Chapter 688: Lee Kiyoung, You Piece of Crap (2)
“I think I’m a little…drunk.”
“Kiyoung…”
“I have to go back to my room.”
‘I think I’m going to have a real mental illness. Seriously… sh*t…’
“Ha… but… Now… just now…”
“I felt dizzy for a second. I’m sorry, but I think I’d better go in first.”
“I…”
“Enjoy the rest of your time and wrap up your seat, Hyunsung. Please speak well to the guild members.”
“…”
“I’m so sorry.”
“No…”
It’s hard to understand what was real and what wasn’t.
It seemed to me that I had a rough idea of why people like demon summoners Jin Qing, devil worshipper Ito Souta, the devil contractors whose names I couldn’t even remember, and Lee Seol-ho, were so lost.
I felt like I was pouring soil into a pit that sent a man away completely.
‘Lee Kiyoung, you son of a gun! You son of a gun!’
I looked back a little on myself in the past when I laughed at the villains who shouted with excitement.
I was foolish to think that the villains, who eventually lost their reason and rushed like animals, were uncivilized embargoes who abandoned human beings.
Didn’t they get tongue-tied thinking that it might not be the price they signed with the devil?
At first, I thought that all the calm and charismatic images shown by those villains were masks, so I was seriously worried about their human nature.
However, when I thought about it, all of those guys had a reason to be excited. Maybe I didn’t lose my temper, but I couldn’t resist their anger.
It was clear that I felt similar to the devil’s servants that day. They would have looked around floundering about what was going on and wanted to dig into what the hell was true.
Anger when they realize that in the end, everything was incited and fabricated information.
It was clear that I was looking at the changing environment, wondering if I had a mental illness and that I had changed my own environment.
As soon as I quickly entered the room after shaking off Kim Hyunsung, my face reflected in the window made sense of the story of the provocative totem that Lee Jihye said.
‘You filthy crook.’
I didn’t know if it was just my feeling, but it felt like I was sending a mean expression that day. I wanted to make a scene where I reached out and broke the window like a movie, but when I imagined the glass stuck in my finger, my anger slowly began to fade.
‘I can’t trust me. Don’t ever trust me. Sh*t. Seriously, I’m an impostor.’
I started hitting the back of my head and not the others.
The imagination of glass stuck in my fingers seemed to have worked, considering it felt like my breathing was stabilizing by that point. I thought again slowly about what it was just then.
‘Bluffing, right?’
I thought it might’ve been right to judge that it was a wild throw.
‘What do you mean by thanking Altanus?’
However, many possibilities continued to hover. That was, for example, like a poison. I knew I shouldn’t drink it, but I couldn’t help but gulp it down all the same.
It was honestly none of my business that Lee Kiyoung remained until the end of the first round. Still, if it was true that he and Altanus were involved in the seedling, there was a possibility that they had influenced Kim Hyunsung in some way.
It wouldn’t be unreasonable to draw attention to Kim Hyunsung’s choice as he didn’t understand what it meant.
But…
It was a trap. Lee Kiyoung was fooling me.
Of course, it was highly likely to be a trap. It was right to think that Lee Kiyoung triggered it as he got closer to making a bet with Lucifer. Wasn’t the biggest evidence of that was the fact that I was swaying like that right at that moment?
If it were true that Altanus and I were bonded, I wouldn’t show it to myself like that.
Assuming that it was a landscape shown by my unconscious mind, the situation would be a little more complicated, but I didn’t have time to consider such moment.
“Is it possible that the bet we shared with Lucifer itself was a trap?’
What if what the past Lee Kiyoung really wanted to hide was not a bet with Lucifer but a memory of the first round?
‘No, I’ve gone too far.’
I was showing myself the truth, almost as if it was a lie.
‘That’s too far. Don’t fall like this. That’s what the imposter wants.’
I had to keep my balance. It was important not to be swayed, as I thought before the meeting began in earnest. Everything could get ruined if I started looking around too much.
Furthermore, I wasn’t the type to force a treasure chest out. Lee Kiyoung didn’t like to lose his possessions, even though he took them out sometimes.
There was no reason to take that out first. The bastard was never the type to show off.
Even if I realized it, I couldn’t hold the treasure chest in my own hands.
Of course, I knew it was stupid to abandon the possibility altogether, but I thought it would be only after checking the missing memory of Kasugano.
I started walking right away like that. I wanted to take Jung Hayan with me, but I had no choice but to prepare to head to where Kasugano was.
She’s the one who had the most important clue. She had the answer.
“What is it?”
What was the secret that I wanted to hide? Of course, but I was certain that it wasn’t normal.
‘We’ve spread the scale too wide.’
