◈ Episode 279 New Method (4)
[Put me in the keyhole.]
Kim Joo-hyuk opened his mouth with a slightly bewildered expression when he heard Bingshingeom’s voice right after Hyeonta cursed.
“… … “Put you in the keyhole?”
[huh.]
“That’s the end?”
[Could I lie?]
Kim Joo-hyuk looked blank for a moment at Bingsingeom’s words, but then nodded as if he understood and put Bingsingeom into the lock.
That moment.
Sweet!
When Kim Joo-hyuk saw that the lock, which had not been cut even when he hit it with all his might, opened very easily, he made an expression of bewilderment.
[Look, am I right?]
Bingsingeom opens his mouth with a bit of confidence.
“How did you do it?”
When Kim Joo-hyuk asked, Bingshingeom immediately began explaining the lock on the box.
“… … Stuck lock?”
[Yes, I’ve heard you say that before. The ability, as I said earlier, is that the moment the lock is locked, the time of the object in contact with the lock stops.]
“So my attack didn’t work?”
[that’s right. There’s no way physical force can work when time is frozen, right? … … Well, I don’t know if it was you before.]
Hearing Bingshingeom’s words, Kim Joo-hyuk lifted the lock that had fallen on the floor with a curious expression.
“So if I lock it in this state, time will stop because I’m touching the lock?”
[That’s not right. In any case, the only thing a lock reacts to is an inanimate object, and if you lock it, the lock will just lock again with time frozen, right?]
“Hmm… … .”
Kim Joo-hyuk, who was looking at the lock with a strange expression at Bingshingeom’s words, asked another question.
“So how did you solve this?”
[The part where time stops is only on the outside, and there is a sealing spell on the inside where the key is inserted.]
“So you dismantled the lock using your abilities instead of the key?”
[If it was an ordinary lock, I would have just cut it off, but since the key to this lock is the true formula that can unlock the seal, I was able to unlock it.]
He nodded to the story of Bingshingeom and first put the lock in his arms and then opened the box.
I’m sorry.
A box that opens with a screeching sound as if it hasn’t been opened for a long time.
And the moment I looked inside.
“… … and.”
Kim Joo-hyuk was impressed and confident at the same time without realizing it.
What is inside this box is the lotus of reincarnation.
However, he did not express admiration because he found the lotus of reincarnation.
The reason for his admiration was the lotus flower itself of reincarnation.
“… … “Isn’t it really pretty?”
The lotus flower of reincarnation was so beautiful that even Kim Joo-hyuk, who could not appreciate any particularly artistic aspects, admired it.
Even though it is in an old box, the pink lotus flower has a clear color as if it had been applied with a camera filter.
Kim Joo-hyuk stared at it blankly for a while, but soon came to his senses and reached out to take the lotus flower in the box.
And, the moment the lotus flower touches his hand.
“!”
Kim Joo-hyuk I was able to see again the scenery I saw last time.
‘This place… … .’
What Kim Joo-hyuk was looking at was the universe.
The place where he met the god who gave him the name Kalki.
At the same time, Kim Joo-hyuk realized that this moment was a dream and thought about meeting God again.
“nice to meet.”
What did Kim Joo-hyuk meet this time?
“?”
It was himself.
A person who is different only in the clothes they are wearing.
Kim Joo-hyuk looked puzzled for a moment, but soon realized that this was not a process of recovering memories, so he frowned and tried to pull out his sword.
chin.
“!”
He, who was obviously greeting me from a distance, quickly came forward and blocked Kim Joo-hyuk, who was trying to pull out a knife, and spoke.
“I can’t take any questions because it’s urgent, so let’s talk about this first.”
“!”
“Aren’t you curious why you can’t get your memories back even though you got your name back?”
“what-”
“If you’re curious, get the flowering ability quickly, and then you’ll be able to find out.”
“sleep-”
“Then this is the end of what I have to say.”
The man, who ignored all of Kim Joo-hyuk’s questions and said what he had to say, ignored Kim Joo-hyuk’s words until the end.
The moment when Kim Joo-hyuk was about to scream.
Paaaaat!
“… … .”

Kim Joo-hyuk was back in his original world again.
He looked blank for a moment and touched the lotus of reincarnation again, but Kim Joo-hyuk did not encounter his past self again.
“What is this again… … .”
Kim Joo-hyuk muttered with a strange expression and left the dwarves’ seal, taking the lotus of reincarnation with him.
####
Afterwards, Kim Joo-hyuk, who flew home with the help of Zhong Li-quan, immediately told his guide and Zhong Li-quan about what he had experienced earlier.
“… … “That happened?”
“Do you have any guesses?”
Kim Joo-hyuk’s question.
The guide frowned slightly and tilted his head, but then shook his head and spoke.
“… … “There is none.”
“Me too.”
“Hmm… … .”
As Kim Joo-hyuk was lost in thought for a moment, the guide told him an additional story.
“If something like that happened because you came into contact with objects that were related to you in the past, you could think of it as a remnant of the past you left behind, but no matter how much you think about it, there is no connection between you and this lotus of reincarnation.”
