Auction time, 2pm.

Auction venue, Haeshauneul Hotel.

Everything is Chairman Desmond’s choice, but of course I am behind his choice.

Why does the auction start at 2pm?

There is definitely something strange about holding an auction during the day when the sun is high in the sky, rather than in the evening.

Because there is something different from what I talked about before.

Pajijijik.

Something touched the barrier.

I felt it, Baek Harang felt it, and Ymir felt it too.

“…this.”

[I will go.]

“Isn’t it right for me to go?”

[This is not a signal to look for Baek Seol-hee. You are looking for me.]

The person who felt something was wrong wants to find me.

If that current was sent to Baek Seol-hee’s room, it would mean only one thing.

[You’re smarter than I thought.]

Maybe it’s natural to notice, but you can’t know unless you meet and talk in person.

So, I immediately put on my mask and went through the front door, not the front door, into the next room, and then from the next room I headed back into the hallway.

“Do Ji-hwan! Are you in the room?! Ugh, what are you guys!”

“I am an agent of the association. Please do not make noise inside the hotel.”

“The people’s right to know now…! stop! Where are you touching! Where are you touching!!”

Outside, the association’s agents and reporters are arguing.

I walked confidently in the middle of it, but no one noticed me.

Just one person.

Except for this woman who, as soon as I entered the front door across from Baek Seol-hee’s room, made a ‘cracking’ sound and surrounded the room with magic and set a barrier.

[Did you find me?]

“…….”

Holy shit, Yunji Kim called me from the room on the other side.

Using my electronic ability, I attempted to knock by sending an electric signal into Baek Seol-hee’s room, and as soon as I read the signal, I immediately entered her room.

“You must be a goblin with no manners to come in without knocking.”

[What’s new? It’s better than the person who knocked on the barrier with his forehead.]

“…….”

The Emperor was pressing his reddened forehead with his hand.

He probably intended to enter Baek Seol-hee’s room electronically, but he must have been blocked by the barrier and hit his head hard before returning to his own room.

[You even managed to notice it. That I am him.]

“Do Ji-hwan is actually a goblin.”

This woman.

I found out the truth faster than anyone else.

[Just because I was in Jeju Island, I wouldn’t have had any clues to know that Do Ji-hwan was a goblin.]

“…Aren’t you a fool if you don’t know when you’ve come this close?”

Yunji Kim reached out to the TV and displayed a picture of a man.

“Senior Baek Seol-hee wouldn’t just date a random guy, so I just thought there was something hidden about that guy. The most plausible one is the hypothesis that the goblin they were bickering with before is Do Ji-hwan.”

[You guessed it based on that alone? Isn’t it a bit of a leap?]

“Goblins always appear where Baek Seol-hee is, and I just thought that the two might have some kind of relationship. I just assumed that he would have approached senior Baek Sul-hee in the same way he approached me. Just….”

[only?]

“…Is it really a relationship between a man and a woman?”

The Emperor looked at me with somewhat embarrassed yet excited eyes.

“Is this not simply a relationship between light and darkness, but a relationship where yin and yang are combined into one?”

[It is a patriotic cider.]

“……Big deal.”

The Emperor, who used to be a bit stiff, seemed to speak a bit like a woman of that age.

[This is how the game was set up in the first place, isn’t it strange that we don’t think about it?]

“I thought Baek Seol-hee was hiding the fact that you were a goblin, even if it meant deceiving people like that…”

Clap, clap, clap.

“What is this applause all of a sudden?”

[just. It’s so amazing that there is someone with such a pure and clear soul.]

Who would have thought that Baek Seol-hee’s kidnapping of Do Ji-hwan while talking about her pregnancy was a self-sacrifice to hide the fact that ‘Do Ji-hwan is a goblin’, even if she was making a pregnancy drip.

[It’s sound, common sense, and logical, but the thinking is really clean.]

“Is this a compliment?”

[There are only people around me with pink hair, so you are the first person to approach me that way. To put it a little worse, there are many people who are possessed by the devil of obscenity.]

“…but the reality is.”

[The correct answer is the obscene devil.]

I lightly rubbed my two fingers together, and the Emperor instantly blushed and took a step back.

“Please don’t think of doing something like that to me!”

[Do you think I’m the kind of villain who messes with random women?]

“Ha, but there are a lot of women around the goblin-”

For a moment, the Emperor looked at me with a straight face.

“…How far have you gone with Serin?”

[What if I say I made it to the end?]

