Episode 201
The clock showed exactly 7 o’clock.
Almost at the same time, the voice of a female secretary was heard from outside.
“Security Manager Lee Si-hyeon has arrived.”
“Hurry and take us inside.”
Association President Ryu Geon-woo said with joy.
Soon the door opened and Sihyeon came in.
Ryu Geon-woo woke up and received a vision.
“I’m sorry for making you come when you were busy.”
“No. It’s urgent and important, so of course you should come.”
“Come on, please sit down.”
Sihyeon shook hands with the head of the National Intelligence Service next to her and then sat down.
The head of the National Intelligence Service spoke first.
“As I said last time, Mr. President attaches the most importance to opinions on the ground. So, I would like to tell you first of all that this is such an important position.”
“I know what you mean.”
Sihyeon nodded.
The Hunter Association and the National Intelligence Service are more specialized in matters related to gates, monsters, and awakened people than any other government department.
In addition, the demon world and demons were added.
To the average person, it could only be a random story.
However, its importance was by no means an illusion.
It is something that could even put the country’s fortune at risk. Therefore, even as the president, who is the final decision-maker, he had no choice but to respect the opinions on the ground as much as possible.
There was nothing more to say about the opinion of Sihyeon, who had personally experienced the fight against the demons.
The head of the National Intelligence Service adjusted his posture and continued speaking.
“The information the manager brought was highly reliable. It’s amazing.”
“What do you mean… what was the result of the interrogation?”
Sihyeon asked.
The demon king captured this time was locked in an interrogation room in the basement of the National Intelligence Service.
And they were being interrogated under the strict surveillance of S-class awakened people.
Even though he is completely demoralized after being beaten like a dog by Si-hyeon, it does not change the fact that he is an extremely dangerous person.
So, I was worried, but fortunately, the interrogation seemed to have gone well.
“That’s right. Perhaps thanks to the manager, he became a puppy with a wagging tail and cooperated obediently. To be honest, I was curious about how he handled it.”
The head of the National Intelligence Service stared at Sihyeon with a strange smile.
“Because he was such a dangerous person, I dealt with him rather harshly.”
Sihyeon smiled and answered.
“Hehe, I don’t think I’ll have ten lives left if I deal with him twice. Anyway, thanks to that, the interrogation was easier. And….”
The head of the National Intelligence Service paused for a moment and then opened his mouth again.
“The information brought by the manager I mentioned earlier. Most of it was correct. The existence of the Demon World and the Demons, that the Demons conquered the humans of the Leiter Continent, that they look similar to humans, that they hate humans so much, etc.”
“okay.”
“But there are some things that are a little different.”
“Which part?”
“The manager said that demons are targeting the Earth, but he said this is the first time he has heard of it. As far as he knows, the only demon like that is a dead man named Renchik.”
“Um, is that so?”
Sihyeon rested her chin on the back of her hand with a thinking face.
There is no way Miriam, the palace of death, could have lied to herself. He wasn’t the type of person to do that, and if he was, there’s no way all the other information would have fit together like that.
In that case, the United States, or rather, the great wise men on both sides of the Straits, could have been mistaken.
Even if he was a great sage, he was not a god, so it was entirely possible.
“Anyway, didn’t he admit it? If he knew that there was a world where humans lived like this, there would definitely be demons who would come to conquer it. Even if there are some differences from the prison guard’s information, the proposition is that they are very dangerous to humans. does not change.”
Ryu Geon-woo said.
“Of course it is. But it bothers me a little. Considering that the manager’s information is quite reliable, I think there is a high possibility that the conquest of the Demon World that the United States is planning is true. “I’m concerned that it might be an act.”
The head of the National Intelligence Service expressed his concerns.
Ryu Geon-woo nodded as if he understood what I meant.
“It’s not that I haven’t thought about it. Of course, I have concerns. But the United States that I know is not a country that will ever act rashly. I think it made such a plan because it judged that it was highly feasible after careful examination. . In any case, the demons will continue to be a major threat to humanity. They hate humans so much that peace agreements are not feasible. That means a decisive battle is inevitable at any time. If that is the case.”
Ryu Geon-woo took a sip of the green tea placed next to him and continued speaking.
“If war is unavoidable anyway, a way to reduce the damage might be to use the Demon World as the battlefield instead of this Earth. Moreover, since the United States is taking the lead and carrying its guns, other countries may achieve peace without bloodshed. Prison guard What do you think?”
