Episode 340:
Choi Jun-ho and the President have moved places.
Many people around me gathered there and then dispersed, each with their own thoughts in mind.
There was no one here who did not know the close relationship between Choi Jun-ho and the President.
The two have been close friends for a long time, and everyone knows that Choi Jun-ho played a decisive role in the current president’s election.
So there is a story that Berserker’s pardon was granted quickly. The emergence of a superhuman who could fight against the three evils of the League was accompanied by natural treatment, but there were still doubts.
Jin Se-jeong and Berserker calmly accepted this idea. Choi Jun-ho is not aware of it, but just by moving, the terrain of power changes and astronomical amounts of money follow. So, it is natural for people to gather around.
‘Someone from an agency rose to prominence.’
Jin Se-jeong laughed as she compared the present with when she joined Choi Jun-ho’s team.
As someone in charge of an idol group, I was curious to hear that a promising awakened person could be framed as a villain, so I joined the company and ended up enjoying power beyond imagination.
The situation in which he freely enters and exits the Blue House, which he thought he would have no connection with throughout his life, speaks volumes about this.
I feel like I’m walking on the sky, but whenever this happens, I try to control myself. He knows very well that he is nothing without Choi Jun-ho’s halo.
Rather, right now, it was more urgent to prevent the coming disaster than to enjoy that power.
Jin Se-jeong brought Berserker, who was calmly enjoying the place.
“It’s a big deal.”
“What are you talking about?”
“Choi Jun-ho, Choin-nim….”
Jin Se-jeong said that Choi Jun-ho was suspicious of Basakhan.
Although the blade was pointed at the nape of his neck, Berserker remained calm.
“It’s no big deal. “It’s not something to make a fuss about.”
Although his attitude was calm, Jin Se-jeong could see it. Berserker’s hands, with his arms crossed, trembled slightly. I know this well because I have been watching it for a long time. This is a story about being so surprised that it surpasses the ability of a superhuman to control it.
Now that I think about it, it is probably none other than Choi Jun-ho who has experienced the most. This reaction is natural.
It seemed like Berserker was trying to ignore it, so Jin Se-jeong warned him again.
“You are none other than Choi Jun-ho, a superhuman. “Can you feel safe once your eyes have been caught?”
“It’s just a passing suspicion. “Even if you had doubts about Basakhan, I can’t imagine it being me.”
Berserker’s indifferent gaze turned to Jin Se-jeong.
“Unless someone on the inside says so.”
“I never say never. We are in the same boat. “Do you know that well?”
“I know. That’s enough. “The interest will soon shift to other places.”
“I wish so…”
“I don’t know as much about him as you do, so don’t worry.”
“yes.”
Berserker assured him that Jin Se-jeong could not insist any further and accepted it.
“What are you talking about?”
When we finished the conversation, Choi Jun-ho appeared without any sign. Jin Se-jeong was shocked, but Berserker responded with a calm expression.
“We were talking about a broadcast this time.”
“Oh, that. “Are you good at it?”
“I’m so sick of dealing with kids. “It’s not like I was on the air with you for a day or two.”
“Our team leader Jin provides good guidance. “Don’t be stubborn for no reason and follow the direction Team Leader Jin tells you to follow.”
“Sure.”
“But do you know that it is Basakan?”
Jin Se-jeong’s heart sank. However, the person involved, Berserker, answered without blinking an eye.
“Basakan? “I saw it when you were broadcasting.”
“I couldn’t see you when it was broadcast. What do you think is the reason?”
“Well, there could be many reasons. “You haven’t been on the air for a long time, so you might have missed it or it might not be of interest to me.”
“That could be possible. But do you know it well?”
My heart sank once again as I looked at him as if I was a party to him.
“I was watching with interest because he was a guy who bravely attacked you. “If he had appeared on my broadcast, I would have kicked him out, but he didn’t show up.”
“Is that so?”
Choi Jun-ho did not ask any more questions. Jin Se-jeong sighed in relief. And then the topic turned to the guests who would be visiting.
“They said that when the little guy comes, he’ll ask you for some guidance. Please teach him well.”
“Of course. “I have debts from my past inability to win.”
“Don’t hit me too seriously. “He is valuable research power.”
“Don’t touch the head.”
“It’s just right.”
The topic had changed from Basakan to Zolaman, who would soon come to Korea.
‘Do you want to be buried like this…?’
* * *
Jolaman and doctored bodybuilders entered Korea. Unlike the slim men who had already been to Korea several times, the doctors who were visiting Korea for the first time looked around and looked curious.
What’s so surprising is that Korea, which has recently escaped from the threat of demons and is recovering at a remarkable speed, is said to be a hot country in the world.
Humanity is still fighting a fierce war against the threat of monsters, but this place is just like it was before the monsters appeared. There were still monsters left in the outskirts, but it is human nature to judge based on what you see.
Unlike other doctors who went straight to their accommodations from the airport, Dr. Man came to visit me.
“Jun Ho! “It’s been a long time!”
“It’s been a while.”
“Oh, how happy I am!”
“You’re probably happier with someone else than me. no?”
“Haha, it’s perfect. Still, it’s true that I missed you. “I have some questions.”
“It’s probably not me, but things related to me.”
There were a lot of things that Zolaman had to do, starting with Atlantis artifacts, Berserker, sparring, and diplomatic relations between Korea and the United States.
Among them, the two previously mentioned were issues that I was personally anxious about.
“Finish your work first. “Because I’ve prepared.”
“okay! “I’ll finish it quickly and leave.”
“Why are you making such a fuss when it’s the government’s business? “I’ll just figure it out and come back without any noise.”
“huh.”
After sending off the men and doctors, he moved quickly for two days, completed all the work, and appeared before me.
