I am not a returner Episode 346

Interlude – I am not a returner (1)

[That... what do you mean?]

A feeling as if time has frozen.

Vega looked back at Ojin with a stiff expression.

Are you saying you’re not a regressor?

What does that mean?

[Aren’t you asking what I mean!]

Vega shouted with a nervous expression.

I remembered the first time I met Ojin.

A young man who confidently identified himself as a returner.

A human who remembered a past life that she could not remember.

In her life that spanned thousands of years, her encounter with Ojin was only a short period of time, not even a handful.

-I missed you, Vega.

I remember it.

The eyes that looked at her with affection.

The lips that called to her in a trembling voice.

How could I forget?

however.

It was all a lie?

[Don’t lie.]

Vega shook her head with an awkward smile.

I could guess why Ohjin was suddenly saying such absurd things.

[Did you think that if you said something like that, your wife would receive sanctuary?]

He shook his head as if to stop himself from thinking such nonsense.

[Didn’t I tell you? The main woman will protect you no matter what happens...]

“Vega.”

Interrupting Vega’s continued words, Ojin stared at her with deeply sunken eyes.

“It’s not a lie.”

[Such nonsense again...!]

“You can tell by looking at this.”

The appearance of Ojin wrapped in black cloth.

Or, to be more precise, it is Oh Jin’s appearance with part of his body changed to ‘black sky’.

[My wife, Cheonma, loves you....]

“No.”

There is no way she wouldn’t be able to distinguish between the Dark Heaven that the Heavenly Demon possesses and the Dark Heaven that she possesses.

“Vega.”

With a bitter smile on his face, he carefully placed his hand on Vega’s cheek.

“I am not a regressor.”

I am once again revealing the truth that I have been hiding and trying to ignore.

“I lied about knowing the future and having a special relationship with you in my past life to deceive you.”

[Stop that. Stop talking!]

Every word that comes out of Oh Jin’s mouth sharply pierces my heart.

Vega shouted, her eyes watering as if she had shed tears.

[Didn’t you know what would actually happen in the future?]

“....”

The future seen through Lee Shin-hyuk’s memories.

In reality, Ojin used that memory to completely deceive Vega.

Predicting the future was something that couldn’t be done unless you were a ‘regressor’.

“I’m sorry, Vega.”

There was no explanation for the lame use of Lee Shin-hyuk’s memories.

Anyway, if you look at yourself now mixed with the Black Heaven, you will know that he is the ‘master of the Black Heaven’, just like the Heavenly Demon.

[....]

Vega bit her lip and glared at Ojin with shaking eyes.

widely!

He fiercely swatted away Oh Jin’s hand that touched his cheek.

[You...]

The end of the sentence becomes blurred.

A sharp sense of betrayal cuts through my heart.

[Are you really... not a regressor?]

Until now.

[Are you... deceiving your true wife?]

Transparent tears are flowing down my cheeks.

The man I trusted more than anyone else.

The only person I gave my heart to in a long life spanning thousands of years.

The shattered trust turned into sharp fragments and cut her to pieces.

Grumble!

A huge tsunami of dark clouds was just around the corner.

Ojin walked past Vega and opened his mouth quietly.

“okay. “I was faking it to take advantage of your power.”

therefore.

Gurgling.

I felt the tsunami of black clouds gradually engulfing my body.

If I am completely consumed by the Heavenly Demon’s Black Sky like this, what will happen next?

Without any time to continue the questions that arose, another sharp pain hit Ojin.

“Kkkkkkk ah ugh.”

I was over my breaking point and couldn’t even scream due to the pain.

In the black blinking consciousness.

Grumbling.

The sound of dark clouds wriggling was heard.

‘...Heavenly Demon?’

no.

The source of the sound is the left chest.

It was a sound that came from his own dark heaven, not from the Heavenly Demon.

Grumble, rumble, rumble!

The black sky nestled within the heart growls like a caged beast.

He struggles violently, as if asking to be released from here at any moment.

‘What more do you want me to solve here?’

Hasn’t the Black Heaven already been liberated using the Open Heaven?

Ojin frowned and glared at the left chest.

Grumbling.

The black sky trapped within the heart fiercely spewed out dark clouds.

As if it wasn’t enough yet.

As if there was still more to open.

‘You can... open more?’

Does this mean that the opening is not the end?

Is there something more to it?

Oh Jin chewed his lips and placed his hand on his left chest.

‘Even if we can liberate more Black Heaven from here.’

What is the price?

How many memories will be lost?

“....”

My chewed lips trembled.

The more you liberate the Dark Heaven, the more memories will be swallowed up by the Dark Heaven.

perhaps.

All my memories of Ha-eun...

[Oh, the rising star of Jiknyeo Castle.]

As I continued to imagine sinister thoughts.

Vega’s voice came from behind.

“...Be gone?”

You mean you didn’t go back to the sanctuary?

[Bless your child.]

A brilliant silver light dwelled in Ojin’s body.

Grumble!

I felt Heukcheon writhing as if he was having a seizure.

‘see.’

In the black, flickering consciousness, a faintly shining ray of starlight was visible.

“Keuuuu!”

Ojin stretched out his hand toward the starlight shining in the black sky.

and.

Rurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

With a huge roar, everything around was covered in black clouds.

“What... what happened...”

Ojin frowned and looked around.

A black space without a single ray of light.

It was a place I had already been to once before.

‘Space of unconsciousness.’

Ojin lightly snapped his fingers.

Chairs and tables were created out of thin air.

‘It’s my subconscious.’

Unlike Cheonma, who was able to intervene in his unconsciousness, Ojin could not intervene in his unconsciousness.

Being able to create something at will means that this is not the Heavenly Demon, but your own subconscious.

“ha.”

As I was sighing, wondering how I had ended up in a place like this again.

Grumble, rumble.

Black clouds began to swirl in the empty air.

Dark clouds that repeat chaotic expansion and contraction.

Soon the dark clouds gathered in one place and formed a shape.

“You...”

The appearance of a dry and worn-out young man who looked just like him.

“You bastard!!!”

The Heavenly Demon rushed towards Ojin with a distorted expression like a demon.
