252) The Chaser(151)
“Hyang-ah! Hyang-ah! Here I am! Come back to me, Hyang-ah!”
“Monster! You are a monster! You are by no means human! A monster in human clothing!”
An ideal world looking for thyme and a cannibal who dwells in thyme’s body and calls me a monster.
The psychedelic duo screamed at the top of their voices, as if trying to guess who had the loudest voice.
“… Seo, Seo-Bye.”
“Yes, grace.”
Eun-hye, who looked at the cannibal who occupied the body of Lee Sang-gye and Thyme-hyang with disbelief eyes, called me.
“You’re really… Not my mother?”
“Yes. That’s an S-class villain, a cannibal who took over your mother’s body.”
“Ha, but!”
I couldn’t believe it, so I could feel the urgency in Eun-hye’s face as she looked at me. But that was reality.
‘Tsubeol. Because of Lee Sang-gye and the cannibal, I ruined the best prepared event.’
Originally, my plan was to show thyme to Eun-hye and Yuri, and make them shed tears of emotion.
However, everything was ruined because of the cannibal who took over the body of Lee Sang-gye and Baekni-hyang.
The first time anything has a big impact, so if I show you a living thyme, you’ll be moved, but you won’t be impressed that much. Maybe the thyme I show you is also a fake.
“But Seobang-nim! That bastard, the cannibal, is definitely dead! That’s right! Seobang-nim killed him himself!”
“Yes, I killed him.”
“But how can you say that my mother is a cannibal!”
“This…Yes I’ll have to admit, it’s my mistake.”
“Thread… Demand?”
“Yes. A mistake. I should have killed the cannibal and obliterated its soul, but I didn’t.”
When a person dies, the soul leaves the body and becomes part of the cycle of reincarnation. However, if you have deep resentment or worry about those left behind, there are often cases where you do not belong to the circle of reincarnation and remain in the present world as a soul.
Thyme and the other spirits who had been occupying the mansion until I bought it were the case.
I thought that since the cannibal had died feeling extreme fear and pain, she would belong to the circle of reincarnation, just as his soul escaped.
However, the cannibal demon must have been so resentful that he was beaten to death by me, so he chose not to belong to the circle of reincarnation and to remain in the present world.
A cannibal demon who wandered the present world, especially the family in which he died, found a body with an empty soul and entered it. That was the body of Thyme Hyang that the ideal world had protected until now.
If I had dealt with the spirit of the cannibal demon at that time, this would not have happened.
So this can be seen as an incident created by my mistake, the obsession of the ideal world, and the tenacity of the cannibal.
“Ah, ah… Black! Mother…”
Eunhye dropped to her knees as if she had finally accepted the reality at my calm response. And started to weep. Seeing my woman sad made my heart ache.
“…”
‘Is Yuri… Okay?’
Unlike Eun-hye’s, Yuri’s reaction was markedly different. Eun-hye was shedding tears, but Yuri did not show any reaction. Is it because it shocked me so much?
“Yuri, are you okay?”
“… Yes? Oh, yes. It’s okay.”
Yuri fell on the floor with her bitter face on her face and looked at her grace pouring out tears.
“If I… Had had a good time with her mother… And had that happy memory, I would have been sad like her sister, right?”
“…Maybe.”
“I don’t know what I’m supposed to look like now. Even when my father told me he had brought her mother back… I honestly didn’t feel much. It’s just like that… That was it. I wasn’t happy, I wasn’t sad, I was just plain indifferent.”
“…”
“West.”
“Huh.”
“Is there something wrong with me…?”
Yuri was worried that there might be something wrong with her, as she didn’t feel much emotion when she saw her reanimated mother. So I shook my head.
“No problem. You’re fine.”
“But I…”
“If other people were like you, they would have acted like you. It would have been strange, awkward, and embarrassing. But there’s nothing wrong with that. Because you and your mother have no memories other than blood.”
“…”
“Memories can be built up from now on. If it’s awkward, we can get closer from now on. In the end, Baek Ri-hyang and you are mother and daughter. Because they are so kind and kind people, you will definitely become closer like other mothers and daughters, no, than other mothers and daughters.”
“Yes?”
Yuri, who did not understand my meaning, looked at me with her puzzled eyes. But I didn’t explain further, just smiled and hugged her shoulders. This is a foreshadowing of meeting the real thyme soon.
‘Anyway…’
Now, the only thing left to do is to deal with the two men and women, no, two guys who are slowly talking loudly.
‘For now, I’m sure to kill the cannibals…’
Cannibalism cannot be forgiven. He is a wicked chew of the past life (?) And even the innocent people and even the kids.
