The Jelly Alien Will Save You!
Episode 13
B-Black Consumer?!
Thud!
I could see customers who were shopping glancing at us as they passed by. As if they were whispering ‘Those kids are troublemakers!’
The employees were also shaking their heads and sighing.
It’s true that I deliberately acted like a troublemaker to draw out Older Brother!
But there’s no need to advertise us as problem customers!
“Chae Heon! Let me go!”
“What?”
Pop!
I slipped out of Chae Heon’s grasp and came down to the floor.
With both fists clenched tight, I’m no longer just a troublemaker jelly. I’m a furious troublemaker jelly!
Pop pop pop.
I approached right up to the boundary where the red light was flickering and turned my head toward where the CCTV was.
‘Is Older Brother watching through that? Or…’
My eyes quickly scanned the surroundings.
‘Is he right nearby?’
There’s only one way to find out.
Breaking through this trap.
Though it seemed like we were completely isolated, I knew exactly how to escape from this light.
I raised my short arm and began reaching toward the light.
“Hey, you!”
Chae Heon hurriedly reached out his hand toward me. It looked like he was trying to stop me from doing something dangerous.
Even so, without withdrawing my hand toward the light, I said to Chae Heon.
“Don’t worry. You told me, Chae Heon.”
“…?!”
“That if you don’t believe, it’s all just an illusion.”
Like the hamburger steak that melted away from a moment’s doubt.
Really, something like this is nothing at all.
The moment my arm touched the light, the searchlight began to melt away.
“Right?”
I said to Chae Heon, who was standing there like someone who had just realized something.
“This mart is also completely-“
To completely break this illusion, I had to shake Chae Heon’s belief too.
“-just an illusion.”
Chae Heon’s pupils shook greatly.
At that moment, the display shelves collapsed first.
The walls sagged down like liquid, and the decorations lost their form.
Even the employees and customers with hollow faces began melting like cream.
“…”
“…”
We felt like we were standing inside a giant candle.
And in the place where the shopping mall had completely disappeared.
Tentacles covered with countless eyes surrounded us like walls.
This was the true form of this shopping mall.
Following people who entered the shopping mall and causing hallucinations with the eyes on the tentacles.
The darkness rippled as if breathing.
Bright yellow eyes kept multiplying.
Not just one, and there was no direction.
From places that were neither above nor below,
they were all looking at me simultaneously.
Chae Heon hurriedly covered my eyes.
If he had been even a little late, I would have been unable to handle the rapidly increasing contamination and lost consciousness.
Instead of saying thank you, I tapped Chae Heon’s arm and said.
“Hello, Older Brother.”
At that moment, darkness rushed toward us. The tentacles separated us two and wrapped around my body.
I reflexively squeezed my eyes shut, but I could still feel the gaze.
The feeling of it penetrating through my skin.
A creepy sensation like something scratching somewhere inside my head.
It felt like contamination was rising.
I was worrying about whether Chae Heon was okay when.
A very low sound echoed.
“Dodam.”
The voice flowing from the old, rusted speaker had slightly distorted pronunciation.
As if a human mouth hadn’t been used for a long time.
“Dodam. Now, it’s time to go back.”
At the same time, I felt the tentacles falling away.
I opened my trembling eyes slightly.
The tentacles with closed eyes no longer approached me.
I could feel they were being very careful.
Even though Older Brother’s appearance had changed from before, it must be because he still cherished me like before.
“How did Older Brother know it was me?”
Even though I’ve become this pink jelly, how could Older Brother recognize me at a glance?
“I could see, so I knew.”
Suddenly, bright yellow eyes began opening one by one from the darkness behind him.
Dozens, maybe hundreds of eyes were looking at me.
A voice came from them.
“With these eyes, I can see your essence.”
In an instant, some scene intruded into my mind.
It was a scene where my body split apart, and someone’s gaze penetrated deep inside through the gaps.
If I had been human, my whole body would have been drenched in cold sweat.
Older Brother was deliberately trying to scare me.
From a direction that could be above or below, Older Brother’s voice echoed again.
“Dodam. Go back.”
I shook my head vigorously.
“No!”
“You don’t know what you’re facing.”
“I can’t leave Older Brother like this…!”
At that moment, there was a sound of something being chewed from inside my ear.
Crunch.
“…!”
Crunch. Crunch. Crunch. Crunch.
The feeling of something bug-like invading inside.
Crunch. Crunch. Crunch. Crunch.
Crunch. Crunch. Crunch. Crunch.
Crunch. Crunch. Crunch. Crunch.
Crunch. Crunch. Crunch. Crunch.
The sound coming from inside my ear gave me goosebumps.
I instinctively covered my ears and lowered my head.
Scary. Goosebumps. Trembling breath flowed out through my lips.
Gnaw. Gnaw. Gnaw. Gnaw.
Gnaw. Gnaw. Gnaw. Gnaw.
Gnaw. Gnaw. Gnaw. Gnaw.
Gnaw. Gnaw. Gnaw. Gnaw.
Gnaw!
“Stop! Stop it!”
Only then did the sound stop.
Huff, gasp.
I was breathing heavily. Before I knew it, tears were welling up in my eyes.
I rubbed both ears hard. It still felt like that creepy sensation remained.
“See.”
Older Brother said as if muttering.
“You can’t even lift your head in front of me.”
I was speechless at Older Brother’s cold words.
That voice seemed like he was scolding me, or perhaps feeling bitter.
“…”
I couldn’t say anything and lowered my gaze to my feet.
I felt bad because it seemed like I had proven myself why Older Brother told me not to come.
If Older Brother had really intended to harm me, I would have either become a monster or been torn to pieces.
I had been proud of being the world’s only purification ability user, but in reality I was just a level 1 purification jelly.
I was no match at all for Older Brother, who had become a symbol of fear called ‘Xion’.
Even being able to face each other like this was Older Brother’s consideration.
“Older Brother is right.”
“Yeah, so stop…”
But.
“I missed you, Older Brother. A lot. Really a lot.”
“…”
Not knowing that Older Brother had become like this, I had even resented him for leaving on his own and not coming back.
“I don’t care what Older Brother looks like. You’re the same way, aren’t you? Even though I became like this, you only think about me.”
“Dama, I’m… Older Brother isn’t as simple a problem as you. We can’t be together.”
Older Brother tried to persuade me gently as he always did.
It was the same when he left for Yongsan Dungeon.
I sniffled, thinking of that time.
Anyway, I met Older Brother again. I’m going to try everything I can.
