Chapter 187 – 187. It’s Time to Escape (3)
After wandering through the dirty pipes for about two hours, we managed to find the body of a dead drug dealer. His face turned blue and he was dead, as if he had taken an overdose of strange medicine.
Even in the lair of drug addicts who suck the blood of drug addicts to get some energy, they couldn’t afford it, so they threw it out in places like this.
In any case, from the moment the body was found, things were solved in a flash. As I started following the corpses, a zombie who had just died was wandering around, and when I killed that zombie, more zombies came.
Of course, there was no problem with ordinary zombies when dealing with mirror ghosts or underground guards, as ordinary zombies were no more than a passing rat.
No, actually, rats are more dangerous than drugged zombies in the pipe section here.
If you get bitten, you’ll die from all kinds of bizarre diseases, and if you start crawling out one by one, the number will increase exponentially before you know it, and eventually they’ll attack you in droves.
If they kill people by biting anyway, mice are much more dangerous because they are smaller and harder to find and harder to catch and kill.
To be honest, if I could catch it, I would like to catch a few crazy rats living here and release them at the enemy base. Of course, it’s too dirty and I don’t want to touch it, so I’ll just end it in the realm of delusion.
In any case, there were no particular beings holding us aside from zombies who were about the size of road guides. The rats are somehow avoiding us, and the basement itself feels kind to us.
How to say Should I say that I want you to get out of here quickly? Maybe it’s because I summoned Kysyria and robbed the two bosses.
Does that mean that demons are observing us in real time or something? Wouldn’t it?
‘No. If the demons were watching in the first place, why didn’t they appear?’
Wasn’t the 4th floor the devil’s warehouse?
I knew that it was a place where various things were kept, so a guard called a storage keeper was also created and managed in its own way.
Even though such a place was destroyed by intruders, for some reason the demons did not show up, except for some stupid people named Bibal and Avalam.
Before I came here, I had been warned by Cheshire that low-level demons and other strange demons might appear, but the only ones that crawled out were a bird-headed demon that looked a little stupid and a strange demon that seemed obsessed with masochism.
Something is strange.
Moreover, both of the named names were neatly organized in the Kishiria line, and other than them, there were no demons even after washing their eyes and looking for them, so I started to feel a strange sense of incongruity.
For some reason, I have a feeling that the demons were deliberately avoiding us.
‘Is it because of me?’
Regardless of reasons such as luck or the love of ten thousand horses, as far as I know, demons were parasites before ten thousand horses, and to evil gods, they were nothing more than parasites.
Seeing them as such, I wonder if I was afraid that if I touched me, I would be hated by the evil spirits.
‘Maybe this is the reason Paimon stayed silent despite Avalam’s call.’
If you touch me directly, you won’t be able to handle it. Everyone was afraid that if they touched me, the apostle of evil spirits, I would be torn to pieces by evil spirits. In the midst of that, two rather stupid demons came to visit me unknowingly and got robbed.
Thinking like that made me understand what happened earlier.
Then Cheshire, who was walking in front of him, called out to me.
“June!”
“Yes? Uh?”
“I’m here!! Finally escape!”
“Wow!”
After walking for a long time, following Cheshire in the lead, we were finally able to get out.
Of course, it was still inside the black market to say outside, but once we got this far, it was good to see it as a successful escape. To be honest, this place just feels like the next town.
“Huh. You are finally out.”
As soon as Ayla came out, she sat down and massaged her limbs. She looked a little funny because it looked like an old kid. Just looking at his appearance, he looks the youngest among us, but his behavior, his way of speaking, and his actual age are really high.
“Hey, hey… Master… Can I take this down now?”
“Uh? Uh. Great job.”
“Yes.. Hehe..”
Kessiah released her slayer beast from her back and threw it to the ground.
“Aww!! It hurts!! Come on, let’s put it down a little bit! You poor people!!”
The slaughter beast terrified Kessia with her screams as she was thrown to the floor. Kessiah, of course, didn’t care at all and took her mushroom count out of her bag and she gulped.
“Ha ha.. Ha.. I did it.”
Meanwhile, A-ram knelt down on his knees and looked up at the ceiling with a voice full of joy, as if he had welcomed a god. Then he took off half of the goggles he was wearing and threw them away. Her goggles, which she threw off, were on the verge of bursting.
The goggles for deterring her perception, which she has been wearing ever since, gradually lose durability and crack as she filters shocking scenes.
As a result, most of the goggles she had put on to protect Aram’s spirit were broken, and she was on the verge of being smashed.
