The name of an angel (3)

Digging into someone’s inner world is like breaking a hard eggshell and looking inside.

In the deepest part of the inner world, the person’s most delicate memories, which became the source of the ego, are dormant, and the person protects them as the ego—his own ego.

Because it is the basis of making oneself.

Any being with a self has such an eggshell.

It was no different even if it was just a ‘monster’.

uhh-

Something in the form of a human climbed up on either side of the small tree-lined road.

Like a monster in a swamp crawling ashore.

Dark, blazing shadows glared at us, burning gray-white eyes.

-Oh… that looks really bad.

“It looks similar to the one I vomited after eating a charred steak in the past.”

“·······.”

Why did I eat that, and why did I remember it now?

In the past and now, Ensia’s way of thinking can’t adapt.

He sighed and quietly drew his revolver.

“Those are like inner consciousness guards.”

“Guards? Are you blocking them from entering?”

“yes.”

Although each person has a different form, it is a means of resistance possessed by any living being with an ego.

Beings with weak egos can be forcibly destroyed before they even appear, but it’s not easy to break through because they’re about the same as a corps commander.

“I’ll take care of those, stay back.”

“Yeah~”

-Yes~

Ensia and the spirit retreated, and I raised my gun and aimed at the swaying men.

Needless to say, this is the inner world, so even this revolver in my hand is not real.

It is nothing more than a means of attack that my ego, accustomed to revolvers, instinctively created.

The only thing that overcomes the power of the ego is the power of the greater ego.

Only the unshakable power of solid consciousness can break through this resistance.

“I don’t think you’re stronger than me.”

Pull the trigger, and the flash explodes.

A bullet that drew a straight trajectory, ignoring ballistics, became a meteor that pulverized everything it collided with.

Many shadows were swept away and turned to powder with a strange cry.

“It’s nothing.”

It wasn’t as strong as I thought.

It must be because it is still at the beginning of the inner world.

I don’t know what will happen if I go deeper, but I was able to crush the enemies right away without difficulty.

bang! Quaang!

When you pull the trigger, the gun fire explodes, and the bullet draws a straight line of flash.

You don’t have to worry about ammo here, and you don’t even have to reload.

I constantly pulled the trigger, and the bullets raged like a storm, and they were swept away like autumn leaves.

-Ansia. What can we do if we can’t use an attack like that?

“We’re useless. Go get some popcorn.”

“·······.”

Ignoring the voices coming from behind, I focused on the guys blocking my way.

‘It’s a humanoid.’

These things are usually embodied in images that the person who becomes the owner of the inner world is familiar with.

It is common for humans to be human, and for demons, the same demon to appear.

However, it was a little strange that the demon’s image resembled a person…

The incompletely flowing human form feels as if the image has forcibly changed something that was human into a monster.

In addition, each one holds a weapon and forms a formation to face the enemy.

This must be…

‘He looks like a Hunter.’

The more you look, the weirder it gets.

Swallowing the question that welled up, I moved forward.

As usual with the resistance of the inner world, until it passes a certain point, it will run endlessly.

As we slowly moved forward, clearing out those who blocked the road, before long, the light of the spirit illuminated the end of the tree-lined avenue.

“Stay next to me. I’ll break through.”

“Yeah~”

I took Encia who summoned the spirit and headed to the border.

It was a huge wall that cuts the world in half.

A shell with a subtle gray color that reveals its presence even in the dark.

I reached out there.

shit-

Raising his mind control, he crumbled the shell with the power of ‘erosion’.

Cracks of red light rushed in all directions like a spider’s web, and before long, they turned to powder like crushed eggshells and collapsed.

I moved to the broken space just as far as the street corner.

“Oh! They’re not chasing me anymore!”

“They can’t come here. The boundary between consciousness and unconsciousness is clear.”

Unlike the outside, which was a realm of cognition in its own way, it is a completely different realm from here on out.

Because it is the place where Baltazar himself does not know much about, his unconscious sleeps.

