Chapter 188 – Chapter 188
“What is that…”
Everyone is surprised by my remarks.
Yes it can only be
Because the president who ate at least 50 is said to be a transcendental person out of the blue.
“Nonsense. Too ugly for a transcendent…”
Park Yu-ri’s gaze sharply turned to her at the thoughtless remark of her mobile writing.
As she hurriedly shut her mouth, Park Yu-ri let out a sigh and again bombarded me with her questions.
But I’m not even sure if it’s true or not.
“It’s what he said, so I don’t know. It could be a lie…”
If it’s true, it might be a bit embarrassing.
After hearing strange words from the president, Park Yu-ri might turn against me again.
Then it would be really annoying.
Other than that, the stories I heard were disturbing, but…
“Anyway, if what he said is true, it means the president is still alive, so calm down. He didn’t say that after he’s already killed. Even if we don’t find the president in the future, won’t he come out on his own soon?”
Before his death, he spoke to me as if his main enemy was the President.
As if at the center of all the intrigue he is not himself, but the president.
But do I really have to tell Park Yu-ri about this?
While I was pondering in my head, Yuri Park urged me to see if she had organized her thoughts in her mind.
“So, what do you plan to do in the future? Is it the end now that you’ve got that woman back? If so, I’ll move alone from now on.”
“What are you doing? I haven’t found Hwa-yeon’s family yet…”
If everything he said is true, he still has a lot of work to do.
Oh, it’s frustrating.
“Haha… I’ll just tell you everything.”
After thinking about what to do, I finally decided to tell him the story he told me before he died.
Except for things related to the secrets of my powers.
***
Here’s what I heard before he died.
He had the same unique constitution as me, Mana Zero, so he was subjected to various experiments at the laboratory as a test subject.
Just like Park Yuri.
And it is said that the chief executive in charge of the research was the current president, who is known to have gone missing.
Of course he must have been before he became president at the time.
“Go ahead.”
“I couldn’t understand. Why did they experiment with me, who had no mana at all, and what kind of benefit it would be to mankind. But he always comforted me. He said that I have infinite potential…”
“Hmm?”
“Did you notice? He knew even before I had this strange ability like you. He could use a person like me… With no mana in his body to create a terrifying human weapon.”
“What the hell are you talking about? Be more specific.”
“Capsule…”
I wasn’t too surprised when the word capsule first came out of his mouth.
Since I realized the existence of a person with the same ability as mine, I had roughly expected that I would not be the only one to know the existence of that mysterious capsule.
But how did the president find out about this?
“Then you got that ability… No way?”
“That’s right. The one who injected me with the capsule was the current president, not anyone else. Judging from your reaction, you’re different from me. How did you get it? Did you accidentally pick it up in a dungeon? Heck heck…”
“…”
“… I can’t believe it’s real… What a lucky guy he is.”
“Noisy. So, could it be that the president had zero mana like us? Besides, he has the same abilities as us?”
Of course I thought so.
If you were a person who knew the existence of capsules and knew their effects, wouldn’t it be easy to give them to others?
Even if the test subject becomes a monster, if you don’t have the confidence that you can control it 100%, you can’t do such crazy things…
“No. The president was an ordinary human being who did not even wake up.”
“What?”
“However, after I received the capsule, I found out that his potential was 7, and I made him a transcendental person myself.”
It couldn’t have been a really absurd story.
The fact that the president was actually a transcendent person, but the person who made it that way was this guy.
I was seduced by his words from the dying man, and his mind became complicated.
It wasn’t just one or two things I wanted to ask.
However, his life was about to end, and what I was most curious about was this too.
“Yes. They say everything you say is true. Then how the hell did the president get the capsule? How did he find out what it was for? Ah! You said you made him a transcendent? How did you increase the synchronization rate? Between the same men.”
As the number of questions I asked increased, he collapsed on the floor, looking up at the ceiling with blank eyes and smiling lightly.
When I saw that, even the small faith that seemed like a thread was on the verge of disappearing.
But can it be
He was the only person who could satisfy my curiosity right now.
“Say it quickly, son of a bitch!”
“…”
The guy who spit out a few more stories at my urging eventually lost his life before holding out for long.
As expected, they used their own blood to manufacture pills for the purpose of increasing the synchronization rate, and that the manufacturing facility was that building inside this gate.
And that the person who taught me all of that is the president.
“Haa… After all, that was the only thing related to the capsule.”
Whatever it was, I had no choice but to meet the president in person and ask him.
Whether all or part of the words he uttered were true or false.
In the end, I had no choice but to understand that the last will he left behind was pointing to the direction I should move in the future.
