chapter 10
Korea-Japan group (3)
“father… .”
The feeling of being heartbroken and stuffy. Her fingertips trembled and the beating of her heart stimulated Ha Yeon-woo as if hitting her ears.
In case he woke up, he cautiously approached and wrapped his skinny hands on top of his own.
He was very old and thin, but he was definitely right. haven’t seen in a thousand years. The real father who gave birth to you.
I just grabbed my wrist and started contemplating inside.
Mana was infiltrated through the skin, blood vessels, muscles, organs, and circulated to the head and toes to determine the condition.
Skills that are difficult for even a high-ranking military man to perform were unfolded only with his will.
Mana is energy and power in itself.
It is possible to determine the state by estimating the number of circles or the amount of mana inherent in it, even if it is only a 4th tier. Only for those with a lower level than himself.
It is in line with detection using a kind of mana resonance phenomenon.
However, what Ha Yeon-woo is doing now is contemplating the entire human body by dividing it into thousands and tens of thousands of branches with the will to mana.
It was impossible to do it below the 7th level, which did not understand the trick of the heart, and even if it was a 7th level or higher, it was dangerous enough that the moment you made a mistake, the unbridled mana could injure your blood vessels, organs, or muscles and worsen your condition. .
It wasn’t that difficult for Ha Yeon-woo, who had already taken the next step and was able to use marriage skills.
‘Taggi of blood vessels.’
How long has it been since you contemplated every nook and cranny?
What appeared to be blood vessels leading from the vertebrae to the brain was filled with takki. As if charred moths.
‘It’s a drug.’
I’ve seen similar symptoms a few times on the Pan continent.
Most hallucinogenic drugs cause problems in the brain, and nine out of 10 of them are caused by takgi accumulated in the nerves and blood vessels.
Whether it’s to camouflage, or to make a half asshole. They had drugged my father and made him look like a dementia patient.
Mana spread through blood vessels with takgi. When I focused my consciousness there, I was able to look through it like an optical microscope, and soon I was in a coma.
With the will to purify.
‘Go away. And be regenerated.’
A dark red haze rose from Ha Yeon-woo’s body.
wince-
Work that touches the cranial nerve blood vessels. Every time the takgi was erased and the scars were regenerated, Ha Seong-cheol’s body flinched as an automatic reflex.
‘little bit more.’
how long has it been
Ha Yeon-woo did not stop even after removing all the takgi from the blood vessels.
Infused with the spirit of resuscitation into each of the weakened muscles and damaged organs that had not been used for a long time.
Until the marriage with will disappears, it will help my father recover quickly.
“Whoa… .”
Marriage is a higher level power that intervenes in providence, but Ha Yeon-woo was the first to heal someone with it.
I believed in and used the marriage technique that would revive even if the body was cut off or major organs exploded, and the result was quite satisfactory.
The mating season is not constant. It is an incomprehensible thing that does not have a unique property like mana, nor does it have a limit on what it can be used for.
The caster’s past, present, future, will, image, and method of obtaining enlightenment. A power that is like a single power obtained by harmonizing all of them. That was the marriage.
The spirit of Ha Yeon-woo, who had attained enlightenment at the time of his madness, had a strong and destructive tendency, like the color he exhibited.
In addition, the will to revive that he used on others other than himself worked at a much lower halved rate than he thought, but it was a much better result than using only mana.
Ha Seong-cheol’s expression, which had been flinching for a while, became comfortable.
He soon opens his eyes. I was able to make eye contact with Ha Yeon-woo naturally.
Ha Seong-cheol blinked several times to see if he had seen it correctly, and struggled to open his sharp mouth with tears in his eyes.
“Yeonwoo… Yeonwoo? ?”
“father.”
“You’re here… I’m here. at las… .”
The father’s heartbeat was transmitted through the five senses. Ha Yeon-woo, who had been running steeply, started to keep pace with his father, little by little.
“Sorry for being late, Father. I’m back.”
* * *
“It’s not possible.”
The interior of the building overlooking the nursing hospital where the father and son meet.
Several people were occupying the space and having a heated discussion.
The subject is, of course, Ha Yeon-woo’s treatment.
“Why not?”
“If we set a precedent for immunity, wouldn’t the other Awakened people, too, focus on their personal affairs?”
“Are they and Ha Yeon-woo the same case?”
“No, what’s the difference?”
Shortly after Ha Yeon-woo entered the nursing hospital, close to four hundred troops were dispatched to surround it.
The Awakening Crime Investigation Team of the Department of Special Ability, members of nearby guilds who received a request for support, high-ranking Awakeners gathered in response to the government’s request, the police force to control the surroundings, and even personnel from the Blue House.
If you count the crowds gathered to cover or watch the commotion that took place in the middle of Seoul, the surroundings are literally packed tightly.
The people gathered here were the decision makers of each group, and they had entered the building opposite to easily understand the situation and had formed a task force.
Na Sang-gi, the head of the Returned Persons Management Office, had to make decisions and take responsibility on his behalf, even though the minister had to show his face as the matter was an issue.
he shook his head. It was because all the people who gathered were only talking in principle.
When he met Ha Yeon-woo, he knew. That I’m a person who can’t speak.
It wasn’t that he couldn’t understand the language in a bad way, but he was a man with strong convictions.
Once you’ve made up your mind, even if you die, you’ll push through to the end.
At least for a short time, that was how Na Sang-gi felt when he was with Ha Yeon-woo.
The disclaimer stuff that people here are talking about right now. It meant immunity for the three people I killed at the villa and the guards I killed while saving my father at the nursing home.
In the first place, the Korean-Japanese group and the subsequent incidents are out of the question.
Even that was divided into two factions, and they had to be exempted from responsibility and punished, so Na Sang-gi had no choice but to shake his head.
