Chapter 160
Episode 160
: It’s a name I’ve heard before. And he’s a person who doesn’t have good feelings for me. But there was no hostility in the eyes looking at me now.
It’s a different image from the people I’ve seen so far, isn’t it? Judging by the rumors I’ve heard, I don’t think it would be surprising if they started chewing me up right away.
What if it was me? It must have gone out of hand right away.
Crrr!
At that time, the dog looked at Wei Hao and took a guarded stance.
To come forward without knowing the topic. It’s a perfect action to die for.
No, should I think of this as a good thing? Even though his own strength was not enough, he came forward for his master.
It occurred to me that I should treat the puppy to a special meal sometime.
“Stay still.”
But since it was not the time to step forward now, I calmed down. The dog purred fiercely a few times, then calmed down and stood next to me.
I looked at Yu Hao.
“Why are you here?”
“mission. And I knew you would be here.”
Is there a spy in Korea?
There is only one most likely reason for coming to see me.
“Is it revenge?”
“What revenge?”
“Isn’t that the other guy who came to take revenge?”
“Why should I care about the deaths of such useless people?”
I guess not.
No, it went beyond that and a feeling of disdain was coming out.
Well, superhumans might not get along well.
“Rather than that… you’re quite fluent in Korean, right?”
Yu Hao and I were conversing in Korean. It can be said that he studied on purpose, but he was as proficient as a local. Even if I said I lived in Korea, I would have believed it.
Well, I guess it’s none of my business.
Returning to the main topic, I looked around.
“Where did this guy here go?”
“I would have gone to the league. “I’ve been in contact with the league for a long time.”
A pseudo guy in the league? It was a different development from what I knew in my last life. At that time, he was intoxicated with his taste for pride and was on the verge of founding his own kingdom.
Did history change because of me and send him to the league? I don’t know how things are going.
The pseudo guy is a pain in the ass, so you have to deal with him while he’s in sight, but a series of unexpected things happen.
Of course, this is assuming that everything Wei Hao says is true.
[I guess that’s right? I don’t think you’re lying.]
If you say this, Yongyong’s lie detector will be activated.
In fact, even with my intuition, it didn’t seem like Yu Hao was lying.
“Why did he go to the league?”
“I was planning to deal with him. “I think I sensed that.”
“I did something useless.”
If I had stayed still, I would have taken care of it myself. This pseudo guy is quite annoying. The best thing to do would be to find him right where he is and kill him.
“I think the same thing. “I found him after seeing him in contact with Wang Min.”
But it’s not strange that this guy Wei Hao thinks of me as his enemy, so why does he accept it so obediently?
The reason is revealed in the following words.
“I don’t care about that guy. Because the reason I tried to catch him in the first place was to hand him over to you. “Actually, I found you.”
“Why me?”
Are you dissatisfied with being eliminated from Teenage Superhumans?
For that matter, there is no hostility. If it were me, I would have taken action as soon as I found the guy I was feeling sorry for. Good things cannot be tolerated.
That means there is another plan.
“First of all, I don’t feel sorry for you.”
“You have no regrets about losing a title you will be proud of for the rest of your life?”
A passing dog stops pooping. Ah, the doggo is a wolf, so its habits are a bit different.
“Being a pre-teen is not an important value to me. No, I don’t even know what is valuable to me in the first place.”
“What are you talking about?”
“I’ll show you the evidence.”
What are you talking about?
But what he did next surprised me.
The guy who quickly closed the distance approached me and stuck his head out to me.
You have no will to fight?
“Touch it.”
[uh? That is.]
Yongyong reacted, and I was able to discover something strange as well. My hand went out before I was wary of him.
My hand was placed on his head. If you apply this much force, your head will explode.
He blindly entrusted his life to me, whom he met for the first time. If this is the case, I want to live up to your expectations and explode my head.
What made me suppress my impulse was the response of a familiar creature that passed beyond my senses. The thing in Yu Hao’s mind is a creature I’ve seen before.
“loneliness?”
“I guess you were the one who dealt with Nangunggi.”
