Hyeon Jae-ha righted Yeon Yu-jin, who had lost consciousness and collapsed, and held him in his arms.

He had been watching Yeon Yu-jin under the guise of surveillance. That’s why he was able to rush over the moment Yeon Yu-jin lost consciousness.

‘I followed him because I suspected someone who looked like a government stooge was mixed in with the group.’

Who knew the accident would happen here instead of at the Dungeon Gate.

Hyeon Jae-ha examined Yeon Yu-jin’s condition with a dry expression.

‘He’s fine.’

It seemed that he had fainted because his vessel couldn’t handle the large amount of energy he had used in a short period of time.

‘That’s strange. For a D-Class Guide, he’s showing skills that only an A-Class or S-Class Guide should be able to do.’

Moreover, he showed the experience to quickly assess the situation and respond in seconds.

“Strange.”

Hyeon Jae-ha muttered weakly, unlike his usual self.

Even so, he didn’t stop holding Yeon Yu-jin carefully, so as not to make him uncomfortable.

Was it because it was his first contact with a Guide in a long time? Even though the other person was unconscious, he could feel a subtle, cool energy, and somewhere deep inside him, it tickled.

‘He doesn’t resemble Ga-hyeon at all… Why do I keep being bothered by this guy?’

The answer to the question he asked himself did not come easily.

“Ugh…”

A small groan escaped from the unconscious Yeon Yu-jin, and Hyeon Jae-ha flinched.

‘This won’t do. I need to get him to the hospital quickly.’

The citizens who were at the scene had seen Yeon Yu-jin and his Espers in action, so he thought they would take him to the hospital safely.

Bee-bo, bee-bo.

The noisy ambulance siren was heard.

Hyeon Jae-ha tried to put Yeon Yu-jin down on the ground, but he thought it wouldn’t be right to leave him like that, so he took off his coat and used it as a mat.

“Cough, cough.”

Even while unconscious, Yeon Yu-jin coughed up blood.

‘Why did he have to get involved in this?’

Hyeon Jae-ha blamed Yeon Yu-jin.

Because Yeon Yu-jin reminded him of someone he had lost a long time ago.

From the first time they met in the underground vault, he felt like he was going crazy because the illusion of An Ga-hyeon, which he had been barely erasing, kept coming back to him.

“Damn it.”

It was the same now.

Yeon Yu-jin, who was coughing up blood and collapsing, overlapped with his partner who had died protecting Hyeon Jae-ha 20 years ago.

Clicking his tongue, he was about to turn around when Lee Ha-ram blocked Hyeon Jae-ha’s path.

“…What is it?”

Hyeon Jae-ha was perfectly disguised to avoid standing out.

His hair was covered with a wig and hat, and his bright blue eyes were covered with sunglasses.

But the government agent seemed to have stubbornly figured out who Hyeon Jae-ha was.

“You’re… Hyeon Jae-ha, aren’t you?”

Tch. This is annoying.

Hyeon Jae-ha clicked his tongue, but pretended to be an ignorant civilian.

“Huh? Who’s that? I don’t know anyone like that.”

“Don’t deny it, it’s you. Just now, when Yeon Yu-jin fainted, the ability you unconsciously used was telekinesis.”

“……”

At Lee Ha-ram’s words, Hyeon Jae-ha was surprised and couldn’t react.

It was because he had no idea that he had used his ability until he heard her words.

Lee Ha-ram assumed that Hyeon Jae-ha was caught off guard by her words and became confident and snapped.

“Telekinesis is Hyeon Jae-ha’s unique ability. Don’t deny it anymore, Esper Hyeon Jae-ha. Or should I call you a deserter?”

Manager Kim Hyun-soo was bewildered by Lee Ha-ram’s increasingly hostile attitude and tried to stop her.

“Why, why are you doing this, Ha-ram. Why are you suddenly harassing a passerby?”

“I’m sorry, Kim Hyun-soo. This is my original mission. It was originally something else… but since I’ve found a runaway Esper, I’m changing my top priority to arresting him. Thank you for being so kind to me all this time.”

After saying that, Lee Ha-ram ran out without even hearing Kim Hyun-soo’s reply.

“The Bureau of Management ordered me to bring you back alive. Hyeon Jae-ha, come with me quietly!”

Hyeon Jae-ha watched Lee Ha-ram, who was rushing at him with a do-or-die attitude, with a bland expression.

“I don’t think I can do that.”

Hyeon Jae-ha, who hadn’t even taken a defensive stance, took off his sunglasses.

The citizens who had been watching them with great interest gasped in surprise.

“Blue eyes!”

“Evidence of Awakening… Was he an Esper?”

“Then is that manager also an Esper?”

“Isn’t he a Hunter? Why are they fighting each other?”

Murmur, murmur.

‘It’s getting noisy, as expected.’

There was nothing good about it getting any louder.

