I Login Alone-Chapter 77
Episode 77.
“Long time no see! What a pleasure!”
Jung Si-woo met a woman once he returned to Seoul after three days of cleaning up monsters throughout Korea, regardless of day and night.
“Your route was so hectic that I’ve been looking for you a while now! How have you been? I’ve been good!”
“You’ve got the wrong person.”
The woman was fluttering her dazzling white feather wings as she gently blocked the path of the bike. Thanks to that, the secret that Jung Si-woo had maintained until then was completely broken. Naturally, Jung Si-woo’s response was hard.
“You’re sad, aren’t you? We’ve broken through a fierce front together, remember?”
However, the woman smiled brightly with a thick face.
“What do you mean by fierce front?”
Jung Si-woo himself knew that it was useless, even though he pretended not to. This was because Marina Bissett, the woman he faced now, wasn’t bad. As expected, she continued, ignoring Jung Si-woo’s facial expression.
“That’s weird, I used to have a clue before, but I don’t know anymore…what have you been doing? Did you come out of the hyperbolic time room?”
Jung Si-woo decided to give up.
“You’ve become strong, too. Whoo…Marina?”
“Great!”
Marina Bissett nodded with a satisfied look. She was happy with the fact that he didn’t forget what she said the last time they met. Jung Si-woo looked at her twin-tails shaking lively, following her movements, and thought it was amazing how it fit her so well at that age.
“In that sense, I’d like you to give me your name.”
“Is this getting too long? Then, let’s move to another location.”
Marina Bissett was a woman who caught people’s eyes with her skills and beauty. Moreover, it was no exaggeration to say that Jung Si-woo was a man who Korea was focusing on now. A lot of attention would be paid to the two of them floating in the air over Seoul!
“It’s going to be a long story, but…you really don’t want to tell me your name? Do you really think I’m going to bother you? You’re correct!”
“That’s why I won’t tell you.”
“Hmph.”
Marina Bissett grumpily spread her wings again.
“Well, I’m glad you’re willing to listen to me anyway. Come with me, then. There’s a place I’ve got in mind.”
“Yes.”
Jung Si-woo drove his bike after her. The monsters that appeared in Korea were taken care of, so they were able to relax a little bit, but in fact, there was something that Jung Si-woo had to say to her about the thunder god.
‘Although it’s an object that I own, I still have to get something off of my chest.’
A while ago, Jung Si-woo had used the rifle acquired from Marina in the thunder god Laia’s temple. Furthermore, the god cried desperately for Marina’s name, who handed over the gift to its enemy when the descendant died. He didn’t know what happened between the two, but it was clear that it must have felt betrayed by her.
‘Good thing I found that place first. And at the right time.’
The fact that the thunder god had evil intentions were clear to Jung Si-woo, but Marina would feel quite uncomfortable knowing that she had been hostile to the thunder god without even knowing it. He thought he’d let Marina know before things got messy, so he was lucky to be reunited with her now.
“Is that really all you got? You don’t have any other thoughts, do you?”
Soo Ah-rin asked him impulsively. No matter how much she thought about it, she couldn’t stand the rush of jealousy and impatience as she watched Marina Bisset, who seemed to have a crush on Jung Si-woo (just from one battle!).
“Any other thoughts?”
Of course, Jung Si-woo didn’t know what was going on and just tilted his head. Soo Ah-rin spitted out her words without taking the time to think twice.
“The thought of doing something about Marina Bissett.”
“Why should I do something to someone who’s a good person and has a good personality? I’m not that combative.”
“Uh…yes, I suppose so.”
At a time when he interpreted “do something” as “kill,” she couldn’t refute. This was because Soo Ah-rin would be in great trouble if she answered back to him. And…
“Hehe. Hehe. Hehehe…”
“Why does she look so happy all of a sudden?”
“Seonbae…”
He realized day by day how foolish love makes people. Soo Ah-rin didn’t know how good she was at being a teacher, but perhaps keeping that unknown would be better for her in the future.
“Over here.”
Just then, Marina shouted at Jung Si-woo and descended. After she folded her wings and landed, he stopped his bike and looked around. It was a foreign company building located in central Seoul. B&Y Company, one of the most famous IT companies in Silicon Valley, at their location in Korea. Jung Si-woo noted that the building still looked fine even after the tectonic shift.
“Do you work here?”
“This is my brother’s company.”
“What?”
“It’s my brother’s. So you can use everything in this building without feeling any burden.”
Jung Si-woo couldn’t grasp the situation for a moment, but soon he got the hang of it.
“So the B&Y’s B stands for…?”
