Chapter 3: A Day with a Strange Fortune (3) (2/2)
Contrary to what everyone would expect him to do, Chi-Woo turned the opposite direction
“Why should I?” he exclailared at the wall on the far side and rushed towards it He shut his eyes tightly and used all the strength he could ainst the wall That hen…
“Wait!”
Theoutside, ran back in, shocked by Chi-Woo’s abrupt behavior He ed to snatch the back of Chi-Woo’s neck by a hair’s breadth
“Let o!”
“How could you, sir! When I pleaded to you so desperately!”
The man and Chi-Woo rolled and wrestled on the floor for a while after that In the end, Chi-Woo and the ed out with a rope wrapped around his body He yelled all kinds of curses the whole time, but the man didn’t release him
“I will receive the punishments for my sins later I won’t resent you even if you beat ized and asked for understanding fro Chi-Woo “Let ht now first The rooer’s space”
Chi-Woo was quiet now, exhausted by his attempt to break free Thus, thearea”
“fuck off” Chi-Woo continued to spit out sords, but the man paid no attention to him and continued, “Sometimes these types of incidents happen Whether it’s by their oill or not, they soaps and enter here”
“I said fuck you”
The hed “H, we connected all the spaces to this area”
While glaring angrily at the ht Chi-Woo’s eyes
“Ah Perhaps, would it be alright for me to remove this? I had to wear this on Earth, but it’s unco it here”
“Yes, do whatever the fuck you want It’s funny how you’re asking for my pering ”
“…Thank you Please don’t be too surprised” The man took off his coat and put his fedora and mask in the air
Chi-Woo stared intently at the air and wondered if there was some hidden pocket, and then his eyes focused on the ill-like parts poked out of his neck fro that looked like shi+ny scales on the man’s skin Butand thick tail that came out from the man’s hip bone
“…A lizard?” Chi-Woo was so shocked that he let out words he meant to keep it to himself “You’re not human?”
“Haha No, I’m not Sir, I wasn’t born or raised on your planet” The huood-naturedly and continued, “Sir, if I’ Earth’s expressions, I’ll fit more closely towards an alien”
Chi-Woo did not withdraw his suspicions “You did a really good jobyour costume Did you work for Hollywood?”
“Of course not Sir, did you really think that in this enors were on Earth?”
Chi-Woo closed his ht about it like that before, but…it was not a field he was an expert in “I guess these days, even aliens learn Korean Judging by how extremely fluent you are”
“No, that’s not the case We don’t knohich planet would fall into danger or where we have to go, and it doesn’t o to” The alien lizard raised his left hand and shook his wrist “It’s all thanks to this device I work all over the galaxy, so I naturally receive special items like this”
Chi-Woo narrowed his eyes He had wondered why this alien lizard had tapped his left wrist a few tiht now, he couldn’t see anyt…? “Uh?” As soon as he thought this, Chi-Woo saw a bunch of holograms stretch out from the alien’s left wrist like a mind-map
Chi-Woo sed his breath as he saw various geometric patterns fill the space in front of them When the alien lizard shook his left wrist one ram completely disappeared
“Well…I understand, sir I also had a hard time when I found out that the planet I was born and raised on wasn’t the only place that had intelligent life forh we ht? We don’t have to feel disgusted that one of us looks like a squishy sack”
When Chi-Woo remained silent, the alien lizard seemed to ponder for a short while and then said, “The heroes froh they don’t have special physical abilities, their ability to adapt and learn, especially their potential, are rated very highly Moreover, they have also nificant achievements” The alien lizard continued, “However, we can’t stop all the dangers in the universe with just heroes from Earth Even if everyone on Earth is a hero, it still won’t be enough”
As the alien lizard said, the Earth’s human population of 6 or 7 billion was miniscule in comparison to the size of the universe Chi-Woo understood thebehind the alien lizard’s words Since there were other living beings on other planets, it made sense that heroes would co and accepting a piece of information were completely different matters Chi-Woo wondered if he should really believe the alien lizard’s words or not But in the first place, it didn’tout of a café
“So where are we?” Chi-Woo forcibly cal ood enough of an explanation” The alien lizard rubbed his neck, visibly pleased that Chi-Woo finally asked a proper question “As I said before, your older brother is a hero” Then, he said with th in his tone, “I am also…the same” However, the alien lizard seeot noticeably quieter “Hreater than what you’d think It ht not be that much from each planet, but if you count all the heroes in the universe, it’s a vast nu “And the place we’re going to is where heroes gather together”
Before Chi-Woo realized it, they were at the end of the path
“The heroes’ paradise, the galaxy’s administration, a space outside of the flow of space and time, the milestone of dimensions, heaven… It’s a place called by various naether at the end of the path like a rotary
“But heroes like nized and are still working call this place with a specific name” The alien lizard opened the thick door at the end of the path with great force Chi-Woo instinctively turned away and closed his eyes fro from the crack between the door panels
The alien lizard grinned, revealing his sharp teeth “Welcome to the Celestial Realm”
