Chapter 106 – [Raccoon Man Beginning]

His name…No, I don’t know what to call him. First of all, his real name is Ryuhan, but he also has a name with Phantom. Speaking of Phantom Ryuhan, it’s a strange name because it’s something of a jjamppong.

“Just call me Ryuhan? Call me Phantom? I don’t know why they confuse them because they have two names.”

[What era is it these days? There are people who can’t pronounce my name properly, so I should have at least one English name]

“It’s funny because a person born in fantasy who doesn’t even speak English says something like that.”

[It was like that in my time, oh, back then it was in full swing… What’s trending these days?]

“Regression”

[Hi, you can’t live faithfully in the present, so go back to the past and change your life with future knowledge cheats?]

“It’s probably because you can’t change the harsh reality without cheats like that.”

[I saw all the balls. Anyway, that’s it.]

The red eyes narrowed. It was like a person staring with his eyes wide open.

In that appearance of the phantom where the face itself did not exist, only the eyes were the means to express or read emotions.

[Why didn’t you come to the last meeting?]

“That’s what your brother-in-law called you.”

Shion’s cousin, Utopia. He is also my co-worker.

To put it in detail, my brother-in-law Utopia, the phantom in front of me, and me, and two others behind him, but I’ll introduce them later anyway.

It doesn’t happen often, but it comes around when I can forget about it. Participation is, of course, individual freedom. However, at least three people must participate.

Because what I do is decided through a vote, three people are absolutely necessary for fairness. If there is one person, you have to judge with your personal opinion, and if there are two people, you can have a half-and-half opinion, so there must be three people.

In the past, there were only three of us, so when we were summoned, we often jumped out, but now there are two people behind me, so it’s okay to leave.

Besides, since the person who called me is my brother-in-law, I don’t have to go.

“You know my brother-in-law is a shepherd boy in that part. If I don’t like it, I call him, and to be honest, when we were alone, half of the calls were made by my brother-in-law. And half of them didn’t even reach the cut-off.”

[It’s better these days]

“I wonder how many civilizations my brother-in-law erased when we weren’t around.”

I’ve said it before, but Utopia, who is Shion’s cousin and my brother-in-law, is more of a personality traitor than I am.

At least I feel pity and sympathy for the poor. If it wasn’t for that, Yejin wouldn’t even claim to be her guardian because she had the same child.

He is a psychopath who cannot empathize with others. However, erasing the stars was given enough power to make it simple with one finger.

Then, if you’re wrong, you’re a psychopathic monster that burns civilization.

My brother-in-law, but not harsh. Rather, it was refined. That’s why Lee Myeong is also the ‘worst demon king’.

[How are you these days?]

“It’s okay. We’re newlyweds as well. Hey, it seems like just yesterday that you were teased for being the king of virginity in the old days.”

[When did you sit down to talk? I’m talking about so long ago that I can’t even remember]

“Have you already suffered from dementia? Then it’s a big deal.”

[It would be nice if you were young. But in terms of age, aren’t you older?]

“Unlike anyone else, I don’t have crazy talent enough to climb to the road before I’m 30, so I’m going to become a road class by this age. Do you pick one?”

To say that he climbed the road before he was thirty is more ridiculous than the bullshit that a newborn baby caught a dragon after refining a new sword out of nowhere.

But he did.

As if all his talents were put into it, his head was similar to mine, but his power was beyond imagination. Right now, they say they have the same size as me, but if they want to, they can change their bodies on a planet-by-planet basis, so they can crush a star with one punch.

[Enough of asking each other’s regards… So, do you have any thoughts of converting yet?]

“It’s not easy to get in return”

[Hagisa, if I were in your position, I would do it. But that and this are different]

Phantom is pretty fair.

I and he are from different factions, but even so, they won’t kill me right now. Because the person he is targeting is different.

He slowly began to enter the abyss again. He is the lord of the abyss, so he can breathe and exist naturally even in the abyss that are painful to others.

[Tell it to the Absolute of Destiny. If you don’t lock yourself in your dimension, I’ll find you and destroy you in five minutes.]

“I should have known that too.”

After saying that, he disappeared. The black shadows that remained on the floor also disappeared.

Come to think of it, there was one thing that came to mind because he was said to be the absolute ruler of fate.

I passed through the broken wall again into the next room. There was Eugene, crouched in the corner of the room, shivering. Fortunately, I don’t think I’ve ever seen the Phantom. If I had seen it, it wouldn’t have ended with trembling.

It must have been frightening and frightening because he had gone through a rough experience, but that wasn’t the reason why Eugene was terrified.

The tears she sheds are because her hopes for the future have been shattered.

“Mr. Raccoon Man… Am I not good? Can’t I go on a trip?”

The fate of this child ends there. Either he lives his entire life in the hospital, or he turns into a monster one day because of that damn grace or whatever.

If the Absolute of Destiny twisted fate and created a relationship between me and this child to make me suffer, I would like to say that the time when I was already suffering like that is long ago.

I took out a long black octahedral crystal from my bosom. The crystal that shimmered like obsidian was as beautiful as a piece of jewelry or art.

This is an item imbued with the power of the youngest of my co-workers.

I tried to use it if there were people who were brainwashed because it was a religious group, but I couldn’t use it because there were people who were instigated, but there were no people who were brainwashed. Because brainwashing and incitement are different. The problem is that the usage becomes ambiguous depending on whether it is voluntary or unintentional.

“No, you can travel”

I stabbed Eugene’s heart shallowly with a crystal. He’s only slightly pricked by a needle, so it shouldn’t hurt too much.

