Labyrinth Exploration 101 Episode 251

Free(2)

Bok Mal-ol, who massacred the Dales, goes down underground through the elevator.

What he’s thinking is still unknown.

Ding.

As soon as the elevator door opens, Dale failures fill the view. Grotesque-looking fakes.

Seol Ha-woon fires mana bullets at them.

Kwaaaaaa─!

He instantly kills the group of Dales trying to devour Kate. When facing multiple enemies alone, Seol Ha-woon is especially powerful.

─One-Eyed Dale: …A comrade has come.

The one-eyed Dale looks at him with a strange expression.

─Seol Ha-woon: Ms. Kate.

He calls out to Kate. Kate, covered in blood, steps over and over the corpses of the Dales to approach Seol Ha-woon.

-Wow but seriously what’s gonna happen

-Fuck I can’t breathe

-Look how the chat slowed down lol everyone’s the same

-Shit look at their atmosphere. I can’t breathe whenever Kang Hyeon and Seol Ha-woon appear.

-Bok Mal-ol..

-This bastard Seol Ha-woon acts cool even as a clone

Suddenly the one-eyed one whispers to Kate.

─One-Eyed Dale: Do not trust that one. He is no different from us specimens.

Is that why? Kate’s feet got tangled. Crash bang clatter. She hit her knees.

─Seol Ha-woon: ….

Seol Ha-woon extended his hand to her, but.

─Kate: ….

Kate got up by herself. She didn’t take his hand.

Ding!

The elevator door closed.

Whiiiiiing──

Inside the ascending elevator, the two people say nothing for a moment. The atmosphere is suffocatingly awkward.

When the elevator opens, Kate flinches in surprise.

The camera captures the Dale corpses scattered outside in the foreground.

You couldn’t tell just from the battle scene, but the scale was enormous.

-Wow shit

-He killed all of that?

-He’s really a murderous maniac

-Murderous maniac lol agreed

-His combat power is insane, isn’t he stronger than Kang Hyeon?

-He can’t beat Kang Hyeon lol didn’t you see this episode’s aura? Seriously Kang Hyeon is just a crazy bastard

-Seol Ha-woon who can do close combat is just fucking overpowered.

-Seol Ha-woon got a balance patch

─Seol Ha-woon: Let’s go.

Seol Ha-woon took the lead.

At that moment, Lee Si-ah bit her lips for some unknown reason. She felt a surge of emotion for reasons she couldn’t understand.

Probably because of Seol Ha-woon’s leg, which was limping again before she knew it.

─Kate: Are you alright?

Kate also seems concerned about Seol Ha-woon’s leg.

─Seol Ha-woon: Yes. It was nothing serious. That’s the place.

The massive gate at the end of the corridor. Seol Ha-woon limps and opens the entrance.

─Seol Ha-woon: Let’s go in.

The launch pad they reached with somewhat hurried steps.

An enormous rocket is housed inside the vast dome interior.

Thoom….

A faint rumbling flows in. It sounds like artillery fire.

─Seol Ha-woon: The Scavengers will swarm here soon.

Tap tap. Tap. Tap. Tap. Taptaptaptap. Taptap.

Seol Ha-woon taps the console panel of the rocket launch pad.

Thunk! Thunk! Thunk! Thunk!

Lights come on like spotlights. The entire area brightens up. Seol Ha-woon’s wounds become more visible.

[ Power activation confirmed. ]

[ System check in progress. ]

[ This will take a moment…. ]

─Seol Ha-woon: …We’ll have to wait.

Seol Ha-woon sat down on the ground and closed his eyes. Kate also leaned against the wall opposite him.

─Seol Ha-woon: ….

Kate looks at Seol Ha-woon like that. The camera also captures Seol Ha-woon’s appearance in detail.

─Kate: …What are you thinking about?

Seol Ha-woon’s closed eyelids tremble slightly. He seems annoyed, but still gives an answer.

─Seol Ha-woon: I’m thinking that I don’t want to lose.

Kate perks up her ears. She appears to be trying to understand his inner thoughts.

─Seol Ha-woon: No matter what happens, I don’t want to be defeated by that malice.

─Kate: …What do you mean?

Seol Ha-woon opened his eyes. He looked at Kate and tilted his gaze toward her. His hair, longer than Kate’s, was disheveled.

-Wow look at that charisma

-Still don’t know what he’s gonna do

-Maybe because being with Kate proves he’s real?

