After a while, I was able to completely calm down.

The dizziness and things like that have subsided to some extent.

At least it didn’t seem like there would be any problems in everyday life.

Exercise or combat… I felt like there would be some problem if I went that way.

That’s how I knew I wasn’t feeling well.

I felt like I needed to rest for a day before I could move again.

I had an idea of how this happened.

It seemed like the biggest thing was being beaten by Haejin Ahn.

There were times when she was strong, and there were times when she wasn’t able to regenerate properly.

If it weren’t for Ahn Hae-jin’s ability to stop me from regenerating, my body would be in better shape than it is now.

Lee Sang was calmly examining my physical condition for a while.

It was clear that he was thinking about what to do if I collapsed.

So I said I wouldn’t fall down and then started grumbling.

“… If only it weren’t so bad.”

“Wait a minute, how hard did you roll your body? Isn’t it true? Isn’t it done?”

“Yes. Why.”

“Do you know someone?”

“I know this person?”

“… Damn it.”

Lee Sang got up straight from his seat, went outside and put on his shoes.

I hurriedly followed him out.

I didn’t know what was going on, but I was sure it was something important.

As I quickly put on my shoes and followed Lee Sang, I suddenly felt something ominous.

I urgently called Sang-sang over and said,

“Hey, hey.”

“… Why.”

“Has anyone come to visit me using my name? I mean, women.”

“… I came. Because I couldn’t trust you, I treated you a little roughly.”

“Well, because he was treated so harshly, his expression is sad.”

I made fun of Lee Sang who turned white.

Knowing the special characteristics of the industrial complex, it was not strange for Lee Sang to overreact.

… It feels like a play on words, but anyway.

If I had actually welcomed them, I would have felt strange.

He has no choice but to thoroughly check and manage it.

And after looking at the saints, I kicked Lee Sang’s legs.

Sang-sang, who was holding his leg, grumbled something, but I didn’t care.

No matter how careful they were, the saints were now confined like livestock in the barn.

It was basic to tie both feet and hands carefully with cable ties.

These were all kids who had been beaten and injured by me, so it made no sense to manage them like this.

What if the wound gets worse?

At least it didn’t seem to be in a very dire condition.

The barn had probably never been used, so it was relatively clean.

There were things like blankets and blankets in it, and there was also a chair.

I wonder how they were able to use the bathroom, but the expressions on the saints’ faces weren’t too bad.

So I only kicked one.

If I had treated him really roughly, I would have kicked him three times.

He would have kicked both his legs and pushed his butt.

No, now that I look at it, I doubt whether they even fed me properly.

“You fed this bastard properly, right?”

“You gave me meat with rice? They even took away our food, but is it unfair?”

“Then, so that I don’t misunderstand?”

“This bastard… ?”

Lee Sang and I fought, raising our voices for several minutes.

But since we both had the same problem, we reconciled after a while.

I made the mistake of sending the saints without paying attention to the special characteristics of the industrial complex.

Lee Sang made a mistake by not trying to properly understand the situation and handling things roughly.

So, rather than raising our voices at each other, I thought it would be better to just pretend it never happened.

Above all, it was fortunate that I did not react completely without thinking.

Ahn Hae-jin said that because his condition was more serious, he could no longer be confined.

So, they set up a place to stay and treated her.

And after she regained consciousness, she said that there would be no major problems since she had been entrusted with the management of the saints.

We’ll have to see if there’s a real big problem or not.

“… Ah.”

“It’s been a while.”

I went to Ahn Hae-jin, who was resting in her room, and told her.

Ahn Hae-jin seemed to be in much better condition than the last time I saw her.

At least it looks like it can move.

“Well, I want to ask you something.”

I felt like I could tell a story, so I immediately asked Lee Sang how he had treated the saints.

It was only then that I realized that Lee Sang seemed to have treated the saints well, other than not listening to their stories.

I don’t know why they locked it in the barn and misled people, or maybe they ignored the story.

After hearing that, Lee Sang grumbled for a while and it became very annoying.

After speaking more than enough, I sat down in front of Haejin Han.

When Ahn Hae-jin saw me making a serious expression, he also stiffened his posture.

Finally, after paying attention to Lee Sang, he sat down with a proper posture.

“Yes, you can ask.”

Ahn Hae-jin said that and smiled.

