260. The Last of the Shingaga (2)

‘What on earth is this? What is this······. I don’t understand······.’

Shindohwa’s face hardened.

After realizing that Jin Yu-ha and the Utopia Party were approaching him.

It was Shindohwa who had made many preparations to deal with them.

But it was all ruined from the start.

The most annoying thing is, of course.

These noisy bugs.

The horrible feel of legs stuck to my face.

It even gave me the creepy feeling of something digging into my clothes.

She couldn’t come to her senses at all with the sound of wings fluttering in her ears.

She hated bugs desperately.

Because it reminded me of Shinga’s strict discipline a long time ago.

A past where I was locked in a room full of bugs for days when I made a small mistake or went against the grain.

“Eww!! Get out! Get out!!”

She drew up her mana and created a fire that seemed to burn everything in all directions.

Whoosh whoosh─

As it was that utopia that had been rid of bugs from the beginning.

I had expected that they might come in using bugs.

I thought that I could just burn them all before they got stuck to me.

Because bugs are weak to fire.

But, strangely enough, whenever she stirred up fire like this, it all converged in one place.

With a shield held by a black-haired girl.

Even near the girl, no bugs flew, so her flames only burned a very small portion of them.

aaa …

A fly landed on Shindohwa’s ear.

I shake my head to wake up the game, but another one lands on my hand.

“······This can’t go on.”

Unable to bear the creepy feeling, Shindohwa closed her eyes.

Whoosh whoosh!!!!

A fire broke out.

But this time the flames did not spread outwards.

The place that caught fire was her clothes.

It was like setting my body on fire.

Chijijijik─

The flames burning his collar spread to his skin, causing burns to appear all over his body, and his long, black hair began to burn and emit a pungent odor.

Since he was an Awakened being who used fire and had a fire tolerance, it was limited to this extent.

“Keuuup!!!”

But a terrible burning pain occurred.

She gritted her teeth and held on.

Because pain was better than bugs.

‘Where on earth did it go wrong······?’

Shindohwa, whose whole body was engulfed in flames and freed from insects.

It was only then that the situation came into her view.

First, the girl standing in front of him.

I don’t know, though.

This child is his natural enemy.

A tank that doesn’t seem to take damage from fire and absorbs everything you do.

I’ve never heard of it.

If there had been a Shinga bodyguard, then that would be different, but now that there wasn’t, I couldn’t even lift a finger.

The black-haired girl seemed unfamiliar with the sudden situation.

He looked flustered, but he did not lower his shield.

And then I glanced to the side.

A gray-haired man appeared, raising his head with his hand on his forehead.

Even though he tried to brainwash her like that and administered all kinds of drugs to make her lose her mind.

It seemed like I finally came to my senses.

“Dad! Dad!!! Dadaaa …

A little girl, who appeared to be his daughter, was held in the man’s arms.

“Sha, Shasha······? Shasha!? Yes, how did you get here······!!!!”

Shin Do-hwa, who had been staring blankly at the sight, let out a hollow laugh in disbelief.

“······under.”

Because everything was ruined.

Shindohwa opened her eyes wide and stared into space.

‘Does this make sense?’

To her, this situation now seemed like a terrible nightmare.

A secret wish to elevate Shinga to the top of the world.

All the efforts I made to hide like a rat and build up my strength were completely ruined.

I can’t even do anything properly!

That was when.

Damn it.

Damn it.

A boy walking towards him caught my eye.

Long, black hair, and beautiful looks.

Those eyes were so hard and cold.

Yes. A boy who had been burning with possessive desire since the first time I saw him.

It was really great.

“Now, stop it.”

He looked at himself burning and spoke in a calm voice.

‘I kind of hate the fact that this is our first conversation······.’

At least I wanted to see you crying, frowning, or burning with hatred and blaming yourself.

The twisted desire was stirring within her even at this moment.

Shindohwa opened her mouth, raising the corners of her lips that were not moving properly.

“Do you really think you won?”

His voice was cracking, as if his vocal cords had been burned.

“Yes, it’s all over now.”

“Don’t make me laugh.”

Yeah. I can’t just be treated like this.

No matter what anyone says, I am a god.

Wasn’t it a life spent devoting one’s entire life to one’s family, with only one goal in mind: the revival of the family?

It was impossible for his end to end like this, without leaving any traces behind.

Woof─

The subspace tattoo glowed on the back of her hand.

And what came out was a bright red remote control.

She held the remote control and smiled triumphantly.

This will definitely distort that boy’s face.

“Do you know what this is?”

“no.”

“If I press this, disaster will strike this world.”

Yeah, you probably haven’t thought about it this far.

Even if it means destroying everything I had prepared.

Unless you know the future.

Usually, she didn’t like to give long explanations.

I said it because I wanted to see Jin Yu-ha’s face filled with despair.

“While you were out there dealing with the Shinga Guard and the trash, I wasn’t just playing around.”

