Rudy flew in the air and searched the places Rebca worked at, but she wasn’t in any of those places.

“Where could she be?” Rudy asked himself. “She shouldn’t have met Joe yet.”

Joe was going to be Rudy’s stepfather after a month, but Rebecca hadn’t met him yet.

‘But maybe this world is a little different she might have met him?’ Rudy wondered.

‘Should I check at his office?’

Rudy flew to Joe’s office, but on his way there, he caught a glimpse of Rebecca in the playground.

She was sitting in the chair of the booth, with dozens of other booths and stalls in the playground.

“Right… it’s the festive weekend. So we are selling candies at the festival.” Rudy sighed.

‘She told me to do it, but she must have realized I was exhausted, so she came here instead.’

“Should I go and help her?” Rudy asked himself. But then he shook his head and muttered, “If I go, she will probably leave and go to the restaurant and do the waitress job.”

Rudy decided to let Rebecca sell the candies in the booth. At least, she was sitting in the chair and relaxing.

‘My memories are still fuzzy about everything, but I am remembering everything slowly.’

Rudy hovered above the cloud and watched Rebecca for a while.

A group of kids approached Rebecca and bought some candies.

“If I recall correctly, I made 500$ in my past life at this event. That’s enough to pay the rent.”

Rudy smiled and uttered, “I wonder how she will react when she gets 100$ notes in each packet of those snacks.”

‘I have to be present there to see the smile on her face,’ Rudy chuckled.

Rudy was about to leave, but he stopped and squinted his eyes when he noticed Rebecca acting suspiciously.

Rebecca glanced around to make sure no one was looking at her. Then, she slowly moved her hand into the candy jar and took one candy.

She once again glanced around as she unwrapped the candy and slowly inserted the candy in her mouth.

“Heh!” Rudy laughed out loud after seeing and scoffed, “She is so cute sometimes.”

After that, Rudy left to check on Reina because her swing park should be open already.

He flew over the tunnel and muttered, ‘I still can’t believe I passed through this tunnel.’

Rudy landed on the water tank of the swimming park and glanced around to look for Reina. But she was nowhere to be seen.

“She must be in her office.”

Rudy counted the people in the swimming park.

“107 people…” Rudy pondered for a while and muttered, “Reina said she is charging 5$ for a ticket. So even if she gets 100 customers daily. She would make 15000$ a month.”

“That may sound like a big number, but even then, she would need 12 years to pay off her debt. And that’s not calculating the supplies and expenses of the pools.”

“She said she would increase the price when she starts getting enough customers, but… it would still cost her too much. Besides, the interest on her debt will keep increasing.”

Rudy sighed and uttered, “I will drop by here next week and see if I can help her manage the waterpark.”

For some reason, Rudy wanted to see Reina, so he wanted until she came out.

Rudy was genuinely awed by her beauty.

“She looks good in every outfit she wears,” Rudy muttered. “And I am sure she isn’t wearing make-up.”

‘The guy she would go out with will be one lucky bastard,’ Rudy murmured under his breath.

Rudy couldn’t foresee the future yet. If he could, he would see himself making out with Reina in the locker room.

Rudy stared at Reina for minutes and watched her do her job. However, he forgot his ability to see through and ended up getting a boner.

“I should go back.”

Rudy left and made his way to his city. However, he stopped and gazed at the tunnel.

“For some reason, I am feeling attracted to the tunnel…” Rudy murmured.

He landed near the entrance of the tunnel and stared into nothingness.

It was dark, but Rudy could see everything clearly because of his superpowers.

“I feel like I am being watched, but I can’t see anyone…’

Rudy wanted to run as far away as possible from the cave. However, something inside him wanted to go inside.

‘I still remember the chills I got when I was passing through the tunnel. I also remember the girl’s pale face. I remember the lifeless glare in the girl’s eyes. I remember everything. But… I also remember that warm feeling when I was about to leave the tunnel.’

“It was the best feeling, somewhat similar to how it felt when I hugged mother in the morning.”

That was oddly specific, but Rudy just couldn’t shake the urge to go inside.

Eventually, he gave in to the temptation and entered the cave.

The further he walked in, the colder he felt. He could feel the murderous glare from somewhere. However, he wasn’t afraid.

He had superpowers, and he managed to get out alive from the tunnel once.

For some reason, Ruy felt as though the girl wanted to say something to him.

‘What if she was following me to leave the tunnel with me? What if she…” Rudy corrected himself and uttered, “What if her soul is lost in this tunnel, and she is simply looking for a way out?”

‘But what about those bizarre deaths and accidents she caused?’ Rudy wondered.

Rudy had too many questions, and the answers were simple; that was to ask her in person.

After walking for five minutes in the tunnel, Rudy called out to the girl: “Are you there?!”

There was no name mentioned in the article he read, nor was there any information about the girl.

Rudy walked further and waited for the girl to appear before him, but she didn’t.

Rudy sighed and uttered, “I guess I will just go back.”

He turned around to see the girl standing in front of him.

“…!” Rudy immediately jumped back and made some distance between them.

He was scared. Not from the girl, but a menacing shadow behind her.

[Ki ki ki. No one is going to save you this time!] the shadow uttered in a sinister voice.

Rudy looked at the girl and saw her lips trembling. She slowly opened her mouth and said with tears in her eyes, “Ru…n”
