chapter 12
EP 3 – Strategies for winning in a new era (3)
“There have been many times in my life as a Democratic Party that I have been instigated as a gangster…”
– To prevent a coup, each local police agency has decided to establish an emergency connection. Each local government is monitoring the movements of the military…
-In the coup plot exposed by Assemblyman Han Seung-moon, angry citizens went on a march on the road. We will connect you on the spot.
-Stop the civil war simulation!
– Stop!
– Let’s overthrow the military coup!
– Let’s overthrow it!
Rep. Yang Pan-seok turned the TV channel with a smirk.
“It’s the first time I’ve ever driven anyone for recoil.”
“…it works well.”
“Fun.”
* * *
The media play that Yang Pan-seok and I had planned turned Korea upside down.
Mentioning a coup d’état in a country that has undergone two military coups has a greater effect than the North Korean tyranny.
As if when the Ground Operations Command reacted, the attitude changed to a loyal attitude, and Vice Minister Cha Jae-gyun took control of the South Korean army in an instant.
He is said to be carrying out the siege of Seoul using the 1st Corps and 7th Mobile Corps.
“The 1st Corps has the largest artillery brigades in Asia, and the 7th Mobile Corps is the largest main force of the Korean army with a majority of the tanks it possesses.”
“Uh, um…”
“The 1st Corps will slowly push down from Gangbuk with overwhelming firepower, and the 7th Mobile Corps will attack Gangnam in an instant.”
“Is that so?”
“The 7th and 1st Army are the largest corps and the next largest corps, respectively, so the rest of the corps are guarding against the formation of a siege network and the North Korean front. Did you understand?”
could not understand.
“Yes, I understand.”

“Take this.”
“thank you. Senator.”
“Haha… I’m breathing hard now that I’m back in society. I knew how helpless the old man was in the wild.”
Yang Pan-seok shivered and sat next to me. We were sipping coffee from a vending machine in the hallway for a while.
“Thanks to you, I got in touch with the Ministry of National Defense. What do you mean?”
“I almost died three times. These hungry bastards have never contacted me even though my grandparents are on the brink of King Yeomra…”
Rep. Yang Pan-seok had a rather bad relationship with his children.
“Have you never been contacted?”
“A few kakaotalks at most. I also got mad and didn’t reply. I need to call you, call me…”
“Right now, people all over the country must be holding on to their phones, and their families must have suffered from communication problems as well. Don’t be too heartbroken.”
Yang Pan-seok picked it up and smirked, then began to press and straighten the wrinkled forehead.
“You’re also very good. Is it the 6th day today since you became a member of the National Assembly?”
“Because the martial law command arrived the other day… Yes, I am the 6th member of the National Assembly.”
“Let’s live and be strong.”
“thank you.”
He tapped the back of my hand and got up and scrambled to somewhere.
Suddenly Yang Pan-seok turned around and beckoned.
“Ah, a hospital.”
“Yes, Senator.”
“Hey, Gam Ji-yoon or Cheon Hwa-ran. And in the case of your sister…”
superpowers.
“Can you talk to Vice Minister Cha Jae-gyun?”
“Am I alone?”
“Uh, I have an appointment with the Deputy Prosecutor at the Supreme Prosecutors’ Office. The Prosecutor General is dead, and that friend is acting as the Prosecutor General, so we are going to recruit him.”
“Once I finish explaining ‘yes’, then I will take the next steps when Dr. Yang arrives.”
“Thank you for that.”

When I returned to the dormitory, the cold person was finally receiving a blood transfusion.
“Ah, cold. Fortunately, the.”
“…Oh, Senator.”
“Hey, did you get the tetanus shot?”
“Yeah, I’m fine now.”
Cheon Hwa-ran, who was taking care of him next to him, smiled softly and nodded his head.
“Thank you, Senator.”
“Hey, do you see the blue one too? Didn’t Jiyoon tell you? A blue crab is floating in the air.”
Cheon Hwaran nodded her head with a dark expression.
“…even though the world doesn’t look blue like Jiyoon, when Jiyoon floats something or flies, blue things appear overlapping.”
“Then the blue mist has something to do with psychic powers.”
“It’s actually blue pellets.”
Ga Ji-yoon, who was sitting quietly next to him, shook his head.
“no! Cloud right! Look at this!”
“My mom told me not to use it…!”
Hwaran Cheon quickly grabbed the floating cell phone and hid it in his pocket.
“ha. It looks like a mist, but if you look closely, it is a form of fine grains agglomerated. And I think it has something to do with superpowers.”
She came with an empty cup and held it to me. Then he frowned and waved his hands.
“If you manipulate these, granules, into the form of water molecules…”
A few drops of water pooled in the cup.
“…what did you do?”
“Ugh… Even if it gives me a little headache, I can even make water from these granules.”
“What, what mana? Is it magic?”
“Yes?”
“Oh, no, what. There is something in the game.”
Hey, this is going to be fun.
“I’m going to see the Vice Minister of Defense right now, would you like to go with me?”
*
I, Ga Ji-yoon, Cheon Hwa-ran, and Yeo Do-yeon were sitting awkwardly in a secret room at the martial law headquarters.
Everyone was so nervous that they couldn’t speak. We spent about 20 minutes waiting for the loan.
Deputy Minister Cha Jae-gyun walked in with an urgent pace and sat down. He motioned the lieutenant out and looked at his watch.
“Sorry to keep you waiting. The situation is urgent, so I don’t have much time. I made it in about 20 minutes. Rep. Han Seung-moon said you found it, what is your purpose?”
He continued to talk over and over. I don’t think the explanation needs to be long.
“Ji Yoon-ah.”
“Hey hey!”
