36 – Chapter 2. Demon Seed (5)

At that time, somewhere on Sejong Island.

“Chief. The internal magic reaction is lost. The assailant seems to have disappeared.”

In the dark, a closed room filled with only the light of the blue monitor screen.

While people in white uniforms were collecting and arranging data diligently in front of a computer, a black-haired man in a white uniform, a little different from the others, frowned and raised his glasses.

“Damn it….”

Even though he had a nervous and sharp expression, his expression was frowned on, so he was afraid that anyone would dare to speak to him.

The name hanging on his nameplate is ‘Pungbaek’.

“What is the identity of the raider?”

“That, that’s it.”

“You mean you haven’t checked yet? Magical pattern analysis? At least CCTV?”

“Everyone was killed right before transmission. As you know, they shut down the facility before the data came over…”

“So you’re saying that now we have our eyes open and our noses cut?”

Poongbaek snorted as if it was ridiculous.

“The place where the demon experiment is located has been attacked! All the staff inside have lost their vitality response! But, are the answers now ‘I don’t know’, ‘Insufficient information’, or ‘I’m checking’?”

Poongbaek pointed his finger downward and raised a blood vessel in his neck.

“Since when did these incompetent people become the people of the ‘government’? Huh? How can they sit here and eat 3,000 a month with such ability! Without properly checking a single intruder!”

“Pungbaek the Elder. That, this is a family.”

“What?”

“…Isn’t it a goblin?”

“……Hoo?”

Poongbaek, who was heated by his subordinate’s words, opened his eyes.

“Are you the only person who can block the flow of information like this?”

“Yes. Paradoxically, only goblins can hide their identities this thoroughly.”

“The basis?”

“The grounds are that the raid was suddenly carried out without any response from the intruders, or that all were exterminated before the researchers could send an emergency signal, or that the chief researcher managed to activate only the facility destruction protocol and the flooding protocol.”

“Hmm…”

Poongbaek rubbed his chin with his hand and twisted the corners of his mouth.

“Still, it’s very strange. If it’s the goblin I know, it shouldn’t even have collapsed at all. Even if the goblin annihilates all the villains, they don’t act so unsmart.”

Poongbaek always tilted his head.

“If he was the guy I know, he would have killed our researchers before he hit the self-destruct switch. If he innocently attacked the research facility, the research facility would not self-destruct, only the people should have their bioreactions cut off.”

“Maybe someone else broke in?”

“Someone else…?”

“Yes. The one who recently challenged us…”

“Ah, those bowing party bastards?”

Poongbaek sat down on a chair with a serious face.

“The intruders of Hwalbindang and the goblins overlapped? Could there be such a coincidence in the world?”

“But if that’s not the case, wouldn’t the current situation be explained?”

“I don’t think it fits the situation too well… Tsk.”

Poongbaek raised both hands high.

“Damn it. Whatever happens. First, log in to the community and start monitoring. If there is something about the devil, report it immediately, block it, and spread rumors that Hwalvindang is plotting something using the devil.”

“All right!”

The subordinates started tapping the keyboard quickly in unison, and Poongbaek looked at them and muttered softly.

“…Those who don’t even have this ability should be of help at least. Tsk.”

In a small voice that no one can hear.

“Ha ha. We need to ‘enlighten’ those who haven’t even awakened quickly.”

No one heard his voice.

* * *

I got out of the underground through an emergency exit similar to a long undersea passage.

Iron pudduck.

After setting the stunned Malttugi down on the beach, I checked to see if Malttugi might have drowned.

‘There’s no need for CPR or artificial respiration.’

If you are a person with S-class abilities, you can survive underwater without breathing.

It depends on the level of magical power, but in my case, I can survive without an oxygen tank for about 30 minutes.

It’s not like he’s a psychic, but he’s completely submerged in the water and can’t come out for the rest of his life.

‘I don’t know where it is because I don’t have a Taegeuk Watch, but it’s true that it’s Sejong Island.’

The shape of the terrain, the reverberation of the magical energy felt around, and even the soldiers wandering around.

It must have escaped to a controlled area where access by the general public is prohibited with a high probability.

In other words, Malttugi must have invaded through the sea.

‘Is it a coincidence that the timing coincided with mine?’

Did you really accidentally raid the devil’s seed lab at the same timing as me?

There is something.

If there’s nothing, that’s weird.

We’ll have to wake up Malttugi to find out-

[Well.]

I checked the water-soaked body up and down.

It seems that the clothes are drenched in the sea water, but the physique is much smaller than I thought.

Fortunately or unfortunately, it wasn’t what I thought it was.

