Chapter 704: Soulmate (3)

“Wait a minute.”

“…”

“We can start over.”

‘What?’

“We’re almost there.”

‘What did you say?’

Waaaaaaaaaaaah.

I felt like I heard something. The sensation of waking up in an instant covered my whole passed by in front of me.

It was hard to recognize what was going on because it happened so fast.

One thing for sure was that tears kept flowing like when I saw Park Deokgu for the last time. It was just that it didn’t stop and kept flowing.

‘What is this all of a sudden?’

I could tell from the circumstances that it was the first timeline’s story, but I couldn’t go into the details of what I had just seen since I remembered the situation that happened before I was suddenly sucked into the black world.

I was listening to the conversation between Heera and Cherubim. A strange pigeon appeared where Jihye Noona was, and I looked at it with a telescope.

‘I’ll see you in hell, soulmate.’

Something strange appeared in earnest right after Lee Jihye’s voice was heard.

‘Damn it.’

It wouldn’t be unreasonable to look into her again in a hurry after grasping the situation.

No, I didn’t even know where I was looking.

I didn’t know if what I was looking at was the black world of the first round or the reality, but I had no choice but to check how Lee Jihye currently was.

I was too busy to make a judgment on the first timeline.

However, I couldn’t see the Goddess’s Mirror screen properly because of the loud explosion and the hazy dust. The same was true of my telescope.

“Fuck. Fuck. Fuck.”

‘Is she going to die? You’re not dead, are you?’

How did she get in there?

‘Dominions?’

I didn’t hear she had that ability.

It was impossible to enter the place where Lee Jihye existed unless she had the ability to move like Jung Hayan.

No, even if she had the ability to teleport, it was never easy to penetrate the defense system that stretched around her situation room.

I thought that couldn’t happen, and it really couldn’t happen, but I didn’t find it strange considering their abilities.

I could only think of it as careless. At least the situation room with me and Lee Jihye were confident that they would never allow enemies to invade.

I thought maybe that place could also be the target of a pigeon named Dominions, but I was so confused that I couldn’t cope with such assumptions. How could I avoid living in that situation?

“Jihye Noona! Can you hear me? Can you hear me?”

She couldn’t hear me, but I was speaking loudly without realizing it.

I felt like my hair was turning white. I thought that couldn’t be the case, but my body was sending signs of increasing nervousness. If Lee Jihye died… No, when I thought about what it’d be like if she’d already died, I shut up.

‘Damn it. Fuck.’

“Lee Jihye! I told you to answer! You idiot!”

I kicked my desk nervously, but I still couldn’t hear her voice.

‘What should I do?’

‘What if…’

“What if Jihye dies?”

‘It would be the same as before.’

A sense of despair immediately surrounded my whole body. My head was dizzy, and my body was lethargic.

The tears I shed earlier continued to flow down. It was quite hard to get my act together.

Pigeons coming in from all sides were reflected on the screen. I was thinking of concentrating and giving the next order, but I could only hear my own heart.

-Honey. What was that just now? I’m waiting for the next order. What… don’t you have to care? Can I kill him? I don’t think you’re spitting out bullshit.

-Vice Guild Master, what’s next?

-Honorary Cardinal, the enemies are now continuing to swarm in.

– About the explosion that just happened… Chairman of the Continental Protection and Management Committee. Chairman of the Continent Protection and Management Committee?

“Answer me!”

[Jihye Noona. Don’t die. Jihye Noona. (0/1)]

‘What should I do? What should I do about this?’

My head got colder rather than hotter. It started to get so cold that I couldn’t think of anything else. I couldn’t help but laugh at myself for making a stupid mistake.

I quietly tapped my thighs and thought about my next plan, but my head kept getting distracted.

[Generating a common-grade forced quest.]

[Lee Jihye. (0/1)]

I felt like something huge was now coming over me from above. I was out of breath and out of my mind. Tears didn’t dry up and seemed to keep flowing. I felt like I was falling into the darkness in the blink of an eye, so I had no choice but to stop doing that.

‘Yeah, Shit. You’d be satisfied with this anyway.’

Lee Jihye would have been satisfied with my reaction.

[Generating a common-grade forced quest.]

[I know you’re lying, so just get up, Noona. It’s not funny. Please don’t do this.]

-…

‘See you in hell, soulmate? Don’t talk nonsense. Really.’

[Generating a common-grade forced quest.]

[No, don’t make it worse for me. It’s not even 1988, so let’s refrain from making weird productions. (0/1)]

I was confused by the fact that there’s still no response, so I laughed in vain.

