Chapter 1844 – [Presidential Candidate Symbol Number 1]

No matter how much you stop it, time passes. If the Lord decides, he can twist the dimensional time axis and create an incredibly extreme time axis, but regardless of that, he cannot stop time because it ultimately flows.

What can I say… No matter how much you build a dam, you can’t stop it because the water still flows. If it turns upside down, that’s the problem, and if you block it, it becomes stagnant water and rots.

No, stagnant, rotten water is enough in game world terms, but in time world terms, it’s a terrible sound.

Anyway, as time passed and people began to think that former Minister of Environment Kwon Joong-seok, who was acting president, was the president, the issue of the presidential election and various other stories began to surface.

Of course, at other times, I looked at the next presidential candidates and thought, ‘Who will be the less successful ones this time?’ But this time was different. I am running for president because of the request of Minister Kwon Jung-seok, or rather, acting president or something like that.

“The evil one is… The president?”

“Scoop!!! It’s a scoop!!!! Hey!!!! Get ready to pile in here for a while!!!!!!”

The area in front of our house has long been a den for reporters looking for scoops. Of course, if I were to set up a tent and think about sleeping, I would get angry and come out to patrol at the nearby police station, but there was no problem with just standing there, so I couldn’t touch it.

So, when they think they might have a scoop, most media companies just wait for me as if they were working shifts. Because if you get something, it becomes an article.

No, use that spirit in a country at war. Is there such a thing as a war reporter for no reason?

That aside, after the rumor spread, I came out of the house and the reporters asked me questions passionately but quietly. Actually, the reason I’m quiet is that I sent all the noisy kids to the hospital.

“My Lord, there is talk that you are running as a candidate in the next presidential election. What do you think?”

“For now, I will run as a candidate.”

“Well, then are you really aiming to become president?”

“I don’t really have any thoughts on being president. To be honest, I would have done it a long time ago, but in the current situation, I am just participating to solve various problems.”

“What is the problem?”

“I will have no comment. I can only assure you that it is a diplomatic matter.”

“If you are running as a presidential candidate, what are your pledges? I would like to hear them in advance.”

“It’s still stable.”

“Yes?”

What, why, what. Is this your first time seeing someone who is stable about his pledges even while running for president? Ah, this must be my first time seeing it.

I’ll put it up when the election campaign starts, but it’s not there right now. Now that I think about it, I have to think about it and what would be best. Just like other politicians or candidates, ‘I will implement policies for the common people!!!’ I don’t want to talk bullshit.

It’s a terrible thing to campaign while saying things you don’t mean. It’s even more shitty if you get elected with that. So, if I were to run an election campaign, the pledge I would make would be…

“Judiciary reform, introduction of AI judges, eradication of military bribery corruption, restoration of the death penalty.”

“Oh my god!!!!!”

“How many problems can there be that would turn the country upside down just by one… It’s such a stupid idea.”

“Really?”

“So let’s do it right now.”

“Am I the AI ​​judge who will be there? It seems like fun. Ah, if you think about it, it might be possible to collect facts and evidence of crimes with [Earth’s Bookshelf].”

“Because ordinary people can never avoid the eyes of the Earth… At best, they can only go to Eden or Kether.”

“[Earth’s Bookshelf] Can only be used to view it. It cannot be hacked, so in fact, only people with permission to modify Gaia records can do so.”

Even I cannot view or edit Gaia records. All I can do is destroy the entire Gaia Record server called Earth so that no one can find out.

Therefore, the public can never avoid the eyes of [Earth’s Bookshelf], Which collects, organizes, and derives information by reading Gaia records. When a crime occurs, everything from the circumstances of the incident to evidence and traces can be found. Even if he smuggles himself abroad, undergoes plastic surgery, and launders his identity, he is still the same person and can be caught.

“I think the introduction of [Earth’s Bookshelf] Into the judicial system would be quite good.”

“I think the work of police and civil servants could be reduced.”

“I will create a program that can manage the administrative part comfortably. Oh, it would also be good to create a website where [Earth’s Bookshelf] Can be used by the public.”

“Uh, I don’t know about public officials, but even the public? I’m worried that they might misuse it.”

“You can filter it to some extent. It would be good if used well, but there are many areas that could be used, such as finding missing people or separated families.”

“That’s right.”

