Chapter 2150 – [I Want to Hit the President]

I immediately got out of the water with the drowned body. Because it is under a coastal cliff, it is not easy to come down, and if you fall from above, you will not be able to come up and will likely die.

If they had tied a stone to their feet and had them drowned, of course they would have died.

The purpose was not to simply abandon the body. Judging by the traces of struggle left on the corpse, it appears that the body was not abandoned, but the living person was buried. In short, it is clearly a murder case.

I immediately contacted Eve. If it is not just a simple crime but a murder case, it is best to leave it to Eve.

“Uh, Eve? I’m sorry, but are you okay now?”

-What’s going on, father? They must be filming right now.

“Nothing else, I just found a corpse while fishing on the island.”

-Uh… Is this a death incident?

“No, a murder case.”

-We will investigate and confirm right away.

“Yes, please.”

[Earth’s Bookshelf] Determines my location and reveals the victim’s identity and cause of death based on corpses near me.

The process was quick and was resolved in just a few seconds. But the situation…

-The victim in question is Kang Jeong-ho, 43 years old. However, I have an intellectual disability… I looked into it and this is it.

“I think I know roughly what it is, but can you tell me clearly?”

-This is the island slavery incident.

“I knew that would happen.”

A closed environment like an island, and an intellectually disabled person who finds it difficult to do anything. Even the unpleasant feeling I was feeling. All estimates are provided.

They were using the victims as island slaves. There are at most a few hundred residents on this small island. They may not all be instigators or culprits, but at least all of them were clearly accomplices or bystanders.

“But if they were island slaves, they would have forced them to do labor, so why did they kill them all of a sudden? Apparently, there were no traces of them other than drowning, so there would have been no particular reason to kill them.”

-The reason is my visit due to my father filming a broadcast.

“… Me?”

-On that island, Mr. Kang Jeong-ho worked as an island slave for over a dozen years, receiving inhumane treatment. However, as my father came to visit this time, I knew that they would be screwed if they were caught, so I killed them and silenced them.

“Wow…”

-And not only that.

“There’s more here?”

-They abused resuscitation insurance.

“…?”

In short, this is what Eve said.

When I came, there was a need to stop the island slave Kang Jeong-ho’s mouth by making the people who blatantly fucked up human rights by calling them island slaves go crazy. Of course, that’s the level of evil of an ordinary human being.

Of course, that alone is enough to warrant being treated like human trash, but the story hidden there is something that even Satan, who works at Gilhyun’s, would say, ‘This isn’t even in our hell.’

– After looking into it, I found out that Mr. Kang Jeong-ho died due to an accident due to his slipping not long before his father visited. I was also able to find related administrative documents.

“You even reported it? What does that mean?”

-My father said he would kill someone because he was scared, but any citizen of the Republic of Korea can enjoy the benefits of resuscitation insurance. However, in the case of murder, there will of course be a police investigation and appropriate punishment, so you cannot report it as a murder, and disappearances are investigated, so if you really want to silence them with death, you should have treated it as a suicide.

It can be revived with resuscitation insurance, but there are some exceptions.

First, natural death. This doesn’t need to be said at length, it’s obvious, so I won’t dwell on it. And the second is suicide. Since people should at least have the freedom to die, if they choose to die on their own, the truth is identified, and they are not revived.

If he wanted to completely destroy the evidence, he would have treated it as suicide and ended it by killing him completely. However, there was a reason why they handled the matter by intentionally reporting the murder as an accidental death despite the damage.

-Then wouldn’t it be possible to revive your father after he returns after the broadcast? In the end, it was determined that he died in an accident.

“Fuck my god!!!!! You’re planning to kill me because you’re afraid of getting caught, and then bring me back to life and make me an island slave?!?! Is this a human bastard?!?!?!”

-I also realized once again that human malice has no end.

He threw away his conscience and deceived Eve, who was providing resuscitation insurance. This isn’t just an island slave issue, it seems like a lot of people are involved.

Did the people on this island really not know about the existence of island slaves? And did the police and public officials really not know?

Not at all. Rather, they would have stuck together.

“I’ll just take care of it here and then go back. Take care of everything you need, like evidence, legal procedures, and actions.”

-I heard that most of the population there is older… Well, I don’t mind if the sentences are long. If you die while in prison, you will not be able to be reincarnated and will suffer.

“Before I fall behind, I have to force them to do the forced labor they love so much. Send them to a really hard place in prison.”

-Don’t worry.

I returned the fish I caught to the sea. The only thing to feed those bastards is prison jjambap. What kind of fish is this?

And only the body of Mr. Kang Jeong-ho is taken with them. It seems that the soul is not yet aware of it, but with resuscitation insurance, if the body remains, the soul will appear near the body, and if not, the soul will appear near the place of death, so you had to think about taking it first and resuscitating it later.

