chapter 87
When I came out, what greeted me was the news.
The disappearance of the owners of the gate happened during the monster wave. The problem is that the gate that was thought to have disappeared has mutated.
News is pouring in that the gate opened in the place of the gate that was thought to have disappeared and began to change the surrounding environment.
The environment inside the gate affected the outside, but the most serious was the gate in the volcanic area.
This gate was not a gate in Korea, but a gate in Japan. As the gate mutated, it is said that it turned the surrounding area into a volcanic area. The problem is that it is in the middle of Tokyo, and as several high-rise buildings in Tokyo disappeared, a volcano took its place.
In the case of Korea, similar cases have occurred in several places, where a meadow appeared in the middle of Seoul and swallowed all the surrounding buildings.
The problem is where did the disappearing building go, but the good news is that all the people in that building were bounced off and scattered around the gate.
In other words, there was no loss of life and material damage occurred, but the material damage was considerable.
Who would have imagined that the middle of Gangnam would turn into a meadow?
A more serious problem is that there is a situation where monsters can be regenerated.
And one more thing.
The point is that in the area where the mutation occurred, machinery and electronic devices became unusable, just like the gate.
It’s not broken, but it doesn’t work in that area. Get out of there and it will work normally. This is a similar situation when you walk into the gate with those things.
As this uproar broke out everywhere, the gate management bureau also went into a frenzy.
“Yes, Team Leader Miyoung Kim.”
– Siwoo’s gate is in good condition, right?
“Yes, our gate is fine. I also blocked the monster wave well.”
– Phew, I’m glad. Right now, gate owners here and there are in a situation where they are in a mental breakdown. So the high lord? People say they are looking for something like that.
Seeking the great lord means entrusting one’s territory to another place. Just like the old master did.
“I don’t know if you know, but Yeonju Ko’s gate is also under our gate.”
-okay. I’m rather glad. By the way, did anything really happen at Siwoo’s gate?
“Yes, our territory is stronger than we thought.”
At my words, team leader Kim Mi-young hesitates for a while before speaking.
-Well, then, are you thinking of putting another gate under your command?
“Not right now. It’s ambiguous to have someone you don’t know who you are under.”
-If that’s the case, you said that you and Siwoo already knew each other.
“You know me? Oh, are you referring to the gate where the brand chicken of Cheonan comes out?”
-Yes, they say they are looking for the high lord over there.
Bran Chicken’s Gate has met me before. He even wrote a contract, and he was an acquaintance of the factory manager. The impression was good, and managing the Bran Gate didn’t seem too bad.
“If you want, let me do it. I have a relationship there, and it is related to our company.”
-Yes, then I will contact the owner of that gate.
“Yes, but please find out if you really want it.”
– Yes, I will.
After I finished the phone call with team leader Kim Mi-young, I entered the community of gate owners. Then, I saw a few gate owners who were really looking for the great lord.
The interesting thing is that even if you are a great lord, there are no restrictions on receiving a fiefdom under your command.

Jung Ki-hoon’s Daeyeongji was already full of grass, so he was notifying that he could no longer accept the lord. At the same time, Ki-Hoon Jung secretly left a story asking me to find out how to entrust him.
I think this is to prevent pro-Japanese conglomerates from picking up lords, but even so, I had no intention of accepting any domain.
That’s why it was the right time to accept only the Bran estate and observe it a little longer.
Interestingly, there are very few gate owners who want to become the great lord.
“Or was there a condition to become a great lord?”
Nyaang!
Hoya comes up to me and acts cute. This kind of aegyo has a clear purpose.
“Yes, yes, drip.”
When I squeezed the salty snack, Hoya ate it with a smile. I squeezed three in a row. Then Hoya grabs my clothes and pulls them. Looking at the direction of pulling, it is a bed. is to go to bed So when I lay down on the bed, I cut my arm and lie down.
bone bone bone.
I feel like I’m trying to lie on my arm often these days.
“Hoya, aren’t you sick?”
Nyaang?
Hoya looks at me with sparkling eyes. Seeing Hoya like that, I hugged him tightly. Then he groaned louder and fell asleep.
“Come to think of it, after finding our Hoya, it’s hard to say we spent time with Hoya properly.”
Although I found Hoya and spent time together with Hoya protecting me like a guardian, it was different from the times we originally spent having a bond. So while I was petting Hoya while she was sleeping, I thought that I should just play with Hoya today.
Hoya slept for about an hour and woke up. So I took out Hoya’s favorite toy.
