I Don’t Want This Reincarnation

Ha Tae-heon frowned as I explained while swiping the black hair that obscured my view.

“The energy of all enemies connected to the space has been cut off.”

“Is that okay?”

“…I can’t help it.”

It’s not okay. I was just saving my team members and feeling refreshed right now, but since I had shown all my abilities to Abel, it was going to be even more difficult in the future.

Still, considering the lives of the team members, this was the right answer. I didn’t want to give up on the safety of my team members and hide it. It wasn’t just me, it was probably the same for Cheon Sa-yeon and Ha Tae-heon.

“Are you okay?”

After examining the condition of Cheon Sa-yeon, who quietly exhaled tiredly, he answered as if nothing had happened.

“Of course fine if it’s about this much.”

It must not have been easy to handle the team members, who rushed to him, alone for a short period of time, but I felt sorry for Cheon Sa-yeon who said no. Now that I saw it, there were many wounds all over his body.

Cheon Sa-yeon, who smiled as if he knew even if I didn’t say my thoughts, looked around the team members who were lying on the ground.

“Everyone has been mentally controlled for a long time, so I don’t know how things are going. It seems they’re going to wake up soon.”

As soon as Cheon Sa-yeon finished speaking, the team members began to wake up with a sound of pain one by one.

“Uh…”

“Ah… what…?”

Behind Park Geon-ho, who raised his upper body, Min Ah-rin also put her hand on her forehead and raised her head.

Fortunately, no one was seriously injured. Cheon Sa-yeon had really worked hard.

“Min Ah-rin-ssi. Do you recognize me?”

“Yi-gyeol-ssi?”

Min Ah-rin, who stood up holding my hand, looked around with a puzzled expression. She didn’t have any memories of what she experienced in space?

“Here is…”

“It’s in the space created by the Praus Cult. The entire art gallery has been changed. Are the others okay?”

“Gasp…!”

Kim Woo-jin, who was next to me, suddenly took a breath and was startled at my question. Then he covered his mouth and dyed his face red. What’s wrong with him?

“Uh-agh…”

“Ha…”

“Ah…”

Following Kim Woo-jin, Min Ah-rin, Woo Seo-hyuk, and Park Geon-ho also buried their faces in their hands in turn and sighed.

Cheon Sa-yeon, who watched the scene, crossed his arms and said something with a hint of having fun.

“I guess they remember everything they went through during their mental being controlled.”

“Oh.”

So that’s why they’re so embarrassed.

After seeing the embarrassed team members with a new feeling, I approached Park Geon-ho and snooped around.

“Team Leader’s also embarrassed?”

“How can I not be embarrassed about this…”

At me, who was looking at him curiously, Park Geon-ho lifted his lips slightly and smiled as if he was in trouble.

Park Geon-ho’s cheeks, could be seen through his big hands, were slightly flushed. This was the first time I saw Park Geon-ho was so embarrassed that his face was blushing.

“Well, you are a hunter and a prince at your age, so you should be ashamed if you have a conscience.”

“You look excited, Master?”

“Haa…”

Woo Seo-hyuk let out a deep sigh behind Cheon Sa-yeon, who was teasing, and Park Geon-ho, who refused to lose.

Woo Seo-hyuk must be embarrassed, too. Still, isn’t Woo Seo-hyuk a little better?

“I never imagined that an art museum would be used in this way. Even ordinary visitors are in a state of mental control, right?”

In the midst of that, there was only one person, Kwon Jeong-han, who was the same as usual without much reaction. I nodded my head calmly.

“Right.. you’re fine.”

“I didn’t do anything to be ashamed of.”

Kwon Jeong-han, who shrugged his shoulders slyly, asked me back.

“More than that, Hyung. Isn’t Hyung in a big trouble?”

“Oh?”

“You married Deputy Master Ha Tae-heon. In front of everyone else. You even kissed him? What if the article comes out later?”

“What?”

Confused at the sudden conversation and before I could answer, all the eyes of the team members were on me. As I reflexively staggered backwards, I felt a cold sweat running down my back.

It was then that I remembered that I had married Ha Tae-heon. I didn’t know why Kwon Jeong-han would pick up that now. There were so many incidents that I completely forgot about it.

“The, there’s no other way..”

When I came up with an excuse in a hurry, Ha Tae-heon, who had taken a step back and watched, proudly opened his mouth.

“Whatever the reason, everyone knows that Han Yi-gyeol married me.”

“Pardon?”

What are you talking. Park Geon-ho intervened as I was startled.

“No, that’s a bit. Deputy Master Ha Tae-heon, I didn’t see you like that, but you’re a little shameless.”

“Right! Yi-gyeol-ssi said that he did it because there was no other way. The marriage is annulled.”

“There’s no need to worry about the article being published. Requiem will block them all.”

Following Park Geon-ho and Min Ah-rin, Cheon Sa-yeon also rushed in like crazy guy and began to refute Ha Tae-heon’s remarks, saying it was nonsense.

