Chapter 223
Episode 223: Gong Yi-soo’s help
“Gong Yi-soo is a problem solver with great ability… … “There is a curse attached to it.”
This is a remark made by a broker who was close to Gong Yi-soo.
“Well, every place he goes… … A bizarre and terrible monster appears.”
This is a statement made by Gong Yi-soo ‘a person who claimed to be a friend’.
A bizarre and terrible monster that pursues Gong Yi-su.
This monster, called the [Hound of Tindalos], is the worst penalty imposed only on those who can cross the boundaries of time and space and escape the observation range of those who exist in this world.
A hunter who cannot be stopped by any means, who never gives up no matter what he does, and who pursues his target until the end no matter how long he runs away.
“The mental state is extremely unstable, and complete isolation and control is impossible. And if you take into account the monsters that appear by his side, Red Level 1 is appropriate.”
This is what was recorded in the minutes of the meeting at Paju Central Hospital when Gong Isu was first quarantined.
Paju Central Hospital and the Foreigners Management Office considered him an alien and dangerous person who deserved to be quarantined.
But as time passed, I realized that that judgment was wrong.
The monster that appears next to Gong Isu only pursues Gong Isu and attacks only Gong Isu.
What was more important was Gong Isu’s attitude.
“He wants to disconnect from the outside world. He doesn’t need to try to protect the world from Kong Yisoo. Rather, we must protect Gong Isu from the world.”
This is a statement from the researcher in charge of the test.
Gong Yi-su wanted to cut off from the outside world. I desperately hoped for that, and soon Paju Central Hospital decided that Gong Isu was an object of protection, not an object of quarantine.
“How do you imprison someone who can destroy and reassemble all objects in the first place, and who can travel through space and time?”
This is the remark of the suppression agent who was once in charge of monitoring Gong Yi-soo.
In the end, strict quarantine itself is meaningless.
And that he does not pose any danger if certain conditions are observed.
Gong Yi-su himself received a ‘conditional safety grade’, or yellow, based on the fact that he was extremely cooperative and was able to control his abilities.
Even the surveillance camera in his room was recently removed, taking into account his sensitivity to observation and surveillance.
“I was against it. “That bastard is f*ucking dangerous.”
This is the statement of Yang Seo-ho, who captured Gong Isu.
Although there was minor opposition, the level of isolation against Gong Isu lowered over time.
After it was confirmed that his abilities could not be reproduced or copied, even researchers stopped visiting his room often.
A completely quiet, peaceful, plant-like life that I finally achieved.
“No-no. no! no! no! no! no! “I’m not participating!”
The obsessive scream that Gong Yi-su let out was a bursting sound that signaled the end of that plant-like life.
[System: The unique characteristic ‘Time Traveler’ is activated.]
A round room where Gong Yi-su breaks through the barriers of time and space and disappears outside the observation range. The time is ticking when this room, installed to protect time travelers, loses its owner.
1 second.
Craddangtang!
“Aaaah!”
Gong Yi-su appeared again in the round room.
“Ugh! “Aaaah!”
Gong Yi-soo is crouching down in a fitful manner, clawing, groping, hitting, screaming, and crying.
Of course he can’t shed tears. Because he has no eyes to shed tears at the clock floating where his head should have been instead of his lost head.
“Are you alive? Is he alive? Did he come back alive?”
The total time period he visited with this leap was-
Tick-tick-tick-
Tick-tick-tick-
Tick-tick-tick-
Tick-tick-tick-
A total of 12 locations, including the near future, distant future, near past, and distant past.
At the last moment, he had to be chased by 12 [Hounds of Tindalos].
“Ha-ha-ha-damn…” … . Shit-”
Gong Yi-su took out a fist-sized stone from his arms. It is the keystone, an object that Kim Shin-hwa, wearing a crow mask, could not find no matter how hard he searched.
* * *
Tick-tick-
I opened my eyes.
“I believed it. Seniors.”
“… … “You believed it?”
Tick-tick-
Gong Yi-su’s voice is heard along with the sound of the clock ticking.
It’s like a perplexed attitude.
“sure.”
Although Kim Shin-hwa had an opposing opinion in my head, I had no doubts. As I expected – and as I declared, Gong Yi-su escaped the round room and saved me.
Tick-tick-
“I’m not surprised that this is your first time seeing me. “Do you have the ability to foresee?”
“no. I just trusted my senior. And it’s not so much that you can’t recognize him just because his hair style has changed a bit.”
“… … .”
Tick-tick-
Gong Yi-soo silences his mouth for a moment. No, it doesn’t really have a mouth. Anyway, when Gong Yi-su is silent, the sound of the floating clock instead of his head becomes excessively loud.
‘You came back with a watch instead of a helmet.’
It’s not that I wasn’t surprised, but I somehow expected this type of change to happen.

“You’re telling a similar story… … .”
A tone of voice that seems sad or lost in memories.
Ugh, I’m suddenly in the mood to reminisce about the past.
I tried to say something else to avoid wasting time, but Gong Yi-su spoke first.
“Future you also said that.”
what? It’s not a story from the past.
“Future me? “Am I going to talk about that later?”
“No, not anymore. “You did it now.”
“You’re saying that the future will change with my answer.”
“that’s right. But you who told that story will remain in my memory.”
It was a short answer, but I could understand a little why Gong Yi-soo had been so nervous before.
What my future self would have said, my present self has done.
With just that brief action, the future that Gong Yi-soo experienced never existed.
But that doesn’t mean Gong Yi-su’s memories disappear.
“Senior, are you from the future?”
“No, I am currently… … It’s a ball game. “I went to the future because I was curious.”