“The President is connected.”
In the middle of the debate, the president’s voice came along with the words of the Blue House personnel.
– This is the president.
Since it was an emergency situation, there were no public officials and no regards as would normally have been the case. Everyone only briefly said hello.
-What do the people on site think?
The world’s first 10-year returnee. Expected force Level 7 or higher. The president, who first learned of all the historical news as a criminal fact, asked with a sigh.
“I am Kim Chan-ho, director of the Awakening Crime Investigation Office of the Department of Special Ability. Mr. President, the acquiescence of an awakening crime leads to another awakening crime. If possible, arrest, if impossible, even kill.”
He, who is usually a single-minded hardliner, expressed his opinion first.
“They say I don’t have the ability, the ability!”
“That’s the high-level Awakeners who requested support… .”
“Right now, Shaolin in China is sparring, but he plays with 10 people in the 6th rank. Catching someone who has been on the board for 40 more years? Is it possible to kill everyone in the guild?”
“President, it is in the middle of Seoul. You won’t be able to handle the damage it’s doing to those around you. We are also in the direction of appeasement… .”
The head of the Taepyeong Guild, the head of the largest guild active in Nowon-gu, protested, and the fire chief also helped.
The moment when Na Sang-gi’s brows were frowned at the constantly shifting focus.
-The ability department side… What are your thoughts on the Returnees’ Administration? I was with him face to face for a few hours.
His mouth opened as he pondered for a moment about how to convey his thoughts most efficiently.
“Mr. President, if it doesn’t disrespect you, can I tell you the truth?”
-Please.
“Rather than exonerating Ha Yeon-woo for killing a few people now… I don’t think those things matter.”
– Then what’s important?
“Sacrificing the least and letting his anger out. That’s the point.”
-sacrifice… ?
“Yes, sacrifice. Do you know what he said to me when he found out he had been consulted by the Hanil Group?”
Is it right to tell the president this? Na Sang-gi, who swallowed a gulp of saliva because he thought he had to be sure, added soon.
“He said he would kill everything related to this. They said that if they block it anyway, they will kill the president or the president’s grandfather, so if anyone wants to inform the superiors or other countries, they will inform them as much as they want.”
* * *
I had sensed the noise outside from the beginning, but I just ignored it.
Because the present moment was precious beyond any doubt.
Sitting side by side on the bed, the first thing we talked about was things about the circumstances.
“So, you rejected it and ended up like this?”
“Then, if you are like me, I understand that you are selling your son, who you do not even know is dead or alive. Is that so?”
The evil hand of the Hanil group was worse than he thought.
It is said that after Ha Yeon-woo went missing, his father did not give up hope even for a moment and searched for him.
Reporting a missing person, distributing leaflets, reporting to the media, etc… .
He didn’t give up even when he was informed that the world was changing and that he might be a returnee.
The one who came to him was the Hanil Group.
It was about three years after Ha Yeon-woo disappeared.
The condition of the contract is for Ha Yeon-woo to cooperate with the guild of the Hanil Group when he returns.
It was an insignificant level compared to the value of the current returnee, but in the situation of Seong-cheol Ha, who was the head of an ordinary family, he said that he offered a large amount of money and offered a contract.
I flatly rejected it.
“Did you throw a shoe?”
“It did. They come to a person who has lost a child and do that sh*t, but what parent wouldn’t do that.”
A small smile hung on Ha Yeon-woo’s lips, not knowing how long it had been since.
Not a smile of remorse. A smile made of genuine joy for the first time in hundreds of years. He was just like his father in his memory.
“About three years and a few months after you went missing, I was kidnapped on my way home from work.”
Seongcheol Ha, who was unable to speak for a while because of a bad memory, starts to explain the process sparsely.
Ha Yeon-woo was able to roughly guess. How painful it must have been, and what kind of process there must have been between the pauses between my father and his story.
I desperately suppressed my anger and held back my anger. Because the place after haehu shouldn’t be ruined.
“My memory is hazy after I was brought here to administer the medicine. Perhaps the remarriage you mentioned was carried out haphazardly while drunk.”
In South Korea, you can legally become a husband and wife just by bringing a marriage certificate to the district office.
Since he was a father who lost all ties with other family members after losing his mother, it would have been easier for him to carry out his plan.
“Father, let’s go out now. We have work to do.”
Seongcheol Ha glanced at the armed forces gathered outside the window and nodded heavily.
He didn’t openly say that Ha Yeon-woo killed someone, but he also had a rough guess.
“Are you okay?”
He speaks with a sad look on his thin face.
It wasn’t about his own safety. I’m worried about Ha Yeon-woo.
A smile and an answer filled with unparalleled confidence flowed from Ha Yeon-woo’s mouth.
“It will be fine. I have the confidence to make it okay no matter what the outside situation is.”
* * *
When Ha Yeon-woo came out to the front gate of the nursing hospital with his father, a group of people approached him.
As expected by Ha Yeon-woo, Na Sang-gi was at the forefront.
‘If I was going to arrest them, they would have come in the first place or conveyed their intentions.’
Na Sang-gi, who had been with him since his return, came out as if he was the representative.
Even the fact that I waited without doing anything until after the meeting was over. All of his actions were basically proof that he would not treat him as a criminal.
“Were you waiting?”
“Yes, basically, I was waiting because I thought I would have something to share.”
“You must have been in a lot of trouble? It’s gotten really emaciated.”
Ha Yeon-woo’s joke was taken aback by Na Sang-gi, who smiled bitterly.
“how. Did the story end well?”
I already had everything figured out. Two helicopters floating in the sky, hundreds of people gathering, troops composed of awakened people, and Na Sang-gi’s party in the building opposite.
“I don’t know if it ended well, but somehow it came together.”
“say it.”
