Chapter 81: Promise for the Future (1)Deep Sea Fish Hunting Specialty Broadcast
“Alright! That concludes today’s broadcast. In Korea, it’s… ah, 11 PM now. Have a good night. This has been Yu Parang.”
─Good night
─Bye bye
─Good night
With her now-familiar sign-off, Parang ended the broadcast.
Even she could tell that her broadcasts were becoming more skillful lately.
No matter what the subject, the feeling of moving forward was quite pleasant.
A faint smile spread across her face as she looked at the darkened screen.
Tap tap.
Diego, who was behind her, tapped Parang’s shoulder.
Parang quietly turned around and gave him a thumbs up.
“I’ll
In her mind, well over a hundred possibilities poured out, but they only left hundreds of questions before disappearing again. None of them became meaningful deductions.
No, except for just one.
‘Did it… help me?’
“Capulus? Me?”
…Why?
If you just look at the appearance, it’s perfectly like that, but, no, why?
More importantly, how?
As far as Parang knows, no deep-sea creature has the intelligence to figure out that Parang is looking for the Slayers’ corpses, find both the corpse and Parang, and then guide Parang to the corpse.
If there were a creature with that level of intelligence…
‘Ugh, my head hurts.’
Then the situation would become quite complicated.
The theory that ‘humans made it and are controlling it’ doesn’t make sense.
The only one who knows that Parang is looking for the Slayers’ corpses is Sailo, and Parang doesn’t think Silo would have made something like this.
‘Could it be the government?’
Unlike the Association, where information is transparent thanks to Seo Sunwoo’s tight grip, Parang doesn’t know anything about the World Government.
Come to think of it, she realized she hadn’t paid any attention to the World Government’s movements lately.
In fact, it was the World Government that really threatened Parang.
Well, it’s not really a big deal, as there’s been no news from the World Government lately.
They used to send assassination teams and such, but nowadays there’s none of that either.
Judging by their outward appearance, they seem to know nothing about the deep sea or monster fishs.
But… still, the idea that the World Government created Capulus to help Parang find the corpses…
‘That’s too much of a delusion, even for me.’
That’s going a bit too far.
The conclusion is, I don’t know!
‘The mysteries just keep piling up…’
Parang looked at the corpse in front of her with an expression that now seemed bored.
‘This is quite surprising.’
Charlotte’s corpse was surprisingly well-preserved.
Not only were there no visible wounds, but even her clothes were intact.
If she had seen this anywhere other than the deep sea floor, she would have mistaken it for someone just sleeping.
‘What if… what if she’s still alive…?’
Remembering past events, Parang approached cautiously, tiptoeing, but…
Thump thump.
It’s just a corpse.
Parang pondered for a moment whether this was fortunate or unfortunate, but concluded it was unfortunate since being alive is better than being dead.
As she was tending to the corpse and glancing at the face, she thought, “That Han Siwoo, he really was born with luck with women.”
The beauty emanating from her face, piercing through even glasses, that evil item that mars the beauty of all things in the world.
A slender figure and arms stretching out refreshingly. And at the end of those arms, beautiful, delicate hands clenched into fists…
‘Huh, fists?’
Finding it strange, Parang gently opened the clenched hand, and inside was a ring.
A beautiful ring with golden threads intricately flowing inside a transparent band.
This is a situation where even a passing monster fish would understand that an artifact has been found.
As Parang once again rummaged through the library in her head, wondering what on earth this could be, recalling her knowledge of the original work,
‘Ah.’
She knows what it is, but doesn’t really know what it is.
What that means is, she knows the name of this artifact, but doesn’t know what function it has.
Hunter Han Siwoo only created ‘rings’ once throughout the entire original work.
It was the day before his ascension.
Parang doesn’t know all the artifacts that appeared in that long novel.
However, there’s one sentence that Hunter Han Siwoo often said.
“Someday, when we overcome all these trials and reach the conclusion, that’s when we’ll make the rings.”
And as far as Parang knows, Hunter Han Siwoo kept this promise, and only on the eve of his ascension did he create rings and give them to all the female characters.
The name he gave to the rings was ‘Happy Ending’.
It’s a sad thing to think about what happened after that.
‘Come to think of it, I think the Slayers might have been wearing something like rings on their fingers.’
She can’t remember exactly. A transparent ring with flowing golden threads. It’s not something that would be visible during intense combat, is it?
Parang resolved to take a closer look this time.
The problem is that the function of this ring was never described in the story even once.
Parang is a case of reincarnation right after seeing the ending, so she didn’t get to see the speculations of the reader community.
It’s truly a regrettable situation.
Parang, who had been lost in her thoughts for a moment, rubbed her eyes.
After all, she too was a reader of the novel, wasn’t she?
Remembering the poignant ending makes her nose tingle.
‘Right. To ensure that all of that wasn’t in vain.’
She has to do what needs to be done.
She gathered Charlotte’s corpse and rose to the surface.
