Crow Dreams
“How do you feel? Does that fit you well? ”
I say, Crowe nods.
“Delicious, Jules. It's really good.”
I smiled satisfactorily.
“Glad to hear it.”
“This place is amazing. You can take as much food as you want. ”
He seems to have never had a buffet like this before. I told him.
“You can have as much as you want. Eat slowly."
He did as I told him, filling almost six dishes full of seven dishes, he got rid of them all. It's a great meal. The fun thing is that it's seafood at first, so it's sushi. It's canned beef. It's bulbous meat. It's pizza spaghetti. It's a variety of dishes. It's then reconstituted with seasoned chicken at the end. I watched it and said to him:
“Looks like you got a chicken in your mouth. ”
“Yes. This is... delicious. Sour and sweet.”
“Well, maybe next time we can do the dentist together. ”
“Chimac? What's that? ”
Knowing other people's secrets, not knowing these things.
“Beer for the chicken. ”
“Ah, I see. I should eat what Jules buys me. ”
Crowe said that and ate the Eating Chicken well. His secretary and long-standing staff eat pretty well, but Crowe seems to be in a completely different position. After a long meal, I broke up with him in front of the front door of the hotel.
“Thank you for eating today. So I'll leave you to it. ”
I nodded and said.
“Yes, Crowe."
Then, he tapped the envelope he was holding and said.
“Well done. ”
“Yes, Jules. I hope you find him next month. ”
Crowe bows his head as usual and greets me. However, the foam is slightly unsettled. However, since I ate it so much, the stomach will be a little uncomfortable, no matter how hard it is. I looked at it and laughed and tried to turn back. But then,
“Ah, Jules. ”
Crowe caught me.
“Yes?”
“The eye pads must be used in accordance with the instructions. ”
“Does he know?”
“Yes, it's in that envelope. We've also attached instructions for use, so be sure to use them with care. ”
I looked inside the envelope. There's an eye patch, just like he said.
“Oh... yes...”
I looked up. However, he had disappeared into thin air.

When I returned home, I took out all the contents of the envelope. Inside is a stack of A4, slightly thinner than last time. Slightly small, but the same report. This report looks like it was written by Crowe.
This is...
I then looked up at the black eye patch. I didn't know it was black, but now I see three black crow feathers on either side. Like a mask.
“Well...”
I think I'll have nightmares if I sleep in it. I had a brochure next to my eye patch that said "manual." I opened it.
Dream of blackfeather
Legendary Accessory
Passive Skill
Crow Dream (Ⅰ) - Shows what you want to see in time and space. Only triggers when you sleep for 7 hours.
If the reality is a dream, if the dream is real.
All we have left are stories.
I read it and said it in earnest.
“What?"
‘When using the device… be careful. ’
It is a strange manual for me that is familiar with the same instructions. I looked at it the other way with my eye patch. Except for the weird sounds.
‘It is only triggered when you sleep for 7 hours. ’
This is probably what Crowe said about how to use it. If you sleep with it, it'll show you what you want to see.
‘Very long, then. That means you need to get some sleep. ’
I circled the manual. Behind you.
‘Every dream is a one-time honey. ’
It says.
“I know that, man...”
I lay in bed with my eye patch and report, with the manual out of the way. Then I read a chapter of the report.
‘1. Report on Takjugi's death. ’
That's the point. I started reading it slowly.
*
I have read the full report
“Huh... Well...”
I put it next to my head, picked it up right back up, picked up the bed sheet, put it underneath. I think I should read it again tomorrow and burn it right away. This report is too risky. Just out of curiosity, I got Crowe to figure it out. I realized it was too dangerous.
“As expected... it wasn't suicide. ”
I looked out the window. Nine o'clock in the evening, Gangnam's buildings exude bright lights. My favorite night out. But even today, it looks scary. Someone fell off a building like that and died. But then,
Weeing.
The phone rings an alarm. I was a little surprised by the sound. I was nervous for a long time. I listened to my phone. There is a text from Ah-young.
How was your meeting? French wine that your father bought you. Do you want a drink today? ’
I looked at the text and thought, It's nice to have a romantic night, but you should get some sleep today. About seven hours. I answered her.
‘Sorry, I have something important to do today. I don't think I can do it. Tomorrow or... sand. Let's drink then. ’
I emphasized that it was‘ important stuff ’on purpose. Don't let her swarm. Luckily, it worked. Whether she grew up under her father, who was a businessman, she didn't interfere when I emphasized that it was‘ important. ’
"Yes, drink it when you have time."
