Chapter 96 – [Raccoon Man Beginning]

Baekri appeared on the evening news. No, not Raccoon Man, Baek-ri with a bare face.

Not only Baekri, but also Ruri came out together. Looking at the news, it was news that the two of them fought hard to protect the citizens from the attack of Wonjong, who appeared in the Han River after going to play, and eventually won.

Thanks to that, the Seoul City Hall is supposed to give a brave citizen award… Thinking about that, it will be easier for Ruri to get into college or get a job.

In fact, there are not many noticeable benefits, but the fact that you received it is a great merit. It would be much nicer to go somewhere and say that you won an award at City Hall.

“What happened?”

“They hit. Han Kang, brother and sister, and a monster?”

“When is it a catchphrase?”

“To be honest, it’s been a while since I’ve seen a movie. But that’s no joke about its size.”

I saw the original frog-like corpse on the news. Even the weight is in tons… No, but maybe it’s because I’m in the food service industry, I thought it was going to come out like frog hind legs.

Frogs don’t have much to eat. I couldn’t eat the head, and most of the intestines, so I couldn’t eat the body either. At least the legs are chewy, so it tastes like chicken, so it’s quite a delicacy.

However, the size was small compared to the taste, so it tasted tantalizing. If it’s that size, you can eat a lot even if you take off one leg and grill it.

Hey, what kind of legs are bigger than my body. Can’t we really just eat one? Frogs are pretty sweet.

“Is the store okay?”

“What, tomorrow?”

“That might cause quite a stir.”

“That’s true, but that’s because Baek-ri is suffering, not me.”

Of course, it won’t be without impact, but it’s better than being directly involved.

And now I’d better tell you to feel what it’s like to be a hero. There are not many opportunities to feel the superiority of such a sweet feeling than I thought.

In some ways, that kind of expectation is worse than malice… But it’s better because I’ll be able to enjoy it now. Just let it go. What?

“Why do you come out when the kids go out to play like that?”

“…There is one thing I suspect.”

“What?”

“Didn’t you destroy the Atlas Korean branch’s secret laboratory the other day?”

“…….Ah”

Some time ago, I destroyed a laboratory of an organization called Atlas. Strictly speaking, I didn’t do it, but I was flooded.

At that time, the Han River was nearby… Even if the original species itself was there, it is unknown what would happen if the bodies and medicines of the test subjects there were spread into the river.

You’ll have to do a little research, but pure chance is rare in the world. There is a causal rate in everything.

I destroyed the lab (因), so whether it was the drug in the flooded lab or the corpse that became fish food, the original species of frogs was created (果). The logic itself fits.

Of course, such a coincidence is unlikely to happen, but…

“There is no such thing as destiny in this world”

In particular, I am interested in that destiny both professionally and personally. That’s why you should be suspicious of things that others would dismiss as coincidences.

As an example… At the time of the last abduction, how likely was it that Shion would be kidnapped out of so many girls?

Of course, Shion’s appearance is amazing, but what do you think is the possibility that he will pass by and find and kidnap Shion? If you think about all the possibilities and consider them, it is extremely low.

It is fate that makes such coincidences happen.

“I’ll have to talk to Baekri tomorrow.”

It seems like we have a lot to talk about.

*        *    *

Baekri went to work normally the next day. He just looked a little tired.

“Are you okay? Can I not rest today? I normally miss it, but can I rest today?”

“It’s just that I’m a little weak because I used a lot of force. My body itself is healthy, so it’s okay. I also got a checkup.”

“Okay?”

I put my hand on Baekri’s shoulder and injected Gaia Force into it. Hmm… I don’t know how much force I should give because there aren’t many Force users I know, but I poured about twice the amount of Force that Baekri usually has.

“100 million?!”

“Are you fully charged?”

“I’ve been thinking about this for a long time, but hyung has big hands. He wears clothes and tidies things up.”

“Be good at capturing it. This is what remains anyway.”

“I’m very envious of Infinity Force Cores or whatever. If I collect six of them, I think I can erase half of the world with a snap of my fingers.”

“There aren’t many people who have risen to the level of collecting six.

All human beings have five desires and seven emotions. Because there is desire, it is bound to be weak and shaken by pleasure.

The Covetous Infinite Qigong, which is the foundation of the Infinity Force Core, stimulates human desire as much as its fraudulent effect. That is why, if ordinary people learn and go astray, catastrophes that are difficult to count occur.

Even a guy without talent is likely to ruin the world if he learns, so I said it all.

“It’s because even a guy like me learned it because it’s from the Choi family.”

“…? Uh, I’m sorry to say this, but weren’t you from my brother’s facility? Did you have any relatives?”

“Not in that, but in a spiritual sense”

There are 3 families that are famous all over the world.

The Ornn Ryu family, where all family members are so transcendent.

A family of storytellers who are the owners of the castle called the Akashic Records and collect knowledge.

