Chapter 420 – Difference in Case (2)
The first day’s operation was completed successfully.
They succeeded in taking over the largest passageway to the black market and the surrounding area.
As a result, the remaining enemies are isolated on the upper floor.
If they are dealt with properly, the black market in China will no longer exist.
However, just because the result was good, that does not mean the process was perfect.
There were dizzying moments when I almost got pushed into a dangerous situation.
So.
“I’m so sorry!”
Boom!
China’s representative, Defense Minister Chen Lao, who almost caused the crisis, apologized to them by burying his head in the field desk as soon as the meeting began.
However, their expressions did not change at all.
Just one person.
Asked Sophia, a saint whose expression was obscured by a veil.
“First, please explain to me what happened.”
The moment her voice rang out softly, she realized.
Even the benevolent saint was in a state of extreme anger.
Under even more intense pressure, Chen Lao closed his eyes tightly and explained the situation.
“I-I didn’t even know about it.”
“The Minister of National Defense, who represents China, didn’t know?”
“… “You may not believe it, but it’s true.”
Even he was so shocked that he was going crazy.
Clearly, the order he received was to destroy the black market, which was beyond government control.
To this end, we established an operation with representatives from each country who thankfully responded to our request for support.
While the plan was steadily progressing, there were people who were disappointed about it.
To be exact, the enormous profits coming from the black market.
“It seems like a lot of words were exchanged because of that.”
They talked behind the scenes, leaving the Minister of National Defense behind.
If we just eliminate the organization called Hexagram, wouldn’t we be able to bring the black market under its original control?
“Beyond that, it seemed like he saw it as an opportunity.”
If we can take this opportunity to rein them in, they will obey without a word even if we impose a higher tax rate than before.
“The police officers who urged surrender were all people who acted under their orders.”
The Minister of National Defense, who found out about this too late, became furious and arrested them all.
In a battlefield where life is at stake, violating the strategy is the same as putting your comrades at risk.
“… “We will make them pay for their sins unconditionally.”
Everyone realized this when they saw him in anger, his swollen cheeks shaking.
He was not involved in this matter in the slightest.
But that doesn’t mean we can just quietly cover up this incident.
Han Ju-hee, who had been quietly listening to his story, opened her eyes and said.
“We’re still in operation, so let’s cover it up for a while. Step.”
The anger in her eyes toward the Minister of Defense was anger.
A cold anger that seems to freeze everything it touches, not befitting its nickname, Scarlet Witch.
“They will all have to pay for their crimes after the operation is over. Certainly.”
The head of the Ministry of National Defense, hearing her harsh voice, lowered his head helplessly.
‘Something big is going to happen.’
He said he would not feel at ease even after the operation was over.
He thought.
* * *
The team members completed their first real battle of killing people.
The guys’ condition didn’t seem bad until they sat down to eat dinner.
“Oh… “Is this better than I thought?”
“I know!”
“Hmm… ! “It tastes like my mother.”
“Mother’s taste… ?”
“My mother’s food in Bulgaria was crude like this.”
“Oh, that’s right…” .”
Unlike me, who couldn’t even eat dinner after my first real battle, I was proud that he was able to eat well.
I thought the kids’ mental strength was much stronger than I thought.
Feeling so proud, I parted ways, lay down on the field bed in the barracks assigned to me, and closed my eyes.
“Dojin… , Ruler?”
“…”
A shadow hovers at the entrance to the barracks.
Why is the voice of Lim Na-eun, who left for her barracks to go to sleep first, coming from in front of my barracks?
I have no choice but to get up from bed.
“… “I’m not sleeping yet, so come in.”
As if she had been waiting, Lim Na-eun opens her entrance and comes inside.
I can tell just by looking at the shadow that falls on her smiling face.
It must have finally occurred to me because I was alone at night.
The moment when my magic made people explode.
“Excuse me… , I mean, there’s that…”
What is so shameful?
It was pitiful to see her struggling to get her words out, so when she silently stretched out her arms, the guy rushed at her as if he had been waiting for her.
“I-I’m sorry…”
“What.”
“I thought everything was okay until we all had dinner together…”
“Do you remember me when I’m trying to sleep?”
“Yes.”
A crying voice coming from the head buried in my chest.
But.
After my first real experience, I stayed up all night for several days with my eyes wide open.
“Si, I’m disappointed… ?”
“No.”
What is disappointment?
“Of course.”
The reason I was proud of the guys at the time of dinner was because they seemed to ignore such an obvious task without any hesitation.