“Of course, it’s B for Bisset. Now, come on, we’ve got something more important to talk about.”
“…”
Jung Si-woo and his party were stunned to see Marina calmly opening the rooftop door and gesturing to him. She had natural beauty, she was a player who aimed for the best in the world, and even her family was well-off! Soo Ah-rin murmured, staring at her back.
“The world is so unfair.”
“I don’t think you have anything to say, and you also own two of those qualities.”
“…”
Jung Si-woo shot down Soo Ah-rin, who had been grinding her teeth. He put his bike into the inventory and quietly followed Marina. Coming down the bright hallway, Marina dragged him into an elevator on one side of the hallway and pressed several buttons. Then the elevator began to move in an incomprehensible direction, neither up nor down.
“What do you think?”
Looking back with a twinkling face, Jung Si-woo raised his thumb to Marina. She was pleased with his reaction. As expected, he was just a kid.
“So, first of all, the reason I was looking for you.”
Marina made a brief announcement while the elevator was moving.
“I’m here to ask you a favor. I want you to go to Arizona with me.”
“What’s there?”
“The sign of god.”
He couldn’t believe she brought it up first. Jung Si-woo was embarrassed, but Marina continued with a shrug.
“We’ve already talked about this topic once. Can we think of it as a joint front for the gods over there? But you’re different from the other crazy players, right?
“What joint front?”
Marina continued without listening.
“This is a little different from the last one. Monsters are popping up here and there as the earth is changing, and the situation has become very complicated as the terrain changes have overlapped with areas where large numbers of monsters occur. It’s like…”
Marina explained in a very unpleasant voice that they were absorbing the monsters on earth.
“Moreover, I can feel the extraordinary mana wave in the center. I’ve felt the energy of Laia, the thunder god, before, but it’s more than the thunder god, no matter how hard I think about it. It’ll probably be the worst battle.”
“Bigger than the thunder god, worst battle…”
Oh no, he was starting to like her words. It was evidence that Jung Si-woo was a pervert.
“A lot has happened in the U.S., but the Arizona case is very unusual. It’s one of the biggest cases. The good thing is that I was the first to identify and take charge of this situation. The unfortunate thing is that there is no one I can trust.”
The whole world was going crazy; that lack of manpower was the same everywhere.
“But I heard the news that South Korea is almost finished with clearing up. And I thought it didn’t make sense no matter how small the ground was.”
“Okay, okay, congrats that your country has more land.”
“That’s when a strong player I can trust appeared on the screen.”
Marina ignored Jung Si-woo’s response and finished her thought. Her eyes were still sparkling.
“At that moment, I was sure. The time has come for you and me to reunite again! That’s why I came right here and found you!”
“Isn’t that a mistake?”
Jung Si-woo rebuked it, but Marina’s expression remained relaxed.
“Don’t be too wary. It’s the whole planet’s problem, isn’t it? Besides, I don’t want to ask you for free. I’m going to pay a reasonable price because I’m in the position to do so.”
“With what?”
“Yeah, I mean, uh…”
Marina tried to continue confidently, but soon she shut up with a troubled look. He knew well that she earned a lot of money. Given that most things in the world were solved by money, so she had no idea what to offer him momentarily.
“Well…”
Marina was groaning while staring at Jung Si-woo’s helmet; right before shouting shouted with a bright look as if she had a good idea. She was convinced that Jung Si-woo would never refuse.
“One date opportunity with me!”
“You’re just interested in my Oppa!”
“Huh?”
“Ah.”
Ah-rin couldn’t resist the will and jealousy and shouted out loud. Naturally, her form was released, and her appearance was revealed. Yong Se-ha also appeared.
“Huh…Ah-rin?”
“You’ve got the wrong person.”
She tried to hide in Jung Si-woo’s arms in a hurry, but she couldn’t do anything now. Marina grabbed her with both hands and screamed.
“Ah-rin, it’s really you! So small! How cute! You were alive! Cute! Small!”
“Gee, let go of me!
“Oh, Seonbae…”
Marina cheered, and Soo Ah-rin sighed with surprise. No, no matter what the terms of the deal were, he was going to Arizona, and he couldn’t hide Soo Ah-rin and Yong Se-ha, so he was going to let her know at the right time…Jung Si-woo shrugged his shoulders vaguely. Soon there was a smirk on his lips.
“So cute.”
“You’re saying that to me, right? You also had a crush on me.”
“You would’ve been a great writer, not a player.”
The moment Jung Si-woo laughed at Marina, the elevator stopped, and the door opened. Beyond that, a gate with strong mana was in front of them.
