“I made a mistake. Excuse me. Because I wish to have a gift for a lifetime. I gave up now, but hearing from Choin-nim, it sounds special.”
“it’s okay.”
Cheon Myeong-guk’s expression, which had been very excited, became more comfortable.
That puts my mind at ease too.
Because you know that there are no free gifts when you reach Cheonmyeongguk.
I’ll have to tell you when the improved Penta version is complete.
You help me a lot, but I guess I should help with the opening of the gift.
If you say you need the blood of your heart, you won’t be misunderstood.
“But it’s definitely groundbreaking. It is sure to have a huge repercussion around the world.”
According to Cheon Myeong-guk, research to detect gifts around the world is in full swing. I hadn’t heard that development was complete until I returned to the past, so there’s a good chance it won’t be finished for decades to come.
I slowly got to the point.
“And I heard that there was a request for cooperation from China.”
“Oh, yes. As it is a diplomatic matter, I did not say anything about it as it has nothing to do with Choin-nim.”
“Can I hear you?”
“Yes.”
Chun Ming-guk nodded and told about the request from China.
In a nutshell, it was about cooperation in subjugating pirates in the southern seas.
As the sea was taken over by monsters and restrictions on air supremacy were imposed, it was an era in which pirates roamed.
He even tried to hit the base with a missile, but he was restraining himself as it produced a result that stimulated flying monsters.
In the end, it was not easy to chase a pirate who risked his life to open a sea route, although he had to mobilize a warship to clear the pirates.
Rather, they fell into traps and warships became victims of marine monsters.
The Korean Peninsula is not prone to pirate invasions, but it was often seen on Jeju Island.
“I think he has other intentions.”
“That’s right. We think in three main ways.”
The reason why China has made such a proposal is that the first is to fight piracy as it is, the second is to improve relations with Korea, and the last is to look to the south instead of the north.
“In particular, China is very sensitive to territorial recovery.”
The stronger the Republic of Korea, the less China’s influence. Not only this, but if the monsters are pushed to the north during the territorial restoration process, the number of monsters passing over to China will increase.
In other words, the more Korea regains its territory, the more monsters flock to China.
Korea gets stronger and China suffers.
This was the decisive reason for the uproar in China.
Is China a unilateral victim or not?
When Zhang Zidong was present, they also tried to invade the North Korean region, saying that it was a South Korean policy.
The result was failure. I think this will do it, so let’s get along. It’s an absurd proposition.
There is no way for the government to give up on territorial restoration anyway, so there is nothing to do and sleep.
I moved on to the pirate story.
“Is there a possibility that pirates and Taipingmen are related?”
“Very high. No, I’m sure. Otherwise, the spread of Taipingmun cannot continue.”
The pirates operating in East Asia, Southeast Asia, and South Asia were linked with the villain organizations of each country.
The largest of them is Taipingmun, which exerted a strong influence not only on the whole of China but also on the Indochina Peninsula.
Their ideology closely resembles the league, and small and medium-sized organizations have also been affiliated with the league.
The current Taepyeongmun speaks of itself as an equal collaborator with the league, but the government considers it to be half-owned.
“In particular, there is a high probability that the main body of pirates operating in East Asia is Taepyeongmun.”
“… … .”
After listening to Cheon Myeong-guk, the puzzle was put together and the picture was completed.
If it is simply a villain organization operating in China, I have nothing to worry about. However, not long after, when two 8-level monsters appear, Taepyeongmun surprises Busan.
They landed on a ship driven by pirates.
Busan suffered enormous human and material damage as it was hit in the head in an unexpected situation. Thousands of people were kidnapped at the time.
There is no reason to go there in the first place.
Because we can’t ignore the catastrophe that will happen in the future.
It’s not that I have a different sense of justice than others. I was too deeply immersed in this society to ignore the inevitable catastrophe.
Then it would be better to deal with the villains in advance.
And the destruction of the Taiping Gate is a means to damage the league. I can’t give up this good thing.
I asked Cheon Myeong-guk for data on pirates and Taepyeongmun.
“Superman.”
“Yes.”
“What are you planning on doing?”
“It doesn’t matter.”
“It cannot be. I know that Choin-nim is trying to do something huge right now.”
Chun Myeong-guk is already making a gloomy expression on his face.
Anyone who sees it will know it’s a mess.
I can’t say I’ve seen the future. At this time, I felt frustrated.
“I am trying to carry out a solo operation.”
“Is it related to Taepyeongmun?”
“Yes. I don’t have anything for sure yet. I’ll try it first and report the results when I get them. It could be nothing.”
“No, that solo operation is also reported to the superiors. Please tell me more.”
“Because the president who is the subject of the report is not present. I’ll let you know when I’m sure.”
“Come on, wait!”
Chun Myeong-guk called me desperately, but pretended not to hear and left the room.
I headed to Busan that way.
* * *
What I felt when I arrived in Busan was that the whole city was languid.
