Chapter 894 – 885 Abduction and Hwan-Innae Talk
Joo Hye-wol, who was taken away by Prince Uiseon, was immediately admitted to the VIP room of a large hospital operated directly by Geumran, and was discharged after three days of treatment.
During those three days, Joo Hye-wol acted as if she had no energy as usual and no one suspected her. Even after she was discharged from the hospital, she kept pretending to be timid and slowly slipped into her daily life.
All of her team members, including the leaders of Eunnandae, are professionals in the industry.
Avoiding their gaze is never easy, but Joo Hye-wol felt that her brain was working smarter than before, and she prepared a perfect alibi and put it into action.
While preparing her alibi, Joo Hye-wol felt the presence of God with her whole body.
Her previous self was at the level where she would wake up to two or three when she saw one. That’s what she did, and after she met the divine being, she realized that when she sees one thing, she realizes four or five.
Joo Hye-wol, sensing her strangeness, secretly obtained the Geumran Special Intelligence Test Sheet and took her test. To her surprise, she scored 98 points in all subjects, breaking Geumran’s all-time record.
In the previous exam she took to advance to the rank of 3rd Leaf Master, she scored 89 points in the Sixth Sense category and an average of 75 points elsewhere.
Moreover, her phase power also increased noticeably. Previously, her phase power value was only 108, but after she went to the realm of God, it increased to 153, a whopping 50.
‘Of course. It’s because of the wind that came into my head at that time.’
Joo Hye-wol, who had finished her fortune-telling exercise at her home, felt her vitality flowing through her whole body and knelt down toward her window, crouching down with her hands clasped as if in prayer.
In that state, she begins to offer a prayer of thanks to the spirit of Yeongje, Hwanin.
Joo Hye-wol, so to speak, was devastated by the heartless experiments of her godmother, whom she followed like a mother.
She realized that there was a God in this world whom no human could touch, and that she was treated like a convenient Mormot by the organization to which she had devoted her life’s loyalty and fidelity, and by her godmother.
Although she said it was to use her sixth sense, she truly tried to eliminate herself and use herself as her mother to confirm the presence or absence of her divine being.
She said, ‘In the realm of reason, I think it is a natural thing to do, but…’ …’
In the realm of emotions, a sense of betrayal is palpable.
Of course, I do not forget her grace in raising and raising me. Her camaraderie towards the team members and team members who had each other’s backs and carried out their duties was also the same.
‘But now I can’t be as blindly loyal as before…’
Is this Stockholm Syndrome, or is it an enlightenment that occurred because I found someone to whom I should dedicate my faith?
It’s annoying to think about, so let’s just say it’s both.
Two weeks later, Joo Hye-wol, who had kept what she had experienced a secret even from her biological sisters and members of the group who were like real siblings, disguised herself so well that even her godmother could not recognize her when her eyes returned to how they were before. I headed to a quiet teahouse outside Seoul.
“Here we are.”
“Long time no see. You’ve changed a lot.”
“There is no choice but to change.”
Joo Hye-wol, who lightly sensed what this answer implied, nodded her head slightly.
If you look at her normally, it may sound like she has no choice but to change since she went from being a detective to being in charge of Baekwanggeumdo’s intelligence department, but in reality, she has a hidden inner feeling that if she doesn’t change even after seeing God, she’s lost.
Ki Woo-hyuk, who looks 10 years younger than before with his bushy beard and neatly trimmed hair, took out drinks and left the teahouse with Joo Hye-wol.
“I was surprised. “I can’t believe Captain Joo asked to meet in secret like this.”
“Because he asked me to meet you.”
“… Asin.”
“Yeongje.”
The two people, who exchanged one word at a time like a secret phrase, looked at each other with mysterious eyes, nodded slightly, and launched the new model into the forest.
“Director Ki Woo-hyuk, have you met him in person?”
“That’s right. Her daughter was terminally ill due to her stomatitis, and she Himself saved her life. How did Captain Joo Hye-wol… ?”
“I am in his sphere…”
The two people, who were exchanging stories while running somewhere at 60 kilometers per hour, realized that they had had completely different experiences.
‘Hwanin also possessed divine powers and was said to be a giant ten of kilometers tall there… ?’
‘He could dwell on earth in human form…’ …’
The two people were a little confused.
Ki Woo-hyeok first realized that Hwan-in was a god and his implicit pride in following him was slightly ruined by Joo Hye-wol, and although Ju Hye-wol saw Hwan-in as a god in person, she felt a little jealous of the fact that she was not the first to follow him. I felt it.
“Manager Ki. So where are you going now?”
“This is the place he himself pointed out. “This is the place where Captain Joo told me to come when he contacted me.”
Could it be that he even foresaw this situation?
