The Devil’s Dead Child - Chapter 260
Only Noblemtl
#Episode 260, Red
Seong Hyun-soo, who was a level 6 official until a few months ago, suddenly became the backbone of power in the Republic of Korea.
When I became deputy general manager, I thought it was just like winning the lottery.
‘I thought it was just a title… .’
Originally, the role of the ‘deputy’ head of a public office felt like the shadow alter ego of the head of the institution.
The problem was that the main body disappeared.
“Deputy Manager. “I received a call from the U.S. Embassy-.”
“Deputy Manager! Before that, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs-”
“wait a minute. Deputy Headquarters Manager. “If you don’t leave within 10 minutes, you will be late for the Blue House luncheon.”
“Deputy Manager… ?”
“Deputy Manager.”
Aaaaaaa!
I just wanted to cover my ears and scream.
However, it is said that a position makes a person, and there were many internal skills that were trained over several months.
‘You just have to hold on a little longer… .’
In order to share the heavy workload, especially the most urgent area of diplomacy, a person recommended by a hero was scheduled to join soon.
Seong Hyun-soo checked his watch and spoke to the employees who found him.
“Please organize the U.S. Embassy matter so that I can check it from the car, and tell Secretary Kim that he will come down to the main gate of the building in 7 minutes. Will the Ministry of Foreign Affairs inquiries be organized into 5 minutes?”
“uh… “I’ll give it a try.”
“Start.”
Two employees left the vice president’s office and the remaining one began the briefing.
Seong Hyun-soo leaned back in his chair.
The purpose of launching the Political Affairs Control Headquarters was to identify insurgents and reorganize the cabinet.
The newly organized ministries have already started working in their respective areas.
In fact, Jeong Su-bon’s role was virtually over.
As an organization with the nature of a task force, disbanding was the right course of action,
Each ministry did not want complete independence,
The world situation continued to require them.
“… So, the Russian side wants our government to mediate, and the United States wants to leave it as is. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs cannot ignore both sides… Rather than saying this, I think it is a reasonable position. also… ”
It was all because of Mr. Han.
A hero’s impactful performance has been the subject of controversy, but there is no disagreement on either side that he protected the Republic of Korea.
Rather, due to the atmosphere of fear that was quietly blooming, the world began to take notice of a hero.
Of course, for the government, it is beneficial in many ways to have a hero as a signboard.
A hero’s father also played a part in it.
When South Korea had just escaped disaster,
General Han, who had swallowed up North Korea before he knew it, proclaimed a new name for the country: ‘United state of Korea.’
‘United Korea…’ .’
As a fellow peninsula person, although it is the name of a country that fills me with gukppong,
Wouldn’t that give you goosebumps as a person living under the ceasefire line?
The government, which had already experienced the Blue House incident, had to leave behind a hero as a shield.
I don’t know if it was because of that effect, but United States President Han Sang-cheol was targeting bigger prey.
They committed blatant armed provocations against China and Russia.
‘Are you dreaming of becoming King Gwanggaeto in this 21st century?’
anyway.
This is how the strange form of government in which the independent children (cabinets) wanted to receive the approval of a hero in every case was created.
‘I have become that nobleman’s agent, agent, spokesperson, messenger, etc… .’
People think a hero is like, ‘Yeah. You just don’t know that you’re consistently saying, ‘You can take care of it.’
smart.
Seong Hyun-soo, who was smiling bitterly to himself, looked back at the door when the briefing employee was interrupted by a knock.
Crash.
The secretary poked her head in.
“Deputy Manager. “The president of the People’s Association said he would like to talk about the issue of establishing a PHC branch called Tersus.”
“No, why is the president of the association… under! “Isn’t that why we care so much?”
“I said it in roughly the same way, but it’s the world’s largest PHC group… “The scale of dispatch is large-”
“yes. is it so. I know, but I don’t have time right now. “Please tell me I’ll make time for you after lunch.”
“All right.”
As the secretary closed the door, Seong Hyun-soo pressed his temple and motioned to the employee standing in front to continue the briefing.
“uh… , so-”
smart.
Suddenly.
When the secretary, who had just closed the door and stepped away, opened the door again, Seong Hyun-soo felt his mental strength that he had managed to maintain crack.
‘Fuck you. This is how it comes to being coined… .’
Naturally, the words came out nervously.
“Don’t you know my schedule? Whatever it is, let’s go and get it delivered! And if possible, do your own cutting. Tsk!”
“… no. Someone came to visit this time. They say he came here through the introduction of the head of the department… .”
Seong Hyun-soo stood up with wide-open eyes.
‘Wow, it’s here!’
Review the data, make a decision,
It was not difficult to give procedural approval, but
The most difficult task was one that required political agility and diplomatic management skills.
If the case was serious, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs would hand over the decision based on a certified copy, which was too much for Seong Hyun-soo, who was only a 6th grader.
In fact, it was not just diplomatic work, but also the upcoming luncheon with the President.
Seong Hyun-soo, who was most confident in simply looking at documents, expressed his difficulties to a hero several times, and he gave him the contact information of one person.
“Uh, tell them to come in.”
Although he would have received guidance before coming in, Seong Hyun-soo was so happy to see him that he ran out the door.
“Oh, you’re with me. “This is our deputy general manager.”
As the secretary stepped aside to introduce Seong Hyun-soo, a man in casual clothing held out his hand.
