I Will Save the World and Retire Chapter 192

Home visit (2)

October 30th.

10:31 PM.

Like most chaebol villas, Lee Mi-seon’s pension was located in a deserted place.

Not too far from the beach. There are only houses, warehouses, or abandoned houses scattered here and there along the winding road. As such, the road leading to the pension is dark and desolate after sunset as there are hardly any street lights.

A black car is driving on that dark and desolate road.

Nothing could be seen inside through the pitch black windows. But the car paid no heed and slowly drove down the road and glided into the only huge mansion in the area with lights on. This is a mansion with a long wall of roses blooming out of season.

Contrary to the majesty seen from the outside, the inside of the wall was a mess. The once well-maintained garden had no healthy lawn, and the landscaping trees had been broken and neglected. The same goes for the flowers that decorate flower beds. At least the path for people to walk has been organized. At most, we could only remove broken stones and twigs that were tumbling around.

As for the building that stands tall past the ruined garden, its appearance is even more miserable than the garden itself. The exterior wall, which had once had a modern design to suit the owner’s taste, was covered in strangely vibrant vines, as was the wall. Anyone could see that the sparkling leaves contained magical power. It was a magic so vivid and violent that no awakened person in their right mind would want to get close to it.

Moreover, some parts of the building had black char marks as if an explosion had occurred inside. The broken window is gaping mischievously. The rest of the building was completely different, twinkling with colorful lights. The imbalance further enhanced the strange atmosphere.

The black car came to a halt, trampling on the messy garden lawn.

A little while later, the door opened and feet in sneakers came out.

“wow.”

The boy got out of the pitch black car, looked around and exclaimed in an exaggerated voice.

“Sandra would have absolutely loved it. “He likes things like this.”

Her red-dyed hair fluttered carelessly in the cool wind. Her white face smiles as pretty as if painted. She had a face that could have been mistaken for a girl if it weren’t for the sharp voice that cracked every time she laughed.

Alex Hope laughed even more happily.

“Did you say apocalypse? It was amazing. There is no point in imagining the end. “That’s why I remember it.”

Hope walked forward without waiting for guidance. My childhood friend told me to wait until the host gave me directions when visiting a house I was invited to… . Isn’t this a relationship where you can be that polite?

… is not it? Did they say that you should be more polite to people you don’t know?

Hope tilted her head.

You can ask Sandra again. It would be inside anyway.

It was easy to chase the horsepower. Although it is not at a level that can be called a territory, it is thanks to the wizard’s sincerity in asserting his claims. If it had been my territory, I would have been careful.

Hope sniffed. The magic power floating in the air had a strong rose scent. It was probably the work of the female wizard who captured him. Although she was not strong enough to bind herself, she was a skilled wizard. Even then, she barely escaped, but if she sharpens her sword like this, it might be difficult for her to escape in the future.

‘Noah wasn’t very good at that.’

There will be no hope in the future. Other people wouldn’t know this, but Hope also knows about Noah Michel’s magic.

‘That doesn’t mean that his magic isn’t annoying, but… .’

Sniff.

Hope continued to sniffle as the scent of roses became so strong that it made her nose tingle.

‘Anyway, if I do this wrong, my senses will be paralyzed.’

Then was it a little difficult?

It doesn’t look like we’ll be attacked right away in the current situation, but we can’t show weakness. Hope wiped his nose with the back of her hand. The human body is too weak. I can’t believe I felt tired even with just this level of magical power.

Perhaps it became stronger because the wizard, the subject of the magic, was away. Hope kicked the floor as a test.

Sussseu… .

The rooted vines move nimbly in the ground.

‘It doesn’t work.’

Hope shook her head. If we use more strength, we may be able to force a breakthrough, but we will see each other often in the future. I plan to follow my childhood friend’s advice and remain quiet. You shouldn’t joke around for no reason. Even so, I have the brains to think that much.

I released the magic that had pooled at my feet. He stood close and even the vines that were peeking through the cracks became quiet. It’s still hovering around you, but it’s shown that it has no intention of attacking you, so it’ll calm down quickly.

Hope lightly touched the dirt with the soles of her feet and then started walking again.

The scent of roses was strong, but it wasn’t so much that I couldn’t feel other magical powers. As he walked to the place where he could feel the most magic, the hunters who had come to pick him up at the airport followed closely behind.

It occurred to me later that I should have let him guide me.

It’s already late. Hope didn’t dwell on the past. A prophet is enough to look back on the past.

The scent of roses was stronger inside the building. I briefly thought about using magic power, but decided against it. There was someone here who could see.

“ah. “You’re here.”

“hi!”

Hope smiled brightly and waved.

The humans must have gotten used to it after seeing the face a few times, so they only frowned slightly and didn’t react much.

