Chapter 201 – Eight?
Return home and lie down on the bed.
I feel like my jaw is blocked.
Unidentified gaze, Seok Joo-hyeok, gray cat. All three can’t find any hope. Joo Hyuk is not reachable at all, the gray cat does not even come out with proper information, and no one but me remembers the unidentified gaze.
“…”
On the way back today, I called Han Ye-rin and ordered it. Find the connection between the gray cat and the monster. She said that Seol-ah reacts particularly loudly, and she wants to know why.
‘Because everyone already knows Seola is a monster.’
If you borrow the power of Null, it might be right away. If you still can’t find an answer, then you should ask Knight Janna-ri, who is most related to you.
There are still four days left until the winter break ceremony.
What to do with the rest of the time I scratch my back and get up from the bed. When I go out to the living room in the house where the lights are off, I find the spear of Longinus lying on the sofa.
“Why are you leaving this here…”
How much does this cost
I shove the Longinus roughly into my pocket. A few bowls missing and one broken chair gives a rough idea of what happened.
‘If it wasn’t for the Holy Light, it would have been a real disaster.’
Who would have known that the messenger would fly as soon as the manpower arrived.
I forcibly open my drowsy eyes and head to the refrigerator. Grab a water bottle, open the lid, and pour the water straight into your mouth.
“Haha…”
I roughly cover my mouth and go into the restroom.
Four in the morning.
It was dawn.

[It’s still lukewarm. It’s being done in secret, but I don’t know why… Other ignorant monsters don’t respond, so it’s hard to confirm. Maybe it’s just witches?]
“If you don’t know, go ahead.”
[Also, we continue to monitor the ‘unidentified gaze’ that the master said, but even if we gather all the testimonies, survivors, and people related to this situation, we can’t get any clue what this is. Even if I check each one of the students who were in the auditorium at that time, all I can say is ‘I don’t know’.]
“Okay.”
[First of all, it’s what the master said, so I believe it. After all, I don’t remember… If something really did ‘memory manipulation’, then the gray cat is the only one kangie. Among the super high-risk monsters, he is the only one who uses illusion magic, and the montage that appears on the owner’s cell phone is also the same.]
“…”
[I don’t know anything else, but if you can do this extensive memory manipulation without getting caught… Haa. I think you know that it’s not an easy bet. I don’t know anything else, but it’s certain that the monster is interested in the owner. No matter how prepared the master is, it’s impossible to kill that monster alone, so I called a servant and set up the minimum safety device-]
“No it’s okay.”
It’s not something that can be prevented with just that. At least a detached unit must be brought. Thank you for your heart, but right now it’s just a useless waste of time for wasting manpower.
[Master?]
“I can’t do anything right now. If that’s the case, it would be more realistic to wear a detached unit. I don’t know if I can win with the detached unit.”
[Then call your sister…]
“But, right now, tracking down this monster is being done in top secret. You don’t know when this monster will disappear, when it will appear, or anything else, but attaching a detached unit next to me is just advertising it.”
The media isn’t stupid.
“Also, right now the detached unit is concentrating on rescuing the remaining medium-large monsters. The timing is not good. And… More than anything.”
Touch your forehead with your hand.
“At that time, nearly 600 students gathered in the auditorium. The professor and the recruiting staff saw it all… But they couldn’t remember a single thing. Like you said, this is an unprecedented group memory manipulation. Seol-ah was helpless. It’s a monster that can do whatever it wants like kneading it.”
[…
“And what if the detached unit instead of me was killed?”
What if there is a runaway?
A city disappears without playing around. Imagine Kang Ji-ah going wild, if she puts her mind to it, she can turn a small mountain into a flat land. Individual but the whole suffers?
“This isn’t just a super high-risk monster.”
If, indeed, that cat did it…
“Even if you can’t do it, it’s an extremely high risk. It’s not right to stimulate it. Let’s just keep an eye on it.”
It should also be communicated to the government. It is urgent to stop the search and retreat. Seol-ah was killed, but there was no way the detached team could withstand it.
[…Okay, Master. Then, when should I schedule the inspection?]
“I’ll go tomorrow.”
It’s an unexpected brain test. I thought it would be better than not doing it at all, so I ordered Han Ye-rin.
[Yes, then…]
“I’ll see you tomorrow.”
[Yes.]
Pop.
The phone hangs up.
“…”
Maybe that gaze came to see ‘Seola’. She sits in a chair, stretches her legs, and ponders.
The point at which the monster stopped moving was the same as the point at which Seol-ah stopped having seizures.
The moment when Seol-ah and I just met eyes. When Seol-ah lost consciousness again and lost her memory, all monsters stopped attacking and went back to normal.
