Chapter 207 – (Episode 207) 31. Before the Storm
(Episode 207)
31. The Night Before the Storm
The Psychic Countermeasure Headquarters is a task force (TF) team temporarily organized to analyze information on psychics collected from various intelligence agencies.
It came to this point when William Gordon, an assistant secretary (SES Level IV), was appointed director and established as an independent agency under the US Department of Defense.
After Myeong-sik Han became an official contract of the federal government, starting with Mia, Naima, Marisa, and Faduma were recruited in turn.
As a government agency, its status and capabilities were rapidly rising, and at the same time, it was being asked for roles and results appropriate to it.
In this situation, suspicions arose of meddling in the internal affairs of South Korea, which serves as a buffer zone with China and has even signed a mutual defense treaty.
How would the high-ranking officials of the U.S. Federal government, especially the neocons, who do not cover the means and methods for the benefit of the United States, accept it?
“It’s a serious situation, but nothing will happen right away.”
Director William Gordon’s expression was serious, but it didn’t look like he was trying to reassure Han.
“What do you mean?”
“Because our country is so large, judgment and decision-making are often slow, but it has the advantage of being cautious about everything.”
“But don’t you believe in that and get stabbed in the back by the same side?”
“No way, I mean we have time and room to cope.”
“What do you plan to do?”
“A problem like this needs to be approached politically so as not to irritate the other party.”
When the word “Politics” Came up, Myungsik Han frankly expressed his thoughts.
“Since this has happened, how about openly collaborating with Korea?”
“Are you talking about the NIS?”
“If a new president is elected soon and the director of the National Intelligence Service is appointed, we will be able to expand it into an international organization.”
“Since your nationality is Korea, I have no reason to oppose it, but there is a high possibility that the neo-cons will not act as we intended.”
“So, as the director said, the Korean government is officially stepping up.”
“Ah! You mean to use the summit meeting?”
“Yes!”
“Would that be possible? You can’t control the new president of Korea unless you appoint one of your women, right? If I put in agents Naima or Marisa and get stepped on by the tail, then it won’t end like my head is blown off.”
This is because it is known that Myeong-sik Han’s ability is only displayed in certain situations.
“It will be possible because the new NIS chief is promised to help me. Isn’t it worth a try?”
“It would be worth trying if the Director of the National Intelligence Service directly stepped in, but I will come up with a concrete action plan.”
“Okay, let’s try it.”
The matter has finally come to a head, with competent and trustworthy director Gordon stepping in and Daisy Brown to assist as a senior agent.
However, Han Myeong-sik felt heavy in the face of the reality that the problem he thought he had settled in Korea is continuing to the United States.
Even when she first came to the United States, she thought of living quietly, fulfilling her delusions, just as she enjoyed dating Claire Lopez and making a volleyball team as a high school student, but I never thought it would be like this.
When she decided to work with the psychic countermeasure headquarters and decided to take her psychic as her own woman, she had no choice but to accept it if she thought it was a predictable result.
‘I can’t just throw away all the women I love and run away, I’ll just go all the way!’
✽✽✽✽✽
On the day South Korea elected a new president, a new life was born across the Pacific Ocean in Los Angeles, the house.
“You worked hard, Isabella. Wasn’t it hard?”
Han Myeong-sik’s kindness in holding her newborn daughter in her arms and holding her hand tightly, Isabella Jones held back her tears of emotion with a fresh and clean face that did not look like a pregnant woman.
“It’s okay, you just gave birth.”
“She looks like you, so my daughter is so pretty?”
“Whoops, isn’t that what the owner looks like?”
“He must be pretty because she looks just like him and Claire.”
“Oh, what about Claire?”
Upon arriving at her hospital, an hour after her colic started, Isabella, sitting up in her bed thanks to her natural delivery, looked as light as the smell of her flesh wafting from her.
“I’ll be arriving late in the afternoon, very upset that I didn’t see the birth of her youngest brother.”
“Are you coming today? It seems the filming went smoothly and according to schedule.”
“Since the filming is over, I didn’t think it was a good idea to come and visit Korea while touring, right?”
“Whoa, how did you know that her delivery date was a few more days away?”
“It just felt right.”
It was thanks to her ability that she did not even expect to know her birth date through her status window, and she reached level 80.
‘I can’t ignore the experience gained by manipulating the status window, but it’s clear that she benefited from using it twice a day in Korea.’
● Level: 80
● Applicable range: 200 m
● Usage time: 6 hours (360 minutes)
● Standby time: 6 hours
● Command 〉
○ Detailed setting 〉
● Usage list 〉
● Ability use: Yes
When the application range was 100m, there was no inconvenience, so the doubled difference did not approach much, but the change in use time and standby time was different.
‘Isn’t this invincible?’
Depending on how you use it, her abilities can be applied throughout the day, so the idea of invincibility is not just a bluff.
‘I thought it was a scam when I reached level 70, but the status window ability I got at level 80 is a real scam! Long live God! I love you!!’

‘Status window always display function’ is the ability to display the status window in real time when there is a specific pre-specified condition or change.
There is no doubt that you may be confused about whether time is stopped or not, but once you get used to it, you can immediately grasp the surrounding changes like in a real game.
