Difference in perspective (1)
Emotional shock often translates into anger, and C-9’s members were no exception.
Whether they forgot to take first aid measures or didn’t know what to do with the psychological blow, they continued to criticize and punch.
“How much Jeong-ho took care of you! How could he do this while wearing a human mask… … .”
“… … .”
Outdoors where chaos does not subside.
I move to the scene of the accident with my right forearm drooping, and examine the details of the engineering chief who has fallen to the floor.
The middle-aged man’s side was completely ripped off, as if he had been attacked by a beast, and part of his intestines were spilling out.
In addition, four or five stab wounds to the chest.
If it only took a few seconds to defeat the monster, it must have been enough for the man dragged by the hook to change his target and deliver a fatal blow to the engineering chief.
The good news is that he hasn’t died yet.
“You bastard that’s not even as good as this dog and pig! you-“
Without saying a word, I picked up the dagger that had fallen on the floor and approached the engineering commander who was dripping with blood.
There seems to be no problem with the airways, so the cause of hematemesis is obviously damage to the lungs.
Regardless of the extent of the injury, it was far beyond the point where survival was possible with excessive blood loss, so the only thing I could do was give him time to say his last words.
hooked!
Short screams and astonishment spread around for a while.
The dagger neatly pierced the side of the right lung and drained the blood, and the throat that suffered from reflux quickly calmed down.
“nice. cool, cool… … .”
“… Uncle, you haven’t lived long.”
“hehehe, I see.”
“yes. I’ve shed too much blood If there is something you want to say, do it now.”
It wasn’t until I felt anger or sadness, and above all, I tried to back off straight away because I didn’t have much time given to him.
Park Jeong-ho, the engineering director, suddenly grabbed my forearm.
“Well done. you saved everyone It was heroic.”
“… … .”
It wasn’t a story I liked.
I didn’t fight with the intention of saving anyone.
“Junho… don’t hate me too much I just picked a better option. It’s like I prevented everyone from dying.”
“… If he hadn’t dragged me away, I would have won.”
“You don’t know that. Battles don’t always go according to plan. Besides, the more you use your mind, the more it wears out. Of course, there wouldn’t have been any legal problems even if I killed the person whose mind had been eroded… … .”
what.
Although he casually refuted it, he had no real personal feelings.
Junho Lee, as long as you killed your teammates with your own hands, you will pay the price yourself.
So, for now, I thought it would be better to focus on pleasing the other person.
“Don’t keep it inside, just do it like today.”
“… I will try.”
After a while.
Immediately after handing over the remainder to the raid members, I stand back and watch.
“I… excuse me. I have fusion injectables in the car, can I have them? It will help quite a bit with minor injuries.”
I nodded my head at the suggestion of the agent from the management bureau, but my eyes again gathered around the engineering director to the members who were wiping away tears.
Click, click.
It was annoying to see some of the citizens taking pictures as soon as they came to their senses, but they did not avoid the place in the end.
Looking back, I think my first meeting with C-9 was a whim.
The appearance of the entire team having a handicap in one part was seen easily even outside the barrier, so they were less vigilant than other human groups.
It was also heartening to show off a nice smile without a hint of discomfort.
yes.
It was probably because the existence of the country preferred people who knew how to resist and confront reality.
Because I can’t do that.
At least I will never do something like sacrificing my own life like Park Jung-ho, the engineering leader.
And one more, useless information to add-
“Jeong-ho, Jeong-ho!”
“… … .”
The people I liked always left early.
* * *
The battle officially ended at 3:00 PM, and the scene was cleared around 6:00 PM.
Because the number of monsters and the number of victims increased more than expected, additional personnel such as the corpse disposal team and the management support team were dispatched to clean up.
After the first measures were over, the city center also slowly regained its vitality.
A notice was received that power outage recovery and traffic restrictions would be lifted at 8:00 pm, and military trucks also disappeared from the road.
