Chapter 199 – Life Is Over (1)
“That actor is coming out again this time.”
“Iknow, right. Didn’t you say you were going to the army?”
“It must have come out with a good scenario and acted.”
I nodded my head as I listened to Yoo-jung’s words. An actor on a variety show was promoting a movie he filmed. He played his role for a while, and the comedian next to him made a joke related to the movie, and the panel and audience burst into laughter with that witty one shot.
I also laughed and shut my mouth again. Senior Yoojeong pushed an apple into my mouth. I turned my head to accept the apple and changed the channel again. Senior Yoojung asked.
“Is there a program you want to see?”
“I don’t know.”
I stopped changing channels on the remote control. The case was over, but it didn’t seem over. My mind was restless, and my head seemed to be floating. I didn’t know exactly how to express my feelings. Should I cry
Yeonju Choi is dead. Only Almighty Emperor remains in my heart, originally Choi Yeon-ju is now dead. Should I grieve the fact that Choi Yeon-joo died? Or should I be glad that the Almighty has regained his memory, albeit fragmentarily?
“I’m frustrated. I don’t even know what to do.”
“Everything is like that. I am confused too.”
Senior Yujeong nodded her head and she said so. I looked at Yoo-jung. She turned her gaze to the TV with a bitter expression. I asked her
“In the end, getting Choi Soon-Hong to turn himself in was a failure.”
“So I am a bit confused right now. Is it right that I should be sad?”
I could hear Noboru’s screams faintly in the distance. I heard a voice complaining that Ichie was wrong. In this situation, it seemed that only reason was isolated. I smiled bitterly and buried my head in the pillow. When I put strength on my head, the pillow sucked my hair like a swamp. I said.
“At the end… I think you’ve come to your senses.”
I couldn’t be sure either. But at the last moment, the two of them jumped into the gate together to stop the monster. Senior Yoo Jung said.
“That makes me even more confused. If he had gone as a very bad person, he would have resented it, but in the end he returned to his old Hunter days. I feel even more strange. How do I look now?”
“It’s strange.”
Senior Yoojeong was looking at me with a distorted expression, unable to tell whether she was crying or laughing. Normally, she looked like she would have laughed at her strange expression. Senior Yoo-jeong smiled at my words and then she brushed my hair once. She ruffled her bangs like she was petting her pet dog, then she kissed my forehead. Then the nose. She then covered her lips. Her tongue flicked and she closed her eyes, then she patted my cheek and said,
“I’ll go and see Ha-yeon. You should have woken up now.”
“Please take a good look. You must have been very surprised.”
“Yes. Shouldn’t Suhyeon cry because I’m not there and stay calm?”
“All right.”
The door to the hospital room was closed. I confirmed that senior Yoo-jung had completely left and closed her eyes. As she took a deep breath and calmed her heart, the world turned white. When I opened my eyes again, before I knew it, I was in the world of images.
The Almighty and Misaki were there. The two of them were sitting and humming and drinking tea, while the world outside seemed to be their own business. When Almighty Emperor saw that I entered, he laughed and made a bed on one side. When a soft bed appeared, I naturally threw myself toward it.
I couldn’t move properly after getting injured, but it was nice to be able to move even in the world of images. The Almighty asked me.
“You look in a bad mood?”
“Not good. There was a commotion outside. I don’t even know what I should do now. Hunter Choi Yeon-joo is dead, but Almighty-je is by my side now. Every time I think about this, I get a little confused.”
“What is there to be confused about? We let go of our grief in our own way. You just have to think about how to move forward.”
“This is the way forward…”
I nodded her head at her words. It was as it was said. Now it was time to suppress the sadness and think about what to do next. Because we haven’t completely eradicated the terrorist group yet. Because there is still a group of evil targeting Korea.
“Do you have any guesses?”
“If you can guess, there is one.”
The Almighty nodded at my question. It was because she was watching the scene until the end even when I passed out. I asked her
“What is it?”
“Lee Hyun Woo. He said he won. When you fainted, Lee Hyeon-woo was the first to arrive at the scene.”
