“Whichever the truth is, we can just open some popcorn. There’s no popcorn, though. Do you have any popcorn?”

The authenticity of the satellite photos of the Jeju Island evacuation fleet has now become a huge scandal that is shaking up not only the Internet but the entire Incheon area.

Actually, the real danger I see is the southern crack.

We can see this just by looking at the case of China.

The Beijing Military Region was the site of fiercest fighting since World War II, but the annexation did not reach the Beijing area.

What struck Beijing was the erosion that spread from its vulnerable rear areas.

While the front was ringing with victories, the rear was devastated, and Beijing fell along with it. China was literally annihilated, leaving only the coastal areas behind, and was forced to choose the worst option: the invasion of Taiwan.

The same goes for Korea.

The vulnerable rear has collapsed.

What this means is that the southern region will soon be covered by erosion.

If Gyeongnam collapses, Honam will collapse as well, and the aftereffects will flow back into the metropolitan area.

Despite the dire situation, the world’s attention is focused on the evacuation fleet.

“·······.”

Ding-

The popcorn popped in the microwave is done.

Wagjak-

Well, in some ways, it might be wiser to focus on the evacuation fleet.

Even if the South collapses, what can we do?

The monsters won’t go away if I go alone and pick up an axe and attack them.

Wagjak-

I turned my gaze to our bulletin board while eating popcorn.

It’s no wonder that chaos ensued.

Actually, I logged on to see that.

I was especially looking forward to the most exciting reaction, and sure enough, our m9 did not disappoint my expectations one bit.

mmmmmmmmm : Hahahahahahahahahahaha

If I were m9, I would have seen that picture and been so shocked that I would have been shaking all day and not been able to do anything.

If only I hadn’t had an accident where my boarding pass was completely stolen, I would have been on that ship.

But our m9 doesn’t have that.

If it is advantageous to you, you are on your side, and if it is disadvantageous to you, you are a traitor to the world.

The incarnation of Gam-Gok-To, m9, was active on both Palenet and our bulletin boards at the same time, acting like a triumphant general.

mmmmmmmmm: I heard it’s intensity? Magnitude? The intensity increases when there are a lot of people? Jeju Island’s merits are less fine dust and fewer people, so what’s the use if there are more people? I wouldn’t accept it even if I were the president~

Well, that’s an expected result.

Our M9 teacher has been active as a leader in the Jeju Island refugee fleet denial movement for a long time.

But this m9 guy targeted a tough guy.

mmmmmmmmm: A yummy little kid. Try yummy.

M9 is picking a fight with Dongtan Mom – Baek Seung-hyun.

This Baek Seung-hyun is a really bad guy in a different sense than what I see on the internet.

If Park Gyu-i is in a position where he only gets cursed at, then Baek Seung-hyun is in a position where he invites hatred.

At least he has no right to tell them to stop hating.

Wouldn’t it be okay if I just didn’t say yum yum?

But where did this kid learn such strange things that he’s doing things he didn’t do even 10 years ago?

Anyway, even if I put aside my ill feelings toward Baek Seung-hyun, Baek Seung-hyun himself is a human weapon.

Killing a person is not a big deal for him.

Actually, they even tried to kill me.

Well, I guess you came looking for me because you had a quote.

In fact, if he had teamed up with experienced raiders to attack me, he could have been in serious trouble.

It is quite dangerous for M9 to pick a fight with Baek Seung-hyun.

The only resident of The Hope, M9, is someone whose address was hacked by a swear word, and Baek Seung-hyun is holding a grudge and going to M9’s house with an anti-tank rocket like an RPG or a simple gun and hanging a rope inside the house, shooting at his house where he lives his daily life or creating a sea of ​​fire with the rocket, and that’s the end of it.

As expected, Baek Seung-hyun began to openly express his discomfort.

dongtanmom: Yum yum… m9 I want to die…?

Wagjak-

This is really dangerous.

Baek Seung-hyun is a man who kills if he has to, and he has many bad friends.

By the way, it is also widely known that M9’s liver is swollen.

mmmmmmmmm : Drew and kid. You’re an idiot, the entrance cut is out. Haha. There’s rock climbing from the entrance of our apartment. Haha.

Even Baek Seung-hyun’s threats don’t make him blink an eye.

I would like to give some advice to this m9.

But it’s obvious that m9 won’t listen to me.

From the beginning, that m9 guy was looking at me like I was a really weird guy······.

