Chapter 370 – Dyeing (3)
From the 77th floor to the 77th floor.
When she arrived at the main room with a clear view of Gangnam, her expression was more stern than usual.
“Ha.”
Han Joo-hee sits on a chair and sinks her body into the backrest.
It was perfect until a little while ago.
Although there may be slight achievements, I have been stuck for several years without being able to advance to the next level.
I finally broke that wall, discovered a new world to reach, and learned the method.
“… “How did you know?”
How on earth did he know about the existence of hexagrams and ask me a question?
“I was processing all the information.”
There are less than ten people in Korea who know of their existence, including themselves.
Even they know because they leaked information on purpose.
There is only one way to acquire information that is completely controlled by oneself.
‘Either take it from a Hexagram member, or take it by force.’
The number of gang members residing in the country is very small.
Even so, if you are a member of an organization that can steal information in a situation where you are living under a false identity because there are no special instructions from the organization…
“Ha.”
It comes to mind.
A member of the organization who completely ignored the necessary procedures and came to me and asked for a meeting.
He was a cocky talent who was scouted by the organization in recognition of his abilities.
I don’t know exactly what that ability is, but he believed in it and went out of his way to warn me by gently pressing me on the waiting list.
‘I clearly warned you to just do what you have to do and get out of there… !’
If you don’t want to end up in a fire somewhere, just finish what you have to do and quietly disappear.
She immediately asked through a secret messenger distributed within the organization.
Has anyone contacted him recently?
Everyone answered that question.
I have never been contacted.
If so, it means that the last person to see him was none other than himself.
A system is organized so that all activities in the country are reported to me at the end.
She is one of the most powerful people in Korea.
Because if she knows what was done and how it was done, there is no information she can’t destroy.
Still, it was obvious that it was such great news.
‘You either got caught or you died.’
Either way, it was clear that they had crossed a river from which they could never return.
“Ha.”
There was more work to be done.
We must find out how far the name Hexagram has spread and organize them.
She was adamant that it didn’t matter if her name was just a little known.
‘They shouldn’t be known yet.’
These are people who try to draw a picture so large that it cannot be captured even by their own eyes, even if they are standing one step, or even a few steps back.
The vulnerability of drawing such a large picture is that it is difficult to respond to each and every disturbance, big or small.
What if someone leaves a stain on the right edge while you’re busy drawing on the left?
Even if you draw a picture and add color to that part, it doesn’t change the fact that there is a scratch there.
As the level of completion decreases, the value also decreases.
‘I can’t leave it like that.’
Therefore, she must strictly control information about them, as she has done so far.
This continued until they finally drew up all the sketches and came forward on their own.
Leave a message on the messenger that appears on the monitor.
[Find everyone in the association who knows the name of the organization and silence them.]
When she saw the reply that came back shortly after, she closed her eyes with a dismayed expression.
The worries didn’t end there.
‘Kim Do-jin…’
What should I do with this man who mentioned the name of the organization in front of me?
To get rid of regret, there is one of two things.
Either she gets rid of him or he erases her memories.
If not even that… , But you could also consider recruiting him into the organization.
“It would be impossible.”
Looking at him, you inadvertently compare him to her husband.
They were that much alike.
Obviously, the atmosphere on the outside is quite different… , At first glance, the insides are very similar.
Therefore, she realizes that recruiting him is close to impossible.
If my husband and he were truly alike, he would be the same too.
“I am definitely not a person who should be under anyone…”
A person who bends and yields in areas where he can give, even when he is on the verge of breaking.
However, in the non-negotiable areas, he does not bend, let alone break, even if a knife is put to his throat.
The reason I fell for him… , The advantages and disadvantages that have made me distance myself from that feeling now.
In the end, the only way to get rid of Huhwan is to kill him or erase his memories…
‘It is impossible to remove.’
He is the key.
The only key that will take my magic to a different level than it is now.
Even erasing memories was impossible.
‘It’s a very unstable procedure.’
I heard that sometimes, in the process of removing memories, people become idiots or have other memories erased as well.
