Chapter 271

#271

Going out (3)

I leisurely drank coffee and looked at reactions on the Internet.

“As expected, I expected it to some extent. “This is no ordinary mess.”

I was directly involved in the villain’s recent terrorist attack on a large hospital.

So, I was planning to keep a close eye on the situation going forward...

‘Not much time has passed yet.’

Looking at the level of the commotion, it seemed like it was going to turn into something bigger than expected.

When he was examining public opinion with such a serious expression.

“hmm? Did you wake up? “It’s faster than I thought.”

With my sensitive senses, I felt a rustling sound in the quiet room.

I got up from my seat and immediately opened the door and went inside and spoke to Kang Tae-san, who had just woken up with a sleepy look on his face.

“Are you awake?”

In order to recover more efficiently, I deliberately took measures to get him to sleep well, but since he is basically a strong guy, that didn’t seem to last very long.

“Uh...what is it? Did I sleep? Rather, this place...?”

The guy who was looking up with a blank expression and blinking his eyes as he glanced at his surroundings tilted his head.

As if he was thinking about why he was here in a familiar place he hadn’t seen in a long time.

That’s because this was the house I lived in before I moved.

Since I didn’t really need the money, I didn’t bother to sell it and left it as a base in Seoul, but thanks to that, it came in handy at the right time.

“Now that I think about it...”

But Kang Taesan’s reaction didn’t last long.

He frowned and muttered quietly as if he had remembered something, but suddenly stopped talking.

Then he opened his eyes and jumped up from where he was lying.

“for a moment! what? What about that explosion then? Or rather, my grandmother?!”

“excuse me.”

In response, I slowly moved aside and pointed to one side of the room.

There, sleeping quietly on the bedding, was an old woman who did not wake up despite all the commotion.

“Whoa—.”

Taesan Kang hurriedly walked next to him and carefully checked his condition, then breathed a sigh of relief.

Of course, he was not a doctor, but even the rising anxiety melted away at the sight of the grandmother breathing peacefully with a better complexion than before she was discharged.

The conversation with Taesan Kang, who had found his peace, continued after he quietly left the room.

“So, are you okay...? I think you were covering us right before the explosion...”

“I’m fine. They know that I am strong because I exercise every day. You should also do some exercise. “Don’t just sit in the office.”

“What dude? Hey, our department spends more days outside than in the office, right? Plus, since I’m the youngest, I have to take care of all the errands! “Do you know the hardships faced by low-level civil servants?”

After exchanging a few words as if arguing with a friend, the topic returned to the main topic.

“But what really happened? “Even though I was involved in an accident, I feel so refreshed, like I woke up from a good night’s sleep.”

“Well, I think they said it was some kind of terrorist attack. Watch the news for details. “Because they’re making a lot of noise right now.”

“...under! You mean terrorism? Well, it’s been a bit quiet these days. There’s no way the terrorists can stay quiet forever. Not only was I caught up in a terrorist attack while on vacation, but work hell awaits me when I return...”

The current youngest member of the Criminal Investigation Division of the Ability Management Bureau, holding his head and frowning as if in pain.

The guy who took out his smartphone to check on the situation was despondent when he realized that it had been damaged by a direct hit from the EMP, but then he turned on the TV in the living room and turned on the news.

-Around 1pm today. A terrorist attack targeting patients occurred at a large hospital in Heuksang-dong, Seoul. The first thing the culprit did was to disable all nearby electronic devices....

News that had already been reported several times was played on TV again.

In fact, the fact that a terrorist attack occurred was not something that deserved such special attention.

In this world, such incidents were regular events that occurred whenever they were forgettable, and that was a perception that did not change even now that the crime rate had decreased due to the Hahoe Mask.

In fact, isn’t public order now quite stable thanks to the outstanding returnee named Hahoetal?

Moreover, since the paladin did not use the unpleasant dark magic like Hahoetal, people could not help but be even more enthusiastic.

-If you have that level of divine power, isn’t it one of the top 3 in the country just based on level? Maybe we can catch Hahoetal, the warlock?

└Yes, no. I admit it’s great, but it has its limits. It is obvious that it will spread before you can use it much due to the lack of output.

└Are you blind? Even after watching that video, it prints ᄋᄌᄅ

└Have you been living abroad? There is an achievement for the Hahoe mask, but what nonsense? How can you mix a newbie who just returned with Hahoetal?

└Okay, so what is Hahoetal doing now? Aren’t you already behind in a place where there’s no one around? Hahaha

└You bastard don’t live in Korea, do you? It felt strange somehow. That was aggro.

└[This comment has been deleted.]

There was even a fight between Hahoetal’s passionate fans and those who disliked him.

‘They fight over everything.’

Of course, in a situation where both of them were themselves, it only seemed like they were wasting their energy unnecessarily.

I looked at the community again, roughly surveying public opinion, and stroked my chin.

-A montage of hospital paladins was drawn based on eyewitness testimony. Of course, it’s just armor.

└Oh, it’s so cool. I recommend it.

└Seeing it like this gives me a feeling. But how can you suddenly appear and disappear wearing something like this? That seems like a really expensive magic tool.

-Please, Holy Knight. My mother is very sick. I will definitely give examples...

– I am a writer for MBS broadcasting station. If anyone has seen it somewhere else, please contact me...

Perhaps because it was such a spectacular debut, I don’t have a single proper photo, but it felt strange to see their popularity soar like this.

And it won’t just be limited to public opinion.

Many organizations at home and abroad have probably already started taking action to find Heinrich.

‘Even if you do, you won’t be able to find me. ‘I deliberately created as wide an area as possible with divine power.’

No matter how many different abilities there are in the world, they will not be able to read anything from such high-purity spiritual energy waves.

Since I used “Blessing: Leap” when going back and forth between the bathroom and the site, it would be difficult to find a physical connection.

‘The most obvious thing would have been to summon Heinrich... but the situation wasn’t at the point to do that.’

The battle with the revolutionaries was just moments ago.

Of course, “Summon the Otherworld Transfer” was used to send Hans, who was on the edge of the abyss, back to Outerica, so if he had been summoned at that time, there would have been a gap of several days.

‘The Pope’s funeral has just ended and we are in the process of finalizing it.’

Also, once things were sorted out to some extent, it was easy enough to summon him occasionally and create an alibi, so it wasn’t a big problem.

I closed the community site I was viewing and lightly shrugged my shoulders.

“ah...! Now that I think about it, I know that my department team members’ grandmother was hospitalized there. “I already know the reason for today’s vacation.”

At that time, Kang Tae-san looked at his dead smartphone and muttered absently.

It’s as if you can clearly see what would have happened if that thing were alive.

The youngest person who was at the scene on the day of the incident.

No matter how much I fainted from the beginning and said I didn’t know anything, I had a bright future where I would be harassed by seniors who were trying to catch even the slightest clue.

“...let’s put off signing up for a new phone until right before the vacation ends.”

Of course, given the nature of the department, that was not possible.

The guy who cried and hurriedly opened a new smartphone was bombarded with messages and calls as he expected, and fell into a groggy state.

The good news is that my vacation wasn’t cut off thanks to my team members who understood that I had to take care of my grandmother.

“Ahhhh—! Surely this isn’t the person we need to find? Please report my return, fair paladin! “The law is meant to be obeyed...! If you take the Hahoe mask route...!”

Kang Taesan trembles at the prospect of an ominous future.

‘sorry.’

I left my friend behind and headed home after what felt like a particularly long outing.

Now that I’ve made my debut, I think it would be good to use Heinrich often in the future.
