Chapter 521 – 521. San Francisco 1
As expected, I feel at ease because I have finished all the complicated tasks.
A most peaceful morning. I am so grateful to feel refreshed when I wake up. A leisurely day with nothing to rush.
All you have to do is fly for a few hours and take a quick look at Haruka, right? Anyway, I don’t have to go to Suwon for a while.
Perform detection habitually. Seunghee and Seah in their respective rooms. And the one outside is probably Mina.
Anna is no more. Is it because of the bleeding skill?
“What are you doing?”
When I go to Seunghee’s room, she plays with her smartphone with an expressionless face, muttering to herself, and then smiles at me.
“Ah. Unlocking skill.”
“Ah. Are you using a smartphone? Is it intermediate level?”
“Yes.”
“But are you starting to become skilled in the morning like this?”
“Let me do it a little bit. That’s better.”
“Yes. That’s a good attitude. Oh, by the way. Yesterday… I was grateful.”
As I spoke, Seunghee looked at me with a cat-like face.
“Hmm. I’m really grateful, right? With my bare mouth?”
“Oh my. What should I repay for this?”
“Hmm. Then come and give me a deep kiss.”
“Huh? This is a reward for me?”
Then he approached Seunghee.
Seunghee puts down her smartphone and wraps her arms around my neck. Their lips touch and their tongues intertwine.
A kiss that lasted for a moment. Ah. It’s enough to make me feel hot in the morning.
“What is this?”
Meanwhile, Seunghee touches my things.
“Uh oh. Then I can’t stand it since morning.”
“Okay. I can’t do that. I shouldn’t touch it.”
When Seunghee withdraws her hand, I feel disappointed. Tsk. I can’t help it. Let’s take it easy.
“Are you going to stay in your room?”
“Yes. For now.”
“Okay. I’m going out?”
“Neng.”
I leave Seunghee’s room and worry in front of Seah’s room. Go in? Roll it?
“Don’t come in.”
A voice heard in the room. What. Did you use detection?
Open the door right away and go in. Se-Ah glares at me as I enter the room.
“What? Are you chewing my words?”
As expected, I ignored him and sat down next to Se-ah, who was half-lying on the bed.
“Are we going to fight?”
“I’m sorry.”
When I started with an apology, SeAh kept her mouth shut.
“You must be angry. But I don’t know how to let you out.”
“No sense. No sincerity. What are you trying to do?”
Se-Ah grumbles. I look at her like that and say.
“Shall I give you a hug?”
Se-ah looks dumbfounded at my words.
“Get out. Get out. Get out.”
She says, pushing my ass with her foot. Hmm. I can’t help it. Well, there’s no way it can be resolved by rushing in like this.
“Okay. If you need anything… Let me know.”
“What I need is for you to leave.”
So I left the room. Well, where are you talking to me? Honestly, I’m thankful even if it’s just this much.
As soon as you come out of the bunker, you hear a loud crashing sound.
A popping sound, a loud crash, and the sound of ice breaking. Mina is destroying the world around her.
“Is everything going well?”
“Ah, brother.”
Mina smiles at me. She is a truly grateful woman. For sure… It’s normal for her to be as angry as Se-ah, but Mina doesn’t look that way.
“Uh… Sorry. And thank you.”
Mina looks straight at me. The warm wind of a spring morning gently flutters Mina’s hair.
It really looks like a pictorial. Oh my god. How can a child like this look at me so lovingly right in front of me?
“Still, I was touched. I thought I could never say anything. Then I would have thought it was my mistake and moved on. With a little doubt left in the back of my mind.”
She thought Mina’s words were a little scary. It’s a good thing she spoke honestly.
“That doesn’t mean you did a good job, you know?”
“Huh? Oh, of course. I also have a conscience.”
Was it there? Honestly, I’m not confident. If you look closely, you might find at least one worn-out piece.
Even though I have such a miserable conscience, Mina looks on with a smile.
Ah. I’m overflowing with minutes. I don’t know if it’s okay to do this.
“But.”
“Huh?”
“Fascinating. I’ll try it too.”
“Huh?”
