Chapter 103

[Good Man]

We parked the vehicle in front of the collapsed building. stopped.

“We camp here today.”

Wang Guho and Sirutdeok started taking camping equipment out of the car.

A tent was set up in an instant and even simple cooking facilities were provided.

“older brother. “I’ll make you some hot food right away.”

“I want to help you too!”

Sirutdeok, who finally had something to do, rolled up his sleeves and started cooking. The little boy sat next to him and snooped around.

I’m lucky if it doesn’t disturb me…

While a fire was lit in the middle of the camp and dinner was prepared, I set up a simple camp around the camp.

Sssssssut.

As the flow of energy around us was distorted, the entire space we were in became blurred.

It’s not a very high level strategy, but most monsters won’t notice.

Abraxas came next to me and looked at Jinbeop with a curious expression.

“Do you know how to use camouflage magic?”

“This is a little different from magic… but the effect is similar. “Because it hides us from the outside world.”

I hated being attacked by monsters while eating.

I planned to get to my destination as comfortably and safely as possible.

Avoiding monsters as much as possible.

I looked back at Abraxas and said.

“Don’t just look around, why don’t you pay for the meal too?”

“hmm. “I think the camouflage is sufficient…”

Abraxas scratched his cheek and layered magic over my formation.

Ssssssut.

A translucent sphere of magic covered the entire space we were in.

“It’s an unpleasant spell. “Some monsters won’t want to come around here.”

Only after magic was added to the formation did I regain the sense I had spread out as widely as possible.

To be honest, I was quite tired because I had to detect and avoid monsters in advance on the way here.

I’m pretty hungry too.

“Sirutdeok. “How long does it take for the rice to be ready?”

“Please wait for 15 or 20 minutes, bro!”

“Wait, uncle! “If you want to eat something delicious, you have to know how to wait!”

I didn’t know what on earth they were making, but the faces of the rice cake and the little assistant next to it were covered in black soot.

I sighed lightly and said.

“Then, I’ll take Kiri out for a moment. Please keep the relief here and the driver rest in peace. As for… you’re going to follow me, right?”

“of course!”

I left the camp with two creatures from another world.

Swish! Swish swish!

As I ran with Kiri on my left arm, we were far from the camp in an instant.

“You’re too fast!”

Kiri, who was hanging on my left hand, was shaking and saying she was scared. I lightly ignored the protest and climbed the wall of the 10-story building.

Tadadat!

When I got down to the roof of the building, I put Kiri down on the floor. Kiri, who had been sitting down for a while with her eyes rolling, struggled to get up.

“Why are we here…”

I pointed in a direction with my finger.

“Take a look at that.”

A few dozen meters ahead of where we were standing.

Red fog was gathering and swirling in the air ten stories high.

Kwakwakwakwakwa.

At the center of the swirling red fog was a vertically elongated black crystal.

It looks like the eyeball of a giant monster.

It was a phenomenon that began to appear throughout the city after the second disaster [Red Fog] began to spread.

Also known as [Red Eye of Disaster],

a supernatural phenomenon that continuously spews out red mist and is impervious to physical force.

It is impossible to completely eliminate the red fog unless all of the [Red Eyes of Disaster] are removed.

Incheon, where the fog first occurred, had the largest [Red Eye of Disaster].

Anyway, what I wanted to ask Kiri was this.

“Do you know what that is?”

Kiri looked blankly into the eyes of disaster for a while and then turned to me.

“That’s…”

“You’d better be honest. “Why are you doing this?”

I looked at him with an emotionless face.

In my life before returning, the red fog was a disaster that killed countless people.

It’s still the same now. If not stopped in time, this fog will encroach on the city, and many people will die from its toxicity and die fighting monsters that have become berserk after accepting its toxicity.

Among them, there will be some faces I know.

“Actually…”

My lips, which had been hesitant, opened after a long time.

“There’s something I couldn’t tell you.”

We gathered together after dinner.

Grumbling.

The fireworks made by the little boy lit up like a bonfire, and the group sat around them.

The sky could not be seen properly due to the red fog, but the darkness and lower temperatures made it possible to guess that it was night.

It was Kiri who broke the awkward silence.

“The planet I live on is dying.”

The red fog encroaching on the city did not come near us.

This was because Kiri was pushing away the fog with her own abilities. Thanks to this, our camping was quite comfortable.