And Han Myeong-sik prayed to God again, and the ability he liked was one of the ‘activating humans when time is stopped’.
▷ Human activation function during time stop 〉
– Status window always active display function: Applied
– Function to activate the consciousness of the manipulation target: not applied
– Ability to use ability at all times for manipulation target: not applied
– Operation target unconscious state setting: not applied
– Activation state memory interlocking function: not applied
The ‘function to use the ability to manipulate the target at all times’, which I thought was not a big deal at first because only one was added, was literally like a scam.
In a state where time is stopped, you can use your abilities to your heart’s content without being restricted by usage time or waiting time.
Spatial invisibility, a psychic power that deceives the eye like Faduma, is rarely used in a state where time is stopped, so it is not possible to benefit from it.
Mia, who can use space movement once a minute, can now use it immediately without waiting time,
Nima, whose available time was reduced each time she merged into a shadow, can become another person indefinitely if time is stopped.
The number of people that can be manipulated at the same time is limited, and it only lasts for two days, and it takes 12 hours to apply again, so Marisa can control all humans within the scope of application at will.
“What do you think?”
Han Myeong-sik, who suddenly regained consciousness at Isabella’s affectionate voice feeding her fifth daughter colostrum, smiled more confidently.
“I was thinking about how to make myself happy after giving birth to our beautiful daughter.”
“I’m just happy to be by your side. I am so happy that I feel like I am dreaming.”
“Isabella!”
She was so proud and lovely that she was about to hug her and kiss her, but the baby caught between her mother and father burst into tears.
“Aaaaa”
“Oh gu oh gu my daughter!”
She was the daughter of his girlfriend Claire Lopez’s real mother, so she was considered prettier and more lovable than the daughters of married sex slaves who were already about two years old.
“Mom, what about the youngest?”
“Wow, pretty!”
“My little brother! My little brother!”
As soon as the three older sisters entered the hospital room, they started looking for the youngest brother.
“Quaaaaa!”
“Sister Isabella!”
“Congratulations!!”
“The baby is so pretty!”
“Just like mom!”
“You worked hard!”
The big family members who came together cheered as the hospital left and made a fuss like it was their own business.
“Huh… Mom!”
Claire, who arrived last after the rest of the family had gone, burst into tears for her mother, like her eldest daughter.
“Is it straight from the airport?”
“Yeah, I wanted to see my mother and my baby, so Myung-shik brushed it off.”
“Now, it’s your daughter.”
When Isabella handed over her sleeping baby, Claire rejoiced, with her excited expression as if she were accepting the daughter of her real self.
“And… And… ! Wow! Too… So very pretty! How can a newborn baby be so pretty?”
“You look exactly like you, don’t you?”
“I know… She really is like my daughter, I want to give birth to a pretty daughter like her, ah…”
Then, a status window popped up above Claire’s head as she approached and sat down next to her mother.
[Love for Myungsik Han MAX !]
[Maximum belief in Myeongsik Han!]
[Maximum obedience to Myeongshik Han!]
[Maximum sexual desire for Han Myeong-sik!]
[Maximum Desire for Pregnancy!]
[Excited state MAX !]
[Orgasm stage 1 in progress]
[Unable to conceive: taking birth control pills]
I set it as the target of automatic display of the status window, and it is easy. Han Myeong-sik quickly changed the setting.
‘It’s fun, but it’s too much like a game… , Shall we see what Isabella is like?’
[Love for Myungsik Han MAX !]
[Maximum belief in Myeongsik Han!]
[Maximum obedience to Myeongshik Han!]
[Maximum sexual desire for Han Myeong-sik!]
[Maximum Desire for Pregnancy!]
[Excited state MAX !]
[Orgasm stage 2 in progress]
[Possible status for pregnancy]
In normal women, ovulation begins 4 weeks after giving birth and pregnancy is possible.
Isabella was ready to conceive right away, as if her stomach, which had been distracted, was already firm.
‘This is a bit stimulating, should I do it?’
The smell of her breast milk filling the room was slightly disturbing, but the mature charm that the mother and daughter radiated in competition with the contents of the automatically displayed status window was too stimulating.
“What is my baby’s name?”
She was trying to think about how to eat her mother-daughter rice bowl, but Han Myeong-sik regained her reason at Claire’s voice.
“Uh… I haven’t decided yet.”
“What is your dad saying, is your mom going to build it?”
Then, as Isabella accepted her baby, she glanced at Han Myeong-sik.
“I’m more worried about what to do with my baby’s last name than my first name.”
“Right, there is that problem. Mommy still using Jones?”
“Yeah, all of your younger siblings are Jones, so I’m using them for now…”
In many cultures, including the United States, family members use one family name.
It is common to follow either the paternal or maternal line, except in cases where both parents’ surnames were used, as in some noble families in the past.
“You should keep using your surname like in Korea, so why bother changing it?”
19-year-old Claire’s playfulness was triggered by Han Myung-sik’s funny reaction, grumbling and shy.
“In Rome, we have to follow the Roman law, mother and baby should use the surname Han from now on?”
“What… What?”
