Chapter 32
As I watched the surging wave of monsters, I gave strength to my thighs . The level 15 strength condensed at once and my feet developed a strong propulsion force .
The ground rats ran from all directions and the hard horns of the grolls flew from unexpected places .
My skin, which was tempered by the level 15 physique, became bruised and bloody from the grolls' horns .
[The number one bookmark has been activated . ]
Bookmark was activated and Kim Namwoon's Blackening wrapped around my body . I pushed away all the monsters coming from the front .
Fangs burrowed into my body and a few ground rats bit my thighs . However, I didn't stop . Run and run again .
Over here . Finally, the original wall was visible . I jumped over the ground rats . There was a green zone for two people shining .
By the way…shit .
[Green Zone 1/2]
There was already someone inside .
"…"
I forgot about the monsters coming from behind and stared at him . There was a guy who should never be there .
"Hey . "
He turned to me .
"Can't you get out? You don't even need to stay in here . "
"It is difficult . I am tired today . "
I pushed to punch this asshole's face . I didn't understand . This wasn't the 'third regression' Yoo Jonghyuk that I knew .
In Ways of Survival, it was written that Yoo Jonghyuk only found the first hidden green zone in the fourth regression… damn, did he know about this place since the second regression and it just wasn't described? Then why didn't he originally use it in the third regression?
Grrrr!
There were the cries of the ground rats chasing me from behind . It was too late to blame the writer . I could feel Lee Gilyoung's breathing . I stared into Yoo Jonghyuk's eyes . We spoke at almost the same time .
"Take the kid . "
"Give me the child . "
Still, it was lucky . The constellations would hear my words .
[Green Zone 2/2]
I moved Lee Gilyoung and the mark of the green zone changed . Now Lee Gilyoung was safe .
"Hyung! Wait a minute! Hyung!"
Lee Gilyoung urgently tried to rush towards me but Yoo Jonghyuk's hand restrained him . I swung my sword towards the ground rats .
[The constellation 'Bald General of Justice' has closed his eyes . ]
[The constellation Demon-like Judge of Fire is watching you with uncomfortable eyes . ]
At the last minute, Yoo Jonghyuk's eyes seemed to move .
「 I told you that you would die . 」
The waves of monsters headed towards me . Now there were no more green zones remaining .
"I won't die . "
I ignored the monsters and put a hand in my pocket . In fact, I really didn't want to use this . I couldn't be assured that there would be no aftereffects . Now I had to believe in the Fourth Wall .
「 That…? 」
Yoo Jonghyuk's eyes shook with surprise . This bastard, did he find out? Well, I wouldn't have known this method without him .
I looked down at the white stone shining in the palm of my hand .
[Specter's Stone . ]
It was an item I gained by hunting specters on the way to Chungmuro .
Hundreds of ground rats started biting at my body .
I was bleeding from minor wounds and the shoulders struck by the grolls' horns were red with blood . As the durability of my body rapidly diminished, I put the stone into my mouth .
Then something like water vapor started to emerge from my mouth . The water vapor formed a fog that covered me .
[The Welcome Prison is activated . ]
The ground rats and grolls stopped attacking me at once .
Everything around me started to distort . The platform, Yoo Jonghyuk and Lee Gilyoung calling out to me .
I became a 'ghost . '
* * *
「 Dokja . 」
I noticed as soon as I heard my mother's voice . This was a dream .
I tried not to get caught up in it but it wasn't easy this time . The floor sank like a quagmire and swallowed me .
[Due to excessive immersion, the influence of Fourth Wall has temporarily weakened . ]
Scenes started to weave in front of me, no matter what I wanted .
A living room covered with blood . The cold body of a man . The back of a woman looking down at the body . No . This memory was difficult to remember . I couldn't remember it .
I shook my head furiously and the scene in front of me scattered . This damn trauma…
It was a memory I didn't want to see .
This was why I was reluctant to eat the Specter's Stone . The Specter's Stone temporarily made the user a 'ghost' and turned them invisible to monsters . But it has a side effect of causing the user's trauma to peak .
That's why I didn't give it to the other party members . If it had been used by someone other than myself, they might've turned into a madman .
····· .
I had to endure, even if my head was hurting like crazy .
Certainly, the Fourth Wall was a scam . The skill would even be able to eat away at this stone . I wouldn't see this effect even with the superior 'Mental Barrier . ' Where was it? If my guess was correct, this skill…
「 Yoo Jonghyuk? Are you Yoo Jonghyuk? 」
I thought a trauma had started again but it wasn't my voice . It wasn't a voice created by my memories . I looked back and saw a strange woman .
「 …You aren't Yoo Jonghyuk . I think you are Korean but who are you? 」
A dazzling blonde foreigner . She was a little girl with a short height . The girl looked at me for a long time with an incomprehensible expression .
「 That…I don't understand . I've seen the future a number of times but I've never seen you before… 」
In the girl's left eye, an ominous red swirl could be seen . The pages flashed in my head . I knew this person . No, there was absolutely no way I couldn't know her . In this case…

A woman who could ignore space constraints and freely enter the consciousness of other people . A woman who saw the future and tried to design the future of the world . There was only one 'woman' with such a way of thinking in Ways of Destruction .
"Anna Croft . "
「 …How do you know me? 」
Her eyes widened and she glared at me .
I replied quietly, "I'm a prophet . "
[The character Anna Croft has triggered Lie Detection Lv . 7 . ]
[Lie Detection has confirmed that your words are false . ]
Indeed, I couldn't lie to a true prophet .
「 …Reveal your true identity . Who are you? 」
Her small lips were tightly closed . It looked as though she was protesting .
I anticipated how the situation would roughly occur . The woman noticed my presence, perhaps because the influence of Fourth Wall temporarily weakened . If Fourth Wall was really the skill I thought it was…
By the way… it was disappointing .
"Do you really not know who I am?"
「 …Huh? 」
"Didn't I send you the ichthyosaur's core?"
Anna's lips slowly widened .
"You must've implanted the 'great demon's eyes' with the power of the core . Right?"
「 T-Then you? You asked for Broken Faith…? 」
[Great Demon's Eyes . ] It was a huge one million coin item that was taken by this woman with a damn diamond sponsor . I felt envious .
「 You! What is your name? How… 」
[The influence of the exclusive skill 'Fourth Wall' is slowly returning . ]
「 Why… why can't I see anything…? 」
Her eyes became blurred . The influence of the Great Demon's Eyes, which could interfere with the consciousness of others, weakened and her figured gradually faded . I waved my hands .
"Someday we will meet . Wait across the continent . "
[The exclusive skill Fourth Wall has been completely restored . ]