“We are a dying race. “There are only a few thousand survivors, and they are shrinking every day.”

“…….”

No one said anything in the silence, so Kiri had to continue what she had started.

“The king ordered us to find a planet where our species could live, and an investigation team, including my brother and I, was formed.”

“So that was some kind of mission?”

It was Abraxas who asked the question. Kiri nodded.

“yes. We traveled across dimensions and searched for planets with environments similar to ours. “I had to risk my life dozens of times… and in the end, I ended up being controlled by the parasitic devil.”

I said, feeling the story getting a little tiring.

“So what is this fog? “What about those eyeballs?”

“Fog… plays a role in turning the Earth into an environment similar to our planet. “If we were talking about Earth, it could be said to be a device that supplies air…”

It was like terraforming.

Just as humanity planned to turn Mars into a terrestrial planet, the Low-Low race sought to find a planet they could live on and create an environment similar to their own.

Kiri said with an aggrieved expression.

“But I really didn’t know! This fog can be toxic to the people of Earth…”

“In other words, you spread a fog that kills the people of Earth in order to survive.”

Kiri lowered her head at my cold tone.

“I should have told you everything right away, but I couldn’t. Because you might get angry and kill me. It’s okay for me to die. But if I die, there will be thousands of my compatriots waiting for me…”

I stayed still with my arms crossed.

The little boy and King Guho looked at Kiri with pitiful expressions, and the driver and Shirutdeok sighed.

At that time, Abraxas tilted his head and asked what I was curious about.

“But you’re fine even if you’re not in the fog, right? “Is that fog really necessary?”

“…my body has been modified to adapt to extreme situations. However, our people cannot live without this fog. “Me too… I can’t hold out for long.”

Ssssssut.

When Kiri stretched out his hand, the fog that had been staying at a certain distance flew out and was absorbed into his body.

Kiri said with a slightly relaxed expression.

“Once I find my brother, I will definitely remove the fog. We will also seal all supply devices.”

“Like that?”

Where my gaze was directed, the [Red Eye of Calamity] that had been sealed earlier had changed to the size of a ping-pong ball and was floating on Kiri’s shoulder.

“yes. “I need Siri to completely dispel the fog, but I can seal the supply all by myself.”

The fog around here was definitely lighter than before.

As far as I know, there are a total of three [Eyes of Disaster] on the way to Incheon.

Even if all of that is sealed, it will be possible to greatly delay the period when the city is engulfed in fog.

Kiri got up from his seat and bent his waist to 90 degrees.

“I’m really sorry! “Once I find my brother, I will remove all the fog and leave the Earth right away!”

Kiri’s expression looked relieved, perhaps because she had poured out everything she wanted to say.

But my curiosity is not yet answered.

“Are you going to cross dimensions again?”

“yes. “We need to find a planet better to live on than Earth.”

“By your standards, how good is the Earth to live in?”

Kiri said hesitantly.

“It’s the best environment on any planet I’ve ever seen, but…”

Then, he looked at me and said, ‘That’s not going to work, right?’ He lowers his head and mutters with an expression like this.

“My people may be dying even now… but everyone will endure it. Mother, father, uncle…”

Isn’t that what you want me to hear? seaʀᴄh thё Nôvel(F)ire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

“Kiri…”

The little boy, whose big eyes were filled with tears, said while holding Kiri’s hand tightly.

red and green. Moreover, they were so small that they looked like a pair of watermelon bars.

“don’t worry. “He will help you.”

what?

I looked at the kid with a puzzled expression. Kiri looked at the kid and me back and forth with an expression of disbelief.

“Because your hobby is doing good things.”

I don’t have that kind of hobby?

Before I could open my mouth to say that, Abraxas spoke in strong agreement.

“It’s definitely like that.”

What are you sure about?

To make matters worse, Wang Guho and Sirutdeok were also nodding their heads.

“If you are the team leader….”

“You should tell me already. “My brother will take care of everything.”

Even driver Park Young-bae looks at me and smiles quietly.

“…….”

It’s amazing. Why is everyone like this?

Why are you looking at me with an expectant expression?

As if I could solve all these problems.

“Haa….”

Everyone seems to be under some ridiculous misunderstanding.

I’m not that kind of person.

