#Episode 240, The Impossible

JS OOPARTS Headquarters.

Crash.

Cha Jeong-seok left the representative’s office with a look on his face that said he couldn’t take it anymore.

The secretary jumped up from her seat.

“Even if it’s something you ask me to do… .”

“What about Director Cha? “Are you still on the third floor today?”

“I’ll check.”

When the secretary picked up the phone, Cha Jeong-seok waved his hand and went straight to the elevator.

“it’s okay. “I’ll go down and see.”

Cha Jeong-seok was upset because his daughter had not shown her face for several days.

‘… Why don’t you check once in a while to see if your baby is doing well and that he’s not in any pain?’

widely! Crash!

Cha Jeong-seok, who got into the elevator, hit the close button repeatedly, which was unusual for him.

Ding!

-3rd floor.

The third floor was a floor called RPS (Reconsideration Project Storage) within JSO, where discarded or suspended project materials were collected.

Beep!

Weeeeing.

Cha Jeong-seok, who entered the RPS reading room, burst into laughter when he saw the back of his daughter directly in front of him.

“her!”

The sight of him falling asleep on the table… .

‘ruler… ?’

Since the judging had already gone wrong, it only looked even more embarrassing, and I couldn’t even think of waking him up.

If his daughter fell asleep at this time, it obviously meant that she had stayed up all night.

‘… okay. ‘What on earth are you so into?’

Cha Jeong-seok, who was approaching the table where his daughter was lying face down and trying to look for signs of work, was startled when he heard another sign and looked around.

Crackling. Crack!

It was the sound of a keyboard being struck.

When I went around one of the walls, I saw a researcher wearing a headset working hard on something.

No, I couldn’t tell if it was work or something stupid.

“What are you doing?”

As Cha Jeong-seok approached right next to him, the researcher was startled and lowered his headset.

“Huh! surprise… ah. CEO… .”

“There is no way you can develop a project in RPS without my permission… . “What are you doing here?”

The researcher took off his glasses and rubbed his puffy eyes, perhaps thinking he was resting while his hands had stopped.

“that… , I was looking for someone to be the next director.”

“… person?”

“yes… “Look at this.”

A researcher wearing street glasses displayed a black image on the computer screen he was using.

“This is a video caught by Jay One.”

“J-One… If… “Are you talking about No. 1?”

“yes yes. Well, General Manager Han… No, it’s the CEO’s first love, who was taken away by a hero.”

“… … .”

Even though I have two S-class golems thanks to Han Seong-jun providing additional parts, I can’t help but feel a bitter taste in my mouth considering the attachment and symbolism of the first result.

“Didn’t you initially set it up so that you could receive abnormal alarms in escort mode? “I think they changed the server to this RPS server after Jay One was taken away, and it looks like Director Cha changed it so that he could receive it directly.”

“anyway… . I know it’s Jay One. “But what do you want me to see?”

The image that filled the screen was so black that it could be said to be just a blank space filled with black.

“Oh, if you look closely… here… You will see a human figure. Like this… If you visualize it with an image of the magic power sensed by the golem… .”

Click!

When the researcher clicked the mouse, a human shape similar to a thermal image was revealed in magic leveling colors.

“… wait. If it’s a video taken by Jay One, then this is Han Seong-jun’s friend’s house… . “Are you saying someone broke into that house?”

The researcher nodded and said.

“As you can see. But I don’t know if it’s an intrusion. “I found out that a hero’s mother, who was at home that day, disappeared.”

“What? But why still… .”

“I already checked with the police, but the only response I received was that you left the country via the normal route.”

“… Are you sure? “It’s not kidnapping?”

“It’s something I can’t say for sure. But that’s not the point.”

“… ?”

“Director Cha believes that this person is a hero.”

“… … .”

It was nonsense.

However, Cha Jeong-seok could not laugh at the researcher’s words.

‘That guy to Yura… ‘Is that what it was like?’

