MEMORIZE Chapter 552

00552 There she was. ————————————————– ———————-=

The first thing I saw was none other than a cave. A deep and wide cave that was not created naturally, but has some traces of artificiality. As I continued to walk without realizing it, I reached the end of the career barrier.

But that doesn’t matter now. I quickly turned around. And the moment I saw Go Yeon-ju standing there with a blank face, I unconsciously let out a sigh of relief.

Go Yeon-ju’s hands were hanging down listlessly.

“Go Yeon-ju?”

“… … .”

“High user performance!”

“… ah. “Soo, Su-hyeon?”

Only then did Go Yeonju seem to come to her senses and looked at me with her eyes wide open. I immediately wrapped my arms around Go Yeon-ju’s shoulders and carefully pulled him inside. This was because they had just left the path barrier and there were still clan members within the area.

After confirming that Sasha, Shin Jae-ryong, Kim Han-byeol, and Woo Jeong-min walked out one by one, starting with Ko Yeon-ju. Even though I could barely sigh, I had a strong question. Why did he suddenly react like that? Go Yeon-joo doesn’t even blink at most things, right?

“sorry. I’m so sorry. Su-hyun. Stop without even realizing it… .”

Go Yeon-ju shook her head violently and squinted her eyes. A confused reaction, unusual for a high performer. Maybe there was something else going on, but I decided to focus on the task at hand for now.

“it’s okay. We can talk about it later, but first… .”

“yes yes. Okay. “I’m really okay now.”

Go Yeon-ju calmly took a breath and bit her lip. A cold light passed through their eyes as they stared into the cave. Seeing that, it seemed to have stabilized to some extent, so I turned my attention to Hanbyeol. Hanbyul immediately took out a gem and began to recite a spell.

“───. ───. ───. Jewel Light. “White.”

At that moment, a bright glow emanated from the jewel taken out. The light, which seemed several times brighter than regular light magic, instantly drove out the darkness in the cave. Since there was nothing particularly bothersome about detecting magical power, I simply organized my formation and walked in with great strides.

The inside of the cave was quiet.

no. It wasn’t quiet at all. In addition to detecting magical power, all senses in the body were extremely activated, but nothing was felt and no sound was heard. Occasionally, only the faint sound of metal clanging as clan members collide with their equipment can be heard. It felt like I was walking through a void.

There is only one road leading inside anyway. However, judging by the artificial traces found at the entrance, there may be a secret room. So I continued walking along the path that continued along one wall.

“This really reminds me of going on an expedition in the past.”

When we had moved another 150 meters, someone spoke cautiously. It was Shin Jae-ryong’s voice. I think I spoke up to relieve the unnecessarily stiff energy after the high performance… . huh?

“Stop for a moment.”

Just as I was about to respond appropriately, I gave the order to stop without delay. This is because I suddenly felt a strange touch on the wall I had been steadily tracing. The wall itself was uneven, but I was able to pass by without difficulty, but it felt like I was suddenly hit. As if the wall was dented by something.

“Hanbyeol. Shine the light this way. “To the wall I’m touching right now.”

Then, the jewel floating 10 meters ahead quickly returned and sprinkled bright light on the wall I pointed to. I took three or four steps back and stared at the entire wall.

And, I could see it.

fat.

go.

I want to.

all.

Letters written in Korean, deeply engraved on the wall.

“… … .”

“… … .”

For a moment, there was silence.

What this means is very clear. Perhaps it is a trace left by a survivor. I found it easier than expected. … Anyway, I want to live.

“live… . want… ?”

“this… . what… . This is the Steel Mountains… .”

Most of the clan members had puzzled faces, as if they had checked the writing on the wall. There are two people who remain calm. After exchanging glances with Ko Yeon-ju and Sasha, I quietly opened my mouth.

“Let’s go inside first. Whatever it is, let’s see it first and then judge.”

The clan members still couldn’t hide their embarrassment, but they gathered around them even though they were wandering around.

“… “It’s miserable.”

With Sasha’s last words, I resumed my advance inward.

The road wasn’t that long. After advancing another 100 meters, the end of the cave finally became visible.

In the direction the jewel illuminated, a large middle passage and part of the inner space came into view at a glance. There was still nothing to detect magic power. The moment they fully entered, Shin Jae-ryong and Woo Jeong-min let out a short exclamation.

The space at the end of the cave was bigger than I thought. A space that appears to be about 80 meters horizontally and 100 meters vertically. It feels like looking at a spacious room.

But what was even more surprising were the various traces engraved on the ground and around the area. A dried fire that has been disturbed by heavy heating, a piece of cloth haphazardly thrown in a corner, etc. We were able to find numerous traces of the user’s hand.

