23 – Appearing across generations
Changlier Hotel.
Currently one of the most famous 5-star hotels in Korea. Even an ordinary room costs over 3 million won per night, and a VIP room or suite costs a whopping 10 million won. For the general public, this place is like a pie in the sky.
“I’ve slept in five-star hotels all my life.”
“Principal… Is your wallet okay?”
“Is it possible that the former No. 1 Hero has no money? “Let’s just think we got it.”
The students’ faces brightened at the thought of spending a week in such a place. As soon as they got off the bus, they looked around the hotel and began to admire it.
The exterior was decorated with numerous neon signs and stood out, but once inside the hotel, the exterior seemed like nothing. Chandeliers hanging from the ceiling shine brightly in gold, and jewels embedded in the walls reflect the light, showing off their beautiful appearance.
The interior of the hotel looks like something out of a cartoon or movie. The students could not take their eyes off the fantastic sight that anyone could admire –
“Tsk… Due to personal reasons, we stopped by the accommodation first, so you can either throw your luggage in your room and have some free time.”
Seok-Hoon, who was the only one clicking his tongue as if he didn’t feel any emotion, frowned as he handed the room keys to the students after completing check-in.
“…Principal. “Is there any problem?”
“You can say so. By the way, you should also go together.”
“Huh?!”
“You’re a hero too, right? “Were you planning on having fun too?”
“Eh…”
According to the original plan, we would have arrived at this accommodation after touring other tourist attractions. However, the schedule was changed due to the police calling former Hero Judgment and Hero Handsome. At that fact, Seok-Hoon clicked his tongue and walked out, dragging the back of his junior’s neck, and Handsome sighed as he was dragged along.
“Teachers, you are very busy.”
“Besides, hasn’t the principal retired now?”
“What do you do when you retire? In fact, the only hero who has reached transcendence is currently the principal…”
The police called me from the first day I arrived. Even if Seok-Hoon says that, he feels very sorry for the teacher. With such thoughts in mind, the students looked at the heroes leaving with sad eyes.
“-Shall we go?”
“Good!”
But that only lasted a moment, and the students smiled and immediately started running towards the elevator.
“Hey, what kind of hotel has a 30th floor?”
“I guess the 30th floor is a VIP room? “I saw earlier that there were suites and VIP rooms starting from the 25th floor.”
Students who passed the elevator coming down from a fairly high place pressed the button elsewhere, chatted and waited for the door to open –
“What floor are we on?”
“11Th floor. Room 1105.”
As soon as the door opened, I went inside and pressed the button, just as the elevator door was closing. The elevator door on the other side opened.
The elevator that came down from a high place. Is it a VIP room? With some curiosity, Jihyun turned her gaze towards the person coming from the other side.
The silver hair was very long, and the hair tied back made it look like a woman, but from the hero’s perspective, the physique was that of a man no matter how you looked at it. He is wearing a black suit, so I guess he is an office worker. I don’t know if he’s drunk or if he’s sick, but he keeps walking unsteadily. Is he okay?
She looked at the man staggering out through the gap in the closed door, then raised her head and looked into the man’s eyes –
“-Huh?”
She froze.
“-Open the door!”
“What, what?!”
The distance between an open door and a closed door is only less than 100m. Ji-hyeon instinctively shouted, and soon Hyun-a, who was closest to the button, succeeded in pressing the button despite being surprised –
“…Oh my.”

The doors are already closed, and the elevator continues to go up.
“Please press the 3rd floor button!”
“…Jihyun? “What’s wrong with you all of a sudden?”
But Ji-hyun did not give up, and although embarrassed by her urgent shouting with a face full of impatience, Hyuna did as she said and pushed her buttons.
“Wait a minute, I’m going out!”
“Jihyun? “Where are you going!”
“Go up first! “I’ll be there soon!”
The door opened as soon as we arrived at the 3rd floor. She asks for understanding from the students in front of her and runs out. Soon, she remembers the man she just saw and starts running towards her stairs.
“Where…!”
She ran down the stairs like crazy, and as soon as she reached the first floor, she looked around and started running in the direction the man was heading.
The man she just saw. She lifted it up only for a moment, but she remembered the eyes and face she had clearly seen. Her eyes are a light sky blue, not as blue as hers, but still beautiful. And although she was a little different, she even had a face that resembled the childhood friend she had been desperately looking for.
