Episode 81
“No, Nova! Calm down and put that thing down!”
Firefighters and police officers slowly backed away, blocking the employees’ path.
Haon nodded with a tired look after confirming that some distance had been created.
“I think this will suffice.”
Then he turned to the building that was repeatedly changing shape and then returning to normal, and cut off the flow of mana.
Kururung─.
The hero headquarters, which was a landmark of the central district, collapsed as if it had been waiting for it.
Haon rubbed his temples with a look of determination to live.
“Oh, I’m so hungry… … .”
But that wasn’t the end of it.
Kwaaang!
The bombs in the server room exploded simultaneously, creating a deafening roar and shaking the ground.
“Ugh… … !”
The staggering Ha-on was held firmly by both sides.
[Haon! The debris of the building is flying towards our current location!]
“… … !”
Haon, who realized that the power of the explosion was much stronger than expected, quickly checked the composition of the ground he was standing on and gave instructions.
“Blue!”
Kugu Palace─.
Outside the dust-obscured field of vision, the sound of large and small rocks crashing could be heard.
As the noise died down and the thick dust settled, people’s eyes widened.
The ground rose up like a wall, blocking the way ahead.
Haon, who had cleared his surprised chest, returned the wall back to the ground beneath his feet.
At the same time, what was revealed was the miserable sight of the Hero Headquarters in ruins.
“Look, headquarters… …!”
“oh my god…….”
People stared blankly at the ruins.
Hero Headquarters wasn’t just a building.
It was their workplace and sense of mission, a focal point that brought together the heroes who protected the city, and a landmark whose mere presence gave reassurance to the citizens.
It wasn’t just the heroes who struggled to protect the city.
The workshop where the engineers made all kinds of equipment and the vast amount of data that the information gathering team had accumulated over the years disappeared in an instant.
People who were looking at the empty space where the headquarters was built with empty eyes turned their gazes toward Nova one by one.
To be exact, with the bazooka he was holding.
“You made a hole in the wall of the headquarters with that bazooka. Nova was also holding the unconscious Hunter.”
“It’s clear that they took advantage of the gap the heroes had left for the old city.”
People raised their voices and raised their blood vessels.
“Did you think you could just blow up the hero headquarters and get away with it?”
“Just because you destroy the headquarters doesn’t mean the heroes will disappear!”
As Nova, who had been blankly watching them, smiled and raised his bazooka, Haon hurriedly blocked his way.
“That’s not what Nova is like.”
“babe…….”
When Nova pretended to be overly impressed, Juyeol grumbled quietly, “Why do you keep defending Nova?”
“Then is that what Dr. Eun did? It seems like he used some strange technique.”
“Aren’t you going to experiment on headquarters?”
“It wasn’t Dr. Eunhaon’s doing.”
It was Hunter who appeared through the clamor of the employees.
It seemed like she had finally come to her senses after colliding with concrete debris and colliding with it.
The hunter frowned and rubbed the back of his head as he spoke to the staff at headquarters.
“Bae An-jae, a psychological counselor at Kwon Young Rehabilitation Center. Arrest him immediately.”
“Huh? Isn’t that person dead?”
“Yes. He’s dead. To be exact, find a man with Bae An-jae’s face. Or call him a twin.”
The employee looked puzzled, but went to the police and explained the whole story.
“Sane people should first check if other employees are okay and look around for any suspicious activity.”
Everyone was confused about what was going on, but for now they followed the hunter’s instructions.
When only Haon, Juyeol, Nova, and Hunter were left, Hunter opened his mouth again.
“Dr. Eunhaon. I’d like to talk to you about something that happened at headquarters.”
“I want to do that too… … really… … but there’s a limit… … .”
But Ha-on, who was answering hesitantly as if he couldn’t bear it any longer, fell forward.
“Hey, Eunhaon!”
“Honey. If you sleep anywhere, you’ll be in big trouble.”
This time Nova was faster.
Ha-on, who was sleeping with her back bent in his arms, looked visibly exhausted.
As Nova tried to leave, Juyeol gave her a cold gaze.
“Stop talking nonsense and go straight to the lab. Or go to Area 1.”
“We are very interested in ourselves.”
The two exchanged a strange, sharp look and then quickly turned their heads.
Joo-yeol met the eyes of the hunter who was staring at him.
The Hunter didn’t seem to care whether the crazy villain couple left the scene or not.
“Ghost. You─”
“I have something to say too.”
Before the hunter could finish speaking, Juyeol took out a piece of paper from his bosom.
“What is this?”
* * *
When I opened my heavy eyes, all I could see was snow-white hair and sparkling golden eyes.