“I can’t believe it, but… . “You can see traces of users.”

Shin Jae-ryong let out a low groan and opened his mouth. The voice was solemn, as if trying to remain calm, but it was accompanied by a slight tremor.

But it was expected anyway. Just as I was about to agree that it was well said, I fell silent for a moment. Go Yeon-ju is already staggering around the cavity. Then he stopped walking and slowly raised his head and looked up at the ceiling.

“… … ?”

The moment I raised my gaze and wondered why.

“ah… ?”

“Uhm… !”

The clan members gasped almost simultaneously.

There was something whitish hanging down from the ceiling.

That something that looked elongated was none other than a skull. To be exact, a skeleton corpse with its head hung.

He is hanging alone from the ceiling with a rope wrapped around his neck. I couldn’t figure it out right away because I was looking at the traces on the ground.

“Clan Lord.”

Jeongmin Woo’s husky voice calls me. I nodded my head silently. Soon, the sound of scraping metal rang out and Woo Jung-min gave a light slap. The dagger fired through the air accurately cut the rope hanging from the ceiling.

Slurp!

Pagagak!

The part of the body that fell down crumbled helplessly as soon as it hit the ground. He’s probably been dead for quite some time. As can be seen just by looking at its condition, the corpse was a complete skeleton, except for the barely-there clothes it was wearing. At least the long, sparse hairs on the skull indicate the possibility that it is a woman.

The only strange thing is that the left breast area is bulging.

I looked down at the skeleton for a moment, then lifted up the clothes that were hanging loosely and looked through them.

After a while, I put my hand through my inner pocket and felt like I was grabbing a handful of something. Although it is sturdy, it seems like it will crumble quickly if you apply even the slightest force. Just in case, I gently pulled it out and was able to see faded records covered in white dust. Even if you can’t do it, it seems like there are more than 15 pages.

“Su-hyun. “Is this a survivor’s record?”

“I guess so.”

In response to Go Yeon-ju’s question, I calmly shook my head. It’s not that they didn’t, but perhaps they were trying to save space, so a lot of information was crammed into one record.

I looked back at my clan members for a moment, then calmly turned a page of records. The round, pretty cursive writing catches my eye.

『We survived. I was able to survive after going through a lot of hardships. This is really luck. I discovered this cave, and those dinosaur-looking guys no longer chase me. And that I am a Gyeolgyesa. Actually, I thought I learned the barrier for no reason, but I never dreamed I would use it in times like this. Even dinosaurs don’t seem to be able to read barriers. thank god.”

Looking at the contents written, it appears to be a survivor’s survival diary. The beginning felt quite calm.

It’s worth it. Who would write that he is crazy when his life is at stake right now? Perhaps this record was started after some stability was achieved.

『Two additional survivors found today. Now the total number of people is 67. I don’t know whether to like it or be happy. There is no unlimited food or water.』

『At first, 67 people. There are now 35 people remaining. In just one escape attempt, 32 people died. Was it really too much?』

『A fight broke out. However, through the mediation of her older sister, Eunsol managed to acknowledge each person’s claim. You can’t leave the way you came in. die unconditionally But we can’t endure like this. Because I’m starving to death.』

『In the end, Eunsol led 31 people out. They say they are looking for a new path. In the current situation, it is an unavoidable choice. please. please. please. please.”

The records were not continuous day by day, but were written quite sparsely. By the way, this is Eunsol. I think he’s probably referring to Go Eun-sol, the user that Seong-ho Cho mentioned.

I decided to keep reading.

『Two weeks have passed. It’s not coming back. There are only three people left now.』

『I woke up and couldn’t see Sora. Where has it gone? no way… .』

『In the end, Sora won’t come back either. Hyunjin said her brother was going out to look for her. She tried to stop me from going, but I ended up leaving. Now all that’s left is me alone. … scared.”

『At first there were 67 people. But now I am alone.』

The record consisted of increasingly shorter sentences as it went on. I quickly skimmed through the remaining content.

『Three days have passed since I became alone. Today, while I was sleeping, Hyunjin oppa appeared in my dream. Strangely enough, we were facing each other through the hole in the front door. My brother was like that. To renew the barrier. Don’t come out. And never, ever respond. This word was especially emphasized. … Actually, I don’t know what you mean. However, my brother’s face was frozen and scary. Like a dead person.』

『First, we need to change the barrier. Don’t let anyone come in.』

『Unless I misheard, I heard it clearly today. It’s Jin. It’s Jin. We’re back. But I can’t find the way. Someone is wandering around the barrier and calling me. Continue.”

