My alter ego is becoming a big shot - Episode 253
#253
closed dimension (2)
An office full of colorful decorations.
All kinds of information quickly passed by on the work monitor placed there..
Even though I couldn't read even a single line with decent visual acuity,···.
‘Now I'm used to this too.’
The man sitting in front of him just stared calmly at the screen without any significant change in expression..
Jiying—
With a slight vibration felt in one eye, the enormous flood of information reflected in the eye was projected into his head..
It was a dangerous thing that would not have been surprising for an ordinary person to go crazy if he had experienced it, but for him with transcendent mental ability, it was just light brain training..
‘Is this all?.’
Indeed, it is the ultimate prosthetic eye containing the essence of magical engineering..
Thanks to his overwhelming performance, the man entered a huge amount of reports into his mind in an instant, and the ruler quietly closed his eyes and reflected on the information in his mind in an instant..
‘···Where are you, Hahoetal?.’
Hahoe Mask, who disappeared immediately after the fight in Japan that day, has still not been seen..
As if to follow in his footsteps, a vampire named Heinz began wandering the streets of Seoul at night, but the Doctor was directly interested in it and was taking action, so it was not his business to interfere..
‘The fact that he hasn't been seen until now probably means that something went wrong with that fight..’
He nodded quietly..
Well, it was a mental terrorist attack designed to neutralize him in the first place..
If you were fine after being hit by that, it would only be unfair..
The ruler opened his eyes again and glanced at his limp right arm..
Anger boiled in my heart as I encountered a body that had lost function, including one eye and both legs, as a result of being hit by Hahoetal..
‘Hahoe mask···.’
While I was pondering my situation and ruminating on my resentment,—.
-Bibibig!
A communication request notification sound suddenly rang out from the office speaker..
After quickly identifying the target, he slowly extended his left hand and approved the connection with the other person..
-Ah, ah—this is the doctor. Are you a rite?~?
“Yes, doctor. what's going on?”
A frivolous voice comes through the speaker..
He frowned slightly at that, but responded calmly..
-Uhhhh~ Ah, I've contacted you to inform you that Hoeju has left again! I tried to wait as long as I could, but he said it wouldn't be possible any longer. This is really sad.!
Some time has passed since the conflict with Hahoe Tal in Japan..
In the meantime, Hoeju was reorganizing the organization in preparation for the guy's reappearance, but it seemed like the amount of time he could spend had now reached its limit..
-He said that there was nothing he could do as he was fighting with the Smile Mask and was attracting the attention of 'Earth' more than he expected! Even if it was a bit excessive, I tried to catch the guy for sure... Oh, this isn't just a lot of damage.!
“···I'm sorry. Because I wasn't sure, I felt like I wasted the opportunity for the Lord to make a move..”
To be honest, I didn't think it was my fault, but the issue was so big that I couldn't just pretend not to know..
As the thoroughly planned plan went awry, the overall planning of the Beoncheon meeting had to be further postponed..
-Ah, is there anything in this world that happens just the way you want it to? If the best is not possible, you can choose the next best option. Hoeju will take care of everything, so we just have to do what we can.!
The doctor didn't say anything to him, probably because he knew it was an inevitable situation..
I'm just venting my dissatisfaction about the fundamental reason why things happened like this..
-Tsk, but as expected, I don’t like this situation. How long must we play by the will of the gods?!
It was not about blaming Hahoetal for interfering with the work, but rather about the reason why the leader was unable to use his power properly and the meaning of the existence of Beoncheonhoe..
“Isn't this amount of error within the expected range? There's not much left.”
-Phew—that was right, that’s right! Ah, I can't wait for that time! If there is an irrational being called God, scientific progress and new discoveries and inventions become meaningless! Matters in the human world should be resolved among humans, so how dare something like God intervene?—!
For some reason, I thought it was relatively calm..
Sure enough, the doctor's voice, which was speaking quickly as if he was talking to himself, slowly began to become crazy..
‘Here we go again.’
