Chapter 84: Chapter 8 Crossroads-7

Heart left his house and thought about SoYoon as he walked in long strides.

Wi GaHyun—it was a name he could now never forget.

She stopped walking and pressed her eyelids. All the pain and heartache she had gone through had been because of that girl. It was hard to push down the anger rising inside of her, and she wanted nothing more than to kill her this very moment.

But she shouldn't do that. She needed to show her that there was something in this world much worse than death.

SoYoon headed back to her house. The moment she entered, Dor woke up and hugged SoYoon around the waist as she asked her, ”Where did you go?”

”I just stepped out for a bit. Have you eaten?”

”Yes.”

With Dor still wrapped around her waist, SoYoon sat on the sofa and looked at March and Li. The two of them peered at her with tense expressions. SoYoon carefully examined Li. She had the face of a young teenager.

”Should I be calling you Alice?”

”Oh, no. That name now belongs to that girl. Call me Li.”

”All right, Li. I'm sorry about what happened before.”

SoYoon glanced at Li's shoulder. Li touched the area and still felt pain.

She was sure SoYoon had bruised it, but Li couldn't utter a single word about it because SoYoon's gaze seemed to be burning into her. Li realized that it was her suppressed anger.

”I want to hear the specifics about that girl.”

SoYoon said this calmly, but it was hard to hide the fire that rose inside the deepest corner of her heart. It had already become deeply ingrained in her.

The White Rabbit Li knew was Alice's most trusted supporter. And so, it was hard for her to understand White Rabbit's sudden change in emotion.

When White Rabbit first had met Alice, another soul had already taken over. This meant that the Alice who White Rabbit knew was that girl from the beginning. In this situation, it didn't make sense that she would suddenly get this angry by the mere fact that she found out that their souls had been swapped.

Li stuttered as she explained what had happened to her. She had looked up at the Wonderland sign and passed out. Upon waking up after a long time, she realized that someone had taken over her body. Then she told her what she saw of Wonderland from that girl's perspective.

SoYoon frowned with her pale lips and called Baby.

”It's me. I need information about Alice Liddell.”

”I can get it to you now….I wondered when you would ask me for it,” Baby said and hung up.

It seems as if the only person unaware of all this was SoYoon herself. SoYoon looked at Li.

”This was a debt. And you have to pay back a debt.”

”If you want, I can give you the information you desire.”

For example, who was the culprit who killed the Liddell couple? When she told her this, Li shook her head.

”...I already know.”

Hers was a puzzling tone. SoYoon looked down at Li and thought, It is not right to blame the child for the parents' wrongdoing. But she couldn't help thinking that this was how Henry Liddell got punished for what he had done.

”Are you going somewhere?” Dor asked SoYoon as she got up from the sofa. She told her that she was going over to Baby's and left the house.

And not long after, she ran into Mad Hatter.

”Yochanan?”

SoYoon's voice was slightly lower than usual. Sensing that something was wrong just from that sign, Mad Hatter swept aside her hair. When he did, he saw that her eyes were red with tears. His cool fingers helped reduce the swelling of her eyes.
