Chapter 163
‘Looks like something serious. All right. I’ll go right there.’
After answering like that, I immediately told this to Mr. Seokhyun.
“I hoped otherwise, but… … .”
Uncle was grieved.
He smiled bitterly at the world with an expression that he couldn’t understand why the siblings couldn’t kill each other like this.
no. Did Shin Ji-han really despair that he had come up with such a terrible plan?
Whatever it was, it was certain that the present situation itself was deplorable, as the uncle felt.
“Then, please stick to the plan.”
“yes.”
Uncle Seokhyun exhaled deeply. As if brushing off all her remaining thoughts, as if spitting out all thoughts in her breath. Immediately after exhaling a long, long breath.
“Then we will start the operation right away.”
He had become the cold and impassive figure of a leader of the shadows.
Before entering the most important mission, the spirit of the dark side who finished all the resolutions.
It was sharp enough to send chills down my spine just by looking at it.
“Please.”
“Don’t worry. We will take care of it 100% perfectly.”
Mr. Seok-hyun, who had been sending calls here and there while holding his phone, stared into my eyes with a mysterious expression.
“Bocchan’s side, please take care of yourself. The one who took on the most dangerous role in this plan is none other than the young master.”
* * *
The hotel room where Shin Se-ah is staying.
Shin Se-ah was tearing her nails with a nervous expression on her face.
‘Why did I forget?’
The crossed legs tremble wildly.
Even the pupils tremble slightly.
Anxiety and nervousness linger in her every move.
‘I forgot something important like this.’
Shin Se-ah tossed her hair and mocked herself.
I completely forgot about it while I was in the hospital, and only remembered it after returning to the hotel.
can be so stupid
I was very pathetic.
‘At this rate, Ha Yul is in danger.’
What Shin Se-ah thought of.
That’s about Shin Ji-han’s plan to deal with Shin Ha-yul.
‘no. It’s not just Ha Yul, I’m also dangerous.’
Shin Se-ah bit her nails and trembled her lips.
‘The head of the shadow, Kim Seok-hyun, was Ji-han’s brother’s limb… … .’
What Shin Se-ah thought of.
It was none other than Kim Seok-hyun’s identity.
This is the information obtained along with the SD card in the process of noticing Shin Ji-han’s plan and preparing to escape from Shin Ji-han’s clutches.
Shin Se-ah recalled the diary she saw in Shin Ji-han’s private filing room.
[Kim Seok-hyun is when I rise to the position of head of household. It was the plaque he was trying to save to bring his father to a good place first, but now that the situation has turned this way, it can’t be helped. I have no choice but to deal with Ha-yul by moving Kim Seok-hyun.]
Kim Seok-hyun is the enemy.
He was a traitor who was bribed by Shin Ji-han from the beginning.
‘… … idiot. fool. Why did you forget this important information!’
Shin Se-ah thumped her head and blamed herself.
Even thinking about it again, I was pathetic.
How could you have forgotten such shocking information?
How did he eat his own head?
He genuinely worried about his own intelligence.
‘Still, I’m glad I remembered it even now.’
If only I remembered it a little later… … .
Shin Se-ah shuddered.
Chills from the terrible imagination.
‘It’s time to come soon.’
The current time is 11:27 PM.
It was 10:56 when he contacted Shin Ha-yul, and it took about 30 minutes from the hotel where Shin Ha-yul was staying to the hotel he was staying at.
It’s about time to come
‘I’ll call you to see where you’ve come…’ … .’
Shin Se-ah puts both hands on her cheeks! hit
‘no. Then you can’t. this crazy boy It’s not like I’m advertising for eavesdropping.’
Maybe it hit me too hard, my cheeks tingle.
“eww… … .”
I wake up.
‘Stupid bitch. come now… … .’
Then, I regretted it.
Why did he hate Shin Ha-yul so much?
‘Hayul is… … He didn’t do anything to me.’
It is no exaggeration to say that Shin Ha-yul’s youth was full of magic.
I didn’t really interact with my family, and I didn’t really meet my brothers.
Because there was no meeting, there was no opportunity for Shin Ha-yul to do something to Shin Se-ah.
No, in the first place, Shin Ha-yul is not a character to harbor ill will towards someone.
There wouldn’t be any room for that.
It’s much more constructive to study magic when you’re hating someone. Shin Ha-yul must have thought so.
