Episode 176 Heart Blood -1-
It’s kind of weird.
Why Seong Hee-young?
Aren’t you the president of Shinwha Group?
Although Sung Hee-young’s influence has grown recently, she is not as influential as the chairman of Shinwha Group.
Because the president of Shinwha Group is level 8.
‘Think later.’
For now, we have to keep it alive and see.
I picked up my golf bag that had been left on one side of the training room.
“let’s go.”
Go straight.
Director Choi and I took the Red Cougar, and Seo Woo-jin took his flying car and went to Geumoh Hospital in Songpa-gu.
On the rooftop, Secretary Kim and Director Kim, who had become the new Chief Secretary, were waiting.
A serious face.
“Are you here?”
“What about the chairman?”
“You are not feeling very well.”
It seems like it’s not a secret.
I glanced down and saw a bunch of broadcasting station cars gathered there.
Even individual broadcasters are visible.
A scene is shown of a drone flying over a liver vessel and being shot down by an air defense drone.
“What happened?”
I followed Director Kim and asked.
“You have been poisoned.”
“What is that? Isn’t there anyone who is curious?”
“Yes. There is a separate secretary named Kimi. Secretary Kimi was fine, but as soon as the chairman took the elixir, he had a seizure. The executive secretary dealt with it right away, but after taking the elixir, things got worse… … .”
That’s right.
I’ll have to check it out myself to know for sure, but it’s as expected.
Arrived at the VVIP room located deepest in the main hospital building.
The superhuman doctors came out in a panic to greet Director Kim.
“What about the chairman?”
“He is in cardiac arrest and we are performing CPR.”
“what?”
Director Kim immediately opens the door and jumps in.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
A muscular superhuman doctor was performing CPR, sweating profusely.
Because he uses not only his body weight but also his horsepower to strike, every time he exerts force, his slender body bounces back as if it were bouncing.
There’s nothing I can do.
A level 7 superhuman has incredible durability, so he can disperse and absorb most types of impact.
It would take a heavy hit from a piece of machinery to even reach the heart.
“D-dang it! What are you doing! You were fine just a moment ago!”
“I am ashamed. I will do my best.”
“Choi Seon? Choi Seo-eon? If the chairman dies, you all will die too! Have you forgotten who gave you scholarships, paid your salaries, and made you superhumans? If you don’t want to be killed, you must save me!”
“I will keep that in mind.”
A balding doctor walks in from outside.
He holds a precious golden crystal bottle in his arms.
Elixir.
He’s already failed once, but since nothing else seems to work, he’s going to try again.
“Stop it.”
Reach out and stop.
Director Kim also shouted.
“Are you in your right mind or not? You took the elixir and now you’re in this state, and you’re using another elixir?”
“We have our own vision for our hospital. If we make that leap with an elixir… … .”
“The elixir of immortality? If you use that, the chairman will die instantly. Take it back.”
“These humans… … .”
The veins on Director Kim’s neck are rising.
Before I could say anything, I looked at Director Kim and said.
“Secretary. Please arrest the shamans. Right now.”
“A necromancer?”
“There is no way to cure the Chairman right now. But if we have a shaman, we can prevent it from getting any worse.”
I checked the time.
“Five minutes, five minutes.”
Pointing to the clock for emphasis.
“At least one shaman must arrive and inject magic power within five minutes. If he does, the Chairman will live. If not, he will die.”
5 minutes!
Too short, too little time to do anything.
Director Kim’s Adam’s apple moved.
He puts his finger right up to his ear, on his body, and starts giving commands.

“Notify the security office. Send all four teams to the VVIP room immediately.”
“Inform Geumoh Security. This is an emergency. Summon Geumoh Security Team 2, Team 4, Team 4, and Team 8 and send them to Geumoh Hospital.”
“All directors of Geumoh Mutual Aid Association are requested to gather together.”
Lightning-quick action.
Judging from what Team 4 is doing, there must be a superhuman there who has mastered the art of command.
The number 4 is a superstition, but in this world, even superstitions have power, so it can’t be completely ignored.
Soon, four security teams rushed in.
As the superhumans saluted the unconscious Seong Hee-young, Director Kim looked at me.
“Lord Mukho? What should I do?”
“Stop CPR and pump magic power into the brain.”
“Brain? Then… … .”
“It’s okay. Don’t be a vegetative person. I’ll take responsibility.”
“after…….”
Director Kim let out a long sigh.
Then he looked at me and Seong Hee-young alternately and clenched his teeth.
“I will only believe in the Mukho Sword Master. I hope there will be a miracle this time too. Unit Kim Seon-yeong, Unit Park Ji-hu. Please inject the magic power of the two of you into the Chairman’s brain.”
“yes?”
“Did I mishear you?”
“It’s urgent. I’ll take responsibility. Even if I fail, I won’t let either of you suffer any harm, so hurry up and do it.”
