Chapter 27
Episode 27
If it was a normal weekend in Yeouido, it would be full of children, but 63 Square was quiet.
“….”
After the monster attack, the observatory located on the upper floor was eerily quiet as it was an empty building that was not operated except by managers to manage the creatures in the aquarium.
“Even if you are a Revelator, you won’t be able to escape if you are in a position like this.”
Alec looked down at the city center and smiled bitterly.
-You turned your brain around quite a bit.
-The fact that the location of this building was designated means that the government is probably aware of our news.
-Maybe we can monitor the wiretap.
-I’ll have to disconnect when the time comes. Alec We’ll be waiting at the designated location.
He nodded slowly as Hanson and Johanna spoke through the in-ear earphones.
“Mr. Alek Traman?”
It was then.
He turned his head when he heard a voice coming from the entrance.
“My name is Kang Ho-jun.”
“Nice to meet you. You have a much better physique than I saw in the video. “I suddenly requested a change in location and time. Thank you for responding.”
“It was nothing.”
When Alec held out his hand, Kang Ho-jun ignored him and walked away. At his actions, Alec clenched his outstretched hand into a fist and turned his head.
‘what? ‘You probably don’t know my abilities.’
Another ability he had along with the Sun Tree, Moon Eye, was a skill that penetrated the abilities of the opponent holding his hand.
He used this ability to find Hanson and Johanna.
“….”
Alec looked at his hands for a moment and walked behind Kang Ho-jun.
“I was honestly surprised when I came to Korea. “Korea was able to stop the monsters with much less damage than the United States, which has a world-class defense capability, or the United Kingdom, which has a revealer like me.”
“That’s too much praise. “This was possible thanks to the quick action of the military and police and the cooperation of citizens.”
“Of course, I am not underestimating Korea’s defense capabilities. “I’m just praising your skills in hunting down monsters in Gwanghwamun.”
Alec spoke to him cautiously.
“Then I think you should talk to this person rather than me. “The weapons I use are also provided by this person.”
Hojun nodded.
When the elevator door opened and Myung-Hoon came in, Alec had a happy expression on his face.
“As expected…”
Alec held out his hand towards him, but he was confident now that Myung-Hoon also avoided shaking his hand.
‘It seems like you know my abilities.’
Even if they were the same Revelator, they still did not know which status had chosen them.
‘I guess I’ll have to give up using the moon eye.’
To some extent, this was expected. Alec had to admit that, having been chosen as a revealer, it was not easy to see.
“My name is Myung-Hoon Choi. “I am now discharged, but I was in the same unit as Captain Kang.”
“You were a soldier. “The way you move your body is somehow unusual… It’s really different from an ordinary actor like me.”
“no. Rather, if the famous actor Alec had not mentioned the existence of the Revelators on the air, the existence of the Revelators would not have surfaced.”
“Does that mean… you are also a Revelator?”
In response to Alec’s question, Myung-Hoon just smiled faintly.
“We can’t open everything yet. “It’s a situation where we don’t know if it’s friend or foe.”
“Haha, that’s right. “Doubt is an important virtue for a leader.”
“Thank you for your understanding. No, of course I thought you would understand. Catholic St. Mary’s Hospital and Noryangjin Station. “It’s hard to capture this place because it’s so high up, but you managed to find the best location.”
“….”
Alec’s face hardened at Myung-Hoon’s words.
The two places he mentioned were none other than the places where Hanson and Johanna were waiting.
“it’s okay. There is no need to move your seat. “I know where to move it.”
‘Know? ‘Could it be that he has precognitive abilities?’
Alec rolled his eyes, guessing the meaning behind his words.
“The world is under threat. A revelator would know. “The gates of hell will continue to open.”
Myung-Hoon nodded.
“We must join forces. National borders will soon collapse. If you have precognitive abilities, you might be able to see it. “Fighters, ships, and even tanks… the stage where modern firearms can stop them will soon end.”
Alec, like an actor, gave strength to his voice and led the mood.
“We must lead humanity. Only the Revelator can save the world. “I intend to create a union that transcends national boundaries.”
His eyes were serious.
‘…I’m serious.’
It was a ridiculous plan that some could say was just a fantasy, but if you had the power to carry it out, the situation would be different.
“well. To me, it seems like you just want to play hero rather than save humanity.”
“Haha, what do you mean….”
“What you want to do. A union that transcends nations. “It may sound good, but isn’t it ultimately driven by a deep ambition to rule the world?”
“Do you see that?”
“What if you see it?”
“As expected…”
Creepy –
At that moment, Myeong-Hoon felt like his whole body was covered in goosebumps.
“older brother!! Avoid it!!!”
Hojun shouted and pulled his back at the same time.
Paaah-!!!!
A sharp sword wind was felt in the silence, and at that moment, a sharp wound appeared on the back of Myung-Hoon’s neck
…!!
“Huh?!”
Red blood flowed down his neck, and Myeong-Hoon urgently grabbed the wound.
“This is why precognitive abilities are annoying.”
“You…”
“I knew there was a revelator who could see the future, but I never thought it was in Korea. To be honest, I was a little hoping… that among the remaining 7 people, it wasn’t just him with precognitive abilities.”