‘I hated it one-sidedly.’
Therefore, the relationship between Shin Se-ah and Shin Ha-yul was broken only because of Shin Se-ah herself.
‘Envy, envy, and an inferiority complex.’
Could it be that Shin Ha-yul’s overwhelming talent deprived her of her parents’ attention?
Shin Se-ah barely succeeded over 2 years, and Shin Ha-yul succeeded in 2 weeks.
Or is it because of her mother, who compared her with Shin Ha-yul and whipped her?
‘Perhaps everything?’
Slowly, as if influenced.
Going through all these things, Shin Se-ah began to hate Shin Ha-yul bit by bit.
‘My brother also hated Ha Yul.’
As Shin Se-ah, who was no different from Shin Ji-han’s wish, Shin Ji-han’s preference had no choice but to be reflected in his thoughts to some extent.
Due to the mixed action of all those complex elements, Shin Se-ah slowly came to hate Shin Ha-yul and hate him again.
‘What is the head of the household?’
Shin Se-ah bit her lip.
No matter how hard he chewed it, blood gushed out.
‘That’s it… … What does the housekeeper say… … .’
These were words he said to himself and also to Shin Ji-han.
What the hell is that family head trying to get by killing his family?
I couldn’t understand it at all.
‘… … no. That’s not what I’m saying.’
Shin Se-ah lowered her head.
‘me too… … Because I had such thoughts.’
It’s not just a thought.
There was a time when he tried to move directly to kill Shin Ha-yul.
It was because I was in a situation where I couldn’t make an objective judgment because my mentality was collapsing, but it is clear that I prepared for it.
Although, on the way, I came to my senses and took a step back, but the fact that I prepared with such thoughts in mind does not disappear.
‘… … It would have been better if I had gone crazy then. Like an older brother.’
If you had done as Shin Ji-han said then. If the preparations to kill Shin Ha-yul were completed perfectly.
If that was the case, at least Shin Ji-han wouldn’t be aiming for his life.
I felt so weak.
Shin Se-ah’s already weak mentality quickly collapsed.
‘… … Wake up, Shin Se-ah.’
But that’s for a while.
Shin Se-ah held on to her mentality with her desperate will.
It is impossible to remain weak forever.
and.
‘… … I’m going to finish this job properly and apologize properly. sorry until now I was really sorry that I couldn’t be like an older sister.’
People don’t change.
That’s right.
But nothing is as easy to change as a person.
This is also true.
People tend to change more easily than you think if there is a big opportunity.
Why, don’t they say that people don’t change unless they die?
Conversely, this statement is like saying that a person who almost died can easily change.
She was almost killed by her trusted brother, and was comforted and saved by Shin Ha-yul, whom she vaguely thought was her enemy.
This fact was enough to change Shin Se-ah’s values.
“… … you can do it. Shin Se-ah.”
I don’t know if I can be bold enough to say this.
I want to start all over again.
Now, I want to stop living while resenting and hating someone.
‘… … family.’
Shin Se-ah recalled the warmth of Shin Ha-yul, who carefully held her hand at the hospital.
It was warm. She was kinder than any touch she’d ever been through.
‘It can be. If it’s definitely Ha-yul… … .’
I will forgive you.
If it was Ha-yul, who was much more mature than himself, if it was Ha-yul, who was much kinder and had a great heart.
‘Let’s continue to pray for forgiveness.’
It doesn’t matter if it takes years or decades. If one day we can go back to normal family relationships, that’s good enough.
Shin Se-ah’s eyes shone with determination.
And then.
smart-!
I heard someone knocking on the door.
‘It’s arrived.’
The current time is 11:41.
It was well beyond the estimated time of arrival, but if you think about it, you would have had to take a taxi to get there by yourself, so it was only natural that it would take a little longer.
Shin Se-ah quickly got up from her seat and headed for the door.
And slowly opened the door.
“hurry… … .”
Come on.
I couldn’t finish the words.
Pooh!
“hi. count.”
“big… suck.”
hot.
My heart aches and it’s hot.
It looks like it’s got burns.
‘what… … ji?’
Shin Se-ah examined her chest.
The knife is stuck.
As you can see, it is a sharp knife.
it is lodged in his chest. blood dripping down
“And bye. count.”
It was only then that Shin Se-ah could see the face of the man who appeared beyond the door.
