Chapter 2411 – 2411. Eternal Eden
“… Dismissal. Before answering, may I suddenly ask Seong Yu-jin about her intention to put a leash on her?”
“Hmm? I think you would know without me having to say it…”
“I have a guess. But how can I completely understand His Excellency’s intentions? My guess may be wrong, and it will be helpful for future operations.”
“I see.”
Jung Woo-hyun stroked his chin and chose his words. After a while, he opened his mouth.
“All awakened people must be under the management of the state. Their abilities can be medicine if used well, but on the other hand, they can also be poison. Aren’t there people with mental abilities as a representative example? The government has to manage the awakened people… “It’s your opinion too.”
A being with great power causes chaos by itself. Knowing this, we must manage all awakened people. It was Lee Yeon-hee’s opinion, and that opinion has not changed even now. In fact, more than half of the criminals causing problems in Korea are awakened.
The reason why Lee Yeon-hee was able to become the 4th Deputy Director was due to several conditions, but the biggest reason was the existence of the Awakened. The 4th Deputy Director is a department created for the purpose of managing awakened people in the country. Working on zombies or mutants is just additional work.
“That’s right. “I think I’m doing the job well.”
“Of course. You are capable. You’re doing your job well. Thanks to you, the Awakened are being controlled better than in China, Japan, and the United States. What I especially like is the cool-headed way of eliminating awakened people who are out of control without hesitation.”
“…”
Jung Woo-hyun misunderstands Lee Yeon-hee. Lee Yeon-hee’s standard for killing awakened people is not controlled.
Control? Of course, it’s important. But more important than that is whether it helps Korea.
Even if it does not help Korea much, it is useful if it can be controlled. In the end, you can use it somehow.
I worry if it helps, but I can’t control it. Weigh risk and return and eliminate if risk is too high compared to return.
Seong Yu-jin was a high risk, high return. It was a kind of gamble. If it were a normal world before the disaster began, it would have been eliminated right away.
But this world is already ruined. The existing order is collapsing. If Korea was to survive, it had to gamble. And the gamble paid off by her standards.
“But it wasn’t perfect. Nowadays, Sung Yu-jin is very famous. Just touching it has become a difficult task. I think you knew about Seong Yu-jin even before she became famous… Why didn’t you control him?”
“It’s not that we didn’t control it, it was impossible to control it. When I found him, he already had great power. Even America’s Great Awakening special forces could not deal with him.”
“Oh, you mean the CIA? Those who are stealing Korea’s awakened people…”
“I may have given up control of him, but I haven’t given up management. Management is already successful. The fact that he remained in Korea despite his conversation with US President Michael is proof.”
Seong Yu-jin further awakened his healing abilities. Thanks to this, his value exploded. Maybe he is worth more than Korea.
“Okay. What a great person. It seems like there is some level of patriotism. That’s why he needs to be under our control even more. Before he changes his mind and leaves for another country.”
“… Seong Yu-jin settled in Gangseo-gu and developed his own power. He has achieved a lot in Korea, so he will never leave for another country.”
“Haha. That’s what makes me uneasy. A single citizen leads a private army. Do you think that makes sense? Among those who follow Seong Yu-jin, there are many awakened people and up to 3 players, right? Also, technologists and bionics. Aren’t technologists the talent we are desperately looking for? For the sake of Korea’s future, we cannot leave it in that place forever.”
3 players.
Yeonhee Lee maintained a poker face, but she felt cold sweat running down her back. Jung Woo-hyun knows about Yoo Seo-jeong and Kim Ji-hee. Yeonhee Lee has not yet posted a report about it. Her mind was spinning quickly. Maybe Seong Yu-jin knows about the raid on Tsushima’s secret research center.
“… Dismissal. “What kind of information did you exchange with Japan?”
“It’s about diplomacy. I can’t tell you. But… The fact that I had an informal meeting with the Prime Minister of Japan yesterday is probably okay. I am disappointed in you. So please answer this question well. “Is there a way to control Seong Yu-jin?”
There was one thing that came to mind.
Beauty world.
Seong Yu-jin looked for a particularly beautiful woman. However, as she is only a beauty, can she completely control him as she wants?
She wasn’t sure.
“… Seong Yu-jin’s control is impossible. It is best to keep her relationship as collaborator as it is now.”
“You disappoint me again. Rest for a while. “Your work will be handled by the first deputy director.”
Jung Woo-hyun put his hand in his pocket. He pressed the signal in his pocket.
Soon the office door opens, and a middle-aged man comes in. He was a stern-looking man with parted hair and rimless glasses. Wearing a suit, he confidently entered the office.
This was a man that Lee Yeon-hee knew. He couldn’t have known. Because he was a deputy director under the same National Intelligence Service.
“Dismissal. “Did you call me?”
“First Deputy Director Shin Young-soo. Things didn’t go well. It looks like 4th Deputy Director Lee Yeon-hee needs some rest for a while. I’d like you to do the 4th deputy’s job instead. Is it possible?”
“Oh, of course. Managing the awakened is a simpler task than dealing with North Korea.”
It was only then that Lee Yeon-hee realized what had happened.
Jung Woo-hyun and Shin Young-soo joined hands early on. It is not simply a relationship between the President and the Deputy Director of the National Intelligence Service. There is something more between the two.
Originally, Jung Woo-hyun and Shin Young-soo could not pay much attention to the domestic situation. If we did something wrong, a war with North Korea would break out. Then, with the truce with North Korea, we had more freedom.
Why do you want Sung Yu-jin? This can be explained by therapeutic ability alone. In addition, Seong Yu-jin has technicians and bionics. You must be coveting the things that Seong Yu-jin has.
‘All good. I can understand up to this point. But informal talks with Japan? There’s no way he was simply provided with information. There must have been some kind of deal.’