When Joo Hye-wol was running after Ki Woo-hyuk with a slightly complicated expression, Ki Woo-hyuk was secretly impressed when he saw Joo Hye-wol running after him without difficulty.
The leaders of Geumran are inferior in terms of strength and physical strength to the level of leaders of Baekwang Kendo, but they chase after them without much effort.
At that level, he would be a skill that could be counted on one hand even in Geumran.
“Manager Ki, is that that place?”
“That’s right.”
Deep in the forest where sunlight does not reach, there is a small tree house that looks like a cubicle toilet standing alone there.
To add exaggeration, the size of the door takes up 2/3 of the house.
It’s a shabby place that looks like it would be full if one person went in and stood there… The two people in the wooden house, which could be called too shabby, looked at each other with slightly embarrassed faces.
Is this right?
Yes. This is definitely the place.
『Come in.』
“… !!”
“… !?”
As the sacred voice echoed in their minds, the two were startled and reflexively broke into a cold sweat.
Ki Woo-hyuk, who had received the divine advice several times, came to his senses first, swallowed his saliva, and held the door open.
Beep beep…
The inside is just a small wooden house that looks like a tool warehouse with nothing in it. However, Ki Woo-hyuk, who thought it couldn’t be an ordinary house, pushed himself inside the door.
“Oh… !?”
And Joo Hye-wol was so surprised that it was obvious that she was nervous, and her shoulders shook.
As soon as Ki Woo-hyuk entered the door, he evaporated before my eyes.
How? I couldn’t even feel the movement of phase power! But since you are God, this must be simple, right?
Joo Hye-wol also quickly ran and entered the door where Ki Woo-hyuk had disappeared, and at that moment, the door closed by itself with a sound.
“Ah! Here… !”
“… Commander Joo. Do you know where this is?”
Ki Woo-hyuk, who entered the house first and had a brain freeze when he suddenly saw a place with gray smooth land and an endless blue sky, looked back at Joo Hye-wol, who came in behind him.
“This is the divine translation of Yeongjesin!”
“… !”
W, are you saying this is Hwanin’s space? Now that I think about it… Something sacred and godly feeling… !
Suppressing his heart pounding, Ki Woo-hyuk looked around the space that mysteriously stimulated his five senses. Then, he was startled when he noticed a yellow fireball approaching without warning.
I gently tap Joo Hye-wol on the shoulder and call her out.
“Chief Joo. “What is that being?”
“Yes? … Ah? Me, I don’t know either. I was so out of my mind at the time that I didn’t even know something like that existed…”
“… “It seems like he’s asking me to follow you?”
“Let’s go.”
The two people saw a yellow flame burning like a bonfire pulling out a thin line and starting to follow carefully.
And as I started walking, I got goosebumps as I saw the surrounding scenery rippling and changing little by little.
I think I heard that there is a method like this in the Qi Wen Jin of the Zhuge family in China.
If you go in and deviate from the path, you will wander through the dimensional gap forever and die…
The two people who were following the fire ahead, squinting at the swaying scenery, realized that they could see something beyond the scenery, something like energy.
A scene where something similar to a flame that guides them moves around, extracting something from something black and gathering it into an energy furnace.
Joo Hye-wol expressed curiosity about what role that Nosim played, but Ki Woo-hyuk felt her goosebumps cover his heart to the point where he couldn’t think of anything else.
In addition to the yellow flames, isn’t it also full of heroic spirits that watch over and protect you?
The visible number seems to be close to three hundred, but wouldn’t that number be enough to wipe out the entire world organization?
Eventually, the shimmer disappears and the surrounding scenery changes, capes and cliffs appear, and the vast sea covers the field of view.
The gray, flat land also became curved, and various colors were added to the color of the earth and the color of the grass. The two climbed the cape, feeling with their whole body a reason that did not exist in the world.
“Ah? Ki, Manager Ki. Excuse me…”
“Hmm.”
There is someone standing at the end of that cape. And as soon as I recognized its presence, I was overwhelmed by a strong presence that made me want to kneel down.
“Tsk… !”
“Well…”
I can’t stand on my two legs at all. Unable to look at the back, Ki Woo-hyuk and Joo Hye-wol knelt on the slope of the cape that had turned into green grass and bowed their heads.
The yellow flame that guided the way has also disappeared. The two crawled up behind the figure, not caring that the grass juice was seeping into their knees and hands.
Above the two people, two other people appeared.
“What. Why are they crawling?”
〈Why, why? Asin-nim’s divine light is not of the superior class, but it is something that cannot be faced with the inferior class.〉
“?!”
“Huh… !?”
High level and low level. The two people who raised their heads at the sound suddenly appeared… Seeing the two beauties made her heart flutter differently, and she clutched her chest.
At that time, the beautiful, yet mischievous, innocent girl with her black hair glances at the clear girl with the color of her water.
