Chapter 241

Episode 241 [What the Doppelganger Wants (1)]

The night Kyung-hoon met James was a nightmarish night for the FBI and CIA in New York.

Dozens of awakened and CIA agents were killed and numerous FBI agents were injured.

Moreover, seeing such damage, the siege was broken.

I found out that another great combat awakener helped the target, but I couldn’t find out the identity of the person who helped me, let alone the target whose face I couldn’t identify.

Among the people who survived, no one saw their faces properly, and the CCTV cameras placed everywhere were damaged during that time.

When the CIA director arrived in Washington, he ordered the deployment of troops in a cold voice, but he did not expect to catch the agents who had received the order.

As they thought, Kyung-hoon and James stopped by the hideout James had made, took a bath and changed clothes, and then came to a luxury residential area in Manhattan Beach.

The mansion that Kyung-hoon prepared a few years ago was still well maintained.

Kyung-hoon opened the secret door and headed to the basement of the mansion.

Buuuuuung.

When Kyung-hoon turned on the switch, the monitors that had not been used for a long time came to life again.

Monitors fill the walls and a comfortable, luxurious interior.

James looked into the room and sighed.

“This is really the secret base you see in the movies.”

He remembered the back alley hideout he had passed through a while ago.

“You can use this place from now on.”

“no. You can’t take unnecessary risks. “I also have many places to stay.”

James shook his head at Kyung-hoon’s words.

[Fortunately, the network I created before is alive.]

As Eve spoke, people’s photos and histories continued to pass by on the monitors.

After a while, the screens that kept passing by stopped. A total of eight people’s personal details appeared on the screen.

[I sent the list to my cell phone.]

At Eve’s words, James checked his cell phone. An email came in.

“Can we find out the whereabouts of the people on this list?”

[This is a list of people expected to have the code to unlock the nuclear bag. Updates stopped two years ago, so I don’t know where I am now.]

James looked at the list with a gloomy face.

“...In the end, you plan to draw your sword against the United States.”

Kyunghoon responded to James’ words.

“My misjudgment led to Marcelo’s death.”

Surprised, James looked at Kyung-hoon. Kyung-hoon continued speaking in a pitchless voice.

“The knife has already been drawn. EV has already declared war on the United States.”

EV’s declaration of war was the same as Kyung-hoon’s declaration of war.

James got goosebumps at Kyung-hoon’s calm voice.

There seemed to be no trace of sadness or anger over losing Marcelo on Kyung-hoon’s face. Instead, all I could see was a determination for revenge.

James closed his eyes.

“If it’s hard to do, you don’t have to do it. “You can find another way.”

“...Then the damage will be even worse.”

James opened his eyes and looked at Kyunghoon.

“Couldn’t it just be the president, or government ministers and military leaders?”

Kyunghoon shook his head.

One mistake was enough. We couldn’t just leave the country where awakened people are transformed into robots through surgery.

“Phew... Then, please keep the sacrifice to a minimum. Everyone was just driven by madness.”

Despite Gyeong-hoon’s refusal, he could not refuse the task he was asked to do. He

had to at least prevent a nuclear war. And he had to return this country to its original state.

Even if he had to be branded a traitor later, there was nothing he could do now. There was none.

He put his cell phone in and said hello to Kyung-hoon.

“It won’t take long. I’ll contact you as soon as I check.”

“Wouldn’t you need security?”

“It’s okay. This is far from where they were looking, and the curfew is about to be lifted, so there’s no problem.”

It was James, who had already been hiding for a long time. The smell had disappeared, and the awakened man and the dogs that were tracking him were no longer alive. He

was confident that he would not be caught unless something like yesterday happened.

He left the mansion right away.

“Oh, I didn’t tell you about the monster. ”

James, who had stopped walking, immediately shook his head.

There were monsters living underground in New York, but what was important right now was not those monsters. The

morning sun was rising over New York Bay in the distance.

People passing by on the streets at dawn looked better than before. He

had to hurry. He pulled up the collar of his old coat and quickened his pace.

*

At the same time, the White House.

He was launched down the stairs as if he was running in the air.

There were awakened people blocking him in the middle, but they couldn’t stop Kyung-hoon.

Weapon There was no need to take it out. The awakened people’s shields were shattered by his fist, ending their lives.

Those who were not a threat did not need to take any action, but there was no reason to look after those who were not. Within

a few minutes, Kyung-hoon was on the lowest platform of the subway. Arrived at.

He saw a writhing lump of flesh in the center of the platform.

“What is this?”

Gyeonghoon looked at the monster with a bewildered face.

He was nervous as he thought it might be a monarch, but what came out was a lump of flesh that resembled a squishy brain.

– This is the first monster I’ve seen. It might have some characteristics. Please be careful! It

was staring at the lump of flesh . Kyung-hoon shook his head at Eve’s words. There was something wrong with this monster.

And there was no need to pay attention to its characteristics.

“I know what its characteristics are.”

He could feel images radiating from the monster. Powerful images spreading far away.

But these were images he could barely make out until he got this close.

A strange image of avoiding those with mana. If it weren’t for Kyung-hoon, the Awakened would have been right in front of him. It must have been difficult to know.

At that time, an image rang in Kyung-hoon’s head. The monster seemed to be capable of normal images as well.

Curiosity, doubt, and doubt.

If put into human words, it was an image that could be replaced with a single word.

[What are you?]

Danger There seemed to be no. Kyung-hoon responded to the image,

“I am a human awakened person.”

Embarrassed, shocked, cheered. [No way! How could a human be!]

The monster seemed to have seen through Gyeong-hoon’s abilities.

[I can’t believe there is a human like you! If I only had a body, I wouldn’t leave you alone!]

Unjust images kept coming to Kyung-hoon. All

the unfair stories, from the pain that he could not deal with because he had no body,

to the story of being defeated and left with only a brain, to the brainwashing of humans under the orders of the doppelganger here,

became images and poured out to Kyung-hoon.

Kyung-hoon looked at the monster with a bewildered expression.

The monster revealed all of its secrets to Kyung-hoon in a strange way.

I could see why this monster was doing this from the image that flew in.

“You’re asking me to kill you.”

Although it was following its master’s orders because of its oath, this monster was thirsting for death.

Kyung-hoon took out a greatsword from subspace.

[Ugh. It is unfair. If only I had the strength!]

Joy flowed in along with the anger that was created.

“There are a lot of questions I want to ask, but it will be difficult to answer.”

Plus there was no time. According to the image I received, I had to kill the monster as quickly as possible.

Strange tentacles began to extend from the monster’s brain. It seemed like it was probably a monster attack.

Kyung-Hoon dodged the tentacle and stabbed his sword.

Was it because only the brain was left? There were no painful images.

Kyung-Hoon poured mana into the sword.

A crack appears on the sword and

quaaaaaang!

The sword exploded inside the monster.

At that moment, the monster threw its last image at Kyung-hoon.

Was it that he was free from dependence the moment he died?

[Thank you. May your clan not lose.]

With a final thank you, the monster’s body exploded.

Wow!

Flesh was scattered everywhere.

At that moment, all the images spreading everywhere disappeared.

Kyung-hoon threw the sword with only the handle remaining.

Then Kyung-hoon stretched out his hand.

A silver hole spread over the bloody Seungjang River.

It was a portal to Washington.

Kyung-hoon, who was throwing himself into the dimension door, was smiling grimly.

“The CIA director is a doppelganger?”

The image delivered by the monster also contained the identity of the director.

Kyung-hoon’s voice disappeared into the portal and the platform, which had become a sea of blood, fell into silence again.
