Chapter 2408 – 2408. Eternal Eden

Yoo Seo-jeong, who had made up her mind, went to find Seong Yu-jin the next morning. I headed to the control room on the 4th floor of the main building, but Seong Yu-jin was not there.

Eventually, she headed to the third floor lab. Yu Seo-jeong’s steps were cautious. Even in Tsushima’s secret lab, you cannot enter someone else’s lab without permission. Even if you are confident right now, you get nervous when someone enters your lab.

‘First, knock…’

But before I could knock, the door opened.

“Come in.”

When we entered the lab, Na Chaeyoung turned her chair back. She was a beautiful woman with neatly trimmed long black hair and wearing a pure white gown.

“What’s going on?”

“I came to see Eugene. Well, it’s not in the control room. “Isn’t Mr. Eugene here?”

“I went to restore the Holy Guard.”

“… “Recovery?”

“There is such a thing. Anyway, we won’t be able to meet right now. Maybe we can meet in the evening? “Seeing as you’re trying to meet Eugene, it looks like you’ve decided to accept her offer.”

“… If. “Did you hear yesterday’s conversation?”

“No. It’s obvious what he’s going to propose. I have a lot of questions for you regarding work. But it might be too early for that. I’ll put Choi Hye-jin and Irina together, so please take a look around Seongak Elementary School. “This is where I’ll be staying from now on, so wouldn’t I need to know what system it operates on?”

That was correct. She was also curious about Seongak Elementary School.

“Is that okay? I would still be an outsider.”

“You named Choi Hye-jin and Irina. Even though they seem a bit fierce, they do it when they have to. “You’d better not even think about running away.”

“Awakened people, right? Yes. “I know.”

“… You might not understand this place when you see it. You may feel rejected. Well, you’ll adapt eventually. Just know one thing. “The world now is different from before.”

A different world from before.

Even though he was trapped in a secret laboratory, he knew that fact painfully.

“Thank you for the advice. However… “What kind of person is Seong Yu-jin?”

“Why? “You saw it yourself.”

“Even if I did see it, we only had a brief conversation… As his colleague, I would like to hear your opinion.”

Na Chaeyoung thought for a moment and then spoke.

“Seong Yu-jin is the king. Either in a good sense or in a bad sense.”

• • •

Choi Hye-jin and Irina came to Yoo Seo-jeong. Yoo Seo-jeong felt somehow glad to see their faces after taking off her combat helmet. That may be because she is around the same age as her daughter, Kim Ji-hee.

“If possible, I wear my name badge when I leave the main building. It’s okay since we’re already somewhat famous, but you’re new. “If you don’t have a name tag, you could get caught up in something useless.”

“I understand.”

In her suicide note, Jeong-eun accepted the golden nameplate that Choi Hye-jin held out to her and hung it around her neck. It was a little uncomfortable for her to have it hanging on her chest, but she would soon get used to it.

“Uh, where should we start?”

Irina asked. She has light blonde hair and blue eyes. Her large breasts reached an H cup. Compared to her gorgeous appearance, her voice was small and lacked confidence.

“Let’s start with the main building. You know the 5th floor, right? “You must have slept in the dormitory on the 5th floor.”

“No. Her daughter was in a hospital room on the first floor… “I spent yesterday in the hospital room.”

“Uh, really? Then let’s go to the 5th floor.”

The entire 5th floor of the main building had been converted into accommodation. Because it was the main building of the school, the 5th floor was spacious. This means that there are quite a few empty rooms.

“Since you are an executive, you will be staying with us on the fifth floor. You can just grab the one you like among the empty rooms. The last room is Irina’s room. I’m a strange bitch who likes corners. Doesn’t it look like a cockroach?”

“No matter what I say… “Please say it’s a cat, not a cockroach.”

“Look at me. “You’re such a strange bitch to even talk about.”

“The strange one is Hyejin.”

“How?”

Hyejin Choi went behind Irina. She was like an animal and Irina couldn’t even react to her fast speed. Choi Hye-jin’s hands tightly grasped Irina’s breasts.

“Aaaaah!”

“If you confront this sister, you will be punished. Take it sweetly.”

“Ahhhhh!”

Yoo Seo-jeong smiled slightly when she saw them. If Kim Ji-hee recovers and becomes fine, wouldn’t it be possible to hang out with them? Then it would be really nice to see.

After a lot of commotion, Yu Seo-jeong was able to enter her room. It felt like a luxury studio. There were two rooms with a bathroom and kitchen. I could also see Park through the window. Because the location was open, the scenery was quite nice.

“… It’s better than my room in the lab. “It felt like a prison.”

“Seong Yujin. His room is better than this one. “I heard she has her own nice room.”

Hyejin Choi grumbled briefly and continued her guidance.

The 4th floor is the control room. We were able to check all CCTV installed within Seongak Elementary School. You could also give commands to the combat AI.

The third floor is a laboratory. The electrical room and lounge were also on the third floor.

The second floor contained an armory, and the first floor contained a workroom and medical room. Kim Ji-hee’s hospital room is also on the first floor.

Yu Seo-jeong looked at the disintegrator on the first floor. Basic skill disassembly of technologist and bionics.

When you put things into this decomposer, they come out as waste and resources. Resources are essential for technologists and bionics. Because you can use resources to make metals, parts, or drugs.

“That… “Are you a robot?”

