Sung-hyun first asked a question that would determine the answer to all the hypotheses.
“Before, I said variable.”
“Did I say that to you directly?”
“It doesn’t matter. It doesn’t matter that you expressed it that way.”
“but.”
Anyway, the diary I left at that time would have had all the basic information written down.
“How exactly is it that I am invisible to your abilities?”
Carl seemed to ponder this question for a while.
how should i explain
“I wish the question could be a little more specific.”
“If I’m a variable, it means that the future can change depending on what I do, but isn’t that the case yet?”
“Let me tell you the answer first, I don’t know. That’s why I called you a variable.”
“Does that mean that the future hasn’t changed yet?”
Carl nodded, sipping the car in front of him, and answered.
“okay. The future of human extinction has not changed yet.”
It was an answer that was difficult for Seong-hyun to accept.
No one knows, but Seong-hyeon is the only person who has returned.
‘…the only person right?’
But as much as Carl called variables.
Also, as it was expressed as the only invisible person, Seonghyeon would be the only person who had a special experience of regression.
So it was hard to accept.
The power that Seong-hyeon has now was at a level that was different from others, even if I thought about it completely excluding subjective things.
There is no limit to his magical powers, and all wounds are healed.
It also purifies all abnormalities.
It had the ability to use it not only for itself, but also for others.
“but. One thing has changed.”
“What has changed?”
In the face of Carl speaking, he saw things he had never seen before.
It was as if he had found a new hope.
“It has never been like this before, but a new future is starting to appear.”
“Didn’t I just say that the future hasn’t changed until now?”
“okay. It did. It’s a bit of a special case.”
“A special case?”
“I don’t know if it’s in the book you brought, but I can set the time for the future I see.”
It was definitely something that could not be confirmed in the diary.
“But so far, no other future has been seen or opened. Surely your powers are great enough to change all futures, but strangely, something was happening.”
“What kind of thing is going to happen…”
Finally the answer you’ve been waiting for.
It all depends on the answer to this question.
“Well… a future in which civilians will be greatly harmed…”
answer following this.
It was the answer he had been waiting for, and it was also the answer he wanted.
“A future in which the door makes a drastic change?”
With Cal’s answer, all of Seonghyeon’s doubts were resolved.
‘It was like this too.’
He said that he could see a different future.
That may be an excessive leap, but it is probably the result of Sunghyun himself.
This meant that Carl confirmed the results that were changed due to the variable Seong-hyeon, even if it was weak.
But what if it was the future that the door had seen from the beginning that caused a sudden change?
‘It’s the future that would have happened if I hadn’t dealt with the owner of the door.’
The only owner of the remaining door is the owner of the first-class door.
And I don’t know if I’ll meet you, but the master of the dimension certainly existed.
‘Is the future in which mankind will perish, the future where we will meet the master of the dimension?’
Judging from the contents of the letter the owner of the 2nd-level door exchanged with the dimension owner, the owners of several doors appearing in Seonghyeon’s dimension now must be the masters of that dimension.
I don’t know what the master’s intentions are, but what is certain is that he is aware of the existence of Seonghyeon.
“But what kind of future did you see?”
“Maybe this is the future you and I want, but it was a very peaceful future.”
“A peaceful future.”
“The only difference is that the door didn’t exist?”
I was speaking quite lightly, but the future without the door was not just a peaceful future.
Because it meant that you would never get what you could get at the door again.
“I wanted to know more, but nothing changed before that, nothing after that.”
“I’m sorry. If the door is in the future, it means that something big has happened.”
“Maybe…it’s not because it’s going to happen, it’s because it could happen.”
Only then did Seong-hyun understand what Carl said was special.
The sword is the ability to hear from the past from the future.
That meant we could only see one future at a time.
If you see a different future, you can’t see the future you saw before.
However, he said that he saw two futures, which meant that the future would be different depending on which choice he made.
“Then are you going to answer my questions now?”
“Do you have any questions for me?”
At Seonghyeon’s question, Carl showed a light smile and said:
“It would be strange not to. At least you are invisible to me.”
“So what are you curious about?”
Carl didn’t ask the question right away.
It may be that I have quite a lot of questions to ask, or my head may have gone blank when I was given the opportunity to ask a question, but after thinking about it for a long time, I opened my mouth.
“What is your true identity?”
“If you ask such an abstract question, I don’t think even an ordinary person can answer it.”
“Not long ago, you subjugated a second-class door by yourself. That too in less than 10 minutes.”
Carl was also a person who knew better than anyone how the door changed this time.
