I Lost My Memory and Had Too Many S-Class Girlfriends - Chapter 138
138 – A date on a new moon night (3)
“… ….”
“… ….”
There was silence for a while.
The woman is looking at me with a calm face.
I bit my lips for a little while.
I wanted to say something, but somehow the words didn’t come out. I felt an unknown frustration. What the hell is this woman She is what the hell is she doing. My head is complicated.
…… In fact, there is one hypothesis that has been circulating in my head for a while.
It was a bit far-fetched, but somehow I was certain in my heart.
But I didn’t bother to say it out of my mouth.
Because it was like a delusion.
‘Let’s stop thinking foolishly. It really can’t be.’
I shook my head.
Isn’t there no way that woman could have done something like regression?
I decided to end this thought with a wry smile since it was an absurd story that can only be seen in novels or dramas.
But do you know?
Maybe they really regressed?
If you think about it, the recent steps of the Seongcheon Church are very unconventional.
It is breaking through the unexploited layer without hesitation without much damage.
What would have taken years was accomplished in a matter of months.
As if you knew the future.
‘If that woman really did regress, why did she approach me?’
Perhaps it could be a person related to me before returning.
But I can’t remember that woman’s face.
She is the first person I have ever seen.
“Ah. The atmosphere has gotten weird. Sorry.”
While I was lost in thought, the woman suddenly bowed her head and apologized.
“Because I like to talk about IF. So what did you say strangely? I’m sorry if I made you feel bad.”
“… ….”
“Maybe it was because I was able to talk directly with Seo-jun, whom I had always wanted to meet, so he was more talkative than usual. I think I was a bit nervous and talked gibberish.”
“… ….”
I didn’t seem nervous at all, and I didn’t seem to be babbling, but I didn’t bother asking. It was because it seemed that he would not answer even if I had to ask for nothing.
‘It’s questionable in many ways, but there’s no proof that that statement is true, and I don’t know the purpose of approaching me.
Having decided that it might be too early to draw conclusions, I quietly cast my gaze toward the woman.
“You said I was lying in a hospital bed. I fell unconscious for quite some time. But it must have been a while since I got up from the hospital bed and I was excited to meet Seo-jun. Please understand me a little.”
“Do you have any disease?”
“No. Not sick…….”
The woman scratched her cheek gently with a troubled look on her face, then suddenly spat out a word.
“Because there was a small accident.”
When I heard that it was a small accident, an unpleasant feeling passed through my mind.
“Someone almost killed me. What is it?”
Did she almost get murdered?
“I’m so glad you’re all right.”
“Yes? Really?”
The woman raised her voice with a flushed face. Come on?
“Do you think I’m really lucky that I’m safe? Mr. Seojun?”
“Yes? Oh what Yes.”
I just said it as a greeting, but the woman was very happy.
I don’t know why she’s so happy, but from that woman’s point of view, I was no different from her favorite celebrity, so when she said she was worried about me, she seemed satisfied in many ways.
“Seojun-ssi takes care of everything. Today is a very happy day.”
The woman smiled happily as she looked up at the dark night sky.
It seemed strangely pleasant, so I just kept my silence, sorting out my uneasy feelings.
“Whoops. Maybe the reason why I became a fan of Seojun to this extent is because I felt a sense of identity.”
“What kinship?”
“Actually, Seojun and I have quite a lot in common.”
“Do you know what my ability is?”
It was a tone that seemed to be well aware of my absorption ability.
Ordinary people know me as a holder of multiple powers, but does this woman know the identity of my powers?
Did you really make a regression?
“Yes. Of course. Seojun-ssi, you can forcibly take and use someone else’s ability, right?”
The woman nodded her head with a smile on her face, and she spoke confidently. Her expression of stealing sounded slightly negative, but she didn’t necessarily mean it wrong, so she kept quiet. Would it hurt if I told you that I would rather absorb it?
“You really thought you wouldn’t know Seo-jun’s abilities? In the first place, Seo-joon didn’t even hide his abilities.”
“I do.”
Whether or not that woman regressed, I had to openly reveal her abilities several times, so it was something that would be discovered someday. Of course, I didn’t know it would come out so quickly.
“The telekinesis, freezing, and strengthening abilities that Seojun used…… You absorbed everything from people related to Seo-joon, right?”
“… ….”
That is correct.
I slightly absorbed the abilities of Jihyeon, Seoyoon, and Hwaryeon.
“No surprises. If you are a fan of Seojun, how much would you expect? In fact, there are many controversies about Seojun’s ability on the Internet. If you think about Seo-jun’s character relationships, it’s not difficult to infer.”
Certainly this woman is right.
If you investigate my activities with interest, you’ll come to the idea that it might be an imitation-type ability.
However, the woman was not ‘expected’ but ‘confident’.
As if I knew my abilities from the beginning.
“You said your abilities were similar to mine, right? What is your ability?”
