Chapter 2417 – 2417. Eternal Eden

We confirmed Jeong Woo-hyun’s corruption data.

All the corruption from the time he became a politician until now was written down.

At the same time as receiving bribes, Jung Woo-hyun also distributed bribes here and there. His purpose was one. Authority. He moved only to seize power. He is like the embodiment of power. Furthermore, he seems to have been accumulating his fortune by taking bribes from companies recently.

Above all, what was decisive for him was the evidence that human experiments had been conducted. Well, I wonder if there is a country in this day and age that does not conduct human experiments… Wasn’t it a mistake from the moment I was caught?

“Lee Yeon-hee. What exactly can you do with your abilities?”

“It’s a skill that’s easy to apply, so you can do a lot of things. “You can start by hiding yourself using spatial refraction and create small-sized spatial passages.”

“Space passage? Warp gate?”

What. This amazing ability. If she has these abilities, wouldn’t Lee Yeon-hee be able to rule the Republic of Korea?

“Yes. However, it is not big enough for people to pass by. There are quite a few distance restrictions. By manipulating space, you can see and hear distant things.”

“Excellent capabilities for surveillance and eavesdropping. No, wait. With that ability…”

“Yes. I know the true value of Eugene’s abilities. “I also know everything about how Seongjingyo gained its power.”

“… “You probably didn’t report those to the government, right?”

“It can’t be. Rather, I hid it as much as possible. Even if it is known now, it will only cause more harm than good. Please know that I was behind the fact that Seongjingyo was able to grow without difficulty until now.”

“Why? From your perspective, shouldn’t we be most wary of pseudo-religions?”

“Seongjingyo is a religion that originated in Korea. “The more difficult it is, the more people tend to lean on religion, and I decided that it would be better to lean on Seongjingyo rather than a foreign religion.”

“… Are the smartphones domestically produced?”

“Yes. “This is the latest model released a year ago.”

“Even home appliances at home?”

“It’s all domestically produced. “We do not use anything other than domestic products.”

“The suit you are wearing right now is a suit.”

“That’s the thing that bothers me the most, but I can’t help it. Because I have to wear a suit to work. However, this suit is custom-made and domestically made in Korea.”

“I will only eat domestically produced food.”

“Shintobuli. “Korean things fit the Korean body best.”

“… Maybe even cola?”

“Yes. “I only drink cola for three days.”

It’s not normal.

I felt the need to be more careful with her. This is because I could not understand her way of thinking that she only drinks domestically produced cola.

“What Eugene is curious about is probably the limit of my abilities.”

“Are you going to tell me?”

“After using my abilities, I feel very tired. Spatial refraction can be maintained for about an hour… After moving through space or creating a space passage, you become so tired that you cannot use your abilities for a while. “It is a difficult skill to use in practice.”

In terms of gaming, it feels like it consumes a lot of MP.

But things will change over time. Because abilities grow the more you use them. Unlike before, I was also able to use my abilities more.

“Thank you. Thanks to this, I can have an advantage in the public opinion war.”

“It’s no big deal. “I’m just sorry because this is all I can do right now.”

Jung Woo-hyun sat in his chair and looked at his smartphone. Protesters demonstrating in front of the Blue House appeared on real-time news broadcast. About 2,000 people. They were shouting as one. Armed police stood around the protesters.

“Jung Woo-hyun must resign!”

“Resign!”

“What’s the point of gun control when there are monsters running around! “Do you mean that we will all die by monsters?”

“What are you talking about! What are you talking about?”

“Explain the human experiments conducted in collaboration with companies and the military!”

“Explain! Explain!”

These protesters were crazy. They protest in three shifts, shouting and protesting day and night. Even the police officers who were watching took off their cranes.

Internet public opinion was favorable to the protesters. This is because the corruption that Jung Woo-hyun committed in the past has come to light. The most serious thing is that human experiments were conducted. I don’t know what happened, but the evidence photos were spreading.

Jung Woo-hyun’s approval rating continued to fall into the abyss.

Jung Woo-hyun’s mind was complicated. The media that released the corrupt information was immediately hit. This would have been impossible in normal Korea, but now martial law has fallen. A certain degree of use of force is permitted.

‘The problem is that those journalists don’t listen to me.’

The first deputy director of the National Intelligence Service even secretly carried out the torture. However, the journalists did not budge. If you die, you’re dead, and you don’t open your mouth.

‘It turned out that these guys were all related to Seongjingyo. Some kind of fanatics.’

As soon as I got to know him, I stopped torturing him. Dealing with real fanatics was a loss in itself. It is faster and more efficient to physically close the press office during that time or hire a hacker to manipulate internet articles.

‘The problem is… I was caught taking a journalist with me.’

