“The incident took place in the outback. Did you know from the beginning? who it is.”
“Yes. you’re right.”
“Then why didn’t you tell me in the first place? Even knowing.”
That was the thing I was most curious about.
What happened to Kabulsky, one of Russia’s main pillars, to keep his mouth shut?
The fact that he didn’t even talk to the pilgrims with the tremendous power of healing meant that they thought their proposals were more important than the pilgrims’ existence.
“I was the first to contact you.”
“You mean Envy?”
“Yes.”
“What did you propose?”
“We promised to bring the pilgrim into our arms.”
It was the moment when the first question I had asked was answered.
Why did they want pilgrims, but they did what pilgrims hated the most?
Leaving joining Russia as the best option, they treated Russia as if it were their own gift.
“Is this your first contact with them?”
“That’s right.”
Even in Russia, it was a situation where they could blow their nose without using their hands, but there was no way they could resist.
Because there is no evidence of contact with them.
I could understand their position.
But convincing was the next problem.
The most important question still remains.
“Slums…what happened to the slums? Why is there no support?”
“The reason is simple. Because it is not worth the investment.”
The answer is not worth the investment.
Seonghyeon could not object to that statement.
As Seong-hyeon healed them as a pilgrim, what he felt was not because of this flood, but because of the original illness or minor injuries.
The problem there wasn’t just the environment.
Some people are addicted to drugs and have given up everything, and those who have the will but lack the strength.
It was where these people lived, and even making them ordinary required a huge investment.
“It’s not worth the investment…well, you’re not wrong. So is it worth the investment at the time I treat them?”
“There is not.”
The answer came without any hesitation.
Of course, the answer would come without hesitation through mind control, but nonetheless, the feeling was quite unpleasant.
“The talk ends here. So, do you know what happened this time in the slums?”
“I know.”
“Is this also related to them?”
“Yes. there is.”
Pretty passive answer.
Despite being mentally controlled, the fairly passive answer seemed to be instinctively reluctant to respond.
But that didn’t break him from the power of mind control.
Besides, Seong-hyeon’s magical power was infinite, so he’ll probably live in this mental control for the rest of his life.
If the other person answered passively, it would be enough to ask more persistently and in detail.
“What exactly did they do?”
“He made an offer to me.”
“Tell me in detail.”
Kabulsky’s subsequent reply was truly shocking.
It was a somewhat expected answer, but I didn’t think about it in more detail, and it was something I couldn’t possibly do.
“I was well aware that the maintenance of the slum itself was like an existence to Russia. It’s called Russia’s Chibu.”
As Kabulsky put it, the slums are the richest of Russia.
Among the countries in the top five, Russia was almost the only country with slums.
The street where the American man lived was also a slum from the American point of view, but compared to the slum in Russia, the difference was quite severe.
“Envy has offered us to manage the slums for us. All other ownership is in Russia, but it was a proposal to take over the management of the people living in the slums.”
“What did you get?”
At Seong-hyun’s question, Kabulsky’s eyes turned to the wall.
The wall I saw in Sammy’s lab.
“We also received several other equipment.”
“In exchange for them, did you completely hand over the management of the slums?”
“Yes. All I was told was not to worry about what happened.”
“Then why did you entrust me with the treatment of the slum this time? If you said you don’t have to worry about it.”
“It was done at the discretion of Anatoly. I first heard the report that the pilgrim had left the hotel and was heading there.”
Anatoly probably did this because she had a younger brother in the slums.
‘I’d rather be honest with you.’
Although the circumstances were pitiful, this was clearly using Seonghyeon.
Under the pretext of belonging to Russia.
However, since the intention was not impure, Seong-hyeon did not take this issue too seriously and just passed it to the other side of his memory.
“Then you don’t know what’s going on with the people of the slums?”
“Yes. I do not know.”
“Even if they are being tested against humanity?”
“…if it helps Russia, then they will be delighted.”
“under.”
Perhaps this is an answer that can only be heard in former dictatorship countries.
Although Kabulsky’s patriotism was so great, the direction itself was twisted a lot.
“good. Be proactive with them in the future.”
“All right.”
It was nice for Seong-hyeon to know their stronghold directly, but it was also a good idea to leave other methods like Kabulsky.
This made the answer clear.
It is said that Russia is not an alliance with a group, but a relationship of mutual benefit and cooperation.
Of course, this was only for Kabulsky.
“Do you know anything more about them?”
“I have met their chief.”
It was an unexpected answer.
In response to the completely unexpected answer, Seong-hyun asked, looking into Kabulsky’s eyes, who had lost focus as if interested.
“Who are you?”
“He was quite calm, but he had a lot to hide.”
“Do you know anything about abilities?”
“I don’t know about his abilities, but there was one special thing.”
