ORV: The Anomaly Among Stars. (Lee Jihye X OP Male Reader)

48: 'Prophets again...'

Dokja: "The 9th person to get off.. it is the first time I've heard of this attribute."

Sungkook: "Oh, you probably wouldn't have. This is the first time us Prophets have seen it."

This brat was giving an excuse. Dokja wanted to tease him a bit.

Dokja: "But it is strange. If you really received the revelation, why aren't you a 'revelator' instead of 'someone who got off'? What is with this name?"

Sungkook: "T-That... the revelation... no, the book of revelation..."

Lee Sungkook stuttered. It was delightful watching him try to avoid Lie Detection. Him and Y/N wondered how honest he could be. Lee Sungkook finally closed his eyes.

Sungkook: "When I read the book of revelation... I stopped!"

Dokja: "You stopped reading it? Why didn't you read it?"

Sungkook: "The contents of the Book of Revelations are very difficult, vast and profound..."

Y/N: "Then you were the 9th person to get off?"  

Sungkook: "Yes..."

 Dokja: "I don't think that will be of much help to us."

Sungkook: "N-No! I can definitely help you!"

The confused Lee Sungkook continued to speak gibberish while uneasily turning his smartphone off and on.

Dokja: "Why do you keep touching that smartphone?"

Sungkook: "I-I-I'm sorry. I am a smartphone addict..."

He was trying to get advice from the other ones who got off. But that didn't last long.

Dokja: "Are you going on the Internet?"

Sungkook:;"Y-Yes, that's right. It is the ability of the hermit..."

At Lee Sungkook's words, they looked towards Han Donghoon. The hypnotized boy was busy tearing at his fingernails with empty eyes.

The Hermit King of Shadows who had the powerful information manipulation ability. This boy couldn't be kept under the prophets.

If the Prophets became involved in the story in this way, the original novel was ruined and the plans Dokja (well Y/N didn't set anything up) set up would be wasted. They had to stop these guys before everything went wrong.

Dokja: "Do the other prophets also have the attribute of 'getting off'?"

Sungkook: "...Yes."

Sungkook: "How many are there in total?"

"That..." Lee Sungkook hesitated for a moment before opening his mouth. "As far as I know, there are 48 people."

48 people? It was smaller than Dokja thought.

Considering that chapter 1,200 had one hit and chapter 120 had 10 hits, he thought there would be at least 100 people.

Lee Sungkook's words resolved Dokja's curiosity.

Sungkook:;"I know there were more prophets originally but I expect most of them didn't pass the first scenario."

Dokja: "They are dead despite knowing the future?"

Sungkook: "That... we have received the revelation but we only recently realized that it was a 'true' revelation."

Now it made a little sense.

Perhaps at the start of the scenario, few readers thought that a novel that started serialization 10 years ago would become a reality. They might not remember it straight away.
