profit.
The sound of a chair being pushed back resonates throughout the room.
Concern Counseling Department. Obviously, it should be a place to listen to and solve other people’s troubles. These days, whenever I come here, it seems that I only worry about myself.
‘Ghost that guy. What kind of scheme was it?’
The day the request text message came from him. I made a call with the feeling that I needed to hear what kind of request I was entrusting.
As for the results, I couldn’t find anything suspicious about the request itself.
but.
「A Ghost asked for such a request? That’s strange. Why did you act like that without seeing me? … . ah! By the way, I was thinking of requesting that request from Kim Do-yoon later.”
When I contacted Seol Chae-hwa separately, I was able to hear such an answer.
‘Should I just assume that Ghost did it because he was over-motivated?’
At least Seol Chae-hwa seemed to think so.
After repeated thoughts, I shook my head.
‘no. It can’t be.’
Ghost is destined to betray Seol Chae-hwa. Knowing that clearly, I had no choice but to doubt every single action of the Ghost.
However, as the time of betrayal was later than originally planned, the number of other cases could not help but be considered.
‘Have you made up your mind not to betray?’
The original Ghost reveals the reason for his betrayal, saying that he was only a member of the Septagram from the beginning.
In fact, if you look closely, the word betrayal should have been seen as inappropriate. It’s just that he went into hiding as Septagram’s spy from the beginning and revealed his true identity.
‘Or the calculation came out that it would be better to hide as a spy a little longer… … Should I look at it?’
There was no place where Septagram did not infiltrate its members to exert influence in various ways. Signal, where I am in school, and Chilsung, a company called the pride of Korea, were no exception.
Bondi Ghost receives an order from Septagram when Seolchaehwa is competing for the position of owner of Chilseong. It is an order to frame her and bring her down.
‘Now that Seolchaehwa is in full swing to raise his position within Chilseong. It must have been a decision made because this was a good time to strike back.’
Septagram gave such an order with the calculation that when Seolchaehwa became the owner of Chilseong, it would have the greatest adverse effect on their actions. The flow of the original was like this.
How was it even with Yoosung? He was almost eliminated from Neverland just because he had the nature of being a ‘hero’. It would be shocking to say that it is called Seolchaehwa in such a yard.
They left Ghost as a spy, even giving up at the best of times.
What is the reason?
‘Should I put the lie I told Aram Kang into reality?’
Taking advantage of what the Septagrams were doing. The operation to reveal the internal circumstances by stepping into the septagram and becoming a member of the organization.
The worry didn’t last long.
‘I guess that’s not the case. First of all, in order to become a member of the organization, I have to accept the Super Nova virus into my body… . I can’t risk taking that risk.’
Even though I have the confidence to subdue the virus, that was only when I was in normal condition.
Operating on others and operating on one’s own body. There was bound to be an obvious difference.
Tring!
I heard a text notification sound from my smartphone on the desk.
[How are you doing?]
It was a text from Yurim Pyo.
It was just a normal text message, but for some reason, I felt uncomfortable.
＜Of course you’re doing well. It’s just school life, but there must be something special.＞
[I didn’t know there were so many things my mother did. I thought it would be over in a week at the latest… . At this rate, I need to see it for up to one more month.]
＜It’s a lot of trouble.＞
[i miss you.]
A word that comes in without even blinking.
Reading that reply made me feel as if someone had grabbed my heart.
Before becoming a psychological counselor, I was a person, and on the other hand, I was also a man when I was strong. Receiving such a text message, of course, I couldn’t help but feel a lot of emotions.
nevertheless.
＜Singy. When I come back from work, I’ll meet you in school.＞
I deliberately pretended to be insensitive.
[Mr. Kim Do-yoon.]
＜why.＞
After that, there was no text message for a while.
What did he want to say to me, so he waited so long? What the hell is making her worry so much?
“… … .”
Thanks to that empty time, I also got wet with useless thoughts.
＜Pyoyurim.＞
[yes. Please speak.]
This time I called her name first.
＜Didn’t I ask you to call me anytime if I need your help?＞
[Are you in need of my help?]
＜Then there is. Will you help me even if it’s dangerous?＞
[I’m not sure what the question is about. If Doyoon Kim runs into a dangerous situation, I will go to help no matter what. but.]
Pyo Yu-rim’s reply followed that.
[If Doyoon Kim is trying to do something dangerous on his own, I will stop him from doing the opposite.]
Even though it was a text message, a very determined voice seemed to come through.
I didn’t intend to get help anyway, but seeing this text only strengthened my resolve.
＜Thank you for your concern.＞
This was the best answer I could give.
***
Kang Ah-ram contacted me.
It was about two days after the last time we had a meeting in the studio where she lived.
The content is that he set a place and time to call his younger brother. There was talk of where to join on the day.
and.
“How have you been?”
The day of the appointment came.
The meeting place is one of Signal’s specialties. It was in front of the clock tower where a huge bell rang every hour.
“How have you been?”
Aram Kang answers my question bluntly. As it was the weekend, she was wearing plain clothes, not school uniform.
He was wearing hot pants made of jeans, a short-sleeved T-shirt that exposed his shoulder blades, and a cap.
On the other hand, I was wearing long sleeves and long pants, and since it was quite chilly in the spring, I was even wearing a hoodie with a zipper.
“Aren’t you cold wearing that?”
“Because I have a lot of heat in my body. Why are you, a boy, dressed like a bagel?”
“You are strange.”
“You’ll be fine. If you have time to worry about how you dress, think about doing well in your future work. If you make a mistake, you fall behind, really.”
After leaving the signal, we immediately called a call taxi and headed to the meeting place.
“hey.”
no running car. As I was staring out the window blankly, Kang Ah-ram suddenly called me.
