Chapter 150 - Its over (1/2)
”What was that?” Kyuri moves closer to Kang Si An instinctively. That sound is scarier than dealing with a time-crystal plant monster's scream.
”See the miasma is born from Hong Yi Hwan's darkness and unholy near union with Ahn Hana.” The Keeper furrows his brow a bit, not losing his calm demeanor. ”It's been metamorphosing into something monstrous. Something must have triggered Hong Yi Hwan. He wants to merge completely with Ahn Hana's soul forcefully and control her body.”
The two humans become quiet, unable to digest what they are hearing. They turn their head together and look at the closed door. They can't tell what's on the other side. They don't have enough brain to imagine the monster either.
”Come on.” Kang Si An pats Kyuri with a pale face. ”It's not worse than the time-crystal monster. Remember human bones? Haha... we literally walked on human bones to that thing. My body was even suċkėd dry. I didn't feel a thing.”
”Why are you talking about that?” Kyuri scowls at him darkly. It's not a good memory for her. ”If things go wrong, even our bodies won't exist.”
”Isn't it the same?” Kang Si An creases his forehead. ”If we are dead, does it matter what happens to our body?”
Kyuri hasn't died once and he has died numerous times. They both have different opinions regarding death.
”You know that Ahn Hana's soul is being eaten by Hong Yi Hwan right now?” The keeper is not looking at them. He's looking at the walls. The miasma is attracting dark creatures between the world of the living and the dead. He has to build a barrier around this house. ”Remember saving Ahn Hana is the task. You must separate them. Go now. I have to handle things here.”
Kyuri and Kang Si An feel like they are being whooshed away. Both of them look at the Keeper's back. ”You are going to be okay, right?”
”You are handling the worst, not me,” Keeper tells them without looking back. ”I will be working on a barrier. Remember to secure Ahn Hana first. He might kill her.”
”Good luck, Keeper,” Kyuri says awkwardly before taking steps toward the door. When they get to the door, Kang Si An pushes her behind him. He signals her to be quiet. The door has no lock. He pushes it slowly.
”HAHAHAHAHA~” The mad and cynical laughter sends goosebumps down their spines. ”My dear Hana, be mine. Be mine. Mine only.”
”What a crazy thing!” Kyuri mumbles. ”Even after death, he's after her.”
”Aren't I the same?” Kang Si An whispers. ”I died so many times and yet, I wanted to be with you.”
”How are you the same? Would you try merging your soul with mine?”
In the corner, a pale and sickly form of what looks like a woman is sitting with her eyes closed. A black wet shadowy thing is embracing that woman. Little by little, she's being suċkėd into the dark creature. She's not resisting. Rather, she can't resist. There's bȧrėly anything left of her.
”I will distract the monster. You go and take Ahn Hana away.” Kyuri whispers to Kang Si An.
”I distract him and you take Ahn Hana away.” How can he let her get close to that thing? It is literally suċkɨnġ a soul.
Kyuri shakes her head and jumps into the room. Being sneaky has never been her style. Even if she's a bit sneaky, it won't work now. There's no time. ”Hey, you!”
Hong Yi Hwan raises his head. He doesn't look like Hong Yi Hwan anymore -not the handsome man he once was. He has taken the form of his twisted heart - dark, psychotic, obsessive, sinister, and on the verge of becoming a demon.
