Chapter 459 – Friend or Enemy (13)
She was a chariot.
A tank of destruction that ruthlessly tramples all obstacles in its path.
Both sides had to bear a slight penalty.
She was brainwashed and lost her autonomy, and I had to limit her mobility to block her path to Myungho Yoon.
If I had to decide which of them was more difficult…, I think it was mine.
“Whoa.”
There is not a single corner of the body that is healthy.
Her left shoulder blade was shattered when the mace passed through it.
Judging from the way his side is screaming, it looks like his ribs are not healthy.
In addition, the feeling in my arms that blocked the merciless attacks with ignorant strength has long since disappeared.
To summarize this:
“You’re screwed.”
It’s a crisis.
The broken twenty-ninth sword is thrown away, and the hand holding the thirtieth sword continues to tremble.
I don’t know because I’ve lost my senses.
When will this arm no longer hold up and fall off?
I guess it probably won’t last that long.
“Kaaaaa!”
It was time to force her sagging body to deal with her attacking her again.
“Stop all the movement!”
Seoyeon’s voice focuses the attention of the battlefield.
When she turned her head, she saw that his sword had sliced through Yoon Myeong-ho’s shoulder and was deeply embedded.
He even boldly grabbed the guy’s neck and even held up a dagger.
“Ooh, just move! If that happens, this guy will be heading straight for the goal! Got it?!”
I feel a sense of déjà vu from the shouting that follows.
It seems like I copied someone’s speaking style…, Who is it?
Anyway.
That’s not what’s important right now.
“… “I barely survived.”
Brainwashing.
An ability that is truly vicious yet so convenient that there is nothing better than this in dealing with people.
However, just as there is no perfect ability in this world, this also has its drawbacks.
The moment the subject of the ability is captured, everything becomes useless.
What…, To be exact, it may not be a shortcoming of the ability, but a shortcoming of the user who uses it.
Those who use mental interference-type abilities such as brainwashing are all obvious.
Put your own life first.
So, the moment their lives are taken, the brainwashed people become nothing.
Because such an important life has fallen into our hands.
“Tsk…, These damn bastards… !”
Angela is unable to rush in and just chews her lip.
Others were similar.
“Church, leader… !”
The fanatics who were pushing the Paladins are also at a loss.
I move my body, wanting to lie down right now, and head to Angela’s side.
“You guys will be punished from heaven, duh…” !”
She glares at her like she’s going to kill her and spits out her words full of resentment.
If you look at this, you can see how scary brainwashing is.
The woman who was swinging a mace to kill Myung-ho Yoon just a little while ago has become so loyal, right?
This is an ability I would like to use at least once.
Especially against arrogant and pretty women.
Haven’t we all fantasized at least once about manipulating and trampling on a woman whom we could never control at our level?
But a delusion is just a delusion.
In my opinion, brainwashing is the most boring ability in the world.
“We could have captured it like this.”
Women who are dominated by consistent ideology always show the same dead reaction.
It means going from a lively, bouncing human being to being reduced to a pretty doll that only moves as designed.
I don’t really like that.
Isn’t it true that each woman needs to show her own unique reaction to make it taste good?
In that sense, Angela raises considerable curiosity.
“Are you going to be rough in bed?”
Oops.
The thought of ending it just came out of my mouth without me realizing it.
Upon hearing this, Angela frowned and shook her head.
“Turn!”
I knew it would be like this.
She immediately turns her head to avoid her young spittle and smiles awkwardly.
“I was just a joke, joke.”
“Shut up, you dirty slut… !”
Um.
For all that, her face is too red.
The brainwashed mind feels contempt, but the body doesn’t feel bad.
I’m even more curious about the not-so-bad reaction.
What kind of man would like a woman like this wild lioness?
With a sinister delusion, she raises her hand and strikes it hard against her delicate neck.
Puck!
“Ugh… !”
Angela loses her mind and collapses with a scream of death.
After struggling to catch her as she falls like a piece of rotten wood, she gives her instructions to the paladins who are still confronting her fanatics.
“What are you doing? Instead of taking them all in.”
Although there were twists and turns, the operation was completed anyway.

Cleaning up after the battle was carried out with the help of the association.
It was a request made by the saint herself.
We will find out somehow after the operation is over.
When the battle was about to start, she said she would contact me in advance, and when I asked for support from the association, she came running as if she had been waiting.
Thanks to this, I ended up facing another crisis.
“Is it Mr. Dojin again…? .”
Ji-an Yun, who came out to apply with me, spots me and rolls her eyes with a cold expression.
It would be absurd.
I understand too.
How absurd would it be to have a familiar face appear every time I apply for something serious.
But I find it absurd as well.
“… Is Jian the only person in the association? “Why do they always come out to help?”
Why are you always there when something happens?
Even though it’s not work hours, you can rest at home at least once.
Then she sighs softly.
“I deliberately volunteered because I thought Dojin would be there.”
“…”
“I was hoping my prediction was wrong, but sure enough, Mr. Dojin is here again.”
Her eyes travel up and down my body.
“… “You were injured again.”
The injuries sustained while dealing with Angela have recovered to some extent through treatment from the priests.
But the traces remain intact.
A suit that was brutally torn, blood stains here and there, etc.
I hastily try to make an excuse.
“That…, I was only injured, right?”
“I guess so. “The A-tier suit made by a high-end brand was torn.”
“… “He sacrificed himself to protect his master.”
