
The story of the precious human couldn’t be seen anywhere since yesterday. And the story that it had heard that he was in a dangerous situation. The Blue Reapers listened to the story as if it were their own story.
After finishing the story, the other Blue Reapers approached the sad-looking Blue Reaper and patted it on the back. It was their consolation for those who had decided to act. After all, the other Blue Reapers knew that if their precious humans disappeared, they would stay locked in the candy house and cry for three days.
And then they all nodded together and flew up to the sky. Then, they started flying toward the east to save their sibling’s precious human.
The moment all the Blue Reapers left, something suddenly popped up from the sea of hot chocolate. It was the Gray Reaper looking in the direction where the Blue Reapers were flying towards.
*********I rose to the surface of the sea of hot chocolate and looked at the sky where the blue reapers flew away towards.
Did the Blue Reaper’s precious humans disappear?While making Mini Reaper Shiitake Mushroom Stew, I noticed that all the Blue Reapers were gathering somewhere, so I got curious and sneaked around their house. Unexpectedly, I got some information.
Actually, if they were planning to do Marshmallow Hammer Mk2 like last time, I was thinking of doing Gray Reaper Shark Mk2, but the story I heard was different from what I expected.
By the way, the Blue Reapers were really brave. They didn’t even have physical immunity, but they just rushed out without saying a word. It must mean that the situation of the precious human was urgent.
The fact that the Blue Reapers were weak already made me worry about them, so should I tell the other mini reapers to chase after them?
Who should I send?
The Golden Reapers and the Black Reapers were too bright that it would be impossible for them to do an infiltrating job. The Bud Reaper slept all day, so was not sure whether it could act independently or not.
So, the option boiled down to the Red Reaper and the Orange Reaper, huh?
After making my decision, I summoned the Orange Reaper onto my palm. Before long, A round white fur ball popped out in my hand.
As I stroked the Orange Reaper’s hair, a relaxed-looking orange face popped out from the fur ball. I then rubbed its soft cheeks and conveyed my will to the Orange Reaper.
Watch the Blue Reaper while flying in the sky, and if anything happens, call me.
The Orange Reaper, who was enjoying an intimate skinship with me, nodded without showing any rejection or agreement before flying into the sky. And then, following the Blue Reapers, it flew away to the sky through the courtyard which was connected to the Garden of Mini Reaper.
When I looked at the sky, all kinds of cloud fish gathered and began to migrate following the Orange Reaper.
I chose it because it looked calm and able to fly around, but it seems like it was more optimized for search and surveillance than I thought?
I tried to ignore the worry I still felt about the Blue Reapers and walked to the containment room where Yerin was.
*********Seoah’s voice echoed inside the individually divided offices inside the Object Research Institute Management Department inside the Object Association building in Gangnam-gu.
“So, does that mean the Association has no plans to deal with the ‘Eye Cult’ right now?”
“Yes, unfortunately that’s the case.”
Seoah rubbed her temples and calmed her mind.
After being rejected five times due to lack of relevant documents, and after struggling to set up a meeting, the ending was ‘sorry, we can’t do anything’?”
She had heard that Korea’s Object Association was a cauldron of hot mess, but she never thought it was this bad.
To think nothing can be done even though the Blue Reaper was sad!
The association employee wearing a suspicious helmet that looked like a motorcycle helmet continued speaking in a helpless voice.
“In fact, I also understand the severity of this situation. I have made suggestions to my superiors several times, but all the answers I received are instructions to not do anything, it’s frustrating.”
The association employee added, ‘In the end, all I can tell you is to wait. I’m sorry.’ and bowed his head.
In the end, it seems like we have no choice but to form a security team of Sehee research institute and raid them ourselves. After all, It became clear that we could not receive help from the association.
Seoah, who was feeling dejected, suddenly noticed the employee’s strange helmet.
Other employees weren’t wearing helmets like that, so why did he wear something like that?
It looked incredibly uncomfortable.
“Why are you wearing that helmet?”
“Oh, you mean this?”
The association employee who was neatly organizing documents stopped and answered Seoah’s question.
“I am using it because mind corruption has been detected throughout the Object Association building. I submitted a request to close the building because of the mind corruption level, but the higher-ups told me not to even report it unless the level is really serious.”
Mind corruption?
When Seoah heard about the mind corruption, she felt like she could smell the warm scent of sunlight.
