How Did I Become a Great Prophet chapter 29
29 – Countdown
It’s been some time since we moved into a fabulously nice house.
It wasn’t easy to adapt to the house because it was so large that it would take a long time to visit the house or just walk around the garden, but now I’ve managed to adapt and live well.
Anyway, living in such a luxurious house made me feel pretty good.
There is even a mountain next to it and a river nearby… Is this something Baesan Imsoon is doing? Well, strictly speaking, it’s different.
Ah, and even after I moved, there were no customers who came to see me for fortune telling. There was no increase whatsoever.
I don’t know how long this situation will continue… But first of all, it’s something that only those in the know know about me.
And the guests also showed goodwill rather than discomfort at the fact that I had moved.
Did you ever think you’d be doing it in a house like this one day? There were also customers who said that their trust seemed to have increased after fortune-telling in a house like this.
It is located on the outskirts, a bit far from the city center, but there are cars, so there was nothing particularly inconvenient. There were a lot of things to do here in the first place, and it was quite comfortable, probably because Wi Ji-young took care of the selection.
…Hmm, but being too comfortable is also a problem. I don’t like to go out… I used to be unemployed, but I still have to go out to some extent… I’m sure it’ll work out somehow?
Anyway, now that I’ve become a wild fortuneteller in the guise of a professional, I have a customer today.
Well, it’s a familiar face, so I’m familiar with it now, but anyway, today’s customer is cleaning right away.
He is a customer who regularly goes to fortune telling, and a very precious regular customer who gives a huge amount of fortune every time he sees a fortune like an S rank is today’s customer.
Ki-ing…
Oh, it looks like you’re coming soon.
One of the features of our Yeopo, who is very reassuring like a monster, is weak and weak, not befitting the name, so if a visitor is A- or higher, she will whimper like that.
No, should I be proud that a C-class monster is not scared when meeting a B-class?
“Hello teacher. It’s been a while. Yeo-po, unlike his name, he’s cute every time I see him.”
“There aren’t many other than Soha who say he’s cute after seeing him. Anyway, nice to meet you.”
As long as it’s still quite burdensome because of the value of the name or the strength, etc., I clean it up, but it seemed like we got a little closer after meeting each other.
…It doesn’t seem to mean much, but…
Anyway!
“Well, what did you come to see today?”
I led her to her divination room.
There are so many rooms that I was able to make a room exclusively for this store, but that doesn’t mean it’s a very special place.
It’s because it’s just a wooden table with cards and beads to use for fortune telling nearby. You can see that it still has a strong feeling of being temporary.
I have the idea of making a dedicated room to be used only for divination later, but it is still only a thought.
Oh, and just as Akame heard that there was a fortune teller today, Akame came to the room at the right time, waved her hand, followed us into the room, and settled down quietly.
“Hmm… I don’t have any specific business, but could you take a peek at my future? I wonder if there will be good things or bad things.”
“It’s the future…I understand.”
I took out a card after listening to Chung Cheong-ha and shuffled the cards.
It’s not very cool and admirable yet, but after practicing shuffling the cards, I’ve reached a level where I can shuffle without clumsiness, so it doesn’t look as crappy as before.
Anyway, after shuffling neatly, the cards were spread out gently on the floor.
“Hmm, the cards aren’t set aside today.”
“…Ahahahaha, I just need to draw one today.”
…But maybe it’s because he said he did it on purpose in the early days, but there are times when I feel a little bit of a sense of crisis when I listen to the reaction.
. Let’s leave that as a dark history that only I know. After all, it’s still a long way from shuffling the cards.
“Hmm… I’ll do this.”
When a sense of crisis passed through my mind, the cleaner, who had chosen a card after thinking for a while, pulled out a card and handed it to me.
“Where…”
And I grabbed the card and turned it over.
The guy who appeared like that is the trap card ‘One Shot, One Kill’.
That means…
“…Well, that’s not a good thing. There’s a crisis in Soha’s future.”
“…Crisis, do you mean it?”
The card that came out this time wasn’t very good.
That means, the cleaning ha will be attacked. That’s a level of attack that could be life-threatening.
“The meaning of the card this time is that Mr. Soha is attacked and his life is in danger. The assailant who will attack Mr. Soha seems to be quite strong. It appears that it will be penetrated.”
“If it’s a bullet…A sniper? If it’s a sniper capable of killing me…More than that, when will that threat come?”
“Hmm, the time the threat looms…5…”
“5? You mean 5 days left? Or 5 hours?”
I shook my head at Cleanha’s somewhat urgent words and continued.
“…4…3…2…”
I came to my senses the moment I told the time in such an ordinary way and shouted in amazement.
