Episode 202
“Hello, Chief.”
The female employee who discovered Sihyeon stood up and greeted him with a bright smile.
Sihyeon also greeted me with a smile.
“Chief, are you inside?”
“Yes, you are there. Come on in.”
Sihyeon knocked on the door twice, then opened the door to the director’s office and entered.
“Oh, welcome back. Our hero, Chief.”
The director, who was reading documents on the desk, stood up to greet Sihyeon when she came in.
With a smile on his face, he patted Sihyeon’s back as if encouraging him.
The way the director looked at the vision was as if he was looking at a very precious treasure trove.
How could it not be so?
He is a hero who has saved the detention center several times. Not only that, but he was also almost the only prison guard whose name was held in high esteem.
Not only the warden but all of his fellow prison guards had special feelings about Si-hyeon choosing to remain in the detention center despite being awakened to S-class status.
“Come on, sit there.”
The director and Si-hyeon sat across from each other on the sofa.
“Are there any difficulties at work?”
“Nothing at all.”
“That’s a good thing.”
The director offered Sihyeon some black tea made by himself.
Sihyeon said thank you and accepted the tea.
The warden continued.
“It is no different than what I called you.”
“yes.”
“Because I have one thing to tell you.”
“What is it?”
“As you know, you are the head of the security department. But at the same time, you are also a very valuable S-class awakened person in Korea. Headquarters also understands your position well.”
“yes.”
The director took a sip of the tea in front of him and opened his mouth again.
“Of course, it can be said that the responsibility as the head of the security department is enormous. The security department is a key department among the core departments in the department. But objectively, I don’t think it can be compared to something like this where a serious gate opens and many people are at risk. .”
Sihyeon looked at the warden’s face without answering and waited for his next words.
“This shows how great the responsibility you have as an S-class awakened person is.”
“yes.”
Sihyeon also took some black tea and moistened her mouth.
“So, instructions have been sent from headquarters to be as considerate as possible to you. I called you here to convey that.”
“I’m just grateful.”
Sihyeon slightly lowered her head.
“Our correctional organization is truly grateful to you. Anyway, if there is anything urgent, you can report it later, so act with peace of mind. If you are not there, the security corrections officer can take over the role of the head of the security department. I will also speak well to the security corrections officer.”
“Thank you for your words, but I am a prison guard after all. Basically, I plan to be faithful to my role as a prison guard.”
“I know how you feel, but I’ll be honest with you.”
The director drank the remaining black tea and continued speaking.
“As you know, Sadong is running so well right now that it can be said that it couldn’t be run any better. Of course, it’s because of you. The current mood among the inmates is one where they give in to the fact that you are the head of the security department. You have awakened to the S-class. “After I found out it was growing, it got worse.”
“yes.”
“Even without you, just because you are in the position of head of the security department, the inmates listen obediently to what the guards say. So there is no problem even if you are away due to urgent work. The security department works very well. “It is certain that we will return. And since I reported this situation on the ground, headquarters is well aware of it.”
“Is that so?”
“No matter where you are or what important work you do, it is to raise the status of correctional officers. Now, when people see you, they automatically think of you as a correctional officer. You are a hero of our correctional organization. You are a hero who has saved this detention center several times. He is also a hero who raises the status of prison guards.”
“…I’m going to die of embarrassment at these words that are difficult to handle.”
Sihyeon took a sip of black tea with an embarrassed expression.
“Hehe, what a humble person. Anyway, please continue to work hard. Remember that the correctional organization and all the guards are sincerely cheering you on from behind.”
The warden said with a smile.
“all right.”
Sihyeon also had a smile on her face.
◈ ◈ ◈
Time passed quickly.
It’s already been three months since the gate opened.
The season has entered the scorching heat.
“Is everything okay with him?”
Sihyeon asked.
In front of him were Ryu Geon-woo and the head of the National Intelligence Service.
The demon world and demons were currently very important issues for the Hunter Association and the National Intelligence Service.
