I Don’t Want This Reincarnation

Chapter 219

Lee Soo-jin lowered her head with her pale face. She seemed to have run out of energy due to the aftermath of excessive emotional control.

Kwon Jeong-han, who covered Lee Soo-jin’s view with a blindfold again, said with a slightly tired face.

“I’m not in a good condition well, so I think I’ll have to wait a day or so before I can use my ability again.”

“It’s okay. I think we got everything we could get.”

Kwon Jeong-han, who had lost the effect of his ability, didn’t stick too much as before. Leaving Lee Soo-jin, we left the training room.

“Han Yi-gyeol. Are you going to meet the person you rescued right away?”

“Yes. That one looks better.”

When I answered Ha Tae-heon’s question, Woo Seo-hyuk explained as if he was waiting.

“The person is in a private ward. Han Yi-gyeol-ssi also woke up without any problems, so it is expected that she will be awake by now.”

“Good. Could you please guide me?”

“Yes. Please follow me.”

We went straight up to the fourth floor where the hospital room was and headed to the innermost part.

“Just in case, I first asked someone I could trust on my team, but… the wings on her back aren’t big enough to hide. I’m still a little worried.”

“There’s nothing we can do.”

It was such a size that it was impossible to completely hide it in the first place. Even if the words didn’t leak this time, it was certain that it would spread here and there someday if she continued to have wings.

“Let’s go in.”

After knocking lightly on the door of the hospital room, I opened it slowly. The Requiem hospital room was familiar in many ways because I had been taken care of many times.

“Ah…”

As soon as I opened the door and walk in, I could see the bed in the hospital room in front of me. The woman who was sitting there looked back at me.

Her hair, which fell down to the middle of her waist, was pitch black and the large wings on her back were too white, reminiscent of an angel.

Unlike Lee Soo-jin, I didn’t bother to find out about her personal information because she was just a victim who had been swept away and had nothing to do with the Praus Cult. I didn’t know her name, so I asked instead of greeting.

“How are you feeling?”

“That one…”

As if surprised by my words, the woman with her eyes wide open staggered and stood up from her seat.

Her complexion was still pale and I was contemplating whether to hold her with the wind on her skinny body that was about to collapse, but the opponent who quickly regained her balance rushed to me.

“Thank you…!”

“Yes?”

The woman cried as she grabbed me with her two hands.

“You’re the one who saved me, right? At that time… I heard it. It was only a voice, but it must be you.”

“That’s true, but…”

I was a little lost. I didn’t go to the rescue alone. It was difficult for me to deal with someone who had a favourable impression on me.

‘I wish someone could help me.’

If possible, Cheon Sa-yeon or Park Geon-ho, who were good at speaking… I looked back involuntarily and stiffened my shoulders at Cheon Sa-yeon’s cold face.

Why did he feel upset like that? Park Geon-ho… what’s with that rude attitude? Woo Seo-hyuk didn’t really want to step forward. Kim Woo-jin and Kwon Jeong-han didn’t seem to be of any help.

In the end, only Min Ah-rin was left. As I eagerly looked at Min Ah-rin, who was looking at us with an exciting look, she smiled.

“I understand you’re happy, but please calm down.”

Min Ah-rin approached the woman, gently soothed her, and led her to the bed.

“You haven’t yet fully recovered. We have a lot of time, so we will talk slowly.”

“Ah, yes. Thank you.”

“My name is Min Ah-rin, a healer from Requiem. And you?”

“I… my name is Choi Ga-young (???).”

Choi Ga-young, who was hesitantly looking around, asked me carefully.

“I heard from the healer who brought the food that this is the Requiem Guild building. So, are all the others also members from Requiem?”

“Not all, but most of them.”

I didn’t need to reveal that Ha Tae-heon was from Roheon, so I answered briefly. Since I had heard her name, I should introduce myself.

“Choi Ga-young-ssi, my name is Han Yi-gyeol. I’m an independent, but for some reason, I’m working with the Requiem Guild.”

At that, Choi Ga-young’s eyes widened a bit and nodded her head several times.

“It may be hard to remember, but can you tell me how you got caught and subjected to such an experiment?”

“Experiment…”

Choi Ga-young’s face contorted in pain. Her wings, which hadn’t moved, trembled and flapped a little.

“…my home is in Daejeon.”

After she hesitated for a while, Choi Ga-young slowly began to tell her own story.

Choi Ga-young, who lived in Daejeon, had just graduated from college and was looking for a job.

Although she had awakened as a talented person, she was a C-rank and her ability was ‘self-healing’, so her goal was to get a job in an ordinary company, not a guild.

Her day was nothing special. Choi Ga-young, who studied for a certificate until late at night, left the library only after the darkness fell.

“It used to be a road where there weren’t many people. But on that day… no one was there and that was weird.”

Choi Ga-young felt something ominous about it, but she had already reached the back of the road. Close enough for her to get home in just three more minutes. There, Choi Ga-young was kidnapped by Praus Cult.