After all, this is how he can be called the representative madman of the Buncheonhoe..
The ruler nodded his head as if he had given up and agreed with his words..
The doctor's excited speech continued for a long time..
And while he was talking so hard, he couldn't control his excitement and started fuming to himself, then unilaterally cut off communication, saying that he would pour his energy into research..
In the sudden silence.
“ha.”
The ruler let out a short sigh, closed his eyes, leaned against the back of his chair, and fell into deep thought..
Suddenly, when I first encountered Hahoetal, I remembered what I had said in that mental world..
-Freedom of returnees. Creating a world we lead.
-We have existed for a long time. And continue to fight for freedom.
‘Be free···.’
What he said then was sincere..
However, it was not necessary to mention that the opponent was a divine being, not a human authority figure..
Of course, in the end, hegemony of the world would be achieved, so it wasn't really different..
‘Sacrifice is inevitable for the greater good..’
Terrorism was also part of the process to complete consciousness as part of the great cause..
If all goes according to plan, approximately half of the Earth's population will ultimately be sacrificed..
Hahoetal didn't seem to have any intention of accepting that, but it didn't matter since there was a limit to how much one person could interfere..
The plan was still going smoothly.
***
‘Beoncheonhoeju, could it be him??’
It was an inference without any specific basis or context, but a keen intuition beyond any singularity clearly warned me..
He is the cause of the current situation..
Harris, who felt the need for more detailed information, spared no efforts to enhance Jin Deok-man's memory..
crunchy—!
“Ouch! I really don't know! I don't know!”
“hmm? Are you speaking informally??”
“Oh no! I didn't say I didn't know any more than this! That's all I know!”
But unfortunately... despite all the scientific methods, we couldn't get more detailed information from him..
All he knows is a baseless rumor like 'I heard there was such a secret behind the collapse of the empire.'.
“Then who did you hear that story from??”
“Ugh, my brother-in-law... I heard it from the head lender of Yangjiang Waterway! The gentleman also said he heard it somewhere and said it as a joke while drinking, so I don't know the source.!”
“Pick it up with the Yangtze River.···.”
Jangjiang Water Rochae.
Although they were a numerical union similar to the Eight Eight Churches of Dongdong centered on Dongdongho, they were in fact a large organization that was superior in all respects..
In this world where magic does not exist, the center of logistics had to be water transport, and they had that much power based on the huge Yangtze River that crosses the continent..
Of course, those who knew the importance of waterways began to strictly regulate them, but weren't thieves good at avoiding such controls in the first place??
‘Moreover, this is a world where a few strong men can overwhelm many armies..’
These bandits roamed the wide Yangtze River and accumulated wealth through smuggling and toll taxes, which became a headache for the government..
Now that the country is collapsing and their reins have been loosened, they are monopolizing the waterways and are even more powerful than before the world became chaotic..
“Hmm, this is difficult..”
When Harris remembered that information, he drooled and frowned..
The problem was that the water flow of the Yangtze River was enormous and the time given to him was not that much..
There are only 7 days left to go..
In the meantime, there was absolutely not enough time to catch the target who was wandering around the Yangtze River and obtain information..
‘···No, you can't fill up after the first drink. Let's not rush. Anyway, the initial goal was to collect information and then create a suitable environment for growth..’
Somehow, it turned out to be a trick to beat down all the enemies..
There was no need to go all out there right away..
“Ugh... I don't know what you want. If you want to know something, why don't you go to people who know better instead of doing this to us, who are outnumbered? It's the Zhuge Dynasty of Yongzhong in Hubei Province across the Yangtze River..”
At that time, Jindeokman made a groaning sound and spoke like a grumbler..
It seemed like he was trying to pass on his bad luck to someone else, but there was certainly some truth to what he said..
“Zhuge Dynasty?”
“Well, these are people who know more than they don't know. It also produced many imperial officials. It is also said that Zhuge Dynasty was the first to learn about the decline of energy and the importance of the dragon vein..”