“You used a charm on Se-Ah yesterday, right?”
“Yeah… I did, right?”
“You didn’t feel any difference, right?”
“Oh, I got caught, but I wasn’t sure.”
“I have a guess. Try it out.”
I look at Mina for a moment and use her skill.
“Fascination.”
It was time for Mina. The fascination was definitely there.
Mina… She looked at me and smiled. But that is not the unnatural laughter of a woman under charm.
A light, gentle laugh. A beauty that is qualitatively different from a forced smile.
“I see. I was right.”
“Huh?”
“Se-Ah was already in love with her brother as much as she was in love with him. And me too.”
“Ah…”
“Would you like to release me now?”
“Yes. Nullified.”
The fascination with Mina has disappeared.
She blinks her eyes and feels the change that has occurred in herself. She and then she laughs. The same smile she had just made.
“The skill wasn’t that big of a deal. At least I think I won the charm.”
Mina’s confident words made her heart feel painful.
I feel like I’m going to cry.
Under. What the. Spring breeze, you bastard. Are they still moving things like fine dust? Why do my eyes sting so much? Really.
While I was being impressed by Mina, Anna flew in from far away.
Me and Mina both looked at her, and I was surprised compared to Mina who was calm.
“Huh!? Anna? What is that blood? Ah. Is it animal blood?”
“That’s right, Sungcheol. But… Did you cry?”
“Huh? What are you talking about?”
“No. Because my eyes are moist.”
“Ah. Because of the wind. I guess something got into my eyes.”
Ugh. I didn’t even know I could use such an outdated expression.
Oh my god. I didn’t know it before, but when it happens, I actually use this expression. Ugh.
“Are you here with bleeding skills?”
I ask Anna to distract her.
My attempt to sneak away is clearly visible, but Anna accepts it with a smile.
“Yes. It’s a hassle. Having to search the mountains to get skilled.”
“Hmm. I see. I guess so. But… I need to change my clothes quickly.”
“Right? Someone would think I was a vampire or a witch, right?”
Anna’s dress, sleeves, front and trousers. It’s a little creepy to see her covered in blood.
It’s fortunate that we live in a world where blood disappears when you kill someone, otherwise she would have looked like a woman who just returned from a series of murders.
“But.”
“Yes.”
“Bleeding… Is it a skill worth learning?”
“Well, I have my doubts too. I’m learning it because of Death Wind… But I don’t know why I need this skill.”
“What is the effect? Exactly?”
“If you hit the opponent… You’ll bleed. That’s the end.”
“The end? That’s it? Is it just a dragon killed by excessive bleeding?”
“When I was a low-level person, it was just flowing, but now when I use it, it’s thick and gushes out at first.”
“Uh… Really? So that’s what you look like. Are you a classy person now?”
“Yes.”
“If you become a master, will you bleed to death from every pore in your body?”
“Ugh…”
Mina covers her body and trembles as if she is scared.
Anna looks at Mina like that and smiles and tells us.
“Then I’ll go in to change.”
“Uh. Okay. Ah. Then I guess I’ll have to do some business too.”
At my words, Mina looks at me with her puzzled eyes.
“Aren’t you going to eat? Let’s eat, right?”
“I’ll just take it out of the closet and eat it. Then, I’ll be right back.”
“I understand. Be careful.”
Mina and Anna waved their hands, and I immediately teleported away.
In the middle of the sea. The remaining distance to the United States is less than 2,000 kilometers.
If you fly diligently today and tomorrow, you can set foot on American soil… I plan to step on it today.
The original plan was to manipulate the memories of Seong-yeon and Shin-young and travel with them from the west, all the way to the east.
I learned about the American situation, maintained good relationships with the women, and learned skills… I took the opportunity and had sex.
But what happened yesterday changed my thoughts.
I’m just thinking of moving to New York, where Seongyeon used to be with her son.
Whether it’s finding her son or finding a Yankee boyfriend, I’ll just let her go.
It feels a little uncomfortable to let go of women who have negative feelings toward me, but I think that can be resolved with continuous monitoring.