The media has turned into an enemy. Journalists complained that it was oppression of the press.

Comment Action Unit? Of course, I’m working. But the other side also has a comment operation unit. Also, the comment operation unit that believes in Seong Yu-jin.

Public opinion was not good. I was completely pushed out. To criticize Sung Yu-jin, the public recognizes Sung Yu-jin as a superhero. Even if she hastily accused her of fabrication and incitement without evidence, it was obvious that she would only receive backlash. Irrefutable evidence to turn the situation around. That was needed.

‘How on earth did you find out about the corruption I committed? Those are things that even the Chief Secretary doesn’t know about…’

It was a time when his worries deepened. A male voice was heard along with the knocking sound.

“Mr. President. This is 1st Deputy Director Shin Young-soo. Can I come in?”

“Please come in.”

Shin Young-soo came in. Looking at that peaceful face, I felt a little jealous.

“… You. Are you doing your job properly? Why is Seong Yu-jin still holding on?”

“In the next week, Seongak Elementary School will run out of food. After a week, an incident will occur inside Seongak Elementary School. “If we catch the person who escaped from Seongak Elementary School and publicize what happened inside, public opinion will turn around.”

“Wouldn’t it be better to agitate now? “Isn’t it true that all kinds of dirty things are still happening inside Seongak Elementary School?”

“Evidence is being carefully managed. People won’t believe it. After a week, Seongak Elementary School will not be able to care about public opinion.”

“How about designating Seongjingyo as a cult?”

“Dismissal. Have you forgotten why Seongjingyo regards Seong Yujin as a god?”

“… Recovery. “I got impatient for a moment and thought short.”

I wouldn’t know if it were an ordinary pseudo-religion. There was a strong possibility that there would be an increase in the number of people joining Seongjingyo, aiming for Seong Yu-jin’s ability to recover.

“But does this mean we should just suffer like this?”

“They are all just a struggle. Human testing? After the incident is over, it is enough to fabricate that it was all instigation. “Isn’t martial law in place?”

“Still, I feel very uneasy. “Is there no way to completely destroy Seongak Elementary School?”

Shin Young-soo grinned. He took out his smartphone from his pocket.

“There is one thing. Please look at this.”

“This…”

“This is a video of Seong Yu-jin killing her biological sister, Seong A-jin, by kicking the head.”

“I saw it and heard it. But I never thought they even prepared a video. “You have a dark side.”

“Haha. “I am Shin Young-soo, Deputy Director.”

“But I don’t like the fact that you didn’t report it to me.”

“… Sorry about that. Because I didn’t want to write a video like this…”

Shin Young-soo made an excuse while sweating profusely. Jung Woo-hyun’s eyes became sharp, but he soon relaxed his expression and spoke.

“Spread that video. “I think now is the right time.”

A Korean hero kicked his sister to death. A video this powerful would bury all the articles on human experiments.

“Yes. Dismissal. I will do as you command. But what will you do after capturing Seong Yu-jin?”

“Seong Yu-jin has already rejected my offer. He’s just a criminal. “He should be locked up in a special facility and made to only use his abilities.”

“Haha. It’s a wise choice.”

Jung Woo-hyun shook off his worries and took out a bottle of medicine from his pocket. He took two pieces of Zenode and put them in his mouth. Originally, the optimal dosage was 1 pill per day…

‘You can’t eat just one thing this good a day.’

After eating two, my body is full of energy. Fatigue disappears, and the mind becomes clearer. I felt younger than I was in my 20s.

Erectile dysfunction as a side effect?

That can be solved if only Seong Yu-jin gets his hands on it. Because Seong Yu-jin’s ability is recovery. Is it capable of treating incurable diseases or is it not capable of treating even erectile dysfunction?

• • •

A video spread through news and the Internet in Korea.

People who saw the video were shocked.

“Thunder God, did Seong Yu-jin kick his sister to death? “What kind of hero is that!”

“No. Wait. What solid proof is there that that woman is her sister? “It could have been a composite video in the first place.”

“Look at Sung Yu-jin’s personality. “I recognized him from the time he walked around with women.”

“What is the Korean government doing? “The criminal must be caught immediately.”

“The video is fake, so stay still.”

“I am a video analyst. The video is real.”

“Isn’t this a photo of something like a hologram created by someone with the ability to create illusions? Don’t slander Seong Yu-jin.”

“Are you sure it was Seong Yu-jin’s younger sister in the first place?”

“That’s Seong Yu-jin’s younger brother. “She is Seong A-jin, and I know her well because she was my friend from middle school.”

Support and evaluation of Seong Yu-jin began to decline.

• • •

Jung Woo-hyun smiled happily.

