I Became a Framed Villain

198 – Final Battle (8)

– Shake it off…

As the white flash that filled the building disappears, the sound of something falling echoes.

“”……..””

It was, of course, the body of the concept of kindness that tenaciously endured.

“Hello?”

As I sit down and look at it blankly, the concept of death that was sitting on me greets me brightly.

“…Did I do well?”

“……..”

“Or did I do something wrong? Should I apologize?”

I wanted to answer her question, but my priority was to check whether the enemy was alive or dead.

– Sigh…

“Don’t hit me. You were wrong.”

For this reason, I carefully approach the fallen concept of kindness and extend my hand forward, and the flinching concept of death mutters.

Was abuse the norm in the ‘laboratory’ that I briefly recalled earlier?

“…I won’t hurt you.”

“Really?”

“As long as you don’t hurt me.”

After calming her down, I reached out to her again and felt the pulse of her kindness.

‘…He’s dead.’

He was already growing cold and there was no longer any sign of life.

Well, it’s strange that he’s alive even though he was completely defeated by the power of the concept of death.

Anyway, surprisingly, he was a neat guy in the end.

The concept of humility comes from begging for one’s life right before death.

“Hey, but where am I?”

“…….”

“Why are you here? Are you here to have fun? But something doesn’t feel right.”

As I was lost in thought for a moment, the concept of death, which had been slightly off to the side, chattered away.

‘This guy… Is the key to this operation.’

According to her strategy presented by Lumia, the core of her current operation is none other than her.

Her role is crucial to stopping Isea’s plan of destroying the world and saving her sister.

But there is still something I don’t understand.

‘How on earth are we going to get this guy’s memories back now?’

According to Lumia, awakening the concept of death is essential for the implementation of the strategy, and for that awakening, the concept of death must regain memory.

But isn’t this guy the guy you originally had no memories of?

I wonder what memories there are that need to be revived in artificial life forms created in a laboratory.

– Ji-ing… Ji-ing…

As she was scratching her head and thinking about such things, a ringtone rang from her pocket.

＞ Hey, when will you take it out…?

＞ People who came in suddenly are complaining that it is wet and sticky…

＞ It’s scary and uncomfortable…

＞ Well, I was almost caught up in the first place, so why…

When I checked my smartphone, I found that a lot of messages had arrived containing the real Pandora’s dissatisfaction.

‘Well, when the concept of death comes to the fore, I just have to eat it all again…’

I wanted to carry it around in the stomach of a safe cat, but the loss of morale is a serious matter.

– Rumbling…

“When are they going to take it out… Wow!?”

“Oh my!”

“…Bastard.”

Because of this, when Kkeuleuk opens his mouth and pours out his companions outside at once, shouts and swear words can be heard from all over the place.

“Hey! Next time, please do things by agreement!”

“When I’m done… I’ll kill you.”

“hehehehe, I guess getting eaten by an octopus once is enough.”

I don’t know when they ask me to take it out, and why they do this now.

– Sigh…

“Senior.”

As I was scratching my head with that thought in mind, I suddenly felt a person next to me.

“I have a headache so be quiet…”

“That’s not it.”

This time, I tried to block Rumia in advance because I was afraid she would say something nonsense, but her expression was more serious than ever.

“The end has slowly arrived.”

“…….”

“In order for the plan to succeed, you must accompany me from now on.”

Why? For some reason, that looks uncomfortable.

“And… With that kid too.”

“…Hello?”

“The concept of death… That is.”

From Noble mtl dot com

It wasn’t just an uncomfortable feeling that he was going to betray me or that he had a dark plan.

It was on a slightly different level from that, but it still felt like something was stopping me and it was hard to explain.

“…But now I can’t leave behind the colleagues who came with me.”

“Um… Just a moment.”

When I tried to ignore that feeling and opened my mouth, Lumia, who had been quietly tilting her head, turned her head back.

“Everyone~”

“””……..?”””

“Kang Ha-neul and this nameless kid will go upstairs to patrol, so please wait a moment~”

Then she suddenly raised her voice and declared that to her companions.

“Whoever wants…”

“Hmm… To be honest, I still don’t trust that woman…”

Immediately, her companions began to react in rejection.

“…I’ll be back soon.”

“But only if you go with me…”

“…I feel irritated for some reason.”

