Omniscient Reader's Perspective

After hearing what I said, the king of wanderers smiled and said, "Long time no see, I saw you last time."

"We were just passing by."

I've seen King of the Rangers twice so far.

The first time was when Han Soo Young and I destroyed Song Min Woo, and the second time was when the flood disaster killed him.

This is the third time...

The King of the Vagabonds slowly took off her mask, and it was her face.

I asked, "When did you come out?"

"Not long ago."

, we looked at each other for a while.My mother and I don't look alike.

No matter how carefully I looked, it was just a face in my 30s.

When I was a kid, I used to hear that she looked like my cousin.Of course, I still had my father then.

"Do you live in Seoul?"

, She replied, "I'm here to meet someone I know."

"And then you accidentally got stuck in the Seoul Dome?"

"Yes."

"You have been released, why are you still wearing a prison uniform?"

"Let me see, perhaps a desire for redemption?"

"...Atonement? You?"

"Everyone is a prisoner and they have their own prison."

I stare at my mother.That outrageous tone...she really hasn't changed.

She told me: "Can't you just say thank you? You're going to have a harder time without me."

Of course, she helped.My mother led her army north to the disaster area.That's great, no matter how weak the catastrophe.In fact, I'm sure she'll do just fine.I hate my mother, but I also know my mother well.

"You're seeing your mother, but you don't look happy."

"Do you really want that?"

"A little bit."

[Exclusive skill 'polygraph lv1' is activated. ]

You have proven this statement to be false

Interesting.I know it's a lie, but I still have to find out.I said, "You survived. You were a great survivor."

"Thanks for that story you told me."

"I think so."

"You're the only one who comes to see me in prison and tells me about the novels you read."

that's right.In all the time I visited my mother in prison, I never had a single formal conversation with her.I only talked about the inactivation method.Once I get bored, I stop visiting.

"I have nothing else to say but this novel."

"how can that be?"

"That novel is all I have."

Images of the past come to mind before disappearing.

If it weren't for The Law of Inactivation or the writer of this story, maybe I wouldn't be in this world right now.

This story is the only consolation.

Jin Duzi has no mother or father.

My mother murmured: "This is a fantasy novel at best..."

"In the end, thanks to that novel, you survived."

We stared at each other in silence for a while.

[The constellation 'Prisoner of the Golden Hoop' is looking at you excitedly. ][The mysterious constellation conspirator is looking at you with strange eyes. ][The demon-like Judge of Fire looks at you with sad eyes. ]

It was I who broke the silence first. "What attribute did you get? It may be related to the novel I told you about."

"Should I tell you?"

"Yes, if you still treat me as your child."

"I don't know if you think of me as your mother."

"A little bit."

[The character "Li Xiuzhen" used "polygraph lv1". ]

["Li Xiuzhen" has confirmed that this statement is false. ]

Damn it.My mother already had this skill.There was a hint of sadness in my mother's expression.I don't know if it's acting or not.

"Do you still hold a grudge against me?" she asked.

"I'm not here to talk about that."

"Your father is a bad man."

"I know."

There are definitely 'bad guys' in this world.One is to use violence against the wife, to gamble illegally, and to threaten the livelihood of the family.

My father is a bad man.I know, and so does my mother, and Korean law says so.And yet... "You didn't act right just because my father was a bad guy."

"We have to sacrifice something for a better life."

"There is no such law in South Korea. There is a law that says anyone who commits murder should go to jail."

"You're good at speeches because you only read novels."

"To me, reality is more like a novel. Because of you."

At this point, this is no longer a normal conversation between a mother and son.That's why I don't want to talk to her.I know what happens when we talk.We know all too well how to hurt each other.

.I changed the subject, "Do you know why I'm looking for you?"

"let us see?"

"I know when you're lying, so stop beating around the bush."

Mother smiled slightly.

"You have Prisoner 406? Lend me Grandma."

"...wouldn't it be better to accept Jeon Woo-ki's avatar as a patron than this grandmother? I have many useful avatars."

"Jeon Woo Ki is mom's companion, and grandma will help too."

Mom stared at me for a moment, then nodded. "Of course, she might play a role because of the naysayers. By the way, how do you know who the 406 is sponsoring?"

"I can't tell."

"Are you able to meet sponsors?"

'.? I can't say anything to my mom, "Are you going to lend her to me?"

"I'll lend her to you. Instead..."

I'm a little scared of what she's going to say next.My mother might suggest a deal that I can't even imagine.She smiled lightly and said, "Introduce me to your friends next time."

I was stunned and didn't know what to say next.

...Oh shit.It's a perfect hit.My mother was the best and made bad people worse.

"Only son. Look straight at reality. Even when fiction becomes reality, you shouldn't take fiction for reality."

[Exclusive trick from The Fourth Wall shakes violently!]

I only heard a few words, but my whole world seemed to shake.I am very sure.To this, this man is the strongest reminder of my nasty reality.

"do you understand?"

The Star Trace of "Self-Justification 1" is activated

It's disgusting.Now she wants to act like a mother.Too many rivers have now been crossed back.

[Unique trick, the vibrations of the 'fourth wall' have subsided. ]

I couldn't take it anymore and stood up. "Exactly. I think fiction is like reality. Why? It's because I've always lived like that."

"..."

"Maybe you think it's pathetic. But, you know, at least I don't take 'reality as fiction' the way you do."

