Chapter 141 – Chapter 5 – Myoseolah (3)
First of all, I met Seol-ah from the past for the first time yesterday and found out that she was my childhood friend.
Today, of course, I came out to the playground as soon as I had lunch to check on her condition.
“What are you doing?”
“Huh?”
Seol-ah was imitating her baby, holding her baby’s toothbrush in her mouth.
It’s not the real one, it’s probably a toy from kindergarten, so why the hell are you so proud of it?
Actually, in those days, was playing like a baby popular among kindergarteners?
“Yeah!”
“Care for the age.”
It’s kind of funny to ask a kindergartener to pay for his age.
Still, isn’t it funny that the kindergartener is carrying around?
Of course, if it’s the one with the remote breast milk dispenser function, I’d be tempted.
“Your age? What’s your age?”
“I’m sorry.”
Lately, I thought that Seol-ah was becoming more playful and brighter.
It seems that she was originally a child with a somewhat innocent feeling in her personality itself.
But as she lost her own senses and emotions, she became more and more calculating about her world, so her personality must have changed a bit.
‘By the way, this guy’s eyes have been black since then?’
In general, eye color other than brown is often regarded as a sign of an Awakener.
At least, black is a color that is difficult to distinguish from brown, so no one seemed to notice her.
At this level, I think it’s probably the right judgment to see her as an awakened person…
That said, she didn’t have to tell this guy her talent window and help her use her abilities.
Because when you’re young, it’s more important to enjoy life slowly without paying attention to traits.
If he starts using the trait for no reason, he has to go from elementary school to a hunter school instead of a regular school, so he is forced to go to school from a very young age.
And since the talent is only at level 1 anyway, it won’t be very helpful right now.
In the first place, this is a problem that parents who cherish and love Seol-ah must solve.
It was a topic that could make a child’s life complicated and, if twisted properly, ruin it, so it wasn’t something to be carelessly involved in.
‘Well, before that, her senses and her emotions were taken away and it was shattered.’
After losing it, Seol-ah grew up being treated as a psychopath by her and almost her children.
She later recalled that it wasn’t until she was in high school that she was able to act properly as a normal person.
In the end, she says that finding and stopping the incident that made Seol-ah like that is the first thing…
“Brother, brother! Did you make this castle?”
“It’s incredibly well made.”
It was a sand castle of incredible quality, even if it was made by a middle school student, let alone a kindergartener.
Of course, Seol-ah of the future has a great talent for creating magic tools of her incredible quality.
She had no idea it would be manifesting since she was so young.
“Who told you to pour water little by little and harden it?”
“Huh? Eunhyuk’s older brother told me!”
“…Was it?”
Seeing her laughing while fiddling with her sandcastle with one tiny hand is truly healing.
Of course, even though I am saying that, I have changed quite a bit now.
Still, I just thought that I was happy because my thinking head was an adult.
“Seol-ah. What does Seol-ah like the most?”
“Mom! Um, and fiddling with sand… And making something out of toys?”
“It’s Seol-ah.”
Of course, the future Seol-ah’s making magic tools is an effort to become stronger.
It is obviously also a remnant of the hobby that Seol-ah had at this time.
Thinking so, something in her heart seemed to throb.
A child who can laugh so happily with a toy, a child who felt the fun of touching things while making things more than anyone else, can’t feel all of them.
Sometimes it seems that knowing the future is a very harsh thing.
“Seol-ah, what kind of person do you want to become later?”
“Uh huh?”
I hugged Seol-ah for a while, rubbed her, and stroked her hair.
In doing so, she did it because she felt that her tears would burst if she did not see her bright expression.
Then, it was a question asked by Seol-ah, who suddenly became curious about the dream she had.
“Um, Seol-ah wants to be a great mother like my mom! So she’ll love a happy kid like me!”
“…”
“Brother? Where are you sick?”
“No. Yes, Seol-ah thinks she can be a really good mother.”
If she was such a kind and pretty daughter, if she had become a psychopathic child who couldn’t feel any happiness.
I couldn’t imagine how heartbroken the parents must have been for their daughter.
In the meantime, Seol-ah remembered one thing she said.
She said that she couldn’t feel any emotion herself, but she still didn’t want to make her mother sad for some reason.
She said that because she felt something was wrong, she tried to live as normal as possible.
And she said that when she did, she supported herself, albeit a little, because she felt herself filled.
The love Seol-ah had for her own mother was so strong and radiant indeed.
So, having lost all of her love, her heart became empty.
So the more she can study and act out her others and live a normal life, the more her mother will be able to find her smile.
With that smile, Seol-ah was able to fill her empty heart a little bit. Her smile led her back to her normal life.
Even if it wasn’t like that, in the overall look of Seol-ah now, a lot of things touched the future.