Among the animations, there was an animation about a cat walking around wearing boots. There comes a scene where the cat, who had been holding a lot of form, looks at the laser point and goes crazy.
Our Hoya has already realized the secret of the laser point before. So if you play with the laser point, he gets angry. So, I prepared a fishing rod with a shiny thing attached to it, and he really liked it.
I took all of Hoya’s toys out of the luggage. And for Hoya, he shook the toy with all his might. At some point, I couldn’t tell whether I was shaking the toy or the toy was shaking me.
Hoya is really excited like a kid and plays with toys. We also play hide-and-seek once in a while. I’m hiding and Hoya is looking for me. Hoya likes this game.
Maybe in the past, Hoya just liked playing with me. Cats have such an excellent sense of smell that they don’t know what I’m hiding.
However, playing with the cat like this plays a very positive role in lowering the cat’s stress. Cats, in particular, are vulnerable to stress. Although there are cases where people die due to stress, there will not be many cases where it progresses rapidly.
However, if the cat is severely stressed, it can cause various diseases to progress rapidly and lose its life.
I’ve never seen such a cat before. So, the owner has to somehow manage the stress of the cat. Perhaps Hoya was also under a lot of stress.
In fact, how much stress must Hoya have been living alone in there for decades? After meeting me again, even if the stress was lowered, there must have been a part that was not completely relieved.
Still, after playing around with various things for a while, Hoya fell asleep leaning on my arm again.
“It’s so small…”
Our Hoya is quite small among American curls. The American Curl, which is usually shown in cat shows in the United States, is on the large side. However, Hoya is a very small cat, weighing less than 4 kg.
I carefully held Hoya in my arms. The feel of Hoya’s unique fur gives comfort to my heart. Many people dislike furry animals because of their fur. But the hair also brings great comfort. In particular, the hair of our hoya is different from that of ordinary cats. This is a characteristic of American curls. It is slightly oily, so it is very soft.
And surprisingly, American curls don’t tangle very well. This part is also a very blessed gene.
“Hoya, how will Daddy live without you?”
I had a sudden thought. As if knowing my feelings, Hoya chuckled and grabbed my arm tightly.
Feeling the touch of Hoya like that, I fell asleep without realizing it.
***
The reason I woke up was because I received a call from team leader Kim Mi-young.
-Help!
urgent voice. I thought something had happened.
“Where can I go?”
– The square in front of City Hall.
“All right. I’ll see you there in a minute.”
I took a taxi and headed to the plaza in front of City Hall with Hoya. Then I looked at what was happening with my smartphone.
“What nonsense is this?”
Near the plaza in front of City Hall, a gate mutated. The news is saying it’s a sudden change. Gate mutated when the original owner died in an accident.
So I looked up what kind of accident it was, and to my dismay, it was a traffic accident.
It is natural for the owner of the gate to die in a traffic accident. But, unfortunately, he died in a car accident after the gate mutation occurred?
I feel something suspicious.
Hwa, but no more detailed information has been posted on the Internet. A military unit has already been dispatched around the plaza in front of City Hall and is controlling the number of people.
When I got out of the taxi, team leader Kim Mi-young came out to meet me.
“What is going on?”
At my words, team leader Kim Mi-young said with a serious expression.
“The gate transition is in progress in real time. Can you see it over there?”
A small mountain was rising in the square in front of City Hall. Of course, there was no way there was a mountain in the plaza. That is, the goal of the gate is to incorporate this side.
“What about monsters?”
“Not yet. But in this situation, it wouldn’t be strange if a monster appeared at any time.”
That’s right.
“Then what part do you ask me for help with?”
“Please take a look at it with observation. Jeong Ki-hoon is currently not in Korea.”
So, the story is that I am currently the only Korean with observation skills. So I nodded to her and used my observations.
– Observation skill was used.
-Gate mutation in progress 36%.
A gate transition is in progress. The gate owner has been murdered. Gate is quite upset over the loss of his master. The Gate tries to project its own Gate into this world according to its own will. And if the progress goes over 80%, monsters will appear.
The situation was very serious. Gates also have a will. And through that will, he tries to protect the owner of the gate. I heard that the owner of the gate died in a car accident. However, based on observation, the owner of the gate was murdered.
And Gates doesn’t seem to want to forgive the one who killed his master. Are you trying to find the person who killed the monster by triggering a gate mutation?
One thing was clear through observation.
“Gate is furious.”
That Gates is outraged. When I see something that is not my gate, I wonder if each gate has its own will.
