Chapter 509 – Chapter 509 Mind, Body, and Soul
A monotonous female voice carrying election news on a huge 100-inch TV began to scan the living room carefully.
In the 〈XX area, as a result of a preliminary poll, candidate Gu Jun-byeong is expected to win with 65% of the vote. Next area….〉
It took less than 10 seconds at most.
However, the news that lasted less than 10 seconds made the rescuer’s mouth tremble.
“Kuhhh… Great. Came this far It will be over in two weeks from now.”
His gaze moved away from the TV, and he began to turn to the laptop on the table where he was sitting.
He continued to press the F5 hotkey to keep track of his turnout.
When the 0.1% rose, the corners of the mouth twitched again, and when the 0.1% fell again, bright red wrinkles were revealed on the forehead.
“Ha, I know I’m going to win anyway, but I can’t stop.”
As a result of the opinion poll, Gu Jun-byeong’s expected vote rate was 65%, and even the second-place candidate barely exceeded 30%.
A landslide victory was expected, but….
“Fuck… Did you go down again? Ah… Went uphehe….”
Gu Jun-byeong was so flustered that even schizophrenic patients distanced themselves from him.
After pressing F5 so many times, he sighed softly and grumbled in a voice filled with extreme annoyance.
“Fuck, I have to do that again tomorrow. Let’s be patient. Once the voting is over, the campaigning campaign that I was fed up with is over.”
He shook his head and pressed F5 again.
“You have to bow down to such idiots to gain power… The world is so sick.”
Gu Jun-byeong was originally such a person.
He was a man who did not even feel gratitude to those who looked up to him.
However, if he was worth using, he was also a human who could shake people’s hearts with a false smile.
But even that eventually had its limits.
“Someday I will change… I will change all of these stupid systems when I go up.”
He started hitting F5 again, revealing his aspirations toward the harm of mankind.
It was a moment when I worked so hard to do meaningless things.
Tidik.
On the laptop, a DOS window popped up with a beep sound and a message was displayed.
{J: How are you?}
Gu Jun-byeong blinked at the monitor with embarrassed eyes while watching Dos-chang’s message.
‘What!? J? This bastard hasn’t been contacted for a while, what’s up all of a sudden!’
The being named J, whom he looked at with a surprised expression, was an unidentified helper.
In the past, he was suddenly helpful by hacking into his computer and sending him messages.
Gu Jun-byeong, who used to be a minor fraud, was able to create an association and even get a chance to become involved in politics thanks to J.
However, seeing J’s message, Gu Jun-byung’s expression was not so good.
‘I felt comfortable because this bastard was quiet… What else is going on?’
He was the one who made it possible for him to succeed, but he didn’t believe he was pure in the first place.
However, a lot of the information J told me was true, and even he knew not only information about success.
‘Fuck, how the hell do you know all about my fraudulent activities?’
J knew all the criminal acts he committed as an adult, even in elementary school.
And….
‘If it’s enough to destroy government records…’ I can’t even get a sense of how much of a good guy he is.’
He was also the person who erased all of his criminal activities.
‘Let’s calm down for now. It could be that he just called to have a conversation.’
Byung Koo shook his head, put his fingers on his keyboard, and began typing dazzlingly.
{Goo: It’s been a while. What’s up?}
{J: What happened….}
Gu Jun-byeong swallowed his saliva at J’s timid message, and his next message was enough to make his brain go blank for a moment.
{J: Did I tell you to keep quiet for a while?}
{Goo: What are you talking about? I was quiet.}
{J: If you said that you were polite when you were hanging out with a girl, then I must have misunderstood you?}
‘What the fuck! How on earth do you know that!?’
He started to have a tantrum.
It was true that a woman who came in as a campaign assistant during the election period liked her and approached her.
But all he did with her was secretly drinking in the office together and leading a strange atmosphere.
At least until he was elected, he intended to lead the atmosphere moderately.
‘Fuck, I was eager to eat after winning the election.’
As I was piling up my regrets inside, the message was printed again.
