Chapter 684: I Erased My Memories (1)

‘What a bunch of c.r.a.p.’

There was no doubt that it was better if I just stayed still in that situation.

Before I judged the person who sent the message to me, I became suspicious that Lucifer gave that person a hint.

The person who made that bet was hoping that I would notice something, and I put a nail in the game because I’d win if I stayed still. It was clear what I had to do.

Didn’t the crazy crow turn our Hyunsung into Doom Hyunsung?

However, it was inevitable to feel concerned by the whole situation. How would it feel to be in the middle of a mystery thriller movie?

I never really thought such an event would happen.

My head was already full of problems because of the people who were coming in a few days.

There was no room to care about other issues from the beginning, and in fact, my priority was only to take care of the guild members and my surroundings.

‘I don’t even have time for this.’

I slowly rummaged back, but there was nothing wrong with my head. I couldn’t remember every day perfectly, but I didn’t feel like there was a hole in my head.

It was doubtful whether the time when my memory was erased started when Hyunsung turned into Doom Hyunsung.

Although circ.u.mstantial, I and Lucifer’s bet was made at the time when the light fell off from the North…

‘It could be before that.’

Perhaps it was a long time ago. It’s not memorable, so it’s right to consider all the possibilities for the time being.

I hated imagining it, but what if Lucifer and I had already met long ago?

‘What am I talking about? That crow needs an acting award.’

Although the possibility was small, it was reasonable to think about the different

It was generally hard to understand why she gave such strong hints, but I couldn’t remember.

Perhaps I just needed an opportunity or condition to remember it.

No matter how hard I thought about it at that moment, I knew the answer would never be revealed, but I still kept holding on, anyway.

It was said that if one held on quietly, thinking that it would work out in the end, everything would eventually be solved. However, just being swept away without knowing anything increased my anxiety.

I guessed Lee Jihye wasn’t wrong when she called me a control freak. No, honestly, Noona was right.

‘Sh*t… Yeah, I think I’m a control freak.’

I couldn’t stand still, Sh*t.

That’s probably why I erased my memory and made an arrangement for Cho Hyejin.

I was certain I knew I was going to struggle for my memory. I must’ve expected that I would never stay still. Therefore, it was clear that I left a note to myself as a reminder.

‘No, sh*t, I shouldn’t think so easily. Shouldn’t I consider the possibility that it’s a trap?’

If I had expected to dig up the secret, I would’ve prepared a different arrangement.

It was obvious that Lee Kiyoung, the b.a.s.t.a.r.d, must’ve planned some bullsh*t to happen.

I was sure I could bet everything on the fact that I’d made a few traps. It was like waiting for me to cling to the treasure map after sneaking it in as if I had hidden a really important artifact, or I might intend to use it as bait into another place.

In summary, it was highly likely that telling Cho Hyejin to give the note was a trap. That was definitely a trap.

I wanted it to start with Hyejin. I wanted to start from there. I was right, weren’t I?

‘You’re such a f.u.c.king b.a.s.t.a.r.d… Ugh.’

It was definitely harder to dig around the trap. It felt similar to the fact that it was more difficult to explain than to instigate.

When I bit my lips tightly, Cho Hyejin looked at me anxiously. At this point, my eyes were already full of tears.

She looked at the person who sometimes forgot everything because he was losing his memory. There was nervousness on her face, and of course, I noticed that it was hard for her to continue talking.

“Vice Guild Master…”

“When did you get this?”

“I’m telling you again, but…”

“Yes?”

“You told me not to tell you.”

‘Yeah, I’m sure.’

“Hurry up and tell me… No, no. You don’t have to tell me. I don’t think the timing’s right anyway. I don’t have to ask since it’s pretty obvious in the first place.”

I just thought of it as from the time the memory loss appeared.

I would’ve said she could lie, anyway. I knew that I wouldn’t be able to push her around like a madman.

Pressuring Cho Hyejin by continuing to look nervous meant the re-emergence of the memory loss that had already been buried.

She wasn’t the problem, but if she informed Doomed Hyunsung, the atmosphere could suddenly take a turn for the worse… It was better to be as stable as possible, almost as if nothing happened.

Above all, I didn’t like the fact that I was digging from that stance. It’s no better than moving in a person’s board.

I didn’t have to start from the entrance of a maze that I couldn’t clear.

It was obvious that I erased my memory myself. Hence, the answer to my question had to be hidden. It wasn’t too late to go into a forest where I could get lost after I had searched everywhere.

“…”

“…”

“I haven’t forgotten everything yet. There seems to be a problem only in the memory when I met with Hyejin… I remember everything else. It looks like I was a little tired at that time. If I pa.s.sed on such a note, it seems that I was mentally driven. Because my stress back then was so severe, it seems that there was only a problem with the memory of that day. So don’t be bothered. I remember all of the contents in the note.”

