Episode 292 Gate (7)
An object that I thought I would never see again after my reincarnation.
When I lived on Earth, it was a modern cultural artifact that was commonly encountered all over the world, and it was also something that I kept with me even at the moment of death.
Lois held up her smartphone and made a bewildered expression.
“… Why is this sticking out here?”
The moment of your life, the biggest crisis.
It was good that he was dragged to a strange place out of nowhere and saved his life, but it was quite embarrassing that a smartphone suddenly appeared in such a situation.
Furthermore… … .
“… “If I’m going to give it to you, I’ll give it a new one. What’s a used one?”
The smartphone in Lois’ hand was full of various scratches.
There were no signs of age anywhere on the back or the screen.
“And it’s not the latest model, even when I was using this model… uh?”
Royce’s chattering stopped as it had been a while since she held a smartphone.
His eyes were shaking.
‘Oh, no way… … .’
Lois looked at the smartphone a little more carefully.
Scratches on the liquid crystal and fuselage.
And an old holder attached to the rear of the aircraft.
Lois’ eyes widened as she examined everything carefully, and a voice like a moan came out.
“… “Is this mine?”
Traces left on the cell phone.
At first, I didn’t immediately recognize it.
But as time passed, familiar traces were discovered.
The dent in the upper right corner occurred when I dropped my phone in surprise when I first found out I was sick.
Scratches on the screen caused by scrolling up and down countless times.
There is even a holder that you can attach your fingers to because your strength is getting weaker day by day.
Even though a long time has passed, how can I forget?
Day after day, I get sick and become weaker day by day.
In my hellish daily life, the only way I could communicate with the world was this old smartphone with a small screen.
“ah… … .”
For Lois, the smartphone was the essence of attachment and obsession that stayed with her until the last moment of her life.
Recognizing this, Lois’ hands trembled slightly.
“Why is this… … ?”
Lois took a deep breath and pressed and held the power button.
My heart flutters-.
His heart was pounding violently.
Approximately hundreds of years in Evan dimension time.
We don’t know how much time has passed on Earth.
However, judging from the presence of Cheolsu 88, it did not appear that much time had passed since his death.
Still, the smartphone he was using was a fairly old model.
Since it was an old piece of junk that often discharged after only a few hours, there was a high probability that the power would not turn on.
“It’s on?!”
As if Lois’ worries were meaningless, the screen lit up.
However, there was one strange thing.
“… “What is this again?”
Usually, when a smartphone is turned on, the first thing that appears is the manufacturer or carrier’s logo.
But what appeared on the cell phone screen now was a line of writing.
[Look for him.]
White letters floating on a black background.
This soon disappeared and the next text appeared.
[Only he can perfect the best armillary sphere sword.]
With that, the black background disappeared and the screen completely lit up.
But that wasn’t the end of Lois’s bewilderment.
“Gollang…” “Just this?”
Many of the apps he used had disappeared.
Even basic applications such as call buttons and messages were not installed.
There is only one thing on the screen.
It’s just a bizarre application that has no name and is shaped like a door.
“hmm… … .”
Lois quietly looked at the screen and was lost in thought.
‘Are you going to press this?’
A strong curiosity and impulse arose in her heart, but Lois managed to hold back.
‘What if it’s Kydus’ trap?’
Wouldn’t it suddenly be sent to an unknown location?
Wouldn’t the cell phone you used in the past pop out?
It was a suspicious situation in many ways.
‘But is there really a need for him to do that?’
The situation just a moment ago was unconditionally advantageous to Kydus.

9 to 1.
No, his defeat was confirmed with odds of 99 to 1.
In the meantime, is there any need for Kydus to go through the trouble of staging a situation like this?
In a situation where all you have to do is simply take your own life?
‘There is little chance of him bothering to set a trap.’
Lois concluded that the situation she was experiencing now was not something Kydus had planned.
‘Then who is it?’
