Episode 185: The Coming Nightmare
Heukik’s hideout located in a remote area of Gyeonggi-do.
There, the members of Heuk-Ik each sat on the sofa of their choice and waited for their leader, Mumyeong.
[Hello~ Baekseong people~ Today, I’m thinking of trying my hand at the idol dance imitation challenge that’s popular these days~ So, let’s get started right away!]
[♩♪♬~]
“Keuheu… , no matter how many times I watch it, I never get tired of it.”
At that time.
“Hey, Mr. Pervert. Could you please stop smiling so sinisterly? I feel like I’m going to vomit. Also, please lower your voice a bit. Tsk, how rude of a person to be like this.”
Towards Eunho Cha, who was lying on the sofa watching YouTube and laughing with sticky desire.
Choi Seo-hee, wearing a white gown, scolded him in a contemptuous voice, telling him to be quiet.
but.
“Huh. Shut up, you damn pharmacist.”
Eunho Cha rather growled as if telling her not to disturb his personal time… .
“Oh, I’m sorry. I made a mistake. It wasn’t a person, it was just a horny young animal. I made a mistake trying to talk to the animal.”
Choi Seo-hee did not back down at Cha Eun-ho’s reaction, but instead brought her hand to her mouth and sneered at him.
-Bam-
Then, Cha Eun-ho, unable to endure Choi Seo-hee’s provocation, exploded and stood up, wrapped his hands in crimson magic power and began to exude a murderous aura.
“Ha, this bitch keeps crawling when I tell her to. Do you really want to die?”
“Oh my, if someone saw you, they would think you were much stronger. Why don’t we have a proper fight? Let’s see who will be the first to surrender, with my [drug] and your [charm].”
However, Choi Seo-hee did not take a single step back from Cha Eun-ho’s threatening attitude, and instead, she wrapped her entire body in crimson magic power and took an attitude of wanting to fight at any moment.
-Phajijik!-
The battle of wits between the two unfolded like that.
“…I don’t have to tell you?”
At that time, Rose, who was watching this, calmly asked Gil Ho-min and Yu Da-in, who were doing their own thing, if it was okay for them not to stop those two people.
“I think we’re on good terms, so I think it’s okay to just leave us alone.”
“Haha, it’s nice to see you both in such good spirits as usual.”
Gilhomin and Yudain didn’t even glance at the two people and just said what they wanted to say, then soon started to focus on their cell phones and Bibles again.
‘… Well, it doesn’t matter since two people much older than me said that.’
After that, Rose also became interested in Cha Eun-ho and Choi Seo-hee, who only growled at each other and did not actually fight.
-Tododok-
He tapped on the laptop on his lap and began reviewing the materials that Anonymous had sent for the meeting that was to be held today.
And a little later.
-Kugugugugugu!-
With a huge noise echoing throughout the hideout.
-Thump thump-
Someone slowly approached the secret space where the members of Heuk-Ik were gathered, revealing themselves.
The person who revealed himself was a man with an ordinary appearance and wearing a neat hanbok.
“Everyone has arrived.”
He glanced around the entire hideout, then naturally walked over and sat down on an empty sofa.
-dump-
It’s so scary for a man to sit down like that.
“Is this your new body? Your clothes are a bit unusual.”
Choi Seo-hee speaks to the man as if she is familiar with him, even though it is clear that he is seeing her for the first time.
To Choi Seo-hee’s question, Moo-myeong nodded his head slightly in agreement.
“It was a necessary preliminary work for this work. Well, anyway, since everyone is here, let’s start the meeting.”
At that moment, Gil Ho-min, who had been silently listening to the anonymous story, asked him about Baek Yoo-seong, who did not exist there, with a questioning voice.
“Captain, is the brat not participating this time?”
-Nod-
Then, the unknown nodded as if to say yes, and then said something meaningful.
“I plan to keep the contents of this meeting a secret from Baek Yoo-seong. He has already contributed sufficiently to this plan, and I have decided that ‘not knowing is bliss’ in many ways.”
