You Will Be Blessed If You Do Good Deeds¿ - Chapter 117

Loneliness (è ±æ¯).

Originally, it refers to the last surviving poisonous insect in a jar containing poisonous insects.
In fact, strictly speaking, what I use is not a real bug.
The item that I put into James Chenâs throat is an item made with my blood.

â⦠⦠No, considering that the system treats me like a pest, is it similar?â
The last time I rented a lab to make reagents, I made a few of them as a side job, but I didnât expect them to be used this well.
I temporarily created a bug that I could control by putting my magic power, that is, blood, into the monsterâs shell.

âDominated? What on earth did you do⦠⦠Keuk!â
James Chen, who looked up at me in disbelief, convulsed in pain again and bit his mouth with white foam.
âOh. Thatâs because youâre talking nonsense.â

It seems that the loneliness that had taken hold in Jamesâs brain made him pay a small price for disobeying my orders.
- Quest, Good Deeds, Blessings ¿ is in progress.
- If you act in a way that is inappropriate to social standards, your ability restrictions will be strengthened.

- The system points out that âtorturing humansâ is an act that most members of society would not agree with.
âTorture, no way!â
I pretended to be exaggeratedly surprised by the system message that came to mind.

I was annoyed, but it wasnât that I hadnât expected the system to act like that, so I had an excuse prepared.
âThis is part of the treatment.â
It wasnât a lie.

Even though he was suffering like that, in fact, I had just saved that manâs life.
If my loneliness hadnât infiltrated James Chenâs body and swallowed the time bomb planted in his detonator, his head would have already exploded.
Just like Lee Man-bok.
Compared to an old man who had become completely ignorant, a slight headache was a luxury.

âKeuk⦠⦠Kkeueueuk⦠â¦!â
Jamesâs body convulsed violently.
Ah, itâs a bit painful to call it a slight headache.

The loneliness that must be settling in James Chenâs body right now must be quite severe.
âWhat is this, a side effect of the treatment?â
- The system suspects the intentions of the user, âJeong Da-onâ.

Crackle!
The tips of my fingers slightly tingled.
Perhaps the system was trying to restrain me with the intention of restraint.

However⦠⦠.
â⦠⦠⦠⦠â
As a result, nothing happened.

The ability restriction was not strengthened.
It was just as I thought.
In fact, I saved a guy who should have died like Lee Man-bok, and on top of that, didnât James kidnap me first and try to experiment on me?

The judgment was that a little pain, no, the pain that came with the treatment was âjustifiedâ for that guy.
âThis is the limit of the swarm intelligence.â
This ultimately means that the majority of the people who make up the society affirm me.

An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.
However, neither the law nor morality favors the weak.
It is very easy for a demon to infiltrate this broken society.

âCough, cough⦠â¦!â
James, who was lying on the ground, vomited black blood.
âLook at this, the surgery was successful.â

The suggestion magic that had been embedded in Jamesâ brain all this time was now released in a form.
The thick blood seeped into the floor.
It was unfortunate that the original form of the magic circle was completely destroyed and could not be examined, but it was certain that this kind of thing would happen.

I thought that if Orbis had reached out to James Chen, he would have taken appropriate measures.
The only problem was whether my solitude would be effective.
In the end, it was very effective.

âHan Jae-young did a good job.â
In order for the loneliness I made with my blood to settle in and influence the other personâs body, the other personâs mind must first submit to me.
In the end, this loneliness is a bug created with my magic power, and magic power is the power of the soul.

In other words, the other person must feel completely defeated by me mentally for the loneliness to properly settle in their body.
Thatâs why I used Han Jae-young.
Han Jae-youngâs transformation.

I thought that if Han Jae-young transformed into me and made James Chen submit, I could use the loneliness.
Of course, Han Jae-young would never have imagined that he had asked me to attack James Chen for this purpose.
Wriggle!

