episode_0077

The dark night with barely any light outside the window passed and morning came again.

I took Soo, who was half-asleep, out of the room and headed to the kitchen.

Soo’s body has returned to normal, but he can’t do anything.

When I think about it, all I did was hold a mop and clean or run errands.

Actually, since you’re still in the single digits, it’s normal not to know what to do.

Of course, if you want to make them work, you can make them work, and in reality, in this world, there are children who work in restaurants depending on luck.

I have no intention of ordering it.

Because I don’t know how to cook. I know a lot of cuisines from all over the world, but the ingredients are subtly different.

For example, even if you know how to cook kimchi, you can’t cook it if there’s no cabbage or pepper in this world, right?

It’s similar to that.

Since I know how to take care of it, it looks somewhat like it’s going to be fine.

Today, I had a proper meal without burning anything. Honestly, if you ask me what it tastes like, I’d be slapped in the face for saying that it didn’t taste good at all.

Still, I’m glad that Soo-oh ate well.

As I was sitting in front of the stove eating breakfast, I heard a noise outside.

I went outside and there were 8 people standing there.

One of them is someone I’ve seen before.

When I was first called into this world, I was in the place where the party leader stood. Since that wasn’t the place where the Dharma guardian stood, there’s a high probability that this person is also the party leader of some party.

Looking at his attire, he doesn’t look like someone who can practice witchcraft.

“Who are you?”

When I went out and asked, a man whose face I recognized came forward and introduced himself.

“I am the lord of the palace, Gijacheon.”

As expected, he was the lord. Instead of using the name of the heavenly king, I used my name, the emperor’s name, and called it the heavenly palace.

He is the head of the organization that handles the small affairs of the main building of the Cheonma Shingyo sect that you can see in the distance. It means that he is the person who can most definitely tell when a maid or attendant moves.

Of course, assuming that the report definitely goes up.

He looked me over and opened his mouth.

“I was worried because it was a monster that eats people, but isn’t this just a woman?”

I know Soo-oh is clenching his fist behind me, but isn’t that something to be so angry about? I motion for Soo-oh to stay still, and then I answer that the person in front of me is right.

“I don’t eat people.”

She’s just a girl who needs some warmth.

Anyway, according to the information I got thanks to Gapjae moving around here and there, Lee Ja is someone who is trying to be an enemy of the current Cheonma.

Why did you come here?

His eyes turn to Soo behind him and then back again.

“That’s how it looks. Yes. Do you know the human who dyed purple? A third-rate warrior named Naburangi, who was just a law-abiding person, ascended to the position of the head of the family. Can anyone do that?”

Hehehe.

Finally, the person who wanted to be the harvester approached me. It took longer than I thought. I thought Eun-chun and Byeong-il would come as soon as they became elders.

But where did you get to come to this point?

I answered him.

“Anyone can do it, but limit 3 people per day.”

As I was talking, a man named Gijacheon stared at me.

He looked at me for a while as if trying to figure out what I was thinking, and then asked me this.

“Are those three people chosen by Cheonma?”

He asks for the number right away.

“No. It just happened that way.”

If you read the contract, you can do it for thousands or tens of thousands at a time, but I don’t explain that because it’s easier to control if the number is small.

The draw is more exciting when there are restrictions and limitations. Usually you spend money on goods, but in this case, it’s people.

When exits are limited, it’s easy to become more obsessed.

“3 people. So there were 3 people. Okay. Then, give strength to these three.”

He chose three of the seven men standing behind him and brought them forward.

Some people look at me with nervous expressions, while others just stare blankly into space with empty eyes.

I think he naturally gives me strength. I can see that he thinks it’s natural for him to listen when I give him orders. I don’t see him as a monster, I just see him as someone who gives me strength.

I already pretended to be strong against Cheonma. So I was thinking about whether to bounce back here… … .

I think it would be better to extend the harvest period here.

I told you the contract.

“I’ll give myself to you, but later, when you’ve finished everything, I’ll take everything you have. How about that?”

The three of them nodded, and all of them became harvesters with purple hair and snow-white skin. Kijacheon circled them and looked at them carefully.

“It’s strange that I don’t feel any energy. One of them is a criminal who didn’t enter the acting realm, but his energy and blood have already opened. But it’s not like he was born again, it’s like he’s reached the best state he can be.”

Mumble, mumble.

Check by holding each person’s wrist and feeling their pulse or inserting a forceps.

That’s right. One is a law-abiding person, one is just a handyman, and one is a piece of meat raised like livestock.

