Chapter 1194 – [The Changing World]

Eden, who had a schedule, woke up early in the morning and ate breakfast even though it was vacation. For Eden, the one thing he never misses unless he has his own circumstances is a meal.

There are many menus this morning, but among them, the main one was tomato and egg stir-fry.

“The combination of tomatoes and eggs is strange, but it’s delicious when eaten together.”

“The material is good.”

Most of the ingredients that went into making the tomato and egg stir-fry were from the Garden of Eden. Aside from the tomato, which is a vegetable, eggs were produced by chickens raised in the Garden of Eden, and everything else except for seasoning was almost a Garden of Eden crop.

Thanks to this, the tomato egg stir-fry, which combines the savory taste of the egg with the acidity of the tomato, has become a devilish side dish that goes well with rice.

“Since other people will be gathering, I think I’ll have to decorate it to some extent.”

“Isn’t Eden focusing more on you than on the case?”

“Ah, I’ll be interested in it, but it won’t be like that when I’m briefing on the case. But just in case, I’ll have to sit in the back. Everyone watching me can see it.”

After breakfast, Eden washed up and finished getting ready to go out. A vehicle that would take you to the investigation headquarters was already waiting in front of Eden’s house.

The worst person who sees off Eden on behalf of Shion, who wakes up late because of a lot of sleep in the morning, asked Eden to do various things.

“Don’t go and make an accident. If you see someone flirting with you, call your dad. If you think mom and dad don’t need to step out, talk to the members of the Celestial Mu Association, okay?”

“Ah, I’m not a kid. Don’t worry.”

“You’re a kid. It’s weird if the kid who’s going to be in middle school the day after tomorrow isn’t a kid.”

“My body is all grown up!!!!”

“Your head is smaller”

Even if you don’t do that, from the parent’s point of view, a child is always a child. Even if Eden reaches the transcendental level and lives over a thousand years old, he will only be seen as a child in the worst eyes.

Eden climbed into the car driven by the driver and headed straight to the destination. The place she goes is where the Special Psychic Investigation Headquarters is located, but the agency that was originally active in the dark became active in the sun with the appearance of a person with special abilities.

Similar to the Cheonmu Association, it is a government-affiliated organization, but the inclination of the place that was a government agency from the beginning and the place that was a munpa alliance are different. That’s why the government’s influence was stronger in the Special Spiritual Investigation Headquarters.

Thinking about it, I could see that the main body of this work was the government. As Eden thought about this and that, she arrived at the investigation headquarters.

It smells like a new building that has just been built because it was newly built in a new style as it came out to the sun. Several people who had already arrived in such a building were entering or coming and going.

“You don’t know when it will end, so please rest for now. I’ll call you if necessary.”

“Yes, I see, Lady Eden.”

Eden left her driver behind and entered the building. As soon as she gets out of the car, her attention is focused on her, and as she enters the building, she is in the hallway and gets almost everyone’s attention.

She’s a burdensome sight, but she’s already used to it, and since it’s Eden, who doesn’t particularly care about people’s gazes, she just let it go.

She goes up to the conference room where she received her before long. She must have been in charge of a fairly important case, but there were people blocking her entrance. They were stunned by her Eden’s appearance for a moment, but before long they were faithful to her job and stopped her.

“From here on, no one except those involved is allowed to enter.”

“Ah, I’m a person with special abilities invited by the Celestial Dance Association. Here’s my registration certificate.”

“Wait a minute. I’ll check it. Umm… Yes, it’s confirmed. Please go in.”

“Yes, thank you. Good job then.”

The meeting room was quite large. Among the people who came, there were people with special abilities, and there were also ordinary people, and there were many unknown faces, but it wasn’t that there were no people who knew.

Eden found a familiar face among the people from the Heavenly Mu Association. This is Jin Chul-deok, a clown shaman whom Eden met for the first time during the Yong-jae-do incident, which was similar to the Poveglia Island incident that Eden solved in Italy.

“Oh, hello grandpa!”

“Oh, how have you been? These days, the kids must be on vacation.”

“Yes, so I just came back from an overseas trip yesterday.”

“Eh, tsk tsk. No matter how much it is a country thing, calling a child who needs to play in full swing. If you think about things like this, the old days were better.”

“No. I came because I said I was coming. Where is my house the kind of place where you can move under pressure?”

“Something that knows your nature may have tried to use you to eat you. It’s a world where you open your eyes and cut your nose. Especially Eden, a child like you lives thinking that all men are wolves.”

“Most of the boys around me are puppies. They’re about as big as dogs. I’ve seen a few real wolves… After that, my dad and mom took care of each other, so I don’t know what happened.”

“I’m sure you know”

Time passed and it was time to start slowly. Vice Minister Kim Jae-pil of the Special Psychic Investigation Headquarters, whom they had seen before, stood in front of them.

