Chapter 849 – 849. Hero Academy (6)
As soon as I opened my eyes, I could hear dirty firecrackers piercing my ears.
“Kuhhhhh!”
“… “
… The snoring is so damn bad.
But… It would be more strange not to snore with that body type…
The owner of the snoring sound was Jin Ho-yeon.
I had just entered Jin Ho-yeon’s dream and was digging up information.
I looked at Viola’s gaze, who came to her senses and gave her a lap pillow even though she was suffering from ear terror.
‘I’m sorry, Viola. Does your knee hurt?’
[Huh, it didn’t hurt at all. But Suho…]
Viola looked at Jin Ho-yeon with a grim expression that she did not normally make at all.
“Kuhhhhh!”
[I… Is that person okay? I don’t think I sleep with a lot of noise…]
Haha… It’s just snoring.’
[What is snoring… ?]
‘…’
I didn’t know you didn’t know what snoring was.
But… Viola has been alone all her life, and the ship family around her doesn’t snore…
And on the other hand, I was relieved to hear Viola’s words.
‘I guess I don’t snore either.’
[Yes?]
‘Nothing. I’ll explain as I go.’
While explaining to Viola about her snoring, I left Jin Ho-yeon’s mansion.
Viola was shocked that there was such a thing as snoring.
[That… There is such a thing. I-I don’t think I make that noise!?]
Viola began to fidget with a look of dismay she had never shown before.
I told the truth and reassured Viola.
Haha, of course not.’
[Whew…]
‘And you don’t have to worry about snoring. I think Viola is cute even when she snores?’
[Poem, no! I hate to show like that. Hee hee…]
‘…’
Viola was so genuinely shocked that she even cried.
I had no choice but to break a sweat again to reassure the crying Viola.
After barely calming herself down, she spoke to Viola.
‘I’m resting for now.’
[Yes…]
Judging by Viola’s condition, it was unlikely that the shock of her snoring would end in a day or two.
After calming down Viola like that, I started talking to Armonia.
[Did you find out anything?]
‘Yeah, I found out a lot of information.’
[… ?]
I made a fortune on the first information that came to mind for Armonia, who was curious.
‘The biggest goal is to neutralize the Tower and other large guilds.’
The tower and other large guilds are also checking each other, just like the church.
However, even with such checks, there were limitations in the end.
Just like the tower can’t take in all the wizards, and the large guilds can’t take in all the consulate cadets…
They kept each other in check, but on the other hand, they were maintaining a mutually beneficial relationship.
But the Church…
‘The goal was to completely neutralize it. It’s not a mutual benefit, it seems like they’re trying to completely subjugate under the church.’
Monster creatures, mana disturbance cubic, and theft of VR capsules…
The first thing the Church was aiming for was the Tower and the 3 major guilds.
[Surely… Monster creatures are immune to magic and physical attacks, and are only neutralized by healing abilities. And the Mana Disruption Cubic incapacitates the wizard itself… But the capsule… ?]
‘That’s a bit vague…’
Even Jin Ho-yeon did not know why the capsule was stolen.
‘Probably with Patriarch Shin Seok-gwon and… It seemed that only Cho Kang-hyeon knew the reason.’
Cho Kang-hyeon did not have a rank within the church, but even the archbishop, Jin Ho-yeon, bowed down.
‘In other words, Cho Kang-hyeon is on the same level as Shin Seok-kwon or… There’s a good chance it’s on top of it.’
[The position of Shin Seok-kwon, who has already risen to the top…]
I came to the conclusion that if I wanted to find out more information, I had no choice but to search inside Shin Seok-kwon’s own head.
But Shin Seok-kwon…
‘They said he would never come out of the church.’
Shin Seok-kwon was a person who made a living inside the church and did not show his face outside unless it was a really important position.
[Then, do you intend to use Jin Ho-yeon to infiltrate the interior?]
Currently, Jin Ho-yeon had 100% of my hypnosis gauge.
If you use him now, it will be possible to infiltrate the church to some extent.
But I…
‘No, I’ll have to put that aside for a while.’
[Why?]
‘At this rate, the tower and the top 3 guilds could explode first.’
What I saw in Jin Ho-yeon’s dream was not just a simple ruse.
‘I’m going to move in earnest when the consulate vacation begins.’
The church had already made a plan to some extent, and was planning to execute it at the same time as the consulate vacation.
The problem was that the consulate’s vacation was just around the corner.
If I had known this as soon as I entered the consulate, I would have ignored it.
But now…
‘Yeriel is also a problem, but Seong Soo-ah and Cho Seo-hyeon could suffer great damage if they do something wrong.’
It was a situation that I couldn’t just pass by because I had already built up a lot of people.
‘And it’s not like I’m going to blindly put off church work.’
[Then… ?]
‘I have to follow the dreams of the 4 archbishops of the church and prepare as much as possible while hypnotizing them.’
Unlike Patriarch Shin Seok-kwon, it was known that the 4th Archbishops occasionally go out like this.
After confirming the time of their departure and where they live, I intended to get information from them.
In other words, the priority was to pay attention to the church’s plans and put off the internal side for a while.
‘It’s much safer to hypnotize all four archbishops than to hypnotize Jin Ho-yeon alone anyway. And if you turn the outside side over, the inside will flip over on its own.’
[I agree.]
‘Good. Then let’s go.’
[Where is your destination?]
I replied by telecommunication, carrying the viola that was resting next to me.
‘Organizations managed by Jin Ho-yeon… I’ll have to look through them all.’
..
..
A total of six organizations were managed by Jin Ho-yeon.
And one of them was the organization that terrorized the headquarters of Evryca called ‘The Viper Underground’.
