Regress and Eat

< Psychotic (4) >

I froze like a statue.

[Accessory's Eye] realizes that if it hadn't been for that voice, you would have lost your mind and been consumed by anger.

“ · · · · · ·! ”

My heart is racing.

This is a skill planted by someone unknown.

The kind that doesn't end up singularly, but has a lasting effect on the target.

Curse skill.

It is an unknown fact for generations to come. A descendant of the Celestial Dragon Guild was cursed?

The ‘whisper’ that tempted me was overwhelmed by [the eyes of the successor], now making strange noises instead of words of temptation.

‘Queek, queek! · · Queek, queek! ’

It sounds like a small beast in pain.

My head rushes back.

"Among the symptoms of Seo Jin-wook, there were anger and hallucinations! '

I can see that now. Seo Jin-wook did not have mental illness. He had been under this curse since he was very young.

Earth is not yet aware of the existence of cursing skills. People don't even know how to tell. If you can't see Mana like I can, you can't prove it.

Then no one will know that Seo Jinwook's mental illness is cursed except for the caster of that skill.

“I can't believe it. ”

I cut the silence and the voice of Seo Kyu-chul sank.

“But they don't make a scene like they used to. ”

Mana, who looks like a tangled vein, tries to climb into the brain several times since, but each time [successor's eye] is blocked.

‘· · · · · · · Eek! Queek! "

The Red Energy eventually stopped trying and went back to its original position and was deactivated after the same thing repeatedly happened.

Barely, I swallowed a sigh of relief in my heart and looked back at Seo Kyu-chul.

As soon as I made eye contact, he said.

“Park Chang-hee is an outstanding talent. Among level hunters of that age, I'm still young, so I'll be contributing to the guild for a long time. There's nothing wrong with having a good relationship. ”

I swallow what I just saw in my mouth.

Whose curse is it? Which lines are involved?

Nothing is certain yet. It is not too late to make a decision once you are fully aware of the situation around you.

I try my best to pretend to be calm while calming my running heart.

“I heard you were going to be disciplined for this. ”

“I don't know what you're expecting, but you're both going to end up on unpaid leave for a few days. If Park Chang-hee really responded in the first place, you wouldn't wake up again. Even with Mana, it wasn't a fatal attack. Apparently, you bought it because you used a substrate to control Mana output in that instant. ”

Seo Kyu-chul turned to talk.

“I was worried about Kim's assistant. He insisted that we do more workup, but in fact, while you were out of your mind, you finished all the crazy college hospital tests. ”

He said the private basement is equipped with hospital grade medical equipment.

It will be after a thorough examination of the heir's body in case there are any abnormalities.

“What do you think? You know how it is. I've done everything I could in my home. Do you want to be admitted? ”

I shook my head. It was still complicated in my head because of the fact I just found out.

“I don't think that's necessary. ”

There is no information on what medical symptoms the possession entails. If we run more tests than this and find clues that might be caught, we won't be able to do it.

“Yeah, I'm just going to spill the weirdness. It's difficult. Especially at this point, only a week before the Awakening. ”

Seo Kyu-chul seemed determined to quickly revive me as a hunter. He wants to block all the possibilities of sprinkling any ash on the Big Event.

He seemed to continue to speak, then shut up again and looked at me quietly.

I tilt my head.

“You seem strangely calm today. Be quiet.”

It's a curious expression, but the feelings inside are not bad.

I lowered my gaze slightly and listened to him quietly. I didn't want to reveal my feelings of agitation.

It seemed to make Seo Gyu-chul feel better.

In fact, in light of the memory of the past that just occurred, instead of writing and refuting every word that Seongjin uttered, the listening itself was closer to the wall of heaven and earth.

“Did you feel anything about today? ”

When talking to that type of person, it is better to choose what they want to hear than what they want to say.

I gave him an answer he might like.

“I was a little surprised to see that this was the first time my memory was entertaining. ”

One eyebrow rises from Seo Kyu-chul.

“I feel that if I keep going through these kinds of accidents today, something really big might happen, and I don't think I can live the rest of my life the way I live now. ”

Seeing Seo Kyu-chul nod his head, he connects his words.

“Like my father said, I was serious about how I could find a way to rule myself quickly in the future, and I was thinking for a moment. ”

He had a very light smile on his mouth.

It was shocking to hear that my son had a memory loss condition, but I didn't seem to worry about it.

Are you really satisfied that you are not showing as much violence as you used to?

“I will find the best way to do it together. And don't worry too much about memory. All the test results were normal, and in most of these cases the memory came back very soon. ”

You mutter a little louder.

“I suppose that's a good idea. Well, it's time to wake up. ”

Turn your eyes to the door as if you were told to back off.

“Go and rest. ”

Are you sure you want to make sense of this? instead of revealing my heart, I said hello quietly.

As I was about to retreat, I had an idea that passed through my mind.

I decided that I might be able to work now that I feel better because of my son's changed attitude.

So I asked Seo Gyu-cheol for a favor, and he said yes easily.

*

Kim was standing outside the door of the office waiting.

When I come out, I look at it with a strange look.

“Why?”

“I'm surprised I can't hear you breaking things or yelling or swearing. ”

“That didn't happen. ”

“You didn't hit each other? ”

“Never.”

I explained to him what conversations were going on and what was going on.

“So you want me to stay calm. Don't go around the hospital spreading rumors. ”

“I went someplace else instead of the hospital. Let's get ready to go out.”

“Yes?”

Kim's assistant argued as if it was some kind of crazy sound.

“Where are you going? The guy who wakes up unconscious and has no memory? You need to rest at home. ”

“I already have permission from Seogyu · · · · Father. ”

Kim's secretary? I tried to defend myself with my eyes, but I stopped him before he opened his mouth.

“I have to do some shopping. Dungeon items.”

“Item? You still have a week left of Awakening. Why? The guild will adjust the equipment after Awakening anyway. I don't need to shop. ”

“I need it personally. ”

I told Seo Kyu-chul in advance what equipment and items I had, and that I wanted to buy something interesting personally.

Then Seo Kyu-chul pretended not to care about it, asked if he suddenly changed his mind, and gladly allowed it, and prepared a budget that was more generous than I expected.

“Phew · · · I can't help it. Then I will contact the Guild's Hunter Store in advance. ”

“You don't have to. ”

I already know exactly where it is.

At this point, the Celestial Dragon Guild doesn't have the items I'm looking for. I'm sure.

“I'll give you the address. We're going to a different kind of store. ”

“I'd rather tell you about the item. I'll send someone to pick it up. ”

“No, I have to see it with my own eyes. ”

“What are you trying to buy? Oh, no. You have to go dark.”

I think while he's preparing to go out.

All right, let's wrap it up.

Unless it's a dream, an afterlife, or a near-death hallucination.

I am embedded in Seo Jin-wook's body that died decades ago with my memories and unique skills as Choi Seung-hyun.

Who did this to me?

'[Time Flip] and [possession] · · · I've never heard of this ability.'

Of course, no Earthling has ever heard of such a skill.

However, the situation is not pleasant to spend time doubting whether this is the case.

Instead of falling into that notion, I decided to act on the premise that my senses and perceptions are real and not false. And I focus on how I'm going to get through what's coming to me.

Now, we need to know that Seo Jin-wook is cursed.

Some of the dungeon items that have not yet been properly valued in this era, which would help my situation.

That's what I'm looking for.
