Episode 089
The blanket that covered my mother’s head up to her head moved slightly.
There must be no camera in that blanket.
Since it’s a thick blanket, it doesn’t seem to be noticeable even if the contents inside disappear.
Still, just in case, I covered my body with dust and sprinkled it on the camera to blur the image quality.
At the dressing table, I painted my body with cream and applied it generously.
At this level, the picture quality will become blurry.
After getting everything ready, I crawled into the blanket.
Then, leaning against the back of my mother’s hand, I tore two pieces of the evocative movement scroll.
“What is it?”
When the scenery in front of her suddenly changed, my mother, who was lying down, got up in surprise.
The place we moved to was a hideout in a cabin by the lake.
There wasn’t much time, so I hurriedly went through the transformation, but my mother’s eyes fell on one spot as she stood up.
These are the worn-out clothes that I took off while transforming.
Mom immediately recognized that it was my clothes.
“This is…”
A trembling voice came out. At that point, I jumped out of my mother’s body and concentrated my mind.
But before that, my mother lowered herself and put her face in front of me.
“Surely you are collecting it?”
No, how on earth did you find out?
Is this a mother’s superhuman intuition?
I was so shocked that I even forgot to unlock my transformation for a moment.
Seo Ji-han was also standing there with a face that made his jaw drop.
He looked at me asking if I had done something, but I denied it by just shaking my front leg.
Meanwhile, my mother was crying alone in sadness.
“Moa Ga Moa died here. “I turned into a bug and met my mother…”
I quickly removed my transformation before the misunderstanding got any deeper.
As I grew older, I didn’t forget to pick up my cape.
My mother’s eyes opened wide as she saw me gradually regaining my human form.
After finally returning to my original self, I shyly faced my mother.
Well, what can I say?
I think my mom was very surprised.
“Hehe, mom, were you surprised…?”
My mother clenched her molars and approached me with long strides.
Do you want to hug me? I thought so, but what came flying was a harsh back smash.
“You bad thing! This bad thing! While alive! “How much I…”
My mother, who was overflowing with emotion, was about to burst into tears, so I quickly stretched out my hand to stop her.
It’s nice to have an emotional aftermath, but there’s no time.
When they realize something is strange, things get difficult.
“Mom, I don’t have much time. “Please listen to me first.”
Even though the camera is covered in dust and cream, you’ll quickly notice something strange.
I quickly explained what had happened so far.
The attack team was wiped out and it was a conspiracy by a large guild or the powerful person behind it.
Even having to pretend to be dead like this until the operation against them is completed.
“If I run away with Seungju here using that scroll, won’t they be able to chase me too?”
“I thought about that too, but then the wanted range could expand to the entire world. And it’s hard to predict what they’ll do.”
“But…”
“They might try to frame or kill Mom or the people around her. To catch us running away. The people around my mother, the people around the people around me. There’s no end. “Because you can’t live your whole life running away.”
Fortunately, my mom quickly understood the situation and convinced me.
I felt like it was because my life and the lives of my family depended on it.
“It won’t take long. Mom, I will definitely defeat those guys and return to your side. Promise.”
“okay.”
“If you get into danger, use the item on the back of your hand and run away here. Understand? “I live here.”
“okay.”
My mom was stroking my cheek and body with her hand the whole time I was talking.
My heart ached because I felt like I was trying to make sure it wasn’t a dream.
“You don’t have to defeat it, so don’t die. “We contact each other often.”
“of course. Oh, take this. “Your cell phone will be monitored, so you can’t contact me there.”
I took out a few Sotong Yugwa from my inventory and shared them with my mom, just like Eundam Yoo did.
I keep half of the yew fruit that I fed to my mother and give the other half of the yew fruit that I ate to my mother.
My mom didn’t have any inventory, so she put it on the back of her hand.
“This is a communication course. If you want to contact me, take one out and nibble on it. Then you will be connected to me who ate the other half. Don’t eat it all at once, but contact me from time to time. Understand?”
“Communication…?”
There really wasn’t much time now.
If you cover yourself with a blanket for too long, you may be suspicious.
I hugged my mom one last time and gave her a scroll.
“Then it’s time to go back.”
“I need to collect it for a moment.”
“You can’t be suspicious. Come on mom. I have to rip the scroll while thinking about what’s inside that blanket. Understand?”
My mom must have seemed very urgent, so she grabbed the scroll without asking any more questions.
I didn’t forget to check the pattern on the back of my hand two or three times.
“okay. I’ll go now. “I’m okay now because I saw it was alive.”
