Episode 209
“You worked hard.”
Yasha, who saw the haggard appearance of Pyo Hyeok-gyu, expressed her impressions in just four words.
If someone saw this, they might think he was heartless, but anyone who knows his personality would consider it very unusual.
“no. “I’m just sorry.”
Pyo Hyuk-gyu’s reaction was also extremely plain.
Whatever the reason, he was in a position where he had to assist Lee Sa-soon.
Although it was not voluntary, Pyo Hyeok-gyu had to keenly realize his incompetence in being played by Majin.
Cheon Hae-seon asked the yaksha if he didn’t like the heavy atmosphere.
“Have you gotten any information so far?”
“does not exist.”
Cheon Hae-seon swallowed a laugh at that simple and clear answer.
“You’re so shameless. “Someone even got hit with an ax to get the pie cider.”
“Hehe. This is a black market. It is easy if the person you are trying to obtain information from is in a dark place, but the brighter the place, the more difficult it is to dig into it. Well, if those guys do something else behind the scenes, there might be a possibility. Unfortunately, Lader was living a textbook life.”
“textbook?”
“Jogging in the morning, cooking with healthy ingredients, spending happy times with my grandchildren on the weekends, things like that.”
“If it’s true that he’s in cahoots with a demon, he’s an absolutely disgusting guy.”
“Hehe. yes.”
You stick a sword in the back of all mankind and you spend quality time with your family?
Lader was the typical human type that Cheon Hae-seon hated the most.
“however… … “Isn’t something incoherent?”
Ying Sen slightly tilted his head and asked Cheon Hae-seon.
“Rather lost his son to the Mine. If he cares so much about his family, there’s no way he would cooperate with Mine. But I spend time with my grandchildren again on the weekends… … “Isn’t it so strange?”
“That’s what I heard.”
Although there is no reason for a crazy person to go crazy, at least he was able to act consistently.
But Cheon Hae-seon did not have the heart to think deeply about that.
“It could be cosplaying to avoid suspicion. Either that or there is another reason.”
“I guess so… … .”
“One thing is certain: it is unacceptable for any reason. “That’s the most important thing.”
“… … You’re right. “Hae-seon.”
Yingsen agreed with Cheon Hae-seon’s words.
No matter what rhetoric is used, Lader’s actions cannot be forgiven.
That was the common thought of the people present.
“There hasn’t been anything suspicious from Ladder recently, right?”
“Yes.”
“Hmm… … .”
Cheon Hae-seon felt a strange sense of discomfort.
No matter how shameless and shameless he was, even taking that into account, the Yaksha’s attitude was very proud.
This is an event where we promised to meet again after gathering information for a week.
Compared to Cheon Hae-seon, who had gathered all kinds of information, including Pyo Hyeok-gyu, what Yasha had gained was practically nothing.
‘But what is that confidence?’
Cheon Hae-seon derived the following information through that sense of discomfort.
“The lack of new information itself… … “Is this special information?”
“like… … .”
The Yasha’s eyes brightened in a unique way for a moment, and Cheon Hae-seon smiled inwardly at the sight.
Yasha revealed her honest emotions with an admiring expression.
“From the first time I saw it, I thought it looked like an old wildcat… … .”
“You mean the heart is deep? thank you.”
Yasha let out a low laugh and expressed agreement with Cheon Hae-seon’s words.
“You are right. If no suspicious signs are found, one of two conclusions can be reached. “Either Ladder is innocent, or it has been a work in progress for a very long time.”
“ah… … .”
Yingsen’s eyes lit up as if he finally understood.
“So you’re saying we have to search the house?”
“that’s right. “The data given by Bu-seong is also the same, and all directions point towards President Raeder’s house.”
“Business?”
When Yasha asked, Yingsen explained what had happened.
During the ranking match, Bu Seong’s broken device measured the wavelength.
And when Septimum placed a barrier on the association building, Bujuseong extracted data.
Lastly, the wave was discovered in President Rather’s house.
“Right. There is no need to hesitate as there is physical evidence added to the sentiment. Let’s set a date and go kill the governor right away.”
Ingsen swallowed his head at Yasha’s words.
This is because the meaning of the phrase ‘let’s go kill the governor’ came to me firsthand.
If their reasoning turns out to be wrong, they may have to fight the whole world.
“if… … What if Septimum isn’t there when you break into the governor’s house? “I’m sure they will pay attention.”
In response to Yingsen’s words, Cheon Hae-seon and Yasha opened their mouths at the same time.
Surprisingly, they came to the same conclusion.
“We have to make it come out.”
“You just have to make it come out.”

Cheon Hae-seon and Yaksha exchange glances.
I don’t really like them, but they have a lot in common when it comes to thinking.
“How can I make it come out? “Septimum hiding in the dark.”
Yingsen asked, looking left and right alternately, and Yasha immediately snapped her fingers.
Just right.
“This is my answer.”
Soon, a light came on beyond the darkness.
There was a round figure standing there, and Cheon Hae-seon and Ying-sen thought that the silhouette resembled someone.
Just right.
When one more light was added, the two expressed their astonishment without any question of who went first.
“no… … !!”
“Unbelievable… … ?!”
Distinctive oversized jacket and friendly smile.
Even the eyes are full of intelligence.
The person standing in front of me was none other than Chairman Lee Sa-soon.
“how… … this… … .”
Yingsen hurriedly ran in front of Lee Sa-sun.
How did the dead Lee Sa-soon come back alive here?
Unlike Yingsen, Cheon Hae-seon stood silently and looked at Lee Sa-soon from a distance.
And then, one thought struck Cheon Hae-seon’s mind like a thunderbolt.
“you… … !!”
“hmm?”