Why are you suddenly bringing up stories from the past? I didn’t answer because I didn’t want to reveal what I had done with Namgunggi.
“Why are you showing me this?”
“I belong to China, but I am not Chinese.”
Does it make sense for him to be a superhuman representing China even though he is not Chinese?
“My father is Mongolian and my mother is Korean. “My mother is from Namyangju, Gyeonggi-do.”
This is an unexpected story because he is a Chinese superhuman without any Chinese blood.
But it’s a story that has nothing to do with me. Whether a Chinese adept has Chinese blood or not is meaningless.
After all, China is a multi-ethnic country.
“whatever?”
“I am saying that my position is different from that of the Chinese influential people who feel sorry for you. “Then we can start talking.”
A few facts were revealed through his words.
First of all, they are not protecting China arbitrarily. It was highly likely that Yu Hao had bad feelings about China and was driven by loneliness.
Since there is no one to trust inside, there is a high probability that they found me.
The highest possibility here is….
“I think you, who have multiple gifts, can eliminate this loneliness.”
As expected, he was looking for a way to make himself normal.
There was a rumor all over town.
Actually, I acted without any intention to hide it, so it is not strange for it to become known.
however.
I don’t know what that guy believes and does.
“Why do I have to do it?”
“…I will work for you if you give me my freedom back.”
Even though there are many controversies, Yu Hao is one of the top ten superhumans. I said this because I thought it would definitely sound attractive to me, but why doesn’t it sound attractive to me?
If that were the case, I would have accepted Lee Chan-taek’s offer.
“I do not need.”
“I thought that might be the case. “Then what can you do to set me free?”
“Is there really a need for that?”
“…!”
“I can’t trust you when you tell me you’re not from China or when you do anything else. “If you want to borrow my power, do something that will reveal your true feelings and then come to me.”
There is no reason for you to decide what I should do.
It’s a matter for him to take care of.
“It is an action that can buy faith. All you have to do is prove it. i get it.”
“If you’re done with your business, go.”
“I’ll call you again.”
At my gesture, Yu Hao nodded and left the place. Left alone in the prayer room, I followed the traces of the cult guy. Thought there might be some traces that would lead me to follow.
“Is it still difficult?”
Because so much time had passed, there were only a few traces left. After moving from place to place and exploring a few more places, I gave up following the traces.
A pseudo-guy is borrowing the league’s power. I think it will be a pain in the ass for many people.
[huh? “You’re not a pain in the ass?]
“Why am I a pain in the ass? “It’s not like he appears in front of me.”
[and! Are you not even thinking about the harm that other people will suffer?]
“Uh.”
[….]
Yongyong stuck out his tongue and shook his head. Anyone who sees it may think that I am just passing by when I see injustice.
Having failed to follow the trail, I left Sinuiju and headed toward Pyongyang.
Although I failed to catch the pseudo guy, my meeting with Yu Hao was quite meaningful.
Much of what he said seemed to be true. Otherwise, the loneliness that was not seen in other Chinese superhumans would not have been implanted in Wei Hao’s head.
“I remember things like that only appeared in martial arts novels.”
I don’t know what kind of method it is, but I thought it would be very useful if I could force action through solitude.
But it was amazing. When I used it on monsters, it ended up not being able to withstand its repulsion and exploded, but it can be used as a control method on humans.
Maybe I should have caught him and split his head open. No, since it is a one-of-a-kind target, if you tried to look into everything, you would not have achieved proper results.
He didn’t look like he was going to give up easily, so I’ll have a chance to see him again soon.
When I returned to Pyongyang two days after leaving, Chung Ju-ho greeted me with an expression that did not please me at all.
“Have you finished your business?”
“Yeah, there’s nothing.”
“I was in vain.”
Jeong Joo-ho let out a laugh and shifted his gaze to the documents. He didn’t seem to have the slightest will to deal with me.
You must have been very disappointed.
“Aren’t you going?”
“I want to stay for a few days.”
“why?”
“There is a general election coming soon. “There are so many people who are bothering me, so I’ll go back after the election.”
