When they heard that Seo Kang-rim was a regressor, most of the Bihomun group looked bewildered.
It was a story that was hard to believe, so that was probably the general reaction.
In that situation, the only people who accepted it naturally were Dokgo Jun and Shin Soo Ah.
“Given Kangrim’s personality, there’s no reason for him to lie or joke around. That’s why I just believed him.”
“It’s understandable that she would be a little surprised or curious. Su-ah really trusts Kang-rim. She doesn’t doubt him even once.”
It was a tone that seemed to be sarcastic without being obvious.
It seemed as if he was mocking the unconditional trust she showed.
Shin Soo-ah glared at Dokgo Jun, but he ignored her and continued talking.
“I thought it was strange since I was in the educational facility. Shin Soo-ah, why do you trust and follow Seo Kang-rim so much? You even gave up one of your arms to save Seo Kang-rim.”
“… … .”
“And you even used your right to ask questions for Seo Kang-rim? I’m telling you, you really did it with utmost sincerity.”
Dokgo Jun’s eyes were sharp like a scalpel.
A look that seemed as if it was trying to dismantle Shin Soo Ah.
He continued speaking with a sinister smile.
“The kindness that Shin Soo-ah shows to Seo Kang-rim is beyond common sense. I can’t understand it.”
“… … Well. It might be because of a connection from a past life.”
“Ah, the memories from before the regression have an effect? That makes sense to some extent. When I saw the face of that woman named Baek Young, there were people who said she was familiar.”
When Seo Kang-rim talked about Baek-young and showed her picture.
Shin Soo-ah, Yoo Ha-rang, and Jang Tae-heon felt that the face was very familiar.
Even though it was my first time seeing that face, I felt a strong murderous intent and anger welling up in me.
Dokgo Jun shrugged his shoulders and said.
“But it’s still strange. Before Jang Tae-heon and Yoo Ha-rang returned, they were colleagues with Seo Kang-rim. But they’re not as devoted as Shin Soo-ah.”
Certainly, their attitude towards Seo Kang-rim and Shin Soo-ah was different.
Shin Soo-ah couldn’t answer.
She also couldn’t figure out why she was so attracted to Seo Kang-rim.
When Shin Soo Ah looked a little confused, Dokgo Jun smiled faintly.
“Interesting. I want to know the origin of that feeling. If you happen to find out later, please let me know.”
Dokgo Jun left with a satisfied smile.
Shin Soo-ah stood there for a long time after he left.
Although he didn’t like the fact that Dokgo Jun was talking nonsense, he also had his own doubts.
‘Why do I care so much about Mr. Kangrim?’
Even I didn’t know the reason.
From the moment I first met him, I strangely felt like I had known him for a long time.
Also, when Seo Kang-rim was in danger, his body would move before his head and jump in.
‘It’s certainly strange, just as Dokgo Jun said… … .’
But no matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t figure out the reason.
Before the regression, did something happen?
Shin Soo-ah stood there for a long time, asking questions that had no answers.

When the gap between this world and the devil’s realm was connected, the door served as the connecting link.
The forms of inquiry varied, and their numbers varied as well.
Usually there is only one door leading into the Demon Realm, but depending on the size, there may be two or more.
The magical realm that Seo Kang-rim entered was also large in scale and, because it was classified as a special magical realm, it had multiple doors.
One of the gates was located not far from the secret building, while the other gate was created deep in a remote mountain.
In other words, it was an appropriate place to meet the fugitive Seo Hwa-kyung.
“Kangrim, are you here?”
As we entered the Demon Realm, a huge demon was dead with its tongue sticking out.
Seo Hwa-gyeong was waiting for Seo Kang-rim while sitting on the demon’s head.
It was a pretty strong magic wand, but it wouldn’t have been a big deal to Seo Hwa-kyung.
“I guess you’ve told your colleagues everything.”
“yes.”
Seo Kang-rim, in accordance with Seo Hwa-gyeong’s conditions, revealed to Bihomun and his group that he was a regressor.
Some were confused, some were bewildered, but in the end everyone decided to stay.
Seo Hwa-kyung jumped down with light movements.
“What happened to Dohyun?”
“I’ve calmed down a bit now.”
After hearing the news that Seo Hwa-kyung was alive, Kang Do-hyun also showed a similar reaction to Seo Kang-rim.
I was shocked, relieved, and wanted to fight together at the same time.
I wanted to meet Seo Hwa-kyung in person, but there were too many risk factors to come with me today.
“I’ve also escaped from the protection agency. Do-Hyeon has resigned from his job, but I think it would be better to stay safe for the time being.”
After learning of the identity of the Protectorate, Seo Kang-rim immediately asked Kang Do-hyeon to resign.
During that time, Kang Do-hyeon was able to obtain a lot of information while inside the protectorate.
However, unless you were a team leader, there was a limit to the information you could access, and if you left it like that and became a hostage, it would be even more difficult.
“I thought the protection agency would intervene during the resignation process, but fortunately, they passed.”
Just in case Kang Do-hyeon was harmed, Seo Kang-rim had already obtained a summoning stone from a special magic mirror.
If you destroy the summoning stone, you can summon the target you want.
I gave it to Kang Do-hyeon in case he was attacked, but fortunately he never had to use it.

