Chapter 341 From beast to man (4)

The girl raised her fingertips and pointed to the ‘Gonggidol’.

Now, what is called Gonggidol? It was because the shape had collapsed after he started playing with Maria and was now just a pile of corpses.

And the girl spoke frankly.

“dead body.”

“Yeah. That’s a corpse.”

Maria grinned and muttered. The girl had little knowledge of her, but fortunately she was a quick learner.

It didn’t matter to Maria that one of her first learned words was the bloody word corpse.

Her girl’s fingertips turned to Maria.

“Not a corpse.”

“Yeah. It’s not a corpse yet. But a person would be better than that. Human. Saaraam.”

“Saaraam.”

The girl grinned and pointed again to the pile of corpses.

“Ann Saaraam.”

“Yes, yes.”

Maria nodded her head. Her ‘than her thoughts’ girl readily accepted her own will.

Aside from her bizarre powers, the girl, at least compared to other children, was one of the most obedient to her. At least she looked nicer than her nephew.

Maria hates her kids, and she prefers to keep her away from her, but she liked the simplicity of her maneuverability. It doesn’t matter to her that the kid can break her own whole body in an instant.

‘No, it doesn’t matter.’

If this girl had not had such power, she would be to Maria just one of those common war orphans.

But anyway, the world is not equal. Even the same orphan could be worshiped as a god or ignored like a grain of sand in the desert.

Or being treated like a monster and killed.

Maria slowly organized her thoughts as she watched the girl learn her newly learned letters quickly.

The girl was now soft enough to reach a human level. But she must not become a fully human being as she is.

‘That’s an uncontrollable force. Even if you can control it, it’s too dangerous a force to give to anyone! You must get rid of it!’

It was as if I could hear Samuel’s voice in my ear.

What he said was not wrong. A being with this power must not grow into an adult with a complete and independent self.

God is a being that can be affirmed only when it is useful as a tool.

Maria looked back slowly.

She knew that Victor and Samuel were watching her. But what she was seeing was a bearded man hiding in a more secret place than him.

A rich man from Saudi Arabia who is said to be a supporter of this armed guerrilla organization. He hasn’t taken off her watch for a moment from the moment Maria set her feet here.

‘If this kid is tamed, I’m going to take her away right away.’

Or we will try a similar method.

Once you tame the girl, the rest doesn’t really matter. Maria, already seriously injured, will not be able to resist.

She wondered if she could even expect her own protection from the girl.

It will be difficult for her to convey her meaning until the crisis is directly encountered in the first place.

The girl was still just a beast.

She said, ‘Before that, you should definitely tie a leash.’

Maria started preparing to take her next steps.

***

What is right, what is wrong

In Paradise, man could not tell the distinction. Only God could draw that distinction clearly.

Therefore, right and wrong, good and evil, were determined only by God.

The tree of good and evil means wisdom, and the snake means curiosity. By eating the Fruit of Good and Evil, human beings came to know what was right and what was wrong, and what they were ashamed of and what they could be proud of.

Thus, the animals of paradise became humans.

***

Samuel was still waiting for Mary.

It had been more than three days since Maria hung out with the girl without her food or treatment. There were sacrifices on the altar she had dedicated to the girl, but they were slowly running out.

Above all, Maria needed treatment.

“When will you come out?”

“Professor Maria, I don’t think she’ll come out until she’s satisfied. But anyway, she’s still alive and not dead, so there’s something going on, isn’t it?”

“Then you have to take care of your body even more thoroughly.”

“If you’re really worried, if you’re a doctor, go in… No, I think we should take care of our bodies first.”

Victor stood up with a nervous expression on his face. Samuel found Mohammed entering the crypt where they were. Five armed men followed Mohammed.His beard made it difficult to read his emotions, but it was evident on the surface that he was feeling nervous.

Mohammed shouted something to Samuel. Samuel’s expression turned pale.

“What do you mean?”

Victor felt that the situation was dire by the look on Samuel’s face.

Before Samuel could interpret, armed guerrillas grabbed his arm and began to drag him away.

Victor almost pulled out the weapon he had hidden in his moment.

When he first met, the weapons that were taken from him were all for camouflage. There were plenty of other hidden weapons. Including the guns the CIA hid in this crypt.

But then he changed his mind when he saw Samuel rushing on his own feet rather than being led away.

Victor pretends to be dragged along with him, and he follows Samuel.

“what happened?”

“Maria… Professor Maria is said to be dead. She was murdered by the girl.”

***

Victor and Samuel soon arrived inside the canyon. They stopped outside the girl’s borders and watched the situation.

Maria was lying on the floor not far from the girl.

She was mingled in the pile of her corpse, horribly broken with all her limbs.

But to be honest with her, she already said that she wasn’t sure if she was really dead or not, because Maria had been around for a few days and she was close to a wreck.

