09 : The police in this world are determined to catch the culprit.

It was still questionable. Why does ‘Mina’ come and help me at this time?

No, Park Jung -hoon is a guy who does not have a separate child when he thinks about the original development.

But is he a guy who needs to be defeated in advance even by turning back time in the future?

I’d rather go back to when Sai was born and kill him, I’d understand. Why?

I thought. The development of the original story continues until Mina becomes a college student after the Great Chaos Incident, and ends with the death of Sai.

The ‘Mina’ in front of me should have already been defeated, at least on the assumption that it flowed through the development of the original story.

Is there any reason to come back to the past and do something? If so, the possibility that comes to mind is that I died in this incident and that Mina regretted it, is it me?

Seeing that there is no visible scar on Mina’s right arm, it means that my plan was a success-

Why did he ask for help from Yunari and not anyone else, and why is everything revealed like this now that the case is over?

Along with doubts, numerous movies on the theme of time travel pass by in my head, and I try to build a plausible hypothesis.

My brain’s limbs are smashed right now, if I don’t start with first aid

Before going to the emergency room, I was shouting that I would leave the job, so I stopped thinking and decided to start by ripping clothes nearby and giving first aid.

There – should I say fortunate? There were several tools for first aid in ‘Mina’s belt.

She took me to the car we had been in and sealed the holes in my arms and legs with gauze and bandages.

Aside from the pain, ‘Mina”s hand handling the bandage was very delicate. I stopped the bleeding in my leg with a bandage and fixed my shattered hand with a simple cast.

But they said they were doing it in a clean place and moved to a different location by car, so naturally a scene was created where only me and ‘Mina’ were left in the car.

The goblin and the other guys moved away, saying that they would go check if Yagi had escaped, as if they were conspiring.

Yunari grinning and waving her hand seemed to be doing that on purpose.

I don’t know what she knows or does, but she’s going to a cell with those assholes today.

Anyway, ‘Mina’ who treats me sitting in the car under such an awkward atmosphere.

I couldn’t find anything to say when I saw the child tie the bandage with a sad or happy face.

Did he accumulate enough things to come visit me in the future? Did I die that horrible?

When I first saw the grown ‘Mina’, I was confused because I didn’t know if it was a dream or what it was. When we met for the second time, I was surprised that he showed himself confidently.

When I saw it again after that, I had no time to think about ‘Mina’ because the situation was such a situation.

and present. My thoughts with Mina in front of me were not the question of why I came here or whether I knew that I knew her identity.

I just thought that I grew up really well.

“Detective, it’s just a story about someone I know. It’s out of the blue, but will you listen?”

“… … ?”

While I was thinking about whether I should keep ignoring it or how to react to my bland feelings, ‘Mina’ spoke to me.

As she wrapped a bandage around my leg, she continued talking slowly. I felt a strange force that didn’t allow me to say anything.

“Once upon a time, there was someone I knew well. He was an adult, and he was the coolest cop. When I was young, I did stupid things because I wanted to be acknowledged by him. Since I’m a child, there are only stupid things that I can’t pass up.”

‘Mina’ starts to open her mouth as if to announce who she is. Her eyes were shaking with longing as if swimming through memories.

The already lonely atmosphere of the ruins changes to a dark and sad one.

It was awkward that the atmosphere changed to this, but Mina looked so sad that I couldn’t even express my true intentions that I didn’t like this, so I kept my mouth shut and waited for what Mina would say.

“Is that why? The detective always fought alone. Without asking for help from a child with supernatural powers, he did what was just and right enough to be called a hero. He never compromised, saying it was what he had to do as an adult and as a police officer.”

Looking at that figure, Mina blurted out the end of her words, saying that she is a person that anyone can help but respect.

… … Who are you talking about? The righteous police.

There’s no way he would say such nonsense when he sees me suffering like a dog. I like compromise and I’m far from justice, so I’m the perfect opposite.

Could it be that this kid really only resembles New Hope? What ‘Mina’ said was strange enough to make me think.

Who are you talking about now? I don’t think I’m talking about myself, but I decided to listen to ‘Mina’ a bit more.

“Maybe that’s why, the detective didn’t tell me who he was fighting with. You saved me while you were fighting and enduring it alone. I couldn’t do anything because I was incompetent, but still until the end… … I.”

