Chapter 1703 – 1703. Hunter vs Vampire
“Are you a newbie?”
I glanced at Cassandra.
Looking at the atmosphere she grabbed at once and Kang Su-mi’s reaction, it was clear that she was not an ordinary woman.
Maybe not a scammer. Either that or he’s a really great scammer.
Cassandra is staring at me. She was waiting for my answer. Sumi Kang, meanwhile, held her witch’s mirror in one hand and measured her timing to illuminate Cassandra. Even in the midst of this she did not forget her duty.
“I am not a god. God wouldn’t be doing this. Why did you think so? Is mine that strange?”
“It’s nothing strange. It is special.”
Said Cassandra, stroking her crystal ball. Then she continued.
“Your point is really special. Even with all the people I’ve ever seen. To be honest, I never imagined something like this would happen.”
“Out of all the people I’ve seen… ? You must have seen many people’s divinations.”
“Yes. I saw a lot of people’s points. Even if it looks like this, there is no place that I have not visited all over the world. I met a man with a fortune to become king, and I met a leader with a fortune to set the world on fire. But no one has a fortune as special as you. I still can’t believe it’s a fortune telling that a person can have.”
“I am a person.”
“Yes. If you are, so be it. What are you curious about?”
“…….”
I hesitated to answer. It was because there was nothing to be curious about. Apart from superstition, fortune-telling is not very trustworthy. Of course, I believe in destiny.
‘The original work I know is destiny.’
However, from the moment I came to this world, the original work begins to change. Until now, I have never flowed the same way as the original when I entered the play life. There was no case where the ending was the same as the original.
“I have no particular questions.”
“I knew you would. Those who have a little special divination usually do not believe in divination. I’ll randomly look at the fortune-telling. Your divination is so special that I can’t see everything, but… If it’s part….”
Cassandra Rubs Her Crystal Ball Contrary to what she said, her hands were normal. I don’t feel anything special about it.
“I see. Yes. There is a danger that will come to you sooner or later.”
“… Is it dangerous?”
“Yes. The risk of losing something valuable. I don’t know if it’s a meaningful risk to you.”
“Hmm.”
There is a risk of losing something precious.
I don’t know what you’re talking about, but it’s very embarrassing to hear bad fortune-telling.
‘Can’t I say something nice?’
If it’s something like a tarot card, you can understand it, he said while touching a crystal ball. There was no way to know how to read fortune.
“The only advice I can give you is this. Look out.”
Cassandra speaks in a serious voice. It was a fortune teller because of work anyway. I roughly nodded.
“Yes. I will be careful.”
While Cassandra was concentrating on me, Su-mi Kang looked at Cassandra with her witch’s mirror. It may not look exquisite from Cassandra’s angle, but she looks good from my point of view. Cassandra in her mirror hadn’t changed. She wasn’t a vampire.
“Thank you for watching! I had a great time thanks to you!”
Sumi Kang woke up.
My business is over, so I can go.
“Miss.”
Cassandra caught Sumi Kang as she tried to get up.
“Don’t forget what I said. This is the moment of choice.”
Sumi Kang glanced at me for a moment before answering.
“Ah yes.”
“Bye. Especially the young lady, you’d better be really careful.”
Cassandra emphasized once more before leaving. Sumi Kang hesitated. But she soon smiled and said goodbye and left the fortune teller.
Sumi Kang came out of the gate and sighed.
“You really are a fortuneteller. I think it’s the most powerful fortune teller I’ve ever seen.”
“Do you like fortune telling?”
“I have a friend who likes divination. I went to the fortune teller several times a month. Most of the fortunetellers have a conversation and hit it with their notice and information… That fortune teller really felt like he could see right through me.”
“A burning lake? It seems that the moment the fortuneteller said that, your expression changed.”
“… Mmm. It was a word that struck a chord. It’s a long time ago, and it’s personal, so I don’t want to tell you.”
“The fortuneteller says I am your nobleman.”
“So. That’s the most suspicious. I wonder if it was just something I said.”
I asked, looking at Sumi Kang with her serious eyes.
“Do you have anything to say to me?”
“… Do you want to be treated like a nobleman?”
“Giving you a chance to hold my hand. That fortune teller. He said he was like a very brave fortune teller.”
“…….”
Sumi Kang was silent.
I was a little taken aback by her reaction. She was joking around a bit. But she was serious.
“Let’s focus on work for now. Because I checked more than half of them. A little more and it will be over.”
Woo woo woo woo.
The wind blew.
It was such a strong wind that it was hard to open my eyes. Me and her reflexively winced at her.
‘I can’t believe the strong wind is blowing in the alley… It’s strange.’
