Chapter 298 00298 Butterfly Effect (1/2)
A cold breeze blows. The dust from the earth knocks on your face, closing your eyes reflexively.
Even after the wind stopped, I didn't open my eyes. I didn't see anything, but all but vision was becoming more sensitive. Hearts trembling with the horrors of death, lips trembling, and the touch of the Horsemen patting my head. and countless dark forces trampling on the earth.
Thump, thump. Thump, thump.
At that moment, I felt a slight tremor on the ground, kneeling. It was a rough enough step to make the ground roar. The vibration grows stronger, and then the moment is almost like a lie. Instead, an unpleasant voice scraping at the metal pierces the earholes.
“Belpegor, I have something to report. Scouts have contacted us. We've identified the emergence of a brain system. ”
“Hehe!”
The pain that seems to be pulling out of my head is pushed from my head. But the pain soon subsided. The unbelievable news that I just heard shocked me more than pain. Tr a n s la t e d b y jpm tl .com
“Yeah? But I was wondering if you were really here. Killkill! But you didn't come alone, did you? ”
“We lost contact as soon as they showed up. But at the end, I saw over a thousand people.... ”
“A thousand people... Then there could be a whole herd of Hamill. Anyway, I get it. There are a lot of us out there, but don't let your guard down. They can't underestimate every single one of them. ”
“Yes, I'll keep that in mind. ”
Thump, thump. Thump, thump.
The footsteps again drift away. And I vomited small breaths trying to rule out surprises.
Tr ans late d by ｊp mtl.ｃ o m My brother and colleagues are here to rescue me. As soon as I heard that, I began to feel uneasy in my heart that was wet with fear.
But that was also a moment. Belpegor, who is still laying his hand on my head, has a deafening voice.
“Hey, Soo-hyun Kim. Open your eyes. Your brother and his men are here to rescue you. ”
“ ……. ”
“That's amazing. I can't believe those huge mobsters are here to save a straggler like you. Honestly, brains don't know this is a trap. Isn't that right?”
I did not answer Belpegor. It was too complicated. I was messing with my feelings of anger, shame, relief, and anxiety. Above all, I had nothing to say. It was what everyone stopped and acted by their own choice. Falling into a trap was entirely my fault that no one could blame me.
When I thought that, I suddenly started feeling powerless.
There's nothing you can do. I just tightened my closed eyes and bit my lower lip to the point of bleeding. Suddenly, I felt like I was going to cry. I didn't want to look weak in front of him. I tried to endure it somehow, but eventually the feeling of the screeching rose to my throat.
Tick-tock! Tick-tock!
“Huh?”
You hear a loud thunder in the distance. I doubted my ears for a moment, but I don't think I misheard Belpegor's doubts as well.
“What, are you here already? No, it can't be. There must be a battalion ahead... ”
It was becoming more and more chaotic around me. Up until now, the Mages who had remained silent as if they were dead rats were shaking badly enough to know even after the advent of the brain. It was then.
Whoo-hoo!
I began to feel a joyful, unfamiliar flow of magical power. It was a wave of magic powerful enough to roar through space. Later, when the waves were frequent, I opened my eyes that had been tightly closed to the familiar voice that was ringing everywhere.

“Ho! This voice... Brains! You must be pretty far away to communicate. I knew it! Kill!”
(I'm warning you. Get your hands off Su-hyun right now.)
“What? How many preparations have I made for you today, and now you want me to take my hands off you? Kuhahaha! Now that you mention it, jokes are not bad, Brainy? ”
(I didn't mean....)
Woohoo! Woohoo!
The flow of magical power continued. As long as my neck was spinning, I looked everywhere, but there was no sign of anything. However, as soon as I slowly saw the dark light on the earth, I looked up at the sky. Even though the cold and sweaty hair stuck together, I was able to clear my eyes once or twice.
And in the sky, when the clouds came, there were a lot of them.
Belpegor raises his head, just like I did. And I could feel the flinching of my hand on my head, as if I could see a golden current that was crumbling so noticeably between the clouds.
Tick-tock! Tick-tock!
At that moment, once more the thunder rumbled through heaven and earth.
(Soo-hyun, get your dirty hands off my head.)
My brother's voice that had been disconnected for a while continued again.
At the same time, a vast beam of light flashes yellow across the sky and plunges it down to the ground.

As soon as I saw the people in the room, my heart fluttered once. T r a n sl ate d by ｊp mt l .c om
Jinha told me to wait a little while, I'll save you soon.
I'd rather be a Needle Keeper who told me to like him.
Tae Won told me not to worry, I'll stop this place.
Joon-seong told me to run away before I beat him.