“How the hell? That was the first thought that came to my mind. While possessing the limits of the human race, he perfectly subjugated the mutated level 2 door. It’s crazy and it doesn’t make sense, but you did it.”
“So what are you curious about? How did I subdue the second-class gates alone?”
“no. The source of your strength. The overwhelming power that is absolutely impossible with healing power alone.”
Usually, asking such a question is also a question asked by those with a strong craving for power, but Carl’s expression seemed to show a genuinely pure passion for learning.
“Even with a sword that emits that light, 10 minutes is unacceptable. It doesn’t look like you’re taking the drug and getting rid of that side effect with cleansing.”
Seonghyun thought it was possible to doubt it, but putting it out of his mouth was a different story.
If you say something like that just because you can’t acknowledge the other person’s strength, it means that you already think it could be.
“Do I need to convince you of why I am strong?”
At Seonghyeon’s momentary change, Carl didn’t say anything and just looked at Seonghyeon.
“knife. Like you said last time, don’t you know too well?”
“…what?”
“You did that to me last time. The future of your death is the destruction of mankind.”
“…It did.”
Carl also meant instinctively knowing.
Seonghyeon can do whatever he wants with a knife if he wants.
So, at the last moment of our breakup, he was talking about the reason he had to live, not other words.
“Just because I can’t kill you, doesn’t mean you have to be okay.”
“I admit I just stumbled, but isn’t this pretty exaggerated?”
As Carl said, it could have been an overreaction.
In a way, it was to show off his power.
Seonghyeon looked at such a knife and smiled.
“I make that decision. Is it excessive? is it appropriate Because your just remarks are rude and ignore all my efforts so far.”
“…I see. admit it Apologize.”
Karl was also very well aware of the side effects of Seong-hyeon’s healing ability, so he had no choice but to agree.
Even if he received a different price each time he used healing, Carl was not confident.
He will feel the pain of having his arm torn off and a hole in his stomach being pierced instead.
“done. Any other questions?”
“Do you know anything about the sudden change of this gate?”
Again, it was a sharp question.
“Why are you asking such a question?”
“Well…the places you’ve appeared in seem to handle the sudden change of doors particularly well. I thought it was impossible if you didn’t know something. You don’t see the future like me.”
What answer should I give?
As much as he did not have faith in Seong-hyeon, Carl was not a reliable person.
Even though there were reasons for what they had done so far, they could not justify what they had done.
However, Seong-hyeon decided to answer everything to this question.
Far from trusting each other, they had been in a war of nerves until recently, but the reason for this choice was simple.
At least he knew what kind of future Carl wanted and what kind of efforts he had made for that future.
“Did you say you knew the future of the door change?”
“okay.”
“So, did you know exactly when the change would happen?”
“It… it changed every time. every time I see you.”
Why is Sunghyun asking this question?
Also, what is the feeling you get while answering?
“You, maybe…”
“okay. I can control when the door makes a change.”
As soon as he heard Seonghyeon’s answer, Carl’s expression became quite serious.
Even though it seemed to keep thinking about something, it repeatedly seemed to realize something again.
After repeating this for a long time, Carl suddenly made eye contact with Seong-hyeon, and then opened his mouth.
“okay. I did.”
“what?”
“You were not invisible.”
“If it’s not invisible, what is it?”
“It was not the invisible, it was the invisible.”
Only then did Carl understand that he could not see the future related to Seong-hyeon.
That Seong-hyun was not an invisible, mere variable.
“What difference does that make?”
“You said you can control sudden changes in the door. Whether the method is negotiating with someone or winning. I mean, you weren’t the kind of person I could judge Malchus by looking at.”
“Tell me more.”
“The place where the door exists is a different dimension. The fact that your opinions are reflected in the will and intentions there means that you are not on the same level as us in the first place. It’s different.”
It’s Seong-hyeon. I’ve heard the word gyeok directly from the owner of the door before, but Karl mentioned the word gyeok even though he had never done that.
Of course, I don’t know the details of the story, but Seong-hyeon was already realizing that it was very different from the usual case.
“Now the question is gone. In the meantime, I was wondering why the moment when the door changes keeps changing.”
“The other future you ever saw. When is that?”
“I don’t know. It may be the distant future that cannot be seen, but it may also be something I cannot see like you now.”
Cal, who was answering Seonghyeon’s question, looked like he realized something this time too.
“for a moment. If your reason for not being able to see when that future will happen is… does that mean you can also set the time when that future will happen?”
“What. It could be.”
Cal, who understood what this meant, said with a disappointed smile.
