「 Only Nam Joon and Lee Donghyun survived in that carriage. 」
What... I can read his mind? At this time someone's thoughts entered my head like a waterfall.
「 Now there are four people who survive.」
It seems he knows what will happen next but the future changes.
「 Nam Joon dies and is replaced by someone else. How did these three people survive? 」
「 Will he be more useful? 」
「 Why this guy never appeared before? 」
I never showed up... That's mean, throughout the past setbacks, he never saw me at all. So how can I survive in this timeline?
「 Is this guy also a regressor? 」
「 I need more information. If I find any disturbing elementals ... I have to kill him. 」
Looks like he's going to kill me. The time remaining until the scenario ended was 30 minutes. I need to hurry. I started telling the story. I tell the story using as many simple, short and accurate vocabulary as possible. From the first time 'Haechi' appeared until the end of the first scenario. Of course, I excluded the skills I got and any important issues.
"...You helped them and killed that man? And the explosion too?"
"Yeah."
Jin Minjun was really surprised. His eyes were wide open like he couldn't believe it.
「 ...The future has changed. No, it's rather that the future has completely changed. 」
「 But this doesn't make sense. Why is it changing now? 」
「 Is this because I started killing them with explosions, unlike in the previous timeline? 」
「 This man isn't a regressor. 」
「 He is not the one who changes the future. Instead, the future changes...」
「 Because of me. 」
Well, it's normal to be surprised. When he turned back time, this situation never happened. Even I would be surprised too, the regressor was in front of my eyes.
"Is your question over?"
"...Not yet."
"Everything fits too perfectly."
「 There is one thing I don't understand... 」
「 How can he avoid Nam Joon's attack? Is it due to skill? 」
[The character 'Jin Minjun' is suspicious of you.]
「 He has beyond being useful to being dangerous. 」
Suddenly, Jin Minjun's eyes began to shine bright with a golden color.
[The character 'Jin Minjun' has used the skill, Sage's Eyes Lv. 11 on you!]
W-What? Don't tell me that skill can see my information.
[Your character information will be seen by the character 'Jin Minjun'!]
As I thought!
[The conditions of use for the personal attribute '??? (?)' has been reached!]
[The personal skill, 'Endless wall' is activated!]
[ Endless wall has detected the use of the detection skill Sage's Eyes!]
Electric sparks shot through the air and Jin Minjun's body swayed.
「 ...What in the world? 」
Jin Minjun closed his right eye and looked at me with confusion.
"You... what is your identity?"
Don't ask me. I was wondering the same thing too.
[The personal skill Endless wall has blocked Sage's Eyes!]
Suddenly a screen appeared.
[Due to your skill, 'Endless Wall', you can no longer access your information.]
What? I quietly activated Character Information.
[Your character information cannot be opened.]
Huh? I once again tried to call out 'Character Information', but the result was the same. It was absurd. To think there was something like this? If I can't access my character information, I can no longer able to find out what my attribute and skill are. Thanks to my skill 'Endless wall', give me trouble.
Just Why don't this skill falsify my character information? That will be more easier. Is skill do that, I will definitely not be stuck in this situation. Jin Minjun looked at me with a killing intense.
「 I have to kill him here and now. 」
"Please wait, Jin Minjun-ssi"
As I thought, he didn't trust a person that he didn't know. Tsk, I've complicated things. There's no way he'd believe me now. Plan B!
"Jin Minjun. You need a really, really reliable companion."
"...What that's supposed to mean?"
I quietly activated my personal skill.
[Personal skill, Future Sight Lv. Max has been activated!]
I closed my eyes. Many memories seep into my brain. Suddenly I saw Jin Minjun in the memory.
「 What is he doing? 」
Ah! So this is Jin Minjun memories. I can see why he turned back the time. I looked at Jin Minjun and said, "You can't break your last scenario on your fourth regressor alone. You aware of it?"
Bam—! Jin Minjun moved my body towards the train window so hard. "How do you know that?"
"What matters now isn't who I am." I stared straight into Jin Minjun's eyes and said, "What's important is that I can be useful to you."