Hyerin, who waved brightly to see us later, guided us here.
And my brother, Kim Yoo-hyun, who told me to survive to the end.
They were familiar faces, and they cared about me secretly. In the meantime, I wanted to see her like crazy, and I had a lot to say when I met her again. However, my mouth is frozen.
What am I supposed to say? How do I say this?
It's been a long time. This won't do.
No, this is weirder.
I missed you, bro. Not this one either.
Hi, Kim Soo-hyun of the Mercenary Clan Road....
“You said you could cure the Banshee Curse? ”
“………… Yes. ”
A lot of the thoughts in my head that made me dizzily rich were, ”Yes. It was cut down with one answer.” From the restaurant, or from the day I dreamed of seeing my brother again, all the words I had thought of were now hidden from me. T ran s la ted by Ｊp m t l.c oｍ
“I hear you don't have the elixir. Do you have any idea what kind of treatment you're going to use and if you can treat it right now? ”
His voice was cold and dry. During that time, my eyes were downcast and my face was thin. However, the old cold eyes remained the same.
“Are you listening? ”
“Soo-hyun...! What's wrong with you? ”
Cook, I was tired of playing high choir with a stabbing technique on my back. I quickly regained my senses and breathed heavily.
When I think about it, it was like this when I first met Han Soyoung. I couldn't rest my mind, and I couldn't make eye contact. He may have looked ugly in some ways. It was the same now. I keep getting a cold feeling in my heart. I was covering myself with a thick robe, but I could feel my lips or hands slightly trembling.
By the time I exhaled. After pausing for a moment, I take a big inhale again, and I start stepping into the room.
It occurred to me that maybe I gave the reunion something more than was necessary. I didn't want a nice reunion. It was true that I missed them, but I didn't want a romantic situation where they hugged and shed tears. It was impossible and unnecessary to wish for such a situation in the beginning.
It was just a matter of focusing on my goal of returning to number two. Yeah, that'll work.
I took a few steps with my brother, and I stopped. After clearing my throat once or twice, I opened my mouth in a low voice.
“I can tell you that the treatment I'm going to use is purification. However, this does not mean complete treatment. Only the curse of the reflection on your body can be inflicted. Once you're in treatment, you'll know exactly, but the effects of the curse will have to wait a little longer. ”
“Once you break the Banshee Curse, you can save lives. That's enough for now. So we can treat this right now? Or is it going to take a while? ”
The one who answered was Jinha. I tried to smile lightly, but I immediately opened my mouth, remembering that I was still wearing the hood.
“You can do it right now. ”
“Really? Then hurry...! ”
“Wait. Before I go into treatment, I have one condition. ”
“It's urgent! I don't know when I'm going to lose my life. A reward is enough.... ”
I calmly raised my hand to stop Jinha's words. Then I turned to my brother again.
“I'll be right in, so I'd like everyone here to leave, except Hamill Lord. ”
“Can't we see the treatment process? ”
“We need to have a little chat with Hamill Lord after the treatment is over. ”
“Wait a minute.”
When everyone's face became suspicious, Joon-seong stopped me.
“The southern city of Monica. I hear you're from the Mercenary Clan. If you don't mind me asking, can you show me your name and face? ”
“Of course.”
‘By the way, you still have a suspicious personality. ’
He looked cold and cold on the outside, but in reality, Junsung was the one who was very caring.
“Soo-hyun Kim is in charge of the Clan Road of the Mercenary Clan. ”
“Ah. Clan Lord himself... What?”
“Mercenary Clan Road. I'm Kim Soo-hyun.”
“Kim…. Soo-hyun?”
Joon-sung's brother tilted his head and looked at him.
Soon, I was about to raise my hand to take off my hood. Yoohyun, who had been keeping his cool face so far, changed his face for the first time. He was not someone who could shake just because his name was similar. The reaction I'm having right now is that I remember my voice. At first, he couldn't even think about it, then he heard the name 'Kim Soo-hyun’, and he felt that he didn't know what it meant.
He looks confused and shakes his head calmly and says, ”No way.” I muttered to myself. But my gaze was still fixed on me.
Now, it was time to reveal.
“Brother.”
“…… Yes? ”
“Just in case, you were right. ”
“Er... Y-you... Huh...?”
The expression that had only calmed down shocked me for a moment. An enormous gaze poured in from side to side, but I didn't care. As long as he was looking at me, I was just looking at him.
Seeing the rebellion, even though I called him my brother, I slowly grabbed the hand that was holding the hood down. Suddenly, the open air made my face cool. And at that moment, his eyes and mouth widened.
“No, that's ridiculous.... ”
“It's me, my brother Kim Soo-hyun. ”
