episode_0037

37.

There are many superhumans representing the country.

From the Five Stars of China, to the EU’s Executive Committee, to the New Continent’s Specialists, each country has its own superhumans and their names are different.

What about South Korea then?

Iron-blooded empress.

Puppeteer.

Saint.

These three are all there are.

It is commonly called S-class.

Because the landmass is small, there are fewer superhumans compared to other countries.

But there is no place better for gaining practical experience than South Korea.

A gate rising from the DMZ.

Extreme natural environment.

Mutations follow.

In fact, it is the best environment to become a superhuman, but the actual rate of becoming a superhuman is rare. This is because they die before that. That is why people focus their attention on the limited S-class.

They were considered heroes and shields of humanity. It was only natural that they were excited.

And when the S-class was expelled.

-?

-What is it?

-Is this real?

-JR

-Wow lol

People felt extremely confused.

Kang Mi-young had a duty to somehow calm the confusion.

“Are you really going to go?”

“If you’re scared, just wait. This elevator can withstand even a dragon’s blow.”

“Dae, I’ll have to wait! Ha, but Major, this prison is so… … .”

Buzz buzz buzz buzz.

Lieutenant Min struggled while holding onto the elevator safety bar.

This is a prison called the Alcatraz of South Korea. It is a facility built by remodeling a lonely island.

It’s true that I’m scared.

Because once you’re trapped, there’s no escape.

“Not clean. I know.”

One of the best powers in South Korea has fallen.

That too, for the crime of sedition, the greatest crime of the Awakened.

A S-class like that was arrested. What about overseas? There is a problem with the impregnable defense of the Republic of Korea.

Media control has failed.

It was widely reported in the world, and other countries took advantage of this chaotic time to extend their claws to South Korea.

‘That won’t do.’

Kang Mi-young walked down the hallway, her boots making a clacking sound.

There is an interrogation today.

The lowest level of the prison. This is where the National Intelligence Service, the Hunter Association, the Military Manpower Administration, and the Hunter Management Bureau are located.

The most elite troops were selected to take charge of security here. Security personnel moved quickly and raised the bulkhead.

[The restricted area is activated.]

Forbidden Zone. An area where the Awakened cannot use their abilities. The zone is renewed every month by paying a high fee. With the people’s tax money.

That’s about the price of a single-plane ticket. Kang Mi-young didn’t get it, but she had a rough idea.

This is the kind of cost that can be paid to lock up a psychopath like Hong Seo-min.

“Your face is pale? It’s been a while.”

After passing through several layers of bulkheads and guard posts, we entered the special room. Hong Seo-min was sitting in his favorite chair.

I put my legs on the armrest and leaned against the other side, feeling a bit arrogant.

Also, because she was naked all over, her pale skin stood out.

“There is no time for small talk. Answer honestly.”

Interviews cannot be held for extended periods of time due to security concerns.

“Should I swear something?”

Kang Mi-young sat down quietly, trembling with breath.

“It’s so uncomfortable here. I wish they would move the theater again.”

“The criminal is making too many demands.”

“Who did I kill?”

“Death─”

“It’s all the dolls’ doing. Can’t it be out of my control? Right? I can’t control everything.”

What the hell.

Just looking at it, you can tell that it’s spitting out saliva as it tries to escape.

Hong Seo-min, locked in a special room, had a bright face. You could say his face was oozing with oil.

Is it acting?

A question arises. Kang Mi-young frowns.

Well, he started out as a child actor and is now a working adult. He can act out emotions in the blink of an eye. That was the first exclamation that came out.

genius.

That was the term used to refer to Hong Seo-min. He was a great actor and theater person who led the South Korean film industry.

Since her awakening in her early 20s, she has gained experience and reached the very top.

I don’t want to bother you for no reason.

“Let me ask you a question first.”

“Hmm.”

Kang Mi-young nodded cynically.

There were many questions exchanged.

The identity of the tower.

The legitimacy of action.

Ability, etc.

Hong Seo-min, who was pondering the question, ran his fingernails over his freshly cut fingernails.

“Okay, shall we make a deal?”

“Deal? Huh, are you asking me to collude with the enemy? You’re asking me to do something stupid. This conversation is being recorded. It will be used against me in the future trial.”

“Recording. Recording. Hmm, interesting. I have the information you want. You just have to give me one thing.”

“What are you talking about?”

“That guy.”

That guy?

Kang Mi-young couldn’t understand. What on earth could possibly be wrong with Lee Seong-han that he wanted so much from him.

