Episode 280.
The townspeople gathered together in a dense crowd.
“Are you leaving already, Buddha?”
When the news of Siwoo’s departure came, all the villagers came out.
“Please stay a little longer and then leave… .”
“I couldn’t even repay your kindness, and you’re already leaving… .”
Everyone expressed their regret.
But he didn’t hold on to Siwoo or hang on to him.
“You said you would stand up for others besides us… .”
“I guess we can’t… catch it.”
I could only swallow my regrets in an unavoidable situation.
Siwoo also felt regretful, but as the saying goes, their separation was inevitable.
Siwoo reminisced about what he had seen on YouTube.
『
A combined content of Confucius and Shakyamuni.
It was an aggressive title that was not befitting of Confucius.
But aside from that, the content of the video is really fucking boring… .
No, it was a very enlightening piece of content.
“As the Buddha said, things that are connected by fate are bound to break apart. Even things that are gathered through grace and love are bound to disperse one day.”
Those who gather will eventually part.
If there is a meeting, there is bound to be a parting.
There is nothing eternal in this world.
Beautiful things are destined to scatter and disappear one day.
Even a solid rock has the fate of breaking down and turning into a handful of dirt over time.
“However, as time goes by, the broken soil hardens and turns into stone and rock. All things in the universe die, but they are connected by invisible strings. In the end, isn’t it the case that they come back together again through fate?”
Those who leave will surely return.
When there is a separation, there is also a meeting.
Just as there is no eternal meeting in this world.
There is no eternal separation in this world.
The fallen leaves in autumn return to the ground and become fertilizer, and come the following spring they return as even greener leaves.
This is the cycle of nature and the providence of the universe.
“Today’s parting is a promise for a future meeting.”
Siwoo bowed his head and clasped his hands together in prayer.
“… … !”
“… … !”
Then all the villagers opened their eyes wide in surprise.
I was astonished at the enlightenment that was like that of Sakyamuni.
It wasn’t something like Sakyamuni.
It was the real enlightenment of Sakyamuni.
Confucius’ new content called the Craftsman Invitation Seat.
Because in that video, it was the enlightenment that the number one ranked Nirvana craftsman, Sakyamuni, gave.
And Myanmar is a country where 88% of the population is Buddhist.
Here, too, all the villagers were Buddhists.
Is that why?
“Was I really the Buddha…?”
“It really was the Buddha who was looking down on our village…!”
Tiring!
The rate of obtaining divinity suddenly increased.
That’s also a considerable number, 2.3%.
… Well, anyway.
“Someday, when everything is settled, please come visit our village again.”
“Buddha! You must come back! Got it! You must!”
The townspeople saw Siwoo off with bright smiles.
Until just now, there was no sign of regret or sadness.
A collection of manuscripts and manuscripts.
(Those who meet are destined to part, and those who leave are destined to retaliate)
The enlightenment of Shakyamuni.
So, everyone seemed to have peace of mind after hearing Siwoo’s words.
Is that why?
“Then everyone stay healthy!”
Siwoo was also able to leave the village with a sense of relief.
After exchanging greetings with the townspeople.
“Where should I go now?”
Si-woo returned to where the group was and asked Kwon Pil-sang.
“For now, I’ve decided on the final destination as the Orichalcon burial site. I’ve planned out a route that will stop by the cities along the way to the burial site.”
Siwoo nodded slightly at Kwon Pil-sang’s answer.
It was true that the epidemic spreading in Myanmar needed to be treated.
However, that does not mean that he could wander around the entire territory of Myanmar.
The top priority is to resolve the current situation in Myanmar.
To do that, I needed to meet with Dow Shin Sayama.
“So, the next city we will visit is Yangon.”
“Yangon….”
It was the first time I heard the name of a city.
“It is widely known as the largest city in Myanmar.”
The following is an explanation of the two powers.
“okay.”
Siwoo nodded.
Being the largest city, it is likely that many people would suffer from the plague.
In many ways, it was a suitable next destination.
“Let’s go right away.”
Siwoo started walking straight away.
At that very moment.
I felt a strange gaze from one corner.
When he looked up, wondering what was going on, Selina was staring at Siwoo.
