Trash of the Count's Family

Chapter 561: We will now start the first record (1)

“October 25th, 11am.”

Cale quietly watched Lee Seung Won who was peeking at him while speaking.

“Keep going.”

Lee Seung Won hesitated before responding to Cale.

“Hyung, will this really be useful?”

Cale looked up after seeing the uncertainty in Lee Seung Won’s eyes.

He could see the clear sky.

He was currently on the roof of the central shelter building.

‘Cale-nim.’

Cale recalled the conversation he had with Choi Han last night.

‘What is it?’

‘The God of Death said this in passing… But either way, this is what he said.’

Choi Han had wondered if it was important, but he still said it as if it was nothing.

‘The sealed god is not able to return to the past, but he is able to push his way into a different dimension.’

Choi Han then shrugged his shoulders, saying that was it.

Cale, who had been extremely busy since last night, was finally able to think about it now that he had some time.

‘He's able to open a path into a different dimension?’

Did that mean that this place was not a test created with his past as the background?

“…Could this be a different place?”

Or was it just an illusion created for his test?

“Rok Soo hyung.”

Cale turned his gaze.

"Can I ask you what you mean by that?”

Cale shrugged his shoulders at Choi Han's question.

“Hmm? Oh, nothing much. I was just thinking about the dimension thing you mentioned last night.”

“Ah.”

Choi Han instantly understood what Cale was thinking.

“Are you thinking that a different dimension-”

He peeked at Lee Seung Won for a moment before shutting up.

Lee Seung Won was looking at Choi Han with interest.

‘He said that he was Rok Soo hyung’s close dongsaeng?’

They were said to be like blood siblings.

‘He’s the same age as me.’

They were the same age, but Lee Seung Won found it difficult to speak to Choi Han for some reason.

Choi Han also stayed next to Rok Soo hyung and did not try to chat with the others.

Cale nodded his head at Choi Han who had stopped speaking after peeking at Lee Seung Won.

“Yes, I'm just thinking about that statement.”

“But I came into your consci-, mm, anyway, that was the condition.”

Since Choi Han had come into Cale's consciousness, he didn't think it was a different dimension or anything like that.

“I'm not sure.”

Unfortunately, Cale didn’t trust either the God of Death nor the sealed god.

Gods. He had never seen them lie, but he had seen them not tell the entire truth many times.

‘Either way, whether this world is an illusion or a test or whatever…’

He was going to treat it as if it was real.

Cale had already made up his mind.

He looked toward Lee Seung Won and started to speak.

“You asked if this will be useful?”

That was the question Lee Seung Won had asked Cale just now.

‘Hyung, will this really be useful?’

Lee Seung Won cautiously nodded his head.

“…Yes. Do you think it’ll be useful?”

Cale nodded his head at the question.

“It’ll be useful.”

The more that this world was real to Kim Rok Soo and Cale Henituse…

Lee Seung Won’s ability was necessary.

It didn’t matter whether this world was an illusion or a test.

He needed to create a future for them.

He needed to give them hope.

Wouldn't that be the best way to get rid of his despair?

If getting rid of Cale’s, or actually, Kim Rok Soo's despair was the conditions for passing this test…

That made it more important for Cale to create a future for them.

That way he could… Wash away the despair he had for not just this one moment, but the future that would come.

“I told you, right?”

He put his hand on the shoulder of Lee Seung Won, the boy who was only three years younger than him in this place.

“Data is the future. Even weak humans are able to defeat a monster if they know its weakness. Being able to think. That is the greatest strength humans have.”

Lee Seung Won’s ability.

‘Recording.’

Cale looked at the small badge in Lee Seung Won’s hand.

It was a random badge that had been rolling around inside the building.

“Seung Won. The information you create with your abilities will become the hope for this world.”