There was one person that really caught my attention.
‘As expected, Rotbarrier?’
What Kydus had said came to his mind.
[I need to disappear. It’s a variable of the Rotbarrier.]
Kydus had certainly said so.
‘It’s a variable of the rot barrier… … .’
So Lois assumed the situation.
Kydus was planning something that would have a negative impact on the Evan dimension, and Rotvereer found out about it.
What if Rotvere summoned his dead soul into this world to stop Kydus’ plan?
‘The general picture fits roughly.’
Lois turned her gaze back to her smartphone.
“Then, if this is the arrangement prepared by Lotbarrier… … .”
So, if there is something prepared that can overcome the current situation… … .
“I definitely have to check it out.”
Having made that decision, Lois slowly moved her finger to the liquid crystal display.
and.
Tok-.
When his fingertip lightly touched the only app that existed, the screen turned black.
A white text immediately came to mind.
[Please come back on time.]
‘… What does this mean?’
Lois’ doubts did not last long.
Hwaak-.
An intense light suddenly spread out from the pure white text.
“Ugh!”
Lois, who had let her guard down and was exposed to the light, quickly closed her eyes.
“… … .”
How much time has passed since then?
Bread-bread-.
It felt familiar, but Lois slowly opened her eyes at the sound she hadn’t heard in such a long time.
Lois’ mouth slightly opened at the sight that came into view.
“… … ?!”
Lois was so shocked that she froze in a daze.
The pungent smell of soot flowed into his nostrils, awakening his consciousness.
“ah… … .”
Bbangbang-.
Cars lined up on the road, horns honking at vehicles cutting in.
People busy crossing the crosswalk.
Tall skyscrapers nearby.
finally.
[Jonggak Exit 4]
The moment Lois saw the subway entrance with a familiar name, she let out an uncontrollable sigh.
“crazy… “What kind of bullshit case is this?”
The Earth that was thought to never return.
It’s also in the middle of Seoul, South Korea.
“her… … .”
All it took was a brief blink from the glare, but Lois was back in her former home country.
* * *
Seoul night.
In particular, since it is the Jonggak area with many office workers, it was crowded with people even though it was late at night.
Royce wandered aimlessly around Jongno.
Many eyes were focused on him.
“and! Did you see that foreigner? “Are you human?”
“Huh? Elf?”
“Look at the small face… … .”
“Aren’t you a crazy butcher?!”
Lois’ appearance attracted people’s attention wherever she went.
Overwhelming visuals that are far from reality.
Moreover, because of his somewhat unusual features of white hair and purple eyes, he could be instantly recognized among hundreds of people.
However, those external characteristics suited Lois so well that people felt more mysterious than foreign about him.
“Should I go and ask for his phone number?”
“Are you good at English?”
“… no.”
Lois, who had been wandering around unintentionally bewitching people, flopped down on a bench provided near the store.
“ha… … .”
He sighed heavily and scratched his head.
“life… No, why are flatland storms so frequent in Yongsaeng? … .”
Just a few minutes ago, his life was in danger as he fought fiercely with Kydus.
But now it was suddenly abandoned in the middle of Seoul.
I couldn’t believe this situation at all.
‘Is it a dream…? … ?’
Raising her head slightly, Lois’ gaze caught her reflection in the glass window of the shopping mall.
The glass window showed Lois as she had been seen for hundreds of years, not as she was before reincarnation.
Keep going, keep going.
Lois looked at the glass window and pulled her cheeks to the side.
I felt a slight pain in my cheek.
‘There is also pain.’
There… … .
‘It’s sparse, but there’s mana.’
Although it is little more than rat droppings, mana definitely exists.
Being able to feel this confirmed Lois that the current situation was not a dream.
Moreover, isn’t there something in one’s hands that supports the reality of what is happening now?
Royce fiddling with her smartphone.
“Umm… … .”
Annoyance appeared on his face as he played with his smartphone, thinking that there might be something that could provide a clue.