I asked her to tell me about what happened in Busan.

To be exact, it happened in a pseudo-power group.

After Ahn Hae-jin heard those words, his expression hardened.

He looked like he was remembering something he didn’t want to remember, so I felt a little very sorry.

But I couldn’t help it.

Because you need to know at least roughly how that stupid ability is applied.

Even though I got caught once, it wasn’t right in many ways.

So, I told about the reactions of the saints on campus and asked Ahn Hae-jin for a proper explanation.

Fortunately, it wasn’t long before Ahn Hae-jin slowly nodded and opened his mouth.

“I was in charge of the religious police there. It was also a place to judge heretics who broke the rules of the community.”

Ahn Hae-jin continued his explanation starting with those words.

The pseudo-force was a very unstable force from the beginning.

The majority of the church did not look kindly on the newly created pseudo-religion.

Originally, people who were obsessed with pseudo-religion would not have paid any attention.

However, after the situation broke out, the story changed as even a single material became very precious.

The reason people fell into cults was to make a living.

He said he would provide a way if I just believed, so I just believed it.

However, if other people were hostile to you for believing in a cult, there was no reason to believe in it.

Since the pseudo-religion at the time was just emerging, the lack of doctrine also played a role.

So Jjindawa Elder came up with a plan.

Since this is a kind of persecution, let’s wait until it builds up and then explode it all at once to turn the situation around.

However, as the persecution continued, it was clear that there would be people who wanted to leave the community.

In order to prevent that, Jjinta looked for people who had entered this novel like him.

Since he probably knew something about the situation, I was confident that he would be strong.

In this way, Jjinta made the people who entered the novel into saints.

Since everyone was coming to Busan to meet Kang Si-woo, it wasn’t that difficult to gather them together.

Ahn Hae-jin was also on his way to meet Kang Si-woo, and it is said that that is how he became a saint.

Jintta especially brainwashed saints who had strong abilities or seemed to have high potential.

Ahn Hae-jin said that he was brainwashed like that and worked hard as a police officer.

By calmly doing things that are unspeakable.

At that time, Ahn Hae-jin did not think it was strange, and said that he only realized it as the brainwashing faded.

Then, the pseudo-power began to move north, and Ahn Hae-jin fled with his colleagues to take advantage of that time.

“That’s how it happened… ”

“Yes. The rest is as you know.”

Ahn Hae-jin, who looked a little haggard, forced a smile.

I smiled at Ahn Hae-jin and shook my head.

It seemed that Jjinta had brainwashed other saints to silence them.

If something like that were to become known to the outside world, the reputation of the pseudo-power would literally fall into the abyss.

It seemed like the elder was probably very clever.

That kind of strategy doesn’t just happen.

Haejin Ahn stayed like that for a moment, then looked at me as if he had something to say.

I nodded slowly, signaling that it was okay to speak.

Ahn Hae-jin looked embarrassed for a moment, then opened his mouth.

“Strictly speaking, I am in the opposite situation from you, right? Both ability and situation.”

“In some ways, it is true.”

“But I was suffering from such terrible memories, and you seemed so happy.”

“… Did you do that?”

“Yes. So I felt very inferior. I was so angry that my colleagues thought it was strange.

The reason everyone felt awkward back then was because I had a strange hostility toward you.”

“Well, it was something like that.”

Ahn Hae-jin bowed her head as if she was truly sorry, but I was not impressed at all.

It was because I thought it could be possible.

If I were in the same situation, I would have felt inferior too.

That bastard must have slandered me and asked why I was so happy.

No, the plan could have been worse than Ahn Hae-jin.

I’m going to throw it on the ground somehow and like it.

Anyway, since I was a human being with few strengths, this wasn’t a big problem.

So I was able to quickly reconcile with Ahn Hae-jin.

It wasn’t grand enough to use the word reconciliation, but whatever.

In fact, I only wrote it because the person concerned seemed to want to hear the words forgiveness and reconciliation over and over again.

After that, Yi Sang left, saying that he needed to hear the story from the saints.

Ahn Hae-jin asked for understanding, saying he still needed to rest a little longer.

So, I thought it would be a good idea to get some rest and prepare to go to Busan.

So I went back to my room, lay down and looked at the ceiling.

It’s not that I can’t sleep, but I need to lie down and rest.
