Chapter 43 – #44 the Owner of a Dress Shop Cheats on His Age
#44 The owner of a dress shop cheats on his age
Peter quickly mended his suit. Whether it’s good workmanship or supernatural power, within 10 minutes of going in, I came out with a suit that was exactly the same as when I first bought it.
Cain I couldn’t find the part torn by that bug child even after washing my eyes.
“Yeah, that’s it.”
“… Can you please leave now?”
I changed my clothes on the spot. Maybe because I thought it was a special piece of clothing, the feeling of sticking to my body was definitely different compared to other clothes.
I responded shamelessly to Peter’s request, who looked tired.
“What about the mask?”
“… I can’t make it right now because I don’t have the fabric.”
‘Oh my God?’
I got a hint from Peter’s words.
That the suit I’m wearing right now isn’t simply made with Peter’s psychic powers. If so, what fabric do you use?
“Yes? All right. Then come back tomorrow.”
“…”
“Rather than that, your complexion looks really bad. If you’re tired, why don’t you close your business early today and rest?”
“I’ll take care of it. So please leave.”
“Really? Then there’s nothing we can do. Anyway, thank you for the clothes. See you tomorrow.”
“…”
When he said see you tomorrow, Peter closed his mouth tightly with a poopy expression on his face. It looks like he’s resisting, but it’s useless, you bastard. You will work hard for my future!
“…”
“What else?”
When I went outside, I turned around and Peter gave me a nervous expression. I looked at him and tilted my head to the side.
‘Should I use it up?’
My second psychic ability, [Psychic Analyst], Increases the amount of information that can be confirmed according to the number of psychic sightings.
However, you can check the status window right away without looking at the psychic powers, and it was the [Active] And [Instant Analysis (Active)] Skills.
Each has a 5% and 100% chance of seeing the status window without looking at the psychic ability.
‘Immediate analysis is a bit wasteful… Wouldn’t it be okay to use bokbulbok? The cooldown is 3 days anyway.’
I wondered what kind of superpowers they had just by looking at them. I have a lot of questions about 30 pictures!
‘Yes, let’s write it. After all, there’s less pressure to get lucky.’
Immediate analysis has already decided where to use it. I will use it on Gina right away.
I tried to check Jina’s psychic powers the other day, but unfortunately the tutorial system ended at that time, so I couldn’t check it. What’s the point of ending then?
‘Anyway, good luck is triggered!’
The moment I used the Bokbulbok skill on Peter-!
[Player ‘Horseboy’ used the skill [Acitve].]
[Calculating success probability…]
[Calculating the luck of player ‘Restrous Man’…]
[Calculation complete!]
[The skill [Active] Succeeds.]
[Check Peter Eline’s status window.]
‘Fuck?! I’m using my luck here?!’
To be honest, to be really honest, I thought there would be a boom. Isn’t it? Only 5%. In 20 attempts, there is only one chance of succeeding, and in 100 attempts, only five successes occur.
I thought, of course not.
But is this successful? I was afraid that I might have spent my whole life on luck.
‘But… What is this?’
I was surprised twice.
One is that there is a 5% chance of succeeding, and the other is…

“… How much?”
Peter Elaine was a lot crazier than I thought.
[Name: Peter Eline (Male/365 years old)]
…No, he was a crazy old man.
Elder Peter Elaine lived 12 times as much as I did, and outlived me by 5 years. Oh my god?!
“Do you have anything else to say?”
“Oh, no. Let’s go, old man.”
“Are you old?”
Peter tilted his head. The eyes looking at me seemed to say, ‘Why is that bastard acting like that all of a sudden?’
Eek!
“Oh, no. I’m going… No, I’m going. All the way, see you tomorrow… See you tomorrow!”
“…”
I quickly ran away from Peter’s, no, Peter the Elder’s store.
*****
“Huh? Doctor, where are you going?”
“I have an appointment. I’ll go first, so you guys can do everything and get off work.”