The mayor of Busan was dishonorably resigned and the ruling party mayor was elected as the mayor of the ruling party.
Yoo Seong-soo was trying to unite the southeast region while shouting for a big Busan, so there was a conflict with the ruling party’s policy to restore administrative districts to their former state.

Maybe it’s the noise caused by the change in who picks up and eats Congo.
I don’t think the ruling party is right.
There was a conflict with Choi Hyo-jik over the lunch box, and Yoo Jung-ho, a league spy, also belonged to the ruling party.
With the thought that he is the same, if corruption is noticed, he will just beat him up at that time.
The reason he is close with the president is not because he is in the ruling party, but because the code matches well.
The mayor of Busan hoped that too.
I didn’t make an appointment, but I asked the mayor of Busan for an interview. Despite the sudden visit, the mayor of Busan welcomed us with a welcoming expression.
“It’s Han Ki-yeol. It is an honor to meet Choi Jun-ho, Superin.”
Busan Mayor Han Ki-yeol is a former leader of the ruling party and close friends with Ji Chang-yong, who recently resigned, and comes from the presidential lineage.
I heard rumors that the ruling party had become estranged from the president when it distanced itself from the Blue House, but I don’t know until that point.
I just need to fulfill the purpose of my coming here. If we cooperate well, we will become the best partner.
“This is Choi Jun-ho.”
“What happened to a high-profile superintendent in Busan?”
“I came here for a solo operation.”
“… … .”
There was tension on Han Ki-yeol’s face.
Do you think that I came to arrest you like Yoo Seong-soo?
It seems that more and more people are making unnecessary misunderstandings these days.
“It has nothing to do with the mayor. Rather, I have come to ask for help.”
“Ah, is that so?”
Han Ki-yeol’s expression became more comfortable.
As the ruling party leadership flies away, there are rumors that the next ruling party candidate may change.
I immediately stated my purpose.
“I want to receive support from the Coast Guard.”
“All of the requests of Superin may be necessary, but we need to know what kind of mission they are in order for smooth cooperation. Excuse me, but for what reason are you asking for help?”
“There is information that pirates have been active in the South Sea of China recently.”
“I know. It is often said that it appears in Jeju Island, and recently, it even appears in front of Geoje Island.”
When I asked how he handled it, he said that all he did was chase him away.
If you track it, the pirates will lure them to the place where the marine monsters are, so it is not easy to capture them.
“There is one more reason that it is not easy to touch, but if you provoke the pirates, the Taepyeongmun can attack, so we are restraining ourselves. As you know, Taepyeongmun is the largest villain organization in Northeast Asia with two superhumans.”
It would be terrifying if that superman landed in Busan.
Even if you sink the ship you’re on, you’ll survive like a cockroach.
Since the Korean Awakened Forces are deployed in the north for the north advance, it is not easy to block them when a superhuman invades.
But in the future it will actually happen.
In that respect, Ki-Yeol Han is looking at the situation properly.
At least, I’m taking a posture to prepare for it. Come to think of it, in my last life, the mayor of Busan would be Yoo Seong-soo, so I would not have been prepared at all.
Since the smuggling trade is being promoted and the league is connected, there is no way that pirates will be on the alert. It’s like leaving the door open to the thief.
I unlocked the information.
“Taepyeongmun may land in Busan soon.”
“… So it happens.”
This is a different reaction than expected.
I thought you’d be a little more surprised.
“Do you know anything?”
“We are conducting a large-scale search for the Taipingmun forces in China. It is a fortune organization, but it is said that it is hiding under great pressure. Even if there is a hiding place, you have to eat and buy and survive, so you don’t need money.”
Ki-yeol Han said that when Yoo Seong-su is a market, it is highly probable that a significant portion of the smuggling trade is from Taepyeongmun.
In other words, I blew the money line at Taepyeongmun.
“Then why do we need the Coast Guard’s help to prevent Taepyeongmun’s provocation?”
“you’re right. I’m trying to make sure the back of the head doesn’t tickle.”
A horse is a pirate, after all, a villain. Once removed, the back of the head will not tickle.
Han Ki-yeol’s expression brightened.
“I will cooperate as much as possible.”
* * *
There was a ship crossing the southern sea engulfed in darkness.
On the deck, the captain of the ship shouted with his bewildered eyes wide open.
“Investigate as closely as possible! Otherwise, I’ll be able to play a sutra!”
“With only this much fuss… … .”
Although the crew members were dissatisfied, they obeyed the orders. He was busy looking for gaps by grasping the movements of ships patrolling the South Sea.

Most of the crew on the ship were Chinese.
They pretended to be ordinary fishermen, but they were pirates of the Suryong Order under the Taiping Gate.
He turns into a fisherman in front of a difficult opponent, and a pirate in front of a large boat.
“It will be attacked from the door soon. If you guys want to earn a decent salary too, work hard from now on!”