However, the citizens of Seoul showed curiosity first rather than expressing joy at the news of the monster subjugation.
“You will make an announcement before 12 o’clock, right?”
“Yes. Originally, it was released around 11 o’clock.”
“Did you say the location is Yongin City?”
“Yes. There are a total of four monsters, and only Yongin City has been declared the start of battle. The rest would have been shot down.”
Everywhere in the city center, inside the shelters, they make their own inferences to soothe boredom until the traffic restrictions are lifted.
And part of the answer is held by the HT Group headquarters.
7:25 pm, East Building of HT Group, Yulgok-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul.
In the conference room in the strategic planning room, the day’s subjugation screen was displayed on six large monitors, and opinions were exchanged in full swing.
The person in charge of video editing, head of strategic planning office, and manager Yujin Park attended the event.
“It wouldn’t be okay to live with this-”
“Cut. It’s too much.”
“… … .”
I ran to the engineering chief’s death without even a moment to grieve, but the man with the angular glasses frame the size of the collar of a suit puts aside one by one.
The problematic part was Lee Yong-soo’s act of hitting with his elbow while breaking through the crowd.
“Isn’t this video open to the public? There is nothing good about using force against ordinary people.”
“… Yes.”
“Let’s use cam 4 for the next scene. Isn’t that the best?”
“I think so.”
As soon as I pressed down the keyboard, the motion of a boy who jumped up after stepping on a rebar embedded in the wall was projected on monitor 4 and the drone cam.
“As I live, there are days when I receive help from the administration. A drone cam.”
“… It looks cool.”
Following the successive breakthroughs, until the moment the monster’s body exploded, it was only a short time before we agreed.
Park Yoo-jin and the head of the strategic planning office silently watch the video, but after the battle ends, they clash again over the situation.
In other words, the disagreement over the conversation between the raid leader Park Jung-ho and the boy could not be narrowed down.
“Again, why?”
“It’s a problem since he stabbed his lungs with a dagger and gave first aid, and Lee Jun-ho is new… Big hum. We also have to keep in mind that Junho Lee is still a member of the HT Group. It’s much better to cut it out whole than to make a mistake trying to push it. Besides, the emphasis is on defeating a level 5 monster alone.”
“Then what about C-9?”
“… … .”
“You cut all the scenes against the level 6 monster the other day. As the head of the department said, Yong-soo stands out enough with his solo performance… Do I really have to hit it?”
Then, the head of the Planning Office let out a deep sigh near his tie.
In terms of rank, he would be the boss, but the hero’s manager was implicitly treated as an outsider of the company–even if it was cumbersome, I had to add an addition.
“Eugene, no… manager.”
“… Yes.”
“Let’s look at this situation calmly. The monster grade temporarily assigned by the Administration Bureau is 5th level lower. Considering that I manipulated more than 100 people to my will, I’m guessing that he might be a lieutenant or higher. So, let me ask you a question here. Do you know how old the youngest person with special powers was to defeat a level 5 monster?”
“… Fourteen.”
“you’re right. For reference, I am 17 by Korean standards. It’s not even a standalone treatment. Everyone was supported by a Tier 4 raid. But do you really need to throw in a C-class raid in a situation like this? The public wants good news rather than tragedy.”
“It is, but… … .”
Puffy.
Before Park Yu-jin was summoned to the head office, he received a request from the person concerned to take care of it to the best of his ability – he couldn’t say it out of his mouth.
A displeased expression returned to him.
“In addition, the group policy has also been confirmed to support Lee Yong-soo. Some of the facilities in the 2nd factory were damaged, but if it’s a promising melee… It will be easy to use.”
“… … .”
“So let’s end this story here. Yujin, just stick to your duties as a manager.”
The bird whose snout was shut up by remarks implying stock price defense and corporate value evaluation, the head of the planning office completely turned his back and exchanged conversations with the person in charge of video editing.
