Damned 13th Regression – 281

<Regression number 13 is damn right, episode 281>
* * *
A familiar white space.
Joo Gong-hyeok opened his eyes on the stage of massacre prepared by Sigmund.
“Gonghyuk.”
I saw Christina sitting calmly.
There was grass around and a white tea table.
She called herself here.
“Come here and see.”
She gestured and the table was already in front of her.
Christina was wearing a traditional sari as before but her eyes were calmly closed as if it could not be helped.
I asked her with her eyes closed.
“Have you finally made a decision?”
“Yes that’s right.”
“What kind of decision is this?”
“We decided to talk.”
Joo Gong-hyeok was silent.
“What conversation are you talking about?”
“This conversation with you.”
I sighed in disappointment.
“Is that the right choice?”
“….”
“You will fail.”
There was a long silence.
“Gonghyuk.”
“yes.”

“I smell blood on you.”
She covered her face with her sleeve.
“Like you said I don’t know anything. “I have a body like this unable to see or feel anything but because of that I can see as clearly as you.”
I saw Joo Gong-hyeok burning fiercely with half his body missing in the darkness.
Because they shared the same organ and avatar she had a vague idea of what Gonghyeok was doing.
“How many people have you killed without my knowledge? How could you blame Marcus? “You also deceived me.”
“….”
“Gonghyuk. “Do not slaughter in the name of justice.”
She said emphatically.
“There should be no killings done out of a sense of justice. “It’s the wrong way.”
“What is the wrong way?”
“Gonghyuk. The person your sense of justice killed was not the scum or villain in the story. “He is a single human being.”
“no. “Wrong.”
The corner of the tea table I was holding was crushed.
“The hunters I killed were irredeemable trash. It was a human species that should not exist on Earth. They are not the villains in the story. “These are killer demons that exist in reality.”
After hearing the answer she took a long time to choose her words.
“I understand your feelings but forgiving accepting observing and atonement is the right path for a person to take. “There should be ‘guidance’ not ‘slaughter.’”
“understanding?”
The dream-like sound was irritating to my ears.
‘What do you understand about me?’
What should I forgive these guys who burst people like bugs and giggled?
Is it the end if I atone? If I confess in front of you will all that horrible garbage become clean as if it had been washed?
‘no. ‘I can’t admit that.’
she doesn’t know anything
Joo Gong-hyuk bowed his head.
“teacher. “Look at reality.”
“….”
“Hunters are monsters living in the old junk. “All the good hunters died at Babel.”
A brave and just hunter dies easily.
They become a stepping stone for other hunters and easily become victims.
Only those who are selfish and stick around like bats survive.
The fact that Hunter cleared the barbell is not a big deal.
He survived because he became stronger than the devil and more poisonous than the devil.
Hunters who were imbued with Babel’s way of thinking and whose humanity was worse than that of the devil roamed the world.
The world is overflowing with selfish and even omnipotent trash.
“You can’t afford that.”
Joo Gong-hyeok has seen her failures.