“oh… … bar… … .”
“Rest first. Thank you so far.”
Shin Ji-han.
he laughed.
‘ah… … .’
It was a monster smile.
Seeing that smile, Shin Se-ah quietly closed her eyes.
‘At least I wanted to apologize properly.’
I thought it was a life full of regrets.
Slowly, very slowly, I closed my eyes.
“love you. count.”
I heard that voice at the end.
* * *
I arrived at the hotel room where my sister was staying.
Since I was trying to come alone, it took longer than I thought.
It took about 50 minutes.
smart-
I knocked right away.
I’ll be waiting for you every day, so I’ll open the door right away.
I thought so and waited for an answer.
“?”
But there was no answer.
Did you fall asleep while waiting?
It couldn’t have been.
I thought so and knocked again.
Silent answer this time.
‘what?’
What’s going on?
Or is it not in here?
I quickly opened my ‘Sinan’.
Since the battle would be inevitable, the ‘Four Seasons’ had been worn in advance.
Thanks to that, I was able to observe mana much more precisely than usual.
‘… … Red-brown mana?’
The mana detected through the door has a strange reddish-brown color.
It is different from the red color of fire magic and the brown color of earth magic.
Oddly muddy colors.
If I were to compare it to blood, should I say it?
That kind of mana was filling the other side of the door.
I upped the output of Sinan a bit more.
Heterogeneous mana is detected in the center of reddish-brown mana, which feels a little clearer.
Horrible, reluctant mana.
It’s not corrupt mana, it’s unpleasant mana that makes you feel corrupt.
It was mana that swayed like a snake.
And under it, you can see a faint mana. Mana reminiscent of a lantern that is about to go out at any moment.
It was very familiar mana to me.
‘no way… … .’
I slowly gripped the doorknob.
Even if it didn’t open, I was going to break it in by force.
rattle.
Surprisingly, the door was not locked.
I opened the door and entered the room.
“… … .”
Upon entering the room, the first thing I felt was the vivid scent of blood.
The fishy smell of iron.
“Come on. Ha Yul-ah.”
Sister Se-ah is lying in the center of a pool of blood.
“Are you late?”
And behind him, Shin Ji-han was sitting with his legs crossed, showing off his relaxed spirit.
“I almost got into trouble. If you had come a little later, you wouldn’t have been able to leave any evidence on the scene.”
Shin Ji-han moved his mana and used magic.
telekinesis.
A very basic magic that can exert physical force on a target.
I used it to blow my sister’s body at me.
Otherwise, there is no sign of manual manipulation.
Still, in case you don’t know, you should be prepared.
After preparing my defense magic, I quietly embraced my sister’s flying body.
Fortunately, nothing appeared to be a trap.
“… … .”
The wound is serious.
It was such a serious injury that I didn’t know if I could survive even if I went to the hospital right now.
“okay. With this, the fabrication of evidence for psychometry is complete.”
Shin Ji-han stood up from her seat.
“… … Evidence tampering?”
“not a big deal. It’s just, they say that there must be blood contact to be able to tamper with the evidence.”
Then he took two steps toward me.
“ruler. So, now that we’re all set… … .”
Shin Ji-han’s eyes narrowed.
“Let’s end this disgusting bad relationship here.”
At that moment, Mana was born.
Mana expands.
A feeling of great malice eroding the surroundings.
Barrier magic with plenty of corrupted mana.
An unknown magic isolated this area.
“Don’t worry too much. Because you will become a pitiful hero who lost his life in Sae Ah’s trap. At least it won’t be an inglorious death. Are you happy?”
Mana gushed around Shin Ji-han.
“If you know, don’t just rebel… … .”
Soon, Mana, who turned into a blade, thrust her ferocious teeth at me.
“die.”
My infinity circle and mana core rotated as if they had become one.
“There are many things I want to say, but if I have to say just one of them first… … .”
In the next moment, the world seemed to stop in my eyes.
A slowly flying blade of mana.
I sprinkled my mana on it.
Clink!
The magic affected by my mana was helplessly broken, turning into mana remnants and scattering away.
“… … .”
Maybe it’s because it’s so easily blocked?
As if his pride was hurt, Shin Ji-han frowned.
“I want to die from the magic of a criminal like you, but I can’t.”
“… … what?”
Shin Ji-han’s expression twisted into a grim expression.
