The fact that the only person left in this space right now was Jeokcheongang was a very fortunate thing for me.
Because he already knew the truth about me, and he didn’t take the words I said in a trembling voice as the nonsense of some crazy person.
“······So, was that the last time?”
“yes. After waking up from the dream, well, as you know, Noya.”
Was it because of the shock of finally facing the truth?
Or did some change actually occur within me?
I don’t know the exact reason, but I felt extremely confused and had to struggle alone.
No, maybe even now.
“It’s a disaster. It’s literally a strange thing.”
Jeokcheongang, whose brain was as soft as a moan, looked at me with cautious eyes.
“why?”
“No, that. “Has anything changed?” “Has anything changed? Of course there is.” “What!”
Jeokcheongang’s startled cry.
I continued speaking, feeling my body becoming unpleasantly sticky with cold sweat that had not completely dried, and my whole body overflowing with energy.
“First of all, I feel dirty, but my physical condition is very good.”
Jeokcheongang swallowed his saliva.
“And?”
“It’s over.”
“······Is that all?”
“yes.”
Jeokcheongang looked at me with salty eyes and sighed.
“Yes, in the current situation, that would be better.”
I also secretly agreed with this opinion.
Even though I felt very dirty, nothing happened right away.
The bigger problem was what on earth this unknown phenomenon meant.
“Let me ask you a question, has something like this happened before?”
“There was none. “Not once from the beginning until now.”
After firmly answering Jeokcheon River’s question, I added:
“That’s why it feels even more strange. If this incident is a foreshadowing of something to happen in the future…”
“How words become seeds. “Don’t even say such unlucky words.”
“Seeds don’t necessarily have to be watered by people for them to sprout. “It is 100 times better to predict and prepare as much as possible.”
“······Even in this situation, there is no clear water flow.”
Jeokcheongang said that with a displeased expression, but he did not specifically deny my rebuttal.
Since he was an older man who could not be compared to me, he must have already known deep down.
What happens in the end is bound to happen somehow.
And that this incident is not just a coincidence.
“If from the beginning you and Jin Tae-kyung…damn it. I don’t know what to call this. “Yes, wouldn’t it make sense if his consciousness was mixed with that damn bastard?”
After a brief moment of silence, Jeokcheongang’s question came out, and after thinking about it for a moment, I quickly shook my head.
“Probably not. No, definitely not.”
“What is the basis for thinking that?”
“Because I had no memory from the beginning. “If the consciousness had been merged as Noya said, at least one very minor memory would have remained in order for the ghost to fit.”
Even now, I clearly remember the situation at that time.
When I first opened my eyes in Giru, I didn’t even know that Moorim was not a virtual reality game but another world.
I talked to Wolhwa without even knowing exactly who I was or where I was, and was able to get at least the bare minimum of information.
‘Of course, even that was such basic information that I had to lie to Jin Wi-kyung that my memory was wrong.’
If even a small fragment of memory had remained, I would have been able to adapt to this unfamiliar world much more quickly. Why, isn’t there something like that?
Like the main character in any web novel, he experiences a severe headache and absorbs memories that come flooding in like a flood.
But the difference between reality and fiction was heaven and earth.
What was given to me, who had just taken my first step, was a name similar to Hyundai.
And all that was left was a half-rotten body covered in vermilion.
Now that I think about it again, I’m so f*cking pissed. Anyway, the conclusion I came to is simple. The true nature of this world, which was nothing more than a fool, and my consciousness are completely separate.
No, it was separate.
At least until today, when I had that strange dream.
“Since you are so assertive, I understand. But the fact that the memory of that idiot appeared as a dream…
Blurred horse tail.
Jeokcheongang, who was staring at me with deeply sunken eyes, finally spoke.
“The consciousness of that damned bastard may have remained somewhere inside you from the beginning.” The moment I heard those words, I couldn’t help but sigh.
It was one of the hypotheses I was thinking about, but hearing it from someone else’s mouth is bound to have a different weight.
‘Damn it. ‘This isn’t like two families under one roof.’
I’m sure there was a time when I had doubts about this.
When some time had passed since I began living as Jin Tae-kyung of Taewon Jinga, it was precisely when I realized that this unfamiliar world was not a game but another reality.
Two worlds.
Two people living different lives with the same name.
Even if your head is made of iron, it is only natural to worry about it at least once.
Unless this body is a game character.
So what happened to the original owner of this body?
Unlike the remaining body, where is the soul of that idiot?
But at some point, I had no choice but to stop thinking deeply about this.
It was not easy to continue to hold on to unresolved problems, as the crisis that was approaching at every moment was not easy.
I just assumed that I would have disappeared as soon as I took over this body.
I think that maybe whoever made the junk capsule that brought me here would have found the result more desirable.
