episode_0238

At that time, the Phuket field command center.

“This is…!”

“No, how?!”

Breaking news comes from all over.

Citizens in fear and confusion begin to search for the truth.

“Really, General!”

“Did the general run the slave island with Laplace?!”

“Heh, heh heh.”

General Jeokrang played with his mustache as he heard the cries of citizens outside the command center.

“You’re full of doubts. What a useless doubt.”

Although his voice did not tremble and was full of composure, he could not hide the faint feeling of discomfort coming out of it.

“President of the Association. Let’s take a moment to look at the situation. I have to call the Prime Minister.”

“Ha, but.”

“Quiet. I’m on the phone right now.”

He plugged his ears with old earphones he had taken out of his pocket and made a call while gently covering the microphone connected to the earphone cable.

“Ah, Prime Minister. Fly. It seems like villains are spreading false information to overthrow the country.”

[Well, I can’t believe that a group would do something like this…!]

“Okay. Martial law, should we do it?”

[Gye…gae, constitutional amendment? At this point?!]

“No, not a constitutional amendment!”

Was it because there was so much noise around?

“Martial law, martial law! Immediately impose martial law!”

[I understand, General. We will prepare for a constitutional amendment immediately…!]

“Damn, I spoke in Korean for no reason… hey!!”

Despite General Jeokrang’s warnings, the Prime Minister said ‘constitutional amendment’.

The phone suddenly hung up, and no call came back.

“Holy shit….”

No matter how general you are, you cannot move carelessly.

With everyone’s attention now focused on him, it would be difficult for him to move the unit alone, so people from other units would be waiting for an opportunity.

“No way….”

Is the Prime Minister pretending to be deaf and doing something stupid in the meantime?

If that’s the case, this position is dangerous.

“General! What is the truth! We have the right to know!”

“Did they really capture people and turn them into slaves?! yes?! What are those unidentified people with special abilities?!”

“…This is slander and scheming. It’s the villains’ work! Why don’t you know that!”

General Jeokrang threw his earphones on the floor and shouted loudly.

“How much I have dedicated to this country so far, how dare you say to me-”

“General Jeokrang.”

Crash.

The president of the association took out a pistol.

As soon as an imminent incident occurred, those at the command center took out their guns one by one and pointed them at each other.

“President of the Association. What is this?”

“That’s what I want to ask. General Jeokrang.”

The president of the association was thoughtful and pointed to his Thailand Watch and the large TV screen he brought as a situation board.

“Is it true that the missiles were launched on the island with the intention of burying all the kidnapped people and children there?”

Breaking news coming one after another.

As if it had been promised, all kinds of documents and information were being uploaded centering on unknown Internet media outlets.

“That’s the work of villains! It’s fabricated information whose authenticity cannot be immediately determined! It’s a lie!”

“Tongue, President of the Association! Now!!”

One of the association’s employees connected his Thailand watch to the screen.

and.

“Goblin TV…? What is that.”

they saw

[…The children…were not made with mana powder.]

The goblin who accuses Laplace of his sins.

“…….”

Crackling.

General Jeokrang took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit a fire.

“Beggar-like, talented brats. Tsk.”

Ta-ang!

As the gunfire rang out, a wind of blood began to rush into the command center.

* * *

Laplace’s Demon.

Perhaps the one who died with his head exploded here is the being that Laplace gave the name ‘Laplace’ to.

[Did you control Laplace’s actions while assisting right next to him? Interesting.]

“Wow, you recognized it right away. It’s a goblin after all.”

[Isn’t the cliché that the person who poses as a secretary or a second-in-command in front of the president of the company the real one is trivial?]

“…This is something I put a lot of care into.”

Laplace’s demon, a being that referred to itself as ‘Hyangdan’, had a shocked and gloomy expression on its face.

“As expected, a goblin. You know more than I do.”

[…….]

“Well, you only know what you know. I know more about you than you think. Hehehe.”

Hyangdan smiles lowly and spreads out a black fan.

There was an aura of death in the air, and a black aura began to spread throughout the room.

“For example, your original name is funnier than you thought.”

[It looks like you know more than you think. But it seems like you are not completely ‘omniscient’ either.]

“…….”

I pointed to my head.

[I don’t know how you knew my name, but unfortunately you don’t know everything. If that were the case, you would not have called yourself Laplace’s devil, but rather ‘God’.]

Or, he was frustrated when he realized that he was just a villain in a creative work.

[The world is bigger than you think.]

“…Say that when you know where we come from.”

[I’m saying this because I know.]

The subject came to Earth on a comet within the solar system.

Has he come further than me, who was brought into the world of a novel by a writer from a completely different dimension?

[hey. Do you know what this is?]

I created a spark on the goblin bat.

The brightly burning flame of the palace began to burn proudly with the number ‘5700’.

[If you know what this number means, I approve of you. But if you don’t know, you’re just a fool who thinks he knows everything.]

“…….”

Hyangdan’s expression frowns.

[There is no one easier to deal with than someone who thinks they are a great being. Since you appear before me, consider yourself dead.]

