Episode 171: A photo of cheerful people

* * *

The moment when Cheon Do-woon was confronting government agents.

The siblings stood by the window, watching the outside with sharp eyes.

The bird’s characteristic golden eyes flashed in the dark room. The group swallowed dryly at the eerie atmosphere.

Of course, it wasn’t because I was worried about Cheon Do-woon or the siblings.

What they were worried about was the lives of the intruders.

‘I hope no one gets seriously hurt.’

Will the invaders be able to return alive?

The group listened to the conversation outside. Since they were all Awakened, they could hear the conversation going on outside.

A sense of silence flowed in the room. Cheon Do-woon broke the tense atmosphere.

“The tripod is a dodak. Just remember that for now.”

Why did he suddenly hear something like that? Yoo-beom almost burst out laughing at the unexpected turn of events.

“Khuh… Ugh.”

I covered my mouth to muffle the sound, but my shoulders shook in response.

‘Why all of a sudden? Why the timing now… I’m screwed. I remember the best article I saw earlier.’

The dodaki is the main body.

The hand master is the pedestal.

Dodaki’s tripod.

Yoo Beom glanced out the window.

The bird’s eyesight caught Cheon Do-un laughing.

Oh, I really like that nickname.

Yoo Beom couldn’t hold on and fell. He lay on the floor, his body shaking.

Next to her, Yujia, who had collapsed a while ago, was swaying in the same pose.

The tense atmosphere had already disappeared.

‘Come on, calm down. Stop laughing.’

Yoo Beom took a deep breath and raised his head.

In front of him was Seok Woo-hyuk, who had fallen in the same manner.

Nam Ki-seok was also lying down. Number 49 was on the sofa with his face buried in the cushion.

Their bodies were all trembling.

“Why you too… .”

Yoo Beom almost burst out laughing again.

I barely managed to cover my mouth, but I couldn’t help but bang my head on the floor to keep from laughing.

Laughter is contagious.

They burst into silent laughter whenever they saw each other’s condition.

Now it was hard to tell whether Dodak was laughing because he remembered the tripod or because they found each other funny.

“Ugh… Stop it now. My, my stomach hurts.”

Yoo Beom, who was writhing on the floor, said.

After a while, he stood up and gestured to Nam Ki-seok.

“Is there a back door here?”

“Yes. There is… Hehe. There is.”

Nam Ki-seok barely calmed down and nodded.

“Then, grab the kids’ shoes and go out the back door.”

Yoo Beom said as he handed the return stone to Nam Ki Seok.

You can’t use the return stone indoors, so you have to go outside.

“You guys go to Cheondoun’s house first. Those chimera brats aren’t good at fighting. If you accidentally bump into them, you’ll get hurt.”

“I agree with avoiding fights, but… is that okay? If I break the Return Stone, it will glow and I’ll be discovered.”

“No problem. Yujia and I can go out and attract attention.”

Yoo Beom said, “I was filmed by people in the slums, but that wasn’t a problem either.

The current Yoo Beom had a new head shape. Yoo Ji Ah was wearing a bone helmet.

It was dark at night, so there was no chance of being caught.

“Well, if it’s too much trouble, just push it all away. Take it easy.”

It was a heartfelt yet eerie statement. Nam Ki-seok nodded with an awkward smile.

The group gathered their shoes and went out the back door. Nam Ki-seok checked to see if anyone was missing and was the last to leave.

“If we stand in front of them, they will go back when they have a chance.”

“Yes. Then please.”

Nam Ki-seok prepared to break the return stone.

The siblings who were to become bait spread their wings to fly.

Dodaki’s tripod. Cheon Do-un’s new identity and title.

Park Soo-kwon was embarrassed when he heard that.

The same goes for the agents who were excited to hear the names of their heroes.

‘Oh, a tripod? What’s that?’

Tripod. A three-legged stand for supporting something.

What Cheon Do-woon was talking about wasn’t the tripod they knew.

The agents thought so. There’s no way he would say something like that with such a serious face.

‘Then is it some kind of title?’

I don’t know. I’ve never heard of such a title. They thought about it and came to one conclusion.