Fortunately, Baek Seung-hyun doesn’t seem to have any intention of killing m9.

dongtanmom: Yum yum… really… Shinpo-do… Since he can’t go, he’s risking his life for a composite photo with no source… Yum yum…

dongtanmom: Yum yum… Before believing that picture, shouldn’t you first refute the video released by the government? Yum yum… Refuting one claim with another claim… How ignorant and shallow do you have to be to do that? Yum…

As Dongtan Mom said, there is no guarantee that satellite photos are 100% true.

The high resolution and detail make it look real, but in the era of deepfakes, manipulating a single photo like that is actually something that anyone can do with just the equipment, program, and technology.

I don’t take that picture at face value either.

There is a possibility that someone who was unable to go to Jeju Island may have photoshopped the photo out of resentment, or it may have been distributed by the military faction for internal purposes.

And why China?

Why did they send the fleet to China?

What about the sailors inside? Are they going to be thrown out together?

Are they the kind of people who would obediently listen to such orders?

How many people would obey the order to go and die?

If the people on the refugee fleet are going to be used as luggage, wouldn’t it be better to just sink them in the sea and blame it on the Chinese submarines that are like goblin bats?

Well, the truth is out there.

Woo Min-hee might know.

But will that sinister woman tell me the truth straight?

“What do you think about Skeleton?”

Dajeong asked me via text message about my position on this situation.

Wagjak-

“What are you eating, Skeleton? Are you talking about popcorn?!”

“Corn.”

“Radish······? I want to eat radish too.”

“What I just ate was the last.”

“I see. Anyway, what do you think about Skeleton?”

“Hmm. Well, that’s what I mean.”

My guess is that the photo is a composite.

“There is a high possibility that the photo is a composite. However, I don’t think there is any guarantee that the Jeju fleet went to Jeju Island.”

“What, why are you thinking so strangely?”

“No, I mean. There’s absolutely no reason to send it to China, right?”

Defender has been communicating a lot lately.

After being kicked out of the bulletin board and relegated to being a lurker, he is unable to leave his usual cynical comments, so he takes all his frustration out on this skeleton.

“That’s what I think.”

Well, that doesn’t seem like a bad thing.

The Internet is good, but talking to people also has its own charm and interest.

“I see. Skeleton’s position is that the government will not accept refugees to Jeju Island. So the same goes for this second fleet?”

“Yeah. Same thing.”

This second fleet is said to be carrying 300,000 refugees at once, more than the first fleet.

If you combine it with the first period, 500,000 people will move to Jeju Island.

“I don’t think Jeju Island will accept it.”

“I heard Dongtan Mom said she would accept it unconditionally?”

“That kid is just a weirdo.”

“A hunter? That guy too?”

“There are many psychopaths among hunters.”

“aha.”

Up until this point, I had been confident that the Jeju evacuation fleet would not go to Jeju Island.

My confidence was shaken severely by one message that afternoon.

A message from DragonC: I have something to tell you.

*

The second dragon has been doing well so far.

He has consistently uploaded his own interpretations of Dragon C’s works in his own style, giving deep impressions to Palenet, our bulletin board, and even foreign users.

It was an excellent choice to make him the second Dragon.

But time passed.

It is a time when guilt and hatred are diluted by the waves of time.

Especially in these times of destruction, when each day seems to be leading us towards our end.

The message he sent me contained a breakup that I had briefly forgotten about, but had vaguely anticipated.

A message from DragonC: A government official said he would send my family to Jeju Island as a professional entertainer.

Dragon C’s contents, Pilcrum88, is a popular author whose name everyone had heard at least once before the war.

To be honest, he is a completely different level of person from Dragon, the popular writer on our bulletin board.

It is quite possible that the government will take him on because they value his abilities.

SKELTON: How many episodes are left in the manuscript?

A message from DragonC: There are about five episodes left if you combine the storyboards, but the original idea that DragonC left behind was so good, and as I drew it, I really liked it, so I plan to go to Jeju Island and continue working on it.

“······.”

After a long time, I used the coffee machine that Dragon left behind to brew a fragrant espresso and savored it.

Would it be right to let him go?

My heart hopes that guy pays the price for killing Dragon C on that land forever.

But would Mr. Dragon want that?

When I look at that goldfish, I feel like I can hear his voice.

I think there is no need to do that.

In fact, the location of Pilcrum 88 is quite dangerous.

There are remnants of the Chinese army across the sea, and to the south is the city of IAMJESUS.

It wouldn’t be easy to raise your family in such an unstable place.

Rather, it may be gripped by greater anxiety than the city.

