by fnovelpiaWhen a person with superpowers dies, their body is treated more strictly than anything else.
Here, various words can be placed in place of the word ‘thing’.
The most representative example would be the word ‘resources.’
The person with this ability has died.
If the dead person with superpowers was not a hero but a villain, especially if he was someone who pretended to be a hero and gave people hope, but then was revealed to be a villain and brought them despair.
It is not unfair that something new must be done based on the death of this villain.
So, whether a villain or anyone else, the body of someone with superpowers is the most important ‘resource’ managed by the Hero Association.
Even if it’s a corpse.
however.
“Tsk tsk. It’s been a while since I came up to Seoul and all I see is a corpse.”
Hyeon Se-rin and I exchanged glances when we saw the people entering the morgue.
This is someone I know.
There is no one in Korea who does not know that man.
Hojeong Choi.
Chairman of Korea’s leading group, Haeguneul.
I don’t know what the old man ate so deliciously, but even though he was well past his 60th birthday, he still looked like he was in his 40s.
“You damn bastard.”
Such a person is swearing at the dead person with superpowers and towards the corpse.
Even if the person is dead, I think it is against ethics to humiliate the corpse.
“You spend 50 billion won and then do something villainous? Rotten guy. Do you think I sponsored him by paying him that much money just to do that?…”
Considering that Knott Crasher’s villainous actions have caused economic losses to Sunshade and, by extension, to the country, and what will happen in the future, it may be natural for this man to curse.
“What is the reaction of the bereaved family?”
“I don’t even want to come up to Seoul.”
“What about insurance?”
“No human being can bear to raise their face and ask for death insurance.”
“Of course it should be so. Even if I take out that insurance, I will be sued by the people who killed my child. Tsk tsk….”
For Chairman Choi Ho-jeong, everything comes down to money.
“First of all, you removed this bastard’s ad, but now you’ve added another ad, right?”
“Ah, yes. Our group…”
“Take it out completely. Stay still for at least a week. Let’s just spend about a week watching the news and dramas before and after. Damn…”
“Then there will be a huge loss….”
“Do you want to suffer that loss, or do you want to go out in front and bow your head and read the apology?”
“Keuhm.”
Another middle-aged man who came in with Chairman Choi Ho-jeong cleared his throat and looked away.
“Anyway….”
While the chairman and his party were weighing the economic losses, I checked on the condition of the people who came in next to Se-rin Hyeon.
There are no people with this ability.
In that case, no one would be very sensitive to the idea of talking about mana here.
[There’s no need to get caught now, right?]
[huh. There’s nothing strange about getting caught. There is one reason.]
Justification.
The justification is that Goblin and Do-ol are in this mortuary.
That’s the same thing as the S-class super-talented person who came all the way to Seoul.
The body of a person with Class A abilities.
The villain’s body.
resource.
“Then, the head of the Seoul branch of the Hero Association?”
“Ah, yes! Chairman!”
Behind Chairman Choi Ho-jeong, a middle-aged woman followed right next to him with a stern expression on her face.
“How does the government want to use this villain?”
“According to the guidelines and the wishes of the bereaved family…”
“Don’t say things like that.”
“…The President is more concerned about the security and peace in southern Gyeonggi Province due to the disappearance of Knott Crasher than the Knott Crasher’s body. You don’t want to make a fuss about the dead body.”
“I guess so? Then, we can just handle it ‘as usual’, right?”
The chairman smiled wryly.
The eyes looking at the body were not as if they were looking at a dead person, but as if they were looking at the body of a Korean beef that had been electrocuted by lightning.
“It’s not like he’s dealing with a demon or a person with superpowers who died while dealing with a villain. Rather, he is a guy who commits evil acts against the weak and gets his head broken by a goblin. If you bury the body of a guy like that quietly, there will be more problems, right?”
“That’s right. Whether from China or Japan, there will definitely be people who come to dig up the body. Maybe the villain is like that. Even if it’s just a goblin right now…”
“You stupid person. If the goblin had tried to suck the body of the person with superpowers, he would have disposed of it on the spot and left. Why did you leave the body behind? If the body was dismembered and washed, it is not a goblin, but something wearing the mask of a goblin. Tsk tsk. Anyway, it’s better for this body to disappear quickly.”
As if the chairman was making excuses, he started making up justifications.
“And wouldn’t it be most economical and constructive to use the villain’s corpse as a foundation for the national economy?”
Smirk.
“Haeguneul Sangjo will cremate the villain’s body according to the manual.”
Makeup.
To kill by burning.
The reason, of course, is to extract the most important resource from the body of the person with this ability.
“Report as soon as mana powder refining work is completed. The undertakers are coming from Busan to Seoul, so they will start the ‘bone bone’ work as soon as they arrive.”
