Become a Black Screen in a Novel - Chapter 21

Translator: NovelMultiverse | Editor: NovelMultiverse

Let me point out one thing here. Contrary to the original story, the fact that Shin Haram had already started moving seemed to hold a more important motive behind it than I had previously thought. The reason for this was simple. This was because Shin Haram’s 『Longan (A)』 can destroy demons. 

Demon (魔人). Such was a human who changed his affiliation into a heteromorphic form by signing a contract with the devil. If it was only to receive a calling, it would require spiritual sensibility, an aptitude for chaotic situations, or a desperate obsession, but there were also various ways to contact the devil, such as making a direct request through a mysterious ritual or achieving a special achievement to attract one’s attention. The World Government and the League of Superhumans have long since defined these demon contractors as traitors to mankind, and their principle was to exterminate them as soon as they were discovered. And of course, the same would be true for Majin’s side, devising various countermeasures to hide his identity.

Was there a relationship between a virus and a vaccine? Since its ecology was completely different depending on the contracted devil, verification was also very difficult, so human society was always at a risk. Under this circumstance, Haram Shin’s 『Longan (A)』 rolled over. To put it bluntly, during the midterm exam, the reason the first-year spirits rose up was because of Shin Haram. As long as she was alive, the cells that had infiltrated into the academy would not be able to function properly. Rumours circulated, that the reason Shin Haram was wary of the deep sword shown on the first day was also said to be the reason for the fall of Gwangmyeongja attacking the academy. 

In a nutshell, all of these occurrences were because of Shin Haram. Right from the start, she had been at the center of the storm. It was an easy decision to support her. If it was me, it was quite the specification. However, this was where the problem I was having trouble with would arise. If you were a wise reader, Jae-hyun, would you be curious at this point? 

Even though Shin Haram had the ability to see through demons, how did such an incident even happen in the original story?

The connection was simple… In short, it was because there had been no exchange between Shin Haram and the other cadets. In a positive light, she was a noble person, and from within the negative angle, she lacked the necessary social skills. After finishing her classes and training, she found herself locked up in her private training ground, where she was celibately immersed in swordsmanship. And so, in the early days of her lack of appearances, she remembered how she was teased with reviews and comments by the author.

┃ What do you feel when you look at this photo? 

┃ 

┃ No matter how fast it is as a racing dog,

┃ To a wild cheetah, it is simply still just a dog. 

┃ 

┃ Even if it appears a few episodes later, 

┃ it can still be beaten by a superior difference.

┃ Such is the case with a different seed. 

┃

┃ Haram is now just like a cheetah, obediently watching. 

┃ No matter how much other peasants run around her,

┃ They will be nothing but racing dogs around a cheetah. 

┃ In the end, it is obvious that the main wife will be Haram. 

┃ 

┃ Haram is for balance… 

┃ For the development of the story… 

┃ A break is just in order…

┃ 

┃ Let’s start now. 

┃ The “real” heroine Shin Haram… 

┃ Compared to the other race dogs…

 | I began to intuitively get nervous…

╚ Yes, that’s right~! 

╚ What are you talking about? 

╚Shin Haram is smiling. She is just smiling there whilst looking like an asshole. 

╚ Go out and run, damn it!!!

 ╚ㄹㅇㅋ Just hit it!

It was quite a nostalgic memory…

However, it seemed that I had unintentionally twisted the original story a bit. 

‘Thanks to seeing you, I realized what to look for.’ Shin Haram was looking for me. But now that I’ve crossed the line, she would continue to look for other candidates. What if there became a contact point between Shin Haram and other cadets in this process? 

‘You would be dead.’ 

With this, the hidden demons may be revealed, thereby leading to inevitable bloodshed. If Shin Haram received a prison sentence for a shocking school murder case, it would be from an unexpected attack and nothing else. And if I were in the same position, I would lead all students to a situation where they would be scattered and locked within the dormitory. This in itself was an extremely simple task, only going up and down the corridors of dozens of floors. If things were to go down like this, I would have no choice but to quietly turn the genre into a secret-room murder mystery.

It was quite overwhelming to think about. If one was to think about the future, there were definitely characters that must be killed, but in order to get a suitable opportunity, it was more convenient to lead the raid until the midterm exam. 

Hou Rei-rei and Damian Blank. Since the two demons in the original work were obtained by hand, it would not hurt to take them off like this… but the feeling of incomplete combustion refused to go away. That was what it was – a counterattack. This time, I would attack Shin Haram.

《Woo~ Girl you’re shining♪♬ Like a 5th avenue diamond♪♩》

 Beep. “Connect” to the ringing tone in your head. 

《Uh, Rei-rei..》 

After hesitating for a while, the telepathy began to flow. 

“Ah, um, are you there, honey…?” 

The words ‘I’m not your honey?’ threatened to pop out of me, but I barely held it in. “Yes, it is me. How is it? Did you get any results?” 

“Uh, yes, it’s over there. Well. Ugh, we were at least able to unleash the spirits… a little! Also, I’ve been collecting rumors. First of all, the worship service would take place at noon. Ah, so, where is that place…” 

“Yes, yes. I wish I had found out Organize it later and send me a message.” 

“Ah, ah. Yep……!” 

The mental wave that washed over me proved to be quite shaky, but I know that the attitude was not just filled with tension. I smiled slightly and asked, “Is it good enough to use? That power.” 

There came a brief silence. Afterwards, there came a firm answer. 

“Yes!” 

Yes. That was it. Since the location and time had now been revealed, the back would only hit directly. This coming weekend, I planned to target the first-year tyrant as a stepping stone.

