Chapter 127

Surado Guild.

“finished… !”

“Everyone passes with this!”

All of the special class students finally made it through the Golem’s Cradle. Everyone was happy, but Irua was still expressionless.

Of course, it was only on the outside, but I was very happy with the students’ achievements.

‘Let’s do it a little earlier.’

There was also some regret.

If she had achieved results more quickly, she would have been able to go on a field trip with Kang Tae-min.

‘It wasn’t a pleasant school trip, but… .’

She heard about what happened in the underground from Inoa.

Still, if all the special classes had gone, there would have been no entanglement with the villains. Even if they experienced gate labor, it would have been done only by students.

But most of all, I regret it.

‘I want to do both hard work and fun work together… .’

It was the fact that I couldn’t share the same experience with someone I liked.

But she wasn’t depressed all the time.

‘Still, the one sunbaenim trusts and relies on the most is probably me.’

He knows more about Kang Tae-min than anyone else. That’s why he will be more comfortable with himself than with others.

Thinking about it made me feel better.

‘So let’s be faithful to our duties.’

In the first place, she had lived a life of following orders. Irua regained her energy and clapped her hands lightly.

The sound drew the students’ attention to her.

“Good job everyone. There was a message from the homeroom teacher to pass on everything.”

Everyone was nervous at the word Kang Tae-min’s message.

“Today is a drinking party!”

Irua said while holding the card. The pupils’ eyes widened.

In response, she remembered Kang Tae-min’s words.

– This time the training period was quite long. If you squeeze too much, it’s hard to recover.

Kang Tae-min decided to use the compensation he received from the association. In terms of the cost of the party, it wasn’t much in terms of proportion.

“Dining together! Dining together!”

“Sam! where are you going?”

“Of course we should go to the buffet!”

A blush spread across the students’ faces. Irua shook her card at the last words.

“It’s okay even if it’s not a buffet. There is no limit on the amount of money, and we go where we want to eat.”

“Oh oh… !?”

“Korean beef? Do you want Korean beef?”

“Ah, I want to fill up the circuit.”

“Then, how about meatballs with the two of you together?”

While some students are excitedly contemplating the menu.

“Me, but what about teacher Taemin?”

“Are you going without Master?”

Min So-yul and Joo Da-hyun asked Lee Lu-ah. Irua shook her head.

“Unfortunately, the homeroom teacher will be busy with the Association for a while.”

“ah… .”

The two students were a little sullen, but then nodded. Before long, they also got along with the students and started talking about the dinner.

Irua thought as she looked at the children making a fuss over the menu selection.

-You have to feed it something to squeeze it again.

The fact that Kang Tae-min is resting for a reason.

Torso’s hideout.

“Ughhh.”

She hummed through the rumbling of the wheels. Atop her cart was a weeping man mixed with rocks.

Eventually, she arrived at the room where she produced chimeras.

“Come on, I’ll let you talk, so I’m talking. Which one do you like?”

With her ability, she removed the rock from the trembling man. To be precise, the fused rocks were fused back into another place.

Thanks to this, the skin disappeared from the mouth of the person whose rock disappeared, revealing muscles and teeth.

“ah… ugh… .”

He just groaned and groaned. I was already insane.

“Then you can think of it as entrusting it to me?”

“Ah… ah… !”

“Okay! I’ll pick out a good one!”

Slowly, slowly, the wheel started rolling again. Mad with fear, his teeth chattered and made noise.

But Torso did not stop. She smiled and stopped in front of one of the motionless chimeras.

“This is your new body! We are now becoming one!”

The chimera she created was not alive. It was because there was no place to capture and store the monsters that would be the material in the first place.

So she asked Pete to slay monsters to procure them. Pete’s portal was not so difficult as it was possible not only to move but also to attack by cutting space.

The cut surface was clean, so it didn’t look bad even after fusion.

She needed a soul to control this chimera, and intended to use the remaining humans as pilots.

“Oh, of course he’ll be asleep until I wake him up.”

Saying that, she showed the glass canisters placed on the side. It contained some of the brain tissue of the humans who had already become pilots.

When the time comes, she intends to re-fuse that brain tissue with the remaining brain tissue in the chimera and activate it.

“Ahhh… !”

It wasn’t easy to accept just because he kindly explained it. He looked at the brain tissue floating in the glass container and the human head mingled with other chimeras, and he panicked.

Torso looked at the man and put on a puzzled expression.

– You, you are crazy!

That look brought back old memories. My fists were clenched and my body trembled.

– Get out of my sight!

Her birth parents are divorced.

Her biological father gave up her upbringing, and Torso grew up with her mother.

And soon after, she had a stepfather. But even that didn’t last long.

It was because her mother had an affair with another man and ran away.

– Oh, Dad…

she was anxious

She wasn’t her own daughter. She was afraid that her stepfather would abandon her, that she would be alone.

-It’s fine. Daddy won’t leave.

Fortunately, my stepfather was a good man. But the problem was with Torso.

-you… what are you doing?!