Public opinion toward Seong Yu-jin began to turn. If things continue like this, Sung Yu-jin will change from a national hero to her close relative Slayer, and she will become the worst criminal.

‘Then she uses her own hands. In fact, she can now send special forces with this cause… This was before Seongak Elementary School collapsed. Seong Yu-jin will resist fiercely, so you will suffer a loss.’

Seong Yu-jin must be captured alive. As a bonus, Na Chae-young and Yu Seo-do. If she has him and her, Korea will continue to develop.

“Dismissal. Seong Yu-jin began broadcasting explanations.”

Shin Young-soo spoke next to him.

“Is it. Play it.”

Seong Yu-jin appeared on the TV screen. And next to him was Seong Ah-jin, who died with her head exploded.

“… !!”

Shin Young-soo was embarrassed. He glared at the TV with wide eyes.

Seong Yu-jin said on TV.

“I am Seong Yu-jin, a member of the National Assembly. I came today to explain what has caused an uproar in Korea. I killed my sister? My sister is next to me. That video is just a manipulated video to slander me. Right, Ajin?”

“Uh, ah. Huh. No, yes. That’s right. I’m alive. “The video was all fabricated.”

Bang!

Jung Woo-hyun hit the desk with his fist.

“Shin Young-soo!! How did this happen?!! Didn’t they say that Seong Yu-jin killed Seong A-jin!!”

“Really! Seong Yu-jin killed Seong A-jin right in front of my eyes! My agents and I saw it clearly!”

“Then what is that?! Is it fake?!”

“FALSE… Yes. It’s fake! It’s definitely fake. Furthermore, it is certain that they recruited someone with transformation skills and transformed her into Seong Ah-jin!! DNA test! All we have to do is use a genetic test to show that Seong Ah-jin is a fake!”

“What if the genes match? What are you going to do then?”

With the ability to transform, can even the genes be the same? There was a possibility. Because the abilities of the Awakened are so unique. It wasn’t even explained by science.

“Well, back then, the manipulation…”

“Tsk. 1st Deputy Director Shin Young-soo. You disappoint me so much.”

TV news is not over. Seong Yu-jin sent her Seong A-jin back and headed somewhere, leading the reporter and cameraman.

It was a hospital room.

The place was full of critically ill patients. Patients with amputated arms, patients with burns all over their bodies, patients in a vegetative state, elderly people with dementia.

“This is crazy… No way…”

Jung Woo-hyun’s eyes, predicting the future, shake violently. His prediction was exactly right.

“You know I have the ability to recover. Recently, its capabilities have advanced so that even critically ill patients can be treated. Look.”

The arm of the patient whose arm was amputated grew new.

A full-body burn patient regained smooth skin.

The vegetable person jumped up from the bed.

But the real thing came out only at the end.

An old man with dementia rejuvenated into middle age. Dementia? Of course, I recovered.

A miracle was unfolding in real time on live broadcast.

“This crazy guy… Who would have thought that even aging could be reversed… !”

Now all kinds of forces will target Seong Yu-jin. It has been discovered that not only can wounds be healed, but even aging can be reversed.

Does Seong Yu-jin have the confidence to stand up to those who are targeting her? Do you already have that much power? Is she not or is she trying to take advantage of Korea?

Worst of all, Seong Yu-jin was trying to become something beyond a hero.

God.

An untouchable being.

‘No, not yet.’

Critically ill recovery? It’s amazing.

However, this can of course be solved as technology develops.

A severed arm can be replaced with a prosthetic arm. Full body burns? Wouldn’t it be enough to develop a cure or create artificial skin and transplant it? Vegetable person? Similarly, as technology develops, it will be possible to solve the problem.

Aging? Same thing. Aging will eventually be overcome when technology reaches its peak.

And somewhere in the world, there may be an awakened person with abilities similar to Seong Yu-jin.

Jung Woo-hyun felt greed along with a sense of crisis.

‘If only I could get my hands on Seong Yu-jin and wield it as I wish… There will be no one in this Republic of Korea who can reject me.’

On the screen, Seong Yu-jin answered questions from reporters. Of course, what I’m most curious about is reversing aging.

“There are no side effects from aging reversal. My memory is still intact. But… Right now, I can only handle about one person a day. Even after that, I feel very tired. Unfortunately, not everyone can benefit from my abilities. Please understand.”

And finally

“The government is currently detaining my parents. The government, please send my parents to me as soon as possible. “I have the power to protect my parents.”

The government kidnapped and imprisoned Seong Yu-jin’s parents. It was clear that it would spread this way.

“I guess I shouldn’t take any more time. “I need to move the army.”

Eternal youth must be obtained. He did not suppress the greed that bloomed within him.