“That fog. “Can we control the toxicity so that it does not harm the human body?”

I’m just asking this because I’m curious.

“Of course we can improve!”

Kiri answered as if he had been waiting. With your eyes sparkling.

“If we do more research into the Earth’s environment and understand its impact on humans… I can assure you that it will not take long.”

“What is the population of your species?”

“About 3,000 people… the number is probably lower now.” As I looked at Kiri’s suddenly darkened expression, I

thought about the future, 20 years from now,

before I returned .

20 years later.

Earth is a [dimensional hub] connected to numerous dimensions and lives together with numerous otherworldly races.

A world where beings living in dozens of dimensions travel back and forth between Earth.

Among them, there are races that modern humans cannot even imagine.

giant. dwarf. Prisoner. devil. angel.

Even species that take the form of plants or insects.

‘There were more than one or two problems that arose until that happened.’

For some races, a welcome greeting is an insult that will lead others to draw their weapons, and for some races, excrement is gold for others.

There were some races that could kill other races just by breathing, and vice versa.

After experiencing so much confusion and trial and error, 20 years later, the Earth enjoyed tremendous prosperity.

“…It won’t change even if one species that resembles broccoli is added.”

“yes?”

“not a big deal. “I was just talking to myself.”

I said to Kiri, who looked at me expectantly.

“From now on, we will study how to eliminate the toxicity of the fog. If possible, change the color a bit. “It looks ominous because it’s red.”

“Then…!”

I nodded to Broccoli, whose eyes were wide.

“I’ll go find your brother first, and when I come back, I’ll let you meet the president.”

I was nothing before.

It was difficult to even meet Joo Sang-wook, let alone the president.

But now I was able to introduce the President to a race from another world and allow them to live on Earth.

“Don’t talk about useless things like fog to the President. Talk about the situation on your planet and say you want to live on Earth.”

“…Is that really okay?”

“okay. That guy would allow it. Oh, and…”

Again, I’m not volunteering.

I’m doing this because I have something to gain.

“The Rock of Sisyphus… Did you say Rubelon in your language? “How many of those are there?”

Kiri thought for a moment and answered.

“There are five in total, including mine.”

“Five.”

I saw the technological prowess of the Rorlow race and knew that their number was 3,000.

“Isn’t it true that the fertility is very good or something like that?”

Siri blushed and answered.

“It’s very low…”

It’s just right.

“What about architectural technology? “Are you good at building houses?”

“…Can I be honest with you?”

“of course.”

“Our technology is ahead of the Earth in every way.”

They are a race that travels across dimensions, so of course that would happen.

I said with a satisfied smile.

“Then, if you have land, you don’t have to build a house?”

“of course. You can’t shamelessly ask for a house…”

“Then that’s enough.”

Coincidentally, I had a lot of empty land. Hundreds of thousands of pyeong of wasteland that has recently been pioneered and has just begun to be incorporated into the country.

It is now a wasteland with nothing, but soon 3,000 aliens will come and turn it into a new city.

“Come and live on my land. “The rent will be waived for one year.”

Kiri said with an expression of disbelief.

“Why did you do this to me… You killed hundreds of people on Earth, and that fog is to you…”

Of course, it was a disaster.

But that’s when it’s out of control.

“After a year, you will be able to collect rent without any hesitation.”

“Ughhhhh!”

Kiri burst into tears.

He repeatedly bowed his head to me and said, “Thank you!” “I will not forget grace!” He said it repeatedly.

“Of course, all these conditions apply when the toxicity of the fog is completely removed.”

“of course!”

When I finished talking and looked around at my group, everyone was looking at me with happy expressions.

“As expected of you!”

The little boy ran up to me and hugged my waist.

Why is this so disgusting?

I pushed the kid aside and said, “Huh. I pretended not to hear Abraxas muttering, “Good man.”

Then, I picked up the spoon I had put down for a moment and ate the remaining food.

“…I can’t digest it, so stop looking at them.”

Everyone burst out laughing.

Perhaps because the fog had faded, the stars seemed to twinkle a little in the sky.

I put down the dishes and spoke to my companions.

“We’re leaving early tomorrow. Let’s settle down and go to bed quickly.”

It was then.

The light that I thought was starlight got closer and instantly became huge.

“…damage!”

Almost as soon as I shouted, it fell on us.

-Quaaaang!
