A story about a max level player’s 100th return, Episode 6
6. Move the world line
‘Don’t touch it… … ‘Don’t tell me?’
It was a remark that hurt the pride of Cho-Joong-Sik.
What kind of person are you?
This is Cho Joong-sik, the boss of the Chinese restaurant who united Seoul with charisma and gangdagu.
Are you telling yourself to do this or that?
It’s either because you’re crazy about wanting to die or because you don’t know yourself.
However, the opponent did not apply to either of the two conditions.
‘That guy is a black scythe… … Are you sure.’
Even if the world line’s memories were injected, there is no way Jo Jung-sik would know Ryu Min’s identity.
However, looking at Ryumin, he was convinced that it was a black scythe.
Because he was holding his trademark black sickle in one hand.
chuck-
Ryumin, aiming his scythe, warned again.
“There is no answer. Breakfast and lunch. “Are my words that difficult to understand?”
“Oh, no. no. “Don’t give up.”
Jo Jung-sik quickly rolled his tail.
I had no intention of fighting back since I had already been beaten in the illusion prison, but after all, wasn’t the opponent the Black Scythe?
I have no intention of rebelling against a being who can bounce a shovel with just one finger.
‘It’s a pity that I can’t kill Hwang Yong-min… … ‘I can’t help it.’
Jo Jung-sik turned around without saying a word.
“let’s go.”
“… … “Yes, brother.”
His subordinates also hurried down the mountain, following the morning meal, as if they had been waiting for those words.
Their inner thoughts are that they want to get as far away from Ryumin as possible.
however.
“Who said it was okay to go?”
Ryu Min’s words put the brakes on the gangster and Jo Joong-sik’s steps.
“I have something to ask you, Cho Joong-sik.”
“W-what do you mean?”
“How much do you know about the black scythe?”
What is your intention?
While he was quietly looking at Ryumin as if trying to figure out his intentions, the subordinates around him were whispering.
“Black scythe?”
“What is that?”
“What kind of sickle name does that sound like?”
Jo Jung-sik seemed to know, but his subordinates around him looked puzzled.
That’s because most of them died before even surviving one round.
Therefore, even if the memory was implanted, it is inevitable that the black scythe would not come to mind.
The breakfast and lunch that went all the way to the 3rd round was an exception.
“Why does the black scythe talk about the black scythe… … .”
“Do you think this is the time to ask why?”
Sereung-
When he waved a scythe, which was much larger than the scythe he had seen before and exuded an ominous energy, Jo Jung-sik’s neck went down with a sigh.
“Well, what do you want to know?”
“Everything you know about the Black Scythe.”
Ryu Min’s words made Jo Jung-sik think about many things.
‘If it’s information about the black scythe… … ‘What’s there?’
Jo Jung-sik was thinking about various things and was belatedly about to speak.
“Oh, you don’t have to say it.”
“what?”
‘Because I already heard it.’
Ryu Min, who can read the inner thoughts, had already obtained the information.
“You can go now. Breakfast and lunch.”
“… … .”
“Just remember this before you go. Never touch Hwang Yong-min. If there is a problem with Hwang Yong-min’s safety… … .”
At that moment, Ryumin’s dark red scythe seemed to emit the energy of death.
“I will find out what you did and come to punish you.”
“… … I get it.”
Cho Joong-sik, who answered immediately, quickened his pace as soon as he finished speaking.
In front of the black scythe, I had no pride or anything.
It was just a run-and-run.
* * *
‘You’re gone.’
When Jo Jung-sik and his subordinates disappeared, Ryu Min looked down at Hwang Yong-min.
Although he was lying unconscious, he didn’t look pitiful at all.
‘Luckily he didn’t die.’

If I was going to kill him, I would have killed him right away in the alley.
There is a reason why Ryu Min released Hwang Yong-min.
‘Because it still has value.’
After discovering that the player’s memories have been implanted.
