Chapter 138 – 137. Search Meticulously!

Knowing the original does not make everything easy.

A place where only the area where the incident occurred is marked and no detailed description of the place is made.
Ambiguous sentences, such as finding evidence after just a few hours of searching.

If there is such an explanation, no matter how much the country is, it will inevitably take time.

This disappearance investigation is a representative example.

Even when they were investigating the disappearance case at BlackBl, they said that no evidence was found no matter how many times they searched, and they searched again the next day.

After repeating that about 3 times, the main character has a foreboding feeling! The request was carried out in such a way that by using the same protagonist’s unique senses, he would rescue a child who was about to be kidnapped by chance and find a space where the kidnapped children were confined.

‘But it can’t take too long.’

Proceeding according to the original story is easy to predict and smooth, but the disappearance case cannot be left unattended.

Besides, since Sihun promised to defeat Rasbos, the main character, instead of me, I have to do everything I can to quickly and safely carry out the request.

‘Well, if things don’t go well, Sihun will also call in more.’

In the first place, there is no stubbornness about not receiving help from Sihun.
The priority is always to resolve the request smoothly.

“Sniff sniff, sniff, uhm~ It doesn’t happen around here. Let’s go somewhere else!”

For an hour, we searched the city, relying on Chisaki’s nose.

“Are you really thinking of finding it this way?”

At first, I followed it quietly, but then I couldn’t stand it, so Kang Seol-hwa asked me as if arguing.

It wasn’t that I didn’t understand.
From the outside, it might look like they’re joking around while they’re investigating.

“This is the surest and fastest way to find it. The only clue we have is the testimony that Choi Jun-gu’s younger brother has disappeared in the city. Kang Seol-hwa, do you have another room?”
“…Let’s check the CCTV, okay?”
“That’s it, of course, I checked. That’s why I made the scope of Chisaki’s search limited.”
“Have you already done that? Why are you saying that now?”
“Sorry, I thought you already knew because I didn’t ask at first.”
“I’m sorry…!”

I didn’t say it on purpose, but it was nice to see Kang Seol-hwa’s slightly annoyed face.

The frowning feeling is so cute.

“Um, should I go home and bring my brother’s shoes over there? Then can I find them better?”

On the other hand, Choi Jun-gu went to Chisaki’s side and asked about it with the feeling of grabbing at least a straw.

“No, it’s okay. I hate the smell of shoes because the smell is more than just clothes.”
“That, that’s right…”
“Sniff… Sniff… Hmm? Oh? Something smells like it?

Then Chisaki called me to see if he had found a clue.

“It seems like there’s some progress?”
“Really…?”

I approached Chisaki with Kang Seol-hwa, who was puzzled.

“Did you entrust something, Chisaki?”
“Yeah. It’s faint, but it smells like his younger brother.”
“Really!? Eh, where!?”
“I’m looking for it now. Sniff… Sniff… Ummm… This way!”

Chasing after Chisaki, who quickly ran out, arrived at a dark alley.

“It’s the most intense here.”
“Here?”
“Choi Jun-goo, do you know this place?
“No. I don’t know a place like this. My younger brother isn’t the type to wander around in a place like this…”
“Chisaki, I think this is the most important thing.”
“I know, priest. Sniff… Sniff… Mmm! Here it is!”

Chisaki sniffed all over the back alley and pointed to the middle of the wall.

“The strong smell has stopped here!”
“From here? This is… A wall.”
“Namil-ah! Namil-ah! Are you there!? Namil-ah!”

Choi Jun-goo knocked on the wall, frantic in the hope that he could almost find his little brother.

But even when he knocked on the wall and shouted, he couldn’t hear an answer from inside the wall.

“Hey, calm down.”

Grabbing Choi Jun-gu and removing him from the wall, he first calmed him down.

“Mi-sorry. But Namil… My younger brother…”
“I understand how you feel. But calm down and wait. You found the biggest trace, right?”
“Okay. Sorry.”

He calmed down Choi Jun-gu and asked Kang Seol-hwa.

“Kang Seol-hwa, what do you think?”
“What do you think?”
“Chisaki was able to trace the smell all this way. But the smell stopped there. Any guesses as to why this happened?”

If we solve everything by ourselves, there is no room for Kang Seol-hwa to step forward, so first of all, we have to give Kang Seol-hwa the feeling that we have solved this problem together.

Seolhwa Kang wrapped her arms around her and held her chin, thinking about her for a moment.

Grade 2 brains are rolling now.

“If this is possible… No, I can’t believe it… But considering the circumstances…”

Kang Seol-hwa, who is somewhat confused, but seems to be unsure, talking to herself.

At times like this, it’s quicker to talk to them and force them to come to a conclusion.

“Do you have anything in mind? Anything is fine right now, so tell me. I have to keep any possibility in mind.”
“…Okay.”

