Chapter 44

Didn’t Know It Would Be This Strong

Kim Gwang-ho was also in a state no different from being confined.

“If showing turning off the power in front, it seemed like would say words that can become evidence more easily so did that.”

The cult leader said let’s converse calmly so entered the counseling room, but immediately large build believers found the recorder he was hiding and damaged it and blocked the door.

“The cult leader long spouting nonsense that it’s a misunderstanding or something while coaxing like threatening···. At that time you and Bong-sik came.”

When the child in the warehouse was rescued and the police seemed to request support, only then the large build believers and cult leader moved and Kim Gwang-ho could also come out in that gap.

“Hey.”

Burns made an absurd expression.

“Gwang-ho no matter how much an actor you are, didn’t you watch dramas and movies too much? Fool? Did you think that would actually work? What if we didn’t come right away?”

“Sorry for making worried. Sorry, Bong-sik. For nothing because of me···.”

I shook my head.

“It’s fine. As a result Gwang-ho also came out, and could save the abused child right.”

Although startling with mice is me.

I apologized inwardly toward the child just getting on the ambulance.

Sorry.

The numerous mice in the warehouse, as soon as the door opened scattered in all directions and ran away.

By the way.

I lowered the gaze to the lower left.

From around 10 minutes after entering here, a very small clock icon appeared above the MP gauge.

What on earth is this?

Previously when sitting next to Choi Hyun-su’s former manager also a log ‘Observed ‘False One’ for a certain time.’ appeared and attack power increased.

Like that, does the ‘fake sanctuary’ also give a buff after a certain time from entering?

When lost in careful thought.

From the large building dozens mixed with a considerable number of [False One] poured out in a rush.

“Who arbitrarily taking our kid?!”

Among them a middle-aged couple rushed to the ambulance.

“Move aside!”

“Get down! Get down!”

“Hwaaang···!”

They pushed the paramedic, and forcibly pulled the child sitting in the ambulance.

“Don’t do this!”

“Who are you to take our kid! Is giving a bit of punishment for doing a bad thing that wrong?!”

“Are you the child’s parents?”

The police stepped forward and restrained the two people.

“Locking the child in the warehouse and even attaching a lock is not discipline but abuse!”

“Why do you judge that! We say it’s fine! Hey! You say! Were you abused? Huh?!”

“Hwaaang···!”

“Don’t shout. ···Quickly put the child on. Close the door.”

“Move aside!”

Have I seen such crazy things.

Even if fallen into a cult religion, those things are parents?

“Suddenly barging into someone else’s private property what are you doing! If police is that all?!”

“Doing this you’ll receive heavenly punishment, you bastards! Aren’t you afraid of heaven?!”

“Abuse! Why framing good citizens as criminals! That child entered himself and was praying!”

“Block! Block!”

“The police are kidnapping the child!”

Other believers were also a spectacle.

Shouting and protesting to the police as a group.

“Come come, since there seems to be a misunderstanding let’s resolve calmly with conversation.”

“Cult leader···!”

Cult leader?

The believers murmured and split.

Even though weather warm not to the point of a bit hot, a middle-aged man stuffily wearing a suit.

[False One]

Thought if cult leader something would be different, but there was no such thing.

Just a [False One].

“Cult leader please stay inside. These vicious bastards we···!”

“No. The person in charge here is me. I’ll converse.”

They’re acting up.

When people poured out in a rush stayed still, then belatedly pretending to be something slowly dignified.

“Are you the person in charge here?”

“If asking the legal position no. But so these people can do correct religious life the path···.”

“Don’t spout nonsense, you scammer!”

Kim Gwang-ho shouted and stepped forward.

Burns hastily grabbed him.

“Hey, Kim Gwang-ho···!”

I also blocked in front of Kim Gwang-ho.

“There are guys filming with phones behind. If stepping forward like this only Gwang-ho will be troubled.”

“But···!”

Vroom.

In the meantime the ambulance departed with the child on.

No.

Tried to but.

“Block!”

The believers rushed and closed the gate.