Missing person? Do you remember how Eden once went to cooperate with a disappearance case at the request of the Cheonmu Association and found out where the missing child was and why she was kidnapped? It’s all thanks to Gaia Records, and [Earth’s Bookshelf], Which uses it, is amazing.

Although limited to Earth, the blessing of omniscience enriches life. There may be many people who try to abuse it, but that’s all we can filter out, and we don’t have to worry about being robbed or taken over physically or physically.

Anyway, the news that I was running for the next presidential election quickly spread. Because it was a world like this and there were people who expected it, it felt even more so because they spread it around.

-Have you heard that the evil spirit is coming out for this presidential election?

-Kkkk Let the National Assembly!!!!

-No haha ​​why is this real haha

-Aren’t you interested in evil politics?

– Since we are in the midst of chaos, I think I posted a nomination to cover it up. These days, the store is closed, and the president is acting as a security guard.

-I would rather have Eden become president.

-I’m not old enough to be snowy.

-Uh? I thought it might be bad, but surprisingly it was over 40. You’ll be 50 the day after tomorrow?

-He looks really young because he’s a talented person.

-But is it okay to kill someone and run for president? If you’re caught in a murder case, don’t you usually resign as a candidate?

-Ah haha ​​anyway, I have no criminal record haha

-If you can catch it, why not catch it haha

-But what happens if Emperor Hung really gets elected?

-This is going to be a lot of fun haha

-Honestly, I’m curious. If the evil emperor becomes president, will he become like Cheonma?

-Ilwolshinguk is a good country except that they torture and kill people who commit crimes.

-And the Cheonma is pretty.

-Oh, so in the future, when you hold a national event, you’ll see the faces of Eden’s Nuna and the evil emperor’s family?

-It would be fun to watch the news.

-I will elect a bad emperor in this presidential election.

-ㄴ222222

Hey, I’ll make a good choice. What was the voter turnout in the last presidential election?

Well, it’s still better than the last election. The current situation is that we are electing the next president in a situation where all the politicians who were like the heads of Korea are dead, and the voter turnout will increase somewhat due to the backlash.

And time passes quickly. I spent time preparing for the presidential election and provided security for the President’s representative. As the election season arrived, I made all preparations and submitted the necessary documents to the election committee.

No, when I actually tried to do it, there were a lot of things. The candidate registration application form is basic, and you can only apply after preparing and submitting fifteen documents, including a letter of recommendation, a letter of consent, and a certificate of family relationship. They will probably review and approve it.

Normally, I would be eliminated during the review process. Although I may not have a criminal record, there is no one in the Republic of Korea who does not know that I am a person who beats and kills people, so that would be grounds for disqualification, but due to the current situation in Korea as well as the acting president, it was passed, and I became an official presidential candidate.

“No. 1, my dad!!!!!!”

“It belongs to the ruling party, so if we do well, it will be number 3.”

“The symbol numbers are assigned according to the number of seats, but now they are all dead. The ruling party and the opposition party are not all dead, so there may be people running for office in that party, but the number of seats is zero for all of them, so I think there is a possibility that my father will be number 1.”〈 Br〉

“Huh?”

And as Eden expected, I became number 1.

Since the members of the National Assembly are all dead, it is impossible to judge them based on the number of seats they hold. However, judging them based on the number of seats they had before their deaths brings criticism from elsewhere. Because position number 1 is a good position that can remain in people’s memories.

So they said they were selected on a first-come, first-served basis. However, there was a bit of suspicion, and I felt like they made me number 1 to avoid unnecessary problems. In the current situation where everyone is equally dead, if someone is chosen as number 1, they will be tackled, but if I am number 1, they won’t be able to say anything out of fear.

Well, I don’t want to make a profit like this.

“Let’s create an election camp first. Since we have someone prepared, let’s use this one.”

“What kind of cooking program is this where you casually take out ingredients from the refrigerator, saying you’re going to use pre-made ingredients today?”

“For your information, the part-time job for the election campaign is in charge of Korma.”

“I looked into it and heard that there is a set daily wage? After all, I am only one person, so you only need to give it to one person.”

“Wow!!!!! Korma’s mom’s cheat key!!!!!”

“No, is that okay?!?! Huh?! Is that okay?!?!?!”

Election campaigns have a limited amount of money they can spend to ensure fair elections. It’s probably roughly 1,000 won times the number of Koreans.

