037. Suggestion

The sun also rises in the cross dimension.

The warm sunlight warms the cold air of dawn. It shines and pushes away the darkness.

The day was bright. Kim Woo-jin checked the situation one last time with an iced Americano in his hand.

The sky clouds are complete. The tree of the world tree was completely covered, and Lily, who gave her three elixirs, also went into the cage.

The energy of the World Tree completely disappeared in Purgatory. I don’t know again if I go up to the World Tree, but at least I can’t feel it in the buildings of Purgatory.

This is a satisfactory performance.

“What about the prisoners?”

“Everyone is quietly in solitary confinement.”

“Who is the enforcer?”

“As you said, I put you in a closed cell on the 3rd floor.”

“How is Kang Min-shik doing?”

“It is modest. In fact, it is not a situation where you can do something or say something.”

His vision and hearing were blocked, his movements were blocked, and his mouth was gagged. And put in the 1 punishment room. There’s nothing he can do right now.

“What time is it now?”

“It’s 8:51.”

9 minutes left.

“great.”

Kim Woo-jin put on a hat.

The unnecessarily diligent manager left a message that he would come at 9 o’clock. Time is like a knife, so it will come exactly.

“let’s go.”

When I went down to the lobby on the first floor, the guards waiting in advance lowered their heads. Kim Woo-jin calmly looked around once more.

The walls and floors, which had been in a mess due to the prison break, were as clean as ever. As long as you don’t force yourself, there’s nothing to be caught.

“There is nothing to be nervous about.”

Kim Woo-jin comforted the nervous guards.

“It’s not uncommon for administrators to find purgatory themselves, but there’s no need to overreact. No matter what he says, I’m the one who accepts it.”

“Yes!”

The guards nodded. I checked the time and there was one minute left.

“To their respective positions.”

“To the location!”

Prison guards stood on both sides of the main gate. At the end, Kim Woo-jin took his place.

Even if you don’t like it, since you’re a superior, you have to be polite. Kim Woo-jin brushed the dust off his clothes.

And exactly 50 seconds later, the door opened.

kiik-

Ten Enforcers came first. They naturally came in and stood in front of the guards.

And a man walked through them.

Soft blue hair, jewel-like golden eyes, pure white skin and sculpted face and proportions.

All sorts of rhetoric is attached, but Kim Woo-jin simply evaluated him.

A guy like a parasitic brother.

I’m going to smash that face sometime.

My footsteps stopped in front of Kim Woo-jin.

“It’s been a while, Kim Woo-jin, director of Purgatory.”

“That’s right, Bern Ortian.”

Bern frowned.

“Still cocky. As a superior, I have come to inspect your prison.”

“There is no mention anywhere that the manager is the superior of the warden. The vaccine war is just the top.”

“You are playing with words. well, good That’s always what lowly creatures do. However, I don’t know if it can continue to the end this time too.”

Vern put his hand on Kim Woo-jin’s shoulder.

“Director of Purgatory, Kim Woo-jin. First of all, I want to hear a report on the management of Purgatory.”

“Go to the office.”

Kim Woo-jin led Bern to the office. Only the two enforcers followed after Bern.

All the way to the office, he looked all over the hallway.

“Anyway, no problem.”

“That is a matter for me to judge.”

Even so, the skills of the Dwarves, who were once warriors, were so ghost-like that there really were none.

“Don’t let the henchmen come in.”

“Please wait outside.”

I arrived at the office soon. As if it was natural for Vern, he sat in the upper seat. Kim Woo-jin smiled and sat in front of him.

“How can I get you some coffee?”

“Don’t throw in that kind of dirty water. I don’t think he’s an insignificant creature, and he has a beggarly appetite.”

“Your mouth, whose name is God, looks like it has bitten a rag.”

“A day will come when you will regret your arrogance.”

Kim Woo-jin ignored Bern. Clap, lightly clap, the guards put down the coffee and piles of papers and disappeared.

“This is an operational report for the past 11 years.”

“Why 11 years? What about the other nine years?”

“Any other guy came and saw it then, so ask him.”

“I have the right to see all of the 20 years you were appointed director. bring it.”

Our eyes met.

“Director of Purgatory, Kim Woo-jin. As the Inspector of Purgatory, I told you to bring it.”

Standing flags sway in golden pupils.

Tok tok, Kim Woo-jin knocked on the table.

“I don’t say it twice. bring it.”

“third time.”

Kim Woo-jin spread his fingers.

“I said it three times, you.”

“Bring it.”

“Yes, if you want to see it that far, you should see it.”

Kim Woo-jin called the prison guard. Moments later, another pile of papers was placed on the table.

“But there is such a saying on Earth.”

“I’m not particularly curious.”

“Don’t pretend to be too strong. Because there doesn’t seem to be any more.”

“That is what I want to say. How long do you think your prestige will last?”

Bern turned over the first page of the report, frowning.

Tick tock, tick tock, only the sound of the clock on one side of the office broke the silence of the quiet office.

Kim Woo-jin crossed his arms and watched Bern.

“There are quite a few questions.”

The administrator’s perusal is incomparably faster than humans. approximately 30 minutes. After reading through the vast report, Vern put the paper down.

“Exactly 27 days ago, what were you doing?”

“It was just an ordinary day.”

“That day was the day when the barriers of Purgatory’s dimension were shaken. But normal? There is not even a single mention of it in the report. As if it was deliberately covered up.”

“Because it’s nothing special.”

