Dark Curtain Hunt (2)
Su Myat Moon, an Earthling from Myanmar.
She was an awakened person who entered the Sungcheon Yun family as a guest in the early days of the transmission and is now in her fifth year.
‘I guess I was lucky to have been transferred to the Yun family’s realm, which was friendly to Earthlings from the beginning.’
Of course, other powers also promised good treatment to people from another world.
Not only the royal families of the two great powers, but also large and small organizations including lords and great merchants were supporting the Earthlings.
However, among them, Seongcheon Yunga, who had the unique characteristic of having a founder from another world, had particularly good conditions.
She grew up steadily under their protection.
Even if it was to accumulate karma, I couldn’t stay in a safe place forever, but since I could receive help from Yun Ga when I was really in danger, the crisis wasn’t that serious.
‘I am very grateful for that fact.’
Without their help, she would not have survived and grown this far.
In just 5 years since entering the Chakra, not only did he go from the upper level to the depths, but he was also able to greatly strengthen his unique skills and status through Karma.
‘Perhaps if I try my best, I could surpass even the most advanced practitioners?’
To that extent, Miyat was a person from another world who had benefited greatly from support.
But the reason she fell for the sweet talk of betraying and destroying Yun Ga and decided to join in on the action…
‘But that’s that and this is this. I’m not going to live here my whole life, so shouldn’t I try to grab everything I can before I leave?’
···In the end, it was because of greed.
Seongcheon Yunga is one of the major vested interests representing Sabahcheon.
If we succeed in overthrowing such a force, the karma will be truly enormous.
Considering that this could be enough to trigger a war, it would certainly be possible to secure at least the amount needed to return to Earth.
Now that I have nothing to regret here, I can’t miss out on such a golden opportunity, right?
‘It’s not even funny to pretend to protect world peace when you’re promoting child abuse so casually.’
It was still vivid in my memory.
The sight of children lying on the floor, shaking and shaking, shocked by electricity in the name of training.
I didn’t particularly sympathize with those kids.
In the first place, she, a person from another world, couldn’t come forward and say anything about the values of this dimension, and she wasn’t the type of person to empathize with such things and be elated or depressed by them.
It was just one of the small moments that lowered the psychological barrier.
‘I didn’t know it would get discovered this early, though.’
Miyati sighed, frowning.
Originally, I wasn’t planning on ending it already.
I was planning to stay in Yunga until all plans were finished, receive their support as support, and cautiously continue my covert activities, such as joining in on internal shaking whenever necessary…
‘How on earth did you notice? His power was something that even the most accomplished practitioners of the Yun family could not notice.’
A new awakened person named Hoon who recently arrived.
All of their plans were ruined because of the Korean Earthling who was from the same hometown as Yoon Ji-yoon, the founder of the Yoon family.
No matter how great the potential of a unique skill is, outstanding performance requires appropriate reinforcement.
‘···There’s nothing you can do about what’s already happened. Now is the time to think about what’s to come. It’s better to protect yourself as much as possible than to just stand there and stick your legs out.’
Personally, I was proud of myself for thoroughly erasing the evidence, but if Yoonga decides to investigate, I don’t know when or where I could be caught.
Since he had already been discovered once by a man named Hoon, it was wise to quickly get out before he could not escape.
“···Your opinion has been accepted, Su Miyat Moon.”
“Phew, that’s good. Then could you open the way?”
A hut located so remotely that you can’t even tell which country it belongs to.
Inside that small, shabby house, Miyati was talking to a gruff-looking old man.
“Before that, first.”
A strange flash appeared in the old man’s right eye as he looked at her with a cold face.
And he nodded, looking at her intently with his eyes filled with intricate patterns.
“···There’s nothing unusual.”
“I’m not that stupid. I checked several times before coming here. I’ve been through several transit points in the past few days, so even if there was a trace, they would have all fallen off long ago.”
“I don’t know. I can’t completely trust what you say since you failed the mission and came all the way here.”
“Ha! Okay, fine. Anyway, if you’ve checked, could you please open the way?”
“Wait. I sent a message upstairs.”
Miyati let out a small sigh at the old man’s answer.
That’s why I wanted to stay with Yun-ga for as long as possible.
I don’t know if it’s for security reasons, but the procedures they require every time they do something are just too complicated.
Of course, it’s natural considering the position that you can’t stand upright, but isn’t it okay to show some flexibility?
‘There is a limit to being cautious. Even if you fight head-on, you can easily destroy Yun Ga.’
