When Seo Kang-rim started to look troubled, Yu Ha-rang looked a little sad.
Yu Harang glanced at Seo Kang Rim and said.
“This is really good… … . It’s a big prize… … .”
“Okay, I’ll be your friend.”
“Yeah, that’s right!”
When Seo Kang-rim reluctantly agreed, Yu Ha-rang finally smiled.
Then he took out more snacks and filled Seo Kang-rim’s hands with them.
“Okay, Mr. Seo. Eat.”
“Isn’t this the leader’s treasure?”
“I’m giving it to you specially because you’re my friend.”
After saying that, Yuharang picked up a piece of candy and started to nibble on it.
I could tell how much he had been saving up even on a regular basis.
Seo Kang-rim thought about Yu Ha-rang from his previous life.
I was just a normal kid who loved to eat.
“Don’t they give out snacks in the church?”
“Yes.”
The food that the believer brought just a moment ago was limited to white porridge and side dishes of vegetables.
At first glance, it looked like temple food.
Seo Kang-rim looked down at the snacks silently and said.
“There are many delicious things outside besides these snacks.”
“Really?”
“Yes. There are many people among my friends who like sweet things. I think they would like to meet Yuha and you.”
Shin Soo-ah, Jang Tae-heon, Yoon Bom, Yoon Gyul-woo, Father Yohan… … .
I have never met Yuharang in this life, but I knew that if I did, I would definitely like her.
“Aren’t you curious about the outside, Reverend?”
“outside……?”
“I can take you out.”
Yuharang’s eyes seemed to waver for a moment with hesitation.
But soon a firm answer came back.
“No, that can’t be.”
The face that had been excited just a moment ago had calmed down.
A feeling of intimidation that is not appropriate for a young child.
Yuharang said in a cold voice.
“This body is the leader of Seongeun-gyo. There are many people waiting for me. I cannot abandon them.”
Yu Ha-rang had an eye for understanding the essence, but that eye was covered by Yoo Seon-min.
Yu Harang had been brainwashed for a long time, and would deny it even if shown the truth.
Even if the believers know that they have been brainwashed by Yoo Seon-min, they still think that there is something going on.
Is kidnapping by force really the best option?
“Okay, thanks for the fun story. For now, go away. Come visit often later and I’ll give you some snacks… .”
At that moment, Yu Harang stopped talking and looked back at the door.
Seo Kang-rim also heard the sound coming from that direction.
It was the sound of many people’s footsteps.
“Someone is coming, hide quickly. If you get caught by Vice-Chief Yoo Seon-min, you’ll be in big trouble! Hide over there!”
Yuharang pointed urgently at a nearby curtain.
Seo Kang-rim hesitated for a moment, then quickly hid himself after letting Yu Ha-rang sit on the throne.
And almost at the same time the door opened.
“Vice President Yoo Seon-min, what’s going on?”
Yu Harang, who was sitting in her seat, looked at the people who came in with a calm expression.
Yoo Seon-min stood with a calm expression, accompanied by people.
He nodded slightly.
“I came to say hello.”
Yoo Seon-min said that and looked around.
As if someone was trying to find something.
Yuharang sat there, pretending to be calm, with a hardened expression.
“I heard you beat up everyone, so I came to see what was going on. You didn’t eat.”
“I haven’t eaten yet because I don’t have an appetite.”
“You have to eat well. And… … .”
Yoo Seon-min said with a smiling face.
“Do you have something to hide from me?”
“There is no such thing.”
“Do you think a holy man would have lies in his mouth? Did I teach you so?”
Yuharang couldn’t bring herself to refute those words.
My body froze up as if under a spell.
Then a gentle voice was heard again.
“Tell me honestly what happened. What happened while people were out?”
A gentle yet firm command.
Yuharang’s face turned pale, and then her mouth slowly opened.

There was a look of fear on his face.
“Oh, one of the believers… … came in transformed into a rat… … .”
“Where are you now?”
Yuharang slowly raised her hand, her lips pursed tightly.
The direction the trembling finger was pointing to was where Seo Kang-rim was hiding.
Yoo Seon-min glanced over and said.
“Pull it out.”
As soon as Yoo Seon-min finished giving his instructions, one of the believers immediately pulled back the curtain.
Seo Kang-rim immediately released his ‘hermit’ and revealed himself.
‘Even if I hide my appearance now, I’ll still get caught. And Yu Harang has a special ability too.’
If you release the ‘Hermit’ with ‘Forced Release’, only your own ability will be revealed.
Yoo Seon-min laughed bitterly as he saw Seo Kang-rim appear in front of the people.
“I don’t know who that is… … . A little rat has snuck in.”
The believers took out their swords from their waists and aimed them at Seo Kang-rim.
Seo Kang-rim covered his face with one hand and quickly looked at people’s fortunes.
‘They are all trance-like. They are ordinary people.’
Looking at their eyes, they all seemed to have been brainwashed.
In principle, you can’t use your powers against a non-taster, but now wasn’t the time to be thinking about that.
With this number, subduing them wasn’t difficult.
But the problem was Yuharang.
‘Can I get Yuharang out safely?’
Before we knew it, Yu Ha-rang was being held captive by Yoo Seon-min.
Although she seemed scared, Yoo Ha-rang was clearly on Yoo Seon-min’s side.
There was no use fighting anyone here and now.
While Seo Kang-rim was observing the situation, Yoo Seon-min gave instructions to the people.
“Catch him. I need to hear his story.”
“Yes, Vice-President.”
The believers gradually came closer to Seo Kang-rim.
Everyone’s eyes were not normal.
It seemed as if he would stab me as soon as Yoo Seon-min gave the order.
Seo Kang-rim took action first.
-Snap!