“Did you know everything? Detective knew everything, but pretended not to know for my sake… … I don’t even know that… … . I don’t even know that’s consideration for me, like an idiot… … .”

‘Mina’ started to cry while talking.

With her hands shaking, ‘Mina’ began to crouch down. I was sure when I saw it.

The ‘Mina’ in front of me is not the Mina I know. The me that ‘Mina’ knows is not ‘me’ either.

why isn’t there such a thing In the movie, you come to the past, but you go to a different past than the one you wanted.

Simply put, a parallel universe. It’s something that often comes out as a tragedy in time travel waters.

‘Mina’ came to the past with someone’s ability to save the cool policeman you just mentioned.

Unfortunately, I arrived at this parallel world. Perhaps the me of the parallel world that ‘Mina’ was looking for was a diligent, upright, and righteous police officer unlike me here.

It seems like he knows Mina’s true identity, but if Mina reacts like that, it’s clear that he really took good care of her.

Now that I realized the truth, I think I should explain this, but how should I explain this?

‘Mina’ was definitely my lifesaver. that was certain But ‘Mina’ who saved me wasn’t the person she was originally trying to save.

I couldn’t really say anything about the fact that I wasn’t the person I cried and missed so much.

I tried to sweep my cheek with my right arm, which I usually use as a habit from the pitiful and irony of this world, but I woke up from the terrible pain.

Really, all sorts of fucking things happen in this world, but I thought this was a bit too much, so I sighed and then made a promise.

Let’s make everything bad for now.

****

someone did Spilled water cannot be collected again. Mina lived a life repeating those words like a curse until she became an adult.

The past, no, the future at this time. New Hope has lost a loved one.

where did it go wrong One day, Mina herself suddenly seriously injured her arm and leg.

The terrible injury that suddenly appeared on the body, which was usually fine even if stabbed or hit by a car, was the same as the location where Detective Lee Moon-soo was injured.

At the time, rather than worrying deeply, Mina thought that this was a punishment from God for her incompetence, and that it was such a stupid idea.

During the previous Minus arrest operation, he was slow to move and injured his precious Detective Lee Moon-soo.

I missed the minus, and I didn’t even go to the detective because of that guilt. Mina accepted it as a child, saying that being hurt like this was a natural punishment for committing such a crime.

However, the cost of wasting time with such stupid thoughts came soon after.

Detective Lee Moon-soo has gone missing. The last detective whose whereabouts were confirmed at the Gil-dong Natural Ecological Park disappeared leaving behind a large amount of blood in the ruins reminiscent of a battlefield.

And the scar Mina suffered on the day the detective went missing is gone.

Mina from the past finally realized that this incident was not a mere coincidence. She desperately searched for Detective Lee Moon-soo.

This country is in chaos, society is in a state of hatred and confrontation, and people have become a hell where even family members cannot trust each other.

In the middle of such a hell, Mina accidentally injured herself while running to find the detective, and found out how the Chosen Ones got involved.

He destroyed all the chosen ones.

Among them, at the time, Park Jeong-hoon ordered the limb to kill the detective. The limbs were found as a body, and the detective reconfirmed the false information that only one gun was left and that it was unknown where it had gone.

However, Mina did not give up and continued the investigation. Suddenly, she found a notebook hidden in the house of the detective who was completely destroyed.

At first, I thought it was a notebook written about the events that had happened so far, but the events written in the notebook had many different parts from the actual events.

The more I looked at it, the more Mina couldn’t help but be astonished. It’s strange that there are things that are written about what will happen in the future- but it’s even written that you know that you’re a New Hope!

Mina realized that Detective Lee Moon-soo knew about her identity and felt sad for no reason.

Afterwards, I felt goosebumps rising all over my body as I saw the contents implying that someone had concocted all those incidents.

This notebook wasn’t something like reading the future with psychic powers or anything like that, but a note of a disgusting plan the detective found out while chasing someone.

It was truly terrifying to see all the incidents that Mina had experienced come together and become a line.

Mina informed her that Detective Lee Moon-soo was chasing this something alone, and that the reason Detective Lee went missing this time was because of that something.

