Chapter 2415 – 2415. Eternal Eden

The teacher’s room temporarily given to Kim Ji-hee had become a room that had the feel of a cult. There were several religious books, such as the Bible, on her desk. It seems like she is studying as a religious leader. I don’t know if that’s the right direction.

The clothes Jihee Kim was wearing were also surprising. She is wearing a white, fluffy dress. It is similar to a priest’s uniform, but more ornate. Anyway, it felt religious.

“Welcome, Your Holiness.”

From the way she spoke, it seemed like she was already a religious person.

“You decorated the outbuilding quite a bit in one day. “She would have been hard to find.”

“Yes. I received it from people living at Seongak Elementary School. “He gave it to me willingly.”

On the surface, there was religious freedom. Christianity, Catholicism, Buddhism, and shamanism were quite widespread. It appears that he received religious items from them. No, it would be more correct to say that it was stolen. Because you can’t refuse if you put a member of the SS at the forefront.

‘I never thought they would use their power to conscript us in just one day. In a way, she is an amazing woman.’

I think we should think differently about giving Kim Ji-hee the title of Holy SS.

‘First, it should be attached for the purpose of escorting and monitoring Kim Ji-hee. You could create another military unit and attach it to Kim Ji-hee. Of course, it’s filled with fanatics who will jump into the fire pit at my single command.’

Anyway, that’s not what’s important right now.

“We need to move Seongjingyo Bridge. There are quite a few of them, so you should be able to slowly raise your head towards Yangji.”

Korea is a country with religious freedom.

People have the perception that unless it is a major religion, it is a cult, but there are definitely religions that are not cults.

“… As soon as I become the leader, Seongjingyo is going out to the sun. “Is this some kind of test given to me?”

“Things have changed. Yesterday afternoon, the first deputy director of the Ministry of National Intelligence came and said hello.”

“Ah. I heard. “His Holiness personally killed the devil, Satan, who called her sister.”

Jihee Kim’s expression didn’t change much. The woman I met yesterday was better at hiding her emotions than Deputy Director Shin Young-soo.

“The important thing is not that, but that the president is dismantling Seongak Elementary School and targeting me and my girls.”

“You don’t even know the topic. Shall we declare a holy war?”

“Are you serious?”

“About half. Of course, His Holiness’ opinion is the most important.”

Kim Ji-hee’s eyes sparkled. She felt like a child with a new toy in her hands. I know that feeling well. Now that I have gained strength, I feel like I want to use it somehow.

“Don’t do anything useless. What you need to do is work with Son Tae-hyung to encourage believers to protest. “They removed all traces of religion and disguised themselves as citizen protesters.”

“Isn’t martial law in Korea now? Is it okay to protest?”

“Believers of Seongjingyo exist in all social classes. It was a bit difficult on the military side… Some politicians have been taken in. The same goes for journalists. Even though martial law has been declared, this is Korea. Are they really going to push it away with a tank? Peaceful protesters who didn’t even carry weapons?”

“That can’t be possible. However… “What is the theme of the protest?”

“Anything that can attack the current government and President Jung Woo-hyun is fine. But the most representative thing is… Okay. This would be good. Gun control. Mutants and mutants are roaming around the city, but are we regulating guns? This is crazy. The people actually want guns. Because you need a means to protect yourself.”

“… Sounds fun. Yes. “I will do as Your Holiness wishes.”

I do not believe that the protesters can remove Chung Woo-hyun from his position as president. But he can draw the attention of protesters. If attention is attracted, it will become public opinion and that will become the spark.

‘Incitement and fabrication… I will use any means possible to boost your approval rating.’

And the moment approval ratings drop and a suitable cause is created…

‘It’s a coup.’

I have no intention of carrying the gun myself.

There are several guys carrying guns. There are more than three high-ranking politicians who have committed themselves to Seongjingyo. Just leave it to one of them.

‘I will become a secret power!’

And at the right time, he was crowned emperor of Korea!

‘It’s a perfect scenario.’

To do that, you have to move diligently.

