Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder Beauty And Masked Beast Chapter 78 - Lenient On Me

"I thought you said you know many things about me. How can you not know something as important as what I am?" 

Lee Soohyun could notice the derision in Han Minhyun's tone as he said those words. Since she had to get the answers from him, she knew that she couldn't show any unpleasant behaviour to him.

"I know many things about you, not everything," Soohyun pointed out, "And my source told me to get the answers from you."

"Yah! You have actually told him that I exist! Lee Soohyun, there was a reason why I have not informed you about his ident.i.ty and that's because—"

Minnie became silent. Nonetheless, Soohyun had an inkling on what those words could be. The nervousness, anger, and fear in Minnie's voice did not go unnoticed by Lee Soohyun.

'Because you don't want Han Minhyun to know about you?'

Before Minnie could reply, Han Minhyun said, "Your source?"

Lee Soohyun, although she was somewhat scared, reminded, "One question at a time."

"I'm a human as well," Minhyun answered.

"What is Seo Jihyun then?" Soohyun asked.

"Remember, one question at a time," Minhyun parroted back at her.

Lee Soohyun wanted to let out a frustrated groan at that moment after listening to Han Minhyun. Minnie had mentioned to her on how two of them were not human, and although Minnie was at times unreliable, Soohyun somewhat believed in her words.

"You're lying. You have supernatural powers, and humans don't have them," Soohyun said.

"Let me ask another question then. How did you a.s.sume that I have supernatural powers and not know what I am? On that night, I displayed nothing of that sort," Han Minhyun spoke out.

He then questioned, "Was it that source of yours?"

Minhyun's stare pressurised Lee Soohyun tremendously, and it was difficult for Soohyun to keep calm.

"Lee Soohyun, You Stupid Host! You're going to kill both of us today! Ah! Did you have to reveal yourself like that!? Don't you know that you have to be more careful around Han Minhyun?!" Minnie exclaimed— her voice showing how much she was panicking and scared she was.

'Interesting, Minnie. You really seem to be scared of Han Minhyun. It seems like I have finally found your weakness.'

If it was not for the current tense situation, Lee Soohyun would smiled due to how happy she was to have finally found Minnie's weakness.

'If you're scared of Minhyun finding out about you, does that mean he actually knows you? Are you going to be silent again? Does that mean he actually knows about you?'

"What are you so absorbed in? Trying to find another excuse?" Han Minhyun questioned.

'Since I'll be dying, Minnie, I'll be taking you with me.'

Lee Soohyun shook her head and said, "Nothing like that."

"No, no, stop! Don't do anything like that," Minnie spoke out, "Just say him that you guessed it after seeing Jihyun teleport."

"I a.s.sumed it after I saw Jihyun teleport in the room. Since he seemed to have supernatural powers, I kind of thought you did as well," Lee Soohyun voiced out whilst keeping a straight face.

It was not entirely a lie. Lee Soohyun truly a.s.sumed that before Minnie confirmed her suspicion. Since Minnie seemed to be afraid of Han Minhyun and wanted to remain as a secret from him, Lee Soohyun wanted to use that to her advantage.

"Really?" Han Minhyun asked.

"Of course, that's the case. After I have fainted, did you see me contacting someone?"

Hearing Lee Soohyun's words, Han Minhyun went silent. Nonetheless, Soohyun did not understand what that silence implied and whether or not it meant anything good for her.

"It's my turn then," Soohyun said.

Han Minhyun nodded.

"Why does Seo Jihyun have supernatural powers?" Soohyun asked after careful consideration.

"Because he inherited it from his parents," Minhyun answered.

Lee Soohyun wanted to cry out in frustration. At this rate, she was not going to get any answers. Although Minhyun's answers were not wrong, this was not the type of answers Soohyun needed. 

Watching Minhyun's amused eyes, Soohyun wanted to curse out loud at him. Nonetheless, she restrained herself from doing so. After all, she was the one in his favour this time around.

"Can't you be more detailed with your answers?" Soohyun asked— her tone showing how irked she felt at that moment.

"One question at a time," Minhyun spoke out.

"Fine, just ask me," Soohyun said. Since the man in front of her wasn't an ordinary one, she couldn't exactly yell at him. What if he completely stopped answering her question? After all, this was better than nothing.

"How did you possess Moon Jiwoo's body?" Minhyun questioned.

Soohyun sighed.

"I was run over by a truck in my real life and woke up in this body," Soohyun answered, "I have no idea why or how it happened since my source is quite unreliable."

'Minnie, now tell me how I should word out the next question to him, and if you dare run away this time around, I'll tell him about you,' Soohyun threatened.

"I wasn't planning to. Tell him to explain to you the history of humans. This should work," Minnie said.

"What is the history of humans? I want to know that," Soohyun spoke out.

"History of humans?" Minhyun questioned.

"Since you don't have an earpiece on, it seems that you interact with your source through your mind. Interesting," Minhyun voiced out.

Han Minhyun's words made Lee Soohyun's eyes widen for a fraction of a second before reducing them back to their original size. How was he able to deduce that from her words?

"f.u.c.k! He'll figure this entire thing out soon. Ah! You're an idiot, Lee Soohyun. Because of this, I'm going to die!" Minnie kept cursing profanities in her mind.

'Shut up! This is your fault. I just said what you wanted me to say, and it's you who is going to die. After I say him all the truth, he can go lenient on me. After all, I had no choice.'

"Yah! Don't you dare do that, Lee Soohyun! You can't do that," Minnie hissed.