The two agents stepped forward hesitantly.
One is a commander, one is a shaman.
Standing on either side, they placed their hands on Seong Hee-young’s head.
beep-
As soon as CPR is stopped, a sharp mechanical sound is heard.
Director Kim closes his eyes.
“Let’s get started.”
Magic power is injected.
The cold, dark magic of death is projected into the brain.
A moment of silence.
A deathly silence passed.
Beep beep beep beep.
My heart started pounding.
“uh?”
“phew!”
“Mr. Chairman!”
But only the heart beats.
Oxygen saturation went up and breathing came back, but that was it.
There is no sign of him coming to his senses.
I approached Director Kim and asked him a favor.
“Inject as much magical power as possible. Just enough so that it doesn’t come out of your brain.”
“Okay. Then will you recover?”
“No. It’s not a cure. It’s temporary, temporary. After a few days, it will start to get worse again. After a month, it won’t be any better.”
“Then what should I do?”
“We need to find the source.”
I told you.
It’s both poison and a curse.
Therefore, you must find the source of the curse and remove it, and make sure to bring the antidote you have with you and take it.
If you don’t, you die.
The problem is, where are we going to catch the guy who put the curse on us? … .
‘It must be around.’
If you want to poison someone, you have to be someone around them.
Also, the curse only works within a certain distance.
‘but.’
There’s something to take care of before that.
Consider a situation in a game.
The chairman of Shinwha Group also drank the elixir, but did not die immediately.
He somehow managed to survive, and only after several more ambush, raid, and sniping attacks did he die.
The first ambush occurred immediately after the poisoning.
At the hospital, too.
To the doctors and nurses.
Rattle rattle.
“Excuse me. I’ll have to pass. Yes, just a moment.”
Two nurses pulling a medical cart from the end of the hallway.
A doctor follows behind him.
My eyes naturally fell on the three of them.
It’s the same composition.
With the enemies that made the first raid in the game.
[Ear][Sixth sense]
Of course, there is nothing wrong with the appearance.
It’s the same even if you change the characteristics.
The cart only contained medical equipment, and all three were priest-type superhumans with only the abilities of recovery and healing.
If there is one, just one.
[Divine Explosion]
Priest class trait that counters my magic explosion.
There is nothing strange in normal times.
Because Divine Blast only reacts fatally to evil beings such as demons, ghosts, and undead.
If you use it on a patient, it will dramatically improve their condition.
But what about Seong Hee-young?
What if the patient is cursed and has the poison of an evil spirit?
“Just a moment.”
So I blocked the way.
“yes?”
The nurses look up at me.
“Hmm, hmm.”
The doctor coughed a few times.
“I need to draw arterial blood… … .”
What was on the cart were seemingly medical devices.
The thing worn around the neck is the Geumoh Hospital staff ID.
Actually, he must be an employee.
The old father’s sect’s tricks have been going on for hundreds of years since they came to this land.
But you can’t fool me.
“Did the dark jaguar send you?”
A nickname for the god they believe in.
The eyes of the doctor and nurse are twitching.
But somehow I endure it.
It seems like he doesn’t want to believe he’s been caught yet.
“What are you talking about?”
Kwaang!
He threw down the medical cart.
Latex gloves, syringes and alcohol swabs were scattered as the stainless steel cart split apart.
The security team is already looking this way meaningfully.
Several people disappear into the shadows and block the other side of the hallway.
He looked at the three and spoke forcefully.
“Follow me. The dark jaguar is a lowly seed eaten by the winged snake.”
Both are famous Aztec gods.
He was murdered by the old father’s sect that was pioneering the New World, and after that he went into hiding in a remote area of South America.
It was like that in theory, but the truth was different.
The old father’s sect inserted a straw inside, hoping for the future.
The three eyes shook.
I can’t do it, no.
Although they disguise themselves as members of other small religious groups, their true faith is directed towards the Dark Jaguar.
If you blaspheme, you will immediately be stripped of your divine power.
“Rain, damn it! Kill me!”
“Eeeeek!”
The nurse rushes in.
He inserts a syringe and bravely tries to stick it into my neck.
Will it work?
I lifted my foot and kicked.
The nurse falls out, vomiting blood.
The next nurse is the same.
I tried to hit it with the cart, but it bounced off the magical blast I had detonated.
“Bitch… … Keuk!”
It was no different from being a doctor.
It has a weak body, no attack characteristics, and no artifacts.
Why do you rebel when you can just surrender quietly?
He got hit once by me and was caught by the security team.
He was gagged, handcuffed and shackled to prevent him from committing suicide.
“Ugh! Ugh!”
Struggling is pointless.
All three were dragged away by the security team.
When I returned to the VVIP room, the hospital director was kneeling before Director Kim.
Director Kim was extremely agitated and the hospital director was in a state of complete contemplation.
