Chapter 109 – Intersection
Murim annihilation commandment.
What should not be misunderstood, that was not an unmanned military annihilation plan. There is no way that it would be possible to eliminate all unmanned people with only the power of the Republic of Korea, and if that happens, the gate situation cannot be prevented.
Moorim, not an unmanned warrior.
Murim was often not controlled by the government. The Korean Murim, which Park Soo-ho wanted to eradicate, was also an entity that was far out of government control. As the gate scandal erupted, the phenomenon intensified. It was like that when I looked at Sacheon or Jeju.
Even if people were killed in broad daylight, if they were Murim people, the state could not use their hands properly. It wouldn’t be much of a problem if it was the level of an unmanned black sword that could be suppressed with modern weapons, but if it was a member of the Murim Maeng or the opponent was too strong.
Especially like the blood bridge this time.
Then, in the end, the only thing to do was to try to punish them with the cooperation of the Murimmaeng or Protestantism. It is better if the opponent is evil. There were many cases where political faction warriors couldn’t even touch them no matter what they did.
Like that.
In a society that emphasized equality, warriors were regarded as aristocrats who enjoyed unrestricted power. However, in this world, there were far more non-unmanned people than unmanned people. At least, there are a lot of knights who are blocking the gate situation in the first line, so it’s less of a problem.
Selfish people exist everywhere, and being uninhabited wasn’t much different. On the contrary, it was even worse. Naturally, it was a structure that made it easy for the anger of those who were not unmanned to accumulate.
In such a world.
There was a man here.
Although he had no talent for martial arts, he could not even feel Qi, so even a simple third-class mental method was impossible to initiate.
He belonged to the country with a brilliant mind and worked passionately using the turbulent times as a stepping stone. His efforts are recognized in many ways, and he achieves success within the organization.
The moment he reached a position that could be regarded as a high-ranking position among non-military people.
The whole family was murdered by the unmanned. I couldn’t even catch the pleural effusion properly.
At Moorimmaeng, like a parrot, he only repeated, “I will investigate.”
It wasn’t that there was a big reason, it was just a lack of luck.
It’s a very common thing in this world.
Although it was very common.
It’s not that it’s not painful because it’s common, but he couldn’t properly overcome the grief of losing his family.
Caught in despair, the thought that went to the extreme eventually led to the fact that this ‘Wurim’ itself was wrong.
He decides to use his genius brain solely for the purpose of killing Murim. As he ascended to the position of director of the Moorim Inspection Department, he plotted the division of the Murim people and attempted to reduce the power of the Moorim people by using the numerous information he obtained.
By suppressing the power of the Murim, the unruly unmanned soldiers are put under the control of the state. That was the ultimate goal Park Soo-ho pursued.
There was a movie I watched a long time ago that impressed me.
In the world of superhumans, ordinary people play revenge with only their natural abilities.
Of course, the role of the person who takes revenge in the movie is a villain, so in the end, it failed.
Park Soo-ho, of course, in the game, the conspiracy is discovered and goes the route of defeat.
There were many people who liked it because of the cursed lines he spat out toward the unmanned and the desperate story.
I was one of them.
In the world of superhumans, it was the character Park Soo-ho who represented the sadness of the ‘incompetent’, and it was also a device to imply that the world in the game is not just a flower garden.
If it’s a game story, I think tragedy has its own charm.
However, in reality, tragedy is never pleasant to look at.
So.
From the time I first possessed this world, I wanted to prevent him from degenerating into a vengeful demon. In any case, killing Murim was practically impossible, and cutting down the power of mankind in such a way was equivalent to self-destruction.
Even so.
I never thought I would be able to meet you at this early time, in less than a year. I was thinking of cutting out the blood bridge and exploring it starting next year.
“Nice to meet you. I am Kim Moo-gong.”
I calmly took a breath and said hello.
“Don’t you doubt that I am an NIS employee?”
“Yes. If you come all the way here The verification process is complete. If the other person has no reason to lie, it’s easier to assume it’s the truth.”
Even if you didn’t know about Park Soo-ho, it was a natural fact. There were quite a few signs that could be felt nearby, and the Red Dragon Corps was also resident nearby.
I wouldn’t allow an unknown person to access my room.
“Well. Understand.”
“Are you here for an investigation?”