-Sigh…

-He’s really gonna ride the rocket up and kill Bok Mal-ol isn’t he

-If he just kills Bok Mal-ol then he’s real 99.999%

-I’m getting nervous

-Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck

-No but what happens now

-Shit I think we need to separate him

-Ah I’m going crazy I’m going crazy I’m going crazy I’m going crazy I’m going crazy I’m going crazy I’m going crazy I’m going crazy

-Bok Mal-ol. Kate. Stay. Away. From. Him!!!!

-For real they might suddenly fight each other and kill..

-Ha shit

-This labyrinth is really crazy

-The system and objective are simple but the twisted narrative is so delicious..

Lee Si-ah turned off the wildly speculating KakaoTalk again.

The gradually intensifying progression of the drama. All the explorers advance toward the rocket.

Lee Jun-ho enters the space center while engaging in extreme combat, and Kang Hyeon approaches the last 9th clone.

Seo Ji-woo and Yoon Hwa-rim succeed in getting their cart airborne and fly toward Naro Space Center, while the Im Dong-soo-Im Hae-jun Kim Dong-ha Lee Jong-soo- party defeats dozens of raiders with just three people.

Only after all their footage is shown…

Earth’s Last Day H-24

Kate sleeping while leaning against the wall, and Seol Ha-woon standing in front of the panel. The two people who are currently absorbing all the world’s attention appear.

Yoo Yul crossed her arms while watching the live broadcast.

These bastards know too well not only how to raise ratings, but also how to maintain them.

The highlight should be delayed as much as possible.

Power stabilization complete.

Kate flinched and jumped up with a start.

Beginning passenger authentication procedure.

Kate looked back in that direction. Seol Ha-woon was standing there perfectly fine.

─Seol Ha-woon: Kate. You need to place your card key and palm here.

He authenticates at the panel first, and Kate also places her card key and palm in sequence.

[ ID : JANE ]

[Analyzing DNA base sequence….]

[Gender : Female]

[Species : Human (Homo sapiens)]

[Estimated remaining lifespan : 98.7 years]

─Kate: 98 years old?

She twists the corner of her mouth as if finding it absurd. Then she glances at Seol Ha-woon who’s ahead and firmly presses the ‘EREN’ record on the panel.

[ID : EREN]

[DNA base sequence analysis complete]

[Gender : Male]

Looking closely──

The next line.

[Species : Clone (Clone – Type S)]

…Finally, at the end, that fact is clearly revealed.

-Wow

-Huh

-Physical evidence appeared

-Shit we find out like this lol

-It’s here!!!

-Is something big coming?

-Crazy it’s crazy

─Kate: ….

Kate stares blankly at the panel.

─Kate: What the…

One-Eyed Dale’s voice flows like a whisper.

‘Don’t trust that person. They’re no different from us.’

─Seol Ha-woon : Kate.

Seol Ha-woon calls her at perfect timing. Kate creaks as she turns to look at him.

─Seol Ha-woon : Follow me.

─Kate : …Yes.

Kate follows him without showing her feelings for now.

Thud. Thud.

The long, cold passage leading to the rocket launch vehicle.

Thud. Thud.

Kate stares intently at Seol Ha-woon’s back as she walks.

-How is this really going to turn out

-Will Kate kill him?

-Seol Ha-woon said he values himself most. Then he wouldn’t want to die.

-Ah shit

-Fuck I don’t know.

-Kate, kill him!!

-Now’s the time, stab him please

─Seol Ha-woon : You seem to have a lot on your mind.

─Kate : …I’m wondering if other explorers might come here.

─Seol Ha-woon : Probably just the two of us in America.

Their conversation is very precarious. Even Yoo Yul can see that.

“…”

Yoo Ji-in beside her isn’t even breathing.

The mentors said they couldn’t monitor Seol Ha-woon and Kate, so it must have been true.

─Seol Ha-woon : Let’s go in.

The two people soon enter the launch pad.

─Seol Ha-woon : There isn’t much time left now. The rocket will launch soon.

─Kate : What about the scavengers outside…?

─Seol Ha-woon : Dale’s forces on the underground floor will buy us time. Even though most are, there are many of them.

[Cryogenic sleep mode activation available]

[Passenger vital signs confirmed stable]

[Minor damage to hull section confirmed]

─Seol Ha-woon : There’s a broken part.

─Kate : …Do we need parts?

─Seol Ha-woon : No. I can fix it.

