Chapter 8 The Natural Monster(1/2)
(Why are you the only newcomers who have more chances?)
(Why is my real death if I die!)
(Before I received Elvis' redemption, I didn't even maintain my own thoughts and had a sense of my own!)
(Now, I can feel the roaring in my soul, the [hate] that wants to kill everyone!)
(The Explorer is now four, and the Avengers are also four.)
"So, let's play the game happily, then, let's start the game!"
Abby's eyes turned into darkness, consciousness, body, touch, and all of them were like this. When they came to their senses, everything had become different.
This is definitely not the world she knows.
This is the game world of Angels.
The voice of an angel came from my mind.
"It doesn't matter whether you like to play this game or not. There is no so-called super game problem. Of course, if you plan to give up playing and the natives see something strange, then you will be responsible for the consequences. After being discovered by the Avengers, it has nothing to do with me."
"So, please try your best to play and pass the level as much as possible!"
"Don't think about becoming the protagonist. Just find some substitute natives to help you play!"
What we agreed to become another person's life, but in the end, will we still have to kill each other?
I really hate it, I really don't like it.
This is simply false propaganda, but even so, there is no way.
Even the ordinary dark side cannot be eliminated, let alone the darkness from divine power.
Apart from accepting and then finding a way to survive--
This is simply nothing else that can be done!
...
"Anna, Anna..."
I heard the sound of being called.
(Ah? Am I dead? By the way, it was at that time that God came)
(External God - Aberhos, the ancestor of evil devils, the source of unclean people!)
(I seem to see Him)
(Strange, why...)
(No, not that)
All kinds of memories began to rise.
(Melotti, evil god, no, I didn't show up just to see these things!)
(I obviously just want to save my friends, so I appear in the game because the secret keeper told me this)
(Why do I believe these things?)
(Why would I believe this kind of thing like a casual talk?)
"No, that's not a lie, Anna. It's not a coincidence that I hope Elvis finds you. Because, I want to contact you!"
(connect?)
"Yes, the soul connection, that feeling is very wonderful, and I don't know how to describe it."
So all my memories were awakened.
Anna remembered everything.
"Babe?"
(But why does it seem to look different?)
"Because this is my Explorer character! If you want, I can change it back."
She transformed into what Anna was familiar with after half a second.
"This is..."
"Do you still remember the first game? At that time, at school, the three of us played with Elvis! (/It's the first volume, not a new setting/)"
"Of course I remember that you became a vegetative because of that game...are you?"
"Vegetative? Ah, but not that game, but the next one. The me you just saw was me in the game after that. However, I was not dead, but redeemed. Although I didn't know whether I was Bebe or Jane, because the souls of both of us were merged together."
(It's obviously such a terrible thing, why... why can you say this kind of thing with such a joyful expression?)
Anna couldn't figure it out, she really didn't know why Beibei could say that.
Is this a happy thing?
She didn't feel that way. In fact, after listening to it, she didn't feel anything that could be called happiness.
All she felt was a cruelty that could not be described in words.
A kind of cruelty that comes from the heart.
"So, I have no reason to be saved. On the contrary, Anna, you have to be saved."
"Do you want to rescue my body?"
"You are not dead yet, Anna, you are not a ghost, nor a corpse, you are a human being who is still alive," said Bebe seriously.
"So, what else can be called [save]?"
"Not your body." Bebe looked at Anna's avoiding eyes. "I mean, save your soul, save it from the existence of individuals, from death, from the pain of desire to be replenished."
"Now I realize that just living like this is much more interesting than falling in love, having sex, taking drugs, etc., it is much more satisfying, and there is no hole in my heart. Everyone is with me. This spiritual connection is a miracle of life, and it can even be said to be a treasure."
"Wait a minute, are you taking drugs? You actually fell to have sex? Who did you give your first time!!!"
For some reason, Anna suddenly seemed angry.
"No, because this is a spiritual connection, so I can know what I didn't know, because I have already obtained salvation from the individual's pain. I don't need to find a sense of identity from organizations, companions, and friends anymore, nor do I need a partner to make up for the parts I lack, but there is one thing that cannot disappear."
"What?"
"That is - possessiveness, this kind of thing cannot disappear. The desire to have something." Beibei's expression was completely different from the tone she said, and there was a strange contrast.
"Contact, spiritual connection, this kind of thing is spiritual satisfaction, so I think this kind of happiness should be shared. The desire to connect with everyone and the desire to possess this relationship will only continue to expand in the moment of understanding the beauty."
(There is no way to understand it at all, this is simply unrealistic. Is this person really the Beibei I know?)
"So, let me save you!" Babe reached out to Anna. "We are friends, I like you, so I have no way to say anything like this, please follow me."
"No!" Anna slapped Beibei's hand and rejected her.
"Why?"
"Because, you are no longer the person I know. Who are you?" Anna looked at her with a strange look.
"Since that's the case, there's nothing we can do!" Beibei's eyes shed tears, but her expression did not change at all, and there was no change in the strength of her speech.
"Anna, then you can only participate in the game," said Bebe.
No, that look is very strange.
It's not the person Anna knows at all.
This person is definitely not, definitely not what Anna knows about.
She is... Elvis?
"I guessed it right. Since I don't want to be us and reject our words, then I can only let you play your role where you should be." I said.
I didn’t expect that she, who came to that dark world clearly for her friends, would she refuse to save her friends?
Since that's the case, there is no point in staying here anymore.
As a prop, realize the value you deserve!
Those who do not desire redemption have no need to exist in the new world.
"Don't talk to me with Beibei's appearance, but you show me your original appearance! Is this a fun thing to pretend to be a friend to deceive me? Do you like this kind of behavior very much? Is it a great achievement for you to play with a mortal relationship?"
"Sense of accomplishment? No, and I didn't pretend either." I said. "Oh, so that's because you don't believe it's true."
I seem to understand why I was rejected.
I've changed back to the usual human posture.
"I think so because you don't understand how Elvis exists."
"If you can understand, you can understand that this is not killing, it is not seizure, it is redemption, but heaven. Elvis is heaven. Those who do not experience heaven will not understand it at all. But I can tell you a little."
I tried to speak in a gentle voice, but in Anna's ears I could only hear the real [evil].
"She has been in heaven since you met your friends."
(I don't believe it, I don't believe it, I don't believe it!)
