Chapter 149 - No, we are good (2/2)
Two Kang Si An. One is dressed in a simple traditional white robe. His hair is also white. She has seen this person before Without a doubt, he's the Keeper.
The second one is dressed in the same clothes that he wore when he left Kyuri's house. He has black hair and a smirk on his face. That's her Kang Si An.
Kang Si An: ”Do you think that I would let you come here alone? I was prepared to follow him out.”
Timekeeper: ”Tsk!”
Kyuri: ”But Kang Si An... you might get hurt.”
Kang Si An: ”I can't let you come here alone. We will face it together.”
The timekeeper watches them argue. This is the first time when three of them are facing each other like this.
”I have a question though.” Kang Si An eyes the keeper. ”Why do you look like me even in this realm?”
Kyuri realizes that Kang Si An is right. Why does the keeper look like Kang Si An? Are they soul twins?
”If you see my real form, your souls would burst apart,” The timekeeper tells them with a dull voice. ”I have this appearance because you are my host right now. It keeps things simple.”
”This is...” Kang Si An feels awkward. ”What's your real name?”
”No, we are good.” Kyuri smiles at him. ”Can you send this guy back?”
”Kyuri, I won't go.” Kang Si An creases his forehead. ”I can't let you face a psychopath alone.”
”I don't think that it's a bad idea either.” The timekeeper looks at Ahn Hana's room. The layout of the house is the same, but everything else is different. The walls are bleeding red. There are not their bodies or Do Sejin. Surrounding Ahn Hana's room, there's a repelling dark miasma on the door. Kyuri notices that the miasma is getting thicker by the minute.
”What's that?” Kyuri takes a step back. Does she have to go near that?
”Their darkness.” The timekeeper sighs. ”It's worse than I thought. Then, they wouldn't make it easy for you. I can't follow you inside there. I can only guide you.”
Kang Si An holds Kyuri's back. ”I will go. You stay here.”
”What can you do even if you go there?” Timekeeper glares at him. ”Even if you can walk out of the body and access the dream realm, you don't have her abilities. Only she can separate them.”
”What happens after I separate them?” Kyuri asks the timekeeper.
A loud cry interrupts the timekeeper.
