Seoul Object Story

Chapter 167: The Cloud Fish: Epilogue (4)



To think I wouldn’t be able to fly in the sky…

Mini-reaper wouldn’t lie to me, so there’s a high chance that it was the truth. In fact, I didn’t really want to fly, but after hearing that I wouldn’t be able to fly forever, I became really, really wanted to fly.

It’s not that I was weird. After all, if there’s something that prevented anyone from doing something, they would naturally want to break it.

While sadness and anger was filling me, I ate the white Hungry Ghost.

Kyuu-!

The white devil cried as if it sympathized with my sadness.

By the way, the number of my children has really grown.

Gold, Blue, Navy, Black, Red, Orange, and even a giant adopted child that was bigger than me!

The relationship between the giant adopted girl and the black agent was especially exciting. She had disappeared somewhere now, but I wish she’d come back soon and show me an interesting drama.

While I was thinking about this and that, I suddenly lay down on the bed. Because of tha , the Golden Reapers under me started to wiggle to slip out from under me.

Hihihi!

While I was looking at the Golden Reapers who were making small fists and punching at me,  I saw something on the news that interested me.

[ Since the appearance of the Object, cults have been rampant all over the world. ]

[ However, it has gotten worse recently. ]

[ There is a cult that has spread all over the world in just a few days, so you need to be careful. ]

[ It is a cult that has a symbol of five eyes. If you find one, please report it to the Object Association. ]

A cult?

Since the appearance of the Object, many cults had indeed appeared and disappeared, but this one didn’t seem ordinary.

While lying and blankly staring at the ceiling while listening to the TV, the Black Reapers looked down at me with worried expressions.

The Black Reapers seemed to feel sorry for me. They seemed at a loss about what to do since I looked sad because of what they said.

Suddenly, an interesting thought occurred to me.

What would happen if I expressed my sadness and anger and said, ‘It’s because of you!’?

They would definitely turn into slime and cry, right?

It would definitely be fun…

But since a Black Reaper had suffered a lot the last time I played a prank on it, I guess I should let them off the hook this time.

As expected, I was such a good mother!

While I kept lying down and staring at the ceiling, doing nothing, the Golden Reapers and Black Reapers gathered together and started to chat about something before leaving the containment room.

And some time later…

I was forcefully brought to my senses from dozing off when I felt something was gently pressing my cheek.

When I opened my eyes, I saw a lot of Black Reapers and Golden Reapers on my face. They then grabbed my little finger and led me somewhere.

The place I arrived at while following them was the courtyard of Sehee Research Institute, where a large shadow was cast. I looked up at the sky after seeing the shadow and saw a large Cloud Whale floating above Sehee Research Institute

The mini reapers jumped up and down, trying to get on top of the whale.

When I used the Black Penguin’s teleportation ability to get on top of the whale, there were already a lot of mini reapers gathered on top of it.

The mini reapers who were gathered on top of the Cloud Whale made of cotton candy greeted me with bright expressions.

Before long, the whale began to rise into the sky at a fast speed.

Mom!

It’s okay if Mom can’t fly!

You just need to ride the whale!

The mini reapers swarmed around me, surrounded me, and started to shower me with consolation.

Did I look that down?

I hugged the wonderful mini reapers and patted them.

Before we knew it, the Cloud Whale had risen into the sky, unfolding a sea of clouds before our eyes.

Countless Cloud Fishes followed us and swam through the sea of clouds. In every small Cloud Fish, a mini reaper could be seen, waving their hand with a bright expression.

It was an event that was so mini-reaper-like.

I stood on top of the cloud whale and looked down at the scenery.

With the fascinating white clouds as the sea, and the Cloud Fishes were gliding gracefully through the fluffy waves.

The scenery that I received as a gift from the children was quite nice.

*********Outside the window, an exotic landscape which was different from Korea was sinking into the darkness. The refreshing and dry air unique to the Rocky Mountains and the faint scent of pine trees and soil slowly blew in through the open window.

Through the same opened window, the faint sound of a siren could be heard. The sound of the siren, which was getting closer and then gradually moving away, cut through the dark streets and alleys.

It was the sound of an association vehicle, armed with tireless passion, driving through the town.

In the window, a woman’s silhouette was reflected, overlooking the alley. She was looking down at the town’s scenery while lost in thought. Her expression was a little irritated by the siren sound that periodically rang out.

“Hmm, the association vehicle is still driving around.”

The red-haired woman who was looking through the window grumbled as she watched the association vehicle passing through the alley.

Creak-!

Since the sound of the siren annoyed her, she rolled down the window and closed it. The window, which had closed completely with a thud, effectively blocked out the loud noise that had been invading the room up until a moment ago.

When she completely blocked the outside scenery by drawing the curtains, she completely erased her irritated expression and turned her gaze toward the table.