Don’t be disappointed if it doesn’t.
Because this is average.
He lightly pats Lim Na-eun on the back and offers her comfort.
“Think a little differently.”
“How… ?”
“You didn’t kill someone, you saved someone.”
“Save me… ?”
“Okay. These are people who have lived their whole lives stealing and killing others. “It was planned to be like that in the future.”
The villains gathered in the Chinese black market are all trash who cannot even dream of rehabilitation.
Red wanted criminals who have been driven to a paradise on the edge of a cliff and have no place to set foot anywhere in the world.
Even if they were alive today, wouldn’t it be obvious what they would do?
“The longer they were alive, the more people they would have stolen and killed. Yes?”
“Yes.”
“You blocked that future. You saved the life of someone who was supposed to die. A lot of that too.”
You might think that when you hear these words.
Well…
“… “It seems like sophistry.”
“…”
Yes, sophistry.
If you talk about a future that hasn’t even arrived, it might sound like that.
But whatever.
Sophistry or whatever.
“I still want to believe that. Dojin… , No, because that’s what the master said… ♥”
As long as you can give comfort to the other person, isn’t that enough?
“Master…”
Instead of fear, a person with endless and deepening affection slowly appears in the corner of his eyes.
“Could you please comfort me a little more…” ?”
I can’t do it.
“… “Take it off.”
“Yes, master… ♥”
I have no choice but to hang out a little.
After a time of joy and pleasure.
Naeun, who is much better than when he first came in, is finally heading to his barracks and trying to get some sleep for tomorrow.
“… Hey, are you sleeping?”
Another uninvited guest came.
“So you didn’t kill someone, you saved someone…”
“You’re good at spouting nonsense.”
Just like I did with Im Na-eun, I comforted him.
“Fuck, black… , I feel so fucking bad… , More, faster… ♥”
He wants me to push him until he faints in order to forget the remaining feeling in his hands.
“Oh, oh oh oh… ♥”
He did that.
“Haha, haha… !”
After using clean magic to clean the guy who was stretched out and out of breath, I cleaned him well and sent him out.
“Puppy… , Are you sleeping?”
Bruise! Bruise!
Grrrr… Wow!
* * *
A sacrifice was needed.
A sacrificial lamb who will take on the heavy burden he was carrying alone.
The moment you get your hands on a sufficient amount of offerings, the shackles can be removed.
So he tried hard, but it wasn’t easy.
“Popularity isn’t always a good thing. Yes?”
“…”
Son Si-woo sympathized with the words of Michelle, the woman who lightly hugged him from behind and whispered to him.
As time goes by, I realize it.
A high reputation is not always a good thing.
The biggest problem I felt right now was none other than presence.
‘It stands out too much.’
People recognize him very easily.
Even if he moves just a little bit, his actions will be covered in articles and everyone will know.
Because of this, it was not easy to collect offerings because of the passive movements that had to be taken.
That was why.
The reason he decided to participate in this operation.
“Can I help?”
Siwoo shakes his head in response to Michelle’s question, who has already left his back.
“… I do not need.”
He felt his heart pound as he looked at the corpses all around him.
‘At this level, we can advance time significantly.’
I’m always anxious.
A life that is nothing but a beautiful shell.
I sometimes have nightmares because I’m afraid that this smoke will be revealed at some point.
The moment when everyone turns their backs on the useless self.
And so, the sight of him dying alone in the pitch-black darkness.
And even the face of Kim Do-jin, who laughs and ridicules himself as he looks at it.
‘That can never be done… !’
It was a nightmare, but it was also a catalyst that stimulated his indolence.
He’s probably laughing even now.
How foolish I was to covet my old body for such a beautiful body.
So you have to show it.
‘My choice was not wrong.’
Otherwise, I feel like I’ll fall into a deep hole that I can never climb out of again.
“I can do it. We’ll do it. Must, must…”
While repeating this over and over again, he takes out a dagger from his chest.
A dagger with strange characters written on its blade.
Holding it backwards.
Phew-!
It is inserted directly into the heart of the corpse lying at the feet.
The letters engraved on the dagger that pierced the heart cast a soft light and drink the uncongealed blood.
Gulp
Gulp… !
As the corpse, which has had all its blood sucked out, dries and twists, the light leaking from the text disappears.
After confirming this and retrieving the dagger, he plunged it into the heart of another corpse.
Phew!
Phew!
Until all the corpses around them dry up.
Continue.
