Episode 75

Hyunwoo’s father answered.

“yes.”

“Can you please go see Captain Kim?”

“Captain Kim? After you go around the garbage swamp, go under the overturned submarine bridge… … .”

Hyunwoo’s father simulated the route.

“It won’t be easy, but I’ll try. Is it because of that monster?”

“Yes, that’s right. If you make a mistake, you could be wiped out.”

Even if you give it your all, you can never win against Imoogi.

“Yes, I understand. I will do my best.”

Hyunwoo’s father left right away.

“What should we do?”

Bomi and Jinman looked at me.

“You guys just wait for now. You can go to the hatchery to check the situation and then ask for help.”

“Okay. Then, I’ll advance to a position where the soldiers won’t detect you.”

“Yeah, that’s a good idea. See that collapsed pavilion? If you hide there, you won’t get caught.”

After designating the two forward positions, I ran into the waterway.

The canal was like a sewer.

There was actually a sewer area.

In addition, there was an area where the two doors of the container box had been removed and connected, and there was also a place where pipes were connected.

Although the materials and construction were crude, the inside of the canal was not affected by the current, so it was no different from the Autobahn.

It didn’t take long for me to arrive at the hatchery.

The submerged hatchery had baskets lined up on shelves like library bookshelves.

The basket of seaweed was probably where the eggs were kept, but just as the Mermaid Queen had said, the eggs were gone.

Did Jiyeon take the eggs out of the basket and hold them on her body?

The shadows of people were reflected in the water above their heads.

Maybe that’s the space they made for Jiyeon.

I carefully approached the surface and put my ear to the surface.

Then the sound of people talking was heard.

“No, why did the Governor change his appearance?”

“Isn’t it inevitable? If I hadn’t changed completely, I might have been defeated by the Navy SEALs.”

Those who spoke seemed to be the leaders of the Ark Church and the members of the Ark Church who were watching from behind the stage.

“But isn’t it still not a perfect egg that can ascend to the dragon?”

The Ark Church calls the eggs of mermaids that are used for transformation “Eggs.”

“Then what should we do? The priestess has gone to the Ark Tower. Who will make the Dragon Egg?”

I guess Delay created an egg that could become a dragon.

But because it wasn’t completed properly, it seemed like the governor had turned into a snake instead of a dragon.

But what?

Jiyeon went to the Ark Tower?

The Ark Tower was built in Uljin, Gyeongbuk below.

However, the construction was not completed due to various problems.

Min Do-yoon, the leader of the Ark Church, said that when the world is submerged in water, the Ark Tower will rise tall as a light to the world.

Could it be that what the guy said came true?

Anyway, you’ll know once you go there.

We learn that Bomi was not killed by the Governor, and that she is safe, although she has moved far away.

Just wait a moment, Jiyeon. I’ll go save you.

“How on earth did you get caught by the priestess?”

“What? Are you saying that I told the Governor that he was rebelling against the Ark headquarters?”

“Then who told you? Weren’t you the priestess’s protocol officer?”

“What are you talking about! The priestess didn’t come out of the hatchery because of the egg experiment. How could I meet her? Commissioner Park, wasn’t it you who released the priestess? You’re a member of the National Assembly Defense Committee.”

“What the heck?! This guy. He can’t do it, so he’s holding onto my feet and hanging on. No, if the priestess comes and goes, who can hold her?”

“So, you should have caught him even if it meant forcing him. It’s your fault.”

People were blaming each other.

Then, another person’s voice was heard.

“Honestly, my heart is pounding two and a half, three and a half pounds. Am I really okay? Aren’t we all going to get beheaded as traitors later?”

“What are we going to do? The die is cast.”

“But the opposition on the island, and even the navy. They might collapse before they are suppressed by the Ark headquarters. Phew~”

A sigh was heard.

From what I’ve heard, it seems like the Ark Church’s takeover of Trash Island was the Governor’s arbitrary decision.

“Shit! You rolled the dice wrong. Didn’t you lose the most important priestess? Wasn’t the original plan for us to monopolize the eggs? If that’s the case, it would have been a given that we would all become water people, and if we even complete the promotion eggs, who would dare to compete with us? But we lost the priestess from the start.”

“Look. Since it’s come to this, how about we kill the governor and return to the Ark Church?”

People seemed taken aback by the sudden suggestion.

“No, but still.”

“That seems a bit too much. After all, without the priestess, we would be nothing, right?”

“Even though he is not a dragon, haven’t you seen how strong the Governor has become after being transformed into a snake?”

People still hesitated.

Then the voice that had suggested the removal of the governor began to seduce him in a subtle tone.

