Where the Agency agent took Kim Kyung-hwan was a bunker in Cheongwadae Basement, National Crisis Management Center Situation Room.
Within the Situation Room were senior officials and generals, including President Kang Mingi, Chief of the National Security Service, Chief of the Foreign Security Service, Chief of the National Intelligence Service, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Minister of National Defence, Prime Minister and Secretary of State.
“Welcome, Wizard Kim Kyung-hwan. ”
As soon as Kim Kyung-hwan sat down, they began discussing the contract on the table.
“It means that the magic is given to this contract. ”
Kim Kyung-hwan nods and replies.
“That’s right. Maybe the person signing the contract has some kind of compulsion to keep the contract. Penalties are most likely to come as stated in the contract at the moment of the violation. ”
Then I think inside.
‘It’s not a high probability, it’s actually 100%. ’
This was closer to conviction than speculation. It is because he has already signed a similar contract.
However, because of the provisions set forth in the contract, Kim Gyeong-hwan cannot publish the contents. Therefore, he talked as if he was a pure conjecture, subtracting his own experience.
‘It’s dangerous to talk more! ’
The government did not explain the route of acquisition while commissioning an analysis of this contract. However, Kim Kyung-hwan was not curious about it. Because the unique magic pattern left in the contract was so familiar to him.
I was already convinced when I first saw the contract. It must have been the e-laser that made the contract.
On that day, Kim Kyung-hwan passed away. That unidentified human who pretended to be a xenophobe reached out to the government. And it’s about contracting with the state, similar to how it treats itself. Ah, what a devilish human being.
How the hell did he make contact with the government? ’
In fact, there was one more thing that Kim Kyung-hwan found out through the contract. Compared to the magic in your contract, a stronger energy is felt in this contract. It is possible that magic forces for other functions have been inherent, not just in the performance of the contract.
But I couldn’t spit that out of my mouth. It is because the fact that there is a comparison reveals the existence of the contract itself. If you do, you will be hit by the penalty immediately.
Kim Kyung-hwan continued his dialogue with government officials, hiding some of the facts.
* * *
After some time, the President suggested that we take a break. As if he was waiting, the NIS agent who was sitting in the waiting room approached Kim Kyung-hwan and took him out with a reasonable excuse.
While he was away for a while, most government officials remained in the Situation Room. Give and receive short conversations with each other
“Mr President, no matter what you think, signing that document is too dangerous! ”
“There’s no other way. ”
The President decisively cut off the opponent’s words.
Things were not good. China has noticed the existence of a clandestine soul and is actively seeking to intervene. The United States also has no affirmation, but is likely to have smelled rich.
At the very least, South Korea has a way of communicating with the wizard. The President’s gaze did not know he would leave the contract placed on the table.
‘I said if you sign there, you can get in touch.’
Harden your mind and then open your mouth.
“We now know the power of a reclusive soul, we have witnessed the events he has committed, and we have seen his image. It’s ridiculous to keep leaving him in this situation. At least we need to know his purpose and intent. And we need to Align to avoid conflicts of interest as much as possible. We just need to stop the conflict from happening because of our ignorance of our opponents. ”
Speak in a powerful voice.
“He is more powerful than any known wizard. The trends in China and the United States are not unusual. You can’t stop Tom. What if they find out the material of their secret soul and try to force it into contact? ”
What the president was concerned about was not only the power leak due to the takeover of the powerful wizard.
“Their approach can be far more radical than ours. Besides, that place is rich enough to be me in our territory. In doing so, the lives and security of our people can be seriously threatened. On the part of foreign governments, this is a priority, but it is a priority value that we should never give up. To protect that value, we need to be proactive. ”
The President considers that:
Being able to destroy the city in less than a minute. What would be the most reasonable choice to make if such a wizard were a national and now presumed to be within Korean territory?
President Kang Mingi made a decision.
“He has already given us a way to contact him. I have no choice but to respond. ”
“If so, who · · · signed it? ”
The fact that the magical effect will come upon the signatory at the moment of signing is already the sea that Kim Kyung-hwan predicted.
