385. Start after melting
“You don’t believe me? You’re weird. Gwangik.”
Your speech is even stranger, you little girl.
And even if you know the future, what? Enjoy the present? Give up already and hit GG?
He’s a reckless brat.
He’s a kid who gives up quickly.
The teachings I received from my childhood, the life I have lived up to now.
My father and mother, the people I met.
Above all, the man who saved me by turning his back on me.
Did any of them ever tell you how to give up?
no.
Moreover, my two private tutors left for their training while gritting their teeth to the point of telling me to go away.
Their purpose was the same.
Beating up multi-ability users.
They achieved their goal.
I felt proud when I found out.
Yes, I have to do this much, only then can I call myself a former private tutor.
What about Team Leader Lee Jung-bong?
Did the Blue Knight waste his time drinking because he was the target of revenge?
Then what about my older sister Jeong-ah, who was my shooter?
Was the promise to kill Prometheus just a bluff?
What about the regular schedule? What about the design?
Ki-nam’s brother, Jeong Ho-nam, also has similar goals.
Although I don’t like him that much, the same goes for Nam Myeong-jin, the president of the Immortal Special Forces Hwarim.
Everyone has a purpose and a will, and they burn their lives to walk that path.
Giving up before you even start?
There was no one like that around me.
But this girl was the complete opposite.
I suddenly remembered the days when I joined the Immortal Special Forces.
Director of Human Resources, Jangmo Lee.
I was the latte instructor at orientation.
I used to live with the words, ‘When I was young,’ always on my lips.
It seemed like I suddenly understood that feeling.
I started preaching. As an adult, this is normal.
“It’s a bad habit to give up before you even start.”
“It’s really strange, Gwangik. I didn’t give up, I just didn’t start.”
“That’s what I’m saying.”
“No, it’s different.”
“different?”
“I see the future, right? The future has already been decided, and no matter what I do, it won’t change. Don’t you get it? Gwangik?”
Yeah. I have no idea.
This is a bit annoying.
It’s such an obvious thing, but the expression on your face that asks why you don’t understand is especially annoying.
“Just because you haven’t changed the future you’ve seen doesn’t mean it won’t change.”
“No. It won’t change. Gwangik is an idiot.”
This is real.
“You’re the fool.”
“No. Gwangik is stupid. The future is fixed. Fixed. Not change. It won’t change.”
He shrugged his shoulders as he spoke, shook his head, and even added a mocking laugh.
My hand went out without me knowing.
He hit the girl on the forehead with a hammer.
“ouch!”
The prophet grabbed his forehead.
“Stop, you shouldn’t cause harm.”
“If you move, I will attack.”
“Unless you are determined to be a scapegoat and a swindler, I ask that you exercise self-restraint.”
“It is a request and a demand.”
No, I just hit a bald girl on the forehead with a chestnut, and this is a mess?
In an instant, a group of immortal escorts surrounded the two of us.
“She is the only prophet of the present age. She is an asset to the Old Force.”
It’s the last one. The immortal man who brought me to the exit said.
This person seems to be in charge.
That doesn’t mean you’re going to fight me, does it?
With that thought, I slightly raised my spirits.
It was an instinctive, reflexive action.
They say that the blood of a teenager who automatically rebels against coercion and pressure flows in my veins.
“Don’t do it. This is your final warning.”
“warning?”

I tried to raise my spirits even further with those words.
Are they really going to do this with me?
If you press the prophetess girl with this momentum, she’ll probably foam at the mouth and faint.
I put everyone around me into a category except for this one.
The wild life spreads out everywhere. An invisible, intangible pressure weighs down on everyone around me.
If I wanted to, I could kill them all and kidnap the prophet.
It’s not a question of whether or not you have the will to do it.
So I guess I’m a target of Old Force, Excursion, and the Association’s vigilance.
What do those three groups, no, now the four vested interest groups including the Magic League, think of me?
Sometimes, a weapon that can make everyone around it anxious just by existing.
That’s me.
“Want to give it a try?”
He sat there without lifting a finger.
But none of the surrounding immortals open their mouths carelessly.
Was my presence comparable to that of a mere prophet?
“Please, please, sir.”
He’s the man guarding the entrance.
He seemed like the type who had some thoughts.
I’m asking you to do me a favor.
Seeing the way he spoke with trembling lips, I wanted to give him points for sincerity.
Let’s loosen up, two immortals stand behind the prophet.