***
I told my colleagues everything I heard from him, except for the capsule, which is the source of my mysterious ability.
Even in the midst of everyone who heard this, my gaze was fixed only on Park Yu-ri’s face, and I carefully observed her subtle changes in expression.
It also seems difficult to accept.
If I were told that the person I thought was my benefactor was actually the culprit behind all the incidents, and that it was he who had gouged out one of my eyes and planted a monster there, even I would not believe it right away.
Aside from Park Yu-ri, who had a complicated expression on her face, Ahn opened her mouth, pointing at her corpse, which he had thrown under her pit.
“Is that a believable story? The president used that guy’s power to try to take over everything, and that guy who noticed everything belatedly moved against him? So it sounds like he’s on the side of justice?”
Hong Eun-young also helped the senior’s remarks.
“That’s right. In fact, the person who tried to shake the Republic of Korea is actually the missing… No, the president who hid himself under the guise of disappearance, and those people are saying that they moved the opposing camp to prevent it… To say that he is a trash lawmaker Na Il-pyo doesn’t match. There must have been decent politicians, but to choose that trash person…”
“Hmm… I don’t believe what he said right away, but eventually the truth will come out sooner or later. If it’s all the president’s plot, he’ll soon appear in front of everyone as a miraculously resurrected hero. Before the upcoming election begins. …”
In the first place, whether or not his remarks were true, even if he was an apostle of justice who appeared to save mankind, he deserved to die the moment he touched me and my comrades.
He wasn’t in a situation where he had to stand on either side of childishly judging good and evil.
The most important thing is to keep me and the people around me safe.
For now, I am satisfied with just getting Baekhwayeon safely back.
“Let’s go back at once.”
The conversation that our answer was not decided ended like that, and for now, we decided to go home with everyone.
Of course, it will be after hurriedly examining the suspicious building in front of you.
Now that the boss of the strongest enemy has been sorted out, all you have to do is collect information to find the whereabouts of Baek Hwa-yeon’s family and wait for the president to appear.
No matter how great they appear, in the end they are transcendental.
You will never be my opponent.
I already heard and know why it was difficult to deal with the president, who was only a transcendent, even though he had level 4 authority stronger than me.
Anyway, smart guys always try to take advantage of others.
“Oh, is there anything I need to do before that?”
“What?”
“Is there still work left to do?”
Everyone’s eyes focused on me.
I’m sorry, but there is only one person on the business right now.
“Oh, it’s nothing. Everyone, please go out first and wait. Everyone knows that we have to keep it secret no matter what the government officials ask, right?”
“Of course. Whatever it is, if it gets into the ears of that sneaky president, it’ll be a headache.”
“Okay. Then, everyone, please go to the ground and wait.
“Me, just me…?”
Baek Hwa-yeon had a very embarrassed face.
On the other hand, the facial expressions of other women do not have demons.
“Haa… That pervert… It’s as obvious as it looks…”
“The team leader is pervert.”
“No, what the hell are you misunderstanding? I don’t know who the pervert is! I’m just trying to test Baek Hwa-yeon’s new abilities. I can’t test the abilities of a transcendent in the middle of the city!”
“Ah~ I’m sure you’re familiar with it. Ehh… Seeing Hwayeon-sshi in a long time, close your eyes.”
“You must have been in a lot of pain because you were kidnapped, but do it in moderation. The whereabouts of your family members are still unclear.”
“Oh well, no!”
Everyone who was misunderstanding like that passed through the gate and only me and Baek Hwa-yeon remained.
As Hong Eun-young said, she really had no intention of doing anything against her, who had not yet recovered her family.
It’s just that we share the reunion we couldn’t have before.
“Come this way.”
“Yes…”
I hugged her tightly
I’m really glad that he was unharmed and unharmed.
I said while holding her tightly in case this stupid expression would be noticed.
“I’m so glad you came back safely.”
“… Yes…”
Her sobs carry over my shoulders.
Solving the hoepo is a bit later.
He quietly patted her back and returned her mana.
For now, I really just want to see her new abilities.
“It’s late, but congratulations on becoming a transcendentalist. Can you show me?”
After a while.
Wiping her tears, Baek Hwa-yeon seemed a little embarrassed and poured her magical energy into the bow she held in her hand.
I admired her with the same gaze as if I were looking at her son who got a job after all her hard work.
Whatever it was, I finally succeeded in getting my precious comrade back like this.
It’s a bit of a sorry story for her who hasn’t got her family back yet, but I think I’ll get a good night’s sleep tonight for the first time in a long time.
