Chapter 201 – Chapter 11-Memories?

‘..What trick is this again?’

Who are you all of a sudden?

Are you trying to pretend that you have amnesia?

Did I look so carefree?

“…Are you trying to pretend you have amnesia?”

“Now, wait a minute. Amnesia. What are you talking about again?”

“It’s not a very common disease, and there’s no way you’ll get it this badly. You tried to kill yourself and failed, so it seems like you’re trying to play tricks now, but that doesn’t work.”

“…Self-determination? I’m really sorry, but the current situation is…”

She didn’t know if it was smoke or real, her eyes twitched from side to side, then she looked at the floor and twisted in surprise when she saw a huge amount of blood.

“This, what is this blood?! Did it come from my own body?!”

“Then it came from that side, where did it rise from the ground?”

“No, no, it’s strange! If it’s this amount, it’s normal to die from excessive blood loss or at least be in a coma! How can a human body bleed so much!”

“How do I know that? The blood kinsman would know that.”

“Blood bridge?!”

Her eyes widened and her mouth hung open.

It’s to the point where I wonder if it’s really the same person as the person who was almost expressionless.

‘..She’s really good at acting.’

Maybe it’s not really smoke? It was method acting to the extent that I could automatically think of that.

But common sense doesn’t mean it can’t.

That someone who was taken prisoner suffers amnesia at just the right moment?

No matter how much I thought about it, it made more sense to think that I was trying to escape by acting.

“…What is it?”

“Ah. Master…”

With that in mind, just as I was contemplating how to remove this woman’s mask, Master came up from behind and held out her neck over my shoulder.

At that moment, Master’s body odor entered her nose and she couldn’t help but flinch because she remembered what had happened that night, but she succeeded in maintaining her composure as much as possible.

Master doesn’t seem to remember what happened in the middle of the night, so I just have to pretend I don’t know.

“Yes, this woman seems to be claiming that she has amnesia, but no matter how you look at it…”

So I tried to calmly explain the situation, but Master’s reaction came first.

“…Who the hell are you?”

“Yes?”

“To?”

An attitude as if you were seeing someone for the first time.

To that strange attitude, she and I reacted almost the same way.

“…It’s been like this since the first time I saw him, but I wondered if it was because he was a Jiangshi, and today it’s even more distorted. What the hell happened overnight?”

“S-Master. What the hell is that…”

“Yes. The feeling is similar to the first time I saw you. The energy of the body is greatly damaged and the soul is not in harmony with the body.”

‘…What?’

Like the first time you saw me?

Then maybe this woman…

“Ahhh… What the hell is this…”

“Hey, hey. Are you from Earth, too?”

“…N, yes? What is the earth? Is it the name of the country? Yes, I was born and raised in Jungwon…”

…That’s not it.

I wondered what Master had said, but it didn’t seem like it.

The excitement of wanting to meet someone from the same town for the first time in a while calmed down again.

“..I don’t think I’m a trend person.”

“I thought it wasn’t like that, so I was going to tell you, but you asked first.”

“…”

“Anyway, I don’t think it’s a lie to say that you lost your memory. As you said, I can’t deny the possibility that it’s acting, but if you’re in that state, your mental state will be quite confused. As I said, you’re in a similar state to when I first met you.”

“Eh, that’s right! Seeing that I’m tied up, I don’t think I’m a good person for you, but..! Sa, can I ask you to explain the situation!”

…I briefly looked back on the first time I met Master.

Falling into an unfamiliar world without knowing why, the mind is confused and the body is in the worst state.

“…Good. It’s not difficult to explain the situation.”

Even if it was true, I would not feel unfair if I knew why it was true, so I decided to explain the situation.

In fact, I didn’t even know her situation, so I told only what I knew.

She died by accident, and later came back to life with something similar to the Jiangshi at the hands of the blood bridge, killing countless people in the village and trying to kill us as well.

And her reaction to hearing that…

“J-J-Me? Even dead?”

It was so embarrassing that I wondered if it was real acting again.

“…I’m going to ask you, right now your body is yours, right?”

“…Yes?”

“If you come to your senses, you might think that you are not in your own body, but in someone else’s body, or something like that.”

“Uh..”

She listened to me and began examining herself while being tied up for a while.

“Isn’t it my body?”

“No?”

“My, my body has grown a lot more than I remember.. Gah, my breasts.. I think my hips have grown too… My thighs…”

“…”

I quietly brought the mirror in front of her and held it.

