The Obsessive Maniac Is Trying To Confine Me

Chapter 175 <… I want to go back.> I remember it a long time ago. In the man’s memory, the woman was crying. She tried to put on a stoic face for him, but when it became too much to bear, she burst into tears.It didn’t take long for the tiny teardrops to turn into tears. The woman was in excruciating pain. The fear of being away from home had long since taken over her, and the loneliness of not having anyone else around burned through her. The woman sometimes behaved differently from what Shi-eon knew. Sometimes she became violent, and he felt sorry for her. <What could I do?> <…….> <There’s nothing you can do, so you have to live with it.> He tried to comfort the woman in his own way. <Live for now. You have to live and do anything.> Whether she realized it or not, her condition was always precarious.He was always afraid something would go wrong with her. He hated that she was the only one who didn’t know. <I’ll find a way, you just have to stay alive.> <Lies.> The woman didn’t seem to think Shi-eon could do anything. Then why are you coming to the temple to meet me? Otherwise, there’s no reason for you to meet me. <What do you mean?> The woman had a talent for making Shi-eon speechless. <You know what? The man who found I chatting with you in the temple asked me if I had heard the voice of the gods?> <…….> <Your voice that resounds in my head is said to be a god. Isn’t it funny?> Shi-eon did not know what to say to the woman at times like this. Fortunately, however, the woman quickly recovered her energy. She spoke again in a lively voice. But the problem is… <Sing me a song.> <… a song?> <Yes. I’m bored.> She’s making difficult demands. Part of him wanted to say no, but I hated seeing her depressed again. Shi-eon remembered the song she liked. He remembered a song she had hummed a long time ago.It was her favorite song, and he’d heard it over and over again. Crawl into the swamp of despair.I know it’s muddy, dark, and hopeless.But I go in.Fall off the cliff.I’ll bury myself in the thorns.Even if my whole body is cut off…I’m okay with dying.If only you can save me. As I continued to sing, I heard laughter. <I didn’t know you would sing that song, but it’s good to hear it after a long time. what was the title of that song? I heard it a long time ago, so my memory is hazy.> <Savior. I think that was the title.> <Yes, that’s right. That was it.> Even if the sky falls and the earth crumbles.You are my only saviorNo one else can fathom.I’m the only one who’ll save you. She hummed the song as she remembered it.Soon the song ended, and she opened her mouth as if she had remembered something. <Now that I think about it, don’t you think you and this song go well together?> <The savior?> <Yes. You are like a savior.> She tells him that he’s her savior, even though she has no expectations of him. <You are like my savior.> A savior. Looking back, there was a time when I fell in love with that romantic nickname. I thought I was the only one who could save a woman. “Ugh….” Just then, the woman lying next to him woke up and moaned.Shi-eon looked down at the woman quietly. The moment she opened her eyes, he said as if worried. “Sister, are you okay?” **** Suddenly kidnapped. Shi-eon and I were locked up in a cage, the kind of cage used to hold beasts.I rattled the cage, just in case, but it didn’t budge.Then… “Your head…! Are you okay?” I quickly grabbed Shi-eon’s head and looked into it.“As you can see, I’m fine.” As Shi-eon said, dry blood was clinging to his forehead and hair, but there didn’t seem to be any serious injuries. It’s strange. I’m sure he was badly injured. He wasn’t breathing and had no pulse. “How….” “Sister, I’m fine.” When Shi-eon said that, I had no choice but to let him go. Am I wrong? “More than that, sister, we don’t have time, so I’ll explain it to you once. Listen well.” When I met Shi-eon’s serious black eyes, I nodded as if possessed. “I accidentally overheard the men who imprisoned us, we might die today.” “We… might die?” “They said they’re going to sacrifice us, put us in a boiling furnace or something…” For a moment, I was at a loss for words. “The mastermind behind this is the lord of Ruad. All the disappearances in town are because of him.” “… Is that true? What could the lord possibly have to gain by harming the people of the estate?” “I don’t know, but if what they’re saying is true, we’re in danger.” No, but we’re already in dangerous. I couldn’t afford to argue with him every word. “But, sister, don’t worry too much. I was lucky enough to wake up early enough that I managed to stay awake during the kidnapping and leave no trace of my rescue.” When…? “So if we are lucky, someone will come to rescue us before we are sacrificed.” “If you we’re unlucky…?” “They’ll come after we’re sacrificed, but we’ll have to hold out as long as we can to make sure that doesn’t happen.” Shi-eon’s black eyes shone brightly as if he had a plan. Even when I thought about it, it seemed that there was no other way than to obey Shi-eon’s words. ‘In the end, it’s up to luck.’ Still, I looked around with hope, wondering if there was any way. There were quite a few cages, as if we weren’t the only ones trapped.I frowned at the sight. And then my head started pounding again.Again. It was as if I was trying to remember something, as if something was trying to break through a barrier and let a memory leak out… It’s like being in a strange environment. “Oh Shi-eon, I have something for you.” “You have something for me?” I took out the locket pendant I had in my arms. “This is yours, isn’t it?” “…….” “I picked it up in the garden.” Why won’t you take it? Shi-eon looked at my hand without taking it right away. Then soon he folded my hand. “What are you doing? Aren’t you taking it?” “This doesn’t belong to me.” “But I saw you with this….” “That’s right, I’m just storing your stuff for you, it’s precious, don’t throw it in the ocean again.” What? What are you talking about now? I looked at him blankly, not understanding Shi-eon’s words. Then, bang! The iron door opened and men rushed in. “Careful. I’m going to take the sacrifice.” Whether Shi-eon’s words were true, the men began walking between the cages, looking for people who were imprisoned. I bowed my head, hoping that I wasn’t the one to be chosen. Then, out of the corner of my eye, I heard a knock on the cage. I looked up in surprise and made eye contact with a man who had his face pressed against the bars. The man’s eyes widened. Damn it. It seems that I have been chosen. “Take them out.” Bad luck. As I looked at Shi-eon to see what to do, Shi-eon slightly touched me. ‘Follow him.’ Well, it was my only option now.I meekly did as the men asked and gave them my hand. “Ugh…” I groaned as I was tied up so tightly.As I slipped through the bars, it was Shi-eon’s turn. At that moment, the door through which the men had come in suddenly opened. “We’re in trouble!”The man who opened the door shouted with a contemplative look on his face, and the men who were tying Shi-eon up turned to look at him. “What’s going on?” “That … The paladins seem to have found out about the location of this place!” “… Really?” “I just came to hear that the temple was moving.” The men were silent for a moment. Was it a temple that Shi-eon left a traces? What kind of traces you leave behind? “… How soon do you think they’ll hit this place?” “Thirty minutes at the most, I think.” “Then…” The man’s eyes flicked back to us. “Anyway, if we run away, we die. So we must destroy the evidence.” “…….” “Take them all out.” Hell began with those words. The men opened all the cages and forced the prisoners out. “Help me, please. Don’t do this.” “Go away. Why do I have to die!” The screams of those who resist and the brutal sounds of those who wield ruthless violence filled the room. “With them rebelling like that, we can buy some time.” Shi-eon said coldly, looking at the screaming people full of pain.Seeing that, I felt a different side of Shi-eon. Finally our turn came. Shi-eon and I were dragged by the men with our hands tied. In front of us, other people were being dragged along.Some of them were beaten and walking with limps. ‘Where are we going?’ I glanced at the front row. ‘Crazy.’ They were shoving people into what looked like a furnace. “No! Please help me! I don’t want to… Ahh!” They tried to escape, but they were all tied up tightly, unable to overcome the strength of the men, and fell into the boiling, crimson water. A scream echoed through the water, but soon there was no sound. “Hey, hurry up and get them in before the paladins get here!” Running out of time, they started tossing several people into the water at once. “AAH!” I had goosebumps all over my body. ‘No.’ I want to run away. “Ugh….” Again, a headache pounded my head. Looking at this scene, I felt like I was reminded of something terrible that was buried deep in my unconscious. In a room… a woman crying. … Celine. ‘Who is that?’ I asked, devastated by the woman who had come and gone from my mind. “You too!” Then a man pulled my arm with a vicious force. That moment when I was dragged away. Bang! “The paladins have attacked!” A scream was heard. “What? They’re faster than expected?” The men could not contain their disappointment, and everyone tried to leave the offering in a hurry. “I do not know! I will run away!” But the men who cared about their own lives abandoned the sacrifice and ran.One by one, then two by two, and soon the men in charge of the place dropped their sacrifice and fled. “Shi-eon, I think we are alive!” The moment I looked back at Shi-eon with joy, he had a meaningful smile on his face. “… Shi-eon?” “I’m sorry, senior.” Why are you apologizing? Why are you calling me senior? At that moment, Shi-eon pushed me. What? Before I could figure out the situation, I fell into a furnace.
