The Trash Wants to Live

Chapter 36

Proofreader: Naa_chi

I said this to warn Rachel since she was trying to steal the main character in front of me. Certainly, the light from the measuring device was strong. The more intense the light, the more powerful the ability.

That's why he could tame that giant bull in the first place.

Looking at it, he had enormous potential. The more he used his ability, the more he would get accustomed and improve; later on, wouldn't he be able to tame something even more amazing?

"He is mine."

I had absolutely no intention of letting go of Jang Eui Yeol, who rolled into my hands even though I didn't force him. Jang Eui Yeol's face turned red at my words.

"Yes, I'm Yoon Jae's.

"That's too bad. If you ever change your mind, please contact me."

Rachel, facing Jang Eui Yeol, handed him her business card and walked away. Of course, the card was in my hands as soon as she left.

"Here."

"Business card? Why? She gave it to you."

"But I'm Yoon Jae's"

Jang Eui Yeol smiled shyly, saying, "That's why I don't need it."

Right. You're mine, so you can't go anywhere else. No betrayal, ever! I smiled happily and received the business card, but there was a voice that broke the friendly atmosphere.

"This fu It's so annoying."

Jung Yi Joon, who had just woken up, was staring at the two of us with his eyes wide open.

"What do you mean hes yours? What did you do to that bastard? Do you want to die?"

"What do you mean?"

I hadnt done anything to Jang Eui Yeol. If anything, I did it to Jung Yi Joon. I felt sorry for Jung Yi Joon who had been molested several times after I stole his first kiss. Tsk, tsk you should get married. I saw Jung Yi Joon's eyebrows twitching.

"What? Why are you looking at me like that? What did you do with that bastard?

"I didn't do anything!"

I answered him, but it ended as an unsuccessful attempt. Trying to back up my answer, I shouted at Jang Eui Yeol to tell him what I had done right, to see if his paranoia would go away. Was this the behavior of a person who had just woken up after fainting?

"I couldn't do anything

"Really? Then that's fine."

When Jang Eui Yeol spoke sullenly, Jung Yi Joon finally felt satisfied and looked around.

"Where am I? How did you get out of there?

As Jung Yi Joon had fainted in the forest after being chased by a dinosaur, it probably seemed strange to him that he had suddenly come back to the real world.

"After you fainted, Eui Yeol awakened his ability. We managed to escape, and later, Jae Hyuk came to save me. Then, we broke the dimension stone together and came out."

I was thinking of telling him the whole truth, but I skipped it because I thought our relationship would go wrong if he knew that I had molested him. Jung Yi Joon seemed a little skeptical, but he stopped thinking too deeply about it since he was still not feeling well.

As I was looking at Jung Yi Joon, who had fallen asleep again saying he would rest a little longer, Ki Hyun Joo, who decided to come to me in person, caused a stir.

Why aren't you answering my call?

Ah I was having a conversation.

Did those people come here? You heard the story of the traitor from them? I can't believe it

Ki Hyun Joo bit her thumbnail nervously. Sungwoon associates usually held themselves proudly due to being a part of Sungwoon, but it seemed that she was shocked by the appearance of a traitor who was blinded by profit.

It even made me angry for a moment, and I just started living as Ki Yoon Jae. I wonder how much of a shock it was for others.

It was even more shocking because a heavily guarded hospital room was easily infiltrated by an outsider due to the traitor. I was glad she was just here to talk, what if it was someone who had come to assassinate or coerce the person inside? Everyone would laugh at the easily breached Sungwoon, and they would no longer trust Sungwoon or the VIP room at Sungwoon Medical Center. This was an incident that could have ruined the Sungwoon name and weakened the trust that the name carried.

"So? What about the traitor?"

"I kicked her out, of course! Still, does she have a conscience? When I told her I knew everything, she didn't deny it. How dare she tarnish Sungwoon's name with such a thing? I'm afraid we'll have to work very hard to keep surviving in Korea from now on. Before that, I'm going to send her into a jail cell. Hmph."

Suddenly, Ki Hyun Joo, who was starting to get angry, laughed as if she thought of something pleasant. When I asked what happened, she smiled and said.

"You know the bull you brought?

