#Episode 115
“They’re all similar. The six paths of immortality, the six paths of reincarnation, Asura, heavenly beings, hungry ghosts. But why is Athena suddenly included?”
“… … I can’t know until then. Because I’m not ‘him.’”
“I see.”
Jin Shi-hoo stood up from his seat and looked back at Yang Hye-mi.
“Thank you for the good information.”
Actually, I didn’t know if it was good information or not, but since he said it like that, Yang Hye-mi could only nod.
“……yes.”
Jin Shi-hoo stood up from his seat, leaving Yang Hye-mi behind as she answered.
“Now this is really important. Depending on this question, you will either go to the blood factory or stay here and die comfortably. Do you understand?”
“… … I understand.”
“Okay. Where are Agui and Shiksu-gwi now?”
“… … The water source is in Japan.”
“Where in Japan?”
“I am currently staying long term under the name ‘Sakuma Shozan’ at the Grand Xive Resort in Naruto, a city in the northeastern part of Tokushima Prefecture, Japan.”
“Then what about the devil?”
“… … I don’t know the location of the elder either. Because you’ve been going crazy and running wild, I’ve only been contacting you through Watch without even meeting you.”
“Then ask the watch where he lives.”
“… … If I had succeeded, the elite zombies would have been released and run wild long ago, but the elite zombies are still here. They haven’t even been released. If I contact them, the elder will notice right away. Maybe he has already noticed.”
Then, the gaze of the evil spirit turned to Park Jeong-woo, who was behind Jin Shi-hoo.
Park Jeong-woo was sitting there doing nothing, but he could tell from the general situation.
Jin Shi-hoo walked up to Park Jeong-woo and looked down at him and asked.
“Do you happen to know Agui’s phone number?”
“… … I know.”
“Did you contact me?”
“I did it.”
“What did you say?”
“Mission to the quest failed.”
I ended up laughing.
I was really curious about this too. I just squatted down in my seat.
Substitute.
“Why did you do that? You saw that the situation was over.”
“… … My little brother is being held hostage. He is more precious than my life.”
“So there was no choice?”
Park Jeong-woo shook his head.
“Saying that there is nothing I can do is just an excuse. The circumstances just made it so. This is all I, a small human being, can do.”
Jin Shihou was no fool. The apostles were no fools either, so rather than approaching them with money or something like that, they chose to use threats.
It is almost impossible for the powerless to resist the threats of the apostles unless someone precious is at stake.
Park Jeong-woo raised his hand and grabbed his right chest.
Next.
Phew.
The mana flowing from Park Jeong-woo’s hand pierces his heart.
Jin Shi-hoo did nothing. Park Jeong-woo did this himself.
Then Park Jeong-woo falls backwards. Cough, blood gushes out from his mouth.
He said.
“… … If you check my watch history, you should be able to pinpoint the location. It hasn’t been long since we exchanged messages, so if you go now, you can catch him.”
“That’s true, but why did you commit suicide?”
“… … It’s hard. And my brother is innocent.”
I looked down at Park Jeong-woo blankly.
“He’s a guy who’ll die even if he stays still. Please be satisfied with just me. Please.”
Jin Shi-hoo, who had been silently looking down at Park Jeong-woo, nodded quietly.
A small smile appeared on Park Jeong-woo’s lips. Then, suddenly, his head dropped.
Park Jeong-woo died.
Jin Shi-hoo picked up the watch and asked Yoon Young-soo to check the transmission and reception records of Park Jeong-woo’s watch before turning his head away.
The evil spirit looks at Jin Shihou with his eyebrows furrowed.
Jin Shi-hoo let out a sigh and snapped his fingers.
Crunch-!
The head of the demon is blown off by a bullet made of extended mana.
Once you make a promise, keep it.
Jin Shihou was that kind of man.

5 minutes.
This is the time when Yoon Young-soo replied to my message.
In five minutes, Yoon Young-soo checked Park Jeong-woo’s watch history and found out who Park Jeong-woo had exchanged messages with and where they had exchanged messages.
Location.
-This is the Sahara Desert in Africa.
“What is it?”
-It’s difficult to even take off on a plane right now. How about waiting for the next time?

He shook his head.
What’s next? Why me.
If there is a clear record of messages exchanged between you and Park Jeong-woo, it means that there is someone related to the apostle there. Those who were completely hidden have now shown their tails.
I just can’t get past this.
You can just go up from this tail. Africa? It would take several hours by plane, but if I ran on my own feet, it wouldn’t even take 5 minutes.
“Can you tell me one more thing?”
-Please tell me anything.
“I heard that Park Jeong-woo’s younger sister is hospitalized at Severance Hospital. Where exactly is her location?”
-… … You’re not going to kill me… … .
“I won’t kill you. You said you were going to die anyway, so why should I kill you?”
-… … .
“So what’s the exact location?”
-I’ll look into it and send it to you by text right away.
“thank you.”
The call was then disconnected.
Do you think I’m some crazy psycho?
Personally, I was a little disappointed.
I turned my head. Yang Hye-mi of the Salvation Guild was standing up, not knowing what to do.
“Do you need to go to the bathroom?”