“Yes! Go in, Doctor!”
“…”
It was still only 3:00 PM, but Dr. Krumola was leaving early, and the assistants were overjoyed, though not showing it off. There was no one who didn’t like being able to leave work early.
So, the assistants did not notice that Dr. Crumola had left the lab without saying hello as usual.
“…”
Dr. Krumola’s face remained rigid throughout the drive. She even bit her lip or fingernails as if thinking of something.
Moments later, his car stopped on the hill where the windmill was turning. A man approached Dr. Crumola as he got out of the car.
“Dr. Krumola?”
“…”
“I’ve been waiting for you. I’ll take care of you. This way.”
I followed the man into the windmill. There was a laboratory under the windmill, and many people were busy working around the machine.
The man took the doctor to the shadow killer, a man who was drinking coffee leisurely alone.
“I’ve brought the doctor.”
“Really? Good job.”
“Yes then…”
When the man disappeared, Shadow Killer put down the coffee he was holding and greeted Dr. Crumola.
“I was waiting. I was worried that you might reject my offer.”
“…”
Dr. Krumola didn’t answer and glared at the Shadow Killer.
Dr. Krumola pondered over whether or not to accept the Shadow Killer’s offer for a surprisingly long time.
Clearly, the proposal he gave was a sweet temptation that the researcher could not refuse. However, he could not easily accept the offer because the doctor was well aware of the notoriety of the widely known Shadow Killer.
Wouldn’t it be thrown away when the research is over? Could it be that the Shadow Killer is abusing my research for crimes?
Numerous thoughts made the doctor hesitate.
But in the end, Dr. Crumola had no choice but to accept the Shadow Killer’s offer.
It wasn’t tempting. It was because of the threat of the Shadow Killer.
A knife was not stuck by his bedside, and his wife’s hair was delivered to the house. That day, her wife came to get her hair cut at her salon, and somehow she knew that the Shadow Killer had collected the hair and sent it to her.
Traces of the Shadow Killer were even found around his children and grandchildren.
And what’s even more surprising is that the person who finds the most traces of him has always been Dr. Krumola. His family didn’t even know that the Shadow Killer was nearby.
In the end, Dr. Krumola couldn’t hold back any longer.
This was an outright threat from the Shadow Killer that if he didn’t accept my offer, he would hurt his family.
“…Don’t do that again in the future. If you wander around my family one more time, then I’ll notify the Hero Association right away.”
“Yes? What are you talking about?”
“Hey, hey…!”
When the Shadow Killer made a fuss, Dr. Crumola was enraged.
“I’m going to get away with it now…”
“Ah, ah. My subordinates must have disturbed the doctor’s heart with excessive loyalty. I’m sorry for this. Tsk. I told you not to touch the doctor and his family… I will speak well to my subordinates again.”
“…”
Dr. Krumola seriously contemplated whether he should report this fact to the Hero Association even now. However, regret was too late. He had already put his foot in too deep.
Besides, even if you go back now and report it to the Hero Association, your family will be found as cold corpses.
Between the hero and the villain, the one who moved first was always the villain.
“Now, come over here. Doesn’t it look just like the doctor’s lab? Sanctuary certainly put a lot of thought into it for you. How much did you spend to get the same equipment… I’m broke haha.”
“…”
The Shadow Killer smirked and showed the doctor the laboratory he had prepared. As he said, it was exactly the same as the doctor’s lab at Sanctuary.
“If you need anything more, feel free to tell me. I’ll get it right away. It’s for our dreams, but is the money worth it? Oh! And these are the ‘people’ I mentioned last time.”
“What is this…!”
Seeing the direction the Shadow Killer was pointing at, Dr. Crumola widened her eyes. Inside the iron bars, people of various ages and genders were confined like animals.
“Gee, what are you doing?!”
“Yes? What are you doing? They are, of course, test subjects for clinical trials.”
“But that…!”
“Dr. Crumola.”