Ryu Geon-woo asked Si-hyeon’s opinion.
Sihyeon thought for a moment and opened his mouth.
“As the president of the association said, the United States is a country that operates by thoroughly calculating the pros and cons. Of course, it must have planned the conquest of the demon world because it judged that the possibility was sufficient. Moreover, as far as I know, the person who led this plan is the great sage of both sides… ”
“The great sage of both eyes?”
Ryu Geon-woo opened his eyes wide and unconsciously cut off Si-hyeon’s words and asked a question.
“That’s right.”
“…He was in America. I see. If it was his plan, this would be even more….”
“Who is this great sage of both eyes?”
The head of the National Intelligence Service asked with curious eyes.
At this point, he was the only one who did not know about the Great Sage of the Yang Eyes.
Ryu Geon-wu explained to him about the Great Sage of the Yangtze Eyes.
After hearing the explanation, he muttered with a slightly surprised expression.
“There are people like that in America… no, in America, it would be natural for there to be one or two great people like that.”
“Actually, the acquaintance who gave me the information also seemed to have heard that story from the great sage.”

Sihyeon said.
“When I heard his name, I thought it might be like that, but it turned out to be that way. If that’s the case, it’s surprising that there is incorrect information.”
Ryu Geon-wu seemed to have a very high opinion of the great sage of both eyes.
Since he is an S-class awakened person with memories of his past life, it is probably natural.
As Si-hyeon, who has no memory, it was difficult to sympathize fully, but it seemed amazing that all the S-class awakened people said that.
“In any case, I think the best option for us would be to just watch the situation unfold.”
Ryu Geon-woo looked at Si-hyeon and the head of the National Intelligence Service once and said.
“So what you’re saying is that you won’t make things about the Demon World public?”
Sihyeon asked.
This time around, in the Gate incident, other details were announced as truth, but things related to the demon world and demons were completely hidden.
Considering the huge stir that occurred when the incident was reported in the media, it may be natural.
But this is not just a Korean thing.
It concerns the whole world.
So it may be right to make it public.
This is something the whole world must join together to fight against.
“Shouldn’t that be the case?”
The answer came from the head of the National Intelligence Service.
He continued.
“Make it public. That alone will hinder America’s plans. Starting with the question of why such information was hidden and kept to oneself… there will be many confrontations against the United States. The United States has already prepared everything to take advantage of the fruits, but how dare they disrupt it. “It’s like letting go. If something like that really happens, I’m already dizzy as to what kind of retaliation I’ll get.”
It made sense.
Of course, Sihyeon also thought about that.
“First of all, they are going to hand over everything to the United States.”
“That’s right. It’s best for a country like us to stay still. If we move first, we can only suffer losses. If the United States succeeds, that’s fine, and if it fails, it’s just the United States using its own poison. Anyway, whether we succeed or fail, by then “Other countries will naturally become aware of this. All we have to do is discuss it with other countries and deal with it.”
Perhaps because he had worked in an intelligence agency for a long time, the head of the National Intelligence Service was good at making calculations.
And of course, it was a calculation that put the country’s interests first.
“I agree, too. Russia has an Emperor, and America has a Great Sage from both sides of the Strait. You know very well that the two are not on good terms. If the Emperor finds out about America’s plan, there is no way the Emperor will remain silent. It will harm humanity. “It may lead to a big conflict.”
Ryu Geon-woo expressed his agreement.
‘They don’t get along well… ‘I didn’t really know.’
Sihyeon laughed inwardly.
This was because he had no memories of the other world.
After all, he is now a certified S-class awakened person, so it was natural for him to think that he had memories.
“Okay. I think what you two say makes sense, but.”
Sihyeon looked at the two with an expression that told her something was bothering her.
“Demons, that is to say, for them, two of their own kind led numerous monsters and went over and never came back. If they found out about that, of course they wouldn’t be able to stay silent, right? How do you plan to deal with that?”
This was the biggest problem Sihyeon was thinking of.
This time we were lucky and stopped it without a single person being harmed, but there is no guarantee that it will happen next time.
“Oh, that is.”
The head of the National Intelligence Service immediately opened his mouth as if to say he knew it would come out.
