95 – 095. Simultaneous Events (10)

In the middle of a messy self-made room.

Under the right hand of Ahn Soo-ho, where Talisman’s light was swirling blue, Stephanie, whose transformation had been released, was caught.

Stephanie is a B-class superhuman. His physical ability was superior to An Su-ho’s. If she puts her mind to it, it won’t be difficult for her to overcome An Su-ho’s suppression.

However.

“If you move, you die.”

Ahn Su-ho’s bloody voice hits her ears. At the same time, black smoke began to billow from the right hand that was pressing down on Stephanie’s neck.

If you move, you die.

There was not an inch of addition or subtraction in those words. Ahn Soo-ho did not hesitate to kill her Stephanie the moment she saw the slightest sign of defiance. Even if she didn’t kill her, she intended to blast her smoke with at least the force to kill her.

“… ….”

And Stephanie also clearly recognized Ahn Su-ho’s will.

“Ask again.”

How did things turn out this way?

“Where is the sky?”

Its beginning dates back six hours from now.

“Customers of Ansuho! The investigation into Kang Ha-neul is finally over!”

On the premises of the Green House. Mystery novel research club club room.

Illyana Faust exclaimed in a lively voice in the middle of the desolate and insolvent room, where not a single club member was visible, as always.

“It took quite a while.”

“There was a reason it took so long! Kang Haneul Haksaeng! So Mysterious! A very painful situation was captured!”

“Suspicious circumstances…… ?”

Could it be something related to the Dawning?

Ahn Suho thought so, but the reality was a little different.

“There is no birth record…… ?”

“No No! To be precise, birth records were created later! Judging from her traces, her birth scene in Kang Haneul Haksaeng took place when she was 4 years old! And in a very pitiful form!”

“What is a suspicious shape?”

“To put it mildly, the record is overwritten illegally? Overdraw? Added? I mean!”

Korea has a very well-established birth registration and resident registration system. Therefore, it can be said that in this country, there are very few cases in which birth registration is delayed, and even children aged four years old are registered late.

Even in the case of Kang Ha-neul, it wasn’t even a delay in reporting. When she was four years old, she manipulated her records as if she had already registered her national identity since birth.

“…… It’s definitely award-winning.”

“Yes! But other than that, very normal! It is itself! My father is a college professor! My mother is a high school science teacher! A very ordinary intelligent education family!”

A normal family. Aside from the things related to Kang Ha-neul’s birth, it’s an extremely ordinary and ubiquitous family.

Ahn Su-ho was troubled by Illyana’s words. What does Kang Ha-neul’s unclear birth mean?

‘The Dawning…… Is it related to?’

For example, like Ji Ye-won, she was raised in the Ryeo-ryeongdan and was sent to an ordinary family for adoption.

However, I thought the possibility of that would be low. If that was the case, Illyana would have found out during her investigation.

“…… If her birth records were fabricated, there’s a chance that she might not be her parents’ real daughter now that Kang Ha-neul is.”

“Yes! I was so stunned that I tried to look more closely, but I couldn’t find anything cute! Mother’s hospital admission record, birth record, insurance registration, parental leave record, and more! All the records are very well laid out! Just looking at the records, Kang Ha-neul is their real daughter!”

“But there were traces of fabrication in all of those records.”

“Exactly! Perfectly equipped records! But all traces of fabrication! It is very, very painful!”

“Aside from that, was there anything unusual about it?”

“What? Ah, Kang Haneul is doing live streaming and internet chatting on the Internet! Streamer name NovelSky007! Two days recently? I’m just taking a break for a while!”

“I already know that.”

She couldn’t help but be unaware of it even while she was directly intruding into the broadcast. As for Ahn Su-ho, I wondered if there were really other suspicious circumstances rather than the fact of Kang Ha-neul’s broadcast.

“Pu-hee.”

But Illyana’s interests seemed to lie elsewhere.

“Why is that?”

“Oh. Nothing! Just because it’s a little funny? That’s right!”

“It’s funny…… ?”

“Kang Ha-neul’s streamer name!”

“That Noble Sky…… You mean?”

“Holy… …. The level of Korean people’s English skills is very, very good……. I don’t think Suho An’s customer would do that…….”

“Yes?”

What are you talking about? When Suho Ahn asked, Illyana opened an English dictionary on her smartphone and said,

“Ansuho customer and Kang Ha-neul also read ‘Noble Sky’ when reading the name of the streamer! How strange!”

“What is strange?”

“Look at the spelling! It’s a Novel, not a Noble! The former is noble, noble! It means, and the latter is the very reasoning novel! In England, even a five-dollar kid is not mistaken!”

