Childhood Friend of the Zenith - Chapter 202
< Episode 202 > I’ll be back. (1)
I’ll be back. (1)
Things went wrong.
I didn’t know that this elder would come. The elder, who met my eyes, looked me up and down
, then said to
me with extremely narrowed eyes .
“It’s a word between the three. They call it a jailbreak.”
“No, it looks like it could be. Is it really not?”
Why do you appear at this time?
No luck.
This elder looked at me quietly, then put down the basket he was holding and spoke to me
.
“If not, explain. so that I can understand.”
The look in his eyes says he won’t go beyond if you don’t tell me.
Elder Lee probably had the mind to examine the situation rather than punish him right away.
Of course, the situation was strange, so it was natural to misunderstand.
But it was really a little more than I thought.
It was after the orb emitted light at dawn.
‘The field of view has changed.’
It’s the first time you’ve ever felt a sense of alienation.
One eye seemed to be able to see properly, but the other was different.
‘What is this?’
it’s pitch dark
What am I looking at right now?
For a moment, I thought I was going blind in one eye.
Fortunately, as if that wasn’t the case, little by little I began to see something in the dark.
‘what? Iron bars?’
As if the light was reflecting little by little, I felt like it was illuminating the surroundings
.
What are you looking at right now?
I wanted to change the direction, but it didn’t seem like it was going to happen with my will.
Even if I looked at it, it didn’t move.
[Why is that?.]
“Can’t you see Noya?”
[What?]
Even Noya, who seems to share a certain amount of body and emotion.
It seemed that I couldn’t properly read the gaze I was seeing and the thoughts I felt there
.
‘Then what does this mean?’
Why did this suddenly happen ….
‘There is no need to worry.’
It must have been because of the beads he was holding in his hand.
It’s all obvious under the circumstances.
‘ .What are you doing?’
I had to figure out what it meant.
‘Does the marble disappear if I let go of it?’
I tried to release the marble from my hand to check it, but.
“.. !”
In an instant, something caught my eye.
Is it because your eyes are accustomed to the dark?
In the moonlight shining through the very small window, someone’s figure was faintly visible.
The familiar red uniform and long black hair.
A woman with a distinctive ferocious look and dark amber appearance.
‘Gu Hee-bi…?’
The woman was definitely Goo Hee-bi.
Goo Hee-bi can be seen walking around and looking around.
He touched the iron bars and stroked the walls.
Probably looking for something to escape from.
In the middle of that, it seems to be talking to somewhere.
Unfortunately, no sound was heard.
It seemed that it could only be seen, but not heard.
‘ .Why is this visible?’
Aside from the fact that her vision has changed, the only thing she sees is Goo Hee-bi.
Not to mention Goo Hee-bi’s point of view, but
the third person’s point of view.
If this isn’t an illusion.
‘…Where is it? I need to know the location.’
Embarrassment aside, I focused on what I had to do first.
Fortunately, Gu Hui-bi’s body does not seem to have any problems.
It does not appear that they were violently dragged or tortured.
I check it, focus my eyes, and try to get information about the surroundings.
‘The field of vision is dark and narrow, so I can’t see.’
What we can tell is that Goo Hee-bi’s appearance is faintly visible.
It’s just a prison.
It’s not easy.
‘Is it the Black Night Palace?’
Even though the palace lord took them, the possibility that the place was not the Dark Night Palace could
not be ruled out either.
I wanted to find out even a little more.
I want to see you from a little farther away than now….
Just when I was thinking about that, I felt a sharp pain in the eyes I was looking at, so I instinctively
covered my eyes with my hands.
I had to close my eyes as much as I felt the pain.
Curiously, the visible field of vision did not disappear.
Surprisingly, it wasn’t just that.
‘Are you getting farther away?’
The field of vision he was looking at was only slightly illuminating Goo Hee-bi and her surroundings.
It was because the narrow field of view was showing the surrounding situation little by little.
He got further and further away from Goo Hee-bi.
Gradually, you begin to see your surroundings through your eyes.
Huge buildings and fog that covered them all around them.
It is difficult to see due to the fog, but it seems to be in the middle of the forest.
