Hoarding in Hell Novel

Chapter 285 Whispering Star (8)

“end?”

Hyunmoo asked with his arms crossed in front of Gowl. It was a fight that he didn’t want to take another step until he explained what that meant.

Gaul let out a sharp iron sound.

The expression on his face was unrecognizable, but Hyunmoo knew it was a sign of irritation and dissatisfaction.

“I’m tired of just hearing the explanation and moving on. Say it out loud, you sneaky bastard.”

[Literally.]

jittery.

A shattered arm pointed to the hill behind Hyunmoo, dripping metal shards.

[The Whispering Star drove mankind to the end. She split Chrom and drove him to hell. Isn’t that just her sin? All the stars ostensibly promoted a cause, but the Whispering Star took only its personal success and swept into ruin. The hell we committed to future generations is her sin, which she instigated.]

Hyunmoo thought that the sound of metal breaking was like grinding teeth and sobbing.

The one who appears now will be the agent of the Broken Star.

She’s probably been as deeply involved in this world as Monstrill’s agent, Hyunmoo thought, and there’s a poignant story between the two.

“Anyway, the rest of the cubs are really good at blaming others. Please explain what it means to say that the whispering star brought the end. I don’t intend to fully understand what you’re talking about.”

[She is.]

Ghaul grunted, grinding his teeth.

[The Star of the End was born.]

the star of the end

Hyunmoo had seen most of the earth covered in something dark.

Looking at it that way, it was certain that perhaps the dominance of this world was closer to the victory of the ‘Star of the End’ than any other star.

And Gaul saw it as ‘the end’.

“Why is that? Weren’t you guys playing quack like you were playing a game? It seems like every star is responsible for making the world so messed up, but why are you only making such a fuss with the whispering star?”

[The Star of the End is not what you think it is.]

Gaul raised his hand. His broken arm created a round sphere.

The sphere changed into all sorts of strange shapes. It was an animal, it was a human, it was a building, and it made the shape of a tree or artificial satellite.

Every time Ghaul spoke, metal dust shattered from the sphere.

[The star of the end is simply the ‘end’ itself. The world disappears and becomes empty as if there was nothing from the beginning. All the high things in the world are made low, the hot things are cool, and the complicated things are simplified. That is the end.]

And finally, there was nothing left in Ghaul’s hands. He looked into his empty hands and said.

[There is nothing. Returning to an emptiness where there are no winners or losers, nothing can be born.]

Gaul lifted his gaze and looked at Hyunmoo.

[Who the hell wants such a future? Even those who simply want the world to burn, dream of a hell full of heat and malice.]

Especially in an era full of such stars where you can directly realize your desires and ideals.

If you dream of burning ruins, you will choose a conquering star; if you just want quiet rest, you may dream of a wailing star.

[But why are you dreaming of a cold void? No matter how lonely a person may die, he wants to leave a trace in the world.]

Hyunmoo tilted his head at this part.

How does a broken star know what a person in despair is dreaming of?

Hell, cold or hot, is just hell.

Even the empty void would be a cradle for some.

But the shattering star seemed to believe his words and had no doubts.[But the Whispering Star encouraged one of the humans to have such a future, and it succeeded. Is there one or two that she has brought to ruin by whispering wealth and success? But the biggest and worst of them all is that he created a star of the apocalypse by encouraging one’s despair.]

“You said you were born as a star of the apocalypse?”

[An empty human who can’t imagine any future.]

Gaul whispered.

[The result is this world, Difficulty: Hell. It is the star of the end.]

“out of it.”

Someone said something to refute Ghaul’s declaration.

It wasn’t Hyunmoo.

Hyunmoo turned his head at the familiar voice. He opened the door to the shelter, and someone who couldn’t be in this place, who shouldn’t have been, was sticking his face out.

“Broken star, you bastard. You’re wrong from one to ten.”

Yumin’s red eyes lit up and glared at Gawl.

***

Gawl was the first to respond with a convulsive response when he saw Yu-min’s appearance.

[dare.]

Ghaul’s entire body stood up sharply at once like a hedgehog.

The moment he swung his arm, sharp metal thorns soared all at once from Yumin’s position to Gowl’s.