It seems to be over as soon as the goal is achieved.
“…”
If so, what is the purpose?
What purpose did you achieve so you went back right away?
Shake her hair and shake it off. This is not something simple that I can respond to. Even if I think about it, my head hurts and it’s negative, but nothing helps. I shoved my thoughts into a corner and sighed.
“Oh right.”
Pick up her cell phone and text her girlfriend.
– Are you interested in a double date?
1 disappears in the blink of an eye.
– Doesn’t exist. All you need is Taeho
Also, I hoped
It’s been a while since we’ve seen each other, but it’s never okay for someone to get in between Taeho and me.
– I’ll be back in the next week or two, don’t even make eye contact with other girls after I come.
– As much as I am completely yours, Taeho is completely mine. If the time permits, we’ll cool off right away and we’ll stick together all day and kiss each other, but right now, I’m holding on to this too.
– Don’t even think about other girls besides me, I mean it, I love you very, very much, Taeho.
Cold sweat fills your forehead. It seems to be piled up right before death.
– Are you Seo Ha?
– I’ll follow you all the way to the bathroom, so if you’re nervous, just don’t do anything. I’ll do it all. Even though I didn’t take bridal lessons, I know Taeho better than anyone else. I’ll cook for you, help you study, and do anything you need. No, it’s dangerous to go outside, so I just stick to the house all day?
– No
– It’s a joke. When it comes, let’s go outside and have fun. And when you get married later, I’ll take care of everything. I am confident
– What?
– You know I’m interested in the business world. I know how to roll an abacus better than anyone, so I touched money while Taeho was gone in the US. Dad was surprised. Where did you get that money from
What?
– Taeho… Did I improve a lot while I couldn’t see you? I endured each day with just one thought of Taeho. I eat hard, worry about Tae-ho a lot… Oh, let’s have about 8 children after we get married. Have you decided on a name?
– No wait
– I love you, Taeho. We fell apart for a while, but if we meet again later, we will never fall apart. Even if you die. I won’t fall no matter what I promise you forever
– Then see you later
Text is cut off
“…”
Eight people?
“Ah.”
Squeezed and squeezed
“Whoa…”
Run your hands through your hair. Are you just saying that as a joke? It’s disturbing. I’m genuinely worried that I’m stuck in my bedroom and can’t come out for the rest of my life.
“Shall we go for a walk?”
I want to soothe my heart. Just put on some clothes and go outside.

Early lunch.
While warming up and jumping rope in a nearby park, a familiar figure approaches from afar.
No wait.
“What are you doing here?”
“Jannari Knight…?”
Stop jumping rope and look at the retired knight. What is it, how did you find out?
Knight Jannari approaches me waving a white envelope. It must have been from a butcher shop, and the inside of the bongdu was full of all kinds of meat, starting with pork belly.
“Exercising… No, wait a minute, how did you come here?”
“We all know where our juniors are. It was a joke and we came here to buy bread for dessert, but we got caught in the middle. Isn’t your bakery famous?”
“Ah.”
When you realize that our bakery has become so famous that one of the country’s most important military powers visits you, driver Janna-ri naturally sits on a nearby bench. I put a heavy white envelope near my water bottle and start talking about it.
“My daughter loves meat so much, she ate pork belly yesterday, but she asked me to eat it again today, and she said how good the food is, just like her mother, she buys 10kg of meat and it disappears right away. .”
“Ah… Yes. No, 1,000? 10,000,000 won?”
Not some kind of food fighter. No, isn’t the child one?
“Yeah. Ten million won. Since I was growing up, it was quick to empty the refrigerator even if it was full of meat. If it weren’t for the subsidy from the government, I would have fallen to the ground. Just copy what I did in the past… Ha.”
I guess I’m not alone in my worries. I nod my head while listening.
“Even when I beat him to death, it wasn’t this hard… It feels like I’ve grown to five people. If my friends at home didn’t help me, I’d have gotten sick sooner or later.”
‘How much power is good.’
Do you have five kids?
Well, if there are five of us, there won’t be any bodies left. Knight Jannari stretched while saying that. ‘That guy’ is probably the humanoid monster ‘Replicus’. A cool breeze brushes through my bangs.
“Are you okay…?
“Whoa… But since it’s my child, I’m happy as hard as I am. Oh, if you go here, is it a bakery?”
Driver Jannari smiles brightly and points to the end of the park.
“Ah yes.”
“Then see you later! I’ll go feed the kids.”
Knight Janna-ri waved her hand and hurried away.
“Ha…”
I feel like my heart has become more complicated. I put my skipping rope on the bench and go to the nearby vending machine to get a drink.
“…Let’s just go check it out right away.”
Throw the finished can into the trash can.