“Sorry, I didn’t know that Kim was assassin!”
“Director! Is this something that can be resolved by saying sorry? If the chairman is even slightly hurt, you can’t get away with it even if you commit suicide!”
“Just close it.”
I calmed Director Kim down a bit.
If you keep doing this, you won’t be able to eat or sleep.
Because the divine explosion using medical personnel is just the beginning.
From now on, the raids and ambush will continue until Seonghee Young dies.
“It must have been difficult for the hospital director. Those guys are dark jaguar fanatics.”
“Dark Jaguar? Didn’t it disappear?”
“Even though it has disappeared, remnants remain.”
“What about those fanatics? What kind of grudge do they have against our chairman?”
“I don’t know about that.”
Actually, I know.
The saintess guided him cleverly.
If the Seoul terror attack was caused by the Rights League, then the zombie outbreak was caused by the Dark Jaguar Cult.
The plan is to assassinate the head of a conglomerate as a preemptive strike against a zombie outbreak.
‘The Geumoh Group has been quite active recently.’
The forces of Arcane Seoul do not move easily.
Because they have a lot and are big.
What about Seong Hee-young?
As I had trampled my brothers to rise to power and won the war with my own strength, I needed to make some achievements.
So, I mobilized all my group’s power to catch the rights association and donated 400 billion won to my redevelopment project.
For a brief moment, its influence surpassed that of the Shinwha Group.
I thought I couldn’t leave it alone.
To the point of stabbing Sung Hee-young while leaving the Shinwha Group Chairman at level 8 alone.
“under…….”
Director Kim messed up his hair.
“I guess you wrote a blood shadow.”
The correct name is Dark Jaguar’s Heart Blood.
During the Aztec wars, Longinus, an old disciple of his father, stabbed the Dark Jaguar in the heart with a spear.
At that moment, the heart’s blood flowed and the spear of Longinus became a divine weapon.
The heart’s blood on Longinus’ spear became poison and a curse.
The dark jaguar somehow escaped, but eventually met its death.
At least the Dark Jaguar Order took the Spear of Longinus.
Because the heart blood buried there was hope.
Later, he will give the Dark Jaguar back its name and revive it.
“Right. Now you know what to do, right?”
“yes.”
Director Kim gave instructions like a storm.
First of all, all the medical staff, including the hospital director, were kicked out.
And they built a defensive line.
Only trustworthy people.
In addition to the defensive magic circle, defensive drones, and guardian golems, a human curtain was constructed.
They just kicked out every single person from the main building.
With the promise of huge rewards.
“Except for the priest lineage. You know? The Dark Jaguar Cultists’ abilities.”
“I know.”
Another name for it is the smoke-spitting mirror.
Accordingly, he is a god who also rules over the realms of prophecy and omniscience, illusion and transformation, fraud and theft.
It’s easy to pretend to belong to a different denomination or believe in a different god.
Just like the three who tried to come in a little while ago.
Even though I have been working at the Kumoh Group for a long time, I still can’t believe it.
“Hoooo.”
Director Kim nervously wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Boom!
Just then, a loud explosion erupted outside.
An explosion visible from a distance.
The magical waves were spreading far and wide.
Director Kim instinctively tried to look there, but I waved my hand away.
“It’s Seongdong-gyeokseop. Be careful in the basement.”
“Underground? Team Leader 2. Check it out.”
“yes.”
Some of the security team left their posts.
He came back a while later, carrying a rat corpse as large as a calf.
“Found it in the underground parking lot. We’re blocking it from trying to get in through the ventilation shaft.”
You can tell it’s a mutant at first glance.
It’s clear that it was mutated using genetic engineering.
“under…….”
Director Kim looks at me with a dazed expression.
“Your Majesty, Mukho Sword Master. Would you please help us? It seems that we cannot protect the Chairman with our own abilities. Let us make this request formally.”
He grits his teeth a few times and then continues speaking.
“Please catch the guy who gave you the Chairman’s heart blood, the guy who cursed you. Catch him and tear him to pieces. In the meantime, we will do whatever it takes to protect you, Chairman.”
“That’s why I came.”
I looked down at Seong Hee-young lying in the hospital bed.
A face that was always full of leisure.
Lips that smiled confidently.
He’s extremely pale now.
Lying like a corpse with blue lips.
There are no feelings.
Even if Seong Hee-young were to die right now, I wouldn’t feel anything special.
But, but.
The saint behind her.
The old father’s sect that instigated the poisoning.
Just thinking about them makes my blood boil.
I can never let it go.
Never.
I can do anything as long as I can sprinkle pepper powder on the saint.
“Just leave it to me.”
So he said this.
“I will definitely do it.”
Do you think I’ll just do it?
I’ll chew you to the bone.
A superhuman who has placed a curse.
There is also a dark Jaguar sect hiding under the Han River.
All of them.