I asked a question, calming my reluctance. Being questioned one-sidedly was not in my temper. I also wondered what the hell this woman’s ability was.
“Are you from Hunter by any chance?”
“It’s a little vague to say that he was a hunter. It’s just the ability to awaken. Oh, of course I have the right to enter and exit the tower.”
“So, what are your abilities?”
“Actually, my ability is a secret to the outside world…… I’ll tell Seo-jun a little bit.”
It’s something grandiose and secret to the outside world.
“If Seojun’s ability is to take away the opponent’s power semi-permanently, I have the ability to permanently take over the opponent’s power.”
“Are you taking over the opponent’s abilities?”
I was a little surprised.
No, what? Did i hear wrong?
This is a truly unheard-of ability.
“To be precise. With the permission of the other party, you can permanently transfer your abilities. And I can use it and pass it on to others.”
“…… Really?”
I don’t know if that woman’s words are true or not, but if they’re true, it’s definitely an unprecedented ability.
The ability to pass on to others as well as permanently robbing the other person’s ability?
Nonsense.
It’s a scam.
If you had that level of ability, it would have spread all over the place via various media outlets…… Oh right. I was told it was a secret. Is that why it hasn’t been known to the world yet?
‘Then why are you telling me? I can spread rumors.’
I looked at the woman with a puzzled expression.
The woman faced me with a fresh smile.
It seemed to have penetrated my thoughts.
“No way, Mr. Seojun. You’re not going to tell anyone else, are you?”
“Of course.”
“Since it’s what Seojun said, I’ll believe it.”
I really can’t believe it.
Are you just kidding about abilities?
Even if you say you have such an ability in the first place, there is no way you can really tell me. Why would he confide in me the ability he had kept secret until now?
“I have lived my life helping many people with this ability.”
The woman slowly held out her hand.
“You know Seo Jun, right? People who have awakened their powerful abilities cannot control them properly, so they continue to suffer.”
“Ah.”
Suddenly, Seoyoon’s case came to mind.
Because Seo-yoon awakened her very powerful mental ability when she was young, she lived a painful life without being able to properly get along with her people.
If she hadn’t had the telepathic ability, she would have gotten along well with a lot of people by now, and she would have stepped forward as the successor of the Ilsung group.
“I went to those who were suffering, received my powers, and gave them to those who really needed them.”
If that woman’s words are true, shall we ask her to take some of Seoyoon’s telepathic ability? Do you know could you do my favor? It wasn’t a possibility because it was always favorable.
“Thanks to that, it helped me a lot to increase my age.”
“Yes?”
To call the tax.
Nuiance is a little strange.
Isn’t it too private?
“It’s a combination of both.”
The woman grinned and she joked.
“But she said she belonged to the Seongchun Church.”
“Yes. Yes.”
“You don’t even know the denomination? Ability?”
“No. I know. Ever since I was a child, I have lived half-confined to the Seongcheon Church.”
Why is the woman who was said to be half confined now roaming around so freely?
And that too on this late night.
“Do you think it’s okay to walk around like this now?”
“Yes. I had the real power.”
Seize the real power?
What is this girl really like?
I don’t think she’s joking.
“Something from the Seongchun Church…… Are you a high-ranking person?”
“There are no people above people, Mr. Seojun.”
The woman took off her pretense with a subtle smile.
“But if I have to say…… Yes it is. Would you say it’s a high position? She was also on TV from time to time. How many times must you have seen Seojun?”
“Didn’t I see it?”
I don’t remember at all.
In the first place, there was no particular interest in the Seongcheon Church.
Of course, there seemed to be a lot of things related to the Seongcheon Church in my future dreams, so I’ve been looking for things lately, but I’ve never seen that woman.
“Seojun. Can I tell you a story from the past?”
An old story?
What are you trying to say out of the blue?
The woman didn’t even listen to my answer and started talking calmly.
“Once upon a time there was a man.”
It was a kind and benevolent voice like a mother telling a child a traditional fairy tale.
“The man who lost his parents made it his goal to become a Hunter and take the tower.”
“Ah.”
You’re in a similar situation to me.
I can immerse myself a little.
But it’s a bit embarrassing.
Why are you in a situation similar to mine?
“But the man had no talent. He’s awakened an insignificant ability. Because of that, he almost lost his life several times. If he was a normal person, he would have given up because he was afraid of his life, but the man did not give up on attacking the tower until the end. It was really stupid.”
I was fortunate enough to awaken a powerful ability.
If my abilities were insignificant, I might have acted like the main character in that story.
“How much time has passed like that? Humanity has not been able to break through to the top unexplored strata in time. Because of that, really powerful monsters came pouring out of the tower, and the whole world was in chaos.”
There is something called the clock hand of destruction.
As a joke, it is also called the human extinction count.
If you can’t reach the latest floor within a certain amount of time, powerful monsters will pour out from the tower. That’s why the Hunter business has been so active.