-Because I, I will take the place of my mother… !

She had already let her father go once. Torso wanted to hold on to his stepfather at all costs.

Make sure to read from noble mtl dot com

Literally by any means.

But it was a bad choice.

– No, no. He first met me… !

With her stepfather gone, she was driven mentally. There were hyenas everywhere targeting her.

They whispered false love, and Torso believed it. As evidence of that, he wanted to mix his body, and at least for that moment he wasn’t lonely.

-Why are you doing this when you know everything?

– No, are you tired?

– I can’t be with you.

– You’re an obsessive dog, really.

But in the end, shallow relationships are easily torn apart. Her spirit crumbled over time.

And the world has changed.

“… Why do we become one?”

Torso grabbed the struggling man’s face. She could now become one with anyone.

“I’m scared? It’s fine.”

Torso’s fingers melted into his face. The man started to shiver.

“I am not lonely anymore. You will live in me.”

I could feel the cerebral cortex through the skull. Torso combined some of the human brain cells he had used as a material with his own brain.

“Can you feel it? huh? Is not it?”

It wasn’t that the personality was divided into many. Being one with someone else’s body was important to her.

-The world united, I am very looking forward to that.

Head recognized her like that. Together they prayed for the world she desired to come.

– I am truly moved that you want to become one with me.

Torso wanted to become one with Head, who had accepted him. But I couldn’t.

-Unfortunately, I won’t be able to cheer for that wind. I was not allowed that freedom.

She wasn’t lying like the people who had abandoned her before. Even if she used her abilities, she couldn’t become one with Head.

“Uhm… !”

Torso, who soon returned to his original expression, smiled brightly. Before I knew it, the head of the victim was attached to the body of the chimera.

She carefully stored a small piece of brain tissue in one hand in a glass jar.

“Not long left! Fighting!”

You can’t disappoint Head’s expectations.

I don’t want to fall off the head.

I want to be with the head.

I will definitely become one.

Torso reflected on his aspirations, and this time he was determined to succeed.

Miss Backdoor’s pawn shop.

She shook her head.

The information Kang Tae-min delivered after a long time was quite valuable.

“Hmm, if that’s the case, it’s not difficult. I have already done something similar.”

“Are you talking about the scaler?”

“Yes. It’s a bit broader than that, but it’s a cost you can afford.”

She had already tracked down the leader of the Scalers. At that time, I also tried bypass transactions with limited information.

“But you don’t know his real name?”

“I do not know.”

“Um, it won’t work under the name Torso, so I’ll have to limit it to humans.”

Miss Backdoor shrugged. How many humans are there in the DMZ full of monsters?

Eventually, when she activated her ability, her pupils were colored with starlight.

Mr. Rock focused his attention on responding at any time.

“Um… .”

Then she let out a short moan and closed her eyes. The starlight had already disappeared and returned with black eyes.

“Why?”

“uh… Surprisingly, there are a lot of people, right?”

Miss Backdoor frowned and turned on the map. And I checked the spots she found out.

Kang Tae-min waited for the sign to end and nodded.

“It will be here.”

“Here you go? Are there the most people?”

“The torsos held people in to use them as material.”

In response, Miss Backdoor also nodded.

“Umm, then the people dispersed here are probably military rangers.”

“I guess so. Not too far from the border.”

Ranger, as the name implies, refers to troops in charge of reconnaissance and patrol.

It was operated periodically to prevent the case that monsters of a level that the army could not handle were moving south.

“Hmm, but I think I’ve been pretty deep… .”

After North Korea collapsed, neighboring countries China, Russia and South Korea became more wary of each other.

It was because if any of the three countries tried to advance into North Korea, they had to deal with it.

Thanks to that strange balance, North Korea’s Awakeners built their own powers without foreign intervention, and became the current state.

‘I wouldn’t normally go this deep, right?’

In this situation, it could be a problem if the military rangers were discovered by the North Koreans.

Each of the awakened forces in North Korea was maintaining contacts with neighboring countries behind the scenes in order to gain an upper hand.

However, Miss Backdoor’s thoughts ended there.

“Good work.”

While she muttered, Kang Tae-min turned around. Since the business was over, there was nothing more to see.

As he was about to go back, Miss Backdoor stood up as well.

“Thank you for the good deal every time.”

“… I forgot to tell you one thing.”

Kang Tae-min, who was about to leave, stopped walking and turned his head.

“You’d better stick with him for now.”

“Yes?”

Mr. Rock also raised his eyebrows to say something. Kang Tae-min spoke calmly.

“The Chimera invasion prepared by Torso will happen.”

“… Yes?”

she couldn’t understand

Wasn’t he commissioned to investigate to catch Torso? But the chimera invasion doesn’t stop?

“If his plan goes ahead, we can catch him.”

On the other hand, Kang Tae-min calmly replied.

Torso would think this was a terrorist attack or a surprise attack.

‘No, this is a trap you fell into yourself.’

Kang Tae-min intended to use this in reverse.
