EP.409
“Huh, Geuncheol? Why don’t you just tell your sister?”
Breath is close.
“If you are experiencing something like that, you need to get help quickly. The more you get involved in something like that, the more likely it is that you will develop symptoms. Geuncheol, think about it carefully.”
Ryu Na is sitting on the motel bed and has been telling me to rely on her. Although I felt quite nervous, the strange atmosphere seemed to relax my mind.
It’s impossible to say something when the Void Princess is involved.
Also, prophetic paranoia?
My memories are not delusions. Most of it has been forgotten and only a few have come to mind, but they are by no means fake.
Other guys have developed those symptoms? Does not matter. It’s annoying, but it’s not important.
“Hmm… no matter how much I think about it, there is no such thing.”
He pretended to think for a moment and then said. Then, without turning his head, he looked at Ryu Na’s mood.
Of course, there is no way I could read the mood of Special Operations Unit agent Ryuna.
“so?”
He just reacts normally and massages my hand. I can’t judge anything. Is this sister really worried about me or is she questioning me because she is suspicious?
“Yes. Still, after hearing the story, I’m a little worried. Don’t you think something like that could suddenly happen to me one day?”
Therefore, I tried to induce the conversation appropriately by showing normal reactions.
Whatever it is, this sister knows a lot.
You should listen to the information you can hear.
“Oh, that’s right. Even if it’s okay now, that kind of illness can come at any time.”
“Are you sick?”
“It’s a disease. A disease from another world.”
“okay.”
It is treated as a type of mental illness.
“Ah then, sister. By any chance, that power I just showed you. Isn’t that also something strange? It seems a little suspicious since my sister, who is an agent, keeps saying that.”
“are you okay.”
Ryuna said with a smile as if to reassure me.
“If I were to explain this ability, well, there have been a few reports of similar abilities. Do you think Geuncheol’s name will be on them?”
“Is that so?”
“Yes. I don’t know the details because it is an ability that is still being studied, but the magical power of superhumans is also a power that flows from the other world, right? The same goes for other supernatural abilities, so there is no need to worry too much.”
“Oh, then you can use it with confidence!”
Is that so?
It’s just like the Void Princess said last time.
It was said that there would be people who would awaken this blood ability.
It seems that there are actually a few cases where that happened to people. I don’t really have to worry about side effects. It’s not that I trust Boff, but she did it herself because she wanted something from me.
“Anyway, sister. Since we’re talking, can you explain a little more about that prophetic paranoia thing?”
“Are you curious?”
“Isn’t it enough for you to be so worried? Of course I’m curious. Just to reassure my sister who is worried about me, okay? Please tell me a little bit.”
“Oh, Geuncheol. On the other hand, are you worried about your sister?”
“Hehehe, that’s right.”
“Then let me explain.”
How did you get through it?
The tension from earlier fades away. Ryuna began to explain in a relaxed manner, as if she were having a meal with me.
“This prophetic paranoia is a little different from the existing paranoia.”
“Different?”
“Yes. Most of the existing paranoias were disjointed and had little in common. It was literally a mental illness that was nothing more than a delusion.”
“Then what about the current prophetic paranoia?”
“Would you say that the delusion is a bit unified?”
“Unification?”
That’s right.
Does this mean everyone will make similar prophecies?
Could it be that I can see the future I know?
“Surprisingly, the things people with paranoia say are similar.”
“No, is that possible? You said Colossus was involved, right? That unknown object just shot out some sort of mental attack wave at humans. Is it something that causes similar delusions?”
“Oh my, our Geuncheol has really good reasoning skills? He’s definitely a talent suited for the Special Operations Department.”
“Oh my gosh, it’s business again.”
ㅡSigh.
Ryuna said that and stroked my head.
“Yes. I actually made that inference.”
“okay.”
“But the dangerous thing is… Geun-cheol. This time, the villains announced their crime. Do you know?”
“Of course. I’m afraid the cadets won’t know.”
“Those villains.”
Villains.
“I think he’s suffering from that paranoia.”
What?
“Shall we say that such people are gathered together?”
So, the guys who were able to see the future by Colossus… became so paranoid that they went completely crazy and turned into villains?
It’s like a puzzle is coming together in my head.
“Then does the Special Operations Department know about the villains who committed the crime?”
“That’s confidential.”
“ah.”
I guess so.
“Anyway. I’m really glad. Geuncheol didn’t get that disease.”
