Chapter 168
Yongno, who got on a train, sat down and leaned back against the backrest. He could have taken the subway, but he made a train reservation in advance because he needed time to think alone for a while.
‘Right. Was I around ten when I was taken into the lab?’
His memories were slowly coming back. Until now, his memories had been suppressed by a special energy, but as his divine nature awakened, and as he utilized internal energy and magic power, that special energy was gradually pushed away.
‘Yeah, I got caught by those military-like assholes… how did things go again?’
But his memory wasn’t perfect. His memories up to the moment he was captured came back, but the memories after being captured were faint, as if they were painted over with black paint. Some places and people came to mind, but they didn’t lead to any particular memories or additional information. Yongno was only left with the sense of having his head immersed in a disgusting pool of dirty water; this sense alluded to the likelihood that his hidden memories were of the not-so-pleasant kind.
“It’s best if you don’t recall this memory, right?”
The speaker was a middle-aged man. Yongno first met him when he was eleven. The middle-aged man had tight skin and grayish hair. The man had left a very strong impression on Yongno, even though they had only met for a brief moment. Thinking back on it now, Yongno felt the man left a deep impression because of his unique atmosphere, which seemed to be slightly different from a human’s.
‘Is it a coincidence that Mary engraved this sign on me? Or is it someone’s plan?’
Yongno constantly doubted and hypothesized. It was important for him to figure out as much as possible so as not to become an unknown power’s pawn in DIO. In addition, it was necessary for Yongno to develop abilities that could be used in reality as much and as soon as possible.