Jamesâs body on the ground shook violently.
I grabbed Jamesâ head, who was lying on the ground writhing in pain, and pulled him up.
âTell me about Orbis.â

â⦠⦠I donât know about that⦠⦠Itâs true! Itâs true!â

As if to prove the extent of the pain he had already received, James made excuses while looking at my face.
âI donât know about Orbis. I just know about the pattern on that bracelet⦠⦠the item with the snake carving on it!â

â⦠⦠Continue.â
âIâll tell you, so please, please do something about this⦠â¦!â
âThat depends on how useful your story is.â

James hurriedly continued to speak at my words.
âBuh, itâs been over 20 years already. I saw an item with the same pattern when I was collecting items!â
James Chenâs story was like this.

James, like Leila, knew that he had the talent to sense magic since he was still a minor.
Naturally, he dreamed of becoming a hunter.
And Jamesâ wealthy parents wanted their child to be a little safer.

So they bought a self-defense item that could protect James⦠â¦
That item had a snake piece like the bracelet I showed you.
âAre you saying that an item with this piece engraved on it was on the market?â

âIt wasnât a normal route. I heard later⦠⦠that they got it from an acquaintance on the black market. Everyone did it that way⦠⦠.â
â⦠⦠The black market.â
Itâs not surprising that the black market is thriving in the United States.

Even in Korea, illegal reagents are often distributed, and the laboratory I rented in New York is also close to the gray zone.
âI heard that it was quite famous on the black market at the time. The items with the unique snake piece engraved on them all had surprisingly low magical power consumption but great output.â
âEven if it was a black market, the craftsman who made the item would have been known. Who was that?â

âI donât know about that. Seriously!â
James added urgently when he saw me frowning.
âI was a minor at the time! âYou donât know much about the Black Market.â

âBut if it was that great of an item, you would have tried to get more later.â
â⦠⦠I tried to look for it later.â
As expected.

âBut, by the time I was active, there were no more new items in circulation. Everyone just assumed that the craftsman who created the item had been killed by a competitor.â
â⦠⦠Hmm.â
âCough!â

James Chen fell to the ground again, screaming in pain.
- The system points out that âtorturing humansâ is an act that most members of society would not agree with.
âItâs not about torturing, itâs about checking to see if there are any more hints left.â

There are more than one or two things that bother me about James Chenâs story.
First of all, it was 20 years ago.
âYouâve been in this world for that long?â

Thatâs strange.
As far as I know, Orbis was definitely alive before I died⦠⦠Above all, the wizard who had become a life-size Buddha in the previous dungeon also mentioned Orbis.
Since he had created a life-size Buddha after the world had already been destroyed, it was clear that Orbis had survived my death.

But the items made by Orbis had been circulating on this Earth since 20 years ago.
Even before I was born into this world.
That wasnât the only questionable thing.

âI find it hard to believe. I just happened to buy an item⦠⦠.â
âWhat, what, what? What are you talking about! I really told the truth!â
Jamesâ face, as he spoke desperately, was stained with dirty bodily fluids.

At the same time, his nails, which were scratching his neck and arms, were stained with blood and flesh.
James screamed.
âIt itches so much, it itches so much! I think Iâm going crazy!â

It was clear that the loneliness was spreading through Jamesâs blood vessels, not just his head, and his whole body was ticklish.
Looking down at that face, I folded my arms and pondered.
In fact, it was actually unlikely that someone who was completely mentally defeated and writhing in pain like that would be lying.

That made it even stranger.
Even if it was Orbis, in order to cast this level of suggestion magic, he would have to make direct contact with the other person.
And there would have to be something to cast suggestion magic on.

Then⦠⦠.
âWant to look here?â
I kicked James Chenâs chin, which was still convulsing and covered in unpleasant bodily fluids, to make him look away.

James Chen looked at me with an ugly face.
âIâd rather kill you⦠⦠!â
âDonât joke around. Let me ask you one last question.â

I created a small illusion on my palm.
âHave you seen this human?â
Honestly, just recalling the memory makes me sick.

But if Orbis wasnât reincarnated into this world⦠⦠.
It would be exactly as I know it.
âAh⦠⦠.â

James Chenâs eyes, which saw the vision blooming on my hand, were filled with amazement that didnât match the situation.
Silver hair that flowed down to his feet as if symbolizing power, and light blue eyes.

Emperorâs attire splendidly embroidered with golden thread.

That was the last time I remembered Orbis.
James opened his mouth.
âIâve never seen such a beauty in my life⦠⦠kekeke!â

I kicked Jamesâ mouth.
âDonât say such unpleasant things.â
James Chen looked up at me as if he was being wronged after asking me, but it was none of my business.