“Yes. If you allow it. I’m just here to ask you a couple of non-trivial questions. After all, civilians have been involved. It’s a pain in the ass for us. As you know, it’s just a formality. Words cannot intimidate the members of the Protestant Church or the Murim Alliance. Not to mention, I can’t be rude to a man of faith who is like heaven.”
Shrugging his shoulders, he pulled out the tablet and held it up.
‘It’s a good cause.’
As long as civilians are involved, state agencies have no choice but to step in, at least formally. This is a superficial reason, and the biggest purpose the author came here is to figure out ‘me’.
What kind of person I am, what I aim for, whether I am dangerous, and if so, how dangerous I am.
Even in the game, it was mentioned that Park Soo-ho was collecting information to the point of obsession. I got out of his brief thoughts and spoke out.
“Good. Instead, I want to talk to you alone.”
I nodded, and at the same time chatted with Hanyeoreum separately.
[I’ll tell you more later. He is the future Moorim Inspector General.]
[Uh, is this the person?]
[OK.]
[No wonder. Where did you see it?]
Park Soo-ho glanced at the NIS employee next to him and nodded.
“You two have a good talk.”
Han Yeo-reum waved her hand once and walked out of the hospital room with the NIS agent.
“Okay then, a few light questions…”
Park Soo-ho sat down on the chair in front of me, holding a touch pen for writing.
Wooung- I hit the gimag right away. Park Soo-ho, who didn’t feel the ‘ki’ in the first place, didn’t seem to be aware of it at all, even though I had covered the entire hospital room.
“Team Manager Park Soo-ho, let’s stop talking about formalities.”
I said straight forward.
Although it was a very brief moment, the eyes of team leader Park Soo-ho flashed.
***
『Kim Mu-gong, Kim Mu-gong.
Heavenly Demon Goddess Lee Gongja 二公子.
Origin: Republic of Korea (exact whereabouts unknown. It is assumed that the record was lost due to the gate incident.)
Gender: Male
State: transcendental peak to hwagyeong (estimated)
Type of martial arts: Unknown
It is judged that he has already inherited Cheonma Muhak.
He has a sturdy body and a handsome appearance like a man.
Presumably, he has an arrogant personality that doesn’t avoid the fight that comes his way, befitting a scholar of the Protestant religion…]
Swoop-
With each posture, Park Soo-ho put the touch pen on the screen and drew Jiik. Strikethrough lines were drawn in some sentences.
‘It’s a much more complex type.’
Park Soo-ho turned the screen to a page full of white blanks. The previously estimated information was judged to be largely meaningless.
‘I’m glad I met you in person.’
He hid his emotions and asked calmly.
“You mean a formal story?”
“Yes. Anyway, what I know is that I talked about it through The Bachelor. I have nothing more to say.”
“There are procedures, though.”
“You may be curious about me, not the case. What kind of person is the new cultist who suddenly started rampaging? Aren’t you here out of curiosity?”
Kim Moo-gong smiled coldly. He got his intention right away. Hiding it does more harm than good. In a fleeting moment, Park Soo-ho made a decision and smiled kindly.
“Yes. What Young master said is correct. I couldn’t stand it because I was curious.”
“Is that so. What is your current salary?”
Again, a random question came up. Looking at Kim Mu-gong’s face, thinking he was deaf, he was infinitely serious.
“I mean, I am a public servant. Not much. The exact salary is a bit…”
“I am not ignoring it. I bet it is. Most civil servants suffer from low wages.”
“It seems that Protestant scholars are quite interested in the lives of the lower ones, right?”
Park Soo-ho said coldly. Most NIS employees hate asking for salary. There were quite a few employees at the NIS who were proud that they did not come in just for money.
“10 billion in won. I’ll give you a lump sum right away. No, I’ll give you any money. Come to Protestantism.”
“Yes?”
Even Park Soo-ho, who had gone through all of the prenatal battles, had no choice but to open his mouth at the words he had just said. What did the Shinigyo scholar I saw for the first time today say that he knew something about himself?
“Families will be thoroughly protected by Protestantism. Even if it’s not big, I can set up an information group right away. You can gradually increase the size. In the end, it will be as good as the NIS. In some areas, it will be better.”
Before the confusion subsided, a series of hits followed.
“If you need a skilled informant, it doesn’t have to be me… The level of Protestant agents would be much better than that of the NIS, right?”
“No, I need you. No other NIS agents are needed.”
“I have no interest in sodomy, after all.”
