Became the Husband of a Retired No. 1 Hunter 34

Chapter 34 – The Perpetual Church (5)

So far, arresting the perpetrators hasn’t been such a big deal.

The guys the special forces have caught so far are not the ones who are punished by the law, but rather the ones who cleverly use the law.
Therefore, they were confident in their own court fight.
Of course, during the Golden Shield Incident, he borrowed the power of Yeriel.

But this time it’s different.
First of all, I can’t borrow Yeriel’s power.
She was on a business trip for a charity event.
It’s a bit sorry to hold on to someone who has retired in the first place.

In preparation for such an occasion, I have supplied the latest combat uniforms and green dust warheads.
But when it happened, I wondered if that would be enough.

It is almost certain that Youngsokkyo Kim Woo-min is a leader with mental abilities.
The quality of the crime is so bad that life imprisonment is basic and can even go to the death penalty.
It won’t be until the execution, but it’s certain that if you are arrested, you will never see the sunlight for the rest of your life.
There are followers who are willing to give their lives for him, so it is certain that he will try to escape.

I expected that much too, but…
When I saw Kim Woo-min’s aids appearing on stage, I felt my confidence disappear.

‘Why are there so many A’s?’

The hunters who appeared before Kim Woo-min were of a much higher level than I expected.
Considering Alice’s skills, it could be assumed that there are no B ranks or lower, but even just A rank is too many.
Moreover, it is clear that they will attack regardless of fire due to the influence of brainwashing, so it is right to rate them higher than usual.
Alice knew that too, so she glanced at me and expressed disapproval.
By the way, the guys were also naked as if it was very natural.

“Welcome everyone.”
“Ah…”
“Professor! Teacher, please take a look at this side!”
“Master Kim Woo-min!”

Soon after, when Kim Woo-min, the religious leader, appeared, the followers fell into a frenzy.
They look like children trying to get a little more attention.
If it wasn’t for the hunters who were guarding the stage first, it would have been difficult to control.

I clicked my tongue inwardly at the real thing, which was significantly different from the material I had seen in advance.
The picture is a bit old, but even taking that into account, the impression has changed a lot.

‘Your appearance is not perfect, so you are above average. Did you lose weight in that time?’

Kim Woo-min, who was alone in a white suit, took off even that before long.
After revealing a body that was quite acceptable, he began his long speech.
Aside from the obvious promise of eternal life in the afterlife, his oratorical skills were quite high.

‘Still, it’s much shorter than the principal’s instruction.’

As I recalled my school days, memories of which had faded, the speech ended soon.
In the first place, special meetings are held on a biweekly basis, but it would be hard to talk for a long time each time.

Up until this point, it could have been seen as a rather peculiar pseudo-religion, but from now on, it becomes a problem.
The followers of Youngsokkyo changed noticeably as soon as Kim Woo-min appeared.
Previously, the influence of brainwashing had not been revealed properly… But now it was even showing the appearance of a lack of vocabulary.

“Ah, Reverend. You come to us… Come to us?”
“Reverend! Reverend! Reverend I…”

The frenzied believers only calmed down after the leader raised his hand.
I barely noticed the situation as my hair was tingling and trembling.

‘Did he use his ability?’

Alice and I were immune to the ability thanks to the green dust, but the others were still affected by it.
Alice, who wants to start arresting as soon as possible.
But I gave the wait signal.
I still don’t know exactly what abilities he used.

In the meantime, the gyoju talked with the believers in a rather friendly manner.
Of course, even so, the believers kept their respectful attitude while prostrated in front of the stage.
I clicked my tongue inwardly once again, overhearing his crafty speech.

It looks like he’s giving some sort of work order, but he didn’t even give that order directly.
After saying something like ‘I wish it was like this,’ he only nods slightly when the believers say they will do it themselves.
He was, after all, a terribly cautious guy.

“What are you doing? Won’t you catch me?”
“Not yet. There are too many A ranks. If they run amok, are you confident that you can subdue them all by yourself?”
“…”

Alice couldn’t bear to say that.
During the course of the investigation, I cannot openly use my abilities as Green Dust.
It will be some time before the rush team waiting outside arrives on the scene.
At least I don’t know if there is any equipment, but right now both Alice and I are naked.

Still, there is hope.
Strong alcohol was being consumed everywhere in the venue where the special meeting was being held.
After Kim Woo-min appeared, even cigarettes and drugs that looked like hemp could be seen.

‘Perhaps to increase the effect of brainwashing.’

Because of this, even if you preach so hard, the number of believers cannot exceed 10,000.
If you wait a while like this, most of them will go out on their own.
Even the hunters who act as escorts are affected by it.

“There might still be more Hunters. I’m glad I found them early.”
“Really? Where the hell are you looking?”
“Right now, these guys are treated as a pseudo-religion, but when they grow bigger and become a corporation, they could be treated as one of the Christian sects. Then we can’t even touch them.”

In fact, there are numerous pseudo-religions that have risen in that way.
At that point, you can’t even call it pseudo.
If the leader’s ability had been a little more skillful, it might have been like that a long time ago.

While we were talking quietly.
After roughly speaking with the existing followers, the religious turned leader his attention to the relatively newcomers.
Alice and I were the only ones who entered the church for the first time, but there were several other believers who attended the special meeting for the first time.

“The believers who have dedicated themselves to me, the church, and God and Jesus. From now on, I will baptize myself. Please welcome all new families.”
“Ah, ah… Thank you. Thank you very much!”

I hardened my face slightly when I saw the baptismal bath.
I don’t know because the smell was mixed, but it felt like a mixture of something a bit cloudy in color. Maybe a drug to cloud your mind.
Why do you do that to the general public? At this point, I’m a little respectful.