“Huh, what a jealous kid. I don’t want to have meetings and just play around with beauties… .”
“This is not the time to be talking nonsense, Cha Eun-ho. Lucifer himself has come to reprimand me. For the failures of Jeju Island and Hongdae Gate… ”
As the nameless man finished speaking with a cold tone, a heavy silence began to flow among the members of Heuk-Ik for a moment.
““… … .””
But that silence was short-lived.
Eun-ho Cha, who had an expression of confusion and fear unlike usual, soon refuted the anonymous story as if it was unfair.
“… Okay, wait a minute. Jeju Island and Hongdae weren’t our fault, right? The gate failed, but at least we didn’t fail… .”
“You know that, Cha Eun-ho. The process doesn’t matter. He only sees the results, which are called ‘karma.’ And we failed at the Jirisan Gate, and now at the Hongdae and Jeju Island Gates.”
“… Yeah. So what, we can’t open the gate while we’re running low on karma. Are you saying we should all commit terrorism together to collect the missing karma?”
“Huh, is there anything that would make you die so heroically like you did seven years ago? Of course, the captain has a plan. Oh, but since my head is full of thoughts about copulation, I can only think of such one-dimensional thoughts. I understand.”
“What…? This bitch, she’s been causing trouble since a while ago… … .”
At that moment, Eun-ho Cha could no longer stand Seo-hee Choi’s continued arguing and was about to throw a punch at her.
“Please stop, everyone.”
-Stop-
Eunho Cha had no choice but to stop his actions immediately at the sudden cold voice.
The owner of that voice is none other than the leader of the Masin Church, Judas.
-widely-
Unlike his usual gentle demeanor, Judain, who had been giving off a very sharp vibe, closed the Bible he was reading and immediately gave a cold warning to Choi Seo-hee and Cha Eun-ho.

“I don’t think now is the time to fight with each other, but you guys should read the mood. Since he’s upset, we have to make this plan a success no matter what.”
Then, the two people who knew well the personality of the Jew, who was usually gloomy but became extremely sharp when talking about the devil… .
“… Okay, I understand. I’m sorry.”
“… Tch.”
They each took a step back, as if they were about to start a fight.
And soon, when the heated atmosphere completely calmed down, Moo-myeong finally started talking about his full-fledged plan.
“Now that you seem to have calmed down a bit, let’s start the story. Rose, show everyone the photos you sent.”
“Yeah, I understand.”
Immediately after that, Rose placed the laptop that was on her lap on the table in front of her.
-Whirik-
I turned my laptop the other way so that all the members of Heuk-Ik could see it.
Then, two pictures appeared on the laptop screen.
““… … .””
Gil Ho-min, who had been staring blankly at the two photos, soon began talking about one of the people in the photos that he knew.
“One is Han Su-yeon. The daughter of the great hero Han Si-hyeok and Jeong Se-bin.”
“Yeah. The other one… I don’t know who it is, but I like their face.”
“Hmm… , what is it? I feel like I’ve seen it somewhere… … Ah.”
“Do you know who it is, Eunho Cha?”
In response to Gil Ho-min’s question, Cha Eun-ho opened his mouth with a still puzzled expression.
“No, I thought it was the guy I saw when the Sindorim Station gate video was posted on YouTube before, but he seems a little different. That guy back then was much uglier than the guy in this picture.”
‘You’re right to say that, even though you’re much uglier.’
At that moment, Choi Seo-hee, who was listening silently from the side, felt the urge to spit out the words that were rising to the tip of her tongue.
There was also the warning from the Jews earlier, so I used superhuman patience and swallowed it back inside.
Anyway, at that time, none of the members of Heuk-Ik who were observing the photo could guess the identity of the boy in the photo.
“This guy is Kim Baram. He’s a first-year cadet at the Korean Player Academy.”
Anonymous brought up the boy in the photo and then explained why he had shown the photo of these two people.
