Parallel World Academy - Parallel World Academy chapter 105
Episode 105 Post-processing.(1)
* * *
The long journey has come to an end.
The time that actually passed was less than a week, so it was a time that could never be considered long, but for me, it was an eternal time, so there was no other way to express it.
Instead, I got the price I paid for my hard work, so I didn’t say it was disappointing.
“I’m glad things went well.”
“That’s right.”
“Wait, don’t open it. I’ll check first before I go in.”
Contrary to what seemed to be a cautious approach, Nihilis did not hesitate to open the door.
At the same time, a figure similar to mine attacked us.
Fortunately, it became flesh and separated before it even made eye contact with me.
“That’s why you shouldn’t let go of tension until the last minute. I don’t know until I see it.”
“… thank you.”
I just thought my heart was going to stop.
Had it not been for Nihilis, I would have disappeared from this world along with the doppelganger.
“Nihilis. His real name is Samir Clark. Born in South Africa, the current leader of the Purple Knights. I wondered what kind of bullsh*t could do something like this, but if you were behind it, it seems possible.”
Clearly, Leon’s appearance resembled Priscilla a lot.
As you can tell just by looking at what he said, his personality was completely different.
After all, there is no law that says that siblings have similar personalities.
“If you know who I am, you know enough that any further resistance is pointless.”
“I know. I won’t do anything stupid, so please take your sword away.”
“So, why did you do this?”
“I will not lie. It was simply because I couldn’t believe it.”
It was a very unfair situation for me, but it wasn’t that I couldn’t understand his feelings.
Because Leon was the only person who sacrificed his youth for the sake of Cosmos.
It was understandable that Cosmos was the one who threw away even himself as if he had devoted himself to him, so that he could hardly trust others.
“If it were, they would have abandoned us and chose to run away.”
“It was also a test. If I knew what it meant to help me, I wouldn’t have gotten caught up in such shallow numbers. Please forgive my rudeness.”
“That makes sense. I don’t need an apology. If you’re going to do it, do it to this guy.”
Leon looked at me with an unfavorable look.
I don’t know what’s causing so many complaints.
I just need to say thank you.
“sorry. Park Seong-jin.”
“it’s okay. By the way, do you know me?”
“You know, because you’re famous.”
Was I that famous?
Unique abilities, rapid growth, and even a clown temperament.
I agree that it deserves the attention of a lot of people, but I didn’t think the Cosmos Special Forces was the type of person to look out for.
“I didn’t know Cosmos would be interested in me.”
“Those with time-related ideas are always paying attention at Cosmos. I don’t pay much attention to it because it has a personality that doesn’t fit into a group that values confidentiality, but I tend to do a basic investigation in advance. You never know when you will need it. Besides, you gave me a biological sample.”
I forgot.
I gave Leon a biological sample.
It goes without saying that the foreknowledge of the future is the ability to covet any group.
“That’s right, thinking about it, it was an obvious story.”
“Why did you help me? You must know that I am not a very reliable person.”
“I know. I know he was framed.”
“Did you plan such a dangerous thing just for that reason?”
“It’s not just about that. I highly value Uncle. I just thought it was a waste to throw it away.”
It wasn’t something he said to please Leon.
He really has the potential to do that.
Just as you can’t ignore the vibe that comes out of time, the experience of a person named Leon is of great value that cannot be converted into money.
Of course, Nihilis is also someone with a lot of experience, but it’s hard to compare it to Leon’s.
He simply has a lot of experience in direct combat, and he doesn’t have as much experience in special warfare as Leon.
“Thank you for your high rating.”
“Another reason is that your sister is my girlfriend.”
“… Are you talking about Priscilla?”
“Yeah, who else is there?”
“It’s been a while since I haven’t seen her.”
“Priscilla also wants to see you.”
He spoke harshly, but Leon also seemed to miss his family.
Well, it reminds me of family faces.
Hit it, hit it, run away, you probably wouldn’t be able to even go near your family.
“I want to go back to my family. If I do that, it will only cause trouble to my family, so I just don’t.”
“I don’t want to continue living like this.”
“Then what should I do? Cosmos abandoned me, and I don’t want to go back there either. Even if they go back, they will be used as discard cards, or they will remain tied to the cosmos forever. Unless we solve the initial number.”
initial number?
That’s right, why didn’t I think of that?
It would have been better if I had told you this way earlier.
“You know. You just have to solve the initial number.”
initial number.
The reason why the organization called Cosmos was formed, and the mission that we consider our top priority.
It is one of the few missions openly conducted by a group called Cosmos, which is dotted with secrets, and provides special benefits to those who perform or solve the mission.
As this is the most difficult mission, none of the missions have been completed so far.
“You want to apply for Initial Number? Wouldn’t it be better to just tell him to commit suicide?”
“No.5, codenamed ‘Avalanche’, will have its mission closed within a few years. As long as you put a spoon on it, you can be free.”
“It is true that the members who are performing Initial Number have immunity, and it is also true that if you can solve that, you can gain freedom. But, how do I believe you? In particular, Avalanche is a mission with no progress for decades.”
“Would you believe me if I said I would join the mission?”
Avalanche’s mission is to find the whereabouts of the famous villain, ‘John Scott’, who disappeared in the past and eliminate them.
Since the last place John was observed was Antarctica, people were hunting for Antarctica, but he had already escaped Antarctica and fled to South America for a long time.
Of course, that doesn’t mean he went while enjoying heavenly beasts.
Due to old age and disease, he could not even resist, and he met his end in the Andes Mountains.
It wasn’t an important case in the movie, so I forgot to mention that it was solved by Cosmos, but thanks to Leon, I remembered it.