「 He's not a regressor. If he was, I would know him. 」
「 Don't tell me... Could he be...? 」
My mother always said, "If you're useless, you're like trash that gets thrown away and reused. That's why you need to study hard, Kwan." Then, I will be useful to this person!
"Minjun, I know the future that you don't know."
[The character, 'Jin Minjun' has activated the Lie Detection skill.]
[The Lie Detection skill has verified that you are telling the truth.]
Jin Minjun's eyes opened wide. "N-No way..."
「 That can't be... Could there be another prophet other than Luna Hansley and Tsukumo Seri? In South Korea? 」
Prophet. According to the memory I got from the skill, that attribute is the only that can allows a character to see the future, and has a passive 'Neutralize Detection skills.' There was two character who had the 'prophet' attribute in this world.
Jin Minjun stared at me. "By any chance, are you able to use 'Future Sight'?"
"Yes."
I am not a 'prophet' although I have the skill 'Future Sight'.
"That's mean you know I would be here."
"Yes."
Just a moment ago I know you.
「 This is proof that he is a prophet, all his actions are convincing. 」
"Minjun. I know you have a special power. You also know what's going to happen In the future, right?" Regressor know the future because they have repeated their lives several times over, but their futures will change if they charge the present with that Information. "But that knowledge is never perfect."
So all regressor will eventually reach a future they don't know unless they repeat everything they did in their past run. "Make me your companion and I can complete your knowledge of the future."
In the memory I got, Jin Minjun was companion with Tsukumo Seri. In fact, my own presence can play the role of 'prophet'. What are you going to do now, Jin Minjun? Will you let this opportunity slip away?
Jin Minjun lowered his head and began to think.
「 Should I? The more prophet, the better, but I'm a bit suspicious of him. In the past timeline, he never appeared. Why appear now? 」
[There are 30 minutes left to complete the scenario.]
「 If he knows about the last scenario in my fourth timeline, that means he knows the solution. Especially when fighting 'Nebuchadnezzar II'. Can I really trust him? 」
"You can think about what you will do next. There is still plenty of time." I said.
"Nope. It's a waste of time."
「 I have made a decision. 」
「 I will make him a companion. 」
Finally, Jin Minjun raised his head while I stared at a clock with an furious heart. "I made up my mind. I will make you my companion."
[The personal skill, Mind Reader has reached a time limit.]
[Personal skill, Mind Reader has been deactivated.]
[Please increase your mental strength to use Mind Reader skills longer.]
My personal skill has been deactivated. Now Jin Minjun's face was as difficult as a philosophy book with no written comments. I looked at them. Lee Donghyun looked at me guiltily. Because of me, he has to face it. He must have said that.
"Lee Donghyun."
Lee Donghyun looked at me.
"I'm sorry, hyung..."
I smiled and said, "it's okay Lee Donghyun, it's not your fault."
Lee Donghyun stared down. Han Ara is still asleep. An Aera looked at me worried. Jin Minjun looked at them then looked at me.
"One last question."
"If you're really prophet, you'd be able to tell your own future, right?"
At that time I saw Jin Minjun's calm eyes, it gave me goosebumps. His trial is not over yet. He slammed me into the train window until it almost broke. I have a bad feeling about this.
"Prophet, Should I throw you out or not?"
I saw his eyes. This is not a joke. For the first time, I feel this fear. Why wasn't I scared earlier? Is it because I know I can survive? Now, my answer will determine whether I live or not. I closed my eyes and thought about Jin Minjun.
Then, I came to a conclusion.
"Jin Minjun."
I know what he will do if I tell him this answer. No matter what I think, there is no other answer than this. I looked at the giant Monopterus Albus approaching in the water and said to Jin Minjun, "Let me tell you three things first."
"What?"
"First, I am not your puppet to control. So treat me as your equal."
"...Understood."
"Second, When I cooperate with you, you have to promise to cooperate with me."
"Okay."
"Finally, please protect my friends until I come back to you."
Jin Minjun looked at them and said, "All right. So, your answer?"
I replied with a smile, "Just throw me and get lost, you psychopath."
