The Devil’s Dead Child - Chapter 241



Only Noblemtl

#Episode 241, Return of the Hero

The place that was the center of power in the Republic of Korea until a few tens of minutes ago has become a crater with building debris piled up here and there like a tomb.

The center of the concave land where only broadcast vehicles, reporters, and police can set foot.

A podium with a phoenix and a Rose of Sharon engraved on it was placed on the bare ground.

The podium has cracked and scratched surfaces as if it had been rescued from concrete rubble…

It seemed like the President’s will to convey the facts of the situation to the public as is.

The president stood in front of the podium amidst flash baptism,

I stared at the zooming camera lens for a moment and then opened my mouth.

-I have been secretly controlled and manipulated by certain forces, including the late Lee Geum-hwan, former chairman of Shinsung Group.

-The appointments of the current cabinet, heads of organizations directly under the president, and the head of the National Security Agency, who is responsible for the president’s safety, were all exercised according to the tastes of their faction.

-It was a disruption of national order and a clear act of rebellion.

-Nevertheless, they gave in to coercion and threats and allowed those impure forces to manipulate state affairs… ,

I am also very sorry that I have finally revealed the truth to the public.

-This insurgent group has raised the slogan of a non-military reform government and has put all its efforts into disparaging the legacy of General Han Sang-cheol, wary of his radical beliefs.

The problem is that the purpose behind their masks was no different from that of General Han.

-The situation that occurred at the Blue House today began with a conflict between hero Han Seong-jun, who was trying to rescue me, and the insurgent forces controlling the current government, and it was a clash between the three factions, with General Han Sang-cheol’s forces, who were monitoring the situation, intruding.

-During this process, former Chairman Lee and some members of the Emergency Guards controlled by the insurgents lost their lives, and General Han revealed his intention to reinstate him, but hero Han Seong-jun did not tolerate his father’s armed revolt.

-Although the yoke of humanity was never light, hero Han Seong-jun turned General Han around and endured an uncomfortable battle to do so.

-Thanks to the bravery of hero Han Seong-jun, who chose the right path, we are finally able to tell you the truth today.

-South Korea is in a serious crisis.

-Already experiencing quite a bit of confusion as the world’s number one gate-frequent country, we are simultaneously threatened by unidentified subversive forces and former armed opposition forces.

-But don’t be anxious.

-Now all of our people know the enemy.

-A dependable hero has returned to us.

-I will also do my best to normalize political affairs as soon as possible.

-We will strictly punish weightlifters.

-As always, we will overcome.

·

·

·

-As of the current time, the Political Affairs Control Headquarters will be established, and Hero Han Seong-jun will be appointed as the head of the headquarters.

This is a special emergency organization and takes precedence over the authority of all ministries until a new government organization unrelated to the insurgency is established.

DH Guardians Seoul Southern Branch.

Choi Beom-gyun started from the situation where Han Seong-jun was surrounded,

I never took my eyes off the hologram until the scene was somewhat settled and the President’s speech ended.

Choi Beom-gyun, who had been watching the video several times at the time Han Seong-jun appeared, smiled and turned off the hologram.

“Fuck you. It has become more of a monster… .”

I leaned back my office chair and put my feet on the table.

‘… … If the dead guy comes back alive.’

Usually, questions about probability, possibility, and causality fill your head in the form of ‘surprise.’

It might come across as scary to some people.

‘But once you’re shocked, can you think rationally for a long time?’

Intense emotions will just pour out through the gaps.

Depending on the relationship before death─

It can be a joy or an unbearable joy,

Sadness and sorrow may turn into relief.

… Forgotten anger may bloom again.

Anyway, even if it’s a very complex feeling,

If you add and subtract, wouldn’t there be only one answer?

Beomgyun Choi looked at his watch again.

I checked the numbers above the message in the student council group chat room.

‘One… .’

This means that everyone has seen it except Kang Seon-ho, who doesn’t know if he is dead or alive.

Beomgyun Choi suddenly stood up.

“By the way. People who don’t know what their feelings are… “That last step won’t go well.”