“And these two are the disciples of the Guildmasters of Salvation and Baekhwa, Cheon Yu-ha and Baek A-rin respectively. To add, Han Su-yeon is on the Guild’s side and Kim Baram is on the Baekhwa’s side.”
“Huh? Your disciple?”
“Wait a minute, Captain. Han Su-yeon, well, the first Guild Leader of Salvation was Han Si-hyeok, so even so, is that guy Kim Baram really reliable information? According to the Baekhwa I know, he wouldn’t be someone who would easily take on a disciple. Especially if he’s an ordinary guy that none of us know… … .”
“No, I’m sure.”
To Gil Ho-min’s question mixed with doubt, Moo-myeong answered with confidence.
“I saw that guy’s picture in the Baekhwa office when I infiltrated the Baekhwa Guild last time. And since it was information that Baek Yoo-seong got from his master, there’s no doubt about it.”
“… Then it must be certain.”
“By the way, what does this have to do with these two people and this plan, Mr. Anonymous?”
Before answering the Jewish question that followed, Anonymous reached out and manipulated the laptop to show the following screen.
-widely-
“… Hmm? The bracket?”
“It looks like it’s the Academy’s strongest competition. Judging by the number of familiar names, it looks like it’s a matchup between first-year students.”
-Nod-
Choi Seo-hee nodded as if her guess was correct.
And his explanation followed immediately.
“That’s right, the quarterfinals have concluded today. And coincidentally, Han Su-yeon and Kim Baram, who I just saw, will be facing off in the semifinals tomorrow.”
“Han Su-yeon, even if that’s possible, seeing as how the boy named Kim Baram made it to the semifinals, it seems like he has some considerable skills. Is that what it takes to be a disciple of Baekhwa?”
“No, I don’t think that’s true.”
At that moment, when Choi Seo-hee spoke up, seeming a little surprised by Kim Baram’s skills, Rose, who had been listening silently, immediately and firmly denied her opinion.
“I watched all the games because of my job as a reporter, but Kim Baram isn’t that skilled. He doesn’t seem to have much talent either. In my opinion, he seems to be a player who wins based on luck, quick judgment, and strategy.”
“Huh. Well, I guess it’s just a kid’s level. Anyway, so what? What does their going to the semifinals have to do with our plans?”
When Cha Eun-ho cut off the conversation as if he was not interested and asked Moo-myeong about the plan, Moo-myeong quietly turned his head and looked at Yu Da-in.
-Swoosh-
And then, soon, she opened her mouth to ask him a question.
“Jews, how far can you go with the sacrifices you have collected so far?”
Then, as soon as Anonymous finished asking his question,
The Jew immediately noticed the anonymous’s intentions and asked him a question in return.
“… Are you sure you’re not going to use it on them tomorrow, Anonymous?”
“Yes, originally we were going to wait until the offerings were all gathered. But Lucifer had given us his order, and the situation itself was the best for us. Cheonma and Baekhwa are definitely going to watch their match.”
“The best situation… . That would certainly be the case. If we succeed, it would be an opportunity to tie up Cheonma and Baekhwa for at least half a day.”
“I also plan to tie up the purple witch. I’ll use the white meteor.”
“… That’s why you excluded him from today’s meeting. If Yoo Sung-ssi knew about the plan in advance, there’s a risk that Baek Hwa and Cheon Ma, who have sensitive senses, might find out.”
-Nod-
Instead of answering the Jew’s guess, the nameless man nodded slightly and then told the Jew what else he needed to do.
“And if you use that ability, you will definitely have at least one person attached to you, Judas. In any case, I want you to take charge of that person and tie him up as much as possible. If you can kill him, that would be even better.”
“Yes, I will give it a try.”
one side.
“Captain, so while those three are tied up, are we going to commit terrorism? If those three aren’t there, the risk would be significantly reduced….”