‘The witch’s unconscious.’

Directly entering the realm of the unconscious is a very delicate task.

I haven’t done much against humans, but I never thought the day would come when I would use it against demons.

After all, the world is something to live for a long time to see.

“By the way, something here… looks a little spooky.”

“·······.”

be creepy

It may be so for those who see it for the first time.

It was in a dark forest, the sky was black and there were no stars.

Tree trunks, leaves, everything else.

It seems that everyone is looking at a faded painting.

The cotton is black, and the lines are white.

In the black and white forest, like the inorganic word ‘unconscious’, only black and white monotones prevailed.

“It’s spooky. Well.”

There is not a single light here.

It is obviously a gloomy space, but I felt ‘familiar’ first.

You can tell even without color.

That this is one of the battlefields I once passed through on Earth.

Hush-

Through the bush, something approaches.

Surprised Ensia clung to the side, but I didn’t prepare much.

Most phenomena in the unconscious space are harmless to visitors.

“Huh? That’s…”

It was the people who came out through the bush.

Those who shimmer in black and white and burn strange eyes.

The neatly dressed special suit and the weapons he was holding were completely different from those of the central dimension.

“·······.”

An inorganic garment with a strong textile feel.

Mask and helmet covering the face.

And weapons with an emphasis on practicality.

It was the same as the clothes worn by the hunters of ‘Earth’.

“···damn.”

At this point, I can’t figure it out.

Baltazar is.

In the form of Kaya, it is associated with Earth.

These hunters passing us crossed the forest, and soon after, I saw beasts coming from the other side.

A soundless roar and white burst across the black.

This, Baltazar’s, was a faded memory locked at the bottom of his unconscious.

“Huh…Professor? Where do you think you saw this?”

“yes.”

Ansia is right.

this sight.

The two forces clashing against the background of the forest must have been a familiar sight.

It was because the battlefield that I showed to Ensia and other students in a first-year class was like this.

Hush-

Something breaks through the silence.

It’s different from hunters.

The recent footsteps were coming towards us.

He immediately drew his gun and pointed it in the direction of the sound.

“Who are you?”

no answer is heard

It just comes this way.

bang!

A single shot was fired as a warning, but the speed did not decrease.

The opponent was fearless, as if he knew I wouldn’t hit.

“professor···?”

“Stay behind.”

Ensia hid behind me while holding the spirit.

Increased the power of mental control.

You never know what will happen in the unconscious world.

In order to interpret the sympathetic nervous system of the ghosts, they had to go deeper, so they couldn’t get caught here.

‘It’s not good to touch something here.’

It’s very annoying when the unconscious is twisted, but we can’t ignore it as long as we are recognized from the other side.

In case of emergency, I was raising my spirits to fight, but suddenly I heard a voice from the other side.

“It’s okay. You don’t have to be vigilant.”

“·······?”

It was a woman’s voice.

At the same time, it was a very familiar voice to me.

The gaze narrows and suspicion rises.

Before long, a person appeared through the forest where the gun was aimed.

“·······.”

He was the only person with color in this achromatic black and white space.

Black hair and black eyes.

However, the face underneath is someone I know very well.

“hi.”

Kaya Andreyevna Rechenkov.

A colleague of mine called ‘Wizard Kaya’ was there.

“Mister.”

Polar Night Prison, Balthazar’s containment cell.

Claire saw the two enter Balthazar’s inner world.

Encia was lying on the floor next to Kang Yu-jin, fast asleep, and Kang Yu-jin was standing upright with her arms folded and her eyes closed.

“This is true. How is it that there are no gaps in sleeping?”

The disciple fell down as soon as he started, but Kang Yoo-jin did not change except for the fact that he closed his eyes.

“I’m sure you said you wouldn’t look good if you touched it.”

Yujin Kang gave Claire some warnings before entering.

All of them were unique, but the one that was unique among them was the ‘four week alert mode’ he said.

It is said to be in a kind of automatic defense mode, and if someone touches it while in that state, it responds immediately.

