The road to the Blue House.
Yong-yong kept staring at me as I was driving.
“If you want to say something, say it.”
[Are you tired?]
“uh.”
[Then without a specification.]
Yong-yong asked me if I was curious.
[Isn’t it too heavy to carry? It is not an easy task for a single human being.]
“It’s something that needs to be addressed at least once.”
[What are you pointing out?]
“Working with me.”
[You didn’t like that person very much, did you?]
“I like it.”
Even now, Jin Se-jeong is my favorite relationship. By substituting the unique element of the idol worldview, the elements that could be treated as a villain were blocked in advance.
If it wasn’t for Sejeong Jin’s method, I think I would have faced huge opposition at one time or another.
If Yoon-hee was seriously running around, it must have been.
I want to acknowledge that ability and go on for a long time.
But there was one premise, and that was a deep understanding of what he was doing.
[what does it mean?]
“At the end of the day, the Awakening is about killing someone. If Jin Se-jeong is not aware of that, it will be difficult to work for a long time. It’s good to take this opportunity to point it out clearly.”
[Can’t we just go without pointing it out?]
“I don’t want that.”
After all, I was an Awakener who killed someone. Jin Se-jeong needs to understand more precisely what he is doing.
The disappearance of Beijing was a good opportunity.
If it is to save more people, it is better to help as soon as possible. But what if it was made in China? In the end, that’s what they did. Anyone with the right mindset knows that he has to deal with it.
Frankly, it has nothing to do with me.
It may be heartbreaking to see more people die in the process. But that’s all. Considering the danger of the two-horned monster, it would be difficult for anyone to come forward.
If it was Jung Da-hyun in such a situation, it might be heartbreaking.
Anyway, my surroundings are more precious than those I don’t know being sacrificed.
Jin Se-jeong must face it and overcome it to be able to work with me for a long time.
There is nothing you can do if you quit.
[It’s really bad, you.]
“Did I do anything?”
[That’s not it. It’s bad to just test.]
“You should know what you are doing at this point.”
Even if the world of idols is insidious, it cannot be compared to the lives of many people coming and going here.
[But I have a question.]
“What.”
[You were calm about the sudden appearance of a monster? do you know something?]
Yong-yong wasn’t a god for nothing. It was quite nice to see.
I neither affirmed nor denied that statement.
Yong-yong followed me tenaciously, but I did not answer.
Eventually, he gave up and changed the subject.
[But aren’t there too many people being held hostage to just watch?]
“A lot.”
Even though the population has decreased since the appearance of the monster, China is still the country with the largest population in the world. The two-horned monster appeared in a densely populated area, so the slower the response, the greater the damage.
[…] … .]
“why?”
[I feel like I have become more ruthless than usual.]
“It makes a difference.”
[I don’t think so.]
Anyway, I will hunt monsters.
There is only a difference in timing.
Yongyong was relieved by those words, but he looked at me carefully and made fun of me.
[In the past, I felt like I was looking for a direction in which people died less, even if they were bored.]
“Now is?”
[The expression that it doesn’t matter if I die?]
“I used to be like this.”
It’s just that the image towards the nasty neighbor who is overbearing and doesn’t understand the subject is not good.
In fact, after the increase in gifts, I couldn’t feel the change myself.
As the presence of blood feeding increases, is the nature of the hematoma affecting me? No, I think it’s because of the mood. If I had 10 gifts, I would have made the same choice. Maybe I’m just dismissing all of my choices as the fault of a hematoma.
I don’t think I’m weak enough to be swayed by a hematoma anymore.
I’ll have to take a moment and see what kind of impact this is having.
“Anyway, it doesn’t matter how many humans die to you, a divine beast.”
[That’s right. So I feel more uncomfortable. Am I talking to another Shinsoo right now?]
“I am human.”
[Because humans are not human.]
While talking with Yong-yong, I entered the Blue House and headed straight for the meeting place. There, the chiefs of the Blue House and secretaries were gathered.
“It was late.”
“It’s okay. I just started. Sit down.”
The meeting, which had been paused for a while, resumed when we were seated.
The two-horned monster that appeared in China was named Pandemonium, and it attacked Beijing and destroyed the city.
I stopped in Beijing for a while, but I didn’t know when it would start again.
Also, because the time period was different, the shape of the monster was also different. The two-horned monster that appeared when he was a blood race was not in the form of a pangolin, but in the form of a monkey.
I have to think of it as a completely new monster.
“It is estimated that over 10 million people in Beijing were killed by the pangolins alone.”
