Chapter 332: Us in the Black World (5)

This couldn’t be happening. Thoughts of something like this began to fill my head, and it was natural to think of this. What I honestly wanted to see was how things worked afterward.

I was also unable to capture all of the brigade members, and could not see their future actions.

I was most curious about what the hell Lee Jihye was doing there. I didn’t think she would have just died in the first round, but I couldn’t even imagine that she would be active in the brigade.

Of course, in the second round, Lee Jihye didn’t join the brigade, and a brigade was not even created anyway. It was something I didn’t need to know, but I couldn’t help but be curious.

It was bothering me as it felt like I got cut off while watching a diorama. If I thought that the brigade may be secretly working, I got even more bothered.

It was not just empty speculation. Since there was no Jung Jinho, its power was inevitably weakening. However, the brigade members I actually checked were those with excellent fighting power and personality to say that they were incompetent to be unable to act just because they had no head.

Even if the brigade was not created according to the existing speculation, each of them might be working secretly.

I hated to wake up, but my eyes slowly started to open regardless of my will. I was looking forward to seeing anything else, but this seemed to end here. A familiar scenery that was different from the black world came into view.

‘Fuck…’

The place I was lying down on was a bed. I thought I had a good time with Kasugano again this time, but it didn’t seem like that. Yuno Kasugano was sitting in a chair and guarding my side.

“Did you get what you want?”

“About half… First, thank you. I guess I know why you said that. I think I can roughly know what the future you saw is…”

“I’m really, really glad that it helped.”

“How long has it been?”

“It hasn’t been so long. So… do you need time to organize your thoughts?”

She seemed to have noticed my troubled face.

“Should I leave you…?”

“No, you don’t have to leave. Rather, is there a chance to see one more…?”

“I’m sorry. Master. That’s impossible. K-Kill me, please. If you want to punish me, I’ll accept it willingly…”

“No. It’s okay. I didn’t think it would be possible.”

It seemed impossible to see the future or the black world repeatedly, regardless of whether it was okay for one’s body.

Yuno Kasugano’s power was an ability that went beyond reason. If I simply think about it, there is no way I can see it in succession. It’s a pity, but I couldn’t just keep hanging on to it, so for now…

‘Shall I arrange them in chronological order?’

I thought it would be nice to retrace the story that went unruly. The first priority was to organize what Lee Kiyoung of the black world did after Park Deokgu died.

In time, it was like this.

- Lee Kiyoung of the black world entered the brigade after Park Deokgu died.

He didn’t seem to have gone in with Yuno Kasugano, and it was the first place he went to. Naturally, he felt that he needed power at the time he had a goal. As the brigade was a group that perfectly fit the black world Lee Kiyoung was trying to do; it made sense that Lee Kiyoung had taken the risk to join.

I didn’t know why her Lee Jihye was there, but I thought what may have happened after was obvious.

He would have done trashy things I couldn’t see with my eyes open, and he would have continued to grow in size and power.

I would have to think about whether he had kept moving with the brigade, but they would likely have worked together, at least until he was established.

- What happened after that was Jung Hayan’s death.

Time had passed since number 1. It was unclear whether he worked with the brigade or Lee Jihye, or whether he was with Yuno Kasugano.

One thing was for certain. I had driven Jung Hayan to the edge of the cliff.

The reason could be easily inferred. At that time, Jung Hayan definitely belonged to Lindel, and it seemed that she was not active in the Blue Guild, but the trash in the black world recognized Jung Hayan as an enemy.

I wondered why he didn’t take Jung Hayan, but as a result, the black piece of trash threw her away, and as a result, she hung her neck.

‘Really… I’ll never say no again. I’ll do everything Oppa asks me to do. Now it doesn’t matter what happens to others.’

I remembered she said that. I didn’t remember it exactly, but before she took her own life, she definitely muttered similar kinds of words.

At some point, Lee Kiyoung would probably have urged her to cooperate with him to do trashy things together, and unlike now, Jung Hayan from the first round, who was soft, did not seem to accept his proposal.

It was possible that she sold information from an ally or did a frivolous errand, but she couldn’t turn her back on such a decisive matter.

She, as a result, was abandoned and driven to the edge of the cliff. She hadn’t been able to choose what the current Jung Hayan would do even without ordering.

“The environment is very important…’

Assuming that the only decisive difference between Jung Hayan of the first round and Jung Hayan of the second round was the time when she met me, the decisive reason for her being strange now was really me.

There was no reason to deny it, but…

‘It’s bitter…’

It was hard to judge whether Jung Hayan and I were well-matched. Anyway, I started to understand why our lovely returner was so happy that he clapped his hands, seeing Jung Hayan and me together.