– Seong Yu-jin, I’m sorry. Recently, due to the poor food situation, I have been unable to apply to Seongak Elementary School. The same goes for the food trade. According to our calculations, Seongak Elementary School can survive for three months without food support. Please understand that this is also to support citizens who are in difficult situations.

First Deputy Director Shin Young-soo’s voice rang through the smartphone speaker.

“Oh, I see. I understand.”

Drop.

I hung up the phone.

I couldn’t give in to things like food. It was clear that the public would be damned if they protested again. And a few hours later, an article will appear in which Seong Yu-jin talks about food for the people despite the difficult times.

I went straight to Na Chae-young.

“I’m a doctor. How much food do you have stored up? “How many months can you last?”

“… It looks like the National Intelligence Service has started messing with food. “The food we have stored up is limited to one month.”

“… 1 month? “I stock up on food whenever I can, but I can only last a month?”

“More than 5,000 people are gathered here at Seongak Elementary School. “You accepted many people to grow Seongjingyo.”

“… In order to expand the influence of Seongjingyo, there must be a lot of believers. They also have to be trained separately. “People have no choice but to gather here.”

Okay. Seongak Elementary School’s capacity is already beyond its limit. Most people at Seongak Elementary School live in chicken coop-like houses in cramped spaces. Nevertheless, the reason the dissatisfaction did not come out was because I suppressed my dissatisfaction with force. And they guarantee a minimum amount of food.

“The good news is that I have a lot of money. This is thanks to the donations made by believers. The problem is that even if you have a lot of money, you have nowhere to spend it.”

This is a time when zombies and mutants roam the streets. Of course, supermarkets and convenience stores went bankrupt. Parcel? Of course not. Food is almost monopolized by the government.

Even if you have money, you cannot get food. Even if you can get it, it’s doubtful whether you’ll be able to buy as much as you want. I heard that the price of one potato is at least 20,000 won.

“… What about smart farms or hydroponics? “I prepared it in advance.”

“You put that off. What was urgent so far was not food, but defense and safety. We are still improving the combat AI and weapons. Even if we focus on hydroponics or smart farms from now on, we will not be able to obtain enough food to satisfy Seongak Elementary School.”

I scratched my head. The main reason why Seongak Elementary School is maintained is food. If food is not supplied, rebellion will 100% occur. Even if that weren’t the case, there would still be people trying to run away from Seongak Elementary School.

“I have to find food in another way.”

“It won’t be easy. Because the National Intelligence Service will interfere somehow.”

“Otherwise, we’ll have to settle the matter within the next month.”

Late at night.

I secretly left Seongak Elementary School and headed to a rich neighborhood.

Perhaps because it is a neighborhood where rich people live, it was quiet with no zombies or mutants. I walked into the mansion with the lights on and rang the doorbell.

Ding dong. Crash.

The front door opened as if it had been waiting. I confidently entered the mansion.

When I entered, the middle-aged man sitting on the living room sofa got up in shock.

“Who are you?! Honey! Who is this person?!”

His wife knelt down in front of me without even looking at her husband.

“Ah! Are you here, saint! Please give blessings and mercy to our family!!”

“Okay. I came. If you have cola, bring it.”

“S-sorry. There is no cola in our house, but there is coffee…”

“I understand. Coke must have been difficult to find. “Bring some water.”

The middle-aged woman got up and ran to the kitchen.

The middle-aged man sitting on the sofa suddenly grabbed his pistol and pointed it at me. I looked at him calmly and asked.

“Are you Jin Su-hak, the Chief of Staff of the Army?”

“… That look. It occurred to me. Thunder God, Seong Yu-jin. Why did you come to my house? No, how did you get here? There must be guard soldiers near the house.”

“I’m a master at moving quietly. I also received help from your wife.”

I also received information from Jin Su-hak’s wife that Jin Su-hak, the Chief of Staff of the Wook Army, was coming home today.

“Put down the gun and let’s talk first. As you can see, I don’t have a weapon either.”

“… “Do you not know that you are an awakened person?”

“So, I want you to know my sincerity even more. “If they had tried to kill ordinary people, they would have already done so.”

“…”

In the end, Jin Su-hak lowered his pistol. The eyes looking at me were full of caution.

