MEMORIZE

Chapter 25 The City of Traps.=========================================================================

“Of course I disagree. If you compare the forest and here, you get the answer right away. I don’t want to give up my life on your uncertain prediction. I don’t think you have to take the same risks as you did yesterday when you left the city.”

I was wondering if it would happen, but it wasn’ Lee Yu-jung voted against it, with one vote for it and one against it. It was a bit dry in my mouth, but I decided to just watch the results.

Lee Yu-jung’s next turn was Kim Han-byul. At least if Kim Han-byul voted in favor, he could stare at hope, which naturally drew attention. She stared at my face and opened her mouth in her usual still voice.

“I don’t really want to leave either. But I don’t think I have any ill intentions as a result of my own judgment. In fact, you’ve always made good decisions. I don’t think there’s enough evidence to prove what you’re saying, but I think there’s a function as evidence. I can’t choose between yes and no. So I’ll give up.”

Kim Han-byul chose to give up. In a way, it was the easiest choice. Lee Yu-jung already seemed convinced that we would stay. His face was smiling. I decided to be prepared for an unexpected result. Even if a boss monster appears, it’s enough to beat him. It’s a problem to hold it without getting caught.

The remaining people were Anhyun and Ansol. Ahn looked at her younger brother for a moment and talked to her while stroking her head.

“Sol.”

“Huh?”

“What do you want to do?”

Ahn’s words instantly made Ahn Sol look worried. Folding and blooming fingers seemed to count the votes that have been made so far. Then, I met eyes for a moment, and I was very surprised and turned my eyes away as soon as my face broke out. And as I saw him glancing sideways at me, I wondered if he was sick.

“Of course Sol is against it, right?” It’s safe and comfortable here. If you go outside, scary monsters come to you!”

Before I knew it, Lee Yu-jung was treating Ansol like a complete child. Ahn Sol must have felt that, too, but when Lee Yu-jung scared her with an exaggerated face, her cheeks were puffy and her mouth was pouting and she shook her head gently. Once again, she glanced at me and opened her mouth with caution.

“I… I agree with Su-hyun.”

Oh my god.

“Sure! Of course I agree! Huh? What? You agree?

Lee Yu-jung nodded with an excited face, and as soon as she heard Chansung’s words, her expression changed and rushed as if she was going to eat her. Ansol quickly hid in Anhyun’s arms. Ahn Hyun-do and Kim Han-byeol must have been surprised, but they were all looking at her with their eyes wide open. Ansol seemed to feel uncomfortable, but his mouth started to chew for a while before he started speaking slowly.

“Yes, I agree.”

“Why! Why on earth!”

“Hing….”

Ahn Hyun, who defeated Lee Yu-jung, who was chewing with the face of a brutal attack, asked why in soft words, soothing the frightened Ansol.

“Sol, I’ll tell everyone why I’m in favor.”

“Yes, it is.Just because. I just have a hunch. Because…”

As soon as I heard the word “prediment,” Ahn Hyun’s face changed dramatically. It was a short moment, but I could see for sure. What the hell is wrong with you?

“Hey! That’s not all you have to do with foreboding.”.”

“Be quiet!”

Looking at Ahn Hyun, who suddenly raised her voice, Lee Yu-jung quickly closed her mouth. Ahn Hyun’s face was not usually serious. He was frowning and looking at Ansol with a serious face. Ansol nodded and raised his slender fingers to point at me, as if he didn’t feel his gaze.

“It used to feel a little vague…”I was sleeping today, and Soohyun came out in my dream.”

“Everyone, please be quiet for a moment. Sol, keep talking until the end.”

“We were all sleeping in this room when a big monster appeared. A monster like an alien. The monster came to the building where we were…I’ve put everyone in danger. I thought they were all dead, but I think I saw them dead for sure. But suddenly, my dream changed.”

“How have you changed?”

“As if I’m winding a spring, my dream went back to the beginning and suddenly Soohyun came out. And the monster appeared, but this time it was different. Suhyun’s brother told us all to run away because he would stop this monster. I was suddenly worried about him getting out of the city in his arms, so my dream ended the moment I looked back was over.”

“Don’t you remember anything else?”

“A terrible scream at the end? Scream? Anyway, I think I heard something…I don’t know.”

We were all listening to her story breathtakingly. And for the first time since I returned to the past, I looked at her with a sincere look. No matter how much I didn’t know about the field, I didn’t understand it honestly.

Her ability figures are 75 points for horsepower and 100 points for luck. 96 points, my magic point, is not just that’s not the point. It’s one of the best wizards to enter the Hallplane right away. Even if I pray for the power of my third eye, I am only allowed to see the past for a second, but she vaguely wished for the power of her dreams to see the past and the future.

Of course there was a stark difference between me and Ansol. I can actually see what happened in the past and express my power at the moment I want to. But she wasn’t sure if it was caused by interference or actually happened, and it seemed to be expressed randomly. Perhaps it fits quite well thanks to the extreme luck points.

Anyway, one of my early questions seemed to be solved. It was clear why they could not be seen during the first user period. It was clear that they gathered for some reason and came to the city. And I felt like I had been beaten by the boss monster for more than two days. Perhaps Ansol is the only survivor of the city then.