{J: Keep that in mind. Being elected is not the end. Rather, it is a time to be careful. If it continues to leak like this, we can’t help.}
In the screen, J used the expression “Help,” But Gu Jun-byeong knew.
‘It’s obvious what this bastard would do if the help he said was gone….’
It was Gu Jun-byeong who dreamed of one day uncovering Jeo J’s identity and grabbing his neck, but he was already realizing that he would have to keep his head down for now.
He looked at the screen with a calm expression and started typing a message.
{Goo: I’m sorry. Be careful next time….}
But before Gu Jun-byeong had finished typing the message, the doorbell suddenly started ringing.
Ding-dong!
“What? This time?”
He released his hands from his keyboard and carefully checked the video phone screen to see if anyone had pressed the doorbell.
However….
‘What? There’s no one What’s wrong….’
It was the moment when Gu Jun-byeong was about to turn off his nerves and head back to the table.
“Ah… Nope.”
He murmured as he involuntarily approached the door.
“Wow, check… I have to try.”
So he opened the front door wide and began to check outside.
However, after opening it like that, in the eyes of Gu Jun-byeong….
“What… There is no one.”
No matter how much Gu Jun-byeong looked around, he couldn’t catch any dolls in his field of vision.
Gu Jun-byeong, who had tilted his head like that, began to go back into the house grumbling.
“Ayyyyy… I was feeling good until now, but I am annoyed.”
And so he slammed the door shut and entered the house.
***
Lee Min-soo, who was next to me, put on an absurd expression as he saw Gu Jun-byeong looking around outside the door with an absurd expression.
(What is it? Did it really come out? There’s no way it would come out like that…)
At first, Lee Min-soo scolded me for being too irresponsible as soon as I rang the doorbell.
I’ve been saying that it doesn’t make sense that a person inside would come out just because I pressed a doorbell.
However, thanks to Gu Jun-byeong, who came out so easily, he was able to break Lee Min-soo’s logic.
(That’s right… Why is the cautious guy doing that?)
“….”
I did not answer Lee Min-soo’s questions separately, but just watched Gu Jun-byeong’s actions together.
=====
Hypnosis Gauge: 25%
=====
Originally, I didn’t press the doorbell, I just tried to come out, but it failed because of the gauge consumption.
‘There might be a situation where I’ll use it inside again, so let’s be as careful as possible.’
Viola and I cautiously entered his house while the ambulance came out the door.
After sneaking in under cover, the rescuer began to look around before reentering the house.
The most notable thing….
〈 So, I’ll show you a map based on the preliminary polls.〉
It was the announcer’s voice coming from the big TV.
‘Well, if it’s natural, then it’s natural.’
I immediately turned my attention away from the TV and looked at the next thing that stood out.
‘Laptop… What? Who are you talking to?’
On the screen, I was talking to a guy named J.
However, looking at the contents of the conversation, it did not seem like a normal conversation.
(What is it? Sending and receiving messages through a DOS window like this? Something strange.)
“….”
Even the content of the conversation was unusual.
‘Armonia, keep the video for now.’
[All right.]
If it was Armonia, I would have remembered everything without me having to tell you, but I told you in advance just in case.
That was the moment.
Beep.
“… ?”
(What is it? The window is blacked out. It seems that the conversation was not from this side, but from the other side remotely.)
As Lee Min-soo said, the message window on the laptop disappeared naturally.
And his subsequent words started to amplify my doubts even more.
(It’s very strange. No matter how good-looking Gu Jun-byeong is, it’s not common for him to act like that.)
“….”
Originally, my plan was to put the old man to bed, and rummage through his computer and his house.
I thought I might find some good information.
But I had to change my mind right now.
‘I can’t hide it. Something’s wrong.’
Gu Jun-byeong certainly did not commit the stupid thing of installing CCTV in his house.
But what if someone other than you installed it? Unknowingly too?
[This is a wise idea.]
[Suho, then will I continue to use this?]
The voices of Armonia and Viola came through the communication.
