Absolute person in every corner-Episode 144
144Episode [Episode 32] Savior (4)
[Citizen Yoon Seong-min’s trust increases..]
[Citizen Seongmin Yoon's trust has reached 100.]
[Gain a huge amount of experience.]
‘also?’
It was already the third time.
There are cases where trust reaches 100 before loyalty..
Starting with Lee Jun-young, who had the ability to see through clairvoyance, two new people have already achieved trustworthiness of 100..
In the case of non-awakened people, experience points are gained instead of the abilities possessed by the target, but it was difficult to guess exactly to what extent..
If you look at the modifier ‘super large amount’, it is definitely not a small amount..
‘Citizen Management, Seongmin Yoon.’
What appeared in front of me with the command were two citizens..
This is because as the number of citizens increased, people with the same name began to appear one by one..
Fortunately, it was not difficult to determine which of the two it was..
Because there was only one person with a trust rating of 100..
‘is this person.’
He was a handsome, chubby man wearing glasses..
‘Loyalty is also high.’
Yoon Seong-min's loyalty was 63, which was a very high figure considering that he had only recently become a citizen..
I looked into the place where that person was through the eyes of the Absolute..
At that place.
‘……hmm.’
A pseudo-pastor was praising me and spreading his ideas..
When I checked the citizens there, I was able to confirm that they were all people with high trust and loyalty..
‘It's church this time too.’
It happened to be the church where the woman whose trust reached 100 a few days ago was located..
She was praising me and praying towards me..
Perhaps because they were people who originally believed in God, the rate at which their trust increased was much faster than that of others..
It was a funny story, but there were surprisingly many good and innocent people among the people who belonged to the cult..
Although the majority of JHS believers had immediate survival as their goal, there were also those who sincerely believed in the doctrine and prayed..
People who want to overcome trials through religion.
They turned the same faith they had towards Jeong Hyun-soo towards me, and as a result, their trust was rising sharply..
‘It's a little burdensome, but it's nothing bad..’
Relying on someone isn't a bad thing.
Ha Dong-geon was able to overcome the pain of losing his family by relying on his wife, Kim Ga-young, while Kang Deok-soo and Kim Geon got through the difficult times by drinking..
In the case of Oh Eon-ju, he said that he lives by relying on the memories of the day I gave him as a gift..
Delicious food. Fun game. precious friend. lover. memory. responsibility.
Maybe all humans rely on somewhere to gain the strength to live..
In their case, it was just ‘religion’..
It was then.
ring!
[The number of citizens with a trust rating of 100 has reached 12..]
[condition has been met.]
[‘‘Priest’ is open.]
It was confirmed that a new job was added to the job research center..
‘her.’
The explanation for the priest was simple..
-Priest: Obtain ‘Heal’.
It was simple yet unconventional..
‘Heel.’
It was on a different level from the ‘hunter’ who left behind the corpse of his prey..
It was said that if you really give healing ability, you will create awakened people..
‘That's a heel too.’
This was a feature that had to be activated..
To be honest, it was a job that could have a bigger impact than inventory..
It would have been nice if I could have applied the priest profession right away, but I couldn't..
Priest Research [Disabled] (Unlocks Level 5)
‘You need to raise the level of the vocational research institute..’
Among the facilities that could be constructed, the only leveled building was the Vocational Research Institute..
‘But I don't know how to level up the job research institute..’
Priest wasn't the only class research currently disabled..
Warrior Research [Disabled] (Level 2 unlocked))
Gunner Research [Disabled] (Level 2 unlocked))
Lancer Research [Disabled] (Unlocked at level 3)
Bowman Research [Disabled] (Unlocked at level 3)
Occasionally, jobs that could be researched were opened when various conditions were met..
As soon as there are more than 100 citizens of level 30 or higher, warriors become open, shooters become open when there are more than 100 citizens with skill in guns, etc..
New jobs were opened whenever certain conditions were met..
However, I didn't know how to level up the job research center, so I left it alone until now..
There were some things I didn't pay attention to because the effects of the new jobs weren't special..
It was because I was too busy just taking care of other things..
‘However, if you awaken your healing ability, the story is different..’
It was worth finding a way to do this, even if it meant overdoing it..
‘I need to discuss it..’
It was then.
[Jaehyun.]
Telepathy was received from Dabin Kim..
[yes, go ahead.]
[Commander Lee Hak-gi requested a face-to-face meeting..]
When I checked with my absolute eyes, I could see Commander Lee Hak-ki waiting in the conference room of the administrative management office..
[I'll go there right now..]
When I used the teleport to appear in the conference room, Commander Lee Hak-gi bowed his head in slight surprise..
“This is how I see you.”
“See you again.”
I asked him with a serious expression..
“Are you okay with the accommodation you were assigned??”
“It doesn't get any better than this. When I was taking a shower with warm water... … It felt like I was back in time..”
“I'm glad you like it..”
At that time, Yoo Hye-rin appeared through the conference room door and made two cups of coffee..
“I'll eat well.”
“Yes, Jaehyun. bon appetite.”