“Oh, really. How could these people betray the Ark Church because they are so scared? Don’t we know the weakness of the Imoogi that we haven’t been able to fully recruit? If we just take the governor’s head, the Ark Church will definitely accept us. No, who knows if they will even give us eggs for our merits?”

“I honestly didn’t want to betray the Ark Church. I did it because the Governor forced me to!”

“I too was fooled by the sweet talk of being offered a job.”

The mood of the people changed completely.

“Let’s kill the baby snake!”

“Long live the Ark!”

The story seemed to be unfolding strangely, but from my perspective, I was thankful for the internal strife.

I was going to go up to the water and catch them, but there was no need to go up first.

For now, we decided to wait leisurely until they attacked the governor.

But then suddenly, ‘Bang! Bang! Bang!’ a gunshot rang out.

“iced coffee!”

“No, you, why us… … .”

“Bang! Bang!”

People fell into the water with screams.

The water instantly turned red with blood.

“You idiots! How dare you betray the Governor?! It’s fortunate that you uprooted the rotten leaves before something big happened.”

A voice was heard suggesting that the governor be killed.

“Good. Now let’s go up and report to the governor that all the traitors have been dealt with. And we’ll help him take the sacrament.”

Hey! What the! Was this a trap to weed out the traitor?

There was no more noise from above.

I stepped cautiously out onto the water.

I saw people falling down.

When I saw the bloody corpse, I frowned without realizing it.

They killed people so cruelly.

“iced coffee!”

A groan was heard from among the piles of corpses.

I ran and pushed through the corpses.

A middle-aged man was bleeding from the stomach.

I tried to stop the bleeding, but it was impossible because the bullet had penetrated through it.

He looked at his stomach and muttered with a look of regret on his face.

“It’s karma and retribution. He abandoned his family, joined the Ark Church, did bad things, and now he’s being punished. Ah! I have to tell Soojin that I’m really sorry.”

As he himself said, he was a baptist who helped drown the world and a bad father who abandoned his family.

But when I saw his regretful face as he was about to die, I felt pity for him.

“Do you have a picture of your daughter? If I meet Sujin, I will tell her that your father is really sorry.”

“Oh! Really? Thank you.”

He handed me a family photo and wept.

But then suddenly he exploded with anger.

“You little bastard! You tricked me into throwing me into the pit of hell?! It’s all your fault.”

What the heck! Is this guy talking to me right now?

It didn’t seem like it was right to stare into space, but when it’s time for a person to die, you have to forgive and sort everything out.

If you curse in anger like that, you won’t be able to die in peace.

Tsk tsk. What a disappointment.

Did I say I was going to apologize to my daughter for nothing?

“Even if you tear me to pieces, I won’t be able to close my eyes. You bastard governor! Die! Die!”

I soon found out who he was cussing at.

He pleaded with me through his bloodshot eyes filled with anger.

“I have a favor to ask. Please kill that damned governor. He is a vicious man who has led me into the abyss of evil. I don’t think I can close my eyes if I don’t kill him.”

“No. How can I kill that giant monster?”

I was already disappointed, so I answered coldly.

“You can do it. The guy didn’t get promoted. So there are bound to be some imperfections.”

Oh! What? You mean the weakness that people were talking about earlier?

My ears perked up.

“That imperfect part… … .”

He closed his eyes as he spoke.

“Hello! You shouldn’t die like this. You should be angry. You should tell me how to catch that damn governor. You said you couldn’t close your eyes if you didn’t kill him.”

I continued to hit the man’s cheek, which had become pale and bloodless.

“Oh! Where am I? There used to be a river. My mother called me from across the river.”

“Don’t go there yet. There’s that damn governor. You have to get revenge on him. That way, you can be a proud father to Soo-jin.”

“Oh! That’s right. That damn governor. That bastard… … .”

The man began to talk about the governor’s weaknesses.

* * *

It was just as the man said.

The snake was eating people.

He would flick his tongue, catch the person, and then swallow him whole.

People ran away screaming, but were forced to return to the stage because of threats from soldiers.

“You are sacrificing yourself for the Governor who will save the world. You must offer your body willingly. It would be useless if you ran away here!”

The voice coming from the loudspeaker was the same voice that had been used to trick the traitor into weeding him out.

No, why does the Ark Church like human sacrifice so much?

This is why I hate it.

Just wait a minute, you little snake, I’ll kill you.

I was hiding behind a pillar in the National Assembly building, looking up at the snake, and then I moved.

I knew his weaknesses, but it was impossible for me to defeat him alone.

I needed help.

Jinman and Bomi ran towards the collapsed pavilion where they were waiting.

When I arrived, the two were just leaving the collapsed pavilion.
