Chapter 733 – The Seeker of Eden
“I will. Seeker.”
G.E.C.R raises tentacles overflowing with bloody psionic energy casually with a voice without ups and downs and threatens Ko Young-tae and the others. Perhaps it would have been better if they had threatened them roughly, but when G.E.C.R calmly and indifferently threatened them with tentacles, Ko Young-tae started to leave somewhere, following G.E.C.R’s guidance.
“We are the lambs following the goddess.”
Seong-il explains about the goddess of harvest to Jun-il. At first, he thought it was nonsense, but after seeing the earth and life sprinkled in an empty space, Jun-il gradually felt that the investigator’s words were true.
“…Originally, until today, I was only going to do reconnaissance and then come up with a plan to bring the students all at once, but… I got so angry seeing you suffering, so I accidentally took my hand and brought you back. It’s done.”
“Go… Thank you…”
Even though there could have been a big problem, Joon-il showed sincere gratitude to the investigator who said that he had taken everything into account to help him. Instead of answering with a light nod, the seeker takes Jun-il and shows her the temple of the goddess.
“I mean… The goddess can stop time!?”
“Yes. It’s limited, but we plan to make the most of that power and rescue people in batches as quickly as possible.”
“Aha…”
After hearing about the kidnapping operation of an aspiring hunter from Korea University, Jun-il is very interested in the plan. The investigator’s words that he plans to retrain them to thwart the Transcendence Church’s plan and re-inject them into rescuing real people excite Jun-il.
“You’re really amazing! But… I’m a ‘analysis’ person, so I can’t help you…”
Joon-il possesses the superpower of ‘analysis’, which has excellent powers in reading and analyzing information. Based on that ability, he had the power to quickly acquire knowledge without much effort.
‘…It’s a bit absurd to say that analyzing the character of an anime female character and targeting a game in detail is to use analysis skills at best, but…’
Concealing his true feelings, Seong-il explains to him that through nanomachine treatment and martial arts training, even non-combatants can awake combat-related psychic powers.
“Yes!? Is that possible?! Then why didn’t the Transcendence Church force awakening!?”
“That’s because they only accept ‘naturally occurring’ superpowers as sacrifices.”
“Ugh!”
The more he listens, the more Jun-il becomes disgusted with the garbage-like way of thinking of the Transcendental Church.
“…It’s not like I’m causing problems in the rescue operation, right?”
“Well, there might be, but I’ll try my best. But judging from how things are going, it seems inevitable that I’ll get stuck with the manager once.”
Although he can make sufficient preparations because he has stopped time now, it seems highly likely that a manager will appear sooner or later due to a problem caused by escaping Jun-il apart from him. After hearing Seong-il’s answer, Jun-il, feeling apologetic, says something to Seong-il, as if a good idea came to his mind.
“So… Are you saying that recently, when a problem arises, students stop everything and gather in the auditorium for training?”
“Yes. I do a lot of random mock training to make sure that the guidelines are actually followed.”
Seong-il’s eyes twinkle when he hears from Jun-il that after Ye-jin Min took him away, he is putting students in a space under a certain situation under the pretext of preventing a terrorist act by a pseudo group.
“…Are they really all together?”
“Yes. Everyone really comes together.”
Junil informs students that in the event of a simulated situation, serious disadvantages will be imposed on students who do not arrive at the auditorium on time.
“There was even a time when that bastard, Youngtae, tried to fuck me…”
Joon-il explains that Ko Young-tae had deliberately left out training-related information to herself and some students by threatening her friends in order to fool her.
“Originally, the professors should have blamed me and protected Ko Young-tae, right? While arguing with each other to solve problems between students…”
‘I know because I’ve been through it too. Bastards…’
Seong-il could feel that her memories were still haunting him, even though many years had passed. While he desperately tries not to reveal his feelings to Jun-il, Jun-il strangely explains that the faculty at the time did not discipline him.
“At that time, I thought it was really unusual. Instead of me, I gave a penalty to Young-tae’s grades. Originally, these idiots would never be like that…”
‘It seems that he couldn’t bear the loss of the ‘beef cattle’ he had worked so hard to raise.’
