Chapter 164 – Episode 164: Infiltrating City Hall

“Ha, these bastards…”

Infiltrating Gangneung City Hall, I looked at the monsters I killed.
Monsters in military uniforms from the 2nd Corps were huddled together in an unknown room in the basement.
Meeting them was purely by chance.
I visited the city hall at night to infiltrate the city hall and gather information.
The only place to enter to avoid the eyes of the soldiers standing guard was to move to the underground parking lot.

Entering the parking lot in the basement, I saw several doors connected to City Hall.

-No entry.

I saw a door that was the only one with poor security, and a note warning people not to enter.
I opened the door thinking that if it was a place with such a warning written on it, even scouts wouldn’t come in easily.

I did it because I had the confidence to break through whatever was in it.

“Huh!”

A huge iron gate that barely opens when I, an Awakener, do everything in my power.
After opening it, it was a thick iron door that was over 40 centimeters thick.

Why did you make such a big door?
Let’s open the door that ordinary people couldn’t even open.

There, I encountered dozens of monsters that appeared to have been intentionally created.
Growling monsters in military uniforms.
The skin was discolored black.

It was similar to Kang Kang-seong, a monster I had encountered not long ago, but the feeling was strangely different.
How to say
Should I be a little weaker?

But the life they had was too blatant.
It was no different from the monsters I had encountered before.
Living wildly uncontrolled.

They must have eaten everyone who opened the door here.

I thought there was no security at all.
There was no need for security.
It was like an intruder crawling into the tomb on its own.

“How many people have you sacrificed to create monsters like this?”

It was only for a moment that I was soaked in emotion.
He drew his sword and knocked down the monsters in front of him one by one.

Should I say I’m lucky?
All of the monsters gathered were much weaker than Kang Kang-seong, the monster I had dealt with.
It was the reason why he single-handedly defeated dozens of monsters without any damage.

Ayeek!!

He pierced the last monster’s neck and fell.
After clearing up all the monsters, I was convinced.

‘These people are not Awoken.’

The monsters who were awakened remained like a habit, including their attack skills and skills.
So I felt like I was fighting the Hunters, but they were different.

Soldier.
It also possessed the skills of a soldier without special skills.
There were also habits that an Awakener would never do.

I remembered a story I had heard when interrogating the squad leader.

The words that they said it was their honor to be offered as a sacrifice to the Watcher.
Did the squad leader know that the result was like this?

“If the world finds out that the church and the corps are actively training monsters by offering sacrifices, there will be an uproar.”

If ordinary people have the power to become this strong, it will be a headache in the future.
It wasn’t something I could handle alone.
And I know a few people who can officially move in my place.
The strongest among them.

Straight swordsman.

Click!

After sorting out the monsters, I took a picture of the terrible scene and sent it to the swordsman.
As soon as 1 disappeared, the phone rang.

-What is all that? Why is there a monster in a military uniform?
“General Matthew Yeol, the commander of the 2nd Corps, is creating monsters by sacrificing people to the Watchers.”
-General Matthew?
“Yes. It’s not something you can solve alone. There is also a connection with Daesung.”
-…

Around the time when the swordsman was silent.

– Is that true?

Diana’s voice was heard over the receiver.

“Miss Diana? Why are you with Geomseong-nim?”
-I was talking with you after finishing the work you and Sword Saint asked for. The study of the monster’s core.
“It ended sooner than expected.”
-Who am I? Well, let’s talk about the details in person, but you seem to be working on something more important than that. Are you saying that a Korean soldier is making a monster with his own hands?
“You’re right.”
– It’s not something we can just sit back and watch.
“It seems that the commander, General Matthew Yeol, has fallen into a pseudo-religion. And it is estimated that Daesung’s envoys spread the pseudo-religion.”

Through the receiver, Diana could be heard swallowing her saliva.

-Daesung was involved? Is that true?
“Yes. Most likely.”
– It’s not an easy thing to see. First of all, I’ll go there with the number of people available. Siwoo, can you take the cores from the corpses of those monsters and bring them to me?
“It is possible, but is there a reason?”
-I think we can get meaningful data if we compare it with the core of the monster we requested. It’s the woman who asked for it.
“Did the Sword Saint say that?”
-Yes.
“I see.”

If it helps to study monsters.

-Be careful.
“I know.”

I took the core of the monsters.
Then we went deeper into City Hall.
This tragedy will soon be discovered.

Even if it was a secret room deep underground, you wouldn’t have heard the sound of fighting.

Before that, you have to find clues.
A clue to restore Cheongha’s sister and a clue that the 2nd Corps is involved with Daesung.

I went into City Hall.

Why Ae Ae Ae!

In less than 15 minutes, the siren went off.

“It’s the start of a full-scale fight.”