“Aha… ….”

When I asked what the problem was, it was a pronunciation problem.

Ansuho ignored Illyana’s words. That’s right, because she’s British, her Korean pronunciation of English might sound funny to her.

However.

“………… Uh?”

That moment.

A flash of fire passed through Ahn Su-ho’s mind.

“Illyana. What did you just say?”

“What? What do you mean?”

“Kang Ha-neul’s nickname. It’s definitely not Noble Sky…….”

“No. Novel! It says Novel, not Noble! If you pronounce it in Korean, it’s a no-bell!”

Not Noble, but Novel.

Not Noble, but Nobel.

Nobel.

Fiction.

Nobel Sky.

Fiction. Sky.

The sky of novels.

The river sky of the novel.

In the novel…… River sky.

“………… No way.”

Calm down.

It can’t be.

It’s a coincidence.

It’s a leap of logic.

I was overly sensitive.

Ahn Su-ho repeated himself countless times to think calmly, but each time he did so, the doubts in his mind gradually began to grow.

If. What if Kang Ha-neul is a possessor like himself?

The seed of that doubt eventually sprouted and began to spread numerous branches.

Kang Ha-neul’s personality has changed 180 degrees from the original work. But what if she is the possessor? What if she, like Ahn Soo-ho, is someone else who is just wearing the shell of Kang and Ha-neul? It’s only natural that her personality will change.

The same goes for many incidents that have taken place these days. Centered on Kang Ha-neul, various events happening around her. Attempted kidnapping. Double dungeon. And even this kidnapping case. All those incidents are incidents that did not even appear in the original work. But what if she is the possessor, and the Heavenly Demon of Pleasure, who created this world, arranged such an event to torment the possessor?

‘It makes enough sense. If so, Ryu Tae-Hyun…….’

Why does Kang Ha-neul know about Ryu Tae-hyeon and Talisman?

At first, Ahn Su-ho assumed that it would be because Kang Ha-neul was related to the dawn. But she wasn’t like that.

If Kang Ha-neul is a possessed chair.

Because it would be strange not to know about the origin of the main character and the main character’s abilities.

“……………… Under.”

There was no clear evidence.

All we have is circumstantial evidence.

However, An Su-ho instinctively sensed that this was the truth.

‘Come to think of it… ….’

When the lives of Kang Ha-neul and Ahn Su-ho first intersect.

When the quest for the river sky first came to mind, apparently the system message told him this.

A relationship with Kang Ha-neul will definitely help you in the future.

Ahn Su-ho thought that it would just mean that Kang Ha-neul was promoted to an important person. But in fact it wasn’t. The meaning of that short message was far more important than that.

Kang Ha-neul is a possessor like you.

Cherish your relationship with her because of her.

The system message that came to my mind that day was a message that Ramiel, the angel of rebellion, secretly woven to help Ahn Soo-ho. Of course, Ahn Su-ho did not know that fact. He did not know, but finally succeeded in inferring the intention.

“…… Illyana. Please summarize the results of your investigation and send them to me by e-mail.”

“Are you chewing already?”

“Yes. Looks like i have to go Something important has happened.”

That moment.

The raid on the knight’s tomb, which had just arrived the day after tomorrow, the quests suggested by the system, and nothing else mattered to An Su-ho anymore.

“You mean something important?”

“Yes. I want to meet someone I’ll just go.”

To confirm the single doubt that popped into your mind.

More than anything else, it was the most important and urgent issue for Ahn Su-ho today.

Leaving the club room, he immediately called Kang Ha-neul. He didn’t even check what time it was.

-Turrr. Pop.

-…… Hello?

“Heaven.”

– Suho oppa? I’m practicing right now, so I’ll come back later

“Tonight.”

Ahn Suho hurriedly said, interrupting Kang Ha-neul, who had strangely subsided.

“Can we meet tonight? It’s urgent.”

-Tonight? What the hell is going on…….

“This is not something to talk about over the phone. Really. Because it’s really important.”

-… ….

Hearing those words, Kang Ha-neul…… Stephanie, disguised as , is troubled.

I knew who the person on the other side of the phone was. Because we have already investigated Kang Ha-neul’s relationship with the people around him.

Ahn Soo-ho. A security guard belonging to the Special Countermeasures Division of the Guard who saved Kang Ha-neul not only during the kidnapping incident caused by Jin Soo-seong-chan, but also in the last double dungeon incident.