On top of the table, a Golden Reaper was lying down with its hand on top of its bloated belly.

The red-haired woman smiled with satisfaction, gently patting its protruding belly.

“Are you full?”

The Golden Reaper did not understand her question, but still smiled bashfully with a happy expression.

Scattered around it were the remains of fast food such as pizza and hamburgers, all of which the Golden Reaper seemed to have eaten.

Then, the woman held french fries in her hand and held them out to the Golden Reaper’s mouth.

Om nom nom-!

The Golden Reaper chewed the french fries in small bites.

As she looked at the Golden Reaper, the woman felt happy for some reason. Even though she was on diet and couldn’t eat, she fed the Golden Reaper the foods she wanted to eat. Strangely, just watching the Golden Reaper eat made her feel happy and full.

“Eat a lot.”

While smiling and putting the milkshake in the Golden Reaper’s mouth, an ominous sound that destroyed the happiness was heard.

Knock-! Knock-!

“This is the Object Association. Please open the door, Miss Rachel.”

Did they come to catch the Golden Reaper?

She looked at the front door in surprise and tried to evacuate the plump Golden Reaper, but the Golden Reaper had already disappeared.

Thinking that it had escaped successfully, she went to the front door and opened it.

Creak-!

Through the door that opened with a creaking sound, she saw an employee of the Association who looked very tired.

“Sorry for visiting so late, Miss Rachel.”

“No. It’s okay. What’s going on?”

Then, the association staff handed over a piece of paper.

It was a piece of paper with a large eye with five pupils drawn on it.

*********Trinity Sinkhole in Gangnam-gu.

A high wall was built around the sinkhole that had recently happened.

It wasn’t a newly built wall, but the original wall of the Trinity First Research Institute.

It was a sinkhole that swallowed up everything inside, leaving only the wall as if it was measured with a ruler.

“This place is a place that feels artificial.”

The director of Trinity Second Research Institute said, touching the white-painted wall, confused.

It must have been done by the ‘Gray Reaper.’ After all,there couldn’t be any other Object that could do something like this.

The association’s investigation reported that the Gray Reaper had been in its containment room at the Sehee Research Institute, but the director of the Second Research Institute didn’t believe it. Even if the report was true, he thought it would be easy for the Gray Reaper to deceive the Sehee Research Institute.

By the way, the cursed liquid was something that could not be used properly, but it was strangely wanted by those in powers as well as the research institute of this country.

Even now, the director of Trinity Second Research I was constantly receiving requests for information on the ‘evolution liquid’.

Trying to use a substance that had not been properly researched?

It was so stupid to the extent that it seemed like they were suffering from mind corruption.

It was as stupid as someone sticking an alien parasite directly into their stomach with only fragmentary evidence that it was good for the body in a movie. Even when there was a case where the parasite tore open the stomach, they still put it in their own stomach.

Still, there were some points that he could understand.

After all, those who knew the information hidden from the public should be afraid because the end of humanity was approaching. In particular, the end of Korea was near.

Except for a few major cities like Seoul and Busan, the governments had lost control of the country a long time ago. Nowadays, there were more lands for Objects than for humans.

So, in order to resolve it as quickly as possible, they blindly grabbed a way to remove the Objects.

Still, it shouldn’t be the ‘evolution liquid’.

The Director of the Trinity Second Research Institute director took out a note from his pocket. It was a copy of the third research institute director’s note.

He lifted up the note with the method of making the evolution liquid and various data written on it, and lit it with a lighter.

“It would be better to pretend that this note never existed.”

The Trinity Second Research Institute’s director threw the burning note to the ground and walked away, got into his car, and drove away.

The note left on the ground continued to burn continuously, turning into ash and scattering into the air.

*********Knock-! Knock-!

The Black Agent politely knocked on the wooden door with a luxurious pattern. In the meantime, the blonde girl opened the window in the hall and smiled contentedly as she welcomed the sunlight.

“This is strange. There’s no one in the detective office.”

The Black Agent, holding a cell phone in one hand, looked at the blonde girl with a puzzled expression and said so.

At the very least, the employee called ‘Junior Number 3’ should have been there, but the office was silent and devoid of any sign of life.

“Their cell phone is also off, so I think something is wrong. What should we do, Young Miss?”

“Well, we can’t help it. Let’s just come back later, Ahjussi.”

The blonde girl had come to thank the detective for letting her walk under the sun, but the detective seemed to be gone.

As she went back down using the stairs she had used to come up, she said,

“The detective Ahjussi is not in trouble, right?”

“I think he’ll be fine. He has a very good sense.”

The Black Agent and the blonde girl chatted for a while as they walked back to the Sehee Research Institute.

As they left, the detective agency fell into an ominous silence once again.
