250 – The Awakenings of Namsan # 2
250 – The Awakenings of Namsan # 2
“No matter how much we interrogate him, he won’t open his mouth. “I tried using a bit of a drastic method to open my mouth, but it didn’t help.”
Cha Yu-ra, the president’s daughter and S ranker, looked at Kang Cheol-min on her monitor and let out a sigh of relief.
Did you say that Kang Cheol-min, a first-generation awakener, was carrying out all kinds of illegal black operations as a member of a team called “Patriots” Or “Patriots”?
However, he was the mastermind and executor of the ‘Seo Ye-rim disappearance incident’ that occurred some time ago, and was held responsible for it and was imprisoned in ‘Level 0’ located on the 51st floor of Namsan.
Why on earth did Kang Cheol-min, who was working for the country, do such a thing?
Many people were curious, but Kang Cheol-min said he did not open his mouth.
From noble mtl dot com
“That guy, Kang Cheol-min, will never open his mouth through interrogation or torture. That guy was always first in training to withstand torture. He’s a very nasty guy. He is a nasty bastard.”
I was someone who knew Kang Cheol-min quite well.
I guess that’s why the government called me to this prison.
Cha Yura said.
“Mr. Ildo, can you make him open his mouth? Why on earth did he suddenly do something like that? “There are so many things to ask, such as who he is holding hands with and what his purpose is.”
“I will give it a try as far as I can. But don’t expect too much.”
I looked at Oinoi.
If you had the nymph Oinoi, it was easy to deal with the tied-up evildoers.
If the nymphs start hitting them hard, Kang Cheol-min will blow up all sorts of things.
Puchwiiiiik-.
When I opened the door, a cool breeze shot towards my face.
I and Oinoi entered a room decorated entirely with white cushions.
“Are you a mummy?”
I asked Kang Cheol-min first.
She looked just like a mummy, wrapped tightly in white clothes.
Then Kang Cheol-min said.
“In times like this, I have to ask if he is Hannibal Lecter. “Anyone can see me right now as Hannibal.”
“You said you wouldn’t say a word, but you just open your mouth.”
“That’s because you always talk about your shortcomings.”
It was Kang Cheol-min who smiled.
I asked Kang Cheol-min directly.
“Why did you do that? Do you know how much I suffered because you put us on a deserted island? “You’ve been a guy who has been doing reckless things for a long time, but shouldn’t there be something to say about it?”
“… ….”
Kang Cheol-min closed his mouth.
Is he determined not to answer questions that are disadvantageous to him?
Because I expected him to be like this, I nodded towards Oi Noi.
Then Oinoi clenched his fists and shouted.
“It is said that the fists of the nymphs have the effect of making the hearts of wicked people as clear as ditch water… ! Moreover, this Oinoi is the chief nymph… ! It is clear that the effect will be the best… !”
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo.
The explosion of the top nymph’s “Nymph Bigi, Strike.”
It was a mace of condemnation that made quite a few evildoers not able to withstand even a single second and scream “aaah!”
Kang Cheol-min was like that too.
“aaah~.”
“Now, go ahead and tell me the truth.”
“Did you know you were going to say ─?”
“What?”
I was surprised.
Kang Cheol-min doesn’t even give a nod to “Nymph Biggie, Hitting Me Hard”?
Oinoi also seemed embarrassed.
“This is the first time something like this has happened… ! All evildoers have a weakness for the nymph’s fist… ! That’s the rule of the world… ! Nymphs are strong against dragons and evildoers… !”
Fairies had a superior compatibility with dragons and villains.
And because he used the special martial art Nymphu, he boasted overwhelming compatibility even against fighters.
However, Kang Cheol-min seemed to be unaffected by Oinoi’s fist.
Because his name is Kang Cheol-min?
Is it because I am a steel type that I am opposed to the fairy type?
For a moment, I thought it was a funny joke, but when I thought about it, it was quite possible.
