Liberation (4)

A strange sensation that awakens the mind.

It didn’t take long before I realized I was dreaming.

“Somewhere here… .”

In my dream, I was wandering alone in a certain deep mountain… .

Looking at the strange plants growing all over the place, it didn’t seem like an ordinary mountain.

‘… Is it a gate?’

Besides the plants, there were many factors that could infer that the background of the dream was a gate.

I’m only going up the mountain, because it’s rare to have to dress up with all kinds of items.

In my dream, I was wearing items that looked rare even if I pretended to.

From earrings imbued with the protection of the wind, blood-stained golden amulets, and gloves of the god of death.

All of them were S-rank items that appeared in the original novel.

‘Did you get all that?’

In my dream, dressed like a well-known hunter, I was wandering through the mountains.

He soon reached a certain place and stopped walking.

“found.”

A large waterfall cascading through the deciduous pine trees.

The puddle created by the waterfall was transparent enough to see through the water, but it was so shallow that it only reached the ankles and at the same time it was very wide, giving it a mysterious feeling.

‘Why did you come here? ?’

In my dream, I thought I had come to play in the water, and without hesitation I stepped into the water and approached the waterfall.

And then… .

“Hmm… .”

He looked carefully over the falling waterfall, glanced over the waterfall, and threw himself into the water.

Tat-!

‘Huh?’

I thought I would hit the cliff as it was, but fortunately, thanks to the space, the worrying thing did not happen,

tuk- tuk-

In my dream, I lightly wiped off the water and moved around slowly looking around the inside of the oyster… .

Eventually, when they reached the end of the cave, a strange structure greeted them.

‘What is that?’

It felt as if only that part had been deliberately cut into a square in the middle of the rough, rough wall.

“Let’s see… .”

As if in my dream I knew what the structure was, I lifted my finger and started drawing something on the smooth wall.

Whoa, whoa… …

Then it started to shine brightly, leaving traces wherever I touched.

After drawing an unidentified picture, I slowly removed my hand and took a step back.

‘Did you draw the sun… ?’

That moment when I was questioning the unknown situation and carefully examining the paintings on the wall.

Kugugugugugugu… …

A vibration echoed inside the cave,

blatantly-

The smooth wall opens left and right like a coin locker, revealing a small space… .

‘… !’

When I checked the inside of the space, I was instantly startled.

Inside the wall was a pocket watch.

It was a golden pocket watch lavishly decorated with delicate craftsmanship.

‘This… .’

I knew what this pocket watch was.

No, I knew it, but it felt like I had completely forgotten it.

“… If only this… .”

In my dream, I uttered meaningful words and grabbed a golden pocket watch,

flash-

“hot… !”

I woke up suddenly, got up and looked around slowly.

Everywhere I looked, it was the back room of our house.

*

“… uh… .”

I went to the office a little earlier than usual, and I was searching through cases to find the gate I saw in my dream.

‘blue… . blue… .’

It is said that dreams are usually forgotten as time goes by… .

Strangely, this dream remained so clear,

I was searching through my memories to find the golden pocket watch I had seen in my dreams.

The golden pocket watch is a mysterious item that did not appear in the original novel ‘The Strongest Man’.

Therefore, there is a high probability that it is an insignificant item, but for some reason, I kept worrying about it.

“Whew… .”

However, it was not easy to find a specific gate with fragmentary information.

The only information I remember is unfamiliar grass and waterfalls.

Among them, I am looking for the keyword ‘blue flower’, and the number of cases in which blue flowers were found among domestic gates has already exceeded four digits.

“It’s not easy… .”

How long had passed since I had been searching for information for a long time with such a strange obsession.

“Uh, are you already at work?”

Gyuri Han appeared in the office.

“You have come.”

“What, are you busy?”

“no. I’m not really busy… . I just have some concerns.”

“Are you concerned?”

Gyuri Han put her luggage on the seat and came straight to my seat,

“What’s going on?”

After thinking about it for a while, I explained the situation to her with a feeling of desperation.

“I don’t know about monsters, but the plants are a bit weak, so it’s hard to find spirits.”

By the way.

“ah… ! If that was the case, you would have told me.”

