Episode 234
Although a large-scale investigation was not conducted, several clues were obtained.
Here it was very important to decide where the fugitives would run to.
Because one wasted effort meant missing out.
I left the Blue House and headed to the place where I presumed to have escaped.
Perhaps the biggest reason why Cheon Myeong-guk missed the trace was because of the monster’s habitat blocking the escape route.
Even though Korea is considered the safest country in the world from villain monsters, the entire country was still teeming with monsters.
Especially deep in the mountains, it seems like they can’t even think of subduing monsters. As tunnels collapsed here and there, the roads became complicated and there were many villains taking advantage of them.
How do you know?
“Because I’ve been to all of them.”
The number of suspects who escaped was more than a dozen. There will probably be awakened people to guard them, so the actual number will be higher than that. Cheon Myeong-guk made several inferences about where they might run away, and I chose one of them.
This is Gunsan.
Gunsan is located in the best place to avoid tracking, but is also a place beyond the reach of central control. Additionally, it is close to China, so it is not difficult to head to Southeast Asia and Japan.
Of course, the suspects may not go to China. But that’s not my interest.
It’s okay if you catch it anyway.
In order to head to Gunsan, you must pass through the habitat of a huge monster. In particular, there is an assessment that Korea’s back has been cut off by cutting off the West Coast Expressway, so it is necessary to return to the mainland.
The Asan area, which you must pass by, is a place called the paradise of monsters.
So, if you want to resist tracking, Gunsan is a good place.
When we arrived near Asan, Yongyong, who had been quietly watching, suddenly asked.
[Can I help you?]
“No.”
[why! My friend said he would help me!]
“There is no need to get help from a friend for something as trivial as this.”
[is it? They say friends help you when you’re in trouble.]
“Do you think I’m in trouble now?”
[Ah, I see.]
It seems like I’m naive when I see him obediently agree.
[Is this the path of the villain you were talking about?]
“Huh.”
The path of a villain stimulated old memories. When I had a hematoma, I had fun escaping with this method several times.
The cheesy name was not created by me, but by the media. The villain’s way is to jump into the monster’s habitat to shake off the chase team.
It may seem simple at first glance, but know-how is needed to overcome this.
Because making monsters run wild is the worst of all tricks. The villain’s know-how is to jump into the monster’s habitat and kill only the predators there.
In most monster habitats, the predators’ territories are divided, and when the predators are removed, it is quiet at first, but then chaos comes to the ecosystem.
During that time, the chase team cannot even dare to jump into the quiet monster’s habitat. The good thing about this method is that if they randomly remove monsters, the habitat will be a mess, but if only the predators are removed, they will organize traffic among themselves and restore it to normal condition later.
I can use it again.
In the last life, Cheon Myeong-guk fired a missile, saying it was all a matter of judgment. When I think back to that time, I remember swearing at him, calling him crazy, and thinking that I would definitely kill him at any moment.
As a result, they were moving to make that person president.
I sneaked into the habitat and immediately approached the monster that looked like a predator.
Even though he is the owner of the vast habitat that dominates Asan, he is only level 7 harmful.
Quad deuk!
When he saw me and tried to react, I ran towards him and kicked him, and his head turned 360 degrees and he died.
When the monster’s head was removed, the thick scent of blood spread out. It was intentional.
I raised the monster’s head and attempted to break through in a straight line.
“You can just pass like this.”
[Is this really the end?]
“I won’t approach you if I smell the monster’s body odor.”
[Nonsense. It’s so easy!]
If I did it, it would be easy. If other people did it, it would be difficult.
Yongyong passed the habitat whether he was surprised or not. From then on it was smooth. After overcoming the shortest distance, I took a car from the Asan base and headed straight to Gunsan.
And it wasn’t until I arrived that I realized one thing.
[What’s wrong?]
“I arrived faster than them.”
After a long time, I was trying to figure out how fast I was going, and I overtook it.
Now is the time to wait.
* * *
“Move quickly!”
About a dozen cars were racing down the road. Kang Woo-tae, sitting in the narrow seat in the back, sighed.
‘What happened to me…’
Not long ago, he was a third-term member of the ruling party and was mentioned as a potential presidential candidate. By establishing an angle with the president, he was establishing himself as the head of the anti-presidential faction and securing his political position.
It seemed like they were facing a crisis due to the incident called the Awakened Brainwashing incident, but if they could overcome it, it would also become a political asset. I felt that my star moment was approaching, but Choi Jun-ho appeared at the hearing and ruined everything.
Due to Choi Jun-ho’s declaration that he would not sit idly by, the special prosecutor’s movement accelerated and the swords against him and his fellow lawmakers tightened from all directions.
In the process, some people whose charges were revealed early were arrested. From the position of leading the Republic of Korea, he was imprisoned for a moment and was reduced to a position where he would rot for the rest of his life.
Kang Woo-tae was caught like this and could not enter. So, I started thinking about it with my colleagues, and the result was flight.
The idea is to flee to China, now called the Southern Army, to gain strength and then return.
No, this is the worst. Too much had happened to realize that fact and turn back.
‘Is that possible?’
Those heading to China were confident of success, but Kang Woo-tae was skeptical. Choi Jun-ho is outspoken and rude, making him worse than a villain, but he is said to be the best in the world when it comes to his skills.
I had to defeat him to come back and whine, but it didn’t seem possible.
There is a higher chance of being overlooked in a foreign country.
Still, the hopeful thing is that there are countless forces that hate Choi Jun-ho, and the league’s lions whom he came into contact with in the process have expressed their intention to actively cooperate.
As for the League’s power to confront the world, there was some possibility.
“Im here.”
