Episode 484: Trouble (1)
Taejun Moon, a central government investigator.
He was having a crazy day.
While finishing work in Incheon and taking care of business in Daejeon, I suddenly heard a strange noise from a colleague.
“Taejun. “Did you hear the news?”
“What news?”
“I heard that an omen phenomenon was discovered in Incheon this time. Since this was already the second omen phenomenon this year, I thought the casualties would be significant, but the Incheon government responded quickly and suppressed it in the early stages. “The Incheon government’s contribution up to that point should be praised, but according to rumors, it was not the Incheon government that actually subdued the anthill.”
“… … “Then who subjugated him?”
Taejun Moon looked up from the documents.
Omen phenomenon.
It is not a problem that an individual can handle.
If the apocalypse phenomenon had been resolved without the central government taking action, there was a high probability that Gosu would have been involved in the series of circumstances.
And it is the investigators’ job to recruit local experts.
Thinking that it might be something that would yield results, Taejun Moon showed interest even though he could not hide his fatigue.
said a colleague.
“Don’t be surprised. This was an incident where as many as dozens of queen ants appeared in an ant cave, but only two people entered the ant cave and slaughtered them all. So there is no fuss now. Famous guilds in Seoul are contacting Incheon to recruit an unknown person, and the higher-ups are also in the position of needing to confirm the facts regarding this. You know that. At that scale, at least an A grade, and possibly a new S grade, might be born. “Considering the reality of Korea, where people only rely on the white-robed wizard, there will be quite an uproar the moment it is revealed that the unknown person is S-rank.”
surprised.
Possibility of S rank.
It was an incident that shocked the Republic of Korea.
When I thought about it, I thought it was strange that people were so busy moving around a while ago.
“And the even more shocking problem is that one of these unknown people is the culprit who destroyed Red Moon. This is the case you were in charge of. It clearly ended up being the work of the Incheon government, and there was an eyewitness account that a person with the same impression as the ‘unknown person’ visited Red Moon just before its destruction. If it turns out to be true, there is a possibility that you will be reprimanded for failing to reveal the new character in advance. “Anyway, you were the one in charge of the Red Moon incident.”
Moment.
Taejun Moon’s expression became cold.
From then on, I couldn’t hear anything my colleagues were talking about.
“I heard that the unknown person’s name is a foreigner with the last name Dmitry. Isn’t it funny? In this day and age, there is someone who uses Dmitry as their name. Well, with that skill, you’re qualified for it.”
My stomach was boiling.
Incheon Mayor Kim Jun-hyuk.
He clearly said that Incheon was responsible for the fall of Red Moon.
However, the real culprit was different, and if the real culprit had solved the omen phenomenon in Incheon, there was only one conclusion.
“김준혁, 이 개새끼가.”
That he intentionally deceived himself.
Jump up.
I got up from my seat.
Apparently, now was not the time to sit like this.
* * *
The world changed overnight.
Although it may not be something ordinary people would feel, Kang Min-ho felt that the world had changed due to what had happened in the morning.
Wooooow.
[This is the Heavenly Sword Guild in Seoul. I heard that Roman Dmitry and Kang Min-ho led the extermination of the ant cave. The Heavenly Sword Guild always hopes to recruit talented people, and we would like to invite the two people who have proven their skills through this incident to the Heavenly Sword. I think Kang Min-ho knows very well what a great guild Heavenly Sword is. It is one of the top three guilds in Korea, and we are willing to meet any conditions for you two. So, please reply.]
[This is S Broadcasting Company. Are you Minho Kang? I am contacting you to cover this ant tunnel extermination incident.]
[…] … It’s a guild. Please contact us.]
[If the extermination of the ant tunnels is true, I promise you two billions in annual salary. This is only the minimum condition, and more is possible if you prove your skills through a grade review.]
A rain of communication.
My phone was about to explode.
The starting point of the problem was the hunter database.
Hunters who receive requests from the government register their personal contact information in this hunter database, and as the ant cave incident became an issue, the identities of Roman Dmitry and Kang Min-ho spread.
The problem was that Roman Dmitry did not have any contact information yet.
Naturally, attention was focused on Kang Min-ho, and even though they knew that he was an E-level hunter according to computer systems, people offered a large amount of compensation.
We had to meet first.
Everyone knew that independent talent could be secured only by meeting them before they were taken away by others.
It was chaos.
In fact, because of that, he couldn’t even stay in his villa right now.
He and Roman Dmitry hurriedly ran away when they saw people flocking to the villa, and he and Roman Dmitry were in an officetel provided by the Incheon government.
Unlike himself, Roman Dmitry was calm.
Although he felt like he was going crazy from this unfamiliar experience, Roman Dmitry had not even heard of the names he wanted to recruit.
“It’s not worth checking.”
Concise answer.
I wasn’t even interested at all.
Because of the situation, Kang Min-ho could only feel sad.
‘I understand why people make such a fuss. A master who destroyed Red Moon overnight and solved the anthill phenomenon. If he were an individual who did not belong anywhere, people would naturally turn their eyes away. No, even if he belonged he would try to take it away somehow.’
It was then.
[Junhyuk Kim: Please contact me.]
One text.
It’s something I’ve been waiting for.
Minho Kang visited Roman Dmitry and spoke.
“I think we should go to the Incheon government. “A central government investigator visited the Incheon government regarding this matter.”

Five people were present.