After savoring the mixed coffee for a while, I asked Commander Lee Hak-gi to get to the point..
“So, what brought you to me??”
“I have something to tell you..”
“Please speak comfortably.”
Commander Lee Hak-ki, who paused for a moment, soon opened his mouth..
“I heard that they plan to accept all citizens in Seoul..”
“Yes, that's right.”
“It's not possible.”
I asked back, a little surprised by his firm answer..
“Is there a special reason??”
“Yes, people have already changed too much.”
Commander Lee Hak-gi spoke calmly..
“People are too accustomed to stealing, raping, and murdering others. Nowadays, humans are more dangerous than monsters. If we continue to accept people without any filters like we do now, a big accident will occur..”
“Is it because there will be a large influx of murderers??”
“That's right.”
In fact, the question that came out of Commander Lee Hak-ki's mouth was a matter that had already been concluded after talking directly with Da-bin Kim..
I spoke to Commander Lee Hak-gi..
“If you apply the same logic, you must be fully aware that you cannot accept the commander's organization.?”
“……I know. but we are different.”
“Commander, can you guarantee that there is no one in the organization you lead who has experience killing people for their own gain??”
“…….”
Commander Lee Hak-gi could not answer..
I asked him who was silent and lowered his head..
“Why do looting and murder occur??”
“……Our true nature comes out in extreme situations..”
“Of course, there will be people like that. However, in many cases it would have been an unavoidable choice for survival..”
Rather than saying that people's nature is evil, it was that they were forced to make a choice in an unavoidable situation..
“It's largely the government's fault that people end up in that situation. Our government collapsed too quickly..”
At that time, Commander Lee Hak-ki's body twitched slightly..
“……Basic social infrastructure collapsed so quickly that people were forced to make choices for survival. Like this, they would have had to starve to death, plunder, sometimes kill people to get food, and sometimes to protect themselves..”
“…….”
“But it's different here where I am. You can live in a stable social infrastructure. Punishment for violent crimes such as murder and rape is also certain..”
I looked him straight in the eye and continued speaking..
“I want to give people opportunities. I just want to return to normal life again..”
and.
“For his sake, there is something I would like to ask Commander Lee Hak-gi..”
“……please speak.”
“Please select people as much as possible with your ability to discern the truth..”
“!”
Commander Lee Hak-ki had a look in his eyes as if he knew that..
“Is it possible??”
“No, of course.”
The commander was given the title of 'deputy chief' and given the role of a selector..
As someone who has personally experienced all kinds of hardships in Seoul, it is enough to distinguish between those who can be accepted and those who cannot..
“There are two cases in which citizenship may be revoked. One is the one who committed the rape.”
It was a bit of a strange story, but in the case of murder, there was at least some possibility of extenuating circumstances..
As mentioned earlier, for survival, self-protection, or due to a mistake in an extreme situation..
But in the case of rape, there was no room for compromise..
Because it was a story that had nothing to do with survival..
“Another is intentional murder committed for pleasure or a specific purpose. These two cases will result in unconditional expulsion..”
Personally, in these two cases, I was planning on 'hunting' them right after their citizenship was revoked..
In some ways, they were more useless than monsters..
It was necessary to nip it in the bud in advance to avoid creating second or third victims..
“I will leave the judgment on the remaining matters to the commander..”
“Go, thank you.”
Just before wrapping up the story, I lightly asked Commander Lee Hak-gi..
“Do you know anything about why our country’s government collapsed so quickly??”
“…….”
Commander Lee Hak-ki remained frozen..
After a few seconds of silence, I opened my mouth with difficulty..
“There are two possibilities.”
“That's interesting. Let me start with the first possibility..”
“Among the monsters that appeared in Seoul, there were monsters that did not meet the standards. This is a case where all the people who play a central role in the country are killed by those monsters..”
“That's a plausible enough story..”
In fact, the level of monsters in Seoul observed through the retainers was excessively high..
30There were so many level monsters that it was overwhelming, level 40 monsters were forming their own territories, and in some places, monsters over level 50 were wandering around..
It was no wonder that so many high-ranking people met their deaths in the devastated Seoul..
but.
“what is the other one?”
Even so, a considerably larger number of people survived than expected..
Isn't it a little strange that only politicians and other high-ranking people died in greater numbers?.
Commander Lee Hak-gi slowly opened his mouth..
“There are several huge bomb shelters built in great secrecy. This is an air-raid shelter built under the assumption of nuclear war.…….”
Just by listening to that point, I was able to guess the story that would follow..
“……So, most of the people who were supposed to be the backbone of the country would have hidden there.?”
“It's not a sure thing. I only heard it through rumors.”
“How big is it??”
“I understand that the largest facility can accommodate about 1,000 people..”
“……All the people who were in the top 0.01 percent of Korea must be gathered there..”
It was amazing.
‘How is it that the leader of this country turns his back and runs away every time a war breaks out??’
It was like that historically too..
The story of King Seonjo abandoning his people and running away during the Japanese invasions of Korea was so famous..
‘……Ugh.’
