67 – Past Savior (1)
“I… ….”
Sejeong’s voice trembled.
Blurred speech.
At the end of those words, no,
In the words that will follow soon, the joys and sorrows of Siun will be mixed.
Not only the joys and sorrows, but also Siwoon’s values and life as a whole will be shaken.
Lee Si-woon averted his gaze and looked at Se-jeong’s downward-looking eyes.
It was as if he had an intuition that that anxiety would soon become a reality.
“I know….”
Sejeong’s lips moved again.
Siwoon’s eyes shake. The slightly shaken eyes are intense.
‘Ha, poor bastard, I can’t do it anymore. It’s time for me to intervene.’
『Siun-ah.』
For a moment, Siwoon looked into the air in surprise.
That voice,
It was the voice of a strange man in my ears.
‘What, what?’
Siwoon jumped up reflexively in surprise.
The sight around him was astounding,
No, because, like a movie, everything stopped.
A customer at the next table stopped while glancing at Sejeong’s thigh.
And Seulgi, the bartender, freezes while waiting for the customer to pour her a drink while holding out her glass to the customer.
And Jinhee stopped with her hand stretched out on the bathroom handle.
And.
With her hand on her drinking glass and her lips slightly open to continue her next words, Sejeong doesn’t move.
‘What happened?’
It was as if time had stopped.
I got up and looked around. Numerous bottles of alcohol filled the shelves.
And the music that flowed and stopped.
I walked straight to the window.
‘Isn’t everything stopped?’
Late night.
A man who does not move with one leg shoved into the taxi with the taxi door open and people who stop moving around him.
And.
Into the convenience store across from the lights on, a part-timer stopped with his index finger picking up a coin that a customer had thrown on the table with a hard expression on his face.
‘What happened? What? Suddenly?’
I need to hear Sejeong’s answer soon.
After hearing that answer, I gave up everything and started again……
Siwoon remembered the man’s voice he had just heard.
‘Is this really a dream?’
『It is not a dream.』
Siwoon’s eyes flashed open. He immediately steps back and becomes alert.
A cute guy. Is this the first time you hear my voice?
The reaction is cute.
“Who are you? Where are you talking?”
『Because you’re not down. And I had to meet you once.”
“What?”
In the bar where all things have stopped, the lights illuminate the color of Siwoon’s skin.
Now. It’s time to show him for a while.
‘The taboo technique I implanted in my body right before I die.’
A man appeared in front of Siwoon.
“…… !”
Siwoon, who steps back immediately, raises his fists as if he is ready to fight.
『No need to be nervous, Siun-ah. I came to talk with you for a while.”
Man, that’s why I stood there, and said calmly.
Strangely, however, the man’s voice sounded familiar to Siwoon, not unfamiliar to him.
“You appear out of nowhere and ask who you are!”
A man in front of Shiun.
A silver armor that covered his tall body well.
And the blue eyes shining under the red hair.
A rusty scabbard tied behind his back.
‘This, who is this?’
Siwoon looked at him quietly.
‘Does it feel familiar? No, something… ‘
Strangely, I was not wary of a man who appeared out of nowhere with a sword on.
‘I don’t think it will harm me for some reason.’
『Right. No harm to you 』
“What, what?”
Siwoon opened her eyes even wider in surprise.
It’s surprising.
I read her inner thoughts at once.
“I asked who you are for the fifth time.”
『I am you』
The man spoke in a low voice.
The man had to make Siwoon understand now.
From noble mtl dot com
“What do you mean? What is it?”
『You are my reincarnation.』
“Reincarnated?”
Lee Si-woon.
That’s why he’s staring at the man.
It’s a bonus that he looks at me like he’s crazy.
‘I know what he is doing right now.’
It must be catching body signals.
‘Because I’ve been watching your life through your already resonated consciousness.’
On the other hand,
Siwoon’s thoughts.
‘That bastard’s body signal has no response of lies.’
『You got it right, it’s not a lie.』
“Could it be that you just read my thoughts?”
『Well then. You use your body signals to infer other people’s emotions.”
“You seem to really know everything about me.”
Siwoon rubbed his temples trying to come to his senses from the intoxication of cutting his hair.
‘I don’t think it’s a dangerous situation. But I have to keep my mind tight. I can’t read his mind. I don’t know what they’ll do to me.’
Clap clap!
The man laughed and clapped.
Lee Si-woon at the ridiculous reaction. So, the man’s descendant looks at the man.
『Okay. It’s not as dangerous as you think. And you have grown a lot without realizing it?”
“You really seem to be reading my mind. What do you mean it has grown?”
Wouldn’t it have been like before… In a situation like this, you wouldn’t have thought to come to your senses and would have just been shocked and shaking your legs? But for now, putting surprise aside, you’re trying to analyze me first, aren’t you? It means that you have grown a lot.”
“I don’t know what you are talking about. However… What you just said I’m your successor? Could it be that the successor meant that you were the person who lived in my previous life?”
Ha.
It’s only natural that I don’t believe it.
‘But this is what Siwoon Lee looks like.’
A man captures the flow of his consciousness through his eyes, so seeing him from the front like this was so new and amazing.
“I-I can’t believe this!!”
Siwoon spoke to himself with a very surprised face.
Well, the man deliberately showed me something to surprise me. This is because the landscape of this space has now been changed to the universe.
