chapter 317
317 episodes
Li Junming’s mouth, once closed, did not know how to open it.
The problem is that the silence is longer than I thought.
It will probably be a concern.
The Thousand Devils are monsters created by the Confederate Army. He succeeded in creating a monster’s heart with a bizarre thing called a living core, and transplanting it into a monster to create a two-horned monster.
Here, the biological core is a condensed product of squeezing and condensing the Awoken’s Force. I think it was probably used by awakeners who rebelled against the party, awakeners from other countries, or prisoners of war.
or not
The force mass squeezed out in that way was transplanted into the heart of the monster and raised until it reached the stage of two horns.
The problem would be the fact that the two-horned monsters refused to control them. It must be true that other than this, it is a satisfactory result.
However, the Confederate Army was officially denying that they were the creators of the Pandemonium.
If you admit this, it’s only natural that you will take on the responsibility of using a demon to get rid of your own people.
but that doesn’t work for me
Everyone should be clear in front of me.
whether you did it or not
There was no way out of the vague words from the beginning.
Li Jun-ming, who saw my momentum, must have deepened his thoughts as well.
If you can’t make a decision, I’ll let you do it.
“… … .”
“Are you undecided?”
“It takes time, it takes time. Let’s see if we know anything from above.”
“I’ve already given you a lot.”
“… Even if I don’t know, my country may know. Please.”
I’m just going to roll my head around anyway, so do I need to hear your story?
I thought so, but Chun Myeong-guk thinks differently.
“That’s right. Instead, I don’t give you much time.”
“Yes. thank you.”
Li Jun-ming with an urgent expression left his seat, and Cheon Myeong-guk looked at me with a calmer expression.
“Is that what you wanted from the beginning?”
“Yes.”
“Tell me in advance. Even when I become president, I don’t want to see blood in the stool.”
Cheon Myeong-guk speaks with the most pitiful expression on his face.
Was what I was talking about that serious?
“I didn’t think it was that important.”
“Isn’t that the standard of Superin? That’s a huge number for me. Isn’t it something related to a plus plus stage monster that isn’t anything else?”
I don’t think the two-horned monster is that difficult for me anymore.
Anyway, I guess that’s my standard.
“I will try to share it in advance in the future.”
“Please don’t try and tell me in advance.”
“I will try.”
“haha! I miss President Jeon Han-cheol.”
“The current president is the president.”
“That is correct.”
Chun Myeong-guk, who sighed and shook his head as to whether this was the answer he wanted, asked me with a look of giving up.
“Do you intend to remove the facility, Superin-nim?”
It’s natural.
“When peace returns, I will definitely look elsewhere. Human beings tend to think differently when they have free time. You can quit the tedious attrition and try to make a second Pandemonium by gathering it all together.”
Of course, it is best to cut the shoots beforehand.
I didn’t want to let the back of my head ache.
“That would be a better way for the government as well.”
“Yes, but will the other person admit it and come out… … .”
“It doesn’t matter what the other person decides.”
“Yes. I misunderstood. you’re right. Their permission is not important.”
Because it was me who moved anyway. The decision, as always, is mine.
I was just wondering if I would admit it myself or take a step back.
“They will deny it. This is because the moment they admit that they created the Pangolins, they are throwing away all the causes.”
“Then, isn’t that a good thing?”
“Yes? why… Are you going to kill them all?”
Why are you asking a stupid question?
“If we get rid of the research center, our competitiveness will probably go down a few steps more than we have now.”
“… Surely the loved ones will die, but since ancient times, when China is divided and weakened, opportunities have come to us. They’re not doing the right thing, so I can’t make excuses.”
Still, it is a just country of Cheon Myeong-guk, but he is willing to compromise for the sake of the national interest.
If the president pushes me like this, I feel at ease.
I decided to wait patiently to see what kind of results Li Junming would bring.
* * *
“As a result of inquiring into my home country, the answer was that it was not related.”
Li Junming said to me with a pretty confident expression on what they were discussing.
I expected this.
