I Don’t Want This Reincarnation - CH 267

After hearing all the news about Luzel and Luke, along with the Praus Cult and the other producers, Li Wei nodded with a complicated expression.

“I see… I thought that I had a bad memory somehow but, tsk tsk.”

“Do you have any memories of being mental-controlled?”

“There’s nothing. It’s blurry though. It feels like a dream.”

Li Wei, scratching his forehead, looked at me.

“All the producers, including myself, did was create a space. The space where you went into.”

“Even so, I have a question about space.”

I remembered many things I had seen in space. Places that recreated my past memories as they were, ordinary people passing by, and the surroundings filled with the lines that Edward saw.

“Is it possible to create such a detailed and spacious space even if there are several high-ranking producers? Especially based on a person’s past.”

“I don’t know that either. I don’t remember much… I haven’t experienced how the inside of that space works. But there’s one thing I can think of.”

“What is that?”

“It’s the only moment I still remember vividly in my dim memory.”

Li Wei blinked slowly and opened his lips.

“Is it… Doctor? I mean, that crazy guy. That bastard came to me with a strange thing before I made the space.”

An unknown and strange emotion arose in Li Wei’s two eyes as he stared into the air to see if he could remember that time.

“The red liquid in a small sample bottle… no matter how much I look at it, it was someone’s blood. He handed it to me and told me to use it to make space.”

“Blood?”

“Yeah, blood. I’m pretty sure I actually used it after I got it. It was blood that felt very energetic. No, it’s hard to believe that it felt like the energy in human blood, but I believe.”

Blood that felt like the energy? And you could feel great energy?

I reflexively looked at Cheon Sa-yeon who was standing next to me. He felt something like me and frowned.

“I’m proud of myself for having space ability, but as you said… I can’t create such a realistic space. Even if all the producers in the world gathered together. So what made it possible was the power of blood given to me by the damn bastard.”

“Any other information about that blood?”

“No. I was just a machine that only moved to achieve the purpose of creating space through mental control. Now, honestly, I want to have that blood one more time.”

“…what do you mean?”

Li Wei answered with a hoarse voice and out-of-focus eyes.

“It was really weird… I feel like I could really make anything with that blood…”

It gave me slight goosebumps as if I was possessed by something. I didn’t know what ‘blood’ Li Wei was talking about, but I instinctively felt that it shouldn’t be left as it was.

“When I first entered the space, I could hear Producer Li Wei’s voice. It was said that the most terrifying moments of the strongest are recreated… was it true that Producer himself said it?”

“Right. I had done it probably.”

Li Wei, who stopped contemplating the continued question, meekly expressed his affirmation.

“Connecting spaces or creating new spaces is a very scary and dangerous thing. So whenever I use my abilities, I always plant hints that point to the weakness of the space.”

“Even if you’re under mental control?”

“They didn’t know that I had such a habit. You guys are lucky. A space so carefully crafted usually has only one exit.”

At the explanation that there was only one way out, a slight pain passed through my stomach. As expected. I smiled bitterly and got up from my seat.

“I understand. Thank you for letting me know in detail.”

“Tsk, it’s annoying, but since you guys saved me, I have to do this. Especially you! I still get angry when I see your good-looking face!”

“Ey, why are you doing this again after receiving four sapphire tail butterflies’ wings. You should contact the siblings Luzel and Luke.”

At my glance, Ha Tae-heon pulled out his cell phone from his arms, called Luzel, and handed it to Li Wei.

[Hello? Deputy Master Ha Tae-heon?]

“Baby. It’s me.”

[Gra, Grandpa? Uwa, my God! Grandpa, are you really going to be like this?]

“Hoho, you little… fix your foul mouth.”

After hearing a rough story from Ha Tae-heon in advance, Luzel started crying and nagging as soon as the call was connected to Li Wei.

Although many things had happened, I was glad that Li Wei was able to return to Luzel and Luke’s side. I turned my back to Li Wei, who was comforting Luzel in a cold sweat, and said to everyone.

“I borrowed a drawing-room from Deputy Master Chloe. Let’s go there.”

* * *

“Fortunately, Korea hasn’t had any major problems so far.”

After meeting Li Wei, we moved to the drawing-room and checked the movement of the Praus Cult and the situation in Korea.

Since our schedule in America originally scheduled for about a week had passed, both Requiem and Roheon had quite a lot of work to do.

“Still, it seems better to return to Korea as soon as possible.”

Woo Seo-hyuk opened his mouth at my words.

“I’ve put in the application to get one more move service from the JS company we used when we came here. However, it’s likely that it will be canceled because it isn’t a reservation made in advance.”