His wife, who had gone to the kitchen, appeared. Holding a cup of clean water in one hand and an urn in the other.

She politely handed me the water and laid down on her floor.

I took a gulp of water. It was pretty cool.

“Please, please save my son! Holy! Please!”

That damn castle.

I was about to let out a laugh and then quit. Call it whatever you like.

“Seong Yujin! “What have you done to my wife?!”

“Why. Do you think it was mind control?”

“Otherwise, my wife wouldn’t be like that! What is the purpose?!”

“Don’t shout. For now…”

Thunder current, electromagnetic waves.

There were no listening devices or small cameras.

“It’s okay. Let’s get straight to the point. I will save your son, who died 20 years ago. There is only one condition. Come under me. And I’ll take a finger for trust. “If you refuse, I will kill you to keep the secret.”

“Are you crazy?”

He said it as if he was so angry that it seemed absurd. His wife was scared and grabbed Jin Su-hak’s leg. She was so desperate that she shed tears.

“You!! This is your chance to save Minwoo! Quickly bow down to the saint! Get down! Minwoo! “I have to meet Minwoo!!”

“Honey. Just calm down first! Saving people! That’s impossible!”

“Saw! I saw it! “I saw with my own eyes the Holy Spirit bringing a dead baby back to life!!”

“This woman is really… Sung Yujin! “What on earth have you done to my wife?!”

“Tsk. The story doesn’t progress at all. In this case, it would be better to show it in person.”

I opened the urn, grabbed the relics from inside, and used Recovery.

Although it was a bit difficult, recovery was triggered properly. What was just a sari begins to regenerate as if time were turning back. The bones and flesh regenerate and take on the appearance of a young boy of about 6 years old.

“Ahhh! Minwoo! Minwoo!!”

Jin Su-suk’s wife was so moved that she shed tears. Jin Shuk stared blankly at the boy’s body in my hands with her mouth open.

“… Really. “Did you really save my son, Minwoo?”

“Not yet alive. There is a heart, but it is not beating. If you want to save your son, accept my conditions.”

“This. Is this possible? Bringing a dead person back to life… !”

“The world is already a mess. The zombie virus spread and turned into monsters called mutants. A player appears and claims that this world was originally a game, and the Awakened uses incomprehensible supernatural powers. “Isn’t it really strange to have the ability to bring back dead people?”

“You! Tell me to do it quickly! Hurry!! I miss Minwoo! Poor Minwoo! Quickly take refuge in the saint!!”

His wife urges him, as if he is angry.

“…”

Jin Su-hak looked blankly at the son in my hands. His eyes shook mercilessly.

Boom.

Jin Su-hak’s knees fell to the floor.

“You are… “Who are you?”

“He is the god of life.”

“… I know that everything has a price. “What price do I have to pay?”

“Coup d’etat. Woohyun Jung was possessed by Satan the devil. He will ruin Korea. So he should be taken down before then.”

Jin Su-hak’s eyes trembled. He thought for a while and finally said.

“I will take refuge in you. Please save my son.”

I used recovery. His child’s heart started beating again.

“Ugh…”

The child whined and opened his eyes. The child was embarrassed when he saw me. I handed the child over to the mother.

The mother hugged her son tightly, shedding tears.

“Minwoo! Minwoo!!”

“Evil! Oh, it hurts! Uh, what about mom? “Mom!”

The child did not recognize his old mother. I used recovery by placing my hand on the mother’s head. The mother becomes younger. The mother’s beauty was ordinary.

“Mom!!”

Only then did the child recognize his mother.

Jin Su-hak, who witnessed this scene, had tears in his eyes with a tearful expression.

“You have a lot of work to do, so I will give you your youth later. “Just hide the child’s existence.”

“Yes. Dismissal. But… I cannot carry out a coup alone. We need like-minded people.”

“We plan to recruit many people. I’d like you to make a list. What we can give them in return for inclusion is youth. Is it not enough?”

Jin Shuo looked at her wife and her child, who were crying while hugging each other. She is a younger wife. She is a reborn child. He spoke, having difficulty swallowing his rising emotions.

“It will be enough. For them, youth will soon become their second life.”
