EPISODE 59: Kwon Se-hyun

It was then that I realized the meaning of the words I heard just before entering this space.

“The most terrible moments of the strongest will be recreated.”

The most terrible moment of the strongest.

Others didn’t know yet, but I knew my true ability.
A person with an outside-rank ability that was stronger than the S-rank.
That was me.

‘And that means…’

The most terrifying moment of my last life was recreated in this space.
Then… that was why Kwon Se-hyun appear in front of me?

I shook my head quickly, trying to figure out what was going on, but my heart was still pounding terribly.

How likely was it that I suddenly came across the exact same myself? I felt like I wanted to run away from here right now if I could.

“…what should we do?”

“We can’t fight against ordinary people.
It’s getting complicated.”

A conversation between Min Ah-rin and Park Geon-ho was heard from behind.
I chewed my mouth hard to come to my sense.
Then the blurry mind became a little clearer.

‘This is not the time to stand still.’

Let’s get out of here as soon as possible.
It’s got to be.

“We are…”

It was at that time when I was about to take the lead to face Kwon Se-hyun with a smile by raising the corners of my mouth.
Cheon Sa-yeon, who was staring at Kwon Se-hyun with somewhat a blank look… suddenly grabbed his wrist.

“What are you?”

Kwon Se-hyun frowned at Cheon Sa-yeon who suddenly grabbed his wrist.

“Master, do you know him?”

“…maybe.”

Cheon Sa-yeon, who briefly answered Woo Seo-hyuk’s question, had a confused expression as if even he couldn’t understand the situation.
Kwon Se-hyun narrowed the corners of his eyes and glared at Cheon Sa-yeon, shaking off his hand harshly.

“What, were you Hyung-nim’s guest?”

“No.
I don’t know them.”

It was embarrassing for me as well.
I couldn’t understand why Cheon Sa-yeon grabbed Kwon Se-hyun.

Ha Tae-heon, who was watching with his cold face, pulled me in and opened his mouth.

“…we’d better go out first.
Master Cheon Sa-yeon.”

“Cheon Sa-yeon…?”

Kwon Se-hyun, who heard Ha Tae-heon’s words, put on a surprised expression.
Upon realizing this, my heart sank.

‘Ah, because of Abyss…’

Kwon Se-hyun already knew our names.
It was a big deal.
I was restless and hurriedly agreed.

“That’s right.
Let’s go out first.
We are really sorry for coming in without permission.”

When I tried to go out of the door with a wide smile, the punks behind Kwon Se-hyun stopped me with nasty looks.

“Hey.
Where are you going to sneak out of?”

“That…”

If it were anyone else, I would have gotten scared earlier, but unfortunately, it didn’t scare me in the slightest.

“Han Yi-gyeol, step back.”

Rather, it turned out to only be against Ha Tae-heon’s intentions.
Hearing my name coming out of Ha Tae-heon’s mouth, Kwon Se-hyun’s gaze turned to me this time.
I was sweating profusely in my heart.

“That’s right, Yi-gyeol-ssi.
Come here.”

“I think it would be better to leave it to Deputy Master Ha Tae-heon and Master, and for the youngsters to stay out.”

“Ha Tae-heon…?”

Kwon Se-hyun, who eventually heard Ha Tae-heon’s, opened his eyes wide.
I’m going crazy.

‘Please stop calling the names…’

Inwardly shedding tears, I looked at Kwon Se-hyun’s reaction.
He looked at Cheon Sa-yeon and Ha Tae-heon several times and then touched the corner of his mouth with a complicated expression.

“Hyung-nim, what should we do?”

“Requesting support and sending them to the underground…”

The younger brothers were close to Kwon Se-hyun and whispered to him, but to us, who were talented people, the contents were heard without difficulty.
I quietly guessed the decision Kwon Se-hyun would make.

“No.”

Kwon Se-hyun, who finished thinking, opened his mouth.

“Don’t make a fuss and let them go quietly.”

“What? But, Hyung-nim.”

“Just by looking at them, they aren’t those guys and it will only bothersome if we keep them.
We don’t have time to focus on such useless things now.”

“That’s true, but…”

“Go Dong-ju (고동주), I’m leaving, so you take responsibility and clean up the room.”

“Yes.
I understand.”

“……”

It’s really the same.

I couldn’t resist the distortion of my expression when I saw with my own eyes Kwon Se-hyun’s behaviour, making the same judgment as me and spitting out the words I remembered.

It wasn’t just the looks.
It was really ‘me’.
I covered my face with my hands to hide my expression, barely suppressing the rising unpleasant emotions.

“Tsk, get out quietly.
Don’t do anything stupid.”

The guys who had blocked the entrance just let us go at the command and then left the place.
After leaving the room, we were kicked out of the building.

“Don’t wander around the neighbourhood again!”

Go Dong-ju, who waved his hand as if expelling flies, slammed the front door and went inside.
Above it, a sign with the name ‘Dies’ caught my eye.
(Yes, the store which Se-hyun managed called ‘Dies’)

Thrown into the street like luggage, we looked around with puzzled expressions.