And there was an unexpected fact, the fact that the ‘underground poisonous snake’ was an organization that produced excellent results, even in the church.
‘But… I’m sure they’re not normal enough to terrorize Erica’s headquarters.’
However, despite the excellent skills recognized by the church, the ‘Underground Viper’ is currently…
‘All of the gang members suddenly disappeared.’
[I think he ran away because he knew he would be abandoned.]
‘It’s not impossible… What’s funny is that the church isn’t a place where you just make a mistake and dispose of it.’
On the side of the church, the Venomous Snake of the Underground only made one big mistake, but it seemed that he was going to take on another mission after punishing him accordingly.
However, the venomous snake in the basement had completely disappeared after the Evryca terror incident.
As if it never existed…
‘In addition, the shelter disappeared without leaving a trace after it was completely erased…’
[Would you like to find ‘The Viper Underground’?]
‘They’re the ones I’m most curious about, but I’m going to put them on a lower priority right now.’
The ‘Subterranean Serpent’ must have had quite a bit of information, but it wasn’t that easy to find an organization that had already disappeared.
‘Jin Ho-yeon is already using another organization to find them.’
[Then…]
‘If I pry behind the other guys, I’ll be able to meet the ‘subterranean viper’ on my own.’
He was in a situation where he had to dig up information about all organizations related to Jin Ho-yeon anyway.
The “Subterranean vipers” Will come out on their own if they pry behind other organizations.
I was able to reach the hiding place of the first target while thinking so.
I furrowed my brow and put on my perception-disabling cape.
‘Why are you staying in a place like this?’
Then I asked, looking at Viola wearing the Cognitive Impairment Cloak next to me.
‘Viola, if you don’t want to go in, would you like to go back?’
[No! It’s a strange building, so I’d rather go in.]
Haha…’
The place where Viola and I arrived was an abandoned building.
The organizations controlled by Jin Ho-yeon all had abandoned buildings on the outskirts of the city as their bases.
There were many abandoned abandoned buildings like this on the outskirts of the city, so there was little risk of their location being discovered, and even if they were discovered, they seemed to think that they could explode the building itself and erase the evidence.
‘It seems that the poisonous snakes in the underground disappeared like that.’
[There will be a trap inside. Be careful.]
‘Huh.’
I listened to Armonia’s warning and sneaked into the building with Viola.
Looking around the inside of the building carefully, I nodded.
‘The inside of the building is a den of garbage, but basic security is in place.’
Inside the building, devices such as CCTV were installed to detect intruders.
However, there were no devices that required permission to pass in the middle like the church.
It’s not a place where people are screened in the first place, so it’s natural, but…
‘Now, let’s go in.’
Viola and I walked into the building as if we were taking a walk, ignoring the red light from the CCTV.
While going up to the 5th floor, I couldn’t find anyone at all.
But the moment I reached the 6th floor…
“They disappeared again!?”
Along with the orange light, I could hear human voices.
Hiding behind a pile of garbage with Viola, I began eavesdropping on the conversation.
The owner of the first lamentation voice was a middle-aged man.
“Are you dead!?”
“Even we don’t know.”
“Does it make sense not to fucking know!? You must have been in touch!”
As soon as I heard the man’s swear words, I covered Viola’s ears.
Viola asked me over her comm, her eyes wide open.
[Suho, why are you like this?]
‘I blocked it because it’s a story that doesn’t sound good.’
[No way…]
The viola let out her voice in a grudging tone, but did not shake my hand.
I kept eavesdropping on their conversation.
“That, that… The last contact obviously had no indications. But for two days, there was no contact suddenly…”
“Ha… Poisonous snakes in the basement… Could it be that you noticed and jumped ahead?”
Listening to the conversation, I was able to roughly guess the situation.
‘Looks like he’s rather dying while chasing after me.’
Looking at this situation, it seemed that the ‘subterranean snakes’ weren’t usually great guys.
It’s not enough that he completely disappeared, so he’s perfectly taking care of the guys he’s chasing…
The middle-aged man listening to the report squeezed his hair several times, then opened his mouth with a snort full of dust.
“The number of people cannot be reduced any more! Big things coming soon! From now on, all three of us… No, the four of us go around as a team!”
“Ah, I see.”
Members of the organization, mainly middle-aged men, gathered and exchanged conversations.
There was some information I wanted in what they exchanged, but there was quite a bit of information I didn’t want.
But the biggest piece of information they gave me was…

Guhyun Oh

=====
Profound

…
…
It was the temperament window they had.
‘Good. Today, let’s go around organizations related to Jin Ho-yeon and open all the temperament windows.’
In my mind, I wanted to explode this building right now and kill everyone.
Right now, with my skills, I could be confident that I could defeat them all with a surprise attack.
But I…
‘If you don’t take care of them all at once, it’ll be rather annoying. Let’s be patient.’
I decided to put up with it because I knew that if I treated it as annoying now, it would become more annoying later.
I opened the temperament window of the guys inside the building like that.
And that’s how I open the temperament window…
‘Wait until vacation. I’ll solve it all at once.’

They began to accumulate catalysts that would later explode all at once.
