MEMORIZE

Chapter 807 A new start.=========================================================================

“Are we all here now?”

A cold, sharp voice was heard over the thick smoke. There are seven chairs in a dim space filled with darkness, showing only the outline. There are various types of seats that fit the number of chairs, such as sitting on the floor hugging a large doll or leaning against it with legs crossed.

It wasn’t just him. Dark shadows are standing beside a round-shaped chair as if they were soldiers lined up. One peculiarity is that the number of shadows placed on each chair is uneven. Some chairs had more than one shadow, while others had no shadow.

“Hey, it’s really empty.”

Based on the chair with the first voice, the second one on the left. An exaggerated voice exploded as if to evoke silence. Two eyes glaring with black salt look around. To be exact, it’s a chair with no shadows.

“Mamon, Plutone, Prosserpina…Who else is there? Anyway, this is why the name Devil Fourteen Monarch is overshadowed.”

“You. Mepistopheles.”

On the right side of the reference point, the figure hugging the doll hit back. It is a young voice that reminds you of a girl while talking in a snap. The Devil of Black Salt momentarily stiffened and turned to the right.

“Well, you’re right. Because I lost mepistopheles in hell, too. I didn’t mean to blame you, but I’m not in a position to talk anyway.”

He suddenly burst into laughter when he thought he would just admit it.

“But I want you to look at me. At least you didn’t die in hell, did you? My precious life is still two?

It is clear that you intend to sarcastically exaggerate on purpose. A pair of blue eyes twinkled in the dark, perhaps feeling ridiculed. He glares at the devil of black salt, shedding cold air.

Bite!

For a moment, a strong roar shook the darkness. a collision without any indication Shadows are deeply shaken by the aftermath of the intangible energy. The Devil of Black Salt lifted up and the doll girl jumped off the chair. Staring at each other without caring a bit is an immediate situation.

It was that moment.

“Stop.”

A grating sound stopped the two. Then the two demons did not stop, but when their pale and long hands rose, they stopped moving. The red eyes, which are torn as far apart as the eyes of a snake, span left and right, while the slender, long fingers, like the legs of a spider, bend slowly. I don’t know what that means. However, just before the hand was fully grasped, the two demons, who were about to fight, immediately stopped fighting and hurried back to the chair.

After a while, the rattling air subsides and the original silence returns.

“The reason why I’m holding the meeting today.”

The first voice,

“Because today, I have an important choice.”

Finally, the meeting was announced.

“Yes, very important….”

As the eyes of those sitting on the chairs were drawn, the devil sitting at the reference point twisted his mouth as much as he could not be seen.

“I know. I’m sure everyone feels uncomfortable in this position anyway.

Unlike Cheol-seong, who had just been irritated, a gentle soothing voice followed.

“I already sent the information before the meeting. If you’ve read and thought about it, I don’t want to drag it out too long. Then….”

“Satan?”

At that time, a soft and clear voice stopped talking. Someone raised their hand.

“I’m telling you, I’m against it.”

“Lucifer… I heard your opinion then. Is it still the other way around?”

“Yes, as the great world says. We must accept the prophecy.”

“Hmm.”

Satan drooled as if to keep talking.

“No. Do I need to go on and on? I’m not bragging, but I’ve made sure I’ve lost the two Demon 14 monarchs. Hwajeong and cowardice are on the human side. This is the fact that Satan checked, right?”

“I did.”

Satan calmly agreed. In other words, Lucifer was saying let’s back off. In fact, I don’t think I said simply that I should give up. However, no demon could open his mouth recklessly. Because I felt the validity and weight of Lucifer’s words.

“And, don’t you think it’s weird?”

Suddenly Lucifer added: Even though he said it was strange, he had a smile around his mouth that he was dying of fun.

“Strange?”

“Yeah. Think about it. How many times have our plans been thwarted?”

Lucifer nods back at Satan’s rebuttal.

“West Continent, Mamon, Magnakarta, Grand Duke of Hell, Witch of Flowers, Ancient Axe…”I’m so screwed. Some of them were crushed before they even started. …didn’t you ever think this was weird?”

“What do you want to say?”

Lucifer, who was pinning his fingers one by one at Satan’s question, slowly lowered his hand. Then he smiled.

“Be sure to read our thoughts and plans…I mean, it’s like reading and acting into the future.”

There were groans everywhere. At first glance, it is absurd, but from the perspective of the victim, it is not necessarily a no. How many plans have come to nothing to dismiss as mere coincidence. The same was true of the highly secretive plan. He thought it was nonsense, which he had never thought about, but he could have suspected it at least once.

“Isn’t there a chance it’s luck?”

