chapter 115
We finally arrived at the Grand Canyon.
This canyon, which extends for 400 km, is considered a must-see before dying.
“[This place is not just cool, it has the history of the Earth!]”
Fossils from the Precambrian to the Cenozoic are excavated from sedimentary rocks here.
“[It’s like a museum of life on Earth, where everything from the earliest creatures to the latest fossils is excavated! So paleontologists almost live here!]”
Tony took the lead and talked incessantly.
It’s been a long time since I visited, so I was very excited.
“Are you on the right track now? I think it’s all there.”
It seemed like it would be easy to get lost as the similar terrain kept repeating itself.
“[It might seem that way to a first-timer. But if you go often, it’s a little different.]”
He pointed to a large rock about 100 meters ahead.
“I’m rocking! I hid there and watched them fight!”
Finally, they arrived at the place where the assailants were fighting.
Tata that-
Tony ran towards the rock.
Then he looked around and put on a disappointed expression.
“[I don’t have anything… someone must have taken it…]”
humming-
I got up into the air and looked around.
The giant’s remains were nowhere to be seen.
After landing on the ground again, he asked Tony.
“Are you sure this is the location?”
“[Sure! You can tell by looking at that rock!]”
I approached the rock Tony said was hiding and put my hand on it.
Then, as psychometry was activated, he was able to read the memories embedded in the rock.
It was really Tony’s memory.
He had witnessed a battle between the gangsters here.
‘It’s real.’
Tony looked at my expression and asked.
“[Did you read the memory in the rock right now? Psychometric?]”
I nodded slightly in the affirmative.
Then he widened his eyes and said.
“[and! Put objects and people in a space of another dimension, fly in the sky, and even psychometry! Who the hell are you? Earth psychic? Or are you from outer space?]”
“Is that so curious? Shall I tell you?”
“[yes!]”
“But if you know a lot about me, you will have to die, will that be okay?”
gulp-
He swallowed dry saliva and waved his hand.
“[no! don’t tell me! I’ll just imagine by myself!]”
I smiled and moved my gaze back to the clearing.
It’s been 15 years since Tony came back here.
In the meantime, someone took the armor and weapon.
“Didn’t that bastard take care of it?”
Alex Brown may have taken it.
Tony had drunkenly told him what he had seen in the Grand Canyon.
“[I didn’t even tell you the exact location…]”
Even if you didn’t know exactly where it was, there was nothing you couldn’t find if you were determined to find it.
Because he had 15 years.
Besides, there is money in hand, so if you mobilized several helicopters and searched the Grand Canyon like a tooth, you would have found enough.
Anyway, if it was Alex Brown who took the giant’s memento, it would have been better.
Catch him and collect him along with the golden box.
“Let’s go back to Las Vegas.”
.
.
.
Returned to Las Vegas to meet Alex’s lover.
She was staying in a luxury hotel on the Las Vegas Main Strip.
I hid myself with <invisibility> and entered the room where she was staying through the veranda on the 5th floor.
Then, an unexpected scene unfolded before my eyes.
Several naked men and women were doing it in groups in broad daylight.
‘Las Vegas!’
Among the women who entangled with men and had a fun time, there was a girl I was looking for.
self-
I unlocked the invisibility.
I was now wearing the face of a middle-aged white man.
big-
I coughed and pretended to be there, but no one noticed.
It was because everyone was working so hard on it.
Memories flashed through my mind as a child.
There was a method used by a hair salon lady in Hongcheon-eup to separate the local baduk players from doing that in front of the store.
‘water.’
Chow-
I splashed cold water on the yeonnomims with water attribute magic.
Then, startled, everyone came to their senses.
“[sh*t! What is it all of a sudden!]”
A few looked at me and shouted.
“[Who are you! How did you get here?]”
“[Damn it! Did you splash water on us?]”
I crossed my arms and looked at them wordlessly.
Then the men separated from the women and came to me.
“[Who the hell are you?! What are you doing!]”
swish-
The guy who was the first to come forward raised his fist and lunged at me.
I used telekinesis to blow him out of the veranda.
aaah-
He screamed and fell down the building.
I didn’t have any ill feelings toward him.
It’s not a crime to do that in a group in a hotel during the day.
I just found it disgusting to see him dangling ugly objects at me.
with a plop-
He fell into the swimming pool under the building.
I fell from a height of 5 stories, so I won’t die.
Seeing my friend blown out of the veranda, the others backed away.
Hurry up-
They just packed their pants and fled through the front door.
‘I wish I had run away like that a long time ago.’
Wow-
The women also started screaming and running towards the front door in their underwear.
I didn’t need other women.
Because only Alex’s lover has business.
I stretched out my hand towards her and activated my telekinesis.
Then she was pulled toward me.
Wow-
She screamed and screamed at me.
“[Did Jack send it?!]”
‘jack?’
Alex’s new name was ‘Jack’.
She was dragged right in front of me and pretended to cry.
“[That’s a misunderstanding! I never cheated on you! Men raped us!]”
“Who said what?”
chin-
I put my hand on top of her head.
Then the 24-hour memory of the woman came into my head.
