4 a.m.

This is the time when some people sleep deeply and others become most tired.

Whether you are a person who is deep in sleep or someone who has stayed up all night, 4 a.m. is the time when humans are at their weakest.

“Huh….”

The president, Tae Chae-jin, looked at the clock showing 4 o’clock and covered his face with his hands.

“I’m going crazy.”

There is no schedule for tomorrow.

There is no one to meet in particular, and there is one meeting with the chief secretaries, but when they see the president now, they will suggest, ‘Let’s change to tea.’

“It’s complicated, it’s complicated.”

Hundreds of pages of documents were piled up in front of the president.

The President’s handwriting remained intact on all of the documents, and it was only after finishing checking the last page a little while ago that the President was able to catch his breath.

“President of the Association.”

“Yes, Mr. President.”

The president of the association, who had as many documents at his desk as the president, sipped coffee with bloodshot eyes.

Even though it was 4 in the morning, he had to drink coffee.

“Did I become president for this reason? I feel a sense of shame…”

“I don’t know what it is, but those words seem like something dangerous.”

“…Anyway, the position of president is not easy. Or is it because it is related to association?”

The data in front of them were analog data given by a member of the organization through a deal with a goblin.

Handwritten materials can be destroyed at any time, and burning rather than shredding is more certain.

In it, the evil deeds of those who could be called ‘villains’ from the perspective of one organization, including the previous regime and Sunshade, were listed without exception.

It’s already been 6 hours since I started reviewing the content.

Everyone else left work, but the two people who remained in the president’s office had to check documents for as long as six hours.

“Should I check this one more time when I wake up tomorrow morning?”

“Mr. President. The days have already passed. It’s already 4 am.”

“…Is it today? Ha, I’m really excited.”

The President gritted his teeth in a pained voice.

“It is said that it is to erase dark history, but in order to do so, one must be aware of the evil deeds of others, but I could not have imagined that the darkness of the world would have been so deep and dark.”

“What the organization wants is to know this and deal with it. All of this is the darkness that has existed in the process of this country becoming the world’s greatest superpower. You must accept it.”

“Okay. I have to accept it. For the people who have suffered unfairly because of these people, and for those who will live on this earth in the future.”

Although they wanted to close their eyes and throw themselves on the bed immediately due to fatigue, the two picked up the documents again with a sense of duty.

“We will review the work until December 2024 this afternoon. First of all, in addition to the current problem centered on goblins, what is happening behind the scenes of the World Cup…”

Beep beep.

The two people’s Taegeuk watches rang at the same time.

It was a very sudden ringing, and I was even more embarrassed because it sounded something that shouldn’t have sounded.

“This is…?”

“No, why is this guy…?”

Beep beep.

The two people put their hands on the Taegeuk Watch and then pointed it straight at the TV.

[Sorry for the delay, Mr. President. And the president of the association.]

“Gwangikong? Were you not sleeping?”

The person who appeared on the TV screen was Gwangikgong in pajamas.

After winning the quarterfinals and finishing interviews and events that lasted until midnight, he had a serious look on his face when he should have been keeping his eyes peeled for the game that will be held a few days later.

[I was sleeping, but I received an urgent call and contacted you two.]

“Urgent contact?”

[This is a communication from Black Wing Gong. It is said that an emergency situation has occurred.]

” Speaking of black wings….”

The two people simultaneously picked up a bundle of papers.

“You were clearly a consultant for the ‘Spicy Gwangikkong’ prepared for S-class heroes, but in reality, you were consulting on Goblin’s behalf, right?”

“Although all of the S-class have heard harsh words from the Black Winggong, I know that it definitely helped develop their abilities… Isn’t that just another status of a goblin?”

On the desk.

While various incidents and accidents were recorded, some files were filled with information about numerous identities of one person.

“If the situation is urgent enough to contact you through Black Wing Gong…”

“Is it possible that someone became a devil because of the victory of the Heavenly Demon? No, I’m monitoring the investment in real time right now? You were drinking and singing alone at a coin karaoke room earlier, but then you went into your room and collapsed?”

[This is a completely different story. Although it is related to the Heavenly Demon, it is an urgent matter that is happening in real time.]

It was so urgent that Gwangikong must have called at 4 a.m. without warning.

“…What is it?”