After texting, I came straight to the living room, 50 squats. Buffet test 100 times. Perform 30 push-ups. I took a half-bath, warmed the milk, drank about half a cup, and lay on the bed. 10: 00 on the clock. I usually sleep around 11: 00 or 12: 00. I don't know if I'll be able to sleep, but I put on Crowe's goggles and tried to get some sleep.
But still, I can't sleep. Whether it's because of the shocking content I saw earlier, or because I ignore my normal sleep cycle and ask for sleep.
"Ha… should I count sheep? ’
It's been a long time since I tried to sleep forcefully. I wanted to. Instead of counting sheep, I thought of my brother. I used to fight with my brother a lot, but I never really fought hard when I was dying. I thought I was lying in bed.
"It's a scary world… Money…"
But when I thought about it, I felt the wind blowing. There was no wind coming in from somewhere. I can feel the wind blowing in front of my body.
What the hell?
The moment I thought, I realized that the wind wasn't blowing. I'm going through the air. Looking down at the black sky, there are glowing buildings. Seoul. And you see streams and bridges, and the lights that light it up.
‘Cheonggyecheon?’
The moment I thought. I sat somewhere. A small tree. You look around and see the garden unfolding. It is also a small garden that fits the size of a tree. And beyond that is the dark air. This is the garden on the roof of the building. I realized.
‘This is Su-yeon's rooftop. ’
And the fact that I'm dreaming. It looks like Crowe's eye patch is the right fit for use.
Lucid? You call this a waking dream? "
I thought about it and looked around. Instead of your body freezing, look around. There is a man in a suit on one side of the garden. A tall, well-balanced man. Despite his 40s, he has no military presence. I thought.
"More handsome than I've ever seen on the news. It's a little cold, though. ’
Immediately the rooftop door opened and two men came in. Takjungi and his assistant, Gunhan. The cloudy machine has a red face and approaches the man.
“Brother!”
The man called his brother turns to him. And then you say,
“Did you have to call me? It's Joong-gi.”
“I'm sorry. It was... it was too urgent. ”
I was a little surprised when I saw it. I think this is the first time I've ever seen turbulent machine say, "I'm sorry." The man nods.
“Well, I've heard stories. Well, I can't help it. From what I read in the article, I didn't want you to hit anything. I couldn't help it. I'll make you the best lawyer. Judges these days... it's hard to pick. Anyway, when I get to the hearing, I'll try to reconcile it for... 10 years. And you'll be out in about seven years. ”
“Seven years? Seven years? If I rot in jail for seven years, it's over! ”
In his words, the man shakes his head.
“It's not the end. Go and live abroad. Whether it's America or Europe, my father will do that for me. I know your little daddy wants to kill you... but he's gonna let you roll in the shit anyway. He's his son.”
Here the relationship between the two is revealed. You two are cousins. Takjungi kneels even to his cousin's brother.
“You can't do that. Please, brother. I'm asking you, you can do it. I can make it all go away! ”
The cousin shakes his head.
“I'm sorry, it's Joong-gi. I told you before. Prosecutors, journalists, we're all businessmen. I could get you one if I wanted, but wouldn't I be in too much debt to those merchants? ”
“I'll pay that debt. Somehow I survived...”
That said, his cousin smiles and says.
“You want to repay the debt? You already know you're in debt. I heard rumors about Myeong-dong. Su Yeon Group's people use bonds and don't pay. Do I have to listen to that? Fuck you?"
His cousin insulted him without changing his face. That's scarier.
“Suyeon Group already owes a lot of debt because of you. Here and there. That's because Little Mother covered you... If it weren't for Little Mother, you wouldn't have inherited this place. ”
When he says' here too, 'he shoe his foot over the garden. I think this is a trip to Suyeon.
“And yet, after taking care of you and giving you one, you're embarrassed by the name of the group, and you do this? No, that's what dogs do, because you were always a son of a bitch. What makes you say that? ”
Takjungi listens to the sound of a son of a bitch and reopens to him.
“Sorry... sorry brother. It's... it's... it's just that I've never been very good at it. To the strange one.”
“Weird guy? ”
That's when my name comes up. I swallowed a saliva and looked at it. I don't know if even crows swallow saliva.
“Yes, it's Han Sang-hoon. He's raising him as an investment firm. I don't know how the weak have any connections...”