"Oh, that one"

"I had nowhere to put it, and I couldnt leave it in just any barn, so I took it to our mansion. But the Americans wanted it so badly that they stuck themselves to the wall of our mansion and wouldn't leave.

Ki Hyun Joo smiled happily as if she had received a lot of gifts from the little turds. With a sassy attitude, she said that it was funny to watch them cling to the walls like a bunch of horny dogs.

"Those people said whatever they wanted, saying things like you were probably dead, and when you came back alive and even brought out a bull with you, their eyes flipped so fast it's not even funny."

"I see."

"Even when I tried to let guild members in, they wouldn't let me in. How dare they In Sungwoon territory

Guild members. Come to think of it, they didnt allow the guild members in, but let Kwon Jae Hyuk in? He wasnt blocked by the U.S. government agents? This question arose in my mind.

"By the way"

"Yes?"

"They only let Jae Hyuk Hyung go and blocked the other guild members?"

"Oh That"

Ki Hyun Joo hesitated a little. She glanced at Jang Eui Yeol who was listening quietly.

"It's okay. Just say it here."

Of course, it was because he was my person. However, the main reason was that according to Jang Eui Yeol's personality, there was no way he would tell anyone. So it wouldn't be a problem to tell him unless it was a huge secret. It would be death if he betrayed me after I believed in him so much! Anyway, Ki Hyun Joo opened her mouth once I reassured her.

"Kwon Jae Hyuk, who is he?"

"Huh?"

"He is suspicious. You've known him for a long time. Don't you feel anything suspicious?

"Oh? Well"

I didn't have any memory of the past, so I wasnt sure Ki Hyun Joo sighed in frustration as I didn't seem to remember anything.

"The agents were blocking the way so the guild members couldn't get in, and then he suddenly came in and said he didn't need anyone else, that he would go in by himself. Then he suddenly disappeared, hit those who blocked the entrance, and went inside!

Ki Hyun Joo said that he disappeared as if he was teleporting, then jumped to the other side of the room to imitate that.

Of course, her actions didn't look like teleportation and it was funny, but I endured it because I thought I would be hit on the back if I laughed.

"I've never seen him move like that! If I hadnt known what his ability was, I would have assumed he had it as a movement ability!"

"I've seen Ha Eun Seo's stealth ability but this was different. How should I say it? It was more like a physical skill than an ability. But it doesn't make sense. No matter how gifted he is, how can he move like teleportation?

She fell silent.

Currently, only gifted people used abilities, but like all manhwa and novels, power inflation would occur in the near future.

Power inflation was a phenomenon in which people, rivals, and villains became stronger as the protagonist became stronger in manhwas and novels. In the future, like economic inflation, power was overflowing, so it was called a power inflation that could break down the earth with just one finger and destroy the universe.

Well, that was an extreme level Anyways, people devised new ways to use the Force, the source of their unusual abilities, to overcome the power inflation caused by the monsters.

Maybe he knows one of the ways.

In my mind, Kwon Jae-Hyuk gradually became more suspicious. How did he know about it? Did he really know the future because he was a possessor like me? Or did he have the power to glimpse into the future and find information?

Knowing the future

Looking at the future

The future

Various speculations and assumptions passed by my mind. I was surprised by the words that came to mind in such passing assumptions.

Was he a regressor?

As soon as the idea of a regressor came to mind, it felt like a lightning strike in my head. When I factored in that Kwon Jae Hyuk was a regressor, it made sense.

The fact that he handled the gate boss by himself, and how he didnt have a movement-related ability, but he disappeared like it was teleportation

If he was simply possessed, he should have known only mechanical information like me. While I would naturally know the different abilities that were given to me, I still had to learn and develop other abilities. However, the original story didn't go into detail on how to develop and learn such things, so the abilities he showed weren't explained enough in the book to say that he was possessed.

And the dimension stone.

Luckily, he happened to defeat the boss. So he must have seen the exit that appeared from the boss's body.

How could he think there would be another way to exit when there was already such an exit there? And how did he know that it was the dimension stone, and that if he broke it, he would be able to get out?

I tried to picture Kwon Jae-Hyuk again. The man I met at the entrance of the cave was unscathed and calm. Like someone who had already cleared gates countless times, very skillfully.