Understanding that, the two couldn’t help but become more and more afraid.

What on earth is trying to come out of that mouth?

[Currently, close to 10 million refugees from another world are expected to enter Pyongyang.]

“……??”

The president was confused.

[I received the message. There is still time, so I will give you a detailed explanation in the shortest possible time…]

“…Crazy.”

As soon as Gwangikgong’s explanation was over, the president of the association burst out in anger.

“The illegitimate son of the Kim Dynasty in North Korea used his son, an S-class earthman, to establish an underground kingdom in inland China, kidnapped Koreans, made them give birth to children, and then created a country by brainwashing them?”

“And now that country has been destroyed, and the children who knew the underground world as everything in the world will pass through a 2,000km tunnel under the sea and come to Hwanghae?”

[yes.]

“…….”

The two had a hunch.

“…I’m not good at sleeping.”

“…Where on earth are the goblins, what are they doing, and why do they always cause these ridiculous incidents?”

[that. If I were to make an excuse on behalf of Black Wing Kong.]

Gwangikkong continued speaking with a bitter smile.

[Accidents are not caused by oneself, but because there are so many rotten villains in this world. I think a black wing would probably say that.]

“…How many trashy things have happened in this world?”

“Mr. President. Rather…”

“I know. I just wanted to escape reality.”

The president suddenly missed the beginning of the year, having not spoken about it even once since the Pyongyang explosion.

“There are 10 million refugees. Ha, haha, hahahaha…!”

* * *

Although it was a very dangerous operation, there was no choice in order to escape from the underground.

If we went up to the surface, we would go directly to inland China, so we couldn’t respond directly, and there was a possibility that those who escaped from underground would be ‘cleaned up’ by others.

So, although it was a little risky, we planned a grand escape that was dangerous enough that anyone would say, ‘What on earth were you thinking when you did this?’

And the escape plan was surprisingly successful.

Thanks to the talented person who is pushing the ‘current’ with me at the end of the underground passage.

Shoot!!

Strongly pushes forward the magical shield spread out in front.

The protective shield that fills the entire passage receives the power of the water of Cheonghae Lake pouring from behind and moves forward, pushing out the air pockets along with the water in front.

[Think of yourself as a piston.]

“I know even if you don’t say it!”

The masked man – the blue comet, stretched out his hands to the left and right of the shield and continued to generate magical power.

Towards the back, the water from Cheonghae Lake was pulled to keep flowing in, and to the front, the current was pushed to push out all of the tens of millions of air pockets.

A strong current that only flows in one direction.

As they tried to submerge the entire island where 150 million people live, this mysterious blue comet has the ability to control water, rivaling that of the strongest ‘Blue Rider’.

[yes. If you are a man, even if you are pushed, you must have the strength to push back to the end.]

“Strange sound!”

[It’s not a strange sound, it’s a statement that makes this situation easier and more efficient. A magic phrase to strengthen your abilities.]

The blue comet bit its lower lip and glared at me.

Although I couldn’t see his expression clearly because of the mask, I could clearly see his face as if it were some kind of nonsense.

[Common sense tells us that it makes no sense to push a 2,000 km long undersea tunnel from back to front. But that’s why I’m concretizing the image in my head even more. This is ‘nothing’ and ‘it can be done.’]

“Is this advice?”

[If you take it as advice, it will become flesh and blood, but if you think it is nonsense, it will become advice.]

As people with different abilities have different egos, what one person thinks is the right method may not always be the right method for someone else.

[By expressing themselves verbally, people with special abilities can clearly capture the image. And images embodied in the mind can have a stronger influence on reality.]

“…….”

[Would you like to try an experiment?]

I pointed to the piles of air pockets rolling in the water current, and the blue comet stretched out both hands in the direction of the flow.

“Then.”

The blue comet seemed to remember something, and stretched out its feet behind the shield as if swimming.

“Tank truckㅡㅡ!!”

[……..]

Wasn’t that meant to be crushed?

I wanted to, but

‘If you tackle, this ability weakens.’

As I watched the current getting stronger and the air pocket rolling forward even faster, I kept my mouth shut.

‘The important thing is performance. It’s efficiency.’

I barely swallowed the words that were up to my chin that it was not a tank truck but something else.

‘I’ll have to tell you later when I arrive.’

It’s not a tank lorry.