As an aside, if you attack unattacked levels consecutively before the countdown ends, you will have enough free time.
In other words, there is nothing wrong with attacking the untargeted class quickly.
Of course, it is not easy to attack the towers called Outer Demonic World in succession.
From noble mtl dot com
In fact, a few years ago, a powerful monster called ‘Twelve Eyes’ appeared in China after failing to capture the tower?
At that time, a lot of people died.
Jihyun almost died too.
“In the aftermath, the woman the man liked died, and her friends and colleagues lost her life as well.”
…… Wait a minute, this story feels a little strange.
“I lost my parents, the girl I liked, my friends and colleagues to the monster. I became a loner in an instant.”
“I’m sorry.”
“Yes. That’s right. Too bad. The man had half his mind broken, but he was determined to somehow get up and get his revenge on the monster. Now, all that was left of the man was his anger toward the monster.”
As she silently listened to the woman, an unknown sense of déjà vu popped up in her head.
“With the man abandoning his pride, he went to a woman he had dumped in the past and asked for an ejaculation. Please help me He says he really wants to climb the tower.”
I know the identity of this deja vu.
“The woman was the head of a clan. So, at least a man had the ability to help. But the woman didn’t like the man very much. Because once upon a time she abandoned herself.”
I think I’ve heard this story a lot.
“But in the end, the woman had no choice but to decide to help the man. She continued to grumble on the outside, but she couldn’t let go of her liking for men.”
No, to be precise, I have ‘seen’ it.
“A man has been able to grow quite well with the help of a woman over the years. He could also notice that the man’s abilities were amazing.”
Where did you see it?
You don’t even have to think about it.
I saw it in my dream of the future.
“Do you know what a man’s ability is?”
The woman makes a strange look in her eyes, then smiles brightly.
“It is the ability to absorb the power of others.”
I was sure here.
That this woman did something like regression or foresight.
“The man made full use of his abilities. He did whatever it took to become strong.”
“Wait a minute.”
“The man went hunting for powerful people. Most of them were heinous criminals, but the man didn’t care and made his powers into vegetable people, gathered them in one space, and forcibly absorbed his powers whenever needed. Like a battery.”
The woman just licked her lips, ignoring my words.
“A man who grew up hunting talented people built relationships with many people and made powerful allies, eventually being able to capture the tower.”
“Wait a minute.”
“However, a lot of blood was shed in the process of attacking the tower. All of the man’s colleagues were killed.”
“Can’t you hear me? What are you?”
I stretched out her hand and tried to dissuade her, but before I knew it, the woman who held my wrist tightly pushed her face closer to me and repeated her story with a smile on her face.
“When he reached the top of the tower, the man suddenly looked back. There was no one. It was all men’s fault. It’s because he was obsessed with attacking the tower as much as he was overdoing it. But the man didn’t mind. Because if he conquers the tower, he can make his wish come true.”
I could tell that it was getting closer and closer to the climax.
The woman just grabbed my hand with a more genuine smile.
“The man thought rumors about wishes were absurd. But the more the man’s colleagues died, the more the man became obsessed with the wish. Because that was the only hope left for a man. It was the last hope for a man to remain sane.”
I tried to shake off her hand, but for some reason I couldn’t move.
“The man who reached the top of the tower despaired. He had the right to make a wish, but wishes had limits. Because he is a man, he can’t possibly bring back those who have been sacrificed.”
I felt like my body was stiffened like a frog in front of a snake.
“… ….”
I quickly shook off the woman’s hand.
I was able to shake off the woman’s hand because I used my body strengthening ability very lightly.
As I gently touched my wrist, I realized that it was blowing a little reddish. How the hell did you hold on tight?
“What did the despairing man wish for?”
“What is your purpose in telling me this?”
“Aren’t you curious?”
“What the hell is that?”
This woman.
It stimulates me from beginning to end.
I don’t know if I really regressed or foreknowledge, but I’m scratching my nerves and peeking at the reaction.
I don’t know what the purpose of these actions is, but that doesn’t matter now.
Because I have so many questions to ask of that woman.
“I’m sorry. Come to think of it, I didn’t introduce myself.”
The woman stood up from her seat with her refreshing smile.
She looked up at the night sky for a moment and the woman revealed her own name in her sonorous voice.
And I couldn’t help but be surprised.
I expected it to some extent, but it was hard to hide my surprise when I heard it myself.
“My name is Adeline Paul Charter.”
A woman standing tall under the moonlight and looking down at me.
The ends of her light brown hair began to be dyed with moonlight little by little, and before she knew it, her entire hair was painted in a gorgeous blonde color.
It wasn’t just that.
The woman’s face changed little by little like clay, and suddenly she turned into the same face as the woman in my memory.
“I am the Seongcheonnyeo of the Seongchun Church. And… ….”
Smiles.
“I am your biggest fan.”