… … I am like that too.

“… … I will exercise my right to veto the answer.”

I rejected it outright.

Hong Seo-min laughed as if it was a natural reaction.

“He’s a space shuttle that flew off without fuel. Whoosh-whoosh─ Boom! He’s going to crash without the help of a skilled person like me. And you too. You need him.”

“I don’t know what it means.”

“Well, shouldn’t you find out for yourself? Hehehe. You’re already tainted by that guy.”

The conversation with Hong Seo-min continued without any substance.

After returning from prison, Kang Mi-young returned home.

The next day.

After eating, Kang Mi-young opened a cylindrical bottle of medicine.

“… … .”

It feels good to the touch because it’s plastic. When I open the cap, I see a pill. White. The strong artificial fragrance stings my nose.

My mouth dried reflexively. I pondered at the small table.

You have to eat this.

Because if I don’t eat, I’ll go crazy.

What if I don’t eat?

I see hallucinations,

I hear auditory hallucinations.

They attack themselves.

What if she fights back?

Disperse and reassemble. The worst enemy that cannot be defeated.

The problem is that it happens every day. Kang Mi-young hates that.

1 hour, 1 minute, 1 second.

Even taking medicine doesn’t help.

It’s driving me crazy.

Even she, who is praised as an iron woman, can’t endure it, so will others understand? They will surely dismiss it as a trivial story.

“You have to lose to get what you want.”

Kang Mi-young swallowed the medicine.

I believe it. I must believe it. This is a magical item that can cure my condition.

But is this really right? Is this really a good idea? Kang Mi-young retched and ran to the sink.

… he vomited blood. His internal organs were rotting, and he gave off a terrible smell.

When was it okay?

Kang Mi-young slowly recalled her memories.

The best time was December of last year and January of this year. What happened then? Yes, I was on official duty with Lee Seong-han.

“When I’m with him… … .”

Kang Mi-young stroked her chin. Strangely, her condition had improved. The exact reason is unknown.

I can only guess.

“Did I get some kind of reward? Defeating that Mirginos. And an emergency quest reward. That’s probably it.”

Kang Mi-young’s level has increased additionally.

Gained a huge amount of experience.

Kang Jin-young’s magic proficiency has increased.

Now you can use high-ranking magic without any problems.

Then, what about Lee Seong-han?

Since it’s a supporter series, I wonder if it didn’t receive any support characteristics?

Oh, boy! ─ I pictured him running wild backstage. There was a subtle difference when I was with him.

As if I had taken medicine.

My mind becomes clearer.

In fact, it was more effective than medicine.

His face was flushed and his body was full of energy. It was as if he had returned to his prime. No wonder he was told he had become younger.

At first, she didn’t think much of it. Ah, my body feels light today─that’s what Kang Mi-young thought at the time.

One day like that.

A week.

One month.

As the time spent away from Lee Seong-han increases.

Her condition deteriorated rapidly.

“Cow, inside.”

I ran to the bathroom to get rid of the nausea. I retched and vomited blood several times at the counter.

I’m slowly dying. I can tell instinctively. If I keep going like this, I’ll really die.

Kang Mi-young wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth. Her reflection in the mirror coincidentally caught her eye.

“Me, me?”

What you see in the mirror is not your former energetic self.

This is just a corpse.

zombi.

Yeah, it’s similar to a zombie.

A monster that threatens humanity.

strain.

His prime self, when he stood proudly against the shadow of death. Compared to that, he looks incredibly shabby.

‘need.’

His eyes are trembling like a drug addict.

She was getting ready to go out without even realizing it. Her smartphone, which she hadn’t used in a while, was covered in dust because she’d only been at home.

[Lee Seong-han 010-XXXX-XXXX]

Tiring-

He awkwardly dialed the number and held it to his ear.

-Yes, this is Lee Seong-han.

“Where are you now? It’s urgent. Right now.”

-Are you the major?

“Tell me where it is.”

“I’m with my younger sibling. Oh, here.”

-… … … … .

It happened 20 minutes before she arrived at Yi Seong-han.

* * *

Why is this happening?

My face doesn’t brighten up at all.

[‘Block’ dares to express his discomfort at the non-mainstream touching of his body.]

[‘Regeneration’ is “so… … Honestly, I think that Kang Mi-young is the pure-hearted and true wife.” expresses his opinion.]

[‘Super-Reconnaissance’ is surprised and says, “Re-birth?! What are you talking about?!”]

