Chapter 2162 – 2162. Eternal Eden

I returned to Seongak Elementary School with the talented people of Saetbyeol Apartment.

But I couldn’t just sit back and play.

Aftercare was needed.

What happened at Saetbyul Apartment. If this becomes known, my reputation will decline. The number of people criticizing me will also increase.

‘Originally, the cleanest thing would be to kill all the residents of Saetbyeol Apartment… The government was keeping an eye on Saetbyul Apartments.’

For the sake of my reputation, I eliminated massacre as an option. Instead, everything that happened in the apartment was blamed on the apartment residents and parasites. Before the apartment survivors could say anything, they reported what happened at Saetbyul Apartment to the media.

Public opinion was easily manipulated because Lee Yeon-hee of the National Intelligence Service participated in my plan. Most of what was being talked about in the media right now was about parasites.

Even when I turn on the TV news, it is abuzz with stories about parasites.

“This is a video of the parasite disturbance at Saetbyeol Apartment. As you can see, this is a video of a parasite sacrificing a human child to a mutant. “The mutants used parasites as managers and raised humans like livestock.”

The news announcer poured out provocative words.

Saetbyeol Apartment residents rioted and fought each other? They tried to find and kill parasites by voting? The voting execution drew attention for a moment, but that was it. People who were accustomed to death were more afraid of the fact that they were raised like livestock by parasites and mutations.

The lord of all things.

Earth’s greatest predator.

It was an incident that shook the human position.

Infected zombies? Monster variant? It could be. But in the end, humans will win. Because humans have brilliant intelligence and a civilization built up over thousands of years. The power of science is strong, and one day the enemies of humanity will succumb. There was that kind of faith.

However, those mutants domesticated humans. That alone is enough to make humans feel fear, but parasites eat human brains and easily obtain memories and knowledge.

Human power, human wisdom, and human history can be robbed so easily that it is absurd.

“Fortunately, Seong Yu-jin, the representative of Seongak Elementary School, resolved the Saetbyul Apartment situation. She personally stayed in Saetbyul’s apartment to find and kill parasites. Seong Yu-jin shared the corpse of the parasite with the government, and the government succeeded in creating a parasite identification device.”

My face appears on the news.

This is a video of an interview I did a while ago via video call. I am wearing a suit and smiling like a politician.

“Hello. “I am Seong Yu-jin, the representative of Seongak Elementary School.”

“Hello. This is reporter Goo Hayan. Thank you for agreeing to the interview.”

Reporter Koo Hayan. She was quite a beauty. She tried to persuade me to come to Vocal Music Elementary School, but it didn’t work out for her. Furthermore, she was even rejected in private meetings.

“This Saetbyul Apartment incident became famous throughout the country. The residents of Saetbyeol Apartments are more afraid of Seong Yu-jin than grateful.”

“I understand. The situation at Saetbyeol Apartment was the worst from the moment I arrived. The parasites were already in full swing. Apartment residents were killed by parasites every day. I felt the need to control the apartment and had no choice but to act somewhat forcefully. “To protect against parasites.”

It’s all parasites’ fault.

Will this work? Of course, it worked. Because what people are interested in and afraid of are parasites, not apartment residents. During the interview, I explained the dangers of parasites.

“Imagine. The person next to you is actually a parasite? Isn’t it terrible? I concentrated on killing the parasites. And although it took some sacrifice, we found the parasite. “Because we shared the parasite corpses with the government, we were able to create a parasite identification device.”

“I heard that the 12 parasites found on the last day were captured and taken away rather than killed on the spot. What did those parasites do?”

There were many people who saw the parasite being subdued and taken away, so it was a natural thing to say.

“It has been handed over to the government. “It was probably taken to a laboratory.”

“People are anxious about that. “The response is, what if the parasite escapes the laboratory and reproduces?”

“Haha. Haven’t you watched too many dramas or movies? Our government is not as incompetent as the governments in the movies. In fact, it is thanks to the government’s efforts that the country is maintained today. Trust the government.”

“… It’s not that I don’t believe it, but I’m still anxious. Because it leaves room. If all the parasites had been killed on the spot, wouldn’t the future have been safer?”

“If you think about it that way, the future was unstable from the beginning.”

“Yes?”

“Parasite exists only in Saetbyul Apartment. How can you be sure? The parasite’s origin may not be Saetbyul Apartments. Additionally, parasites may mutate in different regions. The Earth is large. Parasites may evolve and emerge not only in Korea but also in other countries. “The reason the government studies parasites is to prepare for the worst-case scenario.”

The parasite may already have spread.

The reporter’s face turned pale when he saw that possibility.