‘They activated their abilities, stopped people from approaching, and then kidnapped them.’

I remembered what Doctor had said.

“Even though it’s a C-rank, it has self-healing ability and is alive.”

Did he know Choi Ga-young’s ability from the beginning and kidnapped her? To use as his experiment.

“Ugh, then… I was constantly in pain.”

Choi Ga-young, remembering her previous experiences, grabbed her shaking shoulders. I sighed and asked another question.

“Do you know anything about a man named Doctor?”

“…he was always making something or experimenting.”

With a pale face, Choi Ga-young, who was struggling, continued her explanation.

“The energy is very strong. At least S-rank… and I heard that he is a fusion producer.”

“A fusion producer? Are you sure?”

“I don’t know who said it because I was blindfolded, but she certainly said that. It was a very young female voice…”

A young female’s voice… if so.

‘Probably it was Abel.’

Doctor. This man was definitely a member of the Praus Cult. It was also quite deeply related, like Samael or Abel.

‘Does Cheon Sa-yeon know about Doctor?’

There were so many people around and I hadn’t been able to talk to him yet because I met Lee Soo-jin and Choi Ga-young in turn. I would see the situation later and meet with Cheon Sa-yeon separately.

“Do you know anything else?”

“Umm, there have been other victims of kidnapping besides me. I don’t know the exact number. To be honest, I don’t even know if they’re still alive… Most of them seem to die without being able to withstand the experiment…”

“……”

“And he said he was going to America soon. If I hadn’t been rescued… I must have been taken to America.”

It was the same answer as Lee Soo-jin. It became clear that he fled to America.

Luzel and Luke’s request as well. It also bothered me that so many people were missing.

“When I think of that time, I still get scared. Ha, Han Yi-gyeol-ssi. You are my lifesaver.”

I guess I had to go to America myself. In America, there was Chloe, Athena’s deputy master whom I met before, so I would try to contact her in advance.

“Excuse me… are you listening?”

“Ah, yes. I was thinking. Thank you for your honest answers.”

“It’s nothing.”

“Could you please let me know if you have any new memories about Doctor? It doesn’t matter if it’s little.”

“I will.”

I looked at Choi Ga-young, who nodded and promised to cooperate, then shifted my gaze to the huge wings on her back.

‘Now that I see, what should we do with those wings?’

It was attached by Doctor who was an S-rank or higher producer, so I didn’t think we could take it off… I had to ask when Luzel and Luke come over later. Since he attached the monster wings she didn’t want, we should take them off if we could.

I hoped I could help as much as I could with what I had saved. Anyway, if you were going to make an antidote or neutralizer for drugs…

“Han Yi-gyeol.”

“Yes?”

As I organized what I had to do in my head after meeting with Luzel and Luke, I looked back at Ha Tae-heon’s call. He told me with his cell phone in his hand whether he had been on the phone while he was listening to Choi Ga-young.

“Producer Luzel say they have just arrived at Requiem.”

“Is that so?”

After thinking for a while, I asked Cheon Sa-yeon.

“Can I call her here?”

“It doesn’t matter, just do what’s comfortable for you.”

Woo Seo-hyuk, who was standing still behind Cheon Sa-yeon and listening to the conversation, opened his mouth.

“I will wait in front of the elevator and guide them here as soon as they arrive.”

“Yes. Please.”

After seeing Woo Seo-hyuk leaving the hospital room, I said to Choi Ga-young, who looked at us with an anxious expression.

“Choi Ga-young-ssi, the producer are coming now. Let’s see if we can remove the wings.”

“If, if it were to be removed…”

“Yes. You can’t keep it all the time, can you? It looks cumbersome and heavy. There’s also a view of the surroundings.”

“Ah…”

“I don’t know for sure about the producer’s side, so I can’t say for sure, but if it’s possible to remove it, I will help.”

I didn’t want to cause unnecessary fuss rather than help Choi Ga-young because I felt sorry. The fact that a monster body was attached to a human body cannot be allowed to leak.

Others, including Cheon Sa-yeon and Ha Tae-heon, must have the same thoughts as me. Now that it was already complicated because of the Praus Cult, other elements of chaos must be removed quickly.

“Hello~!”

Woo Seo-hyeok, who had left to meet her, returned immediately. Luzel, who followed Woo Seo-hyuk into the hospital room, greeted us with a bright voice and smiled broadly. Luke was with her.

“Welcome.”

“How have you been? Talented Han Yi-gyeol, did you do well with the club’s thing?”

“Of course.”

The air in the hospital room, which was a bit awkward, started to come alive with the appearance of Luzel. After shaking hands with Luzel, I introduced her to Choi Ga-young.

“This is Choi Ga-young-ssi, the victim of this drug case.”

Luzel and Luke’s gazes turned to Choi Ga-young’s back at the same time. There was a strange light in their eyes.
