Episode 149
“Wow. “Is this New Korea’s Jeju Island?”
Ricky Harlis, who had crossed the warp gate, looked around and asked.
“It is one of the leading tourist destinations in New Korea.”
Ayoung spoke in a friendly manner, as if we had become close friends.
“Wow… I can’t believe there was such a pretty place.”
Ricky Harlis enjoyed the surrounding scenery while repeating Unbelievable.
The place where the three arrived was Jeju Island.
Among them, it was the Night Walker Disaster Support Center built at the foot of Hallasan Mountain.
“This way.”
Ayoung guided the two people with familiar steps.
There was a guild member waiting at the center entrance.
“It’s been a while since I’ve seen you, Guild Leader.”
“okay. “Nothing happened, right?”
“Is there anything special about Jeju Island?”
“What did you say?”
“It is currently operational. Are you going to use it right now?”
At the subordinate’s question, Ayoung turned to Taehyeon.
“What should I do?”
“There’s no harm in rushing.”
Ayoung nodded at Taehyun’s answer.
“That’s right. Please guide me right away.”
“All right. “Please come this way.”
“The air is really nice. “I want to take a good look at it.”
As soon as he entered the center, Ricky Harlis reacted with disappointment.
“Once this is over, let’s stay a little longer.”
“Hmm… Is that so?”
“Of course, unless you’re busy.”
“Hmm…”
“Hmm…”
At Taehyun’s words, both people’s expressions hardened at the same time.
Since we are all executives and leaders in the organizations we belong to, we are reminded of the things that will pile up when we return.
“Fuck….”
Ricky Hallis swore softly.
While the three people were talking about this and that, they arrived at the shelter.
It is a place created to prepare for unexpected situations.
Since it was not an emergency, it was just a large, circular indoor space.
Ricky Hallis tilted his head in a spacious space that could accommodate at least 5,000 people.
“here?”
Taehyun nodded.
“That’s surprising. “If it were a place, there would have been more places than here.”
“Well, when I think about everything, there is no place like this.”
It was a reasonable suspicion, but Taehyun just brushed it off.
Currently, there are three people who know that Taehyun’s skills are sealed.
The only ones are Alchemist’s Seo Sang-ik, Night Walker’s Yoo Ah-young, and America’s Ricky Hallis.
It has been confirmed that skills can be unlocked with time.
The problem came after the skill was unlocked.
It’s quiet right now, but I don’t know how the guy in the world of imagination will come out.
‘Just in case. If he takes over my body, things get complicated.’
Even if its strength is kept to a minimum, it is still an SS+ grade monster.
Worst case.
Such a person appears in Seoul, the capital of the new Korea.
Maybe it was more dangerous than breaking an unexplored dungeon.
Therefore, the place chosen was Jeju Island.
A place where you can prepare for the worst-case scenario without the attention of others.
furthermore.
“As you requested, a barrier capable of withstanding 250 strength and horsepower has been installed. “It may not happen, but there are double barriers installed in case the barrier collapses.”
Ayoung patted her shoulder after hearing the guild member’s report.
“I had a hard time directing. “Anything special about Alchemist?”
“They said this is the maximum at this point. They said they would provide a free warranty for up to 3 years.”
“okay. “Tell me how it works.”
“Directly… you mean?”
“That’s why I followed you in the first place.”
“All right. “Please come this way.”
While Ayoung learned how to operate the barrier and barrier, Taehyun and Ricky Harlis went inside.
“How long do you think it will take to release?”
“There were five skills left, right?”
Taehyun nodded.
She activated the skill ‘Canceler’ and Taehyun did not reject it but accepted the magic power.
I felt green magic stirring through my body.
“I guess it will take 15 hours, if you can afford it?”
“It’s going to be quite a long game.”
“But it will be different if you use this.”
Ricky Harlis took out various potions and magic amplification stones from the handbag he was carrying.
There were dozens of them.
“Is it really an infinite backpack?”
“then. We also have good production guilds in the United States. “This is the guy who paid a lot of money to request it.”
She seemed to be showing off a handbag with an expensive brand logo on it.
“Oh, and the potion money here will be refunded later. “First of all, I’m a salaried worker.”
“Of course I thought so. “More than that, can I ask you one more thing after the skill unlocking process is over?”
“hmm? as soon as?”
“yes.”
Taehyun told her the worst case scenario he was thinking of.
Her expression seemed to change strangely and then she nodded.
“good. “Because you have a debt to pay.”
“Thank you.”
“Then when do you plan to start work?”
“Nothing to delay. “Let’s get started right away.”
dump.
Taehyun sat cross-legged on the spot.
Ricky Hallis sat across from Taehyun.
“then. “Let’s try to concentrate.”
Her hand touched Taehyun and the full-scale skill unlocking process began.
* * *
Shanghai, China.
A high-rise building where you can enjoy the night view of Shanghai.
A secret drinking party was taking place there, with dozens of top players standing guard.
It was the meeting between China’s President Zheng Cheng and Liu Yiming, the newly inaugurated president of the Players Association.
“okay. “Is the position of president of the association worth it?”
“I just work and sacrifice my life for the President.”
“haha. Please work hard for our country, not for me. “I have known your abilities for a long time.”
Hearing Zheng Cheng’s words, Liu Yiming bowed his head once again.
He had become the new president of the association, along with the president of the association, Jeong Zhi, who was no different from the hands and feet of the government.
A connection called Jeongcheong and the skills of an S-rank intermediate player.
No one opposed him becoming president of the association.
“okay. “Do you have something else to tell me?”
Jeongcheong asked, emptying his glass.
Liu Yiming took out a small box from his pocket as if he had been waiting.
“What is that?”
In response to Zheng Cheng’s question, Liu Yiming showed the USB stick inside.
