Chapter 317
Episode 317:
Li Junming’s mouth, once closed, did not know how to open.
The problem is that the silence is longer than I expected.
You’ll probably be worried.
The Heavenly Demon Armor is a monster created by the Confederate Army. He created a monster’s heart using something strange called a biological core and transplanted it into the monster, succeeding in giving birth to a two-horned monster.
Here, the biological core is the squeezed and condensed force of the awakened person. I think that awakened people who rebelled against the party, awakened people from other countries, or prisoners of war were probably used.
Or not.
The mass of force squeezed out in this way was transplanted into the heart of the monster and grew until it reached the fighting horn stage.
The problem is that the two-horned monster refused to control them. Other than this, it would be true that it was a satisfactory result.
However, officially, the Confederate Army was denying that it was they who created the Cheonma Armor.
It is only natural that if you admit this, you will be held responsible for using monsters to eliminate your own people.
But that doesn’t work for me.
Everyone must be clear in front of me.
Whether you did it or not.
From the beginning, there was no way out with ambiguous words.
I think Li Junming’s thoughts deepened when he saw my momentum.
If you can’t make a decision, I’ll have to make it for you.
“….”
“You haven’t decided?”
“It takes time. “I’ll check to see if I know anything from above.”
“I’ve already given you a lot.”
“…Even if I don’t know, my country may know. “Please.”
I’m just going to talk about it anyway, so is there any need to listen to my story?
I thought so, but Cheon Myeong-guk seems to think differently.
“Of course. “I can’t give you much time.”
“yes. thank you.”
Li Junming, with an urgent expression, left his seat, and Cheon Myeong-guk looked at me with a much calmer expression.
“Is that what you wanted from the beginning?”
“yes.”
“Please tell me in advance. “Even if I become president, I don’t want to see bloody stool.”
Cheon Myeong-guk speaks with a very pitiful expression.
Was the matter I mentioned really that serious?
“I didn’t think it was very important.”
“Isn’t that the standard for a superhuman? This is a huge number for me. “Isn’t this something to do with Plus Plus level monsters?”
I don’t think the two-horned monster is that difficult to me anymore.
Anyway, I guess that’s my standard.
“We will try to share it in advance in the future.”
“I hope you don’t try and tell me in advance.”
“I will try.”
“haha! “I miss President Jeon Han-cheol.”
“The current president is the president.”
“That is correct.”
Cheon Myeong-guk, who sighed and shook his head as if it wasn’t the answer he was looking for, asked me with an expression that gave up everything.
“Do you plan to remove that facility?”
It’s obvious.
“When peace returns, it is obvious that we will turn our attention elsewhere. People naturally tend to think differently when they have free time. “You can quit the boring war of attrition and gather all your strength to create the second Heavenly Demon Armor.”
Of course, it is best to cut off those buds in advance.
I had no intention of letting the itching in the back of my head go away.
“That would be better for the government.”
“Yes, but I wonder if the other person will accept it and come out willingly…”
“The other person’s decision is not important.”
“That’s right. I was mistaken. you’re right. “Their permission is not important.”
Because I was the one moving anyway. The decision, as always, is mine.
I was just wondering whether he would admit it directly or take a step back.
“They will deny it. “This is because the moment they admit that they created the Heavenly Demon Armor, they are throwing away all justification.”
“Then isn’t that a good thing?”
“yes? Why…are you really going to kill them all?”
Why are you asking such an obvious question?
“If we eliminate the research institute, our competitiveness will probably fall several levels further than it is now.”
“…Of course, someone will die unintentionally, but since ancient times, when China was divided and weakened, opportunities would come to us. “There is no excuse for them because they are not doing the right thing.”
Still, it is a just kingdom, but it is willing to compromise for the national interest.
If the president pushes me like this, I feel at ease.
I decided to wait in peace to see what results Li Junming would bring.
* * *
“After inquiring with our home country, we received a reply that it was not related.”
Li Junming asked me what we were discussing with a rather confident expression.
I expected it to be like this.
