Hiding a House in the Apocalypse Episode 388

157. Team (2)

I have never been a racist.

Some people criticized me for looking down on the Chinese because I neither spoke Chinese nor tried to learn it, but I never criticized China even in the extreme situation of war.

The same goes for school hunters and academy hunters.

In general, the academy hunters were inferior to the school hunters, but there were some who were better than the school hunters.

I treated them and respected them no differently than the school hunters.

However, there are exceptions everywhere.

He is a fanatic.

They were deliberately excluded from the scope of tolerance.

There may also be a practical reason, not only because of the danger, but also because they do not want to lose their comrades due to needless hesitation, given that they have given up on humanity themselves.

So I never expected that the day would come when I would have a frank conversation with a fanatic.

It seems that the power of time is something that individual will cannot do anything about.

Finally, the fanatic appeared before me.

Although the adjective metastasis may be attached, such a distinction has no meaning to someone like me.

We know very well that people do not change, and we also know how much easier it is for someone who has crossed a line once to cross it again than someone who has not.

So my attitude was rather defensive.

“So what? What do you want to say?”

I’ve felt this way before, but Ham Chun-ok really liked decorating.

Even when she was rescued, the scene of her nails dyed in various colors on the luxury padding she got from somewhere left a strong impression, but then she went a step further and wore an excessive amount of shiny things on her ears.

As for other fancy clothes and decorations, I will skip them because they are beyond my fashion sense.

“How many people are there there?”

A softer Seoul accent than before.

Here, the word Dalja (達者) is one of the words of the fanatics who speak Awaken.

Just as we describe the process of becoming Awakened through awakening, enlightenment, metamorphosis, etc., they also expressed Awakening in a variety of languages.

In the sect that Ham Chun-ok belonged to, it seems that they called her Dal-ja.

He nodded.

“It’s away.”

Of course, we did not forget to cleanse the language of fanaticism.

Ham Chun-ok lightly rubbed her lips with her finger with a puzzled expression.

“Why do people there like American, or rather English, so much?”

“Because it’s an international standard.”

“South Koreans, especially older ones, mix a lot of English into their speech to a suspicious degree.”

“There are a few people like that.”

It’s not really important.

What matters is this woman’s intentions.

I waited silently for her to open her mouth.

“Awake.”

She used our terminology.

“Awake, what should I say these days. Uh······.”

“?”

“Ah! Aren’t you shaking?”

He nodded.

At the same time, a fact that I had known for a long time but had not been aware of suddenly struck my mind.

Yeah, this guy was Awaken too.

He was also a highly qualified friend even among the regular Awakens.

I’m not sure, but I heard he’s a promising second awakening prospect.

Despite having such abilities, Ham Chun-ok appears normal, unlike other regular Awakens.

The fact that she is dressed up in flashy attire from head to toe seems to speak of her leisurely nature.

“Are you okay?”

I asked her.

Ham Chun-ok rolled her eyes and then turned her head towards the direction of the eyes.

Probably the northwest.

“The envoy of the Jijangsa Temple is nearby.”

The guardian deity.

If I remember correctly, it refers to the general type.

At that time, the fanatics captured in that battle showed signs of external stress such as almost absent-minded expressions, seizures and convulsions, and chanted crude, extremely fanatic words such as “지장사자”.

It is probably a combination of the word for Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva in Buddhism and the word for lion, the monster they refer to.

It was a monster that was treated specially even by fanatics.

“so?”

I asked casually, feeling an incurable curiosity rising stronger than my distrust of fanatics.

“The Jijangsaja takes our Dalja to paradise. That’s why Dalja’s body shrinks and cannot raise its energy just by being near the Jijangsajaja. Some people even lose their souls.”

“Don’t you want to run too?”

“yes.”

Ham Chun-ok nodded.

“How can you be okay?”

A faint smile appeared on Ham Chun-ok’s lips.

“You can just ignore it.”

“ignore?”

“yes.”

She lightly patted her belly.

The behavior seemed to suggest that there was something important in his stomach.

“In the Republic, they say that the general is always right and that he will create a strong and prosperous country and feed the people well. In the religious sect, they say that the words of the general are always right and will lead us to paradise. But in fact, aren’t we the most important people ourselves?”

“······Well, I guess so.”

“The Jijangsaji is constantly asking questions. He always says the right thing. No matter how you think about it, he says the right thing. In fact, we don’t understand what he means, but we know that he’s right as a ghost.”