There was something that Lee Yeon-hee could never tolerate. It was Japan and China. For her, Japan and China have been enemies for a thousand years.
‘No. I can’t make a hasty judgment yet. Because I don’t know the content of the informal meeting.’
Lee Yeon-hee calmed her mind.
Meanwhile, the conversation between Jung Woo-hyun and Shin Young-soo was flowing smoothly.
“Deputy Director Shin Young-soo. “Can you control Seong Yu-jin?”
“You can control it. We have already secured Seong Yu-jin’s parents and her younger sister. It was easy because Deputy Director Lee Yeon-hee had an agent attached. She said she would serve delicious food and she immediately followed suit. Haha.”
“Ohh. It’s family. “Not bad.”
Jung Woo-hyun smiles in admiration and satisfaction. Yeonhee Lee spoke in a calm tone.
“Dismissal. Since the disaster struck Seong Yu-jin, she has never visited her family. Seong Yu-jin cannot be controlled by her family.”
Shin Young-soo glanced at her. The eyebrows were slightly frowned.
“Don’t worry, Your Excellency. Even if family is meaningless, there are many ways to control Seong Yu-jin. First, food. Until now, Seong Yu-jin had obtained food through her dealings with Deputy Director Lee Yeon-hee. That means they depend on us for food. Even if you have stockpiled food, it probably won’t be a lot. We can use food to shake Seong Yu-jin and her forces.”
“Good idea. The food issue is a headache for me too… What can that kid do? This is also Deputy Director Shin Young-soo. Did I tell you that I trust you the most?”
“Haha. “I just do what I have to do.”
Beat the drum and play the janggu. Their atmosphere was friendly.
Lee Yeon-hee was about to point out Shin Young-soo’s opinion, but quit. She was already a sack of barley. No matter what you say, they will only see opposition for the sake of opposition.
“Deputy Director Lee Yeon-hee.”
“Yes. “Your Excellency.”
“You get some rest. Have you been so busy that you haven’t been able to use your vacation properly? Take this opportunity to rest well and come back. “I will tell your family.”
Imposition of probation under the pretext of rest.
Lee Yeon-hee was not stupid enough to not know this. The opponent is the president who declared martial law. That power is stronger than usual. Even Lee Yeon-hee couldn’t fight back. She bowed her head obediently.
“… Yes. Dismissal. “I’ll just leave now.”
Lee Yeon-hee thought as she left the Blue House. It is dangerous for her to contact Seong Yu-jin. If you are Shin Young-soo, not only your every move but also your call records will be monitored.
Her prediction was correct. As soon as she left the Blue House, she felt someone was there.
‘… It won’t be easy.’

“So. What do you want me to do with this?”
Na Chaeyoung said in a cold voice. I didn’t even have my period today, but I felt bad.
I looked at Na Chae-young a little and pointed to her supercar. This is a supercar I picked up nearby. Lamborghini Roadster. I don’t like the color because it’s yellow, but I can’t help it because it’s not an environment where you can choose the color you want.
The bumper is dented, but it can be fixed.
“Fix it and remodel it. I wish I could fly in the sky. And the color yellow is copper… In white.”
“… Do you know what time it is? “I don’t have time to modify a supercar.”
“What is it. “Once the road is improved, there is a need to run.”
“It’s faster to take a helicopter. Either that or take a drone. There’s also a hoverboard.”
“Oh, just do it.”
“…”
A snowball fight between her and I began. I couldn’t back down from this either. Soon, I need to have my own car.
I was the one who won the snowball fight. Na Chaeyoung sighed.
“Ha. Okay. I’ll remodel it whenever I have time. However… What is he again?”
Na Chae-young pointed to Choi Hye-jin, who was sitting in the driver’s seat of her supercar. Choi Hye-jin was stepping on her accelerator and turning her steering wheel randomly. The ignition was not turned on.
“Wow, fuck. The car sucks! Hey, give me this car!”
“That’s my car. “If you want a car, you get it.”
“Where did you get it?”
“I found it in a residential area. That was the only thing that was okay.”
“Fuck. I end up getting one too!”
Choi Hye-jin got out of the car, and she ran to the Holy SS building. It looks like she is heading out with the SS.
Na Chae-young shook her head and entered her main building.
I looked at the supercar and imagined how I would modify it.
‘First, there must be a booster. It would be better if they also added missiles. But I don’t think it would be cool to attach missiles to it? Should I get another car?’
Weight also had to be taken into account. If it’s too heavy, you can’t put it in your inventory. Because right now I can’t even drive a car.
‘It’s a trick, but if you dope with drugs, you can lift a car.’
Grrrr.
The smartphone vibrated. I received a call from an unknown number.
‘It’s been a while since I received a call from an unknown number.’
I was curious, so I received it.
“Hello.”
-Hi oppa. It’s me.
A young woman’s voice. But it wasn’t a very good voice. I felt an instinctive feeling of rejection.
“Voice phishing still exists in these times. How much is there to do? Stop it, you idiot.”
-What? Brother! It’s me, castle
Drop.
I hung up.
Burrrr.
Call persistently. I don’t know how to give up on the topic of voice phishing. I completely blocked reception.
Then I got a call from another number. I was annoyed so I took it. Let’s hear what they’re talking about.
– Hmm. Eugene? It’s my father. You seem to be doing well these days. The reason I contacted you like this…
This time it was a male voice.
“Fuck Nimmi. My mom and dad run a hair salon in Gangwon-do. “It’s not voice phishing like this.”
-Go, Gangwon-do?
“Hang up, you bastard.”
Drop.
This time too, I hung up first.
Even when the world collapsed, voice phishing still existed. They were terrible guys.
