Chapter 226 – The Three Caves of Kyoto #2

@@

Adele was now quite agitated.
Because the trip with Sehwa was very fun.
I wanted to go again. Next time with Jihyeok and her older sisters.

Currently, she broke up after hugging Sehwa at the airport.
He deliberately told Ji-hyeok a different time of her arrival.
Because I wanted to surprise him.

Voila in front of him working hard in the lab! What kind of reaction will you show when you show up?
At the very least, it was clear that he would give her a broken hug or a welcome kiss all over her face.
Adele was walking towards the taxi stand with a large bag on her face, happily.
She tilted her head abruptly.

“Uh…?”

I felt a familiar, ominous aura.
Maggie right away. Magi existed at Gimpo Airport.
After looking around her, she moved to a place away from her.
Then she focused her mind.

It was a very crowded place.
There are also many cameras, so you shouldn’t fully open your power.
Just faint. Just use it enough to continuously detect magi.

Ugh-!

An almost invisible light glowed from Adele’s body and then disappeared in an instant. Adele rolled her eyes and looked around.

‘Whoever saw it…’

None! People were busily going their way as if nothing had happened!
She was also a very cold-hearted beast slayer herself!
Self-confident Adele saw the blurry traces of the black demon before her eyes, and she began to follow them.

The trail led inside the airport.
Right now, this demonic energy was absolutely not emitted by a monster.
I was sure. This used to be… Because she had felt it when she arrived on Earth with Sylvia.
It was clearly a peculiar unpleasant aura emanating from a human being engulfed by demonic energy.
Besides, if the monster appeared, the airport couldn’t be this peaceful.

Returning the way she came, Adele gulped down her saliva as her magic continued to the women’s bathroom in the corner.
She fiddled with a device disguised as her watch.
Purification is the top priority, but when something really unavoidable happens, you transform.
I hate to have my identity exposed, but it’s okay because Ji-hyeok will take care of it.

“After…! After!”

She put her hand on her chest and took a deep breath. She went inside, ready to transform at any moment.

“Yes, sir. I know.”

A small, beautiful voice came from the road in the far corner.
Magi just happened to lead that way… There was no one else in the bathroom.
By the way, are you talking on the phone right now?
If so, you might be able to catch a clue related to Tairat.
Thinking so, Adele went to her barn and pricked up her ears.

“A manager? It’s okay even if you don’t have it. No one knows.”

The voice was so low that it seemed like a whisper, but I could barely hear it because the bathroom was quiet.
No need for a manager, no one to recognize?
She seemed to be a celebrity. Not very famous.

“Yeah…Now? It’s an airport, and I got a boarding pass from a kiosk. All right. Thank you.”

Just listening to their conversation, she seemed like someone who hadn’t been encroached on by demons at all.
That made her Adele even more creepy.
The humans who were encroached on in the last Grand Canyon were limp like zombies.
But look at what they’re talking about now. She was completely normal.

I was afraid that there would be more people like this.
I was relieved at the same time. If it hadn’t been for the holy power, it would have passed without even noticing it.
Adele said a prayer of thanks to Rosario, and when the phone seemed to be disconnected, she quickly went into the side aisle and quietly exerted herself.

Whoa-!

The condensed golden light entered the shaft and affected the encroached person.
The dirty magic is being erased. I feel that my corrupted mind has been purified and returned to its original state.

“Ah…!”

A short exclamation was then heard.
A voice that seemed to be freed from something.
It is clear that he felt refreshed as the unpleasant magic that filled his insides was erased.
After completing the cleanup, Adele smiled brightly.

‘Will Jihyeok praise me?’

Adele, giggling as she imagined Jihyeok’s reaction upon hearing her own saga, came out of the saloon and pretended to wash her hands.
It was for a natural interrogation.
If he asked too much, he might get reported, but fortunately he knew some of that person’s information.
This will allow you to dig up information.

After a while, the passage opened and a very pretty woman came toward the washbasin with a bright expression on her face.
Adele took the opportunity to start her acting career.
Adele asked, examining the woman’s face in the mirror.

