Chapter 381: Forgetting Something?
'Looks like things are working properly,' Haru smiled, his plan was very simple to the end.
He allowed Dok-ja to spread the word about the book of prophecies knowing what the guy was aiming for, Haru was already looking for a way so that most of the forces in Seoul gather in Gwang-hwamun. So Dok-ja's plan came in at the perfect time.
In Gwang-hwamun Haru was planning on forming alliances with the king or defeating them and adding them to the group depending on the situation but Han Soo-young caused an uproar by massacring the kings.
Even then Haru's plan wasn't affected a lot, instead, it was helpful since he was able to use her cruel tactics to his advantage when he was offered the throne.
Dokkaebis were beings who liked things to be under their control, that is what Haru was able to understand about them till now.
Even though it may appear that the incarnations have a choice on how they can complete the scenarios, till now that freedom has only been present in name only....
'Unless you just turn everything on its head,' That is exactly what Haru planned after he found out that he could do that at Chung-muro station, making it look like he was planning an uprising against the tyrants known as Dokkaebi.
The people in the Seoul Dome may be divided into groups, but there was one thing they all had in common.
And that was their hatred for the Dokkaebis.
So, Haru made use of that hate and stage a revolt of sorts which he knew would receive a backlash from the Dokkaebis.
It could be that they would kill a big number of them, but...
'They won't touch the ones the constellations favor, especially strong ones,' Which is why Haru told Queresha and the others to make sure they attract as much attention from the constellations as possible without appearing suspicious.
[A/N: If you want to understand this more, I'll give you an example.
Suppose there are two men who had committed the same crime, the crime is murder. But there is a difference between the two of them.
One of them is a normal man and the other one is the son of the rich man who has tons of connections in the police and the court.
So the question is who among the two would suffer the proper punishment here?
This is the best example I can come up with on the spot, hopefully, most of you don't need to read it to understand what I implied here.]
This was done in order to save them from the possible indiscriminate slaughter that could've happened, but Haru thought that there was only a 20 % chance of this happening because...
'They can't just kill people who have survived till this point randomly, so the Dokkaebi scattered them and decided to mooch off the coins from them,' Haru crossed his arms as he used his legs to move the swing.
It was a weird scene to see a grown man sitting on a kid's swing with a serious look as he moved and swung back and forth.
Anyways, the Dokkaebi decided to break up the newly formed revolution and create hatred in them for Haru.
This would happen because the reason a good number of their close group members will die now, and it would be because of him. Haru's idea of staging a revolution brought about this result, so he would be blamed for it, that is if he didn't prepare anything for it.
As he used the swing most of the members of his group are searching the surroundings of their new base to look for people who were in Gwang-hwamun.
Kanae's group members who had already received orders to regroup at their mansion if such a situation occurs were also doing the same thing all over Seoul along with Kanae, Hae-in, Jin-ah, Alea, Hee-won, The former Apostles and Zenobia's whole group was working all over the city, they were converging towards Yong-san district while picking up all of the people they can find.
This was already planned beforehand, the moment Haru and the others left for Gwang-hwamun, Queresha started to move towards the Hannam hill where their mansion was, that place was very special to them, and not just because they lived there.
Queresha – We are gathering supplies here already, but bring as much as you all can without reducing your speed, our main priority is to regroup safely with minimal casualties so give me updates and I'll send a rescue group with ration if you happen to not find any.
Zenobia – Are the generators working there?
Queresha – No problem about that for now, but we'll run out of fuel soon and most of the petrol pumps have already blown up, so we need to work on getting a steady power supply, the network system would be for naught if the devices are dead.
Zenobia – I'll be rushing over then, but it'll still take a bit of time since we have a sizable amount of supplies that need to be moved here.
-Contact everyone when you cross the bridge, they'll send people to help you move faster.
Zenobia – Thank you I will do that, also I am about to get some important information from a reliable source, and I'll relay it as soon as it comes.
Haru was curious about what information Zenobia was talking about but...
-Be careful and make sure to keep yourself safe.
Haru was more worried about his group members than the information for now, he could get that later.
Zenobia – I will!
Hae-in – I just feel like sending a meme but I guess this isn't the time for this.
Alea – Yes, it really isn't, I gathered 20 people from Gwang-hwamun already. I also destroyed something called a coin farm around here in Gang-buk District and I need to move a lot of people here.
Kanae – I am in Eun-pyeong District, wait for me at Kook-min University and make it your temporary base.
Alea – Sure.
Alea and Kanae were quite close to each other compared to the others, but they still had the Bukhansan National Park in between so they decided to go around the edges and meet at the spot they talked about.
Kanae planned to hand over the people she had found to Alea and then go look further west for more people.
Hae-in – you can leave the east to me.
-Where are you Jin-ah?
Haru asked the only one who was missing currently and...
Jin-ah – Hihihi~! Not telling.
-...Well, sure let's all meet up before seven days and decide what to do with the next scenario.
With that Haru placed the phone back into his pocket after seeing that everyone agreed.
'So, what do I do with Dok-ja?' Haru thought for a bit, no it would be clear to say that he already had an idea of what he was about to do.
"He was quite lucky, he must be thinking something like that," Haru smiled slightly, the thing with Dok-ja was the least of his worries, the only reason he had held himself back till now was for a special reason.
'Your test begins now, Dok-ja, what will you do?' Haru was waiting for a moment like this and it has arrived.
"You better not disappoint me," Haru knew that leaving Dok-ja unsupervised was the best possible thing, there were several reasons for this and one of them was that Dok-ja was quite careful, he only moved when no one suspected him or so was his chain of thoughts.
'This time I'll know for sure...' Just then Haru was attacked from behind.
Well, not really attacked since...
"Found you!!" Jin-ah hugged him with a big smile.
"I knew this would happen, but how did you know I was in the Guro district?" Haru asked and...
"Didn't you know that Queresha Unnie added a feature to the phone that lets her know everyone's location?" Jin-ah and Haru nodded.
"Wasn't it added for you and Alea though?" Jin-ah pouted since Haru was correct it was mainly added for them but...
"She made it so we can all use it now since it would be helpful for us to know where others are if we are in danger," Jin-ah winked as...
"So, you used that and came to me, you know this will get you in trouble right?" Haru said and Jin-ah puffed up her face.
"I didn't find anyone from Gwang-hwamun on my way here, that Dokkaebi deliberately transferred you this far away, all of them are most likely across the river, well I am pretty sure you already knew that," Jin-ah said and Haru shrugged.
He was also looking for any people around this district and he couldn't find any, so he had an idea about what the Dokkaebi was planning but it was confirmed.
"Well, whatever let's go, we need to make our way to the new base," Haru said while standing up because there was no point in hanging around here.
"Yeah, but don't you think you are forgetting something Haru?" Jin-ah said and Haru tilted his head.
