Chapter 127 – Appearance
127. Appearance.
“Lee Seong-chul, step back!!”
Back off! Back off!
“Lee Seong-cheol, the main culprit of the rebellion, resign immediately!!”
Resign! Resign!
A huge plaza in the center of District 1. Thousands of people were demonstrating there. It was a protest against Lee Seong-cheol, who was dictatorship by himself.
It was a rare scene in Corinne, who usually thought of the best members as gods.
“As you can see, thousands of people are protesting. Perhaps, it is because of the recently released video of Provisional President Lee Seong-cheol.”
In this rare phenomenon, reporters and broadcasting streamers also came out and relayed them.
Recently, videos showing Lee Seong-cheol leading a rebellion have been popping up on various platform sites. Of course, it was deleted as soon as it went up, but it was spreading to people in an instant.
“Lee Seong-cheol, who is trying to sell Corin to Charin, step back immediately!”
Back off!! Back off!!
In fact, this was the work of Yeon-hee Yeon and Congressman Kim, who were hiding in a hideout. No matter how much they ran away, they were still one of the most powerful people in Corinne. He had the strength to do something like this.
But…
“Lee Seong-cheol, the dictator, immediately steps down from the position of Provisional President… “
Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep!
“Omg… Those are combat robots… !!”
Lee Seong-chul began to ruthlessly suppress the demonstrators.
Puck-! Puck-! Puck-! Puck-!
“Ouch… Uh, what are you doing… !”
“The robots are attacking!!”
They didn’t shoot, but the roughly two-meter combat robots swung their clubs at people.
Regardless of gender or age. Of course, I didn’t care whether it was a reporter or a streamer.
“Oh, everyone… ! See now… Yes? Bar, the broadcast was cut off… !!”
“I, I also broadcast… !”
“Omg… ! Ooh, it comes to us too… !!”
Puck-! Puck-! Puck-! Puck-!
Combat robots assaulted people relentlessly, and began arresting those who fell one by one.
“Seongcheol Lee… ! Even if you… Gagging… !”
“Sah, save me!!”
“Mom!!”
In fact, it was Lee Seong-cheol who held all the power of Korin alone, so he could do it. In an instant, the square was stained with blood. Of course, there were controls around to prevent such scenes from being posted on the platform.
“Really… Lee Seong-chul, that crazy guy… Hurry up and upload this scene as well.”
“Yes. Radio interference is severe, but… It seems possible.”
However, hackers prepared by Congressman Yeon-hee Yeon secretly filmed and uploaded these scenes.
Of course, as soon as I upload it again, it will go down immediately. But… Some people will see this and start sharing.
“However… Will our actions work… ?”
“Maybe… It won’t have a big effect. But you still have to do it. Can’t Corin be taken away by Charin…? ?”
“Yeah, that’s right… ? But even if everyone rises up in Corinth… There was talk that Charin would come with an army… ”
“That… Let’s think about it later.”
“Yes… “
They didn’t have high expectations either. However, they believed in Yeon-hee Yeon, whom they served. I don’t know why, but sometimes she would put on a look full of hope. And that look gave them strength.
“I uploaded it.”
“Okay, let’s quickly upload it to another site.”
“Yes.”
There were more and more people who were against Lee Seong-cheol. Even if there were no direct protests like now, the number of people sharing videos or swearing at Lee Seong-cheol online was rapidly increasing.
Of course, Lee Seong-cheol didn’t budge. All because he had Charin on his back.

“Sister! I am hungry!”
“Wait. I will cook you a delicious meal.”
“Alas! I’ll be patient!”
Inside a luxurious room reminiscent of a hotel suite.
There were two women who looked like girls. It was Ellie and Edge.
“What are you going to do today?”
“Um… Would you like some fried rice?”
“Bow! Joe!”
“Hey, wait a minute.”
“Yes!”
Ellie got ready to cook. Of course, robots will do most of it… However, the materials had to be prepared.
“Let’s see… Potatoes and carrots in storage… “
After a while.
As she watched the dishes being made, she became lost in her thoughts.
‘Is it already the 26th day… ?’
It had been almost a month since Seyeon left.
‘Idiot… Just stay with me… ‘
Se-yeon said she had a place she must go, and she left. Naturally, she didn’t want Seyeon to leave. But… I couldn’t look away from Seyeon’s shining eyes.
“Fool… Or take me too… “
The time I spent about a month without Seyeon was truly terrifying. I was able to endure it because I had a cute younger sister named Yeji.
“I heard that it will come if I wait 20 days… Why aren’t you coming… “
However, as Seyeon’s return was delayed, her worries were rising.
‘I can’t believe I was hurt somewhere… Oh, no. How strong Seyeon is!’
And she wasn’t the only one worried about Seyeon. Yeji also worried about her, and so did many of Seyeon’s fans.