“Sigh…”

Anhyun’s deep sigh was heard in the front. After the conversation, Ansol was looking around with anxious eyes. Ahn Hyun clashed his fingers on the floor of the living room, lost in thought, and soon opened his mouth to everyone with a disturbed face.

“I agree with Su-hyun.”

“What about you? You said you didn’t want to go out.Are you taking her side?”

Lee Yu-jung immediately tackled him with a face that she didn’t want to kick. Ahn looked sorry and saw Lee Yu-jung for a moment and immediately opened her mouth.

“I’m not siding with you. It may be a little funny, but….”

Ahn Hyun, who slightly lowered his head, continued, pointing to Ahn Sol in his arms.

“I’ve lived with Sol for over 19 years. And a lot of things happened. I felt it every time, but he has a very good sense of humor.”

Of course. You can predict the future if you get a hunch or a cheollian with 100 points of luck. Of course, the rank has to support us to a certain extent. While thinking inside, Lee Yu-jung frowned and said lamentably.

“His sense, his sense, his sense. I’m sick of it.”

“It’s not a lie, it’s for sure. In fact, if Sol feels anxious, something bad must have happened. It’s rare to hear a story in a dream, but…Anyway, I’ll decide to leave with three votes in favor, one against, and one abstention. I hope everyone follows the conclusion as promised in the first place. Everyone, get up. Let’s act right away.”

“Are you leaving right now?”

“Since Sol had such a dream, it’s easier to leave as soon as possible. Let’s take care of what we need. Just in case, please keep an eye out for us.”

“Okay, I’ll be like that. Call me when you’re done.”

I smiled with satisfaction at Ahn Hyun’s different appearance from yesterday. After I mounted the crossbow on my left arm, I got up shaking my seat.

*

It’s subtle, but Ahn Hyun has definitely changed. He seemed strangely active this morning, including going on a patrol alone. Of course, it was too much to completely change my inner feelings with a few words I shared yesterday. But at least he changed his outward attitude, so he seemed to be trying to do as much as he could. Of course, it was a positive change, so I hummed and looked around.

As Ahn Hyun said, it was best to leave now to leave. It was one of the things to avoid when you start in the afternoon and wander around at night. It would be much better to leave in the morning and find a place to rest around the afternoon. I think he’s trying to take as much as he can because he’s busy downstairs.

As I breathed in the still cold air, I felt my head refreshed. Perhaps if there were children like Park Dong-gul, Lee Bo-rim, and Lee Shin-woo, they would have stayed, but things went quite well. This is why it is convenient for high-quality users to gather. A moment of silence for Park Dong-gul and his party.

He came back alive inside and outside the forest, which is considered physically the most difficult of the rite of passage, and also defeated trap points with psychological traps. Now, if you’re only careful about boss monsters and other survivors who are likely to emerge as random odds, it’s easier to get to the central gate. I’m sure other monsters that appear….

“Hey….”

I heard someone calling me as I was about to think of another monster appearing as I went to the center. Looking back at the popularity, Kim Han-byul was standing. A small bag on my back seemed almost ready.

“Yes. Are you all set?”

“I’m done. Others are still doing it.”

“I see. Then I’ll have to watch a little more.”

“…Can I talk to you for a moment?”

I was puzzled when she asked me to talk suddenly, but I answered with a nod.

“As much as you want.”

She slowly approached me with a slightly self-conscious face. I wondered what she would say. Kim Han-byul looked at me for a while, unlike her, and then opened her mouth with a cautious voice.

“Did you hear anything from Yoojung or Anhyun?”

“Did Hanbyul and Yoojung fight?”

“And…Anything else.”

I shook my head because I didn’t hear anything about Kim Han-byeol in particular.

“I see. Actually….”

Her story that followed was no big deal. When Lee Yu-jung asked to go out, all she did was oppose it. To be honest, when I said that the last person who bought it should live, there was a bit of a bitter smile, but I knew it wasn’t her real intention, so I could gently move on. I thought it would be better to be the only one who is narrow-minded and just accept it. It wasn’t something I was angry about because it was unusual at Hall Plain anyway.

“…I’m sorry. I was just so angry at the time. How unpleasant it must have been to put yourself in a different position….”

It’s the first time I’ve seen her voice always silent and depressed. I think I still have a long way to go with Lee Yu-jung, but it was a little hard for me to touch. I opened my mouth looking at her with a slight smile.

“No, I’m not offended. I think you did a good job.”

“…….”

“I’m telling you, you’ve decided the situation with a cool-headed decision. If I had left, as Hanbyeol said, I would have been 100 percent beaten by Yoojung and Hyun. I don’t think it’s much of an apology.”

“Still….”

“I was a little worried because Yoojung is so hot-tempered, but I’m glad Hanbyul is here. Please do the same thing next time. I think that would be better.”

“…Thank you.”

When we finished talking, we made eye contact. And I could see her smiling face for the first time again. It was only a moment’s laugh, but she was definitely beautiful.

Suddenly… ‘She’ of Hallplane crossed my mind.