Then, the rap energy in Eugene’s heart was drained out at once. Her body loosened, she let out her deep breath.

“I will travel to various places, meet people, meet and marry a man who is cooler than me when I grow up, have a son and a daughter, live well and die in front of my children.”

The nickname of the owner of this crystal is ‘The Demon King of Freedom and Rights’. He is the judge of freedom and rights in human civilization.

The power contained in the crystal is of the same type as my ability, and that ability is ‘freedom’.

If Yu-jin’s congenital pain is unrelated to her will, it can be cured with this correction. It will take time, but as long as you don’t give up.

Along with that, I also gave a blessing.

“I’m not a god, but I’m a person who hates gods, but I can bestow a blessing on your future path. So, from now on, you can live well without any worries.”

If Shion were by my side, I would have said something like a magic spell, ‘It will definitely work out’, but I’m not provoking anyone, but I’m not good at comforting anyone, so I’m not good with words.

When a transcendental person reaches a state, he can bestow blessings according to his characteristics.

For example, if you give the blessing of the head of the Storyteller family, one of the three most prestigious families like me, you will be able to understand any language.

You can’t just write and speak, but anyone who knows how helpful it is to learn a language just by being able to listen to it.

As before, Phantom, the lord of the abyss and the Lord of Darkness, has mental resistance to negativity, his eyes brighten in the darkness of the night, and darkness covers him when he hides. It deals with the abyss, but why is it even the darkness? Was it like that in the first place?

In my case… The thing I do best is killing, but if it becomes a blessing to others, the story changes.

As long as the causal rate does not exceed a certain level, I will not die by means other than the cause of death I designated.

If Eugene were to die of natural causes due to aging right here and now, even if a truck crashed on the road, he would get out of sight, and even if he committed suicide, he would fail by heavenly luck.

I want to die but can’t die can be a hellish situation… But at least this child needs that certainty.

He gave a pretty strong blessing, so even if a meteorite falls and the whole world perishes, wouldn’t he be able to survive alone?

If that level of causality is corrected, even the absolute of fate would have no choice but to recalculate Yujin’s future, right? Even if it’s just one person’s cause and effect, since I’ve blessed it, it won’t end with some minor calculation adjustments.

In short, it may not be the coding that the programmer has done so far, but is it at the level of asking the programmer to redo the coding he did yesterday from the beginning? It will be annoying, but it will be within the acceptable rangehaha, that’s the original purpose!

Causality correction is not about winning. It’s called an opponent. All right

Eugene went through a lot of shocking things and slowly fell asleep, probably feeling weak. When he wakes up from a deep sleep, he should be able to walk on his own without any Raff energy.

In her silence, I brought one of her blankets near her and covered her.

This thing ended like that.

*        *    *

What mattered was the aftercare.

Even after the transformation, about 50 priests died, and there were people who clearly witnessed it.

But what? It’s already in the form of an enemy species, and it’s mixed here and there at the genetic level, so you wouldn’t even be able to identify it as yourself? If it’s one or two people, you might not know it, but it would be a job to figure out the identity of 50 priests, but to get physical evidence that they were human, and to do that, you’d have to go through quite a bit of trouble?

Besides, if it is connected to the upper line, it will only be treated as missing at best.

If the investigation goes in, there will be no choice but to find out that he received the back money, and then he will have to hurry to hide it.

A dimensional square was opened during a religious meeting, and while people were confused because of that, the repertoire of Raccoon Man appearing and defeating the enemy species will benefit them.

A pastor without a body left? That’s it, you can deal with the disappearance. If he was thrown into the abyss anyway, his body would have been torn to pieces and died long ago, and his soul would suffer there, so no physical evidence would remain. At least there was no CCTV, so nothing was recorded.

The only thing that bothered me was that I couldn’t save Team Leader Joe’s ex-wife.

“Hello?”

[Ah! Mr. Worst! How did it go? What about your wife?]

“It was already too late when I left.”

[……..Ah]

He usually speaks in short language, but until this happens, he is not without conscience enough to speak in short language. There is nothing more distasteful than the sight of someone messing around in front of the news of an obituary.

For a while, I couldn’t hear a word over the receiver. The only sound was a faint sob mixed with tears.

[……Did you find her body?]

“It’s already been treated… And burned. There’s no bone meal.”

[Then……]

I lied on purpose. Your ex-wife was forcibly mutated into a hostile species and turned into a monster. A corpse will come out if you search, I’m not cold-blooded enough to say the same thing.

At least the corpse was intact and I had to tell him that it was finely cut so I wouldn’t cut his mind now.

[My wife…How did that happen?]

“It looks like he was beaten up when he tried to come out after realizing that it wasn’t a normal religion. Perhaps he was silenced… He found out that only records remained, so he only found traces.”

[Okay, thank you very much. You worked hard]

Even if you were divorced, it wouldn’t have been that you didn’t have a heart.

The human mind is quite subtle, and even if you think you cut it off, the ends may remain. Judging by the tears he shed over the death of his ex-wife, it seems that he was very affectionate.

I know that pain too. Besides Shion, there was someone I had been in love with before. She even sent that lover before me.

Most of them were sent naturally, but there were times when I couldn’t save enough to be counted. At that time, my heart ached like it would break.

There was nothing more I could say here.

Even if you say a thousand words of consolation, the dead will not come back to life.

It’s just a matter of waiting for time to work it out. So that’s the part I can’t get my hands on.

Quietly, I hung up the call.
