I asked myself questions, but no answers came.
Meanwhile, Shin Soo-ah kept sending me unpaid messages, but he didn’t respond.
‘But Seo Kang-rim is still incomplete.’
I still couldn’t fully trust him.
In this situation, if you contact Shin Soo-ah, all the information you convey will be shared with Seo Kang-rim.
So he cut off contact and waited for an opportunity.
Anonymous sighed softly.
He didn’t know if his plan would succeed, but he knew one thing for sure.
The end of this story is starting to come into view.
He didn’t know if he would ever be able to atone for the sins he had committed, but for now, he had to wait.
‘The trap has been set, and the locations of Seo Kang-rim and Shin Soo-ah have also been confirmed.’
If the trap is triggered, I will be able to deal with not only the messengers but also Seo Kang-rim and Shin Soo-ah as I wish.
Now all you have to do is wait for the prey to fall for you.
He slowly got up, preparing for what was to come.

“… … You encountered a clown?”
Ha Baek-heon, who was listening to Annabi’s report, was staring at her with cold eyes.
Annabi returned covered in wounds here and there.
Still, Annabi answered in a calm tone.
“Yes. We found two clowns while searching, and they were quite strong.”
“What happened to those two? It looks like they weren’t captured.”
At those words, Annabi bowed her head deeply in apology and added an explanation.
He tried to indoctrinate the two people and barely succeeded in driving them out, but that was all.
“I should have captured him or at least killed him. I feel ashamed.”
“No, no. It looks like it could have been annihilated, but I’m glad you came back safely.”
Ha Baek-heon said that it was fortunate, but his expression was stiff.
The already complicated situation was taking an even worse turn due to the intervention of the clown.
‘How did the Clowns find out about the first owner? They raided the lab too. Their intelligence is better than we expected.’
Not only did he discover the existence of the first owner, he even came to the new realm.
It was a matter that needed to be reported to Seomun Yongnyeo immediately, but the time and space dispatchers had all run out.
He bit his lip.
‘This is difficult. If we make contact with them before we deal with the first master… … .’
It doesn’t matter if the clown defeats the first owner.
But that seemed unlikely, and it seemed like they had come to cooperate.
That was the only thing that had to be ruled out.
‘But thanks to the appearance of the clown, it seems like I’ve been reattached to the messengers… … .’
Ha Baek-heon glanced at the messengers.
The messengers who returned with Annabi were considerably injured, but their eyes were filled with fighting spirit.
The tea master said as he treated Annabi.
“Thank you, Annabi. If it weren’t for you, we might have died. You even attempted a trance, so your body must be in bad shape… … .”
“No. I just did what I had to do.”
“Pretending to be strong. Anyway, the clowns showed up in the end… … . I thought something was strange because they were the first master’s subordinates and I couldn’t even see their noses.”
Ha Baek-heon listened to those words quietly and thought that ordinary messengers were indeed in trouble.
Are you saying that you were skeptical about the fact that the clown didn’t appear?
‘It would have been less tiring if it had only consisted of messengers born from unknown eggs.’
Because there were not enough people, we brought in regular drivers, but there were many inconveniences.
There were even messengers who questioned him in detail about how he found out about the relationship between the clown and the nameless person.
Still, I decided to hold out a little longer since it was still useful as a bullet shield.
At that moment, a soldier who had gone out on a reconnaissance mission came running in a hurry.
“Team Leader Ha Baek-heon! We’ve discovered a secret passage leading inside!”
At that news, Ha Baek-heon got up.
After the battle, the nameless man disappeared somewhere and hid his body.
I searched the entire library to find him, but he was nowhere to be found.
In the meantime, I found a secret passage.
There was a high probability that an anonymous person was hiding there.
Ha Baek-heon spoke to the messengers who were resting.
“Everyone, follow me… … and as you know, it gets more dangerous the further we go in.”
It meant to tell people to be prepared to die, and everyone understood what it meant.
But not a single person showed any sign of backing down.
Looking at those eyes, Ha Baek-heon felt a little tired.
‘It’s really amazing. To risk one’s life to protect the world… ‘
I briefly wondered what their expressions would be like if they knew that what they were doing was actually strangling humans, but it didn’t matter.
Most people will die here anyway.
The messengers moved inward, following the scouts’ guidance.
Then, just as he said, I was able to discover a hidden passageway beyond the large bookshelf.
They entered it, holding their breath.
The hidden passage was endlessly high above, and the ceiling was made of a glass dome, but the outside was not visible.

Beyond the window there was just darkness.
While a strange atmosphere was lingering somewhere, several people could feel the air flowing swaying.
It was a vibration like a giant bird flapping its wings.
-Clang!
I could hear the sound of wings flapping overhead, but what I saw was not a bird, but a piece of paper.
The books spilling out of the bookshelf began to break apart into individual sheets and gather in one place like butterflies.
What was created by combining countless sheets of paper was the shape of a human being.
-Shaaaaa… … .
It was made of paper and was floating in the air, flapping its huge wings.
There was one image that came to mind for many who saw it.
angel.
It was an angel made of paper.
Every time the white wings flapped, the black sentences seemed to ripple.