“There is nothing special about this world unless something goes wrong with the dimensional barrier.”

“I accidentally touched the barrier a little bit. You don’t even need to write that down, do you?”

“Are you telling me to believe it?”

“You must have checked the barrier on the way, but let’s not tire each other out like this.”

The World Tree can intervene in barriers and dimensions. However, on the other hand, it may not be. Currently, he had asked Lily to collect all the mana that was in contact with the barrier.

Bern sent an unfavorable look, but there was no problem that was revealed on the surface.

“The dimensional barrier opened 17 days ago.”

“One prisoner missed his hometown so much that he became homesick. So I went on vacation. You guys don’t want the prisoner to die either, do you?”

“Kang Min-sik’s hometown is not Kraft.”

Bern’s eyes narrowed.

“It is my second home. Been there for decades.”

“Kang Min-sik caused trouble by kidnapping the emperor in Kraft.”

“I must have had a grudge with the emperor.”

“The means of kidnapping the emperor was space transfer. I know that Kang Min-shik doesn’t have space-related abilities.”

“Still, he was a warrior, but he must have only one or two companions?”

“Since then, the barrier has been opened twice more. Wouldn’t it be enough if you were on vacation?”

“I can’t come back alone, so I brought it myself.”

“In order to bring a prisoner who just went on vacation, you yourself.”

“yes.”

“…at least according to the report, there’s no problem.”

Cheek, Bern tore up the papers.

“That makes me even more suspicious.”

“It was written with great care.”

“If Kang Min-shik had been on leave rather than jailbreak, he would of course be in purgatory right now, right?”

“Sounds natural.”

“I will check the condition of the prisoners.”

Bern rose from his seat.

Dercain cautiously opened the distribution port.

Blocked noises are heard from far away.

“Here you are.”

Finally the manager came. Derkhain recalled yesterday’s interview.

‘You said you wanted to leave, didn’t you?’

‘I said I had no choice but to leave. I never said I wanted to leave.’

‘If I don’t go out, I’ll have to go to the punishment room.’

‘I’ll help. Wasn’t it helpful this time too?’

‘Why did you become so cooperative?’

‘I am old.’

‘I said that last time too.’

‘I’ve lived too long as a warrior. Will my family recognize me when I go back to my hometown? Are the family members I know alive?’

Not like that. He was imprisoned in purgatory for over 300 years.

This is enough time for a normal dwarf to be born and end its life.

Everyone in his family must have already died. There may be children’s children left, but there is not much attachment to the grandchildren and great-grandchildren they have never met.

‘I’ll be honest. What is left of me is vengeance.’

The lost 300 years took away everything from Dercain.

The old man who had lost everything was left with only hatred and miasma.

Anger at the gods who paid back their enemies even though they saved the world as requested.

‘Isn’t that the choice of Derkain-nim? There were plenty of opportunities to get out.’

‘Locked up and forced? It’s the fault of the imprisoned gods, not my fault for not succumbing to their threats.’

‘Haven’t you been like this before?’

‘Because it has changed. After the world tree germinates, you and the situation. confident I’ll be helpful.’

‘…We’ll talk about that later.’

Kim Woo-jin did not give a definite answer. However, just putting it off and thinking about it meant that there was room for it.

“god.”

no, admin.

There is only one manager that Derkhain has seen in person. The one who called himself Balos.

He offered Derkain a warrior and even offered an enforcer. And he was the one who put Derkain in purgatory just to return to his hometown.

At first, I thought he was the only one because he was a god.

However, I found out here.

That there are countless managers.

“The existence of the vaccine war itself is proof that they are not gods.”

If you are omnipotent and omniscient, what is the need for many? The warden is right. They are administrators, not gods.

I’m just managing this universe. In the process, they have gained more than enough strength and power, and they are bastards who are using it to do evil.

“I want to see what the other managers look like.”

When we meet again in the future, in order not to forget and crush our faces.

I was wondering what the other admins were like.

Derkhain hoped that the manager would come up to the 4th floor.

“god···.”

Julia bit her nails nervously.

In the process of becoming a hero, after saving the world, of course he saw God. We had a conversation.

But it was the first time he saw God as a prisoner, not as a warrior.

Of course, he wouldn’t be able to answer, but I wondered what God really thought of the warriors who became prisoners and why he imprisoned them.

How clearly the warden’s relation to the gods is, and whether purgatory has no more intrinsic purpose.

And above all.

‘He’s the director of purgatory? Didn’t they kill you?’

‘Did you beg for your life? I’m not a person like that.’

How did Kim Woo-jin become the director of Purgatory?

“I’m sure you’re not talking about me.”

The appearance so far didn’t seem like it, but there wasn’t yet enough trust to be completely believable.

Kim Woo-jin probably doesn’t trust her completely either.

If Kim Woo-jin changes his mind and tells the manager about Yulia and Albenius…

“…Ah, no way.”

Yulia smiled awkwardly. But the fingernail-biting movements intensified.

“Let’s believe.”

Albenius, who believes in Kim Woo-jin.

And the actions of Kim Woo-jin who hid the World Tree.

Kim Woo-jin, who responded positively to his request.

the moment you think so.

kiik-

The prison door opened.

Doubt for a moment.

“It is you. The High Elves of Purgatory.”

A man I had never seen before appeared.

“I, being merciful, will give you one more chance despite your mistakes.”

But Yulia instinctively realized who the opponent was.

“Are you thinking of becoming an enforcer?”

It is God.