Su-mi Kang must have thought the same as me. When the wind stopped, she looked around her head like I did. And we looked back and were amazed.
It was because the gate that had been written as Cassandra’s Fortune Store had disappeared without a trace. Sumi Kang ran to the place where the gate was and knocked on the wall. A sound hitting the wall was heard.
“Eugene! Can you listen to my body? I need to know what lies beyond these walls!”
“Excuse me for a moment.”
Grab Sumi Kang by the waist and lift her up. Because of her small frame, she was not very heavy.
“Nonsense….”
“What’s the matter?”
“There is no home that should be beyond the wall. It’s a different house.”
“Let me see you too.”
Drop her off and check her hanging on the wall. As she said, there was another house beyond the wall. The structure of the house itself was completely different.
“…….”
I was silent. My mind was busy. Am I mistaken? No, it can’t be. Did a noble-class vampire take illusions? The absolute spirit was always activated. Even Elena, the best illusionist I know, cannot cast a mental spell on me.
After coming down from the wall, I met Kang Sumi’s eyes.
“I’ve been through all sorts of strange things. Do informants go through this often?”
“Don’t talk nonsense. It’s my first time ever like this. The woman is probably….”
“Maybe?”
“She seems to be a witch.”
“Didn’t she say that witches are in the company’s secret places?”
“Because there are not only witches belonging to companies in this world. It’s probably a witch the company doesn’t know about. She can’t do this unless she’s a witch. I checked with the witch’s mirror that I’m not a vampire.”
I hit the dead end wall with the back of my hand. It was an ordinary wall.
It was like being possessed by a witch.
‘If it’s a real witch, I don’t know if the witch’s divination is real.’
Glancing at Sumi Kang, it seemed that she was thinking the same thing as me. Her eyes were shaking and she was agitated.
• • •
Sumi Kang tried to tell me something of hers, but she stopped several times.
It’s already past 10pm. The work is almost done. No, it would be correct to assume that it is already over. Since 30 minutes ago, I had been going round and round this town meaninglessly.
In other words, now Sumi Kang was in conflict. I get a sense of what she’s conflicting with. The cause of the conflict must be Cassandra’s divination.
“Sumi Kang.”
I called her ahead of her and stopped her. There was no one around her. Only dim streetlights illuminate us. She quits acting pretending to be a good person. The voice that came out of my mouth was colder than I thought.
“Why don’t you make up your mind now?”
“What, what are you talking about? Midnight Snack? Midnight snack… Isn’t chicken okay and good? Do you hate chicken?”
“Chief Soo-hyeok Kwak and I. You’re looking at which one to choose. Originally, I would have followed Chief Kwak Soo-hyeok’s words without saying anything, but I couldn’t make a choice because of Cassandra’s words. It’s not an ordinary fortune teller’s divination, but a witch’s divination. Am I wrong?”
Sumi Kang smiled bitterly at her. It was the smile of an adult, contrasting with the middle schooler-like appearance.
“I knew that too. But. It was a bit sloppy for Kwak Soo-hyeok’s strategy. If it was an ordinary Chief Kwak, he would have taken the time to deal with it quietly. I don’t know why, but it seems like I was in a lot of hurry. But you were so good that you accepted the job. Are you sure you won’t get hurt?”
“What deal did you make with him?”
“I need money and medical facilities. My mother and father are very sick, and my younger siblings play music.”
Music.
It won’t be just a level of enjoyment. I know that the art department needs a lot of money. Besides, mother and father are very sick? If you need medical facilities, you should be considered uncomfortable.
‘Kang Su-mi’s current situation is perfect for her 3rd-generation conglomerate Kwak Su-hyeok to take advantage of.’
And both can be solved.
Money is not a big problem for Kang Sumi. Since she is the company’s information department, she will basically get a lot of salary. The problem is the medical facility. If Kwak Soo-hyeok, a third-generation conglomerate, is determined and interferes, she may not receive treatment in Korea.
“Can you help me?”
“Do you think I can solve it?”
“Because the witch said you were a nobleman. Witch. To be precise, to believe in her witch power. Of course I just don’t believe it. I know you just won’t help me.”
“I see something.”
“I have a recording file. A recording of what Chief Kwak instructed me to do. This is the data that Manager Kwak prepared when he was about to dispose of me. A person like Chief Kwak will surely try to dispose of me when I become useless or annoying.”
“Thorough. Great. I will help you on the condition that you report the data to the upper level and stab Manager Kwak in the back.”
“If I stab this, the company will brand me a traitor. There are quite a few followers of Kwak in the company.”
“I’ll give you medicine to cure your parents and a lot of money so that your younger siblings can study music. So that you don’t have to live in a company.”