-At least leave him alone until he fixes it

-Kate seems to be thinking the same

-No but is Bok Mal-ol a good kid or bad kid, really confusing

─If he’s ultimately trying to survive… he can only be a villain

-Seol Ha-woon said he values himself. Isn’t that too selfish?

-Ah then who wants to die lol

Seol Ha-woon focuses on repairing the spaceship, and Kate fixes her gaze on him.

─Kate : …

She uses telekinesis to pull mana liquid from Seol Ha-woon’s backpack and injects it into her arm.

-Something big is coming

-Are they fighting?

-Finally?

-Finally??

-Ah fuck!!!

-Ah I’m going crazy

-My heart is racing

-Master, is Bok Mal-ol going to die????

-Finally showing true colors master bullshit

-Ah I’m going crazy

-Houn-ah ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

-No wayㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

-ㅁㄴㅇㄹㄴㅇㄹㅁㅇㄴㄹ

-bjgdnmorlmnrrlmnomplgjbjdgmnor…

-Ban the spammer;; Are you crazy

[Damaged area repair complete]

[Launch system final check in progress… No problems]

─Seol Ha-woon : It’s done.

The repair is finished.

─Kate : …

Magic power ripples around Kate’s body. The tension in the air stretches taut.

Just when it seemed like fierce combat would break out at any moment, Seol Ha-woon suddenly turns around.

─Seol Ha-woon : Ah, there’s one more problem.

─Kate : Another one?

─Seol Ha-woon : Yes. Please step back a few steps. Do you see something like a threshold there?

─Kate : …Here?

─Seol Ha-woon : Yes. That part.

That was when it happened.

Thud──!

Suddenly the gate came down. Precisely at the threshold Seol Ha-woon had pointed to, reinforced glass divided the space between them.

-Ah as expected

-That bastard trying to save himself alone;

-He was using Kate after all

-Fucking bastard

-Seolhaun hell lol

-Hahahaha

-Wow he really acted cowardly till the end and this is how it turns out

-The production crew are fucking terrible really X bastards

-Hah..

-No Kate is also an idiot why doesn’t she stab him quickly

-Kate is just fucking stupid too

-What the fuck they’re all stupid idiots

-Just fucking hit it

Kate hurriedly pressed herself against the glass window.

─Kate: Ah shit! What are you doing right now-

─Seol Ha-woon: Ms. Kate. That place is the rocket launch vehicle.

─Kate: You!

Kate formed a long spear in her grip. She clenched it tightly to smash the glass.

However.

─Seol Ha-woon: And this part where I’m standing is merely the fuel tank.

Seol Ha-woon playfully raises his eyebrows.

-Huh?

-What?

-??

-?

-???

-Huh?

-? What did he just say?

-Shouldn’t he be in the launch vehicle?

Question marks frantically appeared in SilTalk, then the entire chat window went dark.

It had crashed.

─Seol Ha-woon: I’ll handle things down here. The Scavengers will probably rush in faster than expected.

─Kate: …What did you say?

Kate’s pupils shook violently, while Seol Ha-woon calmly continued speaking.

─Seol Ha-woon: Ms. Kate. Did you think I wouldn’t know?

Kate looked at Seol Ha-woon beyond the glass window. Seol Ha-woon also met her eyes.

The camera captured both of them in one frame.

Separated with a wall between them, an angle where they couldn’t reach each other….

─Seol Ha-woon: With that much hesitation, you won’t be able to kill anyone.

Perhaps, words pointing out Kate who couldn’t kill him until the very end.

─Seol Ha-woon: I know myself better than you do.

The magic power in Kate’s hands slowly dispersed, and she lowered both hands weakly.

─Seol Ha-woon: I am Seol Ha-woon. But I am not the ‘real’ one.

His voice was calm. His acknowledgment of his own existence appeared indifferent.

Very much like Seol Ha-woon.

─Seol Ha-woon: Therefore.

He seemed to have known who he was for a long time already.

What choice to make, he seemed to have already decided.

─Seol Ha-woon: …I should remain here.

When that voice clearly resonated through the speaker, Yoo Yul looked at Yoo Ji-in beside her.

“….”

Yoo Ji-in was also glued to the TV with the same expression as Kate in the broadcast.

It probably wasn’t just Yoo Ji-in. Quite many viewers around the world would be similar.

“Hmm.”

This was an actual situation, not a movie or play.

Death there was real death.

The human heart accepting death was also sincere.

Yoo Yul quietly smiled like a sigh.

“What a memorable line.”