“The actions of those who are blinded by power. After all, even I in Pyongyang are bothering to clean up the caves, so you must be embarrassed. “Do whatever you want.”
That’s the end of worrying about it.
I was curious about who Jung Joo-ho supports politically. I say I am neutral, but I think my opinion has changed since it has been used heavily in this administration.
“Isn’t there anyone you support?”
“Are you sure?”
“You may have changed your mind.”
“I don’t know, so screw you both.”
Is it because I lost hope in my hair? Jeong Joo-ho had become pessimistic.
Well, it won’t become more crooked for no reason, right?
I was a little worried about that.
* * *
A cult leader who established his own religious sect in Sinuiju and ruled like a king.
His name is Jang In-seong, and he is the son of a Han Chinese father and a Korean-Chinese mother.
He abandoned his entire base at the League’s invitation and was able to see the League’s rulers who had thrown the world into chaos.
A handsome man like you’d see in a movie took the lead, followed by a black man over 2 meters tall who radiated a fierce force that made your spine tingle just by looking at him.
These are Argos and Blackhound, members of the Three Evils that dominate the league.
It was disappointing not to see the Hell Master, but that can be saved for later.
Jang In-seong stood up with a bright smile and said hello.
“I see the ruler of a great league. My name is Jang Inseong. “Please feel free to call me Jang.”
“Nice to meet you, Jang. Thank you for coming a long way.”
“How could I refuse the league’s call? “Thank you for having me.”
The sharp gaze of the black hound standing behind pierced his skin, but Jang In-seong smiled.
However, my body’s reaction was honest and my whole body was shaking like an aspen.
Argos smiled.
“How do you feel about coming?”
“I was surprised by the more comfortable atmosphere than I expected, and I was surprised again by how recharged my morale was. “I was able to see how the league’s prestige was spreading across the world.”
“Thank you for watching. however.”
Argos, who was smiling, gazed into Jang In-seong’s eyes. The two did not talk for a while and continued their nervous battle to find out what was inside each other.
“Are you using the gift now to test me?”
“Did you notice? ha ha ha! “I thought you didn’t know.”
“Is that a will?”
The black hound seemed to have noticed, too, and gave off a cold, murderous look.
Jang In-seong had been using brainwashing ever since he saw Argos.
Brainwashing through gaslighting hidden in praise was a gift that could bring the other person under one’s control.
If it worked, it could devour the league, but it wasn’t easy against superhumans who were also on guard.
“Heinz stop.”
The black hound showed signs of dissatisfaction with Argos’ restraint, but did not take action.
“How do you feel about using the gift?”
“I understand why it’s called a league. “I also know that you are not someone I can overlook.”
Jang Inseong grinned. The more it happened, the more brutal the Black Hound became.
“If I want to get a high position in the league, I need that kind of performance, right?”
“It is the philosophy of the league that players are treated according to their skills and given authority according to their achievements.”
“yes. So, I plan to take on the league’s most troublesome enemies and aim for the top spot in the Zodiac.”
“What is it?”
When Argos showed interest, Jang In-seong paused for a moment and said with a smile.
“I will brainwash Choi Jun-ho.”
“….”
It was a suggestion that made Argos and Black Hound exchange glances for a moment.
You hit the mark.
Jang In-seong heard about Choi Jun-ho’s reputation to the point that it was painful to hear.
So much so that it can be said that he is the league’s most reluctant enemy.
How could it be that a league power would not be able to establish itself in East Asia?
This is all because of Choi Jun-ho’s presence.
“Choi Jun-ho is an old enemy of the league. I understand that its presence does not allow it to project power into East Asia. “Choi Jun-ho doesn’t know my face. So, I will approach him, brainwash him with my gift, and take him under my control.”
“Is that possible?”
“Does it seem impossible?”
Jang In-seong’s words were strange, but considering that Choi Jun-ho did not know his face due to his brainwashing gift, I thought that the plan might be possible.
Even if it fails, the league has nothing to lose.
Argus, lost in thought for a moment, accepted.
“Let me believe it.”
“I will live up to your expectations.”
Jang Inseong said with a confident expression.