“…”
The Shadow Killer took a step closer to the doctor. As the featureless black face drew closer, Dr. Krumola took a step back. It was as if darkness had approached, and fear sprouted in one side of his heart.
“Coming here means that the doctor accepted my proposal? Then let’s throw away things that hinder the development of science, such as human rights and ethics. How can science develop only when we care about such boring things? Huh? Our Dreams aren’t far away. There’s a straight road to go, so why go around?”
“That, that’s…”
“Dr. Krumola. Let’s only think of our dreams. Let’s only see our dreams. Your conscience? It’s mine from the moment I came here. I’ll take all your swearing, so just think about completing your research.”
“… I’ll start researching today.”
“Okay. Now, these people are the talents I picked and picked. Think of them as assistants to the doctor and play with them as much as you like. Or you can use them as test subjects. There are a lot of people, doctor.”
“…”
We are always tempted by the devil.
Despite countless worries, most people eventually accept the devil’s temptation. Because the devil’s temptation is that sweet.
Dr. Krumola belonged to most people.
“The ‘experiment’ is…”
“Yes?”
“If possible, please use a child as young as possible. For the initial test subject, the younger the better.”
“… Huhuhu. Yes. Let’s do that. I will prepare a test subject as a child.”
The Shadow Killer smiled at Dr. Krumola’s request for a human, or rather, a test subject.
The two rode in the same boat.
*****
“No, what’s going on?”
I couldn’t hide my absurdity when I visited the cafe to calm my surprised mind.
“365 years old? Is that possible? Isn’t that enough to make you a monster?”
The face value of Peter Eline, who is in his early twenties, was actually 365 years old. No, besides, his psychic power is a whopping level 10! An S-class psychic!
I used the psychic analyzer to bring back Peter Eline’s psychic powers that I had identified earlier.

“The Tailor of Reverse Heaven…”
It was a superpower with a name that seemed to have a lot of secrets hidden just by looking at the name. I closed my eyes while checking the nature of this psychic power.
‘Yeah, how can I understand up to level 5 characteristics? However…’
Why does the word [Monster] Suddenly appear in the 6th to 9th level talents?
Obviously, in this worldview, there are monsters besides supernatural powers. But until now I’ve never seen a monster. This was because the monster’s spawning point was outside the Dark City.
I don’t know why the monsters exist outside the Dark City, or why they don’t attack the Dark City. However, it was only known externally that it was because the [Monster Hunter Association], Which existed outside the Dark City, stopped monsters.
The exact reason could not be found no matter how much he searched the man in heat.
‘[Monster creation (Active)], And [Body Foundation (Active)].’
Lv.9 [Monster Creation (Active)]: You can create existing monsters or new monsters that have not been known until now using monster by-products. If you run out of by-products, the skill cannot be used. Reuse time – 5 years
Lv.10 [Body Foundation (Active)]: You can replace your body using byproducts of monsters or humans. There are no side effects from body replacement, and physical abilities increase depending on the material and grade of the used by-product. Reuse time – 10 years
For now, I know why Peter can live so long. He must have constantly changed his body and even his head using his body tailoring skills.
This is a violation of the rules set by the heavens, an action worthy of [Reversal of heaven].
But what I still don’t understand is why a monster would intervene here. And create monsters there?
‘This seems to have approached a hidden secret related to this world?’
Somehow, I became interested in the story because it seemed to come out with a more interesting story than I thought. A smile was drawn on his lips.
It was totally unexpected, but it didn’t change the fact that Peter had to work for me after all.
I will definitely use him to make costumes for my girls. That way, you can take care of your safety and take care of yourself.
“… Ah.”
Then I suddenly realized that I had made a mistake.
The reason I was overbearing with Peter was because I thought he was younger than me. But when I turned the cards over, Peter was older than me, and very much older than me. Isn’t that about your great-great-grandfather’s grandfather?
I got it wrong from the first button.
“Fuck?”
Should I go buy some hangwa tomorrow?
