Chapter 150 – 25. Omens (2)
The beginning was during the sea dragon incident.
Intentionally crowding people together to induce as many freaks as possible to survive, and using some kind of trick so that the professors can’t easily notice.
Should I be angry at not having figured it out beforehand, or should I be happy that I have noticed the spy’s existence even now.
It seemed that most of the professors, especially Shiana, were in the former case.
Even if the spy did only ‘very little’ manipulation, the fact that the sea dragon’s resurrection began from that little thing doesn’t change.
How did Sianna feel when she saw Sanya, whom she trusted and followed just like her mother, prepared for her death and burned her essence.
She couldn’t even imagine.
“So, the reason why the sea dragon appeared then… Is it because the demons did it? Are there any professors who collude with the demons?”
“Professor Shiana said it, so there’s little chance of it being wrong. And although this is still in the realm of speculation… I wonder if the infiltrator didn’t reach out during the raid.”
“It was definitely a bit strange… But I had no idea that there was such an inside story. Unfortunately, I only knew that it overlapped with the sea dragon’s resurrection cycle… Looking back on the raid incidents now, there are a lot of questionable parts.”
On the same day Sanya, who was injured, tried to transplant the essence of a sea dragon, a secret facility raid happened.
Was that even a coincidence? Not at all.
It must have been deliberately set the date so that Sanya could not respond properly by targeting the timing when she was most vulnerable.
“But even so, what are the plans and greens talking about? Are they plotting something again?”
“That’s… I don’t think it’s something we can recognize yet. Let’s talk to Professor Shiana or Sanya first and then investigate slowly. We’ve already failed once.”
“Yeah, there’s nothing wrong with being careful.”
The fact that there is an infiltrator is itself heavy enough.
I didn’t intend to put more responsibility on Juha, and in the first place, Juha shouldn’t have that responsibility anymore.
Having already gone through a lot of pain, I didn’t want to inflict another deep wound on my broken heart.
So, that’s it.
After learning that there were intrigues, traitors, and enemies inside, Juha acted more cautiously, and it was enough for them to remain unnoticed.
If someone tries to sneak up on her, her sensitive magic response will naturally reveal her true identity, so she can definitely fulfill her role as an assistant.
This is not a consideration out of sympathy or shallow guilt.
Because I was determined to shake off all of that ignorant mind because of what happened last time.
My decision now was part of a plan to cut off Juha’s buds in advance so that she wouldn’t get caught up in the ‘plan to kill the demons’ that would happen in the future.
Ju-Ha, who is half-human and half-horse, is bound to become a target for other humans.
Her usual behavior or character would not be considered important at all.
With just her ‘half-evil’ label, her gaze towards her is determined in her loathing at once.
Indiscriminate slaughter of humans stained with blood and madness, they will eventually become no different from the demons they hate.
“Now I can tell just by looking in your eyes. Are you worried about me?”
“Huh? Uh… The atmosphere outside these days isn’t unusual. There’s nothing wrong with being careful.”
“I don’t know, but the atmosphere seems strangely overheated these days. It doesn’t matter if I move to the shadows unnoticed by people, but thanks for caring anyway?”
Juha’s slender fingers slowly caressed the back of my hand.
Bright brown eyes stare at me with a twinkle.
I felt strangely tickled.
“Please stay like this for a moment. Holding hands…”
“Uh… Yes.”
Pounding, pounding.
For some time, a thumping sound had been ringing in my ears.
Had I been nervous without realizing it?
I feel something hot and mushy moving in my chest.
I tried to soothe myself with deep breathing, but every time I did, Juha’s fingers clamped tighter with my hand.
My whole body starts to heat up little by little.
My head is hot even though I haven’t done anything.
Is it because of the past memories with Joo-ha, which were dizzy enough to be engraved deep in the subconscious, or because the steamy air in August heated up the room without even realizing it?
The eyes of Juha, who looked beyond the blurry focus, seemed to know something.
—But I don’t know.
The gaze of a loved one is sometimes more difficult to guess than anyone else’s intentions.
That’s why I just stare blankly.
They hug each other’s hot eyes without being able to breathe properly, to the point that they wonder if they’re going to harden like this.
– I’m sorry.
Little by little the distance gets closer.
I move my steps slowly with my hands fully folded.
The space between the lips is about the size of a piece of paper.
Exchanging each other’s breaths that are hot as if they’ll melt, we slowly put our lips together…
“Uh, uh…? My, did I interrupt? Hehe, Ray didn’t see anything, so you can go on! I’ll go back in!”