Then, when my eyes met with Siwoo’s, I flinched!
He looked startled and avoided eye contact.
And then there was Selina, who tried hard to pretend it didn’t happen.
‘Here he goes again.’
It was quite annoying that he kept glancing at me.
And look.
‘It looks like you plan on continuing to follow me.’
Honestly, there was no reason for Siwoo to take her with him.
But now it’s a bit odd to just leave it alone.
Above all, Hua Tuo’s meaningful words that he does not seem human.
‘I’m sure you’ll follow along.’
Siwoo tried hard not to notice and walked away.
* * *
Yangon, Myanmar’s largest city.
It was the capital of Myanmar during the British colonial period.
However, after independence, in an effort to liquidate the colonial past, the capital was moved to Naypyidaw.
Yangon is now the largest city, not the capital.
Because of this, Yangon had a considerable number of British buildings.
There were many British structures that survived even after being destroyed during the Great Invasion of the Demon World.
So the entire city had a strong Western feel.
The many modern buildings gave off the appearance of Myanmar’s largest city.
And this is the best and largest Yangon hospital in Myanmar, located in Yangon.
“Hospital Director, we no longer have wards to admit patients.”
Yangon hospitals were overflowing with patients.
“We have renovated the staff room and operating room, but now it has reached its limit. We can’t do this anymore…”
The director of Yangon Hospital chewed his lips as he listened to the doctor’s subsequent words.
Because I knew the current situation better than anyone else.
A plague sweeping through Myanmar.
An unknown plague was spreading, infecting tens of thousands of people every day.
Because of this, the hospital was beyond saturated and on the verge of exploding.
They were trying their best to cure the plague somehow.
But there was no progress.
Even with modern medical knowledge, it was impossible to identify the true nature of the plague.
Only the cause of the outbreak could be identified.
The demons pouring into Myanmar.
The plague was caused by demons.
At first, I was able to somehow stop it.
Because Myanmar’s hunters and hunter police came out and stopped the monsters.
But not anymore.
All the hunters and hunter police officers who were fighting the monsters were infected and fell ill.
“The government. The government has not yet─.”
“There has been no contact. It seems that we cannot expect any help from the government.”
The hospital director lowered his head without realizing it.
The government has been unable to take any action on the current situation in Myanmar.
Perhaps even the government itself had long ago been paralyzed by the plague.
A state of national paralysis.
Myanmar is currently in a state of little more than anarchy.
“Is Lord Sayama still missing?”
In the past, 13 heroes beheaded the Demon King.
If even Dow Shin Sayama had been there, things wouldn’t have gotten to this point.
“That’s right.”
But for some reason her whereabouts were unknown.
“It’s time for you to make a decision, Doctor.”
“… … .”
“If we continue like this, we will all die.”
know.
That the limit has long been exceeded and now it is only left to collapse.
That’s why I had to cut it out.
Just as you have to cut out rotten flesh to survive.
We had to weed out hopeless patients.
“Not everyone can survive in this situation.”
No one knew this fact better than he did.
I know… .
“… … .”
I couldn’t bring myself to say that.
My conscience and beliefs as a doctor did not allow it.
The reason I became a doctor was to save people.
Staying up all night, pouring coffee.
The reason I studied so hard was to save people.
So now I have permission to practice medicine.
I solemnly swear to dedicate my life to the service of humanity.
I pledged to prioritize the health and lives of patients while maintaining my conscience and dignity.
I swore with all my heart that I would infinitely respect human life from the moment of its conception.
I pledged that I would never use my medical skills in a way that goes against humanity, no matter what the circumstances.
I promised myself that again and again.
I must confess that my path to becoming the hospital director was not entirely clean.
It could not be denied that he had risen to this position by carrying out the ugly act of political manipulation.
But the heart that wants to save people.
I could say that I had not lost that heart.
But now.
“… … .”
I felt like I had to break that mindset.
I felt like I had to abandon the beliefs I had held onto my entire life.
“The awakened ones… must survive.”
The hospital director had no choice but to open his mouth.
“So, the oldest and weakest patients are the first to be sacrificed… .”
