I don't know why 'that book' suddenly came to mind.
One thing we can tell by now is that we have been sidelined from our goals for a while.
That means something that 'hunts' for our target will soon appear before us, as it should.
Why is it so peaceful?
The golden light that slowly entered the dark clouds appeared not only where we were, but also in other places, such as other schools or crowded spaces.
If so, it is highly likely that the same thing happened to us in the place where that light came down.
"Where does it hurt?"
"Huh, huh?"
I frowned for a moment, thinking, and then Jeongguk spoke to me.
Jeongguk's eyes were filled with anxiety, as if he was quite worried.
"No, I'm just thinking about it for a moment." When I told Jeongguk, he started looking at me more closely with a look that said he was still worried.
No, it's okay, but it's burdensome...
As I was talking about this situation with Jungkook, someone came up to me and called my name.
A voice that was angry and embarrassed, but suppressed as much as possible.
[How are you so calm?]
It was 'Kim Min-ji'.
Minji came up to me and started asking me questions about this and that.
Didn't you already know this situation? Why did you two just cover your ears when you heard the trumpet sound?
Actually, I think I was too calm.
Even when she cried in Jeongguk's arms, those tears were, in a way, reflex tears.
I just feel like I need to cry about something.
(It seems like a hidden camera now. I think it's become impossible to do that now, right?)
Minji, who was looking at the children in her class with a complicated expression, let out a deep sigh.
Minji, who had taken off her round glasses, simply raised her head towards the sky without saying a word.
[Huh, what the heck is this]
Minji, who was looking up at the sky and shedding tears like chicken poop, suddenly stops wiping her eyes.
“What? What is it?” Minji’s eyes, looking up at the sky, were filled with fear.
Minji's body, unable to move, seemed to be paralyzed by someone else, not by her will.
[Ah... uh.]
Minji opened her mouth wide as wide as she could, mumbling something as she tried to say something, and tears and saliva were streaming down her face and eyes.
‘Hey, what are you doing!’ Park Ji-hoon runs towards me, shouting from afar.
He's alive. I look at Ji-hoon with surprised eyes, and Ji-hoon runs towards me, getting even angrier.
[What are you doing! Run away!]
Jihoon threw himself at Minji and pushed her away, and a large, black foot landed with a thud where Minji had been standing.
“What is that...?”
When you raise your head along the straight line of the bridge, only then do you begin to see a dark shape.
I took a few steps back to look at the statue, which looked to be about five stories tall, and its appearance was very grotesque and terrifying.
From the face hanging on the body that was pitch black as if scorched by fire, round eyes were shining white like fluorescent lights.
The neck supporting the large head was unusually thin and long, and the arms and legs attached to the torso were fluttering in the wind like reeds.
The hands and feet hanging from the ends seemed larger than the face, and the sharp fingers filled with life force moved slowly, creaking.
[Fuck... what is that?]
Along with Ji-hoon's words, the beings that fell from the sky with a loud thud and a loud noise felt like they were blatantly mocking us even without a mouth.
Children who were trampled by the giant being's feet died one after another, and the playground, which had been quiet for a while, became a scene of chaos again, filled with the sound of screams.
At that moment, my intuition screamed at me like crazy.
Run away from here.