“What is? That’s what makes it special.”
“There was a saying that was carried around like a habit. We are moving forward.”
moving forward to the best
It was quite abstract.
Does this mean that what they are doing now is going for the best?
The word “best” itself was quite a positive word, but there was one blind spot.
that it is very personal.
The best thing for them, who believe in the supremacy of hunters, probably means a future where all ordinary people disappear.
“It’s moving forward… It’s like you’ve seen something, you know it.”
“I had one last word. The variable is one. say.”
“You don’t know what that variable is?”
“It is not expected.”
This was the end of the conversation I had with the chief.
However, one unanswered question remained.
“Why did you meet the chief?”
“Neither do I. It came suddenly.”
“…All right.”
Now I have heard everything Kabulsky has to say.
Seonghyeon completely cut off the magic he used to control his mind, and then his dazed eyes started to come back to life again.
“Ugh… the head…”
“Are you okay?”
“Oh, it’s fine. What else were you talking about?”
“…it was about slum support.”
When I saw the reaction, it seemed that I did not remember completely.
It was as if he had no memory of the time itself, as he poured a much greater amount of magic than Envy’s mind control.
“Ah… I think it will be a little difficult to support the slums.”
Kabulsky responded with a little notice to Seong-hyun, who looked quite serious.
Although he was not usually a pilgrim with a benevolent and compassionate personality, his attitude toward the weak was evident just by looking at his actions.
“I can’t help it. All right.”
Seonghyeon made sure she was listening to the command she had given before releasing the mental control, nodded her head and got up from her seat.
“Are you really okay?”
It was Kabulsky who was rather embarrassed by the appearance of giving up easily, but Seong-hyeon had no regrets any more.
“Yes. There must be some unavoidable things.”
“…Thank you for your understanding.”

Many questions have been resolved, and the end of what had been questioned until now has come to an end.
‘Using the inhabitants of the slums of Russia as a biological experiment, I did not lose consciousness like them.’
We’ll have to wait a little longer to find out, but what’s certain is that whatever purpose they had and how much they hid, the best they wanted was quite different from the outcome Seonghyun wanted.
“If I kill Envy and Sammy, will their leaders who lost their arms be revealed?”
I thought a little, but there was only one answer.
It would create another arm, but nothing would change.
Seong-hyeon’s purpose was not to hinder or prevent their plans themselves.
Those who naturally commit acts that are different from their own plans and yet are anti-human, to Seong-hyeon, they are no different from demonic beasts.
“Time will solve the problem, but I don’t want to leave it like that.”
After a while, they will come to know the pilgrims.
The only variable the group leader mentioned was most likely Seonghyeon, because it was the pilgrim who had similar abilities to that Seonghyeon.
However, if you think about what they have done so far, they were unacceptable to even exist in this world.
These are the people who don’t know what’s going to happen tomorrow.
The existence of the rapidly changing door was also quite difficult, and this group, which corrodes from the inside like cockroaches, was unpleasant in itself.
No matter what the cause, no matter how best the result is.
“Seeing that I met the head of Kabulsky in person, it doesn’t seem like it would be difficult to meet him…”
Do you have to satisfy something special in order to meet the chief?
I wondered if the chief might have left something on Kabulsky’s body like Envy did, but Kabulsky’s body, which I had checked a while ago, didn’t feel any other kind of magical power at all.
Of course, Sung-hyun may not have noticed, but Sung-hyun was confident.
There is no one in the world who can completely fool Seonghyun’s eyes right now.
“How to meet the chief…”
It seemed that Sammy had already received a lot of trust, but Envy wasn’t yet.
However, he couldn’t act like them to earn Envy’s trust.
‘What is the difference between sacrificing cows for the sake of the generations.’
Seong-hyeon did not want to sacrifice a cow for the sake of the generation.
And now, I’ve reached a point where I can do it without doing this.
“Shall we go with the materialized equipment?”
It was a method that came to mind.
I could tell that Sammy was close to the chief without seeing or asking.
That said, Sammy would be quite important to them, and Sammy’s main work was research and experimentation.
“The equipment that I make into materialization is not of a very high level, but it is definitely unique.”
In addition, the ability to materialize under the name of Kim Seong-hyun was an undisclosed ability.
It was an ability that he could use as a pilgrim, and considering Sammy highly valued and the level of equipment he currently uses was high, it was a promising method.
“When is the next realization possible?”
However, the time was limited by making the equipment that can be used for purification materialized to Manager Cha.
[5 days remaining until the next realization is available]
Fortunately, the time limit was considerably shorter than before.
“If you can make equipment with healing abilities, you will be able to catch the eyes of the chief.”
Seonghyeon was very satisfied that a method other than just waiting was created.