In the end, the most important thing is the interests of one’s own country, no matter how close you are. For Li Junming, he must have thought that it was in his own interest to hide the Pandemonium facilities.
If so, you are responsible for that decision.
“Then, is it okay to assume that the Thousand Panther crafting facility has nothing to do with the Confederate Army?”
“… That’s right.”
“Even if it was destroyed, it would have nothing to do with it.”
“… … .”
“Why is it that an unrelated place has been destroyed?”
“That is correct. But I don’t think it’s right to destroy indiscriminately. I think the first thing to do is to check what principle it is working on and what kind of research it is doing.”
Those were the words that came out of me with a hard head roll.
You can see what the plan is just by looking at it.
It’s to buy time.
It might work if it had been implemented on me before I got high-speed flight, but it’s a pointless strategy at the moment.
“It’s a facility where monsters that slaughtered countless numbers of their own people came out, but it’s hard to understand.”
“That’s what I’m saying from the belief that a recurrence can be prevented only if we understand the truth in detail.”
Humans are very strange animals. Seeing you say things like that until the end, even though you know that you can’t be persuaded by such sophistry.
[That’s why humans are stupid.]
What do you mean by suddenly saying that all humans are stupid?
[Because humans are like that. It is unusual for a human like you to appear.]
I don’t know if this is a compliment or an insult.
Anyway, what I want to say is that everything Li Junming says is nonsense.
Then you can’t hold me accountable for everything that happens from now on.
Destruction without responsibility, I remember when I first became a civil servant hunter.
I turned all the guys who were obstructing the execution of official duties into anti-military gods.
It was a very enjoyable time because I was supplied with a useful recovery agent from Se-hee Lee.
“I am well aware that it has nothing to do with returning home. I’ll take care of the rest on my own. I have an urgent business to do.”
“Come on, wait a minute… … !”
Li Junming tried to catch me, but I ignored it and went outside.
* * *
Choi Jun-ho left and the atmosphere subsided.
President Cheon Myeong-guk decided that dialogue could no longer be continued in this atmosphere and declared a short break.
Li Jun-ming, who had moved in, was followed by an aide.
“It will be fine. We have enough time.”
“Well. It would be nice to be able to do that for sure, but it won’t be easy. Didn’t you just go out to attack the lab?”
“No. Even if we go, wouldn’t it take time?”
It was a top secret among the top secrets known only to the highest-ranking members of the party. The first Pandemonium completed was a half-success, so the leadership was putting great effort into creating a controlled plus-plus stage monster.
In the meantime, Junho Choi pointed out. Li Junming quickly informed the party of this fact. The current location may have been exposed, so it was planned to move the related facilities.
“right. The good news is that you have some time. A few days is enough.”
Even if Choi Jun-ho is moving now, he can understand it. If so, you only need to move the core data.
The aide carefully advised Li Jun-ming’s positive thoughts.
“But there are parts where Junho Choi’s movement speed is not explained.”
“Even if Choi Jun-ho transcended human limits, that would be impossible. won’t be able to stand it The limits of space-based gifts are clear.”
Now, the research center that made the pangolin is the center of the People’s Republic of China. Here, the gift of the awakened was also studied, and countless studies were conducted on its principle and whether or not it occurred.
Among them, the most strategic gift was the space series.
What if the Awakened, who had no space restrictions, could freely move around each country carrying a nuclear bomb?
It is no exaggeration to say that it can seize world hegemony at once.
However, the study was unsuccessful. As the distance increases, the burden on the body increases, and the fragile human body cannot withstand it.
What Li Junming is confident about is receiving the research results.
“Still, Alishim knows that he has a space movement series… .”
“Don’t let me do that.”
After sending a warning to the party to beware of Choi Jun-ho’s space-related gifts, Li Jun-ming returned to the meeting.
In the absence of Choi Jun-ho, the conversation proceeded much more smoothly.
What the Korean side wanted was to participate in the reconstruction project. At this opportunity, I felt the intention to enter and dominate various industries.