“Okay.”
It was around the time when the boat they drove quietly sailed up the South Sea, passed Geoje Island, and arrived near Busan.
There was a ship approaching fast in the distance. Unlike them, it was not difficult to recognize the identity of the brightly lit boat.
“Captain! Here’s a boat!”
“Which boat?”
“It’s a Coast Guard ship!”
The captain’s expression darkened.
“Why the Coast Guard? Isn’t the time not patrolling now?”
After looking at it a few times in recent years, I thought I knew the patrol time, but my expectations were wrong.
Today, the purpose was to measure up to the front of Busan. However, things took a turn for the worse with the sudden appearance of the Coast Guard.
The captain, who was looking at the sea off the coast of Busan over the coastline with regretful eyes, spit and said to the helmsman.
“Turn the boat around. Can you avoid it?”
“Available.”
The captain nodded in response to the helmsman’s answer.
“Go back.”
Because today is not the only chance.
It’s annoying, but you have to fill in the form one more time.
It was time to turn the boat around with the promise of the next. Behind them came the screams of the sailors.
“Captain! Something fell off the coastline. Coming this way!”
“What nonsense… … .”
I could see the captain, who had an annoyed expression on his face. A person who got off the coast guard crosses the sea and rushes to where they are.
Its speed was terrifying.
He is an extraordinary talent. Did they know they were coming? Suddenly, my spine became cold.
“Shoot! Get out of here!”
Doo doo doo!
At the same time, bullets started pouring out. Then, a translucent film appeared in front of Inyoung, and all the bullets were deflected.
Running over the sea and creating a Force Shield?
He was a talent that exceeded expectations.
The sailors who were shooting felt it too.
“Come on, Captain! Bullets don’t work.”
“What should I do?”
“Keep shooting! Slow it down!”
However, the speed of the approaching Inyeong was faster than the moving ship. Bullets poured down like rain, but it didn’t slow Inyoung’s speed even a bit.
It was when Inyeong approached the ship.
Whoa!
It jumped over tens of meters over the sea. With the illusion that the new model overlaps the moon, Inyoung stepped forward as if walking in the air and descended toward the ship in a large parabola.
The target was this ship.
“Stop it! Stop it! Turn him into a beehive!”
At the command of the evil captain, the sailors went wild.
That was then. Inyoung, who had never attacked before, waved her hand in the sky.
Blue air currents reflected in the moonlight swirled and rushed in.
A blade-like storm swept over the deck.
The captain quickly drew his sword and took a defensive stance.
“Kill that guy… … .”
Whoops!
It was a hell that spread throughout the generations. In front of him, the captain as well as the dozens of sailors standing around were caught up in them and dispersed into thousands of pieces.
Then the deck was dyed red.
Blood splattered on the faces of the sailors who were barely swept away by the aftermath.
they were terrified
“Hey!”
“Hey, monster! You must run away!”
“Uh, where are you running?”
But there was nowhere to escape. All around was an endless sea.

Meanwhile, the main character who caused the blood flow landed on the ship. This is where the captain was standing a while ago.
Contrary to his terrifying majesty, he was a blue-eyed young man.
As soon as the eyes met with no emotion, some sailors started peeing.
The man who overwhelmed his stomach in an instant opened his mouth.
“I will take over this ship.”
“You bastard, what nonsense are you talking about!”
The first mate objected, but what returned was a thunderbolt made of force.
Crazy!
Woodduck!
“Ouch! Aww! Sah, live… … .”
puck!
Forced by lightning, his limbs were broken, and the head of the navigator who was crawling on the floor was crushed like a tofu and met the end.
A cold silence descended once again.
The young man who looked around opened his mouth.
“Anyone dissatisfied?”
“… … .”
didn’t exist
“great. Then, someone who can speak Korean, come and see.”
“… … .”
“Kill until it appears, and you will learn.”
“I, I can do it.”
The contemplative helmsman stepped forward. He said he was Korean.
said the man who nodded his head.
“I am going to your hometown.”
“… … .”
All sorts of thoughts popped into the helmsman’s mind in an instant. I’d rather go to the wrong place, buy time, gather as much power as possible, and deal with him… … .
Aww!
“Ouch! Ouch!”
The helmsman with his shoulders slumped fell to the floor. He was crawling on the floor like a worm, his eyes met the man, and he trembled like an aspen tree.
profit!
The man sprayed me with a healing agent. The helmsman, who returned to his senses as the pain subsided, did not dare to make eye contact and bowed his head.
“If you lie, the next one is your head.”
The helmsman, who had seen Taipingmun Superman, realized.
The man in front of him would have been cruel if he had been more cruel than them, and he was never a person to be sympathized with.
If you roll your hair one more time, I’ll kill you.
Even if he died, there were a lot of guys who would guide him to his base.
“Go, I will go.”
“Let’s go.”
Terrified, the helmsman began to drive the boat.