I said it was okay, but my mom was crying.
I ended up hugging my mom again.
“I love you mom. “I will definitely go back.”
And the feeling of volume in my arms disappeared.
I finally felt like a big rock that was blocking my heart had been lifted.
After a while, a notification message came to mind and I felt even lighter.
The effect of ‘Item: Communication Lesson’ is applied.
‘Item: Communication Lesson’: Duration 1 minute 59 seconds
“Should I collect it?”
A voice whispering softly.
I answered with a smile.
“Yes, Mom. “Do you have any more questions?”
* 氷 ♦
I spent some time talking to my mom like that.
My mother seemed unable to tell whether it was a dream or reality, but she gradually began to calm down.
After using up two communication skills completely, he seemed to have realized that the time to contact him through the communication skills was limited, so he ended the contact, saying he would save the items.
Contact using communication channels ensured near-perfect confidentiality, but the short connection time was a drawback.
For a moment, I thought about stopping in Las Vegas to look for a cell phone for my mom, but I soon came to the conclusion that it wouldn’t be of much use.
Certainly, if you get this high-security mobile phone from Las Vegas, there is no chance of your phone call being hacked, but it is meaningless if your contact itself is discovered.
The moment they discover this suspicious cell phone, they will become suspicious.
I’m the subject of surveillance, always whispering something using a special device whose origin I don’t know.
If something like that is caught on camera, you’ll want to do whatever it takes to investigate.
Maybe it was because it had been a while since I had a good time, or maybe it was because it was time to sleep, so I laid down on the bench and chatted with my mom and fell asleep at some point.
I woke up to the sound of a deafening voice.
– what’s the matter?
Perhaps because it was early morning, it was pitch dark everywhere.
Seo Ji-han, who was silently wiping the room with a wet tissue, approached rustlingly.
When I woke up in the morning, I thought the house was strangely sparkling, but maybe it was this and not the sunlight.
I unexpectedly witnessed his hard work.
– Did you have a nightmare?
Seo Ji-han, who put down the wet tissue, slipped out of the doll.
As I looked at that worried face, I became confused.
What was it?
“It wasn’t that, I thought someone called me.”
– who? No one came.
“is it so? weird. “I thought I heard a loud noise.”
Did I hear something in my sleep?
I shook my head and said it was no big deal, then snuggled back into the blanket.
I’m very tired because I haven’t slept for a few hours.
But just before I closed my eyes, I heard the voice again.
“Hunter, gather your hands! Can you hear me?”
It was Yu Eundam’s voice.
Only then did I notice a notification message floating in the corner of my eye.
The communication policy was being activated.
“…Hunter Eundam Yoo?”
“are you okay? “I thought something was wrong because there was no answer when I called.”
It sounded like a communication problem.
This is why Seo Ji-han couldn’t hear it.
After understanding the situation, Seo Ji-han calmly returned to the doll and started mopping.
Since he couldn’t hear the conversation between me and Yoo Eun-dam anyway, his attitude was to draw attention.
“I was sleeping.”
“ah.”
Come to think of it, did I tell Yoo Eundam that I was in America?
Hmm, I guess I didn’t say that.
It’s dawn here, so it must be early evening in Korea.
I checked the top of my phone for several missed calls.
They all came from Eundam Yoo.
It seemed like I ended up having to write a communication class because I didn’t answer the phone.
“I’m going to send you a picture on my phone right now. Can you come here?”
A little while after Yoo Eundam finished speaking, a photo arrived on my cell phone.
This is a photo of the vast ocean at sunset.
I have no idea where this is.
The only information you can get is that this is the sea.
“Where am I?”
“It’s the sea area between Dokdo and Ulleungdo. A new dungeon has now opened here.”
Ah, now that I think about it, it’s almost time for a new dungeon to open.
It seems like about two months have passed, but perhaps another dungeon has opened somewhere other than this dungeon.
“I can’t see the dungeon…”
“It’s because it’s open underwater. “I’ll show you.”
Another photo arrived.
The swirling sea was captured under a slightly darker sky than in the previously arrived photo.
The reason that vortex was created is because of the dungeon.
“Wouldn’t it be dangerous? Soon other people will come, but as you know, I’m pretending to be dead…”
I’m worried that if I go there for no reason, I’ll show my face in front of the people flocking to the new dungeon.
I didn’t feel like it, so I turned it down, but Eundam Yoo was adamant.
“It just opened. “No one will know yet.”
How does Yoo Eundam know about the dungeon that no one knows about?
It becomes more and more uncomfortable.