Alec said with a shrug.
“That ability is just an obstacle to me.”
“okay? What should I do? “It’s because he has powers you hate.”
At that moment, he looked at Myung-Hoon with cold eyes.
“What the heck…”
He
adjusted his sword and grabbed it.
“I have to kill him.”
Alec was confident. Precognitive ability was a power unrelated to combat. Even if he had stronger power than others due to his privilege as a revealer, there was no way he could beat himself with the Star Sea Sword.
Sigh.
But somehow, Myung-Hoon’s smile at his warning sent shivers down his spine.
“Brother, how are you trying to make these two fight?”
“There’s no need to put anything special on it. If Erica had used her precognitive powers today, she would have seen you and Alec meeting. “Your foresight isn’t perfect yet, so you won’t know what kind of conversation you’ll have.”
“So?”
“We are the first to reach out to her. “Alec is thinking of killing you.”
“Really… is that so?”
“don’t worry. That’s all we have to do. “Alec will take care of the rest.”
Myung-Hoon recalled the conversation he had with Namgung before coming here.
“No matter what happens, this guy will become the biggest force among the Eight Stars. But, as I said before, he is definitely not ready to become a hero.”
He could now clearly understand the meaning of Namgung’s words.
“The person that such a guy should be most wary of is the one who can predict his plans. “If you tell me about that ability, he will definitely try to get rid of you.”
Namgung said.
‘Then the person we need to obtain is Erica, who has the power to keep Alek Traman in check.’
Myung-Hoon was just astonished by Namgung’s plan that fit so well.
“Did you hear Erica? “It looks like Alec Traman is trying to kill you, just as we expected.”
Myung-Hoon spoke in a low voice. Without even realizing that something was wrong, Alec asked,
“…What?”
Kwahia Ah — !!!
He was pushed back with a dizzying shock from the heavy blow aimed at his side.
“Huh?!”
Despite blocking the attack, he collapsed to the floor and exhaled due to the pain that pierced his heart.
“What are you?”
Alec said, glaring at the large figure that suddenly jumped out of the darkness and attacked him.
“Nothing to know. “All you need to know is that you will die right here.”
“…what?”
Igor, a man reminiscent of a huge bear that put Kang Ho-jun’s size to shame, spoke in a deep, deep voice to Alec.
“…You fooled me. Choi Myung-hoon!!”
Alec shouted, glaring at him.
“Fool me? It was actually you who deceived me. “We already knew you were planning to kill the Revelator with precognitive abilities.”
“I guess you didn’t have the ability to foresee.”
“I never once said I had that ability? “I just said I knew what you were doing.”
“Damn you bastard…!!”
“The great actor has a foul mouth.”
Snapping –
Alec gritted his teeth at his words and tightened the hand holding the sword.
‘Damn… Then is Erica a revelator with precognitive abilities? who is she? Have we already joined hands with them? Then… who is this Choi Myung-hoon? Isn’t he really a revealer? Or… are you the Revelator and are deceiving me?’
Even in the midst of an imminent crisis, Alec’s mind was chaotic as if it was swirling.
* * *
“Indeed… Alec Traman. “He had other intentions.”
“In a way, it can be a natural desire for humans.”
“Are you like that too?”
“well. Because I know that power… becomes meaningless after a while.”
A woman wearing a pure white yutaka with her eyes covered with cloth looked at the noisy situation at 63 Square and spoke quietly.
“Of the eight phases, the Sun and Moon Observers provide the most benefits to the Revelator in the beginning. “It appears to be good for humanity, but in reality, it is just trying to maximize human desires.”
And next to her was Namgung.
“A spectator is really just an onlooker. “The reason the Aspects chose the Revelator was not to save the world, but simply to select the person who could best satisfy their interests.”
He picked up his teacup, took a sip of tea, looked at the building across from him, and said:
“I guess I should kill him.”
“well. “Would he really be dead in the future you saw?”
Namgung smiled strangely at Erica’s answer.
“He doesn’t die. Anyway, he has the Star Sea Sword.”
“Igor is not a man to be easily defeated. Besides, aren’t there Kang Ho-jun and Choi Myung-hoon?”
“All three have outstanding qualities. But Alec is stronger than all of us combined. “I don’t want to admit it, but he’s the strongest at the moment.”
Namgung shook his head.
“Well, if Igor falls, I will take care of him. “It doesn’t seem like a good idea for you to meet Alec.”
“You speak as if you know the outcome.”
Even though it was hidden by the cloth, Namgung felt that the eyes on him had become sharper.
“You are the returner my Aspect Mist Guide mentioned.”
Namgung looked at her at that question.
“Indeed…”
“He who selected me warned me. That there will be someone who surpasses wisdom. “Maybe you are more dangerous than Alek Traman.”
“Things like that happen, too.” The sound of the
teacup
being put down sounded like a signal.
“Can I trust you? “Maybe the person I need to eliminate is you rather than Alec.”
“If that were the case, there would have been only one person sitting here.”
Creepy –
Although his words were extremely arrogant, Erica felt more thrilled than repulsed by his words.