“So come quickly… You idiot.”
Among Se-yeon’s fans, most of them were waiting for the missing Se-yeon. Some of her people were looking for her, spending her vast sums of money. Every time Ellie couldn’t post the news of Seyeon, she felt sorry for her.
“At least, I’m glad I said it well to my fans… Ha… “
Beep.
[Cooking is complete.]
Fortunately, cooking was completed in good timing. A little later, she thought, she would have fallen into depression.
“Wow! Are you done cooking?”
“Huh. Hang in there.”
“Yes!”
Soon, a generous amount of fried rice appeared in front of them. Due to the nature of Korin, where fresh vegetables and meat are very expensive, it was quite expensive food.
“Eat well.”
“Yes… !! Looks delicious!”
It was when the two of them sat side by side at the table to eat.
Quaang!! Kwaaaaang!! Quaang!!
Suddenly, a huge explosion began to be heard from above.
“Huh… ! What, what… ? Sister… ?”
Yeji put the spoon in her mouth and froze.
“Hmm… Wait a minute… ?”
Ellie raised the screen on the ground with her instant smart ring.
Then, a grim sight began to appear.
-Kwaaaaang!! Kwaaaaang!! Kwaaang!!!
-Chef!! Those, battle robots… !! That’s a huge number… !!
-Go, why are you suddenly attacking… ! Gagging… !
The combat robots were mercilessly massacring. By destroying the restaurant.
-Beep! Beep! Beep! Found
-Beep! Beep! Check your goal!
– Captain. It seems to be here.
-Good. Everyone, get ready to enter. There are two hunters of B rank or higher inside. Everyone be careful
-Yes!
Besides, things looked pretty bad. It seemed that they had found a hiding place.
‘Stop, no way…’ !’
Kwaaaaang!! Kwaaaaang!! Kwaaaaang!!
And soon they began to break down the door of the hideout.
“Uh, sister… I’m scared… “
Yeji didn’t even eat the rice she liked and clung to Ellie. With an expression full of anxiety.
“Don’t worry… My sister will protect you Believe me… “
Ellie stroked Yeji’s head to reassure her. But… Ellie’s hands were shaking as well.
‘Shit… I finally got it… What do we do? At a time like this, if Seyeon was there… ‘
I was thinking more about Seyeon. But she immediately shook her head.
‘No. I’m rather glad I don’t have Seyeon. Seyeon will still be able to live.’
Ellie thought they couldn’t let her live. Of course, she could use it to entice her grandfather. But… With Lee Seong-cheol’s power now, I thought that there was no need for that.
‘Let’s eat heartily! Yes, but I have to live… !’
She put on a look that soon caught her heart. His eyes were straight like those of a noble family.
“Yes. Hold my hand tight Understand?”
“Yes… Ah Okay… “
She held Yeji’s hand tightly. Then she slowly began to unlock the powers she had.
Hwaaaaah-!!!
Soon after, blue flames flooded her body.
Her flames raged wildly, enveloping her.
“And… Pretty… “
And the flame wasn’t doing the slightest damage to her and Yeji. It was her ability to attack only those who were hostile.
So it was time for her to unleash her powers and prepare for her impending attack.
Kwaaaaang!!!
Eventually, the door to the hideout was broken down. It seemed that the enemies had prepared well, even a giant laser cannon.
[Beep! Enemy in sight! Enemy in sight!]
“Captain! I see two women over there.”
“One of them is Elizabeth… Who is the other one?”
“I do not know.”
“Tsk, then only capture Elizabeth. You can kill other women. Ah. Of course, if Elizabeth rebels too much, let her be killed.”
“Yes!!”
Soon, combat soldiers and combat robots wearing huge armor began to attack. All were armed with laser guns and laser swords.
“Yeah! Never let go of my hand! Never!”
“Huh! Arseo!”
Hwaaaaah-!!!
Soon, the flames surrounding Ellie began to grow even larger. It was as if she had become a little sun. It was such an enormous flame.
“Omg… ! That’s enough to be an A-class talent!”
“Shit… Everyone be careful… !”
Ellie grabbed Yeji’s hand and ran quickly. Towards the enemies.
‘I’m breaking through in a straight line towards the exit!’
Hwaaaaah-!!!
Then her combat robots blocked her path and fired her laser guns at her.
Piyung-! Piyung-! Piyung-! Piyung-!
But to no avail. It was her flame with a higher temperature than a laser gun. Rather, the flame was absorbing the laser.
[Beep! Beep! Danger!!]
Soon, her flame engulfed the combat robots. The same goes for the combatants who could not escape.
“Ouch… !! Now, the gloves are melting… Wow, the heat… Aaaaagh!!”
“Everyone avoid!!”
Whether it was a combat robot or a combat soldier, everyone was falling down as they melted along with their gloves.
