Chapter 356 - Seen the hand before

Nodding her head, Soohyun stepped into the room, and the door behind her closed then. Staring at Miyeon's enthusiastic face, she let out a small smile.

"Have you prepared for everything?" Soohyun questioned.

"Yes, I am ready to go. By the way, Unnie, I have heard about how you decided the King. I wish I was there to see it. Everyone was gossiping about you cool yet foolish you were. That King is going to slaughter you after this is over," Miyeon spoke out.

"Well, if that happens, I will just be fleeing away from this Underworld. Then, he would be unable to do anything to me," Soohyun stated as she winked at Miyeon.

She then added, "The King's attitude just caused me to lose my temper, and knowing how he treated Minhyun, I could not just hold it in any longer. Any way, let's not waste time. I have brought the cloaks. 

Do you think you will be able to transport to there? That would be the most efficient way. I have used a lot of power recently, and it would be better for me to not use my powers recklessly now."

"That would be of no problem. I haven't transported for a while, so I will be able to manage that," Miyeon vocalised, "The guards might be strictly guarding at this time around as well, so let's leave after an hour or so."

"Alright, let's do that then," Soohyun voiced out.

"In the meanwhile, share some snacks with me. I have tried out some new recipes, and now, I just need someone's opinion on them," Miyeon voiced out.

Soohyun chuckled and spoke out, "Miyeon, you are really going to fatten me up with how are feeding me recently."

"You have lost a lot of weight, and there is no one to share my cooking with," Miyeon said, "Moreover, it's nice to have someone liking my cooking."

°°°

After about an hour or so had passed, the two of them transported to where Leader Minjae's body was. The room was completely dark, and due to her night vision, Soohyun was able to see how there was no human there.

Beside her was Hwang Miyeon, and turning her head towards Miyeon, she questioned, "Are you alright?"

Miyeon said, "Yeah, I am just fine. Just out of shape for not exercising and using my powers for too long."

Nodding her head, Soohyun turned on the torch light in her hand and illuminated the room before her dimly.

The temperature of this room was really low, and inside a coffin, Hwang Minjae's body was kept. The low temperature was needed to maintain the condition of his body.

Without a word, Miyeon slowly approached the coffin while Soohyun stared at her distancing back. It was really admirable how Miyeon did not break out at this moment.

That is when a sharp pain went through her head, and a gasp left her mouth while her hand shook. Nonetheless, she did not let go of her grip around the torch light, and raising her hand, she touched her forehead.

She must be due to how she had been exhausting herself recently.

At that moment, she found it difficult to breath, and softly, patting on her c.h.e.s.t, she attempted to calm herself down. Everything was fine until this point. So, why did it feel as if she was suffocating now?

Her head felt dizzy as if she was really close to losing her consciousness. Nevertheless, before she could lose herself to the sleep, Soohyun blinked her eyes multiple times to pull herself out of the trance. It would not turn out good if she fainted now.

After she returned back to her room, she needed to catch up on some sleep.

°°°

Nevertheless, she felt completely healthy now, unlike how she felt at that room, and walking over to her bed, she fell back on to her bed.

Everything with Miyeon had gone smoothly, and after she had dinner at Miyeon's place, she returned back to her room. Waiting for Minhyun's arrival, Soohyun closed her eyes— her mind blank of any thoughts.

As much as she tried, she was unable to calm down her heart. It was very much anxious regarding something. However, Soohyun was unable to figure out what that something was. 

'Minnie, do you have any idea why I am feeling this way? This is really weird and scary at the same time.'

"Geez! Soohyun, you are really reading too much into it. Don't worry! You are perfectly fine. This could be due to all of the recent pressure and problems you have been facing. Since this is all new to use, you might be affected psychologically."

'Are you sure that is all to it? I swear this is not settling well with me, and something tells me that there is more to that than just this.'

"Trust me, Soohyun. I know you better than you even know yourself, and what can even go wrong. As for the future, if there is something that is bound to go wrong, I am sure that the Oracle will be predicting that."

'About that, Minnie, were you able to find out who stabbed through Han Minhyun's c.h.e.s.t through his sword in the prediction? That would be really great!'

"No, no clue about it until this point. But one thing for sure about that is, Minhyun was pierced through his own c.h.e.s.t."

'Could it be that Han Minhyun was poisoned, and he stabbed himself in order to commit suicide like Hwang Minjae? That actually makes sense.'

"No, that hand did not belong to him. It was someone else that murdered him with his own sword, and although I have seen that hand before, I can't exactly pinpoint whom it belongs to. Master is the same too. He had seen that hand as well before."