‘But, that wasn’t it?’
I don’t know what to say right now.
I stroked my stomach with an indescribable strange expression.
Until Jeokcheongang, who was silently looking at me like that, opened his mouth.
“I understand your complicated feelings, but why did you suddenly fall asleep while rubbing your stomach without even having a child? “What a furry little boy.”
“······No, it could be done inadvertently. “Why do you talk like that?”
Is this the fear of the media? When I thought there was something inside me, I instinctively reached for my stomach.
Muttering to myself that it was a side effect of watching too many infant-related CFs, I secretly moved my hand from my stomach to my chest and looked at the Jeokcheon River.
“Did something hit your chest this time? I’m so angry, huh? “Are you going crazy and getting hot?”
“······I just tried it.”
“Yes, even so, from the stomach to the chest. Where do you plan to touch next?” “The head.”
After hearing my answer, Jeokcheongang answered firmly.
“Don’t do it. You look like an idiot.”
“yes.”
I was already starting to feel regret, wondering why I was like this.
Jeokcheongang, who was watching me quickly retrieve my hand, let out a deep sigh.
“Why are you doing this?”
“I’m doing that because I’m worried after seeing you talk like that.”
“What?”
“According to the old man, I have heard rumors about that bastard. He is quite the idiot. If that bastard suddenly takes over your body one day, you won’t even notice.”
“Ah, I’m also the same idiot?”
“I understood it correctly, with nothing to add or anything to say.”
“That’s a bit harsh. “It makes the listener feel sad.”
“What are you going to do if your guy is disappointed? What on earth can I do? huh? this······
“No, why are you making such a sudden move? Calm down, calm down.”
Fortunately, only at the last moment did Jeokcheon-gang regain his senses and opened his mouth in a calm tone, as if he had never done so before.
“Anyway, please continue discussing this matter with Nobu. Do you understand?”
“I was already thinking of doing that. “If not Noya, who else would I talk about these issues with?”
This is a necessity rather than a choice.
If you talk here and there and even a single word gets out, it will be an instant for you to become a mad dragon in your supernatural power.
At least Jeokcheongang obediently believed me because he had seen and experienced it firsthand. In fact, if the truth about me were to be known to the whole world right now, the charlatans of the political faction who wanted to rip me to death by claiming to use unprecedented witchcraft would wait for me on the waiting list.
Who knows, maybe I’ll become a classmate with Heavenly Lord through martial arts achievements?
However, in response to my obvious answer, Jeokcheongang shook his head and said this.
“no. Even excluding Nobu, there is one more person. “Have you already forgotten?” “Who… Ah.”
I asked instinctively, but I had lost my appetite.
right.
There is one more person.
I’m not close enough to have a deep conversation about this topic, but I’m another person who is somewhat close to the truth.
‘Yes, there was a palace.’
However, I am still a bit cautious about the castle.
No, actually, not slightly, but very much. ‘I can’t even guess what you’re thinking.’
Literally.
The distance from the palace was hardly narrowed.
Especially when staying at the imperial palace, although we had several opportunities to have deep conversations, we never went beyond the established line.
invisible wall.
It existed between the palace and me.
No, she seemed to treat everyone that way.
Whenever someone tried to break down the wall and approach, she quietly retreated without making a sound.
As if meeting magnets with the same poles.
As if that were the answer.
‘But if it’s a palace, it might know something. Because he is someone who knows at least part of the truth.’
She believed the absurd contents of the letter and wandered the world for decades in search of me, or more precisely, the ‘chosen one.’
The Jeokcheon River in front of me right now. And if we exclude the mysterious absolute being, the God of War, whose existence is not even known, Gungseong must have been the right candidate.
Of course, she will have to agree to this conversation before that.
“Noya. If so, perhaps…
But before I could finish speaking, Jeokcheongang, who guessed what was going to happen, shook his head.
“It is impossible to meet the palace right now. “I haven’t returned from Hebei yet.”
“Hebei…
“The atmosphere is not completely stable and the head of the Pan family has not yet returned, so it will probably take a little longer.”
Hebei and Pengjia.
The moment I heard those two words, my heart suddenly throbbed.
It was because it reminded me of someone who had done his best for everyone until the last moment at the end of his life.
“Perhaps he is the King of Byeokryeok…
“left.”
Jeokcheon River, who gave a short answer to the question asked with a voice that could not come out, suddenly added,
“He was smiling. “It’s so bright that it’s almost unsightly.”
“It is done. “That’s it.”
Instead of answering, I nodded quietly, and soon silence came to the empty space where Jeokcheongang had left.
It’s been a long time since I last felt the silence that has finally arrived.
‘Open system window.’
Tiring.
The clear sound of the bell broke the silence.