Even if he had already died once, that was a sin to die for, but he even tried to eat Yuri.
‘I’ll give you hell, a cannibal.’
There’s a very nice torture chamber set up just for him. There is a passenger named Cthulhu in the torture chamber, but there is enough space for even a cannibal.
‘The ideal world… Can be left alone.’
Lee Sang-gye is a guy who doesn’t have a single favorite corner, but he has no intention of killing him with my own hands. After all, he is the father of Eun-hye and Yuri.
If Eun-hye and Yuri no longer consider Lee Sang-gye as their father, they would take care of him in a neat and hidden place, but the two nice women worry about him even though they heard severe verbal abuse. Bloodlines are so tough.
“Hyanga! Hyanga! Hyangaaaaa!”
And the ideal world, whose mentality was destroyed, was already broken without me having to kill it. He will self-destruct even if left alone.
“I’m here with you for a while. I’ll take care of it and come back soon.”
“Seobang. My father…”
“Don’t worry. I won’t touch a single hair.”
He was worried that I would kill the ideal world, so he smiled and reassured me. Then, he passed the ideal world and approached the cannibal.
“You monster… Ah, ah… Oh, don’t come! Don’t come, you monster! What the hell are you doing wrong! Why do you want to kill me when you’ve already killed me!”
“Wow… How did you end up like that?”
“What, what?”
“What the hell kind of life have you led to truly believe that you didn’t do anything wrong?”
There was no lie or shame in the eyes of the cannibal who complained of injustice. Seriously, he didn’t know what he was guilty of.
“Well, that’s okay. It doesn’t matter how you got into that state. I’m not really curious. Let’s finish this.”
“S-No! I don’t want to die! I don’t want to die!”
“Oh yeah? Then don’t die. I won’t kill you as you wish.”
“… What?”
I said with a refreshing smile at the cannibal who looked at me with disbelief eyes.
“I will never kill you until you tell me to.”
“Ah, ah, ah…”
Perhaps understanding her meaning, the cannibal trembled in fear and crawled on her floor. I approached him and held out his hand.
“Don’t touch Hyang-i!”
“Huh?”
At that time, the ideal world came running and swung a blood-soaked sword. What is this kid
He raised his hand and took the sword. It was as sharp as a blood-soaked sword, but it did not scratch my palm.
“Does he look like thyme to you?”
“Shut up! Do you think I don’t know that you’re playing strange tricks on me!”
“Her…”
“Die! You are the source of evil! You must die! Don’t even think about touching Hyang-i! Die!”
“…”
Seeing the ideal world ignoring reality, I felt sorry for him rather than thinking he was stupid.
I would have wanted to meet Baekrihyang once again. I would have wanted to face thyme once again. I would have wanted to talk to Thyme once again and walk hand in hand with her. Like any couple in love, they would have wanted to spend a normal day and close their eyes together.
However, his wish did not come true in the end.
The thyme he thought he had revived was someone else, a diabolical cannibal.
The shock he must have received the moment he confirmed the truth with his own eyes must have been beyond imagination. To the point where my mind completely collapsed.
In the end, Lee Sang-gye did not accept the truth and chose to ignore it.
He decided to believe that he had revived the thyme, but that I had manipulated him into believing that I had revived the cannibal.
“Ideal world. Stop accepting the truth. Nothing will change if you ignore it. You failed.”
“Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!!!”
The ideal world screamed and ran out of control. At this moment, he has surpassed his limits.
“Here’s to cool off for a bit.”
“Oh, no!”
“Let go of that hand!”
I captured the abnormal world with a telekinesis, but he broke the limit of 10 levels and broke his telekinetic power within 1 second.
But one second was enough.
Until I pulled out the soul of the cannibal that dwelled in Thyme’s body and returned to Grace and Yuri.
– Aaaaagh!
Dump-!
Thyme’s body, whose soul had been pulled out, fell to the floor. And the spirit of the cannibal that had been dwelling in that body fell into the inner world where Cthulhu was.
“Ma’am!”
As her thyme body collapsed, the Ideal World stopped her attack and ran to her. She didn’t bother to stop him.
“Madam! Calm down! Hyang-ah!”
“Let’s go home, boys.”
“Ha, but my father…”
“What he needs is not comfort, but time to accept reality. Let him be alone.”
“… Yes, Mr. West.”
“… Yes.”
I took Eunhye and Yuri and returned home using my non-frost psychic powers.
“Hyangah! This is not it, this is not it! Please, please open your eyes! Open your eyes!”
The ideal world held on to the soulless body until we disappeared and screamed in agony.