I thought it was a good result because they didn’t attack me as soon as I saw them or at least glare at them as if I wanted to kill them. My first impression of her was not good, but she gradually became more friendly with me.

Hope saw Gamble sitting on the couch. When his eyes met, his childhood friend smiled shyly and shook his hand. Fortunately, he seemed to be doing well. Well, if he was such a bad person, he wouldn’t have even thought of holding hands in the first place.

Hope gave Gamble the same wave. Only then did other humans come into view.

“You must have had a hard time coming on a plane.”

This is Hong Seok-young. Untidy hair. Sparse beard marks. The grinning face may look a bit stupid, but you shouldn’t let down your guard.

Hong Seok-young is strong enough to be counted on one hand among the humans currently alive. Humans are the biggest part of Sandra’s plan.

Even if that’s not the case… .

‘Isn’t that something to worry about now!’

Behind Hong Seok-young, a woman with her hair roughly tied is standing with her arms crossed. She’s not good at memorizing human faces, but this time she remembered them because her childhood friend made such a fuss.

name is… It’s a little vague, though.

Still, it was right for people related to the Association of Extraordinary Talents to be careful. If you live as a human being for twenty years, there are bound to be things you eventually learn.

If you are disliked by the association, troublesome things will happen. Then mom and dad have a hard time. Sandra too.

For Alex Hope, no motivation is more important than that.

Hope’s gaze shifts from the woman. A young man glaring at him with a sour expression.

‘I don’t think there was a person like that in that lab.’

It is unfortunate that the data was scattered as the laboratory was emptied in a hurry. Thanks to this, there was no way to check this right away. He said he was from a research institute, so I just believe that. I know the face of the boy called my younger brother. Because it was on my list to sort out.

‘uh… Oh, so you’re not exactly from there? Considering age… I guess so. They must be humans created from what they did before entering the ark. ‘It wasn’t a complete failure either.’

Then the thought came to me.

‘I’m glad Noah didn’t know.’

It was a certainty.

I felt better for no reason and smiled at the man. It was the result of one-dimensional thinking, thinking that since most people like it when they smile like this, that person must do the same.

Of course, who had to bear the brunt of that smile?

‘Why is that bastard splitting the thread?’

Woo Hee-jae’s already bad mood sank even further.

* * *

“So I’ve been thinking about what I should do.”

Hope thought for a moment and then changed her words.

“Sandra was worried.”

Honest… Did you do it?

I guess it’s better than not knowing your topic.

When I glanced at Gamble, he was just smiling. Is that woman so embarrassed by Hope’s pierced mouth and then letting her speak again? So, you must have signed the employment contract I gave you without any modifications.

“I guess they are very considerate of our convenience.”

That’s right.

Instead of talking nonsense, Hope got straight to the point. I guess Gamble ordered this too.

“Anyway, it’s better to have something to give and receive.”

Gamble intervened, wondering if he was going to leave everything to Hope and sit back.

Is it a good thing that Gamble knows that we are making concessions? People who were moral enough to acknowledge the humanity of others were not the type to forget the grace they had received.

this… A relationship of which we are still unsure whether it is an alliance or not depends on one person’s conscience.

It was so human, I still couldn’t believe it.

“so?”

“We can’t tell you directly, but we can’t stop them from finding out.”

“ruler. this.”

Hope held out a crumpled piece of paper from her pocket. Hong Seok-young received the paper.

“here… Any good places to check? Should I say it’s a place where I might find something?”

I moved to Hong Seok-young’s side and looked at what was written on the paper. There were strong, assertive letters scattered across the paper that could not be said to have been written well, even if they were just empty words.

The word written at the top.

Myeongdong.

Myeong-dong.

I frowned.

“Did you first select only the dungeons in Korea? Some may be closed. It’s difficult to check that in real time… . “It’s faster for local hunters to check things like that.”

Next to Myeongdong, there is a picture of a cow with horns. I quickly checked the place name written on the paper.

Even in the messy font, the picture of a centipede with many feet was ridiculously easy to see.

Move the room.

“… … .”

I’m annoyed.

Hong Seok-young took a picture of the dungeon list that Hope gave him with his cell phone camera and handed it over to Lee Mi-seon. Lee Mi-seon also checked the list and her complexion hardened.

“Well, what else do we have to talk about?”

“Is it over already?”

“No, there was something else… .”

Hope scratched her head. Just as Gamble was about to open his mouth, Hong Seok-young came forward first.

“Then can we ask a question?”

“uh?”

“I’ve heard some interesting rumors about you.”

“me?”

“You are the boss of the Ark.”

“uh… .”

A look of embarrassment flashed across Hope’s face.

“I’d like you to tell me that story in more detail.”
