The crazy villain regains his mind - Episode 137
137fury
“…….”
Lee Ryong-hwa trembled. I don't know how this happened.
I just wanted to live. So he swore allegiance to Choi Jun-ho, who occupied Pyongyang, and barked like a dog if he wanted to bark and pretended to be dead if he wanted to die..
But what came back was that they would be punished according to the law..
Then what is your loyalty?.
He said he would accept punishment, but the reason he cooperated was to avoid all of this..
“I can't die like this.”
Lee Ryong-hwa left Pyongyang to live. She then met Wang Min, a Chinese superman, from where she ran away and crashed herself..
He succeeded Zhang Zedong as the person in charge of the Northeast region and promised Li Longhua that he would be of great use if he converted..
If you completely believed that, it's a lie..
But it was also true that Lee Ryong-hwa had no choice..
So, I was prepared to change my words to some extent..
Words changed more than I thought.
From the beginning, Wang Min had no intention of putting himself in moderation. Rather, he planned to occupy North Korean territory by using himself and the remnants of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea as expendables..
I ran away to avoid confronting Choi Jun-ho..
For Lee Ryong-hwa, the news was like a lightning bolt..
“We will occupy Hamheung starting from Mt. Baekdu..”
Their plan was to occupy the entire Yanggang Province, North Hamgyong Province, and South Hamgyong Province to secure the East Sea and gain a route into the Pacific Ocean..
As for Lee Ryong-hwa, it doesn't matter what they do or what they do..
Because we already knew about China’s territorial ambitions..
If only they hadn't put themselves forward..
Lee Ryong-hwa persuaded Wang Min with a glimmer of hope..
“Choi Jun-ho will not be watching obediently. It is dangerous to cause a conflict like this..”
“Do you think so??”
“yes!”
“Inside the party, we believe he will not come..”
“This is a guy that will come and go. Chung Ju-ho and Choi Jun-ho, who occupy Pyongyang, have a special relationship. If Jung Joo-ho calls Choi Jun-ho,…….”
I got goosebumps just imagining it..
I know it well because I saw it from the side..
Choi Jun-ho is an unpredictable monster. Rather, Ryu Gwang-cheol was the embodiment of power, but Choi Jun-ho was indifferent even in the face of eye-popping wealth and power..
I still remember the scene of carnage that unfolded inside the Presidential Palace..
Even if Wang Min is a superhuman, Choi Jun-ho is on a different level..
All I could think of was a situation where everyone would die like this..
“stop.”
Did those words offend me?.
Wang Min’s expression became distorted..
“Are you trying to teach me now??”
“Well, that's not it.”
“Then follow my will. They are having a difficult time just coping with Pyongyang. If not now, then when will the opportunity come??”
“…….”
“You should know that your value depends on how much territory we secure..”
“…yes.”
“If the party makes a decision, you will obediently follow it, but don't say anything. This is why the small peninsula countries.”
What he muttered with a disapproving expression was an insult with a derogatory meaning..
“…….”
Although it was insulting, Lee Ryong-hwa was unable to refute it and returned to his lodgings with his head down..
“Choi Jun-ho would definitely come here..”
Wang Min protested so strongly that he could not say more, but his anxiety grew..
The wisdom of becoming the head of the National Security Agency is not going anywhere..
He had already provoked the forces within New Pyongyang to revolt due to Wang Min and failed. Wang Min planned to catch Korea's attention with that, but he would probably try to figure out the cause and deal with it if it was Jung Joo-ho, whom he saw briefly..
If Jung Joo-ho focuses on Pyongyang's Mercury, the person who will come here will be a superhuman, and it is highly likely that it will be Choi Jun-ho. And Choi Jun-ho's personality is such that if he comes here, he will definitely die..
need to run away.
but how?
There were Chinese awakeners everywhere, and the Korean-Chinese awakeners who followed were also competitors and monitors rather than comrades. There was nowhere to run away from them..
Both the sea and the sky belong to monsters..
“I can only hope it doesn't come.”
Lee Ryong-hwa looked around..
The temporarily installed accommodations were luxurious, befitting the treatment given to those who had converted. However, to him, this place was no better than a concentration camp where reactionaries who rebelled against Ryu Kwang-cheol and were purged were imprisoned..
He sighed, thinking that all he could do was pray that Choi Jun-ho didn't come..
* * *
I was honestly impressed..
I thought Yongyong was just a talking monster full of useless tricks, but for today, I had no choice but to recognize him as a divine beast..
“Your skills are no joke?”
[Ahem! You have finally recognized the power of this great blue dragon. Well, it's rather strange that I didn't notice this greatness until now! I can praise you more.]
Yongyong’s nose rises to the sky at my praise..
