Chapter 140 – Chapter 140 – Origin Wisdom (29)

“What the hell is this…”

I blankly stared at the well in front of me.

A large well filled with thick blood.

Even if this sight suddenly jumped out, I would have been embarrassed.

I instinctively noticed that this well was the one that appeared in the first trial, and I was shocked beyond embarrassment.

“What the hell is this…”

Mouth didn’t close.

No matter how much I looked around, the well from the first trial was correct.

The sheer cliff behind the well and the neatly grown grass and small flowers nearby.

Obviously, the beautiful scenery nearby was the same, but only one.

The clear blue water in the well had turned into thick blood.

Jerk, jerk.

I could move and feel my body in the last ordeal just like the first one.

So I slowly approached the well.

It was because there was only a well in sight anyway, and my senses instinctively whispered to me to go there.

As he approached, the thick blood on top of the well filled his vision.

A calm, motionless sleep of blood.

Before being overwhelmed by this sight, as if high-viscosity paint had been dissolved, I felt a strange thing.

‘… What?’

The scent of blood filling the tip of the nose.

And the blood that is sticky and filling the well.

When I first saw it, I just watched it because of my instinctive reluctance, but let’s get used to it.

Gradually new information entered my brain.

It smelled fishy, ​​but sweet.

It was a terrible sight, but somehow I felt at ease.

Yes.

I don’t know why, but I’m gradually feeling familiar with the well in front of me.

I even doubted my senses at this absurd feeling.

Rather, the more I doubted my senses, the clearer the senses I felt.

I was definitely being drawn to this well of blood.

Besides, like the first ordeal, the ordeal was leading me into this well.

‘Accept, and watch.’

“Shit.”

Confused by the gap between reason and senses, let’s listen to the instinct whispered by the ordeal.

I realized that no matter what I did, I had to get into this well anyway.

Gulp.

He waved his hand over the well, which even felt something sweet.

The sticky blood wrapped around my hand, and at my gesture the surface of the blood that filled the well shook.

Swoop.

Perhaps because of its high viscosity, unlike water, a slow, dark red shimmer spread over the well.

“I’m going crazy, really.”

It was a terrifying sight to look at, but for some reason, the familiarity with the well deepened.

Now, even if the ordeal wasn’t a whispered instinct, I personally even felt like falling into the well.

“Yeah, if you have to do it anyway, you have to do it.”

Even if he thought about it, there were no other options.

The only option is to go inside.

So I took a deep breath… And slowly put my foot into the well of blood.

Gloop, Gloop.

A well of blood engulfed my leg.

It doesn’t feel like you’re falling in, but it feels like you’re putting your feet deep into a layer of thinly sliced ​​pudding.

“Whoop.”

Taking another deep breath, I immediately threw myself into the well of blood.

I didn’t hear the sound of a splash.

All I hear is a gurgling sound, as if something is falling into the swamp.

After entering the well of blood, I closed my eyes and tried to move my limbs.

Shuwook, Shuuk.

It takes a bit of strength, but the limbs are definitely moving.

Realizing that there was no strain on the movement, I slowly moved on to the next step.

Sup.

Thick blood rushing to the tip of the nose.

The sweet scent of blood filled my brain and at the same time a handful of air entered my lungs.

‘I can breathe.’

Having been in the well before, I knew it was so deep that I couldn’t see the bottom.

So I thought I would be able to breathe, but as expected, I was able to breathe.

It’s not normal blood.

Although I had noticed to some extent as soon as I saw the blood that instinctively drew me to it, I was sure now.

Awesome.

I was breathing with blood, so I opened my eyes with nothing to bother me anymore.

Inside filled with sticky red blood.

The calm, unmoving red liquids showed their slow-moving appearance as I sank.

A landscape full of silence and blood.

Not knowing where to stop, just sinking deeper and watching this scene, there was only one thought in my head.

‘… It is comfortable.’

Strangely, it was so comfortable.

Previously, when I sank into the clear blue water, a vague sense of fear welled up.

There was no fear or worry in this blood now.

Even if you are sucked into a deep place where you can’t even see the bottom, no matter what happens.

I just blinked blankly at the comfort and comfort that this blood gave me.

Fetus.

It was as if the pond was holding me.

Reason in the corner of my head warned me that it might be dangerous, but I, already immersed in this comfort, stretched my body.

Feel your body sinking endlessly, enjoying the comfortable sensation while being tickled.

I sank into a well of sticky blood.

‘… Ah.’

How long had I been inside the pond, I heard a sound like someone whispering in my ear.