‘Okay, are you off guard? If this is the case, escape safely… !’
She quickly ran to her face with a mixture of hope. Fortunately, Yeji, who held her hand, was following along well.
‘Now go a little further… !’
“Captain! If you do this, you will miss the target… “
“Oh, don’t worry. Because he came.”
“If so… Ah… !”
It was when Eli and Yezi tried to pass through the destroyed door.
[Hmm… Are you the target?]
Suddenly, a tall man blocked her and Yeji. Unusually, he was speaking in a slightly mechanical voice.
“What are you? If you don’t want to die right now… “
[Hmm… There are only a lot of good people in Korin.]
He had his arms crossed, blocking his entrance. Then, talking to himself, he made a face slightly lost in thought.
“Oh… ! You must be the enemy anyway!”
Ellie bit her lip and ran straight to her bastard. Still engulfed in huge flames.
Hwaaaaah-!!!
But…
Widely!!
Surprisingly, he stopped the huge flame with his bare hands.
“Uh, what… How can this… !”
[Hmm… Hot one? It’s a good match for me… Too bad.]
With those words, he secretly drew a huge orb of flame with his other hand.
Paaaaa-!!
Then, surprisingly, the flame right up to the top of Eli’s head disappeared. To be precise, the expression cut off would be correct.
“Oh, how can it be… !”
Ellie froze on the spot. She knew instinctively. The only person who could easily do this was an S-class Hunter.
‘Oh… ! Oh, no!! Do not give up!! I have to save my wisdom!!’
She desperately tried to move her hardened body. Her abilities continued to manifest. She knew the opponent was an S-class, but she couldn’t give up easily.
‘Please… ! In action… !’
Yeji, who had been living with them for nearly a month, had to live. Now he was almost like her own brother.
“Sister yi!”
Yeji was afraid, but she held her hand tightly. And is it because of that? Slowly, her body began to move.
‘Good… ! Because I’m the bait I’ll save even my wisdom.’
She did it to the best of her ability.
Hwaaaaagh-!!!
She then prepared to pounce on him.
“Yeah! Listen up! You run alone!”
“Uh, sister… “
Eli immediately let go of Yeji’s hand. She then spread her arms wide open. She intended to buy him some time by hugging him.
‘I don’t like ugly men like that, but… I can’t help it.’
So Ellie blew her body at the bastard, wrapped in flames. It was her desperate move to buy a little time.
Hwaaaaagh-!!!
But…
[Tsk, what a futile thing… ]
With just one gesture from him, her attempts were thwarted.
Shyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy-!!!
A hurricane-like wind blew from her hand, which he held out to her, and it blew her away completely behind her.
Udang-tang-!
“Ouch… This can’t be… “
All of her sparks had disappeared before she knew it. It was all blown away by the wind he made.
“Oh, sister!!”
Fortunately, Yeji seemed to be unharmed. It seemed like he was aiming precisely for her.
Tboob. Tboob.
[Did you say it was good to keep alive?]
“Yes… ? Ah yes. However, an order has been issued saying that if you rebel, you can kill them.”
[Hmm… Okay… ? It certainly seems like a waste to kill… ]
He walked slowly and came close to Ellie’s nose. Then she lifted her chin in her Ellie and started looking around at her. It was as if he was examining her belongings.
[Also… The potential seems too great. It’s not good to keep more psychics like this alive in Corinne.]
Soon he slowly began to raise his hand.
Wheein!!
Then, a sharp wind began to blow through his blades. It was a terrifying blade of wind that cut her flame in one blow.
[Instead, I’ll let you go at once without pain.]
“Oh, sister! Run away!!”
A voice mixed with Yeji’s cries was heard in Eli’s ears.
And at that voice, she closed her eyes tightly. Her feelings of sorry, frustration, and defeat consumed her.
‘Sorry… Black… Yay… And Seyeon too… ‘
[Then… Let’s go to a good place.]
That’s when she gave up her everything and shed tears of regret.
“Three years old!!! Help me!!”
Shyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy-!!!
Suddenly, a huge wind started blowing. She closed her eyes even harder. She was like a bastard’s wish to kill her.
‘Ugh… !’
But as time passed, she didn’t feel much for her.
‘What… ?’
At the moment, I thought, ‘He really let me go without any pain…’ ‘ I had such a thought.
‘Oh… ! It’s strange… ‘
But something was strange. Then it was right that I couldn’t even think of such a thing.
Involuntarily, she slowly began to open her eyes.
‘I see something black… ‘
Then, in front of her eyes, she saw long black hair flowing down her face. The dark-haired owner was holding his hand.
[Kuh… Uh, what… !]
And the dark-haired woman turned her head and looked at her.
“Lol… Sorry… It’s a bit late… ? Because that’s what happened… “
It was the face and voice she had been missing for nearly a month.
“Three, three, three years!!”