This is the background of the universe where many stars twinkle around Siwoon and the surroundings are filled with pitch-black darkness.
『Wonderful? I’m answering in case you ask me in advance. Before I died, I planted magic in my body and died. That trick was absolutely necessary. Now I’m in resonance with you. Stopping time for a while and also making the scenery like this.”
“That sounds ridiculous. Are you a god?”
Lee Si-woon was an atheist.
However.
The scene unfolding in front of me was an ability that could only be performed by a god, so I asked if he was a god.
『I told you, I am your former life and you are my next life.』
“I don’t even know what you are talking about…… “
Shiwoon stopped talking as if he couldn’t believe it.
The man stopped talking.
“……”
The guy stared at the man without saying a word, with his eyes open, his body not moving at all, or not moving at all.
『You can’t think or say anything right now, right? You said This is the power of my resonant sorcery. Time has stopped for a moment now, you have to believe me. I have something to tell you.”
“Pu, pooh!”
He seemed to be suffocating, so he immediately let go of his magic.
Now then. The boy must have been frustrated, so he took a deep breath and let it out.
I still can’t believe it.
I think I need to get him to understand through a long 30-minute conversation.
***
30 Minutes have passed.
Well, as the man mentioned above, during this time he was desperately talking to him to understand the situation.
I don’t believe it yet, but the eyes that dismiss the man’s words as those of a madman seem to have faded.
“So, you were killed by a man named Cain, and that Cain will reappear without dying and wreak havoc in the other world, so in order to prevent the second coming of the man named Cain after you die, plant a spell in your body, The magic was a magic that allowed me to briefly reunite with you after thousands of years?”
『That’s right.』
“Sounds crazy. It must sound crazy.”
Siwoon shook his head.
However.
Siwoon, whose expression has changed, opens his mouth again.
“It sounds crazy, obviously. You read my mind, you know all my past,
When I saw you strangely, I felt warm and familiar. And even though you appeared in front of me and disturbed me at such a real dog-like timing, strangely, I didn’t hate you.”
『Thank you for that? There is nothing so sad when a reincarnated person is hated by ‘I’ who lives the life of the next life.”
“But your body right now in front of me is fake, and is it just one part of your consciousness?”
Kyaa!
The man was delighted and clapped once more.
Because the man himself admired his analytical skills.
‘I guess that stupid Lee Si-woon from before has disappeared.’
“Why do you keep clapping? Do you feel like you’re not sober?”
『Because it makes me happy. To put it in the words of your world with your amazing analysis, ‘because you hit the facts.’ Let me ask you one thing, how did you know that I am a fake?”
Facts? Seeing the use of the word, I don’t think I’m an old person.
“I see it with my eyes. Your left chest doesn’t shake. That means your heart isn’t beating, there’s no blood in your blood, and you’re not even breathing. And half of your face is transparent. There are a lot of puzzles.”
Pair! Match! Match!
Wow! I was so happy that the man clapped three times.
The man’s white teeth shone brightly.
How about you? The ‘heir’ who lived full of sloppiness is proving that ‘I’ve grown this much!’ By showing a superior analytical ability than the man in the previous life who was called the swordsman.
Wouldn’t it be proud of you?
“After-“
Siwoon shook his head and sighed.
The man who laughed has lost his teeth.
‘I’m a bit dumbfounded and angry.’
“Let’s say you are all right. But it’s a nonsense situation. I was waiting for an answer that could decide the rest of my life, but the reason that suddenly appeared. Shouldn’t there be a reason for that? Say it.”
『I’m having a hard time watching you. And because I couldn’t watch the failure you couldn’t handle anymore.”
He doesn’t even nod his head as if he doesn’t understand. He stares at the guy.
『I’m sorry, but there’s a kid named Cheon Se-jeong over there. Actually… There’s a reason you love that child so much, and I’m hoping you’ll be connected to him this time.”
As the man said his words, he turned his head slightly to look at Cheon Se-jeong.
It’s still pretty.
And,
My heart hurts so much.
‘Pria…. This is how they see you.’
The man’s eyes heat up.
“So you mean, you appeared like a ghost like this to connect me and Cheon Sejeong? You mean? And even because of the action of a bizarre magic trick, the reincarnated person came to visit me, the reincarnated person, like this?”
The man nodded his head.
This is a story that is completely unbelievable.
However.
“I’ll pretend you’re right and tell me. Because in my life, scientifically incomprehensible things happen anyway. If you’re right, how are you going to help me?”
『I will turn back the time. Instead, it was a technique I cast right before I died, so the resonant magic power is weak. So, just by facing you like this, I consumed most of the mana contained in the spell, so I can’t turn much time. From the time you turn back time, it’s up to you.”
The man’s story was truly unrealistic.
Reincarnated.
Heir.
Does that even exist?
Suddenly, my head is complicated.
Once.
“End the story you just talked about. Saying that there is a reason why I like Cheon Se-jeong so much.”
The man hesitated.
Unexpectedly, the equipment he was wearing gave off an old-fashioned smell and atmosphere, but his tone was like a person living at the same time as Siwoon.
The man said.
I’m sure you’re very curious about why you’re so obsessed with Cheon Se-jeong. I’ll tell you.』
Siwoon’s complexion changed at the man’s words. Siwoon’s eyes moved to Sejeong.
Her gaze was lowered in the stopped time, like a stone statue of a goddess.
“What is the reason?”
『The reason is….』