‘It’s a man.’

I thought it was a woman because the feeling I felt when I was momentarily lifted up on my shoulder was quite soft, but looking at the condition of the wet upper body, it seems that it is not.

‘Poor guy.’

Among men, sometimes there are many people who have a body that says ‘why is this a man’ rather than being a man.

Malttugi seems to be similar to him.

It was probably the kind of body that dangerous people over there would like if they took a picture of themselves and posted it, or just a picture.

I didn’t see it with my own eyes, but I judged it by looking at the clothes, but I’m sure it’s not.

‘His voice, his actions and way of speaking, and his hair is short.’

Maybe this is a tomboy that is popular these days or something.

Of course, male or female, gender doesn’t matter.

Gender is not a very important issue in our association.

What matters is ability and character.

And can the association properly follow the instructions of the superior in conquering the world?

[If you plan to join the society later, contact me.]

I took out my business card and spoke softly to it as if in a whisper.

[If you want to join the society, send an e-mail to the address on the business card there. Then, people will find out for themselves in the association.]

Lee Mae-mang-ryang, special executive, goblin.

Even if it’s not an official mail, leaving the window with the association may be a problem later, but the association is not a friendly organization enough to be fooled by playing around with contact mail in business cards.

[If you play a joke with the email address in the business card at the Hwalbindang, then I will go and destroy the Hwalbindang.]

He’s still passed out, but he seems to be coming to his senses now, so it’s time to step back.

[Remember. That I will kill all the villains who harm the peace of the world, whether it’s the Hwangbindang or whatever.]

I put down a business card next to Malttugi.

So what about the conclusion?

if someone says

‘The purpose of the association is not to threaten world peace, but to conquer the world.’

Ah, it’s different, it’s different, but it’s a completely different thing.

-There are too many evil people in the world.

The gunman didn’t just make an association out of a clumsy idea.

-I will become the king of the earth, and I will make sure there is no more war on this earth.

If Hwalbindang are the ones who get in the way of the world created by the gunman?

The next thing to be destroyed will be Hwalbindang, not the Devil Lab.

[then.]

“Cough, Cough…!”

I left the seat, away from Malttugi, who was coughing and starting to come to his senses.

* * *

after a while

“…… Coke.”

Malttugi, who barely came to his senses, pressed his face with his hand.

“…?!”

The mask is covered.

And he is looking up at the starry night sky.

“What, what is this…?”

Malttugi recalled the situation before he passed out.

The seawater seeped in through the passage he entered, and he passed out due to a strong shock coming from behind.

I have no memory of anything after that.

You can only understand the situation you are in right now.

“This…?”

A black business card placed next to him.

It was clearly the goblin’s, with letters embedded in gold leaf.

[Afterwards….]

“Hick…?”

The goblin’s voice is heard.

Perhaps he left his voice and voice as magic on his business card, and the goblin left suggestions and warnings in a serious voice.

Suggestions to come in.

And a warning that he won’t let you go if you disturb him next time.

“…I can’t do that.”

Malttugi got up and tidied up his clothes.

“…….”

click.

Taking off the hat along with the mask, Malttugi brushed his wet hair with his hand and took a deep breath.

“…Ugh.”

Malttugi, who took off his mask and was revealed, was quite tender-

“You didn’t do anything strange…?”

It was a woman.

Beep Big.

A sound began to echo from Malttugi’s wrist.

Malttugi quickly grabbed his wrist and carefully operated a smartwatch similar to a Taegeuk watch on his wrist.

[Are you okay? What happened?]

“Ah, boss.”

Through the small screen of the smartwatch, a dark brown-skinned man wearing sunglasses appeared.

“…I missed the target. The goblin appeared first.”

[What? goblin?]

“Yes. The situation is…”

Malttugi quickly revealed what he had been through to the man.

[Right.]

The man in sunglasses ran his hand through his hair.

[Return to position. And until there are instructions, for the time being, do your duty as a ‘student’.]

“Okay. But…are you okay? I couldn’t get any evidence.”

[Okay.]

The bald black man gave a thumbs up.

[Because our purpose was to contact the goblins.]

“…What? Wait a minute, Captain, isn’t that what I used to know?”

[sorry. I cheated on you.]

“…….”

[A goblin is a suitable person for our Hwangbindang. I will teach you the real mission. From now on, somehow bring the goblin into our Hwalbindang. If the goblins are on our side.]

The man, ‘Hong Gil-dong’, grinned, revealing his white dry teeth.

[It will be of great help in creating Yuldo-guk, a country where people of mixed race can live as citizens of this country, a country where black skin is not discriminated against.]