I spoke my last few words as I left the tent.The cool air enters the collar of my coat and reaches my body.I looked forward and saw Yoo Sang Ah who was slightly surprised.

"Sorry...only son is late..."

It is difficult, no, not difficult, but shameful.

"Did you hear it all?"

Liu Shangya lowered her head and apologized deeply.The top of her head is clearly visible.

.? Finally I sighed, "Do you want to go for a walk?"

We walked along the platform.It must have been a cold wind, but when it hit my cheek, the temperature changed.I didn't have time to wash my hair, but Yoo Sang Ah's hair exuded a fresh fragrance.

I asked, "How's your hangover?"

"It's okay. By the way, I heard you carried me on your back. Sorry. I bothered you."

"That's because you're taking care of me."

We were silent for a moment before I spoke. "Do you find it strange? Why would a mother and son talk like this?"

"not like this."

It's so weird that she's lying.

"Do you want to know?"

Liu Shangya's eyes trembled. "......if you do not mind."

I smiled wryly.Yes, now is the time to talk.I took a deep breath and said in an exaggerated tone. "My mother killed my father."

Oddly enough, my words sounded ridiculous, and I spoke as if this was someone else's story.

"She went to jail for her crimes."

I continued.

"My father...shameful to say that, but he was a man who was doomed. Domestic violence, gambling...my mother and I live in fear every day. No day is without bruises Yes. I get beaten sometimes. Then one day, my mother made up her mind and it happened."

"what......"

"I think it's famous in the company. Doesn't Yoo Sangah know?"

Liu Shangya did not answer.She realized afterwards that she had touched a wound that should never have been touched.

"Do you feel weirder now? It's legally wrong, but you don't understand why I hate my mother."

"No! I'm not an only child, so I don't fully understand..."

"Honestly, do you think I should forgive her?"

Liu Shangya couldn't say anything, she couldn't help herself, the wound of being moved had already opened.

After an awkward silence, I spoke up.

"Do you know the book "Underground Killer"? This book has been on the bestseller list before."

A discussion about a book pops up.Thinking that the previous topic was over, Yoo Sang-ah replied awkwardly, "I think I've heard of it. Isn't it an amazing bestseller?"

"It was an article written by an abused woman in prison after she killed her husband. At the time, it was praised by the critics. They said that the Korean version of "Underground Note" had come out. Of course, this Totally overrated."

Liu Shangya's face suddenly changed, she had already noticed that I didn't change the subject at all.

"Yes, it was written by my mother."

Yoo Sang Ah's lips parted.

"I still remember one time, a bunch of journalists were waiting for me at my door. They kept asking me if the article was true."

"..."

"I remember everything my classmates said. They told me my mum made money selling murders."

"The only son..."

"My relatives say the same. My mother is a murderer. How dare she show her face in the newspaper?"

Yoo Sang Ah wanted to say something, but I continued.

"Because of this, it's kind of hard. No, it's hard for a long time."

"..."

"I can live with being the kid of a murderer. However, being sold as a story is different. When my life is turned into money by someone, that's a different story."

I look at the sky.It wasn't night, but I was more sure than ever that distant constellations were watching me.Maybe this story is for them too.

However, no constellations have sent me coins.Should I be happy? I don't know.

"Do you still think I should forgive my mother?"

I don't need an answer.I didn't want her to understand in the first place.

Maybe this is the ugliest form of violence I can do to Yoo Sang Ah, who grew up in a wealthy family.

It's a manifestation of the arbitrary imposition of unhappiness on a human being who will never understand.

The friendly Yoo Sang-ah would feel sad knowing she couldn't understand.

I laugh at that unknown sense of triumph. "Sorry. It was just a joke."

"what?"

"That's a lie. Have you been fooled? Do you think there is such a novel? My mother and I are ordinary people, and my father had an accident when I was a child..."

Then something small and soft grabbed my hand.The texture is so warm that I forgot what I was talking about.For a moment... I stopped.

Yoo Sang Ah didn't look at me.Therefore, I did not look at her either.We walked hand in hand, not facing each other.It seems that this alone is enough.Strangely, my heart gradually calmed down.

[The unique technique of "The Fourth Wall" is trembling slightly]

Maybe it's because of the actual body temperature.

"Only son!"

..,? We approached the entrance of the station and heard people running.We instinctively let go.Jung Hee Won ran over and asked, "Are you two kissing again?"

"kiss?"

"Yoo Sang Ah blushed. You did it, you did it!"

If I didn't know more about Yoo Sang Ah, I'd be wrong.

"Stop messing around, nothing happened."

"Yes, yes, I'm sure." Jung Hee-won looked at me and said, "A strange grandmother came to see us. Was she called by the only son?"

An old lady on crutches came out from the back of the party. "I hope this useless old guy can help..."

Like the other prisoners, the grandmother wore a blue prison uniform.She is Prisoner 406.My mother was quick to respond.

"Are you the only son of gold?"

"Yes, that's me."

"I heard a lot about you in Xiujing, it's nice to meet you."

"It's also kind of fun."

Soo Kyung is my mother's name.I looked around at the team members and said, "She is indeed the one I'm looking for. Let's go."

We left and came to a place where people gathered.Yoo Jong-hyuk's team and kings have gathered there.

A white crystal slowly falls from the hall in the sky, it is a crystal that emits light.

[Warp Crystal]

This is the item we will use to get to the next scene area.