“This is not a mission for a guy like you to try. It’s a task that even I can’t afford. This is not a matter of being afraid. It’s a question of difficulty. Just because I’ve made a name for myself in the past doesn’t mean I’m ready to challenge the initial number.”
“What’s the difference between being scared and being scared? Don’t do it if you don’t want to. I’ll do it myself later. You can just keep running around like that.”
It’s a natural story, but I don’t have the slightest desire to do such a job.
I am not a person who obeys orders well, nor am I strong enough to survive in a hell where the temperature drops below minus 70 degrees Celsius.
It’s just a sound to entice Leon.
“There’s no point in flirting like that.”
“If you stay there like a frozen human for just three or three years, you can return to your family. There is no need for a life-threatening bloodbath. It only takes a few rounds of patrol and it’s over. Are you sure you won’t? Did I risk my life all the way here to try to save a stranger?”
Of course, there is no logic in this story.
It just appeals to emotions and loyalty.
Although he looks cold-blooded at first glance, Leon is actually a character full of loyalty.
If he had been really cold-blooded, he wouldn’t have grieved over the deaths of his fellow crew members.
“I will tell you one last time. I trusted you and gave you a biological sample. He said that he gave me a weakness so he could kill me at any time. When it comes to the stories of such a person, isn’t it credible at least once? If this were the case, I would have lived a life without hope.”
Leon began to make a worried expression on his face.
It seems to have had an effect by hitting the jaws hard.
“If I were to be free, what would I ask for?”
“I will hire you. I’m going to roll it until I die, so don’t worry.”
“Do you have the money for that?”
“Look at this guy. It’s not a sign that you should put out a bag after you rescued the drowning guy.”
It was a light joke thrown to lighten the mood, but it seems to have worked quite well.
It was because the frozen expression on his face loosened, and he uttered a faint smirk.
Either Nihilis or Leon.
“I’d rather be honest.”
“So, are you doing the Avalanche mission? Are you drinking?”
“Can you guarantee that I will be safe?”
“It is possible to guarantee that Priscilla will be safe.”
This was the most honest answer I could come up with.
Sometimes it is necessary to lie to make a bold decision, but it was better not to do so at this negotiating table.
First of all, I’m not the type of person who likes to lie that much.
“Okay, I will do as you say.”
“Then you should take a good rest until you start your mission. If you go to Antarctica, you will have a hard time.”
“I don’t really like it, but it would be right to say thank you.”
“Say thanks to Priscilla. It’s because my sister survived on the hillside.”
It was a cocky attitude, but I think I deserve it.
Why?
You agreed to follow me.
So, now I’m saying I’m a gangster.
Half a joke, though.
“I know one thing for sure. The fact that you were the one who came up with this plan.”
“why?”
“I wanted to be able to spit out shameless voices in situations like this. It’s not something that both of them would do if they had a good brain.”
“I think I’m pretty cool.”
Taken from n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
Mental hair?
That kind of thing wasn’t properly embedded in the world of the novel before it was possessed.
After possessing, more Mattangi just went away.
I don’t have anything to lose anyway, so there must have been something to save myself.
It’s just a rough living.
“Yeah, just leave your number and go. I’ll call you later.”
Of course, what I left behind was not my number.
Priscilla’s number.
The first call was in the sense that it would be better to do it with my family.
If you contact Priscilla anyway, you’ll know my number.
Wishing you two to have a touching reunion by all means, I left.
“Even Priscilla will be dating a man a little bit. In fact, like that… .”
* * *
“Thank you for your hard work, Master.”
“No worries. It’s been a while since I’ve visited my hometown, and I met William at that time. It was just a trip to me.”
“Next time, I’ll try to help.”
“Not required. Instead, just ask one question. I would like to ask if you know anything about the number 7 of the initial number, Everlasting.”
When I say Everlasting, I mean Jinjo… .
Jinjo and Nihilis wouldn’t have any relationship?
“I know, but what are you up to?”
“I was friends with him for a long time. From what you know, it looks like he’s still alive. I’ll see you someday.”
“You know that maniac?”
That’s weird.
No matter how you look at it, Jinjo and Nihilis aren’t the kind of person to get along well.
“It’s crazy. He had a more rational and gentle personality than anyone else.”
“Aren’t you talking about Jinjo?”
“not. What I am talking about is the Phoenix.”
Phoenix?
The phoenix must be old enough to eat lunch just like me for a while now.
He hadn’t even developed his imagination yet.
“Phoenix must be my age now.”
“In the end, it looks like he didn’t die again. Poor guy.”
“Can you explain so I can understand what you mean?”
“No need to worry. Because it’s just an outdated rant. If you happen to meet the phoenix later, please tell me my name. You will be able to hear more details.”
Obviously, the phoenix was a phoenix that was characterized by dying and resurrecting, wasn’t it?
It seems that he and Nihilis knew each other before reincarnation.
In the process of reincarnation, Jinjo was replaced with the current No.7.
“I don’t know if that will ever happen.”
“You will know that then. For now, let’s go It’s almost time for takeoff.”
“I’ll see you next time.”
He nodded once lightly, then disappeared as quickly as he had been there.
I am amazed every time I see it.
How can you move so fast?
By the way, phoenix… .
He’s a very strong person, so he’s someone I want to be close to, but he doesn’t have any contact with me.
It would have been nice if we could get to know each other, but I’m sorry.
I will try to summarize the events and thoughts that have occurred.
… Unfortunately, the retrospective didn’t last long.
It was because I was so tired, because I fell asleep without realizing it.
Naturally, I couldn’t even answer a few calls to my cell phone.