Ryu Min followed Hwang Yong-min in a state of invisibility and secretly watched him.
Because I had to check how much information he knew.
‘You know almost everything about me. Even the memory of his head being cut off by me.’
It appears that all of the world line’s memories have been absorbed.
Then, I saw Jo Jung-sik visiting Hwang Yong-min.
As I was following him like that, I ended up following him here.
‘You can’t kill Hwang Yong-min yet. ‘He’ll have to see what he’ll change when the other world line collapses.’
Currently, 6 world lines are broken, but there is no telling how many more will be broken in the future.
Fragments of memories might continue to flow in here.
In that case, it is necessary to be aware of changes and information that occur in Hwang Yong-min’s memory.
‘Leaving us like lab rats, so to speak. For testing purposes.’
The same goes for breakfast and lunch.
‘Looking at their reaction, it seems like they have no intention of retaliating against me, so there is no need to kill them yet.’
You don’t have to worry about it happening later.
Reading the mind means accurately seeing the other person’s sincerity.
‘I confirmed that the memories were injected… … Should I check with just one more person?’
Ryu Min disappeared somewhere, leaving Hwang Yong-min unconscious.
* * *
The world line is one dimension.
Dimensions are surrounded by a protective shield that cannot interfere with each other.
however.
‘Now that shield is broken and memories are shared.’
Fragments of memories scattered by the collapse of the world line.
It flowed into the 102nd world line here, drawn by the same wavelength, and was injected into people’s memories.
Like Cho Joong-sik and Hwang Yong-min that I saw a little while ago.
‘Then, was Min Joo-ri also injected with memories from another world line?’
This was why Ryu Min was hiding in a state of invisibility in front of the convenience store.
To confirm the memory implantation phenomenon of Minjoo-ri.
If it were as expected, the player’s memories would have flowed into Min Joo-ri as well.
just as expected.
-Min… … You were a player? And the black scythe?
I was able to hear and understand the inner thoughts of Min Joo-ri, who works part-time at a convenience store.
Minjoo-ri also had memories instilled in him.
Was that the same for my father, Min Do-hoon, who was an ordinary person?
rattle-
“Juri, Juri!”
He opens the door and comes in as if he has urgent business to do.
“what’s the matter? dad? What’s going on?!”
“no! I have something to ask. Have you ever done anything for me before? It was something that gave me vitality… … .”
“Are you talking about Bless…?” … ?”
“ah! Yeah, that one! “I thought it was a dream, but I guess it wasn’t?”
“Dad, do you remember too? “Do you have any memories of the player?”
“then. It comes to mind vividly, as if it actually happened… … “What happened?”
“I don’t even know what this situation is. Strange memories come to mind… … .”
“It’s definitely not going to happen in the future, right? this?”
Ryu Min left, leaving behind two people filled with anxiety and confusion.
‘This isn’t usually a serious thing.’
The world line currently shared with people is the memory of episode 101.
It was a memory of a successful world line where 97 players made it to the final round.
but.
‘If the world line of another failed episode collapses and the memories come in here… … ?’
Min Do-hoon may vividly recall the memory of Min Joo-ri’s death.
And you wouldn’t be able to tell what’s real and what’s fake.
‘It’s not just limited to players. This applies to everyone.’
I could tell by reading the inner thoughts of people passing by.
Beyond players, to ordinary people.
Everyone is experiencing the phenomenon of shared memories.
Memories of other world lines become vividly embedded in my mind, and I recognize them as if I had actually done them.
‘If this happens, people will experience great confusion due to confusion of memories.’
Confusion and confusion can cause social anxiety, self-doubt, and mental stress.
‘At the extreme, you may perceive yourself as having a dual personality, or you may think you are hallucinating or hallucinating, and you may not believe in all phenomena.’
Whatever it is, it must not be left like this.
Deorant must be stopped before it further collapses other world lines.