‘Is Jihye just going to die here?’

It was more unconvincing than Kim Hyunsung cutting off shopping for bags or Ito Souta being Benignore’s devout believer.

I had a smile to show a calm acceptance of death. It’s the first round’s masked trash all over again.

Of course, even though Lee Jihye’s growth direction and goal in the first and second timelines were different, the nature of the masked trash didn’t change whatsoever.

She was born as the masked trash and wasn’t that stupid to die because of that. Of course…

‘I’m sure you have insurance.’

She was hiding something from me, just as I was hiding something from her. I was 100 percent certain of that.

If Lee Jihye didn’t have insurance, it wouldn’t matter if she threw herself from the rooftop right then. To be honest, I wasn’t even worried.

‘You’re not that stupid, are you?’

Funny how she thought I’d get caught up in that show in the first place. If she wanted to do it, she had to do it properly.

Didn’t the system and the shield break in the first place? No matter how hard it was, that still happened. I didn’t know what she was planning, but I wished she’d hurry up and come back to life. Seriously. I hoped she didn’t expect me to go to hell.

‘Isn’t it because of Cho Hyejin?’

That was a little too much.

However, it was convincing. Although I remembered a bragging voice about showing Cho Hyejin something properly, she wasn’t idiotic enough to deliberately poke holes in the defense system and let the enemy in. It wouldn’t be a welcoming situation for Lee Jihye to show her wealth.

Perhaps it was more convincing that Dominions had the ability to break through the defense system and that Lee Jihye made a scenario around that with quick judgment.

‘Wow, I can’t stand it. Are you writing a scenario? You’re amazing, too. I’m so surprised.’

“No, why aren’t you coming out?”

I didn’t worry at first, but there was no other action so far.

“Oh, don’t lie and come out. Don’t make me nervous.”

I still couldn’t hear anything else.

“Hey, Shit! Don’t do that, come on! Don’t do that, Noona!

Just as my anxiety slightly shook my mind…

-Oh, my…

I heard a quiet voice.

-You should’ve been fooled. You’re a real piece of crap, too. I’ve done so much, so you could’ve at least acted a little nervous.

-Unnie?

-Yeon-soo, I’m so proud and happy that you thought you’d accept it with your body. You’re too heavy. Get off of me a little bit? Oh, and Oppa. I’m just saying this in case you’re suspecting me, but I didn’t fake it. I was surprised, too. There’s no reason to fake things like this, so don’t doubt it. You don’t think I’m you, do you? Oh, by the way, there are all these amazing pigeons. I assumed our defenses could be breached, but who would’ve thought I was right? I’m curious how you got in, so I can listen to it step by step.

-Unnie… What is it now?

-What do you mean? I protected Yeon-soo.

-How can you…

-People like me have a lot of secrets. That’s more attractive. Can you stay away for a second? No, don’t be too far away and prepare for the battle instead.

-Huh? Huh? Unnie…

It was fun being human. The plan was bound to go awry. Nothing in the world was going the right way.

Lee Jihye laughed.

-Excuse me, lady. I don’t know why you came here. You made a mistake.

-That’s what happened.

The figure sitting arrogantly on the chair looked like a high lady from somewhere. The way she looked down at the Dominions made me smile.

-I wasn’t originally this type of person, but I thought this would happen if I lived in a harsh world. That’s what a girl like me does. If you assume the worst and think about slipping, you have no choice but to keep preparing. I didn’t think I could have the power, and I wasn’t a good gambler, so I wasn’t paying much attention to it, but I’m glad I had insurance prepared. It’s not wrong to throw dice as you do.

-Unnie…

It was certainly the look of the woman above. She seemed to be onto her.

It was just by a little, but I also understood how Lee Jihye felt. The moment her constant desire to climb up was unleashed, I felt the same way as her.

She was enjoying that moment. I could bet she’s obsessed with standing up like that.

Even if she weren’t a god, she would’ve acted as if she had no sense of compatibility with the trash that licked her feet underneath her. At least it looked like that in my eyes.

As if she couldn’t look at her with that expression, as if she would soon be on the ground, and as if Jihye would send me that look a few minutes later, she laughed at the great being.

‘I think you like losing.’

At this, masked trash of the first timeline opened her mouth.

-You can come out, Ronove.

I didn’t know what to say, but…

-As my cute little master wishes.

There came a really trashy expression.

-Do you want to lick my shoes? Then maybe I’ll forgive you.