Covering my face with a mask, I hurried inside.
Time is running out.

***

“You don’t know which bastard is like that? That makes sense!”

The 2nd corps commander, Matthew Yeol, gnashed his teeth and cornered the commander of the guard.

“I’m sorry.”
“If you say you’re sorry, your military service ends! You bastard! How did you manage the replacement and let all those precious monsters die!”

A special unit of 62 monsters that was barely created by offering hundreds of people as sacrifices to the Lord.
Those who had not yet properly established a way to issue orders were locked up in underground bunkers.
Monsters were collected and managed thanks to their non-fighting characteristics, but why did they all become corpses?

It was General Matthew Yeol who had to show it to Choi Woo-seok, the successor of Daesung, to win his favor and have a closer relationship with Daesung.

One reason.
Shin Seo-ah, his fiancée and the hero of River Gate.

She recalled an encounter with Shin Seo-ah, who came to visit her two years ago in the past.
At the time, General Mathee-yeol was puzzled by her visit, who had just had an engagement ceremony with managing director Choi Woo-seok, but there was no reason to refuse the visit of the hero Shin Seo-ah.
He had a brief interview with her.

– If this research ends successfully, Director Choi Woo-seok will be happy.

That day, she proposed a research project on mass production of monsters.
If you can mass-produce controllable monsters, Daesung can pick out talented people without relying on the academy, the military can recruit stronger soldiers, and citizens can be protected by such special forces, saying that it can be done.

At first, she said it was a ridiculous proposal, which she declined.
She couldn’t do anything at the expense of her subordinates.
In the first place, he knew who the monsters were.
He makes a monster with his own hands, is that what a man would do?

-How long will you be Chairman Daesung’s errand boy? How long are you going to rot in this Gangwon-do? What would you do if you were a hero of Gangwon-do? Politicians and association people in Seoul are not interested in the general.

She whispered her sweet words.

– Do you believe in the Salvation Church with me? The Watcher will lead this world to salvation. A world where you don’t have to suffer from monsters.
– And the general can go up to Seoul and take a higher seat. For example he’s going to be the president who isn’t there now.

President.
It was an unfilled seat since it was the only vacant seat while the dungeon was created and Korea fell into chaos.
Because of Daesung, the Guild Association, the existence of Awakeners, and the various political reasons that resulted from it.

The general’s hidden desire rose up in his heart.

-If you can make Choi Woo-seok an ally of the general by using this monster as bait, the general will be able to eat him in reverse and have Daesung as the general’s armed group after the death of the chairman Choi Woo-sung.
-2 Corps and Daesung. What could be afraid of a person with those two weapons? And if that’s the case…

Shin Seo-ah pulled back her collar slightly and pushed out her breastbone.

-Oops, can you imagine that I’m going to get wet too?

Shin Seo-ah, who comes to her and rubs her chest and whispers in her ear.
When the hero of the river gate whispered like a vulgar whore, General Matthew Yeol couldn’t contain his desire.
After crossing countless dead lines to defend Gangwon-do, he was the one who thought he was far from sexual desire.
For the first time, General Matthew Yeol, who had lived a life of integrity and missed his lost wife from time to time, felt lust.
I want to make that woman my own.
I don’t want to be taken away by a kid named Choi Woo-seok.
I want to hold those big breasts in my hand and knead them and covet the beautiful female body.
I want to open the vagina and drive my own butt to conquer it.

It was from then.
Why did Matthew Yeol begin to be immersed in Salvationism?

-If you become the president and the head of our Salvation Church, I will dedicate everything for the Shinseo-ah leader.

In a sticky voice, Matthew Yeol made a promise.
He said he would one day make this woman his own.

It was the starting point of all those plans.

“Find them all! Find out which bastard did it!”

The previous heroic appearance could not be found in General Mae-Yeol’s evil appearance.

Seeing General Matthew Yeol like that, Choi Woo-seok felt a question.

‘To think that the 2nd Corps is researching monsters.’

Why?
You said the president wanted this?
His grandfather, Chairman Woo-Sung Choi, was a strict man and pursued profit.
If there were many benefits to be gained from researching monsters, he would have boldly ordered the research.

‘This has more harm than good.’

If the fact that Daesung led the research on monsters is known to the outside world, there will be more social criticism and enemies who will scold Daesung.
Is it merit enough to shoulder all of them?

‘Well.’

If it was Choi Woo-seok himself, it was something he would never have done.
But he said it was the president’s initiative.
He must have something…

‘What are you thinking…’

Choi Woo-seok looked at Matthew Yeol in anger and thought about the president’s intention.
This is a test.
A test given by the Chairman to test himself.

Matthew Yeol gritted his teeth and found the beings who dealt with the monster, but in the end the culprit was not caught.