Or even if you know… ,

Not being able to add and subtract properly,

My mind, which I had barely managed to organize, gets mixed up again… .

“anyway… “You’re an asshole in so many ways.”

Beomgyun Choi, who left the office immediately, melted into the shadows that fell in the hallway.

After a while, at the end of the hallway.

Choi Beom-gyun appeared in front of the door of the branch manager’s office, carefully opened the door and looked inside.

The profile of the branch manager frozen like a stone statue in front of a large TV screen.

The broadcast screen only showed the president’s motorcade moving to the temporary residence, but Song Yeon-hee was sitting blankly on the sofa, motionless.

‘Tsk… .’

My heart ached.

Beomgyun Choi closed the door with a bitter look on his face.

‘I’m glad you’re alive, too.’

Now… Please sort it out.

***

“Aaaahhh!”

Lee Na-eun screamed, sweeping all the furniture off the table.

Whoosh! Boom!

In the monitor screen that fell after being pushed by its stand -,

The stock prices of all affiliates bearing Shin Seong’s name were plummeting at once.

bang!

Do Ji-hoon burst through the door of the vice president’s office.

“It’s done. Vice President! Chairman Wang… !”

“Get out!”

Wow!

Whiiiiing!

At Lee Na-eun’s angry cries, the office window exploded and a chill swept through her.

“Huh! Ah, no, I thought you didn’t know yet… .”

Damn it! Yep!

As Do Ji-hoon, feeling embarrassed, hurriedly turned around and left, Lee Na-eun blocked the wall near the entrance with a wall of ice.

“haha… .”

There are degrees of throwing poop on people… .

‘How on earth could you do something like that without even consulting with me…? !’

Lee Geum-hwan’s tragic death did not bring the slightest sadness to Lee Na-eun.

Rather, it was difficult to hold back the anger boiling toward his grandfather.

To have complete divinity,

How much effort was put into making it a kingdom that no one could conquer.

Before he disappeared, Han Sang-cheol was a god who no longer bothered him.

Now it’s finally mine… .

“Tsk!”

‘If he went into the back room, he would just stay there.’

What on earth has he done that the president mentions it so clearly?

Former Chairman, no one will believe you even if you say it was just a personal mistake.

I don’t want to admit it, but my grandfather was still a symbol of the group.

“… … .”

The blue pole in the stock window proved that fact.

Moreover, the frame of being the source of money for the insurgent forces was not just a matter of momentary stumbling, but an issue that could completely destroy the divinity.

… … The power to do just that has been created.

Head of the Political Affairs Headquarters.

“Han Seongjun… .”

Lee Na-eun bit her lip so much that it bled.

‘… I managed to survive that disaster.’

When I found out that Han Seong-jun was alive without knowing the circumstances,

She too was purely surprised.

Of course, I was just surprised.

Since there was no resentment or regret left behind, I was able to watch the hero’s return without much sentiment.

However, the moment when the identity of the old man that Han Seong-jun was carrying on his shoulder and was killed by Han Sang-cheol was revealed.

I felt my position as an antagonist.

Annoyance at having scratches on mine,

Old feelings for Han Seong-jun rose up all at once.

This is a bad relationship.

Bad relationship.

In her life – when she was in conflict with an enemy, she killed her pride first and proposed a truce only once.

I could not forget the bored expression on his face as he looked down at me while benevolently telling me how to avoid Han Sang-cheol’s retaliation.

The humiliation of that day… ,

The suppressed anger came back vividly again.

‘Even if you are the great Han Seongjun… , I will never forgive you if you touch what is mine.’

Snapping.

“… “Just touch it somewhere.”

I will definitely kill you no matter what I do.

***

At the same time, Korea Leaf Art School.

Wow!

Cheers erupted from the dormitory and the refinery hall.

Wow!

Although it was still work time, cheers followed one after another from the lecture building and the upper floors of the main building.

This place, which increased the number of admissions every year, was now accommodating about 1,600 cadets.

It’s truly a melting pot of enthusiasm.

In particular, many of the 2nd and 3rd year cadets were enthusiastic young people who applied because they were moved by Han Seong-jun’s sacrifice.