“Oh my. I’m sorry, but the method you used to kill Duokshini doesn’t work on me?”

Hyangdan folded the fan and stabbed himself in the abdomen.

[!!]

“What’s here is fake. Really, I’m not here. That’s too bad. Because I can’t kill him right here.”

[…Tsk.]

Do you know how to kill Duoksini, the ‘Room of Truth’?

“Why? Do you really think that if I ran into you, I would have just left without any plan? I’m sorry. Hehehe.”

[I am truly sorry.]

Is it fortunate that they didn’t find out that they were ‘using it without unity’ when they dragged it into the Room of Truth?

Now that this has happened, the best thing to do is to extract as much information as possible.

[There was no point in talking to Laplace. But talking to Laplace’s demon might be a bit useful.]

“Good. Could you please tell me instead? The meaning of 5700 you mentioned.”

[good night.]

Battle is meaningless.

Unless that woman came to fight.

Instead, you have to collect clues to bring that woman out just like you did with Doo-Oksini.

Just as we attracted the aggro of Duo-Oksini, we need to figure out what that woman’s tendencies are and dig up information so that she can appear in person later.

[I will ask. Why did you control him under Laplace in the name of Hyangdan?]

“That’s right, because I wanted to spread the Korean Wave.”

[……?]

Wait a minute, I had a brain freeze.

The Korean Wave is part of Laplace’s actions.

“Korean things are good. Therefore, I wanted to spread Korean things to this country as well. Similar things have been made not only in this country, but also in other countries.”

Hyangdan tapped Laplace’s shoulder with a fan and approached the dead body of Laplace and tapped it with his foot.

“With a name that seemed reasonably good, we contacted heroes, provided them with the luxuries and pleasures they wanted, established a political base by linking them with those in power, and further made it so that no entity in the country would dare to touch that base. .”

[It means that all those who followed the truth were killed.]

“You didn’t necessarily kill them all? Because they are all human resources. There is no better worker than one who gives up resistance and conforms. These clothes and the magic power that created this alter ego were all created from those people. Huhuhu.”

She’s crazy.

I know that he is not a human in the first place, but rather a demon from outer space, but the more I talk to him, the more I understand that he is a demon that lacks human emotions.

“I just wanted to follow the original example?”

[what?]

“Oh my, were those words too sensitive for a Korean person? Or is it because I was stabbed inside? Huhuhu.”

[……No way.]

One possibility flashed through my mind.

It was so absurd, but at the same time, the framework of the flow that ran through all the situations that occurred in Phuket was visible.

“Evil laws are also laws. What Socrates said.”

One thing I realized while dealing with the demons of Pandemonium.

When they utter the words of a great man, it is not because they deeply sympathize with the words of that great man, but rather, they are just using them as they please to rationalize and justify their own thoughts.

“I think that’s a good thing to say. Even evil laws are laws. Even bad people are ultimately human. And…bad history is history, and bad culture is culture. While Korea shines brightest, the dark shadow cast behind history also belongs to Korea.”

Hyangdan put her hands together and smiled brightly.

“Ordeals make people stronger. Same thing. Behind Korea’s current appearance as the world’s brightest country, it was full of dark and painful history.”

[Are you saying you are going to introduce that to other countries now?]

“That’s right! Also a goblin. The reason you quickly uncovered the darkness of this country is because you were all thinking this too!”

I thought about it.

I just thought it was ‘crazy’.

“From the poorest country after the Korean War to the best country in the world. If we can compress that process, all countries will develop like Korea.”

[Don’t you think the blood will flow in the process?]

“Oh my. Is that what a desperate goblin is saying? There’s nothing like sacrificing a cow for the greater good, right? If the blood flowing now will be replaced by the development of this country in the future. Just like the miracle in Seoul, something like the miracle in Bangkok could happen. Huhuhu.”

That woman actually did that crazy thing.

“Although it’s a shame that Hero wasn’t the starting point, it doesn’t matter. Hehehe. Because the flame has already burned thanks to you.”

Hyangdan.

“The spark of revolution. Roaring”

I just laughed so innocently.

“How do you feel?”

[That’s a shame.]

I aimed the goblin bat at Hyangdan.

[It seems like the citizens are hoping to start a revolution, but this is not Korea. Not even Korea after liberation.]

Ta-eu-ang!

“…Huh?”

[Even if it is an immolation, some of the senses will be conveyed.]

“Uh, uhh….”

I hit the bat with a full swing towards Hyangdan’s body.

“Ah, it hurts…! Uh, how…?!”

[If I were to continue what I said.]

I raised my bat high towards the head of the collapsing incense altar.

[The era of special abilities. Revolutions are no longer carried out by citizens.]

“Now, wait…! Before the alter ego disappears, the 5700-”

[Fuck you.]

I told you.

I don’t lie.

[I will definitely find it. And you.]

Per– billion.

[I’ll send you to the seat next to me.]

The incense altar exploded in a manner more terrible than that of Laplace.