“This is data backed up by the Guangzhou Research Institute.”
“…!!”
Jeong Cheong’s face was colored with surprise at the unexpected words.
“Then this is….”
“Yes. “With just this, we can resume the demonization project as well as the development of biochemical weapons.”
“ha ha ha. That’s great. “As expected, my decision to choose you was not wrong.”
Zheng Cheng burst into laughter and filled Liu Yiming’s glass with alcohol.
What he was given was a top secret that was believed to have been lost along with Dungeon Break.
This is because it can be called a hidden card that can overcome the current situation that China is facing.
“thank you.”
Liu Yiming bowed his head in response to Zheng Cheng’s praise.
“If only we had this, the Americans wouldn’t be able to exert pressure like they do now. Hehehe… I’m excited just thinking about what kind of cards the White House will pull out.”
“Everything will go as you wish.”
At that time, the two people clinked glasses and a friendly atmosphere continued.
“I can’t listen to you anymore.”
“…!!”
“Who are you!!”
The source of the voice was behind the folding screen.
Jeong Cheong and Liu Yiming stood up at the same time due to the sudden appearance of popularity.
“How can you get here…bodyguard!! “What are the bodyguards doing?!”
Liu Yiming shouted, but no sound was heard outside.
“There’s no use yelling like that.”
“Nonsense….”
Suddenly.
Degururu.
The man swung his hand and Liu Yiming’s head was cut off.
The S-rank player died without any reaction.
“What is this…”
Jeongcheong stuttered, unable to understand what was happening.
This was because, as an ordinary C-rank awakened person, he could not even see the attack just now.
“There is no need to make noise. Take a seat. annotation.”
At the man’s command, Jeongcheong sat down with a humiliated expression.
First of all, I decided that I had to listen to the man’s orders.
The man pushed Liu Yiming’s body away with his feet and sat down.
A new glass was filled with alcohol.
“It’s a hot drink. “It’s different from the boring new Korea.”
“Hey hey. What do you want? Is it money? “I’ll give you as much as you want.”
Jeongcheong said, trying to calm his trembling voice.
The bodyguards who are already outside will not be safe.
In that case, it was as if her life belonged to the man in front of her.
The man chuckled at Jeong Cheong’s quick change of stance.
“It’s what you want. “You are holding it, aren’t you?”
The man pointed with his chin at the USB in Jeongcheong’s hand.
“This…”
“Don’t say no. “Unless that thing is more precious than your life.”
“….”
The thought didn’t last long.
Sigh.
Jeongcheong handed the box containing the USB to the man.
“Maybe it’s because he’s a politician, but he’s quick on his feet.”
“who are you…?”
“You don’t need to know. “If you want to know more, you have no choice but to kill me here?”
“Hey, hey, that’s not what I said…!!”
Looking at the embarrassed Jeongcheong, the man smirked and raised the corners of his mouth.
“It’s a good drink. “This drink saved your life.”
“….”
As if Jeong Cheong’s answer was not important.
The man emptied all the alcohol in the bottle.
“annotation. Enjoy the rest of your life. “A new world will come soon.”
That was the last time.
Sigh.
A shadow rose from somewhere and engulfed the man’s body.
In an instant, his presence disappeared from the room.
“Huh…”
Jeongcheong, who was left alone, sobbed.
Even if it were a dream, you would believe it.
But Liu Yiming’s body was soaked in a pool of blood.
It reminded me that what happened a little while ago was real.
* * *
A message suddenly appeared before Taehyun’s eyes.
Tiring.
[Skill Shadow Skin (AA) can be used.]
[Skill Lord’s World (AA) can be used.] [
Skill Binding Chains (AA) can be used.]
[Skill Queen’s Man ( AA) can be used.]
[The skill Complete Hypnosis (AA) can be used.]
This was the message I had been waiting for all along.
“Whew. “It’s finally over.”
Ricky Harlis stretched out his arms.
“good work.”
Taehyun said and checked the status window.
All skills were flashing as if they could be used.
“Whoa…”
Ricky Hallis, who drank the magic potion and fatigue potion, lay down on the floor.
I concentrated and controlled my magic power for nearly ten hours.
Even though she used potions and scrolls, if it had been anyone else, she would have been exhausted by now.
“what. “Are you done?”
Before I knew it, Ayoung, who had been watching from behind the barrier, came up and asked.
“I got all my skills back.”
“then?”
“Now we have to test the money we spent here.”
“…?”
Ayoung looked like she didn’t know what she was talking about, and Ricky Hallis, who exchanged a look with Taehyun, nodded.
I remembered Taehyun’s second request.
“Both of you, please go out and activate the barrier and barrier.”
“What are you trying to do?”
Ayoung asked, not yet understanding the situation.
“Once you get your skills back, you should try them out.”
“…?”
“now. I’ll explain it to you. “Let’s go out now, Guild Leader Yoo Ah-young.”
Ricky Harlis took Ayoung outside.
After a while.
As Taehyun requested, the barrier and blocking wall were activated.
Jiiiing.
Cooung. Cooung.
A barrier and specially designed barrier that can withstand a whopping 250 strength and horsepower.
Taehyun spent tens of billions of dollars to prepare for just such an emergency.
‘I hope the moment when these are needed never comes, but…’
Who can be sure of an uncertain future?
Taehyun stood in front of the full-length mirror installed on one wall.
Tiring.
[Use the skill Complete Hypnosis (AA). [Specify the target.]
Taehyun’s eyes reflected in the mirror turned red.
‘Now that I think about it, is this the first time I’ve used a skill on myself?’
My mouth went dry as I thought about what would happen in a moment.
To regain full control of your body.
Now it was time to face him.
‘Wait, damn you.’
My consciousness began to become hazy after being under ‘complete hypnosis’.