Risk definitely existed. The President was prepared to assume all the responsibilities of his choice. This did not mean that the President could sign this unchecked object himself.
The final head of the war was the president, which was the same as the president’s inability to infiltrate the enemy camp or control the fighters on his own. If the President signs this document and mistakenly becomes a national enemy and a member of the National Armed Forces, he loses his life or is brainwashed, it will be a greater disaster for the country.
“Let’s find out who should sign and who is eligible for government funding. Perhaps you need enough relief in the event of an unexpected outcome. I earnestly pray that there will be no such misfortune, but also for the reward and the courtesy. ”
After giving such instructions, they waited for Kim Kyung-hwan to return to the situation room. I had one more thing to check.
There are signs that Kim Kyung-hwan is trying to touch him in China right now. I suspect that there may be a connection between Yoon Min-jun and Kim Kyung-hwan. The only thing the government has in common is that they are Korean wizards.
But unfortunately, in this situation, the point of contact is not negligible.
There are only two wizards, Yoon Min-jun and Kim Kyung-hwan, who have maintained a healthy body and mind in this country. One is the most unparalleled of human wizards around the world, and the other is the fastest growing genius among government-generated trainees.
At this point, I have doubts about the government’s position. It was more like a catering act, but I planned to confirm it with myself once.
* * *
Kim Kyung-hwan returned to the situation room.
Numerous eyes shot at you. The young wizard finds his place and sits down, embracing them boldly.
Kim Kyung-hwan did not feel much pressure when he saw the brains of the country looking at him with a serious expression.
The president or the NIS is getting used to his face, but most of the rest were the first to see him. Kim Kyung-hwan was also able to rest because he was here with some pretty tall people. Knowing that, all I felt was that the old men in suits and the old men in military suits were sitting together.
‘Then I got a little tough too. ’
It was unimaginable when I dropped out of high school and was stuck at home. Kim Kyung-hwan has suffered from interplanetary fistula for quite some time. I used to suffer from the urge to flee when I had multiple eyes as I do now.
When I was in Hung Leung, my personality changed 180 degrees, so I was full of confidence and arrogance. Nevertheless, when I confronted the president or the senior officials, I used to shrug without even knowing. The opponent’s position and symbolic weight are crushed.
But Kim Kyung-hwan, who is not at all tense at the sight of the country’s middlemen, was amazed.
‘When I was in Huneng, I was nervous when I stood in front of these old men who could use magic and ignored the instructors and trainees. ’
Kim Kyung-hwan couldn’t feel the atrophy at the moment, even though his imaginary confidence was forcibly torn away by the arrogance that was wrapped around him.
His experiences have been too harsh and unusual to be shrunk against the ‘ordinary human beings’ who have only a high social status.
‘Even if you put everything else aside, you have a different presence. ’
Kim Kyung-hwan recalls the existence beyond the red sky, which covered the illusors or horns he encountered in his head, and the presence of Karaderina emerging from the Busan channel. Compared to them, they didn’t have less than a dog now.
While Kim Kyung-hwan was in such a state of mind, the National Intelligence Commissioner rushed out.
“Actually, I have one more thing to check with Wizard Kim Gyeong-hwan today. ”
Whether it was a signal or not, the 100-inch TV screen on the front of the situation room changes.
“· · · Who is that? ”
Kim Kyung-hwan, who did not assume his intentions, wonders. What appeared on the giant screen was a photograph of a young man and a lifeline.
Looking at the face on the giant screen, Kim Kyung-hwan mutters.
“What’s that kid doing? Does he look like that? ’
I felt in the picture the dark energy of my childhood when I was in the house refusing to go to school. The seeds that spend most of the day inside the front door felt unique.
“Do you know this man? ”
Kim Kyung-hwan shakes his head on the NIS Commissioner’s question. I felt the look in the eyes of those who looked at them turn strange.
“I’ve never seen him before. ”
Then I think inside. Wow, look at those unmotivated eyes. You look just like me, but you look like you live all over the world.
