Chapter 256 – [The Last Days of China]

The fact that the worst was moving from the detention center to the Capitol where the hearing was being held was all over the news.

As for other investigations, the hearing is for information purposes. That’s why most hearings are conducted openly and live, and the worst investigative hearings are no different.

It is nominally a hearing on what happened in China, but the purpose is different. The worst power, and Shion’s technological power. Somehow, there are various political purposes to get those two things.

Because you killed a person, you will be sentenced to imprisonment according to the punishment after the trial. The Republic of Korea has long since abolished the death penalty, so even if the death penalty is not imposed (aside from what can be done), life imprisonment will be imposed.

But then I can’t even write her worst and Shion can’t even reach out to her, just apologizing.

The power to win by destroying a country and the technology of an alien world are so desperate that a hand comes out of your throat. Just looking at the Horizon floating in the sky right now, it is clear that anti-gravity technology was included, but even with that one, mankind could develop by leaps and bounds.

In the worst case, the punishment of imprisonment is not given. Even if they wished for it, they had no intention of punishing them as they moved for profit.

This hearing was only an event to show the public, with the intention of taking his side and exterminating enemy species in the name of community service under the name of punishment, receiving technology from Zion and using it.

“I’m fine? Is there any crumpled clothes?”

“Yes, yes. The clothes are fine.”

“Really?”

“It’s fine as long as it’s something to wear when you’re rummaging around.”

“…………”

Baekri was also ready to leave on time.

Like Cheongeom Lee Gyeong-jin, he should have gone out much earlier if he was going out for the purpose of escorting or entraining, but Baek-ri is only a reference person.

Since it is a place to attend as a party to prevent the worst in China, we had to pay attention to his outfit and style. It doesn’t mean much when you think about what will happen in the first place.

“Brother, I’m really warning you. Don’t mess with me if you don’t want to die leaving my parents and me alone. You don’t have anger management disorder, so you shouldn’t ever change it.”

“…….Okay”

“What’s that silence? If you’re thinking about searching… Uh, okay. How is your brother’s nature doing that? I’ll tell my dad to just put together a coffin because there won’t be a corpse left at his funeral.”

“No, did you say you knew?”

“Unexpectedly, your actions are ahead of your head. So if it happens right in front of your eyes, you’ll rush to stop it. But you know what? It’s meaningless to do so. What you’re trying to do is, after all, just an ant trying to stop a typhoon.”

“I don’t think it’s that big of a difference…”

“That’s right. The worst man isn’t the weakest among the great demon lords, but he’s not the strongest either, so how do you beat five people in a game where no one can win? Rather than winning against someone stronger than your brother, it’s all you can do.”

“Hmm…….”

“It’s obvious even if you don’t look at how it will go. Then I’ll have to prepare too.”

“What are you ready for?”

“Prepare to move to Mars. When the time comes, Dad and Mom will forcibly drag Xion sister’s spacecraft to jump, so oppa, if you don’t have parents at home, come on your own.”

Bailey sighed. He just feels confused about how to handle things.

People sometimes run away without looking directly at things if they are not right in front of their eyes. An example can be cited in Japan of the Fukushima power plant incident, which occurred mainly about 10 years ago.

Ignoring the radioactive leak, I just stood by and the result came to this point. Like the butterfly effect. I don’t think you can compare the explosion of a nuclear power plant with the flapping of wings of a butterfly, but considering what will happen in the future, it is even bigger than a typhoon.

“Couldn’t we contact Japan right now to apologize and end it?”

At Baek-ri’s words, Ruri took out her cell phone and played the recorded call as if she knew it.

[Are you Mr. Haruri?]

[Who are you?]

[Yes, Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan…]

[Ah, I think I know what you’re talking about. But in case you don’t know, please get rid of the rubbish and tell me the main story]

[…I understand that the situation is quite difficult, but the Japanese government is willing to accept negotiations at any time]

[What negotiation?]

[You must be preparing for university entrance, but if the incident continues like this and the world’s attention is focused, won’t it be a hindrance? If you arrange negotiations with Mr. Choi, we can finish this case smoothly.]

[Yeah, my mother was hacked in Hiroshima~, the people who were born there are not the baby boom generation, but the new clear boom generation!!!]

[…….?!]

And the call was disconnected. Ruri immediately hung up the phone.

Baekri was well aware of what the conversation meant. The opponent has no self-awareness that he was wrong in the first place, and is full of thoughts of taking advantage of the incident.

“Why is it that I have never heard of someone who has kept his faith because he is so cunning, but that is true.

“It’s ruined. You’ve seen the whole ball field enough to blow a pad lip.”

“By the way, this is number 1. There is also number 2, would you like to hear it?”

“Done”

Ruri is crazy, not rude. She keeps what to keep and behaves with sufficient demeanor where respect is to be shown.

Even if she blows all kinds of drips well, Ruri, who refrained from hitting pad-rips, means that Ruri was very angry or said bullshit that she couldn’t compete with. Of course, this time both.

“If it wasn’t for the old man, I might have accepted the deal.

“…Is there any possibility that the Earth will be safe?”

“Earth is safe. I can’t guarantee that humanity will be safe.”

“It’s the worst”

“I guess that’s what your name is.”

The half-desperate Ruri giggled and laughed.

Currently, beyond Korea and Japan, people who know that the survival of mankind is in danger can count on five fingers.

Do you want me to tell you the truth? Let’s think of Galileo Galilei who insisted on the heliocentric theory at the time when the geocentric theory was believed to be orthodox.

To spread knowledge, one must have persuasion and influence, but when the story of the Great Demon King was brought up on Earth, where the concept of a transcendental being was unfamiliar, only people were told that it was a second grader or a fantasy novel.

