You Didn’t Tell Me the Start of My Transmigration Was a Gate - Chapter 370

Special side story episode 9

This is a losing fight from the start.

To me before regression.

Because I know exactly what I thought and how I fought before I returned.

On the other hand, the other person will not be able to imagine what I went through after the regression.

Besides, before I returned, I wouldn’t have wanted to kill a UN official and cause trouble… That would make the story easier.

Crunch.

“Put the gun down.”

It wasn’t a coincidence that I was pointing a gun at my temple before I regressed.

“… … .”

“get off.”

I said, wiping the blood flowing down my jawline with my sleeve. At those words, my pre-regression self raised both hands as if to surrender.

I glanced around and saw that the fight between the two of us had left everything in shambles. The already desolate city had become like a ruined house, with several buildings on the verge of collapse.

Ugh. I didn’t intend for this to be such an intense battle.

It can’t be helped. Since both of them use spatial interference, they fought while changing locations countless times.

“How did you do it?”

“what.”

“… Did you copy the note?”

Before returning, my gaze fell on my note. A clone? If you think about it, this one is the real one.

“No. It’s just a real note.”

“That’s nonsense….”

“I have no connection with the United Nations, and neither does I, Lee Yun-woo. There can’t be two people as talented as Camelot.”

“… … .”

Before I returned, I squinted my eyes as if I was assessing something.

“… Is it the power of the item that moves as if predicting my path?”

“That was exactly what I predicted.”

Because… you know my fighting patterns exactly.

“Who the hell are you?”

Finally, we get to the main point.

It’s late to say this now, but I had some problems with my personality before I returned.

Of course, it is understandable to be nervous when we are facing a crisis that threatens the survival of humanity.

Even before I returned, wasn’t I burning my whole body to avenge my teacher, that is, my older sister Hye-won?

Thinking about it that way, I understood the reaction that day.

‘I think it’s a bit too much to only listen to someone after you’ve knocked them down.’

There have been many big losses due to various things. It makes sense. Even as the world rushed toward destruction, people were desperate to take care of their own interests.

Especially since the United Nations has been interfering with everything I’ve tried to do. If they’ve mistaken me for Camelot, they won’t be able to speak kindly.

After organizing my thoughts, I decided to tell the truth instead of telling shallow lies.

“I am you. You who came from a parallel world.”

“… … .”

My face before the regression was subtly distorted.

“You want me to believe that?”

“It may be hard to believe. Feel free to try it if you want. Should I read you Noite’s explanation?”

As I confidently came out, my face before the regression hardened. I looked like I was trying to figure out how to resolve this unexpected situation.

“At the Yeonhwado Gate.”

I brought out my oldest memory.

“I lost someone so precious.”

“… It’s not much of a secret that I lost my master.”

“It was my mistake.”

“!”

That was something no one could have known. Only the person involved.

I continued speaking with a bitter smile.

“I regret it countless times. If only I had moved a little faster, things might have been different. After stabbing Beelzebub with the Holy Sword, I should have administered first aid with the Holy Water.”

“… … .”

“I ruined everything because of my mistake.”

As my words continued, my pre-regression self made an expression as if I had been stabbed by a sword.

As if this hurts more than a gun pointed at my temple.

“How is it? Is this enough proof?”

“… We can’t rule out the possibility that it’s a monster that can read memories.”

You are so thorough.

“Follow me.”

I turned around to see myself before I returned.

“After I verify that you are a real person and that what you say is true, then we can talk again.”

It was a good deal for us. I don’t know what this S-class item wants, but there must be a reason why it sent me to this world.

‘If I follow the me before the regression, I might get some hints.’

When clearing the original gate, the basics are to wait near the main character.

As I followed behind before the regression, Lee Woon-woo, who was still observing the situation from a little distance, approached me.

“What on earth is going on?”

“It’s long, so to speak.”

“I have to explain everything. Everything.”

Lee Yun-woo opened his eyes wide and looked at me.

“You said this was in your ‘memory’. Not in your head, not in your dreams.”

I have to say that it was really amazing how he caught that word so quickly. I ended up nodding my head because he threatened not to even think about trying to muddle through.