Regardless of whether you are a close friend or not, the most important thing in the end is your country’s interests. Li Junming probably thought that hiding the Heavenly Demon Armor facility was in his country’s interest.
If so, you just have to take responsibility for that decision.
“Then can we assume that the Heavenly Demon Armor production facility has nothing to do with the Confederate Army?”
“…That’s right.”
“Even if that place is destroyed, it probably has nothing to do with it.”
“….”
“Why are you doing this when an unrelated place has been destroyed?”
“You are right. However, I don’t think indiscriminate destruction is right. “I think the first thing to do is check what principles it is working on and what kind of research is being done.”
That’s what I came up with after a lot of hard work.
I can tell what the plan is just by looking at it.
You’re trying to buy time.
It might be effective if it were used on me before obtaining high-speed flight, but it is currently a meaningless strategy.
“It is difficult to understand that this is a facility where monsters that massacred countless people of their own people came from.”
“I am saying this with the thought that we can prevent recurrence only if we understand the detailed truth.”
Humans are truly amazing animals. Even though I know that there is no way I can be persuaded by such sophistry, I see that he keeps talking like that until the end.
[So, humans are stupid.]
What is the intention of suddenly saying that all humans are stupid?
[Because that’s what humans are like. It is unusual for a person like you to appear.]
I don’t know if this is a compliment or an insult.
Anyway, what I want to say is that everything Li Junming says is nonsense.
Then you can’t hold me responsible for everything that happens from now on.
Destruction without responsibility reminds me of when I first became a civil servant hunter.
I turned all the people who were interfering with official duties into half-assholes.
There was excessive suppression and all, but as a result, Lee Se-hee was supplied with a useful recovery agent, so it was quite a fun time.
“I understand very well that it has nothing to do with your return. I’ll take care of the rest. “I have urgent business to attend to, so I’ll stop by.”
“Now just a moment…!”
Li Junming tried to grab me, but I ignored him and came out.
* * *
Choi Jun-ho left and the atmosphere became cold.
President Cheon Myung-guk decided that the conversation could not continue in this atmosphere and declared a short break.
An aide followed Li Junming, who had moved from his seat.
“It will be okay. “We have plenty of time.”
“hmm. It would certainly be nice if that happened, but it wouldn’t be easy. “The reason you just left wasn’t to attack the lab, right?”
“Probably not. Even if I go, won’t it take time?”
Cheonmagapgwi was a top secret known only to the highest-ranking members of the party. The first completed Heavenly Demon Armor could be considered a half-success, so the leadership was working hard to create controllable plus-level monsters.
In the meantime, Choi Jun-ho pointed it out. Li Junming quickly reported this to the party. Because the current location may have been exposed, related facilities were planned to be moved.
“yes. The good news is that we have some time. A few days is enough.”
Even if Choi Jun-ho moves now, it is possible to detect it. In that case, all you need to do is move the key data.
The aide carefully advised Li Junming’s positive thoughts.
“However, there are parts of Choi Jun-ho’s movement speed that are not explained.”
“Even if Choi Jun-ho transcended human limitations, that is impossible. It won’t hold up. “There are clear limits to space-type gifts.”
Nowadays, the research institute that created the Heavenly Demon Armor is where the full power of the People’s Republic of China resides. Here, the Gift of the Awakened was also studied, and countless studies were conducted on its principles and occurrence.
Among them, the most strategic gift was the space type.
What if an awakened person, free of space restrictions, could freely travel between countries carrying a nuclear bomb?
It is no exaggeration to say that this could immediately seize world hegemony.
But the research ended in failure. The farther you travel, the greater the strain on your body, and the fragile human body cannot withstand it.
The reason Li Junming is confident is because he received the research results.
“But Alisim is the reason he possesses the space movement system….”
“I’ll do it that way.”
Li Junming returned to the meeting after sending a warning to the party to be careful of Choi Jun-ho’s space-related gifts.
The conversation went much more smoothly without Choi Jun-ho.
What Korea wanted was to participate in the reconstruction project. I could sense the company’s intention to use this opportunity to enter and dominate various industries.