[‘Auto-Battle’ is nagging me to do something.]

Kang Mi-young holds his hand somewhat shyly.

“Your Majesty.”

“Ah. Yes.”

“… Stay by my side. Don’t let go.”

Like a parent who doesn’t want to lose their child, Kang Mi-young’s hands were big and strong.

The guests inside didn’t notice though.

Reasonable.

Kang Mi-young.

Kang Jin-young.

This three-way confrontation was taking place at a freezing level, despite the heat wave warnings issued outside.

“Cow, Major─”

Ugh.

“Don’t open your mouth. Joe, stay quiet. You don’t have to mix up the titles. I’m not an official either. Besides… ”

Kang Mi-young’s evil hand covers her mouth.

widely!

The hands are soft and firm. Even though they have calluses, they are still women’s hands.

So much so that you can even hear the sound of waves breaking.

In an instant, even the sound of breathing was blocked.

“Your Majesty. Will you be quiet?”

…

…

…

licking.

Something rough and bumpy that you can feel from your palm. It’s a familiar feeling. It’s something you’ve stirred several times.

tongue.

It’s definitely the tongue.

“······.”

“Crazy, crazy, crazy”

Think. Judge. Do.

Just 3 seconds.

“Ear, ear!”

Kang Mi-young’s arm suddenly fell off.

She was panting, almost out of breath.

She would periodically startle, perhaps because it was a creepy sensation.

“Are you crazy?!”

Your face turns red like a ripe tomato. Don’t you have any sense of chastity? You’re not even a dog.

This man is incomprehensible. When I look at him, my heart races and I can’t control myself.

“I wasn’t crazy. I thought I was going to suffocate. Besides, I had no other way to tell you, Major. I’m sorry.”

“······.”

Kang Mi-young puts her hand in her bosom.

“Do you have no sense of sex?! Hey, how can you lick a woman’s hand!”

Cow, lick your hand?

She has the work at the workshop overlapping in her mind.

A woman who is being harassed indiscriminately while covered up. A man who is struggling while trapped underneath.

To put it nicely, it was a romantic comedy(?), to put it badly, it was a sexual crime (fact).

“······I thought you were a Burberry girl. Sister. Are you crazy?”

Kang Jin-young smiled faintly. It was because her older sister came and ruined the (self-proclaimed) innocent date.

Kang Mi-young was not flustered by the sudden attack and instead counterattacked.

My skin became vibrant and my whole body felt energized.

‘There’s definitely something about this guy.’

Kang Mi-young could feel it instinctively.

“Choi, I heard you’ve been having a hard time with the recent counter-terrorism issue. Can the 10-nation brain hang out here? I have personal business with you.”

“The Awakened Terror has already ended. If you have any business─”

I interrupted him.

“Why did you take the awakened soldiers?! The awakened soldiers are under the Hunter Management Bureau! Not the National Intelligence Service.”

“Oh, right, it only includes ‘women’.”

Kang Jin-young laughed.

“Managing male awakeners is the job of the 10 countries. It’s not your sister’s job.”

A spark flew from each other’s eyes.

“That’s enough talk.”

Kang Mi-young took out a few napkins and wiped her hands. Then she put them in her pocket.

“Isn’t your own opinion the most important?”

Their gazes were focused on Lee Seong-han.

“If you find this bitch unpleasant, tell me. I’ll cut you down myself.”

“Huh. If it’s to the extent of making my sister disabled, it’s possible. Don’t you remember last time? If Seonghan wasn’t here, my sister would’ve already died.”

“Have you ever been hit by an Aura Blade? It cuts through anything. I can show you once. Where would you like it to cut?”

“You couldn’t even link arms with your sister.”

“A bird that can’t even hold hands has a lot to say.”

“Small is better than big.”

Kang Jin-young confidently pointed to her crop top with both hands.

“What the hell. You’d starve a baby to death over something so small.”

“Are you done talking?”

The sisters’ fight was brought to a halt by the poisonous gaze of President Kim Yeon. But the war is not over yet─

After all, their fight took place elsewhere.

“Coffee.”

[-Your order has been completed.]

“Fruit.”

[-Your order has been cancelled.]

“Coffee!!!”

[-Your order has been completed.]

“Fruit!!!”

[-Your order has been cancelled.]

…

…

…

“There, there.”

I just need a glass of water.

Lee Seong-han’s timid voice could no longer be heard.

He sighed.

“I have to go to the test center soon. Ugh”

Promotion test.

An essential course of awakening disease was waiting for him.
