Chapter 2139 – 2139. Eternal Eden
When I arrived at Seongak Elementary School, the situation had already ended.
The level of Seongak Elementary School is not easy enough to be attacked by looters even without me. The presence of a technologist increases the overall level of the force, and there is an Awakened Choi Hye-jin or an armed security team.
‘No matter how much effort I put into development, I’m afraid I’ll be beaten by looters.’
Looking at the entrance, it was clear that there had been a battle. It seems that the looters fought ignorantly, crashing into modified trucks.
I heard Taehyung Son’s report. Na Chae-young led the security team with combat drones, and Choi Hye-jin dealt with the Awoken. It is said that when Son Tae-hyung escaped through the back door and went around Seongak Elementary School to get behind the looter, the victory in the battle was already certain. As a result, Son Tae-hyeong blocked the retreat and the looters surrendered.
“The ones who surrendered?”
“I was put in a prison cell. Noh Woo-sik, an awakened person, was imprisoned in a special prison cell.”
He nodded.
The special prison cell is a place where it is not easy to escape even for an awakened person.
“Interrogate the loot.”
“I have already carried out the interrogation lightly. He immediately called for help. It was the Ilwu Group that sponsored and ordered the marauders.”
“You’re acting uncharacteristically.”
Scratching my head, I recalled the memories of the world I had been through. Especially the vampire detective world. There, the company did not openly support the gang even though it moved as a private soldier. Covertly as possible. Lest the name of the corporation spread to the gang. The only ones who know about corporate sponsorship are at most gang leaders and above.
By the way, did you know that looters are spawned by the Ilwu group right up to the end?
‘These bastards are just leaving.’
Right now in Korea, the media doesn’t work properly, so it doesn’t matter? No. These guys are confident.
“Have you taken a video? I want to see Choi Hye-jin’s battle. Bring it.”
“Yes. CEO.”
Soon Taehyung Son brought the tablet. Played the video.
Noh Woo-sik was an Awakener with the ability to turn his body into steel. It was quite impressive to see him move forward despite being hit by countless bullets. Until he was beaten by Choi Hye-jin and flew away.
‘I learned most of what you taught me. Power, speed and skill. They’re all overwhelming, so you can’t win.’
The opponent was also weak. If it’s a steelization ability, it’s a body strengthening system, but I can’t do anything but use my body ignorantly.
“I think I should meet Dr. Noh Woo-shik together. Kill the rest of the looters by executing them. Even if you let it live, it will only eat rice.”
Food was scarce now that the world had perished lightly. Prisoners were given fodder and food scraps, but even that was a precious time.
‘Even if I keep them alive, they won’t help at all. It’s better to deal with it as quickly as possible.’
“CEO. I will follow your word.”
“Okay.”
“CEO. I realized something through this battle. We need more bodyguards.”
“You have a security team. Take it yourself.”
“Not as a security team. They do not have the determination and loyalty to give their lives for the representative. Please give me the authority to choose the bodyguards.”
Do you want a greeting ticket?
I tried to use the SS as important. It is to entrust you with troublesome and dirty work. That’s why it’s important to have a heavy mouth and not betray.
“… What kind of guys are you trying to fill the SS with?”
“I will fill it with people who are similar to me and who need salvation. So please give them a miracle from the representative. They will arm themselves with faith, and with faith they will give everything.”
Son Taehyung is talking about fanatics.
It goes without saying how frightening yet effective fanaticism is. Even in distant countries right now, aren’t there people who slaughter people for the sake of faith or self-destruct without hesitation? Can I take care of such a unit at will? Very good.
“I’ll leave the guards up to you.”
“Thank you, CEO.”
• • •
I entered the special prison cell with Na Chae-young.
Noh Woo-sik was sitting restrained in a special chair.
“My, what are you trying to do to me?!”
Unlike his huge physique and ferocious face, his voice was full of fear.
Na Chae-young moved. She touched Noh Woo-sik’s shoulder. She couldn’t help but feel bad. In order to see the Awoken’s information, you must contact them.
Na Chae-young said the information.
「Entity Name: Noh Woo-shik
Potential: ★
Awakening Ability: Steelification.
Attribute: Atmospheric chronicity」
“Atmosphere? Is it good?”
“It’s weak in the beginning, but it has the effect of getting stronger as it goes on.”
“How strong are you?”
“Well. Because each individual is different. This person’s potential is one-of-a-kind, so he won’t become very strong. Various investments are also required to quickly blossom the atmospheric lateness characteristics. What are you going to do?”
Uncommon Awakener. If it had the ability to steel, it could also be used as a meat shield. I had thoughts of conciliating Noh Woo-sik now that there is not enough manpower available… When I checked the potential and characteristics, it didn’t seem useful. I don’t like that his face looks stupid too.
“Kill. Because of its ability to steel, I don’t think it’s meaningless to wear a bomb necklace.”
Besides, he’s from a looter.
Even if you crawl on me right now, when the opportunity arises, I will run like a moon.