‘You can’t tell us your name.’

I don’t know what a tripod is, but that’s the conclusion I came to.

‘That’s right. He’s someone who has lived quietly away from the secular world. He must have been through a lot since the old days.’

Maybe they’re saying that because they don’t want to get involved with the government. They nodded with a look of understanding.

Park Soo-kwon coughed in vain, thinking that he should not ask any more questions.

“Uh, anyway. We’ve detected a danger nearby. We need to search, so please cooperate…”

“Captain! Look up!”

Park Soo-kwon’s words were interrupted by someone’s shout.

A brother and sister were flying in the sky. They were flying low on purpose to make themselves visible.

The agents’ faces turned pale at the sight of him blatantly exuding energy.

“Hey, wait a minute. What is that… doesn’t it look like the master of the northern seas?”

“A flying machine with two people in its human form… There’s no way such a monster could exist.”

“That’s right. They are the masters of the northern seas.”

The agents were nervous.

Park Soo-kwon, who knew the siblings’ true identity, opened his mouth for another reason.

‘Those guys were the masters of the northern seas?’

I didn’t know. I’d met the siblings several times inside the gate, but there was so much nonsense there that I couldn’t think normally.

‘Why were the sea kings in the forest area!’

Park Soo-kwon broke out in a cold sweat. His gaze turned to Cheon Do-woon.

What on earth is the author’s true identity that allows him to be so comfortable with such big shots?

I don’t know. Living inside the gate is an action that breaks common sense in the first place.

At this point, it seemed like it would be acceptable to say that Cheon Do-woon was actually the ruler of the demon world.

Meanwhile, the siblings showed off their strength without hesitation to attract attention.

That alone caused a whirlwind. The ground shook and dirt flew up.

“What, what kind of power is this…?”

The agents lost their will to fight back.

Although they were all thoroughly trained, their knees trembled in the face of primal fear.

To others, it looked like a near-death situation. In the midst of it all, only Cheon Do-woon was smiling.

‘Master of the Northern Seas. I didn’t know you were called that.’

It’s a nice title, but it’s not as good as a tripod.

Cheon Do-woon secretly liked the title that was given to him.

‘The siblings showed up like that… Are they buying time for the kids to run away?’

Cheon Do-woon looked around the villa.

As expected, a blue light emerged from behind the building and then disappeared.

‘I guess everyone has returned.’

Well then, there’s no need for any more aerial shows. Let’s give the signal to stop.

Cheon Do-woon showed off his energy like his siblings.

The mana that was usually hidden exploded out and surrounded the surroundings.

It was a signal that it was time to stop.

It was a signal to the siblings, but to the agents, it had another meaning, a force that made them lose their will to fight.

‘What the heck is that guy…!’

It’s different from when he showed his healing power in Gold City.

The agents’ legs gave out from the eerie chill that chilled them to their bones. They looked at Cheon Do-woon with their mouths open.

The siblings soared into the sky at Cheon Do-un’s signal. They flew at high speed and disappeared.

“I… survived.”

Someone muttered. Still, there was no cheering like in Gold City.

They looked at Cheon Do-woon with blank faces.

In the face of the siblings’ immense power, they felt despair that they would not be able to return alive.

Cheon Do-woon, who had been blocking that power without a care, felt like he had an insurmountable wall.

“Go, thank you.”

One of the agents spoke to Cheon Do-woon.

To those who didn’t know that this was all a farce, Cheon Do-woon seemed like a hero.

Park Soo-kwon, who knew the truth, was the only one who could only groan, frowning.

Cheon Do-woon looked around and took out the return stone.

‘My siblings must have returned from somewhere by now. I think I should go back too.’

He was about to break the return stone when he saw Park Soo-kwon. When he gestured to him, Park Soo-kwon approached him, hesitating.

“Father, did you call?”

“Yeah. There must have been chimeras in the slums today. Find out where they were made.”

“Am I the one talking?”

“Yeah. You don’t like it?”

If you say no, it looks like it will fold in half. Park Soo-kwon nodded his head knowingly.

“I will look into it.”