‘.. Fog-covered forest.’
By the time I was putting the characteristics into my memory one by one.
With a tingling sensation in his eyes, his vision returned to normal.
As the pain I felt disappears, I vomit with a growl.
I couldn’t leave a dirty mark in the narrow prison, so I forced myself to swallow it.
“…Uwook….”
[Why are you like this all of a sudden…?]
“Wait… please stop talking to me for a second.”
Noya’s words echoed directly in his voice, so it was a bit dangerous now.
“.. Fog and Forest.”
Even while covering my mouth, I had to work hard in my head.
Even though I wondered what was so special about the foggy forest.
It was important that it was such a densely covered area.
Above all, if Gu Hui-bi has already arrived in a certain area.
‘I have to calculate the distance from the front line.’
When I recalled that the transit period was not that long.
There was one army that came to mind as a specific area.
‘Wudong Mountains.’
It is a huge mountain range that is covered with fog all year round.
In the distant past, there was a monster that protruded from the gate of the demonic world of the white grade.
The fog that covered the vast forests of the Mudong Mountains is the traces left by the monster after it died.
If it’s not a hallucination when you look at it.
Apparently, Gu Hee-bi was in the Mudong Mountains.
If this is true, the first thing to do is to hand over the information
…
As soon as I tried to call someone, I felt a shock in my body and staggered.
I hurriedly held on to the wall and tried to hold on.
Soon after, he collapsed and lost consciousness.
“…Is it happening now?”
“yes.”
I nodded my head at the elder Lee’s question.
As for why he lost consciousness, it was probably because the recoil felt in his body
was not over due to the use of blood.
I wonder if it wasn’t that I couldn’t stand the recoil that piled up on top of it.
It was past noon when it happened and woke up like that.
After hearing my explanation, Elder Lee’s expression was unusual.
I explained roughly what had happened before, but it seemed that I did not understand it well.
“Yangcheon-ah.”
“yes ?”
“What does that have to do with your escape?”
” .ah.”
You didn’t tell me that’s the most important thing.
I had to clarify the most important part first.
“It is not a jailbreak.”
“Getting out of prison is usually called jailbreak. You damn grandson.”
“No…”
This was really unfair.
As soon as I came to my senses, I got up and
staggered as if I hadn’t come to my senses yet.
Who knew that the door to the prison that he had been holding on to would be opened arbitrarily?
“Did you say the door was open?”
“Surprisingly, it was.”
After hearing the words, Elder Lee inspects the door behind him.
In fact, there were no signs of forcibly opening the door or breaking anything
.
“If I really meant to bounce, I wouldn’t have jumped so stupidly.”
“Then you’re smart enough to get hurt by accident?”
“”
I couldn’t think of anything else to say.
“ .The door was open.”
Elder Lee, who was deep in thought, bit his teeth as if he had remembered something
.
“I see… like these senile old people.”
“Elder Lee?”
“No… there are more important things now. Say what I said earlier.
I mean, I could see the place where there were joys and sorrows.”
Elder Lee urged me on as if in urgency, so I took out the marble from my lucky bag and
showed it to Elder Lee.
“Do you know what this is?”
“.. This.”
Upon seeing the red marble, Elder Lee’s eyes widen slightly.
“Didn’t the Heaven’s Bead turn? Why did you do this…”
“The Heaven’s Bead…?”
It was the first name I heard.
First of all, at least the elder Lee recognized it and, judging from the fact that he knew the name,
he could tell that it was not something that the peddler was selling.
“My sister gave it to me. Carry it with you.”
“Is this a joy?”
Only then did Elder Lee realize something, and he put on a look of regret.
“This is the reason why I entered Vigo through Gazoo, saying there was something I wanted
.”
“note…? Did you say remarks just now?”
“Didn’t Heebi tell you?”
Could he have told me? I’m hearing it for the first time now.
It was said that
if Gu Hee-bi really brought this out from Gu Family’s remarks, it would at least be of a noble class .
‘You bought something like that from a merchant…? This crazy person…!’
Even so, I am living with precious things on my body without knowing it.
It means that there was one more without my knowledge.