If the power grows bigger and there are more managers, this kind of guy will be able to use it. But not now. It would be troublesome to imprison him until then.
“Okay.”
As if Na Chae-young expected my answer, she left the prison cell without regret. I approached him
“Are you going to kill me? This is Korea! Law! Let’s do it according to the law!”
“In Korea, a gun shooter is a fucking law.”
“Fuck! I didn’t want to raid this place! It’s a famous place in Korea, how could a guy like me attack this place? Ilwoo Group! It was all done because the Ilwoo group ordered it and had no choice!”
“Have you tried asking Ilwoo Group to save you?”
This guy is a loser. Even if this guy died, the Ilwu group would not bat an eye.
“I will give you a special electric massage so thank you.”
Jijijijijijik.
When the current went in, his body stiffened.
“… !!”
Nousik couldn’t lift a finger. It’s like his entire body is paralyzed. When I released my hand, a scream escaped from his mouth.
“Quaaaaagh!”
“It must feel like your whole body is being torn and burned.”
“Sir, fuck…”
Nousik used his ability. His whole body turned to grayish steel. As before, an electric current was passed through his body. Nousik laughed.
“My body is steel. No electricity like that anymore.”
“Doesn’t work? Then there is nothing you can do I will wait for you to return to normal.”
“…”
Even abilities have limits. Noh Woo-shik will not be able to maintain it for even 10 minutes, let alone an hour.
The prediction was right. 3 minutes. It was the maximum amount of time that Noh Woo-shik could maintain his ironization.
“Now, wait. All right, I’ll go under you. You can do anything you ask! Please save me!”
“Where did the momentum of talking nonsense go?”
“Okay, I was wrong! Please!”
“If you want to die quickly, answer my question. You attacked Seongak Elementary School after finding out I wasn’t there. How did you know I wasn’t there?”
“Sal, won’t you save me?”
“Do you think you will spare the bastard who tried to take mine?”
“…”
Grip support.
Blue sparks flew from his hand. Noh Woo-sik’s complexion turned black. He hurriedly spoke before my hand touched his body.
“This is Ilwoo Group! Ilwu Group informed me over the phone! Seongak Elementary School’s Zeus has left, so attack and occupy it right now!”
“What about Hyejin Choi? I don’t think he knew about Choi Hye-jin’s existence.”
“I never heard of such a crazy bitch! The Ilwu group tricked us! It’s all the fault of Ilwoo Group!”
Woo-shik Noh cursed at the Il-woo group and blamed all of them. A man with no loyalty whatsoever. What I said now would not be a lie.
“Stop dying.”
Grip support.
Noh Woo-sik was electrocuted and died. There is no reason to bring him back to life, so his corpse will be put into a decomposer and reborn as a resource.
I left the corpse behind and went outside, lost in thought.
‘There are less than 10 people at Seongak Elementary School who know that I’m leaving to meet the bladers.’
There is no need to inform the lower ones of my whereabouts. All of them were managers of the ruling class.
Na Chae-young is no different from me and a community of destiny, and Choi Hye-jin directly stepped forward and dealt with Noh Woo-shik. If Son Taehyung had betrayed me and joined the Ilwoo group, he couldn’t have planned such a clumsy method.
‘If the rest of the managers betrayed… There’s no way I don’t know about Choi Hye-jin.’
You didn’t hand over the information of Choi Hye-jin, the Awakened? Top-level information?
‘Aren’t you an insider spy? Then…’
Information was obtained from outside Seongak Elementary School. Then, a person came to mind. An organization that I knew going out of Seongak Elementary School.
‘The Ministry of Security and Public Security.’
I texted Lee Yeon-hee.
Depending on how Lee Yeon-hee comes out, the relationship with the National Security Agency will be established.
• • •
Lee Yeon-hee came to Sungak Elementary School an hour later and bowed her head.
“Eugene, I am really sorry. One of my subordinates handed over Yujin’s information to an Ilwoo Group executive. The information handed over was basic information, including Yujin’s ability, and information about the blader operation this time.”
“What happened to him?”
“I am alive and well. I didn’t touch it on purpose. I brought this as a gift.”
Lee Yeon-hee pointed back. A man was brought from the convoy with his hands and feet bound and his gag in his mouth.
“It turned out that I had been doing business with Ilwoo Group for half a year. In return for handing over Yujin’s information this time, they said they were promised an executive position at one of Busan’s small and medium-sized businesses.”
“I am a little disappointed. Can’t you properly manage one of your subordinates?”
“It’s my mistake, so I have nothing to say.”
Lee Yeon-hee spoke softly. However, her eyes as she looked at the bound man were cold.
“You’re not just apologizing, are you?”
He was willing to forgive her cleanly if he gave her a pussy.
“Of course not. I brought the information of Ilwoo Group here. Don’t you need it?”
“Hmm. I don’t need it.”
I received the documents Lee Yeon-hee was handing over.
“I came here while cleaning up the inside, so I’ll go back now.”
I could feel the life in Lee Yeon-hee’s voice. I don’t know, but it seemed like blood was blowing in the National Security Agency.