It was hopeless, but in other words, the darkness meant that he knew where the detective was.

Mina ran after the ‘darkness’ written in her notebook to find the detective with hope.

Saira, disguised as the detective’s assistant shooter, fought nonstop for years against the monster bitch, struggled, and finally managed to knock her down-

Detective Lee Moon-soo could not be found.

The devil died without telling the detective where he was until the end. It didn’t even tell if he was alive or dead.

I regretted it every day. Mina ran with only a vengeance for the enemy who arrested the detective, but in the end, Mina was heartbroken because she couldn’t get anything.

How can I find the detective? Are you alive? If you are alive, where are you?

As I become an adult, the more time passes and the more I suffer, the more I realize how much the detective cared for me. That’s why I’m going to have a good time with regret and longing for the past that I can’t let go.

Even though Mina knew that nothing could be undone, she did nothing like a broken machine and even rotted away her soul-

“sister. With my ability, I can give you a chance to go to the past and save the detective.”

A girl I’ve known for a long time said.

After losing his brother in the case of the Chosen One like himself. Said Ai, a colleague who had fought together for revenge. For a moment, Mina doubted her ears.

The child’s abilities are reversed. The ability to return a person or object to the past based on a certain starting point. No matter how severely injured, you can bring your body back to the point before the injury.

Thanks to her ability, Mina was able to continue fighting, but she didn’t know that going to the past would be possible.

Why are you telling me that now? No, here- Why are you saying that, was the question.

That’s right, the child’s ability is obviously a very useful and powerful superpower, but the stronger the power, the more expensive it is.

The price of a girl’s power is that even if she reverses it with her ability, what happened will surely happen.

Even if you reverse the injury and treat it, the wound will reappear over time. Even if you restore a broken object, it will break again over time.

It’s like fate exists. The ability to say that the inevitable exists.

However, if there’s one thing I don’t understand about that power, it’s that when it returns to its original state, what state it returns to is random?

When an object that was completely broken returns to its original broken state, it may be in a more serious condition, leaving no shape at all. Conversely, it may come back slightly cracked.

So, even if he goes to the past and saves Detective Lee Moon-soo as suggested by the girl, Detective Lee may die again over time.

If you’re lucky, you might not die. Or die more terribly. If you think rationally, you are right in rejecting the girl’s offer.

However, Mina could not easily say that the girl did not need her. His longing and regrets piled up and became as deep as the sea, so he could not ignore the miracle of a chance to save the person he missed.

If you’re lucky enough to succeed, if only he could be by your side-

“- sister. I know you think you’ll see Detective again. But, I’m sorry. I can’t do things like change the past with my abilities. It’s like that in the movie. Because of the contradiction, even if you change the past, the present will not change.”

“Still, I’m saying this because I want to make sure my sister doesn’t have any regrets. Even if today doesn’t change anything, I thought you wouldn’t suffer as much as you do now… … So I told you.”

At the girl’s words, Mina felt that the hope that had been born again plunged into the deep valley of despair.

Her clever mind reminded her of the things about time travel she had seen in books and movies, and she was able to understand what the girl meant.

Even if she goes to the past with her girlish abilities and saves the detective, nothing about her present self will change. The detective will not be with you, and you will be left alone.

but. But that’s it.

Even if it doesn’t make any sense. Even if nothing can be changed. There are people you want to meet and save.

regret becomes longing Because longing makes people stupid. Especially if it is a feeling mixed with love.

Mina thought while looking at her colleague’s long gray hair and green eyes.

…..

….

.

Carrying a temporary miracle, he returned to the past.

late night. After examining the detective’s face under the shadowy night sky, Mina was fully prepared to meet the detective again.

Wearing sunglasses to hide his face, he followed the method to save the detective he had been thinking about without a day off for years.

Looking for a way to defeat Park Jung-hoon and the Chosen Ones. I also found a way to get rid of the detective’s injuries by rescuing his childhood colleague and then persuading him.

After that, I held back from wanting to see you, talk to you, and talk about what happened. Pretending it was a mistake, I clung to his arm and listened to his heartbeat.

he blushed The look was so lovely.

And, and, and… … .

I did a lot of different things. After finishing everything and seeing that the detective was still alive, Mina couldn’t remember what she had been doing since she came here.

