Chapter 405: A Future Disaster
'What are these guys on about?' Haru thought looking at the constellations clamouring more than usual suddenly.
But he knew that there was a situation as he rushed inside after feeling the abnormal rush of mana since he was outside the gate of this apartment complex.
Haru didn't know what was happening but looking at Zenobia being angry was a first, so it was indeed simple that something big happened for her to make a face like that.
But even with the tension in the air, Zenobia looked at Haru trying to calm down a little to explain things, she had seen how Jung-hyuk had tried to drag Yoo-sung away through her screen which is why she rushed down quickly as Jin-ah bought her time.
So, after taking a deep breath she explained what happened and as expected...
"What?" Haru frowned and stared at Jung-hyuk who was still standing there like he did nothing wrong even after hearing what he did.
'Why are you looking at me?' Dok-ja sweated since instead of explaining Jung-hyuk looked at him with narrowed eyes.
"Did you not tell them about it?" Jung-hyuk asked, his frown deepened it looked like he had made his move too quickly and it made him look worse than it should've been.
'Damn you, why did you have to do that?' Dok-ja screamed in his head since this matter wasn't something that could be just spoken about to them after he saw how close Yoo-sung was to the leader of this group.
But luck wasn't on his side at all.
"What is he talking about, Dok-ja?" Haru asked him after he stepped in front of both Jung-hyuk and Zenobia.
"Well..." Dok-ja didn't know how to open this topic.
'I shouldn't have checked her profile out of curiosity,' at dinner last night Dok-ja was trying to see the profiles of everyone present as a test once more and somehow he spotted Yoo-sung who was eating with Zenobia, the two looked really close so he just checked her profile.
But he didn't expect her to be...
"She is the Disaster of The Floods from the upcoming scenario," Even then unlike Dok-ja, Soo-young had no qualms about diving into the topic.
She had read the original and she got a few hints thanks to someone who helped her in knowing who Yoo-sung actually was.
'I wonder, how much probability it would've cost him to send this information to me?' Soo-young thought as she took a sip of her coffee with a smirk.
She liked the scene of absolute chaos in front of her that was caused by her words, something like that was bound to make them all wonder what the hell was going on.
'I am going to use this chaos to make my place in this group,' Soo-young already had her plan and ignored the looks she got from her Dok-ja, she wasn't interested in his reaction.
He was of course put in a difficult situation because of her but she didn't care and no one else as well because...
[Many Constellations are intrigued.]
[The Constellation 'Secretive Plotter' is watching the situation.]
[The Constellation 'Abyssal Black Flame Dragon' is enjoying the build-up.]
[The Constellation 'Prisoner of the Golden Headband' is intrigued.]
[The Constellation 'Noble Child Of The Sun' is frowning.]
[The Constellation 'I Like Feet' is surprised by the information.]
[7,000 coins have been sponsored.]
Even the constellations were interested in this while the people present at the scene were...
"What?" Zenobia frowned even deeper moving in front of Yoo-sung because of Jung-hyuk's gaze on the kid.
"That's certainly unexpected," Hae-in added while sitting down next to Jin-ah, but she did look serious at the moment, unlike her normal reaction to things.
"Is that actually true though?" Jin-ah looked at Dok-ja as well as she continued her breakfast regardless.
'I guess I'll need to just say it, but telling them this about isn't the problem,' Dok-ja was more worried about the question that would come after this, and especially a question from...
"Will you guys explain things further?" Haru asked with a smile looking at Jung-hyuk and Dok-ja but that smile looked more like a threat rather than a request.
"So, it is as you've heard, that little girl Yoo-sung is indeed actually the strongest disaster for the upcoming scenario, And she is strong enough to destroy the entire Seoul single-handedly," Since it had come down to it Dok-ja decided to just speak while thinking of what to explain and thinking counters that will not set off any flags.
Zenobia aside no one would believe Dok-ja if they had heard him, it just sounded that ridiculous.
How could a innocent-looking 11-year-old girl be the most powerful disaster of the upcoming scenario? Destroying Seoul? What a joke.
But...
'They are listening silently,' Jin-ah thought looking at Haru and Zenobia, those two were the ones who were the best to trust in situations like these.
And seeing Zenobia who had every right to lash out, was staying quiet meaning that...
'The two of them weren't lying,' Hae-in glanced at Dok-ja and Soo-young before throwing out some bait.
"But how will a kid like that become the strongest disaster in less than 10 days? It doesn't add up," Hae-in asked with a frown as if she was a bit angry by how ridiculous the words were.
"Yeah, it couldn't be that easy to get that strong in a short amount of time," Jin-ah chimed in to make her point known as well, she was mostly trying to build pressure with Hae-in's words to get more concrete information. "Well, The disaster isn't going to be her..." Dok-ja sighed since this was the hard part of the explanation and glanced at the people in front of him.
'I don't think it would be wise to not explain or lie in any way,' Dok-ja thought while looking at Haru, his stigma was the reason he had to walk on eggshells constantly while taking insane risks.
"The strongest Disaster of the next scenario is Shin Yoo-sung's future version," Dok-ja said and everyone just looked at him like what was he on?
But the silence didn't last for long because...
"So, you mean her future version will travel back in time to destroy Seoul?" Haru asked looking at Dok-ja who nodded.
'She isn't really the future version of this Yoo-sung, but that's beside the point,' Dok-ja didn't want to go into details since if he did, he'd need to explain the different timelines and the main thing, 'I'll need to explain how I know about this.'
"So, you mean to say that there was a bad future and she coming back as a disaster? But for what? Revenge?" Hae-in asked as she saw that Haru was thinking about something, it wasn't hard to guess what he was thinking because a very interesting topic was opened.
"Yes, it could be that she after the person who destroyed the world in the future," Jin-ah spoke like such a thing was none of concern even if it was implied that she could possibly die in the future the reason for that was.
'I am the protagonist's wife, bitch you can't kill me,' Because of the multiple flags that Haru had which made him the perfect protagonist of some sort of fiction, Hae-in often joked about this type of thing with Alea and Jin-ah.
But Jin-ah took it a little too seriously sometimes, but leaving that aside...
"Yeah, it could be something like that," Dok-ja tried to dodge the situation since it wouldn't be good to go any further than this since the two had basically hit the nail on the head.
'Time travel is possible here?' Haru thought of this for a brief second before he understood something.
'Why is she coming so back in time? And with whose help?' Haru knew that were certain factors in the mix and the most important one was that, 'There is no way she would be coming back as part of the scenarios if the Dokkaebi aren't involved, and if they are involved then...'
It was certain that there was some sort of compensation that had to be paid for this, the dokkaebis were a greedy bunch so there was no way they'd leave a chance like this. That is why...
'Could it be that her being a disaster is part of that compensation? And if she is a disaster then does she have no free will of her own? How will that work? If it is similar to how it was that guide then it could work, And most importantly if it is her future version then...'