“Remember that. Have you ever stumbled across or mixed conversations? ”
Kim Kyung-hwan pauses silently and stutters his memory.
“I don’t know if I stumbled across it, but at least it’s not memorable. ”
The Commissioner, who heard the answer, said with a serious expression.
“His name is Yoon Min-jun. It’s the people of Korea.”
Kim Kyung-hwan said, “So what? ’I looked at the Commissioner with a face like that.
“Have you ever heard of this name? ”
“· · · It’s a common name, but none of my people know it. ”
Senior officials and soldiers gathered in the Situation Room exchange their eyes. Then the Chief of the Agency sent a signal and the screen switched.
“Busan?”
What was new was some footage. The appearance of the city was ripe in the eyes of Kim Kyung-hwan. The image of the wretched city of Busan.
If there is anything different from the footage that has been repeatedly transmitted on the air so far that the destruction is over, the destruction is still underway, not as the city is in the process of being restored.
Kim Kyung-hwan noticed. That was a video taken during the Busan crisis.
Khh! Khh!
There was a noise in the video. An octopus-like object that mixes blue and grey in the air flicks through the air like a whip. In line with that, the city cracks to the ground and the buildings collapse.
“The only thing in the press is the footage taken from that street. Destroying a city is known only as an unidentified tentacle of xenophobia. ”
Kim Kyung-hwan questioned. I only know that myself. What do you mean, you have something hidden?
The video moves on to the next scene. A scene that has just been enlarged. It was a position corresponding to the source of tentacles.
“· · oh? What is that?”
Kim Kyung-hwan said without even knowing.
“Isn’t that a person? ”
The Commissioner nods.
“Tentacles were created from the author’s heart floating in the air, moving and destroying the city. This information is a secret that has not been made public in the media. ”
Kim Kyung-hwan was hardened by the shock. The source of the Busan catastrophe is not xenophobic, is it human?
This is followed by the calm voice of the Commissioner.
“You can’t read your face with this video right now. But our government, through other channels, has found the author’s identity card. ”
“Is that true? ”
“His identity in Busan is the young man Yoon Min Joon I just saw. ”
Kim Kyung-hwan felt the mess in his head.
‘Wait, that doesn’t make any sense! ’
How could a man do such a thing? I couldn’t believe it.
‘No matter how witchy you are, you’re sensible. ’
At that moment, I thought of passing like lightning in his head.
‘No, that’s ridiculous! ’
The NIS Commissioner’s words go down in his ears trying to deny it.
“Our government tried to make contact with Yoon Min Joon a while ago. But he left only one copy of that contract and hid his tracks. ”
Kim Kyung-hwan stares at the contract placed on the table with confused eyes. The government was now revealing to itself how that contract had been obtained. However, his identity was completely different from what he had imagined.
‘That’s ridiculous! ’
He was about to get sleepy. I keep repeating the same thoughts in my head like a squirrel treadmill.
It is certainly the e-laser who created this contract.
The government said it received this contract from Yoon Min-jun, my brother and I.
By the way, he knew it was the source of the Busan crisis.
The eLaser is human.
… yes, the e-laser is human.
· · · · · · Human.
“Oh, my God! ”
After thinking this far, Kim Kyung-hwan was frustrated with the possibility that he could no longer ignore it.
“But wasn’t he an unidentified old man who lived in seclusion from history for hundreds of years? He filed a birth declaration in Korea in such a way that he was registered · · ·. Besides, are you with me? ’
The conversation that Eraser has had with himself so far passes through his head.
Happiness and superiority in the fact that the e-laser chose only me among the human race. Respect and worship for his great power and vast knowledge that transcends his own common sense.
Then one night, a night of nightmares. His posture I realized after that day. Even the horror I had against him.
Oman memories and emotions mix and explode.
Kim Kyung-hwan ended up screaming loudly, with a distorted face and no distinction as to whether he was angry or crying.
‘He’s the same age as me. ’