As I was about to …, An intruder intervened.
The result is an instant atmosphere.
The air, which had been muggy just a moment ago, had returned to just the right degree of coolness.
I was immersed in it for the first time in a while.
I didn’t even know the air conditioner was running…!
Juha also put her hand to her mouth with a slightly reddened face, as if she felt the same way as me.
“Hey, Kim Ray. Come to work.”
“Huh? Why…? You’re not trying to scold me, right? Well, it’s not my fault…?”
When her own name was called, Ray, with her bewildered expression, hesitantly walked towards me.
You’re trying to scold me, yumma.
Fuck!
“Aww! Why are you hitting me!”
“Hey, don’t you know the mood? Go get down on your knees and reflect.”
“This is our house! What are we going to do~ Ebebebeb.”
I released it a little lately, but it keeps cracking?
I was about to reload the Punisher’s Punisher one more time, but Juha, who was watching the two of us, inadvertently lowered his hand due to a giggling smile.
“Pu-huh… Sorry, Ray. It’s your house, so I almost made a mistake. I apologize.”
“Look! Juha says he’s sorry too! Apologize quickly!”
When Juha takes her side, she becomes elated at once and is flattered.
If you keep asking me if you come here like that, you’re going to get into a bad habit.
“Hi-goo… Yes, I’m sorry. Is that okay?”
“I’m not sincere!”
“I used all my heart when I hit you.”
“Seeing…”
The adult world is harsh and cold.
Judging from how he still grunts and grabs his head even though he didn’t put much effort into it… I guess that’s acting.
Joo Ha also just stared at Ray with a smile on his lips, perhaps realizing it earlier.
Anyway, once the flow was broken, it became an embarrassing situation to be here anymore.
Well, I’m done with my errands, but what am I going to do if I stay?
Before long, we left the house with Ray not seeing us off.
“Goodbye~ Go quickly~”
“See you tomorrow, Ray. Have a nice dream.”
“Juha be careful, too! Lee Jihoo, have a nightmare!”
“Hey, are you saying that I hit you with a honey chestnut? Am I really sad?”
“Yes, yes! Sorry!”
Just don’t talk
Wait, can’t it be… Cyan is also affected by Ray and becomes that way, right?
For some reason, I felt a chill run down my spine.
After breaking up with Juha, I returned home and shut myself in the corner of my room for the first time in a while.
It’s a bit unfortunate that I can’t spend the late night with Seol-ah or Ha-yul, but there’s something more important than that.
‘Plan, snitch, green…’
Sianna was convinced that she had an infidel among Arba Delin’s professors.
In fact, I wonder if this is the correct answer because there were many situations that could not be explained unless it was a faculty member, especially a key figure.
Professor and spy.
I gather up the knowledge of the original work that has begun to fade little by little, and try to put a person who meets the conditions into the situation one by one.
Originally, he would have written down the future plot and characters on a piece of paper and organized them, but it was forbidden to leave any traces hastily in the yard where there were many people living together and no one was sure of any surveillance.
Right now, it’s best to refresh the knowledge in your head and organize only the most efficient parts.
“Oh, there was one. The one who suddenly disappeared right before the cataclysm.”
Even when I heard the story of Siana last time, it was a person who immediately came to mind, so I should have been able to think of that person’s name without difficulty this time too.
Why can’t I remember your name?
I was sure I knew it last time, but I forgot about it?
No matter how briefly it was mentioned in the original, I read the original several times.
It feels as if someone has cut out only part of the memory.
No matter how much I try to recall the professor’s characteristics, I can never get to the point.
After groaning with my hair wrapped around my head for a while, I was soon able to make one of the worst assumptions.
“Someone secretly accessed my subconscious and took out my memories… Does this make sense?”
The element of memory is not so easy.
If it is not intensely stimulating the entire brain in the same way as ‘hypnosis’, the rest of the memory can be completely destroyed even if a very small part of the memory is touched incorrectly.
Even more so, memory is something that even that Cormpuntur cannot easily touch, and if someone tried to steal my memory, I would have been affected in some way.
The hazy feeling right after being released from hypnosis, and things like that.
But, as far as I can remember, it hasn’t happened at all in the past month.
Then who is it?
Who the hell is the person who can do something like this?
Think of possible cases.
The names of countless people come to mind and then disappear again and again.
Then, the thought came to a person’s name.
There was no physical evidence, but there was a heart symptom.
I don’t know how, but the situation itself fits perfectly.
The person who suddenly disappeared, and who approached my mind not too long ago.
“Pirahyun…”
Who the hell are you
