Chapter 222

[Shouldnt you contact her right now?]

Shes probably on the plane right now. How can I?

[You said you have a skill that allows you to communicate remotely with other contractors. Use that!]

I cant. You think that skill is omnipotent, but it doesnt work if were too far apart.

[What?]

It only works within the range of my librarys authority. I mainly operate in Korea, so I can call anywhere in Korea, but if I go overseas, I cant because it conflicts with the authority of other tellers.

Kwon Jia left early in the morning, so by now she must be crossing the border between China and Russia.

If I wanted to call her right now, I would have to contact a teller in charge of that area and connect the line.

I didnt know any tellers overseas.

As a result, there was practically no way to contact Kwon Jia until she arrived at her destination, except for using an international phone call with her cell phone.

I told her to contact me when she arrives safely, so it wont be too late to talk to her then.

[Hmm. Well, I guess theres no choice then. I hope everything works out well.]

Lets hope so.

Baek Ryeon felt frustrated by the unexpected situation, but he didnt show it.

He knew that Yu-hyun was more worried than him, even though he pretended not to be.

Yu-hyun came from the future and used his knowledge of regression to gain a lot of benefits and grow quickly.

He didnt just stop at his own growth, but he also changed the flow of this world itself.

He knew how much effort he had put into it.

He was always by his side, closer than anyone else.

He must be worried a lot, even though he doesnt show it.

The world changing meant that a completely different future unfolded than what Yu-hyun knew.

His knowledge of the future was practically useless.

It wasnt all like that, but losing an overwhelming advantage was a painful loss.

Who could empathize and understand that loss if not him?

I hope everything goes well from now on.

He felt uneasy for some reason.

It wasnt just a hunch as a swords ego.

Dream.

Baek Ryeon suddenly felt like he had a dream in the past.

He was a sword, but she had lost him in the past.

He didnt remember how he was made or why he became like this.

The only thing he knew was that he was desperately looking for someone.

He hadnt slept since he woke up with Yu-hyuns help, but strangely enough, he felt like he had slept this time.

Was it a mistake or did he see meaningless illusions without knowing it?

He couldnt find a clear answer.

The memory was faint and elusive as if it would slip away from his grasp.

There was only one thing she remembered.

Someone was crying next to me.

Who was that?

The image was too blurry to recall, but he remembered feeling sad when he saw it.

Was that person the one he had been looking for?

Was it related to the memory that had disappeared now?

She didnt know.

The more she knew, the more he felt like sinking into a swamp.

Baek Ryeon couldnt find an answer no matter how hard he thought, but he didnt want to worry Yu-hyun so she kept his mouth shut.

***

Shamath was locked in a disposal box and bowed his head low as a lowly mongrel.

It didnt seem like he could escape by leaving him alone.

The disposal box was designed to be impossible to open from the inside unless someone opened it from the outside.

It wasnt impossible to break the disposal box from the inside. But Shamath lacked the strength.

He wasnt a low-ranking employee at Celestial Corporation, but his position as a manager wasnt enviable either. He had no say in being called just a manager.

Tsk. How long do I have to stay here? Its boring.

Tell me about it.

Two tellers from the surveillance department who were guarding the disposal box couldnt stand their boredom and chatted.This chapter is updated by nov(e)(l)biin.com

Do we really need to guard this place? Hes already locked in the disposal box.

Thats what Im saying. I really dont get it. Why do we have to waste our time here?

We cant just skip out either. Chief Utata ordered us personally.

Oh. I see. Then well wait at the designated point.

Do that.

Utata nodded and spoke at that moment.

The two tellers suddenly thrust their light spears toward Utata.

They were arrest spears given to the surveillance tellers to eliminate any potential threats.

Whoosh!

Hmm?

Utata, who was pierced by the arrest spears, couldnt understand what was going on.

What are you doing?

What are we doing? Thats what we want to ask you. Utata, sir. No, something thats wearing his disguise. Did you think we were so easy to fool?

Huh. Did you go crazy? This is absurd.

Absurd? No way. Were doing the right thing.

Really.

Utata sighed as if he couldnt believe it.

And then, his voice changed.

How did you find out?

A cold and dreadful voice of something else.

The two tellers turned pale at the sound.

You underestimated us too much. How dare you imitate Utatas appearance and try to deceive us and get that traitor out?

Oh. Is that so? There was a secret code among the surveillance tellers in the keyword I said in the middle. Does that mean that the word I used without knowing was designated point?

We dont have to answer you.

The surveillance teller felt a chill down his spine as he realized that the fake Utata had figured out their code in an instant.

This guy, he didnt just take on the appearance of Utata.

He didnt seem to care about being hit by the arrest spears, and his insight to see through their code in a flash was

Whatever happened, were going to arrest you here. You tried to fool us and get that traitor out, so you shouldnt have any complaints. Just think of it as bad luck.

Thats why I dont like smart guys.

The fake Utata said that and moved his feet to get up.

Stupid! You think our arrest spears are just

The teller who was about to shout that couldnt help but widen his eyes.

Crackle!

Huh?

The binding spear that had pierced through the fake Utatas body and pinned him to the ground began to crack.

What, what is?

A binding spear that can restrain a chief-level?!

Before their questions could end.

Clang!

The binding spear shattered and scattered fragments in all directions.

The two tellers immediately tried to prepare for the next response.

Thats when the fake Utatas hands moved.

His gloved hands twisted strangely, and from inside his palms, countless black tentacles poured out like a waterfall and wrapped around the two tellers.

Resistance was futile.

The countless thread-like tentacles exerted force.

Crunch!

With a chilling sound, the two tellers flesh was horribly destroyed and collapsed.

The two tellers died without making a sound.

Did you try to resist with your body, trusting in your protection? How foolish.

The fake Utatas appearance had changed completely into a different being.

A black hood over his head and a baggy black outfit.

The countless tentacles were retracted back into his wide sleeves.

How nice it would have been if you just fell for it stupidly? You wasted time by thinking too much, when it could have ended quickly.

The intruder muttered as he stepped over the two tellers corpses that turned into dust and scattered.

He approached the disposal bin.

Shamath, who had been watching this situation from before, trembled as he saw the black being coming towards him.

Wh-who are you?

Come out. Manager Shamath.

Two red glows flowed out from inside the black hood.

They were curved like crescents, as if there were two red new moons floating in the space.

Its liberation.