Kang Cheol-min is not a villain─.
I came to that conclusion in my head.
“Kang Cheol-min, are you saying you’re not a villain?”
“That’s a stupid question. Heildo, rather, what I want to ask is this. Why did you get off the island? I just wish I could live happily on a deserted island with my women. “It may be irreversible now.”
Kang Cheol-min said something incomprehensible and turned his head.
It was like looking at the CCTV installed in the room.
“Haildo, our entire conversation is being monitored through the receiver attached to you, right? I know this well because I have done many interrogations. Turn it off. Then let me tell you what I know. “Let that nymph go too.”
Are you saying we should have a conversation just between the two of us?
I sent Oinoi out and turned off the receiver.
Now, only me and Kang Cheol-min are left in this secret room.
Soon Kang Cheol-min spoke.
“That’s great courage. “What if I overpower you and break out of prison when you’re left alone?”
“Kang Cheol-min, you can’t beat me.”
“What are you talking about? Don’t you remember that I had a higher odds of winning than you? “Don’t you remember how you disintegrated after losing to me in a 1:1 duel?”
“I think I won more. “You were the second person.”
“Haildo, your memory seems to be fading as you get older. Anyway, I don’t want to have a long conversation with you. Just state the business briefly. “There’s not much time left.”
“I don’t have much time?”
“A strong awakening calls for a strong crack-. Even you and Hail, who are weak in theory, probably know these obvious rules. And now, to be honest, the strong awakeners are saturated.”
“Saturation?”
“Sudden fall snow, unusually hot summer. Abnormal temperature. Anomalous cracks that have started to open frequently recently. I wouldn’t think it was just a coincidence. “Something difficult to handle will happen soon.”
“Are you saying that there is a danger that goes beyond a T-class crack?”
“I don’t know that either. However, if the number of S rankers increases like this, it is certain that something unimaginable will happen. “The current president and companies will not be able to stop it.”
I thought I knew why Kang Cheol-min imprisoned Seo Ye-rim on a deserted island.
It was to reduce the number of S rankers roaming around the world.
It was a very ignorant method.
“Haildo, you know very well that the world is different from the stories in fairy tales. You know very well that sometimes you have to sacrifice the few to save the many. “Someone has to carry the gun.”
Kang Cheol-min seemed to have his own shield of justice tightly wrapped around his heart.
In a way, his story was right.
There were many instances where the minority had no choice but to sacrifice themselves for the happiness of the absolute majority.
Of course, my opinion was different.
“I don’t think so. “There must be a way for the absolute majority to be safe and happy without anyone having to sacrifice anything.”
“Haildo, your idealism is more exhausting than torture day and night. You’ve been like that since long ago. You and I have always had parallel opinions. Just wait and see. “I guess I’m right.”
“It’s true, it’s true. Before you talk about justice and justice, be nice to your mother. You unfilial bastard. “I raised my only son well as a single mother, so I’m sure she would be happy to be locked up in prison like this.”
“… ….”
Kang Cheol-min has now kept his mouth completely shut.
Even though I tried to talk to him more, he never responded and just closed his eyes and slept.
I won this debate.

“Saturation of S rankers… ? So I did something like that….”
S Ranker Cha Yu-ra nodded at the information I heard from Kang Cheol-min.
Indeed, he seemed to be impressed.
“As expected, the correct answer was to call Mr. Il. You two were very close, right? I am a 3rd generation awakened person, so I never got to see them in person at the training center. “I heard you two were close friends.”
“It was like that in the old days. “Now, our positions have changed.”
I looked again at the monitor of the prison building where Kang Cheol-min was confined.
You seem like such an idiot.
Cha Yura asked me.
“So what do you think, Mr. Ildo? As the number of S rankers increases, things happen that cannot be handled. Do you really think they are related?”
“Well….”
I had no choice but to blurt out my words.
As Kang Kang-min pointed out, I was weak in theoretical things.