“Dr. Samuel, are you sure he’s dead? It sure looks bad, but…”

Then Victor found the girl’s figure. The girl was playing with Maria, throwing the dumplings she had made while humming her songs.

The target was the pile of corpses on which Mary was lying. The dumplings that were carefully crafted were being crushed by the corpses.

“…it seems that she has lost interest in Maria.”

Samuel mumbled groaningly.

It was life-threatening from the beginning. But when she saw Maria lying around like that, she felt a strange disgust build up in her.

Victor whispered, trying to suppress his personal feelings.

“Dr. Samuel. Be careful.”

Victor slowly took his hand to his waist.

If Maria had died, she was clear what he had to do. Destroy the girl and this place and protect Samuel to escape.

But before Victor could act, Mohammed shouted something to Samuel.

“Obviously she asks if Maria doesn’t say she’s an expert. If she’s a professional, does she believe she should be able to deal with all those monsters….”

“Isn’t it impossible to tame a monster even if someone other than Maria comes?”

The only hope is that that girl might be a human, not a monster. At least it would be easy to kill.

Mohammed shouted something at the guerrillas. In an instant, one of the guerrillas pushed Samuel into the ‘line’.

When time seemed to stiffen, Victor pulled out a single shotgun hidden inside his belt.

A gunshot rang out.

As soon as Samuel’s feet touched the ground, Victor pulled out his sword and put a knife in the neck of another guerrilla next to him. When Samuel fell on the floor, he had already subdued four and shot the last one with the stolen automatic rifle. there was.

Mohammed, whose men were killed in an instant, shouted something with a pale expression on his face.

But Victor squealed and ran to Mohammed quickly, grabbing him by the neck.

The guerrillas who were just about to sniper Victor from above the canyon had to let go of the trigger.

“Shut up, you bastards who play camels!”

It wasn’t a good pronunciation, but an angry roar poured out from above the canyon.

Samuel, who was pounding his butt wheel, was looking at Victor with a puzzled expression.

“Did you know how to speak this way?”

“If you want to fight a war in that country, you have to know the level of swearing in that country.”

Samuel was humble at first, but Victor really didn’t seem to understand anything but curses.

Mohammed was constantly pouring out something to Victor, but Victor didn’t respond.

Samuel looked back carefully. The girl’s gaze was already on this side.

But she didn’t do anything.

She didn’t know if it was the commotion that she was watching this way, or if Samuel had come in.

Samuel tried to get out of line, but Victor had a different idea.

Victor stopped Samuel from leaving.

“Mr. Victor?”

Victor hugged Mohammed’s neck tightly, contemplating how to end the situation.

There is a monster behind his back, and armed guerrillas are swarming in front.

There weren’t many options.

‘No, there is only one thing.’

Victor quickly dragged Mohammed into the ‘line’. Mohammed stepped into the line and started to writhe in a flash of light.

However, when Victor struck one, there was no choice but to be dragged in. Samuel looked at him in bewilderment when even Victor entered the line.

“What do you think?”

“If Professor Maria didn’t spend three days in vain, this would be the safest place.”

“What is that…”

Before Samuel could finish speaking, there was an explosion.

Stones poured down in an explosion that shook the entire canyon. The panicked guerrillas jumped out from here and there and started to run away.

The binge didn’t end with just one shot, but destroyed all over the canyon.

“You’re lucky. If the air support arrives on time, it’s something you have to do with luck. It seems that you are a token of my luck.”

Suddenly, a huge explosion shook the canyon.

From the entrance of the crypt dug out of the canyon, a huge amount of dust was poured out with flames. And the guerrillas who had been hiding like cockroaches in the crypt poured out.

The guerrillas, who could not tell the front and the back because of the dust, ran over the ‘line’.

In an instant, Victor and Samuel mingled among the guerrillas.

The bomber, which was pouring out firepower from above the distant sky, did not miss its target even in the clouds of dust.

Seeing the firepower pouring down right in front of him, Victor spit out swear words and ran away. Samuel hurriedly followed behind him and shouted.

“It’s safe!”

“Because I’m only supposed to signal when I’m out of the canyon!”

But there was no way to get the message to the bombers.

Victor and Samuel had no choice but to run towards the girl. It wasn’t clear which one would be a better way to preserve the corpse, but still didn’t have many options.

“noisy.”

It was then.

A familiar voice came from beyond the faint clouds of dust.

It was a dying voice, but I could hear it right away.

Victor exclaimed warmly.

“Maria! Are you still not dead?”

“Anyway… things that have a quick temper… they haven’t finished their education yet…”

Maria was crawling on the floor with her elbows.

It was difficult for her to find any part of her body intact, but her consciousness seemed surprisingly clear. She wondered if she had even slept for three days.

Then Victor discovered strange traces around Maria. It was the corpses of guerrillas pressed to the floor like an Egyptian mural.

She had no reason to wonder what and how she did this. Victor realized at some point that the binge had stopped.