Grumble! widely!

Druk, Druk!

one! castle! June!

The cadets opened the windows and chanted the names of their alumni.

Or the professor’s name.

one! castle! June!

thud!

The shouting gradually spread from one building to the other, and as the sound of tables hitting and rolling on the floor added, it became a thunderous sound.

one! castle! June!

thud!

Of course, the sound was also transmitted to the teacher’s office.

“… … .”

“… … .”

However, the instructors and professors who had their eyes fixed on the TV were still unable to come to their senses.

The more you know, the more time it takes to accept the ‘impossible’.

Hoyoung Yoo scratched his head and muttered.

“A small number of the welcoming world… They say you can change your appearance… . Wouldn’t it make more sense to think that there is another monster-like superhuman like that?”

Professor Woonseok Jang received the message.

“… It’s not so bad that you can’t recognize it on the spot. “By the way, General Han was also a human being on a different level.”

“So… . Could it be that General Han’s sudden disappearance was a clue that a hero was still alive?”

“well. Maybe… ”

Crash!

“!”

The instructors and professors who had finally begun the conversation were startled and turned to look in the direction from which the noise came.

The doll that jumped out of the director’s office was unable to control its body and hit the table in front of the director’s office.

It was Hamseongah.

“Director… ? It’s okay… Are you okay?”

Hoyoung Yoo moved to support her, but Seongah Ham stretched out his hand and lifted himself up.

“Oh, it’s okay. “My legs felt weak for a moment.”

“!”

When Yoo Ho-young saw Ham Seong-ah raising his head, he took a step back without realizing it.

A face with red veins,

He was smiling with tears in his eyes.

Ham Seong-ah said, wiping his eyes.

“Those two dogs, no… I’m going to meet some of my students. “Instructor Yu.”

“ah… yes. Please.”

Pot!

Palak.

As Ham Seong-ah rushed out of the teacher’s office, unsecured documents were flying around.

“… … .”

Hoyoung Yoo thought that the pounding noise was just like the sound effect of a horror movie.

one! castle! June!

thud!

one! castle! June!

thud!

[Hero Han Seong-jun returns home after 3 years.]

[missing? Hiding? Mr. Han and his wife appear together.]

[Han Sang-cheol ‘From King to Weightlifting Leader’.]

[Han Seong-jun was appointed as the head of the Heroic Political Affairs Headquarters.]

[The father is a villain, the son is a hero.]

The main news pages of the three major portals were filled with articles about the Han family.

Articles and videos spread through the seven major communities and SNS generated explosive traffic.

The AI ​​Topic Surveillance System (TAS) of the world’s media companies recognized the importance of the issue and sounded an alarm ignoring time differences.

Overseas broadcasting channels first organized breaking news based on YouTube videos that had already gone viral, while also requesting Korean broadcasting stations to provide data.

In just one hour, the news of Han Seong-jun’s return was broadcast on 122 channels in over 80 countries.

The response was more immediate and enthusiastic than at home.

This is because they did not need to worry about Korea’s civil war situation, relationships, conflicts, or emotions.

As only inhabitants of Earth,

I was pure surprise and joy at the return of the sacrificial hero.

In Spain, shirtless men marched down the streets early in the morning and sang ‘Mad Dog Saint’.

“With fierce eyes and strong barks!”

“No one knows why you’re so angry!”

“One thing is for sure, he doesn’t bite just anyone!”

The lyrics sound like a military song or a La Liga cheer song.

“When he lands on the ground!”

“Everyone is afraid of those teeth!”

“You can’t stop a mad dog saint!”

“growl! growl!”

From where the sound reached, more and more were added one by one, spreading throughout the city.

“If his swear words echo through the heavens!”

“Everyone trembles at that sound!”

“You can’t stop a mad dog saint!”

“growl! growl!”

“With fierce eyes and strong barks!”

“No one knows what he wants!”

“One other thing is certain: he is a hero!”

“Everyone should respect him!”

“Flying in the sky and lifting buildings!”

“The mad dog saint is back!”

“Oooh! Cheap Pero Labioso!”

“Pero loco santo!”