“They probably thought that if they harmed or killed Do-hyeon, it would be obvious.”
Although they were reaching out to the people around Seo Kang-rim, they had not yet come forward openly.
The Protectorate probably didn’t want to reveal its identity either.
“I also predicted Dohyun’s future, and at least he won’t die in the near future. He does have a scar, though.”
“That’s great. And I have a favor to ask you about that.”
He took a wad of paper out of his bosom and handed it to Seo Hwa-kyung.
It was a terminal with the four pillars of destiny of the Bihomun group written on them.
“I hope you can confirm the future of your colleagues.”
Seo Kang-rim was a guide to fate and often saw the future as a result of the effects of boundaries, but it was an imperfect ability.
When it comes to predicting the future, no one has the ability to match Seo Hwa-gyeong.
When Seo Kang-rim looked into the fortunes of the group, he could only figure out that there was a big bad luck in their early years.
She received the fortune telling chart and read it with her eyes.
“Okay. Now, let’s take a look… … Shin Soo-ah, this girl has a lot of energy. She was born on the day of the month, the day of the year, and the hour of the year… … She doesn’t look human, she looks like a tiger.”
Seo Hwa-kyung was carefully looking at the four pillars of destiny and reading the members’ fates.
After all the work was done, she said with a bitter face.
“Shin Soo-ah, Yoo Ha-rang, and Jang Tae-heon, these three are at a crossroads in the future. No matter where they go, they are doomed.”
“… … .”
“They died before returning, right? That must have been their fate. Their death is a fixed event, and even if they leave you, they are not destined to live long.”
When he heard that, Seo Kang-rim felt his stomach growl for some reason.
Their death and life are fixed destinies.
Then Seo Hwa-kyung continued speaking.
“It seems like there’s at least some chance of survival if you’re around. Although it’s not an exact reading.”
“What about people who weren’t original members?”
“They don’t have good fortune either. Other people’s fortunes are short-lived too… … . Hmm?”
While Seo Hwa-kyung was looking at the fortune-telling chart, she made a puzzled face.
What she was looking at was Yun Gyul-woo.
“This guy is a bit strange. He should have died a long time ago, so why is he still alive?”
“Ah, that’s… … .”
Seo Kang-rim reported that Yun Gyul-wool died before returning, but this time he intervened in the incident and saved him.
Hearing that, Seo Hwa-kyung looked quite surprised.
“There’s a white tiger in there, but you took it out? This guy named Yun Gyul-wool was supposed to die there… … .”
“Teacher, haven’t you sometimes shown the way to people whose fate is to die?”
“They were able to escape because they had multiple paths to live, but Yun Gyul-woo was different. This guy’s path to death was too clear.”
Nevertheless, Yun Gyul-woo survived.
Was it possible for him to know the exact future because he was regressing?
Seo Hwa-kyung was still looking at the fortune teller with a suspicious look.
“Well, it seems like no one is going to die right now. If you want to live, tell me to stay right next to you.”
“Yes, sir.”
“And this isn’t the end? If it was just something like this, you could have just contacted me through a free phone call.”
As she said, Seo Kang-rim had other business to attend to, so he took the risk and made an appointment with Seo Hwa-kyung at the Demon Realm.
He got to the point.
“Teacher, do you know the identity of the director and the god he serves?”
“I haven’t seen the director in person yet, so I can’t confirm. I just know that a fairly powerful god was involved. And that god created the protectorate.”
Cheon Yeo-ul said that when she tried to persuade Seo Kang-rim.
Their goal is to weaken God.
Seo Hwa-kyung continued speaking bitterly.
“I don’t know exactly what the Protectorate’s god wants, but it is clear that he wants to control and dominate the people. If this continues, the Protectorate will become even more influential.”
Seo Kang-rim thought of the protectorate before the return.
As Seo Hwa-gyeong said, the protectorate grew larger and larger over time, and it began to exert influence almost like a government.
The god of the protectorate was taking over the world in that way.
“Teacher, you said that the god who came down to me when I was young was powerful. Do you know who that god is?”
“I couldn’t confirm the deity. I only know that it is a powerful god.”
“Is it possible that the god of the Protectorate and the god who came down to me are the same god?”
Seo Hwa-kyung seemed to have noticed his intentions.
She sat lost in thought, covering her mouth.
“It’s quite possible. There can’t be many gods that powerful. But I don’t know why such a god would target you.”
Seo Kang-rim also wanted to know the reason.
Why would he target me, a third-rank official, so much?
If I meet the director, will I be able to find out why?
Seo Hwa-kyung said with a complicated expression.
“So what are your plans for the future, Kangrim? I’m not going to invade the Protectorate right away.”
As she said, we knew who the enemy was, but we couldn’t take action right away.
They were still not strong enough to deal with the massive organization known as the Protectorate.
“First, I want to find out the true nature of the Protectorate. It will be easier to deal with them if they change from being the protector of all people to the enemy of all people.”
“Hmm. How?”
“First, I want to secure solid evidence. I plan to catch the fake clown and get information from him. But before that… … .”
Before that, he needed to become stronger.
Even if it involves risks.
Seo Kang-rim spoke to Seo Hwa-kyung.
“Teacher, can you open my demon gate?”