So, no matter how hard you try to block it, it’s useless?
Should we really make the picture they’re worried about come true?
I treated you with sincerity, but if you keep treating people like this, I’ll turn into a gangster.
“Stop it. My forehead hurts, but it’s okay.”
The prophet dissuaded them.
Then the Immortal Guard slowly started to distance themselves again.
You guys are lucky. Seriously.
The prophet rubbed his red, swollen forehead with his palm several times and then opened his mouth.
“Why are you hitting me?”
How cheeky.
“I don’t like the fact that you give up.”
“I told you, we haven’t even started.”
“Yeah. I hate the sight of things that haven’t even started.”
“Why should I start? It’s already been decided.”
“Who decided that? Who said your superpower was the right answer?”
Is there anyone who would ever say something like that?
There won’t be any.
“Well, experience?”
“experience?”
“Because everything I said was true.”
How very confident.
That experience isn’t something that was accumulated over fifty or sixty years in the special species world.
“So this is the first time I’ve appeared in the future you’ve seen?”
“Yeah, that’s right.”
“Then it will change now. You’ve never seen me before, right?”
The future changes because of my existence.
Couldn’t that be possible? Isn’t my past actions enough proof?
As if moved, the prophet opened his eyes wide and slowly moved his lips.
“… … Wow, this is the first time I’ve seen you say that with your own mouth.”
No, I think it’s a little embarrassing to react like that.
“You change the future?”
“… … That could be the case.”
“I will cheer you on.”
“Behind me?”
He says he has no intention of helping.
But that doesn’t mean I have any intention of kidnapping her.
Because the ability efficiency is just a mess.
I see two futures, but I can’t see the future I want.
There’s no guarantee that I’ll be able to see the scene I want at the right time.
Therefore, it can be said to be a bright apricot, a power similar to a gye-reuk.
To put it more simply, it is completely useless.
But if it’s a future you’ve already seen.
If what you just said is true.
There was one thing to dry.
It’s about finding out when that time is.
Can you figure out the time period just from the scene?
There was nothing to worry about.
You will be able to tell.
The fact that you came here to see me is proof of that.
Why in Korea at this time, and in Gangneung at that?
And as if she had been waiting, Umiho sent me here?
Yes, if it is a fixed future, this little girl even knows that time.
“So when will the destruction happen?”
“How, I don’t know. But I can guess sometimes. I’m smart.”
It’s not that I’m smart, it’s just that I seem to have a dozen screws loose.
“You can see what you see in the scene and match it.”
“So when?”
You can’t tell exactly when something happened just by looking at the scene.
But what he said was that guessing was possible.
Were you able to tell the season from that scene earlier?
It was only for a moment, but the image was vivid in my mind.
The clothes of the person aiming at the cat were thin.
Other things to know:
After recalling the image that remained in my head, I searched through it thoroughly.
It was a short moment, but it captured everything there was to see.
It’s not for nothing that I’m considered one of the most talented people in the country.
It was a cat, but there was a rotting corpse.
A sticky bead of sweat formed on the forehead of the man holding the gun.
So I could tell when it was.
‘summer.’
I reflexively turned my gaze outside.
What’s the weather like today?
It was so damn sunny.
The sun was hot, the air was heavy, and the humidity was high, making it sweltering.
The weather is such that even if you just sit still, you’ll start sweating and if you leave food out, it’ll rot in a few hours.
Isn’t it similar to the future I just saw?
“The future is fixed.”
“you.”
“That’s right. When is ‘now’?”
Speak with your mouth wide open.
You said it already, knowing that.
And now I know why you came here.
I’m pointing out a place with an ocean view and a beach.
Because that wasn’t the only scene of humanity’s destruction that this girl saw.
But you’ve never seen a place with an ocean or a beach.
Seeing the scene where I met you there might have also played a part.
This girl is a guide who walks along the future.
It was nothing more, nothing less.
“Start after it melts.”
The prophet speaks again.
There seemed to be a power in that voice, like a spirit.
What’s going to happen, will happen.
That’s what it seemed to say.
How long has it been since the melting phenomenon occurred?
It hasn’t even been a year, it’s been over six months.
The seasons have passed by so quickly, and summer has come.
For an immortal, this sticky, humid weather was the worst.
Especially for pureblood immortals who are sensitive to everything.
Double Peak didn’t like the weather.
But that doesn’t mean I abandoned what I had to do.
“What are the numbers?”