“… … .”
There is a huge difference between killing a monster ‘directly’ and causing human casualties by destroying a city.
After the actual city function is lost, higher sacrifices are often made by lower-level monsters that follow after the named-class monsters.
However, there has never been an instance where a monster alone caused such a sacrifice.
Everyone was speechless and shook their heads as they watched.
There was no such shock when a harmful level 8 monster appeared or a plus level monster appeared.
“How did the North Koreans do it?”
“After I left Beijing, I immediately moved to Shenyang. The atmosphere inside the Union Army seems to be very serious.”
“It will.”
A two-horned monster appeared at the time of victory in the civil war. And I couldn’t protect the capital and just watched as more than 10 million people lost their lives.
Even if the civil war was won, it was safe to say that the future of the Union Army was bleak.
“Currently, the Union Army has requested the help of Choe Jun-ho. I have been waiting for an interview at the Blue House for three hours.”
It is said that the Confederate government also sent someone to make a request for me.
Are they trying to pretend they didn’t do it? One ponytail went well.
“Let’s discuss this a little more and decide. Plus-plus-level monsters may come to our country, so pay special attention to the trend.”
“Yes.”
After the meeting presided over by the president, the chiefs of staff and secretaries went out. All that was left was the president, Cheon Myeong-guk, and me.
The fact that other people didn’t look at him in a strange way meant that Chun Myung-guk was already recognized as the successor. Although it has not yet been revealed externally, it seems that traffic has been organized inside.
“As you can see, things are going horribly.”
“It looks like that.”
“The plus-plus stage monsters are much stronger than I expected. I didn’t know it would be like this.”
“The damage spread is because the venom of the pangolin is spread all over the place.”
The power of poison that corrodes everything is beyond imagination.
In particular, it is said that the poison spreads by twisting the space, which is close to how the Awoken use the Gift.
The higher the level of the monster, the better the intelligence.
“I don’t know if a monster that will bring about the end has appeared in the neighboring country.”
“Because they made it.”
The eyes of the President and Cheon Myeong-guk turned to me.
“What do you mean?”
“The two-horned monster was artificially created.”
“How do you do that?”
I said that I saw it in my last life, so I said that I heard it like a flowing stream from Namgoonggi when he removed Zhang Yuyuan.
Even in death, you give generously.
“At that time, they said that they would gain world supremacy once the research on monsters was completed. I thought it was a bluff, but when I saw it appeared this time, I knew it had some credibility.”
“… … .”
The president and Cheon Myeong-guk were still in shock. Is it because I said it too late?
Even so, there is no reason for me to share information individually.
“Of course there will be no evidence.”
“Yes, no.”
“But when it comes to timing, the timing was perfect. To the extent that it feels like the sky is helping the Confederate soldiers to just throw it away. Why did the North Korean army attack Beijing as soon as they took it?”
The president looked at Cheon Myeong-guk and asked.
“How about running the simulation?”
“Everything fits. But the Confederate government will not admit this.”
“I will not admit it. But I don’t have the strength to cover this. now we are I have to welcome guests.”
The president first called the Confederate Chinese ambassador to the Oval Office.
He asked me for help in a triumphant way, saying that China is currently engulfed in civil war, but it must follow a cause.
Anyone who sees it would look like a loyal person who desperately cares about the future of the country.
The president said with a cold expression.
“Are you saying this knowing that the appearance of this monster has something to do with your government?”
“What do you mean! Are you insulting the great nation now?”
“I was telling the truth, not an insult.”
“Cancel now! Otherwise, I will never stand by this carrier!”
“What if I don’t leave it alone?”
“… profit!”
The Confederate ambassador to China jumped up and showed his anger, but the president’s expression did not change.
“Now, the People’s Republic of China has produced results that will destroy the world. To keep the regime in power, to create such a monster and ask for help. I have no worries.”
“It’s a misunderstanding!”
However, as the president’s confidence did not waver, the expression of the Chinese ambassador to the Confederate Army began to crumble. He didn’t seem to know the truth, but when the President said he was confused.
“From now on, the ambassador can go back as we will take measures to cut off school.”
“This insult will never be forgotten by my country!”
“I have nothing else to say but that.”
“… … .”
“Before we warn you, it’s better to think about going back to the place where the plus-plus stage monsters run rampant.”
The Confederate ambassador to China returned home full of anger and fear.
It was a much tougher response than I had expected.
“I don’t have any evidence, can I scream?”
“Everyone knows that the appearance of plus-plus stage monsters is not natural. As time goes on, more details will come to light. But waiting until then takes a long time. We need to hit before that.”