When I returned to the village, I found Producer Kim Jeong-jun returning. He greeted me with a smile, but his complexion hardened when he saw the swollen drowned body I had brought with him.

“Oh, Mr. President? What about that body…?”

“Are all the villagers gathered?”

“Yes, yes, that’s right. First, I’m filling up my quota through a separate program… But what’s going on?”

“I think the ratings for this broadcast will explode because of the negative implications. There will be a lot of noise, but for now, just keep the camera rolling.”

“… I understand.”

Since he worked in the broadcasting industry, he was quick-witted and immediately grasped the situation. I don’t know the details, but I think it’s not a good thing, and it’s a matter for which I will act as a criminal, so I secretly give instructions to the filming staff.

The village hall where most of the islanders gathered was quite noisy… The time had come to make their atrocities known. It’s just a bit of a shame that because it’s not a live broadcast, their pretentious, bare faces can’t be revealed in real time.

I broke down the village hall door and stormed in. Kwaaaaang!!! The door broke with a loud sound, and the fragments flew everywhere, and the village residents, who were in a good mood, were startled and screamed.

“Ugh?!?!”

“Surprise!!! What on earth is this?”

“Oh, Mr. President?”

And the people who saw me near the entrance knew something was wrong when they saw my ferocious posture. On the other hand, there were some people who reacted quite a bit, such as their complexions hardening when they saw the body I brought.

Eve would be able to research it anyway and figure out which bastard was like that later, but she remembered the face. So, your trash that doesn’t even look like a human being?

“You bastards, look what I found while I was swimming in the sea and catching fish for you.”

“Uh…”

“You may not recognize him because he drowned and bloated, but it seems like there are a few people who recognize him. This is Kang Jeong-ho, whom you used as an island slave.”

There are some people who only react when they hear their name. They are probably more like bystanders.

The reporters who were filming the village residents’ friendly event were surprised that they had received a call from PD Kim Jeong-jun, but they were not embarrassed and were filming me. If it goes on air in the future, Kang Jeong-ho’s body will be mosaiced, but at least the faces of the island residents will not be mosaiced.

Infringement of portrait rights? Criminals don’t have anything like that. For you, the only thing that matters is how heavy the weight of your sin is. Is there anyone who can be found not guilty? At least there are children who don’t know anything.

“I don’t know what kind of person you are, but because you were stabbed by me for coming, you hung Kang Jeong-ho with a stone and threw him into the sea and drowned him? If you really only wanted to destroy the evidence, you would have treated him as a suicide and made him a dead person so that he could not be revived, and you would have kept his mouth shut. It could have been possible… But when I looked at it, it was said that Kang Jeong-ho died in an accident. What do you think about that?”

“Uh…”

“Oh, President. Calm down…”

“Even those who are not directly involved are all the same. There is no way they wouldn’t know about the island slavery on this small island. Considering how quiet it has been so far, they must have complied with it and exploited it.”

“No!!! No, President!!!!!”‘

“Oh, no? Then that’s enough. Should I make up a crime that wasn’t there and then punish them? Instead, I’m going to use the [Earth’s Bookshelf] To punish you for each crime you committed, so you can do it yourself?”

“Well, that’s…!!!!!”

“Ah!!!! Just in case, I’ll have to take care of it in advance. Just wait!!!!”

One of the reasons for exception to resuscitation insurance is suicide. If someone commits suicide because they don’t want to be punished or are afraid, we can’t do anything about it. At the very least, if I were to be sentenced before that, I would have to wait and see if I could escape from this world and avoid punishment even if I chose to commit suicide.

I can’t fucking see that. I called Eve and immediately connected her to take care of the administration.

Even though it was a homicide, it was administratively treated as an accidental death through disappearance, so if their treatment also takes precedence administratively, it is useless no matter what they do. The best we can do is appeal and be damned… But since it’s a case like this, that’s not possible.

-Hello, as you probably know, my name is Eve. Rather than anything else, we would like to inform you that you have all been selected as witnesses for the murder case of Mr. Kang Jeong-ho.

“Yes?”

-It’s no big deal. The government is simply securing your identity until you testify as a witness. Don’t worry, if you are not guilty, not only will you be acquitted, but the government will also compensate you for the damage.

Of course, if you are innocent.

From the point of view of standing by, they are all guilty. The only difference is the nature of the crime.

No matter how harsh the world becomes, even if you help someone who is being sexually assaulted and end up getting sued, you can at least see the scene and report it. Apart from the harm it causes to oneself, it is a matter of conscience.

But even though you knew there were island slaves, you didn’t report it? And that too for over ten years?

Then it is obvious. It is certain that almost all the island’s residents, no matter how big or small, will be punished. Even if you try to reflect, the fact that you did not surrender or report during that time is never allowed to be a reflection.