Kang Seol-hwa explained as she untied her hand from her chin and crossed her arms.

“The hypothesis I’ve come up with… Is that Stranger is involved in this case.”
“A Stranger!?”
“Oh! Stranger?”

Choi Jun-goo was astonished at Kang Seol-hwa’s hypothesis, and Chisaki was interested.

“It’s just a hypothesis. Denrai, did you say that the smell was completely cut off from this wall?”
“Yeah. It only stayed strong near this wall, and there were no traces of the smell coming from anywhere else.”
“Normally that can’t happen. If you can think of it… All I can think of is that I’ve moved from here to a completely different space.”
“In other words, is that what you mean? That the Stranger is involved in this incident and that he kidnapped the children by creating a subspace, one of the Stranger’s abilities, on this wall.”
“…That’s right.”
“I, Namil-ah…!”

Subspace.

Like teleportation, it was one of the abilities Stranger had.

In the case of Steel Mountain, it is said that he did not use this ability because it was annoying, but on the other hand, Lukchia often used this ability for kidnapping.

There were often scenes where other strangers used this subspace when meeting with the same stranger.

Thinking about this hypothesis by thinking about it for a while.
Again, it was a snowfall.

“That’s a good idea. Chisaki, don’t you think so too?”
“Huh? I don’t know! Well, if the priest is good, it’s good!”

It was wrong to expect too much from Chisaki.

“Eh, Eldra! Namil is! Our Namil is safe!?”

Choi Jun-goo trembled and grabbed my shoulder and shook it.

A precious little brother is caught in Stranger’s subspace.

It’s a situation where you don’t know if you can save your life or not, so you can’t help but feel anxious.

“Don’t worry, I’ll definitely find it. And calm down more. When you’re reunited with your younger brother, isn’t it the dignity of an older brother who is so far away?”
“Okay… Uh. Yes, it will be fine, Namil will be fine…”

Choi Jun-gu somehow calmed himself down by repeating his words.

“Okay. Then, I’ll try my best from here on out.”
“You’re trying to do something? Is there any way? Even if it’s my hypothesis, how to investigate Stranger’s subspace…”
“Eldra has that method.”
“What?”

I took out my cell phone from Hefi and made a call.

-Tip!

[What’s going on, young master!]
“Hubungkun! You have a subspace detection sensor and a forced incision machine?”
[Of course!]
“Send them to the address I just sent you. I have a place to write them!”
[Is that true! Then, this Yoichiro Furuta will carry it himself and go for it! Please wait, you son of a bitch!]

10 minutes later.

“Heo Eok! Heo Eok! Heo Eok! Arrived! Master!”

Houbungkun, gasping for breath with a large bag on his back, arrived.

“Who is that person?”
“We’re scientists from Eldra. Hubungkun, good job!”
“Hubungkun?”
“It’s a nickname.”
“No! If it’s for the boy, I’ll run to the mountains or the sea! And it’s a chance to test the children I’ve been working on!”
“Then, use the detector to find out if a subspace was created.”
“All right!”

Hubungkun immediately took out the probe from his bag.

The subspace probe was shaped like a gun with a large antenna in front and a monitor in the back.

“It will work!”

Back! Houbungkun pulls the trigger and activates the device.
Right after that.

– Beep beep beep beep!

Immediately, a sound came from the explorer and a response began.

“Ohhh! This! Right! I found it right away. The response is that a subspace has been created right on this wall!”
“As expected. Seolhwa Kang, you’re amazing! Your reasoning was correct!”
“Uh, uh, huh? Well, I just came up with the most possibilities.”

Kang Seol-hwa was confused, but tried to hide her embarrassment.

“Besides, this! It’s been less than a day since it was created! At this level, you can forcibly open the subspace with an incisor!”
“U-Is that true!? If that’s true, Namil…!”

At Hubungkun’s words, Choi Jun-goo put more hope in his eyes.

“Take out the Hubunkun incisor.”
“Yes! Master!”

At my command, Hubungkun took out an insulator from his bag.

“Is this… A sword?”

Kang Seol-hwa tilted her head and looked at the incision machine.
Rather than being called an incisor, it had a more appropriate form to be called a sword.

A sword with a vial of red liquid flowing through its center.
That was the shape of what Hubungkun called an incisor.

“Because I can’t handle a sword… Bitch, please! Press the button on the handle and swing your magic toward that wall!”
“Okay, Houbungkun!”

After receiving the incisor from Hubungkun, he immediately pressed the button and released his magic.

Back!

Woo woo woo!

Using magical power as fuel, the liquid inside the bottle reacted and red aura overflowed from the sword.

“This… Is a great energy.”
“Ohhh! It looks like something is burning like a flame!”
“Goes!”

She raised her sword and cut it straight into the wall.

That moment.

So-and-so… !

The air parted and the door to the subspace began to open.
