Episode 120
“Then let’s start the morning roll call.”
Instead of waking the two people who were still sleeping on the floor, Isabella simply removed the sleep spell with a simple detox spell and then began the morning roll call.
Unlike the military, it was just a matter of checking personnel and seeing if anyone was sick, so it was over quickly, and after that, we went to have breakfast.
“Are you a river star? “I enjoyed what you did this morning.”
As I was walking with Glenda to the restaurant, people passing by said a word or two, perhaps because of what had happened this morning.
There were quite a few people I knew, as I remember hanging out with them in the past, but I didn’t pretend to know them.
“What’s your schedule today?”
“After a quick physical training, we go in to attack the 11th floor. “But since you’ve only been here for a day, there’s probably something different about you personally.”
It’s the same.
It’s natural to become stronger before conquering a floor, but that alone doesn’t mean you can clear the floor.
In this way, we calmly attack the upper floor like a veteran, show them how to respond to the story of the floor, and train them to learn it.
This training method certainly helped the rearguard move up to the front line.
“Are you a river star?”
I guess I was finishing my meal with that thought in mind when I suddenly heard a voice and raised my head to see a man in uniform standing there.
I guess they came to get me to do something else that Glenda mentioned.
I got up from my seat and walked behind the man, leaving Glenda waving at me to say goodbye.
‘Now that I think about it, I remember it was a woman who came to see me at that time.’
Even if it was only in my memory, things seemed to be going in a different direction than they did back then, as if what I was doing seemed to have some influence.
After walking along with the man for some time, I arrived in front of a reception room.
The living room was a place I remembered, and when I opened the familiar door and entered, Isabella was sitting there, as expected.
The woman who was working looked at me, took off her glasses and smiled, and I passed the man and calmly sat down on the sofa.
“Was breakfast delicious?”
“so so.”
“I’m glad. He was a famous chef in our chef district. “I had a hard time hiring him.”
After saying that, Isabella motioned to the man standing there as if to ask him to come out.
The man who bowed his head when he saw Isabella left, and she got up from the chair she had been working on and sat down on the sofa across from me.
“I was quite surprised in the morning. “I knew that our kids would play pranks when new people came, but this was the first time we got pulled over in the opposite direction.”
“That’s because only stupid kids who get caught come in.”
“okay? “I don’t think so.”
Isabella poured tea into a teacup with her long, white fingers and handed it to me.
Then he took off his uniform jacket, washed it finely, placed it on his lap, and smiled.
“They may look like they are, but they have been doing this for quite some time, so they are veterans in that regard. In my memory, Ha Cheon-seong must have been a weak person who was bullied by drug-selling thugs. Isn’t that strange? “We raised them to the point where they could easily take down thugs who sell drugs.”
Hearing those words, I picked up the handle of the teacup and lifted it up.
Looking at the scarlet tea water at the bottom of the teacup, I casually took a sip and then asked her.
“So you thought I was a spy planted by the lantern keepers who sell lanterns?”
I put down the teacup and smiled lightly as I said that.
“I’m going to poison it with a poison that can’t be deciphered by anyone else.”
The poison that Isabella had in the tea she just drank was an A-class intangible poison that she possessed that could not be seen with the naked eye and had no scent.
In addition, this intangible poison could be controlled according to Isabella’s will, so it was mainly used when she had information to obtain from the other party.
I knew it well because I had attended her class many times.
Isabella, who heard my story, was not embarrassed and just looked at me.
“Don’t you think I’ll be more suspicious if you say something like that?”
“No, you will doubt anything I say. “Have you ever fully trusted others in the first place?”
Isabella was silent for a moment at my mocking words.
Then, he cupped his chin with both hands, rolled his eyes, and smiled deeply.
“That’s strange. Even the rankers who were with me on the front lines don’t know this much about me, so why do you seem to know me so well? “As if it were someone I met a long time ago.”
“Because I have an S-class that can see through a person’s past.”
“I can’t help but lie.”
Damn woman.
“The emotions you feel when you look at me are, shall we say, a mixture of many things. From bad emotions like anger or coldness to longing, regret, etc… … “I’ve never met anyone on the Crown Road who showed so many emotions to me.”
I snorted at the words longing and regret.
Is it possible for me to feel that way about this woman?
“I think the only person who showed these emotions was my ex-boyfriend on Earth.”
I closed my mouth tightly at the next word.
Isabella watched my reaction for a moment, cupped her cheek, tilted her head, and asked me.
“Have we ever dated before?”
“shut up. “Do you think I’d date someone like you?”
“Looking at that reaction, I suspect something more.”
After saying that, Isabella got up and sat next to me.
Then she came close to me and started looking at my face, and then a strong lavender scent came from her body and tickled the tip of my nose.
She sat down next to me and tried to touch my cheek with her long index finger. I got annoyed and got up to avoid her hand.