“Lil, do you think I don’t even know that? “I do it because I’m shocked that you’re crawling around like a turtle when God of Knowledge is waiting for you.”
〈I agree with that too. It’s so scary when our Asin is angry, tsk tsk. Yeon, let’s go to the lake over there and play.〉
“Huh? Want to play again? “You came here and had a lot of fun.”
〈No matter when and how much you play, it’s not enough! And it’s a place that Ashin created for us to play! Quickly!〉
“Ah, I want to see more of them…”
A beautiful black maiden said to a fresh blue maiden the sea… Instead, the two people who had been staring blankly at being dragged into the lake got up at the same time and ran up the cape with all their might.
And about 20 meters, I think this is appropriate… I couldn’t get any closer due to my instinct warning that my soul would disappear if I got any closer, so I fell on my knees and hit her head again.
“Sorry for coming late!!”
“I’m sorry I’m late… !”
『It’s not too late, so calm down and raise your head.』
A soft and friendly voice that does not instill fear, but makes you feel a spiritual climax.
Ki Woo-hyeok’s eyes brightened, and his face filled with laughter at the sound of a voice that seemed to satisfy a man’s need for approval, and Joo Hye-wol’s face was reminded of her face as she felt her bottom getting slightly wet at the sound of a voice that made a woman’s heart flutter.
When they carefully raised their heads, they thought, “How could this happen?” They saw a breathtakingly handsome man looking down at them in a stately and elegant black coat.
Is that Hwanin’s true appearance?
The two stared at Hwanin frantically, then realized he was opening his mouth and listened with all their might.
『First, Joo Hyewol. I apologize for speaking briefly when I summoned you to the area that day.』
Eh. Oh. No, you don’t need to apologize to people like that!
『At that time, your soul was too weak. If you listen to divine words for too long, your spirit and body could collapse, and your existence could disappear. So, I kept it short, so please understand.”
“Four! No, it doesn’t matter if you call me this bitch or that bitch… !”
Joo Hye-wol, who chewed her tongue while speaking hastily, glared at the pebbles under her eyes and seriously wondered if she would die if she hit her forehead here a few times.
Hwanin laughed quietly and quietly at that sight and then quietly opened his mouth.
『There are two reasons why I called you two here. Has anyone guessed?』
“Well, isn’t he trying to instruct us to collect information about the human world…? I thought about it. Wouldn’t you like to leave me in charge of the Western bloc and Joo Hye-wol in charge of the Eastern bloc? …”
“Lim, please entrust us with a mission and ask us, who are lacking, to take precautions… Is this what you want… ?”
“You’re right. If so, do you know why?』
Joo Hye-wol and Ki Woo-hyuk looked at each other. And Joo Hye-wol opens her mouth.
“I daresay…” … It seems that the Lord Yeongje wants to remain as quietly as the clouds flowing in the sky.”
“Humans are greedy. There are people who are greedy and only repent when death approaches, while there are also people who struggle even when death approaches and remain greedy until the end.”
If such people learn about the existence of God, they will flock to God like moths to a brazier. Because of his own greed and desire.
However, the holy and great being before our eyes is a personal God who ascended from man to the status of god.
If a personal God who knows joy, anger and sorrow becomes angry…
“… I believe that, like the myth of the great flood, there will even be a situation where humanity becomes extinct. Genius is brought to earth by a few people who do not know the subject. I think our job is to keep an eye on the world situation behind the scenes so that Hwa and Hwan-in don’t step forward.”
Hwanin smiled faintly at the two people who answered intelligently.
Looking at the two who got their point across with only the snippets shown so far, I feel strongly that I made the right choice.
“You’re right. As Ki Woo-hyuk said, I am a personal God. We get happy, laugh, get angry, and sad about personal things. Because of this, I am neither omniscient nor omnipotent. I don’t even want that to be possible.』
However, you don’t want sparks flying and insects infesting your area. If something like that keeps coming at you, you’ll get angry.
Joo Hye-wol, who was a little clumsy, nodded her head.
This is natural for humans. No normal person would be able to survive if their house was infested with all kinds of bugs and cockroaches were running around.
Although it is different from the original meaning of the proverb, Joo Hye-wol thought that the being who could burn down the grass and samgan to kill her bedbugs was the spirit of Yeongje in front of her.
Hwanin continued to open his mouth.
『That is precisely why I am entrusting the task of collecting information to you two. I don’t care about authenticity. I won’t care about things that don’t concern me. If you spot an incident that looks suspicious or dangerous, please let me know. Ki Woo-hyuk can take charge of the Western region, and Joo Hye-wol can take charge of the Eastern region.』
“Yes… !”
“Four… !!”
Hwanin offered more carrots to the two who bowed their heads in exasperation, as if influenced by the brilliance of God.