Robots were working. Items were placed on container belts, or waste and resources from the decomposer were sorted and organized.

“Uh. That’s right. “It was recently created, but I heard it can only do simple tasks.”

Hyejin Choi explained with a sour expression. She wasn’t really interested in robots.

“That’s amazing.”

“Isn’t Ilwoo Group doing this as well?”

“Hmm. It’s not enough to use robots for work. “If I had been able to use a robot, I would have been able to conduct the experiment more comfortably.”

Afterward, I went out of the main building. Around the main building, armed soldiers stood guard with guns in hand. It’s not just the main building. Armed soldiers were seen throughout Seongak Elementary School. As soon as they saw them, they saluted them.

“Loyalty!”

“Uh, okay.”

You mess with me. In her later years, Choi Hye-jin passed by her soldiers, nodding her head like a sergeant.

“… “Are you in the military?”

“What about the military? It’s the security team. Something like a guard.”

Yu Seo-jeong didn’t think much of it until then. But the more she looked around Seongak Elementary School, the more astonished she became.

Seongak Elementary School was a class society that did not fit with modern times.

There were a total of 5 ranks.

Level 1 are executives such as Na Chae-young, Choi Hye-jin, and Irina.

Level 2 are recognized professionals. And the women of Seong Yu-jin. SS.

Level 3 is professionals and security team.

Level 4 is general worker management.

Level 5 is general workers.

Treatment received varied depending on rank. The salary received was also different.

‘What’s surprising is that people here accepted the class society without complaint.’

No, there will be complaints. But in this small society, dissatisfaction is not tolerated. Anyone who is dissatisfied is expelled from here. And most of those who are exiled die. That is probably the only reason why the true nature of Seongak Elementary School is not known.

‘This place is completely controlled. This is a small kingdom inside Seoul.’

Why did Na Chae-young compare Sung Yu-jin to a king? Yu Seo-jeong understood right away. As the saying goes, Seong Yu-jin was the king of this small kingdom.

‘But in the end, if this is all… Seongak Elementary School will collapse.’

Created a small kingdom in Seoul? Amazing. But that’s it. Eventually, its limitations will be revealed. Because Korea will not allow a kingdom.

“Oh right. You didn’t go there, did you? Shall we go?”

“Hyejin unni. Well, this person is an outsider. “You shouldn’t take them carelessly.”

“I’m still an outsider. He will be living with us soon. “I’m going to find out anyway, so it doesn’t matter if I know now.”

Choi Hye-jin led her to a place where her entry and exit were strictly controlled. These soldiers are slightly different from the security team. They had ᚼ patterns on their collars and sleeves. There were more CCTVs than other places, and combat drones regularly scouted the area.

At first, I thought it was an emblem representing special forces. But after she entered the annex, she knew that wasn’t the case.

Hundreds of people were kneeling in front of the altar.

The altar was decorated with a full-length portrait of Seong Yu-jin and a badge with the ᚼ pattern.

“Our Lord, His Holiness Seong Eugene, came down in human form to save us. Do you believe in His Holiness?”

“I believe!”

“Do you only believe in the Holy Spirit?!”

“I only believe in the Holy Spirit!!”

Hundreds of people shout in unison.

Madness and fanaticism.

They were filling this space.

The fanatics rejoiced while calling out the name of Seong Yu-jin, and sought salvation by calling out the name of Seong Yu-jin.

It was then. A person came up to the altar. He was a middle-aged man with a protruding stomach.

“Hello, believers of Seongjingyo. My name is Choi Ji-seok, the mayor of Gangseo-gu. This time, he received the grace of the saint and entered Seongjin Church and became a priest. There may be some among you who doubt my religious beliefs. He became a priest as soon as he entered Seongjin Church. I climbed on this altar to prove my faith! Saint! Bring the saints!”

The priest waiting by the altar brought a knife. It was a small white knife. A sword blessed by Seong Yu-jin himself, a holy sword.

“Look at everyone! Please become a pastor and a witness of faith!!!”

Choi Ji-seok stretched out his left arm forward. And he slashed his left arm without mercy with the saint he was holding in his right hand.

Sigh! Plop, plop!

Blood drips on the altar. Choi Ji-seok continued cutting his arm, then pressed the button on the end of his sword hilt. Fazizik. Electricity sparkles and the blade shines silver. He cut off his left arm with a sharper blade.

“Saint! I believe it! This is my faith!”

“Ooooo!! “I believe it!”

Yu Seo-jeong felt suffocated by people’s madness and had an ominous imagination. Seong Yu-jin put bomb vests on them and ordered them to die. Blinded by fanaticism, they will sacrifice their lives like stubble.

She inadvertently looked at Choi Hye-jin and Irina. Choi Hye-jin cheered by blowing her whistle, while Irina played with her smartphone as if she was not interested. She was playing a game. Both were not normal.

‘This place is crazy…’

Yu Seo-jeong withdrew all of her evaluations of Seong Yu-jin that she had just made.

King of a small kingdom?

No. Seong Yu-jin was cultivating religion. She does not reign as a king, but is upheld as a god.

Yoo Seo-jeong broke into a cold sweat. Dangerous. But there was nothing she could do about it. Also, she didn’t deserve it.

‘If he successfully treats my daughter… If my daughter can recover and smile…’

He felt an intense temptation towards her.

That night, Yoo Seo-jeong knelt in front of Seong Yu-jin.
