Regressor Instruction Manual (PART 4)

Chapter 624: That's a lie (2)

'I shouldn't get used to his kindness.'

'You have to be suspicious.'

'He's poison.'

"I have to remain vigilant to the end."

'Don't ever trust him. That's what I learned.'

'Everything is acting, and it's all calculated behavior.'

Occasionally, there were times when Lee Kiyoung showed similar behavior.

Either he looked at a distant place, or he had a grim face. That was obvious, but I'd never taken it seriously.

I judged it as a habit when he was deep in thought, and he actually looked like he was.

However, what I saw at that moment was different from what he'd been doing.

'There is something there.'

What I thought not to be a big deal and that it wouldn't be much different from his habit of tapping his thighs with his long fingers had more to it than I was aware of.

'What? What the hell is it?'

The way he was still holding his head carefully as if the pain did not go away was hard to describe. He was even at that moment looking like he was out of his mind.

I couldn't help but speak up. If I didn't talk, I felt like he would continue to stay that way.

"Kiyoung..."

"..."

"Kiyoung, are you okay?"

"..."

"Kiyoung!"

"Oh...! Yes?"

"Just now..."

"Yes... Oh... Did I... something..."

"..."

"Yes... I'm fine. You don't have to worry."

"But..."

"I'm really fine. I haven't been able to sleep properly lately... I just felt a bit dizzy. So you don't have to worry about it. If I take a rest, I'll get better. It occasionally happens when I'm busy... You can think of it as a habit, a habit. I... Looks like I frightened you. I'm sorry, Raphael. Ha... Hahaha."

'That's a lie.'

I wasn't certain.

However, I could tell that he was lying.

The human named Lee Kyoung reacted very sensitively to what I just said. He looked a bit different from the way he always looked perfect.

His unnatural face and unnatural behavior. I didn't know what he's wary of, but I felt that he became very cautious. I hadn't spent a long time with him. However, based on my experience, I could be sure of one thing.

The present Lee Kiyoung was taking off his mask.

He threw away his mask, which had only wrapped himself in perfection, revealing his real weaknesses.

What I saw in front of me right at that moment was the real Lee Kiyoung.

The true him hidden under the mask of the Honorary Cardinal, the Chairman, the Blue Vice Guild Master, the hero who saved the continent, the one chosen by the dragon, and the incarnation of Benignore.

'This is an opportunity.'

It deserved to be an opportunity.

The Honorary Cardinal, who seemed to have no flaws, was revealing his only weakness.