Ga Ji-yoon raised her hand like Superman and floated in the air. It floats up like a balloon and swims with a frog. Hwaran Cheon covered her face in embarrassment.
Cha Jae-gyun had his mouth wide open and had a blank expression on his face. I smiled softly.
“Sir, do you believe in superpowers?”
“…………ah. Yes. this, uh Well.”
Hwaran Cheon personally demonstrated.
“Blue grains, which are invisible to ordinary people, are scattered in the air. How do I put this together…”
There is water in the cup. slightly increased than before.
“You can also make water. Also, I did not know the principle, but I healed my husband who was stabbed with a knife.”
“It’s not just that. Here, in my sister’s case, her physical ability has risen to that of a living being. Is it possible for a person to avoid monsters on someone?”
Cha Jae-gyun muttered with a blank face.
“Keep talking.”
“After the gates opened, it seems that psychics are starting to appear. In particular, blue gems appear when looking at the corpse of a monster.”
I pointed to Gam Ji-yoon, who was swimming in the air while waggling.
“When this child put a jewel on her body, it absorbed it. The kid who only said that the blue crab filled the world with haze, then started to float the spoon.”
I leaned against the desk slightly.
“There is something. Deputy Minister.”
Vice Minister Cha Jae-gyun muttered ambiguously.
“This isn’t some mana or magic stone…”
“You know?”
“Linji did a little.”
I think it was Lindsay.
Deputy Minister Cha Jae-gyun pressed the microphone on his shirt collar and spoke to someone.
“Uijeongbu, lieutenant general Jang should take care of it. Ugh, I’ll have to wait another hour or so. Call me if anything happens.”
The deputy minister stood up.
“Follow me for a moment.”
He glanced at me, then put the mic to his lips again.
“Bring a wheelchair.”
*
Vice Minister Cha Jae-gyun opened the door of a dark warehouse. It was a controlled area where no one passed by.
I entered the warehouse in a wheelchair pushed by Yeo Do-yeon. The vice-minister turned on the light and locked the door.
“actually……”
🤩 Cha Jae-gyun removed the tarp.
“Jewels from the corpses of monsters have already been confirmed.”
He grabbed a cartridge and placed it chin on the desk.
“Actually, it was the blue debris left behind where the bombardment had taken place. I was instructed to collect it just in case.”
When the cartridge was opened, it was full of blue glass fragments. It was similar to that jewel at that time, shining softly.
Deputy Minister Cha Jae-gyun said calmly.
“In the case of Jiyoon Gam, it seems that her abilities have improved since she came into contact with the jewel…”
He put on leather gloves and looked at Cheonhwaran. It meant that it was okay to put these jewel powders on Gam Ji-yoon.
Cheon Hwa-ran answered with a slightly distorted expression.
“I will do it. I don’t know what’s going to happen…”
No, wait.
“Why don’t we go out of the warehouse?”
“……”
“Oh, no. It could explode…”
I said this out of question about safety, but people looked at me like trash.
“Vice Minister Cha Jae-gyun is an important person right now, and there is no need for the rest to be there…”
“……”
“no. Let’s go.”
Cha Jae-gyun grabbed a handful of jewel shavings and slowly poured it onto Cheon Hwa-ran’s palm.
“Hey…!”
With the strange groan of Cheon Hwa-ran, who frowned, the jewel became a light and entered her body.
“Has anything changed?”
“Uh-huh, you look a little better, don’t you?”
“What?”
Cheon Hwa-ran answered with a little hesitation.
“The grains. I think I know what Jiyoon said. It’s so blurry that you can’t see the world well. Like a blue mist…”
“Then you can’t make water like before?”
“Oh, no. That, the emotional feeling…”
When Cheonhwaran was caressing in the air, a puddle of water the size of a bucket was formed.
“Hey!”
– Whoa!
A ball of water fell on the head of the Commander-in-Chief of the Republic of Korea Armed Forces.
drop. drop. Water drops fall from your hair.
Cha Jae-gyun stared at Cheon Hwa-ran with an expressionless expression.
*
“…If you face the magic stone from the monster’s corpse, the abilities of the psychic will be strengthened. It seems almost right.”
Cha Jae-gyun continued to rub his face with a handkerchief.
“I don’t know how strong my superpowers will be to turn them into full power. Oh, wait a minute.”
Cha Jae-gyun leaned on the desk and took a deep breath. A sigh escaped from the face covered by the hand.
“How the world is going to turn…”
“There are monsters, too, aren’t they worthy of superpowers?”
“Let me think about it for a moment.”
Hwaran Cheon was sweating profusely and kept her mouth shut. The eyes are spinning round and round.
I stabbed Yeo Do-yeon’s stomach in the back of the head as she was holding a wheelchair behind me. it was soft
“It’s a pig.”
“What.”
“Let’s absorb that, too.”
“What?”
“Powerful. OK?”
Cha Jae-gyun muttered, ‘This isn’t even the Avengers…’ and muttered, and Gam Ga-yoon, who was smiling all over the place, was cutting through the air with a frog swimming.
Yeo Do-yeon put her hand into the ammunition box with a reluctant expression. There are plenty of crumbs.
“Hey! …Ah, I’m sorry.”
Embarrassed by the sudden burst of profanity, she shoved a handful of crumbs into her body.
“Sister, do a strength test.”
slap. slap. She quickly came over to me and tapped my cheek. I felt a little embarrassed, but I calmly asked.
“Do you feel stronger?”
“Well, I don’t know-”
– Kwajik!
The handle of the wheelchair she was holding was crushed.
No one spoke, and I swallowed dry saliva.
Yeo Do-yeon muttered a little.
“Chip.”
