214. Past Poem (1)
“Then maybe your wife knows too.”
“What do you mean!”
“The fact that you are involved in a cult called Asylum.”
Relic’s expression suddenly changed.
Sweat was pouring down his neck.
He was expressing with his whole body that he was nervous even without words.
“hahahaha… Jae, that’s a funny joke. Is it something that’s trendy these days? It’s so out of context that it’s hard to understand.”
“You look like asking how did you know?”
“·······.”
Relic’s forced smile hardened once again.
How did you know?
I know because I’m the author of this novel.
Relic has been a member of Asylum since the start of the novel.
So the fact that I was possessed is not a variable at all.
Being a professor at the Imperial University, I thought I would have reached the position of an executive at Asylum by now, so I decided to pull my fishing rod.
It would be a complete disaster if it went bad.
“Wh, I have no idea what you’re talking about.”
“Ha·······.”
As expected, it’s hard to make them confess unless they bring in conclusive evidence.
I hate to do this, but I had to resort to a rather rough method.
“Professor Relic. Choose one of the two. Tell the truth and save my family’s lives. Kill me right now and run away. Oh, either way, my family will die. If I don’t hear from the police within 10 minutes, It’s meant to capture your family.”
“Ah… Ah ah…”
Relic’s face began to turn blue.
If there is no evidence, it is enough to make it.
If you press it with force, the person himself will spit out the evidence, so there’s no need to secure it and insert it.
Relic wanted to have a moment of conflict, but he immediately lowered his tail.
“No, that’s right… Being in an Asylum…”
Looks like he hasn’t gotten out of Asylum yet.
That was good news.
If you eat that much, the probability of being an executive is high enough.
“Only answer the question, Professor Relic. Is it true that there are laymen, superintendents, laybishops, archbishops, and popes in Asylum’s ranks?”
“No, that’s right…”
Relic looked slightly surprised.
I thought you couldn’t figure this out.
It can be said that most of the structures of the Asylums have already been discovered by the Imperial Counterintelligence Agency.
The problem is that we can’t catch all of them because there are so many dirty loach-like dots.
“Which position do you fit into?”
“·······.”
“Answer in 3 seconds. 3. 2-“
“Pyeongjugyo. Pyongbishop is the first…”
Pyeongju Bridge.
It was a close call, but it was a rank corresponding to an executive.
An executive rank that has never arrested a single person.
A valuable resource to trace Asylum’s leadership hierarchy, which had been shrouded in a veil, had just been unearthed.
“Professor Relic. You will now become an undercover agent under my command. You will provide me with unlimited information on Asylum, and I will secretly pay you accordingly.”
“Now, hold on…! I can’t betray Asylum-“
“I will not give you the right to veto.”
It was nice to hear that Asylum ran a lie detector every day to find spies.
Avoiding such things is up to Relic from now on, it is not a matter for me to think about.
The only thing that matters is that if Relic runs away, his family will die.
“Oh, no… No… I’m saying I’m in too deep… I can’t escape. They’re going to annihilate my family. Could you please look after me? Even if you look at your old relationship?”
“·······?”
Old love?
What the hell are you talking about?
I wondered if this Relic had lived in another world line for a while.
“Professor Relic, listen carefully. Whichever you choose, it doesn’t change that your life is at stake. It’s just that by risking your life by my side, you get a chance to get your name written in the history books. “
“·······!”
“Then think again and decide. Will you lose your family and run away with the cults for the rest of your life and watch the continent collapse? Or risk your life to protect the continent.”
It’s a bit strange to say this, but I believe in Relic’s heart.
Relic is not an evil character, even though he may be mean and nasty.
The reason he joined Earthylum in the first place was when he received power from a demon and cured an incurable disease when he was young.
The fact that he is still Bishop Pyeong even after eating jjambab like that is also proof that he was not very active in Asylum’s activities.
So I’m sure Relic won’t be foolish.
“Kek… Damn it! There’s no other way! I’ll be a spy. I mean! It’s not because I want to put my name in the history books, but for the sake of my future generations, I can’t help it!”
“Professor Relic…”
“To be honest, the reason I worked so hard and rose to the rank of executive was to spread information to the imperial family! Will you understand my feelings?”
“·······.”
The stance change was quite fast.
It was never a bad thing.
Because it means that the head to figure out which side has the advantage is running tight.
Of course, there is a downside that if the charter turns, they will be the first to run like bats, but it was a matter of not giving them a chance to turn the charter in the first place.
“There’s going to be someone watching over you from now on.”
“Who is that… Uhm?!”
Relic’s head turned at the sound of footsteps behind him, and he was startled.
There stood Erwin with his hands behind his back with an expressionless expression.
She asked me to play a servant like an emotionless machine, and she faithfully fulfilled it.
“Erwin has nothing to lose or her family. Professor Relic is ready to commit suicide with you if you betray her.”
“·······.”
Of course, Erwin has two younger siblings that he cherishes, but Relic doesn’t seem to know her inside out, even her profile as a graduate student of another person, so he openly blames her.
Seeing that Relic’s face didn’t change at all from deep blue, it seemed that Gura had been properly eaten.
“I want to pierce the heart, eyes, and ears…”
“Hey?!”
“I don’t want to hurt our VIP.”
I approached Relic and straightened my tie and straightened his disheveled clothes.
The way he was frightened clinging to the back of the sofa was ridiculous.
I patted Relic on the shoulder one last time and held out his hand.
“Let’s try to save the continent. Professor?”
“Uh uh…”
I grabbed Relic’s trembling hand.