“…….Se, what did Serin say? That goblin with other women…”

[Rather, he likes doing things together with others, right?]

The straight expression on his face suddenly falls apart.

“This can’t be right….”

I am filled with despair after discovering the secret of the senior I admired.

I’m a little worried that I might become a devil, but honestly, if I become a devil because of something like this, it’s not my fault, it’s a matter of the Emperor’s mental strength.

“Ser, Serin is like that… So, in a foreign country…?”

[This is my first time doing this after he died, so I can assure you that it is not at all what you think. For Hyun Se-rin’s honor.]

“But in the media…”

[Don’t trust the media. [Believe in association.]

“…….”

The Emperor clenched his fists tightly.

“Ha. I tried to contact him to ask about work at the auction house, but the story was completely different from the main topic…”

[How can a person just talk about work and then disappear? We spend time talking like this, and we build friendships.]

“I have no intention of becoming patriotic with a goblin just because I am friendly with him or because he is a man recognized by Serin!”

[I have no intention of forcing myself to do something with a woman who doesn’t want to do it with me, right?]

Even if you can skip a woman who says she’s coming.

I’m not that shameless, taking a woman who doesn’t want to come and forcing her to sit next to me.

[If I were that kind of villain, would I have been able to be here?]

“……That’s it. Let’s just ask the main point and end.”

Emperor the Terrible took his stance.

” Turning off the electricity is meaningless during the day, isn’t it? ”

[yes.]

I asked the Emperor to turn off the electricity and lights in the auction house for a while.

However, on this afternoon, and now that the location has been changed to a hotel under the Sunshade rather than a pre-determined location, the request made to the Emperor no longer has any meaning.

“I don’t know if blackout curtains are spread out at the auction house, but I haven’t confirmed that yet.”

[Then it would be the opposite.]

I pointed to the ceiling.

[The important thing is to temporarily disturb and block the view. I will teach you a magic technique that will make any strong enemy stop moving even for a moment.]

“……!”

also.

It seems that the Emperor of the Emperor’s approach in this way is the easiest to persuade.

“This ability…?”

[okay. It is an ability that I cannot use, but you can use. I only have a theory, but I think you can do it.]

“Well, is it okay for me to tell you that?”

[of course. If you build an association and cooperative relationship like this.]

The growth of the Emperor means that the foundation on which the organization can exert influence within Korea increases.

Even if I were to teach this technique to the Emperor, I would not suffer much damage.

This technology was already known to the world before the cataclysm.

[The method is like this, and in practice, you can do it like this. The target is….]

Explaining the goblin.

[…Do you understand?]

“…You are a very bad person.”

The Emperor looked at me with slightly disgusted eyes and gritted his teeth.

“How could you do something like that to an innocent person?”

[What if the person is guilty?]

“What?”

[On the outside, he seems like a good person, but in reality, he’s hiding a huge secret. That man, Do-ol… is the man who helped make Hyun Se-rin go abroad.]

“!!”

The Emperor’s expression changed in an instant.

“Are you sure?”

[of course. In the first place, you are the president of a media company. Who would have planned to criticize the women who left Korea by saying that they were traitors to the country, prostitutes, or that they left because they liked Western men? is not it?]

“…….”

[You don’t have to do it if you don’t want to. If you help, it will be of great help to the organization, but even if you don’t help, the situation can be created.]

“I will.”

The Emperor made a decision quickly.

“If it is for the greater good, and the target is a wicked person who deserves social condemnation, then there is no problem.”

The Emperor took a deep breath and played with his hair.

“…The process may be different, but the result is the same. One thing I learned. But I think I heard about this technology somewhere…”

[Originally, it was one of the contents in the preservation library that librarian Do Ji-hwan would teach to students.]

“Preservation library?”

[okay. This is one of the contents in the classics.]

I wondered if this was a story worthy of being censored and sent to the archives, but considering the story behind it, I think it could definitely go.

In the story, even the dead are resurrected several times, but it is a story about a death penalty that has been with the main character from the beginning of the story and dies from a blow from an EX-class alien that punctures the solar plexus.

[You can’t copy the name of the technique, but you can still get the effect.]

The method of manifestation is not through the Emperor himself, but through someone else.

[Listen carefully. The president of Haegeuneul Ilbo will also participate in the auction house. And the moment something changes in him.]

I pointed to the ceiling.

[Flash bang.]

The sparkling light will reach the president of Haeguneul Ilbo and spread in all directions.