Since she was young, she has excelled in manual dexterity and a hobby that she likes to make.
Her obsession with having her own child, I guess, stemmed from her long-forgotten dream of being a good mother.
And, of course, it would be difficult to see that she played a nice character until she got close to me, and that she wasn’t affected by her personality at all during this time.
“Baby.”
“Huh?”
“No. See you tomorrow.”
“Hello!”
“Eunhyuk, thank you always. My child’s eyes shine brightly whenever he sees you.”
“No, ma’am. I also enjoy being with Seol-ah.”
She sighed as Seol-ah grabbed her mother’s hand and watched her run away excitedly.
First of all, I think I have gathered as much information as possible from talking to Seol-ah.
However, the problem is that there is only one piece of information that seems relevant in this case.
‘Is it to the extent that there is a high possibility that Seol-Ah has awakened?’
It’s not even a confirmed fact.
If I can even use magic, there must be a way to find out…
If Seol-Ah had been a pure magic awakener, she would have looked bad in appearance, even though she was a level 1 kindergartener.
Level 1 special cost Awakeners had very little magical power, so it was not noticeable when wearing thick clothes.
‘The most suspicious thing is that it’s a jewel?’
It reminded me of the jewels that were created when a person’s threshold was exceeded.
It has the characteristic that awakening is canceled when making it, and it has the same characteristics, even losing its senses and emotions like Seol-ah.
The extraction method may be different, but it is most reasonable to assume that it was extracted once.
In particular, as far as I know, Seol-ah did not awaken during her childhood, but it was a case of sudden awakening and rapid growth in her third year of high school.
If so, it means that she was in an unawakened state until then.
Then, no matter how much I think about it, it comes to the conclusion that there was an incident in which her awakening was canceled.
“Why are you such a child…”
As far as I know, she absorbs the gem and the level at which she can break the wall cannot be higher than the level of the person who was extracted.
Of course, I haven’t tested it myself, but I’ve confirmed that it’s almost the same system as the wall-breaking contract Hye-mi uses in spiritism.
Then, of course, she would have the same problem.
“I’ll have to look around…”
Of course, it is impossible for a child to go around looking for crimes against young girls.
I used all of my pocket money to pay for the PC room, sat down in a corner, and started investigating recent events.
“It was a time when security was really lax…”
No matter how much I am memorizing related codes because of reading past data.
It’s absurd that most awakening-related information can be accessed at this point with just that code.
Where is the crazy way to deal with all the master passwords, which were originally used for authorities such as the president, as past data such as public goods?
I belong to the country too, but I haven’t seen the civil servants do things right.
“The recent incident involving children…”
And I feel it once again while deliberately digging into this case.
There were many places like orphanages that subtly disappeared without the knowledge of mice or birds.
It’s probably a trace of the kidnapping of children in the production facility of the woman’s stomach.
The police also intentionally lost the data, so it was difficult to know exactly what the situation was.
“But why do you feel so cheap…”
Oddly related incidents are clean.
Well, if there had been such an unusual incident in the first place, I would have found it while browsing.
If there are criminals who really kidnap awakened children and create those strange jewels, one conclusion emerges.
‘It means that the woman’s stomach is intertwined.’
Shit, it’s so nasty that you’re wearing one foot for every event.
Of course, it’s not certain yet, but they’re cheap guys even if they curse for no reason anyway, so I started swearing at them first.
If that’s the case, you have to find the data before the incident breaks out and covers it up.
I couldn’t always check my computer, and I had to go back to the orphanage in the evening.
Things don’t follow me too much.
“Wait a minute, what was that!”
While downloading new cases that were received without much thought, I witnessed in real time that the cases were deleted at the same time as downloading.
I opened the file and found that there were gangs that only targeted and kidnapped young girls.
Originally, this is almost at the level of crap…
‘Even so, I deleted it in such a hurry. It’s an incident that shouldn’t even spread like that.’
At this point, it’s clear that the woman’s stomach is involved.
But other than that, the only thing that could be gleaned from the data was the suspect’s impression.
Beyond silver hair, straight hair with snow-white hair color…
“Ugh!?”
The moment I read the culprit’s impression, a sudden headache began to pierce my brain.
Here, she feels the same as when she first met Seol-ah.
I don’t know if it’s because it’s been a long time or if there’s a special reason, but somehow, for some reason, memories she had forgotten about came to mind little by little.
With a headache as if electricity had been applied to her head, a very strange memory is replayed.
Acrid smoke was thick in the dark space that looked like a warehouse.
Even a person with the exact same impression as the criminal I had just read was laughing at me.
“Sul, ouch…!”
And I managed to catch the figure of Seol-ah trembling in the corner of the warehouse.