She came up with a word unexpectedly.

“I majored in gate plants.”

“… yes?”

It was said that Han Gyuri’s college major was related to that.

“What exactly are you looking for?”

“uh… . I don’t know the name, all I know is that it’s a blue flower.”

“It’s a blue flower… . Do you know how many petals there are?”

“… I can’t remember that.”

“Well… . Can I use the computer for a moment?”

“Ah yes.”

After taking my place, she said that she had done it a few times as an assignment, turned on an overseas site, and skillfully asked for information.

“Are you sure it’s blue?”

“yes.”

“Do you remember what it looked like?”

“I have a drawing on my phone.”

She carefully checked the picture I had drawn at first glance, and then moved the mouse as if she had a sense of it.

And after a while.

“Isn’t this?”

“!”

In an instant, he found the exact flower he had seen in his dream.

“This is a flower that is rarely seen in Korea… . Where did you see it?”

It turned out that the plant I was looking for was a plant commonly found at overseas gates under the name of ‘Giraffe of a Different Kind’.

Naturally, it was difficult to find in Korea, where there is little information.

‘Overseas… . Do I have to go abroad just because of this?’

It was at that time when I was thinking about an unplanned overseas business trip because of something bigger.

“Shall we find out if there is anything found in Korea?”

“Is it possible?”

“Maybe if something is found, we can find it.”

Gyuri Han found cases found in Korea,

“Are there only three?”

When I checked the list of gates that appeared on the monitor, I was immediately startled.

Incheon Jawol-do.

Gyeongsan Reservoir.

and… .

Jirisan.

… …

[ Jirisan H-992 ]

… …

It was the gate where the ‘mysterious structure’ was found near the ‘waterfall’.

*

After Seol Joo-hee and Lim A-rin had a big fight.

Hong Yu-ra, who was caught in the middle, fell into deep anxiety.

The team members who had been so cherished fought for their lives.

As Hong Yu-ra, who cared for her teammates and thought about them first, she could not help but feel anxious.

“… … .”

Of course, to be honest, even Hong Yu-ra was on Seol Joo-hee’s side.

Anyway, Lim Arin broke her promise, and that wasn’t enough, she even declared marriage.

It was not a very pleasant word for Hong Yu-ra, who was confused between the disgust caused by the suggestion and the underlying love.

But is it okay to blame Lim Arin or Do Jihyuk?

that’s not again

They both had a clear cause.

Read at readwn.com

Marriage or pregnancy, there was a clear cause that no one could interfere.

Hong Yu-ra felt helpless and repeated the relationship between the two of them endlessly.

Finally, the bridle came to her as well.

The more you struggle to get out, the deeper you fall into the muddy bridle of emotions… .

‘… Why did this happen… .’

However, Hong Yu-ra did not collapse easily.

Unlike Seol Joo-hee, she was used to dark emotions.

However, he was constantly searching for the cause and fell into a long trouble.

“… … .”

Then, suddenly, Yu-Ra Hong remembered such a thought.

that the current situation is strangely heterogeneous.

From the moment Do Ji-hyuk left, the team started to roll strangely.

There is a problem with this as Do Ji-hyeok, who was the main axis, got out, but

It was precisely because the team itself had a big problem.

Hong Yu-ra was vaguely aware that something was going wrong.

As soon as Do Ji-hyuk left, the leadership changed the system as if he had been waiting.

Director Nookil is acting strangely.

And even rumors about Do Ji-hyeok, who was roaming inside the guild.

Each one of them deserved an award.

‘… something is strange… .’

Of course, it was a story at a level that could be dismissed as a simple conspiracy theory.

If the leader of the Cheonhwa Guild intentionally expelled Do Ji-hyeok, it means that the cause of all this was done by someone’s will.

It was a story that would make anyone laugh if he heard it.

However… .

“… … .”

No matter how funny it was, she needed a little trigger.

An opportunity to break free from the bondage of terrible emotions that have nothing but despair.

‘… I’ll have to check it out… .’

Hong Yu-ra decided to resume the investigation of the Cheonhwa Guild, which had been delayed for a while.

With all his emotions covered, he went on to work again.