While the nameless and the Jewish were talking, Gil Ho-min, who had been listening silently, asked the nameless about the rest of the plan… .
-Thump thump-
“No, this time I won’t commit terrorism.”
Moo-myeong immediately shook his head and told the story of the information he had obtained from someone other than Baek Yu-seong.
“According to a separate informant, Sa Ju-hee had already foreseen the danger.”
“Tch, that’s tricky. That shaman.”
“So, the current state of alertness of the Association and the eight major guilds is extremely high, so if there is any terrorist activity, there is a very high chance that it will be suppressed without any significant results.”
“Then what should I do? No gates, no terrorism. Oh, are you looking for the Angel Shard? You said that killing those bitches would generate a lot of karma… … .”
“Do you think that makes sense, Eunho Cha? If I could have found the angel piece, I would have found it a long time ago.”
“No, then what the heck is it?”
Eunho Cha muttered as if he was also frustrated with Gilhomin’s nagging… .
-Swoosh-
After watching Cha Eun-ho’s reaction for a moment, Moo-myeong raised his finger and pointed upwards, then opened his mouth in a serious voice.
“I’m going to use the guys above.”
Then, the nameless man was afraid to speak.
““… … !””
Everyone except for Anonymous opened their eyes wide in surprise, and soon they all started talking about Anonymous’ hidden trick.
“… Are you finally going to use that card?”
“There was a reason you asked me to tie up one more person.”
“… It certainly seems possible.”
“Yes, Cheon Yu-ha, Baek A-rin, and Jeong Da-bin. Even without these three, we could still cause a lot of damage…”
“Well, it’s not bad… But anyway, anonymous.”
“Why are you like that, Cha Eun-ho?”
When Eunho Cha called, Moo-myung immediately looked towards Eunho Cha… .
-Reservoir-
Eun-ho Cha, who had been picking his nose and making a blank expression, asked about something he had been curious about after hearing the anonymous plan.
“So, except for the Jews, we just have to watch and watch while digging our noses into this plan?”
“… You were unusually sharp, Cha Eun-ho. Of course not. We have our own work to do. For now, Choi Seo-hee, focus on completing Project H and Project D like before. And…”
After stopping talking for a moment, Moo-myeong took a deep breath… .
-Shh-
A deep smile soon appeared on his lips, and he immediately began talking about what the remaining members of Heuk-Ik would do.
“The rest of you, come with me and take advantage of the chaos to surprise and assassinate the most annoying guys.”
***
-North Korea, Pyongyang
-Tick tock-tick tock-
“Brother~ Brother Alfredo~”
“You don’t have to shout so loud, I can hear you, Nick.”
At Alfredo’s words, Nick raised his hand, scratched his skull, and laughed awkwardly.
“Hehe, sorry.”
“No need to be sorry, what’s wrong?”
“Ah! Isn’t that guy who came earlier the subordinate of your colleague? I wonder what he told you, hyung. Hehehe.”
“Hehehe… .”
Then Alfredo moved his lower jaw and laughed happily, and soon answered the question of his priest, Nick.
“The opportunity to atone for your sins has finally come, Nick.”
“Oh! It’s finally here! Wow~ It’s been 12 years. I seriously thought I’d die from waiting so long… Oh, but I’m already dead, hehehe.”
“Anyway, since that’s the case, get ready, Nick. The time is tomorrow at 3 PM. When they give you the signal, you can launch an all-out attack.”
“Yes, I understand, Brother Alfredo. By the way, I’m really looking forward to it.”
“Haha, me too. It’s been so long that my heart is pounding… Ah, my heart is gone now.”
Anyway, right after that.
Nick and Alfredo are clearly enjoying their long-awaited outing….
-Pfft!-
Within, each of them had a crimson glow in their eyes that seemed to exude ominousness.
““Hoo hoo hoo hoo… .””
They let out a sinister laugh and simultaneously blurted out the words that were their purpose and their Master’s wish.
““May all who live and breathe be blessed with eternal life.””
