My alter ego is becoming a big shot - Episode 169
#169
Kyushu Crisis (1)
A bleak modern city entirely covered with concrete and cement..
Shootaaa— rumble.!
Thunder and lightning roared through the pouring rain in the dark night sky..
Due to the bad weather, the streets on the outskirts, where there were usually not many people out and about, were now so empty that even silence was felt..
Inside a building that has become shabby because it has not received the benefits of prosperity, located in a place with few people..
With the sound of heavy rain continuously hitting the window... Inyoung, who had assimilated into the darkness of the room without a single ray of light, quietly looked out the window..
Flash! Rumbling—!
At that time, a light flashed in the sky, and a strange shadow was instantly cast on his face..
A mask with a strange expression that looks like it's smiling, looks like it's getting angry, and looks like it's frowning.
It was a Hahoe mask..
‘It's raining a lot.’
Hans stared out the window..
Unlike the inside where he was, cool rain continued to fall outside where the street lights brightly illuminated the street even in the wind and rain..
As if trying to purify the world.
‘Of course, it would be difficult to purify the world in such a way..’
A strange idea suddenly occurred to him, and he slightly scoffed inwardly and turned his head..
Appeasement like water does nothing to eliminate the pollution that contaminates the world..
It takes a lot of effort, and it doesn't wash off well, and even if you succeed, it leaves a stain that even contaminates the water you tried to wash it off with..
‘It is fire rather than water that purifies this world..’
That was the answer he thought of.
A hard-line policy that is like a fire that burns everything that is unclean... that is, overwhelming violence.!
Flame, which burns everything without allowing any contamination, was a much more efficient means of purification than water..
Of course, he knew that that method also had many side effects, but he had no intention of giving up his beliefs..
Even if you are harmed by the fire,.
Because that was the path he chose.
[Hahaha—what a useless thought..]
Hans, who was lost in sentiment for a moment, shook his head and took out a cannon phone from his subspace magic tool..
Ugh— Ugh.—
At the same time, the device that received all of the delayed signals made a series of vibrating sounds and a messenger window appeared on the screen..
-Hans Noye No. 1: I have achieved some results, so I will report first..
-Hans Slave No. 1: Regarding the Buncheonhoe, it is said that the management bureau was also continuing to track it. It seems that they are currently experiencing difficulties in investigating whether they have completely stopped their domestic activities..
-Hans Noye No. 1: So, it looks like they are focusing on digging into previous related incidents. It's not easy because they're so thorough, but it's not like there's no income at all..
-Hans Slave No. 1 :
-Hans Noye No. 1: I think this is all the useful data for now. We will contact you again when we have more information..
The informant he had planted in the Supernatural Abilities Management Bureau was ‘Hans Slave No. 1’... No, the warlock Ahn Seong-jin was faithfully collecting information as instructed..
A little surprisingly competent.
‘This much information already. It's more useful than you think?’
I didn't really feel it because he couldn't resist Hans and was helpless, but he was one of the best talents in the country when it comes to black magic..
Of course, there were quite a few people who were superior to him simply in terms of ability, but it was rare for someone like An Seong-jin to reach a high level while maintaining his rationality intact..
He has a track record of participating as an advisor in all kinds of dark magic crimes and helping in the investigation, and the same was true in the recent issue related to Hahoe Tal..
In that sense, it was natural to be interested in Beoncheonhoe, which was said to have clashed with Hahoetal.···.
‘I thought it was better than nothing, but it turns out it was the best appointment..’
I guess I should give him some gift when I get back from Japan..
That way, I will work even harder in the future..
Where else can you find a warm boss who cares more about employee welfare than this?.
[Hmm, well, after coming here, I wonder if I really need information about Korea. Still, the more information, the better..]
Hans glanced at the data transferred to the smartphone, muttered softly, and put it back into subspace..
Flashing—Quarring!
At that moment, lightning struck again.
A sudden burst of intense light illuminated the dark room..
It looked like there had been a fierce fight, and there were broken items everywhere..