“Hehehe, I must be so healthy.”
“Yes. Good. You need to take care of your health.”
ㅡSigh.
Ryuna let go of my hand and stood up.
Is the interrogation over now?
“Geun-cheol. No matter what you think, as long as you want to stop the villain and protect people from otherworldly beings, you will be able to overcome anything.”
“Of course! I always think so!”
“Hehehe, that’s really great. Ah, next time, please say hello to Instructor Sora.”
“I will.”
Ryuna gets up and prepares to leave.
It seems like it’s over now… I feel a little relieved now, but you can’t let down your guard at times like this because it can come back to you.
“Sister. Are you going back now?”
I also asked as I got up.
“Yes?”
Ryuuna looked at me and said with a smile like a kind-hearted older sister.
“Our Geuncheol. Do you not want to go?”
“yes?”
“Shall we hang out here with my sister some more?”
“No! What do you mean? What are you doing here playing?!”
“Hehehe well? What could there be?”
What is this sister talking about?
“Oh, let’s get out quickly!”
“Yep.”
So I left the motel with Ryuuna. Nothing much happened in the process.
“Since you called me out like this, I guess I should do something more.”
Ryuna said with regret.
“I’m sorry. My sister is busy. Shall I go back now?”
“It’s okay. You came because you were worried about me. In fact, I am more grateful.”
“You know how to be considerate. Geuncheol.”
“Isn’t it basic?”
“So Geuncheol? If villains approach you, contact me right away?”
With those last words, Ryu Na left.
“goodbye.”
After saying hello, I also looked around for a moment and then returned to the dormitory. naturally. Checking to see if anyone is following me.
“There’s nothing in particular.”
No, but haven’t you installed a listening device or something like that in your house?
I honestly doubt this. So, as soon as I got home, I checked everywhere, but there wasn’t anything in particular.
Still, I can’t rest assured.
I’ll have to be a little more careful in the future.
For people at the level of the Special Operations Department, installing a wiretapping device without a trace would be a no-brainer.
“There’s a listening device in my ear…!”
But since the wiretapping device is so damn bad, it makes me feel like I’m mentally ill. anyway. Even if Kitty suddenly appears, be careful not to notice it.
“Pupupu. Geuncheol oppa. Hello? Good night.”
“Hey dude!”
They say even tigers will come if you tell them!
“town!”
He immediately grabbed Kitty from behind and covered her mouth. He looks like a bad guy kidnapping!
“Are you coming?”
“quiet.”
Whisper in his ear.
“There’s a wiretap in the room.”
“Ugh?”
Silence descended.
Kitty seemed to look around for a moment, then slipped out of my arms and stepped on the floor.
“There’s nothing like that, Geuncheol. What kind of game is this?”
“It’s okay if you don’t have it. Let’s just blow the trumpet.”
“Yeah. Good.”
I immediately took out my trumpet and started playing in pairs with Kitty.
ㅡPupupup!
A beautiful rhyme that soothes the heart flows out. Kitty this guy. I thought it was annoying until now, but when I see it like this, it’s like a bard that always gives me a buff.
This performance puts my mind at peace.
I feel relaxed.
I sat down right on the bed.
“Haa… Kitty. I wasn’t going to say this, but hearing you play makes me feel good.”
“That’s Kitty’s trumpet skills.”
Kitty, who was smiling at my praise, came over and sat on my lap. It’s just that this is a reserved seat.
“So why did you come?”
“That’s it. Geuncheol oppa. Did something interesting happen this time?”
“It’s not that fun.”
Villains and monsters invaded, and civilians were sacrificed. No one finds this funny except monsters.
“Let me correct you. Something unusual happened, right?”
“Oh yeah. That’s unusual. Is that why you came?”
“huh.”
also.
“Geuncheol oppa. Did you feel anything strange?”
what?
* * *
A dark space filled with unpleasant mechanical sounds.
Light comes into the center. It was as if the stage opened and the lights came on.
ㅡJiying.
What stands tall in the center is a bizarre octahedron structure with all kinds of geometric patterns carved into it. It is large enough to fill the center of the stage and shows off its presence by emitting a strange light.
“…”
A man wearing a monarch’s uniform stands with his back in front of him and looks up at the structure.
There was no movement in the shadow that fell behind him.
“…This.”
yet.
He opened his mouth.
“What is the discrepancy?”
Ripples appear in the shadows.