『I heard something new today. At first it was a man’s voice. Next it was a woman’s voice. Oh my. I’m sure you’re remembering that this is going to be a long road, right? hmm. Could it be that these kites remembered something wrong? … What is it? These kites? memory? How should I accept these words?』

The record was broken here. Maybe the last record is the one I saw on the wall earlier: I want to live.

I looked up at the road ceiling. A rope with a break in the middle swinging endlessly. So does this mean that this Gyeolgyesa ultimately chose suicide?

“Clan Lord. “Do you have any records of anything unusual?”

Suddenly, Shin Jae-ryong’s voice was heard. I tasted it once or twice and organized my records.

It’s an unusual record. Actually, from my perspective, there is nothing particularly unique about the record. Rather than saying it is unusual, it would be more accurate to say that it has something to point out. And another thing is that we have found a clear clue that might be useful in this expedition.

Eventually, I slowly pushed the record into my arms and quietly opened my mouth.

“well. Rather than being very special… ?”

And, it was that moment.

*

“How long on earth do we have to wait?”

An irritated voice rang through the air. It was a loud voice, as if everyone around them could hear it.

The source of the voice is the Southern Expedition, which has stopped for a moment in front of the current mountain range. Among them, it was a man with a frowning face. Judging by the martial arts symbol drawn on his chest, it is clear that he belongs to a warrior clan, or rather, warrior Lord Go Oh-hwan.

however. Although it was obvious to anyone that he was annoyed, Seon Yu-un did not react in any way. She just quietly closed her eyes and opened her mouth in a low voice.

“Wait.”

“Simple as that… .”

“The only orders I received were to remain alert and wait quietly. “Once you get out of the path barrier, everything will be taken care of, so just wait quietly.”

“no! 30 minutes have already passed! I heard you’re going to climb that mountain today! But the day is already… .”

Go Oh-hwan, who was shouting vigorously because he thought it was the right time, suddenly trailed off. That’s because Seon Yu-un, who had been silent until now, suddenly opened one eye and watched her fiercely.

Suddenly, cold sweat broke out on Go Oh-hwan’s forehead. She thought that all she needed was Mercenary Lord, but when she thought about it, the man in front of her was also a huge user called Shingung.

Then, as if his thoughts were correct, Seon Yu-un’s arm was aimed directly at Go Oh-hwan.

“I am the one who has been delegated full authority now. I’ll say it again. “Be quiet and keep your mouth shut.”

“Oh, no. So, what I’m saying is.”

“I told you to keep your mouth shut. “I will not warn you any more.”

“… … .”

With those last words, the sound of a crossbow being pulled was heard.

Go Oh-hwan swallowed his saliva. And he immediately closed his mouth. This is because he felt the sincerity in Seon Yu-un’s face. Rather, I feel like I want Gohwan to say something.

Go Oh-hwan nodded his head with a slightly tired face. His entire body was trembling from the thrill of life he felt right in the center between his eyebrows, but he still managed to turn around.

It was then.

– Is anyone there?

A voice flowed into the vanguard unit on the wind.

At the same time that Go Oh-hwan’s steps stopped, Seon Yu-un’s body stiffened.

-If there is anyone… . Please help me.

One thing is certain: human upbringing is clear.

– Please save me. Please, please… .

However, if you listen closely, it was a strange voice that felt somehow foreign.

—————————= Review of the work ——————– ——-=

ah. sorry. I had a meeting and dinner with people related to visual novels today, so I came home late. Nod. _(__)_

Still, I think it was a really fun and enjoyable time. I received a really interesting offer today. Things like seasons and teaser sites were good, but the most interesting thing was the turning point. So Soohyun has made many choices so far, right? That means there is a turning point. For example, leave Park Dong-geol alone. Or save Yoo Hyeon-ah. Or kill Vivien. Etc. 🙂 Things like this may continue one after another, and the ending may also change. (Of course, it’s not confirmed yet, but it’s being discussed.)

Personally, I think it would be fun, but it is also true that it is a bit daunting. It’s a task no different from creating another story.

CEO: Now then, writer. Is that what you decided to do?

Ro Yujin: Yes? I haven’t replied yet… .

CEO: You just had coffee. That’s Yes.

Ro Yujin: ?

When I came to my senses, I realized that I had agreed without realizing it. So I’d like to ask for your help. Have you ever watched Memorize and wondered what it would have been like if this part had been like this? What would it have been like if it had been done like this? If you have any regrets, please write them down briefly in the comments. I also plan to make a new tree for that part, but I think readers may remember parts I missed. 😀