“You, you can’t believe Chairman Lee Sa-soon…” … !!”
A necromancer who forcibly summons the dead from the four worlds.
That was the power the yaksha had.
Cheon Hae-seon glared at the yaksha as if he were going to kill him, but he only snorted.
“hey. Anyway, Lee Sa-sun is one of my few colleagues. “Do you really think that I would insult Lee Sa-sun like that?”
“… … .”
“Furthermore, the conditions for turning dead creatures into minions are very strict. At the time Lee Sa-sun died, I was in the black market. Even if that was the intention, it is physically impossible.”
“… … “Then what is that thing over there?”
“That thing is called an exemplar. “It’s part of this guy.”
Sussss… … .
A teratoma resembling a balloon appeared behind the yaksha.
It was a white monster that was difficult to tell where the eyes were, where the nose was, or even where the head was.
“Exemplar has the ability to imitate an object once it recognizes it. “His fighting skills are poor, but his talent is outstanding, so I took him as my subordinate.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Exemplar cut off one of the chunks on the left and right that looked like hands.
The white lump that fell off looked like dough.
And soon, the mass took shape into a specific shape.
The colors began to take on a variety of colors, and the lumpy outer shell created a distinct silhouette.
“Unbelievable… … .”
A young man who had not yet shed his boyish appearance was standing in front of me.
A handsome man with a slim physique who looks a little rough, but whose smooth and handsome features catch the eye.
That was Cheon Hae-seon.
“It’s me, right?”
“ha ha ha.”
Yingsen, who was watching this, quickly turned his head.
He was certain that the woman in front of him was Lee Sa-sun.
However, like a copy(?) of Cheon Hae-seon far away, she was unable to say or do anything.
“I see… … .”
Yingsen let out a small sigh.
Even though I knew it wouldn’t happen, part of me had hope for a moment.
Hope that Lee Sa-sun might still be alive.
However, the Lee Sa-sun in front of me was nothing more than an imitation created by Exemplar.
“The performance is amazing.”
Another self standing in front of oneself.
Cheon Hae-seon was unable to stop herself from laughing as she looked at the counterfeit product.
Just by not taking action, there was no doubt that this was Cheon Hae-seon.
When Cheon Hae-seon touched the cheek of his replica with his finger,
pop.
The replica disappeared with the sound of a balloon popping.
Cheon Hae-seon asked, looking at the handfuls of white powder left on the floor.
“It seems like this happens with just a little stimulation.”
“right. You can’t act, and if you touch it even slightly, it explodes. However, he is enough to shake people’s hearts. Just like you two did a little while ago.”
As Yasha said, Cheon Hae-seon and Ying-sen completely lost their composure while watching Exemplar.
“Right. “If President Lader and Septimum see that counterfeit, they will have no choice but to take the bait.”
“If you are a demon, you would at least know that monsters like this exist. However, efforts will be made to find out the truth.”
“That’s why you said there was no need for us to go over to the Demon World. “They will try to check if the counterfeit product is real.”
“Yes. “If this is enough, it will be good as an inducement.”
Yasha was confident, but Cheon Hae-seon shook his head.
“But this alone is not enough.”
“hmm?”
“You can get their attention, but what if the president comes to Korea just to check? Our target is not Governor Rather, but his house. “We need a device to keep him in the house.”
“That makes sense. “Then is there another way?”
“I’m glad it doesn’t overlap with the strategy you prepared.”
Cheon Hae-seon slowly began to talk about his plan.
* * *
Late night.
Ringing.
An old telephone that is so old that it looks like an antique announces its presence with a loud noise.
The old hand under the blanket slowly grabbed the phone.
“Who… … .”
My voice is blurry due to lack of sleep.
However, after checking the person on the other end of the phone, the old man raised his upper body like a spring.
“Cheon, Cheon Hae-seon?”
-yes. Mr. Governor.
It was clearly Cheon Hae-seon’s voice.
How does Cheon Hae-seon know his hotline number?
But before the president had time to organize his thoughts, Cheon Hae-seon shook his heart.
-The matter is urgent, so I will just tell you the business. We found a clue regarding the death of Chairman Lee Sa-soon.
“proviso? “What kind of clue are you talking about?”
-We were able to restore some of the damaged CCTV footage when Chairman Lee Sa-soon was murdered.
“!”
President Rather almost shouted that it was a lie.
Septimum was a man who was as sure as he was cunning.
There’s no way he could have been negligent in damaging the surrounding radio equipment… … !
But President Rather was not stupid enough to say such a thing.
“… … “Please be more specific.”
-As you know, the death of Chairman Lee Sa-soon is becoming the biggest issue in Korea. Currently, government officials and the judiciary are all mobilized to conduct an investigation. In the process, the video was somehow stolen, but it is difficult to publicize the hacked data to the outside world.
“I guess so. So what do you plan to do next?”
-Although Ingsen is in Korea, I don’t think we intend to judge it arbitrarily. So, if possible, I would like to report directly to the president.
“to me… … Reporting directly? “Are you saying you want to come to America?”
-That’s right.
Ladder instinctively looked for Septimum with a puzzled face.
Septimum, who took the form of a cat, was already listening to their conversation on the nightstand.
When Septimum nodded, the governor answered with a stern expression.
“great. As Hunter Cheon Hae-seon said, it would be best to proceed with this matter in top secrecy. When do you plan on coming?”
Jiing.
The governor tilted his head to one side.
This was because the ringtone was too clear to be considered a sound coming from beyond the receiver.
Jiing.
“!”
Late morning.
What are the chances that the phone and the doorbell ring at the same time?
As if answering that probability, Cheon Hae-seon’s voice was heard over the receiver.
-Now.