“······.”

“I created a device that connects to the system and automatically releases the chimera.”

Shindohwa’s red eyes stared intently at Jinyuha.

“If you just press this button… thousands of chimeras will be released into the world. They are incomparable to the failures you have encountered so far.”

This was the final device prepared by Shintohwa.

‘Now, show me. A look of despair.’

Shindohwa swallowed hard, anticipating his distorted expression.

but.

Jin Yu-ha’s reaction was different from what she expected.

“Press.”

“······what?”

Shindohwa opened her eyes wide and opened her mouth.

“What does it matter to us whether chimeras spread or not?”

“Aren’t you a hero? The one who inherited the spirit of that abominable Lina─”

“What kind of spirit can you inherit from that Jammin?”

Jin Yu-ha shrugged her shoulders as if nothing had happened.

‘Was I wrong about this kid?’

It was such a calm attitude that I even had that kind of thought for a moment.

no.

That can’t be true.

Shindohwa immediately learned of Jinyuha’s existence.

What he has done so far.

And even the things that have been done behind the scenes.

I gathered information and figured it out in an instant.

Jin Yuha.

He was a man who was merciless to the wicked and even showed a seemingly cruel side.

His direction was clearly heroic.

Exactly, Lina, that unlucky woman and the hero who got together.

however.

Just let it go?

“Well, even if we let them go here, they’ll be running wild in China anyway. We’ll just go back to Korea and that’ll be the end of it.”

‘Is it acting?’

Shindohwa bit her lip.

She really didn’t like the situation right now.

This is a situation where I, who have been evaluating others my entire life, feel like I am being evaluated by someone.

“······If you thought that I was someone you couldn’t suppress until the end because of what you said, I want to tell you that you were mistaken.”

“I told you to press it?”

“I am a person who is more enthusiastic about destroying others’ things than about my own life!!!!”

Kuk-

Shindohwa bit her lips tightly and pressed the button.

And then the madness exploded.

“Yes! I pressed it! You chose it! Because of you, this world is now one step closer to destruction! If you don’t have it, I’ll destroy it!!!”

That’s when she burst out laughing all by herself.

“Mother, you are still the same.”

Shin Se-hee walked in through the crack in the door.

“······Th, Sehee?”

Shindohwa couldn’t help but let out a voice of bewilderment at her daughter’s sudden appearance.

* * *

‘Ah, my timing is off.’

In the original game, she was the one who ordered the Shinga bodyguard to release the chimera.

However, the Shinga bodyguard appeared just as the intermediate boss appeared, causing her hands and feet to disappear much earlier.

But I didn’t feel safe there.

Because I expected that the Shindohwa I knew would definitely prepare a last resort move when cornered.

‘That’s why we sent most of our forces, Kang Do-hee, Shin Se-hee, Ichika, and Sophia, over there.’

Sophia, Ichika, and Kang Do-hee walked in behind Shin Se-hee with tired faces.

Shin Do-hwa’s face still looks dumbfounded.

Shin Se-hee slowly approached her and opened her mouth.

“I’m sorry, Mother, but all of your work has been destroyed.”

Shin Do-hwa looked at Shin Se-hee with eyes that said that couldn’t be true.

“What? Oh, how could no one know that location······. Absolutely no one knows─”

Taak─

Shin Se-hee cut her off and snapped her fingers.

Okay then.

Sweep─

Ten members of Shinga’s personal guard lined up behind Shin Se-hee.

Then, Shindohwa looked at them with trembling eyes.

“Pfft! Phew, hahaha! Phewhahahahahahaha!!!”

Suddenly, he grabbed his stomach and burst into mad laughter.

“Yeah! That’s what happened! It was really a perfect setback from the start!”

“Yes, that’s right. They know where the chimeras are. And how to unlock them.”

“······Puhahahahahaha!!! How long has it been since I’ve been treated like this? Yes, that’s right. That’s right. You too can become the master of the Shinga Bodyguard. Because you inherited my blood. I never expected that.”

She spoke to Shin Se-hee with a voice still full of laughter.

“But tell me this. When on earth did it start? When Shinga headed to China? Or when you entered the Academy? Or when you were locked up in the punishment cell?”

Shin Do-hwa’s voice became faster and faster as if she couldn’t contain her curiosity.

However, Shin Se-hee shook her head indifferently.

“I can’t answer that.”

“······what?”

Then Shin Se-hee turned her head towards me.

“This is all a board designed by Jin Yu-ha.”

“We are all just words. The only difference is that my mother is the enemy’s word and I am the friend’s word.”

Then, Shindohwa, who had been blankly staring at the viewer with her mouth open, shook her head in frustration.

“······As expected. It’s my daughter. You caught a good man.”

She declared defeat, raising both hands with a somewhat relieved face.

“Yeah, you guys won. You beat me completely. Seriously, you were defeated without a fight.”