At this point, my body was at the level of a walking treasure trove.
“.. This effect is what I guessed right?”
“Yes, what you saw was not an illusion, but the power of the marble.”
The power to see others far away.
I couldn’t hear it, but I could only see it, but it was an absolutely ridiculous effect.
‘Then seeing Goo Hee-bi means.’
On the other hand, does it mean that Ku Hee-bi also has the same beads as this one?
“I knew it, but the joy is really strong for you.”
Elder Lee smiled dejectedly as he spoke, and I nodded my head in sympathy
.
“That’s right. You gave me something like this to annoy people.”
“hmm?
“It sounds like a scary person.”
Elder Lee put on a subtle expression as if something had gone wrong in the conversation.
He quickly erased his expression.
“Hana is really fortunate. Thanks to that, I can find out where the joys and sorrows are
.”
” .yes.”
“Did you say Mudong Mountains? I need to quickly send a letter to the family head.”
I caught this elder who was about to move on hastily.
“.. Please take this.”
It was to hand over the Celestial Orb to Elder Lee. Because
I didn’t want to have a shady orb that could tell what the other person was doing
.
More than anything.
It was better to send it to my father to help in the search.
but. Seeing this, Elder Lee shook his head and said.
“The condition for the orb to activate is to smear your own blood on the orb.”
“ah…!” If Elder Lee’s words were true, it must
have been that the power of the marble was activated
because he touched it with a wounded hand yesterday .
But the elder’s words that followed were more shocking than that.
“Once a bead injected with blood cannot be used by another person until the owner dies
.”
“.. What did you say? What kind of crap stuff do you have?”
It’s not enough to look at the opponent, it’s an object that clings to you like an obsession.
It was like a thing made up of all the world’s worrisome things.
“If it sounds like a lie, would you try dying once?”
“”
At Elder Lee’s words, he quietly put the marble back into his pocket.
“So, take it with you calmly. If you wish, you can put it back in the bingo, but
Amane’s personality won’t allow it.”
It was a straight line.
“.. First of all, since we can’t talk more, the old lady has to go.”
“Yes, I understand.”

…..
As long as he found out where Goo Hee-bi was, Elder Lee’s steps were urgent.
I looked at this elder and slipped back into the prison and
closed the door with my own hand.
I want to know how pitiful this is, but I had to do this right now.
I’m in jail and I’m closing the door.
Elder Lee, who was hurriedly walking down the aisle, suddenly stopped and looked this way
.
Then this elder calls me in a serious voice.
“Yangcheon-ah.”
At this, I met eyes with Elder Lee.
With a face like what’s going on
“The old lady has a favor for you.”
“Tell me.”
“Don’t go.”
“…”
My eyes widened at Elder Lee’s words.
Because it’s something I didn’t expect at all.
No matter what my expression is, Elder Lee continues to talk.
“It’s not something you should go to.”
“…What do you mean by that? Where am I going?”
“So, don’t go.”
“Elder Lee. What are you saying right now…”
“Answer me.”
Elder Lee cuts off his words resolutely. Even the urgency I had felt until just now
was felt in
his eyes, saying that he would not go unless he answered .
Seeing that, I finally sighed and opened my mouth to Elder Lee.
“.. All right.”
“thanks.”
Perhaps satisfied with my answer, Elder Lee headed for his home with quick steps again.
On the floor, only a basket of food that Elder Lee had brought was left.
“ ”
Food that has already cooled down.
It was the food that Elder Lee brought to eat with me.
“.. Why is the distance so far? What do you mean, open the door and go out and bring it to eat
?”
This is the scene where you can feel how urgent this elder was.
It made me laugh out loud without even realizing it.
My head was full of other thoughts.
What this elder said to me now.
It wasn’t even the Beads of Heaven that Goo Hee-bi gave away ironically.
-Your brother must be very happy.
It was the face of a woman who once looked at me and talked to me in my previous life.
Even if you shed tears, the last greeting you give me with a smile is
I still wonder why she did that to me.
Now, with what emotions and feelings did she say those words to me?
Because I knew even vaguely.
“sorry.”
I had no choice but to apologize.
