Chapter 736: Value (2)

‘Have you heard the story already?’

Even if he didn’t hear the story directly, he might have realized something. However, I thought the odds were low. Seraphim didn’t doubt himself.

Lee Kiyoung was already an angel who repented his sins and stood in the position of a colleague in their new venture.

It was Thronus who offered to accept me, but it was him who agreed decisively and opened up.

‘We’re colleagues, right?’

Whatever it was, the answer was to pretend I didn’t know. Whether he suspected something or not, there was no excuse.

It was right to keep being ignorant until he brought up the story first since that was the most natural act.

“I thought you’d be here.”

“…”

“I thought Seraphim would definitely come.”

“…”

“That’s a relief. I’m so glad. We don’t have time for this.”

‘I think he’s suspicious, after all.’

The look on my face was serious, but I thought it was right to keep going overboard.

I first checked Dummy World in a hurry, and I showed great relief after looking everywhere for any problems. Of course, there was no way something could’ve happened. Our little world was still functioning normally.

“I think we’d better move right away.”

‘You know, it’s dangerous here.’

What if someone came in and harmed the people living in the small world? Wasn’t that the world we created together?

If he wanted to make the new plan come true, he had to protect the little world first. How much divinity went in here? Someone might be after it in the midst of all the confusion.

‘You know, it’s been weird lately. Even if there’s no target, would you be able to put this in a temple that has become a battlefield? We need to do something, even if we don’t move with it.’

When I looked at Seraphim’s face slightly, I could see him nodding slowly.

‘Did he let me off? Or are we just going to wait and see?’

I couldn’t make a decision easily, but I had to think it was the latter. Maybe he used the judgment of sin.

After seeing nothing big happened, he had confirmed that Lee Kiyoung wasn’t corrupt.

Still tapping his thigh with his fingers, it was a habit that came out unconsciously when he was lost in thought.

I was a little nervous because it seemed like he was considering many things. It was then that Seraphim lifted himself up from his seat. A slight nod was seen.

“I thought you’d come here first.”

‘Sh*t, that’s a relief.’

“Yes, that’s right. For now, protecting this small world is the only way to protect the continent. No, we don’t have time for this. Seraphim, someone might be after this place. I’m sure they’re after it.”

“…”

“There was an attack.”

“I know that.”

“It’s not humans. Seraphim, it was angels who attacked me.”

“What?”

“Masked angels.”

“…”

“Thronus saved me, and I was able to get out of the place…”

“…”

“Maybe Thronus was seriously injured…”

I had almost gotten in big trouble.

‘You don’t know how grateful I was to Thronus. You should’ve seen him block the sword on my behalf.’

Crocodile tears started to fill my eyes when I thought of the devastation. I was worried about Thronus, who was on the edge of death row by that time.

“Thronus is not that weak. Nothing’s going to happen. I want you to tell me a little more about it. What exactly what happened?”

Of course, I would tell him.

“I was on my way to the parliament room for an investigation. Suddenly there was a deafening roar that shook the temple, and I heard everyone running frantically. Thronus was standing in front of me. He tried to join the battlefield after taking me to a safe place, but because of the angels who suddenly appeared… that was how the battle broke out… There was nothing I could do.”

I wasn’t lying.

There was no lie except that it was just one angel and not ‘angels.’

“It wasn’t Thronus who they were aiming for from the beginning. I’m sure they were after me.”

“…”

‘He’s not shaking.’

I thought he’d be a little shocked or suspicious, but he didn’t look like that at all.

Rather… it stood out that he seemed to be trying to judge the current case rationally. He was doing his best to calmly analyze the current situation without responding emotionally.

‘He must have a lot to think about.’

If he heard the news from Cherubim first, he would’ve had a lot to think about.

Suppose he received a message that Lee Kiyoung betrayed them and that Thronus was injured. The situation would then become a little more complicated. Seraphim might’ve been judging who was lying.

It was a very easy puzzle to solve, but it was so easy that it became questionable.

Who stood on top of angels that opposed the new plan? If what Lee Kiyoung said was true, wouldn’t it be too obvious?

Cherubim, who sent a false message that Thronus was injured, could be the culprit behind all the incidents.

In the first place, there were two pigeons who opposed the plan, and if Thronus retired, there was only one left.

‘Isn’t that too simple? It’s really too simple.’

I was sure he knew that.

It was true that Cherubim was in favor of the end of the new plan and invested with his divinities, but he constantly disapproved of our work, and he never came out cooperatively.

Who set up the investigation office? He had to know we’re behind schedule because of that, right? Who kept him in check the whole time? It’s all him.

‘Isn’t that suspicious? Did it make sense to suddenly send a message saying I betrayed you? Think about it, Seraphim. Why would I betray you? You’ve already been forgiven for my sins and put your life and soul into this project.’