Seunghwan Ahn also told a similar story.

I think it was called an infinitely fitting year.

Something I, who have not received God’s blessings, will never understand.

But I think I understand a little bit.

“Is that what you call providence?”

He shook his head.

“I don’t think the word ‘providence’ is used for such trickery.”

“I guess so?”

Ham Chun-ok caresses her stomach again.

Those eyes had a color that only someone who could see, feel, and handle more than I could.

“There are things I must protect.”

“······.”

She looked straight at me.

I have never once looked a fanatic in the eye.

There are many things in the world that you don’t need to know, and I thought that the inner self of a fanatic was also something that didn’t matter in life if you didn’t know.

There was nothing special in her eyes.

Aside from the fact that it glows softly, these eyes are no different from those of people around you.

“They also say in church. If you want to avoid being called to the Jijangsa Temple, have a child.”

The child itself may not be the condition.

They must have said that because it is the heaviest thing a person can have in life.

I opened my mouth looking at her.

“Are you talking about making something precious?”

“yes.”

He nodded.

“In the end, it all comes down to personal will.”

A very common but most difficult conclusion.

I was about to end the conversation feeling a little disappointed.

Across the hallway, a government official with a familiar face was looking this way.

“ah.”

When I tried to ask for understanding, Ham Chun-ok opened her mouth again.

“Is there a problem?”

“No. I just heard the voice of the guardian angel again.”

I exhaled and pricked up my ears.

I don’t feel anything.

“But you know, there’s something about this city.”

“There’s something?”

“Yes. I don’t know what it is, but it feels like something is enveloping the city. It’s similar to a voice, but it’s different from a voice······.”

He gestured to government officials for their understanding.

I’m not sure, but I have a feeling this will be an important story.

“Is that what you call neutralization? It’s when two substances with different properties undergo a chemical reaction, and the properties of the two substances disappear, creating a compound with intermediate properties.”

“Probably so.”

“I feel like my voice is being muffled. Here. I’ve been feeling it for a while, but recently, in the center of this city, in places with lots of people, I’ve been feeling a sense of dullness in my voice, including the voice of the guardian deity.”

She took something out of her bosom.

cell phone.

If I remember correctly, it was an expensive phone that came out just before the war.

Ham Chun-ok gently shook the phone, which was wrapped in a case that a young woman might like, even though its LCD was broken.

“It feels like it’s coming from this phone.”

“On your phone?”

“Yes. It wasn’t my phone, but I felt something similar to a voice coming from someone else’s phone.”

I kept my mouth shut for a moment and thought.

I thought of a concept.

Necropolis.

Is Ham Chun-ok speaking the voice of the dead?

Dead Man Walking created it and Valentine traded his life for it, opening the floodgates to our country.

Come to think of it, the powerful Awakens each had their own opinions about the spread of Necropolis.

That this transmission is related to the voices heard from beyond the rift.

But this time, what the fanatic, or rather Ham Chun-ok, talked about was a completely different issue.

“wait for a sec.”

I asked her for her cell phone.

“What is it?”

“Can you write for a moment?”

“I haven’t even received the number here yet.”

“Do you know about Necropolis?”

“no.”

As expected, you’re IT illiterate.

I could tell just by looking at what they were doing in Viva! Apocalypse!

I found an internet icon among the icons scattered around in the background taken with my boyfriend.

Go to the Internet and enter an address.

and.

[ F. Sawyer, M. O’Connor, Byung-sun K and For the Lovely Red ]

[ Welcome to the noisy city of death . ]

Open the gates of the Necropolis.

“What are you doing?”

“for a moment.”

I just wrote down whatever I wanted.

“······.”

Swish swish

Dead43821(KOR) : Viva! Apocalypse! Anyone know the best named skeleton?

This is truly an article written without any selfish intentions, following the flow of consciousness.

After writing and uploading the article, I looked at Ham Chun-ok’s face.

“uh?”

She looked at me with a slightly surprised expression.

“What did you do just now?”

After all, does Necropolis have special powers?

I tried to continue writing.

“······.”

Swish swish

Deadman43821(KOR): I actually saw Skeleton and he was really handsome······

“······.”

Swish swish

Deadman43821(KOR): It looks exactly like Cha Yun-yu······

“what are you doing?”

Ham Chun-ok tries to look at her cell phone.

He hurriedly hid the screen and asked her with a serious face.

“What did you just feel?”

“Hunger?”

“No, other than that, what did you feel on your phone?”