That is why we held regular meetings and continued discussions.
“Yes, it’s not much different from then. There are no unusual movements at all. He still says only a few words a day and obediently follows the instructions of the management staff.”
The head of the National Intelligence Service answered.
Jin was still imprisoned in an underground facility under the National Intelligence Service.
There is a risk that information may be leaked if moved to another correctional facility.
In that respect, the NIS basement was the best option for secretly confining him.
“Have you found out anything else…?”
Sihyeon asked again.

“I think I’ve already found out everything there is to know about him.”
The head of the National Intelligence Service responded.
Because he was obedient from the beginning, I was able to find out a lot from him fairly quickly.
Therefore, we had now obtained considerable information about the demon world and the demon race.
However, he said that demons are basically a race of people who are indifferent to other demons, so they don’t know much about other demons.
Even though I interrogated him harshly, he continued to say that consistently.
I’m not telling a lie.
The head of the National Intelligence Service and the staff in charge of the interrogation made that judgment.
Because of this, it was not possible to find out detailed information about other demons.
Still, I didn’t know that it was better in some way.
If the demons weren’t that kind of race, they might have already come here with their armies.
“okay.”
Sihyeon nodded.
The Director of the National Intelligence Service opened his mouth as he looked at such a vision.
“As I said at the beginning, I don’t think there will be any major problems.”
At the first meeting, he said that due to the nature of the demon race, this would not cause any major problems.
The three-month period made me even more confident in that statement.
“Then I’m glad.”
Unlike the head of the National Intelligence Service, Sihyeon did not relax.
If there was a lesson learned from experiencing quite a few near-death crises, it was a lesson.
You must not let your guard down until the end.
So, so that the guild could quickly get to the place where the National Intelligence Service was located, Toya had set up a teleportation magic circle in a place that was not easily visible to people.
If any problem arises, you can go from home to the guild, and then directly from the guild to the area near the National Intelligence Service.
“I don’t think you need to worry about that.”
The head of the National Intelligence Service spoke once again with a smile on his face.
Then he continued.
“By the way, is it possible to find out about America’s movements through that acquaintance in the United States?”
“That is unreasonable. That acquaintance is not a spy and just gave me information as a favor.”
“Oh, of course I know what you mean, but I don’t know how I can do that favor one more time.”
“You can’t embarrass someone you know.”
Sihyeon hung up without hesitation.
I knew that the relationship between Poachim and Miriam was not normal.
However, I was reluctant to actively gain something from that relationship.
Of course, I was willing to ask for help if I really needed it.
However, that was only based on Sihyeon’s own judgment.
I was completely unwilling to do such a thing at the request or pressure of someone.
“Is that so… that’s a shame.”
The head of the National Intelligence Service looked disappointed.
Finding out important information about the United States is difficult.
In particular, it was almost impossible to find out the most important information, such as conquering the demon world.
With that much information, it was obvious that security would be more thorough than expected.
Again, if it were not for a vision, the United States would have had no idea until it took action.
In any case, it was clear that the acquaintance held a fairly high position in the United States.
It was a way for Korea to obtain high-quality information, but since the person who could obtain the information was so stubborn, it was inevitable.
The head of the National Intelligence Service opened his mouth again.
“Honestly, there is nothing we can do right now. It is not something our country can handle. We have no choice but to wait for the United States’ actions. First, after seeing the United States’ actions, we will have to decide what action to take.”
The plan to conquer the demon world was too large a project.
It was a project that almost depended on the future of the country and could not be overstated.
The scale is not a joke.
So, trying to gain some advantage through behind-the-scenes diplomacy under the pretext of knowing such information was an act of insanity.
The government knows this very well, which is why the government is keeping silent.
“If the United States succeeds in conquering the Demon World and gains a large amount of territory, a major conflict may arise on Earth.”
Ryu Geon-woo opened his mouth.
There would be no way China or Russia would sit idly by and watch as their rivals became incredibly stronger.
