Episode 80

Haon, who had been keeping his eyes tightly shut and maintaining concentration, glanced to the side.

Right where I had hoped, there was a large hole, looser than the others.

‘How on earth?’

As the dust settled, what emerged was a beautiful man with a bazooka slung over his shoulder.

“Hello, honey. Didn’t you miss me?”

Haon was so happy to see him that he almost cried.

“Nova! I missed you so much!”

Nova looked at Haon with a strange expression, wondering if it was not the reaction she had expected.

“Can you take care of the hunter for a bit? I have somewhere to go.”

Then, Haon tilted his head at what he said while dragging the hunter near the hole.

“Are you asking me to kill you?”

“No! You can’t kill me!”

“Where are you going, honey?”

“Juyeol will come and pick you up!”

“… … .”

Nova lifted the Hunter lightly like a piece of luggage and tossed him to the headquarter staff who had come in after hearing the explosion.

“No, Nova!”

“Take your captain with you. He’s not dead. Maybe?”

Then, he followed Ha-on as he ran inside the building.

Haon climbed the stairs while looking at the headquarters blueprints here and there.

As I was getting out of breath and my feet were getting weaker, I was carried up by Nova from the middle.

The 7th floor we arrived at was a long hallway with storage facilities.

Nova, who had put down Haon, opened his mouth with a look of displeasure.

“Honey. I came all the way here to save our boss, and this is what you’re doing? What on earth is your relationship with Ghost that makes you do this?”

“Well, that’s… … .”

Haon, who was about to answer, “Friend,” closed his mouth. Before he knew it, his feet had stopped.

The cosmic heat here is not ‘main heat’.

I think of myself as a friend of Juyeol, but I wonder if he thinks of me as a friend too. He just found out that I am a different person from ‘Eunhaon’.

Even though we weren’t friends, Joo-yeol was the most precious person to me in this dimension, but that was…

Haon looked back at Nova with a confused expression.

“I don’t know.”

Nova smiled brightly and grabbed Haon’s cheek, stretching it.

“What the heck!”

“I feel sick.”

“What the heck… … !”

Haon, embarrassed by his slurred pronunciation, pulled his hand away and stood in front of the first storage unit.

“Juyeol can’t get out of here. I don’t know what’s going on, but… … .”

After thinking for a moment, Haon hacked the panel himself without ordering Blue to do so.

Soon, the iron door opened with a creaking sound, revealing walls lined with iron bookshelves.

“This is… a maze?”

“Aha. This is a system that is activated when the headquarters’ security is compromised. There are traps everywhere, so it’s tricky.”

“Huh? How does Nova know that?”

“I got scammed once when I tried to take the materials here out.”

“… … .”

Haon looked at him with eyes that seemed to have a lot to say.

Soon, he realized that this meant that Juyeol had also tried to steal the materials from here, and he began to pound on the walls of the maze.

“Juyeol! Can you hear me?”

* * *

Juyeol jumped to avoid the harpoons shooting out from the ground.

‘What the heck did you install?’

There were almost no heroes at headquarters, and Hunter took advantage of the distraction of Haon to sneak into the first storage facility, but things got complicated.

Suddenly, a huge explosion was heard, the ground shook, and the storage facility literally turned into a maze.

Bookcases suddenly rose high and moved here and there, forming walls, and traps that we didn’t even know were there popped up here and there.

[I stopped the harpoon!]

If it weren’t for that mechanical hamster, there would have been several holes in my shoulder.

At that moment, a familiar voice was heard along with the sound of a knock on the wall.

“Juyeol! Can you hear me?”

“… … Galaxy?”

“That’s right! It’s me! Are you okay?”

“So far. Are you okay?”

“Me too, still!”

He took a step forward, knocking away the arrow fired from the bookshelf with the barrel of his gun.

“How did you get here?”

“I came to help you because it seemed like you couldn’t evacuate, but there’s nothing I can do for you.”

“Honey, let’s just go out.”

Joo-yeol, who had been chuckling, frowned at the voice that followed.

“Nova? Could it be that you caused this explosion?”

“No! That’s the terrorist we saw at the abandoned factory!”

Nova giggled and said as Haon made an excuse instead.

“I thought of a way to make the ghost come out quickly.”

“What is it?”

“I need your cooperation.”

“What are you trying to do?”

Nova answered calmly, oblivious to Juyeol’s fierce voice.

“What did you do every day with Dr. Eun?”

“……what?”

While he paused, a loud slapping sound was suddenly heard from beyond the wall.

