The moment the second tranquilizer dart also had no effect,
Ritsuki began doubting reality itself.
『Ritsuki』: This… this is impossible.
『Ritsuki』: You… you monster.
『Ritsuki』: Monster!
Carl's voice came, calm and cold.
『Carl』: I already told you, next time we meet, you won't be so lucky.
『Carl』: And now… you can die.
『Ritsuki』: You!
But before he could finish, he caught sight of two blazing red beams of light coming from where Carl stood.
In the blink of an eye, Ritsuki could feel nothing at all.
Carl had nothing much left to say about Ritsuki.
The man had simply sought his own death.
With a blast of heat vision, Carl ended Ritsuki's life.
Then he destroyed the man's car as well.
Without lingering, Carl left the scene,
found a random hotel,
checked in, and sent a message to Zhang Manyue.
After chatting for a while, he headed to the bathroom to wash up.
Meanwhile, near a luxury residential district,
A man in a black trench coat stood by the roadside.
His name was Do Min-jun.
On the surface, he was a professor, a university lecturer.
In truth, he was an alien.
He had been living on Blue Star for centuries.
Over those hundreds of years, he had fully blended into this world.
Humans on Blue Star had short lifespans, birth, aging, illness, and death.
To avoid suspicion, he constantly had to fabricate death records and assume new identities.
At the moment, he held a USB drive in his hand.
He had already checked its contents.
Inside were videos,
evidence that Ritsuki's ex-wife was still in Goryeo,
and footage of Ritsuki with a recently deceased celebrity.
Because of this USB drive,
Cheon Song-yi had been in great danger.
Ritsuki had broken into her home multiple times,
even sending her a toy with a hidden camera.
Not long ago,
he had even lured Do Min-jun out,
attacking him with a tranquilizer gun.
At the time, Do Min-jun used his teleportation ability to dodge the first dart,
but was struck by the second.
Ordinarily, Ritsuki's tranquilizers contained enough sedative to kill a human outright.
But on Do Min-jun, they had no such effect.
After all, he was an alien.
His eyesight and hearing were far beyond human limits,
and he possessed abilities like teleportation, time-freezing, and gravity manipulation.
He could even glimpse moments from the near future.
With such a physique,
a tranquilizer dart was hardly a threat.
Still,
Ritsuki was dangerous.
Do Min-jun himself wasn't afraid of the man,
but what about Cheon Song-yi?
It wasn't as if he liked her that much…
but he couldn't just stand by and do nothing.
If Carl knew what he was thinking, he would understand,
Korean dramas always loved this setup.
Two people clearly liked each other,
yet they'd pile on misunderstandings and awkwardness,
dragging the plot out for ages before finally getting together.
If they just confessed from the start,
a K-drama would end in two episodes.
…Actually, maybe even that would be too long.
Of course, some novels were the same way.
Cough cough…
In short,
Do Min-jun had plenty of reasons to be worried about Cheon Song-yi.
Now that Ritsuki was targeting her again,
things were only getting worse.
Do Min-jun's powers couldn't be used to kill,
if he took a life with them, he himself would die.
So…
what was he supposed to do?
He looked at the USB in his hand,
but found no answer.
He had already warned Ritsuki two or three times,
even demonstrating his teleportation ability.
But the man showed no sign of giving up.
That left Do Min-jun unsure of what else to try.
Should he kill him anyway?
No, his powers' side effects made that impossible.
Just then,
he felt something strange.
Glancing around,
he looked back at the USB drive,
And suddenly,
images began to flash in his mind.
Scenes he knew well,
because they were of the exact place where he stood now.
And the figure in the vision was him.
Only…
the vision wasn't exactly pleasant.
In it, he was lying on the ground.
The earth beneath him was slick with blood.
He was gravely wounded, unable to stand.
Then,
someone rushed over from the side,
looked around furtively,
and snatched the USB from his hand.
The vision ended there.
Do Min-jun fell silent, lost in thought.
He knew this was a glimpse of the near future,
one of his abilities.
He had used it countless times before,
so he never doubted its accuracy.
What puzzled him was this:
With his abilities, superhuman vision and instant teleportation,
there was no way he could be harmed on this planet.
If danger arose,
he could simply teleport away.
So how could the future show him lying injured on the ground?
It didn't make sense.
He had no clue how he would be hurt,
but he did have a strong suspicion about who was behind it,
Ritsuki.
Or rather, one of his people.
After all,
in the vision, the person who appeared had stolen the USB.
No one else in the world would care about it except Ritsuki,
and no one else even knew it was in Do Min-jun's possession.
Ritsuki…
What kind of danger could bring me down?
And if the USB was taken,
would he finally leave Cheon Song-yi alone?
Whatever his reasoning,
Do Min-jun didn't leave.
Instead, he took two steps forward,
stopping at the very spot where, in the vision, he had fallen.
He looked down at the ground,
this was exactly where he'd be lying in the near future.
!!!
At that moment,
a dazzling light flared before him.
Do Min-jun's head snapped up to see a black sedan speeding toward him.
With his inhuman eyesight,
he immediately grasped the situation.
So this was it?
The car was the one to hit him?
He froze time,
ready to teleport away,
But the time-freeze lasted only an instant.
Before he could teleport,
Duang!
The black sedan slammed into him,
sending Do Min-jun flying three to four meters into the air.