“Don’t do anything stupid. The reason I came here was because I decided it was necessary. “It’s not like I teamed up with some shitty lantern keeper.”
“I understood that to a certain extent after seeing your attitude, He Cheon-seong. I apologize for the intangible poison. “It will naturally leave your body after tomorrow morning.”
Isabella smiled mischievously when she saw me avoiding her, got up, picked up her uniform jacket, and went to the chair in the office.
“I don’t know if it was an act, or if the world suddenly chose you to become a hero, but you are quite strong.”
“so?”
“Ha Cheon-seong, as you said, I have a lot of doubts. Having said this, I have a suspicion that you might be the trump card hidden by the lantern keepers. So, I want you to capture one of the lamp keepers.”

“Are you asking me such a favor after only seeing you for two days?”
“There are various ways to build trusting relationships, right? “You said that you decided that coming here was necessary, so I think this would be a reasonable deal for me to let you stay here.”
I wanted to punch that smiling face, but I sighed as if I was done.
Yes, I knew from the beginning that things would turn out this way because I was sick of this woman’s personality.
I know that too and I did it there too. In the end, there is no way to gain this woman’s trust other than this way.
Because she is a human disbeliever to her core.
‘A woman who distrusts and distrusts again, and never trusts anyone until the end.’
There was a faint spark of anger in my eyes, but I forced it to quell.
This is because I felt upset as the past flashed through my mind once again.
At the same time, I thought it was pointless to be angry at the dead woman anyway, so I suppressed my emotions and decided to accept her offer.
“When you catch the lamp keeper, don’t tell him we did it. “There are still many people on the 10.5th floor who do not trust us and are on the Lanternkeeper’s side.”
“It’s poisonous to have those who have dabbled in drugs get on the same side.”
“That might be the case in this episode. But in the next episode, they will return to the state without the lanterns. They say people don’t rewrite things, but I think differently. People change. Especially on this Crown Road.”
As the saying goes, people change on Crown Road.
Just as Isabella, who is here now, later betrayed me and sided with Yasin.
I still vividly remember the sight of the guy who was laughing until yesterday, thinking that he would soon be able to completely clear the Crown Road, then suddenly changed his mind and thrust his sword at my face.
Human mistrust.
It’s ironic, but Isabella’s distrust of humans may have led to me killing her.
“We also know where the lantern keepers usually move. How about giving it to me?”
“I do not need. “By providing those things, your intention is to make me act according to your wishes.”
She just smiled without answering what I said.
“Bye. “River Castle.”
I left Isabella, who greeted me instead, and came out, facing the man who had guided me earlier at the door.
While he was talking with Isabella inside, he changed from his uniform to his casual clothes, and I recognized his role as soon as I saw him.
“Are you in the surveillance role that Isabella entrusted you with?”
“Yes.”
The man answered my question straight away without any denial.
Since we don’t know what the process will be like if we kill the lantern keeper and bring him back, a surveillance role was added.
Seeing him like that, I decided to do that and took a step forward.
Since this is a floor that was originally created based on my past, I know where the lantern keepers are.
In the first place, the lantern keepers will eventually be wiped out by Isabella.
I also hit them with the training camp guys at the time, so I couldn’t forget it.
“Your name.”
“Ethan.”
I’ve seen him in passing a few times in the past, but this was my first time talking to him.
I mostly hung out with the guys from the training center, but I didn’t have a very close relationship with the people who worked in the police department.
“Okay, Ethan. “I’ll tell you in advance.”
I walked out the back door of the police station and pulled out the Byeolcheondo.
And then my sword swung was blocked in front of Ethan’s sword, and he looked at me in surprise.
“Why do you think Isabella put you next to me on my way to the lantern keeper?”
As soon as Ethan saw my smile, he frowned and immediately swung his sword at me.
However, I countered all of his swords without any hesitation, and Ethan soon seemed to have decided that it would be difficult to subdue me with force, so he activated his aura.
“Khaak?!”
“You need to come to your senses. “If a guy wearing a police uniform looks like this in broad daylight, people will notice him.”
But the moment he activated his aura, my fist landed right in his side.
As soon as he fell over, I sat down in front of him, who was spitting out what was in his stomach, and asked him while carrying the Byeolcheondo on my shoulder.
“Then, let’s have fun and talk about where the lantern keeper is. Mr. spy.”
Upon hearing my words, Ethan’s eyes shook violently.
Isabella knew from the beginning that Ethan was the Lanternkeeper’s spy, so she sent him next to me.
They probably thought that if I found out, they would automatically subdue Ethan and use him to find the lamp keeper.
If he hadn’t noticed, he would have treated me like I was nothing more than someone who got stabbed in the back by Ethan and the lantern keeper, and would have forgotten about me.
Anyway, she is a woman who feels bad in everything she does.
