My Second Life in Another World

Chapter 398: Who Are You?

'No it wouldn't matter even if she appears again,' Soo-young thought looking at the yellow puddle and the carefree Haru, there was a reason why she believed this and that was, 'Once you are caught in his illusion, he can trap you in it again while ignoring every condition the second time.'

The reason Soo-young arrived at this situation was because of what happened when she was caught before.

'I wasn't in his range, I didn't make eye contact with him and I still got trapped because he saw my back, even if some things are unclear this seems like the most plausible theory to me,' Soo-young thought since it could be that Haru's skill was upgraded and his range increased but there were still several things wrong which couldn't be explained even with the level up, not to mention that it has only been a few days since the last time she had seen him.

But leaving everything aside Soo-young only had a few main questions in her head at this moment.

'How long can he keep that skill of his going? And how far can he ignore the conditions or are there still some conditions to it? I need to find answers to these quickly so I can make counter plans,'

"You are looking at him quite intently," Soo-young nearly jumped hearing Hae-in behind her but...

"I was just lost in thought while looking in that direction, it wasn't like I was looking at him," Soo-young said flatly looking at Hae-in but the only thing she could see on her face was a smile.

"Sure, looks like I was mistaken," Hae-in just shrugged with the same smile on her face.

'She somehow pisses me off,' Soo-young thought as Hae-in went ahead towards Haru leaving her alone.

"So, what are we going to do now? We possibly can't leave this thing lying around," Hae-in said looking at the meteorite since if left alone it would just cause another problem.

"Well, we'll need to move this thing, Do you have any issues with that?" Haru said turned to look at Seol-hwa, and...

"I don't have any problems with that," Seol-Hwa shook her head since it would be weird if she did have any problem considering how much trouble this thing could cause if left with her.

"Also thank you for helping me and putting my group members out of danger, I am really grateful for that," She continued bowing her head slightly.

"No problem I did that since there was a chance," Haru waved it off as nothing again before thankfully he moved the people out while he had the time or there would've been quite some casualties.

And with that, they put an end to that topic and went back to the main problem at hand.

"So, the main problem now is how are we going to move this?" Soo-young said because if they decide to leave this here they'll need to split the group to have people look after it.

Because even if they don't have to fear Antinus they'll still need to defend against people who might come after the meteorite not to mention this team would need to be strong enough to deal with the Disaster which will be released eventually.

So, all in all, this would be a daunting task for the people who would be chosen for this since they had no idea how strong these disasters will be, and by chance the team here fails it would take a while for the backup to arrive which might not even arrive since there are two other Disasters to deal with.

And it would be worse if they get sandwiched between them if this one decides to attack them from behind.

But thankfully they didn't have to worry about that since....

"They should be arriving in a bit," Haru said much to the confusion of everyone but before they could ask a question...

[My My, would you look at that Constellations? They actually defeated a Guide who was supposed to help them and stopped the Disaster from appearing even with what little power they had.] The red Dokkaebi arrived in the air with a big grin on his face, [And the plan was exquisite, Human cunningness knows no bounds, if they make up their mind they can reach anywhere, can't they?]

[Many Constellations are laughing while hearing that sentence.]

[Or it could be that the incarnations here are just extraordinary.] The horned Dokkaebi looked at Haru and everyone as his grin just widened.

'What is he doing here?' Dok-ja thought as he looked at the Dokkaebi, he knew this one from the novel and...

[He has his eyes set on that guy.] It was here that Dok-ja heard Bi-hyung's voice in the communication channel.

[Wait you mean he is after...] Dok-ja's eyes widened as he looked at Haru.

[Yes, Do-gak is looking for a way to expand his channel into Korea, that greedy bastard isn't satisfied with what he already has in Tokyo and London Dome.] Bi-hyung sounded extremely salty at this moment since this guy was basically trying to invade his territory while.

[And he is taking the best guy, Dok-ja you have to make sure that he doesn't leave, you know that he is the reason for most of my income, I wouldn't even mind if you go. If he leaves I'll lose a lot of constellations and the income as well.] Bi-hyung stated his income twice because it was important to him, not to mention his channel was about to expand soon because of Haru since he attracted a lot of attention.

'This bastard...' Dok-ja deadpanned since Bi-hyung had a contract with him but he was more worried about Haru leaving, but it wasn't like he couldn't understand it. He knew he would've done the same thing if he was in Bi-hyung's shoes.

'The thing is Haru-ssi alone doesn't attract the constellations his group itself is made of the best incarnations in Seoul and they are possibly the best team in Asia, it is almost like a La Liga's all-star team is playing in an Asian league,' This is exactly why Do-gak was going for Haru, he knew that he would be able to get the others through him and that will immediately make his channel the top channel in Seoul dome.

[I don't think I have a chance at persuading him, you know what I did,] Dok-ja said off-handedly since he had more important things to do and it pissed off Bi-hyung.

[This is why I told you not to do that, now look at this! If you had just stayed close to him you would've had an easy ride, why did you stick your neck out like an idiot!] And Dok-ja just left the communication channel as soon as he heard Bi-hyung going off.

'I, of course, have my reasons for doing it, but I can't explain it to them,' Dok-ja sighed as he saw that they received their rewards and the Dokkaebi had also left while he was talking to Bi-hyung, 'It looks like Do-gak will wait before making his move, I wish you luck Haru-ssi since that Dokkaebi is a piece of shit.'

"What were you zoned out for?" And immediately Soo-young asked him that question, it wasn't like she was worried about him but...

'What is he plotting next?' Soo-young looked at Dok-ja with narrowed eyes, she wouldn't want to be caught in something she had no idea about.

"Don't look at me with those suspicious eyes, I was just thinking," Dok-ja sighed, it seemed like he had been given the reputation of a plotter that takes advantage of other people.

"Alright," Soo-young still didn't look convinced and Dok-ja also had a question for Soo-young.

"Why aren't you going over there?" Dok-ja asked gesturing towards Haru, Hae-in, and Seol-hwa, given how opportunistic Soo-young was she should've gone ahead and involved herself in there.

'Right now if she plays her cards right she can actually become his ally,' Dok-ja thought wondering what was going on with her but...

"They seem too bright to join," Soo-young's answer broke all of the thoughts Dok-ja had as he just shook his head.

'She is definitely plotting something,' Dok-ja still wondered why she used such an edgy dialogue but suddenly he called.

"Dok-ja bring Jung-hyuk and put him in the church so he can rest properly," Haru said as Seol-hwa suggested this seeing how Jung-hyuk was just left on the ceiling of one of the buildings nearby.

"Ok," Dok-ja left quickly as Soo-young glanced at Haru, there were only two thoughts in her mind.

'Who are you? And why do I keep thinking this question?'