For Li Junming, restoring the devastated country was his top priority, so he accepted it positively. Instead, I quietly held the knife in my heart.
It was Choi Jun-ho’s fault that this civil war broke out. He incited Yu Hao to divide the country into South and North, and the Shinsung Group moved to split Hong Kong and Guangdong Province. Taking advantage of that opportunity, the West also turned its back.
However, the confrontation was not good as it was now at its peak. As time passes, a time will come when China, which has more territory and population, will dominate again. At that time, all you have to do is trample them so that they cannot even think of resisting again.
While he was quietly sharpening his knife and engaging in negotiations, his smartphone repeatedly vibrated. It was a communication from the central government, but since it was the most important moment in the negotiations, I ignored it and focused on the conversation with President Cheon Myung-guk.
The conversation, in which everyone hid their true feelings and aligned their interests, ended prematurely.
“I hope that in the future, we will have a relationship where we can help each other.”
President Chun Myung-guk’s words were very annoying, but Li Junming nodded with a sense of disapproval.
“That’s what I hope too.”
It was around the time we left the conversation.
What greeted Li Junming was the face of an aide on the verge of collapse.
“Prime Minister! “We’re in big trouble!”
“Why but?”
“Something happened in my home country!”
“What happened?”
“That means…”
Looking at the hesitating aide, Li Junming felt his irritation growing.
“Speak quickly!”
“The research facility has been destroyed.”
“what? Research facility?”
Li Junming’s expression changed completely. He gestured, and the aide began to explain what was currently happening in his home country. The results were shocking.
The story was that two hours after Choi Jun-ho left and Li Jun-ming met with President Cheon Myeong-guk, the laboratory that was researching and producing the Heavenly Demon Armor was destroyed.
What shocked Li Junming was what happened next.
“Surely you didn’t send Xiao too?”
A superhuman was dispatched to the research center in preparation for any unexpected situation. Since it was the safest place and the work had to be carried out in utmost secrecy, Li Junming’s nephew and reliable companion, Chu-in, was sent there.
“Everyone died without leaving anything behind.”
“Mmm! Xiao…”
Li Junming stumbled as his legs lost strength as a dizzying feeling of dizziness overtook him.
“Prime Minister!”
“Are you okay!”
Although he was distraught by the shocking news, he was also a politician who overcame the chaos and became prime minister. After barely coming to his senses, he spoke to his attendants.
“I’m going back to my dorm. “We understand the details of the situation there.”
“yes!”
What was waiting for Li Junming, who returned to his residence, was the news that everything the southern army had prepared for was destroyed.
The annihilation of China’s most elite scientists and the destruction of achievements created by concentrating all resources.
Because security was so strict, data backup was not allowed.
It was literally the disappearance of all data.
Everything that the People’s Republic of China had invested so far has disappeared without a trace.
Even if the data is recovered, there is no guarantee how much it will be salvageable.
It was obvious who the culprit who had caused all these accidents was.
“We have to argue!”
Li Junming managed to come to his senses and headed to the Blue House despite the dissuasion from those around him.
Choi Jun-ho belongs to South Korea. Therefore, it was the government of the Republic of Korea that should be responsible for what he did.
There was no need to say that I couldn’t control him. Right now, I just needed a place to vent these boiling emotions.
Li Junming arrived at the Blue House with repeated urgings and almost dragged the people in his way until he arrived in front of the President’s office.
What appeared before him was President Cheon Myeong-guk, whose expression was stern.
…It was Choi Jun-ho, who had an expression on his face that nothing was going on in the world.
How did he, who destroyed the research institute in Chongqing, get here?
“This is quite rude behavior.”
President Cheon Myung-guk’s angry words were not even heard.
Li Junming’s eyes were only fixed on Choi Jun-ho.
Choi Jun-ho, who had been watching quietly, opened his mouth.
“I guess something happened?”
These are the words spoken by Choi Jun-ho, who curled the corner of his mouth.
“As if something had happened.”
That is the end of consciousness.
Li Junming, unable to overcome his boiling anger, collapsed.