What kind of conversation is this? Fatigue rushed to me as I pressed hard on my sore eyes. I felt the need to change the topic. There was no time for idle chatter now.

“Everyone, stop it. We haven’t solved this space yet. No matter how much I use my ability, I can’t destroy the space itself.”

After hearing me using intervention ability, Min Ah-rin was the first to come to her senses and point out the most important point.

“Come to think of it.. where’s the witch who took over this mansion? A doll controlled by a woman named Abel.”

“I don’t know. Such doll may not have existed in the first place.”

As soon as we entered this room, Abel sprayed a smoke that reinforced the mental control. After that, everyone except me, Cheon Sa-yeon, and Ha Tae-heon, whose mental control didn’t work, was completely controlled.

Did Abel dig the trap and wait to see us kill each other and eventually destroy us? If it wasn’t for my intervention ability… I was sure it would go as Abel’s plan.

“If there were any dolls, I wouldn’t have to worry about them anymore, since I cut off all the energy that was connected to this space. More importantly, we need to find a way to break the space itself.”

After hearing my explanation, Cheon Sa-yeon narrowed his eyes angrily.

“Maybe I need to fulfill the condition to crush the space like the space Doctor created.”

“Not necessarily.”

I thought about it for a while and then talked.

“Just now… I had a dream when I passed out.”

“Kwon Se-hyun.”

Yoo Shi-hyuk’s voice calling my name passed like a whisper in my ear. The expression he had made when I shook off his hand was also clearly visible.

“It was Elahah who woke me from that dream. If it wasn’t for Elahah, I’d never… it was such a dream that I would never end it.”

Perhaps the other people felt the bitter emotion that came from what I say, the air around them sank even more heavily.

“I met Elahah briefly just before waking up, and then Elahah told me. He has found a way to break the space, so hold on a bit.”

“If Elahah told you directly… did he pay the price to get involved in this?”

“It seems so. If it’s true that he found a way, then this space is…”

That was then. Suddenly, my eyes clouded and my whole body lost energy.

Kim Woo-jin, who was standing next to me, who was struggling loudly without being able to finish my words, was surprised and grabbed me.

“Ha, Han Yi-gyeol?”

“Ah… what, uh…”

A strong drowsiness rushed in like a wave, as if I had been taking sleeping pills. Without even having time to explain what happened in an instant, I fell asleep helplessly while being hugged by Kim Woo-jin.

I lowered my heavy eyelids and closed my eyes, and the scent of flowers wafted through the pitch black darkness. Soon after, the darkness disappeared and a sky full of white puffy clouds and grasslands appeared.

It was the place in my dream that I came to whenever I met Elohim. As expected, Elohim approached from the opposite side with a pale complexion.

“Se-hyun-ah.”

“El?”

This was the first time Elohim had called me in this way. Noticing the bad condition I felt in him, I hurriedly rushed over him.

“What happened?”

Elohim’s condition seen up close was far worse than I had expected. He smiled bitterly and said in a very harsh voice.

“As you may have heard from Elahah, the space will be broken soon.”

“…you two helped.”

“Because you couldn’t come out on your own. I gave a little of my power to a boy named Edward. The item the child made will soon break the device that holds the space.”

The hand that stroked my cheek was too cold. Elohim, whose face pale like a corpse, blinked with a tired look.

“You don’t have to do anything more inside. If you just wait, the veil will soon break and the museum will return to its former state. Ordinary humans caught up in it will also be safe.”

“Fox? Where is Fox?”

“Don’t worry, the kid is outside the space. More than that, Se-hyun-ah, there’s something you must know.”

Elohim’s white hair gently fluttered in the wind from somewhere. Elohim with a bitter expression opened his mouth.

“This time, as you turned into Kwon Se-hyun in that space and used your intervention ability, the situation got very bad.”

“…yes. I think the Praus Cult will know all about my abilities. At least as much as Abel knows for sure.”

“If you had a chance to kill that Abel, what would you choose?”

“…..!”

I can kill Abel? As I flinched at his unexpected suggestion, Elohim’s golden eyes shone brightly.

“Among the energy you cut off, there’s a doll with a moving item that can go directly to the place where Abel resides. It takes about 10 minutes for the energy to come back again.”

“You mean I can meet Abel in person if I use the movement item?”

We had only met dolls controlled by Abel and never actually met Abel.

“Yeah. However, we don’t know exactly where Abel resides or how dangerous it is. You can recognize it by paying the price, but after 10 minutes, the energy will come back…”

“The doll will use the item to run away. You have to make a decision now.”

Elohim quietly nodded his head. I shut my eyes tightly.

My mind got tangled up. After entering this space, all the team members moved without a break.

So everyone must be very tired. Can we go to face Abel as it is now? Maybe it was just my greed.

‘However…’

Cheon Sa-yeon’s figure, who stopped the team members who were under mental control by himself and what Abel had done so far… As I remembered all of them one by one, I couldn’t let go of this opportunity.

There wasn’t much time left for the energy to resume. Having made up my mind, I opened my closed eyes and answered firmly.

“I will go.”
