The Anti-Intellectualism Demon King’s World Invasion - Chapter 104
Only Noblemtl
Episode 104
The second conspiracy theory is that the CIA supported the Bangju Church as a means to control Korea and helped it enter the United States, but in reality, the Bangju Church used the CIA to enter the United States.
This fact was discovered by a CIA agent who infiltrated the Ark Church.
He uncovered not only this fact, but also the hidden secrets of the Ark Church.
The secret of the Ark Church was so great that the survival of this world depended on it, but I couldn’t figure out what it was.
Because the CIA agent who uncovered the secret has mysteriously disappeared.
– There was a story that the code name for that incredible secret of the Ark was Alien.
“Really? I’ve never seen a post or article like that.”
When word of the pilgrimage became known, I monitored far-right sites for a while.
– I saw it by chance too. It was in the comments, but when I tried to check again, the post was deleted.
“Hmm. Doctor Oh. From what I can see, the aliens seem to be a code for giant water monsters. The US Navy has already suffered heavy losses in battles with water monsters in the Pacific.”
I recalled the transmission that said the 8th Carrier Squadron had been evaporated in an instant without even putting forth a single effort.
– But think about it. The word alien is not a word that refers to creatures like monsters, but rather to buildings or structures… … .
Dang! Dang!
Suddenly the bell rang.
I don’t know what happened, but nice timing!
Because Dr. Oh was so knowledgeable, his theories often went astray.
In that case, the argument becomes thin and the speech becomes long.
So, Bomi and Hoyoung teased me by calling me ‘Explanation Grandpa’.
I interrupted Dr. Oh and said:
“Oh, Doctor. The alarm is going off right now. I think we should go out. We can talk about the US Navy later.”
– Ah! I see. Be careful.
I left the communications room and went up onto the deck.
Dang! Dang!
The paper kept ringing like a broken siren.
Jinman, who was already on deck, looked up at the mainsail and shouted.
“Bomi! What’s this? Did a dolphin appear like last time?”
“It’s not a dolphin.”
Bomi, standing on the observation deck at the tip of the mainsail, answered with a wave of her hand.
“Then. A red coral reef shaped like a deer antler? Or a dolphin?”
“That’s not it.”
Bomi was wary of the sea, and whenever she saw a beautiful sight or a strange fish that she wanted to show to others, she would ring the alarm bell without warning.
“Then what is it?”
“The light is shining.”
“light?”
“Yes. There is light underwater.”
Well then, this could be a real alarm.
It could be an ark, a submarine, or the glowing eyes of a giant water monster.
I shouted at Bomi.
“where are you?”
“Over there.”
Bomi pointed to a place.
I held the telescope up to my eye and looked at it.
I couldn’t see the light underwater since I don’t have underwater vision, but I could figure out why there was light underwater.
Light was being projected onto the surface of the water.
It looks like the sunlight is reflecting off of something.
I moved the telescope around to find the source of the reflector.
Ah! That’s it.
Was it a mirror? It looked like something was hanging on the end of a pole like a flagpole.
If you see the light shaking, it’s not a mirror.
I adjusted the focus of the telescope.
But because there was a distance, the target was caught, but it was blurry, as if covered in fog.
“Jungwoo! Change direction!”
I pointed with my hand to where the light was reflecting.
Bomi said, pointing towards the light reflected in the water.
“Not that side, but this side.”
“The light in the water is reflected. Check the direction I’m pointing.”
Jeong-woo turned the key, and Jin-man released the sail and changed direction according to my instructions.
Then the wind changed from a headwind to a tailwind, and Hallasan Lake began to glide across the water like a sled skidding across ice.
Everyone enjoyed the wind and the sense of speed they had not felt in a long time.
As we got closer to the reflective object, its identity began to be revealed little by little.
“That chimney, and the shape! Oh! It’s a cruise ship.”
“A cruise ship? Where on earth did that come from? I was like a meerkat, keeping a 360-degree lookout.”
“Maybe they were wary of dolphins or coral reefs.”
Jin-man scolded Bomi, who was puzzled.
Bomi said, feeling wronged.
“No. There was nothing in the updated Mujihado this morning.”
We soaked our mosquito nets in seawater every morning, just like we checked the weather forecast before going to work.
A note sent from Jiyeon to Bomi, when you wet the blank paper with water, information about the ocean appears on the blank paper.
And as the seawater tells us memories, it shows us the flow of the tides, the topography of the seabed, and even the peculiarities of the surrounding area.
However, the memory capacity of seawater is limited like that of memory, and can only store information for a certain period of time.
So I mostly wet my ignorant body in the fast-flowing current, but once I got out of the garbage island, there was almost no current.
Moreover, because the wind was weak, the map that appeared on Mujihae Island was less than a 3km radius.