‘Is it brainwashing by touching the subject’s head during baptism?’

I’m still a bit uncertain, but I was wondering if I could leave it as it is.
Suddenly, the headmaster’s eyes came out and touched Alice.
He was slightly surprised to see us and asked his entourage.

“By the way, who are these people?”
“These are the first believers to join today.”
“I see. You are very welcome. You were a little embarrassed to attend the meeting from the first day, right?”
“That… It’s not like that. It’s kind of strange.”

When I stuttered back, the teacher smiled broadly.
After all, we were nothing more than a gift for him.
By the way, he didn’t really look at Alice, but didn’t he suddenly come in front of me?
As the religious leader moved personally, the eyes of the followers were very stingy.

“You have a very beautiful and wonderful body. You two are a couple, right?”
“That’s right.”
“As expected. There should be more wonderful couples like this in the world.”

The teacher, who had been talking nonsense, suddenly closed the distance dangerously.
I was embarrassed but couldn’t run away, but suddenly he grabbed my shoulder.

“But the relationship between a man and a woman is not the whole world. Wife, may I borrow your husband for a moment?”
“Yes, yes?”

The naked Alice opened her mouth in a daze, forgetting even her shame.
The leader’s question had a sexual meaning to it.
I screamed inwardly, feeling goose bumps all over my body.

Oh my God, it was a man too.
There was a reason why the believers suddenly changed their attitude when they saw my body earlier.
It seems that the head of the school has more taste in me than Alice.
I’m still not sure, I’m still far from sure, but I cried out hysterically as I and Alice pulled away from him.

“Ki, Kim Woo-min! It’s the Hunter Association’s special investigation team. We’re urgently arresting you on charges of falsifying your Hunter rank and forgery!”
“What?”
“The headmaster is in danger!”

Before Kim Woo-min could react, his aids moved reflexively.
Not only that, but the followers who were far away also began to emit a level of life that made their skin tremble.
While Alice closes her eyes tightly next to me.
I compulsorily advised surrender.

“The rush team is already waiting outside. It’s no use trying to escape from here!”
“…”

Unlike the criminals so far, the priest didn’t bother to catch it.
Anyway, it ends at the point where the association suspects it.
That’s all.
Once arrested, it is the existence of a special investigator that can make crimes that do not exist.

But he did not surrender meekly.
When I removed the taping I used to fix my eyes, he managed to recognize me.

“I thought I’d seen it somewhere… He was the husband of the famous Jeriel Frost. Somehow, he was a nice guy.”
“Kim Woo-min, surrender obediently!”
“Would you like it?”

Kim Woo-min gave a very persuasive reply and winked at the followers.
Then, hesitation lingered in Alice’s eyes as she hurriedly tried to activate her ability.
There were ordinary believers inside the room who had not yet been affected by Kim Woo-min’s ability.
Besides, the already brainwashed guy told me to give up… But that couldn’t be easier said than done.

“…”

Looking back at Alice in the midst of my urgency, I felt a strong sense of guilt.
Can I really pass this role on to her?
In the first place, if those guys didn’t spare themselves and attacked, even Alice’s chances would be slim.
Completely outnumbered, they were already surrounded.

In addition, as I guessed, the guards who were waiting outside the venue also rushed to hear the commotion.
I let out a small sigh and decided to break my stubbornness just this time.

“Hey, release this!”

Hunters in ranks were slowly approaching us. Alice noticed the abnormality and called out to me.
Because my ability was already activated, I couldn’t use her ability.
Instead of releasing it, I increased the output drastically.

“You stay still.”
“What?”
“Kim Woo-min’s ability is to make the target blindly depend on him. You can see that by looking at other followers.”

Kim Woo-min looked at me with a bewildered expression as I made the dust sculpture I drew in my hand.
I completely ignored his restraint and let the green dust run wild in my hand.

“Now, wait. That’s it?”

Wow!

As the green light swept through the room, the eyes of the devotees returned a little.
However, the siege surrounding us was seldom resolved.
Only then did Kim Woo-min realize my true identity and smiled.

“Green Dust? Green Dust by the Association’s Special Investigator? Haha,haha! This is a masterpiece! But it’s no use to me!”

I knew.
Kim Woo-min’s ability permanently transforms the target’s brain.
The resulting adverse effects cannot be erased with green dust.

However, with this, the usual precise adjustments became impossible.
I looked back at the believers who had all stopped their movements and let out a gloomy mood.

“Your followers love you. You made them that way.”
“… Well?”
“By the way, love doesn’t always have a positive side.”

As soon as I finished my words, the believers looked back at Kim Woo-min in unison.
He sensed that something was wrong and his body trembled.
What will happen from now on is Kim Woo-min’s self-employed gain.

“Church… Lord…”
“Master, Master!”
“I love you! Father of all!”

Next moment.
The followers passed us by and rushed at Kim Woo-min.
The guys who were fiercely fighting for a position soon began tearing Kim Woo-min alive.

“Ah, ahhh! Mmm, stop! Stop!”

Kim Woo-min, who had one eye gouged out in the blink of an eye, let out a desperate scream, but the believers did not stop.
Their frontal lobes were severely damaged, and they were already in a state where they could not properly realize human emotions and logic.
It was the result of Kim Woo-min manipulating them to make them easier to use.

“Ah, teacher!”
“Go away! The headmaster’s nose is mine!”
“Kyaaaaagh!”

Puck, quadduk…

Abi Kyu-hwan kicks, beats, and tears each other without hesitation in order to take even one piece of Kim Woo-min!
Alice watched it blankly, completely frozen.
Feeling a great sense of guilt, I stood in front of the believers who were at least in good shape.