He confirms that Eden is there and swallows his saliva in a cold sweat. To a stranger, she is a very pretty woman, but he already knows that Eden is the worst daughter of a motherfucker. In addition, her mother is Shion of the Hanon family.

It was a place that attracted prominent personnel, but compared to Eden, it was insignificant. He cleared his throat and regained his thoughts and words.

“Thank you to all of you who have gathered here. There are some people who were invited but did not come, but I will proceed assuming that they were not present.”

Soon, a projector projects a screen in front of them. There was a picture of a child who appeared to be in the lower grades of elementary school, along with simple personal information.

Name, age, school attended, parents, etc… Looking at it, they could see why the majority of people gathered here.

This incident was not a simple case, but a kidnapping and kidnapping case.

“This case is a kidnapping involving a person with special abilities.”

From the very beginning, a fairly heavy story flew by.

*        *    *

Eden did not feel that distance from the innocent child on the screen. The school she attended, the region, and the age were different, but similarly, Eden was often kidnapped or kidnapped.

It’s just that this is modern society, and Eden was safe thanks to the protection of the Utopia organization members and the worst, Zion, who were protecting Eden.

“Five days ago, student Ga-eun Ko, a victim of kidnapping, went missing while leaving school. Until then, it was identified as a disappearance case, but we soon found faint traces through CCTV readings.”

Soon, Deputy Manager Kim Jae-pil turned over the screen and showed a video.

Part of a commute to school somewhere. There was nothing to look at, but soon something strange was wriggling.

Does it refract light? Anyway, because of that, I couldn’t figure out who the opponent was or what kind of person he was.

“As you can see by looking at this, you can see that a person with the ability to become invisible participated in the crime.”

“Can’t you find it by searching for information about people with special abilities?”

“I investigated about it, but it seems that he is an unregistered supernatural power. Most of the invisible supernatural powers registered with the Heavenly Mu Association have alibis or are distant, so it is not a crime.”

“Hmm…….”

A person with the ability to become invisible who lived nearby has an alibi, and a person who lived apart cannot be convicted of a crime because of the distance. In the end, all that was left was that the opponent was a person with unregistered abilities.

It was a problem that would explode someday. Korea is a country where you are born with a number like your resident registration number, but that doesn’t mean that it is not a place where every person is born after registering their birth.

Obviously, there are people with unregistered abilities, and because of that, problems arise. Even in the United States, people with non-registered abilities gathered and formed an organization and rebelled against the intention of the US government.

The reason Korea didn’t do that is because there was an imitation in addition to that trend. It was because I had the mindset that if someone caused a problem, there was a Superman who would come and destroy him in one day, but who would dare to do such a thing.

Of course, it’s not completely absent like it is now.

“Did you hear from the kidnapper?”

On the one hand, the detectives questioned him as a simple crime, not a crime with special abilities.

As it is a kidnapping case, it is important to contact the kidnapper. If you want money, it is a crime for which money is the object, and if you want something else, it is a crime based on that. You have to profile things like that, but that’s an important issue.

“No, not yet.”

“If five days have passed, I will contact you about anything…”

“What is the economic level of the child’s parents? If it is from a wealthy family, it is highly likely that they kidnapped for money.”

“That……..”

If you gave me the information up to here, that’s it.

Eden raised his hand after searching through the Gaia Records and obtaining all the necessary information.

“I think this case is a kidnapping out of resentment.”

It’s not a guess, but it’s a thing to frown on other people’s eyes. However, people who knew Eden, such as Vice Minister Kim Jae-pil and Park Soo-dang Jin Chul-deok, asked the reason for saying that.

“Why do you think so?”

“The name of the invisible person who led the abduction is Kim Yong-soo, but he seems to have a grudge against the child’s parents.”

“Yes?”

“Can you explain each one?”

It can be said that Gaia Records is omniscient in the past and present, and also when it comes to this planet. If applied, even the future can be predicted, but Eden was not at that level yet.

However, by reading the Gaia Records, the mystery of all events in this world can be solved. No one, no criminal can escape the record of the stars.

There are a few exceptions, but there are very few exceptions, such as if the opponent is not native to Earth or the opponent must be a Transcendent. It’s nothing to look at now.

“Name Kim Yong-soo. Age 57. There is a history of the victim’s father raping his daughter in the past. The daughter suffered from depression after the sexual assault incident and committed suicide a few years ago. I was released”

“No, what is that…”

“If you do a separate background check, it will come out right away, so find out first. Shall I give you your social security number?”

“……..All right”

It was credible because it was Eden’s words, not anyone else’s. Vice Minister Kim Jae-pil started investigating the person named Kim Yong-soo based on the personal information Eden gave him.

And the results came out right away. Even if he was pushed back because he had a grudge against the parents of the victim, not out of the line of investigation at all, he was on the line of the dragon, so some investigation information came out right away.

“….They said they’re organizing their business recently. We’ll have to investigate further to find out more, but the situation is suspicious enough.”