The problem was that I had no idea where it was or how it came to be.
-Chronos.
-Why are you calling me?
-Let me ask you one more time. Do you really not know how to stop deolant?
-Didn’t you say you didn’t know? If you know, I already told you.
In the first place, Kronos and Deorant had never even spoken to each other.
There is not enough information to find out its weaknesses or behavior patterns.
-Do you know how he collapses the world line?
-I don’t know. But I can guess roughly. What method did you use?
-say it.
-He probably planted his power like a seed in that world line. And when that seed bears fruit, it explodes and collapses. That would be the most efficient way to collapse the world line.
-What exactly does collapse mean?
-Death of humans. It means the complete annihilation of that dimension.
Ryumin’s expression became somewhat serious.
My head hurts because of the opponent who is causing chaos by destroying the world line I left behind.
‘This world line is not the only thing to worry about. The world line on the other side is also a problem.’
People from other world lines are also real life beings.
Memories can also be injected into them, and confusion can occur.
Above all, collapse can lead to complete extinction.
Even though they were in a dimension where they couldn’t meet each other, Ryumin couldn’t help but feel a sense of responsibility to save them.
Because it was I, and no one else, who expanded the world line through repeated regressions.
-The good news is that even the god of dimensions cannot destroy the world line at once?
-Anyway, even if you were a dimensional god, that would be impossible. This requires astronomical levels of Terra energy.
-Where is he likely to be? Can’t you guess which world line it is on?
-I don’t know about that. As I said, the location cannot be specified.
Ryumin sighed at Kronos’ answer.
Then there was only one way.
-For example, if you want to find him, you’ll have no choice but to search the world line. He said he had no choice but to find the seed he had planted.
-I guess so.
In short, it was like looking for a needle in the desert.
-Have you decided which world line to start looking for?
Ryumin’s answer to Kronos’ question was quick.
The world line to be moved had already been thought of.
-I have to start by going to the world line where my younger brother is.
* * *
Time does not pass equally in each dimension.
Just as the speed of a river varies depending on its location, 3 years may have passed in one dimension, but 30 years may have passed in the other dimension.
Although he didn’t exactly understand the flow of time, Ryumin thought this was the dimension he should look at first.
‘Because this is the 100th world line without me.’
From the 1st to the 100th session.
Ryumin repeatedly faced failure and death.
‘Strictly speaking, the 100th person did not die, but disappeared because his wish came true.’
Ryu Min, who survived the 100th episode alone, entered the wish room alone and wrote a wish.
A wish to start anew with the 101st episode.
Therefore, there will be another Ryumin in the 101st world line, but this is not the case here in the 100th world line.
‘There is no country here.’
He is probably presumed to have died after failing to return from the final round.
The prediction was correct.
‘That guy! What are you doing now? Could it be that I’m dead… … ?’
Otherwise, his younger brother Ryu Won would not have hanged himself inside the house.
Suddenly!
As soon as I cut the rope, I see my younger brother hitting the floor with a thump.
Although I was in a lot of pain, I felt fortunate.
My brother’s life was saved.
‘I almost got into big trouble.’
It wasn’t that I was pessimistic about life.
I never thought he would attempt suicide just because his brother died… … .
I feel the need to speak harshly.
First of all, talk calmly.
“Wonah. “It’s been hard so far, right?”
“brother. Wow, were you alive? Uh, how… … .”
“for a moment. Don’t cry and listen to me. I know it was hard for you without me, but that doesn’t mean you’re trying to commit suicide. “Would I feel at ease if you did this?”
“brother… … .”
“I have to overcome it. No matter how difficult it is, the living must live. What is this doing? Do you really want to get scolded?”
Ryu Won averted his gaze with a face full of joy, surprise, and apology.
“Don’t die. never. If you die without me… … “I will never forgive you.”
Ryumin left only those words and used invisibility.
A single teardrop fell silently down my cheek.