“He was a very young man. Nice to meet you. I am the carefully hidden right arm of the hero Han Seong-jun, the great protector of the world. Also, I call him the Five Kingdoms, who is also the head of the house and the caretaker of Madam Wang.”
There was silence for a moment after the grand introduction.
‘… … ‘Are you a talented person?’
However, Seong Hyun-soo suddenly pushed away his doubts and held Oh Kingdom’s hand.
“My name is Seong Hyun-soo. Nice to meet you. “I heard he will be here sometime next week, but he came early.”
“iced coffee. “I stopped by for a moment because there was a portal at home.”
Must be a talented person.
Save me… .
‘please.’
***
Squeak!
“Turn it off… .”
dump.
‘It’s pretty good… .’
The half-aquatic guy who had just rushed at me felt a bit threatening.
41st floor.
I was feeling the fear of the tower in a different way through the sense of the different layers.
Even though the half-beast world has a special ability to secretly pray, and there is a possibility that it could be mistaken for a regular monster, it didn’t make sense for me to not be aware of the player’s approach until just before the attack.
Even though he was a great expert as he was alone, it was proof that I couldn’t use my senses 100% like I did outside the tower.
… Do you think all those distractions will be engraved on the wall?
‘I guess I should be nervous now too.’
For those who entered the tower, it is reality,
In reality, this means that it is similar to the virtual world experienced through the sixth sense capsule in Cheongsong.
‘The problem is that the guy in the administrator capsule is Marduk… .’
I didn’t know there would be tricks like environmental debuffs or balance leveling.
Sigh!
“… … .”
After confirming the kill, let’s look around.
Gu Changsu, who had cleared out the nearby mobs, approached, rubbing his dagger against his thigh.
Koo Chang-soo had also greatly reduced the gap in his ‘jump’.
Since I stole the dead players’ equipment and received help from the 38th floor to the 41st floor, there must have been a significant change in my stats.
“Seeing that you stand by on the 41st floor alone and have the spirit to even take a PK… “Wasn’t he the one who was the most advanced?”
Let’s say that one team that happened to have the right time had no choice,
Also, I wasn’t slow enough to catch up.
This guy was the type to wait for a victim at the first place he arrived.
“… You’ll find out when you go to the 42nd floor. But probably not.”
“why?”
“There’s no way the guy running in front would do something useless.”
This is because once someone has tasted the initial reward, they never look back because they are greedy to keep moving forward.
“ah… . “It is true.”
So, if you were to say that the guy who got ahead once got the initial reward, that wasn’t the case.
In the first place, the initial reward only exists from the 35th floor, but the 40th floor is not a section that can be sprinted through in one attempt.
Additionally, since each floor has different advantageous talent categories, the rankings may change depending on the status of each person, or someone may not be able to advance beyond a certain floor.
‘Still, if they are the ones who penetrated the 50th floor… . Those few guys are probably still struggling.’
If you have a return spell, one failed attack is not necessarily death… ,
The fact that they are hitting at this speed in real life means that they are not in their right mind.
“… But it’s amazing when I think about it. “How come Seongjun seems to know the players’ thoughts better than me?”
“Isn’t there a game here? “The games are there, and all the troublemakers in the corners of the room are there.”
“Hehe. “I guess that’s true.”
“From the 42nd floor… , I may not be able to look back at you.”
“ah… . “If you want to get out of here, you can get out, right?”
“What are you talking about? “I’m telling you to be nervous.”
“yes?”
“I brought you here because I need a system where you can see, but where are you going?”
“You just said I could be dangerous-”
“So don’t die on your own.”
“… … .”
I said, kicking the corpse at my feet.
“Take care of what you need. I’m not sure if there’s anything suitable for you since it’s a semi-water system… .”
“yes… .”
Gu Changsu bent down and muttered to himself.
“omg… . “This bastard was golden.”
‘Forbidden?’
ah… , it was him.
He is a player who is famous for being anti-water in the Loco 33 community.
Because there is no concept of world chat (or global chat) in Romance 33, there were not many particularly familiar character names.
There are only players who have had memorable frictions or have become famous by making their achievements known to the community.
Geumsu was a player who fell into the latter category.
At that moment, the memory of reading his post on the community flashed through my mind.
Those memories soon became the reason I didn’t want to know the player’s name, but no special emotions arose.
I felt that things that I once felt were natural human emotions were gradually missing.
But what I can do now is to save my increasingly dry heart, even if it means limiting the target.
Eat.
‘I said this is me too… .’
That moment.
For the first time in a while, a message came to mind.
[I fully accepted the demon energy.]
[Outside the category of ordinary people.]
[The new character’s personality has been formed.]
What are you talking about?
common… If not this, what is it?
“oh… . I need to take care of this… . “I can use it in an emergency.”
Click.
Gu Chang-soo got up and grabbed a metal container containing several long needles that could be used as memorization tools.
“I don’t have anything else to take care of other than this. Gappa is more to me… omg!”
Gu Chang-soo, who was waving his memorization box, suddenly took a breath and backed away.
“what… . “Why the hell are you doing this again?”
“Seo, are you Seongjun?”
“… Or what is it?”
“Tarantor.”
“what?”
“No, that’s how the name changed.”
ah… . Did you mean that?
… Taranthor.
In the language of the demons, it meant ‘cold-blooded.’
“And it’s red.”
“… … .”
Fuck… . Now they are treated like monsters.