“At first glance, the buildings and people must be Korean.”

Woo Seo-hyuk nodded at Kwon Jeong-han’s words when he saw the billboard hanging at the bus stop across the street.

“I think so too.
And just before coming here, someone said that the most terrifying moments of the strongest will be recreated.”

“Ah, I heard that, too.”

“I heard the same thing.
It looks like everyone here heard it.”

At Woo Seo-hyuk’s words, Min Ah-rin and Park Geon-ho spoke after.
I wasn’t the only one who heard it.

“If my memory is correct, the owner of the voice must be Producer Li Wei.”

“Then this space itself must have been made by Producer Li Wei.”

“He probably didn’t do it alone.”

Edward, who was listening to Park Geon-ho’s conversation with me, opened his mouth.

“No matter how high-ranking and excellent space control he is, he can’t create such a realistic and large space by himself.”

“Are you saying it’s a space created by multiple producers?”

In the meantime, as if he had used his ability again, a light flashed through Edward’s eyes.

“It is very likely.
It’s difficult for me to know the details.”

If so, I couldn’t use my intervention ability hastily.
If it was a space created by multiple producers working together, it might make the situation more complicated if I intervened blindly before knowing what abilities were used.
Above all else, if I used my intervention ability, I would be stunned for a few days as before… It would be better to see the situation for a moment.

“So this is now… are you saying it’s all fake? Just a created place?”

“Yes.
This is all the created space.
However, I don’t know if it’s a type of illusion or hallucination or if it has a reflective type monster like a doppelganger.
I think we’ll have to look a little closer to know for sure.”

“How long will it take you to figure out how to get out of this place?”

Edward thought about my question for a long time with a troubled expression on his face, then answered carefully.

“At least two weeks… about a month is enough.
I can only use my ability for an hour or two a day, but it’s too big here.”

It was taking a lot longer than expected.
So we had to stay here for about a month? A sigh escaped from the silence in frustration.

“Isn’t what Producer Li Wei said was a hint? He said it was the most terrible moment of the strongest.
Then…”

At Min Ah-rin’s opinion, everyone’s eyes turned to Cheon Sa-yeon and Ha Tae-heon.
I closed my mouth and quietly looked around.

“I’m not.
It’s the first place I’ve been to in my life.”

Ha Tae-heon drew a clean line first.
But Cheon Sa-yeon just stood there quietly and didn’t say anything.

“Come to think of it, Master, it seems that you are acquainted with the man who appears to be the owner of the store earlier.
Is that right?”

Park Geon-ho, who couldn’t find the answer only by pointing out, was the first to speak.
Cheon Sa-yeon, who I thought would ignore him, unexpectedly responded slowly.

“He’s… someone I’ve met before.
I still don’t know if it’s the same person.”

Hearing that he had met Kwon Se-hyun, I looked at Cheon Sa-yeon.
His face, with slight confusion, didn’t appear to be lying.

‘But that doesn’t…’

It was absolutely unbelievable.
I had never met Cheon Sa-yeon in my life.
If I ever met him, I’m sure I would remember him.
So this time around, Cheon Sa-yeon must have misunderstood something.

“And since it’s my first time visiting this place, I don’t think it has anything to do with me.”

“Umm, then it’s more complicated.”

I turned my attention and looked carefully at the many cars passing by, the people walking on the other side of the road, and the tall buildings.
Wherever I looked, the scenery was familiar to me.

When I realized that, a tremendous amount of tension came rushing in like a wave.
I…

‘I don’t want to be found out that Kwon Se-hyun is me…’

My stomach churned hot.
I didn’t have the confidence to keep myself hiding in this situation.
In the worst case, I might have to talk about Kwon Se-hyun with my mouth to get out of here…

“…-gyeol.”

Even Park Geon-ho and Woo Seo-hyuk know that I used the alias ‘Kwon Se-hyun’ before.
Then they would definitely think it was weird.
What should I do…

“Han Yi-gyeol!”

“Oh?”

I raised my head at the sound of calling me.
Behind the frowned Kim Woo-jin, the faces of people staring at me were seen.
Kim Woo-jin carefully grabbed my wrist while checking my condition.

“Are you sick? You have a very bad complexion.”

“Ah…”

Kim Woo-jin’s body temperature was very hot.
No, am I cold? The cold sweat on my forehead ran down the side of my ear.

“Sorry.
I was just thinking…”

Everyone’s expressions became somewhat strange when I answered with a smile that struggled to make sure others didn’t think it was strange.

“Master.
It would be better to move and take a rest.”

Cheon Sa-yeon, who looked at me for a while, responded calmly to Woo Seo-hyuk’s suggestion.

“It’s a similar place to Korea, so let’s go find a hotel nearby.”

“Yes.
We can’t use the card, so we need to make sure that we can borrow it in cash.”

“If it’s cash, I have some.”

“I think the building over there is a hotel.
Shall we go there first?”

As I took a step back from the conversation that followed, I slowly closed my eyes and opened my eyes, feeling a throbbing head.

Definitely… I needed to take a break.
No conclusions could be drawn from this.