“Uh…? Maybe… Isn’t that him?”

“Yes…? Is he…?”

The question of a surprised woman. She pretended that Adele was brooding over something about her, then she said.

“A celebrity! I think I saw it in a drama… Was it a movie?”

At those words, the corner of the woman’s mouth went up awkwardly.
It seemed like he was happy to see someone who recognized him, but he also seemed embarrassed.
After washing her hands, she asked as she pulled out her hand towel.

“Which drama did you watch?”

Adele, who was stinging inwardly at the question, tried to put on a calm expression.
You just need to know the name. Then you will be able to find it in the search bar of the portal site.

“That… I don’t remember. I think it was a romance drama…”

“Romance? Distributed by TVI?”

“Right! That’s it!”

“I came out as a minor role. Did you get to know me well?”

“I remember faces well.”

Adele laughed and scratched the back of her head.
What more do we need to do here? As I thought about it, the woman held out her hand.

“It is called wisdom. Jihye Lee.”

Adele, who held out her hand, said with a smile.

“Please sign! Please take a picture too!”

The jackpot has exploded! Detective play is very successful!
Now you can tell Jihyeok to investigate this person!

**

“Mr. Jihyeok! Mr. Jihyeok!”

Am I dreaming right now?
Why can I hear Adele’s voice? She thought she’d come back a while later.
I was sleeping in the doctor’s lounge in her lab. When I opened my eyes, I saw Adele’s face in front of her, which she had longed to see.

“Adele…? How is this… Did I oversleep…?”

“No! I came to Jihyeok secretly first! I want to surprise you! But that’s not the problem, listen to me!”

Adele whimpered and grabbed my arms.
As I sat on the bed rubbing her eyes, Adele gave her a puzzled expression as she looked at her bright eyes.

“What happened all of a sudden? Why?”

“I solved a case!”

“Incident?”

“Now, look at this first!”

Adele rummaged through her phone and showed me a picture from her gallery.
A photo of Adele and another woman.
Seeing that, I couldn’t help but roll my eyes.

‘This…’

The woman smiling next to Adele was Lee Ji-hye.
An actor belonging to WW Entertainment who fed my malicious blood and made it a safe house.
Why is this woman with Adele?
An anxious mind sprouts. Could it be… Has it been purified?
Keep calm, stay calm The first thing to do is to listen to the story first.

“She is a pretty woman. Are you a celebrity?”

“Right! My name is Lee Ji-hye, and she is an actress belonging to WW Entertainment! She is not famous.”

“But why are you making such a fuss…”

“I’ll tell you everything from now on, so pay attention! I got off at the airport today and…”

Adele smiled bashfully and began to explain the whole situation.
And as her story continued, my face hardened.
The situation was brief.
Adele found her wisdom by accident and purified her.
Ji-hye probably thought she was going down to Jeju Island for filming, and she was discovered by Adele.

‘It’s not a very serious incident…’

Adele doesn’t know that I have an agreement with WW Entertainment.
It was natural. Adele would have never had a proper conversation with purified wisdom.
Just taking pictures, getting autographs, and exchanging a few words would be the end.
It was never a matter of importance. All you have to do is cut off her tail.
But the fact that this happened was irritating.

I looked down at Adele, who was floundering in front of her eyes like a puppy craving her compliments.
Adele… My Adele…
Who told you to do something you weren’t told to do? Huh?
Can’t you please stop using that fucking divine power?
If this is the case, you should also tell Bo-yeong to be careful with her behavior.

I said, stroking her light blonde hair.

“Well done. I’m proud of you. But it was a risky move. Next time something like this happens, please contact me first and explain the situation.”

When I said it in a rather stern tone, as if scolding, Adele lowered her head slightly with her sullen face.

“I thought it would be helpful… And it wasn’t that dangerous…”

It’s cute how she wiggles her fingers as she quickly turns into a low pressure.

“It was a huge help. Now I have to look into WW Entertainment.”

“Yes…? Did I do well?”

“Yes. Well done. Promise me though. We will discuss and act in the future.”