“Well, then we…”

“Don’t be too afraid. Don’t we have a parasite detector? Although the price of the discriminator may be expensive now, it will become cheaper over time. It is already provided free of charge to the military. “As long as we are wary of parasites and there is a discriminator, parasites will not be able to seep into our society.”

I said confidently. In times like this, people feel anxious when they mumble. As a hero of the Republic of Korea, I have to reassure people. That way, they will support me more.

“It has been proven that the variants are becoming stronger over time. Some mutants already possess human-level intelligence. What do you think about this?”

“I am willing to become a hunter for all of my people. Mutants evolve? Evolution is not exclusive to variants. As variants evolve, so will humanity. Dear citizens. I will not be defeated. “I will hunt down mutants by any means possible for the safety of the Republic of Korea.”

The interview ended with me revealing my aspirations.

Heroization is progressing steadily. My name is constantly mentioned in the news and on the Internet. This fame may be spreading overseas.

‘Haha. Good.’

A future in which he will be elected president by sweeping all the votes in Korea is envisioned.

Hero President.

It will definitely have that name.

‘I will become president… South Korea will automatically become the world’s most powerful country. Let’s make China and Japan colonies and suck them up. It’s natural to pay tribute to a beautiful woman…’

I laughed while planning the future.

December 7th. A snowy day.

Seongak Elementary School has been stabilized. We stopped expanding Seongak Elementary School. Because it is obvious that the more you physically increase your power, the more checks will come in. Instead, they decided to dig underground and raise the building above. As a bonus, fortification is carried out secretly from others.

‘Seongak Elementary School is just the beginning.’

My goal is not Seongak Elementary School, but South Korea. That too, a unified Republic of Korea.

If we keep focusing only on Seongak Elementary School, when will we be able to eat Korea?

‘Seongak Elementary School alone has clear limitations. Although Seongak Elementary School looks big, it is actually less than 1/10th the size of Seoul.’

In terms of power, it cannot be compared to large corporations. Seongak Elementary School alone had limitations in increasing its influence.

Fortunately, I found a way.

‘Religion. ‘I spread Seongjingyo, which honors me, throughout Korea.’

We also looked for ways to spread it. Fanatics who have completed their mental education. Those who could not join the Royal Guard due to lack of fighting ability, but rose to the rank of ‘priest’. They will become missionaries and move to various parts of Korea. And I will proselytize.

‘Holy President Seong Yu-jin! That doesn’t sound bad.’

Are you saying religion is a drug? Then I will become the drug lord of Korea.

“Representative.”

Son Tae-hyung, the commander of my personal guard and the cardinal of Seongjingyo, approached.

For your information, there is no leader in Seongjingyo. The owner of this religion is me, whom they worship as their god. Since I exist, you cannot dare to become a religious leader.

“The missionaries are ready to leave.”

“Okay? Take care of yourself, okay? “I believe you will do a good job.”

“They will do well. Because true faith has taken root in their hearts.”

“I guess that’s what happens if you do that.”

I stared at Son Taehyung. Taehyung Son did not dare to look me in the eye and closed his eyes. Taehyung Son didn’t even want to receive my shadow.

In the meantime, I tested Taehyung Son’s faith a few times. As a result, this guy was a real fanatic.

‘It’s a boy, but it helps. This guy is the one who established the framework of Seongjingyo.’

Nowadays, more than half of the people at Seongak Elementary School believe in Seongjingyo. Taehyung Son is betraying me? Seongjin Bridge will be shaken immediately. Perhaps because he was a former pastor, he knew very well how to control people.

“Cardinal Son.”

“Yes. “Mr.”

Son Taehyung knelt down.

That damn castle. I don’t like it, but I decide to move on. In the case of Son Tae-hyung, he was very serious.

“You overcame my ordeal. Those who overcome trials must receive a deserved reward. “Your wish was to save your wife and daughter, right?”

Taehyung Son trembled. He is thrilled that the moment he has been waiting for has arrived.

“Yes. “Yes.”

“Wife and daughter. I’ll save just one of you. “Choose.”

I thought Taehyung Son would worry and suffer for a long time. Expectations were wrong. Taehyung Son’s answer was quick.

“Please save her wife from her death.”

“… It’s not your daughter. Why?”

“I want to meet my daughter in a world where she is safe and where salvation comes.”

Well, common sense suggests that it is a harsh world for children. I nodded.

“Prepare for the ceremony.”

This is a long-awaited show.

“Invite those who have been proven to attend the ceremony.”

At this time, it is not a bad idea to solidify the faith of believers.

“Today you lamb will witness divinity.”
