Chapter 440 – 440. Mercury 1
I know what that black sphere is.
A vengeful spirit that can be seen in the Phase Out world and stays for 15 minutes when someone dies.
A guy who shoots out tentacle-like things while glaring viciously at the person who killed him.
But that guy is invisible in this world. He’s definitely a guy who should only exist in the Phase Out world.
But how did he come to this world? This is all. Also, how fast are those tentacles? It was an incredible speed.
The current location is China… I won’t be able to chase you this far.
No matter how fast you go, there’s no way you can get this far in the 15 minutes it lasts.
I think so, but… It is inevitable that you will continue to be shocked.
Terrible murderous intent. Malice to catch and kill me.
It’s a type of feeling that you can never get used to. I feel like I’m going crazy just looking at it… How do you get used to that?
Anyway, the guy in the black shirt used his skills near the dead guy. And that black sphere popped out into this world.
No matter how you look at it, it is a skill. Skill. And when his head started to turn a little, I could roughly predict what kind of skill it would be.
Abyss.
That skill from earlier is probably Abyss.
A skill that requires a phase out first. Skills at Tier 8.
It doesn’t seem like a bad skill. It’s the perfect skill for revenge.
The problem is that the conditions are extremely strict? First, it’s a skill that can only be used if someone dies, right? I can’t use it that often.
But if it’s the Yakuza guys… It seems like a pretty good skill.
Because they have a lot of gang members.
If a member of the organization dies, the person who killed him can also take revenge from the abyss, so it is not a loss-making business.
And… You can use any number of expedients or abuses.
Anyone can die. If the opponent uses something like an area skill, you can just push anyone in there, right?
And right into the abyss. Then, no matter what, due to the nature of the vengeful spirit attacking the person who killed it, it will attack the person using the wide-area skill.
No… Will they attack me? Is it based on the cause of death? Or should we look at the fundamental cause of death?
I don’t know that much. Anyway… It’s a skill that won’t cause any damage even if you take one. I don’t need it though.
As I keep my head calm, I can at least calm down.
Ha. Today I am truly a terrible person. Really… It’s a mess and full of mistakes.
I know better than anyone else why this happened. There are three causes.
In a hurry. Caught off guard, and wide area skills.
There was no need to rush like this. We should have caught everyone in the hotel and ended it there.
Now that I have the information, I should have gathered information more systematically and proceeded with the work in secret.
I became arrogant without even realizing it. No matter how many skills I had, I thought they were beneath me.
In the end, I only have a lot of job skills… The only things I know how to do are voyeurism and kidnapping.
Plus, it’s a wide range skill. It was a mistake to presumptuously confront one another.
The problem is that after obtaining a powerful wide-area skill, you show up and fight to use it.
But is that unavoidable? For something like a thunderstorm, you have to stand there for 5 minutes.
Ha. What is this? If you fail, you should accept it calmly and think about doing better.
You’re making meaningless self-deprecation and excuses. Like an idiot.
There is no need to get any uglier.
I wish I hadn’t died. Things got a little complicated, but I didn’t die anyway, so it’s okay.
I looked at the clock and 15 minutes had already passed. I have to go back and check the situation… I’m scared to move at a moment’s notice.
Just in case, you should prepare your mind before going.
I teleported to Busan, prepared to use Blink at any time to escape.
Fortunately, no tentacles suddenly fly out.
I look at the cruise with clairvoyance from a distance, but I can’t see anything.
I use Phase Out and look, but there is nothing. In the end, they all left, the vengeful spirits that disappeared.
Release the phase out again, come out, and cover yourself with buffs.
Phew. Okay. It was a draw. It was a draw. I neither won nor lost. It’s a draw.
Where did they go? Did he go towards Lethe? Did you go back to Japan?
There are many things that are a bit questionable.
Why on earth did you come on a cruise? It doesn’t make sense that among all those guys, not a single one has a gate.