“Ah. That.”

After Ham Chun-ok gathered her thoughts, she opened her mouth again.

“Something is coming out. It’s similar to the voice, but what should I call it? A voice that is completely different from the voice of the guardian deity, not one that forces understanding, but one that makes real sense and is understandable?”

“okay?”

For a moment, I felt my heart pounding.

okay.

There was something like this too.

His reputation as a professor was not only earned through his performance on the battlefield.

There must have been several people on the battlefield who fought better than me.

In fact, the footage of a Chinese hunter whose death was confirmed did not differ much from the superhumans they called Murimin.

It is the observer’s merit that puts this Park Gyu on a level above them.

He made numerous discoveries and linked them to the survival of mankind.

The history of discovery seemed to end with the taking off of clothes, but new discoveries were made from time to time.

But this discovery is different from anything that has been done before.

“······Necropolis.”

Perhaps we are on the threshold of a real solution to combat the rift.

Of course, even if it ends in defeat, isn’t it the duty of a living being to struggle rather than helplessly lose?

I need to talk to Woo Min-hee about these results.

“excuse me.”

The day I was about to leave, Ham Chun-ok called me.

“What’s going on?”

The prejudice against fanatics has long since disappeared.

“There’s something I’ve been wondering about.”

But this look.

“······Captain.”

It’s strangely sticky.

What should I say?

It’s the same look that countless women have given me over the years.

I have to cut it off seriously, at least to avoid giving her any room to move on.

“I’m sorry, but I don’t touch women who have boyfriends.”

“That’s not to say that there is no such thing.”

Ham Chun-ok suddenly became serious.

“Why do you hang around the internet doing things like that?”

“?”

“You go around writing weird stuff.”

“What?”

“Why do you write beatboxing and stuff that no one will read?”

“What are you talking about?”

“SKELTON. Isn’t that your nickname, Captain?”

“That’s true, but.”

Even I think that sticking your neck out now is a very contradictory action.

“I would go in first and write a comment about the obscene article and then sit down.”

“?”

“You leave weird comments while pretending not to see them, right? Like a party official who pretends not to see them but looks at them sinisterly.”

I looked at my watch.

“Let’s talk next time.”

“Sir, in reality, people seem to be quite bad······ Gojo, the Internet is a mirror of the world, so shouldn’t we be human there too?”

I hurriedly escaped from the fanatic.

“colon.”

Ham Chun-ok calls from behind.

He turned his head slightly without answering and waited for her to continue.

“Please call us if you need us! We know it’s hard to believe, but we’ll help if we can!”

He nodded with a smile.

Unfortunately, Woo Min-hee was in Ganghwa Island.

She left a message for her secretary.

There is no special news from the front.

Regular Awakens are still complaining of mental fatigue, but it doesn’t seem like they’ll be coming here any time soon.

When I returned to my accommodation, several messages were waiting for me.

I saw one of them.

Message from CrunchRoll: Got a skeleton?

A message from the King.

There are a few more behind.

Message from CrunchRoll: I think I was a bit too definitive earlier.

A message from CrunchRoll: Come to think of it, it’s our turn after Seoul. We’re not very good at it, but we’ll help if we can.

A message from CrunchRoll: And I’ll contact that kid too.

Then the cell phone rang.

I wondered who it was, and it was Kim Byeong-cheol.

“Hunter Park Gyu. I got a call from a guy named Park Penguin earlier. He’s the leader of the refugees in Incheon, right? That guy?”

Kim Byeong-cheol talked about what happened while I was away.

Park Penguin will also help us.

And that’s not all.

Kim Byeong-cheol proudly talked about how his “juniors in the corps” could support Seoul in times of emergency, and he talked so excitedly that it seemed like he was going to spit in my face at any moment.

“Yes. You too, sir, sleep well.”

To be conservative, their promises are more likely to be broken than kept.

In this age of decline, there is a greater lack of realistic resources to help than there is a desire to help.

The story is that this is no longer a convenient time when you can donate hundreds of thousands of won by clicking on your cell phone.

but.

“······.”

He leaned his chair back as far as he could, supporting the back of his head with his clasped hands.

Looking back, it was a time when there were fewer people.

The city of ten million has now shrunk to less than a million people.

In an age where people are precious, is it really rational for people to fight, quarrel, and hate each other?

It may be an overly optimistic, flower-filled thought, but I wish the rest of humanity could be one team.

Before the era of finding people to join the team becomes difficult.