For a moment, I almost thought I would say a name other than Gong Yi-su. I wanted to talk more about that, but that’s not the time.
Where are we anyway? It is a large room with all four sides blocked off.
A space reminiscent of the ‘lounge room’ in my head where I chatted with other Kim Shin-hwa in my dreams.
Structure and area. And after seeing the few remaining traces, I realized what Paju Central Hospital had done to isolate me.
“They just pushed out the hallway and made a room in its place.”
“that’s right. “I couldn’t find a way to move you, so as a last resort, I rebuilt the hallway itself into a room.”
And security devices and surveillance cameras installed everywhere. But now everything has stopped working and is destroyed.
‘Do you think Gong Yi-su broke it?’
“Take this.”
It is a keystone.
It is an artifact that has the ability to cure the target’s confusion.
‘The success rate is only 50%, but miraculously, it continues to succeed.’
Is it really a miracle? Or is there something artificial at work?
“But I kept looking for this and couldn’t find it. Where did you get it from?”
“At your future request, I took it out of your bag.”
“My bag?”
“okay. While you were showing a strange obsession with [Reckless Destruction] and doing absurd things.”
“ah-”
A mask in the form of a buffalo bone head.
While I was trying to subdue it, I briefly lost my bag.
‘I didn’t lose my bag, Gong Yi-su took it.’
“Be sure to keep your promise to me.”
“A promise?”
“I’ll take the dogs later.”
Ah, the Hound of Tindalos.
It is an otherworldly monster that tracks time travelers. Perhaps this time, Gong Yi-soo will appear as many times as he has crossed time.
“How many?”
“Now there are 12. But it doesn’t matter now. Later is important. “Maybe it would be a bit much then?”
12? Have you moved 12 times in that time?
Now that I think about it, black steam is rising from all over the corners of the improvised prison.
“It’s very exciting. “Did you make any other promises other than that?”
“I did it.”
“What is it?”
“It’s meaningless to say it to you now.”
“Uhm… … . It’s nice to be meaningful, but I think-”
The future Kim Shin-hwa that Gong Yi-soo promised… … .
Not anymore. What Gong Yi-soo says and does now.
Because all of that will make the future that Gong Yi-soo experienced never exist.
“You don’t understand.”
Does this mean that even if I told you the contents of the promise, I would not be able to understand it now? Or does this mean that we cannot understand the hardships of time travelers, or regressors?
Maybe it means that he doesn’t understand Gong Yi-soo’s trauma and his emotions.
“No matter what I do, I will never be able to meet the Kim Shin-hwa I met again. Are you- are you-”
Tick-tick-tick-
“You did something truly terrible to me.”
Although Gong Yi-soo said so, it is definitely a feeling that is difficult to sympathize with or understand.
At this point, there would be no point in trying to understand what Gong Yi-soo wanted to say.
Honestly, I don’t even know what to do.
‘I’d like to ask you if you kissed my future self…’ … .’
You shouldn’t say things like that, right?
Anyway, I was the one who forcibly dragged out Gong Yi-su, who refused to get involved. Aside from the fact that it was difficult to understand, I didn’t ask him any more questions out of respect.
And anyway, now is the time to ask something other than that.
“I am going to escape from this hospital now. “What are you going to do, senior?”
“I’m not going. “When you are ready, I will go see my past self.”
“A senior from the past?”
“okay. You and I will meet 6 more times. No, one is missing, so it must be number 5.”
I didn’t expect this to happen, but it looks like Gong Yi-soo went back and forth between a lot of time zones in a short period of time.
‘Anyway, we’ll meet again about five times later.’
“I don’t know how many more things will happen, but it will probably be that much.”
“All right. “Then what about your future senior?”
“I have more to think about. And if I accidentally encounter my past self, things will get even more complicated, so I won’t move for a while.”
“okay.”
The ability to travel through time is a truly complex and dizzying ability. Not just one or two penalties -grrrrr-
Heads of bizarre shapes begin to appear in the corners of the room.
“It’s over now. “I have to run away before they fully form.”
“Can I help?”
“Take care of yourself. Oh-and. “I prepared a few things for you, just as you requested.”
“Are you ready?”
“Someone will come soon to help you escape.”
“Aha, that’s something to be thankful for.”
“And this is your message from the future.”
Tick-tick-tick-
“Message?”
“okay. “She said that you would do two favors for the person who will help you escape.”
“Uhm. All right.”
I don’t know what it is, but it’s important, so please listen.
“Okay, I’m going.”
With those words, Gong Yi-su moved to the left. To the left – further to the left – tick – tick – tick –
Gong Yi-soo had moved further left to a position where I could not follow it and had disappeared in a direction I could no longer observe.
“It’s gone.”
It’s definitely an ability that operates in a completely different way from magic. However, thanks to the traits and 30 points of intelligence that were added to gain the talent of a wizard… … .
‘I guess I can imitate something similar with the abilities I have.’
But if I do that, I’ll end up like that too… … .
I don’t want to do that.
‘Anyway, why did my future self hire someone to help me escape?’
Although the closed ward of Paju Central Hospital is one of the most dangerous and bizarre places in Paju, it is not so bad that I cannot escape on my own.
I checked my body’s condition and waited for ‘someone to help me escape’.
Mei profit-
The sound of a door opening.
Long curly hair down to the waist, a madman’s eyes shining brightly under the glasses, and a pure white doctor’s gown.
“Excuse me-”
And the flowing horse tail.
“… … .”
I don’t know what my future self was thinking when making this plan, but it was a plan I made while I was sane… … Right?
‘Do you want me to do two favors for that woman?’
fantasy,
