Regressor’s Life After Retirement - Chapter 364
—————————————
[ (Side Story) Although I am not a disciple ]
The lights are off Inside the building.
Arriving at the meeting point, Anjun confirmed that there was no one around and put an earphone in one ear.
After a while, a familiar voice came from the earphones.
-Any traces while moving?
“…I passed through the intercity gate three times, and after brainwashing a homeless person I met at the second stop, I disguised myself as myself and created an alibi.”
An Jun had two characteristics: [Demon Voice] and [Magic Eyes]. Using those two things, brainwashing ordinary people was nothing.
By now, the homeless people on the streets who have been brainwashed by Anjun are probably enjoying a normal vacation while using the disposable transformation artifact.
“WHA understands I was away for the weekend.”
-Take care of the homeless on your way back.
“…yes. All right.”
Recent events have made the organization (Redfinger) more cautious than before. It had been almost a month since they contacted Anjun.
-I will give you an order.
“…….”
Gulp.
Anjun swallowed dryly and focused on the next voice.
An order issued from the organization within a month.
I could fully anticipate that it would not be easy at all.
-How many believers are currently proselytizing within WHA?
“When you say missionary work, to what extent…”
– This is asking about warriors who are willing to sacrifice their lives for us.
“…….”
In other words, the question was how many people were successfully brainwashed using An Jun’s two characteristics.
Anjun said after gathering his thoughts for a moment.
“Currently, there are about five that can be incorporated into the organization. The others are still not up to that level…”
-They are more hostile than I thought. I know it’s been a while since I entered school.
“…sorry. However, since they all have strong magic resistance, they cannot use their abilities carelessly.”
No matter how much [Demon Voice] and [Demon Eyes] were used, those with strong magic resistance had to put in little effort over a long period of time to see the natural effect.
-Is it possible to increase the number of people to 10 within a month?
“…It is possible, but the risks are high. This is especially a problem for professors. “If the students even notice that they have been brainwashed…”
– We have to endure that much for the sake of the organization.
An Jun was angry at the way he was treated as a chess player, but he did not show it and asked back carefully.
“May I ask your plan?”
-You’re cocky.
“It’s because it’s easier to proceed if I know what I’m doing.”
-…….
There was no answer from the earphones for a while, probably because he was thinking about it.
-I plan to turn their eyes away.
It was a short answer, but An Jun was able to guess a lot of information from it.
‘I mean, increase the number of spies inside WHA within one month. If you look at the fact that it is to divert attention, it means that they plan to use those spies soon…’
At that moment, An Jun, who had one word in his mind, asked cautiously.
“Is it terrorism from within?”
-…Don’t make hasty guesses with your dull mind. one month. All you have to do is increase the number of believers in it as much as possible.
If it had been before he entered WHA, Anjun would have followed the instructions without any doubt.
Why did you do that?
‘…I too have been brainwashed until now.’
The moment Anjun realized that fact, he looked dejected.
Until now, I had only believed that I was brainwashing and manipulating others, but this was the first time that I had thought of myself as being brainwashed.
-Ahn Jun. Remember who has shown you favor.
“…I remember.”
An Jun barely answered. The voice behind the earphones softly recited a prayer.
-Everything for Him.
“Everything for Him.”
-I will contact you again.
Crackling!
The earphones were damaged due to an internal short circuit, and communication with the other party was completely cut off.
“…….”
After breaking the broken earphones and throwing them away, An Jun left the meeting place and walked through the dirty back alleys.
The boy went out onto the main street and crossed the intercity gate.
After a while, the place he arrived was an island in the South Pacific that was famous as a resort.
-Take care of the homeless on your way back.
The reason Anjun came here.
It was to meet the homeless man who was acting as his alibi.
“…You are here.”
The man disguised as Anjun was stretched out on the sunbed.
“uh. “Are you here?”
The man lifted his sunglasses and looked at An Jun.
He was a landlord.
***
“We have identified the location of the person who contacted An Jun. “We immediately set up surveillance and are continuing to follow him.”
The great man nodded slightly at Baek Young-hee’s report. His eyes were fixed on the large monitor in front.
A figure wearing a deep black hood was moving into a back alley, avoiding the camera.
As if conscious of being followed, it periodically checked its surroundings and disappeared through the gate.
“What are the coordinates of the moved gate?”
“I understand. “We are currently tracking it and requesting cooperation from the relevant level.”
“great job.”
The great man breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing the trustworthy report of Baek Young-hee.
He turned his head and looked at Lilith.
“how is it? “Do you know this guy?”
Lilith stared at the screen and shook her head.
“Looking at it this way, I don’t know. “He looks like one of the priests.”
“Disciple. What are you worried about? “Wouldn’t it be better to catch him directly and ask him about it?”
Cheon Mu-geuk tilted his head as if he didn’t quite understand the situation.
If you find the enemy’s liaison, shouldn’t you capture him right away and use torture or whatever to get the information?
“For a guy in that position, torture won’t work.”
Daein narrowed his eyebrows, remembering the Red Finger commander he met last time.
“I caught one last time and interrogated him, but his soul was completely controlled, so torture and threats didn’t work at all.”