“You’re saying it’s not a place where I can leave any remnants?”
“yes. In the first place, you started moving after the god disappeared, so if the dwarf has been taking care of this since then… … “You never had to see this.”
“hmm… … .”
“Besides, you said it definitely wasn’t a memory from the past?”
Kim Joo-hyuk nodded at the guide’s words.
“I’m sure of that, because he definitely told me that. “Let’s quickly find the ability to bloom and talk.”
At Kim Joo-hyuk’s words, the guide and Jong Li-kwon looked even more puzzled and worried, but after looking at them for a while, he said that it was enough.
“Let’s skip this story for now. After all, won’t you find out about this story once you gain the ability to bloom?”
“… … Well, if you listen to the contents, it is true.”
After hearing what the guide said, he immediately changed the subject and spoke while looking at the lotus flower of reincarnation placed on the desk.
“More than that, this is what you asked me to bring, right?”
“that’s right. “This is definitely the lotus of reincarnation.”
“Then what should I do from now on?”
“From now on, I have to choose. “We were already talking about it.”
The guide said that and began to explain to Kim Joo-hyuk what he and Zhong Li-kwon had been talking about earlier.
Soon Kim Joo-hyuk heard the whole explanation.
“In other words, right now, there are at most two incarnations that can be destroyed using the Lotus of Reincarnation, right? If you do well, you could become one.”
“yes.”
“Then wouldn’t it be right to take down the two strongest guys?”
The guide spoke about Kim Joo-hyuk’s opinion as if it were valid.
“You’re right. In any case, from our perspective, we need to reduce our power as much as possible, so it makes sense to destroy the strong ones.”
“Then there’s no need to worry, right?”
“No, there is.”
“… … ?”
Seeing Kim Joo-hyuk’s questioning expression, the guide began to talk about additional matters he was discussing with Jong Ri-kwon.
Kim Joo-hyuk, who soon heard the whole story, finally answered with understanding.
“… … To sum it up, first of all, there is no need to destroy those who attacked us so far or who I personally took down, right?”
“Of course, that doesn’t mean they are weak, but to be strictly speaking, those incarnations are not only not the best in terms of military power, but most of the groups have already been dealt with.”
“So now the options have been narrowed down to four, but even if you don’t know one, the other three have their own reasons to deal with each other, so it’s hard to make an easy choice, right?”
The guide nodded and immediately continued the story.
“The three incarnations we have to worry about are Kurma, Narasimha, and Ramachandra, respectively.”
“In the case of Narasimha, this guy has overwhelming force and the ability to kill anything. “If he is attacked by other incarnations, or if he is mistakenly attacked by this incarnation, it will be impossible for him to fight again.”
“It is the same with Ramachandra. Like Narasimha, this guy also has the strongest military power in the Avatar, and in addition, the number of legions he leads is enormous. “To the extent that we can’t compare it with other groups.”
“Actually, looking at this point, it would be most convenient in the future fight to destroy these two. “But there is a problem because of Kurma.”
When Kim Joo-hyuk nodded at the guide’s words as if asking her to continue talking, she opened her mouth.
“Kurma is actually not that strong. Additionally, there are no groups. In some ways, he is also the easiest incarnation. But the problem is that he can bestow the trait of ‘immortality’ on others.”
“… … “You can grant immortality to others?”
The guide nodded in response to Kim Joo-hyuk’s question.
“Of course, he can only bestow immortality on two or three people at a time.”
“… … “If that guy joins forces with another incarnation, it could cause a lot of trouble?”
“that’s right. In their past lives, they all played separately, although they eventually joined forces. But in the current situation… … .”
Kim Joo-hyuk nodded as if he understood everything the guide said.
“It’s definitely a pain in the ass.”
One is ignorantly strong.
One of them is a little weaker than that ignorantly strong guy, but he has overwhelming power.
The last one has neither force nor group, but has the ability to grant immortality.
‘Obviously, it’s hard to choose.’
If we eliminated the two strong guys first, that might not have been a bad choice.
In any case, from Kim Joo-hyuk’s perspective, it is better to reduce the number of strong players.
However, what if you reduce two strong men like that, but you can’t kill them because they give immortality to the other incarnations?
“… … “If I were to express my thoughts carefully, I think it would be better to catch the two strong men first. Anyway, I was waiting for the one who can grant immortality. Why not just seal it again?”
“What if the other person notices this and comes to rescue him? If Gurma starts to come over there and protect me, it’s going to be a pain in the ass. Besides, sealing the Avatar is not an easy task.”
“Hmm… … . “That is certainly true.”
Even as Kim Joo-hyuk was worrying, Jong Li-kwon and Giljab were discussing their thoughts and reaching an agreement, but as expected, no significant conclusion was reached.
But how much time has passed?
“I decided.”
Kim Joo-hyuk, who had remained silent for a while, opened his mouth.
When the gazes of Zhong Liquan and the guide came together.
“Of course, when fighting, it’s convenient to have a buffer first.”
Kim Joo-hyuk said that and smiled.