The last one in particular is similar to Chosul.

But it’s not like I’ve spent most of my life floating in the air, tied to a sheet like Chosul. The details are very different.

However, in terms of having grown up in a way that erased people’s personalities, Cho-seol and this man are the same.

My cerebral cortex has shrunk so much that I can’t think straight. I don’t know why I have a blank expression, but I can’t think in the first place.

I remember hearing that when people are under too much stress, they become like this. I raised this one for a long time in that state.

They nail it into its hands to keep it in place, parasitize it with various insects to make it move through seizures, and insert a tube into its neck to inject nutrients.

If this world is somewhat like a fairyland, you can vaguely guess that these are the ingredients for the elixir.

It’s still just a hypothesis, though.

It will be revealed soon.

Light and warmth?

Almost none. Smaller than a speck of dust. Of course, I’d be happy with that!

Reporter Cheon came and stood in front of me.

“This is great. I’ll be stopping by often, so if there’s anything missing, let me know. I’ll prepare anything.”

Reporter Cheon-i speaks like a celestial horse.

It’s funny how obvious they are in the mood to seize power.

He brought his face close to mine, looked straight at me from right in front of my nose, and opened his mouth.

“But don’t tell Cheonma about this.”

As expected, it was something that was done without Cheonma knowing.

Yes, that’s right.

This person is also trying to oust Cheonma. More than half of the party leaders have turned their backs on Cheonma, and one of them is this person.

You should answer after considering that carefully.

I opened my mouth to explain that I was not on Cheonma’s side.

“The contract was made first by Cheonma. I will keep the contract. But I will not answer unless you ask.”

It only moves on top of the contract.

I don’t plan on doing anything more than that, so do as you wish.

Along with that meaning, it also means that if you don’t ask the question directly, I won’t answer. It’s a single word that carries multiple meanings.

If you don’t understand, it’s your fault.

Hehehe.

“Is this how you support me, even if it’s passively? I can see your head spinning, so I’ll live a long time.”

The man laughed and put his hand on my shoulder.

“Okay. So, what is the standard for a day? Exactly one day after?”

He asks, touching my shoulder.

If you say it’s exactly 24 hours like a cooldown, it’s a bit weird. It’s hard to say why it’s based on a day. In reality, there’s no such cooldown.

There are two criteria that are so plausible that there is no room for questioning them separately.

Sunrise and sunset.

I’m wondering where to go.

If this man is going to make a difficult choice… … .

“Sunrise.”

He accepted the time of sunrise without any doubt.

“If you need strength in the future, you should come at dawn. Okay?”

But then suddenly, his face turned pale and he quickly removed his hand from my shoulder. Then he looked at his hand as if he was very surprised.

And he looks at me like he’s seeing something scary.

When you touched my shoulder, were you trying to look inside me with that Kira?

I didn’t feel anything.

It doesn’t seem like this body is without feelings.

“Excuse me. I guess I should take my leave now.”

And he waved his hand as if to say hello. And he quickly walked towards the Cheonmasingyo building with the people.

What on earth did you see inside me?

It’s cowardly of you to leave without asking a single question.

Oh my.

I went into the kitchen. As soon as I got there, Soo-oh ran to me and hugged me.

I don’t know what kind of affection he has for something like this. I don’t think people get affection this easily.

I spent time with Soo.

Of course, it wasn’t just a discussion.

A technique that Eunjae remembers.

I followed that. I didn’t have a knife, so I just grabbed a stick and swung it around.

There are differences between men and women, so the movements are a little strange. Not only that, but in certain areas, there is a lack of strength to move the body with just muscles.

It’s not just a lack of muscle strength, it’s a different kind of force that needs to be pushed.

There should be some energy flowing from this place, but I don’t have any of that.

Danjeon, middle jeon, upper jeon. There is no space or anything in these three sections. What is it?

I still have the bitter feeling or memory of someone else moving my energy, but I can’t implement it in the body I’m in.

Even if I imitate the physical state of their bodies when they release energy as if they were turning on a faucet, nothing comes out.

Looking at it, it doesn’t seem to have any special powers.

Or maybe you’re using all that kind of power to contain me.

This is a compelling hypothesis.

So Rebecca Rolfe could use her heart to do special powers, which I couldn’t.

For the experiment, I spent the whole day imitating Eunjae’s movements and the movements of the inspector in the first world.

And I realized one thing.

This works.

I guess I can do it with Soo-rang.