As Junming Li, he accepted it positively because restoring the devastated land was the top priority. Instead, he quietly held the knife inside.
It was Choi Jun-ho’s fault that this civil war broke out. The guy urged Wei Hao to split into North and South, and Shinsung Group moved to split Hong Kong and Guangdong Province. Taking advantage of that opportunity, the West also turned its back.
However, the confrontation was not good as they are now in their prime. Over time, the time will come when China, which has more territory and population, will again overwhelm it. At that time, you just have to trample it down so that you don’t even think of rebelling again.
As he was quietly sharpening his knife and negotiating, his smartphone vibrated over and over again. It was a communication from the center, but since it was the most important moment in the negotiations, I ignored it and focused on the conversation with President Cheon Myung-guk.
The conversation in which the interests of each of them were harmonized while hiding their true intentions came to an abrupt end.
“I hope we can become a mutually supportive relationship in the future.”
President Cheon Myeong-guk’s words were very offensive, but Li Jun-ming nodded his head with a feeling of reassurance.
“I hope too.”
It was around the time the conversation was over.
What greeted Li Jun-ming was the face of an aide on the verge of collapse.
“Prime Minister! It’s a big deal!”
“Why but?”
“It happened in my country, in my country!”
“What happened?”
“Well, that’s what… … .”
Seeing the hesitating assistant, Li Junming felt annoyed.
“Speak quickly!”
“The research facility has been destroyed.”
“What? Research facility?”
Li Junming’s expression changed drastically. As he beckoned, the aide began to explain what was going on in his home country. The results were shocking.
Two hours after Choi Jun-ho went out and Ri Jun-ming had a meeting with President Cheon Myeong-guk, the research center where he had been researching and manufacturing the Thousand Panthers had been destroyed.
What happened next to Li Junming was astonishing.
“Are you sure you didn’t even send Xiao?”
In case of any unforeseen circumstances, a superman was dispatched to the laboratory. It was the safest place, and since it had to be carried out in secret, it was after sending Choin, Li Junming’s nephew and reliable companion.
“Everyone is dead.”
“Uh, uh! Shao… … .”
As a dizzying vertigo hit, Li Jun-ming, who had lost strength in his legs, staggered.
“Prime Minister!”
“Are you okay?”
The shocking news left him in a state of confusion, but he also broke through the turmoil and became the prime minister. After he managed to regain consciousness, he told the attendants.
“Go back home. There, we get the details.”
“Yes!”
What was waiting for Li Jun-ming, who returned to his residence, was the news that everything that the Confederate Army had prepared for Kwon-to had been destroyed.
The annihilation of China’s most elite scientists, the destruction of the achievements of all resources concentrated.
Because the security was so thorough, data backup was not allowed.
In other words, it was the destruction of all data.
Everything the People’s Republic of China has invested in has disappeared without a trace.
Even if the data is restored, it is impossible to guarantee how much it will be saved.
It was obvious who was responsible for all these accidents.
“You have to ask!”
Li Jun-ming, who had managed to recover his mind, headed to the Blue House despite the opposition of those around him.
Choi Jun-ho is from the Republic of Korea. Therefore, it was the Korean government that should be investigated for what he had done.
Needless to say, I can’t control him. Now I just needed a place to release these boiling feelings.
Li Jun-ming, who arrived at the Blue House with repeated urging, almost dragged the people in the way and arrived in front of the Oval Office.
What appeared in front of him was President Cheon Myung-guk, who was hardening his expression.
… It was Choi Jun-ho, who was making a face that nothing in the world was going on.
How did he get here after destroying the lab in Chongqing?
“This is quite rude.”
President Cheon Myung-guk’s words filled with anger were not even heard.
Li Jun-ming’s gaze was fixed only on Choi Jun-ho.
Choi Jun-ho, who was watching quietly, opened his mouth.
“Did something happen?”
Choi Jun-ho, who raised the corners of his mouth, brought out the words.
“As if something had happened.”
That’s the end of the ceremony.
Li Jun-ming, unable to overcome the boiling anger, collapsed as it was.