Face may be different. That could be because two years have passed. His hair color is also silver, but since he is being chased by the evil brigade, he could dye it as well. Of course, it could be her illusion. She may actually be a woman you see for the first time.
But those eyes. The color of his eyes, which had changed since he unlocked her abilities, was so similar – she was chasing that man without even thinking about it.
I got to where the elevator was, but there was no man, so I ran in the direction he was heading and when I got to the front desk again, I saw a man heading towards the door. She checked him out, and soon she went out after him and-
“-Over there!”
Calling to him, she somehow caught up and stretched out her hand to grab his shoulder and –
“-It was here. “You’ve been looking for it for a while, honey.”
“…Honey? “How did you find out?”
“As soon as he disappeared, he came to the next elevator.”
That man, no.
“…Ah.”
The woman she thought was her man saw her man gently wrapping her shoulder, and when she saw her having a conversation with him, she lowered her head just as she did.
“It’s not like drinking and going out. “This is Cheongju.”
“Well, it’s dangerous. Sorry.”
A woman’s voice no matter who hears it. It is a thin, refreshing voice, different from her childhood friend. Just like that, the couple passed her and entered her building again, and Jihyun gritted her teeth and smiled bitterly.
If you had thought about it just a little, you would have known that it wasn’t true. There was no way Shin Se-il, the fugitive, was staying at a luxury hotel like this, and unlike him, who had no hands to begin with, the woman in front of him had normal hands. The color of her hair was also different, and although the color of her eyes was the same, there could be others with the same eyes in this world.
“Ha. hahahaha.”
Were they so driven that they chased me all the way here based on just one eye color and instinct? Did you miss him that much? Really – isn’t that stupid?
“…I have to go back.”
She stood there for a while, but then she turned around, muttering helplessly.
She started to get back to where she belonged.
“-Hyung.”
“Why?”
On the other hand.
“Why are the kids here now when they will be arriving in a few hours?”
“I don’t know that. By the way, you told me to wear a mask and go out.”
The couple she was after – no.
“…f*ck. “I almost got caught.”
Hyeonwoo and Sanghoon soon sat down on the sofa, wiping away their cold sweat.
“I took the mask with me and lived there.”
“If there was no voice modulation, I would have been out. Rather, how did you know?”
“When I went out to smoke, a bus came by. And he contacted me and used some of his skills…”
“Good job. Really.”
It was dangerous. When I heard Jihyun’s voice, I thought my heart would drop. If he hadn’t dyed his hair, if he hadn’t had real-looking prosthetics, and if Sang-hoon hadn’t acted, put on a mask and modulated his voice as soon as he got close – if he hadn’t had any of those things, he would have been caught out.
Of course, it was an earlier arrival than planned, but it was also true that he was complacent. Was he drunk and crazy? He grumbled and slapped his hand, and Sang-hoon picked up his cell phone from the table and threw it.
“Next time, wear contact lenses as well. Or maybe even put on some makeup. “If we’re acting as a married couple, we should at least dress up as women.”
“Don’t say anything gross.”
Hyeonwoo caught the cell phone thrown by Sanghoon with his left hand, unlocked it, and started calling the man-
“Oh, call the kids.”
“Contact? What?”
“When you come in, tell them to buy some lenses and some clothes. “And I also tell them to never do anything that will lead to their identity being discovered.”
With those words, I started talking to the man who answered the phone.
-What happened?
“For now, I survived. Still, it’s dangerous. “I can’t erase it from my memory.”
I don’t know how I knew and followed him in the first place, but it is true that I followed him. There was earnestness in her eyes as she urgently called for him, so she must have definitely suspected his identity. Maybe if I went back and thought about it a little more – it could have been a little risky.
His prosthetic arm really looked like a human arm, but its behavior was unnatural, and even if he thought about it, he could still recognize his past face and his present face, with only the eyes and shape slightly different.
Of course, there is no way to check right now, but I had to be more careful when going outside in the future.
“So, what happened? “Have you done any research?”
-The police called Judgment and Handsome. Not the Heungdeok Police Station. It’s somewhere else.
“…Call?”
-Yes. Perhaps that’s why they postponed their schedule and immediately dropped off the students and headed to the police station.
A very sudden call that was not in the game story he knew.
“Why?”
-I would like to ask you that. Did the boss know?
I asked the reason, but the question came back to me. Hyunwoo soon frowned, but-
-Villain Serpent. The fact that he is at the Heungdeok Police Station.
I immediately froze at the words that came back.
