episode_0156

My father turns into grains of sand and scatters away.

The scattered grains of sand soon became a sandstorm and engulfed Na-Hyeon.

The vice president covered his face with both arms from the pouring wind.

And when I barely opened my eyes through the gap between my arms… .

Unable to arrive, I saw a blue sign flying around, the contents of which I could not understand.

The sign read:

“Songdo 43KM”

“Incheon… !”

At that moment.

Na Hyun instinctively figured out that the place Park Shin Ae took Si Ho was Incheon.

I need to inform the team leader of this fact.

But how in this storm?

Suddenly, the vice president felt that he had to wake up from this tiresome dream.

And to do that, I concluded that I had to surrender to this storm.

In the end, she gave up her body, barely able to stand, to the storm.

yet….

I opened my eyes to an unfamiliar ceiling.

“Vice President…!”

“Vice President!!”

A loud noise that knocks on my ears.

At that sound, Na-Hyeon barely opened her eyelids.

and….

I encountered a large number of dedicated executives who filled the hospital room.

From the four snakes… to the black snake and a child named Jisoo.

Everyone waited for Na-Hyeon in the hospital room.

“Are you in your right mind?”

Enemy.

She asked, grabbing the vice president’s hand.

Her hand clasps digging gently.

Na-Hyeon smiled faintly, glad that someone was so worried about her.

“Then… . I am Choi Na-hyun of Ilsim.”

She is surprised to hear her own voice completely restless.

Then, the white snake standing next to him speaks in a worried voice.

“Your lungs have been pierced, so you may not be able to speak yet.”

“It’s okay, this will be fixed soon.”

Na-Hyeon shook her head and got up.

And then I just sat down on the pillow in the bedroom.

“You shouldn’t get up yet. You’ve been lying down for two weeks, so your body is very weak.”

“2… Two weeks?!”

At Baek Sa’s words, his half-opened eyes sparkle.

The time spent in the wasteland was clearly only a moment, so how could you have been unconscious for so long?

The vice president looked at him with an expression of incomprehension.

Then, with a regretful expression on his face, Baek-sa told her what had happened to her body.

“The wound was so deep. It wouldn’t be strange if he died right away… .”

“Why are you talking like that? Is the vice president a normal person? Who would die?”

The enemy urges the white man with reddened eyes.

It’s the first time I’ve seen a team leader cry… .

Na Hyun thinks this is a new experience.

“I’m sorry, but it’s true. If it weren’t for this, it would have been dangerous.”

Baek-sa took something out of the table and showed it to her.

The moment Na Hyun saw that.

I couldn’t say anything more.

Because it was the water bottle that saved him in his fantasy.

It’s the very bottle my father gave me.

“Isn’t this Shiho’s shaker?”

The enemy recognized the bottle of liquor as soon as he saw it.

Posthumous name.

As soon as Na-Hyeon heard that name, she immediately repeated it.

“That’s right, Siho gave me this before he left…!”

He quickly took the shaker that Baek Sa was holding.

There was still some liquor inside, clinking.

At that time, it felt as smooth as fresh water.

Now that I’ve opened the lid, it smells strongly of alcohol.

“That drink had a buff that stopped bleeding and kept you conscious. I don’t know how it works, but… .”

“Of course you don’t know. It’s our daughter-in-law’s unique ability.”

Na-Hyeon shook it slowly to hear the sound of the alcohol sloshing.

Is this alcohol what allowed me to meet my father again?

The vice president pursed his lips and put the shaker down.

And I told everyone to find my benefactor.

“I found the location of the sign.”

Of course, it is uncertain because it is a scene I saw in a dream.

But the sign I saw after drinking Siho’s cocktail.

This was clearly the message she was leaving for everyone.

「—.」

“Excuse me, Mr. Jeoksa. Aren’t you going too fast?”

Jisoo said while holding on to the ceiling handle.

However, the enemy behind the wheel did not hear a word of what she said.

And Anna’s motorcycle is running ahead too.

The two were constantly increasing their speed.

The enemy pedaled like crazy to catch up with the motorcycle.

“Aren’t you worried about Siho? It’s been two weeks!”

“Of course I’m worried too. But, Mr. Jeoksa looks very dangerous right now.”

Jisoo asked the enemy with a serious expression.

He looks exactly like Siho and even the way he cares about others is the same.

“I don’t know what happened to me now. What if I lost my memory like before?”

The enemy muttered, looking straight ahead.

At that sight, Jisoo also quickly shut her lips tightly.

Of course, she was worried about Siho too.

especially….

The day we left the traditional village.

When he was caught being Do-Hyeon and ran away.

At that time, Jisoo couldn’t catch him.

And I didn’t even realize it.

The feminine look that has been shown so far.

The confusion and pain I felt when I met Jisoo in her changed body.

The index was also very confusing.

A boyish face and a cute girl’s appearance.

Who can easily understand such a great change?

While wrapping my head like that.

The enemy glanced at Jisoo.

And he asks her with a serious look in his eyes.

“Aren’t you worried about her?”

“No way! I’m so worried too… .”

Jisoo lowered her head at the sharp question.

I just feel resentful that he still can’t believe that Siho is Dohyun.

At that time, the enemy asked a profound question to that index.

“What do you think of that kid named Dohyun?”

It was the first time.

There was a time when the enemy called his posthumous name ‘Do-hyeon’.

“Yes… ?”

Could that be the reason?

Jisoo raised her head, which had been bowed, and stared at the enemy.

“That’s the Do-Hyeon you liked. Are you saying that your heart has changed just because his appearance has changed a little?”

Red eyes.

