Chapter 1246: Hot (8)
Heung Gi, unusually polite, requested that I remove my mask.
When I was alone in the dense darkness, if the one who controlled the darkness approached and said such words, I would have likely been filled with various thoughts. But what filled my mind now was a single question.
‘Why?’
I needed to find the answer.
It wasn't about why Heung Gi had lost his mind. I already knew that Heung Gi was mad, and that understanding formed the basis of my thoughts.
The question that troubled me was why Heung Gi wasn't acting out of control, but instead maintaining a relatively polite attitude.
‘Yong Jegun must have driven Heung Gi crazy after messing around with him for a while before making his wish and fleeing. His temper must be at its peak.’
When I suggested using the remnants of the nightmare as bait, Yong Jegun, who was on our side, wore an expression that was mischievous enough to make me thankful he was an ally. He seemed to enjoy the idea far too much for someone who would be playing a dangerous role, and it made me uneasy. But since there was no one else to do it, I had to go along with it.
Yong Jegun had been looking forward to luring Heung Gi, so it was impossible that he had just quietly copied me.
That wasn’t all.
‘I’m wearing the Crow Mask now. The dark forces, as well as their subordinates, must know what this mask symbolizes. Why aren’t they attacking me immediately?’
The mask could be easily removed after neutralizing me in battle.
