Chapter 143:
Episode 143. The End (2)

Making it easily accessible to people, then snatching up whoever takes the bait. My getting caught in their call was a convenient coincidence.
“Am I the unlucky fish then?”
He smiled brightly.
“No. How could the key that will guide us there be unlucky?”
I see. So that’s why he had been so obsessed with me. Because I came through that gap. Because I was the only key to our world.
Everything fell into place. Why he was so fixated on my soul. Why he put so much effort into trying to break my mind.
Whether this place became real because I recognized it, or whether it was truly an existing world, whether the 21st century would come here too – none of that mattered anymore.