Once the operation was started, it would proceed until it was completely destroyed, so there was no way to stop it already.

“Come on, honey.”

Maria looked tired, dying, but she raised the corner of her mouth and whispered.

“It’s time to review what you’ve learned.”

As soon as Victor lifted his head, he realized why the binge had stopped.

Hundreds of shells from bombers were still in the air, captured and stopped.

The shells were being captured anew in real time. The girl hums her lyric, which her Maria taught her, and holds her dumplings in her hands.

Then she threw the bloody dirt dumplings at the face of Mohammed, which Victor had brought.

perch.

Mohammed’s head disappeared with a light noise.

But Victor, who was right next to him, was not hurt.

Samuel nearly collapsed at the sound of his life disappearing so lightly.

Soon, the shells the girl was holding on to, all at once, rained down toward the cliff and flew away.

A roar like the screams of nature resounded. The canyon could not withstand the shock applied at once and collapsed.

Just before the colossal cloud of dust and debris came in, Samuel could see her Mary.

Maria was smiling.

Only then did Samuel notice the ‘education’ that Mary was doing at her end.

Maria was teaching the girl how to identify her ‘target’.

“Get wisdom, know discernment and reason. Beast.”

What can be killed, what can be saved. Who is on our side and who is the bad guy? What is good and what is evil.

“Because you will become a watchdog for the flock.”

Maria was the reference point for the girl.

***

6 months later.

The creaking of a wheelchair resounded in the hallway.Victor silently dragged Maria’s wheelchair away. Built in a secret facility 300 meters underground, the bunker contained only the most dangerous weapons the United States was studying in secret.

In the original story, it should have been.

But now, it’s only being used as much as us locking in an unmanageable existence, so it’s been a long time since even the weapons were moved to another secret location.

After being silent for a while, Victor opened his mouth.

“…no one has tamed him. Professor.”

“……”

“Let alone play or conversation, very few survive. People who bring food don’t hurt, but if you do anything more than that, they’ll hurt you right away. It seems like a lie that the professor brought him here in the first place.”

“Of course.”

Victor paused for a moment at Maria’s snoring reply.

“What the hell did you teach me?”

Instead of answering, Maria looked straight at Victor. Victor grabbed the wheelchair for a moment, then dragged it away.

He blamed himself for asking a stupid question.

“Dr Samuel insisted on killing him to the end.”

“That’s right. If it’s that stupid bastard.”

“There are a lot of people at the top who think so. Langley has already given up. Some say they want to drop it in Moscow like a nuclear weapon. There is no radiation leak, and we can pretend that we are not responsible.”

“You sound stupid.”

“I was only half joking, because there’s no way to get it back.”

Victor immediately stopped in front of a huge iron gate.

When he entered the complicated password and opened the door, a huge space with a musty smell appeared.

The room was full of decaying corpses and blood, as the interior could not be cleaned.

And in the middle of it was a girl.

“Isn’t it a waste to kill you?”

“…if that’s from a dungeon.”

Victor muttered quietly.

“Someday, something that can only be dealt with may appear in the dungeon. Isn’t that what you have been insisting on?”

Maria smiled brightly. Victor didn’t like that smile.

“The existence of a 4-star dungeon has already been confirmed. And it has also been confirmed that the dungeon is impossible to attack at the current level of mankind.”

As the level of the dungeon goes up, monsters that cannot be dealt with appear. Today’s human beings find it difficult to even attack 2-star dungeons.

“But if it’s possible for you to tame that girl with the reins, and if that’s the case, then…”

The papers and reports that Maria wrote to meet her girl again were more intimidating than objective.

Mainly for the future of mankind as collateral.

The content, close to the cosmic horror novel, provoked laughter, but those who knew the existence of the ‘girl’ found in Afghanistan could not laugh.

In the end, they had no choice but to let Maria in, who was the only tame of her girl.

lick.

Without hesitation, Maria dragged her wheelchair into her room.

Victor looked at her back without a word. The girl looked curiously as Maria approached her wheelchair with a sound.

Maria approached slowly but steadily, pulling something of her out of her arms.

“It’s an ‘apple’. This is it.”

“historian.”

“It was good to try.”

The girl bit her apple. He seemed to like the sweetness quite a bit.

Maria murmured as she looked at the girl biting the crunchy apple.

“I thought of your name.”

“name.”

“I will give you wisdom. I will show you what is right and what is wrong.”

The girl didn’t seem to know what Maria was talking about. But it didn’t matter.

What she said to her girl was also what Maria was saying to herself.

Maria reached out to her girl and held her in her own arms. She then whispered to the girl in a snake-like voice.

“In this way you are now expelled from the paradise called ignorance.”

The girl didn’t bite her apple and gave her her apple again to Maria.

As if she wanted to take a bite.

Maria looked down at her apple and opened her mouth.

“Your name is Paradise Flaw…Adam Fort.”

crisp.

The sound of biting an apple was sweet.
