Chapter 100 – [Raccoon Man Beginning]

Hundreds of people entered the chapel of the church and took their seats. Sitting on a wooden chair that has a lot of seats unique to the church, they sit tight and wait quietly without any sign of talking to anyone.

It wasn’t that there weren’t children among the dogs, but they didn’t make a fuss either. As if he had already been scolded for talking, he was trying to soothe his boredom by moving like a joke.

“I will start worship soon, everyone.”

The words of the man who seemed to be a pastor made the people even quieter. Even though he hadn’t said anything before, there was a sign that someone was moving, but now he was just staring at him, as if he was completely solid as a stone.

The man on the podium, dressed in a white priest’s uniform, opened the bible on the podium and drew his last name.

“All of you here have lost someone. Some have lost a child, some have lost a friend, some have lost a parent. They are all different, but one thing they have in common is that we are all still suffering.”

Suddenly, I realized why this church was able to gather people like this.

Most of the people here are older people. There are young children who look like children, but there are no young people in their 20s. Why is that?

That’s because the people here lived through the Great Depression. If you were in your 1st or 20th then, you will be in your 3rd or 40th now.

I lost my parents at that time, but I don’t know because it’s an old story before I even woke up in my past life memories. Even though I am a transcendental person, it is one of the inconveniences caused by many parts of me being bound by my body.

But I am also, but what about the people who were young people at that time? The shock of losing loved ones right in front of your eyes is something that cannot be erased even with time. What these people need is a place to lean on.

The pastor seemed to be aiming for that part.

“The only thing I can do is to comfort you with words. This is the mission I received from God, and God looked down on me and gave me a weak position.”

“No, Pastor!”

“Everything has gotten better thanks to the pastor.

There was something creepy about the blind muttering of the people’s voices. I broke out in a cold sweat at the sight that was beyond what I could only see on TV.

Ignoring the words of the congregation, the pastor continued his words.

“Monsters from another world take away our kin and loved ones, and what happens as a result is an ordeal from God. Those who overcome the ordeal will reach heaven in the afterlife and be freed from all suffering…But that doesn’t mean That’s why God doesn’t turn away from us now.”

“Yes, it is……”

“Pastor is right…Of course.”

“Surely God is looking down on you…!”

I wonder if I came in for nothing. The worship room, which was quiet at first, was filled with the voices of believers. Nevertheless, the pastor’s voice was louder.

Since he is also a Force user, his physical abilities should be better than those of ordinary people, so it was only natural.

“Only those who believe in Him, God looks down and bestows salvation and miracles. Everything you experience before your eyes is something that God has arranged and bestows on you. So please don’t forget that and live your life.”

There is one questionable point.

First of all, even if it’s second to being called a pastor, why did you draw your last name? No matter how much I don’t know much about religion, I’m sure Catholics will cross the cross sign, but Protestants won’t.

Besides, why is it that we don’t even know if God is God or God, but just call God God? At least, if it were a Protestant god, he would call it Jehovah, but there was no such feeling.

I think it’s like a properly mixed religion. In the first place, pseudo-religions are all there.

The service after that was nothing special. I just finished reading a few lines of the Bible and explaining it.

It only took about 2 hours. I was scolded because I couldn’t even use my cell phone and I was bored.

“We’ll stop here for today. Brothers and sisters who will be returning, please leave first. Those who are staying will have a meal later in the restaurant and see you during the evening service.”

Wait, is there another service in the evening?

How many times a day do you pray? It wouldn’t be good to do a lot.

I blended in with the crowd and went outside. I still need to go around to gather more information.

Above all, he has yet to find his ex-wife. Despite squinting at hundreds of people inside, they could not find it.

I quietly moved to a place where there were no people and contacted Shion.

“Uh, it’s me. Can you hack CCTV here?”

[I’ll look for it… Hmm, these guys are complete jerks. Are there really people there? There are no Internet-connected items, only analog!]

“A cell phone? Is there such a thing?”

[I figured out that hundreds of mobile phones were gathered in one place. But isn’t it too much that there is no CCTV in such a facility?]

“Did you collect the believers’ cell phones?”

[It looks like that. Anyway, I don’t have an electronic device connected to the internet, so there’s little I can do to help]

“No, it’s okay”

If CCTV is not installed in these places, there is a disadvantage that it is difficult to find a suspect when a criminal act occurs. But it can also be an advantage.

That is, if you are the suspect in the case.

Where in the world do you take your cell phone? Schools that work hard won’t be like that these days.

“Joe’s team leader said that he was stopped here, so he must be here somewhere…”

I need to find more, but I decided to eat first. When you’re hungry, you can’t do anything. Second, I could live without eating, but there was nothing wrong with eating.

The restaurant was a spacious two-story building, with seating for about 70 people at a time on one floor. It’s on the second floor, so 140 people at a time. It was a rather large facility, so considering the rotation time for hundreds of people, there was little chance that there wouldn’t be enough seats to eat.

Most of the places that sell meal tickets in the world these days are replaced by electronic devices, but there was a separate store that sold meal tickets to see if it was true that Shion said there were no electronic devices.

Worse, no cards! God these days! Fuck!

Somehow, he said he had enough cash to bribe members of the National Assembly! If you receive offerings in cash and food stamps in cash in this way, you won’t be able to evade taxes, and you’ll be able to collect cash quickly!

“Somebody’s meal ticket costs 3,000 won each…”

There are not many menus, just eat what they give you, just like school lunches. And about 3,000 won per meal.

Of course, if you make it in large quantities and choose a good company, you can get good enough rice for 3,000 won, but… This is a place where there are only mountains and rivers around.