Religion was a social system that coexisted with human civilization. No, in fact, religion could be said to be the beginning of civilization. It was the oldest site in history, Göbekli Tepe was a temple that clearly expressed religious worship.

However, the estimated construction period of this Gobekli Tepe dated back to the Neolithic period of 10,000 BC, and it was presumed that an agricultural society had not yet been established at that time. A large amount of labor was required to construct an artificial structure. The development of agriculture was very much necessary to maintain a large workforce. Therefore, historians have thought that religion and other cultures were born as the population was concentrated due to the development of agriculture. 

However, what did the fact that religious institutions such as Göbekli Tepe were built before the advent of agriculture mean? This was what it meant. First, there was religion. And many people flocked to serve religion, yet agriculture was born to maintain a dense population. Religion was not invented because civilization was formed. Because religion existed, civilization had been born! 

Faith was not an accessory of society, but the parent of society. This could also explain why so-called fanatics and fundamentalists were so savage. This was because, in the beginning, religion in ancient times was in the position of creating laws and morals that preceded laws and morals. In a way, that was the essence of human beings – that he chose ‘faith’ in the first place. Humans were social animals. Expressing and understanding each other’s intentions through facial expressions and gestures, voices, body odours, and skin contact.

Also, in the same way, people could project the ability to read other people’s intentions on completely different things, such as hugging an expressionless teddy bear and feeling intimacy. It was also just like looking at the raining sky and feeling depressed. Then… it’s not at all strange to read the meaning of ‘someone’ from a thunderbolt, a huge cloud, a raging storm, the composition of gravity, the existence of a magnetic field, or the Goldilocks zone. 

This was because that was considered the proof of human sociality and the demonstration of empathy! Just as the natural sciences’ attempt to deconstruct human mental activity into electrical signals and chemical sparks using reason and rationality, the humanities could also connect the natural laws that make up the universe to give shape and meaning, and give names to all things. Even if the advancement of technology was able to uncover all miracles and conquered death, the stars, and the universe, we’d always doubt that a greater truth would await us in the undiscovered area. 

The imagination that always assumed the existence of something bigger, higher, and better. The element that established faith was nothing other than the driving force that constantly improved society, so religion was immortal as long as humans were human. I was the one who thought that the concept of religion would not disappear even in the sci-fi era, when mankind got out of the cradle and went to progress onto the sea of ​​stars. Even though minor forms such as gods, doctrines, and rituals could be changed. Desperately deep in karma… 

And so, here was the question. Could religion maintain its influence in a world where transcendental powers were rampant and even the existence of the soul had been proven? The answer was surprisingly, ‘of course yes’. 

Dae-ae-ae-ae—  Dae-ae-ae-ae————-

A few short tunes were then performed by the organ pipe as a demonstration, and men and women, adults and children alike, bustling, whispering words and praying murmurs were mixed in a dizzying mixture. It was like a shadow play when people who are obscured by shadows and backlights writhe with their backs to the light. The interior was dark and cozy, with long horizontal chairs lined up like piano keys in front of the podium.

In a space filled with solemn reverence, only the light of broken stained glass proved to be a colorful space. The theme managed to attract people from all walks of life, regardless of country or race. It may be natural that facilities related to all kinds of religions were also located on Cheongong Island, which was bound to be a melting pot of culture. This chapel was one of them.

On every weekend that would come, people gather to eat with a pure and holy heart or to receive the congo of both blessing and healing. In addition to this, I was sensing all the thoughts that were taking place in this place with my eyes closed. Leaning on the backrest, clapping ankles over knees. 

Such was the ability of “Super Sense (A)”, which was created when Shin Haram took a class. It was, at the very least, good to see that all the nearby sites were within my area. I was not religious myself, but I tended to like places that deviated from the world like churches, cathedrals, or temples. It would be okay to say that one tended to enjoy the atmosphere and the design. 

Besides, if at least limited to this world, wasn’t my existence the proof of God? It was alluding to the creator who called himself a ‘writer.’ Thinking like that, it might be the most suitable place for me. If one was to compare the positions, wouldn’t it be futile if everyone in this place bowed their knees to me? 

While letting those thoughts loose, I collected the senses o had released toward the outside of the chapel, much like the tip of a needle. This was because they knew that they have arrived. The sound of the marble floor resounding then knocked through my mind. I wish I could go through it like this. because it tended to make work easier… As I continued to think about it, a bitter smile eventually drew out.

This was because the refined footsteps gently changed direction. Soon, the surroundings brightened up. Right behind him, a graceful and gentle tone was handed to the man who was sitting next to him. Like the sound of bells scattering clearly with a rattle. 

“Sorry. Can you spare a little space?” 

It was clear that if I gave color to that voice, it would be cherry blossoms, and if I gave it fragrance, it would be peaches. The man, who had been basking in the breeze of a spring day, unconsciously distanced himself with a low hum. 

He then whispered both shyly and cutely, “Thank you.”

The girl turned to the other side, smiling softly at the man, and carefully sat down in the empty seat, just a little closer towards me. As naturally as it was decided from the beginning and as if her best friend was taking the place, her fresh cherry scent wafted through the air in a gentle manner. 

“Hi. Is this your first chapel here?” 

As expected… it had been this girl who delivered the cadet list to Haram Shin and Cheon Moo-rin. With annoyance staining my tone, I answered. “Baek Hwa-yeon?” 

In an instant, the world was torn apart with Park Dan-hyeok’s voice, which was filled with surprise. 

『Masquerade of Baekju-myeon (C)』. 

Thus, it was the moment when the characteristic that had been set in advance was activated. Read the most updated version of this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at Novel Multiverse – “NovelMultiverse dot com”
