Chapter 155: God of Madness (2)

...

“Wait.”

As he stared at Surha, he realized his guess was correct. He had to ask the next question, “Then, has he overcome [Seclusion]? Can he see <Big Brother> like the Master?”

Yoo Surha did not answer, but it was an act of agreement. And the silence made Kashim furious.

“Did you see it?! Did you see that he saw Big Brother yourself?!”

“…Why are you so infuriated?”

“Because it’s nonsense! I saw him too, and he was so weak to consider that he can overcome [Seclusion]. Maybe you were mistaken…”

Kashim wasn’t sure why he was so infuriated at the moment. He was talking a lot, which wasn’t like him at all, and he felt like he was trying to deny something.

“You believe that nonsense that some fool jabbered about and will leave Rupture…!”

“Kashim.”

After Kashim faced Surha’s cold stare, he became silent.

“If I saw something in my [Premonition], will you believe me?”

“What?”

“If I say I saw the Master killing all of you, and the man you call a fool was fighting to save us- will you believe me?”

Kashim felt his heart sink. He asked back in a shaking voice, “T-that’s impossible. It’s a joke, right?”

Surha did not answer but just smiled coldly. Kashim then realized she was indeed lying. But it didn’t matter if what she said was a lie.

“Poor man. You won’t believe me even if I say the truth.”

Yoo Surha then turned and walked away, fully confident as if she was walking toward the God she trusted. And after some time…

“Captain Kashim.”

“Oh, yeah.”

Kashim came back to his senses at Yoonhwan’s call. Surha had already disappeared. He then looked down at the document in his hands. The title of it was this:

-Project – Depth Invasion

It had been days since Jaehwan’s group arrived at the place of the Long Living race. Their village was protected by larger trees than the other areas, with huge hot springs scattered around. It seemed that most of these people usually spent their entire day within the springs or at small bungalows built in front of the springs. As guests, Jaehwan’s group was assigned one of those small bungalows, but there was one who wasn’t treated as a guest.

“…Why am I treated like this?”

Karavan, who was naked and had a scrubbing towel in his hand, shouted. Jaehwan looked at him in sympathy and spoke.

“They said you are a criminal, not a guest.”

“Criminal? I didn’t do anything wrong!”

“They said that you were in violation of not being naked.”

“What kind of crime is that?”

Karavan then shook his head and shouted as he scrubbed one of the warriors who just came out of the springs.

“I am Karavan, Vicegerent of Ignis! I’m not here to scrub your back! My hand exists to use [Hell Flame] and…”