What damage do you mean?
Chun Myeong-guk added an explanation as if he had noticed my question.
“What the president was talking about was the legitimacy of the Confederate government. Since the North Korean army was mortally wounded by the annihilation of Beijing, if the Confederacy, which promoted this situation, is also hit, the two sides whose legitimacy has been compromised will be in confrontation for a longer period of time. Rather, a new faction with legitimacy may appear and a three-way war may take place.”
Did you aim for that with a few words? Once again, I thought the president was great.
Cheon Myeong-guk, who noticed that, is also amazing. I think it would be great to be president.
“If you actually take action, you’ll think we have the evidence. The sooner the better. Because if you give it time, reason will intervene.”
[Are all humans so cunning in the first place?]
With such political power, they are at the apex of a country.
“Then it’s time to see the long-awaited guest.”
The president ordered the Chinese ambassador to the North Korean army to be summoned.
The official name of the Union Army was the United States of China, with the banner of fair treatment of all nationalities and all peoples.
Li Zhenhuo’s close aide and the North Korean ambassador to Korea entered the office with a contemplative face.
With your ears open, you probably know that the president met with the Chinese ambassador to the Confederate Army first.
Although he knew how to speak Korean, he spoke Chinese with pride, but he clinged to the president with fluent Korean.
“Sir President! The United States is now in a grave crisis. I hope you will have pity on the sacrifices of the ten million people who have been momentarily vanished by the onslaught of demons!”
“I express my condolences for the loss of the United States.”
The president responded with a sad expression. As a human before being a politician, he expressed regret for the current situation of the Union Army.
“Currently, the United States desperately needs the power of Choi Jun-ho. That monster destroyed and corroded everything. We can’t fight that monster with our own strength!”
“He was strong.”
“Great man! Please help us!”
The arrogant North Korean ambassador to China knelt in front of me. Chun Myeong-guk, who had once had a verbal battle with him, seemed to be surprised by the behavior he showed now.
“… … .”
That’s just the reaction of Cheon Myeong-guk.
Kneeling has nothing but the smooth wear of spiky self-esteem.
“Why should I help the Commonwealth of China?”
“Yeah, there was help from great people in the establishment of the United States.”
“That’s what I didn’t like over there.”
“… … .”
“What should we think of spreading the fairy tale nurturing system so that we don’t bother?”
“That, that… … .”
The North Korean ambassador’s face turned white.
But with all the facts you know.
“I don’t know why I should help an enemy with a sword.”
“That, that. Please, man! Right now, the United States is in an urgent situation. I’ll give you anything in return, so please help, help first.”
Everyone wants their pain to be the most painful and the first to be resolved.
And I am insensitive to the pain of others.
So do I.
It’s not uncommon to ask for help at no cost just because you’re in a hurry after doing everything behind your back.
Of course, I did some tricks, so I don’t want to ask for help.
“Let your head cool first.”
I’m in no hurry
“I think the United States can show us one small castle in order to overcome this urgent situation.”
“Seo, what if it’s a castle?”
“We need proof that the Confederate government created a plus-plus stage monster.”
“… … .”
“If you bring it, I will go hunting for monsters.”
“… … .”
“I’ll give you enough time, so think about it slowly.”
“Great man! great man!”
“I think this doctor has been delivered. I want you to go back and think about it.”
At the president’s congratulatory address, the Chinese ambassador to the North got up from his seat helplessly and went outside.
Even in order to survive at the hands of the monster, I will bring proof.
With this, you’ll get evidence that you can’t even take out or beat.
As the president said, if both the Confederacy and the Union Army lose their cause, they will fight each other for a long time and will not be able to pay attention to this side.
furthermore.
If possible, it’s good to be certain. It is a price that cannot be publicly disclosed anyway, so I can take the image of going out for China.
At that time, when China faced the two-horned monster, over 3,000 Awoken were exhausted with consumables, and then all the superhumans in China and eight superhumans from neighboring countries joined in and succeeded in hunting.
To that extent, the two-horned monster was an opponent that even me could not be vigilant about.
Conversely, it was expected.
[Perhaps… … .]
Yong-yong, you have noticed my heart.
[Did you plan to hunt from the beginning?]
uh.
[really?]
It’s an opportunity to get a good taste of your hands, but don’t you want to miss it?
I wonder what the blood taste of the heart of a two-horned monster is like.
[You weren’t trying to save someone!]
that is humility
Yong-yong looked at me with a puzzled expression.
