Chapter 218: Let's Go Back!
From what he knew about the end of the storyline, the ghost really hadn't disappeared and stayed with the female lead, but it was the girl who had stopped seeing the boy. So it was likely that Tyler would have to suffer in this world, but he didn't have a choice. He desperately needed to get out of this transmigration system, and he knew that the only way for that was getting all of his powers back.
After going back, he would definitely compensate his senior. Tyler tried to hypnotize himself into thinking of the happiness that he would get in the end, but he still felt a trace of sadness lingering in his heart. How could he not? After all, this was the senior he was talking about. The person he had spent many lifetimes, and even married. How could he not be sad after knowing that they would be separated again?
Tyler's throat choked up for a moment, but he took a deep breath and closed his eyes that were already starting to moisten. He couldn't let his senior see his emotions. Since this man had amnesia right now, he would continue to fool him! After opening his eyes again, he looked calm and composed. No one could tell that he was on the verge of crying just a moment ago.
"I have a way. You can stay with me in this world for as long as you like." Tyler told the male lead the half-truth.
Ja Seok raised his brows and loosened his hand. "Really?"
The human nodded and said, "Your last wish has changed."
When the male lead heard that, he couldn't help but frown. He thought for a moment. Before meeting Tyler, he wanted to kill those people who had done injustice to him. But he didn't want revenge anymore. All he wanted was to be with this person beneath him on the bed. So when the latter said that the male lead's last wish changed, he wasn't lying.
"That's true! My last wish has changed!" Ja Seok's mood suddenly lifted. His eyes lit up as if they were glowing at the sudden realization. "I only want to be with you!"
Tyler didn't say anything and averted his eyes to hide the fluctuating emotions in his eyes. This ghost would definitely be with him, but the former knew that he wouldn't be able to see his senior anymore after all the arcs were finished. And he couldn't even die in this world, unlike others, since he was another lead.
So, in short, Tyler would have to endure and nothing else.
He pursed his lips and forced a smile. "Now, will you let me go?"
The male lead bit his lips. He was still unsure, and for some reason, he felt a bad premonition in his heart, but he ignored it and believed Tyler's words. This human had told him that they could be together. So he wouldn't have to worry about it anymore. "Alright. Let's go."
And that was how the male lead and Tyler found themselves in the library in the dead of night. The human had sneaked inside when everyone was asleep since he didn't want anyone to discover what he was doing. Since he wanted to do this, the ghost helped him by opening the library door. He had stolen the keys from the counter and placed them back after opening the door.
After that, the two of them walked over to the area where official files were stored. This was the area where even staff wasn't allowed. So Tyler knew that he wouldn't even enter the premises of this section in the daylight. That was another reason why he wanted to come here all alone.
He tiptoed toward the files and started scanning everything. In the original storyline, too, the female lead had helped the ghost by coming here. He scanned the entire section from top to bottom with the help of his senior for two hours, but the only thing he found was a piece of paper that was about fifty years old.
The files here didn't contain any information for more than twenty years. So Tyler wasn't able to find anything valuable other than the piece of newspaper.
When the male lead saw that paper, his eyes darkened. He had been wandering in this place as a ghost for more than fifty years, and he had forgotten many things. He didn't even remember the faces of the students who had murdered him brutally.
But he remembered one thing. No one did anything about his death and didn't even punish the criminals.
The male lead remembered feeling resentment back then, but now, he knew that this feeling had also reduced. There was only one reason behind it. Ja Seok was secretly thankful to those people who had murdered him. It was only because of them that he was able to meet this amazing human named Tyler.
So the ghost was quickly able to control his emotions and said, "They didn't do anything about it and simply declared that I drowned to death."
Tyler frowned at that. Drowning was possible for anyone but the ghost. The male lead was a professional swimmer. So the explanation that this student who was supposed to participate in the nationals died suddenly because he drowned in water was an illogical explanation.
Back then, everyone had bought the media and controlled the news. Even the school trustees were involved in this to suppress the death news. So the only thing that was published in the newspaper was that a young student had died because he couldn't swim properly. They didn't even mention the name of the student in the paper.
Tyler folded the paper and kept it in his pocket before turning toward his senior. "Let's go back."
The male lead's mood instantly lifted after seeing his baby's face, and he didn't care about his past anymore. He didn't have a body anyway. So it didn't matter whether he could find those murderers or not.