“Of course it could be.”

Lucifer was unmindful of the constant questioning of Satan.

“But, as Satan said, if all this is luck…Aren’t you more scared?”

The horse that followed, unlike ever, sank to its full extent.

“Frightened by the…And I’m helping you with luck. If it’s true, I’m not confident of winning. You’d better just fold it up here, conserve the power that’s left, and look for the future.”

Lucifer, shaking his head, buried himself deeply as if he had done what he had to say. Satan was a legitimate fist. Lucifer’s opinion has a firm justification. In fact, almost all opinions that could come from the “opposition to speed” side have been made. But not everyone here would agree. Satan, who thought so, turned his eyes around.

“I’ve heard enough of Lucifer. So what about you guys?”

“…….”

Satan gave the floor. However, no one brings it up no matter how long I wait. They only close their eyes or repeat meaningless actions that glances at each other. It was an act that could not be considered evil, but it was a reasonable silence. The first was that everyone implicitly agreed with Lucifer and the second was that everyone was aware of the disadvantage of the current situation.

No. It’s not at a disadvantage here. As long as Atlanta is targeted, the Steel Mountains no longer serve as a shield. The only problem left for the North Continent to march on the Terra is time. In other words, the future of demons is tantamount to a wind lantern.

“Oh, my God. That’s why we didn’t have a meeting.”

Satan smiled quietly.

“Then why don’t we do this?”

Did he predict this situation? Satan brought up a new topic when there was no objection even after a long wait.

“Do you happen to know these words? It’s a majority vote.”

The moment the word “majority” came out, not only the great devil but also the evil 14 monarchs shone a curious light. It’s not because I don’t know what it means. The magic world is originally dominated by the law of survival of the fittest. The strong survive and the weak are culled. In a world where the strong are the best, democratic methods are unfamiliar.

“Don’t think it’s too weird. I’d like to check your opinion this way since you guys are not talking.”

However, as it can be divided into seven major forces, it is not that there is very little room for currency.

“Think easy. From now on, I count the numbers. At the count of three, those who want to continue raise their hands, and those who want to accept the prophecy remain still. However, abstention is not accepted.”

Satan, who said so, rose slowly. Even when I look around calmly, there is no particular objection. They are still looking at each other, but they also showed several curious eyes.

Satan suddenly opened his mouth amid unexpected tension.

“One.”

The count started a little sudden.

“Two.”

Someone took a deep breath.

“…three.”

At the end of the count, Lucifer didn’t raise his hand. When I glanced to the side, I saw Satan who didn’t raise his hand equally.

And

“Ha.”

As soon as I looked around.

“Ha, ha, ha…”

Lucifer unknowingly laughed in vain.

“This is, unexpected.”

Apart from Satan and Lucifer, the Great Devils of the Five raise their hands.

Baal, Astarot, Belzebub, Asmodius, Liris.

As many as five great devils chose “continuation.”

*

I read the records like crazy. The records contained a lot of simple and dense content. Destroying Astarot who broke into Hell and destroying Mepistopheles, the demons united to invade Hell a second time. And…

…I may have thought it was nothing at the time, but I never let my guard down. But they forced me to move in a way I didn’t know. That’s also in my home camp.』

What Gehenna is saying is probably when Atlanta is at hand. Yeah. I was surprised then, too. I thought he changed Cha Hee-young by preempting him, but who knew he would force Gehenna to move him? The devil’s ability to bring the future back to its original state was never to be underestimated.

“They seem to have been after you and the humans.

One thing to keep in mind is that the future never goes as planned.

Think about it. Not to mention the ancient evil spirits, even I could not avoid their tricks and moved as intended.

In other words, they are capable, and when and where can you guarantee that something similar will not happen?

Again, the future never moves at someone’s will.

Surely you will do things in a way that no one knows, never thought of.

But I can be prepared.

Please be careful and be careful.』

I had to swallow my saliva while I was reading down. It feels like a new awakening. The cold feeling I felt earlier still lingers.

And, as a matter of fact, there is one thing to apologize for.』

What? It’s an apology? Gehenna?

The woman who came to see you then.』

Are you talking about Han So-young?

“Then you were down for a long time after you came back. It really caught my heart.

You’ve probably seen a strange phenomenon, haven’t you?

…to tell you the truth, I made an allusion to the woman.

I was going to get a sense of danger and see if it would hurt you or not.』

“Oh, so…!”

I let out an exclamation without realizing it. Obviously, at that time, I thought Han So-young was weird. As far as I know, So-young might have been angry, but she wouldn’t have revealed it. But it makes sense if Gehenna made an allusion. I managed to escape with the help of a third eye and harmony, but is there any talent to beat Han So-young?