“that’s right. “If you touch it now, you’ll only make them more alert.”
Lilith also agreed with what Daein said. She looked around at the people gathered there.
Baek Chang-soo, Baek Young-hee, Cheon Mu-geuk, Abraxas Wang Gu-ho, and even little Lily. Everyone was gathered in their seats with serious expressions.
“They are experts at cutting tails. “If you touch it clumsily and lose it again, you never know when you’ll be able to find it again.”
If she had been able to find and destroy it easily, she wouldn’t have crossed the parallel universe and come here.
“So you’re just going to follow me and watch? “They might commit a terrorist attack on the WHA soon?”
Baek Chang-soo said with a disapproving expression.
He was a superhuman who wouldn’t even blink if a terrorist attack was directed at him, but if it was a threat to his students, he didn’t want to create even the slightest possibility.
“There must be a way.”
Lilith frowned, lost in thought for a moment, and then opened her mouth again.
“…They told An Jun to spread the word and increase the number of believers. That means we will be accepting new believers. Then…”
“Let’s infiltrate the main camp over there?”
Lilith nodded at what Daein said.
“that’s right. As far as I know, if you become a Red Finger believer, you will receive baptism. “At that time, I can make contact with the inside of the organization.”
“Cluck. “If that’s the case, I’ll be there.”
Abraxas pressed Cheon Mu-geuk’s shoulder from the side as he confidently tried to stand up.
“You’re missing out.”
“no? “Why are you telling me to leave?”
Abraxas looked at Cheonmugeuk with the eyes of a lovely but foolish puppy.
She comforted him by stroking Cheonmugeuk’s lion-like hair.
“Do you really think being a spy is suited for you? “It would be nice if that personality doesn’t destroy everything.”
“A risk! I can act as cautiously as I want if I want to…”
“Don’t do anything that doesn’t suit you. You deserve to run wild like an animal. “On the battlefield or in bed.”
Cheonmugeuk’s face turned red at Abraxas’ mischievous prank.
“Keuhumhum! Those kids hear it too…”
“You two should go somewhere else to pursue your love affair.”
Daein, who had stopped the two of them from acting like a chicken, looked back at Lilith and said.
“What if I go there myself?”
Daein’s [Stealth] and [Energy Manipulation] characteristics were optimized for infiltrating enemy lines.
But Lilith shook her head.
“Not only you, but everyone here can’t do it. It’s not because I don’t believe in my abilities. To enter their base, you have to go through dozens of verification procedures. It is basic to check the amount of magic power in the body, and we will also check whether the brainwashing was done properly. Disguising using magic or artifacts is also impossible. “If there is anything strange about the investigation process, they never take believers to their base.”
“…….”
If Lilith, who had been tracking Redfinger so far, said this, it was impossible for those here to infiltrate.
“You need the right bait. “If it’s too small, they won’t be interested, and if it’s too big, they won’t bite.”
“It’s a suitable bait…”
Daein looked around the conference room to find suitable people, but all of them were too big.
The same goes for names that are not here but come to mind.
‘It’s a problem if your friends are too popular. How can there not be a single ordinary guy?’
Okay.
The great man sighed and spoke to everyone.
“I need to look further. “There’s no one in particular that comes to mind…”
“Ah! “I know someone like that!”
Lily, who had been quiet and oblivious to the adults throughout the meeting, raised her hand.
I didn’t have much faith, but the master told me to talk and see if he would listen.
“who?”
“Mr. So!”
“…Shinhan?”
Daein was a completely unexpected name, but when that name came out, everyone nodded as if it was plausible.
“Hoo. “I think it’ll be okay?”
“I am currently a student at WHA, so I will be able to naturally contact Anjun.”
“Cluck. You mean my student’s student? “It seems like it’s become quite useful these days.”
“He is the unofficial successor to the landlord… I agree.”
Daein was rather embarrassed by everyone’s positive reaction.
“That’s because he’s not my student.”
“Anyone can see that he is the Vice President’s disciple.”
Baek Young-hee, laughing, displayed So Shin-han’s profile on the monitor.
Soshinhan’s characteristics, personality, and operational performance capabilities evaluated by WH Group were revealed in full.
“When did you analyze it to that extent?”
“I’m a student at WHA. Moreover, I am the Vice President’s only successor.”
“I heard you’re the only employee…”
“Hmm.”
Lilith said after looking at the data, stroking her chin with her finger.
“I think a few more training sessions will be enough. “My current abilities are neither too high nor too low, and since I am an orphan and have a trusting nature, it would be easy for me to fall into religion or be brainwashed.”
“…The evaluation is harsh. “But he’s a senior at work.”
“What do you think, uncle?”
Lilith turned her head and looked at Daein. Not only her, but everyone’s eyes turned to Daein.
As long as people allow it, the operation will begin immediately.
The great man crossed his arms, thought for a moment, and then nodded.
“Well… I don’t think it’s bad.”
Although I was not his student, I trained him hard for several months.
It was a car I was thinking about giving it some real-world experience.
Of course, he is not a disciple.
“I’ll tell you when I get to work tomorrow.”
That night, Soshinhan was held down by an unknown pair of scissors and ended up being late the next day.