The cracked and collapsed interior walls and ceiling looked so dangerous that it would have been better to build a new one..
Even fresh blood and pieces of flesh were scattered everywhere..
And in the center—.
[Ugh.]
[Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!]
Cracking, crackling—!
Like a scene from a horror movie, dozens of corpses were grotesquely writhing and lined up..
They were the people who lived in this building and were members of an organization that used this place as a base and dominated the surrounding area..
···not now but.
[It's definitely a bonanza, unlike Korea. I can't believe that clues come out so quickly after killing a few big guys. I should have done this a long time ago.]
Of course, these guys weren't the proper agents of the Buncheonhoe..
If I were to be honest, should I say that it is a branch of an organization that is in a cooperative relationship with the hardliners in Korea?.
However, by examining the mind of the highest-ranking person here, I was able to further find out that there are quite a few organizations in Japan that follow such a 'same line'..
‘Actually, I didn't expect it to catch its tail so quickly. This probably means that the influence of Beoncheonhoe is spread more widely than in Korea..’
That meant that if we continued to destroy those organizations, the Buncheonhoe would eventually emerge..
They weren't peaceful enough to stand still while the people they were in a cooperative relationship with were being wiped out in droves..
[Phew—it's nice that it's not complicated. Yes, death and destruction are my essence! I am looking forward to seeing who will be the last person standing at the end of this road. Hahahaha!]
At that moment, the lightning struck again, and a dark shadow was etched on Hans' mask as he threw his head back and burst into laughter..
A smile filled with madness that is grotesquely exaggerated according to the wrinkles and curves carved into the Hahoe mask..
But that heart-wrenching laugh soon stopped like a ghost as the space was immersed in darkness.—.
When light came back into the room, which had been immersed in silence for a while, there was already no one left inside..
Only the mess, with broken places and blood stains everywhere, tells us that something big happened there.···.
***
A man tilted his head after hearing unexpected information in an office filled with all kinds of fancy decorations..
“···What does this mean??”
Yulryeongja, head of the East Asia branch of Beoncheonhoe, frowned as he checked the newly uploaded report again while sitting in his wheelchair..
Jiing— gong—
Even though his left prosthetic eye, which looked like something out of science fiction, was busy scanning documents, organizing the information at a glance and projecting it directly to his brain, he did not relax his posture for a long time and just stared at the report to organize his thoughts..
“Hahoe mask... headed to Japan?”
Only after a long time had passed did a soft word come out of his mouth..
It was information about the latest status of Hahoe Tal, the biggest cause of the headaches he has been suffering from recently..
He checked the information again and stroked his chin..
‘Even so, I was just about to try my hand at Korea at the doctor's request..’
Of course, in the current situation, even if we tried to do something, it would be impossible to get things done right away..
Still, in order to set the stage in advance, I was planning to move the remnants of the Buncheonhoe that were still quietly hiding and the high-ranking figures who had taken advantage of their weaknesses.···.
‘Now, out of nowhere, I went to Japan.?’
Things were different there than in Korea, where most of the foundations have now been blown away..
In Asia, it was the region they were targeting after China, so not only did they put in a lot of effort over a longer period of time, but the influence of underworld organizations, including the Yakuza, was strong, so it was much more advantageous for them to become parasitic and increase their power..
Naturally, the power of the Beoncheonhoe that extended there was incomparable to that in Korea..
‘If this happens, there will be no need to target him in Korea..’
Tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk—
The ruler was deep in thought, tapping his fingers on the table..
It may not be possible, but I wonder if the forces that have taken root in Japan will end up like Korea..
“I thought it was confined to Korea. You move diligently, Hahoe Tal.···.”
Although he stopped his activities in Korea, he continued to collect information about Hahoe Tal through his subordinates..
His unique skill, “Image Projection,” was an ability that he believed to be the highest among mental abilities..
It goes beyond the level of simply imposing a ban on members, and not only allows them to convey their thoughts, but also allows them to indirectly experience everything they see and hear if they wish..