At the age of 57, he is entering old age. If you had enough money, it wouldn’t be strange to quit your job early and make plans for your retirement. However, it is very suspicious to do that at a time like this.

It could be a coincidence, but it needs to be investigated. In addition, Vice Minister Kim Jae-pil asked Eden about the most important thing.

“Is the child, is Miss Go Ga-eun all right?”

“Yes, I’m hurt, but I’m fine.”

“Can you tell me where it is?”

“No, wait. What is it now? Are we making folding screens? And no matter how talented you are, can you understand that easily? And how reliable is that story?”

While we were talking, someone else interrupted. A few people who did not know Eden were making dissatisfied faces as they watched the two of them talking.

It was possible that Gaia Records did not have anything visible. Since there was no evidence, it was natural for the people gathered here to be suspicious and frustrated because it was hard to believe it.

“Ah, I know what you mean. But Miss Eden here is a person who is no different from the successor of the deceased Korean best psychic, Mrs. Kim Ryu-hwa. Despite her young age, she is one of the best psychic in Korea.”

“No, that’s why…”

“Moreover, I am also acquainted with Mr. Keter.”

“…………”

At the mention of Keter’s name, I immediately fell silent. This is a testament to the status Keter has in Korea.

Such an acquaintance of Keter cannot be a fraudster, so it adds credibility to Eden’s words. In the first place, the way to read the Gaia Records was taught by Keter.

“Miss Eden, then where is Miss Gogaeun now?”

“I can tell you, but I wonder if this is the right thing to do.”

“Yes?”

Legally, the other party is a kidnapper.

But the world did not return to law alone. If everything was settled by law, there wouldn’t be many conflicts in the world.

“What do you think is the greatest revenge a father can take on someone who has lost his daughter?”

“……Isn’t that why you committed this kidnapping case?”

“Your own daughter was raped and suffered and committed suicide, but if she looks like an old man, can you look at that partner’s daughter and leave her alone?”

“……..”

An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. If the opponent’s daughter died, it wouldn’t be strange to rape and kill the opponent’s daughter as well.

The child is innocent, but this is not a rational problem, but an emotional problem. Because if you want to imprint the heart of a father who lost a child on the other person, you have to use the same method.

“If that was the purpose, the child would be assaulted from the day he was abducted, held his breath, and killed at the end. But far from being injured, the child is in very good condition.”

“…You mean harming children isn’t the goal?”

“Would it be more pity not to see you dead, or would it be more pity not to see you alive?”

“No way…….!!!”

Sudden business arrangements, kidnapping, and an unharmed child. When several conditions come together, one idea comes to mind.

Kidnapper Kim Yong-soo intends to raise his enemy’s daughter with his own hands.

It may seem strange, but revenge is not something that can only be done through violence. If a child dies, you can bury it even in a sunny place, but if you do that, you can tear apart the parents’ hearts.

“The child’s father is guilty, but the child is innocent. It’s a reasonable revenge that only the person responsible is punished.”

“But it’s a crime”

“Isn’t it a crime that Go Ga-eun’s father raped and bribed the judge to receive a suspended sentence?”

“………..”

“This is not a legal issue, but an emotional and moral issue. I’m worried about what to do.”

One of the people listening to him, a detective, stood up and shouted.

“No, then, wouldn’t it be better to first catch and interrogate that Kim Yong-soo!!!! Even if that lady won’t tell you, if you catch the abductor and interrogate her, she’ll do it on her own!!!”

“I won’t talk”

“What?”

I know the culprit, but if you catch it, most of the work is over. There is no room for the opponent to harm the child, and it can go out stronger.

But even a mouse bites a cat when cornered.

“The moment you arrest them, you will know that your revenge has failed. Then, no matter what, I will never tell you the location of the child in order to get revenge.”

“But if you investigate the surroundings…!!!”

“Detective, let me tell you one thing. Humans can only live 3 days without water. Can you find the child within roughly that time without my help or the culprit’s confession? Or it’s all your responsibility.”

“Kuhm……”

The best way to silence your opponent is to point out who is responsible.

As if it is not for nothing that there is a saying to go only in the middle, if it bounces, it will only be dumped. There are people who benefit greatly from doing so, but humans naturally seek stability, so they do not want to take risks.

The culprit knows, but the moment he arrests it, it becomes a race against time.

The easiest thing is for Eden to tell her where the child is, but I don’t feel like telling her how the situation is.

“… Miss Eden, how can you tell me where the child is?”

“Hmm”

Between law and morality, Eden was troubled.

If he was simply a law-abiding good kid, he wouldn’t have to worry about that. All you have to do is tell them the location of the perpetrator and the kidnapped child.

It is thanks to the worst home education that I am worried about this problem. While struggling between law and morality, reason and sensibility, Eden forms his own values.

Eden, who was thinking, said in order to make a choice that he would not regret more.

“I need to meet Go Ga-eun’s parents first.”

In order to solve the problem, I had to put the lead actor on the stage first.