I thought this guy's only ability was to repel, but he was also capable of moving long distances..
The distance is a whopping 50km.
It was a groundbreaking distance movement among all the spatial movements I've seen so far..
[I'm an alter ego, so this is all I can do, but if it were my real self, I could go straight to Mt. Baekdu.!]
After all, a talking monster. No, it was a divine beast. What a gift like this.
Is this a gift that Yongyong has? Then there must be a gift in his heart, right? No, it's a blue dragon, so I guess it's Naedan? Still, it's a living thing, so there's blood.?
Should I ask you to touch my heart for a moment? If you're a Shinsu, I don't think there will be any major problems even if you massage his heart a little..
I realized I had the goose that laid the golden egg..
If you leave it alone, it will continue to lay golden eggs..
Why do I keep wanting to cut my stomach open?.
hmm!
You have to endure it. It wouldn't be good for Yongyong, who can read the inner thoughts, to find out. However, the plan to split the golden egg floating in my mind left a deep afterimage..
I diligently moved to a hideout to shake off my thoughts..
There is someone who saw me in Pyongyang, so if there is a spy, news will reach them quickly..
Since we had to wipe them out all at once, we planned to launch a surprise attack before they were fully prepared..
by the way.
[You can respect me as much as you want!]
Once Yongyong's arrogance got high, there was no stopping his boastful attitude..
If you get the gift, you can use it however you want, but if you keep it next to you, you will have to listen to that condescending brat all the time..
Just cut the boat open.?
[huh?]
It was at that time that Yongyong, who was completely intoxicated, started shaking..
You noticed, you monster-like guy..
[you just thought it was strange?]
“no.”
[Don't lie! I just felt alive!]
Even if you think about it as carefully as possible, is it something you can detect? I thought mind reading would be good at this level..
No, then the number of people to kill may increase too much..
Still, you should be able to think freely..
But it also seems like a good way to catch a guy who thinks differently..
I just got out of the way.
“no. I had a dirty thought.”
[Now you want me to believe that? You don't know anything dirty.]
“I don't know.”
[You're funny, I refused to even prepare a meal for you..]
Who taught Yongyong this way of speaking??
“Okay, stop nitpicking..”
[Wow, you evil human. As a wise divine beast, I am giving you advice, but you should not lie. It's all obvious.]
“…….”
This guy, Yongyong’s sharpness has improved considerably..
I guess this is called socialization..
The direction I was heading towards, as I fought and marched like that, was not the hideout, but the direction of Mt. Baekdu..
It is the home of the blue dragon..
[uh? why do you go there?]
“hey.”
[huh?]
I was feeling puzzled from the beginning..
The remnants of Ryu Gwang-cheol, including Lee Ryong-hwa, went to China and established a hideout near Baekdu Mountain..
There is no way China does not know that Ryu Kwang-cheol knows and the United States knows as well..
And Baekdu Mountain is the territory of the blue dragon..
That meant that Yongyong also knew about the hideout built near Baekdu Mountain..
What does this mean? It means that there was Yongyong’s connivance..
“What did you do with them??”
[…….]
“Don't you answer??”
[Now, wait a minute..]
I ignored Yongyong’s words and started heading towards Mt. Baekdu..
The guy who hesitated for a while clung to me as if he had made a decision..
[Okay, I'll tell you! So please stop!]
“say.”
[therefore…….]
This is what Yongyong said:.
Long before I came to Pyongyang, China also came to visit Blue Dragon..
They promised to acknowledge the existence of the blue dragon and give Mt. Baekdu over to the blue dragon's territory. Instead, he asked us to establish a base near Mt. Baekdu..
It was similar to entrusting the defense line against monsters to Thunderbird in the United States. There must be an information network in China as well, so they must have noticed that monsters don't appear near the Divine Beast's territory..
It is said that the place I am going to visit is not a place that was created recently, but a base that has existed since Ryu Gwang-cheol was alive..
You didn't deceive me and straddle me..
But the shameful thing remains the same..
“why didn't you tell me?”
[It was a promise that meant nothing to me..]
“Are you saying it was insensitive?.”
[that's right.]
“believe me?”
[Trust me, it's real.]
“…….”
I looked at Yongyong for a moment, who nodded eagerly..
I can't read minds like him, but I can tell whether someone is telling the truth or a lie..
Looks like there's nothing more to hide.
I was wondering if I could get something out of this, but decided to hold on for a while. You're blaming yourself for fooling me, so sooner or later you'll get a chance..
“Then it doesn't matter if I fly over there.?”
[doesn't exist. Those people probably had no intention of keeping their promise anyway. I was just trying to show Ryu Kwang-cheol that there is an alternative..]
You're pretty smart..