Unlike me, that small sound was letting out a thin moan as if the blood was in pain.

‘Ah ah ah ah ah…’

A faint moaning sound was heard again.

I wanted to sink all the way down, but I couldn’t ignore the sound any longer.

I shook off the encroaching comfort and looked around.

Shu Woo-wook, Shu Woo-wook-.

Then, I was able to notice the abnormality taking place in this space filled with dark blood.

Red lines that are bundled and twisted like blood vessels.

A little girl surrounded by it.

As if conceiving a child artificially, surrounded by red lines, the crouching girl wriggled.

‘Ahhh…’

As if in pain, the girl who had been crouching down on her body groaned and turned her head to this side for a moment.

Golden eyes.

Golden eyes that were torn with vertical pupils looked at me.

“……!”

I was short of breath.

Overwhelmed by the golden eyes, even for an instant, I stiffened my body while looking at them.

The girl looked up at me blankly, and she slowly reached out her hand.

Woo woo woo woo-.

The clogged blood vessels around the girl were ripped out.

And she twisted her body.

Hard-!

Hidden scales protruded from the pure white skin.

Its slender body gradually grew larger, creating a long tail.

In an instant, she transformed from a girl into a dragon and swam towards us.

Shu Woo-wook-.

Another dragon swimming round and round around me as if to wrap around me like last time.

A waterspout rises in a calm stream of blood, and I slowly begin to float upward with the dragon.

And while watching this, I naturally had an idea.

‘Different.’

It was so different.

Compared to her mother pulling up the blue water from below and heading to the ground, this girl’s updraft was of a different class.

Moreover, as if to prove that my thoughts were correct, the glittering green scales attached to the girl’s body did not cover her entire body, but only half of her body.

Fuhuaaaaak-!

Anyway, the green dragon jumped out to the surface, pulling me up, stumbled in the air for a moment, then shrunk itself.

White skin and shiny green hair that stretched from the waist down.

Returning back to the form of a girl, the nameless dragon got out of the pond and struggled to breathe.

“Kelluk, Kellook.”

She sat down outside the pond and let out her cough.

Was it the blood from the pond, or the blood from the throat?

Spitting out an unknown red liquid on the floor, she exhaled heavily and looked at me.

Support position-.

There was noise in an instant, and I couldn’t see the face in detail.

Golden eyes among the noise.

All I could tell was that golden eyes that were torn vertically were looking at me.

“… Come… Bur…”

Support position-.

The noise was torn apart.

The moment the girl’s face was gradually revealed.

My vision went black, and darkness fell.

* *

“Heo-eok, heo-eok.”

Returning from the third ordeal, I was out of breath.

The golden eyes that were looking at me, and the blood that smelled sweet from the tip of my nose.

As the sensations surrounding my body disappeared in an instant, I felt a momentary sense of exhaustion.

Let’s clench our fists to recognize that I’ve come back on my own.

Miho, Lee Mi-hee, and Lee Mi-na, who had been opening the space of trials until now, supported me while sweating.

“You worked hard, Han Jun-ah.”

Miho placed my head on her thigh and whispered to me to rest in peace.

“… Yes, you worked hard.”

Lee Mi-hee kneaded my arm and gave me words of encouragement.

Imina also hovered around me, wagging her tail restlessly.

Surrounded by the smell of the sweet sweat of the Tailed Foxes, not the sweet blood, the tension that had been binding me involuntarily was released.

I, who was lying on Miho’s lap in a daze, opened my mouth.

“The well my mother first ascended to heaven. The well was filled with blood. The blood was not simple blood, but a strange blood that I felt safe in. When I entered it, I saw a certain girl…”

As I explained everything I had been through step by step, Lee Mi-ryeong, who was sweating coldly while touching the fox beads, smiled strangely at me.

“You’ve had a lot of trouble going through the three trials so far. As soon as the son-in-law finishes the third trial, all the conditions are met, and the Wisdom of Prayer descends. Listen to it.”

“…!”

Advice that can definitively twist the future in a good direction, foreknowledge of origin.

I wondered what the one piece of advice that all the trials I had been through so far could be.

Even in the midst of exhaustion, he gathered his mental strength and maintained his composure.

Lee Mi-ryeong drew an arc line with her lips as if seeing me like this was admirable, and she continued without hesitation.

“Unconditional kindness and trust to strangers.”

“Yes…?”

“Unconditional kindness and trust to strangers. This is the son-in-law’s wishful wisdom. Remember.”

Broad, unspecific advice.

However, after hearing this advice that could surely twist the future… I slowly reflected this content in my head.