“His Corruption Level is at a precarious level… but this is the best way to solve it quickly and easily.”

As Hyeon Jae-ha muttered, Lee Ha-ram’s eyes widened.

“Don’t tell me…!”

“Exactly what you’re thinking.”

“No, don’t!”

Just before Lee Ha-ram pounced on him, Hyeon Jae-ha slowly blinked and flicked his fingers.

Click.

Then Hyeon Jae-ha’s eyes turned a deep purple.

The movements of all living things slowed down, and soon time stopped.

And countless keywords with hashtags floated above people’s heads.

‘It’s been a while since I’ve used it, but it’s working well.’

As useful as it was, it was followed by terrible pain.

What Hyeon Jae-ha used was his Second Awakening ability, Memory Erasure.

An incredible ability that allows him to selectively erase specific memories from people within a set range.

Thanks to this power, Hyeon Jae-ha had been able to escape the government’s pursuit for as long as 20 years.

“Let’s see.”

Since it was the park where the Dungeon Break had just occurred, there were many keywords related to the Dungeon in people’s memories.

Hundreds of keywords brushed past Hyeon Jae-ha’s purple eyes.

#Dungeon_Break #Where_is_Jin_Eu-tteum #Monster #Fear_of_Death #Unexpected_Secrety #Shocking_Kiss_Scene_Witnessed #What_is_Yeon_Yu-jin #Who_is_that_man Hyeon Jae-ha frowned at the part that contained ‘kiss’ as he read the keywords one by one.

“…He said he was an idol, so I guess I can erase this.”

He was definitely not erasing it out of personal feelings. Yeon Yu-jin said that he was the one who would carry on An Ga-hyeon’s legacy… that was all.

#Shocking_Kiss_Scene_Witnessed

It was erased from these people’s memories. He also deleted the kiss scene that was taken on the onlookers’ cell phones and cameras at once.

Now that the Guiding scene had disappeared from their minds, people would not be able to criticize Yeon Yu-jin and his members in the future.

However, he left Yeon Yu-jin’s members alone since they were his Espers anyway.

‘I don’t like this either.’

Next, he deleted all the keywords related to Lee Ha-ram and Hyeon Jae-ha himself. In particular, he erased everything that could be a threat to him from Lee Ha-ram’s mind.

Of course, since he only erased human memories and the evidence attached to them, the whole story would be revealed if the government started a full-scale investigation.

Anyway, he was buying time, so he was able to escape the immediate crisis.

‘If I erase too many memories, I’ll get confused as well…’

He had no sympathy for a government stooge.

Hyeon Jae-ha put his sunglasses back on and turned around, and time flowed as usual.

“…Huh? What was I doing?”

Lee Ha-ram tilted her head, having lost her memory. She felt like she was doing something important, but she couldn’t remember at all.

Manager Kim Hyun-soo passed by her side, shedding tears like raindrops.

“Oh, no! Yu-jin! What’s going on!”

‘Oh, right. Yeon Yu-jin fainted.’

She seemed to be on her way to support the collapsed Yeon Yu-jin. Lee Ha-ram came to that conclusion and stayed by Yeon Yu-jin’s side with Kim Hyun-soo.

Fortunately, the ambulance arrived in time, and the citizens surrounded the Secrety members and carried them away on stretchers.

“We’re transporting them to a hospital for Ability Users only!”

As the paramedics moved the Secrety members, people moved out of the way.

They knew that Secrety had stopped the sudden Dungeon Break and saved the citizens.

Even though the ambulance was far away, people watched until the car disappeared into a dot, whispering to each other.

“I wonder if the person who collapsed is okay?”

“Secrety… was it?”

“Oh, yeah, that idol group with the Esper Guide.”

“I saw them again this time. Wow… especially Yeon Yu-jin. The way he threw the other Esper members in front of the monsters… ugh.”

“Everyone thought they were just Ability Users in name only… I was impressed when I saw them fighting earlier. They fought well? I thought they were Hunters!”

“I even took pictures. I should search for Secrety later.”

“You too?”

“Yeah. Me too.”

Those who claimed to be Jin Eu-tteum’s fan club secretly shared photos of Secrety’s performance.

It wasn’t just ordinary citizens.

“This article could cause a new sensation?”

A reporter specializing in entertainment articles who only covered famous Hunters started taking pictures like crazy as soon as the battle started.

It wasn’t that she didn’t feel a sense of crisis that she might die, but seeing the dazzling performance of the young men, she followed her snobbish instinct that she had to capture this.

‘Maybe they’ll beat out other famous Hunters and quickly get back on their feet and spread their wings.’

The other reporters who witnessed the situation were the same.

The reporters who had been carrying their cameras and trying to report the scoop first rushed out, and after the injured were taken to the hospital, someone asked.

“Huh? But when is Hunter Jin Eu-tteum coming out of the Gate?”
