Chapter 2164 – 2164. Eternal Eden

I quickly took out my smartphone and accessed the internet.

As Na Chae-young said, the media was reporting the words of Gwangju City Hall.

-Gwangju in crisis! A group of mutants and mutants have taken over a large hospital!

-Large Gwangju hospital. The military cannot directly step forward due to safety issues.

-Mayor of Gwangju. Requesting help from psychics across the country.

All kinds of articles are pouring in. There was also a video of the mayor of Gwangju holding a press conference himself. I clicked on the video and watched it.

“This is Gwangju Mayor Kim Gwang-seok.”

Kim Gwang-seok was a bald, pot-bellied middle-aged man. His face looks like a bulldog. I could feel stubbornness in my tightly closed lips.

“A few days ago, a large hospital in Sunwol was taken over by variants and mutants. Fortunately, the large hospital is closed and there are no casualties. Employees working to operate the hospital were able to successfully evacuate thanks to Ilwoo Group’s actions. We have not yet received detailed information about the variants and strains that have taken over the hospital.”

I instinctively frowned. After hearing Kim Gwang-seok’s words, I felt an instinctive sense of heterogeneity.

‘Ilwoo Group? Why is the Ilwoo group suddenly appearing?’

Is it Ilwoo Group’s story-telling? I paused the video for a moment and searched for the large Sunwol hospital that has become a hot topic.

‘Huh.’

Sunwol Large Hospital was a hospital belonging to the Ilwoo Group. To be more precise, it is a hospital run by the second daughter of Ilwoo Group Chairman.

I played the video of the Gwangju market again.

“The military and government wanted to blow up a large hospital with a missile, but I refused. This is because the aftermath of the missile could affect Gwangju. Are you sane to launch a missile at Gwangju in the first place? If the missile even misses, a catastrophe could occur.”

Is it really because of that?

“The large Sunwol hospital was scheduled to open normally in two months. It is a hospital for the citizens of Gwangju. But they blow up the hospital itself with a missile because it has been taken over by mutants and mutants? This cannot happen!”

Kim Gwang-seok delivered an impassioned speech. It would be too wasteful to blow it up with a missile. That seemed to be the reason.

“We asked the military for special forces to deal with mutants and mutants, but they were flatly rejected. The reason was that it was dangerous.”

Of course it’s dangerous. This is because personal weapons to deal with mutants have not yet been developed. Even if special forces are deployed, there is no confidence that the mutants can be dealt with reliably. Rather, there is a high probability of failure. It is certain and safer to blow it up with a missile.

“I couldn’t understand it. So, I searched for a separate method and came up with people with superpowers called awakeners.”

Kim Gwang-seok bowed towards the camera. He bent down to a perfect 90 degrees, exposed the top of his head, and spoke in a pleading tone.

“I ask for help from all psychics in Korea. Please help our Gwangju! Gwangju citizens need your help!”

Fuck.

I couldn’t help but curse.

The media is focusing on Gwangju. This was especially true because no special events had occurred in Korea recently.

‘What if I fall out of here? The spotlight will be sucked up by everyone else. Besides, I’ve given up on pretending to be just. The whole country is focused on Gwangju, so you have to participate for the sake of my approval rating.’

It sucks.

Should we stop pretending to be just and ignore it? Should I make another excuse? Any excuse will not work.

Check the internet reaction.

-Daejeon Thor, Emperor Ban Ho-seong. Decided to respond to the demands of the Gwangju mayor! “I can’t stay silent when you want my help.”

-Gyeonggi-do’s superpower, brown bear Dooho Doo, also decided to apply! “Superpower is the power to help the weak.”

-Numerous psychics decide to participate and begin to gather in Gwangju. But Korea’s greatest psychic, Seoul Zeus Seong Yu-jin, is still silent?!

Now I know, but silence is damned.

‘I can’t go because the atmosphere is like this.’

It was obvious that if I were to leave here, all the criticism would be focused on me. I have to go to Gwangju just for the sake of the image I have built so far.

“I’m a doctor. “Tell the mayor of Gwangju that I’m going.”

“Are you really going? As you know, Sunwol Hospital is related to Ilwoo Group. “Maybe it’s a trap.”

“The media is paying attention. I have to go to a trap. Sunwol Large Hospital has now become a stage. “A stage to determine who the greatest hero of Korea is.”

I forcefully pulled up the corners of my mouth.

‘You asked for help, so I will help you. Instead, I decide how to help.’

Na Chae-young saw my smile and shook her head.

“I’m just thinking about causing an accident. Who are you going to take?”

“I have to go alone. If you take Choi Hye-jin or Irina, the spotlight will be taken away. They are so pretty.”

“What about the SS?”

“I am organizing and operating a private army. Do you have something to promote? I’ll go there alone. It won’t take long.”

People’s perception of Seongak Elementary School was closer to the shelter I ran. The name is still Seongak Elementary School. Doesn’t it give off a shelter feel? If word of using a private army gets into the hands of the government, checks will come in.