Even after 3 years, I still have vain hopes… .

… Was it something that was stuck in your mind that long?

Of course, his daughter would not even recognize her own pain.

Cha Jeong-seok, who had expected to just laugh out loud, got teary-eyed, and the researcher, who was preparing his next words, looked embarrassed.

“No, why, why are you doing that?”

Cha Jeong-seok said, barely able to control his emotions.

“No. that… , don’t show that you don’t like it too much… “Please work a little harder until Director Cha convinces himself.”

“yes? what… Oh, so I thought it was ridiculous at first too.”

“… … ?”

Click.

When the researcher clicked on the image, it played as a video.

Suddenly, the dolls rushed in and the golem’s vision went dark.

“Did you destroy the lens?”

“yes. However, if you look at the status display at this time, J-1 was in a power saving state. Because it was in power saving mode, Director Cha’s remote control was activated. Obviously, an abnormal alarm went off in escort mode, but it is in power saving mode? “Isn’t it strange?”

“… … “It means that he was the registered commanding authority of the golem.”

“you’re right. And listen to this. It’s a bit brittle because it’s a forced sound… .”

The researcher took off the headset around Cha Jeong-seok’s head, placed it on Cha Jeong-seok’s head, and played a sound file.

-What, what is it? Golem talks?

Cha Jeong-seok, who had a puzzled expression, widened his eyes.

“All over again! again!”

-What, what is it? Golem talks?

Although there was noise mixed in, it was clearly Han Seongjun’s voice… It was very similar to

Of course, it is not enough to be considered solid evidence.

But at least I felt like I knew why my daughter was throwing everything away and focusing on this.

Cha Jeong-seok took off his headset and shouted, having a flash of thought.

“that! “Isn’t there an image of a hero’s magic power left in J-One’s backup data?”

“I already did a comparison.”

Click.

The researcher additionally floated one more image of magic power to make the two images appear side by side.

“The one on the left is an image of a hero’s magical power during the J-One level test. As you know, the compression rate increases as it ages, so it took a lot of time to restore it.”

“… … .”

“Body type and gait… If you look at the same characteristics, it seems like Han Seong-jun is the hero. the problem is… “The most important thing is that the horsepower map is completely different.”

Expressing the highest level of magical power concentration, the red dot on the chest appears as one on the left and two on the right.

Cha Jeong-seok looked disappointed.

“… “It’s at a level that can’t even be called a growth change.”

This is because the magic map was a clear proof of identity that could be called the fingerprint of a superman.

“yes… . However, considering the double awakening, we cannot conclude that it is not the case.”

Cha Jeong-seok laughed bitterly.

For a moment, in the spirit of supporting my daughter’s hopes… I thought that Han Seongjun might have survived.

But he quickly realized the reality.

Surely Han Seong-jun was swept up in Lumpgate and died while the whole world was watching?

“Well anyway… It’s true that he is someone who needs to be revealed somehow. Please keep up the good work.”

“… All right.”

The researcher also responded with a wry smile and nodded.

~Jiing. Jiyiing. Jiyiing.

Cha Jeong-seok, who was turning around, heard a series of vibration sounds and looked back at the researcher.

“… … ?”

“… … .”

The two people exchanged a look that said they didn’t belong to each other and then walked behind the wall.

Cha Yu-ra, who had been lying face down and twitching her hands, suddenly raised her head.

And then I looked at the watch that was constantly dropping.

“… … .”

Jump up.

Craddangtang!

Cha Yu-ra, not paying attention to the fact that her chair was flying backwards, stayed in an awkward position and tapped on the laptop that had been pushed aside.

Click click. Cracking. Crack!

Cha Jeong-seok, who was watching from behind, approached and spoke.

“what… Even if it’s urgent… .”

“… … .”

A real-time news screen facing my daughter who didn’t respond at all.

-Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

An ominous black hemispherical barrier surrounds the front yard of the Blue House,

Above them, a scene of a catastrophe unfolded, with the sky distorted.

-Dismissal! Fit─.

The screen cut out for a moment and then switched to a more distant camera.

“S-can it be Lump Gate again?”

Anyone who doesn’t know the circumstances can’t help but recall the nightmare of that day – a gigantic magical phenomenon.

-Geeky geek!

The sky fell.

Blue sky, clouds,

Distortion of vision as if pouring onto the floor.

A black crack struck the barrier like a thunderbolt that would tear the world apart.

-Quaaaaaaaaa!

“… … !”

“… … .”

There would not have been any powder left inside the Blue House wall.

Although he could not see the inside of the barrier, Cha Jeong-seok had no doubt about the outcome of disaster.

When the curtain-like barrier disappeared,

“omg!”

The reason Cha Jeong-seok was caught off guard was not because of the building that maintained its shape despite being fragmented, or because of the numerous people floating in the air.

Han Sang-cheol, covered in blood,

His children were together.

‘What is this… does not make sense… .’

It was an unbelievable sight to see,

The sight of a father and son attacking each other is also absurd.

However, Cha Jeong-seok’s instinct was to follow his daughter’s reaction first.

His daughter muttered with an expressionless face as always.

“Han Seongjun was right.”

“… … !”

Without even realizing that something was flowing down my cheek.

Seeing his daughter’s tears for the first time in his life was a shock that Cha Jeong-seok had to endure at this moment.

dump!

“Oh my! Wow, CEO!”

“… father?”

***

Dealing with crazy people was no problem.

The problem is that, thanks to someone, a mess has been created on a scale that no one can handle, so there is no one who is willing to take action to resolve the situation.

match!

“Come to your senses and carry him.”

match!

“you also. “You take care of him.”

In order to help quickly heal those who had been fatally wounded in the previous melee, I slapped the faces of those who were in good condition to bring them back to their senses.

“Whoa… . Are you in charge?”

“… yes. That’s right.”

The head of operations of the Paranormal Guard answered with a pale face.

“You were arrested for treason, but I believe the front-line commander is not guilty. You were simply tasked with surrounding me. Right?”

“yes. you’re right.”

“But it is a sin for a commander to be unable to assess the situation.”

“I have committed a mortal sin! “Please just save me.”

“No. “Please make good decisions from now on.”

“Yes, yes! “Just say the word.”

“Bring the healthy guys back right away and catch the guard captain.”

“Um, our captain… “What do you mean?”

“So is it your captain or ours?”

“… … .”

“I told you to use good judgment.”

“Oh, I understand.”

“I remembered your face.”

“yes!”

“Go.”

After sending the security guard away, I immediately looked around to find the president.

President Ga, who was standing blankly at a distance, made eye contact with me and immediately came running towards me.

An adult came running towards me, and since the picture I was waiting for wasn’t good, I also ran towards him.

“Are you okay?”

“I’m fine, but… , what happened? I thought a general had come to help you… , I didn’t know you would attack his father.”

“well. In the meantime, I see that you were targeting the President… “I didn’t necessarily think you were here to help me.”

“… … .”

The President looked cautious, as if he was having trouble finding the right words.

“it’s okay. Rather, let’s start with treatment.”

“… “Isn’t Lee Geum-hwan dead?”

“Suddenly a method occurred to me. “Turn back.”

“… … .”

He turned the president around, placed his hand on his back, and asked.

“You don’t have a magic sensitive constitution, do you?”

“I’ve adapted a lot.”

“Still, you may feel nauseous or dizzy.”

“… “I’ll try to endure it.”

I spoke as I poured a little bit of Chaos magic into the President’s body.

“Even if it’s hard, just endure it and organize your thoughts.”

“… “What are you thinking?”

“The list of people that the President must cut off today in order to properly fulfill his role as head of the executive branch. and… The right place for me to become that sword. “That’s all for now.”
