All types of thoughts passed through my head.
[The 'Fourth Wall' is shaking violently.]
There were two doors and someone seemed to be whispering to me. I could go inside one of them. However, if I chose one then I had to give up the other one. I couldn't do that.
“Demon King of Salvation.”
“…Yes.”
“If you delay then you can't save either of them.” There was no sense of reality in Aileen's voice.
“Please wait a moment.”
In my dizzy vision, the corridor across from the two hospital rooms was seen. The words of the Mass Production Maker crossed my mind.
-It's nothing. It is just a blocked road.
The end of the corridor was dim so I couldn't see anything. Yet everyone knew that there was nothing at the end of that corridor. In the first place, the corridor was made to have nothing.
「 Kim Dokja thought: It isn't possible. 」
Stay calm. There must be a way. I had come all this way and now I had to choose between the two people? Who should live and who should die? I couldn't do that.
[The Fourth Wall is looking at you.]
「 But you ha ve al ready cho sen. 」
At the moment, the scene of the first scenario filled my head. The shaky subway. The appearance of those who died. Maybe I could've saved everyone there.
「 Th us, you can ch oose this ti me too. 」
…It was different now.
「 Wh at is diffe rent? 」
Rather than replying to the Fourth Wall, I asked Aileen, “How much time is left?”
“Around 20 minutes… Lee Sookyung-ssi's side is more critical. After that…”
20 minutes. It was short but there was enough time to try this and that. It was too early to give up.
“If there is more star fluid, can you save both of them?”
“…There isn't a lot of possibility.”
I immediately pulled out the Old to New Toad. The toad cried out,
-Give me an old house and I'll give you a new house.
I pointed to the half-filled bottle of Nectar and asked,
“Can you change this to something new?”
Then the Old to New Toad shook its head.
-It isn't old or new.
“This was half-eaten by me. Thus, it is old. I'll give you other items if you fill up a new bottle…”
-The change… I can't help you.
As expected, such a trick wasn't possible with the star fluid. I had thought it might be possible.
-Tired, don't call me.
Perhaps it was tired from swallowing the giant soldier earlier but the Old to New Toad fell asleep.
I put it away and decided to try a second method. If I couldn't duplicate it, I had to get a new one.
[The demon king 'Demon King of Salvation'…]
[The use of the indirect message is cancelled.]
[The indirect messaging function is currently disabled due to checking and repairing certain scenarios.]
“I'll smash that story. So that Yoo Sangah-ssi won't die. My mother too.”
There was a dead-end wall covered in darkness in front of my eyes. It was a hard and thick wall that I couldn't smash. I slowly reached out for that wall.