Black holes emit characteristic energy waves.
Some people call it mutant energy.
Others call it dimensional energy.
I didn’t know the name.
It’s just that there’s a problem with the melting phenomenon itself.
“It’s over ten thousand.”
The employee who was watching the reader said.
The rail gun muzzle was visible, hanging obliquely behind his shoulder, resting on his hip.
A staff member who is ready to sharpen his gun at any moment when needed.
Because NS’s training intensity is the best in the world.
Jungbong looked at the hall, his thoughts flying away.
‘The reader is the latest model.’
It’s not a mistake, because this isn’t the first time.
Similar things have already happened in many places.
The energy levels skyrocketed, whether it was a mutation, a dimension, or some shit.
‘What was the wave form energy value? Was it three thousand?’
The energy surge in the hole when the singular species popped out could be in the order of ten thousand for an instant.
The energy level when the named appears is slightly higher than this.
From ten thousand to twenty thousand.
‘If it’s a wave shape with high numbering, the energy value would be around five thousand?’
The double peak rolled its head.
So what does an average gate of over ten thousand units mean?
I don’t know. Black holes have always been something unknown.
There was also talk of exploring beyond White Hole.
In fact, the government, Excursion, the Association, and the Federation joined forces to form an exploration team.
It’s an interplanetary exploration project.
Already countless special species have gone missing beyond the other world.
Even those who survived didn’t get much out of it.
Because that world was that harsh and brutal.
When he was young, Lee Jung-bong had a similar experience.
Because of his performance, I once applied to join the exploration team.
‘That wasn’t a very pleasant experience.’
I was trapped in illusions and hallucinations for nearly twenty days.
When I came to my senses, I was in front of the returning gate.
Of all the people who came together, he was the only one who survived.
My last memory was of being caught in a storm and driving stakes into the ground to hold on.
After that, it was a hallucinatory party with ghosts from the past popping up.
After that incident, he developed a special ability that earned him the nickname Phantom.
‘The other world is dangerous.’
Because you never know what might pop up.
The ‘unknown’ can mean opportunity, but it also carries risk.
Double Peak knew that fact clearly.
“The numbers are rising.”
The clerk looked at the reader and said.
Beep beep beep.
Soon the reader beeped.
It was a signal that exploded when the number exceeded 50,000.
So, it’s a warning that there’s a high chance that a named person will appear.
With a brief warning, the central peak stepped back.
All the team members who came together were kicked out.
The employee holding the reader frowned and lowered his face guard.
“manager?”
I’m asking for instructions.
Jungbong wanted to keep an eye on things in a guarded position.
Something strange struck him about that feeling.
One of the team members was seen not stepping back, but rather moving forward towards the gate.
“Back off!”
Jungbong shouted without answering.
But the team members didn’t listen. They just took another step forward.
Jungbong made a quick decision and opened his mouth.
“No one should come forward. Everyone stay alert.”
Bugrrrrrr.
Just then, the area in front of the hall began to boil. Soon, a thick, black liquid poured out.
It’s a melting phenomenon.
Originally, this would have caused the hole to collapse and close.
This is a phenomenon that has happened countless times recently.
Beep beep beep!
The reader beeped louder.
“Team Leader, the numbers have exceeded this!”
Jungbong ignored him and approached the gate.
His immortal sixth sense warned him of the danger.
A clear hazard that can be detected even without a signal from the reader.
Soon a black hand appeared in front of the gate.
The hands were white and pale. The fingernails were long and red.
It was something that could only happen in a ghost story.
Well, from the moment the Earth’s black hole exploded, this world was a horror story itself.
Jungbong, who had been controlling his breathing, pulled out the sword on his waist and lowered it.
Just before his pale hand reached his teammate, he cut off his fingers.
months.
The finger was cut off.
It couldn’t be otherwise. What Jungbong was wielding just now was a miracle created by mankind.
Jiiiiiing.
Laser blades and lightsabers made their distinctive noises.
Blood spurted out from near the severed finger.
The blood was red, and the wounded hand went straight into the hole.
Only then did the team member who had been stupidly walking forward shake his head from side to side and look at Jungbong.
“Yes, yes!”
When I looked straight into his eyes and spoke, my teammate backed away in embarrassment.
The hole melts and closes.
Just before closing.
– you.
It seemed like Jungbong had heard that thought.
It’s so faint I can’t tell if it’s real or not.
His gut told him he had heard something.