He probably did his part and died. It was a very good performance. I would buy it again if I could buy it again, but unfortunately the peddlers don’t have a catalog function, so I have to wait until the same thing comes up again.
Anyway, Aram was shedding her tears for her joy that she had now escaped. She looked very proud, perhaps because she had never suffered so madly since the catastrophe began.
It’s me, I’ve been touring the black market by myself, and I’ve been to the forest of the missing people and the Mansion of Tremors several times, so I couldn’t feel that level of emotion.
She was just satisfied with the fact that she got out safely this time too.
[Are you satisfied?]
At that time, Indicron spoke up.
As usual, the presence of God faded in the black market, but it was almost completely cut off in the underground of the black market. So she’s a voice I’ve been wanting to hear but haven’t heard in a while, and she started talking to her as soon as I escaped.
‘Yes. I’m satisfied. It’s all thanks to Indicron-nim, who introduced me to Kishilia.’
I sent a heartfelt thank you. Then, Indicron laughed for a long time and then naturally moved on to the main topic.
[This has caused me to lose a significant amount of causality.]
As expected, the causal factor used by Kysyria seems to have been covered by Indicron.
Moreover, if you can say that you have suffered a loss like this straight-forward, it must mean that it is really serious.
[Therefore, since my tent has been partially lifted, the scheming of the good gods will begin again.]
God’s warning to me to prepare in advance because I’m sure I’m lost.
It was a kind of prophecy and revelation.
‘As expected, Indicron is now in financial trouble..’
Thanks to that, the veil that hid me was broken… Carshinax seems to be blocking direct interference, so that alone made him look busy.
In any case, hardships and hardships were almost as planned until Indicron made up for the loss of causality. However, I have continued to overcome hardships and adversity up to this point. So there is no need to worry about it again.
‘I am not afraid.’
I still don’t know what this world wants from me. The information provided to me is too limited and even the demons are hiding something from me.
However, it doesn’t matter. Because my goal has always been one.
I will survive to the end. With the women I fell in love with. And I will survive with slaves who will take care of me.
Yes, my goal has always been survival. I was willing to enslave anyone in order to survive.
[That’s a great answer indeed. It’s safe.]
[But don’t be too careless.]
[The good gods are the ones who have much more… Than us, who were only two left in the first place.]
We are the only two left…
It must be the story of Carshinax and Indicron, the only evil gods remaining in the war.
For some reason, Botamilli has been banished until now, and the rest of the demons have all disappeared.
I don’t know why all the other demons disappeared, but I thought I’d understand why if I continued to survive. At that time, Indicron informed me of the direction I had to go.
[After getting out of here, go to the bottom of the abyss.]
‘Yes?’
[There, a long-sealed helper will be waiting for you.]
‘A helper?’
[Okay. There is nothing else I can say.]
‘I understand for now.’
I decided to follow Indicron’s words. Because up to this point, she had no memory of hearing her words and losing them. The biggest helpers in my survival are none other than Indicron and Carshinax. Honestly, if the two goddesses didn’t respect and love me, I would have died right away.
Anyway, after finishing his speech, Indicron said he was tired and stepped back again. Maybe we won’t be able to talk for a while.
“Now. Everyone, let’s go back to base now.”
About 10 minutes after we sat down to catch our breath, Cheshire picked us up again. It’s still inside the black market, and we can’t let our guard down until we get back to Cheshire’s base.
“Oh, Cheshire. Before that, this.”
“Huh? Ah..”
I stood up and took out the soul extractor from my bag and handed it to Cheshire. The brewer contained half a bluish soul.
This is the half of Cheshire’s soul that was stolen by demons.
“Huh-huh.. Really. I really got it… Seeing this, I can finally feel it…”
Cheshire’s voice softened a little. Her laughter conveyed the trembling she was barely holding back from crying. She seemed very moved when she obtained the piece of the soul she had been searching for most of her life.
Soon she looked at the soul extractor and hugged me right away. We were both wearing shadow masks and neon masks, so we couldn’t see each other’s faces, but that was nice.
Now we can finally get Cheshire out of this damn black market. Cheshire, who had lived all his life in this dark, gloomy and dangerous place, could now go out with me.
‘Well, the outside world isn’t in a perfect state either…’
It’s a world where zombies and skeletons roam everywhere and most of the powerless people died around the 3rd week, but it’s still better than the black market. This is a demonic realm where you never know when and where you will be attacked.
“Then let’s really go back now!”
We put our hands on Cheshire’s body. It seemed a bit daunting because there were so many people, but luckily we all arrived at Cheshire’s base without scattering.
Now it’s time to take a few days off and go back to our sweet home.
