Episode 79 - The Secretive Plotter (4)

All sorts of complicated thoughts rushed past my head.

"I...."

It felt as if someone was ringing a gong right next to my ear. I covered my mouth from the sudden rush of the sick feeling from my stomach. The kkoma Yu Jung-Hyeoks kept looking up at me as I began wobbling about unsteadily.

⸢Kim Dok-Ja knew who these beings were.⸥

The final revision of the 'Ways of Survival' spat out bright texts from inside my pocket.

⸢He knew, but at the same time, he didn't want to know.⸥

"Kim Dok-Ja?"

The kkoma Yu Jung-Hyeoks realised that something was wrong with me and called out.

I needed to stop thinking.

['The 4th Wall' is shaking.]

Stop thinking.

['The 4th Wall' is shaking intensely.]

However, I couldn't.

Pages were flipping over inside my head. As if there was a storm raging about in there, all those pages swirled up and flew at the same time to completely blanket my consciousness.

"....Hey, you?"

And eventually, my vision was dyed in pitch-black darkness.