“Ugh, eww!”
“Okay, catch him! He’s running away!”
Seo Kang-rim knocked down a believer blocking the entrance and quickly escaped outside.
People ran after him belatedly, but Seo Kang-rim was nowhere to be seen.
Yoo Seon-min shouted with the veins on his neck standing out.
“Everyone, find it! You absolutely cannot miss it!”
“Yes, Vice-President!”
The believers ran outside in a panic.
Yoo Seon-min also left the room and ran to where the broadcasting equipment was.
He grabbed the microphone with an urgent look on his face.
[Notice to all believers.]
Yoo Seon-min’s voice traveled through the microphone and spread throughout the facility.
People who had been smiling brightly and chatting froze like dolls when they heard that voice.
[We have confirmed that there is an intruder. Close all doors and search for the intruder.]
The light disappeared from people’s eyes.
The facial expressions also all looked bleached.
They heard Yoo Seon-min’s voice and began blocking all the entrances with mechanical movements.
-Thud, boom!
A thick iron gate that doesn’t fit in a place like this.
The windows were also blocked with iron plates.
The building was sealed off so tightly that not even a single rat could escape.
[The intruder is a young man, about 180cm tall, with the ability to transform into an animal. If you find any animals within the facility, kill them.]
After giving those instructions, Yoo Seon-min turned off the microphone.
As he was gnashing his teeth, a senior believer next to him asked cautiously.
“Could they be the believer’s family?”
“No. I don’t think that’s the purpose of my coming.”
Often, family members or messengers would come to look for believers who had lost contact.
In fact, that type of intruder didn’t cause much of a nuisance.
All you have to do is brainwash them with the ‘Voice of Brainwashing’ and turn them into another believer.
“It seems like he’s quite capable since he hasn’t been brainwashed and he’s using his supernatural powers. It’s too bad I can’t see his face properly.”
Seo Kang-rim immediately covered my face, so ‘Physiognomy’ couldn’t work properly.
Yoo Seon-min muttered in agony.
“Besides, I came straight here to find Yu Ha-rang. It seems like she knows quite a bit about Seong Eun-gyo. Did she get her tail stepped on?”
“I’ve blocked all information from leaking to the outside world, but… …. It could be someone from the Protectorate.”
Yoo Seon-min’s brow furrowed even more at the mention of the protectorate.
If the Protectorate was watching Seong-eun-gyo, that would be the worst case scenario.
Yoo Seon-min said with a deep sigh.
“If he escapes and calls for reinforcements or comes out for a formal investigation, it will be difficult.”
“Then what should we do?”
“I guess I’ll have to hurry up and prepare a bit more. I’ll bring forward the plan.”
The senior believers looked surprised at the news that the plan was being brought forward.
He asked cautiously.
“Is that okay? I was trying to find a good day… … .”
“There’s nothing I can do. It’s better than the investigation coming out and it all going down the drain. So you go and get ready.”
The senior believer bowed his head and left the room.
Yoo Seon-min was holding his head as if he had a headache.
At that moment, a voice was heard from outside the door.
“It’s Yuharang. I’m going in.”
“… … Come in.”
After a while, Yu Harang came in, sitting in a wheelchair.
Yuharang had very anxious eyes.
“Vice-Chief Yoo Seon-min, are you planning to catch that outsider and punish him?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
“He is just a poor soul. He doesn’t know where he is wandering in the corrupted outside world… … .”
“Why do you care so much about that outsider?”
A sharp voice cut off Yuharang’s words.
Yoo Seon-min was looking at Yoo Ha-rang with eyes as sharp as his voice.
A gaze that seems to be trying to dig into one’s inner self.
He said, glaring at Yuharang.
“I knew that the cult leader was collecting things from the outside world.”
“… … !”
“I thought it was because you were so immature, so I pretended not to know… … .”
Yoo Seon-min approached and matched Yoo Ha-rang’s eye level.
When we met eyes straight on, Yu Ha-rang lowered her head without realizing it.
“Do you want to go outside with that outsider?”
“No, no! I just… … !”
“Will you abandon these many people of Seong-eun-gyo? Will you abandon all those who cry out to you for salvation?”
Yuharang bit her lips hard.
As the silence continued, a small voice leaked out.
“… … I never thought of such things. I am the leader of the Seongeun Church. I stand on the side of the weak. I can do anything for that.”
It was a voice filled only with sincerity.
Yoo Seon-min also seemed to have noticed that fact, and only then did his expression soften and he smiled.
More gentle and affectionate than anyone else, just like when preaching.
“Yes, you should do that.”
He stroked Yuharang’s head with satisfaction.
Yuharang silently accepted the touch.
Although Yoo Seon-min’s anger seemed to have subsided somewhat, Yoo Ha-rang could not feel at ease.
‘That guy… …I hope he escaped safely?’
Seo Kang-rim, who ran away, became a source of worry for many reasons.
All the believers were already chasing after him.
Although they have the ability to transform into animals, the number of believers is in the hundreds.
‘If I get caught, I’ll be in big trouble… … .’
Even Yoo Ha-rang didn’t know what would happen if she was caught by Yoo Seon-min.
But it was clear that it was not a light punishment.
While Yu Ha-rang remained silent, Yoo Seon-min slowly pushed the wheelchair outside.
Yuharang asked after checking the direction of movement.
“Aren’t you going back to your room?”
“Yes. The location there has already been exposed… … .”
Yoo Seon-min said with a smile.
“We decided to bring the ceremony date forward to today.”
“… … .”
Yu Harang’s expression hardened even more at the word consciousness.
In contrast, Yoo Seon-min was smiling.
Yoo Seon-min said with a sinister and mean smile.
“Then please take good care of the ritual, Reverend.”