It was because it seemed that he would not be able to fulfill the request of Elder Lee.
The night has come.
I wasn’t sure how long it was exactly.
I could see that the sun had completely set.
I sat still and opened my closed eyes.
I straightened up.
[Did you intend to go after all?]
This is Noya’s question.
I nodded while fiddling with the marble in my bosom.
“yes.”
The beads did not inform me of Gu Hee-bi’s situation again.
The color of the beads, which were originally red.
Seeing as it was somewhat cloudy,
it seemed that it would take some time to use it again.
In fact, the color was gradually returning to its original state.
[It’s dangerous.]
“I know.”
If that place is the main palace where the Lord of the Dark Night is located.
It would be a more dangerous situation than anything I had ever seen.
I’m thinking of crawling into such a place on my own.
Contrary to the words that I will safely see the future.
Paradoxically , he would go into danger himself .
My face was so funny that I couldn’t help but laugh.
“Because I have regrets for the rest of my life.”
profit.
The prison door opened casually. It looked like it was still unlocked.
In the first place, no one came to check as much as this Sangha-ri.
Is it because it’s for show?
Or do you have other intentions?
It was something I didn’t know yet.
“I think I vaguely know which one will be more regretful.”
If you put the weight of regret.
I felt like I could tell even the smallest difference that I couldn’t see with my eyes
.
[…]
Noya doesn’t say anything about my words.
Does not affirming or denying mean that you respect me?
Although Noya didn’t speak properly.
I thought for sure.
The closer I got to the exit to the basement, the wider I felt.
‘One of the entrances.’
Are you just one person?
No matter how much you do it in shifts.
It’s so unstable that I wonder if I’m going to manage it.
This was enough to hope for my jailbreak.
By the time they came out, the guard of the Kuga family who was guarding the entrance ahead of them fainted with a light gesture
.
Since the bet was not sealed in the first place, the imprisonment itself was also a futile act.
“…How long has it been since you came home?”
I think I said the same thing when I went to Hanam.
Maybe at this point the world won’t let me go.
Otherwise, it would have been difficult for the incident to occur without a break.
I had no intention of breaking out .
I never thought I would break out of prison.
For some reason, when I came back, it seemed that troublesome things would come.
‘My father will take care of me in moderation.’
I’m not sure, I just feel like I don’t know.
If you’re going to scold me, scold me. Rather than that, my chaengpan will be more frightening.
[When did you grow up?]
Ignoring Noya’s quiet words.
It took off in a direction with little sign.
As much as Sega’s power is currently empty.
At my current level, it was easy to go out unnoticed.
‘…The kids are the problem.’
I’m still worried about you If he disappeared without saying anything like this
, it was obvious that
when he returned, he would be ridiculously unnoticed .
In particular, as much as Namgoongbia kept telling me that it would be nice if she spoke to me.
Getting caught this time was really dangerous.
‘I really don’t know if I’ll pull out the knife.’
Namgungbia was more frightening that way than Dang Soyeol or Wi Seolah.
It was more so because I was in the position to see firsthand how people were cut when they were cut in a previous life.
He bit his lip and moved quickly.
But it wasn’t a peaceful situation to go find the kids and say hello
.
‘I’ll be able to send a letter later.’
I don’t know if I can send even that, but that’s all.
I put my energy around my body and repeat the leap of a few steps, and before I know it, I can see three walls.
Without hesitation, I climbed over the wall and landed on the ground.
Fortunately, when you want to escape the three families well.
I had the illusion that something golden had passed in front of my eyes.
For a moment, I looked around because I wanted to see if I was wrong.
I couldn’t find anything out of the ordinary.
The only place outside the three streets is the total darkness.
I was greeted only by the trees covered with night and the little sounds of grass insects
.
‘Is it an illusion?’
Even the fireflies must have passed .
There was no sign of being caught around, so I thought it was just that.
I’m trying to fix my direction and take a leap again.
“young master.”
I heard a familiar voice and immediately turned my body in the direction of the sound.
It was a voice that shouldn’t be heard here.
“…you…?”
At that place.
“…Why are you here?”
The poor girl was squatting in a tree and looking at me with her swollen eyes.