I think the alternative is me..
“Tell me in advance.”
[okay.]
There was no need to push me any further, so I got a confirmation and headed to the hideout..
It's definitely not that far from Baekdu Mountain..
If I wasn't sure that Yongyong wouldn't attack, I wouldn't stay in a place like this..
Considering that the facility is quite old, Yongyong was not wrong..
“The number is quite large.?”
[I know. The numbers are different from what you told me.!]
“Do you believe in humans??”
Just like the innocent Yongyong.
I don't trust humans either, but this guy named Shinsu does..
[I'm thinking of killing them all?]
“Are you against it??”
[No, it seems too much for you to kill alone..]
“Then you can help too.”
[okay. There are so many things I really wish for. They're all saying it's for their own good. Of course, I will also get a little better. Still, I pamper myself too much, chitchat..]
I ignored Yongyong’s babbling and looked around..
Is it the effect of forced march?.
It seemed like he had no idea I was coming. If I had known, I wouldn't have set my guard so loosely. The word was a boundary, but it was more like a system that monitored the people inside..
It seemed to indicate that the guys over there were not tightly united and were a loose coalition system..
It wasn't difficult to get inside. The number of people staying at the hideout was about 200..
About 30 of them seemed familiar. These are the awakened people of the National Security Agency, including Lee Ryong-hwa..
I ran away at best, but now I'm being watched here. Since there was nowhere to go and the number was small, this kind of treatment was expected..
I sneaked straight into the dorm..
Lee Ryong-hwa, who was lying in bed, sensed someone's presence and stood up, making eye contact with me..
“Sit down, let's talk..”
* * *
“…….”
The moment Lee Ryong-hwa saw Choi Jun-ho, his heart sank..
The uneasy premonition was not wrong..
Wang Min, you bastard, they said no one would be able to break in, but Choi Jun-ho was coming in and out of this place like it was his own home..
Although he tried to act calm, Lee Ryong-hwa's body was shaking as if he had met the Grim Reaper..
“You seem to be eating well and doing well..”
“Please save me.”
“Don't kill me. Who killed it? If they wanted to kill me, they would have smashed the head right away..”
Those words were scarier.
“I have a few questions.”
“Yes, please tell me. I'll tell you the truth.”
“I feel the will to live. very good.”
Looking at Choi Jun-ho's smile, Lee Ryong-hwa swallowed his dry saliva again and again..
But questions remained in my mind. Will he really save me??
“If you say it right, it won't kill you. You also have to think about the woman and child you have hidden away.?”
Lee Ryong-hwa was astonished..
“Well, how do you do that??”
It was a secret that was kept completely hidden even when he was the head of the National Security Agency..
It was a fact that was not revealed to anyone, but how could Choi Jun-ho know it??
“I know everything.”
There are no secrets in front of Choi Jun-ho..
Lee Ryong-hwa swore to tell everything honestly..
“Tell me what the Chinese guys are planning.”
“Oh, I see..”
He revealed that Wang Min, a new superman, had been dispatched to replace Zhang Zedong as the person in charge, and that he had plans to occupy Yanggang Province, North Hamgyong Province, and South Hamgyong Province connecting Baekdu Mountain and Hamheung..
Even if the subject who makes the decision is not the king, but the top of the Communist Party..
Lee Ryong-hwa knelt down and hit his head on the floor, even confessing that he had planned to create internal chaos to prevent Pyongyang from paying attention..
“Wrong. please save me.”
“This is it? It's a bit lacking.”
“Well, there was that too. Wang Min said that soon enough power would be gathered to hunt the blue dragon of Mt. Baekdu, and that the power would be increased a total of five times..”
That number alone was a thousand people..
To be honest, Lee Ryong-hwa’s hunting plan was also negative..
It was not another monster, but a being called a divine beast..
Do you think you can hunt just because you have enough people?.
But I didn't know the details..
I was just wondering if I could survive if I revealed even one more piece of information, so I squeezed out every last bit of information and told it to Choi Jun-ho..
“This is all I know. Please save me.”
“That's right.”
Choi Jun-ho, lost in thought, did not show any significant action..
The silence filled me with anxiety, but it also brought hope..
“The obsession with life was real when I was in Pyongyang. He knew how to control his greed in order to live..”
Can I buy it?.
When hope for life began to emerge little by little, Choi Jun-ho's hand covered his head..
What on earth did you do??
“Uh, uhh?”
I was pinned down and tried to say something, but no sound came out..
“don't worry. I'm just checking to see if what you said is true..”
In what way?
“From now on, you will be able to forget about your worries and live comfortably. Where is this in this day and age?.”
With that, the severance of memory.
Lee Ryong-hwa's consciousness never returned..
