Hoarding in Hell Novel

"...is that something we have to uncover?"

Maria asked as if she couldn't believe it.

The night sky was still blue, but the moonlight was quite bright.

At first glance, the silhouette alone could see human limbs, broken and crumpled guns, and hair in a messy clump.

It was a disgusting sight that made me feel strange just looking at it. But Samuel laughed bitterly.

"That's just a ballad. The 'real thing' needs more to be seen."

"Gonggidol?"

Maria asked as if she did not understand.

"You'll see anything like that as you go in."

'Anyway'

Mary shut her mouth and she followed Samuel.

When she first met Samuel, she seemed to understand now why he was so difficult to explain.

And, as Samuel said, the more you go into the canyon, the more you can see the view.

It wasn't as big as the gigantic 'Gonggidol' she had seen for the first time, but large and small lumps were clustered here and there.

In some cases, dozens of people were lumped together, while others were made by only one person.

There were also some that ran down the wall.

There were Soviets and there were Arabs.

Groups of animals, rocks, guns, and even tanks were seen.

It certainly wasn't a natural phenomenon. It was clear that it was related to the dungeon.

But she had never seen such a sight, even though Maria had been in and out of the dungeon countless times.

A monster with a bizarre hobby may have been leaked, or a strange phenomenon that had not been known until now may have appeared outside the dungeon.

Because there are many things that cannot be explained scientifically inside the dungeon.

"Stop."

As she was walking halfway through her mind, Samuel stopped her suddenly.

Maria lifted her head and looked straight ahead. At the end of the canyon, there was a particularly open space.

There was something foreign in the place where the moonlight fell.

I saw a girl.

The girl was adorned with rare flowers, carefully woven fabrics, and rare jewels of gold and silver.

She fell asleep on a pillow quilted with silk and adorned with gold thread.

There were several candles lying around, but most of them were off.

“Is that… an altar?”

Maria noticed that the patterns of candles and gold threads placed around the girl resembled the cults of the region. Food and fruits were also commonly used as sacrifices.

The girl was being worshiped. Perhaps from the locals in this area.

And around her, the 'Gonggidol' she had seen until now were slowly rolling round and round.

The bodily fluid left on the floor created a round trajectory.

Maria watched her girl as she cautiously tried to step on her foot. At that moment, Samuel quickly grabbed her.

"Are you crazy!"

"Huh? What? Why?"

"Can't you feel anything when you see those corpses? You can be like that too."Samuel's pale blue expression was telling him that someone had already seen the process of becoming 'that'.

Samuel nervously drew the line drawn on the floor with his foot.

He said, "If you go inside this line, 'that' reacts. If you don't want to die, stay inside this."

'Line' was not one.

As if it were an experiment, there were dozens of dark trajectories drawn.

They were traces of blood, flesh, and visceral pieces.

Maria recalled her memories of killing the ants on her desk when she was a child.

It's disgusting to press down on her ant to kill it, so she rubs her fingertips and rubs it. Then the ants are crushed in an instant.

This is exactly what happened to humans in this canyon.

"Then why do you call it Gonggidol?"

"...a name given by the locals. When the girl is awake, she plays with those chunks."

Maria imagined these corpses bouncing out of the air like pebbles.

It was bizarre and surreal.

She felt unwell, but at the same time she felt thirsty. Her desire was longing for her knowledge.

"Let's go a little bit. Huh? You're sleeping."

"I don't care how long I sleep. 'That' crushed people while I was sleeping. I don't even know if I was sleeping in the first place."

"No, damn it. If you're not going to let me get close to you whether you're sleeping or awake, then why the hell did you bring me here? There's something magical about it, so let's take a look?"

"Do you have to put your hand into a fire to know it's hot?"

Samuel said with a hard expression on his face.

At the fingertips of her Samuel were masses of corpses.

Maria looked at the corpses for a long time, not knowing what she was hoping for, but she couldn't understand what Samuel was saying.

"Oh, well. It must be dangerous. But do you think I came to the border area where the Soviet and Afghan rebels are fighting fiercely to save myself? Child. What are you going to do? Hey, Victor. Say something."

Instead of answering, Samuel frowned and turned his gaze to Victor. Maria couldn't even understand the expression on her face.

Victor was only his escort and guide. If he could give him a little more authority, he could be the head of the bodyguard in case of an emergency, but in that case, he's just a bodyguard. There's no damn horse Lily, she thought, that she couldn't encourage her to do research.

Then Victor smiled and said.

"How does it look, Maria? Is that some kind of monster from the dungeon? Or is it a special phenomenon we didn't know about?"

"How do I know that..."

For a moment, Maria felt her hair grow cold. Rather than have evidence, she was kind of intuition.

Victor is no ordinary soldier.

With no CIA agents in sight, armed guerrillas taking control of the canyon, and the crushing and smashing Soviet forces, there was only one conclusion to be drawn.

"I didn't call you to investigate."

"It is true that we were called to investigate."

Victor immediately corrected Maria's words. His gaze scanned the canyon around him.

Maria quickly noticed where Victor's eyes were still.

Armed guerrillas are ambushing somewhere here.

The situation was easy to understand. But it didn't seem as simple as Victor initially explained.

***

"Damn children."

Maria, Victor and Samuel were again led by the guerrillas back to the crypt outside the canyon. It was the crypt where Samuel stayed.

Maria looked back on the situation earlier and she went back and forth nervously. Samuel muttered with a tired expression on his face.

