Chapter 46: The Real Eunah -3
Dokyun stiffened his expression and asked her a question.
"Miss Eunseol, do you know about the existence of other personalities?"
"I don't know, other personalities are under my control. I just dismiss them as my own delusions."
His head throbbed.
There were too many implications in the words 'us' and 'brought'.
That personalities were not limited to those three.
In the end, it was as he initially suspected, that she was involved in his kidnapping.
And.
'Tested.'
Dokyun's eyes grew cold.
'Giving me a chance to leave was a test.'
A pleased expression crossed her face.
"Did you test me?"
Although the words came out of context, she understood what he meant right away.
"I haven't lied."
There was a faint smile in her response as she half-filled her glass.
"She won't be able to find you immediately even if you leave. She hasn't completely devoured Eunah yet."
"So, ultimately, she will find me."
"It will take at least a few years."
After saying that much, she took a sip of her drink, cleared her throat, and continued.
"Finding you, preparing to bring you here, decorating this house, it's all us. Even if Eunah and that crazy bitch did something, it was just the execution of what was already prepared."
Tap tap. The movement of her fingertips tapping the end of the glass seemed oddly cheerful.
"For her to figure out that method, she has to record and digest all of us, our memories. It will take at least years."
"How can you be so sure of that?"
"There is a precedent."
As she said that, Dokyun felt a shadow fall over his face as he looked at her.
"Are there already consumed personalities?"
"Yes."
A chilling sensation passed over her face, now shaded with a deeper darkness.
"She's a wicked woman. Slowly starting with what she can consume, one by one. She has already devoured four."
Four.
Even though four personalities had already been consumed, there were still many left.
As a distant feeling washed over him for a moment, Dokyun opened his mouth with a sudden surge of doubt and asked a question.
"May I ask a question?"
"Of course."
"Start with the weakest. But why did Miss Eunah come first?"
As she turned her head away, sipping her drink, Dokyun, who was watching her, felt frustration building up and added further explanation.
"No matter how bad the condition is, isn't the original owner of the body supposed to come first?"
"Specificity."
"Yes?"
Thud. A dull sound rang out as she placed the glass on the table.
"Eunchae is the personality representing Go Eunah. It's different from me or any other personalities."
"I think you need to explain in more detail."
"What Eunah wants is to become a 'good child,' and to become a 'good child,' one must do good deeds."
With a calm tone, she continued after speaking.
"To do that, there must be evidence that one has done good deeds."
It was only then that Dokyun could understand the meaning of her words.
"Are you sharing memories?"
"As much as necessary."
It was dangerous.
Even to himself, who lacked professional knowledge, it was a very dangerous situation.
To summarize.
"Can we say that Go Eunah sees Eunchae as herself?"
"That's right. That way, the results of Eunachae's actions become her own."
All other personalities are dismissed as delusions. Only Unnie is considered a complete entity.
"Well?"
It was a face full of laughter. A playful tone. But from the returning answer, one thing could be certain.
'She is not an ally.'
What that woman wanted from me was the deletion of Eunchae. She did not consider herself to have a value greater than a chess piece to her.
If he had tried to step outside the door, she would have done whatever it took to hold him back and manipulate him as she pleased.
The slightly loosened rationality sounded another warning.
'It's not easy.'
That woman had not directly revealed her desire throughout the conversation.
Guiding the conversation in a way that stimulates sympathy for Eunah, she indirectly imposes her own intentions.
Devious.
She may be described as devious towards Eunchae, but in DoKyun's eyes, she was much more devious.
'What does that woman want'
Will the deletion of Eunchae be the end?
It was impossible to know. That woman did not reveal much to me.
Only as much as necessary, she provides information to achieve her goals.
As Dokyun, filled with tension, quietly stared at her, she opened her mouth with a sardonic smile.
"Having many thoughts is good, but if it's too much, it becomes delusion."
The words that seem to penetrate my thoughts.
"I have no intention of being greedy like that woman, if I had such thoughts, this body would have already been devoured by me."
Shiver.
My body trembled.
A feeling of exposing oneself. She seemed to read everything about me from my short silence, expression, and atmosphere.
"I'm sorry."
"You don't have to apologize."
There was no gap.
Recalling the conversation that followed, Dokyun quickly deduced what she wanted.
'At least.'
What she wanted was not a complete healing of Go Eunah.
Continuing this topic is dangerous. The deeper you delve, the one who loses is yourself.
Judging this, Dokyun opened his mouth again and spoke in a low tone.
"Except for Eunchae, you must be the strongest personality."
Changing the subject.
Perhaps she will not deny this part. She gave herself a clue.
"That's right."
As expected, she spat out a cool answer.
"Just looking at the order, I'm second. If you think about the reason for my existence, I'm practically the strongest."
Control of Eunchae. She said she was created for that purpose.
"If Eunah gets better, I can handle Eunchae. So."
She said, fixing her gaze on Dokyun and jokingly speaking.
"You should tease Eunah a little."
She throws another clue.
'I can handle it.'
She said she could handle it after the separation.
'I can oversee the deletion of personalities.'
She was saying that.
"Your expression is cheap."
"Don't mention it."
The face that shrugged its shoulders was filled with confidence.
She was sure that I would not refuse her proposal.
And the following words provided an excuse to deceive emotions.
"I'm not just asking for it."
You can justify that you are not sympathizing with Eunah, but making a valid deal for yourself.
"50 billion."
Facing her, she raised the corner of her mouth sharply and drove the point home.
"I'll give you 50 billion if you detach Eunchae."
It was like a checkmate.
