Chapter 584 – Special Forces Department -1-

It was a strange experience for the first time in my life.

For some reason, my resolve to keep my mouth shut was broken.

“···Roman. I have something I want to ask you.”

“Huh?”

After leaving the café, Lee Choa couldn’t hold back and asked Roman.

How on earth did you do that earlier?

“It’s not something magical or anything. It just erases its existence.”

She says it’s one of her specialties.

It was a short and concise explanation, but Lee Choa did not understand it at all.

‘Presence…? How do I erase it?’

What on earth is that?

The technique Roman showed was completely different from just holding his breath.

It’s not like a ghillie suit that hides itself by assimilating into natural objects.

It’s not like kneeling down in the dark and praying and waiting for a ghost to pass by.

It just disappears from recognition.

It becomes impossible to capture with the senses.

From her perspective, this was more magical than the petrification that Alice had shown her as magic.

Ichoa stared at Roman as he called her ladies.

“Yeah. Are you having fun? I can hear the cat meowing.”

“···.”

“Is that so? Chloe is strangely popular with cats.”

Now that I’m walking down the street, I can clearly see it.

“If the battery is low, you can ask the people working there to recharge it.”

“···.”

The smile did not disappear from Roman’s face as he listened to the wives’ voices.

The phone call continued.

Even if the call lasts long, Choa Lee understands.

Even though I didn’t know what was being said on the phone, I felt that the owner of the voice kept changing.

It looks like the wives are taking turns chatting.

“That’s right. I’ll come back as soon as possible. If you’re hungry, eat something first.”

Only after standing in front of the crosswalk did Roman end the call.

First, he apologized to Lee Cho-ah.

“Sorry. The call was a bit long.”

“No. I thought your wife would be worried since we were going to an area where public access is strictly prohibited.”

“It’s a little different from that… But let’s leave it at that for now.”

The signal changed to green.

The two stretched out their feet and Roman naturally continued the conversation with Lee Cho-ah.

“Are you going to go and submit the book right away?”

“I plan to do so if the agenda is accepted smoothly. I’m not sure what will actually happen as it is certain that it will be dug into one way or another…”

“What about a copy?”

“I’ve thought about it, but if the Special Department doesn’t accept it, I don’t think there’s any point in having a copy in the first place. And I might seem arrogant about that topic…”

“I guess I memorized it.”

“Broadly speaking… Yes.”

Lee Cho-ah timidly showed positivity.

“That book. Give it to me for a moment.”

“Yep.”

Lee Cho-ah handed the note to Roman without saying anything.

As Roman continued to follow Ichoa, he quickly began to check what she had written in her notebook.

“It’s difficult to create something that can change the world without restrictions.”

From Lee Choa’s perspective, he doesn’t know what Roman is talking about.

‘Pharmaceutical…?’

But she doesn’t bother to ask.

Ichoa kept her silence and watched Roman’s actions closely.

“!”

Roman’s presence became blurred again.

Is the degree to which it kills one’s presence less significant than before? Unlike before, I feel like I’m next to her and I can see it in her eyes.

“Isn’t it a waste of time to go down a side street?”

“···.”

What on earth are you trying to do?

Roman, who naturally attracted attention just by walking, but by the time she reached the end of the crosswalk, all the surrounding attention had gone.

“I think even the turtle will understand this.”

Roman muttered to himself, took out the rolled up paper from his arms, and unwrapped the cloth.

The paper was full of unknown letters, like the book Roman had dictated.

While Lee Cho-ah is watching.

Roman spread the paper over the notebook and overlapped it.

And the next process.

“Nir.”

Cry!

One span above Roman’s palm.

A chain pierced the air and flowed out with a metallic sound.

“Huh…!?”

Lee Choa stopped breathing in shock.

She was confident that she had adapted to the unrealistic elements while facing ghosts.

I am astonished by every single thing Roman shows me, like a child seeing the world for the first time.

Roman didn’t care about Lee Cho-ah’s reaction.

She began to bind the notebook and a piece of paper together using the glaif nir.

And she stops walking for a moment.

Icho Ado also broke her stride late.

“Fuuuuu…”

I should say that it is a rare face with serious concentration.

The moment Roman let out a long breath.

Chizzy──!!!

A dark red electric current jumped out like a spark from the chain wrapped around the book.

“!!!”

Ichoa was startled and turned her head around.

‘No one passing by…’

As if I were invisible, none of the passers-by paid any attention to me.

She may or may not know Lee Cho-ah, who is very nervous and wary of her surroundings.

“Whoa, the end.”

Roman finished his leisurely work and untied the chains that were wrapped around her.