“Ah, Akame!!!”
What the hell?! Isn’t this the time to count down and count down normally!?
And fortunately, Akame, who was listening quietly nearby and got up after hearing my words, moved with great reaction speed.
Kaang!! Damn!!
As a result, Akame reacted to the flying bullet and cut it, and Cleansingha blocked the surprise attack by freezing it as it is.
“Light but very fast and hard translucent magic bullets… I guess I was right.”
“It was sudden, but the reaction was almost delayed. I’ve heard the rumors… But as expected, you’re amazing.”
“Thanks to you, I’ve been able to live… Right now, I think the priority is to catch the sniper. This grace will surely be rewarded.”
Clang!
The mana must have reacted to the cold rage of Cheong Cheongha, so he broke the window of the room just as he was cleaning the house, and went outside and started charging at the sniper.
‘My window…!’
It’s a pity, but it’s no time to worry about that right now…
“Akame! Help Soha!!”
“Okay!”
Hearing my words, Akame drew her sword and, not enough to completely smash her window, sliced through the wall and charged at the unidentified sniper.
“No, but if you cut the wall…”
I muttered something absurd for a moment, but since I was left alone in the room with no one listening, the words echoed emptyly.
******************
I wasn’t in a good mood right now as I was chasing down a sniper while sweeping away overflowing mana over a wide area.
Of course, I wonder if anyone feels good after being shot… One of the big reasons was that the good time was interrupted.
‘Anyway, a sniper…Why are you targeting me?’
I had no connection with that Hitman, an S-rank sniper, also known as the ‘shooter of magic bullets’. If so, it sounds like someone made a request… A request to get an S rank, who made such a dangerous request?
‘I don’t think there’s anyone I can think of right now… I’ll have to catch him and then ask him.’
After finishing his wandering thoughts, Jeong Jeong-ha sprinted faster.
Taang!!
Her second bullet flew at her, but
Jjoook!! Kagagak!!
Because she wasn’t going to be beaten twice, her brushing stopped at her line, and she couldn’t even scratch her ice for a moment.
Also, the sniper moved as if he was trying to move quickly because even the blocking of the approach failed.
“I don’t think I’m running away… Are you still trying to catch me?”
I don’t know why they go this far, but… That would be the worst choice for a sniper.
Because I wasn’t the only one chasing the sniper right now.
That extreme! Seo Geo-eok!!!
The fire sword, Sarameya Akame, who was running from behind, also swung the sword as if it had grasped the sniper’s location, and showed a miracle by splitting only the building where the sniper was located.
It was quite a distance, but they were S rank, and this distance was not a hindrance.
At this, the sniper turned his gun to shoot down Akame, who ran faster.
Chankaang!!!
“What?!”
But there’s no way the cleaner can stay still.
Once she caught the sniper, she froze the entire area around him and interrupted the sniper.
“This, Run…!!”
Kaang!!
I was a sniper who blocked the blow, but I soon started to be pushed back by Akame’s sword.
Bang! Valid!!
Desperately or not, she kept shooting at her, but did it make any sense?
Now even the cleaning has arrived.
“If the sniper failed to shoot, he should have run away.”
“Kuh, if you think it will be over once you get close, you’re mistaken…! Do you think a sniper would be weak in close combat?!”
“If so, would they be stronger than us? A bluff for a sniper!”
He is not a person who cannot judge a crisis like this. It looks like there are still weapons left…
“It doesn’t matter.”
She felt the bullets she had fired pointlessly earlier come back. It would have been a difficult guided missile to deal with, but…
Damn it…!!!
She responded by freezing the entire space she was cleaning, and Akame, who didn’t take any damage using her magic eye of acceleration, cut the bullet she was flying into and even cut the wrist of the panicking sniper.
“Kuh…!!”
It was only then that he realized that the situation was worse than he had imagined and that the people he was dealing with were stronger than expected.
“Where!”
Kwagagagak!!!
The four stabs, which could not even react properly, pierced the sniper’s guard and pierced the limbs, and in the gap, the cleaning agent, who created a spear with cold air, pierced the sniper’s abdomen.
Puquahak!!
“It’s so…!!”
Immediately after that, the cold air exploded from the pierced window and shook the inside, causing the sniper to collapse while spitting up blood. After opening the wound one more time, I picked up the sniper.
“Eomsal-eun. Don’t you know that we are not the ones who die so easily?”
“Let’s do the interrogation somewhere else? You don’t like doing it here, do you? A dark place is more lively!”
“Keep, ugh…”
After completely subduing the sniper, they took the sniper who couldn’t faint and went back to Dam Han-ul’s house.