“Why saying quietly praying kid is abuse and kidnapping!”

“If this isn’t oppression what is it!”

Several loud [False One] leading and inciting was visible.

Even so it was a complete mess separately.

Is this place really 21st century Republic of Korea?

At that moment.

A red system window appeared again.

[Awakening skill ‘God’s Silence’ activation possible]

“······?”

The ‘Silence’ debuff that appeared together every time attacking [False One] with ‘Divine Punishment’ skill.

An icon that looked really similar to that, newly appeared next to the clock icon and flickered bright red.

[System]

-Stayed in ‘fake sanctuary’ for a certain time.

-Observed ‘False One’ for a certain time.

-Discovered awakening skill ‘God’s Silence’ activation condition.

-Awakening skill ‘God’s Silence’ activation condition fulfilled.

A wide wave tinged with faint blue and red also unfolded, but the position changed according to the angle of the cane in hand.

“······!”

Even a person who hasn’t played games much, if only having sense can immediately notice.

That the blue wave exactly indicates the attack range of the awakening skill ‘God’s Silence’.

I turned my body.

“Aigo, the police are hitting people!”

“Rather step on me and pass!”

“What’s child abuse child abuse! Give our kid, bastards!”

“Everyone please calm down. And our excellent police teachers. Even if there’s a misunderstanding, is it okay to do this coercively?”

Guys shouting ‘the police are hitting people’ while pushing the police, the cult leader rather falsely inciting while pretending to stop people.

The wriggling [False One] were covered by the blue wave.

“Teacher!”

“Teacher, are you okay?”

At that time seeing the police falling pushed by people, Kim Gwang-ho and Burns ran.

I quickly examined the awakening skill icon again.

“······.”

No matter how looking it looks like an expanded version of the ‘Silence’ debuff.

The awakening skill name is also ‘God’s Silence’.

Don’t know how it will become if using this, but better than the current situation where innocent police are helplessly grabbed by the collar.

I raised the cane so more [False One] enter the attack range.

“Activate awakening skill ‘God’s Silence’.”

Centered on me the blue wave largely undulated like a wave and spread.

Very quietly···.

Swept all [False One] and people who are not.

“······?!”

“······!”

The [False One] simultaneously became sluggish.

The noisy voices they were making also all disappeared, and instantly became quiet.

“······.”

“······.”

[False One] uniformly opening their mouths and flinching.

Faces quite flustered and surprised because voices don’t come out, and bodies also don’t move as intended.

“Why, why are you doing that?”

“···Teacher?”

People who are not [False One] flustered at their suddenly changed state.

“······.”

I also flustered.

Huh.

A big problem.

Didn’t know it would be this strong.

[System]

-Used awakening skill ‘God’s Silence’.

-‘False One’ fall into ‘Swamp of Silence’ state for 5 minutes.

-Experience +97.05%

-Level up!

[MP 160/160]

The awakening skill ‘God’s Silence’ icon disappeared, and the red and blue guide wave also disappeared.

A blue system window appeared.

[Achieved achievement ‘Shut your mouths, you guys’!]

[System]

-Used awakening skill ‘God’s Silence’ for the first time.

-Achieved achievement ‘Shut your mouths, you guys’.

-Achievement ‘Shut your mouths, you guys’ achievement effect: MP increases by 30

[MP 190/190]

In the meantime with level up MP increased to 160, and here achieved the achievement ‘Shut your mouths, you guys’ and became 190.

“···Th, first open the gate! Ah, no, I’ll open! Please move aside!”

Dozens suddenly as if infected with something, or like crazy with eyes wide open only opening their mouths.

The police also seemed to feel fear at this bizarre situation, but carefully moved the people blocking the path aside.

Believers who are not [False One] flustered not knowing what to do, examining those who fell into the ‘Swamp of Silence’ state.

“Cu, cult leader? Cult leader?”

“Kim teacher, Kim teacher why are you doing that···!”

Burns and Kim Gwang-ho also whether quite surprised, hunched their shoulders and only looked around.

