Seoul Object Story

I was sitting in a chair in the containment room, decorated like a concert hall, pondering something while listening to the soft piano music playing.

The subject of my thoughts was the Hungry Ghost Reaper and the golden harmful Object.

More precisely, I was contemplating…

Where does mental corruption come from?

It was about the phenomenon of Objects turning into so-called ‘harmful’ Objects.

In fact, mini Reapers and firewood were immune to this pollution so I didn’t pay much attention, but the mental corruption that affected Objects had some special aspects.

First, the mental corruption that made Objects ‘harmful’ could never be reversed.

No matter how far back in time one went, the mental corruption was already ‘in an infected state’ as if the past had been altered.

If one didn’t carefully remember what they were like before being infected with mental corruption, even my perception would be distorted to feel like ‘it had always been that way’.

Second, the cause-and-effect relationship was unclear.

Like a result that appeared without a cause, it would suddenly be there.

When checked with the Orange Reaper’s ability, there were cases where it occurred even when the probability of occurrence was zero, and cases where it didn’t occur even when it seemed 100% certain to happen.

A jumbled mix of cause-and-effect relationships and the flow of time.

I knew of one phenomenon like this.

It was the reality erosion caused by the Rainbow Universe and the red giant that came from there.

The reality erosion caused by god-like beings from outside, outer gods, felt exactly like that.

Hmm.

Thinking this, I began to carefully examine the blue lizard jumping around on the piano placed in the center of the containment room.

A very faintly felt ‘harmful’ aura.

I could sense a small pollution, to the degree that even Golden Reapers would treat it as just a harmless Object.

Is the lizard strong, so it doesn’t get polluted easily?

In fact, the lizard was quite a strong Object that could revive infinitely and even use cloning techniques, though it had no attack ability.

Well, that means it’s quite powerful at the point where its destruction condition is complex.

I lowered my gaze to look down at the ghost cat cradled in my arms.

I hadn’t checked the cat’s destruction condition, but even roughly sensing it, the cat was a considerably weak Object.

Probably, if one could just break through its ghost form, it could be easily destroyed like a kitten?

But the ghost cat, like the blue lizard, wasn’t severely polluted.

‘Why are you fine?’

The cat, perhaps thinking I was picking a fight for no reason, threw a cat punch at my cheek as soon as it heard those words.

The more I looked into mental corruption, the more it felt a bit like the Rainbow Universe.

If so, wouldn’t there be a way to revive the Hungry Ghost Reaper’s attached Object in the Rainbow Universe?

No, I had a clear intuition that it must be possible.

As my thoughts reached this point, a small clue emerged from my hazy memories.

Come to think of it, I think there was a mini Reaper who had observed energy related to the ‘Rainbow Universe’?

I closed my eyes and started thinking hard to remember who that was.