“Look. The investigation is important. I don’t know what the stomach is like, so that judgment is correct…”

I added in a low voice after receiving Lumia’s notice, and soon the dissatisfaction gradually subsided.

“…….”

Only Ariel, who had been silent for some reason since entering this building, was looking at us with a pale expression for some reason.

“Okay?”

Anyway, in that situation, Lumia shrugged her shoulders and winked at me.

‘…Why does it feel familiar?’

“Come on, then let’s go.”

I was tilting my head because it seemed familiar to me, and before I knew it, I was being led by Lumia’s hand and started climbing the stairs.

“Where are we going?”

Along with the concept of death, which still had a bright expression on its face.

“Hmm… I’ve posted quite a lot, but there’s nothing special?”

“…….”

“Isn’t that right? Senpai?”

As I was climbing the stairs in silence for a while, Lumia, who was standing next to me, asked me a question, wondering where I had put all the seriousness I had shown earlier.

“Hey, I have a question.”

“Yes?”

“She must regain her memories of the concept of death before she awakens, what does this mean?”

I asked her the truth I had always been curious about.

“Is that literally?”

Then she answered as if she was asking something like that.

“No… For this child… Something…”

After thinking about the concept of death for a moment, I soon tilted my head towards Lumia’s ear and began to whisper in a low voice.

“…You don’t remember anything from the beginning, right?”

“Oh?”

“What kind of memory can you restore to a child who has no memory from the beginning?”

Then, Rumia frowned slightly and responded like that.

“…You remember, right?”

“What?”

“I remember the previous episode. The episode where you and the concept of death were so close that we even went to an amusement park…”

Rumia responded to those words with a puzzled expression, but she momentarily closed her mouth with an expression of disappointment.

“”……””

And then the silence began.

“You… How do you know that?”

“…Yes?”

“How do you know the content of the dream I’ve been dreaming of all along?”

In that silence, I began to urgently question Lumia, who was avoiding my gaze.

“…What should I do if you ask me that now?”

“……..”

“I know almost everything about this world…”

She just answered vaguely.

‘Then those dreams…’

Seeing that, what she was still unsure about becomes completely clear.

‘…It really happened.’

The realistic dreams I’ve had so far actually happened in the previous episode.

If it is really true that Lumia next to me is a ‘possessed person’ from another dimension, then that is a certain fact.

‘Then…’

And if that is true, then the true dark side that used dice to repeat this world over and over again.

It’s no different…

“Hey, senior?”

“…Ah.”

“You need to concentrate, right?”

I was lost in thought with a pale complexion, but was suddenly brought back to my senses by Rumia’s voice coming from next to her.

“You never know when danger might come?”

“Well…”

“Well, it’s okay since I’m next to you…”

Finally, listening to her still indifferent voice, I tried to take her steps upward again.

“…I can feel it.”

“”…….?””

The concept of death suddenly grabbed my arm and opened its mouth, and Lumia and I began to look at it with bewildered expressions.

“It’s a bit harsher than usual, but I’m sure.”

“What?”

“Living.”

The moment those words came out of her mouth.

“I feel alive.”

– Kugugugugugugugu…!

Suddenly, the ceiling directly above us began to shake with a loud noise.

“What is this…”

“Gooooo…!”

A strange howling sound that enveloped us before we could even react to such a situation, freezing us to the core.

– Boom, boom, boom…!

The next moment, what caught our eyes.

“Oh my god…”

“…Hmm.”

“Wow. It looks interesting.”

It was something so horribly twisted that I couldn’t even describe it with the vocabulary I had.

“Gooooo?”

I am finally beginning to understand why the concept of kindness took so long and even cost us our lives.

“A monster fusion made of main ships…”

“…Sir, I want to throw up.”

“…Looking at it again, it’s ugly.”

– Scratch…

Meanwhile, at that time. 1St floor of the building.

“Uh, hey?”

“Student?”

“What…?”

Ariel, who had been frozen in place for a long time, suddenly gritted her teeth and started running towards the stairs.

– Purge Jiji Jijik…

As he raised his red sparks throughout her body to the maximum.

“Why are you acting like that all of a sudden?”

“It’s not good to act alone…”

“Ha… This is the first time I’ve seen a team-up where teamwork isn’t as good as this…”

Her companions belatedly tried to stop her, but Ariel had already gone far up there.

“…I don’t like it.”

For some reason, there were a lot of tears in my eyes.

“I don’t want to do it twice…!”
