Episode 180.
Baek Seon-je couldn’t understand the situation unfolding before his eyes.
can not understand?
I couldn’t understand how such thoughts could even come up.
Because the dead can’t think.
That is why Baek Seon-je could not even think of something he could not understand.
But now… .
“Khahak!”
Oh Ju-won was spitting out a handful of blood onto the floor.
Oh Ju-won’s staggering body looked as if it might collapse at any moment.
Why on earth?
As expected, Baek Seon-je was unable to understand.
“What the heck… Kkuluk!”
This time, blood gushed out from the corner of Baek Seon-je’s mouth.
At the same time, a terrible pain came into my chest.
ache.
Yeah, it was painful.
Evidence of life that is alive.
When I looked down, there was a gaping wound on my chest.
It was the exact place where Oh Ju-won’s dagger was stuck.
From the gaping wound, water was pouring out in time with the heartbeat.
Heartbeat…?
Baek Seon-je calmly checked his physical condition.
And soon.
We were able to check the condition of the beating heart.
“Your heart wasn’t pierced…?”
It was clearly the heart that Oh Ju-won’s dagger was aiming at.
Baek Seon-je couldn’t figure out how things were going.
But that was only for a moment.
“Cough…!”
Baek Seon-je’s body twisted violently and fell.
He sat down on the spot as if he had collapsed.
The heart was not pierced, but it was not completely pierced.
The wound that dug all the way to the heart was eating away at Baek Seon-je’s life.
Right then.
“Are you okay?”
A familiar voice came to Baek Seon-je’s ear.
That wasn’t Oh Joo-won’s.
Blurry vision.
Because of that, the face was not visible.
“You…?”
However, Baek Seon-je was able to quickly detect the identity.
A man with a somewhat fierce aura.
“Hunter Maeng Si-woo…? How did you get here…?”
Baek Seon-je couldn’t understand this situation at all.
“The wound is deep. Please refrain from speaking.”
Siwoo slowly approached Baek Seon-je.
He laid down the fallen Baek Seon-je comfortably and then took out a wooden shield from the pocket on his waist.
The wooden armor was filled with thin needles.
Siwoo took out a needle from his glove and stabbed it into Baekseonje’s body.
“This, this is…?”
Baek Seon-je couldn’t believe it at all.
I knew my own body very well.
The wounds of a torn heart.
Baek Seon-je did not die immediately.
His life was in danger, if not critical condition.
Even if he had been transferred to the hospital immediately, it would have been difficult for him to survive.
But now.
Sigh. Sigh.
The pain gradually subsided as the thin needles were inserted into my body.
The critical wound was gradually healing.
This is impossible even with modern medicine.
Only one person can do this.
Saint, Rudorea.
As one of the 13 heroes, only she was able to accomplish this miracle.
“how…?”
Baek Seon-je couldn’t understand his own wounds that were healing.
But that was only for a moment.
“Stop it… just leave it alone.”
Baek Seon-je grabbed Si-woo’s hand as he was sticking a needle into his mouth.
“Don’t… treat me.”
Siwoo, who was sticking a needle in his mouth, stopped moving.
Baek Seon-je said with a faint smile.
“I have to die here… .”
He himself should not live.
Only then will Father Baek Seon-pyeong come forward.
Only Baek Seon-pyeong can solve this situation.
The recent events in Seoul require a Baek Seon-pyeong.
“Are you saying this because of Oh Joo-won?”
Siwoo’s question continued.
Baek Seon-je shook his head weakly.
“Oh Joo-won isn’t the problem… In this case, Oh Joo-won is just… Cough!”
Suddenly, blood poured out.
Baek Seon-je couldn’t bring himself to continue talking.
“Just… leave me alone.”
Baek Seon-je simply said that.
Siwoo looked at Baekseonje quietly.
But that was only for a moment.
“I don’t know why you say that.”
Siwoo pushed away Baek Seonje’s hand that was blocking him.
Then, he pointed to Baekseonje’s acupoint and inserted a needle.
He did not stop his actions in treating whiteheads.
Baek Seon-je stopped Si-woo again.
No, it was the moment I was trying to stop it.
“But I think I understand the director’s will to protect the people.”
Siwoo’s voice was heard again.
Siwoo continued to stab Baek Seon-je with his needles.
