ACT ONE  ━━━  CHAPTER NINE,
❝ whatever you say ❞

          𝓐fter the match, all players advanced back into the yellow transportation box. One of the men, player 244, was currently kneeling on the ground and praying to God.

"Oh, Lord, protect me."

"Hey, dude," 240 called. "Who do you think you're praying to, huh? To God?"

He ignored the young girl and continued mumbling a prayer.

"You think you made it out of there because of God, don't you?" She sighed and leaned down, "The reason you're still breathing and thanking that nice God of yours . . . is that old man there. And that guy, and partly that girl, over there who came up with that awesome last-minute trick."

The man, like before, ignored her and continued praying to God.

"You know if there's anybody that you should be thanking . . . it's them, not God."

At her statement, 244 lifted his head and finally stopped praying in the meantime. "You sad lost soul. What would you say about everybody who was nailed to the cross for our salvation today? They sacrificed themselves for us. We are here, thanks to their blood. I pray to the Lord on behalf of all us sinners. I gave thanks for their sacrifice. God made a decision to help our team win. That's why we're all here," He sneered.

Ji-Yoo furrowed her eyebrows at the man. If he was so against sinning, and everyone knows that killing people to win is a great sin, then why did he even come back if he knew that he would be sinning like crazy?

"Bullshit."

Ji-Yoo exhaled and shared a look with Sae-byeok, who also looked unamused.

"You killed those guys out there."

244's eyes widened at her statement and he began to pray once again, which made Ji-Yoo close her eyes from irritation.

240 saw how he immediately start to pray to God and decided to make a joke out of it. "Oh! If we say some prayers, do we all go to heaven? I should pray too if that's how easy it is."

She clasped her hands and formed them into a praying position, closing her eyes and looking up. "Our God who art in Heaven, we worked as a team to send people to your side. And we sent a bunch of them today. And please help us with a whole lot more to be with you. And I hope that from now on—"

"Be quiet!" Sae-byeok cut her 'praying' short.

The girl opened her eyes and dropped her hands, tilting her head to the taller girl beside her with a bored look. "Me? Or you mean that guy?"