“No, ugh. Sleep, yum!”

With the sound of Haon struggling.

“This crazy kid… … !”

Juyeol, whose fever rose to the tips of his hair, couldn’t quite remember how he got out of the storage room after that.

All I could think about was putting a bullet in Nova’s head right now.

He emerged from the maze, gun and knife in both hands, pushing through the last wall as if he were going to break it down.

Then Nova, who had been rubbing her lips on the back of Haon’s hand while covering Haon’s mouth, smiled broadly.

“See? You came out quickly, right?”

Haon pushed Nova away with his face red from the heat.

“No, I was surprised! The building almost collapsed!”

It was a way to stimulate the hero’s heroism or something. It was really dangerous because my concentration was blown away by Nova’s unexpected actions.

Fortunately, only one side of the building’s outer wall collapsed, but the headache was starting to wear off.

“Should I get out of here now… … ?”

Haon, who was looking at Nova and Juyeol, who were backing down obediently as he was pushed away, made a puzzled expression.

Nova looked at Juyeol with a proud expression, as if she had expected this.

The priest stood there with his gun pointed at Nova’s white head, his eyes fierce and his expression extremely murderous.

“Ghost. Why are you so angry? Are you and your lover even related?”

“Did you really turn around because you wanted to get a bullet put in your head? What kind of tricks are you doing to a kid who doesn’t know anything?”

Joo-yeol retorted sharply at Nova’s mocking words.

“What did I do? I was really going to do it, but I held myself back because I thought you might surprise me more.”

“Don’t get me wrong, Nova. It’s not that girl.”

A hot-tempered man said in a growling tone.

“This girl is not the girl you know.”

“… … Huh?”

But Nova’s reaction was different from what was expected.

That’s not a reaction of hearing a strange sound, nor is it a reaction of shock.

Juyeol suddenly realized something and lowered his gun and asked.

“… … Did you know?”

“… … Of course I knew it the moment I saw it. Unlike some people who don’t have any clue.”

“… … .”

“… … .”

The two men exchanged a strange glance, then simultaneously frowned.

“You know this kid is someone else, and you still act like that?”

“If Dr. Eun were someone else, would he be anything special to you?”

“oh.”

At that moment, the two people’s cold gaze quickly turned to Haon’s small exclamation.

Haon had his nose covered with his clothes, and blood was gradually spreading down the sleeves of his checked shirt.

“Galaxy On!”

“babe!”

The two approached Haon at the same time.

“Ugh. Let’s go quickly. My head feels like it’s going to burst.”

Not only was my headache a problem from continuing the endless calculation battle, but my phone battery was also running low.

Just because you have mana left doesn’t mean your battery is infinite.

Nova stretched out her arms to hug Haon without hesitation.

“Then I─”

“Hold on tight.”

But Juyeol was faster.

Haon hadn’t thought that he would be carried away by someone, but he didn’t have the energy to struggle, so he obediently wrapped his arms around his neck.

As Juyeol quickly started running down the stairs, Nova, who had been standing still with a dumbfounded expression, followed him with a wild laugh.

* * *

As we exited the building, the evacuees were murmuring.

“Isn’t that really Nova?”

“Is that what Nova did?”

“What kind of ability is this, anyway?”

When viewed from the inside, it looked the same, but from the outside, the outer wall was constantly changing its appearance, undulating like a cube.

Firefighters who had been dispatched after receiving the report were also gathered, but no one was able to enter the building due to the dangerous appearance of its outer walls shaking, and they were just observing the situation.

Ha-on, who had been staring intently at his phone screen to keep his concentration from wavering, got down from Ju-yeol’s arms.

“You have to get further away from the building. It’s going to collapse. There’s going to be another explosion.”

“What are you talking about? You and Nova planted a bomb in headquarters?”

“If you want to die, just stay here.”

Joo-yeol, who responded nervously to the head office staff’s words, tried to move while leading Ha-on.

“I’m really in danger! You shouldn’t be here. Stay away, everyone!”

However, Haon could not leave the people standing near the building alone.

Those who did not trust Dr. Eunhaon simply glared at her with eyes of distrust.

“Do you know what we’ll do here if we leave headquarters?”

“How did you know it would collapse? How would you know if it wasn’t all your doing!”

Nova, who was smiling prettily next to Haon, thrust the bazooka she had been holding at her side forward.

“Anyone curious how much it would hurt if you got hit with this?”

Only then did the people who had been lingering start to panic and retreat.