I didn’t get it right in the end, but I still want to say this.

She’s… well, she’s given off a strange aura that’s beyond human comprehension. You seem to be careful if you’re a little self-aware. Maybe if you see the beginning naked, you’ll see the true truth.

Watch out for this, too. Whether to embrace her or not depends solely on your choice, but if you do, you’ll have to be prepared. It was hardly a good word for a guy with a girl around him. However, she seems to be no match for a fairy.

If you do something wrong, you may be subjugated for a lifetime.

Oh, in a sexual sense.』

“Yes, subjugation.”

Haha laughed and shook his head vigorously. I can no longer develop such a relationship with Han So-young. At least, I think so. I definitely drew the line then.

I keep getting curious while writing.

Is it because of lingering feelings….

How would you feel reading this record?

You’re probably blaming me, aren’t you? You think she doesn’t understand?』

Yeah. I’m curious about this, too. Not to the point of resentment, but I don’t understand why he left without saying a word.

I’m sorry. I’m really sorry. But this was the only way.』

So why.

I couldn’t say goodbye to you with a smile.』

As soon as I asked back, I suddenly felt a strain in my eyes.

I am, a wicked woman. The more I was next to you, the more I had bad thoughts.

I was a little upset whenever I saw eyes appealing to me to be with them.

Isn’t it a given that I can’t stay here?

Then all you had to do was cross over to hell.』

This is… undeniable.

“In fact, I’ve made up my mind over and over again.

Should I just close my eyes and fill up the offerings without you knowing? Or I’ll force you to hell even if I have to.』

Uh, um, that’s a scary word.

“But that’s not the case.

In the past, either side has no choice but to sacrifice.

And as much as I have to fulfill in hell, you must have a wish to fulfill in this world.

When I thought so, I was constantly ashamed of myself for being greedy.

The thing is, my greed didn’t go away.

In the end, he had no choice but to make a decision.』

As I concentrated on reading, I didn’t have much time left. I pulled my pounding heart down and lowered my eyes.

“Suhyun, Suhyun, Suhyun, Suhyun.

Wouldn’t I have wanted to be by your side? Wouldn’t you want to be loved as a woman of a man like me?

But the real way for you was not to pursue greed, but to leave as soon as possible.

Will you ever understand this?』

I understand. I wouldn’t have known it originally, but I realized something when I heard it from my brother. Gehenna has seen, judged, thought, and acted on everything I have ever built, not just me.

You may consider it cowardly.

You can blame me and hate me right now.

I’m the one who ran away, so I’ll bear it sweetly.

But if there’s one thing I want….

By the time countless times pass and one day remember me.

Please, I hope you understand me like this.

Soo-hyun

You’ll, you’ll understand?

One day.

You will understand my love for a human being named Kim Soo-hyun.?』

Is it because I feel the anguish on the record? Gehenna’s desperate confession exudes breathtakingly. When I saw the space below, I realized that I was smiling. It was strange. My heart is sad but my face is smiling. Haha, haha.

Feeling unbearable, I went out to the terrace. Looking at the cool night sky, I feel like my heart is opening up. It’s a novelty. I was exhausted a while ago, but I felt as refreshed as if I washed up.

I took the beginning of the year out of my arms and bit it and lit it up. He then took a deep sip and lifted the record. He put the burning part at the corner of the record, and the black soot slowly spread and started to catch fire.

After a while, after checking the corner of the record was blazing, I threw it into the air without hesitation.

There’s nothing I haven’t read yet…?

The careful voice of the flowering spirit rings my ears.

Of course, I didn’t look at the front, but it’s okay not to read it.

Warnings about the devil, worries about me, confessions about Han So-young, Gehenna’s own inner thoughts…The unfiltered truth of Henna has already been felt to overflow. I don’t need to read any more. Wouldn’t it be appropriate to hang up here, rather than keep reading and feel strange? I think I know a little bit of how Gehenna feels when she goes back without saying a word.

Look up at the sky. In no time, more than half of the records burned were bent slowly in the wind and dropped. The occasional splashing fireballs dance away.

The more the record is burned down, the more the clotted heart melts. I feel refreshed and relieved after inhaling the cold night air. It’s so refreshing that I want to open my head like this. I want to shout out loud like this.

But I couldn’t bear it, so I stared through the night sky of dawn, where a small fire embroidered. The night view is clearer than ever in recent years.

I was finally able to smile plainly, not plainly.

Maybe….

Now, I guess I woke up from that night’s dream.

============================ Review of the work ============================

Han So-young, the other women.

I’ll leave it up to your imagination to see what criteria it will be. (__ )*