But considering their ultimate goal, it was inevitable that they would be cautious.
If you think about it, taking down Yun Ga was just the beginning.
Kukukung—!
At that moment, a loud noise echoed from behind where the old man was.
I heard it a while ago when I was in Yunga.
It was the noise that I heard as a passageway was connected through the collapsed space.
“Permission has been granted. Come in.”
“Haa, finally.”
Miyat sighed deeply and started walking with stuttering steps.
It had been a few days since I had my identity discovered by Hoon in Yunga until I arrived here.
She had to go around and around in every way possible to avoid any possible pursuit.
In fact, it would have been difficult to reach the higher-ups from the point where their identity was discovered and they ran away from the location.
However, even now, she is a talent with abilities comparable to those of a deep practitioner.

It was not surprising that he received special treatment, as he was expected to be officially promoted to the deep end soon.
Woohoo—
As she entered the passageway, the entrance slowly collapsed, accompanied by a strange vibration.
The gap in space that eventually disappeared completely.
Now all that remained was an old man still sitting in the same seat.
“······.”
He cleaned up the scene without saying a word and left the cabin.
This place was no longer usable, so we had to move on to the next location.
Although his wandering life had continued for more than ten years, he never complained.
‘There’s not much left now. Soon···.’
A fierce sense of anticipation stirring in my chest.
He didn’t notice it as he was moving forward with brisk strides, suppressing it.
Something unknown that could not be observed with the old man’s chakra had already passed through him and his surroundings.
***
“···Tracking failed.”
Lucette, who had come to see Hoon, said with a gloomy face.
“Haa, I thought I finally got a clue···.”
Of course, Yun Ga-do was aware of Miyaw’s escape.
Hoon honestly revealed her to those who sensed something strange and arrived at the scene later, and Yoonga immediately formed a pursuit team and began to track her down as she escaped, but…
It seemed that that too had ended in failure.
“Such preparations are not something that can be made in a day or two. Not only is it necessary to cross the border between Hongsan and Cheonghae, but there are also countless baits and sabotage operations that are laid out along the way. It would be impossible for any force to do so…”
Lucette sighed deeply, as if worried.
A conspiracy of some kind was beginning to take place around Seongcheon Yunga, but they still had no accurate information about the villain.
The attack by the magic practitioners followed before the secret investigation into General Bu-ryeong and Hongsan-guk was even concluded.
First of all, they had to make sure they were identified, but since they couldn’t figure out where the enemy was and where they were from, they couldn’t help but feel frustrated.
“···Recently, the two countries’ movements are unusual. Not only is the border conflict accelerating, but public opinion is also becoming extremely extreme to an unusual degree. This can only be seen as someone working behind the scenes.”
That was the reason why even the Qinghai Kingdom, which seemed to have taken a step back, could not be easily trusted.
The two countries were taking similar actions, as if they had planned it.
“I see. What are the results of the interrogation? I heard that most of the magic practitioners who attacked, as well as those who touched the barrier, were arrested.”
“···There hasn’t been much progress on your side either. In the first place, practitioners of magic aren’t the type of people who can be questioned, and as for those who have joined in the chaos, there’s nothing to say except that someone has been playing with their minds···.”
Lucette spoke cautiously, watching Hoon’s expression.
In fact, the reason she revealed all these intimate details to him was to ask for his cooperation.
No matter what anyone says, he was the only one with the ability to figure out something that even the elders of the family could not figure out.
‘At least a deep-level psychic practitioner intervened. If they hadn’t conducted a thorough examination of the suspects they had arrested, they wouldn’t have noticed it in the first place.’
Even so, the information that could be obtained was extremely limited.
In that situation, there was someone who searched Anton’s mind and brought information about the culprit, so Yoonga had no choice but to say something regrettable to him.
“Hmm, what happened to the spy you suspected of being high up in the hierarchy?”
“Ah, that is···.”
Lucette smiled awkwardly at his question.
That alone gave me an idea of how things were going.
‘Well, if they’re high-ranking, their chakra levels would be extraordinary, so it would be burdensome to investigate their mental state.’
Although it may not be as severe as that of a magic practitioner, contact with the mind of a high-ranking practitioner also carries the risk of one’s image being contaminated.
Besides, for the practitioner, the spiritual world was nothing but his/her everything.
There was no way that the proud high-ranking officers would accept the unreasonable demand that they completely disarm and open up in order to find spies who might or might not exist.
Aren’t even the elders who had the decision-making power under suspicion in the first place?