“Maria, I think you know what the situation is. It’s not something to think about for too long.”

"The CIA and her extremist bastards and even the Soviets. They must all want her. So we're going to see if we can tame her!"

It must have been the locals who first discovered the girl.

The locals must have felt fear when they saw a girl with godlike powers, followed by awe.

As a result, they began to worship.

And it must have been the Soviet Army that found the next girl. The Soviets were startled by the girl and would have tried to get rid of it or take her away.

In the meantime, the locals must have been using it. As a result, their end was not good.

And perhaps next came the CIA, which was leading the armed rebels here.

However, looking at the situation, it seems that the situation of the CIA was also bad.

Samuel, the only person who knew the situation, spoke quietly.

"The guerrilla group that dominates here is called al Qaeda. The old man is a wealthy Saudi-born idiot. If the CIA continues to empower extremists like this, it will be in trouble later."

"It's for the higher up in Langley to judge."

Victor replied with a smile.

Samuel contorted his face as if it were ridiculous.

"All the CIA agents dispatched have disappeared. They said they had returned, but at least they would have been killed. The moment they saw 'that' that wiped out the Soviet army, the desert fanatics here also turned their eyes away. Whoever has it will rule the world!"

Samuel stood up in an angry manner and shouted.

Victor didn't answer.

If you imagined that you would definitely get it, you would have completely forgotten about diplomacy and debt.

The reason for leaving Maria and Samuel behind is to leave it to the hands of experts as there is still no way to do 'that'.

Instead of persuading Victor, Samuel begged for the real decision maker, Maria.

"Maria, you are a wise man. But not these idiots. I believe you can use 'that'!"

"You seem to believe that we should get rid of it."

"Think of it falling into the hands of those fundamentalist fanatics earlier!"

Soviet Army battalion level.

No, looking at the traces left in the canyon, the actual power that would have been put in was more than that.

Even if you can't, it's solidarity level. What if an existence capable of annihilating such power without a single wound falls in the middle of the capital of an enemy country in the form of a harmless-looking girl?

The mere fact that such a thing could happen would change the world drastically.

But Maria wasn't all that surprised.

She said, 'It could happen one day.'

From the time the dungeons and abilities appeared, Maria had already predicted such a situation. She may not have been so shocked because she was.

But the world was not yet ready to accept the appearance of such a being.

Victor spoke to Mary so as not to give too much weight to Samuel's opinion.

"Professor Maria, your mission remains the same. It is enough for you to determine what 'that' is and whether it is dangerous or not."

"But the next 'cleanup' is up to you. Watching what you do with that girl. Are there still bombers waiting in the sky? With a bomb that will clear the canyon at any time."

Victor didn't answer, just smiled.

It was a sufficient answer for Maria.

America is not stupid.

It has already been confirmed that 'that' is a very dangerous existence, and if it cannot be possessed, the means to destroy it have been prepared.

However, the last trigger was entrusted to Maria.

"Maria. That's a power you can't control. Even if you can control it, it's too dangerous for anyone to hold! We need to get rid of it!""Don't be afraid to say it. There's a lot we don't know yet. If you say you don't need to take any risks, you can leave right away.

Samuel said as he begged. On the other hand, Victor recommended a calmer decision, but he also seemed to be focused on Samuel's judgment.

That girl would be unacceptable to him as a heavenly soldier.

As a soldier, he knows the difference between weapons and destruction. And Victor seemed to define 'that' as 'destruction' that could not be dealt with.

Maria couldn't understand.

She said, "I don't know what you guys are talking about right now."

"Yes?"

"Does that look like a bastard to be swept away by? Do you guys see that as a madman's hand gun or a bomb that never goes out?"

Samuel looked at Mary as if he had no idea what he was talking about.

Maria did not like her eyes, which were full of fear and self-will.

And Victor's pride in the guise of serenity.

Victor asked Maria.

"Then what do you see in your eyes?"

"brat."

Maria cut it off.

"I see a kid who hasn't become a human yet. But that's what all the kids that age are like."

"Can you just call that a kid?"

"I'm not married, but I have a nephew. Crushing corpses is just what a kid that age would do. Doesn't everyone at that age play with ants?"

"The dead are not ants, but humans...!"

"It's not much different to him, and so is it to me."

Samuel opened his mouth, unable to continue his words.

"Some people just want to get rid of the kids just because they're uncomfortable. It's very cumbersome and disgusting. If an adult doesn't teach a kid, who's going to teach it? It's not an adult thing to do."

Maria murmured with a look full of combative curiosity.

"Kids need an adult to teach them manners. Don't let me turn that beastly bastard into a human."

***

The sky had turned blue.

The blue light colored the canyon, creating a pale color. The canyon, which was originally white, was like a child's sketchbook.

It was because of the blood splattered in the mess.

As the visibility began to brighten, the landscape of the canyon became even more disgusting. And the smell seemed to get worse.

Maria took a long, deep breath.

She knew that she herself was doing something crazy. But she liked it quite a bit.

She said, 'I'm sorry Samuel.'

Maria did not intend that she simply teach girls.

Raising a being with that kind of power into a human with intelligence and free will?

It is irresponsible both for girls and for mankind.

Dogs need a leash. If not, euthanize or euthanize.

Her Maria's spine was chilled.

She liked the idea of ​​tying a leash on behalf of humans to beings treated as gods, monsters, and demons.

Mary strode over the line Samuel had drawn.

And the girl opened her eyes.
