Chapter 73: Where Beans Are Planted, Beans Grow
A Basilisk's Fang found in the West Sea rift. Although not made by Hong Ye-seong, it was said to be crafted by Hong Ye-seong.
Even without considering the engraving, Hong Ye-seong's claim had some credibility when thinking about the nature of the Basilisk's Fang. Children resemble their parents; beans grow where beans are sown, and red beans where red beans are sown.
When Cha Eui-jae fell silent, deep in thought, Hong Ye-seong began to whine.
"Hmm? Hmm? Oh, please tell me. I'm dying of curiosity."
He was just like the Basilisk's Fang, making claims of his own accord.
However, the "father" of the Basilisk's Fang, Hong Ye-seong, knew nothing about the rift in the West Sea. Simply thinking, it seemed that it was made by another Hong Ye-seong, not the one in front of him. A rift where time and space are twisted wasn't a mere wild fantasy now. Cha Eui-jae had already confirmed its possibility.
"There are many cases where they have the same names and faces but are different people."
Hong Ye-seong didn't appear in the fragments shown by Yoon Ga-eul. However, the fragments seen back then were part of the destroyed world that Yoon Ga-eul had pieced together, so somewhere, there would exist a fragment where he appeared. Cha Eui-jae gazed absentmindedly at the grass swaying with the wind.
'I need to meet Yoon Ga-eul again...'
If he could find out how the Basilisk's Fang made by the Hong Ye-seong in the fragments appeared in the West Sea rift... it might help rescue the people buried in it. He also needed to ask more about the apocalypse.
As Cha Eui-jae remained silent, Hong Ye-seong, waiting for him to speak, started tapping the floor with his foot.
"Hey? Secretary? You are listening to me, right? Are you thinking? I'll wait?"