It’s not waking up, it’s just that the body is made to react automatically.

“It’s so amazing…”

Can you do something like this if your mental abilities reach their peak?

Claire held out her hand out of curiosity.

If it’s just a light touch on the collar, there’s no problem…

“·······.”

he opened his eyes

The bright red eyes were glaring fiercely at me, moving only the pupils.

It was like an unspoken warning not to touch him.

“Ah… ahahahaha. I’m sorry.”

It’s such a cruel look in the world.

It was more like that because I covered my face with a hat and a mask.

As soon as I get farther away, I close my eyes again.

no machine whatsoever.

It couldn’t be anything but a creepy ability that went beyond novelty.

“That’s right. I’m standing on my guard. Claire’s name has died a lot.”

It can’t be helped because it’s a classified facility, but it was still twisted.

He grumbled and approached Encia.

There was nothing to do, I was going to poke his cheek and play.

Well, if not at this time, when will I torment the only daughter of the Vega family again?

“hehehe… Let’s have fun with your aunt, kid-“

clap-

My shoulders trembled at the sudden sound.

When I glanced back, Kang Yoo-jin, who opened her eyes before I knew it, was pointing a gun at me.

“·······.”

The wildly opened eyes were talking.

-Don’t touch my pupil.

“What kind of ghost are you…?”

Apparently, that sandbar alert mode included not only herself but also Encia…

Ultang stepped back with his face gone.

Would a person who is not a disciple live in sorrow?

“Ehh. What is this in my time…”

Beep-

Just then, a notification sound was heard from outside the containment room.

It was a kind of doorbell sounding that someone was coming.

– Kyung-Jung. The person you spoke of has arrived, are you letting me in now?

“Uh. Send it right away.”

As soon as I gave permission, the door on one side of the containment room opened and two girls walked in.

It was a girl with gray hair and a cynical impression, and a timid looking girl with black hair.

Adeline and Cynthia entered the prison cell and looked around.

“Is this where Yujin Kang is?”

“No, I’m scared…”

Why are you two here?

Of course, because Claire called.

The people who were written on the note and told to call in case of emergency.

It was just the two of us.

I don’t know the selection criteria, but Kang Yoo-jin must have judged that the two would be helpful in this job.

Of course, I emphasized ‘similitude’, but Claire’s idea was a little different.

‘What’s the use of calling after work breaks out? It’s just a matter of calling it from the beginning.’

…Actually, Yujin Kang had asked for Cynthia’s private training, but Claire, unaware of the situation, called the two as she pleased.

“What? This person isn’t responding.”

Even though a new person has appeared, there is no response.

He opened his eyes slightly to check on the two of them, but he didn’t take any action whether or not he came closer.

because he was his own person.

“Wow. People who aren’t disciples will live in sadness.”

I mumbled 200% absurd.

Professor Lee, I haven’t seen it like that, but his favoritism towards people is more blatant than I thought.

“Hey, hey…why did you call us…?”

“If you have any business, tell me quickly. We have work too.”

And the two who were called had faces that did not know why.

It was because I had heard the news that ‘Inspector Claire of the guard team is calling’ without any explanation.

“Why are Professor and Ensia here again…”

Cynthia looked confused.

It was because of Kang Yu-jin and Ensia, as well as Baltazar, who was tied up in the air.

Because one day she also met Balthazar in Abanrat.

“You two are benches.”

“Bench···?”

“Professor Yujin Kang told me to call you guys if something happened.”

“Uh…why us and not the other professors…?”

“Well? They say you’ll know if I show you this?”

Claire handed them a note to show in case of emergency.

Nothing special yet, but whatever.

“Kang Yoo-jin’s handwriting is correct.”

“Yes···.”

The two people who received the note begin to read the contents.

And as time passed, his expression began to become more serious.

Finally, the atmosphere between the two of them, which had been read until the end, settled heavily.

“This···.”

What was written there was a way to completely blow Balthazar’s consciousness through the sympathetic nervous system.
