227 Big Brother 21

'The signal became weak, but the link between me and Jaehwan has not been broken yet.'

A year had pa.s.sed, but even if it was 10 years, Runald still trusted Jaehwan. He believed Jaehwan would accomplish what he set out to do and would never give up. Even if he was wrong, however, even if this world did not change, Jaehwan would never give up.

That's why Runald longed for Jaehwan.

'If only he didn't go up…' Runald thought. If Jaehwan was here, this world might have been more peaceful. If Jaehwan stayed in , this absurd organization that only sought power and fulfilling their desires would not have appeared.

It was when it was hard to fight against world power any longer that Runald stopped thinking. He placed his back on the gate and bit his lips.

'If Jaehwan was only here, these fools would've been swept by a stab…'

It was then that Runald looked up to the sky. Something flashed in the sky and fell, then came a thundering sound that penetrated the sky and the ground.

Screaming followed from all sides.

"AAAAAARGH!"

Then Runald heard Chunghuh and Karlton's shouts.

"Runald! Get down!"

But Runald couldn't get down. All he could do was to look up to the sky in dumbfoundedly. The sky was blinking as if it wasn't sure whether it was night or day, or a giant light bulb flas.h.i.+ng. And after a few more thundering sounds, Runald came back to his senses.

Everywhere around him was laid in ruins. The powerful G.o.d Bergetz and his thousands of Followers were no more. They all were killed by just a few claps of thunder.

"…What is going on? What happened?"

"Runald!"

Chunghuh and Karlton were running toward Runald at the north gate. They too seemed shocked by what just happened. They were looking around in disbelief at the result. They found Bergetz's spirit turning into dust due to the lightning that struck down from the sky.

A flash of lightning striking down all of a sudden? It wasn't possible unless someone made a hole in the sky.

…Wait. A hole?

"Wait! Is this him? Is it HIM?!"

"Are you serious…?!"

Chunghuh, Karlton, and Runald looked up into the sky. But the sky didn't have any difference other than having a weird ominous feeling within it. Chunghuh and Karlton shrugged and looked at each other. But Runald was still looking up to the sky.

"Hey, kid. Do you see something?"

"Runald. What do you see? Is there something up there?"

It was only Runald who had a direct link with Jaehwan here. His eyes were shaking violently. Chunghuh realized that something serious was happening so he tried to shake Runald back, but Karlton shook his head and held his shoulder. This wasn't a good time to rush.

Runald seemed completely out of his mind right now. And after a while, Runald spoke slowly.

"The eye…."

"Eye? What's with the eye?"

But even with Chunghuh's frantic voice, Runald wasn't sure what word could describe the sight he was seeing. It was unbelievable.

There was a giant eye bleeding painfully all over. And within it, there was a giant hole all over the place, shooting lightning out from within the hole.

And it was falling down.

Runald tried hard to explain what he was seeing but he couldn't make the words out of his mouth. And after a while, he was barely able to speak.

"He did it."