Of course, it could be a problem if it wanders around, but if that doesn’t work, you can at least attach a transmitter.
You can probably get that much if you go to SG.
I feel quite complacent, but… I don’t want to touch it anymore.
And the reason I told them everything I did was not a big deal.
To make you feel vengeful.
If you have that kind of revenge, you will be able to survive well in America, where you don’t know what will happen.
Well, will and ability are not proportional, so you might get caught by someone soon and become a Korean bitch…
You have to go there to find out.
Anyway, it flies quickly towards American soil.
America. Land of opportunity. What on earth happened to that land?
Actually, this is what I’m most curious about. What happened to Cheonjo-guk after the world collapsed?
It is America in name and appearance, but I think it did not fall for nothing.
Okay. In Russia, you can see ballet and the crazy dogs are still alive, but that wouldn’t be the case in America.
Ten hour flight.
It wasn’t easy, but I did it. 7pm Korean time. But here, it feels like deep dawn.
And a very familiar bridge in the distance.
That… Is it the Golden Gate Bridge or something? So, this is San Francisco.
Nice. You’ve come to the right place. There is no big difference between the destination and the destination.
Actually, I chose LA as my destination, but… If you’re talking about San Francisco, there isn’t much difference.
About 500 kilos? It’s simple.
Phew. But looking at the American soil, it seems like something great has been accomplished.
No, actually, it’s a great thing. In a world where the world is ruined and there are no airplanes, what kind of crazy person would fly across the Pacific?
It must be great. I don’t think there’s anyone other than me who did something like this.
Anyway, since I arrived like this, I have to set foot on American soil. It approaches straight towards land.
The American continent is slowly approaching. Turn on the detection and approach the coast at dawn.
However… Fuck. What is this? Is the detection broken?
Presence. I feel an enormous amount of presence. This… Does that make sense?
A place where you can see the Golden Gate Bridge right in front of you. A residential area with a lot under your sight.
And the signs can be felt in every house.
This is absurd. No. There are so many presences?
First, go down to the ground. It was an absurd first landing, but there was no time to worry about it.
A residential area lined up neatly in front of you. Every block is full of houses.
Not all houses were occupied. Looking closer, there are quite a few empty houses.
But there were more houses with people in them. Does this work? Is this right?
No. Of course, I’ve seen SG City and Jjangga, so it’s not that shocking to see so many people left.
But the atmosphere is different. Something… It’s calm.
It’s not because it’s dawn. Here is… So it seems like nothing happened.
I have that feeling. A sense of peace that has continued from the past to the present. A tranquility that has never been threatened. Something like that.
It shouldn’t be like this. You can check it yourself.
Once detected. The presence of three people felt in the nearest house.
Use clairvoyance to look inside. A couple sleeping in the bedroom. A boy sleeping in a room on the second floor.
A typical American house seen in dramas and movies. Just that feeling.
I used Phase Out and went inside the house. And release.
Turn on all the buffs and quietly enter the couple’s bedroom.
Defeasance. And two sleeping rooms. Stay close and watch.
A brown-haired man with some flesh. As expected, a slightly chubby blonde woman.
Ah. Should I have come to a house with a younger woman? But since we’re already here, let’s do it.
Go straight to the woman’s side and read her memories. First… From yesterday’s memories.
A woman who woke her son up in the morning and prepared him a simple breakfast. Her husband left early. Soon after, the son also packs his bag and goes outside.
Listening to the radio… Radio? A woman who organizes the house. After simply cleaning the house, the woman drives her car to the supermarket.
Mart? A woman sighs while buying groceries. I guess there’s something I don’t like. That’s how she counts her money… Money?
The woman returned home. She listens to the radio again and waters the plants. The woman next door came after hearing the bell.
The two sit down and chat while drinking coffee. What is this. Is it a drama?
Skip skip skip. I quickly flip back.
A woman is already preparing dinner. Her husband comes back, her son comes back, we have dinner… What is this?
Am I seeing something wrong now? Surely this is a memory, whether it was yesterday or not. Memories of this woman. A day that actually happened.
What on earth did I see? This… Is the world ruined?
