Having familiarized myself with the route, escaping took just a few minutes as I effortlessly soared out of there.
The prison that once contained all her horrors gradually shrank until I found myself back in the forest, where the girls awaited patiently.
The sight of Min Hee rushing toward spoke volus about her concern for her sister.
"Sister!" Min-hee exclaid as I landed.
I gently lowered her sister's body to the ground.
"What did they do to her?" Min-hee's voice trembled as she took in the sight of her sister's broken face.
Her eyes widened in shock, and her hands instinctively covered her mouth. The pain reflected in her expression, and her body seed to tense with a mixture of sorrow and disbelief.
"It's better that you don't know," I said, exhaling a heavy sigh.
After hearing my words, Min-hee refrained from further questions and devoted herself to her sister.
"I think she needs dical attention," Rei i remarked.
Min Hee nodded, raising her palm, and a gentle golden glow emanated from her hands.
"Is this another type of ability?" I inquired, turning to Rei i.
"Yes, she can control light. By altering its composition, she can create a specific type of light that accelerates healing. It's effective for superficial wounds," she explained.
'Interesting. I wasn't able to copy all of her skills, so perhaps I need to observe it first before I can replicate,' I mused to myself, contemplating the possible reasons behind my limitations.
After 10 minutes, Min-hee's sister's complexion improved, and the wounds gradually healed. However, traces of scars remained, marking the impact of her ordeal.
I'm pretty sure that she would still be ntally broken after she wake up. The trauma of what she suffered would have cause so major issues.
I kept it to myself, but I couldn't overlook the lacerations on Min-hee's sister's private parts. It was evident she had endured hell during her ti of imprisonnt.
"I've been aning to ask, how did she end up here?" I inquired.
This was not the kind of place people typically choose for a vacation, especially those who've managed to escape it before. I'm trying to grasp the logic behind it.
Min-hee paused for a mont,maybe contemplating how to say her response.
"I don't know. She decided to co back here for sothing important, and at the sa ti, she got a job that she insisted will make her rich," she explained with uncertainty in her voice.
"What kind of job ?"
"I'm not sure ,but I heard that soone paid her to investigate sothing , I told her that it was dangerous but she did not listen , " Min-Hee started crying again .
'Wait, why do I feel that this story is familiar?'
"What's your sister's work?" I asked with a worried tone, a sense of foreboding creeping in.
"She's a private investigator," Min-hee replied.
'Fuck!' I cursed inwardly, realizing that I might be the reason she ca here in the first place.
I rembered hiring soone on the internet to go to North Korea. I covered all the travel expenses and offered a substantial amount of money, tempting whoever it was to risk their lives.
Listening to her story, it struck that this case might be connected to that particular job.
Now, I could be directly linked to the misfortune of her three family mbers.
My god, it felt like the world was conspiring against .
Maybe it's karma for the lives I took in that fire? The coincidences were piling up, and I couldn't shake the feeling of being punished.
"Who ever sent her was a fucking idiot ! How could they asked a defenseless lady to co in this place ?" Rei i's voice echoed with anger, her fists clenched in frustration.
"They should be held liable for this," she added, her eyes narrowing with a mix of disbelief and fury.
"The person who sent her here should burn in hell," Eun Ha declared, her expression reflecting disdain.
"T-That's right, they should be punished," I added, feigning agreent while internally wrestling with the possibility that I might be responsible for everything.
I quickly entered Min-hee's sister's dream world using 'Dream Manipulation' to converse with her.
There, I witnessed a woman utterly broken and consud by sorrow. Her dream relentlessly replayed the scenes of her prolonged tornt. I intervened, reshaping the dream into a more serene setting.
"Hey, are you alright?" I inquired, finding her now seated on a comfortable sofa within a spacious mansion.
The mansion's interior boasted a serene purity with its all-white décor, and the carefully chosen furniture and fixtures had a calming effect on anyone who entered.
I found this mansion online, morized the details, and recreated it in the dream world. It's just one of many places saved in my mories.
"Where am I ? " She asked.
"You're safe now. By the way , why did you co to north Korea ?"
"I --I ca here for.."
"Ca for what ?"
"I ca here to investigate a woman. I was hired by soone. I did not expect that they would be able to recognize after all these years," she replied, tears streaming down her face.
'It's confird, all of this is my fault,' I sighed, and then promptly exited the dream.
"I can erase her mory, wipe away all this trauma if you want to," I offered to Min Hee.
It seed like the best course of action for now, and admittedly, it was also a way for to erase her mory of the person who had caused all of this in the first place.
And that person was none other than .
"Thank you, Oppa," Min-hee expressed with a grateful but forced smile.
"I don't know what I would do without you. Thank you for being with ," she added, her eyes reflecting sincerity and appreciation.
"Don't worry. I will always be on your side. I'll do everything to protect you and your loved ones. I promise." I assured her, embracing her tightly.