“I’m done.”
“I guess I really wanted to do it.”
“I’m really looking forward to it.”
Zolaman says that the Atlantis artifacts I brought can bring the ancient civilization that was previously only a legend into reality.
I don’t know if there is any productivity in turning the academic world upside down and increasing excitement over new discoveries.
“By the way, I have something to tell Junho.”
“Is it urgent?”
“I’m in a hurry.”
“Then let’s change seats.”
I moved to a quiet place to talk to the guy.
“First of all, this is information from the party. “He said it was important and asked me to tell it to you.”
“It seems like it’s pretty important.”
“that’s right.”
He puts on a lot of weight with a serious expression. I’ll say it quickly, but it makes people curious.
“Hell Master is targeting Junho.”
“The guy called the Three Evils of the League?”
“that’s right. “He is one of the three evils of the league and an awakened person with a truly terrifying gift.”
Then, Zolaman started telling me about the fear of Hell Master.
It is said that among the three evils of the League, it not only exhibits the most unruly behavior, but also creates countless variables due to its unpredictable nature.
As a result, I was unexpectedly caught off guard and suffered great damage several times.
In particular, his ‘instant death’ gift was famous for providing an absolutely inevitable death.
Rather than feeling threatened throughout the story, curiosity arose in other parts.
“Can that gift kill even a divine beast?”
“I… I don’t know.”
“Then it doesn’t mean much.”
What is the meaning of a gift that cannot kill someone stronger than itself?
Instead of calling it instant death, call it selective instant death.
The little man must have heard me muttering and burst into laughter.
“So funny! “If Hell Master had heard that, he would have rolled his eyes and rushed at me.”
“doesn’t care.”
“But it’s difficult to look down on it. Hell Master is someone who dedicated his life to completing the gift. And no one escaped death when the conditions for instant death were met.”
“Can I do that too?”
“…I don’t know what happens to people.”
He gives me advice with a serious expression. Honestly, I wanted to experience the power of that gift.
The league goes crazy and everyone jumps out in surprise, so if you can catch just one guy, that wouldn’t be a bad result.
“Do you know the requirements for an instant death gift?”
“There was a lot of effort to figure that out. But they all failed. “They’re all dead.”
Zolaman also said that he did not know by what principle the Hell Master’s instant death gift was established. Since this is a gift that inflicts absolute death on the opponent, the conditions will be important.
“Can’t resist death?”
“Since it is a gift made of force, there were a lot of people who thought that way. But everyone died. So our concentration is also a condition for instant death.”
It is a death that even I cannot avoid.
Meanwhile, what I’m curious about is that I want to see how that gift works.
And I wonder if this gift works not only on humans but also on monsters and divine beasts.
“I guess there are two ways to deal with him.”
“Two things?”
“okay.”
“Tell me what it is.”
“Either deal with it quickly before the gift activates, or deal with it from a distance.”
“That was raised and discarded 20 years ago when the Hell Master first appeared?”
“I can.”
“…I’m even scarier because I think it’s possible.”
“It’s possible.”
The slim man’s mouth closed.
I didn’t want an answer from him either, so I changed the subject without waiting for an answer.
“Stay here and help me with my research. “I already prepared an interesting topic.”
“What is it about?”
“Correlation between Gift and Awakening.”
“correlation?”
“If a gift is tied to a user, isn’t there a way to break that bond?”
Until now, gifts were given literally at random, so it is not for nothing that they were called gifts from God.
But I think there is a high probability that this statement is wrong.
This is because my blood intake can steal other people’s gifts. So, even if you have an innate gift, wouldn’t it be possible to get rid of it if you find a way to do so?
I made this possible through blood feeding, but I needed the help of some smart guys to establish it as a theory.
And those smart guys entered Korea in large numbers.
You can’t miss this opportunity.
“Uh um. That’s a really interesting topic. Progress in that direction has been slow, so everyone has now withdrawn…”
“I wish I knew now. “I’d like to leave it to you and your friends to research this.”
“To us?”
“I intend to actively cooperate in experiments and have prepared a proper laboratory. Do you want to do it or not?”
Even though it was said like this, it was obvious what choice I would make.
“I will! “Just leave it to me!”
The little guy asked for my suggestion without any hesitation. When asked if they should ask their friends’ opinions, they said that if they had listened to what they had to say, they would have acted more proactively.
I am grateful that they said they would try to persuade me on their own.
I’ll have to make sure I take care of everything.
“But just in case, let’s get together and talk about it.”
Because once you say it in front of me, it becomes irreversible from then on.
“Okay, you have to leave this to me.”
“Let’s talk about it.”
I guess I’ll have to do some pushing and pushing too.
[…Guys, run away. If I don’t do it now, I can’t run away!]
* * *
The next day, I had to come to the office early in the morning because of the torch of the brat. And I was able to face the doctors who had been fighting with me beforehand.
When I saw how anxious he was, I thought it was over, but I pretended to be calm and continued talking.
“This experiment can be very tricky and difficult. Even if they have the best brains in the world.”
“We already talked.”
Eric Clarkson, who inspired me that graduate students are not people, came forward.
“The agenda I heard through James Reed was interesting. Oh my gosh, it’s possible to separate the Awakened and the Gift! I thought there was no awakened person who could prove this! “But you made that offer to us!”
“I thought you might refuse.”
“What a rejection! Do you want to have this exciting thing all to yourself? “That’s nonsense!”
“Isn’t it a difficult topic?”
“That makes it more fun! Isn’t it, friends?”
Everyone agreed with what Eric Clarkson said.
They all had similar eyes and similar energy.
“We can do it!”
[Ah, he jumps in himself.]
“…Then please take care of me.”
Maybe there was no need for pushing or pushing.