In the city, there were people to protect him, but out there, he had to bear the burden of not only himself but also his family.

SKELTON: Are you sure you’re going to Jeju Island?

I also felt curious.

In these times when there is a fierce debate over whether or not the Jeju Island fleet is going to Jeju Island, if Dragon-ssi really goes to Jeju Island, wouldn’t that age-old debate come to an end?

Message from DragonC: Yes, absolutely. I got a message.

SKELTON: Who is this from?

Message from DragonC: Oh, this is a secret.

SKELTON: ?ㅅ?

Message from DragonC: ?

SKELTON: Who is this from?

Message from DragonC: You really shouldn’t tell anyone.

SKELTON: (Skeleton sings loudly) I swear it all.

A message from DragonC: This is a reporter······. It might be hard to believe, but he said he was from the government.

“ah.”

It seems real.

My feelings when I heard those words could not be described in a word.

It’s refreshing and disappointing at the same time.

I’d be lying if I said I didn’t hold a grudge against Dragon.

But one person cannot hold onto another person forever.

Although it is not enough, he is 80% finished with Dragon C’s manuscript.

Whether or not he completes the remaining 20% ​​is up to Pilcrum88 himself, but since the government has offered to take him, it is not something I can stop.

All I can do here is kill him before the government agents arrive, but what good will that do?

Wouldn’t it be a more rational choice in this world filled with death to stake even a small chance on completing the remaining manuscripts?

SKELTON: I’ll escort you when you go to Incheon.

The start wasn’t good, but at least I want to leave a decent ending.

*

There is a saying that if I know a secret, others know it too.

I thought this didn’t apply to Park Gyu, who was once called a professor, but now that he’s become a skeleton user on an equal bulletin board, it does apply to him.

ㅇㅇ : (National Net Pump) Human Cultural Asset Special Selection.txt

The issue of the entertainment reporter priority selection system that I heard from Dragon C was first posted on a government-sponsored internet site called Guknae.net, and then an article with the same content was posted on Pale.net.

This special selection for human cultural assets is literally a plan to organize artistically talented people into a special evacuation fleet, have them safely engage in artistic activities on Jeju Island, and spread their positive influence to the people left behind on the Korean Peninsula, thereby giving them hope.

The list includes not only webtoon artists like Philcrum88, but also pianists, theater people, musicians, trot singers, movie actors, and others who had been active before the war.

People looked at the names on that list, looked puzzled, hit their foreheads, and reminisced about a bygone era, but as always, good intentions are often misinterpreted in strange ways.

ㅇㅇ: Hey, if this is real, then isn’t the Jeju fleet also real?

The Jeju Island fleet optimists launched a counterattack, using this typical example as a starting point.

This incident was so convincing that even Lee Park Gyu, who had been a consistent skeptic of the Jeju Island fleet, looked back and wondered if his thoughts had been wrong.

Well, in my case, I can’t help but believe it because I know the reporter’s true identity.

What would other users feel if Skeleton were to shake?

ㅇㅇ: Hey, I guess I have no choice but to believe this.

ㅇㅇ: That’s right. If you bring in a celebrity and kill them, they’ll come out right away, right?

ㅇㅇ: Where have all the deniers gone?

ㅇㅇ: Anyway, these little punks. Whenever they get a chance, they crawl out and do all sorts of crazy things. When I think about the scene where they got naked and went crazy because they were so happy about a composite photo, lol

ㅇㅇ: Actually, if the refugees are a burden, it would be natural to just sink them in the sea. Why bother going all the way to China to abandon them?

…

…

The center of public opinion in South Korea.

The era of the positivist has truly arrived in PaleNet.

As it turns out, a square peg in a square hole appears in every square inch.

M9, which was the leader of the deniers, faced a stronger backlash than anyone else.

At the center of it all was Baek Seung-hyun.

dongtanmom: Yum yum… M9…. M9 is nine people? Are you saying that you are sending the Jeju Island fleet to China? Say something… Yum yum….

dongtanmom: Yum yum… m9. Why aren’t you saying anything? If you live in a slanted house, is your drinking bowl also slanted? Quickly refute me. Why are you collecting the other people while you’re going to kill them all in China? Yum yum…

Baek Seung-hyun bit the dying m9 more cruelly than anyone else, as if trying to vent all the anger he had suffered.

Even from the perspective of a third party watching, it was worrisome.

However, even an earthworm will squirm if you step on it.

mmmmmmmmm : This is so easy….

Wagjak-

mmmmmmmmm: Where do you live?