Is it also Gao? No. Honestly, isn’t it a little more difficult to come through the gate?
Why are you taking such a hard time on the cruise? Did you want to show off your cruise?
Things I don’t understand. Well, you don’t have to force yourself to understand. Because they and I live in different worlds.
First, I sat down in a suitable spot in the port and watched the cruise ship.
There will be quite a lot of coins down there. Of course, since it’s under the water, it’ll be hard for them to come pick it up, right?
Does that mean I should leave it alone? I don’t think so.
If I wait, won’t they show up? Then wouldn’t it be possible to target that time and attack once more?
The abyss sucks, but… You don’t have to kill me, right? Even though it may be inconvenient and difficult, you can put them to sleep one by one, kidnap them, and kill them all at once from afar.
Then the abyss is meaningless. Because I don’t have any skills that can cause instant death.
As I look at it so vaguely, I feel tired.
Come to think of it, you were hit with a knife earlier, right? The recovery potion was so effective that I forgot about it.
I just teleported to Minhee’s office.
Even though it’s quite late, Minhee hasn’t fallen asleep yet and is waiting for me.
“Did it go well?”
He smiles brightly at me. I approached her and placed her chin on my shoulder.
“Hug me.”
“Oh my. This is my first time seeing you acting so foolish.”
And then she hugs me tightly.
Ah. Good night. I feel at ease.
Is it because he is older than I? I am not ashamed to tell Minhee all of my failures.
Like she said, he must be a fool. I want to be comforted now.
“Come here.”
Minhee takes me to the room.
And then she took off her top. My complicated mind is completely emptied as my heart fills my eyes.
He puts me on the bed and lays down next to me.
Then he hugged my head tightly and spoke softly.
“What happened that made you look so confused? Tell me. I will listen.”
The smell of flesh and a slight lingering scent of perfume. And a whisper that is nice to hear.
I rambled about everything that happened today.
Seunghee, Mina, Se-Ah, and Anna didn’t mention their names or genders, but just spoke appropriately… Since she’s a smart girl, she probably already figured it out.
Anyway, by the time I finished talking about it… I fell asleep without realizing it.
If you wake up and see an unfamiliar ceiling, you will feel embarrassed.
I’m sure it’s not just me. Everyone will do that. But you won’t be as embarrassed as I am.
I am very picky when it comes to sleep. No, I’m not picky because I want to be picky, it’s just that I suffer in my sleep.
Anyway, at that age, falling asleep in an unfamiliar place is like a fantasy to me.
But it happened again. It happened naturally even though I didn’t intend it.
You can tell right away that this is Minhee’s room.
That’s why it was even more surprising. I was able to sleep naturally next to Minhee.
It looks like dawn has just broken outside. If that is the sun that has risen now… Unless I sleep for more than a day, I only sleep for a few hours.
However, the body is light. My head feels refreshed and my mind is clear.
And, the woman sleeping next to me. Jeong Min-hee.
The upper body is slightly covered by a blanket. Her breasts are slightly visible as she is not wearing anything.
I quietly removed the blanket. The appearance of breasts that strongly assert their presence even when lying down is very pretty.
I stare blankly at her face and chest.
As the morning sun rises, her appearance slowly begins to shine.
A body that begins to resemble the color of the sun. Chest. Around the neck.
Ah. If it stays like this a little longer, the sunlight will dazzle you.
I tilted my body a little to create a shadow on her face.
Good. This way, you won’t wake up dazzled by the sunlight. I feel a little relieved now.
And then I look at Minhee again.
She is older than me, but she doesn’t look that way at all.
Cookie. Sensual woman. A woman who is alluring even when she speaks and breathes.
That’s exactly how I feel right now. Feeling like a commoner looking at a high-ranking aristocratic wife?
Why is this woman doing this to me? The thought comes to mind.
Just a few hours ago, I was muttering to her about the work I had done as if I was confessing to her.
Right now, it’s so funny to see myself just staring at her naked upper body in fascination.