“Look back to when I confronted Lee Jun-ho. right. The angle is set to come out alone, and the screen is enlarged. Hold it so you can see the air quivering around the gauntlet.”
“Shall we add subtitles?”
“no. Press materials will be distributed separately, so you don’t have to. Haze of power has a rustic feel, so I should do it in English. Well… How about the Power of Haze? Any comment?”
The scheduled government announcement time is 11:20.
Until then, we had to finish the work and distribute the video and press release.

smart.
Five hours later, Park Yoo-jin returns to the Seongbuk-dong mansion and knocks on the door located in the corner of the second floor.
The day passed from Friday to Saturday before I knew it, and the display on my wristwatch pointed to 00:20, but there was a document I had to receive.
“excuse me… … .”
As a manager, if there’s a time when you need to be careful about your appearance, it’s right after the subjugation is over.
As he opened the door with a more cautious expression than usual, a boy sitting at the table next to the bed came into view.
I knew it.
The right arm was supported with a splint and brace, and a pack of syringes for muscle and fracture treatment was scattered on the table.
Of course, there was a clear hint of displeasure between the brows. Following the advice of her peers, she tried to wait in silence for an answer.
However, because Lee Yong-soo used his molar teeth to tear off the outside of the pack-type syringe and put it on his tongue- a voice full of embarrassment resounded throughout the room.
“What, what are you doing!?”
“… … .”
In fact, since his right arm was smashed, he had [skeleton] and [flexibility] developed, so he ate it up because he felt it took him to inject the drug directly.
Contrary to the perception outside the barrier that good is good, to the manager, it was nothing but bizarre- Silence hovered between the two for a while.
Then all of a sudden
Unexpectedly, the boy’s words opened first.
“… Are you done?”
“Ah yes. I tried to take care of it somehow… It has become difficult.”
“… I didn’t even expect it.”
“… … .”
As a former villain, it was like expressing distrust of the society within the barrier, but from the standpoint of accepting it, I wondered if he was pointing out my incompetence, and I was downcast.
rustle-
Repeatedly, a piece of paper on the table was handed over.
“A battle report.”
“Oh, that’s right! Wasn’t it difficult to write?”
“… Yes.”
“That’s fortunate. Post-battle reports have to be submitted within 12 hours unless you’re seriously injured, right? It may be a little annoying, but being able to write is a good thing, so let’s think positively. The new ability report is-”
“I put it in between.”
Park Yoo-jin, who has achieved his original purpose, puts on a bright smile.
There are not a few heroes who don’t use them on time because it’s annoying, but they’re just blunt on the outside, and when I ask, they don’t forget to listen.
“Oh, did you see the report?”
“… no.”
Therefore, she responds with favor after favor, bringing up a new subject before the atmosphere subsides.
The death of Park Jeong-ho, the head of the engineering team, is truly regrettable, but it is because the young hero did not want to end the day in a subdued mood.
Anyway, I picked up a few short report clips on the way.
“I will show you briefly. I saw a few on my cell phone on the way home, but the comments aren’t crazy.”
“… … .”
When I put my cell phone in to express my intention to reject it, the two pairs of eyes naturally reach the screen.
[Why the world begs for a 15-year-old prospect from Korea.]
[The most perfect subjugation strategy, Japanese netizens are amazed!]
[The only situation in the world where only Korea’s Geundeal has defeated the top monster.]
[This is South Korea, foreign netizens’ shocking reaction to the solo treatment of a level 5 monster.]

My head stopped spinning for a while at the list of videos in an incomprehensible area that appeared on the main screen.
Salty eyes flew in and awakened Park Yu-jin’s mental head.
“… Do you like this?”
“No!”
“… … ”
“Tea, the thumbnail in the car was so funny that I clicked it once. Wow, these are funny. How can I see something once, not twice, as an algorithm… … . Because it’s not real? Yongsu, don’t you believe me?”
If a snort is a laugh, then it was a success in reversing the atmosphere.