“I promise… I will never try to do anything alone again.”

Laughter leaked out when I saw the slightly twisted tone.
I asked, having enjoyed the joy of her reunion for a long time as I hugged her tightly.

“Did you buy a present?”

“Yes…But I won’t give it to you right now.”

“Why?”

“Later… I’ll give it to you tomorrow night…”

At night? Did you buy some quality oil?

“I see.”

“I’m tired from being so tense up until now, can I sleep here for a while?”

“Of course. While Adele is sleeping, I will have to investigate Jihye Lee.”

“Wake me up when the investigation is over.”

“Yes.”

Indoors Adele takes off her slippers and climbs onto the bed.
After covering her with the blanket and giving her a benevolent smile, I came out of her and sat down in front of her dashboard.
After that, I pressed my temples on both sides.

A safe house that only I knew that neither Sehwa nor Marcella knew about had disappeared.
I don’t think it’s a waste because it wasn’t such a big effort, but I was definitely alert.
Even if you’ve almost submerged the Earth, don’t let your guard down.

I sneaked out of the lab and called Bo-young.

-Yes, CEO.

“I’ll ask Marcella to help you with your agency transfer while taking care of your job, so finish it the day after tomorrow. And focus on raising Stella. Don’t even think about going anywhere.”

-All right.

I hung up the phone and tried to go back inside.

Ugh-!

I got a text from an unknown number.

[This is YuRia. If possible, please call this number. I have about 2 hours left.]

Yuriara… It seems she got another cannon phone to avoid the eyes of Dr.
I called her right away.

-Hello.

“How have you been?”

-Yes, Mr. Jihyeok. I’ll start with the dragon. Currently, the doctor is digging through all the cases on his feet. He stopped in Syria and is now in the US.

“You went to Syria yourself?”

-Yes. And I asked a lot of questions about Jihyeok and Sehwa. Does it seem like his personality has suddenly changed, and has he ever been in contact with monsters… Ask these things. I accepted it as I noticed, but then he said something strange again.

“What words?”

-They say that it seems that Tairat has been hiding in the Earth and influencing many people… Sehwa and Jihyeok, and even the doctor himself seem to have been victimized by such tricks…

You didn’t identify me with Tyrat, but you found out quite a bit.

“Right. What is the doctor doing in America now?”

-We are trying to find out what happened from the beginning of the cluster bomb incident until Jihyeok was imprisoned. We’re having trouble with all the prison guards on duty at the time dead… But we’ve confirmed that one is alive. I plan to see you tomorrow.

Are you one? Apparently, at that time, a prison guard named Sinclair talked to him, and in return he showed mercy.
He told him not to come to the place where he was getting paid, to keep his mouth shut and live quietly.

“A prison guard named Sinclair?”

-Right.

Huh, really… You’re researching this far?
If Sinclair mumbles his mouth, the Doctor knows I played very well in the cell.
She pretended to be broken in order to foster her dislike of her human beings, which she has come to have, which she means to be exposed.
As a result, you will be more suspicious of me.

Even if Sinclair had memorized my warning deep in her heart, she would notice the oddity even if she didn’t say anything.
He must be living happily with the money Marcella gave him by now, but he won’t be able to find out the source of the money, but he can fully grasp the financial condition before that with the doctor’s ability.
Besides, if my name was mentioned, Sinclair, who was not an actor but a mere prison guard, would not be able to manage his expression… A doctor with deep insight would surely find something in his expression.

– What should I do?

“Does the Doctor trust you?”

-I definitely believe it.

“If you don’t want to dig any more, if you feel suspicious, just catch it. I’ll leave it up to you.”

-I know. What about Sinclair?

“If your acting is good and the doctor doesn’t pick up anything, leave it alone. Use it as my tip. But the doctor suspects something through the conversation? Then…”

– Yes, I will kill you.

“Yes, thank you for your hard work.”

After hanging up, I grabbed my phone.
The safe house disappeared, and the doctor’s actions…
I thought I was lucky these days, but I guess it wasn’t.
There are so many shitty things happening one after another. In this case, can I escape without using force?
