Chapter 369

I am not a returner Episode 369:

Constellation of Black Stars (5)

“Hmm? Hahahaha! Everyone, don’t panic! “Koshiro and Yoko are not biological siblings!”

“yes?”

What does that mean?

As I looked at him with questioning eyes, Sakaki raised his eyebrows.

“There’s a story. “Although we are not related by blood, we have been brother and sister since childhood.”

“is that so.”

I didn’t really ask about the story.

Not only was it useless to find out, but I wasn’t in a position to worry about that right now.

There is only one thing that Ojin needs to do now.

“...what? “Tick your tail?”

“Tsk.”

Ha-eun’s shoulders tremble.

She cleared her throat with an awkward expression.

“I didn’t know it would be like this~”

“Ha. Anyway....”

“No, the only thing I have is my own body. How can I not be mistaken when I say things like that?”

what.

To be honest, it was an expression that left a lot of room for misunderstanding.

“let’s go.”

“Okay. okay.”

Ojin and his group boarded a vehicle prepared by the Kuroshi organization and headed to the coast where the Hippocampus constellation first appeared.

Even after leaving the paved road, you have to go a long way further into the countryside.

We arrived at a quiet fishing village along a road filled with nothing but spreading rice fields and the sound of insects.

“eww.”

Before getting out of the car, Ha-eun let out a low moan and closed her eyes tightly.

A group of demonic beasts appeared in a village with less than 200 households.

Even leading them was the Black Star Constellation, which inherited the power of the Heavenly Demon.

It was an enemy that was questionable as to whether or not it could be fought even if the entire nation’s power was mobilized, and it was not difficult to imagine what a terrible ending ordinary people without even awakened people would have faced.

“...But I still have to go.”

Ha-eun took a deep breath and opened the car door.

Nothing would change even if I stayed here anyway.

Just as the world does not disappear when you close your eyes, turning your head away because you do not want to see it does not change what has already happened.

“....”

“....”

Is it because everyone expected the disaster that would have occurred in the village to some extent?

There was only heavy silence between Ojin and his group who got out of the car and headed towards the small fishing village.

Sakaki and Koshiro, who usually like to talk loudly, kept their mouths shut at this moment.

In the village we arrived at like that.

“Where are you from? “It’s been a while since I’ve seen outsiders.”

An old man with dark skin was looking at Ojin and the others with a puzzled expression.

Basket in hand and fluttering fish.

Dark, tanned skin and a sturdy body that makes it hard to think of him as an old man.

No matter how you look at it, he was an ordinary fisherman living in the countryside.

“...Eh? what?”

Ha-eun looked around with a puzzled expression.

A small fishing village with a rural feel.

Outsiders visiting the village for the first time in a long time could see villagers sticking their heads out between the old and shabby houses as if they were curious.

Sakaki also walked up to the fisherman, who was looking blankly in this direction with an expression of confusion, probably because he hadn’t expected this kind of situation.

“Hmm! It came from Kuroshi...”

“Kuroshi? “Hehe, that’s a fun name.”

“...Surely you don’t know Kuroshi?”

Sakaki looked at the fisherman with wide eyes as if he couldn’t believe it.

Since I knew they weren’t attacking the village, there was nothing I could gain even if I kept hanging out here.

Ojin and his group got back into the car and headed to the coast where the first video was taken.

The distance is approximately 15 minutes by car.

Considering that this was a dirt road that was difficult for vehicles to travel on, it was not far from the village.

“It’s here.”

“yes.”

click.

After Ojin got out of the car, he activated his hunting position and looked around.

As if I was on the west coast of Korea, I saw wide footprints on the muddy mud flat, as if I had stepped on the ground wearing flippers.

Clap.

“Wow, the dirt is up to your knees.”

Ha-eun followed Oh-jin and stepped into the mud flat, frowning and looking down at her bridge submerged in mud.

If I had known that the mud would be this deep, I would have brought boots, but I didn’t have time to bring them because I didn’t expect to reach the mudflats.

“That’s strange.”

Lee Woo-hyuk, who was examining the footprints next to Oh Jin, frowned and said.

“Is it strange?”

“Aren’t there footprints left here? “I don’t see any signs of trying to hide it or anything.”

Lee Woo-hyuk pointed to clearly marked footprints.

As he said, it was a proud footprint that showed no intention to hide.

Ha-eun, who was quietly listening to Lee Woo-hyuk’s story, crossed her arms and tilted her head.

“Is there anything strange about it? “Didn’t they just give up hiding it because there were so many of them?”

“No, if that were the case, I wouldn’t be hiding like I am now.”

If only there had been no intention of hiding the footprints in the first place.

It didn’t make sense for him to be lying dead and hiding like he was doing now.

Because they didn’t even attack villages that were only a few kilometers away from here.

“....”

A soggy feeling of discomfort runs down my spine.

Ojin narrowed his eyes, looking down at the mud that was submerged up to his knees.

at that time.

‘for a moment.’

I felt a strange sense of discomfort.

“...Mr. Sakaki. “Can I watch the video you shot before again?”

Ojin, who had been quietly watching the noisy footsteps of the magical beasts, turned his head towards Sakaki.

“Oh, of course.”

“thank you.”

Ojin took the tablet from Sakaki and slowly looked at the video again.

A desolate beach with no one around.

A black crack opens and horse-headed beasts pour out.

And even the constellation Anceladus in the constellation Hippocampus.

It was a video shot with the exact same composition as where Ojin is currently standing, except that there were no demonic beasts and constellations.

Just one thing.

There was something different from the video.

“Damn it.”

A harsh curse flows from Ojin’s lips.

“Why but?”

“doesn’t exist.”

“What do you mean there isn’t one....”

“It’s a mudflat.”

A muddy mudflat that sinks your feet up to your knees.

However, what was seen in the video was not a mud flat, but a pure white sandy beach.

To say that it was a difference in tides, the current time was at most 30 minutes different from the time the video was filmed.

and.

Rurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

The muddy mud began to sway like waves.