Although being a bit nerdy is a disturbing factor, it’s the first executive-level human resource we’ve acquired anyway.
You’ll have to roll it carefully so it doesn’t break.
As for this side, the espionage guys are experts, so I need some advice.
No, should I leave it up to them in the first place?
‘It was worth the wait.’
I suppressed my laughter and endured it.
It seems that the fight against Asylum is coming to an end.
After fighting between humans, the war against demons is rather easy.
That’s because it’s a war that goes amazingly well, at least in terms of identifying friends and family.

“Huh…”
It is midday when the warm sunlight tickles the face.
Yulia lifted her heavy eyelids and tried to stretch her lightly-
“Ah…”
When she noticed that she was leaning against something, she was startled and fell in a hurry.
She almost fell over as her body tilted backwards from the recoil, and her large arms came up behind her and caught her.
“Are you okay?”
“Yes…”
Schlus Heinkel.
The man who got me back up closed the book I was reading.
We went for a walk together and rested on a bench…
I don’t remember anything after that.
Anyway, it looked like John leaning on Schluse’s shoulder.
Yulia was a little surprised by her exceptionally fresh body condition.
It was the first time in my life that I had slept so well outside, leaning against another person.
“Do you want to sleep more? You usually sleep a lot.”
“No… I think I can stop taking naps now.”
That confident tone of voice…
As if he knows me well.
I wonder if he is saying this while thinking of himself in his previous life.
Yulia felt a bit strange.
“Hmm…?”
But when I looked at her finger, I found that there was something like a small dot.
It was like being pricked with a needle.
It seemed that the bleeding had stopped a long time ago, and the wound was so small that it seemed as if it would disappear in a day.
From noble mtl dot com.
Maybe he was accidentally stabbed by a piece of wood while sleeping.
Yulia decided to ignore her.
“Let’s move now. The sun is getting hotter.”
“Well then-“
“Wait a minute. I can do it myself.”
As Schlus’ hand naturally tried to get under her leg, Yulia stopped it.
Then she whimpered and turned the wheelchair parked right next to her in front of her, and continued to scuffle in front of it.
But no matter how much she strained her arms, she couldn’t climb out of the wheelchair and sit back down.
Yulia, who struggled for a long time, had to give up soon.
“Please upload…”
“I think it’s because I haven’t been able to eat a lot, so I don’t have enough energy. I went up well before. Didn’t I?”
“Yes…”
Schlus reached out and lifted my body lightly.
Then she put me in a wheelchair and put me in a comfortable position.
This person has already become this skilled.
Aside from maids and family, this man is probably the only one who doesn’t feel miserable with help.
“Here’s your hat.”
“I can’t see it…”
“Don’t look ahead and guess. Where are you going?”
“Ahhh…”
Dararak. Dararak.
The wheels made a pleasing sound as they rolled over the dirt road.
Since the hat was pulled down, I couldn’t see anything except the bottom of my feet, but Yulia wasn’t nervous at all.
It was such a feeling that I had been outside in a real sense for the first time in a long time.
“Where are you now?”
“Hmm. Isn’t that the back door of the mansion?”
“Ding. It’s the complete opposite.”
“Ah…”
The moment the cap came off, a cool wind blew.
The panoramic view of the vast lake spread out before my eyes.
They always say it’s dangerous and don’t even come close to it…
Is this okay?
Schlus looked around worriedly, but he didn’t seem worried at all.
“I heard that you can go anywhere in this garden. Then maybe we can take a boat to the middle of the lake.”
“Ah. Then you’ll get scolded…”
“So you don’t like it?”
“No. Good.”
I couldn’t refuse.
Even though he knew he would be scolded, he couldn’t bear to quit.
Schlus picked me up and put me on the boat.
Chulus sat in the back, and I used Schlust’s chest in front of him as a backrest…
It was a bit embarrassing, but it was comfortable and nice.
“Okay. Let’s go.”
“Huh…”
Schlus pushed the pedals and the boat started moving.
At first, the boat rocked violently because I couldn’t feel it, but soon the left and right balance was established.
At some point, we were cutting through the current and moving towards the very center of the lake.
If the maids see this scene, they will burst into anger…
Perhaps he would be banned from meeting Schluss.
But I already liked that.
“Do you want to push the pedals?”
“I can’t do that because my arm is weak.”
“I’ll help you. Grab it. Push now…”
“Ugh…”
“That’s right. Now step in and go forward again. Push again…”
“Ugh…”
I’ve never felt so free since my legs stopped moving.
Of course, it’s not that I don’t know how worried my family is, but it was much more fun to take a risk.
Yulia just wanted this moment to last forever.
It was a moment when I sat leaning against her wide chest and felt the cool breeze and the warm sunlight.
‘Why is Schluss being so nice to me?’
I suddenly had a question.
I’m still a small child, so it’s not like I’m coming because I’m a member of the opposite s*x.
Maybe it’s because I can’t forget my ex-lover who disappeared after dwelling in my body and I still have lingering lingering feelings.
No, why did that person’s soul dwell in my body in the first place?
And what is the identity of the person who is certain to have come from another world?
Doubts lingered on their tails.
There was so much he didn’t know about Schluse that he immediately got a headache.
“Schlus······.”
“Yes.”
“I want to go into that cave.”
“Hey? Can I come in?”
“It will be fine.”
He pointed to a small cave at the edge of the cliff.
I’ve heard a legend say that you can look into a person’s past from there.
I’ll check it over there.
What happened to Schluss in the 10 years after I died.