The corpse has a human appearance, but is not human.
“Cut one here and one there. Make sure not to shed even a single cartilage.”
It is an economic resource more valuable than a gold nugget.
“If it were the body of a person with Class A abilities, it would fetch at least hundreds of billions of won. Tsk, even if I hadn’t been executed… I would have received trillions of won if I sold it well.”
Chairman Haegeuneul quenched his appetite.
“Why did I have to go after the goblin?”
* * *
After safely leaving the morgue, we took a short break in an alley just outside the hospital.
“It’s just a world going crazy. Right?”
“Sure. How does the sun’s shadow never change?”
Serin Hyun and I quenched our thirst with drinks from the vending machine and pondered the conversation that took place in the morgue.
“Do Manager. Do you know the ultimate reason why I decided to join the organization?”
“For bringing the dead back to life?”
“There are things like that, but the reason why I gave up my loyalty to the organization and my second life for the organization.”
“Dignified death for someone with superpowers.”
“Correct answer.”
Hyun Se-rin snapped her fingers and smiled slightly.
“After an E-level psychic dies, if you make it into mana powder and sell it, that alone can be worth over billions. Just billions? If you use kickbacks and brokers to turn things around, it could easily be worth tens of billions of won.”
Mana powder is a doping agent for those with special abilities.
To put it bluntly, it is a drug.
It is illegal to produce drug powder, but if someone were to dig up drugs from a dead body, it is the government’s role to collect and dispose of the body before that happens.
However, no country easily ‘erases’ the bodies of people with special abilities.
“When I was in Northern Europe, oh, I won’t tell you where. Because it can destroy the illusion of exaggeration for no reason.”‘
“It’s okay. Anyway, from the moment I opened my eyes in this world, I shattered many illusions.”
“Hmm. Thank you for saying that. Anyway, there… when a person with a supernatural ability dies, the government makes mana powder and has the living person with a psychic ability inhale it.”
Hyun Se-rin crushed the drink can she had just finished drinking with her hand, as if she felt uncomfortable just thinking about it.
“I understand. What can a weak country do to become strong? I do understand that dedicating resources to one person with A-level abilities is more beneficial to national competitiveness than having several C-level and D-level corpses.”
Rationally speaking.
“But do you really have to go that far? huh? People with superpowers are also people, so when they die, can’t they just bury them somewhere? Can’t you even have rest after you die? Ha, really.”
“So you joined the organization?”
“Okay. Death…at least it doesn’t turn the person with this ability into mana powder when they die.”
Strictly speaking, it is made from mana powder.
However, rather than turning it into strange candy and eating it like others, they take measures to prevent anyone from using the cremated body without permission.
Either keep it in the safest place than anywhere else, or if the person concerned allows, completely erase it from the world so that no one can use it.
It is desperate to prevent anyone from harming the body of a person with special abilities or the body of another person.
Manager “Do. If you executed Nutcrasher this time, what would you have done with his body?”
“I left it as is.”
“Right? The people you executed…there is no point in turning them into mana powder.”
A being executed by a goblin leaves no mana powder behind when it dies.
To be precise, even if you grind the white bones to make mana powder, even if you collect the mana powder and inhale it, there is no effect.
Because all the mana has already been drained.
Maybe it was right after they were executed, but the mana of those I executed did not remain in their bones, but was discharged out of the body and returned to nature.
“I remember that. Red Scarf, when you were going to be executed, the government’s wild dogs killed you first.”
“…….”
That’s probably what happened when I handed over the bike to Baek Seol-hee.
It was already several months ago.
“Probably, the dismantling work will take place today. Before more mana runs out, they will try to extract mana powder at full speed.”
then.
Even if he was executed by a goblin.
What if you extract mana before it all runs out?
What if you try to salvage the remaining mana?
” By the way, why are you so sad that you even want to take the bones of a dead person? ”
“If another method arises, it will be a little different then.”
Even if it is not Mana Powder, if there is something else, there will definitely be fewer people trying to touch Mana Powder.
Although it would be impossible to completely eliminate it.
“Someone said that. Human greed is endless, and the same mistakes are repeated.”
“The last words don’t seem to fit the current situation.”
Hyun Se-rin raised her hand to her face and used magic power to create a mask.
“Do you really want to become that strong?”
“There is a base mentality that if you become stronger somehow, you can win.”
I also put on my mask and grabbed the goblin bat.
[The body of a person with Class A abilities. Also a villain. There is no way the scavengers could stand it.]
today.
[come.]
Unidentified magical forces are gathering one after another towards Haeshaune General Hospital in Seoul.
[It’s time to clean out the maggots that are entangled in the corpse.]