As for the level of visuals… Army food enough to eat roughly?

It wasn’t seaweed soup with meat or seaweed soup, but there was at least one side dish with stir-fried meat. I just stir-fried it with bulgogi sauce, but…

As a foodie, this type of cooking is unacceptable. It is a matter of sincerity before choosing a menu.

The rice is also steamed rice, and there is a lot of tea that has been roughly made. Does this taste good?

I’ll just have to eat it and finish it.

“……?”

As soon as I took a bite of the bulgogi, a warm feeling ran down my back.

The taste is not strange. The taste itself wasn’t too bad as I used commercially available bulgogi sauce.

“………”

If there was a problem, it was the meat side.

The meat was neither beef nor pork. It wasn’t even chicken at all. But it tasted similar to what I had before.

Of course it’s not the same. It was something very different from what I remember. Even if it was cooked with sauce and stir-fried, the taste was different. I didn’t know if I wanted to deny it.

I put down the rice I was sneakily eating and headed for the leftovers disposal site. Then, seeing me with most of the rice left, a man in a black priestly uniform asked.

“Doesn’t the rice suit your taste, brother?”

A look of doubt and doubt was read in his eyes. Depending on what you answer here, there is a high chance that you will be caught.

I decided to just look around. If the data is blown away like the last time while messing around, the hard work will not be worth it. Moreover, there are no electronic devices here, so I will record it in analog form, so if the data is also a bundle of documents, if it is destroyed, Zion cannot be recovered.

Let’s put up with nature. I am a patient person when needed.

“I don’t have an appetite because I’m upset.”

“It looks like you have a lot of hard work.”

“Yes, didn’t the dimensional earthquake happen last time in Myeong-dong? So some of my buildings there were destroyed… To be honest, it’s hard these days.”

“Is that so?”

Hearing that there was a building, his complexion changed.

However, as if his doubts had not yet been resolved, he asked a question that was difficult to justify.

“By the way, brother. It seems like you’re seeing someone for the first time. Who introduced you?”

“…….Ah”

This is the hard part for me to say. I thought about killing him all at once and grabbing the pastor and making him blow, but suddenly I had a good idea.

Indeed, that’s why you made such a coincidence in the first place. Absolute destiny.

“I heard from Eugene’s father.”

“Hmm, Eugene’s father…”

“Eugene was a child who had a heartache and had a hard time going out, but she said that since she started attending this church, she has improved a lot, so I was invited as well.”

“I see. You felt sorry for Eugene too at a young age. A boy who should be playing in full swing is so sick.”

“Yes? Eugene is a girl?”

“Ah! It seems I mistook you for another child. Rest in peace then brother.”

Until you deliberately look at it. It would have been a big deal if she hadn’t met him.

The man in the black priestly robe smiled and parted. I threw away the rice at the leftovers disposal site and left.

Damn, since I work in the restaurant business, I don’t usually leave anything to eat. I mean ‘to eat’.

A long time ago, I was forced into an extreme situation and ate it, but that was only twice so that even I can remember exactly. By the time I became a transcendent and didn’t have to eat, I hadn’t even touched it. But, I would eat here.

But the taste was different. I’ve only had it twice, but besides being more or less similar, it tasted more different. I’m used to it, so I can’t figure out what it is.

I figured out that these bastards are insane pseudo-religions. Even if the pastor bastard says something nice while talking, I will judge that these bastards are not human bastards from now on.

Seriously, it’s not my opinion, but there are things people can do and things they can’t do. What you’re doing is really good.

It’s the same with the others, but I personally beat the pastor. I will make sure you neither die nor live in the most painful way I can.

“Hey, I’m here for the first time today. Do you have free time until evening service?”

“Oh, I go to the small worship room in the dorm and personally pray or talk with the priests, and I usually spend time like that.”

“Thank you for telling me”

“What is it? It’s nothing.”

It seems that Force users who wear black are called priests. No, isn’t the sign of the cross Catholic, a pastor a Protestant, and a priest a Catholic?

These guys are complete jerks. I realized again that it was a pseudo. They don’t have a root. Root.

First of all, I decided to look around the inn. Even if you don’t know which lodging, you can easily get around because you just have to excuse yourself.

There are about 10 rooms on each floor that can fit 5 people in each room. It has 3 floors, so 150 people. There were several such buildings, enough to accommodate hundreds of people.

There was a list posted in front of the front door of the room, and it seems that the way to find one’s accommodation by looking at the list.

After going around two buildings, I found the three letters of the name ‘Han Yeo-jin’ attached to the door of the room. This is the name of the ex-wife of team leader Joe.

“Hey, excuse me.”

“Who are you?”

There may be places where families stay together, but in the case of individuals, women stay together, so an elderly lady came out.

I know her face from looking at the picture, so this person must not be Mrs. Han Yeo-jin. She has no sign other than this person inside. Since she shares the same room, you should know where she is.

“Excuse me. I’m an acquaintance of Mrs. Han Yeo-jin. I heard that she was here, but where did she go?”

“She’s Mrs. Han? She’s Mrs. Han. She died a week ago.

“Yes?”

I wonder if they crossed paths with each other, but if that was the case, Team Leader Jo couldn’t have sent me.

Did you get into an accident on the way back? I want to, but there’s no way I’ll get into an accident that I can’t find.

If that was the case, Shion would have informed me a long time ago. And she would have contacted team leader Jo, who was her family.

“Who said it? Mrs. Han herself?”

“No, the priest did.”

Hopefully these guys…!