“I’ll have to buy insurance too. If my brother doesn’t want to die somewhere, I’ll have to use my personal connections as much as possible.”

“Who do you have connections with? Sister-in-law?”

“No matter how much my wife does her job, it’s not a bit of a stretch to say this or that, right? There’s a saying that it’s a case of a belly hair lawsuit, but I don’t rush to judge things where people’s lives are at stake. I also have my own personal connections.”

“Is that…”

Baekri also had a storyheheard from the worst. I just wasn’t sure.

Ruri just smiled faintly.

*        *    *

The worst investigative hearing was an event that focused all the attention of the present world. Not just Korea, but all countries around the world were watching through live broadcasts.

Not only Korean broadcasters, but also reporters from foreign broadcasters filled the seats, shining the lenses of the cameras. Thanks to this, the airlines had an untimely peak season due to numerous reporters, but the events happening now were more important than that.

“Here they come!!!”

Someone shouted. And a special vehicle for entraining force users appeared through a restricted access road.

A separate bodyguard was gathered to block people, but the number of people flocking to it was no joke. What’s more, it wasn’t just reporters who gathered there. It was nothing more than a mayhem, with just onlookers, people who were the worst, people in awe, and so on.

Mixed with people’s screams, cheers, and various voices, a huge, unknown sound echoes. It was such a loud commotion that you wouldn’t even hear it if you weren’t talking up close.

Eventually, the vehicle stopped and other Force users, including Heavenly Sword Lee Kyung-jin, got out first.

Heavenly Sword Lee Gyeong-jin was fully armed. Excluding the sword worn on the waist, there were dozens of swords in a custom-made scabbard on the back.

At any time, the swordsmen who were selected according to his will and released sword dances were in a perfect state to respond to the enemy species, not humans.

Then, the protagonist of this event and incident got out of the car.

At first glance, it seems like a precious guest protected by bodyguards, but the difference is that the guest is filled with dozens of restraints. He could only walk, and the restraints stuffed to the point where he couldn’t even lift a finger would tell him the worst dangers, but honestly, that wasn’t enough.

Considering his own abilities, even if he throws into the Bagua road like Son Oh-gong, it is not enough, and with such restraints, it is only a way to show off.

Still, it was important to show. Because people who didn’t know how to see it were shouting at him.

“Chaeak-ssi! How are you feeling right now?”

“Hey, this baby! Are you a person? !!!

“To Mars! Please take me to Mars!!! Wooaaaaa!!!!”

“Come here! Just say one word! Please! Ugh, don’t push! Don’t push!!!!”

Worst of all, he looked at them and said nothing. They just ignored it and were taken to the hearing room through a separate space.

Many people shout at him. There are people out there who cross the line.

Poop!!!!

“What?!”

“………!!!!”

“Who, who is it?! Who threw it?!”

Someone tossed an egg at the worst head and got it right.

The flash baptism that had been pouring into that figure stopped for an instant, leaving only chilly energy. You don’t know what kind of incident will happen because it was to touch the planting of the monster that took tens of millions of people in China.

Force users who were carrying out the worst were not able to deal with it because they were focusing on the worst, not the surroundings, because their purpose was entrainment, not security.

There was also Lee Kyung-jin, but he didn’t stop it in the first place. Because you already know his personality.

“………”

Worst of all, I just quietly ran my hand over the eggshell and its contents. He is obviously hit by an egg, but he doesn’t seem to mind. He didn’t even wet his hair.

People were surprised by such a sight, but they started to make a fuss again. The uproar of those criticizing him for his previous action had subsided, but the barrage of questions from reporters had intensified.

“Mr. Worst! You said that China threw an aircraft carrier into Tiananmen Square. Did you instigate division in China? Or did you do it for the sake of each region’s independence?”

“In America, please say one word about the disappearance of Dr. Allian!!!!”

“What do you think of the assault on Japanese diplomats by Ha Baek-ri’s younger sister, Haruri?”

“Hey!!!! Me!!! Do you remember me?”

In the voices of the reporters, someone could be heard calling the worst. It was a voice that was in the corner of my memory, so even the worst looked up.

It was reporter Jin Seo-hee who had a relationship in the past and made him take off his mask in China.

Since we know each other and are not strangers, it must have played a part in coming to a place like this. Less than a year has passed yet, but she has solidified her career as a journalist and has faced the worst with her hard face.

“Please say one word, Raccoon Man”

“……..”

As much as possible, I tried not to say anything until the hearing room, so I thought about what to do with the worst. The force users in charge of entrainment stuck to him and pushed him, but he was not pushed back at all.

It was funny, like a mime, to see burly men who were taller than the worst and didn’t move even though they grunted and pushed him.

When the worst saw Lee Kyung-jin, he sighed. It was an unspoken permission.

“Yeah, I’ll just tell you one thing, we’re not strangers. What are you curious about?”

“……..!”

It was the first word that came out of his mouth in silence.

The reporters focused on his words for a moment and kept their mouths shut. Instead, they just pushed the microphone forward while arguing with each other.

She quietly picked out a question. There are many things, but the important thing was right now. It would be better, she decided, to know what she would do rather than what she had done.

“How do you think it will go in terms of the direction of the hearing?”

It’s a pretty reasonable question. But the worst was the unreasonable person.

“Since it’s a hearing, I won’t lie. Instead, I wonder how things will go… Well, it won’t end well.”

“What do you mean by that? It doesn’t end well, no way…”

“End of the word. I’m leaving now”

The worst that really said a word left without regret. Other reporters began bombarding her with questions, but she ignored them as before and headed for the hearing.

Before long, the hearing that focused the eyes of the world begins.

Not even knowing it was the countdown to the end.
