185 – betrayal of friends
Na Seon’s words of resolute disapproval
Regarding this, Yujin Choi’s face began to look puzzled.
“Muh.. What are you talking about, Jiseon? Opposite. Could it be that you… are you going to leave our friend Jiyoon alone?”
“If that guy is really Seo Ji-yoon, I can agree with him. But i still can’t believe it Is that guy real, or is it just an Abyss impersonating him!”
“That… that can’t be! did you see it too? Ji-yoon Seo is the only person who can talk like that about the fact that only we know about what Ji-yoon and I are talking about!”
“That’s what a trap is. did you forget That guy remembered what Isena did to him and even took revenge. From that point of view, apart from his memories, there is a high possibility that his mental state is already hardened as that of the Abyss!”
Uncharacteristic of her, Na-sun Na, who speaks logically and logically.
Regarding this, Choi Yu-jin momentarily flinched, but nevertheless, she did not give up and continued talking.
“Ha… but… where is the guarantee that it isn’t? If that guy is really Ji-yoon… From now on, Ji-yoon will have to live here while being tortured unjustly!”
“It’s better than living with a bomb that doesn’t know when it will explode!”
“I can’t let my friend slowly wither and die in pain like this over things that aren’t even certain!”
Two people who continue to argue with each other like that.
Seeing this, the agents and hunters could not easily make a clear judgment.
Now that the opinions of the two people who are presumed to know the existence of the Abyss or the human being are divided, it was impossible for them to make a decision easily.
“What should I do?”
“Umm… I can’t do it, I have no choice but to report neutrally to Yue and follow their decision.”
As it is a difficult matter to judge easily in the current situation, they decided that they had no choice but to wait and see the result while following the will of the high-ranking people.

Choi Yoo-jin is walking alone on the street at night.
At this moment, her face was filled with deep dissatisfaction and regret.
‘Na Ji-seon…this heartless guy, no matter how hard he tries to abandon his friend like that…’
In the end, they decided to put their judgment on hold on whether to release Seo Ji-yoon or not, and report to the top and watch the progress.
Regarding this, Choi Yu-jin couldn’t help but feel stuffy in many ways.
If Na-sun had only sympathized with him there, or at least had remained silent, there was a high possibility that the matter would have been resolved much more easily.
However, with Na Seon openly opposing this, the part about Seo Ji-yoon’s liberation has become much more opaque.
Even though they were originally close colleagues, she couldn’t help but feel dissatisfied with Na Ji-sun’s stabbing in the back in this way, and furthermore, she began to think about a way to free Seo Ji-yoon, who was suffering unjustly. did.
Of course, it was very difficult for her to come up with a suitable method as she is not very smart by nature.
‘Damn it.. Lee Jin-hyun seems to have thought of this and that well in this situation, but why am I…’
Though he was not very useful, Choi Yu-jin began to feel a sense of regret as he remembered the person who sometimes came up with small, useful ideas.
With such thoughts in mind, Choi Yu-jin goes back to the dorm in a stuffy mood.
Then, she suddenly came into his field of vision.
At the same time, I began to see a person heading towards a deserted alley-like place.
‘..yes? Naseon?’
Immediately after following her just in case, she saw her friend turning around after starting to come into her eyes.
Regarding this, Choi Yu-jin secretly tried to talk to her while still feeling the uncomfortable feeling that had not gone away.
By the way..
‘… what? Who are you in contact with and why are you so happy?’
She is talking with a slight blush and a smile on her lips.
In a situation like now, where a friend may be tortured unjustly. Choi Yoo-jin automatically began to feel annoyed at the sight of her having a pleasant conversation with someone.
Then, without realizing it, Choi Yu-jin started to listen to her conversation.
Immediately after that, complex emotions began to appear on his face in an instant.
astonishment and confusion. Perplexity. And… a feeling of betrayal beyond that.
At this moment, the sound she hears in her ears is that her friend, Naji-seon, told him what happened today.
He was telling Lieutenant Jinhyeon that he was talking in detail.
‘Najiseon… how do you… how do you…’
Of course, if you think simply, it could be said that it was just explaining the situation to a friend-like acquaintance.
However, to be honest, from Yujin Choi’s point of view, a man named Lee Jinhyeon was actually accepted as the one who fired the signal flare that led to the collapse of the 28th Guild, so she didn’t have any good feelings for him.
But at this moment, Na-sun Na, who is no one else, is talking on the phone with the man.
The fact that she was talking about Seo Ji-yoon, and not another person, had enough room for her to feel a sense of disappointment, which was not small, and finally to be reflected as a sense of betrayal.
‘Yeah.. You’re going to abandon us like this, right? Na-sun… you betrayed me like this. Now that it’s like this, I won’t stand still either.’
After hearing the story roughly, it seemed that Na-sun had been leaking this and that information within the unit to Jin-hyeon Lee.
Although it was unknown whether or not any of the information was classified as top-secret, Choi Yu-jin thought that it would be possible to get Na-seon Na and Lee Jin-hyun into trouble just by the fact that the information was being leaked recklessly.
‘Yeah.. If you think about it, if Na-sun is cornered right now, maybe it will be easier to rescue Seo Ji-yoon. If that happens, I will be the only one left who can defend Seo Ji-yoon’s position…’
With that thought in mind, she hurriedly left the place as it was.
I often heard that I was not good with my brain, but this operation, which I thought was okay,
to put it into practice. I mean.
‘I’ll wait and see…’ I’ll make sure to tell you what the traitor’s end will be…’

“Um… ”
Immediately after hanging up the call from Na-sun, I automatically started to feel a slight headache.
‘Seo Ji-yoon… the guy I expected to end up simply as an Abyss information shuttle is like this…’
Najisun’s words that she might have returned to her human mind again.
However, while hearing that he still couldn’t believe it, and that he couldn’t easily decide what to do, I had no choice but to postpone the answer.
The existence of the Abyss is returning to being a human again.
As there is a counterexample called Talos right now, it was difficult to give a definite answer to this, but I had no choice but to be skeptical.
Right now, in the case of Talos, the change was basically very clear, and in fact, he has been living as an ordinary human without any problems until now, almost half a year later.
He didn’t show any signs of suspiciousness, and he couldn’t even see his identity as an Abyss at all.
However, in Seo Ji-yoon’s case, he basically maintained his reason from the time he was in the Abyss, and it was possible to figure out that he had the spirit as an Abyss through a simple trick right after the battle.
From the moment that fact was proven, it was inevitable to have doubts about what he was doing.
Yes, but as Na-sun said, the possibility is not very unlikely, so I needed to make a careful decision.
Of course, considering the bad relationship in the past, it didn’t matter whether that crazy bitch was killed or eaten.
‘If Na Ji-seon hadn’t talked to this extent, the answer would have been to really throw it away… But first of all, as he faithfully ran the information shuttle, I should give him at least some help..’
With that thought in mind, I pondered for a moment, and then I began to think of some compromised advice.
Although the time to actually deliver it came considerably later than I expected…
