The Obsessive Maniac Is Trying To Confine Me

Chapter 193 Shi-eon had never felt lacking. There was always enough around, whether it was people or things. He thought his life would be like that.Until he met a woman. The moment I first met her was so ordinary that I couldn’t remember it. The woman was pretty, but Shi-eon was not interested in her. It was the same for women. They were not interested in each other. It was just an ordinary relationship that got tangled up and resolved without any regrets. Then one day, she disappeared. <That senior, she’s taking a leave of absence.> <Why?> <That’s it….> It was not a pleasant feeling to hear someone’s news from someone else’s mouth. However, Shi-eon, who had been listening to the story with one ear, soon became focused. <That senior’s mother suddenly collapsed. But, since she and her mother live alone, so she has to help pay for the hospital bills.> From family history to small stories. There were many things that overlapped with Shi-eon. For the first time, Shi-eon looked at the woman. It was definitely sympathy. <But how do you know that?> <Isn’t there anyone who doesn’t know? The guy senior used to date with was talking about everything.> You’re the same as me, right down to the last detail.I think I thought about her all day long that day. After such a long time, I met her at an unexpected moment.It was pretty fun. At first, I approached her out of interest. I wondered how the person I once felt a connection with was living now.Then, the number of days I met with girls increased, and… Ah. Shi-eon let out a sigh. How did it get to this point? He was frantically searching for a woman who had disappeared.He would do whatever it took. He trudged through the mud.Toward the woman. At the end… ‘Pay the price.’ ‘……’ ‘That’s the price you have to pay to get what you want.’ Shi-eon paid the price. ***** I looked at Shi-eon standing in front of me. “It’s been a while, senior.” It’s been a while? Seeing Shi-eon greeted calmly, I was disappointed. How could he greet me so casually?I still remember the way you pushed me away. “If you’re not going to kill me, give me that knife, it’s hurting your hand.” “…….” I bent my wrist inward in case Shi-eon might steal the sword. ‘Kill him.’ ‘Kill Richard.’ The words to kill Richard are still ringing in my head. “… Is this your thing?” “Thing?” “I keep hearing voices in my head telling me to kill Richard. What did you do?” Shi-eon’s black hair, looking down at me, swayed in the wind. He smiled serenely. “It’s time to go home.” “… What?” “Do you remember the story I told you once, about the apostle and the devil?” I groped for a vague memory. When I lost my memory, Shi-eon would tell me random stories. Stories of demons controlling people and leading them to destruction. The story of how a lesser angel had sent my apostle to banish the demon to a cursed land. “I remember.” “Senior, I’ll let you in on a secret: Transcendents aren’t actually blessed by God.” “… What?” “They’re demons in the shells of blessed humans.” “…….” “Maybe it’s the price of wearing a god’s shell, but when they enter the Cursed Lands, they feel the pain of tearing their flesh and skin.” I couldn’t understand Shi-eon’s words. “What the hell are you trying to say?” Shi-eon drew a meaningful smile. A gentle wind blows. The black-dressed man was very well suited to the Cursed Lands. “I’ve been telling you about the Apostle and you, senior. They’re quite similar, aren’t they? Like the Apostle, who bewitched demons with the scent, so is the senior.” “… Are you saying that I am the apostle?” “Doesn’t the puzzle fit? Why did you have to kill the Transcendent to return home? Why did you possess that body?” Shi-eon’s words sounded different to me.Fulfill the role of an apostle, something like that. I had a gut feeling. The fact that Lee Shi-eon in front of me is different from the person I knew a long time ago. “… You have changed.” He didn’t answer.The round black eyes seemed to indicate positivity. “… I will not kill the Transcendent.” “…….” “I have given up on going back. If I go back anyway, there’s nothing there anyway. So you should stop…” “Okay, then.” Contrary to expectations, Shi-eon happily nodded his head. It was different from the way he was angry when I declared that I would not go back a long time ago. “You thought I was here to pick you up?” “… No?” “Not really.” “…….” What are you doing? “Then why did you approach me? Why did you push me into the furnace? And why…” A long time ago. I remembered the moment Rosie killed me. “What did you see after you died?” “…….” “When you woke up in Korea, you didn’t know where you’re at first, but now you do. That’s your house.” What the hell was I seeing and experiencing this? And what does it have to do with Rosie? And why did he ask Richard to let him smell my scent? There were so many questions. “Actually, there is no reason for me to appear in front of you.” “Then why…” “I just wanted to see you. That’s all.” “Then why did you push me?” “That’s because I hoped that senior would quickly find your memories.” I felt both right and wrong at the same time. “What does that have to do with you?” Shi-eon just smiled strangely. “Then what’s that house, and how did I get back to Korea when I was briefly dead, and why did I end up in your house in Korea…?” “Senior.” Then Shi-eon stopped me. “You said you wouldn’t kill a Transcendent, so you’re going to leave that thing alone?” … Richard. I couldn’t leave him like this. I need to heal him right now… “Do you want me to help you?”He whispered, tempting as if he were the devil. I was reluctant, but I nodded, realizing that keeping Richard alive was my priority right now. Then the rotten branches swayed and the white temple hidden in the mist was revealed. “Ah….” I sighed reflexively. I remember seeing this temple somewhere. ‘Where did I see it?’ A long time ago, when I was working at Evantes… yes. The blurry memory snapped back into focus. The Labyrinth Garden of Evantes! I had been there, and I saw it like a vision. “I’ve been here before.” “Really?” Shi-eon repeated, as if it were no big deal. “I saw it in Evantes, and I heard your voice as well.” “… My voice?” Shi-eon asked me, now interested. “What did I say?” I slowly replayed the blurry memory. Then the jumbled words became clearer. “… You… apologized to me.” “…….” “You said that you were angry and made a mistake, so I should reconsider.” “Haa…” Shi-eon also smiled with a pouty smile as if he remembered it like me. “I didn’t know you’d hear that.” “…….” “Sometimes I make mistakes. I was going to say something to you from the past. There are times when the timeline gets twisted and connects incorrectly.” That’s what I’ve heard before. The timeline does not flow in a straight line but is twisted like a thread, so the time here in Korea can be either the past or the future. “How do you know all that?” I asked. “Shall we go?” Shi-eon skillfully moved the topic over whether he didn’t want to answer this question. Yes. There is still time. There’s no rush I turned to the tree he was leaning against to grab Richard. But… ‘Huh?’ Richard wasn’t there. I turned my head in contemplation. I felt sick, but where was… “Lee Shi-eon…!” At that moment, a swift shadow came over Lee Si-eon.