It’s a good system. This is because it can prevent problems between candidates that arise due to excessive competition in elections based on money or differences in economic power. Of course, I plan to keep it.

But apart from that, I don’t think it’s a good idea to slap on labor costs. In the case of part-time work for election campaigns, the daily wage is fixed, so they have no choice but to pay the same amount, but even though Korma has an alter ego, he is actually one person, so he is treated as one person.

Why is it that when you campaign for an election, there are people who get on trucks or something and make noise while promoting it? Even if there are three or four people, 100,000 won per day is 400,000 won. If there are several cars, the amount spent per day is quite large, but Korma actually receives a daily wage for one person, so it is a cheat to save on labor costs.

When other people spend hundreds or even thousands of won a day, what would it be like to spend 100,000 won on your own?

“If you ask me to do it, you’ll ask me to campaign for you. I won’t do it except for Your Majesty. I also have Korean nationality, so you can’t say anything.”

“Now that I think about it, Korma’s mother was Korean!!!!!”

“I’m so glad I made it.”

Election camps began to form quickly. Zion applied, but in fact, there were no worries about manpower or personnel issues. However, while I was making it, something felt empty, and I was worried… So I secretly contacted one person separately.

The call tone continues once or twice before being answered immediately. And then a familiar voice was heard.

-Mister?

“Ah, yes, Jihee. It’s nothing else… If you watched the news, you heard that he was running for president, right?”

-Yes, but what’s going on?

“Are you interested in working as his secretary? I think I’ll be doing this for a long time since the store is closed, but it’s a bit too much to just let him have some paid vacation time.”

-All right!!!! I will!!!! Can I go now?!?!

“Uh… Yeah. I’ll have to study secretarial work, but it won’t be such a bad thing.”

He calls Ji-hee, who was playing while taking a break from the store, and gives her some work to do. Actually, I gave her paid vacation, but I don’t think it’s a good idea to call her, but considering Jihee’s personality, I think she’d rather have her by her side than leave her alone.

In response, Jihee became my exclusive secretary. I still don’t have enough experience, but if I learn, there won’t be any problems, and Jihee herself is a smart kid, so it’s okay.

“Jihee postponed college, so she will become the president’s chief of staff.”

“No, you weren’t even elected, so what kind of chief secretary are you?”

“There will be existing personnel, so why not start from the bottom? It’s a parachute!!!!”

Jihee didn’t even go to college because she worked at our store. I lived as if I was being abused by my parents, telling me to study hard and do well on the college entrance exam, but in the end, I didn’t even go to college.

I’ve told you to go several times, but if you don’t like it, you have no choice but to follow your opinion. So, you should feel some responsibility and help. Because it wouldn’t be a bad idea to add another line to your career outside our store.

What if I get elected? Uh, well. First, wouldn’t Eden have been brought into the President’s Secretariat as he said? A meteorite hit during the president’s speech probably killed quite a few people in the secretary’s office, so supplementing staff would probably be welcome.

“Anyway, it’s just the beginning. There are about six candidates, so I wonder what will happen.”

“Isn’t six less than usual? I’ve seen more than ten or so.”

“Because the situation was so bad, those who didn’t want to suffer were left out. And since all the existing people in power had died, they were choosing from among those who remained to run for president…”

“Ah.”

“Actually, there are quite a lot of people just because there are six. In addition, once you filter them out, they will all be talented people, so you will have to work hard to get elected.”

“I don’t plan on doing anything pretentious after working hard, so I should just say what I think and leave it to the people. But are they really going to elect a murderer as president?”

“Isn’t there a Heavenly Demon?”

“Cheonma is like a dictator who just ascended to the throne rather than vote. I am different.”

“I am worried about when you will be able to correct the error of self-objectification that arises from your self-hatred.”

“Did I say something strange?”

It is a problem for a murderer to become a presidential candidate, but it is also a problem for him to get elected after becoming a candidate.

No, it’s obvious that he beat up and killed people, but there are idiots who deliberately pick people like that? No matter how much Koreans don’t care about voting, I don’t think they’re that crazy about it.

“Huh?”

“I think I’ve finally come to grips with it.”

… What the fuck. Why do I suddenly feel ominous?

Destiny old maid!!!!! Could it be that you touched me not only when the incident occurred, but also this time?! Hey, you bitch!!!!!!!