Being sacrificed and destroyed.
“When I was young….”
Joo Gong-hyeok gritted his teeth.
“From the day you saved me. “You were my hero.”
A street where dungeon monsters roam.
She found herself hiding after losing her parents.
‘Hold your hand lady.’
Covered in dust she spoke awkwardly and held out her hand.
Every time I think of her trying to reassure herself with gestures and gestures in her poor Korean I laugh every time I think about it.
The more Gonghyuk entered Christina’s facility and learned more about her the more he realized it.
she is superhuman
She took time out of her busy schedule to visit the orphanage several times a year.
Every time she hugged herself with a smile on her face.
‘Gonghyuk! ‘How have you been?’
‘Yeonsi too! ‘It’s been a while!’
She remembered herself.
She did not forget one scruffy Asian kid just one of the many orphans who passed her by once.
The children hugged her neck and she hugged them stroking their heads one by one.
‘teacher! teacher! ‘Do you remember me?’
‘What’s my name~?’
‘It’s fascinating. The director smells like mommy.’
The children were excited and asked their names several times.
If this isn’t the only facility she can reach she might be mistaken and forget about one or two similar children from foreign countries she doesn’t know much about.
She remembered all those children.
Traveling around the world conquering dungeons dangerous to humanity suppressing hunter warlords opening orphanages and relief facilities and at a time when ten bodies were not enough she even tried to show affection to unknown children who sought her love.
And was it possible to sleep for even an hour?
Some would have said it was a waste of time.
But she was someone who didn’t give up.
She always says she will save everyone.
Trust anyone and forgive anyone.
Always risk your life according to your beliefs.
She was someone I couldn’t help but admire.
“I wanted to be like you teacher.”
Joo Gong-hyeok confessed for the first time.
Live your dreams and become the hero you always wanted to be.
But now I know.
The world can’t be saved her way.
“Not all humans are like you.”
Joo Gong-hyeok knew this painfully.
bang!
The tea table was broken and the grass was set on fire.
“People all over the world are not as mature in character as you are! “Half of the hunters are idiots who exploit others until they become dangerous and rationalize themselves arbitrarily even when they do shitty things!”
Gonghyeok shouted with all his might.
“That’s why someone has to take responsibility before the world ends! Even if you hear unpleasant things from other people! Even if you are called a villain by foolish scumbags who don’t even know what they are doing!!”
“Gonghyuk.”
She who had been silent opened her eyes.
Darkness thickened in the white space and flames soared.
“You are so arrogant. Everyone else is stupid trash and it’s okay to be called a villain by others as long as you are right? “What kind of sophistry are you talking about?”
“It’s not sophistry.”
Joo Gong-hyuk glared straight at her.
“I am right. “You are wrong.”
“….”
She sighed coldly.
“It is called ‘self-righteousness.’ Are you really trying to become a monster?”
“He’s a monster and a fool. “Because you are like this I am doing what you have to do.”
Joo Gong-hyeok grabbed her by the shoulders and growled.
“Look at reality. Christina C. Mahadeva! The world doesn’t go the way you think! Look at this gutter-like reality! “Don’t bring death to the world with your selfish dreams!”
“….”
In response to emotions violent fires erupted from all directions.
“Gonghyuk.”
She spoke softly in the inferno.
“Please cool your head for a moment.”
“…!!”
she disappeared
An unknown night sky spreads out and all around is a red wasteland.
The gravity was different and the atmosphere was not Earth’s.
‘An uninhabitable atmosphere filled with nothing but carbon dioxide.’
‘Mars’
Joo Gong-hyuk was placed at the top of Mount Olympus on Mars 22000 meters above sea level.
Clap-clap-clap-
Marcus walked over clapping his hands.
“Brother Gonghyuk. “Thank you for your hard work.”
“….”
“It has been decided that felons including you will be imprisoned throughout the solar system. Even though you were the first hitter it was judged to be atrocious and there was no way to improve. danger. “Incorrigible criminals will gradually be imprisoned.”
Marcus clasped his hands as he pointed to the prison built on top of the mountain.
“iced coffee! So mercifully! Your mother trusted you and sent you here without even freezing your consciousness! Let’s talk again anytime! “This is completely different treatment from criminals who are buried with their consciousness frozen!”
Marcus who was making a fuss opened his eyes hesitantly.
“But no way. “You’re not going to ignore your mother’s warmth and run out of here because you’re so angry right?”
“….”
Joo Gong-hyuk turned his gaze.
“Is the Earth over there?”
“Yes this is where your mother is.”
“go away.”
Marcus huffed and turned his back.
“sibling. This is not just an empty remark I sincerely thank you for your hard work. and….”
‘A dog that has served its purpose is boiled and eaten.’
With those last words Marcus disappeared.
Joo Gong-hyuk who was left alone on Mars leaned against the prison wall.
I quietly raised my head from Mars where sinners were buried and looked at Earth.
A beautiful blue star. The fragile pitiful dignified star that everyone once tried to protect.
* * *
A district where Joo Gong-hyeok is absent.
Christina implemented her solution.
Dialogue and persuasion.
It was an ‘eternal conversation and persuasion’ that took place in the space where Joo Gong-hyeok carried out the massacre.
“Mr. Daniel. “Are you here?”
She gestured from a tree stump in the forest.
“Let’s sit here and talk for a moment.”
A quiet cafe on a sandy beach in the forest.
In this well-decorated space Christina sat face to face with her partner and talked.
With Sigmund’s assistance and her persuasion the other person was influenced and became calm.
And if not…
“Stop talking bullshit and get me out of here!”
“You can’t do that.”
Christina said to Hunter who was wreaking havoc and destroying the space.
“You can’t leave here until you change your mind.”
“eww….”
You can’t escape by killing her and no matter how much you try there’s no way out.
After spending a month in a space where he couldn’t even sleep he felt like he was going to die.
It is a prison of the mind that cannot be escaped unless one truly atones and understands it.
“Just like Christina.”
Almog Biton commented.
“It is the ultimate means of non-violence and idealized distortion of confinement. “She gave up a lot.”
Hunter Association.
Ben-Hur asked from Christina’s hospital room.
“Is your mother okay?”
“Not yet.”
Sigmund looked carefully at Christina who was sleeping.
Persuasion in the spiritual world is Sigmund’s skill.
But doing something like Christina was impossible.
‘Keep Hunter 30000 imprisoned in infinite time.’
It was crazy to talk to each of the 30000 rampaging hunters and repeat the conversation and sermon endlessly.
‘Because Joo Gong-hyeok is a quick-fire fighter he kills enemies within 10km as quickly as possible and sets 1 second of reality to an infinite amount of time so that he can summon and kill other enemies who are unable to understand the situation but….’
In Christina’s case it is a large-scale long-term battle.
In case she missed it she extended the range outside the solar system and to ease her mental burden a day in real life was adjusted to a month in that area.
‘But if it only takes 1 month for each of 30000 people…’
The burden Christina would bear was beyond common sense even by Hunter standards.
The good news is that less than an hour after collapsing the hunters who stand up and repeatedly bow their heads towards Christina are coming out one after another.
With her deep-rooted spirit she competed head-on with the hunters’ toughness.
In some ways it is a foolish and idealistic method.
However it was an extremely disadvantageous fight in which he had to defeat the fundamental evil and selfishness of the world alone.
