Chapter 63: Audi on its way to space
-Good. Grade 2 quest.
The shareholders of Dogo seemed satisfied with Yeongwoo’s acceptance of the contract.
Then, they drew a string of characters in a form that Yeongwoo had never seen before, illuminating their bodies in the air.
Swaat!
These characters, arranged like scattered wedges, were the signature of the intergalactic weapon brand ‘Dogo.’
‘Ah.’
In other words, the shareholders of Dogo had signed the contract.
Pang!
Following that, Dogo’s signature soared into the sky, and a new system message appeared in Yeongwoo’s view.
「Contract: Dogo-49523-IIII_II-Tier 2 has been concluded.」
An advertising contract between a planetary resident and a cosmic-scale corporation, executed in just two days after the reset.
“...”
As Yeongwoo made a shocked expression, the shareholders of Dogo, wrapped in a pillar of light, began to weaken.
Finally, they seemed to be leaving this place.
Of course, one more procedure remained as announced earlier.
-Return the favor, waiting for you.
Dogo requested a souvenir in their unique ‘alien-like’ tone, and Yeongwoo only now worried about Jongsoo’s safety.
Even here, it seemed like not a single police officer could breathe properly.
Swoosh.
As Yeongwoo looked at the white Audi parked on the other side, Byungcheol, who was pointing the barrel towards the sky, widened his eyes.
“What’s this now?”
“Before sending the advertiser back, you have to give them a gift.”
“A... gift?”
Byungcheol made another puzzled expression.
But anyway, it was a relief that they would be leaving soon.
“Then let’s quickly give it and send them off. Hurry up.”
While Byungcheol said this, Detective Kwon Taeyoung’s labored breathing was coming up from the ground.
In response, Yeongwoo nodded and raised his hand.
“Jongsu!”
As if waiting, the white Audi started rolling.
Vroom...
Approaching under the red sky, a 4-seater convertible glided smoothly on the Icheon City road.
“...”Folll0w current novÊls on n/o/v/3l/b((in).(co/m)
As Yeongwoo and Byungcheol stared blankly at the strange scene of a foreign car sliding under the red sky, Jongsu’s head popped out from the Audi that had just stopped in front of the two.
“It seems to have been resolved through conversation? I was curious about what was happening.”
Jongsu’s gaze, saying this, was focused on the gun that Byungcheol was holding.
On the other hand, Byungcheol was bewildered by Jongsu’s completely unshaken appearance in front of the gun.
“...Who are you?”
Byungcheol asked Yeongwoo while keeping the gun at the ambiguous point between the sky and the ground.
“He’s my partner.”
Yeongwoo gave a brief reply while looking at Jongsu.
Unlike the young detective wandering around on the ground, Jongsu was in a state where not even a single breath was disturbed.
‘Is it simply because he’s bold? Or perhaps...’
Was it because of the original fate that was supposed to die today?
Even though the original fate was reset, Jongsu himself had often talked about the nuance that he was living as an extra.
Therefore, he might be more immune to various fears compared to others who are strongly attached to life.
“Now is the time to present this?”
Finally, Jongsu stroked the steering wheel, and his eyes sparkled.
“Yes. I don’t know how to convey it... If we park in front there, won’t they just take it themselves?”
As Yeongwoo pointed to the apartment parking lot in front of the advertiser, Jongsu’s head lifted into the air.
It was time to observe the appearance of the advertiser who would soon receive the souvenir.
“...”
With a gulp, Jongsu’s Adam’s apple moved noticeably.
Even if he didn’t know, facing such a giant creature must have been frightening.
Of course, Yeongwoo had no intention of sending Jongsu alone.
“Don’t worry, I’ll go with you.”
As Yeongwoo opened the passenger seat door and sat on the seat, Jongsu smiled with a relaxed face.
“Indeed, you are loyal, sir.”
“Rather than loyalty... it’s my deal.”
* * *
“Hurry!”
As Yeongwoo urged with a scream, Jongsu, who was staring blankly at the advertiser enveloped in a glow, hurriedly jumped out of the car.
And then.
-Kit!
The golden goblin hiding in the back seat leaped agilely, and almost at the same moment, a laser beam descended from the sky, striking the Audi.
Swoosh...
Paaaang!
“Gasp!”
“Ahh!”
The pitch-black surroundings suddenly became as bright as daylight, to the extent that the dark sky appeared in broad daylight.
Those guys indeed possessed tremendous physical force.
“C-Crazy.”
It was like the spectacle on the first day of the reset when ‘lives’ were flying, amplified thousands of times.
Unconsciously, Yeongwoo took a step back.
―Jeong Yeongwoo 07!
Voices of shareholders echoed in the bright white view.
Just as Yeongwoo was about to respond.
Shooo!
The excessively bright view returned to its original state in an instant, and everything disappeared.
The Dogo shareholders, the crimson light pillar, the enormous laser beam, and the Audi, all gone.
“Ugh.”
As he exhaled the breath he had been holding, Yeongwoo noticed Jongsu sitting on the ground, rubbing his buttocks.
“A-Are you okay?”
“Yes? Ah... yes, I’m fine.”
Jongsu blinked his eyes, looking at the clear night sky as if it had become clear just now.
“Gone... right? They’re gone?”
Jongsu’s eyes seemed to plead, wishing it to be true.
Yeongwoo looked at his partner, then shifted his gaze to where the advertisers were.
There, something faintly remained in the place where the crimson light pillar had been just a moment ago.
“...?”
At first, he thought it was an afterimage due to the intense light he had seen, but...
“What is that?”
Seeing Jongsu discover the same thing, it seemed not to be an illusion.
Clearly, something remained.
“Be, be careful... Hyung-nim.”
Gradually, as Yeongwoo approached the mysterious entity, Jongsu also stepped to the side, drawing his sword, preparing for any unforeseen circumstances.
On the other hand, Yeongwoo was thinking.
‘What on earth is this?’
Completely captivated by curiosity, he continued to approach the unidentified entity.
With each step he took, the outline and color of the target became clearer.
This felt similar to the first day of the reset when he could recognize the currency exchange assigned to him.
‘Dogo’ must have left something for their advertising model.
In other words.
‘This might be a return gift for the souvenir.’
Finally, when Yeongwoo took a step right in front of the entity, the problematic object turned dark.
Srrruuuk!
And as the color rose, the size of the revealed object was much larger than expected.
Since the height of the object had already exceeded Yeongwoo’s stature.
“...!”
Even Yeongwoo, who belonged to the bold group among humans, was momentarily stunned by the overwhelming sense of unease emanating from the situation.
Shortly after, even Byungcheol, who was observing the scene from afar with a gun in hand, rushed over.
“What on earth is happening now?”
Because.
Shwaaat!
The shape of the object, which emitted a fierce steam as if it had completed its mutation, was undeniably an egg.
Despite the shiny surface, it was a gigantic pitch-black egg that gave an inexplicable chill.
“Hyung-nim...”
Jongsu alternately looked at Yeongwoo and the egg with an expression of astonishment, and Byungcheol, with a shaky gun barrel, couldn’t figure out where to aim.
And in the midst of this chaos.
Squeak!
The souvenir left by the extraterrestrial munitions company began to crack open.
