Chapter 111 – Terrorism (3)
Terrorism is a word with a much broader scope than it seems.
In some cases, the death of one or two civilians is considered terrorism.
But most citizens wouldn’t think so.
When it comes to terrorism, it is common perception to imagine massacres using guns, bombs, airplanes, vehicles, or biological and chemical weapons.
Unfortunately, the terrorism we are currently undercover has a very high probability of developing into that kind of genocide.
It makes no sense to wield a cleaver in the street with this amount of people and money.
It’s good if you don’t get suppressed by a passing hunter even if you do such a thing.
I, who was lying around in the camouflage accommodation with Seo Ji-yu, gave a rough explanation of the situation.
“If you classify terrorism by suspect, you can largely divide it into three types. However, this is my subjective point of view, and terrorism that feels like a simple retaliation crime is excluded.”
“Okay. What’s the first one? The one with nothing to lose?”
“Oh, that’s correct.”
I gave a small round of applause to Seo Ji-yu’s prediction.
First. Terror committed in desperation by those who have nothing more to lose.
Usually, these cases do not have a grand mission or propaganda.
There are many cases of simply committing terrorism for the purpose of suicide or interest.
Since the terrorism in the first case was not particularly thoroughly planned or planned, it is common for no one to die or to give up or run away in failure.
Currently, the Republic of Korea has developed a lot of resistance to terrorism, so it is correct to assume that it is not our turn to step forward if this is an incident like this.
“Actually, it’s quite difficult to properly plan and execute terrorism. It’s not like guns are just rolling around in Korea.”
Terrorism is an act that denies both the environment and society in which one grew up, and incurs public indignation by getting innocent civilians caught up in it.
There are two main types of endings. During the terrorism, you die together, or you are imprisoned.
Neither is a very attractive option.
Besides, if you go to jail for terrorism, it’s hard to be treated well.
“It’s not easy for a person to be that badly crooked.”
“It’s probably hard to apply to this case. Then what about the second one?”
“An act of terrorism driven by religious fanaticism. This side is also quite a headache.”
However, it is difficult to intentionally induce the second case.
Most of these people have received an education close to brainwashing since childhood, or have devoted themselves to pseudo-religions.
In this case, I don’t see any religious overtones yet, so it can be ruled out early.
I know roughly how it feels because I got involved with the pseudos once during the Perpetual Church incident.
“This is the third and last case… Terrorism carried out systematically and systematically with a clear idea and purpose.”
In the previous terrorist rally, it seems that there is a clear organizational ideology called Anti-Hunter.
That’s why I’m taking this matter so seriously.
“Terrorism is not necessarily a crime committed by low-educated, low-income people. Especially if you are the leader of the third case, it’s not strange to have at least one degree.”
“Okay. Then what are you going to do now?”
“It’s no fun if you tell me in advance.”
Seo Ji-yu’s face sulked at the slightly insincere answer.
She does n’t doubt her acting skills her, but if she does n’t know the strategy at all, she can’t even casually express it.
However, she decided to give a clue.
“It would be ideal if all members of the terrorist organization were in the third case, but in reality, that can’t be the case. There are very few people with that level of ability and strong will. Should I say the owner of the ?”
No matter what kind of propaganda you put on it, in the end, terrorism is an act of running straight toward the end.
From the point of view of the individual who executes terrorism, it is just ruin.
Even planning or foretelling terrorism, let alone executing it, is a serious crime.
Since it is directly against the national organization, the punishment is bound to be strong.
If there were many people who could lead such an organization, the world would be very different.
Of course, there is no guarantee that the change will be positive.
Seo Ji-yu did not ask any further, as if he had caught on to my explanation.
After that, we deliberately took a break and set up a suitable day to participate in the meeting.
The place we were watching seems to be the base, but this time the meeting is held in a different place.
I couldn’t help but admire it slightly from the start.
“By the way, what is the name of this meeting?”
“There is no name. Just call it a gathering. It seems that giving it a name makes it easier to be tracked. At worst, it could be marked by the Special Forces or the police.”
“Oh, I see.”
I also thought I was incredibly skilled.
Seo Ji-yu trembled slightly next to me.
I realized that the company I was working for didn’t have a name for the same reason.
As soon as we entered the venue, a body search began.
“Keep your smartphone outside and pass it through a metal detector.”
“It’s serious.”
“As you know, Yeongchan-ssi, there are a lot of people who have gone through various hardships. There are a few Hunters among the members of the group, but they are all good people, so I hope you get along well.”
“Ah, I don’t care. If it’s a comrade who’s been hurt by the Hunters…”
I was barely noticing this.
