Yuhan-wol staggered and approached Lee Dan-ah.
She has already lost her mind.
This is an unsafe place.
You have to move quickly.
Yuhan Wol hugged her.
body shakes
The footsteps that do not have enough strength are too heavy.
can’t see far
‘If you get attacked… ‘
The road from home to the car feels very long.
woo hoo hoo
‘Go home… ‘
After specifying a route, the car started moving quickly with autonomous driving.
Yuhan-wol took off Lee Dan-ah’s helmet, which was sitting in the passenger seat, and put the zipper on her neck.
The pulse felt in the back of the neck is weak.
He started pouring out divine power.
dizzy.
It feels like the poison is getting stronger as the divine power that escapes.
dizzy.
‘You must not lose your mind.’
Yuhanwol opened her eyes to close.
The lights that embroider the dark window remain in the field of vision like afterimages and swirl around.
‘Spirit… ‘
[You have arrived at your destination. I finish driving.]
Yuhan-wol, who was pouring out divine power without rest.
He looked around at the sudden sound.
I don’t even know how I got there.
The car came right in front of the house.
He staggered down, opened the passenger door and hugged Lee Dan-ah.
‘Whoa… little bit more… ‘
Yuhan-wol entered the dormitory and cracked the door.
dizzy.
As I walk up to the second floor where the bedroom is located, I can’t help but worry about what to do if I drop her.
[Haan Wool Baked… Saang… How is Tae… ?]
[Tongue! It’s okay… oh oh brother… ]
The words of Aiden and Yang Gwang can be heard as if they are buzzing from afar.
But I have no energy to speak.
Lee Dan-ah’s body in her arms is cold.
‘It was so bad… ‘
Yuhan Wol blamed himself.
The countless secret attacks that Hiel Jeroham suffered.
How many more poisons were there?
Even then, why was I not prepared?
‘Hiel Jeroham… ‘
Because he had no reason to worry about poison.
The reason is that.
Yuhan Wol carefully laid her down on the bed.
AF-class words ring in my ears.
his grinning face.
[Well, I will die in the end.]
profit
He unzipped Lee Dan-ah’s upper body.
‘Divine magic. Anti-poison.’
Yuhan Wol on his knees.
He gathered the last remaining spirit in the hand that was on her body.
* * *
‘… … ‘
Yuhan Wol suddenly came to his senses.
Because I felt something was missing.
‘… … !’
Then the memories follow.
As he raises his head in surprise, he sees two eyes staring at him.
it’s heresy
“Ah… are you awake?”
she nods
tired looking face.
“How’s your body?”
“It’s fine… But…”
But what to say.
Yuhan-wol focused on Lee Dan-ah, and suddenly she smiled and said:
“Why is your posture like that?”
“ah…?”
When Yuhan Wol turned to himself, he was kneeling outside the bed and his upper body was lying on the bed.
And a hand rests on the bare skin of her stomach.
“Ah… this is…”
Yuhan-wol is hurriedly trying to remove his hand, but Lee Dan-ah’s both hands grab his hand and put it in place.
“It’s warm. Please do more.”
“…”
Lee Dan-ah smiled and continued.
“Come up. Don’t be like that. If it’s like that, I’m sorry.”
‘It’s not uncomfortable… ‘
Unlike the mind, Yuhanwol’s body moves spontaneously.
The two lay on the bed and looked at each other.
It was so close that you could even see the breath that cuts through the opponent’s fur.
Her breath tickles Yuhan Wol’s skin.
“What happened?”
“His ability was… to spit out a colorless, odorless neurotoxin.”
“For some reason… I feel uncomfortable all the time. Strangely… Even though I did, I was stuck. I have no face.”
“No, thanks to the warning, I inhaled less poison. Dan-ah is… closer, so it seems like she’s been exposed to more poison.”
“…Han-Wol-san killed him and came all the way here?”
“okay.”
Then she looks at him and asks again.
“Is it okay if I don’t have to move quickly?”
“It left no trace. It’ll be fine.”
“then…”
Lee Dan-ah looked at Yuhan-wol and opened her mouth.
“We… we’re doing this a little bit longer.”
* * *
Yuhan Wol focused his mind on his hands.
‘I can’t… ‘
Before I lost consciousness, I concentrated on an anti-poison.
Lee Dan-ah’s body was cold as if it would stop breathing sooner or later.
However, Yuhan Wol did not know whether the divine magic had been manifested or not.
So I’m trying to use it again, but it doesn’t seem to work.
‘just… Did Dan-ah’s body evolve strongly against poison and recover on its own?’
Looking back, it was the same with him who naturally overcame the poison.
Moreover, considering that anti-poison has been developed, Dan-ah Lee’s current physical condition is not very good.
‘I was lucky… ‘
Yuhan-wol turned his head and looked out the window.
Then I heard Dan-ah Lee’s voice next to me.
“It seems that almost everyone has arrived.”
It feels like something is missing.
“How are you?”
“it’s okay.”
Dan-ah Lee, who laughed once, continued.
“As I live, I enjoy such luxury. When I was a trainee and dreamed of the future… I thought that it would be difficult to become a big star if I succeeded in the future, but I’m riding it now. It’s a pity I can’t enjoy it properly.”