The cold wind piercing through Jisoo’s eyes clearly enters her chest.

Jisoo felt embarrassed, as if her heart had been exposed.

She placed her hand on her chest and held her shirt tightly.

Appearance… .

Yeah, Dohyun hasn’t changed at all.

It’s just that I’m a girl now.

Besides, he didn’t forget Jisoo either.

He even suffered the humiliation of being captured and turned into a fox in order to save her.

Maybe Dohyun is still the same person now as he was then.

“I am… .”

Jisoo met the enemy’s eyes.

And at that moment.

I noticed the enemy’s eyes shaking slightly.

Jisoo, who saw the trembling, soon realized.

The enemy didn’t just like Do-hyeon’s looks.

A heart that cares for others, and an infinitely pure purity.

She liked Do-Hyeon as a person.

When I knew that deep heart.

Jisoo was finally able to organize her confused mind.

“I still like Dohyun no matter what he looks like.”

Jisoo’s golden eyes sparkle.

Only then was the enemy able to relax his expression in the face of that brilliance.

“Okay, that’s it.”

A short sigh.

The enemy gripped the steering wheel tightly again.

And he spoke softly to Jisoo.

“Hold on tight. It’s going to get faster.”

These words might sound a bit scary.

Even now, it is running at a speed close to 180 km/h.

That means I’ll run faster than this.

but….

“Yes!”

Jisoo was no longer afraid.

Instead, he shouted confidently and proudly.

“Songdo International City. 3KM”

Faded sign.

It’s on the verge of collapse as if no one is taking care of it.

Songdo is an abandoned city.

The enemy’s car and Anna’s motorcycle passed the sign without a second thought.

Little by little, broken houses and buildings are visible.

On the beach, sea monsters appeared and invaded the houses.

Thanks to that, all the people who used to live in Songdo have long since left.

Now only criminals and Red Hunters wanted by the Association live in hiding.

That’s why no one searched Songdo easily.

However, seeing the ghost town they encountered soon made the three believe that the Vice Chairman’s guess might not have been wrong.

This level of gloom is definitely a good place for wanted criminals like Park Shin-ae to hide out.

but….

Contrary to Na-Hyeon’s guess, there was no sign of life anywhere in Songdo.

A ghost town covered in fog.

High-rise buildings that once seemed to be home to the wealthy are now full of holes and collapsed.

Not a single light was on in any of those buildings.

All that can be heard is the cawing of crows.

“… .”

The group arrived at Central Park and leisurely got out of the car.

And then I slowly looked around.

“I can’t see anything because of the fog.”

The enemy bit his finger and looked around.

This is what she usually does when she feels anxious after quitting smoking.

Jisoo also walked around diligently and looked around.

But there are only ghost buildings and the remains of collapsed buildings.

Nowhere was Park Shin-ae’s splendid new government visible.

After searching for a while like that.

The sound of a motorcycle can be heard from afar.

At that loud noise, Jisoo and Jeoksa both turned their heads.

Eventually, they see Anna appearing out of the fog.

Before she knew it, dark circles had formed around her eyes.

I was very tired after staying up all night for several days to track down Siho.

“If you keep searching like this, there will be no end. You have to spread out and search.”

Indeed, she is a true hunter-killer.

Anna says she will drag her tired body through the dark factory area.

“Then I’ll track all the buildings.”

The index points to a half-collapsed building.

“Okay, I’ll focus on housing, so meet me in front of my car in two hours.”

The enemy, in a manner befitting a cadre, told the two men where to meet again.

And they are.

We dispersed and began a full-scale search.

Jisoo enters a closed building alone.

The revolving door at the entrance to the building has long since had all its windows broken.

There is even a barrier erected to prevent entry.

But even that barrier was old and frayed like the hair of a dead woman.

Jisoo boldly breaks through the barrier and enters.

“Could they really have established a new government in a place like this… .”

No matter how much I think about it, it doesn’t make sense.

But what can we do?

The only clue we have about Park Shin-ae, who has disappeared, is ‘Songdo’.

I don’t know.

There might be a portal hidden somewhere in this building that leads to Park Shin-ae’s secret hideout.

Of course, it’s a magical story.

I’ve seen a lot of superpowers in my time, but I’ve never seen anything as strange as a portal.

There’s no way the Vice President would lie… .

Jisoo, who had not seen Park Shin-ae’s abilities directly, could not easily believe it.

While thinking like that, I was climbing the building.

Jisoo stopped walking on the 23rd floor.

Because something rustling was heard in the building that had been so quiet until then.

“Is it a bird…? Or a flying monster?”

If it’s the latter, it’s difficult to deal with it alone.

Moreover, if the size is large enough, this dangerous building may collapse.

Jisoo swallowed deeply and slowly turned the corner on the 24th floor.

but.

What she encountered was neither a bird nor a monster.

They were beings I had never even imagined.

“Children… ?”

Jisoo’s nervous eyes widen again.

They are definitely children.

A pair of boy and girl.

They were running around on top of a collapsing building, wearing long white gowns.

Moreover, it wasn’t just their behavior that was strange.

White long hair and white short hair.

And unpleasantly red eyes.

It’s so bizarre, like seeing a white rabbit.

Jisoo stared at them intently.

Then I accidentally touched a can that was rolling on the floor.

“—.”

To be honest, it wasn’t that loud.

But even that small sound was immediately noticed by the rabbit-like children.

They turned their heads and soon met eyes with Jisoo, who had golden eyes and brown hair.

“Uh… Hello guys?”

Red-eyed rabbits stare at her.

However, they did not give Jisoo any answer.

They just look at the hunter who came looking for them as if he was going to break through them.