Roman Dmitry, Kim Jun-hyuk, and Moon Tae-jun were sitting, while Lee Tae-seong and Kang Min-ho stood behind them and watched the situation.
Taejun Moon showed his discomfort from the beginning.
“Mayor Kim Jun-hyuk. To be honest, I was really angry when I heard rumors about this incident. I believed Mayor Kim Jun-hyuk’s statement in the Red Moon incident. He said that someone like the mayor destroyed Red Moon himself, so he reported it to his superiors without conducting any special investigation.”
Before leaving Seoul.
I contacted superiors.
The higher-ups made it a point to recruit Roman Dmitri in order to stop the Red Moon Incident.
So I deliberately brought up the past.
Kim Jun-hyuk’s lie was a good topic to talk about.
“But what on earth is going on? “The real culprit is not the Incheon government, but Roman Dmitry, who is here right now.”
“As we sent you separately, the incident was self-defense.”
“Yes, I know. The problem is that the order is wrong. If you had been honest about this incident from the beginning, there is a high probability that Roman Dmitry’s self-defense would have been acknowledged. But not now. The Incheon government moved to cover up the Red Moon incident, and with the new real culprit revealed, any evidence presented by the Incheon government became unreliable. Who knows, maybe the perpetrator and victim have been reversed? If so, this is a pretty serious problem. “No matter how much killing in self-defense is recognized in a world like this, at least in this Republic of Korea, one-sided murder comes with a price.”
led the mood.
They pushed hard and put pressure on Kim Jun-hyuk.
“Red Moon is a valuable talent needed for the coming catastrophe. They died overnight. They say it was self-defense, but we can’t be sure. Roman Dmitry, even if you are a foreigner, there is a saying that in Rome you must follow Roman law. Punishment is inevitable. “The government of the Republic of Korea will not ignore this incident.”
“So what do you want to say?”
“It’s simple. “You can either be punished or pay the full price.”
A worthy price.
That was the real intention.
Kim Jun-hyuk followed the conversation even though he knew Moon Tae-jun’s intentions, and Moon Tae-jun quietly revealed his intentions.
“In Korea, there is a way for people who have committed crimes to be exonerated. Work for the government of South Korea. “If we do something for the world on behalf of those who died senselessly, the government of the Republic of Korea will no longer inquire about this issue.”
* * *
It was an obvious scenario.
raise an issue
How to offer indulgence.
It was a way for the government of the Republic of Korea to tie up those who did not listen.
Kim Jun-hyuk calmly refuted the fully anticipated scenario.
“That is unfair treatment. The data we presented also included CCTV footage. “If this case is brought to trial, it will be recognized that Roman Dmitry’s actions were clearly self-defense.”
“… … Mayor Kim Jun-hyuk. “I’m asking just in case, have you already established some kind of relationship with Roman Dmitry?”
Taejun Moon’s expression turned cold.
I didn’t like the sight of Kim Jun-hyuk constantly refuting things.
Junhyuk Kim said.
“yes. Incheon has decided to follow Roman Dmitry.”
“That’s an interesting thing to say. Although it is said to have its own command system, the Incheon government, which exists under the central government, will follow a single individual. “You wouldn’t know that that could clearly be considered an act of rebellion.”
Taejun Moon chuckled.
If words don’t make sense.
From now on, whipping was necessary.
Although I did not understand the relationship between Kim Jun-hyuk and Roman Dmitry, Korea wanted a talented player like Roman Dmitry.
A being that quietly watches.
He said, looking at him fiercely.
“From now on, I will tell you about the reality of Incheon. If this is uncooperative, the central government will have no choice but to look back on its relationship with Incheon in the future. I’m sure you know what that means. This is already the second apoplexy phenomenon in Korea this year, and apocalypse phenomena are occurring repeatedly around the world. It has been 6 years since the fifth catastrophe broke out. The cycle for the sixth apocalypse to occur has been sufficiently fulfilled. A catastrophe is just around the corner. Even if Roman Dmitry is a great expert, do you think you can prevent the apocalypse by trusting just one person?”
This incident.
He was given full authority to his superiors.
There was no hesitation in Moon Tae-jun’s remarks.
“It’s impossible. S-rank and all, it’s something that no single individual can handle, so everyone lives with ‘belonging’. Because that’s how you can survive. The government of the Republic of Korea will exclude the Incheon government from the coming catastrophe. While we have ensured the safety of Seoul and provided assistance to nearby regions one by one, from now on we will exclude Incheon and help other regions first. Of course, I won’t ignore it completely. However, when I belatedly visited Incheon after taking care of all the dangers in the peripheral areas such as Busan and Pohang, do you really think Incheon would be able to survive the threat of a catastrophe?”
It was a threat.
The reason why the Korean government can exert strong control.
The people could not disobey the words of the central government, as they could only survive by existing under their shadow.
Taejun Moon tapped his head.
“If you have a brain, do what you think. Don’t be too small and lose too much. Someone like Mayor Kim Jun-hyuk knows what a wise choice is… … .”
“Is this the end?”
Moment.
Roman Dmitry interrupted.
At the intervention of Roman Dmitri, who had only been watching until now, Taejun Moon looked at him with suspicious eyes.
Roman Dmitry laughed.
Central government response.
The sea I waited for.
Shaking up the game, Roman Dmitry hoped that something like this would be created.
“Let’s do that. From now on, we will accept that the central government and the Incheon government are separate areas. “By accepting the central government’s ridiculous proposal, Incheon will not receive help from the central government in the coming catastrophe.”