A simple bastard. Well, what kind of man would look away in a situation like this?
What kind of person am I to her?
What kind of person is she to me?
From a woman worth killing to an attractive woman. From an attractive woman to a woman you want to care about.
And now she has become an indispensable person.
Greed that arises in the heart. It’s already monopolized, but… I want to be more exclusive.
Therefore… I want to keep it by my side. Furthermore, I did four, so why not five?
But it’s a little difficult. This is not a problem that can be solved just by my greed.
There are so many things to take in here and there. We need to listen to the thoughts of Seunghee, Mina, SeAh, and Anna.
And she is now managing the castle. Above all, I have no idea what she is thinking.
It’s just a fantasy that only happens in my head. Besides, there is no way that it will be good just because it is kept together unconditionally.
While thinking about that to myself, I completely emptied my mind.
Let’s think about that later. There is no need to think about that now.
For now, just watching Minhee sleep is enough. It seems like a waste to even wake him up.
I looked at it silently and turned to detect it.
It wasn’t intentional, it was just a detection that became a habit.
And I discovered something strange.
“Minhee. Wake up.”
I quickly wake up Minhee. When I wake her up, she immediately wakes up.
“What? Why? What’s going on?”
It happened so suddenly that I felt a little sorry, but there are more urgent matters now.
“Is there any need for anyone to be outside at this time in the castle?”
“Outside…? No.”
“Right? Then… What are those guys? Stay for a while. I’ll be out and back soon.”
Minhee hurriedly gets dressed at my words. It feels like the sunlight has faded by half.
Damn. What kind of bastards are interrupting my precious time? Just pretend it’s not a big deal. I’ll make it a no-brainer.
Phase out. Release after passing through the wall. Flying, becoming invisible. Reflect. And Blink.
I went up to the sky and used clairvoyance. Now, thanks to clairvoyance, I can see everything clearly, no matter how far away.
In terms of distance, it is quite far away. Almost over 500 meters? If it’s far, it’s far. If it’s close, it’s close.
Humans gathered in such a place. They are looking through binoculars from inside a 7-story building.
No matter how you look at it, they are not doing it with good intentions.
They’re spying on us from such a distance, and there’s no way they have good intentions.
The reason they failed was probably because they didn’t know my detection range would be this wide.
When all passives are completed, the detection range is 200 meters at Tier 10 and 250 meters at Tier 11.
I guess you thought it would be safe if it reached about 500 meters, right? I let my guard down. Just like me yesterday.
I immediately blinked and used a phase out.
When I arrived right on top of the building where they were, I immediately went down through the ceiling to see what kind of guys they were.
I wondered if I could tell anything by looking, but I saw two familiar faces. Okay. I know who these guys are.
These guys are the third generation of Lete’s tycoons. Those damn bodyguards.
From what I remember, these are the guys I spied on with Cruise… Why are you here spying on the castle?
I distance myself for a moment and think carefully.
Why are these guys here? And suddenly at the castle.
And… It didn’t take long to guess that.
The third generation of the chaebol. That’s because you brought him here.
Maybe… It seems like it had a transmitter or something on its body.
Seo Min-jun also wears something like that, right? It’s quite possible.
The problem was bringing him here.
Did they come all the way here looking for the target of their security? From Busan to here overnight?
My refreshing mood suddenly worsened.
The fact that these guys came here is the same as saying that everyone in Lethe knows this location.
Of course, these guys could have acted on their own.
However, since the next successor is at stake, there is no way he would be so lax.
It’s getting annoying.
What I’m saying is that catching and killing all of these guys isn’t the end.
No, it went well anyway. Those Lethe guys were also opponents that had to be eliminated in the end, so we can use this opportunity to finish them off.
Let’s be careful this time. They also have eight skills, so you must not let down your guard.
Besides, this is in front of the castle. There are many people to protect.
I’ve never done anything like this before… I can’t help it, it’s the seed I sowed. I have to solve it.