Every time this happened, Baek Seon-je’s condition slowly recovered.
“Director, sacrifice isn’t the only way to protect people.”
Siwoo wasn’t looking at Baekseonje.
“Oh Joo-won didn’t take the bait called me. Instead, he chose to get rid of the director.”
Before I knew it, the blood that had been flowing through my chest had stopped flowing.
Little by little, the gaping wound was healing.
“What do you think is the reason?”
Only then did Siwoo look into Baek Seon-je’s eyes.
Baek Seon-je didn’t give any answer.
A moment of silence.
“I thought it was more important to get rid of the director than me.”
Director of the Inspection Bureau, Baek Seon-je.
Baekseonje was a deterrent to all criminals.
A person who plays a decisive role in preventing criminals from running rampant in South Korea.
How many criminal organizations have been uprooted because of these three letters in their name?
How many crimes were not committed for fear of the name Baekseonje?
How many lives were saved by this?
Baek Seon-je, who has protected Korean society just by existing.
“Not only these sacrifices, but the fact that the Director is still alive and well is also one of the ways to protect the people.”
There was an unknown emotion in Siwoo’s eyes as he looked at him.
“So please don’t die. Please get up safely and protect the people.”
Just like it has always been.
Siwoo’s last words were faintly audible.
Maybe that’s why.
“……”
Baek Seon-je couldn’t say anything.
I couldn’t even think of what to say.
Just… just… .
I was just in a daze.
I feel like I’ve been hit hard in the back of the head with a hammer.
No, but I didn’t think I would feel that way.
Siwoo slowly got up from his seat.
And then slowly turn your back.
Why is that?
Baek Seon-je’s appearance overlapped that of a person and Si-woo.
It was like a mountain that did not give in even during the end of mankind.
“Please take a break.”
Baek Seon-je saw his father, Baek Seon-pyeong, overlap with Si-woo’s back.
* * *
“Khahak…!”
Blood poured out from the corner of Oh Ju-won’s mouth.
I tried to hold it back, but the blood that had risen to my throat eventually gushed out of my mouth.
A shock that felt like a blow to the whole body.
Seriously, my physical condition was terrible.
However, Oh Ju-won suffered a greater mental shock than his physical condition.
“Uh, how…? How did you…?”
The sudden appearance of Maeng Si-woo.
This is absolutely impossible.
Meng Shi-woo could never be here.
To be exact, it shouldn’t have happened.
Because Maeng Si-woo should have died there.
Oh Ju-won knew that Maeng Si-woo was bait.
Even though I knew it was bait, I also knew that I had no choice but to bite.
There were two reasons why I didn’t ask.
First, Baek Seon-je’s death was more important.
Second, Maeng Si-woo is going to die anyway.
An S-class dungeon that Maeng Si-woo entered.
There was absolutely no way I could survive in it.
Maeng Si-woo can never return from there alive.
It was so obvious that he had to die there.
But… but now.
“Coolook…!”
Oh Ju-won couldn’t come to his senses at all.
An indescribable shock shook Oh Ju-won’s mind.
More than anything.
This was not the future that Oh Joo-won saw.
Baek Seon-je’s death.
Baek Seon-je dies with his heart pierced.
This was the ‘determined’ future that Oh Joo-won saw.
But the reality was not like that.
Oh Ju-won looked down at his blood-stained hands.
The sensation at my fingertips was clearly vivid.
The feeling of Baek Seon-je piercing through his heart still remained.
However, Baek Seon-je is not dead, but alive.
That means.
‘Changed the future…?’
This is nonsense, nonsense.
The power of foresight enhanced by the amplification magic circle.
This is an immutable law and a certain future.
0% chance.
The current situation was one where the possibility did not exist at all.
But… but now.
“Coolook…! Kkukhak…!”
Blood poured down continuously onto the floor.
There is no sign of improvement in the condition from which he was attacked.
and.
“I have a lot to ask you.”
Siwoo’s voice was heard.
Oh Ju-won bit his lip.
I forced myself to hold onto my wavering mind.
Maeng Si-woo.
The name engraved in Oh Ju-won’s mind.
On the surface, he seemed like a really unremarkable guy.
But appearances aren’t everything.
There is something about Siwoo that is unknown to him.
but.
“I don’t know why you are here… .”