“Okay, are you finished?”

Lee Choa looked at Roman’s hand.

Surprisingly, the note I had written was intact, but the paper I had placed on top of it was gone.

“Uh. As expected, this kind of force takes a bit of strength.”

Squeak! Snort!

“Yes, it’s pretty. Well done.”

After completing the work, a chain clings to Roman’s body and rubs affectionately.

What is Lee Cho-ah’s state when she sees Roman patting it and saying it’s pretty.

“···.”

··

··

There were so many things I wanted to ask Roman.

So Lee Cho-ah asked what was that thing just now.

The answer that came back was as simple as expected.

It is said that she put restrictions on her notes.

The paper I posted above is a mana contract, but of course I don’t know.

Roman, who gave the answer later, also felt that the explanation was lacking.

I started a conversation by twirling the note on her finger.

“Do you remember the name of the mental technique you are learning now?”

“It is the Sumi Heavenly King’s Godly Art.”

“Now, you will have memorized all the gugyeol, and you will also be properly familiar with the directions for practicing internal energy.”

“Yes.”

“Then can you teach that mental method to others?”

Lee Choa thought seriously.

It didn’t take long for the answer to come out.

Because it was so clear.

“···No. It’s impossible.”

“There is no need to be discouraged. Inheriting excellent mental techniques is difficult. That is normal.”

Even if they have martial arts skills, there is a high possibility that ordinary people will not be able to learn excellent martial arts skills if they do not receive help.

“But what about this?”

The note that was spinning on his finger landed in Roman’s hand! Caught.

“Well, um…”

“Okay. Let’s think about it a little differently.”

“Yes?”

“Assuming that the difficulty of the mind method you have learned now is 10. How difficult do you think the exercise method you wrote down earlier is?”

Lee Cho-ah began to worry again.

This time, the time to think is not short.

“Maybe around 2 to 3…?”

“Even if it is 1, it is actually understandable.”

Lee Choa nods slightly.

She began to get a sense of what kind of story Roman was trying to tell.

“That’s why you need constraints. It’s so easy to learn. If you have talent, there’s no limit to your growth.”

“Are the restrictions that Roman mentioned a means of preventing it from spreading to the public?”

Roman replied that it was similar and handed the note back to him.

“If you use mystical powers, it’s not a problem to kill an ordinary person, right?”

“That’s right.”

“Imagine if a practice method that is easy for the average person to learn is spread out into society. Would you be able to handle it?”

“···.”

“In countries where firearms are regulated, easier means of murder than guns or knives are created.”

Ichoa closed her eyes tightly, just imagining it for a moment.

If the power spreads, the chaos Roman said would inevitably come.

In today’s society, there are endless conflicts that cannot be resolved.

··

··

“Do you see the building over there?”

“Oh, I can tell just by looking at it. Looking at the condition of the man at the entrance, it looks like he is a member of the special task force.”

“···That’s right.”

As Roman said, the person smoking a cigarette was a member of the special task force.

“I will go.”

“I will follow you, so go comfortably.”

I wonder if the physical condition of the special unit members mentioned by Roman is better than that of ordinary people.

Does this mean I’m about to die?

Feeling reluctant to ask, Ichoa stretched out her foot.

Again. Again. Ttogak.

The incident has already reached Lee Cho-ah.

There is only one sound of footsteps.

Han Roman, who decided to hide her appearance, could not hear her breathing or footsteps.

“Thank you for your hard work. I heard you were in Chungcheong Province. Have you returned?”

Lee Cho-ah approached first and spoke to the member with whom he had only met a few acquaintances.

His face looked quite tired.

“Ah! It’s been a while since I last saw you. We just returned. We didn’t have any major injuries, so we just came to report and take a break tomorrow.”

“I’m glad there were no injuries. Is the manager inside by any chance?”

“Haha, I don’t know either. But I saw the manager’s car in the parking lot.”

“Thank you. See you next time.”

Dae-won, who was sucking out the tobacco all the way to the filter, and Lee Cho-ah, promising the next step, entered the special department building.

Beep!

The first floor lobby where I entered after swiping my employee ID.

‘Where is Roman?’

Is it following you?

I can’t find where she is.

Lee Choa walked to the elevator, pressed the button, and looked around.

“Behave naturally since you’re next to me.”

“Hi!”

Roman’s voice whispering in my ears.

Ichoa, who was startled, reflexively covered her mouth.

“Don’t worry about CCTV or anything like that. Take the easy route.”

At those words, Ichoa couldn’t help but look behind her.

“···.”

I don’t know where Roman has already gone.

Ding!

The elevator has arrived.
