I Don't Want This Reincarnation [1]

149

A street market crowded with people.

Wearing the changing items, Ha Tae-heon and I headed to the centre of the market, being careful not to get lost in the crowd.

Unlike me, who only changed the colour of my hair and eyes, Ha Tae-heon, who became a child like yesterday, raised his small hand and pointed to the right.

"Over there."

Perhaps because of the shortened tongue, the pronunciation was almost like 'peck there'. I laughed inwardly and moved in the direction Ha Tae-heon had told me. (저쪼기다, it translated 'peck' meanwhile what Tae-heon said '저쪽이다' meant 'over there' with a bit similar pronunciation)

We wandered through the Chinese-speaking market for a long time because we didn't use interpreter items and finally found an alleyway with less people. I asked Ha Tae-heon, who was touching his ears, which had tingled thanks to the Chinese people with strong pronunciation and loud voice.

"Is this the right place?"

"Yeah."

"When you first came here, you said you followed a white cat, right?"

Before coming to China, I was told how Ha Tae-heon met the Prophet at his house. He said that as he followed the white cat that appeared in front of him, he found a narrow alley in the corner of the market.

"It was by no means an ordinary cat. I felt similar energy to the monsters I encountered inside the gate."

"Monster..."

The situation was the same as when Ha Tae-heon met the Prophet in the novel 'Abyss'. I slowly made my way down the alleyway, which was stinky and wet with dirty water.

"Just in case, it would be better not to remove the changing items and go ahead."

Ha Tae-heon nodded his small, round face. I looked down at him and raised my gaze forward.

'...he must have been drunk, right?'

What Ha Tae-heon did to me yesterday seemed like a mistake made by his drunkenness. Even in the original story, there was never a scene where Ha Tae-heon drank until he got drunk, though I didn't know he had such a habit of drinking.

Even though he was SS-rank, he couldn't rest properly for two days and he might have been drunk because he drank beer and wine in a row.

It was very embarrassing, but it seemed like he didn't even remember what he did because he was drunk anyway... Even for me, it would be better to bury this matter.

"Ha Tae-heon-ssi."

After wandering for a while through the alleyways that were tangled like a maze, I frowned at the dead-end road that appeared in front of me.

"This road is blocked, what should we do?"

"That's strange. It wasn't blocked last time."

I touched the wall in front of me with my hand, just in case. Strange energy was felt from the damp and cold wall.

"It doesn't seem like an ordinary wall."

"It looks like someone with space control ability touched it. Or they used an item."

"Umm."

I was at a loss. I couldn't come back now.

I sighed as I stared at the solid wall and heard the sound of stepping on a puddle of water behind me. I turned around and saw a white rabbit with a strangely glowing light in the dark alleyway, with its ears pricked up and standing on its two feet.
