Chapter 2168 – 2168. Eternal Eden
I walked around the hospital and headed to the security room, pretending to lead the awakened people to Catherine.
“The monster rats are dying in droves. I saw that he got electrocuted… This is Seong Yu-jin’s performance. As expected, this is Seong Yu-jin. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the strongest awakener in Korea.”
Doo-ho praised me earlier and gave me a lift. I know he’s blatantly flattering me to get my attention, but… I didn’t feel bad.
“Haha. This is too much praise. The compatibility was good. Monster rats are larger than rats, but at least they are about 50 cm long, so electric shock was effective.”
“It seems monster rats are weak to electric shock. Mr. Ban Ho-seong here also took care of dozens of monster rats at once. I really thought Thor had descended into this world.”
The corner of Ban Ho-seong’s mouth rises at Doo-ho’s joke.
“It was no big deal. Haha.”
The center of the awakened person here was Doo Ho Doo. He was controlling the atmosphere of the awakened people. Most of the awakened people seemed to have a crush on him. Dooho Doo is steadily approaching his goal of forming the Awakened Alliance.
‘Han Doo-ho. This guy is also someone you need to watch out for. If you block my path, I will kill you without mercy.’
I don’t think one or two issues are my enemies, but he doesn’t know the future. In the future, Doo-ho Doo will run for president with the support of the Awakened Alliance? At that time, I couldn’t stand it either.
“Uh? There’s a particularly messy door over there. “It’s like a security room.”
Naturally, I led them to the security room. Everything else is fine, but the security room is a mess right from the entrance. This was a strange thing.
“Like Eugene said, it’s a particularly messy place. Everything else was fine… “I think we need to go into the security room and check.”
Of course, I am the one who messed up the security room. That way it will look like there is something there. I had a hard time trying to break it down as naturally as possible.
“… “Isn’t Catherine in the security room?”
A concerned opinion from an awakened person.
“Our target is Catherine. That’s a good thing. “I will go in first.”
I took the lead and entered the security room.
“There is no Catherine. The security room… It looks like someone destroyed it on purpose.”
Doo-ho Doo and the awakened people rushed in. Still, I didn’t feel like the security room was narrow. This is because it was quite large as it was a large hospital security room.
Han Doo-ho looked around and said.
“There is also decent CCTV. I can see the location of the monster rat… “I can’t see Catherine.”
“The video appears to be saved automatically. If you watch the video, wouldn’t you be able to find out where Catherine ran away?”
“Okay. “Let’s take a look.”
I took a quick step back. Doo-ho began to take the initiative as if it were natural. Of course, there was an awakened person with a camera next to him.
‘I’m sure you won’t watch that video and pretend not to notice.’
If he pretends not to know, there is a high possibility that Doo-ho Doo is a liaison for the Il-woo Group. He is a guy who dreams of creating the Awakened League. He will not grit his teeth and go beyond it for his own sake. Because it’s the perfect situation to attract aggro.
He checked the video and his face hardened. Anguish passes through his shaking eyes.
‘What are you going to do, Han Doo-ho?’
Gulp.
He swallowed dry saliva and spoke to the camera with a solemn expression.
“Everyone. I found a great video. I would never have thought that a conspiracy like this was happening at a large hospital in Sunwol. Furthermore, I’m confused now and doubting everything. You need time to think. Oh, of course you also have the right to know. Please watch this video.”
Doo-ho Doo was not a member of the Ilwoo Group. The camera started taking pictures of the monitor. Han Doo-ho, who was not caught on camera, grinned. The nervous expression from earlier was all a lie.
‘Do you want to act?’
The awakened people also checked the video as if they were curious.
And the situation turned into a mess. The awakened people were all angry.
“Catherine and the monster rat were brought to the hospital by a person!”
“It appears that the mutants and mutants were brought under anesthesia… Who on earth are they?”
“I wonder if anesthesia is right. Monster rats keep their eyes open, don’t they? It’s as if I’m being controlled by something. … No way. A person with mental abilities.”
Han Doo-ho stepped forward.
“Now. Let’s calm down and think calmly.”
The camera captured Doo Ho Doo.
“A week ago, someone released variants and variants at this hospital. So what is their purpose? If the goal was to destroy the hospital, mutants and mutants would have already run rampant. Gwangju City’s military and police conducted reconnaissance using drones, but did not attempt to properly suppress the incident. The mayor of Gwangju immediately asked our awakeners to take action. Don’t you feel strange here? Am I mistaken if I feel as if the mayor of Gwangju is trying to gather the awakened people and deal with them all at once?”
Han Doo-ho glared at the camera with an angry face. To be exact, someone who will be looking at this place through the camera.
I was deliberately silent. You have to be careful about messing with Gwangju. Because the number of Gwangju citizens is not small. If we want to win the votes of Gwangju citizens in the future, we must bury it quietly now.
