Saved a Heroine From the Brink of Death

80. Future View

#80. Future View

The engraving of the command.

A spell that controls the subconscious of the target and makes them follow the orders of the one who engraved the mark.

I tattooed this mark on the back of Lee Soo-hyuk’s neck.

Naturally, using this type of ‘mind control’ ability on people is prohibited.

But isn’t there also a saying that if you don’t get caught, it’s not a crime?

Paaa-

A blue light appeared, obscuring the surrounding vision.

Now that the gate has been cleared, we are about to be transferred outside, back to where we came from.

‘I guess I’ll be able to use Lee Soo-hyuk properly from now on.’

I gave myself over to the blue light, thinking about how to manipulate Lee Soo-hyuk.

***

– A closed gate appeared and was cleared in 3 hours. The person who led the gate clearing was Cynthia, a second-year cadet from the Academy, a young divine being considered as the next head of the Kwon Sung Shin family. Cynthia is also known to be the disciple of the former top-tier hero, Cheonmu Bong, and has continued his progress. Some say that it is absurd for an Academy cadet to clear a B-rank gate, but if she is Cheonmu Bong’s disciple, it makes sense…

The Class B closed gate “Lizardman Habitat” has been cleared, and all those trapped there have returned outside.

There were a few casualties, but not a single death.

The news reported this story every day, giving Cynthia prominence.

‘The effect is certain once you do it.’

And then there was me.

‘They say money is the best… If this happens, Sia’s existence will be fully imprinted on many people through the media, and it will be difficult for even the prestigious families, including Ilwol Yoonga, to do anything to Sia.’

Since Cynthia had decided to become the head of the Kwon Seong-shin family, it was only a matter of time before her identity was revealed.

Also, I made the first move because I was worried that the Ilwol Yoon family might spread their influence and leave a bad impression about Cynthia elsewhere.

Cynthia is a rising star in the Academy and is considered the next successor to the Kwon Seong-shin family.

In addition, she successfully led the clearing of this closed gate. This reputation will help her in the future.

Bb-

The TV in the office suddenly turned off.

I looked around and saw Cynthia staring at the TV with a pouty expression.

“…Isn’t that enough now?”

“what?”

“That! No… It’s good, but it’s too much! Do you know how embarrassing it is to go to the Academy? You can’t even show your face… .”

Cynthia’s face was half gone, perhaps because she had suffered so much since her face was sold.

He said that when he walks down the street, people often greet him and ask for his autograph or to take pictures with him. He said that he gave autographs to five people on his way back from the academy…

“Really? I think this is enough propaganda. Okay. I’ll do as you say.”

I nodded and accepted Cynthia’s opinion. Since it had already been released to the press, the effect would have been sufficient.

“… It’s not that I don’t like it. Anyway, thank you.”

“What? It’s my job to support you.”

“Ugh-”

Cynthia looked at me, blushed, then turned around and took a deep breath.

“what’s the matter?”

“… It’s nothing.”

Cynthia, who had been looking the other way for a while, suddenly looked back at me with an exclamation as if something had occurred to her and continued speaking.

“Ah… I have some good news!”

Cynthia smiled brightly.

“I found out what I got inside the gate! Come on! Follow me!”

The ‘Hidden Peace’ in the Lizardman habitat.

Cynthia took me to the training grounds and said she would tell me about it.

“Are you the representative of the subject?”

“I’m Grace, the deputy director of the Watcher. I’m of the same rank as David, who signed the contract with you.”

“… I see. But, that’s short.”

Yoon Hyuk-kwon expressed his dissatisfaction with Grace’s attitude, who was dispatched by the investigative agency.

Although they formed a temporary alliance, each was only the representative of one clan and the other was only the vice-representative.

The location is different.

“I’m not good at Korean. If you have any complaints… you can break the alliance, right?”

“… Okay. It’s not that important.”

The first one to bend was Yoon Hyuk-kwon. He was the one who was in a hurry right now. Yoon Ga couldn’t deal with Han Seong-jin without the help of the judge.

“By the way… is the plan going well?”

“What’s the plan? Oh… that?”

Grace continued with a snicker.