Don’t tell me…
Giggle-!
When Seoah turned her head in surprise and looked at the Bud Reaper on her shoulder, she found that it was smiling as if something funny had happened.
Did the Golden Reaper come out of the lab and sneak into the association?
No matter how crazy our institute was, they wouldn’t have let it out on purpose, right?
***Tap-! Tap-! Tap-!
The sound of water droplets slowly falling rang out.
The Sehee Research Institute security staff opened her eyes in a dark cave illuminated by a single hanging incandescent light.
“Hu… Huhhh…”
She tried to breathe properly, but her breathing was interrupted, making it difficult for her to breathe normally. The reason was simply because her whole body was a mess.
Ugh, I should have brought a gun…
Who would have thought that the cult leader could win a fight with dozens of people in an open space?
If she had brought a gas gun used by the security team of Sehee Research Institute, she wouldn’t have ended up in this situation.
The security staff member had a hard time keeping her body straight, as if all her joints were broken.
It was a situation where she could have let out a groan, but the security staff member clenched her teeth with determination.
She had to go back after saving her sister.
She had to go back and see the Blue Reaper.
The thought that the Blue Reaper greeted her when she returned made the pain lessen and gave her some hope. If she held on a little longer, someone from the association or a rescue team from the research institute would come.
Our research institute was a bit of a mess, but their employee welfare was certainly good…
Suddenly, the thought occurred to her that the Blue Reaper might be sad because she was gone, but when she thought about the mini Reapers’ cheerfulness, she thought it was likely that it would quickly forget about it and run around happily.
Step-! Step-!
While sheI was reminiscing about the happy memories with the Blue Reaper and overcoming the pain, she heard a familiar sound of footsteps.
“Unnie. Are you okay?”
The security staff member heard the voice of her missing sister.
When she looked up, she saw her sister dressed in neat white clothes, looking fine.
“Ah, you’re still conscious. Usually, everyone loses consciousness from the pain. You’re amazing.”
However, the security staff member saw something different.
She was strange.
“Sister, let’s quickly shed our bodies and take refuge in the eyes together.”
“What are you talking about? Come to your senses.”
Was it mind corruption?
However, from the security staff’s perspective, there was no mind corruption in this place.
There was only merciless violence.
Upon hearing the security staff’s words, her younger sister held her arm tightly while reciting the doctrine of the Eyeball Cult with a sad expression.
“The body is the prison of the soul. Only through pain can you escape from that prison.”
“Ugh.”
Her younger sister’s expression did not change as she held onto the broken part of her body tightly.
The security staff, who had clenched her teeth and held on, eventually lost consciousness from the excruciating pain.
*********Om nom nom-!
I ate the big pudding while being held in Yerin’s arms.
But for some reason, it didn’t taste very good.
Um…
The image of a Blue Reaper with one arm cut off kept coming to mind, and the pudding that had always been so delicious lost its flavor.
When I showed a disturbed expression, the Black Reaper who was resting nearby started looking up with a worried expression.
Mom, are you sick?
Then it brought a large White Hungry Ghost from somewhere and held it out towards me.
You will get better if you eat it, mom!
As expected, all my children were good.
Maybe because of my concern for the Blue Reapers, I was a little touched by the Black Reaper’s kind deeds that were nothing special.
I gave it a short ‘thank you’ and took the White Hungry Ghost that it gave me and ate it.
Kyuuuuuuu-!
For some reason, I didn’t feel like eating its body today, so I ate all the feet before putting it down.
Then I got up from my seat and decided.
I was so worried, so I should go watch the Blue Reapers myself.
If it’s dangerous, I would help it out a little, and if it’s not dangerous, I would just watch what they did.
I gave the Black Reaper a little pat and then teleported to where the Orange Reaper was with the power of the black penguin.
***In the sky of Gangdong-gu, where many cloud fish were flying around, the Blue Reaper slowly flew through the sky with a careful expression, chasing traces of its precious human.
< Find the trace! Please! >
Although they were moving following the guidance of magic, the Blue Reapers somehow felt like they knew their destination.
A large building which was abandoned because of an Object related Incident.
Terrible emotions were pouring out from inside the building.
Pain, despair, and twisted joy.
The Blue Reaper, who had descended onto the building, shed tears.
It was painful, the humans felt so much pain.
