Chapter 164 – Funeral (2)

The guild [Paradise] Was the largest support guild in the field of Almighty Fragments research. After leaving the funeral hall, Choi Yeon-ju rolled the candy in her mouth and looked over the road through the car window. The S-class hunter’s body vision could observe the movement of flying insects that darted past the side of the road.

A small fly flew against the flow of the road, but was attacked by a larger dragonfly and broke its wing. The dragonfly dismembered the body of the fly in the air and ate the flesh. Choi Yeon-ju was watching him intently.

The laboratory stood in the middle of a mountain valley in a foreign shape. The road that was opened exclusively for this research center boasted a neat exterior that hinted at [Paradise]’S capital and huge government support. Yeonju Choi gracefully stretched her legs out of the parking lot and asked the driver.

“Didn’t we hear from Seoul separately while we were here?”

“Yes.”

She was an S-class hunter who guarded Seoul before she was the sponsor of this Almighty Fragment research. If she had an A-level gate appearing in downtown Seoul, she would have to stop her visit and run straight to Seoul. She said it took 30 minutes the other day, and as soon as she got here, the Class A gate opened and she had to go back.

As she opened the door to her lab and entered, her bespectacled researcher greeted her with a bright smile.

“Welcome. I heard that Hunter Jang Ji-wan passed away.”

“Yes. That’s sad. I received a lot of help from the elderly.”

The researcher wearing glasses smiled slightly and said.

“Who knew. I thought you would lose to Class C and die.”

Yeonju Choi stared at the woman wearing glasses. She looked around the woman, wondering if she had made a mistake, but she avoided Choi Yeon-ju’s gaze. Choi Yeon-ju was a woman as tall as any man, so the woman wearing glasses felt threatened just by her gaze. She asked Choi Yeon-ju.

“Fun?”

“Yes?”

“Isn’t it fun that S-class lost to C-class?”

“No, that…”

“Sitting here, you don’t even enter the gate, the hunters protect you when the gate opens, and if you say you need something, they bring it to you, so it’s just fun, right? No matter what happens outside, it’s just fun that one of the hunters to enter the gate was killed by a terrorist, right?”

“I’m sorry!”

Yeonju Choi gave her researcher a pat on the shoulder and then looked around her, she said.

“How is your research?”

“Yes. Currently, our research alone has some limitations, so we decided to invite a French expert.”

“France?”

“Yes. France was the first place to start research on fragments of the Almighty. That’s why there are many people who study fragments of the Almighty. I tried to contact people from that association from before, but it’s a very closed place… A person who said he would cooperate with the research this time contacted me, and he said he would come to Korea directly.”

“To Korea… So, when is he coming?”

“He said that he had booked a flight that would arrive on the following Wednesday.”

“Could you give me his profile? Maybe we’ll see each other later.”

“Yes. Wait a minute.”

The researcher ran in front of the computer in a hurry and pulled out one from the countless piles of files. Seeing the fluttering thin papers, Yeonju Choi twisted her brows. The researcher handed Choi Yeon-ju a piece of paper.

“Hey, I’m here.”

Yeonju Choi took one look at her researcher and then shifted her gaze to the papers. She had nothing to do with her career on paper. [She is a fragment of the Almighty Cult] She belonged to the French Research Society, but she resigned last year, and since then, she has been a person who insists that the fragments of the Almighty Cult be dismantled and not used for personal gain. Yeonju Choi calmly read her documents from cover to cover, then looked at the researcher again.

“No, that…”

“Why are you trying to explain? Call the manager.”

When Choi Yeon-ju nodded, the researcher nodded her head and then hee! She did and she ran screaming. Choi Yeon-joo sat in a chair in front of her desk where her researcher shredded her papers, then she took another look at her career. No matter how she looked at it, she had no reason to invite a human with a career like this.

“Did you call?”

The head of the research team came down, sweating profusely. Choi Yeon-joo looked at her team leader’s slender body and said a word.

“Team Leader. I should do some exercise. I think I gained a little more weight.”

“Sorry. I don’t have time to exercise because I’m so focused on research.”

“You still need to exercise regularly. I am also old.”

“I will keep that in mind.”

The team leader seemed unwilling to listen to her properly, but Choi Yeon-ju did not point it out to the team leader. She said that the important issue for her now was not her team leader’s wobbly belly fat, but because she was the career of a French researcher listed in this paper. Yeonjoo Choi said.

“So, why did you decide to get support from this person? Judging from her career, she was a very unreliable person.”

“Well, except for him, the French Research Society rejected everything.”

“Therefore. If the French Research Society rejected it, it should end there. Why are you inviting geeks who can’t even fit into your home country’s research society?”