But if we hadn’t been so ignorant and the GPS and compass weren’t working properly, we would have probably been wandering around somewhere in Jeolla-do.
When a road appeared on the underwater terrain of Muji-do, I dived and checked the signs.
In this way, we were able to determine the exact location, and we were currently moving along the Gyeongbu Expressway.
I looked at the cruise ship through the telescope.
Although it still looked small from a distance, there were six decks built on the deck.
And the total length seemed to be over 100m.
It was a cruise ship so large that it couldn’t even be compared to the ferries that traveled the islands.
Oh! That’s a reflection.
A broken cable was found hanging from a communications tower mounted on the bridge ceiling.
There was something like shiny colored paper hanging from the string.
Perhaps the string of glitter confetti that had been hung for the occasion broke during the departure ceremony.
“Oh! Royal Flower Horne.”
Jungwoo’s voice was heard from the wheelhouse.
A large, bright flower was painted on the side of the cruise ship.
I went up to the wheelhouse.
“Do you know that boat?”
“Oh, yes. It’s the Royal Flower Hotel.”
Jungwoo said that although he has not ridden the Royal Flower, he has ridden its sister ship, the Royal Sun, during his training.
Jungwoo explained the Royal Flower ship as if he was reading the NaX Wiki.
“The Royal Flower, built in 2010 at the Ordokhte shipyard in Norway, is a mid-sized cruise ship with a capacity of 400 passengers and entertainment facilities such as a swimming pool, casino, performance hall, and jogging track. Its first voyage began in the Greek Mediterranean region, but due to the financial difficulties of the Greek shipping company, it was sold to the Korean Palmway Beach and put into service on tourist routes to the Philippines, Shanghai, Okinawa, and Incheon.”
After hearing the explanation, I picked up the telescope again and looked at the Royal Flower.
The Royal Flower had no apparent damage to its exterior except for a snapped string of tinsel from its communications tower.
Everything looked clean, as if we had just set sail this morning.
But for some reason, I felt uneasy.
Is it because there are no people anywhere?
There was no sign of life anywhere, not from the windows of the guest rooms, the terrace, the bow or the deck.
They said there were 400 people on board.
Well, the world has been underwater for quite some time now, so it’s not surprising that something could happen.
“Jungwoo, how much food do you bring with you on a cruise like this?”
“We’ll reach our next port of call in three days at most, so we’ll probably only have enough for a week at most. If we eat sparingly, we could probably last for two or three weeks, right?”
“No, it would have lasted longer than that.”
In my head, a real survival game that would have taken place on a cruise was automatically drawn.
Maybe if we were lucky, everyone would have coexisted.
But looking at the quiet cruise, it seemed likely that an extreme survival game was taking place.
But to say that, it’s too clean.
I tilted my head and picked up the telescope again.
Then Bomi said.
“What are those ships?”
When we turned our telescopes to where Bomi was pointing, we saw wooden fishing boats, makeshift rafts, and yachts.
The ships orbited the Royal Flower like satellites of Jupiter.
But there were no people on board any of the ships, like the Royal Flower.
“Did those ships drift away?”
“Yeah. There’s no sign of life.”
“Why is there no sign of life on the cruise ship? It’s so big, how can there not be a single person on it?”
The kids seemed to be starting to feel uncomfortable now.
Jeong-woo did not approach the Royal Flower at my gesture and instead circled around.
I went to the bow and looked at the surrounding ships through the telescope.
Some of the ships looked like shipwrecks, but others looked like they had been occupied just a moment ago.
“But why are there so many fish here?”
Jinman said while looking at the water.
You could tell that there were a lot of schools of fish just by looking at them, even without using an underwater camera.
This is the first time I’ve seen so many fish.
What’s going on in this area, with the unmanned ships orbiting the Royal Flower like satellites?
“Hey! There’s a ladder over there.”
As I turned my head, I saw a rope ladder lowered from the bow of the Royal Flower.
The ladder was lowered close to the water, as if calling for people to climb up.
The kids and Nurse Jang looked at me.
It seemed like he was asking what to do.
“First of all, we should let everyone know that we’re here.”
He turned on the loudspeaker and grabbed the microphone.
– Hello, Royal Flower crew and passengers!
My voice spread, but there was no answer from the Royal Flower.
But since we started, we have to finish the broadcast.
– We are a passing ship, and have no intention of attacking or plundering the Royal Flower. So feel free to come out. If you have any spare goods, you can trade with us, or we can simply exchange information. We have fresh milk, fish, and various equipment. In addition, we have refrigerated beef and chicken, etc. … … .
Even though I listed the grocery items that I absolutely could not refuse in the apocalypse as if I was live shopping, there was no response from the Royal Flower.
I turned off the mic.
Then an eerie silence flowed, so intense that even the sound of the waves could not be heard.