It was Yuhan Wol who contacted CCC and arranged a personal plane.
Considering Lee Dan-ah’s physical condition, there’s no way it would be better to move on a regular civilian aircraft.
“I belong to an organization, so even for such things, there must be support.”
Yuhan-wol spoke like a self-talk.
He looked back at Ethan.
“It’s just a little bit more, so take a break.”
Dan-ah Lee, who looked at him, nodded and closed her eyes.

“Ah… Fuck! I can’t eat this anymore.”
A man who looked closely at the large monitor screen with his face out like a turtle neck.
He rolled his bloodshot eyes and leaned back against the chair.
How many times have you looked, turned, and turned around?
It’s been several days since I’ve zoomed in on the scene and watched it closely with my eyes wide open.
This was done after AI had already confirmed that there were no signs of manipulation in the video.
It would be hard work to see this much of a normal video.
But seeing people have their necks cut off, this is not a human thing to do.
Now, the cross section of the president’s neck is coming out of a dream.
‘Wow… ‘
I haven’t been able to eat properly since I started working on this, but I feel like I have to keep craving something.
The man turned the chair and shouted.
It’s a serious and serious job, so I’ve endured this much, I can’t do it any more.
“Confirm that there is no manipulation. Fuck. I’ve done this much, but if there are manipulations in the video, I’m responsible. Take off your clothes. I can’t eat it anymore!”

US National Security Council (NSC)
“There are no signs of manipulation in the video.”
The secret service chief’s words echoed in the conference room.
“…the possibility that the video was shot in another place with the same settings? Or was it all CG?”
secretary who speaks.
But he himself knew that his comment was a nonsensical question.
A video I’ve watched countless times before myself.
If it had been made by someone, it would not have been possible to reproduce it so accurately.
Obviously, he was right at the time.
However, seeing the president die despite such certainty raises doubts again.
How do you mean that video is real?
‘her… ‘
The expected words came from the ear of the chief of staff, who sighed inwardly.
“There is not.”
It’s something I’ve already reported, but there’s no way I won’t ask again.
“There was no hacking, no signs of intrusion?”
“yes.”
“Internal personnel investigation?”
“So far, nothing special.”
“under…”
The secretary sighed heavily.
It’s not getting any results.
Then the Vice President, who was watching them, suddenly opened his mouth.
“It’s like… there are invisible humans.”
His tone was as light as a joke.
But that was the most realistic expression of the video.
Otherwise, how could this be possible?
The defense minister asked abruptly.
“Invisibility cloak… the possibility that high-tech equipment was mobilized?”
Along with the head of national intelligence, the heads of the CIA and the FBI were also in attendance.
The CIA Director spoke.
“Stealth metamaterial… The development of the invisibility cloak has been going on for quite some time and has produced a lot of results. The initial model hides the subject, but instead does not show the background. But now we have reached the level of technology that shows the environment almost as it is.”
“Yeah. So, isn’t it almost like an invisible human?”
“However, even assuming that the latest or more advanced technology is applied, it is difficult to show a video like this. No, it can be seen as impossible. Isn’t the pleural effusion still there? Is it not possible to cut off the head of the president… huh… If you want to harm the president, you have to move, but even if you stand still, something that should be detected in a close investigation is not even showing up even when it is moving? …Impossible. Even in that case, it will definitely leave a mark on the video.”
But apparently the president’s head was missing, but he fell alone and flew into the air.
The opinion of the forensic science team is that the cross section is as if cut by something sharp like a knife.
It’s really hard to cut like that.
It was only possible when a master swordsman came with a very good long sword and cut it with a full swing.
“Any trace of heat?”
If life had come in, wouldn’t the heat information be left behind?
“There is not.”
The FBI director, who gave the answer, continued.
“The Oval Office is equipped with the latest Advanced Passive Infrared (PIR) thermal detection system.”
“What is that?”
“It is a technology that detects ambient heat emitted by all living things. In addition to detecting the motion of an object that emits heat, it can immediately detect a large temperature difference between a specific object and the surrounding object. There must have been, but there are no special marks left.”
At that, the Minister of Defense asked, tilting his head.
“No living things… So what about machines… robots?”
Nodding his head as if his point was valid, the chief of staff added.
“Then what about the sound?”
“There are no signs of acoustics… In this case, it is more likely that life has entered. If robots or machines had entered, no matter how state-of-the-art noiseless technology had been applied, there would certainly have been some subtle sound left. But none of that. “
The Vice President, who was listening, asked.
“Then what’s the conclusion from the current situation?”
The national intelligence officer looked at him and answered.
“The science and technology departments of all intelligence agencies have reviewed them with full force, but no evidence has been found.”
Really thoroughly researched.
But there are no clues.
It’s really like a ghost singing.
The Vice President’s words echoed.
“Is it unknown?”
The head of the National Intelligence Service bowed his head as if he was sorry.
“Even from the information side, we have not obtained anything related to this case so far. Therefore, we are conducting a comprehensive analysis of the post-war information that we had previously obtained. However, it will take some time for the results to come out because the amount is huge.”