『In order to focus on a mission, you must have the appropriate motivation. Mr. Ki Woo-hyuk.』
“Yes, yes!”
『Good news will be waiting for you when you return home. And Joo Hye-wol.』
“Yes!”
Joo Hye-wol answered with strength in her stomach, and her eyes widened as she saw the golden orb flying at her seep into her lower abdomen.
For the first time, I felt an ecstatic feeling as my stomach became warm, and the heat spread throughout my body.
『The reason you bleed because of your sixth sense is because you have put abilities that do not fit the principles of the world into your humble body. With this, there will be no more bleeding.』
Ah… !
『In addition, I gave separate gifts to the two of you, do you know?』
How could you not know? Ki Woo-hyuk and Joo Hye-wol once again put their foreheads on the ground and expressed their sorrow.
Just as Joo Hye-wol gained a lot of phase power and his intelligence also increased, Ki Woo-hyuk also improved his muscles and bones a little and his phase power also increased, improving his martial arts skills.
If you look at the level alone, you can win even if you spar with Gwanju. Of course, I won’t reveal my skills.
Joo Hye-wol appeals, unable to hide her anxiety.
“B-but… Lord Yeongje. The godmother of Geumran, whom I worked for… Unable to give up her greed, one day she will try to follow in the footsteps of Lord Yeongje. I, I’m anxious about that… !”
“… The same goes for the current head of Baekwanggeomdo. They say an old man’s greed is dirty and ugly, but my father’s greed is even worse. If only I could meet Godmother Geumran and hear her story…”
Hwanin smiled at the two’s sincere concerns.
And Joo Hye-wol and Ki Woo-hyuk felt fear that froze their hearts.
『Look back.』
Joo Hye-wol and Ki Woo-hyuk turned around as they were told and were able to see a strange structure that would never exist in this world.
Thousands of facilities similar to the reactor core are erected throughout the vast gray land. And tens of thousands of yellow flames moving to and from the facility and hundreds of blue heroic spirits that exist here and there as if to guard the facility.
『It is the soul road. It is a system that enforces the laws of the world using souls that have died through karma. The soul that became the material disappears without even leaving a trace of soul behind.』
The hearts and blood of the two people freeze coldly. In particular, Joo Hye-wol saw something when she heard Hwan-in’s warning, and her body temperature dropped by 5 degrees.
『You two should think about why I came to be called Young Emperor.』
“…”
“…”
『Please go back. I’ll call you again later…』
Hwanin’s words seemed to be blurred, and the two felt the wind blowing around them, and when they came to their senses, they were in the middle of the forest.
“Omg… !”
“Ugh! Where did the treehouse go… ?”
“… He must have cleaned it up.”
Joo Hye-wol and Ki Woo-hyuk stood silently, unable to talk for a while.
The path of the soul that melts the soul and creates law cannot be erased from the retina.
If you make the Emperor angry, will his soul be pulled out and melt away?
‘That’s why, when I was involved in the work of Lord Yeongje, I was so angry, pouring blood up and down. Even if you die, you don’t just die; your soul is captured and squeezed out, and in the end, you return to nothingness.’
When Joo Hye-wol was alone in her understanding, Ki Woo-hyuk barely opened his mouth.
“This… I must not say anything out loud. And… “I think we should also establish a channel to secretly exchange letters with Commander Joo.”
“For that, I have a system I created. All you have to do is go to the dark web and use a special password.”
“Good. I think special passwords will be needed in the near future, so I created a full character password. “I will tell you that.”
“It’s an interesting story. Let’s take turns sharing stories.”
“Yes. And Captain Joo. “As someone who is in the same boat, please take care of me in the future.”
“Please take care of me too, Manager Ki.”
As the two shook hands, a simulation of how to perfectly carry out the mission given by God was running in their heads, but a small question lingered in a corner.
‘What were the two people I saw in that sacred area?’
‘If… Yeongjesin’s companion… ?’
“Hwanin, what happened?”
“Hmm. It worked. The assimilation response due to the divine light was also activated properly. In about a month, their obedience to me will grow as much as the most precious thing they hold in their hearts.』
〈You’re not turning the tables? It would be good if the most important thing is to obey God.〉
『If you do that, there is a possibility that your personality will change. Changing your personality will quickly reveal something suspicious, so you may be caught off guard. That’s how important internal priorities are.』
〈Ugh~.〉
“So. Do you like the lake? I tried making it by referring to Aleugel.』
『Tsk tsk. That’s a good thing.』
「… But reel? Where are you trying to touch while talking? What are you going to do?”
〈What is it, a movement to sublimate gratitude toward Asin-nim into service? Do you want to join us too?〉
「3p? That’s good.”
『… Phew. I don’t know how transcendental spirits got so corrupted.』
“What. Lil and I are one body, but she is the one who violates that body every day.”
『…』