And the Choi family to which I belong.

“It’s not just because you’re Korean, so you’re recognized as a family because you’re passed down through bloodlines.”

“Isn’t that just a form?”

“In our family, each individual is different. Each has different talents and different personalities. At least, there are many cases where each member does not even know that they belong to a family.”

However, it can be called a family because it has its own characteristics.

“Our Choi family is altruistic even if they die.

“How is it? People are self-centered no matter how big or small they are? Can a person who values ​​the lives of others more than his own be passed on in the family line? Or is it just a coincidence?”

Baekri is right.

Everyone lives for himself. People who contribute to society or make donations also do it after they eat and live. People who help others when they have nothing to eat right now can’t be that common.

However, the personality of our Choi family was well known to organizations or transcendentalists who move in dimension. In particular, it produced famous transcendentalists including myself.

“It’s just that that altruistic personality is different depending on who and what kind of people it is for. For example, I can tear out a heart alive for Shion. I’ve done that before. Oh, I didn’t die then.”

“No, how could he…Ah, he said he was a reincarnated person?”

“My other relative is a great hero who tries to save everyone. The other is a guy who has no powers and rushes in front of a 20-ton truck to save a child he has never seen before.”

One became one of the greatest heroes and transcendentalists, and the other became a famous wizard enough to create a school.

I go in there too. Even looking like this, there are not many Transcendentalists with two abilities.

“There are only good things. Should I be born with bloodlines like in ninja manga?”

“It’s not like that”

Despite these characteristics, the reason why there are not so many people is that the family members are all short-lived.

Due to an accident or being caught up in an incident, the life of the Choi family is short-lived for various reasons. However, if you overcome such incidents, you will succeed.
With such a jinx, the surviving members of the Choi family have no choice but to do something.

“Even though each of us has a different target, we are basically altruistic, so we never give in to martial arts or magic that affect the mind, such as greed and infinite qigong. That’s why even a guy like me can learn it. Otherwise, some idiot kills people. Can you tell me about that?”

“As expected, bloodlines are the best. Ayy, next time I’m born, I’ll have to be born with eyes too.”

“If you’re not like me, don’t expect the next one. Just live your life right now”

While chatting about this and that, Baekri suddenly made an expression as if he had something to ask.

Maybe it was because of yesterday. Is it an Atlas problem? If not…..

“Brother, I have to ask you something.”

“What?”

“Have you ever told Ruri something about transcendental beings?”

“…Ah, is it because Ruri knows that?”

“Did you tell me?”

“No, I didn’t say anything to Ruri. Shion would be the same.”

If Ruri understands the concept of being a transcendent, it is only because of the idiosyncrasies of her child.

She hasn’t had much trouble so far, but she’s starting to wake up.

“Yesterday, when I caught the original species of frog, Ruri said something like, ‘If you’re not a transcendental person, no matter how much you regenerate, you just have to kill your brain.'”

“That’s right. The brain is the part that manages memories, so no matter how regenerative it is, if the brain is attacked, it’s much more fatal.”

Those with high-level regenerative powers can regenerate in seconds and not die even if their heart is ripped out.

Those guys are hard to kill. The concept of regeneration is also different, so the method of killing is different.

However, if you are not a transcendentalist, most of them will end if you shave your head. Not biologically, but humanly.

Think about it, usually everyone dies when their heads are blown off, but if they are fine after being regenerated, is that a monster or a person?

“Memory is the most important thing for humans. If you are not a transcendental person, there is no guarantee that the information stored in your brain will be reproduced at the same time, even if it is reproduced when the brain is attacked. Considering that, Ruri’s choice was correct.”

“Is something different about transcendental people?”

“The way we store memories is different. I’m the closest example.”

The human brain can hold more memories than you think. However, that is only in the case of 1 or 2 hundred years.

I have lived for thousands of years as a reincarnated person. Do you really think that all these memories will be stored in the brain and there will be no oblivion?

If that was the case, it would be normal for all my old memories to be gone.

And if you store it in your brain, it’s only natural that all your memories will be gone the moment you reincarnate.

If so, where do I store my memories… That’s a simple matter. Even in reincarnation, there is always one thing.

My soul.

Transcendentalists store memories in the soul, not the body.

“The soul is a vessel that contains the crystallized spirit. It’s not that there aren’t people who don’t have souls, but most of them are. Can keep”

“That’s why Ruri said that if you’re not a transcendental person, you just have to attack his head.”

“Okay”

“But… The most important issue is something else. How does Ruri know that? And why doesn’t he even remember that he said that?”

That’s the real issue. How and why did Ruri know that?

And why can’t I remember that?

To tell that story, you have to tell a slightly different story.

The story of the guys I hate.

“Baekri, do you believe in the existence of God?”

“Oh, I’m not interested. Go away.”

“Who is not a pseudo! This baby!”

“Billion billion?!”

I hate God and religion too much, you bastard!