***

The place I took us before returning was none other than the headquarters of the government office.

“I’m wearing this because it stands out.”

I had roughly wrapped the blanket I had given before returning, so things were a little better, but the hunters passing by still looked at us with strange eyes.

It was a time when the nickname “Blue Snake” suited him well, as he would look up and down with a bright smile on his face.

‘A lot has changed here too.’

After the return, the people in the building also smelled much more human than before.

On the other hand, the building here felt very different from the current headquarters building, which itself was very grand.

It was huge, but it had a bleak and somewhat dark atmosphere.

Before returning, I passed through the security checkpoint as if it were a given and took the elevator straight to the top floor without any special access badge.

It was much better than the devastated city I had seen earlier, but there were still traces of aging that could not be hidden here and there.

This was because there was neither time nor manpower to properly remodel and rebuild the building.

It was best to continue using the old, dilapidated building.

‘That’s how it was at that time.’

Of course, it was a much better situation than the average citizen who had to worry about even basic necessities. However, those on the front lines were equally uneasy.

The same was true for the headquarters, a huge guild that has now become one of the mainstays supporting humanity.

Swish.

The door opened and a man wearing a blue robe turned over appeared.

He saw me before my regression and twirled his pen as he spoke.

“Who is this?”

The tone was more cautious than welcoming.

“What brings you all this way? You usually don’t even come out unless you’re entering the gate.”

“The two behind me. Are they monsters?”

“What are you talking about out of the blue?”

“hurry.”

As I urged him before the return, the man looked at us with interest, making a sound like “Huh-.”

“No. He’s a human. But who’s that guy next to me? I’ve never seen him before. Where did you get this wizard? A foreign mission?”

“Magic. It doesn’t look like you used any magic to change your appearance?”

“I don’t know what you’ve been talking about since a while ago… but the only magic currently in effect is simple support magic.”

It was a chillingly accurate judgment. This side is still the same.

“… It’s true.”

I muttered in a trembling voice before my regression. I was probably half-convinced, but now that it was actually revealed to be true, I felt uneasy.

“So. Aren’t you going to introduce me to the guest you brought suddenly?”

“… … You’ll know just by looking at my face.”

“It looks like they brought a really famous hunter. Who could it be…? There probably aren’t many places that have the luxury of caring about our country right now.”

The corners of his mouth, glimpsed beneath his robe, formed a soft curve. Soon, the man stood up and pulled back his blue robe.

“Nice to meet you.”

A color that was impossible to confuse unfolded before my eyes.

It was a bit more mature and bolder than the face I was used to. The face with the smile on its face for public viewing was elegant, like a work of art painted with great care by an artist.

Her silver hair was slightly grown out and tied into a ponytail, and the blue magic stone hanging from one ear sparkled.

The boyish appearance disappeared slightly, and the empty space was replaced by seasoned experience and a heavy atmosphere.

“My name is Lee Yun-woo from Cheongsa.”

To be exact, it was Lee Yun-woo before his regression.

Even though it had been a long time since I had seen him, it felt much more unfamiliar. Did this man always smile like this?

The Lee Yun-woo I know was a person who knew how to smile much warmer than this.

The man had the look of a snake looking at its prey. He studied the opponent intently with his narrowed pupils, trying not to reveal his true intentions.

Feeling those gazes, I slowly took off my blanket.

The man’s smooth face seemed to turn red with an expression of astonishment that he could not hide.

“I’m Han Seo-ha. This is Lee Woon-woo.”

At my words, Lee Yun-woo also took off his blanket. The two faces, surprisingly similar, looked at each other.

Me and Lee Woon-woo before the regression look at me and Lee Woon-woo now.

Apart from the passage of time and the sharp atmosphere, their faces were undeniably similar.

“I came from another world and am staying here for a while.”

I said, taking the hand that Lee Yun-woo extended.

“Please take care of me until I return to my original world.”

“… … .”

Unusually, Lee Yun-woo’s smile was full of cracks.

The sight was so delightful that I couldn’t help but laugh.

I didn’t say that the beginning of the regression was the gate.