“Wh, why are these people like this···?”

“Don’t know···.”

I also casually approached and joined beside the two people.

“Seems like ate something wrong as a group···.”

Vroom.

The ambulance moved again sounding the siren.

The [False One] who became sluggish like zombies only blinked their eyes with faces immersed in confusion and fear, couldn’t do anything.

***

In front of the police station.

“Worked hard, Bong-sik.”

“Hyung too.”

Me and Burns came to find Kim Gwang-ho whose contact was cut off, and by chance discovered the child abuse scene as witnesses.

So the police investigation ended soon.

On the other hand Kim Gwang-ho as a former believer of that cult religion, and also having a lot to state about today’s matter remained at the police station.

“Since someone from Gwang-ho’s agency will come soon, it’ll be fine now. By the way those people earlier, what on earth were they possessed by?”

I pretended not to know.

“Well···.”

A little earlier, the [False One] hit by the awakening skill ‘God’s Silence’.

When 5 minutes passed and the ‘Swamp of Silence’ state was released, uniformly poured out these words.

「God, God got angry···!」

「Di, did you see just now? Fr, from the sky large two eyes···.」

「Sorry, sorry···!」

Some also lay flat on the floor and begged.

Anyway it seems a scary illusion appeared only in their eyes.

The cult leader also briefly lost his mind, but soon spouted that kind of sound ‘God descended wanting to see the appearance of overcoming a difficult trial!’.

Admired.

Really felt that even a cult leader is not something anyone does.

“Anyway shall we go now?”

“Yeah.”

Me and Burns moved steps trudging.

After dropping Burns off in front of the Hertz dorm, I stopped by the abandoned animal shelter again.

“Was regretting not packing in advance earlier. Thank you for coming again.”

The director held out an envelope containing a tremendous amount of wild chives. Heavy.

“Huk. This is too much, director.”

“Compared to what Bong-sik helped in the meantime it’s small. And somehow after Bong-sik came to our shelter, it seems good things keep happening.”

I smiled brazenly.

“I look a bit like a lucky mascot right?”

The director and staff burst into laughter.

I gifted two Red Phantom t-shirts and a few keyrings to the two people, and returned home.

“On earth how far did you digress to come in at this time? ···Oh my, gave this much? Thankful what to do?”

“Haha. Please eat dinner first. I’ll wash a bit and rest.”

“Yeah, looks very tired. Rest.”

I stretched on the bed as soon as washing.

Sniff sniff.

Arong stepped on the dog stairs and came up on the bed, smelled my scent.

“Arong, hyung washed cleanly···.”

Sniff sniff.

I half buried my head in the pillow and muttered.

“Skill window.”

[Kang Bong-sik (Plague Doctor Lv.14) possessed skills]

[Passive Skills]

-Immunity Lv.3

[Active Skills]

-Plague Treatment Lv.4 (79.5/100)

-Bloodletting Lv.1 (9.9/100)

-Divine Punishment Lv.1 (5/100) - Divine Wind Lv.1 (0/100)

[Awakening Skill]

-God’s Silence Lv.1

The awakening skill ‘God’s Silence’ was newly added.

Seeing no proficiency beside like the passive skill ‘Immunity’, this also seems to level up only when achieving some condition.

Thinking of the power the level up condition seems quite tricky.

Sniff sniff.

Lick lick.

“Ticklish, Arong···.”

After a certain time the skill window disappeared.

I stroked Arong and lay right away.

“······.”

Ding.

The clock icon that was above the MP gauge also disappeared long ago after leaving the ‘fake sanctuary’.

Blankly looking at the system UI that became familiar now, picked up the phone.

Lee Mun-yeong sent a DM.

-[Hello, Plague Doctor-nim. You called? Is there some matter?]

-[(Photo)]

-[Discovered a hat at the duty free that seems to suit the Plague Doctor-nim’s mask well and bought! Pretty right?]

···Today’s matter, should I tell our legal intermediary as is?

Hmm.

Let’s tell only exactly half.