“I don’t think the probability is that high. According to what he said, each of the demons is a demon lord. This also matches the information the manager brought. In any case, they are like independent monarchs with their own territories. And this is it. A possible reason is that demons have a very independent temperament. They say they don’t really care about other demons and don’t particularly interfere with them, no matter how they live or what they do. So even if two demons don’t come back, the other demons will “There’s a good chance you won’t pay much attention to it.”
The head of the National Intelligence Service explained in detail the information discovered through the interrogation.
However, Sihyeon couldn’t help but feel strange in the explanation.
“He said that? That’s strange. This incident was carried out by the gray-haired demon king who ran away after being devastated in the Ganghwado disaster, and brought in his comrades. If what he said about not caring about other demons is true, then this incident shouldn’t have happened. Isn’t it?”
“That’s right. But according to what he said, that demon named Renchik was a special species. It was so annoying that he begged for help from other demons, and in the end, he said he didn’t want to keep seeing that, so he moved. That demon named Renchik died. Now, there is almost no chance of that happening.”
The head of the National Intelligence Service did not seem too worried about the matter.
Because he had worked in an intelligence agency for a long time, he had a keen eye for judging whether a person was telling the truth or not.
In his opinion, Jin was a puppy from the beginning.
His eyes were completely weak and full of fear, and he couldn’t even make eye contact properly.
It was truly a look worthy of being called a defeated soldier.
In addition, as a warning, they started by inflicting severe pain through torture.
In his experience, no one could tell a lie in such a state.
And as he was sure, much of what Jin confessed clearly matched the information Sihyeon brought.
Therefore, the remaining words were considered to be trustworthy with a very high probability.
Sihyeon also guessed that the head of the National Intelligence Service deeply believed what he confessed.
Of course, there was a high probability that the National Intelligence Service director’s judgment was correct.
Experts in interrogation would have interrogated you, mentally and physically tormenting you for 24 hours a day, asking the same questions over and over again and thoroughly testing you to see if you were speaking coherently.
In addition, didn’t you say that most of it matches the information you brought earlier?
but.
Sihyeon opened her mouth again.
“As you said, even if the probability is slim, if something happens, great damage may occur. We must be thoroughly prepared.”
“Of course, you are correct. Of course, we have prepared preparations.”
“which?”
In response to Sihyeon’s question, the head of the National Intelligence Service looked in Ryu Geon-woo’s direction.
“All the S-class awakened people in Korea, including the president of the association, will thoroughly mark the area where he is. Of course, since he has been near the special detention center twice, he may come there again. I will send an S-class person there as well. That’s my opinion. Since the manager is there, we’ll be able to fully respond if something happens there.”
“…okay.”
Sihyeon nodded.
Still, it was fortunate that they tried to prepare by using the strongest force available.
but.
Something still bothered me.
“If you have any better opinions, please feel free to tell us. This is for that purpose.”
Ryu Geon-woo said with a smile on his face.
“No, just do it.”
Sihyeon answered.
I had no particular thoughts in mind right now.
And among the measures the government could take, there would be no plan to move power above S level.
Unless you ask foreign countries for help.
‘still… .’
Right now, Rachel Sinchang was next to Sihyeon.
He also told me to ask for as much help as I could, and he actually helped me a lot with this matter.
As long as she was there, I felt somewhat relieved.
“Then let’s leave that aside, and next time….”
The Director of the National Intelligence Service opened his mouth and brought up the next topic.
◈ ◈ ◈
“Did you not predict the abnormality gate that occurred in Korea this time?”
A middle-aged man with vain eyes that seemed to have lived the whole world opened his mouth.
That man was none other than the Sword Saint.
“no.”
Someone answered briefly.
He was a young man with dull brown hair and pale skin that looked as if it had not been exposed to sunlight.
Unusually, the man’s left eye was blue and his right eye was red.
“then?”
Geomseong asked with a vain look in his eyes.
“Because there was no need to tell you.”
“That means everything is as planned.”
“That’s right.”
The young man smiled softly.
His words continued.
“In the demon world, there are five demon lords with particularly powerful power. They are literally the demon lords of demon lords. Their stars shine so intensely that you can’t see any gaps at all. But….”
“….”
“A faint light of death appeared on one of the stars. When I thought deeply about why that was, I could picture the entire situation. So I did not inform Korea. To lead that demon lord down the path of death.”