“Gwangju Mayor Kim Gwang-seok. This matter must be explained. The same goes for the military and police. In particular, the police used force and tried to stop filming. I think it’s because I’m concerned about this moment. Oh, one of our viewers just gave us a new tip. The truck is said to be S Tech, a medical device manufacturing company, and a partner of Ilwoo Group. Sunwol Hospital belongs to Ilwoo Group… Doesn’t this feel strange too?”
Du-ho Doo’s last words were vague, but he was sniping at Il-woo’s group. Han Doo-ho did not stop there. He slowly turns his head and makes eye contact with the awakened people. And he declared as if he had made up his mind.
“We will stop the operation. No matter how I think about it, this incident is strange. I will wait in Gwangju until the incident is transparently revealed. Additionally, I hereby declare the creation of the Awakened Federation to protect the rights and interests of the Awakened. In the name of the Awakened Alliance, we promise to do our best to uncover the truth about this incident. Oh, of course, the opinions of other awakened people are also important. What will you do?”
The awakened welcomed everyone. They were already afraid of Catherine.
“I will also follow Mr. Doo-ho.”
“I will join the Awakened League.”
Everyone agrees. Han Doo-ho asked me for the last time.
“Mr. Seong Yu-jin. “What will you do, Seong Yu-jin?”
“I cannot join the Awakened Federation because I have Seongak Elementary School, but I agree with Dooho Doo’s opinion. We must stop the operation and find out the truth.”
So the awakened retreated. Of course, Korea was in an uproar.

Jin Seong-hwa, who was watching the broadcast, called Oh Ha-baek as if screaming.
“Oh secretary!!!! They say there is no evidence?!! They say they erased all traces?!! Are you kidding me?!!”
“All CCTV footage has been deleted! All other traces were removed!”
“There’s still footage! 7 million people watched that video!! What are you going to do with this?!”
Oh Habaek broke into a cold sweat. The important thing is not how you make excuses. It’s up to you how to fix it.
“I will blame everything on Gwangju Mayor Kim Gwang-seok. Kim Gwang-seok has a history of not singling out awakened people, so he will definitely be successful.”
Cut off the tail. Kim Gwang-seok will admit to all charges. Because he has received so much. His family is also in the hands of Ilwoo Group.
“That’s not the point! We learned that people can control mutations and variants. What’s going to happen with this?!”
“That… “We have no choice but to insist that it was anesthesia or that it was the work of someone with mental abilities.”
“They insist it was the work of an awakened person. “It’s actually controlled by the power of the awakened, right?”
Unfortunately, even the Ilwoo group did not have the technological power to control the minds of mutants or mutants. Instead, there was a person with mental abilities. It brainwashes mutants and mutants and instructs their pre-imprinted behavior through brain wave signals. Detailed control was impossible.
“Tell the contractors and kill Seong Yu-jin. “Discard Catherine.”
“All right. Catherine will notify her lung base, so we can proceed with her disposal.”
An hour later, Oh Habaek came running in a huff.
“President!! We’re in big trouble! “The contractors mentioned the name of Ilwoo Group.”
“… “What?”

From the moment I returned to the accommodation, something felt strange.
‘I feel something staring at me. I don’t think this is because of my mood, right?’
After being assassinated so many times, I have deep feelings about this.
Thunder current, electromagnetic waves.
I closed my eyes and used electromagnetic waves. The structures and shapes around me are stuck in my mind.
‘There are four people in the next room armed with rifles. They even have bombs. For a moment… Ha, look at these bastards.’
There was a bomb planted in my room. It was closer to terrorism than assassination.
‘That’s very reckless. That means you will deal with me as soon as the order is given.’
Instead of leaving the room, I took out my smartphone. Start recording. First, take a picture of your face in selfie mode. I spoke quietly to the camera with a serious expression.
“Everyone. This is accommodation provided by Gwangju City. Please understand that this is not a live broadcast. Because they might notice. “I feel my life is in danger right now.”
I opened the nightstand drawer next to the bed. I took out the book and put my smartphone inside it. There was a bomb attached to the inside of the drawer.
“Do you see it? It’s a bomb. “There are bombs planted all over my room, not just here.”
Under the bed, in the toilet, behind the living room sofa, inside the air conditioner, etc.
“There are a total of 11 bombs planted in this small quarters. And earlier, I saw some suspicious people entering the next room. “The room next door is suspicious, so I’ll take a look.”
Knock.
I knocked politely on the door of the next room. A man’s voice rang out from beyond the door.
“The door is open. Please come in.”
Squeak.
It was the moment the door opened. A man with his face covered in black cloth was pointing his rifle at me. The man pulled the trigger with cold eyes.