“I had exchanged e-mails with that person beforehand, and he sent me a lot of research materials on fragments of the Almighty Sacrifice from the French side. In France, omnipotent agents are called [Parouellain], And it was a thesis that closely examined the degree of physical change or strengthening of people who absorbed [Parouellain]. It is not the latest data since the scholar himself left the study group for a long time, and it is the data studied about 10 years ago, but this alone is enough for us now.

In addition to this, the team leader also revealed that if this researcher goes to Korea, she has pledged to hand over all the materials she has researched. Upon hearing that, her expression of Choi Yeon-ju also relaxed. Even if it was a little behind the times, the more data the better. However, she never doubted Choi Yeon-ju.

“Why does that person say he is giving us research on omnipotence? There are countries with better research results than ours, and there must be many people who want French data. For example, there is also China, right?”

China was far ahead of Korea in the study of omnipotence. In China, where the land mass is vast, there has been a phrase about a black substance that strengthens or maddens the power of the capable person and raises the physical ability from a long time ago, and it was called [Almighty Fragment].

Since then, religions that worship this [Shard of Almighty] As a god have arisen in Korea, Japan, and China, and this [Fragment of Almighty] Is treated as the remains of an imaginary god called [Almighty Emperor], And [Fragment of Almighty Emperor] Or [Almighty Remains of the ritual] Was changed and called.

The religion that worshiped Almighty Fragments was disbanded when the religious leaders of each country were killed or went mad, but the current name was solidified as people who learned that this black substance actually had a personality began to call it [Fragment of Almighty God].

The team leader shrugged his shoulders and said.

“The Chinese said they couldn’t believe it.”

I couldn’t believe it, so I had nothing to say. Yeonju Choi nodded his head and handed over the documents again. She said that the researcher would hand over her data, so there was no reason for her to stop inviting this researcher, and if her research progressed, she would be fine with her as well.

But she’s one thing. It bothered her very much that this researcher had a movement arguing to dismantle the fragments of the omnipotent system. So Yeonju Choi said.

“Team Leader. Do you know why we are doing this research?”

“Yes. The intention was to strengthen more and more hunters with the power-enhancing method of this fragment, to prevent civilians from being sacrificed by the gate.”

“Yes. That’s it. You know what I’m talking about?”

“Yes. I know.”

“Then suffer.”

Yeonju Choi nodded to her team leader and went out of the lab again. Cobwebs hung from the pine trees outside the lab. A large ladybug caught a flying dragonfly and rolled it around. Yeon-joo, who was staring at the bed covered with pure white thread, said as he got into the car.

“Let’s go back to Seoul. The drama will start in a little while.”

Yeonjoo Choi. 32 years old. She was a historical drama fanatic.

******

You have to kill Lee Hyeon-woo.

But it lacked strength.

At first, Soonhong Choi tried to kill Hyunwoo Lee in the same way he killed Jiwan Jang. The day after the funeral. Lee Hyun-woo relieved her own energy with the food at the restaurant she frequented. However, as if Lee Hyun-woo had noticed his plan, he suddenly stopped visiting the restaurant, and when he sent his gift, the gift was discarded.

Choi Soon-hong, who had been in an invisible one-sided war of nerves with Lee Hyeon-woo for about a week, finally admitted that Lee Hyun-woo could not be killed in this way because he had a great sense of detecting others’ abilities or was incredibly lucky.

She even reflected on herself that she was trying to solve everything in this easy way. Choi Sun-Hong, therefore, was focusing on her training to put more strength into her.

When the masked man opens the door to the training ground where he is training, Choi Soon-Hong discovers that she is passing her time practicing Pa Chun-gong, an original martial art she developed.

The masked man looked at Choi Soon-hong and said.

“Are you busy?”

“What is it?”

“A request came in from outside.”

“A request?”

Choi Sun-hong turned her head away, sweating profusely. A question appeared on his face, as if he knew how he knew about this secret organization and requested it. Said the masked man.

“We all have external contacts. There is a [Almighty Emperor’s Fragment Research Association] On the French side, and they made a suggestion that might appeal to our elders.”

Choi Soon-hong asked.

“What?”

“This Frenchman is coming to Korea from France, and he wants me to kill him.”

“Kill people?”

Soonhong Choi accepted the paper. I saw an ordinary-looking Westerner. Choi Soon-Hong was an old-fashioned person who called these Westerners nose-jags or lambs. So, as soon as he saw this white man’s face, he squinted his eyes.

The masked man said while Choi Soon-hong checked the paper.

“Instead of killing them, I decided to receive reinforcements using fragments of the Almighty. The effect is better than conventional fragments.”

At those words, Soonhong Choi’s eyes widened.