Seong-il realizes why the professors did such an unusual thing and curses inwardly. It seems that Jun-il felt the same way, and he begins to grumble in a voice full of annoyance.
“Bastards… Why at first but… Was it really because Seong-il and Lee Ah-hyun were killed by a terrorist group in a dungeon…? …”
Realizing the truth, Joon-Il, as if his teeth were shaking, strongly clenched his chubby hands and let out a voice filled with anger.
“Anyway, thank you. Thanks to you, I came up with a way to save the students.”
Seong-il thinks that thanks to Joon-il’s hint, he can solve the situation surprisingly easily.
‘But… In this case, there’s a 100% chance of getting a fight with managers like Jo Woo-young.’
Seong-il once again thanks Jun-il for an important hint, and then attaches a G.E.C.R to him and guides him to the house where he will live in the future.
***
‘Don’t run away, just wait…?’
Now, Jun-il has informed him that if a questionable break-in occurs, a ‘guard’ will come to investigate the case, so Seong-il calmly waits for the guard to come instead of the original plan of escape.
‘Here you are…’
The appearance of an agent wearing a black suit who appeared to investigate the commotion that occurred as Jun-il said. The hunters, who seem to be beyond Class B, start investigating the area where Seong-il cast Inner Plane with a tool that appears to be a sensor.
“What the hell is going on? What do you mean the biological response suddenly disappeared? Hey! Isn’t this a simple mechanical error? There’s no video!”
“No!! As you said, there is no video left on the monitoring device… But aside from that, there is definitely a scene of the four students moving around this place!”
“…Really? Are you sure?”
“I’m very sure. Here’s the video evidence…”
Hunter, who is dressed as an ordinary security guard, hands over a video device to a hunter in a suit who looks like a senior, and shows Go Young-tae and Jun-il moving in this direction.
“Didn’t you go into the forest?”
“It certainly isn’t either.”
The subordinate explains to the hunter in the suit that there are many monitoring devices in the form of trees in the park nearby. In addition, he explains that the missing students, including Ko Young-tae, are not only F-class weak hunters, but also that there is no way to avoid being monitored by the device because they are composed of non-combatants and physical strengthening abilities.
“…Damn, did the pseudo-assholes come again? It’s the end of the world.”
‘Are these guys just ordinary guards? If you listen to the conversation, it looks like a hunter working without knowing anything…’
Seong-il, who was hiding in the shadows from a distance, quickly grasps the rough situation through their conversation.
‘If I didn’t know anything, I would have run away like this, but not now.’
Thinking so, Seong-il takes out a bunch of dolls he prepared in advance and throws them on the floor to create an alter ego. After that, he throws the Cursed Knight’s Ring to the Creator’s doll and gives an order.
Seong-il leads the alter ego inside the school and runs wild, but if possible, orders the dolls of the creator to refrain from active activities and focus on recovering the split-marriage in case the reckless split-marriage doll is damaged.
“Then do your best.”
“Just trust me!”
The doll of the Creator, who gave Seong-Il a thumbs up with a confident expression, rushes toward the guards along with the army of other clones + normal clones that fill the area around Seong-Il.
“For the Guardian of Reason!!”
“!!!”
When countless monsters suddenly appear out of nowhere in the outer forest and try to charge at them, the guards take out their weapons from their arms with a puzzled expression.
“Will it be just like that?”
The clones, who lightly defended themselves from the bullets flying into their bodies using telekinesis, approach the lower guards in an instant and subdue them with hand-to-hand combat.
“G… Support!!”
When his subordinates are overpowered by monsters who seem to be at least B-class, the hunter in a suit tries to call for support by pressing the emergency button with a puzzled look on his face.
“…”
However, the alter egos deliberately show gaps and let the person in charge request support. When the person in charge seems to have finished calling for support, the alter ego quickly runs to the person in charge and beats him down to completely subdue him.
‘Good. You’re doing great. Shall I go too?’