To fight against hunters without a hunter is not brave, but ignorant and stupid.
We passed the magic sensor and finally entered the venue.
At first glance, it looks like an ordinary celebration, but people’s faces were extremely hardened.
Most of them didn’t even touch the food and just chugged the drink.
‘If Tia saw it, she would have made a fuss about it.’
Having come this far means that you are a core member of the group in your own way.
I was able to get there relatively quickly thanks to my disguise as a person of wealth and social influence.
‘Looks like you’ve got quite a bit of money for your activities. Are there any sponsors besides me?’
Seeing that they even brought a magic sensor earlier, it seems that they have connections in the hunter industry.
The attendees gathered in twos and threes and vented their anger among themselves.
The atmosphere of endlessly cursing the hunters, the association, and the government somehow resembled a pseudo-religion.
“I was living on an island, and it took an hour for the hunters to dispatch. So most of the residents… “
“As soon as the raid was over, the building collapsed, and they said they didn’t know.”
“I’ve been living in Seoul for 20 years, but I don’t have an apartment of my own. The hunter industry is also a structure where only those who make money make money.”
The atmosphere is about to explode at any moment because of the accumulated resentment.
I laughed and joined their ranks.
After all, most of the personnel were the first cases.
People who lost everything because of the Association and the Hunters, and only had to bear the resentment of having lost their way.
And there was a man who skillfully moved around and caught the wind among them.
He galvanized the crowds by releasing articles and stories about relatively recently caught hunter criminals… That is, the ones I had captured.
“Members, this is an independence movement. We will liberate our country, Korea, from the hunters!”
“Oh oh…”
No one here dared to say the word ‘terror’.
Because it felt like some kind of blasphemy.
A painful meeting that reminds each other of resentment.
The representative of the meeting threw out a sympathetic voice from time to time.
“You shouldn’t think of high-ranking hunters as the same human race. Is there any human race that can survive being shot? Two different species can never coexist on an equal footing. Above all, keep them in check. Politicians and associations who do not have policies in place are the biggest sinners.”
Seo Ji-yu and I clapped so hard that our hands went numb in half.
From my point of view, it is not possible to carry out the work with the number of people gathered in this venue right now.
No matter how many people gather together, the information will only leak out.
Perhaps only a few selected by the representative will be able to participate in the real rally.
I held the hand of the president who approached me with tears in his eyes for his unborn son.
“This…This gathering is exactly what my wife and I were looking for.”
“Thank you so much for saying that. Our group will fight for all those who suffer from the Hunters.”
The CEO held my hand and laughed, but I felt a sense of incongruity in his acting.
It’s obviously great acting, but this guy probably isn’t really the boss.
Seo Ji-yu nodded her head very slightly as if he had judged that.
I decided to start working slowly at this point.
“CEO. Do you get any kind of donation?”
“Sponsorships? Of course, funds are needed for this kind of movement, but I know that the members have already given enough money…”
“Because I originally had some real estate… It’s the same money I earned because of the hunters and monsters, so I think it’s appropriate to spend it on good things like this.”
Since the beginning of the Great Hunter era, house prices in Seoul have skyrocketed.
Living in a safe place is a natural desire of everyone, but isn’t there a safer place in Korea than Seoul?
I lowered my voice and whispered to him.
“First of all, about 3 billion right now…”
“You mean 3.3 billion? Members… We will definitely make this a success.”
The eyes of the representative who were constantly burning with the desire for revolution.
It was instantly colored with golden greed.
The light quickly faded, but Seo Ji-yu and I did not miss it.
Seo Ji-yu finally caught on when she saw me suddenly spending money.
“T-T, Chief. No way…”
“Jiyu. Most terrorists are in the first category. Even if you are full and have a place to lie down, it becomes difficult to make an extreme choice like terrorism.”
If you get a job, how many people will continue to go to college?
Yes.
I will make the members of the group task of terrorism drop out on their own.
That was the true identity of the operation name grouping task.
“No matter how hard we try, we can’t bring the dead back to life, but we give houses to the homeless and honor to those who want honor. Of course, we’ll take revenge for them. If everyone is happy, why would we commit terrorism?”
“Eek…”
“As soon as you get back, get an apartment and remember all the criminals you talked about here. Let’s see how long these guys can last.”
“Are you really going to give me an apartment or something?”
“Don’t worry. Just joining a terrorist organization is an unconditional prison sentence. Real estate assets are also judged as criminal proceeds and returned later.”
Seo Ji-yu was shocked by my explanation.
I hugged her so that she looked like she was crying.