“Um, I guess because it’s a place used by celebrities a lot. It would take at least three or four more days to get ready…”

“The JS company said that they will give us a reply this afternoon, so we will have to wait first. If it’s cancelled, we will ask to go separately with the Producer of space control Li Wei.”

“That would be better. Um, and…”

I couldn’t easily follow and touched the nape of my neck.

I had to explain to everyone that I was Kwon Se-hyun in the past, but I had no idea how to open the beginning.

While talking to Cheon Sa-yeon, I decided to protect everyone and live together, and at the same time, I was determined to confess my past honestly. But explaining it so everyone can understand it was a different matter.

‘Still, they had seen my figure change to Kwon Se-hyun, so they may believe it to some extent…’

No matter how difficult it was, I had to do it. When we returned to Korea, everyone would be busy with the backlogged tasks, so now was my chance.

I raised my head, facing the gazes that were focused on me, and continued the words I had stopped.

“Actually, I…”

Piiik! Pik!

But before I could finish my words, Fox, who had been held with his invisibility off, suddenly jumped up and began to cry loudly. Oh my gosh.

“What is it, what’s wrong?”

Piik! Pik!

Fox that had been pulling my clothes while wagging his rich tail vigorously flew away. Then he sprinted out of the open window.

“Fox!”

I was very bewildered because he had never done anything like this before. Surprised, I jumped up and stepped on the window sill, following him with the wind.

Perhaps because he used new invisibility, no matter how much I looked outside, I couldn’t see the white shiny Fox.

“Ha, Han Yi-gyeol!”

I had to catch him before he went any further. There was no time to answer Kim Woo-jin’s call from behind. I hurriedly lifted myself up in the wind and flew into the air, calmly looking around first.

“……?”

It was then. Instead of Fox, a certain person caught my eye.

Standing in front of the Athena Guild building, he was wearing a deep hat, so his face was hard to see, but from his physique and tall height, he was definitely a man.

Above all else… he gave off a familiar atmosphere. I narrowed my eyes at that unfamiliar feeling.

When the other person saw me floating in the sky, he smiled and waved his hand gently. The silver hair, exposed under the hat, glistened in the sunlight.

‘No way?’

Few people I knew had grey hair. I descended quickly, came down in front of the man, and asked carefully.

“…El?”

“It’s been a while, Se-hyun-ah.”

He answered with a deep smile as if it was the correct answer while raising his hat slightly. Golden eyes appeared under the brim of the hat.

“Are you really El? But the hair… I thought it was Elahah.”

“My hair would catch the attention naturally. I adjusted the length of my hair with an illusion item.”

Elohim’s long hair, which was over his waist, was arranged enough to cover his ears, just like Elahah.

“I thought it was time to meet you in person, so I came. I knew you would recognize me at once.”

When I heard the friendly voice, I realized that the man in front of me was really Elohim. He approached me, unable to hide his joy, and gently stroked my hair.

Piiik, pik!

As I got closer to Elohim, I heard Fox crying near my shoulder.

Apparently, he noticed Elohim’s presence before me and came out to meet him. No wonder. He pulled my clothes hard before going out the window.

“If it wasn’t for Fox, I wouldn’t have known you were here.”

“Fox is a sensitive child, so he noticed me. That’s why I trust him. If it wasn’t for Fox, I’d have signalled you in other ways, so don’t worry too much.”

Pik!

Fox, who was aware of my praise very well, cried in triumph. Seeing that, I was curious about Fox’s brothers I saw when I was with Elohim.

“Is everyone okay? What about Elahah?”

“Of course, they’re fine. Elahah is doing well, but… he seems to have been feeling a little uncomfortable lately.”

“Feeling uncomfortable?”

I thought of Elahah’s face with a sullen expression on his face. Um, wasn’t it always like that…?

Elohim, who could read my thoughts without needing to speak, shed a small laugh.

“It’s a little different from usual. It would be better to go up first and talk about the details later.”

Elohim shifted his gaze. His right golden eye, looking at the building, was filled with light.

“It just happened that everyone is gathered together.”

Worry came to me when I noticed that his gaze was directed straight into the drawing-room.

“Will it be okay?”

“It’s okay. They’ve already seen your abilities. And while explaining the Praus Cult, didn’t you try to mention her name as well?”

“……”

Her name. As Elohim said, I was going to tell everyone about Kali’s existence. It would be a little less dangerous if I pointed out that it wasn’t just a religious group.

“That’s not a bad idea. That’s why I came here on my own. Elahah also agreed, so there’s no need to worry too much.”

“Then I’m glad to hear that…”

“Trust me. Well then, let’s go.”

Once again, Elohim, who was wearing a hat and pressing it deeply, took my hand and walked towards the entrance of the building.