Certainly, in such a place, there was a high possibility that they would know the inside story of this situation..
Moreover, unlike the Jangjiangsu Road Chaeju, who moved from place to place under his command, the base was clear and easy to find..
‘Hmm, it's a famous prestigious school..’
In this chaos, there will be virtually no safe place anywhere in the world..
In such a situation, the help of a local partner was essential for a smooth life..
But it was not possible to select just any location.···.
‘···Well, let’s go and check it out first.?’
Of course, after collecting all the wealth that the enemies had gathered,.
***
Shabby fishing village near Dongjeong Lake.
Just a few days ago, it was a place with a gloomy atmosphere, as if they were living without being able to die, but now the villagers were excited by the small hope that had suddenly arrived..
Not only were the enemies who were exploiting them punished, but their empty treasures were filled and their hearts were enriched..
It was a weak hope that might be extinguished by any storm, but it gave those who had been living a difficult life the strength to endure today..
“Huh, this is···.”
And at the entrance to that small village.
A middle-aged man wearing an old and worn uniform entered and let out an exclamation..
“Who are you??”
A hunched old man sitting in the shade of a tree looked at him and opened his mouth in a wary voice..
A foreigner who suddenly came to this small fishing village that had no visitors even before the tribulation broke out..
No matter how you look at it, it's very suspicious, isn't it??
“ah! Excuse me for this, old man. The way of doing things is called Cheonggwan..”
“···Are you a Taoist? What's going on here···?”
However, the middle-aged man's polite greeting slightly eased the old man's caution..
Of course, in times like these, it is dangerous whether you are a Taoist or a monk, but if you show courtesy like that, you will not show your evil intentions right away..
“Regarding that, I would like to ask you one thing.···.”
And the Taoist monk and Cheonggwan, who opened their mouths as if waiting for the old man's question, immediately turned their heads and looked across the lake..
“Do you know what happened over there??”
The place where his eyes landed was a small island in Dongdong Lake, which boasts an ocean-like area..
Until recently, this was the place where the water shed of Eoryongchae, which ruled this area, was located..
“Ohh! I guess they recognized him right away because he was a Taoist monk. Hehe, the Dragon King of Dongdong Lake has punished the enemy.!”
“Dragon King... you mean??”
The old man smiled and raised his voice, as if asking when he had shown caution..
And he told the official about the majestic and mysterious sight he saw that day..
Dense swirling clouds covered the sky and a huge storm raged around the area..
In addition, thunder and lightning continued to explode from the ground as if the God of Thunder had descended..
Cheonggwan listened with a serious expression to those boastful words and nodded heavily..
His eyes turned again to the island with a dark trace of something on it..
If he hadn't seen it clearly with his own eyes right now, he would have dismissed the old man's words as mere bluff..
To that extent, the story about the abnormal phenomenon was completely absurd..
But he had no choice but to believe because he could feel it clearly even at this moment..
The enormous traces left there, and clearly foreign to the energy of this world,.
‘···After all, it is not of this world.’
The old man says that the Dragon King of Dongdong Lake was punished by heaven, but that is probably not true..
Regardless of whether they are dragon kings, immortals, or monsters, they are definitely beings that belong to this world..
Cheng Guan politely thanked the old man for answering his question and quickly left the village to a deserted place..
Then, he took out the ritual tools from his pack, built a makeshift shrine, sat in the center of it, lifted an amulet in front of his face, and quietly recited an incantation..
A little time passes like that.
Grumbling—
Suddenly, a blue flame rose from the amulet and scattered soft light around..
However, even during this time, the amulet did not burn out, but rather maintained its original stiffness without the slightest soot..
“The governor of Bindo is calling..”
And that Taoist, Cheong Gwan, a magician from the Mosan sect, spoke in a reverent voice..
“Traces of an otherworldly person with otherworldly powers were discovered in Dongdong Lake, Hunan Province..”
A message sent to the headquarters in Jiangsu Province, which is far away from here..