In her memory, there was also a conversation with Alex on the phone.
He was abroad now.
By the way, I will be coming to Las Vegas this evening.
The woman had been having a fun party with her model colleagues before Alex returned, inviting the guys to the party.
‘acceptance.’
hiss-
I put her in my inventory.
Now you just have to wait for Alex here.
***
Wheein-
A sandy wasteland.
A man was walking with difficulty.
His name was Jack Wolf, a man once called Alex Brown.
He didn’t know why he was walking in the wasteland.
‘What am I doing here?’
Then, suddenly, an important object popped into his mind.
‘My box!’
The golden box he cherished more than his own life came to mind.
The man started looking for the box like a madman.
However, it turned out that the box was already in his hands.
Whoop-
The man let out a sigh of relief.
It was then.
Whoops-
Someone broke through the sandstorm and flew toward the man at breakneck speed.
The man was terrified and wanted to run away, but his legs wouldn’t move.
chuck-
A giant in rainbow-colored armor stood tall in front of the man.
Then he put a knife to his throat and spoke in a thick voice.
[Give me the golden box!]
The man shouted as he held the box in his arms.
“no!”
[Then die!]
swish-
The man’s head was ripped off by the giant’s sword.
***
Ahh!
The man woke up screaming.
When he came to his senses, he was inside his private jet.
A flight attendant came running and asked with a worried expression.
“jack! are you okay? Did you have a nightmare?”
Whoop-
The man broke into a cold sweat and let out a sigh of relief.
It was all a dream.
“I’m okay. I had a dream in which you bit my precious tooth!”
food-
The flight attendant smiled, poured the man a glass of water, and returned to her seat.
gulp-
After emptying the glass, the man took out an aluminum case bag from under his chair and placed it on the table.
click-
I unlocked the lock and opened the bag.
Inside was a golden chest.
‘I’ve done enough.’
For the past 15 years, he has been traveling the world with a golden chest, searching for mysterious altars.
Those altars were ‘magic lifts’ that allowed you to enter the place where the gold was.
Fifteen years ago, a man returned to the United States from Korea after stealing a golden box from a college classmate.
And found an altar on Lake Superior.
Lake Superior was one of the five great lakes and the largest freshwater lake in the world.
An altar was hidden on an island floating in the lake.
Even the gold you find there will never be used up in your lifetime.
But the man’s greed knew no bounds.
He traveled around the world in a private plane he bought by selling gold to find a new altar.
He visited 32 altars in 15 years.
But not all the altars on Earth were found.
It was because the extreme cold regions and the boiling volcanic regions were completely inaccessible.
Sometimes there were altars guarded by natives or soldiers.
I only remembered the location of such a place, but I couldn’t access it.
Still, I felt like I had found more than 90% of all the altars on Earth.
‘It’s time to stop doing this.’
He memorized the location coordinates of the 32 altars in his head down to the second.
It was impossible to write down the location of the altar for fear of being discovered by others.
He closed his eyes and began to recite the coordinates in his mind.
‘+0477391, -0857422, +0360…’
It was his habit to recite the 32 coordinates as if praying the rosary.
Elementary school students participating in the π memorization contest memorize hundreds of digits within a week.
As a graduate of a prestigious university, there was no reason why he couldn’t memorize hundreds of numbers for 15 years.
The reason the man did this was because of the anxiety that someday a transcendent being might appear and take away everything from him.
That anxiety arose from the discovery of the remains of a giant in the Grand Canyon.
Experts were called in to examine the material of the weapons and armor, but they were not earth metal.
Seeing that even a diamond tool could not make a single scratch, it was far beyond human technology.
So, if a being with such technical power appears, everything can be taken away without being able to resist.
‘Even if I die, I can’t be taken away!’
.
.
.
The private plane landed at Las Vegas Airport.
After a while, the immigration officer boarded the plane.
Passengers on private jets could go through immigration procedures on their own planes.
‘This is why everyone wants to be rich!’
The man got off the plane and immediately got into the limousine.
And headed to Las Vegas Main Strip.
After a while, I arrived at the hotel where my lover was waiting for me.
Accompanied by the bodyguards, I passed through the hotel lobby and arrived at my room.
I tried to knock on the room door, but the door just opened.
I thought that my lover, who had a clumsy personality, hadn’t locked the door properly.
The man entered the room.
But it wasn’t his lover who was waiting for him.
A strange man stood in the center of the living room.
“Who is it!”
At Alex’s cry, the bodyguards drew their pistols and pointed them at the man.
“stop.”
Under Choi Min-hyuk’s order, all the bodyguards hardened like ice.
Alex slammed them.
“What are you doing? Don’t shoot fast!”
But nobody listened.
Only then did Alex stare at Choi Min-hyuk in shock.
Alex’s pupils widened.
‘Why now!’
I could tell by intuition.
It was clear that the man in front of her was the transcendent existence she feared so much.
He came to take everything from himself.
Choi Minhyuk reached out to Alex and said.
“Give me the golden box.”
Then, Alex handed the aluminum bag to Choi Min-hyeok.