-Now that you have been selected as a witness, your soul will be redeemed and left on earth even if you die from suicide or natural causes. Don’t worry, we’ll solve it after the incident is over. Of course, if a crime is discovered during administrative processing and must be punished… Well, isn’t that natural?

“Oh, judge!!!! Oh, that’s not what we were originally…”

-What you say from now on may be used against you at the trial. The fact that it wasn’t like that originally means that you acknowledge the absurdity and irrationality of the present, right?

“…”

Eve has been a judge once or twice, but no matter how clever she is, she is not an opponent that the islanders can compete with.

This is the same even if you hire a lawyer from an expensive law firm. Thanks to [The Bookshelf of the Earth] And Eve, if you are a bastard, a fool, and have committed a crime, you will be punished, and any lawyer who takes his side will be treated with disdain, even if he does not give you an outright penalty. In this day and age, is there any lawyer who will take the side of someone who is clearly guilty?

It’s not that there aren’t any, but the surviving lawyers are, at best, divorce lawyers. That part is ambiguous because Eve is in charge.

Anyway, in the end, their punishment became natural. Although we ended up finishing the filming much shorter than the original schedule, PD Kim Jeong-jun didn’t really care.

“It’s a complicated matter. As a broadcasting station producer, this type of material would benefit viewer ratings, but… I can’t be happy when I think of the people who have been harmed.”

“At the time of recognizing it, you are in the top 10 percent. There are many shameless people in the world who ignore their conscience even though they know it. I hope you at least continue to maintain that mindset.”

“Will I ever get used to this?”

“People are creatures of adaptation, whether they like it or not. I will just warn you one thing. If you continue to view this incident as a scoop rather than something tragic, then I will warn you that it will be the day the program ends.”

“… I will keep that in mind.”

Everyone changes. Even if you are a famous program producer now, you never know how things will change later as you get used to it and gain more power.

So you should tell me in advance. At least if you keep that thought in mind, it will at least be postponed until later. Of course, it would be a good thing if he didn’t come at all.

After returning to the mainland, I immediately used my presidential authority to thoroughly investigate the incident. Of course, instead of leaving it to the police there, they dispatched someone from here separately. What kind of nonsense are you trying to get along with? Even if it wasn’t about Eve, there was a lot of related information.

There are still people who bring in intellectually disabled people or people in bad situations and use them as island slaves. Not only the broker, but also the local residents who take it for granted… It’s really shit.

I was about to boil over and go on a rampage, but Shion stopped me. I could barely breathe and calm down.

“I want to tear them all to death.”

“If you don’t do it legally, people will complain, so please be patient.”

“If I kill these bastards, won’t I be able to say I killed them well?”

“Even so, I hope Eve can at least save face.”

“Ah, then there’s nothing we can do. Huuu…”

It’s really the lowest line… So, if I’m given a reasonable punishment that I can understand for an incident I saw or experienced, I can accept it and move on.

I’m not saying kill the guy who hit me. If you have committed a mistake, I am convinced that you should receive a commutation of sentence or confinement, and an appropriate punishment should be given. Even if they are the ones that Zion or Eden messed with, if all the people involved are punished with life imprisonment or the death penalty, I would be okay with it. Usually, if you don’t do it, a catastrophe occurs.

“What do you want to do with the broadcast? I have a recording for now.”

“I need to take a separate picture of this administrative process and send it out. If you do something bad, you have to let them know that even if you do it on the island, you will be screwed, so they won’t do it in the future.”

“The important thing is the issue of security. The area nearby is made up of islands, so there is a limit to how many people we can supplement.”

“Well, I wasn’t planning on doing it, but I need to set up a portal facility there. First, I’ll have to fire all the relevant officials and recruit more.”

“We will increase the number of civil servant positions.”

Why do we hire public servants who are so obsessed with island slaves that they can’t even report or report anything? There is no need to have those guys with you.

And rumors spread about this broadcast. It’s not just about what kind of broadcast it is, it’s about making noise because of the unpleasant things that happened there.

“Oh, it will be interesting to see what the repercussions will be.”

“Dad, I want to kill Gyeongbang, Nabal, and all the bastards on that island.”

And then the weekend comes and the broadcast I filmed on the island comes out. Since cooking is not the main focus this time, various items are skipped over to fill the length, and the first part of the second part of the broadcast concludes with the final look at Kang Jeong-ho’s body.

Naturally, this was a broadcast about provocative topics such as spicy, salty, and sweet dishes. I can’t tackle it because it was a broadcast I appeared on. Normally, I would have been warned to restrain myself.

And the public’s reaction was that hot. I was just watching a video of my cooking and ended up seeing human malice.

“Oh, the response is hot?”

“Okay then.”

The more people react, the lower the treatment of human waste.

I can’t commit suicide anymore, so what am I going to do?… Well, you should suffer as much as the people who suffered from island slavery.