Kwakwakwakwakwakwa─!!
Crimson magic exploded and spread in all directions.
Kiiiiiiiiing─!!
Thousands of amplifying magic circles received its power and amplified it further.
“You shouldn’t have come here.”
In the face of this overwhelming power, Oh Ju-won was not afraid of anything.
Oh Ju-won grabbed the double daggers.
And one step.
As we take steps forward.
Paaang─!!
There was a loud explosion of air bursting out.
A gaze that slowly turns around.
Half of Oh Ju-won’s body was blown away.
At the same time, my consciousness became blurred─.
“Ugh…!!”
Oh Ju-won took a deep breath.
I hurriedly checked my physical condition.
And I could see half of the body still attached.
mistaken…?
But just now it became clear… .
Siwoo was not moving.
I was just quietly looking at Oh Ju-won.
That means.
It means that what happened just now was not real.
But that feeling was vivid.
The situation just now seemed almost real.
“This, this is….”
Oh Ju-won’s mind was filled with confusion.
That moment.
Ppeueuk─!!
A large hole was ripped through Oh Ju-won’s chest with a dull, loud noise.
dump.
Oh Ju-won’s body fell to the floor without strength.
“Ugh…!”
I come to my senses again as I take another deep breath.
The physical condition that was hastily checked was as normal as before.
Kwaaaaang─!!
My head is spinning and my thoughts are cut off.
“Keuhuk!”
And again.
Quasi-!!
The whole body is torn to shreds and disappears.
“Cough!”
Again.
Kwakwakwang─!!
Oh Ju-won’s body disappears without a trace in a powerful explosion.
“Ugh…!”
When you breathe in again, it returns to its original state.
Oh Ju-won at this time.
I was able to figure out what this illusion was.
No, it’s not a mistake.
Oh Ju-won’s personality, foresight (S).
And the power strengthened by the amplification magic circle.
It was a future of possibility shown by the amplified power of foresight.
The future of that possibility felt vivid.
Just like I felt like I stabbed Baek Seon-je in the heart earlier.
That means.
The countless things that Oh Joo-won just experienced.
‘This is… my future?’
That meant a future of possibilities that could unfold for Oh Ju-won.
Crack!
Oh Ju-won bit his teeth hard.
It’s hard to believe, but it’s a clear reality.
No, it is something that can happen in reality.
But it doesn’t matter.
After all, it was just one of many possibilities.
The future possibilities that Oh Joo-won could see were countless.
The word ‘if’, meaning possibility.
In case of any unexpected events that may occur.
Oh Joo-won could see the future of all those cases.
Thus, Oh Ju-won was able to choose his future.
What if I moved my left shoulder?
What if I had lifted my right foot and dodged?
What if you evaded by leaning back?
At first glance, it might seem like a meaningless difference.
But in the future of possibility, that wasn’t the case.
Butterfly Effect.
The flapping of a butterfly’s wings in one place can cause a typhoon on the other side of the world.
A very small change in initial conditions can have a huge impact on the whole.
So, this is the future of possibility that Oh Ju-won sees.
Parallel World.
Infinite worlds that exist in isolation from one another.
Oh Ju-won was able to see into that unknown world.
Among them, Oh Ju-won had to choose.
Twist your left shoulder and move it.
Raise your right foot to dodge.
All that was left to do was to choose the future that was most advantageous to Oh Ju-won from the infinite possibilities.
So, now.
Kwaaaa …
Kiiiiiing─!!
Oh Ju-won’s crimson magic power and amplification magic circle were activated to the limit.
So thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands.
Millions, tens of millions, hundreds of millions.
Every possible future that could exist unfolds.
and.
Paaaaang─!!
Torn to pieces… disappears.
In the parallel world, the world of possibility was being torn apart.
That… is impossible.
Parallel worlds are worlds that are isolated from each other.
It is a world that cannot be destroyed or destroyed because it is a possible future that has not actually occurred.
That means,
‘It doesn’t exist?’
It never existed.
A future with hundreds of millions of possibilities as envisioned by Oh Joo-won.
It did not exist even in the future of countless possibilities.
There was no future in which Oh Joo-won could possibly beat Si-woo.
only one.
“Didn’t I warn you?”
Death.
“You’re next.”
That was the only possible future that Oh Joo-won could see.