This is because an unexpected problem occurred.
“this… “Why doesn’t it turn on?”
The smartphone that sent him to Earth did not turn on.
Lois’ face became serious.
‘Could it be a one-off?’
However, to say that was not the case, the phrase ‘Please come back on time’ clearly appeared.
That would definitely imply that we can go back again.
Lois sorted out her complicated feelings.
‘Let’s think about it step by step.’
If the person who left the smartphone was Rotberg, he would have definitely left a clue.
‘I told you to find him, and the armillary sphere… … . First of all, whether it’s an armillary sphere or something else, we’ll have to wait until we find the guy called ‘him’, so let’s put it aside for a while.’
The first question to be resolved was who ‘he’ was.
I wonder if ‘he’ is a woman or a man.
No, I don’t know if it’s human or not.
There were so few clues.
Lois began to piece together what could be considered clues.
‘Once Rotverier sent me to Earth to find him.’
This means that there is a being called ‘he’ on Earth, and at least it means that there is a high probability that ‘he’ is related to your situation.
As Lois was reasoning about the situation, a being came to mind.
“no way… no way… … ?”
A being that exists on Earth and is related to work in the Evan dimension.
As far as Lois knew, there was only one such being.
“… Cheolsu88?”
No matter how much I thought about it, that was it.
But the problem was where to find him.
I don’t even know where I live, nor my name, gender, or age?
‘If you look at the nickname, it might be Cheolsu and he was born in 1988.’
Even that wasn’t certain.
First of all, the only clues are the blog he ran and the nickname Cheolsu88.
“under… “I wonder what kind of trouble I’m going through if I use the wrong finger.”
Lois sighed loudly, her lips sticking out.
‘First of all, I’ll have to assume that he is Cheolsu88 and look for him.’
If ‘he’ wasn’t Cheolsu88, he could just go back and think again.
Lois thought deeply for a moment and suddenly shook her head.
‘No… Cheolsu88 Even if this hadn’t happened, we definitely need to find that bastard.’
Lois’ eyes sparkled.
“How much trouble did I go through because of that bastard?”
At least a little bit about the hard work you went through. Shouldn’t we at least repay the favor?
‘Then where do you find this bastard?’
The only clues to finding Cheolsu88 are his blog and nickname.
To be honest, Lois finding him with just this was like finding Kim in Seoul.
Moreover, Royce currently does not have a resident registration card or even a passport.
In some ways, my situation was no different from that of an illegal immigrant.
It was the perfect situation for an unfortunate incident to occur after being caught up in something unfortunate.
Nevertheless, Lois remained calm.
No, I was overflowing with leisure.
‘Mana is scarce, but it’s enough to use it to some extent… The sub-space opens well without any problems… … .’
Even though he did not have a resident registration card or passport, didn’t he have a report of imputation that is universally accepted?
Lois’ hand, which was in her pants pocket, wandered around in subspace and pulled out a yellow gold bar.
The corners of Lois’ mouth curled up at the heavy weight.
“After all, this kind of work should be left to the experts, right?”
When I look back on my past life, there is nothing in this country that cannot be done with money.
The smile on Lois’s lips deepened.
“Okay, now let’s try something that I haven’t been able to do before!”
If you can’t avoid it, enjoy it.
If you’re not going to be able to go back for a while anyway, shouldn’t you do everything you can while you’re there?
“Hehehe.”
Lois let out a sinister laugh and got up from her seat.
At that time, two foreign women approached Lois.
“Excuse me!”
Lois, who flinched at the foreign woman’s words, shouted urgently.
“I am Korean. I can’t speak English. Am Korean! “No speaking English!”
Then Lois runs away at a brisk pace.
“… … .”
Fluent Korean and awkward English coming from a young man who looked like a foreigner to anyone.
The foreign women just stared blankly at the back of Lois as she disappeared with a dumbfounded expression.