“Ah yes. I heard it was. While Lee Hyeon-woo took care of us and transported us to the hospital, he controlled the surrounding situation.”
“It wasn’t just that. At first, Hyunwoo Lee was thinking about something while watching us.”
“You were worried?”
“When he first arrived, the action he took was neither relieving the wounded nor arranging the situation. I had a conversation with the guy next to me on my cell phone, I didn’t know what the conversation was, but they were talking with a serious expression, as if we were having a meeting after seeing something went wrong with the plan.”
“Have you had a conversation?”
“Okay.”
It wasn’t a relief for the injured, as if he saw something unexpected, he didn’t bother talking with his mouth, but he was talking on his cell phone unnaturally? I was stunned and didn’t know about it, but it was definitely suspicious.
“I always thought that Lee Hyun-woo was suspicious. I used to say that Hyunwoo Lee is the most suspicious person in the past. At the time of the simple teleport device, Lee Hyeon-woo was interested in it.”
“That’s right. I had a story like that. However, there is no physical evidence then or now. I don’t even know what the hell you’re aiming for.”
“That’s the problem. If Lee Hyun-woo is really behind all these incidents, what the hell does Lee Hyun-woo gain from killing S-class hunters? It’s your own loss. Just watching TV right now, since he’s an S-class hunter by himself, he quit being an actor, and his activities are also restricted. He has no advantage by remaining alone.”
Hyunwoo Lee is awarded. It was a word agreed not only by the Black Dragon Room but also by the investigative agency and the Diamond Club. However, he was only suspicious and had no physical evidence. Almighty Emperor said.
“For now, recover your body. Think slowly.”
What is Lee Hyun-woo’s purpose? And is there any evidence to reveal the purpose? My head was complicated.
Almighty Emperor held me tightly in his arms and said,
“Get some rest now. Didn’t you suffer too? You and me too We’ve all had a very hard life. While I’m in the hospital, I’m just taking a break without thinking.”
I hugged her chest and took a deep breath. I felt Misaki jump in next to me and hug my back.

When her Holiness Yeon opened her eyes, what greeted her was the dotted ceiling typical of her hospital. The regular appearance of the wide planks attached to the floor like a wooden floor prevented Seong Ha-yeon from recognizing the reality. She carefully swept her stomach and looked around, then looked at Kim Yoo-jung next to her. Kim Yu-jung smiled awkwardly and said.
“Sister. Woke up?”
“…Huh.”
When I opened my mouth, my voice broke out. She noticed that my lips were dry. Kim Yoo-jung opened the refrigerator door and asked.
“Would you like some water?”
“Huh. Just give me a bottle.”
Kim Yoo-jung gave the bottle to Seong Ha-yeon at her request. Seong Ha-yeon took a sip of water from her bottle, let out a long breath, and looked out the window at her.
“What day is it today?”
“It’s only been a day.”
“Is Ichie healthy? Who is Suhyun?”
Seong Ha-yeon asked again. Kim Yu-jung smiled and said:
“Everyone is fine.”
“Thank god.”
Seong Ha-yeon smiled faintly. She had been fainting for a day, and her pale complexion made her laugh sad. She asked again.
“What about you?”
“Yes?”
After her Kim Yu-jung did not understand her for a moment, Seong Ha-yeon corrected her own expression.
“What about the ark?”
“That is…”
Kim Yu-jung blurted out her words because she didn’t know what to say. She didn’t know how to convey this sad news, but just by her stuttering her words, Seong Ha-yeon was able to grasp the situation. She closed her mouth tightly and began to cry. Her eyes reddened, and a single tear ran down her cheek.
She tried to show off her spirited attitude, befitting from a sports club. Kim Yoo-jung saw the distorted face of Seong Ha-yeon reflected in her glass window. She shut her mouth tight, bowed her head, and laid back on her bed, covering her with the blanket. Kim Yoo-jung carefully reached out her hand with her pitiful expression.
“…Sorry. Leave me alone.”
Kim Yoo-jung was able to understand her heart. She said, turning her body toward the door of her hospital room.
“Yes. All right. I’ll go see Ichie then.”
The door is closed. Cries were heard.