“why.”
“I know it’s kind of funny to come here and say things like this. Still, I told you last time. I’m sincere when it comes to family matters.”
“What do you want to say?”
“Can you really do well?”
indeed. No matter how confident I was in my abilities, it was natural for me to be worried because the safety of my family depended on it.
“are you okay. My nature is also natural, but I have tried to rehabilitate people once before.”
The first request Seol Chae-hwa gave me. It reminded me of going to the Thousand Club and scolding a guy named Lee Sang-won.
I didn’t know when I first visited, but at that time, the people Lee Sang-won was involved with were also septagrams. It was a very unfortunate coincidence.
“oh… . Are you experienced? How exactly did you regenerate it?”
“Is there anything special about regenerating people? It scared me so much that I came to my senses.”
“Have you ever hit or something?”
“Ah~ You don’t like seeing your younger brother get hurt?”
Aram Kang hurriedly shook his head, as if it was absurd.
“no no! Quite the contrary! If I can make him come to his senses, I don’t mind beating him so that he becomes a real piece of sh*t.”
“Looking at the reaction, it’s clear that they’re really close siblings.”
“It won’t be easy. that guy He’s an adult just like me. A person with a rather troublesome nature.”
“Is it the ability to become invisible?”
“what. Do you know that far? How much do you really know?”
“Is that important? It’s important that I save your brother.”
Since then, a few more trivial stories have come and gone. In the meantime, the taxi driver silently arrived at the place we were supposed to go to.
“Let’s walk separately from here. I deliberately kept some distance from the meeting place. I thought you might be watching from nearby.”
After getting out of the taxi, Kang Ah-ram took the lead by touching his cap.
I looked at the place she was heading to with one arm on my waist and a cross-legged posture.
‘Have the septagrams even concocted each other? Why does everyone like that place so much?’
Coincidentally, the building she entered eventually became a club.
“for a moment.”
As I sighed and tried to follow him in, the guard guarding the entrance started looking at me up and down.
‘Oh, no way.’
After a while, the expected words flowed from the guard.
“You can’t go in. The karma is full right now. Waiting for the top is okay, but the style is not very good. Come back to figure out the subject.”
They suffered from so-called water management.
what about this It was the moment when I realized how comfortable I was when I was asked by Seol Chae-hwa.
‘Even that guard guy. I’m not an ordinary person, I’m an adult.’
I don’t know what kind of nature he had, but his eyes were shining brightly.
Against adults, it is basically less effective when using nature. If you are determined and raise your mana, you can forcibly make it work like Kang A-ram did.
‘There are too many eyes here. If I tried openly, I might be suspicious.’
The situation was different from the last guard at the Thousand Club. There weren’t very many people near the place where the guard was standing.
sh*t. Aram Kang. If the place you were supposed to meet with your brother was at a club, tell me in advance.
I muttered to myself and decided to find another entry route.
Fortunately, finding the access road was not difficult.
The club I visited last time was underground, so it was impossible to sneak in, but this place was different. Rather, it was a club designed with the surrounding view in mind, so it was a structure that went upstairs.
[‘Delusion Practice’ is activated.]
“Suck! Whoops!”
Parkour was demonstrated through nature.
I climbed up the wall, climbed onto the wall, and threw myself toward the terrace that gave access to the upper floors of the building. It was after confirming that no one was nearby.
rattle!
Safe by the margin.
I barely grabbed the iron bar on the terrace and climbed up using the strength of my arms.
“Whoa. Even before the start, what kind of high school student is this?”
Shaking off his dusty hands, he muttered to himself as if grumbling.
I managed to get into the club somehow. But there were still barriers I had to overcome.
‘Now I have to find out where Kang A-ram went to this club… … .’
The original plan was to follow Kang Ah-ram as if he were tailing him and reach the final meeting place. However, that plan was disrupted when I was cut at the entrance.
It would have been nice if we had known in advance where we would meet in the club.
Kang Ah-ram’s younger brother came out quite thoroughly as to what was bothering him so much. After arriving at the club, he said that if he gave me a call, he would send an acquaintance to invite me to his room.
‘This time, I wasn’t formally invited to the club, so I can’t go in and out.’
It wasn’t that there was no way.
[Activates ‘Sense Control’.]
[The hearing is greatly strengthened.]
[The sense of smell is greatly strengthened.]
The natural ability to arbitrarily manipulate the sensitivity of a particular sense. Through this, I began to track Aram Kang’s smell and voice.
“Ugh… … .”
It wasn’t easy.
Inside the club, there were many people other than Kang Ah-ram, and there were many factors that caused noise.
Not only were all sorts of odd smells and noise mixed in, but too much information came in all at once, and it felt like my brain was about to burn.
“Where the f*ck are you touching right now? Do I look good? yes?”
The moment I wanted to take a break and start again. Aram Kang’s voice was clearly heard amidst the various noises. I identified the place through the smell that came from her.
‘It’s there.’
It looks like he got caught up in something happening.
Anyway, now that we’ve figured out the location, we need to hurry to her before she relocates. I hurriedly moved on, clutching my throbbing brow.
and where they arrived.
“Aagh! This woman catches a live person!”
“What is he saying now! You fumbled my butt first!”
There was Kang Ah-ram, who was breaking the arm of a man who was three inches taller than him.
I touched my forehead again.
‘Should I really make a fuss in this situation?’
In the end, it was a situation where I had no choice but to step out.
I assure you, if you leave it as it is, you will completely forget about the strategy and start a fight. It was difficult. We were in a position where there was nothing good about us because we were getting attention unnecessarily.
“hey.”
I approached Aram Kang and started talking to him.
“What dude! What else are you interfering with? … ah.”
The expression on his face as he looked at me was truly spectacle.