If you look at that point, you might think it’s just a benefactor relationship, but the relationship between Kang Ha-neul and Ahn Su-ho wasn’t that hard. Through the last investigation, Stephanie concluded that the relationship between Kang Ha-neul and Ahn Su-ho was almost like a love affair.

‘If possible, you should refrain from private meetings with acquaintances, but… ….’

In this case, not trying to meet may seem rather strange.

“…… Great. See you tonight Suho oppa.”

Result Stephanie accepted Ahn Su-ho’s request. Tonight. He said he would go to Ahn Su-ho’s room. Stephanie finished the call and focused on practice again.

‘By the way, what is urgent?’

Are you going to confess to Kang Ha-neul tonight?

A faint smile was drawn on Stephanie’s lips at such a foolish thought.

The real Kang Ha-neul doesn’t even know that he was kidnapped right away, and if Amon confesses to himself that he wants to go out with her, that would be pretty funny. When she thought that, she couldn’t stop laughing. It was an obvious laugh.

‘Yes. Anyway, I have to live as Kang Ha-neul for at least a week, so it wouldn’t be bad to have a toy to play with in the meantime.’

Stephanie didn’t feel threatened at all when Ahn was called.

She was confident in her own acting skills. That she would never get caught For her, who has played a lot of people so far, impersonating and deceiving others was as easy and natural as breathing.

That’s why Stephanie went to Ahn Su-ho’s house that night.

With a very light heart.

“…… Tell me where Kang Ha-neul is?”

But now.

Stephanie said she was regretting the poor judgment she had made just a few hours ago.

‘How on earth did he find out?’

Thought so, Stephanie immediately shook her head. There was no point in worrying about what had already happened. The important thing was how to overcome the current situation.

Stephanie looked up at Ansuho, who was sitting on top of her, holding her neck down.

Those eyes were burning with hot anger. Even Stephanie, who had been trained through numerous ‘work’ experiences, had no choice but to swallow dry saliva in front of that shapely look.

Stephanie has seen people with eyes like Ahn Su-ho.

They all lost something precious. Or they were those who were in danger of losing something precious.

Most people would cry and plead when faced with such a situation. Please take a look I’ll do anything, please don’t do that. She grabbed Stephanie by the crotch of her pants and begged to lick the instep of his foot.

But very occasionally, there are people who burn all their feelings about precious things by turning them into anger and murderous intent. Just like Ahn Soo-ho right in front of you.

“Do you think I will tell you that?”

“…… Say.”

“If you want me to tell you, why don’t you tell me about this first? It’s a little bit suffocating because I press it so hard.”

“Tell me.”

“If you want to get Kang Ha-neul back safely, you better do as I say.”

“Tell me!!”

And Stephanie knew how to deal with them.

When you put a person in front of a person who is angry, he should never listen to the person’s request straight away. The first thing he did was to turn down the request, twist the conversation, and shake his already uneasy mental state to cool his boiling anger. Even if you’re a lunatic who used to run into anger without hesitation, when your reason starts to come back to you, worries and concerns will precede you.

‘I’m trying to kill right now, but this guy can’t kill me anyway. I need my cooperation to find out Kang Ha-neul’s location.’

The situation was that Stephanie was overpowered by Suho Ahn, but Stephanie still held the initiative. That’s why Stephanie didn’t lose her composure even when she was hit by a mount position.

However.

“…… ?”

The next moment. Stephanie felt a strange strange feeling.

Ahn Suho is not looking at himself.

The direction of that gaze was directed toward him. However, her strangely out of focus was not just her, but her, as if she was looking into the void in front of her.

“…… Hey.”

At the moment when he felt puzzled by that gaze, Ahn Suho spoke in a low voice.

“All right. Just don’t tell me.”

“…… What?”

“You don’t have to tell me where Haneul is. I just found out.”

“Wait, what is that-“

-Kwook.

He released his hand from the nape of his neck and covered Stephanie’s face. Her thumb pressed against her eyelid.

“Hey. For a moment. What are you doing? Uh?”

– Hui oh oh oh.

Black smoke began to billow from her thumb. The jewel embedded in the talisman emits a fierce blue light.

“Wait a minute! Go, don’t you wonder where Kang Haneul is?! If I die, I’ll never find out?! Therefore-“

“That’s because I already found out. A textile factory warehouse in Howon-dong, Uijeongbu-si. Are you there?”

“That, how?!”

At those words, Ahn Soo-ho moved his gaze into the air again.

He gazed at the hologram map that floated in the corner of his field of vision, then spoke to Stephanie.

“You don’t have to know.”

-Two kwang!

The next moment, black smoke exploded from Ahn Su-ho’s hand.
