"we had the winner"
The auctionist said in cheerful voice, she make a cute gestures that cause uproar, it's because the auctionist is really cute and beautiful, she is even wearing a cute rabbit outfit which give him plus point when it comes on cuteness.
Kai look again at the map for the last time, suddenly a extremeely strange phenomena happened again, the time in the whole place become extremely slower to the point that everyone isn't moving at all. Kai trembled as he remember his theory about the strange phenomena.
'the strange phenomena happened again?! Wait if am i right, the only time when the strange phenomena was activating, that is the time when I am in danger'
Kai quikly regained his compusure and start to scanned everything in the room but he cannot find any strange/danger or anything related that would cause of his life also there is Marie's divine sense who was surrounding the whole place and continuesly protecting me so it's impossible to put me in danger, exterior or interior.
For a moments, there is an impossible and wild guess Kai have, but it's extremely impossible after all, it's not like the map is same as the bracelet before which contain an extremely terrifying creatures or an object contaminated with corruption.
But just a piece of map who will lead into a treasure or perhaps it's just guide in some ancient place so it's impossible.
Suddenly Kai remember something, in this world 'knowledge is power' at the same time 'knowledge is the most dangerous' so perhaps did I just interpret something forbidden in the map? Kai slowly turned his gaze back at the map, he look closely on it.
In the map, if I were to describe it, it's extremely detailed, there is a piece of black land/ground at the right sides of map and then the rest is a sea, in the sea there are countless monster some of them look like the monster in his previous life like an extremely big octopus, a huge and long fish like snake with 3 heads and at the middle of head there is a light bulb so I decide to called it as three headed fish.
It is located near the black land while the extremely big octupus or we could even called that thing as kraken is located in the parallel side of three headed fish and in the middle of them is Whirlpool, the whirlpool is rotating in left to right, from west to north,north to east,east to south, south to west. If you think about it or imagine the whirlpool, your probably thinking it's just normal.
Yes, in our perspective the whirlpool is 'normal' but it's different for Kai, Kai was the Heir of mysteries so any mystery, just by seeing it for the first time, he could instantly interpret/understand/comprehend the meaning behind it.
Kai doesn't realize that the Symbolism of interpretation activate on its own so even though Kai haven't gotten the information or realized the meaning behind the map.
The dangerous knowledge he learn no, it's not like he learn about it rather, he saw the meaning in the piece of map directly with his naked eyes.
'heh,that's right, that is the only answer, I'm in danger because of the map even though I just glance at it for the last time '
Kai doesn't know how to saves himself now, it's clearly the one who's going to put him in dange ris the corrupted knowledge he just learn at the same time haven't learned at all.
Even if he wracked his brain and burn every cells of his brain, he still cannot find a solution or anything to protect himself, the only solution he can think of is 'erasing the knowledge into memory'
However what will he even erased if he himself haven't learned what is the knowledge he just learn? Like is erasing the image of the map in his memory? Can stop the corrupted knowledge? Kai think it's not that simple.
Even his intuition is telling him that even if he erased the memories of what happened few minutes ago, it will not get rid of the knowledge corruption.
When Kai realize it, a faint and painful expression appeared in his face, he bites his lips .
'Damn aghhhhkk'
He scream extremely loud, because of pain, it's not like his body or internal or external body parts was the one at pain instead, it's his soul and spirit which is fhe one who's suffering.
Worsed of all, the time is extremely slow in his perspective like it's not even running, if we say the time in Kai perspective is about 10 slower than the time outside.
1 seconds in outside is equal to =10 seconds in Kai perspective.
The 10 seconds is just short time for others but when it comes on knowledge corruption, even 3 seconds is enough for someone to make him drive crazy.
The knowledge corruption and Ravings is different.
Ravings is came from someone, it doesn't give someone an information rather it's just normal voice of someone that had a higher existence than yourself, so to put in simply, the ravings is cause by 'someone'.
While the knowledge corruption is something that wasn't cause by someone instead it's a natural corruption, if your existence isn't high enough to learn that knowledge or your existence isn't qualified enough to learn that knowledge, the knowledge you learn itself will kill you or make you insane.
For a while 10 seconds, Kai endured the most painful thing he had ever felt in his whole life, his soul had torn apart, while his spirit is completely destroyed.
And in that very moments when the 1 seconds had passed, the head maid Marie feels a strange sensation in her divine sense and in an instant, she vanished into air , directly teleporting on Kai who's now laying on the sofa while breathing and sweating heavily, his skin and handsome face become paled white.
He look like someone who's in extreme pain, Marie quikly touch his young masters fore head, she quikly felt the chaos that was happening inside of kai, his spirit,soul,mind, consciousness, and will is trying to supressed something or rather, trying to supressed himself.
'this is? Knowledge corruption right?'
Then Marie's eyes from being extremely black it become even more darker like abyss who can swallow every light in existence. She spread her divine sense even more, not just in their room but in every single sides and corner of the whole auction place.
a lot of person feels the powerful divine sense that scanning every corner and sides of the place, however, it's extremely difficult to even felt or detect the divine sense so it means that 'a lot of person ' is all of the most powerful being in the auction.
And no one of them tried to stop the divine sense who's running around , rather they just protect themselves with their owned divine sense and become even more cautions. After all, the area covered with his divine sense is extremely wide, enough to covered the entire auction place.
As for others, they cannot feels the divine sense, after all, it's extremely hidden.
While searching on the person who make the young master like this, she also slowly inject her divine sense and will in my mind, trying to calm the chaos happening on it.
When she completely inject her divine sense and will in my mind She gently dispell the terrifying knowledge corruption in Kai mind and spirit, and little by little his face is slowly turning back to normal.
And just few seconds Kai slowly get up from laying on the couch but still his face is quite paled, sign of someone who just experience painful thing. He look at her maid and smiled.
"Thank you Marie, if not for you, I would definitely would die there haha"
Kai laught half dry his whole body is still covered with sweat, suddenly he feels extreme pain in every parts of his body but it's not his physical body forms that was hurting instead it's the spirit and soul of him.
Kai quikly tried to check his soul or spiril
But strangely enough, his soul and spirit is completely fined but what is the painful thing he's still feeling right now? Where is that pain came from? Hold on, Kai slowly look in Marie.
' the knowledge corruption wouldn't kill somebody to be honest' it's the realization he made when he himself was under it's influence, it didn't kill Kai rather, it tried to turn Kai into lunatic,madman, Crazy,etc and it even tried absorbing every single sane part of mental and emotional.
Luckily enough, Kai was able to used symbolism even if he's under the knowledge corruption, so to endured the 10 seconds painful than death itself experience he used the Symbolism of Deceive and Convince.
He Deceive himself, letting himself thinking that the pain is just an illusion (but it didn't really removed the pain after all it's just Deception guiding his way of thinking and also his Deception isn't omnipotent which is because his existence is extremely low) while Convincing himself that he will lost a certain important things, an extremely important things, something that he really love if he let himself lost in the pain.
To be honest, Kai is someone who value everysingle important things he have, but not to the point of obsession it's just Kai really lacked the so called 'Love' after all, he's an orphan and in the orphanage, no one really cared about him so when he Love something even if it meant to kill someone just to protect it, he would but not to the point of stupidly.
Marie asked him anxiously, with a little bit of relief expression.
"Y-y-young master, are you Alright?"
Kai shifted his gazes from himself into Marie, he gave Kai a small nod indicating that he's fine, at the very least he didn't lost his sanity, which is the best outcome he could ever though.