“I want to go a little… … Oh, no. It’s okay.”
“Don’t worry and have a good trip.”
Yang Hye-mi glanced at the dagger forming the center of the barrier with a face full of worry. She said with a smile.
“I spoke a little roughly earlier, but no one can pull out that dagger except me. So don’t worry.”
and.
“Call a few more people. Last time it was just a smokescreen, but this time I’m going to go somewhere for real.”
“… … Yes, take care on your way back.”
I ended up laughing.
Soon, my watch vibrates.
It was a message. Sent by Yoon Young-soo.
Park Sia, Park Jeong-woo’s younger sister.
Stage 4 pancreatic cancer.
I didn’t worry about anything.
I went to the address.
The distance from the Salvation Guild building to the hospital where Parksia was was very short.
10 minutes walk.
It was safe to say that it was right in front of our noses.
Arriving in front of the hospital, I let out a sigh.
From those who are injured here and there to those who are asking to be let in, there are so many people that even two and a half hundred coins wouldn’t be enough.
From what I’ve heard, they keep asking if I’m infected and asking me to get tested quickly.
As far as I know, there was a government announcement that if you are bitten and there is no change for 5 seconds, you are not infected.
Anyway, regardless of these people’s anxiety, all of the people here who are asking to be tested for infection right now are non-infected.
I poured my energy into the ring. A white mask appeared. I put it on my face and entered the hospital.
Inpatient ward 302.
As I entered, I saw a woman lying in a hospital bed.
Is it better to say that he is extremely sick, or is it better to say that he is certain to die soon?
There was a woman who just looked very unpleasant. She was in her early twenties.
His appearance was somewhat similar to Park Jeong-woo, who had been killed earlier. He was very handsome, and his younger brother was also a great beauty.
They said it was Ga-in Park Myeong.
He shook his head and walked towards the hospital bed.
Park Si-a, who had been looking outside, turns her head.
She asked me.
“who are you?”
“Well. Who could it be?”
“I don’t know.”
“Yeah, it would be weird if you knew. Even though you’re wearing a mask like this.”
“… … .”
“I’ve come to tell you two stories. One is good and one is bad. Which one do you want to hear first?”
“In movies, don’t you usually hear the bad things first?”
“Really? Then let’s start with the bad part. Your brother died a while ago.”
“……why?”
“Well, how should I explain it? At the time this cataclysm began, there were people who were summoned to a world called Titan. A total of 200 people.”
“… … .”
“Those 200 people clearly went to Titan, but strangely enough, they were still on Earth.”
“Is that possible?”
“It’s possible. Because the guys who sent the 200 people to another world took their place without anyone knowing. So there were a total of 200 doppelgangers on Earth. They want to be called apostles, so whatever makes sense is fine. So I just call them doppelgangers.”
“… … What does that have to do with my brother’s death?”
“You have a lot of questions. Your brother was threatened by one of those apostles. He seemed like a decent man, but he couldn’t bring himself to throw away his own brother’s life. They threatened you with your life, so you cooperated with the apostles, and just now, in front of me, you stabbed yourself in the heart and committed suicide.”
“… … Couldn’t you have saved him?”
To be honest.
“I could have saved him.”
“however…….”
“Why didn’t you save me?”
“yes.”
“Do I really have to save him?”
“……yes?”
“You should have suffered that much. And your brother wasn’t stupid. He probably knew that if he hadn’t died there, I would have killed him. And.”
And then this was important.
“This is such a perverted thought, but I like it that way.”
“……yes?”
“A man’s life-threatening request to confess his wrongdoings, ask for forgiveness, and end it with his own life. Not bad. That’s why I came here first, even though I have urgent matters to attend to. And now, good news is coming. Do you want to hear it?”
“… … I’ll listen.”
“But aren’t you sad that your brother died?”
“I’m sad.”
“But why aren’t you crying?”
“Do you have to cry to be sad?”
“That’s not it.”
“Even if I can’t do anything, I can do this.”
This is it. I could immediately tell what this meant. I reached out. At the same time, Parksia’s hand, which was covered by the blanket, moved to the side.
Kwaaaaang-!!
Mana fragments exploded in all directions. I looked down with strange eyes. My hand was holding onto Parksia’s wrist. Parksia’s wrist that I was holding was dyed blue all the way down to the bottom.
“That’s strange. Did you pour mana into it?”
“yes.”
“If you have such talent, why are you lying there?”
“Because it’s pancreatic cancer.”
“I see you’re an Awakened One. What’s your rank?”
“… … SS.”
I tilted my head for a moment. It’s interesting.
“Why is this the first time I’ve heard of this?”
“Because this is the ‘second’ time I’ve told someone.”
“The first one is your older brother?”
“yes.”
“The siblings were tight-lipped about each other.”
There’s nothing new about it. Being an SS-class Awakened person may be special and amazing to other people, but from my perspective, I’m no different from other people.
“… … Are you going to kill me now?”
It was so absurd that I laughed.
“What did you hear from me earlier? You’ve heard all the bad stuff, so now you need to hear the good stuff. You’ve heard all that nonsense.”
“… … Okay. I’ll give it a try.”