“Okay. There’s a high chance that it’s a chimera created by an illegal laboratory. Look into that too.”

“yes.”

Park Soo-kwon nodded again.

That’s how Cheon Do-un returned. Park Su-kwon looked at the place where he disappeared with a dejected face.

What on earth did those living inside the gate do when they came all the way here?

‘It looks like a barbecue party.’

Traces of a barbecue party remained in the unkempt garden.

A barbecue party of disaster-level monsters. I couldn’t imagine it just by hearing it.

‘Surely that roasted thing isn’t a person.’

Even though I knew that it couldn’t be true, a cold sweat ran down my back.

* * *

Cheon Do-woon opened the gate and arrived home.

The group that had arrived earlier were sitting around a table in the yard.

In the center was the laptop that Nam Gi-seok had brought.

“What are you doing?”

“Oh, bro! We’re all choosing photos together right now.”

“picture?”

“Yes. I was looking at an occult site earlier and this came to mind. There’s a picture I took a while ago that they said I could put on the internet.”

Nam Ki-seok turned his laptop towards Cheon Do-woon.

There was a photo of the Coconut Family enjoying tea time.

“I remember. Now that I think about it, I took the picture at that time.”

A photo taken together in the yard.

Because of the backlight, the faces of the group were not visible. The photo was quite dark, with only silhouettes captured… .

“Does it look gloomy?”

Yoo Beom asked. It certainly seemed that way.

“Especially here. The damp, hanging spiderwebs in the house are a focal point.”

Yujia pointed to the house in the background.

“No. This rib dome is the point. Because of the backlight, the whole thing is black, but the luminous stones embedded here shine.”

It looks like hundreds of eyes, said Yoo Beom, pointing to the rib dome.

As each person in the group spoke their opinion, Kim Na-ri raised her hand.

“I think Uncle Sparrow has a cool haircut! It looks like a bird!”

Kim Na-ri pointed to the criminal in the photo. The eagle-shaped head was captured in a dark silhouette.

“Goat Queen Sister’s wings are also cool!”

The feathers on the edge shine and stand out due to the backlight.

When they were combined, a bizarre picture was created.

“Don’t you think it would get a good response if you posted it on that occult site? Which one do you like the best?”

“Well, they all look similar.”

To Cheon Do-woon’s blind eyes, that seemed to be the case.

Cheon Do-woon chose the photo that was taken most stably among several photos.

“Then let’s do this.”

“Everyone is choosing this. Then I’ll do this. I’m planning on uploading it as soon as I get home. What should I title the post?”

Nam Ki-seok opened his notepad.

There were title candidates written there, one by one, suggested by each member of the group.

-Everyone’s home

-Snack time for the Coconut Family

-Sometime in the yard

“Everyone is having a hard time because they don’t have anything that they like. Brother, please come up with a title that suits the photo.”

Nam Ki-seok handed the laptop to Cheon Do-woon. Cheon Do-woon, sitting in front of him, thought about it for a while before putting his hands on the keyboard.

The serious eagle typing style pressed the keys firmly.

He showed the group the completed title without a single typo.

“This is….”

There was silence for a moment.

The first to react were the siblings. Yoo Beom and Yoo Ji Ah’s mouths went up.

“Are you okay?”

I laughed 49 times too.

“I guess there will be a reaction.”

Seok Woo-hyeok also nodded. Cheon Do-woon looked at the title he had written.

【Tea Time for TDA Victims】

It’s not a title with a bright meaning at all.

But no one made a dark expression upon seeing this passage.

Instead, I laughed.

Just because you’re a victim doesn’t mean you’ll live a depressed life forever.

They were all walking through the time enjoying tea time and laughing.

Of course, Cheon Do-woon did not give it the title for such emotional reasons.

“It’s time to throw out some new bait.”

Following the 17th remains, even a meaningful photo is being spread.

Because of the anonymity of the Internet, there will likely be a greater response than at an auction.

Nam Ki-seok raised his hand after observing the atmosphere.

“I will upload the ID as ‘Dodaki Tripod’!”

Cheon Do-woon laughed.

The ID name to be posted on the site has been decided.