But I could say this one thing for sure.
“Even though that guy, Kang Cheol-min, looks so rugged and scary, he is actually a soft-hearted and timid guy. You don’t develop your strength because you’re afraid of the future. “It’s funny.”
In fact, it should have been the opposite.
If you encounter a problem that cannot be solved with S rankers, shouldn’t you develop greater strength so that you can overcome even S rankers?
Originally, it was said that if your body is weak, your head will suffer.
If you can’t solve a problem because you don’t have enough strength, you can develop more strength.
I knew this better than anyone else, as I had been bothered by D-Rank and then rose to A-Rank, and many problems were naturally resolved.
Overwhelming power.
That was truly the answer to a hundred questions.
“Oh, by the way, Yerim is in charge of the crack that appeared in Mr. Ildo’s well and has decided to deal with it within this week. I think Mr. Il-il and Mr. Jina will probably also participate.”
“Oh, really? “I thought it would take a little longer, but it seems the documents were processed faster than I expected.”
“They say I am Cha Yu. “If you say anything, it’s easy.”
Cha Yura straightened her shoulders as she said that.
It looked like nymphs who like to brag about various things.
She is an honorary nymph.
She’s really turning into a nymph.
I escaped from Namsan under the guidance of Cha Yu-ra.
Then, I saw a child standing at the entrance of the Namsan facility holding a small dog squirrel.
Is it around elementary school age?
A little boy holding a young dog squirrel.
Cha Yu-ra pretended to know.
“Oh, Ji-hoo is here again.”
“Who is it? “Do you know him?”
“She is the child of an intelligence team agent, and she comes here every day to ask for her father back.”
“What happened to your father?”
“What about that…?” . It’s a pity. But it seems the children were too heartbroken to accept it. Actually, the Patriot team is always short of manpower. This time, Team B leader also quit…. So the remaining agents always have more work to do, and it’s a vicious cycle.”
Black agents do dangerous work. Well, there will always be a manpower shortage.
“Mr. Ildo, because of this incident, many positions have become available. Do you have any intention of working in the government? “When Mr. Il-il comes, I think he can start at the team leader level right away.”
Do I work as a government agent?
Cha Yu-ra added an explanation.
“I think there will be a major reorganization this time. Rather than working in the shadows anymore, I think we will all be brought to the sunny side. I wish there was a reformative yet symbolic figure at that time. A person who can give people trust. Mr. Il-il seems like the right person….”
“As a legend, I am actually an icon of trust. But….”
I thought for a moment.
It was a great opportunity to work for the country and its people.
There will be many benefits.
However, the obligations to perform will increase and restrictions will also increase.
“I need to think about it.”
When I gave a vague answer, Cha Yura took out something that looked like a pear from her arms and held it out to me.
It was a brooch in the shape of a Rose of Sharon.
“Then, for the time being, please consider me an honorary agent. “If you have this, you will be able to use most government-related facilities as a VIP.”
Oh-.
This is a free pass to use government facilities.
With this, you can use any facility right away without having to take a number or wait.
From noble mtl dot com
It was a very good return.
As I stuffed the Rose of Sharon badge into my pocket, I looked again at the little boy standing at the entrance holding a dog squirrel.
Then the little boy also made eye contact with me as if he noticed my gaze. He was scruffy and his hair was shaggy, as if he hadn’t washed in several days.
“You are the dog squirrel’s Haildo!”
A little boy approaching me.
I shook my head.
“That’s right, but you’re not. “Call me Legend Haildo.”
“I want to become strong like you! Let me know! “What should I do!”
━Kung… !
It was a little boy who hugged the dog squirrel in his arms even more.
Desire was burning in both eyes.
It was truly a desire for power, and I was familiar with that type of gaze.
“I want to become strong like you! Enough to fight bad guys… !”
You want to become strong like me.
He’s a kid with eyes to see.
“Does that mean you want to be my subordinate?”