Kim Mu-gong’s brow furrowed.
“That goes for me too. There is absolutely no such intention. I am trying to recruit you as a ‘talent’.”
Haha….”
Park Soo-ho laughed heartily.
I came to figure out Kim Moo-gong, but I was confused.
What if there is someone trying to recruit an NIS agent whom I saw for the first time today promising tens of billions of dollars?
He’s probably a madman or a natural fighter.
Which one?
It was difficult for Park Soo-ho to guess what lurked behind Kim Mu-gong’s jet-black eyes.
“If there is anything else you want, just tell me.”
A low voice awakened Park Soo-ho. Park Soo-ho sighed deeply and opened his mouth.
“…It’s okay. I like my job. Even though it’s hard, and I can’t make money. I guess my calling is to devote my life to the defense and glory of the country and the people.”
“That is also possible in Protestantism.”
“I fundamentally do not believe in the Moorim group. No matter how great the Protestant religion is, the same is true. Sorry.”
“…Is that so.”
Tick.
Park Soo-ho turned off the tablet.
More to say, Kim Moo-gong will keep trying to recruit him, and he will only repeat what he rejects.
He thought it didn’t make any sense.
“Once I know. Let’s finish our investigation here.”
“The offer is valid at any time.”
Just before leaving the door, Mu-gong Kim’s voice came from behind Park Soo-ho.
“…Yes.”
Park Soo-ho answered in a heavy tone.
Thud-
“Manager? Are you done already?”
Another team member who was waiting outside the door hurriedly ran.
“That’s right. If you suddenly won a multi-million dollar lottery, would you continue working?”
“Yes?”
The team members blankly tilted their heads. It was the first time Park Soo-ho showed such an appearance.
“I’m asking seriously.”
“Ah, that’s a joke too. If you have hundreds of billions of dollars, you have to work and play right away. Why are you risking your life to suffer?”
“I see.”
“No way, boss, will you continue working?”
“Uh. I will continue.”
Park Soo-ho inadvertently rummaged in his arms. Then he realized that he had quit smoking.
“That’s because the team leader doesn’t have hundreds of billions of dollars. If you get tens of billions of won, you’ll hit work right away and play, but you’ll worry all day, right?”
Unaware of the speed of others, the subordinate team members scratched Park Soo-ho.
Park Soo-ho raised the corner of his mouth slightly.
Yes, this is probably what most ordinary people think.
The ‘ordinary’ petit bourgeois that Park Soo-ho wants to protect are usually like this.
At least, state institutions are monitored and checked to some extent. Even the National Intelligence Service, which once boasted of omnipotent power, now has many restrictions.
In the actual organization chart, the reason Moorim Inspection Department, an independent department, came under the NIS was for checks and surveillance.
However, it was not a Moorim group.
Too many things change easily at the command of a few. It’s like a dictatorship. In fact, there were not one or two Moorim groups that had more power than most countries.
With Park Soo-ho, who uses liberal democracy as a lamp and pursues a life devoted to it.
It just doesn’t fit right from birth.
‘I might be a madman.’
Park Soo-ho laughed at the sudden thought.
If you chose a risky site and low pay at the expense of a safe life and hundreds of billions of won, everyone would call you a madman.
“Manager?”
A member of the team started talking to Park Soo-ho, who suddenly smiled. Whatever happened inside, Park Soo-ho’s current condition was clearly strange.
“Let’s go get something to eat. Is the soup okay?”
Park Soo-ho patted his hands and took the lead. A team member shook his head.
“I don’t like it.”
“Already decided.”
“Mistress, if I get tens of billions of won, I will change the taste of the team leader first. Why does a person who likes liberal democracy so much have a dictatorship to meet on the rice menu? It’s not that there isn’t enough money for activities.”
“Everything you eat is the people’s tax. If you go according to your taste, there will be no end to wasting your budget. There is nothing I can do about it.”
“It’s not dignified at all to say such a thing in the tone of a Moorim person.”
“Done. Let’s go.”
“Ehh…”
Beyond the teammates sighing heavily.
Park Soo-ho glanced at Kim Moo-gong’s hospital room.
I was beaten by a young guy who was only 20 years old.
Park Soo-ho internally revised his evaluation of Kim Moo-gong.
‘Mugong Kim. Evaluation results. Unclear unclear. The highest risk level.’
Of course.
It was a very personal evaluation.