“But anyway, there is not a single country that can claim ownership of the land of the demon world. The owner of that land is nothing but an enemy who cannot coexist with humanity. So the United States takes the lead and sheds blood to eliminate the demons, the enemies of humanity. There is a reason to claim that it is a price. How many countries would dare to say something to the United States, which is not a weak country but the most powerful country, if it even had a justification. China and Russia, but not all, the powerful countries of the pro-American bloc, such as the UK and Japan, are supporting the United States. “It is obvious that they will try to take advantage of any lost profits. Moreover, the United States has one decisive and unshakable advantage, so it will have no hesitation.”
The head of the National Intelligence Service said while raising one finger.
“What is that?”
“The only country that has the ability to open a passage from Earth to the Demon World is the United States.”
“that….”
Ryu Geon-woo realized what he was saying and opened his eyes wide.
Now they have held a demon captive. And the demons had the ability to open the gate to the demon world.
“The United States is probably planning to kill all the demons. Don’t human rights only apply to humans?”
Demons clearly have a similar appearance to humans.
But not human.
To real humans, demons were threatening enemies, closer to monsters than humans, regardless of their appearance.
No country can say anything no matter how many monsters you kill.
Therefore, the United States would have thought that it could exterminate the demons without any hesitation.
If so… .
The head of the National Intelligence Service, who saw Ryu Geon-woo’s expression and read his thoughts, nodded.
“Yes, only America holds the key to the Demon World.”
According to the information from the vision, the great sage of both eyes knew a way to go to the demon world.
If all the demons disappeared, he would be the only one who knew.
And if things really go as expected, the value of the prisoners currently being held in Korea is… .
Ryu Geon-woo swallowed his dry saliva.
Then he opened his mouth.
“…Isn’t it possible that the United States already knows about this incident?”
“That’s probably not true. Hasn’t it already been three months since the United States sent a message expressing regret for not being able to predict the gate this time? If they had known, there’s no way they would have stayed quiet all this time. So, did the United States know that a demon came out of this gate? “It’s clear I didn’t catch it. There wasn’t even a chance.”
The head of the National Intelligence Service spoke decisively.
As he said, if the United States had known based on common sense, it would not have remained silent until now.
“Anyway.”
The head of the National Intelligence Service continued.
“It is clear that he is a very valuable prisoner. I believe that the president and manager of the association will pay special attention to security.”
This matter was directly addressed to the President.
Neither the Prime Minister nor the ministers knew anything about it.
Even in the National Intelligence Service and the Hunter Association, which were closely related to this incident, only a few people knew about it.
Si-hyeon and Ryu Geon-woo nodded as if they understood.
◈ ◈ ◈
“Dagin has arrived.”
The goblin used as an errand boy bowed his head deeply and said.
“okay?”
Igni, the Demon Lord of Flame, looked puzzled.
Dagin, the demon king of fortune and fate, was a special species among demons.
He was the only demon without his own territory, and lived as a wanderer in the demon world.
All the other demons thought him strange, but he continued his wandering life without any concern for the opinions of those around him.
Of course, he wasn’t just a wanderer.
He had the ability to read the future.
Therefore, there were demons who tried to tell him his future fate by telling fortunes, but he stubbornly refused each time.
He was never a great person who would tell others first if he didn’t feel like it.
Why is he like that all of a sudden?
“Please come in.”
After hearing that, the goblin quickly went out, and soon a man came in.
It was a man with snow-white hair that did not match his youthful face.
He was Dagin, the Demon King of Fortune and Fortune.
“It’s been a while, Dagin. What happened?”
Igni asked.
“Lenchik is dead.”
Dagin answered.
Although he spoke briefly without any further explanation, Igni could immediately understand what he meant.
Lenchik is dead?
Lenchik’s death means that his younger brother who went with him… .
Igni’s red eyebrows twitched.
“What about Jin?”
“He’s not dead.”
“What do you mean?”
“He was taken prisoner by humans.”