The hospital director unconsciously kept his mouth shut.
I hated myself for having to say such things.
It’s always been like this, always.
This fucking reality has always been like this.
Those without money and power were the first to be sacrificed.
I know there’s nothing I can do.
As the saying goes, the Awakened and the Hunters had to be saved.
That way, I could prepare for the future.
You must leave some strength left to deal with the monsters.
Because there was no country to help Myanmar.
Even the UN turned its back.
There is nowhere to turn to for help for Myanmar.
So if someone has to be sacrificed, it’s the weakest.
The weak and powerless had to be sacrificed first.
“… … .”
It would be a reality worse than a plague.
It will be a hell worse than a plague.
There are no miracles in reality.
For them, for us, miracles do not exist.
Hope…does not exist.
I will just choose the lesser of two evils.
In that terrible situation, all we can do is believe in hope and live on, struggling and forcing ourselves to survive.
However, that is just the reality.
“… … .”
The hospital director hung his head without finishing his speech.
And that was when it happened.
Bam!
“Hospital Director! Hospital Director!!”
Someone hurriedly came inside, roughly throwing open the makeshift tent.
A doctor in a yellow gown.
The doctor was wearing a gown that was originally white, but was now a faded color.
“G, now, urgently…! I think you should go out!”
The doctor spoke breathlessly.
But you want me to go out and try it?
And where are you telling me to go?
“Hey, they say a cure for the plague has appeared!”
“what?!”
Bam!
The hospital director got up from his seat without realizing it.
His wide-open eyes revealed a clear expression of shock.
That’s understandable, since he is the one who cures plagues.
“Right now…! He’s treating patients at the hospital… I think you should go out and see for yourself!”
The hospital director immediately left his seat and ran out.
The scenery outside like that.
“Ahhh…!”
“Ugh!”
The first thing I saw and heard was a distorted groan of pain.
It was a sight of countless patients lying in bed, suffering and filled with a stench.
If there is hell, it would be like this.
If someone asked what the hell was like, the hospital director could say it was this place.
That’s why.
“iced coffee…!”
That’s why you can tell right away who can cure the plague.
Of course, there was no reason to be looking at a scene from hell with such joy on his face.
Besides, I couldn’t show my face here with confidence.
“All, run…!”
Furthermore, there was no reason for my body to flutter or tremble!
“what…?”
I wondered what on earth the hospital director was doing.
I wondered what on earth was going on.
Right then.
“next!”
A man with a fierce aura shouted loudly.
That was definitely not Burmese.
But for some reason, the hospital director could understand what he was saying.
next.
But what’s next?
Before the hospital director could even swallow his questions.
From somewhere, a rough-looking man with a bald head and a rather handsome man brought a stretcher.
A patient with the plague was placed in front of a man with a sinister look.
Soon, a man with a fierce air gently placed his hand on the patient’s face.
“What, what is that!”
“Stop it now!”
The doctors around him were terrified and shouted.
Because it was just crazy to touch a patient’s face with your bare hands.
But the man with the fierce aura pretended not to hear.
And then, with a fierce aura, the man’s hand!
The patient’s pus began to drain away.
and.
“Ahhh…!!”
The man with the fierce aura trembled.
It wasn’t a gesture based on any pain or suffering.
Joy or rapture.
It was a trembling based on the emotion of joy.
therefore….
“I feel like my teeth are going to rot…!”
It was an expression that felt the sweetness of the world.
But does that make sense?
Of course, it was nonsense.
But an even more absurd sight was unfolding.
Crisp, crunchy.
The patients’ faces looked much more relaxed.
No more groans of pain were heard.
Until just now, these were the patients who were coming in today or tomorrow.
But now, all that could be heard was the quiet sound of breathing, as if sleeping.
The plague… must have been cured.
It must have been a truly absurd situation.
“… … .”
“… … .”
“… … .”
Well, I guess I have nothing to say.
* * *
Tiring! Tiring! Tiring!
The notification sound of GodTube rang loudly in my ears.
At the same time, notification windows keep popping up on the retina.
I really wondered if it was right to say something like that.
“The skill is crazy!”
There has never been anything this sweet.