Isn’t it truly an all-purpose skill?!
‘···Of course, because of that, it ended up looking like this now..’
Throbbing—
The ruler gritted his teeth and slowly stroked the corner of his left eye as he suddenly felt extreme pain..
Although I recovered my vision by implanting a prosthetic eye, the impact of having my spiritual body torn apart was different..
For such a long time.
The pain that started in the eyes slowly spread throughout the body and eventually disappeared until it reached the thighs, which had lost sensation like a cut edge..
“Whoo... whoo···.”
He took a deep breath and broke into a cold sweat..
Because of this, I can't use my unique skills to my full potential these days, and I've even developed an obsession with always disconnecting and creating an escape hole..
It was absolutely not a good habit for an awakened person who possessed all of his natural abilities, but if he met someone like Hahoetal one more time in his current state, then his soul would truly be torn apart, so it was inevitable..
‘Of course, I can't miss this great opportunity. Still, I need to prepare more thoroughly just in case..’
He finally made a decision and nodded slowly..
We haven't properly confirmed Hahoetal's power yet, but if that's the case, it wouldn't be too much to call him the demon king of a world..
However, the powerful people of Earth... especially the Beoncheonhoe, were not weak enough to be defeated by a single demon lord..
‘In the first place, returnees are superhumans who have special abilities and have survived in this world for a long time with growth correction, and each and every one of them is a weapon of war..’
Of course, as the number of people is large, the proportion of people who are born out of nowhere is also high, but in the real top ranks, there are quite a few people who have returned with achievements that make you wonder if they are lies..
From the person who defeated and sealed the descending demon king, to the person who saved the country by beheading the evil demon dragon, and on the other hand, the villains who came back after inflicting fatal damage on that side..
‘I'll make you regret looking down on us.’
And in fact, the ruler himself was also from a dark background who helped plunge the world into the flames of war with his intelligence and scheming..
***
bang-! taang!
Kwaaang—!
“Shoot! keep shooting!”
“crazy! What is this monster?!”
A series of loud gunshots rang out, and harsh, frightened curses came out from all over..
In addition to modern firearms, fire, lightning, gravity, and other supernatural powers were constantly being used to hinder the enemy..
only one place.
Gooooo—
As if the abyss had coalesced, towards the thick darkness that was rapidly approaching them..
But of course, there was no way something like that could be prevented with such a lukewarm method..
In the end, the black fog, shaking off all obstacles, reached right in front of their noses..
“shit! Everyone drop your guns! From now on it's a hindrance!”
“Captain Nakagawa! But if you touch that place carelessly, you'll be like other guys.···!”
“Then support me from behind! You idiot!”
Wow! visor!
In the end, they had no choice but to draw their weapons and swallowed dry saliva as they gathered their energy to prepare for the fight..
“Damn, I thought it was just a rumor···!”
There was a rumor that started spreading around the streets of Fukuoka these days..
An unidentified reaper who approaches silently under the cover of darkness, annihilates the organization, and takes away the corpses..
There were more than one person who had already been harmed by 'it', but all that was left at the scene was traces of desperate resistance, and the only clues to it were uncertain testimonies..
If it weren't for the survivors who were captured and released by the organization that attacked, it would have remained a mystery until the end..
Saaaa—
At that time, the black fog that had come close to them slowly cleared away, and something in the shape of a human appeared within it..
A jet-black robe that seemed to melt into the surrounding darkness, a hood covering the head, and···.
Among all the pitch-black shapes, a heterogeneous mask stands out especially thanks to a pair of eye lights that burn like a will-o'-the-wisp..
“Oni(鬼)...is it??”
[It is Hahoe mask. You foolish human being.]
When someone muttered something in a trembling voice, a being that seemed to embody fear responded kindly..
[Well, there's no point in telling you now anyway..]
How is this different from talking about a corpse?.
It didn't take long for Hahoetal and Hans to turn the entire city of Fukuoka in Kyushu upside down..
Of course, proper purification started now..
'Cause now it's just a city.