Weren’t there too many mysterious things to consider?
After holding the harness of the Griffon in a hurry, all kinds of thoughts began to come into my head while heading to the sky, but no one could say that it was meaningless.
‘Sh*t. Sh*t. Sh*t.’
To be honest, I wasn’t even sure the answer was to meet her immediately.
As I got closer, anxiety grew in my mind. How many times did I think about whether it’s a better choice to go back?
However, after seeing Yuno Kasugano’s face as if she had been waiting for me, I had no choice but to nod unknowingly.
She knew I was heading to her place.
“…”
“…”
“I’m surprised that I haven’t seen you in a long time.”
Apparently, she and I had met each other recently. The idea that the memory was completely deleted once again confused my mind.
‘What the hell?’
The face staring at me quietly with closed eyes contained anxiety. I had no choice but to bite my lips in return for her unwelcoming expression.
“Isn’t this the right answer?’
Would I really lose the bet if I got my memory back?
Questions popped up but having concessions didn’t suit me. It wasn’t a story confined to others. It’s the same for me, and there’s never a compromise.
Just as I was about to speak, Yuno Kasugano opened her mouth first.
“Here you are.”
“…”
“…”
“Wait…”
“Yes. I’ve been waiting for you to come.”
‘It’s good that I don’t need an explanation.’
“I’ve been waiting for… You must know what I’m here for.”
“Yes.”
‘I like this, too.’
“However.”
“…”
“I don’t know about the bets and other things you two shared. I want to tell you in advance that the answer you want to know will not be found through me.”
“I don’t need anything else. We just need to talk about what we’ve talked about and what I’m hiding.”
“Master… You didn’t want me to tell you about this even in the future.”
‘Yeah, I guess so.’
“You also knew I couldn’t go against that.”
‘That’s right, too.’
“What I can show you is not the answer.”
‘I’ll be the judge.’
“And you also told me to tell you to never to be swayed after seeing this.”
“Why would I be swayed?”
“You’ve told me to say this to you many times.”
‘So, what the hell is it?’
I was worried because she was indeed taking her time.
‘Sh*t. Why are you taking so long when it’s not the answer?’
It was when I tapped my thigh for no reason.
Her eyes slowly began to open. Of course, I was very aware of what would happen. I had already looked at the black world and the future with her.
Tears were flowing out of her empty eyes, and I had no choice but to face her gaze, although it was a little scary.
I started to feel like my body was being sucked in somewhere, and the things I wanted to hide from me were coming into my eyes in pieces.
A big battlefield.
‘Raphael?’
I could see the holy warrior himself.
‘What the hell is he doing?’
A rewarding appearance for not removing the life support.
I was a little surprised, but I didn’t think it was a secret I wanted to hide. I was a little nervous, but Raphael was facing one of the angels, not Kim Hyunsung.
After that, the place had once again been reversed.
‘Cha Hee-ra?’
Her appearance was also beginning to come into view. It was more fearful than worrisome to see her whole body in rags, constantly wielding a sword and an ax and fighting with five or six spears stuck inside her body.
Rather than having an appearance of collapsing at any moment, she seemed to be enjoying the fight itself. The scene of bursting with laughter and killing angels was what I was exactly expecting from Cha Hee-ra.
‘Genorziah.’
The golden dragon, who decided to become a friendly soldier, was also creating a mythological moment.
It was satisfying because that meant the meeting went well, even though it was a scene currently without progress. The dragon’s pillar-like golden breath overturned an entire area.
‘Jung Hayan.’
Judging from the fact that the situation was going that far, Jung Hayan seemed to have succeeded in jumping over the wall.
She was constantly chanting spells as I expected. The venom in her eyes seemed to tell her how big her resolve was.
I couldn’t see other guild members or Jihye Noona, but it was clear that she was playing her role somewhere.
It was quite different from the 10% possibility.
The continent was resisting the pigeons with all its might, and some were even pushing the invaders back.
I didn’t know what the hell was wrong with it. I tried to find out with all my strength what was to hide and what the problem was, but nothing came into mind. I was even happy because it turned out as I had expected.
I was starting to think that Yuno Kasugano might have shown another scene by mistake, but I was proved wrong.
‘What the…’
What was that?
Before me, an unbelievable sight began to show.
In the middle of the battlefield, slowly, I began to see myself correctly.
‘What the hell is that?’
That wasn’t what I was looking forward to.
That didn’t look right. I looked like a complete rag, but the worst part was…
I wasn’t even breathing.
Soon after that, black wings spread out. Kim Hyunsung was looking down at me.
“What… Sh*t. I… Am I dying?”
“…”
“Hyunsung… will kill me?”
“…”
“Hyunsung… why… kill me?”