“… … pretty.”
“Enough to fall in love?”
Haon, who had been mumbling in a hushed voice, came to his senses at Nova’s playful words.
“… … !”
“Honey. Did you sleep well?”
It was only then that I realized I was playing with the ends of Nova’s braided hair, and that I was lying with my head on his lap.
Haon sat up in surprise.
“This is the District 1 office… … ?”
I looked around in bewilderment and found Chacha and Bunny sitting across from me on the sofa.
Haon, who had been blankly blinking, suddenly asked Nova.
“What about Juyeol?”
“… …Why is it so annoying?”
Nova pinched Haon’s cheek and pulled it so that it didn’t hurt, then smiled brightly.
“Should I tell those guys who can’t read the mood and have no tact to go home?”
“Huh?”
Then, Bunny, who was half-hiding behind Chacha’s shoulder, shouted bravely.
“Don’t go! You know what I’m going to do to you!”
“What do you think he’ll do?”
Chacha kicked the table at Nova’s subtle tone.
“What nonsense are you talking about in front of a child!”
Haon looked at the three people bickering in bewilderment and then plugged his phone into the charger.
And then I looked down at my clothes, thinking that I should wash them because they must have been covered in so much dirt, and I was startled.
‘Hey, what’s this! Why did the clothes change?’
Someone washed me and even changed my clothes.
‘Could it be Nova… …?’
When he looked at Nova with a bewildered expression, he smiled meaningfully.
“… … !”
As Ha-on froze with his face turned pale, Cha-cha stomped his foot on the table and shouted.
“I did it! I just washed and changed her. There was no way I could lay her down.”
“Chacha!”
Haon, relieved, looked back at her with a moved expression.
It was surprising that when ‘Eunhaon’ died, Chacha, who had gone out to drink, personally took care of me when I collapsed.
But Chacha’s expression was a little strange.
If I think about her in her usual way, I would expect her to be grateful and expect something in return, but she didn’t even make eye contact.
His face was dark, as if something was bothering him.
“Chacha. What’s wrong?”
“… … .”
Chacha opened her mouth with her eyes fixed on the wall with a thoughtful expression on her face.
“Who are you?”
“… … ?”
As Haon blinked with a bewildered expression, Nova, who had been staring at Chacha, got up from her seat.
“Okay. I won’t interrupt your fun conversation. I’ll go check out Area 1, so have a good time.”
Then he smiled brightly at Haon and left the office.
Haon looked back and forth between Chacha and Bani with eyes that still seemed to have no idea what was going on. Bani also had a puzzled look on his face.
“I thought it was strange all along.”
Chacha met Haon’s eyes and muttered softly as if talking to herself.
“Even if people are crazy, they can’t be this different.”
“……uh?”
Haon realized it when he saw those eyes. He was gradually realizing that he was not ‘Eunhaon’.
“Who are you, really? Where is the real Eunhaon?”
“Oh, how did you know?”
“Chacha unnie? Haon unnie? What are you two talking about?”
When Bunny asked in confusion, Chacha pointed to Haon’s side.
“Bunny. What’s on Eunhaon’s waist?”
“Waist? You mean the tattoo covering an old scar?”
“… … !”
Haon put his hand on his waist, which he had sewn himself, with a surprised expression. It was the spot where the bomb fragments that had exploded inside the dimensional gate had lodged.
“Yeah, there. When I was cleaning your body, I noticed that you had no tattoos, only scars. And they’re not that old.”
“Even this scar was the same?”
As he muttered in a dazed manner, Bunny grabbed Chacha’s arm.
“Sister! What are you talking about? Are you saying that Sister Haon is… … not Sister Haon?”
“Bunny. Have you ever thought it was strange? Have you ever felt too unfamiliar with Eunha-on after she lost her memory?”
“That’s… … . But… … .”
“Oh, that’s right.”
Haon cut through Bunny’s worries, who was looking embarrassed.
“I’m not the ‘Eunhaon’ you knew. I’m sorry for lying to you. Even if I told you the truth, I don’t think you’d believe me… … .”
“Wh, what.”
As Bunny gaped in shock, Chacha looked Haon up and down.
“Is the real Eunhaon dead like I witnessed that day?”
“That’s true, but I’m also real!”
Haon suddenly got up in a fit of rage.
“There is no fake. I just come from somewhere else… … .”
Then, unable to continue speaking due to the gazes of the two people, I sat down again. They were both looking at me with eyes that said they couldn’t understand me.
Haon was embarrassed by the unexpected sadness.
‘Ah… … . I’ve become attached to you.’