At first glance, it looked pious, but in the end, it was just a sacred beast protecting this place.
As the angel swung the spear he was holding, a shockwave struck down from the air.
-Quaqua light!
The messengers quickly fled from the attack, but not all of them were able to dodge.
Those who were still in good health rushed towards the god, pushing back their screaming comrades who had been attacked.
Ha Baek-heon gave instructions in a loud voice.
“Attack water first! That’s the weak point!”
As soon as he finished speaking, spheres made of water began to fly in from all directions.
Shinsoo tried to launch attacks at them, but the resistance of the messengers was so strong that it was not easy to approach them.
-Quazik!
Shinsoo quickly rushed towards the sorcerers, risking getting hit by water.
The wings were wet and heavy, but they were fast enough to pierce the messenger’s chest with the spear.
Even as he was dying, the messenger was cutting off the angel’s wings.
In the midst of the melee, there was someone watching the scene.
‘The battle is more intense than I thought.’
Seo Kang-rim and Shin Soo-ah were spying on them from a distance.
The two had been secretly following Annabi after she woke up from her unconsciousness.
Thanks to that, I was able to figure out how many other subordinates there were, including team leader Ha Baek-heon.
“[The dagger that was said to have fatally wounded the anonymous person, Ha Baek-heon must have it, right? It seems like he has no intention of taking it out right now.]”
Shin Soo Ah said while watching the battle.
As she said, Ha Baek-heon was using a different weapon.
“[If it’s a powerful weapon, it would be better to use it against the divine beast… … . Are you afraid of it being taken away?]”
“[That could be true, and upon checking, the weapon itself wasn’t that powerful. It could only inflict fatal damage on an anonymous person.]”
That’s why Ha Baek-heon seemed to be fighting while protecting his body as much as possible.
Seo Kang-rim was looking at him carefully.
‘I feel sorry for the messengers, but I have no choice but to take advantage of their fighting.’
Even if he was a team leader, he had no choice but to show his weaknesses during or immediately after a battle.
As the fierce battle continued, the number of warriors gradually decreased.
The angel’s body was mutilated and soaked in water, but he was still moving nimbly.
-Crunch!
At that moment, Ha Baek-heon ran in and swung something.
The angel’s left arm was cut off by an invisible attack, but his face showed no sign of pain.
On the contrary, when Ha Baek-heon came into view, a strange murderous aura appeared on his expressionless face.
-Keeeeeek!
The angel let out a scream and began to attack Ha Baek-heon.
He desperately tried to run away from the angel, but he could not escape the flapping wings of his pursuer.
Ha Baek-heon shouted at the messengers.
“Everyone stop!”
Following the order, the messengers threw themselves at the angel to try to stop him, but it was all in vain.
The angel swung his spear, cutting down and stabbing the messengers, and headed straight for Ha Baek-heon alone.
Before he knew it, the distance between them began to narrow, and Ha Baek-heon’s path was blocked.
Within arm’s reach.
The angel raised his spear and threw the javelin straight at Ha Baek-heon’s back.
And at that moment, Ha Baek-heon looked back.
“I barely caught it.”
-Ugh!
The flying spear and the angel were both frozen in midair.
The angel realized too late that the transparent thread was stretched out like a spider web.
The moment the angel tried to twist his arm away, numerous lines were drawn all over his body.
-Crack!
The threads connected to Ha Baek-heon’s two fingers slaughtered the angel’s body.
I saw my entire body disintegrate and break apart along the path of the thread.
The body of the god split in half and everything inside poured out.
It was letters made of black ink, not blood and entrails.
Ha Baek-heon sighed as he watched his thread turning black.
“How many are alive? How many are able to fight right now… … .”
At that moment, goosebumps appeared on the back of Ha Baek-heon’s neck.
The body was the first to notice that something was wrong and reacted.
He looked back at the dead angel with a surprised expression on his face.
A black liquid like blood poured onto the floor and began to spread in all directions.
A pattern of something was carved into the floor, as if black bugs were crawling quickly.
Ha Baek-heon’s face turned pale for a moment.
“Damn it, a trap… … !”
The floor turned black and in an instant the corpses were dragged underneath.
Some people tried to run away, but something black reached out and grabbed their limbs.
And the floor where Seo Kang-rim and Shin Soo-ah were also discolored in an instant.
-Kuung… … !
As soon as the ground beneath my feet gave out, the scenery around Seo Kang-rim changed in an instant.
Although there were numerous bookshelves surrounding this place, it was definitely different from the library we had just been in.
On the dark wall, white letters were crawling like insects.
He was left alone in the darkness.
Shin Soo-ah wasn’t next to me.
Seo Kang-rim urgently activated the wireless communication.
“[Ms. Shin Soo-ah, Ms. Shin Soo-ah!]”
I tried to call urgently through the unpaid phone, but there was no answer.
Is there a restriction on unpaid communication? Or is there a problem with Shin Soo-ah?
He desperately tried to use the unpaid phone service on someone else.
“[Ah, Seo Kang-rim! How is it there? It’s fun… … .]”
As soon as he got in touch with Dokgo Jun, he quickly cut off the communication.
If there is no problem with the unpaid communication, the answer is only one.
Something happened to Shin Soo Ah.