“Ah.. I think I’m right. I think I’m right.. I feel like I’m a little older..?”

“By memory, how old are you?”

“Hey, I’m fourteen years old…”

Oh 14 years old…

“…Wait. How old are you?”

“14 years old…”

“…Yesterday, you said you died at the age of 21?”

“That’s right? Then, when you grow up, it will be like this…”

…I was dazed for a moment in an unexpected situation.

I thought it was possible until memory loss, but if this happens…

“Geez, you really only remember until you were 14? Don’t you remember anything vaguely?”

“Oh, no! Well, I thought I did something wrong, so I stayed still, but from my point of view, I woke up after training and suddenly I was in this situation..! My body is tied up, but it has grown so much..!”

..Only the body is an adult, but the inside is a complete child.

I was taken aback for a moment, so I thought I should let him go, but I quickly regained my senses.

What if this really is acting?

What if he deliberately exploits his youth to be freed and then reveals his true colors?

“…I’ll listen to them for now, but I won’t fully believe them. I won’t let go of the rope. Even if I lose my memory, it won’t go away for what they did to us.”

“…I didn’t even want that much. Master, if a person commits a crime, he will be punished and apologized..”

She paused in her speech, and then she started apologizing very quickly.

“Th-Come to think of it, I didn’t even apologize! I’m sorry! Rain, even though I don’t remember, you almost died because of me… I’m so sorry! I’ll pay for this crime somehow!”

“…Yes?”

“What, what do you want? I don’t think I’ll be able to pay it back even if I pay that much for the rest of my life. ? Even if it looks like this, it’s first-class, so it’ll be useful as an escort! I can easily subdue about 7 strongmen!”

“…Excuse me.”

“Yeah, is it really hard for you? Yes, that’s right… He was the one who tried to take his own life… I, if you want my life, I’ll do it! But I really don’t care, but before I die, wouldn’t it be great if you let me hear from Master! I won’t even ask for anything, so it’s just that he’s alive and well…! He’s famous, so it won’t be difficult to find out!”

“…Ha.”

I moved my forehead as I listened to her words that continued like a rapid-fire gun.

And I thought.

If this is really acting, this woman is really smart, and she can even use people’s hearts.

“…Don’t kill me.”

“The sword of the volcanic wave… Yes?”

“Anyway, even before I lost my memory, I handed it over to the Moorim Meng to extract information, but I didn’t want to kill it right away. If my memory was gone like that, no information would remain.”

“Well, then…”

“…Of course, the suspicion isn’t completely resolved yet, so I’m going to tie it up. If you’re really sorry, try searching your memory to see if you remember anything during that time. Because that’s all I want right now.”

– Wide open

At my words, a pure bright smile bloomed on her face.

“Sah, are you saving me?”

“If you do anything suspicious, I’ll kill you right away.”

“Gwa, it’s okay! I’m good at sitting still! When I practice meditation, I’ve tried several times not moving in the same spot for 12 hours!”

‘…Didn’t I say that I was 14 years old?’

Are all Murim people like that?

I wonder what a person called a teacher could have taught a child to that extent.

If you commit a crime, it is natural to be punished and pay for your sins, but it seems that he was a fairly strict teacher to say that it is okay for a child to take his life obediently like that.

“After the conversation is over, can you step aside for a moment?

“Ah! It’s my blood, so I’ll wipe it…”

“I need to free you for you to wipe. Just stay still.”

After going to get her rag to wipe her blood, Dang Ah-yeong, who had been quietly listening to our conversation next to her, moved her to her side and wiped off her blood on the floor.

“…Are you okay? He’s the one who tried to kill Sojeo.”

“As you said, you didn’t mean to kill me right away, right? I tied you up anyway, and your teacher is with you, so let’s watch for a while. If that’s real and not acting, I feel a bit pitiful.”

“What about Master? Do you think you know if that’s true?”

“…I wasn’t listening.”

“…”

That’s how one person’s status changed from a prisoner of the Blood Bridge to a prisoner who may have lost his memory.

And..

“Well, then, I’m really embarrassed, but can I ask you a favor?”

“What is it?”

– Growl

“Uh, if you’re going to keep it alive anyway, could you give me something to eat? It’s okay even if it’s Byeokgokdan..”

…It seemed that he had changed to a body that had to eat while losing his memory.
