“Where is Talented Kang Seung-geon?”
“It seems to have disappeared. He probably used items to get out.”
Really. If so, it would be difficult for the managent headquarters to find him.
“Did he go to Arica?”
“Well. The probability is high, but there’s a good chance it’s not.”
I rembered the last ti I saw Kang Seung-geon. They destroyed the guild managent headquarters and he was taken into Samael’s hands.
‘At that ti, I wondered why he would take Kang Seung-geon.’
In the end, what the Praus Cult aid at was both the managent headquarters and Kang Seung-geon.
“Even if he can’t use his ability, he has an S-class body, so there are many places to use it.”
That was what Elohim’s words ant. If it was fused with a monster strong enough to kill people, it might be impossible to remove it like Choi Ga-young, even if he was saved later.
“If there was another case like Rep. Kang Cheol-woo, things would be complicated. We have to go to Arica now.”
“There’s nothing we can do. I have no choice but to leave this task to Center Head Choi Mi-jin and Master Lee Joo-ha and co back as soon as possible.”
If we divided the number of people and left them in Korea, it would only make the situation more ambiguous for both sides.
‘But leaving only one or two people is more insecure.’
I thought that there were a lot of people involved, but at tis like this, I felt it wasn’t enough. I looked at him with a complicated mind.
The rooftop railing on which I sat was quite high, so I had a perfect view of Cheon Sa-yeon. The yellow light illuminating the entire garden lit up Cheon Sa-yeon’s face.
“So what?”
“……?”
“Is that all that makes you in a bad mood?”
Cheon Sa-yeon, who quietly accepted my gaze without avoiding them, tilted his head slightly.
“You asked if I was okay before… why do you think I’m in a bad mood?”
“Is there anything to think about? It just looks like that.”
I gestured to the jacket pocket that contained the pack of cigarettes.
“You even brought cigarettes and leave.”
“It ans nothing. I used to smoke.”
“I know. Because I saw it.”
I didn’t even see it burn tho.
I rembered my first eting with Cheon Sa-yeon. He gave orders at will and pulled out a cigarette while in his bathrobe. Now that I thought about it, I could understand why he treated Han Yi-gyeol with such an attitude.
‘At the ti, I never imagined that we would end up like this.’
As if thinking of the sa thing as , Cheon Sa-yeon gently raised the corners of his lips and smiled.
“You seem to still rember that day.”
“Of course, I rember. That’s the first…”
The first day I was here.
I was about to say it without thinking, but suddenly I ca to my senses.
‘Oh, my.’
Cheon Sa-yeon knew that I wasn’t the real Han Yi-gyeol, so I was relieved without realizing it. I almost made a mistake.
“…ahem, it’s not a big deal anyway?”
When I spoke sowhat unnaturally, Cheon Sa-yeon answered with an understandable expression.
“Yeah.”
He looked bad even during the eting. As I was contemplating whether I should ask about that part, Cheon Sa-yeon opened his mouth first.
“It’s strange today. You ask the sa question over and over again.”
“Well… things like that happen, too.”
“Were you worried?”
The question was thrown lightly like a joke. After looking at Cheon Sa-yeon’s smiling face for a while, I answered calmly.
“Yeah.”
To be honest, I was worried that sothing was wrong… I was worried because it was true.
“How can you not care when it’s so obvious like that?”
“……”
“You’ve been sensitive since the drug incident.”
Unpredictable events were a major source of anxiety for Cheon Sa-yeon, who lived in a repeating ti.
‘It might be the last ti, so he will be even more nervous.’
It was fortunate that the drug case was resolved, but the murder of Rep. Kang Cheol-woo would inevitably be annoying. It wasn’t a problem that could be fixed right away.
“Are you okay?”
“……”
When I asked one last ti, Cheon Sa-yeon, who was standing still, smiled bitterly and slowly lowered his head. Then he buried his face in my shoulder and wrapped his arms around my waist.
“…Cheon Sa-yeon.”
Having been embraced without a mont of refusal, I sighed and embraced Cheon Sa-yeon. The bitter and cold scent was faintly felt.
Cheon Sa-yeon, standing under the night sky, looked particularly lonely. He had a sad feeling in his gestures that ca to and I couldn’t push him at all.
‘No matter how hard it was, he never expressed it… This ti, he must have been under a lot of stress.’
Instead of giving him a little consolation, I lightly patted him on the back. It was a clumsy gesture, but Cheon Sa-yeon calmly accepted it.
* * *
The scent of flowers ca from sowhere. I opened my closed eyes and stared blankly at the field of flowers that spread out in front of .
‘Here is…?’
It was definitely the first place I ca to, but I was strangely used to it. How did I happen to co here? I was scratching my head because I couldn’t get a clue about the situation before and after, but I heard a voice calling from behind.
“Se-hyun-ah.”
A soft voice full of kindness. When I turned my head, there was a welco person standing over the flowers rustling in the wind.
“El!”
“It’s been a long ti.”
Elohim approached and gently touched my cheek with his big hand. It was then that I realized that this was a dream.
‘After eting Cheon Sa-yeon and returning to the room… I was tired after playing with Kim Woo-jin, so I went to bed early.’
