I Don't Want This Reincarnation [1]

158

After passing the cosmos flower field, Elohim returned home and headed to his room in the far corner of the first floor, holding me.

The first time I came to his room after staying here for a week, it had the same interior structure as mine and Ha Tae-heon's room, but there was a white door next to the bed instead of a window.

"Where are you going..."

"It's okay. Don't be nervous."

Elohim, who walked without hesitation and opened the door, said to me.

"Now, Se-hyun-ah. Look ahead."

I lifted my head, which was resting on his shoulder. It was a little blurry because my eyesight hadn't yet fully returned, but it was enough to see the splendid sight unfolding before my eyes.

A huge temple built of pure white marble could be seen over the wide field. A single ray of golden light descended from the distant sky illuminating the temple and the transparent papers were scattered all around it.

"This is the place where you and I will be staying for the next 70 days. It's a real 'home'."

"Then the place I used to stay..."

"It was made urgently for deceiving eyes. Hm, if you still like it, you can stay there."

"......"

After thinking for a while, I slowly shook my head. Now that Ha Tae-heon was forcedly sent back, even if I was there, he only came to mind. It was better to change the place.

"That's a good choice."

Elohim with a smile as if he understood my feelings entered the temple. There were still many transparent papers floating in the air, even in the temple. I pointed to it.

"What is that?"

"It's what we use when we use our power."

"Who are we?"

"You will see him soon."

Elohim, who entered the first room in the centre of the temple, lowered me on a large bed. All of the senses returned to normal, but my hands still trembled slightly.

'I thought that Cheon Sa-yeon's ability to block the energy was also a scam, but Ha Tae-heon wasn't easy either.'

I looked at my hand and sighed. Then Elohim handed me a glass of water.

"There must be a lot of things you want to know, Se-hyun-ah."

"Of course."

I nodded my head, quenching my thirst with lukewarm water.

"From the novel, how do you know my real name... I'm curious about everything."

"I'll explain them slowly. Every single detail about it. But, there's something you have to do."

I immediately understood the meaning of what he was trying to say. Second price. Putting down the glass of water, I made eye contact with Elohim.

"For 70 days from now, you have to eat the candy I give you and dream."

"...is that all?"

"Yeah. It's just a dream, but it's going to put some strain on your body, and above all else, it's going to be hard mentally. But it's a necessary process."

Elohim, who was explaining with a firm expression, grabbed my shoulder lightly.

"I will ask you one last time, kid. Are you really determined?"

"If not, what would you do?"

"I will send you to Korea. Like Ha Tae-heon, by opening a new passage."

It was the most unsatisfying word I had ever had with him. I replied with an awkward smile.