Their destination for exile was Gunsan. In order to secure an escape route, private land and safe houses purchased during the Awakened brainwashing incident were actively utilized.
As a result, the chase was not carried out until they reached Gunsan. Now all you have to do is escape this country on a ship provided by the Confederate Army.
I thought it was rolling smoothly like closely interlocked gears.
What they saw before their eyes were two empty boats.
The sea below was stained red with the blood of an unknown person.
“This is….”
And.
A handsome young man who was sitting comfortably on the dock stood up.
It is the face of a nightmare that you cannot forget even if you try to forget it.
“I’m tired of waiting.”
Choi Jun-ho was smiling brightly looking at them.
* * *
While waiting after arriving in Gunsan, I noticed several boats coming, perhaps to take away the fugitives. They deliberately waited for them to dock and attacked them as they disembarked to secure the route.
The language they were talking about was Chinese.
It’s not that I understand it, but it’s because it’s the language I heard the most while traveling around the Yellow Sea looking for gifts.
I wasn’t at all curious about what they were talking about, so I killed them all. I kept the ship because I thought it would be operable if I just erased the Chinese writing on the outside and wrote it in Korean.
After a long wait, the number of fugitives I encountered was about fifty.
This is an escort force that includes fugitives.
Without even asking about the well-being of the already familiar faces, they went straight to arresting them.
“It’s tricky.”
Cheon Myeong-guk asked me not to kill him as much as possible, but only to subdue him.
They say there is nothing they can do in an unavoidable situation, but isn’t that just asking for everyone to be saved?
Arrest those who resist rather than kill them.
This was the most difficult order for me.
But what can you do? For Cheon Myeong-guk’s performance, there is a need to package it well. When I become president later, I will have to harass him a bit. Thinking that I was holding back for that time, I set out to subdue it by breaking its limbs as much as possible so as not to kill it.
“Hee hee! monster!”
Quad deuk!
“Aaaah!”
I broke my leg to prevent me from running away and looked around. Although they numbered about fifty people, their level was not high, so there was no difficulty in subduing them.
In the past, I had to move diligently because the guys were running away, but by learning sniping, I was able to take them down smoothly from a distance.
Rather, it was more difficult to instinctively move from aiming at the head to the legs.
As expected, this kind of gift was a neat gift that did not cause any regrets. Obtaining this from Dokdo may be a great harvest.
“Hmm, let’s harvest.”
I put my hands into the chests of those who were moaning with their limbs twisted.
“Don’t move too vigorously. “My heart could explode.”
“Kwaaaak!”
Those who listened to my advice showed resistance and tried to remain as calm as possible. Yes, if you listen carefully, you can save your life.
But even though they came to do a good job, the harvest was poor. As expected, talented people have good gifts. For those who were not at a high level, the potential gifts were of little significance.
The most novel gift among them was limb separation. The limbs can be separated at will, so isn’t this suitable for a magic show?
Rocket punch, rocket kick, etc. seem possible, but it would look ugly.
I looked at the hearts of not only awakened people but also non-awakened people, and the results were not good. Maybe it was because I hadn’t trained, but the gift wasn’t visible at all.
There is only one person left.
“Oh don’t come!”
“Don’t rebel. “Then you die.”
“Better kill me! “I’d rather be your damn lab rat… boo!”
“It’s hard to pretend to be determined while your body struggles to survive.”
I forcibly pinned Kang Woo-tae’s body and put my hand into his heart. And while tasting the blood, I set out to search for gifts.
Since Kang Woo-tae was also a non-awakened person, there were no offensive gifts. However, there was a potential gift.
“sophistry?”
What is this? If you acquire the gift, will your speech improve?
Upon closer inspection, I found out that it was a gift that could cause abnormalities in the opponent’s condition through sophistry. How much bullshit do you have to say to create a gift like this? At least it seemed to be the most useful gift I looked at here.
But it didn’t seem that useful to me. What’s the point of being good at talking? Just destroy the head first and that’s it. What is stronger than the pen is the sword and the fist. Any master calligrapher becomes obedient in the face of death.
“huh?”
It was time to give up the gift and pour the healing agent into Kang Woo-tae’s chest.
At that time, an abnormal phenomenon occurred. Suddenly, he foamed at the mouth and started shaking. Then I became limp and it was a heart attack due to shock.
It doesn’t matter if I die, but Cheon Myeong-guk wants me to live on.
Then you have to live.
“I can’t help it.”
I threw a mine into Kang Woo-tae’s heart.
…!
Kang Woo-tae’s body fluttered as if he had been electrocuted. I didn’t care and threw mines into the heart several times. It would be a mistake to think that I acquired mines and did everything I could to kill people.
He knows how to save people like this.
Because the mines were so strong, most people died without being able to withstand a few hits.
[I’m asking out of curiosity, how many people have you saved through this method?]
“Um, one person?”
[How many times did I try it?]
“I tried it more than a hundred times.”
[So the probability of success is 1%!]
What do you think? It’s better to take even a 1% chance than to just die.
Is this because of my sincerity? Kang Woo-tae’s heart, which had been still as if dead, began to beat. However, smoke was coming out of the mouth, probably because of the mine.
Cheonmyeongguk’s mission has been completed.
“Because I kept it hidden.”
Today is the moment when I realize that killing is easier.
Nevertheless, it was a time when I felt satisfied that I had saved someone’s life.
“Lee League will not leave you alone….”
Words that could not be ignored came out of the mouth of Kang Woo-tae, who was not in his right mind.
“What?Tell me more.”
“….”
But Kang Woo-tae didn’t say anything more.
You can’t give up like this.
I put my hand on the guy’s head and used brain washing using Hyegwang Simeo.
Soon, information about the league began to flow from his mouth.