I looked at Viola right next to me and nodded her head quietly.
‘Yeah, please do that.’
[Yes!]
That was the moment when we exchanged conversations by telecommunication.
“What. I’m sure no one was kidding… Could it be that the intercom is broken?”
Gu Jun-byung muttered to himself and sat down at his table again, looking at his laptop.
And the expected reaction began to emerge.
“What? Could it be that you came to talk about that? Ha… Did you turn the inside of a person properly and just leave?”
Koo Jun-byeong continued to tap his laptop while sitting at the table, and began to raise his annoyance with his voice.
“Ha, I’m in a good mood. Let’s go to sleep I have to run around like crazy tomorrow too.”
After saying that, Gu Jun-byeong closed the laptop, turned off the TV, and started heading to the bedroom.
‘Great. It’s nice that I don’t have to be bothered to sleep.’
I thought so and looked at Lee Min-soo.
(….)
Ghost… No, he was wearing the face of a demon.
I’ve been seeing Lee Min-soo for over a week now, but it was the first time he made this kind of expression.
Every time he said the name of Gu Jun-byeong, he expressed anger, but now his expression was filled with red hatred filled with murder.
I shook my head while carefully beckoning to Lee Min-soo.
Lee Min-soo, who saw my gestures….
(…Okay. I know it doesn’t work now.)
Revenge is enough later.
I quietly motioned to Lee Min-soo and instructed him to search Gu Jun-byeong’s house.
(Okay… I’ll do my best to find it.)
The hatred from earlier turned into firewood to ignite his vengeance, and he began to wander about with enthusiasm.
While Lee Min-soo wandered around in a spirited state, Gu Jun-byeong was lying on the bed and trying to sleep.
‘I’ll just have to sleep on the living room floor.’
There’s no need to go into the bedroom with a man who goes to sleep.
[Suho! Get on my knees and lie down.]
Haha, thank you.’
With Viola’s care, I slowly began to fall asleep.
..
..
The information I found out in Gu Jun-byeong’s dream was more amazing than I thought.
‘What is he doing?’
The great information I found didn’t mean that I was an old man.
‘That guy named J… I don’t think he’s really a normal guy.’
Even though Goo Jun-byeong was so swayed by a guy named J, he was unable to grasp a single clue about his identity.
Even the approach was out of the ordinary.
Starting with the case of forcibly contacting him on his laptop earlier, he also sent a message to the TV he was watching.
He even warned the old soldier with a billboard he was looking at if he did anything nonsense.
‘Gu Jun-byeong also looked for a guy named J, but failed in the end.’
If he had such an absurd level of monitoring ability, it would be safe to say that the guy named J was already in perfect control of the Gujunbyeong.
But the strange thing is….
‘Even if Koo Jun-byeong thrusts a blade at him, he’ll go over it if he can.’
This case was one of two things.
Gu Jun-byeong is such an important person, or….
‘He is confident that he will be able to hide perfectly or….’
For some reason, I started to feel more inclined towards the latter.
‘… I tried to find out about the association, but I found out about a more dangerous guy.’
In a sense, he’s dangerous enough to be incomparable to the Rescue Troopers or the Association….
I thought deeply as I organized my dream and prepared to leave.
‘Should I be honest with him?’
Originally, the initial purpose was the memory of Lee Min-soo that Jun-byung Gu had.
It was because I tried to decide the approach to him according to how Gu Jun-byung remembered Lee Min-soo.
However….
‘I can’t remember a single thing. Even in my dreams….’
Gu Jun-byeong was not a person who left behind the guys he used and abandoned in his head.
It wasn’t even a forgotten level, it was just a deleted level.
‘Let’s go around for a while. If I said I couldn’t remember at all, that wouldn’t be good for my mentality.’
I thought so and came out of my dream.
It was the moment when I opened my eyes through such a bright light.
As my vision gradually came into focus, the voice of a woman I had never heard before made my body stiffen.
(Tell me what you were doing here.)
The fox spirit I saw before… She was looking at me at a distance.