“···If the spy is cooperating voluntarily, it would be meaningless. Also, if the person investigating has bad intentions, the situation could get worse···.”
Lucette, who had been avoiding eye contact, added a few words.
Hoon didn’t say anything, but he seemed to be hurt by something.
“Okay, I’ll do my best to help if there’s anything I can do.”
She welcomed his words with a bright face.
If we have enough time, we will be able to figure out the evil spirit with just Yun Ga’s power.
Even though they had suffered a setback recently, they had the potential to do it.
But the problem was that there was not enough time.
“Then please come this way. Oh, I was just asking just in case… Are there any magic practitioners…?”
“Hmm, I guess I’ll just have to try it to find out. Well, I don’t think there’ll be any major problems.”
Hoon followed Lucette to where the suspects were being held.
To intervene in their minds and get information, just like I did with Anton.
But he already knew.
This is all just a formality, and whatever new information you learn through this is unlikely to be used.
‘at las.’
···Just now, a fish got caught on the bait I threw out for the first time.
***
A great war that lasted for over a hundred years and finally ended a few decades ago.
The war that has continued for a long time has left deep scars on many people.
It was common for countless people to lose their lives and become disabled.
A dark age for human civilization, with decline in all aspects including society, economy, and culture.
That is why people could not help but be enthusiastic about the brainwashing emperor who put an end to the long war and opened a new era.
Although there was still lingering resentment toward the enemy, it was a time when everyone keenly felt that continuing the war would bring no benefit to either side.
But as is the case with everything in life.
It wasn’t just those who suffered from the war.
There was no need to go all the way to become a magician.
Of course, there were those who benefited from the war, such as merchants who enjoyed the continuous hectic season and those in power who had solidified their positions, as well as lords and mercenaries who saw new opportunities in the war.
In the first place, there was no way the war could have lasted a hundred years just because of the discord among the magic practitioners.
It would have been possible because there was a certain degree of agreement among some vested interests at the time.
To them, the brainwashing and Yun family who had forcibly brought an end to the war were no different from enemies who had taken away their power.
“That’s unexpected. Did Mr. Miyat make a mistake?”
“You know very well that that can’t be true, right?”
“Hmm, I didn’t know there was someone who could see through his power.”
Miyat sighed inwardly at the words of the middle-aged man he met, and looked around.
The place she finally arrived at after moving around for several days.
The office was filled with decorative items that were not particularly flashy, but looked extraordinary at first glance, from large ink paintings to delicate sculptures and elegant porcelain.
“Okay, I understand. I’ll provide you with a comfortable place to rest for the time being.”
“···Since we’ve come this far, shouldn’t we at least say hello to the elders?”
Miyat, who was getting up from his seat, stopped and spoke carefully.
I was wondering if I could at least get a stamp of approval from the person in charge here.
“I know it’s presumptuous of me to say this, but.”
But the middle-aged man who faced her answered resolutely without even blinking an eye.
“He is very busy taking care of state affairs. If he were to worry about each and every one of these things, he would collapse from exhaustion.”
In the end, Miyat had no choice but to agree with his words and back down.
Actually, the snow stamp wasn’t that important of an issue.
‘It would be more helpful to gain karma by directly interacting with those in power, but… Well, for now, this much will do.’
There was still plenty of time anyway.
Whether it’s proving your abilities in the coming age of chaos or finally breaking through the walls and reaching the depths.
I will definitely go up.
At that moment, after finishing all her business and greeting the older man, she was about to leave the office.
[Hmm, so does that mean this is the end for now?]
As if the entire space was vibrating.
An unidentified voice rang out.
“Huh?!”
“who···!”
Those who were there had no time to react.
Before they could do anything, their bodies suddenly stopped as they were crushed by a strange pressure.
The only thing that can move even a little is the eyeballs.
Two pairs of eyes, which had been moving busily to grasp the situation, were fixed on one point.
Crackle— Crackle—
The space began to tear vertically with a creepy sound.
Soon, a figure came over from the other side of the gaping crack, stepped onto the floor of the office, and stretched vigorously.
“Thank you—I was able to get here comfortably thanks to you.”
Then, the being took a deep breath and turned its gaze to look at the frozen Miyat.
A pair of tall black horns sprouting from either side of the head.
Black and red eyes and neatly folded black wings on the back.
“Since you’ve already helped me, why don’t you help me a little more?”
The other world’s demon lord Hela, who descended upon Saba Heaven, had a refreshing smile on her face.