My hand didn’t move. I am struggling to endure the feeling that the dam of emotions that I have endured has collapsed and burst out.

I missed you and missed you. I missed you so much. I hoped that he would appear in my dreams even for one day, but unfortunately, I did not see the detective even in my dreams.

However, such a detective is alive and in front of me. I have to move my hand to stop the bleeding, but I can’t move because my eyesight is blocked by tears.

pathetic.

Now the detective is safe. All that remains is to tell you what to be careful of when dealing with the devil and about dangerous enemies, but one emotion of joy cannot come out.

“Ha-ha-wait a minute. I know I look really weird. I know you look stupid, pathetic, stupid. Because I’m sick- I calm down right away… … Detective. Me, hehehe, me… … .”

have to say You have to tell him how to defeat that monster. You have to tell them exactly who the enemy is.

I have to do something to convince you to understand what I’m saying-

“I missed you so much… … .”

The first thing that jumped out of all the words was the word of longing that I missed you.

“I missed you every day… … I kept thinking of the detective, every single day… … So I’m sorry, thank you… … I didn’t even get a chance to be honest! I am… … .”

Don’t waste your time with stupid things like this. don’t know when i’ll go back

However, the detective gave a warm pat on the shoulder even though he was perplexed with his characteristic tired face.

I’ve thought about it for a long time, but he’s a very good person. How can you treat yourself so kindly?

He is already aware of how suspicious and strange his behavior must have seemed.

That’s why Mina acted to give the detective the impression that she was useful in solving the case of the Chosen Ones, even if it was suspicious, rather than making the detective believe that she came from the future.

Thanks to that, the detective didn’t push himself away until now- but now that he’s shown himself like this, the detective won’t believe himself. therefore… … Calm down and do what you have to do.

“I love you, detective. i love you. I kept loving you… … .”

Alas, my God. I couldn’t stand it. I couldn’t stand it.

I didn’t realize it when I was a little kid, and now the person to convey this feeling has disappeared and I spit out the feelings that were rotting inside.

When this happens, the plan goes awry. If the detective treats you like a crazy person and gets alerted, you won’t be able to hand over the most important thing.

I looked at Detective Lee Moon-soo. I was afraid of what kind of face the detective was making. He rubbed his cheek as if he didn’t know what to say, then let out a deep sigh.

“That’s not what you’re saying to me. Do you think you are someone other than me?”

At those words, Mina realized.

He knew his identity from the beginning.

He was always a smart and brilliant detective. Mina also gave a hint to infer her identity by mistakenly disguising herself.

It was because he seemed happy to recognize himself, and he recognized himself this way. It was simply a vague hope, but it really came true.

“It’s not something I would say from a saved position. The person you were trying to save… … is not me here? It’s like what it is, but should I say it’s a different person? There’s something like that in the movie- that- what, it’s similar but like a different person-.”

As if he knew he was New Hope, he spoke as if he already knew who he was from the start.

Mina laughed. He always knew and was the only ally who understood him.

However, as an adult, he was saying such a thoughtful refusal.

It always has been. He was a true adult who pretended not to know the name New Hope and worried about her while he supported her choice.

Mina looked at Detective Lee Moon-soo. He was the same as Lee Mun-soo’s face in her memory.

Worried about oneself hidden in dark eyes as if tired. It was the eyes of an adult watching over a child who lost a family member when he was young.

“Thank you anyway. I’m really sorry you didn’t achieve what you wanted. Still uh… … You grew up so pretty You have become a wonderful adult. Really great.”

At those words, Mina felt that something that had been building up and rotting inside her heart collapsed.

The person he wanted to see was right. He said he wasn’t the person Mina was looking for. It was clear that the man in front of her was the detective whom Mina remembered and longed for.

Afterwards, Mina rushed at him and clung to him, bursting into tears that she had been enduring until now. I couldn’t say what I wanted to say, and I just kept crying.

Certainly, if Mina returns to her original world, there will be no detective reunited here.

Your past will not change. However, it was clear that his coming here was meaningless.

A woman who grew up as a girl could rise again just by realizing that fact.

After she became an adult, she was a ‘hero’ in name and reality who did not give in to the adversity in front of her and saved people.