If you mess with his memory and his magical knowledge disappears, isn’t that the same as killing him?
In the end, there was only one option for her at the moment.
“I can’t help it… , I have no choice but to leave it as is.”
When asked if she knew the hexagram, she answered honestly.
I know.
There, the restriction of having to tell only the truth has disappeared.
So she later added a false explanation.
It’s a mysterious organization about which nothing is known, and if any information about them comes in, they will hand it over.
So… , Don’t move too hastily.
Now that I’ve said that, it’s unlikely that I’ll use my rights to ask any more questions.
‘But it’s not 0%.’
So, I’m going to prepare some information in advance.
If you make up some decent information and give it to them once before exercising their rights, at least they won’t have to ask unnecessary questions about it.
“… “This should be enough for now.”
After organizing her complicated thoughts, Han Joo-hee immediately closes her eyes.
The sensation of the magic in the air piercing my whole body still remained, albeit faintly.
Her mind gradually fell into a trance.
* * *
From the 77th floor to the 77th floor.
After going back and forth through 154 floors, she gets on the returning elevator and heads to the first floor.
“Hmm… “Was the question too shallow?”
I didn’t learn much from this question.
When asked if she knew about the hexagram, she replied that she did.
That’s it.
There is no guarantee that the explanation added after that is true, so it must be listened to carefully.
“Oh, there’s one more thing.”
Her answer is to forcefully turn Hexagram into a mysterious organization.
Through this, we can learn one more thing.
Han Joo-hee and Hexagram have a fairly deep connection in some way.
Tried to put a leash on me.
I’ll get you information about them, so you just stay quiet.
But there is one thing she is overlooking.
The fact that I also wrapped a thin piece of wool around her neck that would eventually grow into a leash.
“It may take some time, but… , Doesn’t matter.”
Now that she has opened her doors, there will be more and more time to meet her.
In the process, he lets his guard down by asking shallow questions that create small ripples on the surface of the water.
If I go deep and deep in an instant, she might try to kill me.
Just approach it slowly, very slowly, and color it with my energy.
Going deeper comes next.
After making it impossible for them to be hostile towards me or kill me.
“It’s not really my thing, but…”
It’s not something I really like.
Coloring the other person with greed, an energy that even I cannot fully understand, is an act of harming that person by invading his or her unique color or taste.
If I had to compare it, this is like a cheat key or hack used in a game.
A means that makes it infinitely easier to use, but invades and loses the unique flavor of the game.
Besides that, coloring others in your own way is taking away freedom.
“I can’t help it.”
I value emotional connection as much as physical pleasure.
This is a method that should never be used on a woman you truly want to get, but she is an exception.
Turn your back and look up at the top of the building you just exited.
“… “There’s no more emotional connection to build between you and me, is there?”
The time for that has long passed, and I have no intention of doing so.
That’s why I don’t feel any guilt.
I just want to color her and sink her into her quagmire as soon as possible.
I just want to uncover the secrets I didn’t know about and completely erase the old feelings that won’t go away no matter what I do.
What is needed for this is periodic meetings.
Leave her a message by her.
[Kim Do-jin: The sensation I felt today will disappear in a few days at most. In order to maintain the sensation for a longer period of time, it is better to engrave the sensation as often as possible.]
If I say this, you will understand.
What am I trying to say.
A reply arrived shortly thereafter.
[Han Joo-hee: I will contact you soon.]
After confirming the satisfactory reply, I put my smartphone in my pocket.
I finally got my hands on Pandora’s box.
As long as my will doesn’t break, sooner or later I’ll find out what’s in that box.
Please.
I hope she didn’t cross her line.
It’s not a wish for me, nor a wish for her.
For our daughter Seoyeon, who will be greatly hurt when she finds out everything.
Even though she stayed away from her husband and became a spoiled wife by keeping countless secrets.
No matter how much I apologize to my daughter, I hope I won’t become a lousy mother who can’t be forgiven.
That was the last glimmer of hope I had for her.