“…”

“I was holding my head because I was thinking about something else.”

“…”

‘d.a.m.n it. Sh*t, sh*t…’

Of course, she didn’t seem to believe me. Rather, her suspicious look began to pressure me.

It was unlikely that she was going to inform Kim Hyunsung, but it bothered me nonetheless.

“Let’s go in for now.”

“If you’re tired, I don’t think it’s a bad idea to just rest today. I’ll talk to the Guild Master carefully, so…”

“What are you talking about? And Hyunsung already roughly knows. I’m afraid you might be worried, but we have already reached an agreement. Don’t worry about Hyunsung. Oh, and spending this time with the guild members is like taking a break for me. It’s my way of releasing stress. If you’re worried about me, please hang out with me for a day. That might help relieve my stress… Are you free in two days?”

I thought I could get a small clue by then. If I couldn’t get it, I could walk into the maze myself.

“Tomorrow will be better.”

‘No, I have a lot to look into tomorrow.’

“Why? Do you have any plans in two days?”

“It doesn’t matter if you have an appointment or not. I think I need to know more about what’s going on.”

‘What, but why do you look like that?’

“Do you have an appointment?”

“I have an appointment with Jihye…”

“…”

“…”

‘What? Sh*t. Why do you guys keep hanging out?’

“I’m not going to just hang out with her. There is a saying that there is a place that was used as an underground auction house near one of the sites. It’s supposedly being used as a shelter and bunker, so we need to check it out. I heard that there are more things to investigate than I thought…”

‘That’s a lie. We don’t need an underground shelter.’

“And I heard that a monster that was for trading in the underground auction house escaped. It’s not a dangerous situation because its rating isn’t that high, but I think it’s better to take care of it quietly. I owe her a lot, so I feel like I’m paying back this time.”

‘Illegal trading of monsters is all c.r.a.p…’

What underground shelters did we need when we had an ark anyway?

“It won’t take long. Of course, it could be a little longer depending on the situation…”

‘And sh*t… Underground auction house… That’s our memory…’

“I think two days from now will be good… In two days… How…”

“…”

“How… can you try?”

“…”

I felt sorry for Lee Jihye, but Hyejin wasn’t indifferent enough to leave a sick person behind.

She slowly nodded as expected.

“It’s been a long time since we played chess and talked about the backlog. I’ll tell Jihye. If you have time, you can look around the bunker with me. Okay?”

“No, Vice Guild Master doesn’t have to go there. We can go the next day. If you’ve decided to cool your head before something big happens, wouldn’t it be best to sit there doing nothing? I think I’d better tell Jihye myself.”

“Well, that’s true, but… Anyway, it’s good to be close to Jihye, but don’t get too close.”

“What?”

“I wasn’t going to say this, but she’s a little manipulative.”

“What?”

“I’ll tell you the details later. That’s all you need to know. Then let’s meet in two days. Let’s just play chess and drink wine.”

“Oh, yes.”

“It’s a little late. Let’s get going.”

“Yes.”

I slowly started to move towards the meeting place with Cho Hyejin.

She had a slightly reluctant face, almost as if she was curious that I didn’t ask her about notes or other matters.

She thought maybe I would ask her properly in two days, but she couldn’t understand my att.i.tude.

She probably thought that I had accepted it by then, but of course…

‘I can’t accept it.’

There was nothing strange about me. I didn’t even panic right away.

Besides that, I moved because I had a lot of work to take care of, but honestly, I didn’t think of anything else.

It was a place I expected because I thought I could find some room, but I felt like I was slowly getting sucked into the chaos.

When I thought it would be better to think back slowly from the beginning, I heard someone calling my attention.

“Well, what were you doing, still not resting?”

A big voice came from behind me. It was a familiar tone and a familiar voice. There’s no way I couldn’t tell who it was.

Looking back naturally, I saw a pig with a big body.

He was smiling as if he was happy that his idea of gathering the guild members together got accepted. It was uncomfortable that he appeared late at the party that was his idea in the first place.

‘You b.a.s.t.a.r.d.’

Of course, I was late as well, but my situation was different.

The pig and myself doing useless things.

There was definitely a difference in my position. I was fighting for the continent, after all. I could a.s.sure anyone that he would still be in a position that made it hard for me over time.

“You… you…”

“…”

“You…”

“Well, I was wondering if I was a little late… I don’t think that’s the case. Is it just starting?”

“You son of a…”

“…”

“…”

“Huh…?”

“…”

‘What…? Sh*t… What the h.e.l.l…’

“Vice Guild master?”

“Wait… Wait… Wait… Wait a minute…”

“…”

“…”

“…”

“Hyung-nim… Are you crying?”