“What a noble suit. So, did the suit spill the blood on your body?”
“…”
It’s a failure.
Actually, I don’t feel sorry for her.
She wasn’t good at communicating, and every time we met, she looked hurt.
She lets out a deep sigh and says her shocking words.
“Under…, I don’t think it can go on like this.”
An ominous tone that seems to signal the end of the relationship between men and women.
She seemed to be thinking deeply about something for a moment, but then she continued speaking.
“I will quit the association.”
“… ?”
I did say it was over.
But not with me, but with the association?
Her explanation continues.
“I realized that the only thing I could do at the association was taken care of Do-jin, who kept getting injured.”
“Uh…, So?”
Yoon Ji-an strides forward, her bob hair flowing from her shoulder.
Before we know it, she has come to the place where our breaths meet, and she gives us a passionate look.
“From now on, I will be with Mr. Dojin.”
“Oh…”
Is this really a proposal?
“From now on, I will manage Mr. Dojin’s schedule.”
Wow.
“That means… ?”
“Yes, the personal assistant you suggested last time…, I will take charge of it.”
This is what she thought about every time she saw her.
A cool-headed expression, an elegant yet somewhat sexy suit, and a thorough personality.
And yet, to me, it is a bit soft.
She said there would be no one better suited to be her personal assistant.
Of course, I’m not just asking about the work aspect.
“If you become my personal assistant, you will have to handle many things other than official work… “Are you okay?”
Such kind of days with a pretty secretary.
Isn’t this a delusion that every man dreams of at least once?
She answered the question with a slight blush on her face.
“That one too…, We will manage it very thoroughly.”
“Uh, um.”
I didn’t want it that far.
The strange smile on her lips made me anxious about the future.

Myeong-ho Yoon, a brainwasher whose shoulder was torn by Seo-yeon Son, was temporarily confined in the basement of the association immediately after receiving first aid.
Angela, who was still not brainwashed, was temporarily confined by wearing specially designed triple and quadruple restraints while she was unconscious.
I feel sorry for her, but she had no choice but to do it.
The moment she frees herself from her restraints and goes on a rampage in Seoul, the damage to her will become uncontrollable.
Hundreds of hunters who had been brainwashed by Yoon Myeong-ho and acted as believers quickly arranged a location, set it up as a temporary camp, and crowded them all in.
After discussing how to treat them, they plan to reclassify them or something.
There are still many difficult issues to be solved, but Kim Do-jin and Son Seo-yeon, who first sorted out the situation, faced the saint through the screen of the Orthodox Church.
-“I can’t believe Angela got hurt…” .”
She was in great shock.
Angela is one of the most talented people among the Guardians.
The fact that they were brainwashed even with a preparedness plan in place means that Brainwasher’s power was stronger than they expected.
In response, she bowed her head in a solemn manner and offered an apology.
-“I’m so sorry, you two. “This is entirely my responsibility.”
If I had made a mistake, the worst could have happened.
Angela falls into the hands of the enemy, and the apostle of temperance and strong helper die.
It’s truly a terrible situation that I don’t even want to imagine.
-“And thank you. Thanks to you two, I was able to avoid the worst situation.”
She bows her head once again
To this, Kim Do-jin shook her head and answered.
“You don’t have to be too sorry. “How easy is it to fully understand the enemy’s strength?”
In a hunter’s work, variables are like constants.
This means that it happens anytime and in any way.
Same thing this time.
It’s just that a variable that could have happened at any time has exploded.
Of course, it was dangerous because the variables were too large to be dismissed as a simple matter.
It was well worth it.
“I’m fine as long as you keep your promise.”
Kim Do-jin smiles and continues speaking.
The reward for this operation is none other than Elixir.
For this purpose, it was a risk worth taking.
At that sight, the saint smiled quietly beyond her veil.
-“I think recruiting Hunter Kim Do-jin to the Guardians was the best thing I’ve done recently.”
Truly high praise.
Her eyes turned to Son Seo-yeon, who was sitting quietly next to Kim Do-jin.
-“Oh, of course, the same goes for Apostle Seoyeon Son.”
A smile spreads across Son Seo-yeon’s lips.
“Oh, no. Compared to Dojin, I…”
Kim Do-jin, who wraps his arm around her shoulder as she speaks humbly, intercepts her words.
“If it weren’t for our apostle, we would all have died. So here too…, You know?”
Kim Do-jin grins and subtly demands compensation.
The saint smiled and answered with both hands and feet.
-“… Of course. “We also plan to provide sufficient compensation to Apostle Seoyeon Son.”
He is truly a strange man.
Sometimes he acts like a person without the slightest greed, and other times he is extremely greedy.
She laughed for a moment at his unpredictable personality, but soon expressed her concerns in a worried tone.
-“Anyway, I’m worried… “Angela and other victims need to escape from her brainwashing as soon as possible.”
“I guess so.”
This was a difficult problem that was causing not only her but also her Hunter Association headaches.
If we want to treat them as victims, not criminals, we have to somehow remove their brainwashing.
However, Brain Washer has remained silent for several days.
You know it too.
That is my last remaining bargaining chip.
However, Kim Do-jin had no intention of handing over the initiative to her opponent.
“Don’t worry.”
He changed after getting this body.
I can’t even imagine what it was like in the past.
But there was one thing that didn’t change.
That is, heinous criminals like Brainwasher are never treated like human beings.
“I will talk carefully.”
As he spoke loudly, he smiled sinisterly.