“Haha. It didn’t go well?”

“Are you saying it failed…?”

“That’s right. I failed. And I failed miserably.”

“Ugh… .”

Yun Hyuk-kwon groaned.

It was a good plan, but it failed? I wondered if I had heightened Han Seong-jin’s alertness for nothing. Or maybe I had drawn the wrong line?

“If it was that easy to screw Han Sung-jin, how many times would he have done it? That guy is extraordinary. Ah. Is that the right way to say extraordinary? Anyway…”

Grace threw a document at Yun Hyuk-kwon.

“What is this?”

“Look into it. It’s something you have to do.”

“Is it true that Yoonga has to do the work that the owner gives her without even subcontracting it?”

“Look. You need to think carefully about your position. You guys are on the verge of being screwed, and we don’t really care if you help us or not. All we have to do is involve the other families.”

“… … .”

Yoon Hyuk-kwon realized that the person in front of him was not the type of person he could communicate with. David was somewhat communicative, but Grace was not that type of person.

Be true to your feelings and act as your emotions lead you.

‘If we go any further from here… I might really have to go back. Phew… I had too high expectations from the Watchers. But I can’t back out here either.’

subcontract.

How did the Yun family, one of the Seven Great Families, end up in such a state? Yun Hyuk-kwon sighed as he read the documents.

‘These, these… crazy guys?’

And the more he read the documents, the more his face hardened.

Yoon Hyuk-kwon raised his head and looked at Grace with a bewildered expression.

“This plan… is it serious?”

“Then. Are you serious?”

Grace held out her hand to Yoon Hyuk Kwon with an evil smile.

“So what are you going to do?”

“… I have no choice.”

Yoon Hyuk-kwon took the hand that Grace extended.

***

-Grace, did you have a nice time meeting Yoon Hyuk Kwon?

“Yeah. But… do I really have to tell you all these things in detail?”

-You have some substance to your words. I’m asking because you always do things the wrong way. If you were a trustworthy guy, you wouldn’t be calling me like this.

“Really? I’m sorry I couldn’t be trustworthy.”

Grace smirked at the sight of David still alive.

“Then I’ll write a report later and send it to you as you wish. Should I hang up now?”

-…okay.

Grace hung up the phone, lost in thought.

‘Have we caught the spy? Or has he not come forward yet? Anyway… I’ll be much more at ease if David is gone. If not, that’s fine too.’

She secretly hoped that David would be eliminated by the spy. However, telling David a little about the spy was a courtesy to someone who was in the same organization.

‘What happened to Han Seong-jin… I can’t let him die here.’

Grace was not a spy planted by Han Seong-jin in the Watcher of Destruction.

Rather, she was the one who desperately wanted the ‘end of the world’, which was the goal of the Watcher of Destruction.

But even if the goal is the same, that doesn’t mean everyone thinks the same.

The oriental idiom “same bed, different dreams” suddenly came to mind.

It means that people have different dreams in the same bed.

‘For destruction… Han Seong-jin is needed.’

Her golden eyes glowed with golden light and projected a future onto her.

Fragments of a giant asteroid were falling all over the world, and volcanoes were erupting.

All the gates on Earth collapsed simultaneously, releasing monsters outward.

The end of the world was coming.

From noble mtl dot com

90% of humanity was dead, and those who remained were left awaiting their own death in fear and anxiety.

However, among the survivors, there were those who did not lose hope.

There were those who resisted destruction with a fighting spirit until the very end.

Among them was ‘Han Seong-jin’, whom the current viewer wanted to kill so badly.

‘According to the future vision… Han Seong-jin is a guy who exists in the future. I can’t just let him disappear like this.’

Grace’s golden eyes were a special ability of the “precognition” series that allowed her to see the future at a specific point in time.

She thought that Han Seong-jin was necessary for the future she saw to be completed, and she chose to save Han Seong-jin for that future.

Her foresight is shaky.

It’s not about seeing the inevitable future, but rather showing one of the possibilities. Therefore… in order to bring about the desired possibility, all the conditions had to be met.

‘I have to kill Cynthia.’

In the future Grace saw, Han Sung-jin existed, but Cynthia did not exist.