In the first round, to the people of Kim Hyunsung’s camp, Jung Hayan’s suicide incident would have been reflected like this. The case where some trash completely ruined an arch wizard that no one could mess with.

Kim Hyunsung, who didn’t think that I and the trash were the same people, may have thought that a great shield had been created in the affectionate, close couple in front of him.

No, he must have thought so. Even when it wasn’t allowed to take Jung Hayan, Kim Hyun-sung tied Jung Hayan and me as 1+1 and sent us to the expedition. It was even enough to be linked to on the way to the training camp or the royal castle, so I understood how much he wanted to avoid what happened in the first round. He didn’t want to kill Jung Hayan.

At that time, I thought that this bastard might have made a strange plan like Park Deokgu, but now that I knew the truth, I could only nod. Anyway, what happened next was…

- Massive war, or terrorism.

As a result, most people, including Cho Hyejin, had died. Many things were not clear about this. The problem was that I couldn’t see the exact group that attacked Kim Hyunsung’s camp in the first round.

Of course, I could see myself, but no matter how I were to think about this, it was hard to say that an individual or the brigade did the scene I had seen at that time. One city was completely in ruins, and Kim Hyunsung also couldn’t get up, just like a rag.

Cho Hyejin seemed to know me, and I couldn’t even confirm the appearance of those who had shot arrows at her.

What I could think of was that I had planned a large-scale war scenario, such as infighting or war with other countries. However, it was impossible to say that this also fit perfectly.

Not only did Kim Hyunsung never send out anger against a specific country, but he seemed to want to minimize conflict and save as much power as possible.

‘There must be a reason for Kim Hyunsung’s return.’

Of course, it seemed that I was included in the reason, but perhaps something like humanity’s enemy may pop out.

‘If I think about the system, it’s even more so.’

The answer became a little clearer when I were to think about the behavior of the transcendental being that returned Kim Hyunsung.

It wanted to save Jung Hayan and attach me to Kim Hyunsung.

Even though I, who was already presumed to be the first round’s mastermind, was stuck with the returner, I didn’t feel that the problem had been completely resolved. I couldn’t check it with my own eyes, and yet…

‘There is a reason for returning. Definitely.’

Kim Hyunsung and the system were preparing for an invisible threat. It could be a devil or an angel. Perhaps a third force would suddenly pop out.

Even now, the answer was not coming out, so I should avoid thinking about it deeply.

What was more important than that now was why these scenes were visible.

Of course, I think I know why. The future that Yuno Kasugano saw…

‘Must be a scene where Kim Hyunsung threatens me.’

This was a scene that the transcendent being absolutely didn’t want to show me. If I had known from Yuno about that, I would have taken action no matter what. I wouldn’t have done anything extreme like turning my back against Kim Hyunsung, and yet…

‘I don’t know.’

Whatever it was, it was undeniable that I was the villain in the first round. Knowing that fact was the best achievement of seeing the black world this time.

I immediately understood why Yuno Kasugano had let Jin Qing go to protect me.

It was a very simple matter if I were to think about it. She didn’t seem to understand why she felt that way, but I had no choice but to nod.

Yuno Kasugano’s choice was really the best. As I slowly turned and looked at Kasugano, her face became lovely to my eyes.

‘Phew… Thank you.’

Even though it was just momentary, the suspicion that sprouted in my heart began to disappear like snow melting. When I grabbed her face with my hands, she seemed startled, but I could see her slightly blushing when I kissed her forehead.

“T-Thank you.”

“No… I’m more grateful. I think your choice was right.”

“I’m sorry. How dare of me.”

“No. Your choice was right. It would have been more difficult if Jin Qing had been in our hands or died…”

“What exactly are you talking about…?”

Yuno Kasugano didn’t know that Kim Hyunsung was a returner. It’s clear that she didn’t even know that what he was looking for was the masked man, and even because she lost what she saw through outside intervention, she didn’t seem to understand the correlation between what she saw today, and letting Jin Qing go.

It was natural to open my mouth slowly. I could see Kasugano nodding at what I said.

“Oh yeah… It’s a bit unfortunate that I missed that demon summoner…”

It was correct to hold a little more solid evidence.

‘That bastard is the culprit. Yes. Absolutely, that bastard is the culprit.’

Demon summoner wasn’t the only title he got.

‘The masked garbage in the first round, Jin Qing…’

After joining the brigade in the first round, he not only made Jung Hayan commit suicide, but also killed Cho Hyejin and backstabbed the lovely returner countless times, the one that Kim Hyunsung was looking for and the masked trash who turned the city in ruins. It was the true identity of the man who was thought to be just a demon summoner.

‘A masked trash who couldn’t even be recycled!!’

My heart had begun to burn with full intensity.