Who told me to say such crazy things?
Isnât it because loneliness entered my body wrongly? Suddenly, my whole body seemed to be crying out in pain.
âIt doesnât make sense that you havenât seen it. This human planted a bomb in your head. It must be around you.â

âThatâs⦠⦠But, Iâm telling the truth. Iâve never seen a woman like that in my life!â
What on earth happened to Sun?
While I was lost in thought, James Chen opened his mouth, looking at me.

âIs that womanâs name Orbis?â
â⦠⦠Yes.â
âIs it because sheâs young? Sheâs naive. I donât know what the circumstances are, but judging from what youâre looking for, she must be being chased. Nowadays, people can change their faces with reagents or surgery. You can even buy a fake identity if you have money. Itâs easier than you think.â

â⦠⦠⦠⦠â
James hurriedly continued after seeing my expression.
âThat, that means youâre saying youâll help me find it! You said youâd contact me, right? Investigate all the people youâve met over the years⦠⦠.â

âShut up.â
James hurriedly shut his teasing mouth at my words.
I wonder if I didnât know that possibility.

Common sense tells me that considering Orbisâs purpose, itâs obvious that she wouldnât have revealed her identity or purpose to anyone else. Maybe she could have changed her face.
Orbis is truly the âenemy of humanityâ.
This Earth itself is the enemy of Orbis.

But⦠⦠.
â⦠⦠You really did something that was not like you, Orbis.â
I honestly couldnât imagine that the Orbis I knew would do something like that.

Hiding my natural face, abandoning my name and identity, and making money by doing illegal things in the black market.
And by doing all that, your goal is to somehow hold on to a world that has already been destroyed beyond repair.
Thus, youâve thrown away all your pride and have been struggling in a completely different world for decades⦠⦠.

A strange feeling came over me.
The one who was once my beloved sister and my proud emperor really⦠⦠.
âI, I really told you everything. I told you that I would help you!â

I suddenly came to my senses at Jamesâ words.
Yeah, thereâs no need to be caught up in such tiresome feelings.
James Chen was now rubbing his body on the floor.

It seemed that his itching had reached its peak.
âSo please stop. It hurts so much, it tickles, and it feels like all my blood vessels are being eaten away!â
â⦠⦠Okay.â

Now that things have come to this, it would be difficult to kill James Chen right now.
Heâs a more useful person if we leave him alive anyway.
I obediently grabbed James Chenâs hand.

And then, enduring the unpleasant sensation, I gently poured my magic into Jamesâ body.
The moment my magic flowed in,
James Chen, who had been rolling around on the floor, suddenly stopped moving.

Like someone who had wandered through the desert and found an oasis.
âWhat is this⦠â¦? Is it healing magic?â
Healing magic, that couldnât be true.

I looked down at James Chen and smiled.
âI just fed Solitude.â
â⦠⦠No way.â

âAnd my Solitude only feeds on my magic.â
Solitude will sleep and be quiet when itâs full, but it will wake up and crawl through the blood vessels of my body when itâs hungry.
In other words, if James doesnât receive regular supply of my magic, he will suffer from this pain forever.

âIâm still a rookie hunter who just finished basic military training, so I need a lot of things to be my hands and feet.â
Jamesâ eyes widened as if he was seeing something unbelievable.
Yes.

Itâs not enough to just announce to the world that Iâm a formidable opponent.
I really need to create a force that I can move.
Thatâs the way to break through this situation.

âWh, what are you talking about⦠⦠! Thatâs ridiculous! Thereâs no way this kind of magic can be legally permitted⦠⦠.â
âItâs quite funny that youâre talking about the law. The gag code seems to fit well.â
Youâll see each other often in the future, so it wonât be bad.

âDonât worry, you have another comrade.â
âComrade⦠⦠.â
âOh, theyâre coming.â

Han Jae-young and Yoo Han-ul were approaching from afar with Leila. They must have been very flustered, because their footsteps were fast.
âLetâs do the rest of the interrogation after we get out of here.â
I waved at them and said.

âSo act sensibly like the devilâs servants.â
Lying is the devilâs virtue, after all.