I was the one who thought about the continent more than anyone else. I hoped he thought he was being duped by that bastard right now.

‘He lied to you. That bastard sent the angel that stabbed Thronus. It’s not me.’

I was right. I wished Seraphim wouldn’t be fooled by the devil’s lies.

‘He’s the one who killed the humans who tried to be with us and stimulated the continent. Are you sure you don’t understand? He brought chaos upon us himself. I was waiting for this month to fly in the first place. The real purpose isn’t war. It’s to use the chaos to ruin the new plan and kill Lee Kiyoung, who is at the center of it.’

It was a very simple puzzle. No, rather than a simple puzzle, the story ran so much like flowing water that it reached the point where it sounded unnatural.

That was why he wouldn’t be able to be sure. As if there was a certain order, the puzzle was a bit unnatural.

‘It was so sudden. Was it a little urgent?’

Would it have been better if I didn’t say anything?

If I had more time, I would have twisted the simple puzzle a little bit.

Not only would it satisfy the probability, but it would also leave a lot of bait. It might’ve naturally and dramatically led to the acceptance of the truth.

‘Oh, sh*t… Was I in too much of a hurry?’

I was worried that I might have put out the gift box too fast.

I didn’t know what Seraphim was thinking at that moment, but I felt like he was going to break my neck. There was hostility in his eyes, and all kinds of suspicions and doubts seemed to be raging.

‘Ah, I should’ve just pretended to be a Soul Stealer with Jihye. I shouldn’t have come, sh*t. This is why people shouldn’t do anything different than usual.’

There needed to be some element of reversal. At that rate, even if Thronus accepted my bullsh*t, he wouldn’t change his mind easily. Even if I succeeded, I couldn’t make out the picture I wanted.

I became nervous, and my fingers moved without realizing it. I kept tapping my thighs with my hands.

‘Oh, sh*t… should I just go now? Do I have to call Raphael?’

It was then that Seraphim suddenly came into view.

It was nothing special.

It was just that the behavior he showed suddenly caught my eye. He stood up, arms crossed, thinking over and over again. Even at that moment, he kept tapping his arm with his fingers.

The moment I saw his moving fingers, I had no choice but to stop him.

Actually, it wasn’t the first time I felt it. I felt that he was doing something similar to me, but at that moment, his appearance began to overlap with mine.

‘He’s just like me.’

To exaggerate a bit, it was like he was imitating me.

To be more precise, he might’ve been imitating the masked hero’s actions of the first-round

‘What the hell.’

That action wasn’t the only one he copied. The way he sat on a chair and walked was very similar. Copying Kim Hyunsung’s tactics…

‘It was Seraphim.’

It wasn’t a hundred percent, but it felt like that was close to the answer. He was copying 1st timeline’s Lee Kiyoung.

Why was that?

Was that what Cherubim said about the ugly desire?

Suppose Seraphim, the platinum pigeon, was jealous of the masked hero in the first round and admired him at the same time.

No, if he were really imitating 1st Kiyoung, his feelings would unconditionally be biased.

If it was true that he was fascinated by the masked hero’s things like his mind for the continent, ability, personality, leading angels on human subjects, and unconventional ideas… He might’ve thought he wanted to be like him.

The first thing he said to me right after arriving here was, ‘I thought you’d come here first.’

Was he serious?

I thought I knew why he agreed to the new plan. He said something similar back then. It was like ‘I thought of something similar.’

He had never thought of a new plan. He just said he was thinking the same thing because I said so. He didn’t invest his divinity because he wanted to take away my achievements or leave them as my achievements. He just threw the dice because I acted like that.

Why?

He wanted to be like me.

There were many parts that fit so well that there was a false smile.

I kept seeing myself in him at that moment.

Useless deception, hypothesizing, putting his hands on his head, even… The act of putting his finger on his lips.

That part was the most fun. Wasn’t that where the distance was the most interesting? If he had been wearing a mask, he would’ve been patting it.

‘You idiot. You idiot.’

It was too much to just be seen as a coincidence. Due to that, I spoke immediately to confirm my thoughts.

If he was really my copycat, what he had to do was obvious. That was enough to make me think we were on the same page.

‘You don’t have to say everything from beginning to end. Just…’

“Seraphim.”

“…”

“Maybe I’m wrong. You don’t have to listen to my words seriously, but I’m worried. I know I shouldn’t think about this, but…”

“What is it?”

“Maybe Cheru…”

That was all I needed to say.

And… he began to nod.

“As expected… you were thinking the same thing.”

Idiot.

My assumption was correct.

That pigeon wanted to think and act like the masked hero.