It felt like my arms were getting longer and longer.

Qajajajajajab.

The moment he wondered if Yu-min’s body would be egged on by sharp pieces of metal, Ha-hyeon quickly pulled Yu-min’s body.

The thorn barrier passed the refugees and directly hit the golems behind them, splitting them in half. Just as Gawl was about to move again, Hyunmoo swung his fist.

Bang, Ghaul’s face, which had been beaten by the hand encroached upon by the Redeemer’s beast, was scattered and distorted in fragments.

But soon after, he grabbed Hyunmoo’s arm as if swallowing it, and stood up and attacked him. Hyunmoo pulled his hand out roughly and stepped back behind him.

“I said let’s talk. Gaul. Don’t worry about anything else, focus on this one.”

[…] … .]

However, Ghaul did not take his eyes off Yu-min. Yu-min staggered as if it was difficult for him to move his body, but he pushed his face up the hill.

“Thank you, Hyunmoo. I…”

“Shut up!”

Hyunmoo pointed his finger at Yu-min, or even Montstril, who had an image of her, and shot him.

“I never allowed you to look like that. I know what you were trying to do, but you’re quietly turning off in the form of Sang-hyeon.

“……”

Montstril received Hyunmoo’s cool gaze and gradually changed his appearance back to Sanghyeon’s.

As long as her appearance, made of tiny spiders, is not bound by form, she could change it as much as she wanted.

“And Gaul, no matter whether you here are agents or apostles, if you tell a lie, I will destroy the whole world and make the world invisible.”

Gawl could have laughed at Hyunmoo’s remarks. But he did not respond and chose to simply remain silent.

After making the two stars shut down, Hyunmoo opened his mouth.

“Gaul, if you hate Montstril so much, then why are you in this uproar now? It seems like time was running out even before you got involved with me. What were you doing then?”

[Killed.]

Gaul replied gloomy.

[I was the one who killed the agent of the whispering star. No, I thought I killed him.]

“I heard you, Hyunmoo!”

Montstrill gritted his teeth and shouted.

“He killed your lover! It wasn’t me who created the Star of the End! That one! The breaking star killed Yu-Min, so you were reborn as the Star of the End! And you continue to sin because of your hatred of me. You want to turn it over!”

For a moment, Ghaul’s body rattled. Ghaul whispered, shaking the pieces as if he had heard something wrong.

[Yoo-min had no choice but to die! Everything was inevitable!]

“Accept my, whispering star power, Hyunmoo! With the power you have right now, you can become my agent! Together, you and I can crush the conspiracy of the shattering star and disinfect these gloomy bastards!”

[Hell, that guy wouldn’t pick any stars! Among them, especially you!]

“Get your lover’s revenge! Destroy the one who fucked your world!”

In the midst of the loud shouting, Hyunmoo let out a long sigh.

For the stars, it could be a situation that hurts their self-esteem.

However, even if it is a star, it is the agents who were once human beings who are finally stepping into this world.

The moment their personal relationships crossed, even the stars had no choice but to be brought down to human positions.

Even if you eat elegantly when you eat, you have to sit down on the toilet when you poop.

Bringing stars down to the ground had always been Hyunmoo’s dream, but it wasn’t as enjoyable as he had hoped.

It was just unpleasant.

Hyunmoo looked at Gaul, then slowly turned around and began to approach Montstril.

Gaul raised his thorns sharply, and Montstril smiled with joy.

“Hyunmoo.”

She reached out and touched Hyunmoo’s cheek.

“I thought you would come back. My lover, my lover, a piece that is always empty in my heart.”

While whispering like that, Monttrill slowly changed his form back to that of Yumin.

Hyunmoo wiped Montstrille’s cheek. As Montstrille was about to wrap his hand around Hyunmoo’s, Hyunmoo’s hand grabbed her neck.

Montstril’s eyes widened, and Ha-hyun ran to him in bewilderment. Hyunmoo immediately injected Ha-hyun with a coercive will to stop him.

Ha-hyeon couldn’t help but watch as Hyunmoo’s hand squeezed Sang-hyeon’s neck.

“Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.”

Hyunmoo’s hands were clenched tightly around his neck. The pressure was enough to cause the neck to fall off for a normal person. However, Sang-hyeon and Ha-hyeon do not die from strangulation.

You just lose your self.

To prevent that, he had no choice but to forcefully endure the pain and maintain the shape.

“This deception is so boring that I can’t stand it any longer.”

Hyunmoo looked into Montstrille’s eyes and whispered.

“The story just can’t go on, so I’ll have to speak more frankly. Montstril, no.”

A strong pressure entered Hyunmoo’s hand.

Kwajik.

The sound of something tearing rang out.

It wasn’t the sound of Sanghyun’s throat being ripped apart. Through her back, someone appeared as if stripped of her skin.

The whole body was a naked human being. There was no gender-specific figure anywhere on his body, but his appearance was familiar to Hyunmoo’s eyes.

“Lee Seo-yeon.”

Hyunmoo muttered, raising the corners of his lips.

“Yeah. I’ll be honest now.”***

“… since when did you know?”

Montstrille has been preparing carefully for a long time to seduce Hyunmoo.

To be precise, it was from the day she first seduced Hyunmoo, when she replied, ‘I have a girlfriend.’

As Monstrill appealed to him that he was the most important person to Hyunmoo, he was constantly talking and spying on his thoughts.

However, the only information he could know was fragmentary information such as glasses and clothes.

For such information, he divulged clues to Hyunmoo, and has deliberately maintained secrecy. In fact, they were actions to extract information from Hyunmoo.

“It’s been a while. I’ve been narrowing down the candidates, but I thought it was just one of them. I became convinced that you were Lee Seo-yeon the very day I met you. It was because you claimed to be Yu-min.”

Seo-yeon Lee had a look on her face that she did not understand.

“Why?”

“You made a mistake on a very basic level.”

“A mistake?”

“Yoo-min doesn’t even fall into such a stupid situation that he asks me for help from the beginning.”

Lee Seo-yeon bit her mouth.

She had a look that made sense.

Of course, Hyunmoo’s words were pretentious.

Hyunmoo already saw Lee Seo-yeon’s right arm eroded by the Redeemer’s Yayul on Difficulty: Normal.

Because it was still a low-level item, the name was different, but Hyunmoo has already seen that the name of the item changes as the level goes up.

It was the ‘redeemer yul’ that Hyunmoo had already received as a gift from the Whispering Star.

Therefore, in Hyunmoo’s mind, Seo-yeon Lee was already at the top of the list of suspected agents of Montstril.

“Does the reason matter? On a subject that has already been discovered.”

Seo-yeon’s eyes fluttered sharply. And soon, her look of despair spreads out.

She and Monstrill dumped all her wealth to seduce Hyunmoo.

It was for this reason that the Sanghyeon and Hahyeon sisters were brought into contact.

It was also confirmed at this time that Hyunmoo was weaker in recognition than he looked.

It was also her intention to have Sang-hyeon kill Hyunmoo with her hands. And when Sang-hyeon was conceived and grown in Ha-hyeon’s body, Ha-hyeon stole the information she saw in the Difficulty: Normal world.

That’s how she found out the name of Hyunmoo’s lover, ‘Yoo-min’.

However, he did not know how much Hyunmoo and Yu-min trusted each other.

“It’s ridiculous. But you…”

“In this world you’ve seen, I must have been a loser out of incompetence and inferiority complex.”

Hyunmoo answered quietly.

“I know Yu-min. There’s no way I can fall for the stars that Yu-min whispers, and I’m not foolish enough to be attracted to such a loser. Perhaps I had nothing to do with Yu-min in this world.”

At that moment, Seo-yeon’s eyes lit up. She shouted with an angry groan.

“No, you motherfucker!”

“Isn’t that what?”

” Kang Hyunmoo wasn’t an incompetent loser! That was my only success!”

Hyunmoo wondered what Seoyeon Lee was talking about. She then thought of yet another possibility she had never thought of.

“What is it, you?”

Hyunmoo’s mouth opened slowly.

“Did Kang Hyunmoo in this world have a relationship with you?”