‘Lee Yeon-hee is helping me well… Since it belongs to the government, it cannot be trusted 100%.’

I got in my car and went down to Gwangju. Since the government cleared the highway using the power of the military, they were able to arrive in Gwangju without any problems.

“President. “I confirmed that Seong Yu-jin came down to Gwangju.”

Jin Seong-hwa’s secretary Oh Ha-baek said.

Jinseonghwa, who was concentrating on her laptop, lifted her head and smiled. As the second daughter of the chairman of Ilwoo Group, she planned this incident to avenge her family.

“Everything goes as planned.”

“Yes. Seong Yu-jin is strangely concerned about image management. She also made sure to keep the comments unit organized. She will not fall by the wayside as long as the media pays attention to her.”

“Are you sure about the test subject’s combat power?”

“The combat power of 114 Catherine, the artificial mutant experiment introduced into Sunwol Large Hospital this time, is at a level that can destroy a city. No matter how strong Seong Yu-jin is, he cannot handle it.”

“We weren’t told that we were involved, right?”

“The evidence has already been completely processed, but… “I am under suspicion.”

“It’s okay to be suspected. All you need is no evidence. “What about your father?”

“The Chairman did not show any reaction.”

“I guess so. Because he is that kind of person. If you fail, you will be scolded… If successful, I may become vice president. Huhuhu.”

Being Vice Chairman of Ilwoo Group is the same as becoming its successor.

If you take care of Seong Yu-jin, who terrorized the headquarters and killed Jin Seong-man and Jin Chung-hyeon… In recognition of his contribution, he will become vice president.

“And we’ll be able to wipe out those pesky psychics in one fell swoop. If superpowers disappear, it will be easier for us to live in Korea. “Your father will praise you a lot.”

“Congratulations.”

“I’ll receive your congratulations later. Oh, secretary. It’s not just the test subjects that were prepared, right? “I believe in Secretary Oh’s abilities.”

“I hired a contract killer. Even if things go wrong, they will kill Seong Yu-jin.”

“As expected, Oh, secretary. “I know how to prepare for any emergency.”

A conspiracy was growing in a secret laboratory on Tsushima Island.

• • •

I stayed at a hotel prepared by Gwangju city. The operation begins at 10 am tomorrow. It was free time during that time.

‘It’s just free time to talk. There were reporters lined up outside. The moment I leave the dorm, I’ll be having a hell of a Q&A with reporters.’

So, I decided to stay in the hotel and sleep.

Next day. After filling our stomachs with meals provided by the hotel and arming ourselves, we boarded a bus prepared by Gwangju City. I was able to meet other awakened people on the bus. I looked around at the awakened people and sneered in my heart.

‘These idiots are the heroes of the Republic of Korea?’

It only looks like a bunch of shit.

They also looked at me. The most famous awakened person in Korea. Seoul Zeus. There was no way he didn’t know that I was called the Thunder God.

“Hey, it’s nice to see you like this. This is Ban Ho-seong. “You’ve heard my name, right?”

A man with a long robe hanging around his waist spoke to me. The muscular man was twice as big as me.

I nodded with a friendly smile.

“Of course I know. Aren’t you famous for Daejeon Thor? You say you have the same ability to control lightning as me, right? Thank you for your continued support.”

“Haha. “I am honored that the Thunder God recognizes me.”

Ban Ho-seong laughs heartily. However, both eyes burned like flames. I felt the spirit of victory.

I didn’t like it. The fact that he harbors a strong desire to win means that he saw me and decided that it was worth a try.

‘I want to break your heart and make you realize the difference in level.’

You have to endure it.

There were too many eyes watching. Reporters are gathered outside the bus.

“People praised Sung Yu-jin more highly than me. Like a man, I will admit it clearly. Seong Yu-jin is stronger now. But I keep growing. And it will never stop growing. “My goal is to become Korea’s greatest hero.”

Make unfamiliar sounds without thinking.

“Well, I will support you.”

“Haha. You seem relaxed. But is something like this possible?”

Ban Ho-seong spread his palms. She gathered the electric current on her palm and she spun it around.

“People say it’s magical… Seong Yu-jin, can you do it?”

I followed along as if to show off. It wasn’t difficult at all. Ban Ho-seong’s smile disappears immediately. While Ban Ho-seong concentrated for about 10 seconds, I opened my palms and controlled the thunderbolt at the same time.

“Wow, that’s amazing.”

“It’s no big deal.”

Thunder current, electromagnetic waves.

It quietly radiated electromagnetic waves. The image inside the bus is permanently stuck in my mind. Ban Ho-seong and other psychics didn’t even realize that I was emitting electromagnetic waves.

‘I know your level well. It was so boring that I wanted to die…’

I ignored Ban Ho-seong’s jealous gaze and sat down.

“Mr. Seong Yu-jin. “Can I talk to you for a moment?”