Did Elohim co to through a dream? Then, like the last ti, this place must have been created through a dream.
Elohim, who had been waiting for to organize my thoughts, spoke.
“I’m sorry for coming to et you so suddenly.”
“No, don’t mind.”
“If you leave for Arica, you will be busy, so this ti seed the best.”
Realizing that he had co to tell sothing, I asked with concern.
“Did sothing happen?”
“There’s nothing happened.”
“Yes?”
“You have worked hard, Se-hyun-ah.”
Worked hard? What did I work hard from? As I was bewildered, Elohim let out a rare sigh.
“I’m talking about drugs.”
“Aa.”
Yeah. That happened. Maybe it was in a dream, my head wasn’t working well. I answered, rubbing the nape of my neck.
“It’s okay. I’m fine now.”
“I’m glad to hear that. I’ve seen you make an antidote.”
It seed like he was watching from start to finish.
“Did you see Rep. Kang Cheol-woo murdered?”
“Yeah. Cheon Sa-yeon, I saw it through that child.”
“I heard that Kang Seung-geon’s fingerprints ca out… is it difficult to tell what happened before Rep. Kang Cheol-woo died?”
Elohim shook his head and explained.
“It’s impossible to see the past of the deceased without leaving a record.”
“Is that so. That’s too bad.”
“A human nad Kang Seung-geon hasn’t shown up properly since he was taken away by Cult… It seems that he has a good connection with them.”
“Then it’s highly likely that Kang Seung-geon was the murderer of Rep. Kang Cheol-woo.”
There shouldn’t be any other victims while we were in Arica. I couldn’t even predict where he went through the item… The situation was very frustrating.
“Don’t be too fussy. It doesn’t look like we need to worry too much about the death of a human nad Kang Cheol-woo.”
“Pardon?”
“He didn’t kill him because he had a plan, but it looks like he was venting his anger. Of course, it’s not certain.”
Anger? Were you saying that it had nothing to do with the Praus Cult?
Elohim, who could read my thoughts without having to ask, nodded his head.
“From what I’ve looked at before, Kang Seung-geon and Kang Cheol-woo didn’t have a very good relationship.”
“Are you saying that he killed Rep. Kang Cheol-woo without being controlled by the ntal ability person?”
“There’s a possibility. The traces left on the body of a dead human were rough and clean.”
Rough and clean… In my confusion, Elohim continued to explain.
“Se-hyun-ah, I know that a human nad Kang Seung-geon kidnapped you.”
“That’s right.”
“Think about what it was like back then.”
Those words reminded of the Gangnam incident. Kang Seung-geon, who kidnapped , looked very anxious and couldn’t even properly control his emotions, so he would pour out the anger that accompanied violence at . Abel called the condition a “side effect”.
“If Kang Seung-geon had been under the ntal control ability, the traces left on the body would have been even ssier. So I judged that there was so reason.”
If he killed him because he wanted to, it seed that the relationship between the two of them was really bad, as Elohim said.
‘Indeed, even if it’s a parent and a child, it can’t always be good.’
If Kang Seung-geon was rational without being attacked by Samael’s ability… I didn’t know if I should consider this a better situation. It might be more dangerous than that.
“Oh my, you’re worrying too much again.”
Elohim gently rubbed my forehead with his fingertips. I guess I was frowning without realizing it.
“You can’t save everyone. I understand your heart, but… I think it would be better to leave the uncertainties aside and go to Arica, where the clues are accurate.”
“…is that so? All right.”
“Actually, I don’t want to send you to Arica, but… I can’t help it.”
Elohim made a complicated expression after confirming that my forehead was straightened.
“There’s a very bad vibe in Arica. I’m sure the people involved are doing sothing there.”
“Then we should go further. Whatever they do, we will stop them.”
“……”
If you pretend not to know, it may beco irreversible later. Elohim also gave good information, so the only thing left to do now was to go to Arica as soon as possible and check it out for yourself.
Elohim, who looked down at without saying a word, gently grabbed my wrist. Unlike Cheon Sa-yeon, the scent of lilies wafted out of his arms.
“Please take care of yourself, Se-hyun-ah.”
I was a little embarrassed by the words I had already heard over and over again. Once again, I thought I had worried many people.
“Yes. I will pay more attention.”
“Elahah was also very worried.”
“Elahah?”
That harsh person worried about ? When I asked the question in surprise, Elohim let out a small laugh as if he understood.
“Sure, of course. It was because Elahah was always watching on behalf of , who was busy organizing Cheon Sa-yeon’s past. He sighed so much when you were sick with drugs.”
“Haha…”
For so reason, I didn’t think he was worried, but he thought I was pathetic. Anyway, it wasn’t a bad feeling.
“Thank you.”
“I’ll keep watching on you.”
I rested my head comfortably on Elohim’s shoulder, closed my eyes, and a pure white light gradually spread from the other side, and everything began to fade. The dream was coming to an end.
“Goodbye, Se-hyun-ah. See you again.”
With the last greeting, everything was covered in white light. Feeling that, I thought about sothing later.
‘I forgot to ask if I could give dessert to Fox…’
