The Dungeon Cleaning Life of a Once Genius Hunter - Chapter 350

351. Side Story After Episode 8
A detention center located in Seoul.
There, I met Choi Jang-seok, who was awaiting trial, and explained my future plans.
OK.
bang-!
When he got up, the chair fell over with a loud noise.
“What…?”
Choi Jang-seok’s voice trembled.
I slowly spoke again.
“There is a way to save Mirae Choi.”
“What is that… how? The doctor said it wouldn’t be possible even with healing skills…”
“Healing skills are only a temporary measure and cannot be a fundamental treatment. Of course it is medically impossible. However, it is possible if we utilize Mirae Choi’s abilities.”
“….”
His expression became complicated.
He looked like he had no idea how to accept this sudden story or what to say.
I spoke first because I completely understood his feelings.
“It is difficult to explain in detail here, but roughly speaking, we plan to interfere with other skills through the runaway state.”
“What about other skills…?”
“These are skills that enable self-healing. “We will try everything possible, including skills to return one’s physical condition to its previous state and skills to restore the body in real time.”
He saved his answer.
Well, even if I say this, it would be natural for an ordinary person to not understand it at all.
“Well, you just need to know the contents for now. “I will send you the details in a document.”
He added that, but Choi Jang-seok asked as if he was not interested in such things.
“Is the future… alright?”
“Are you asking if it’s okay…?”
“If the future has to suffer more because of a slim possibility… I don’t want to do that.”
I crossed my arms and nodded.
“well. I’m not sure how Mr. Future will be affected. “We have done enough research, but this is our first clinical trial.”
“…what. what?! This is my first time! Doesn’t that mean you’re going to use the future as an experiment?!”
“Experiment is something we only use when we have no way of predicting what the results will be.”
I leaned my upper body forward and looked into his eyes.
“Of course, we cannot guarantee 100%. However, internally, we are expecting a result of at least 75%… up to 88%.”
“Then the remaining 12 percent….”
“It’s a variable.”
I answered immediately.
“No… I think it would be more correct to see it as Mirae’s will. “The ability to withstand the runaway state is purely due to the caster’s strong mental strength.”
“….”
“Of course, I didn’t come to give notice. “I came here to ask for opinions and seek consent.”
I handed him a thick stack of documents.
It was a document containing all necessary information, including consent for surgery, consent for use of personal information, and consent for interference with abilities.
“If you read it carefully and agree to the contents, we will proceed immediately. Of course, it’s okay if you don’t agree. “It is purely Choi Jang-seok’s choice.”
“….”
He remained silent and looked at the documents quietly.
And then…
“I… what can I do?”
I asked a question I couldn’t understand.
“The fact that you’re doing this means you want something from me…”
“Don’t be mistaken. “What can I gain from Choi Jang-seok?”
“Then why…?”
“We are preparing a new business in response to this incident. Mirae’s work is just the beginning.”
“Tell me so I can understand.”
I let out a small sigh.
This was because I had no idea where to start explaining.
We cannot even dare to predict what problems will arise if we reveal all of our business details to outsiders.
Above all, if Lee Ah-young finds out, she won’t let you go.
But…
‘Tsk, I don’t know…’
Yeah.
Shouldn’t this man at least know?
“WDSO’s ultimate goal is to liberate the world from the supernatural phenomenon that has persisted for 50 years.”
Choi Jang-seok blinked at the sudden story.
I didn’t care and continued talking.
“Of course, there are still many difficulties. In some places, if the subjugated industry disappears immediately, it will lead to national bankruptcy. At least 5 years… maybe longer. Actually, there is no problem up to that point. “We can wait long enough and are preparing thoroughly.”
“however?”
“The only thing is that citizens think differently.”
I said, folding my hands lightly.
“Citizens are always anxious. “I think that we, who have bank items, can suddenly one day become like the International Association of the past.”
“Then why are civic groups and non-profit organizations continuing to protest these days?…”
“That’s right. In fact, this applies not only to its citizens but also to other countries. They also think that we can apply diplomatic pressure at any time using the subjugation industry as an excuse.”
I took a deep breath out of frustration.
“In this state, there is no guarantee that we will be able to await liberation without any problems. “If unrest continues, opposing forces will be created and the state will attempt to establish another organization to keep us in check.”
“….”
“If the international community is divided again… this phenomenon will never end.”
As I finished speaking, I looked at Choi Jang-seok.
One time he, who had been listening in silence, glanced at me.
“So what you’re saying is… that in order to end this phenomenon, we need to gain the trust of the international community and citizens in WDSO?”
“yes.”
“Is the new business you mentioned the way to do that?”
“That’s right. As I mentioned, the project can be viewed as an attempt to solve diseases that are difficult to overcome with modern medicine through this ability.”
“….”
“And Choi Jang-seok’s daughter Choi Mirae was selected as the first recipient of this project.”
“…Right.”
He nodded his head slowly.
And then.
“…Thank you. sincerely.”
He lowered his head towards me.
“Thank you. Officially, I did not help Choi Jang-seok. As you know, Mr. Choi Jang-seok has nothing to do with our business. So for now, just think about paying for your sins.”
“No problem! That’s nothing. “It could last a lifetime.”
“…That’s a bit troublesome.”
I smiled.
“When Mirae gets a job on the operations team, there has to be someone to congratulate her.”
“….”
Choi Jang-seok also followed me with a small smile.
“Then I’ll just go. “I hope your trial goes well… I don’t think there will be a good outcome, but I hope you do well.”
With those words, I stood up first.
That was when I was about to leave the visiting room.
“But that business.”
Choi Jang-seok turned to my back and opened his mouth again.
“What is its name?”
“….”
Instead of answering, I smiled and left the detention center.
***
“WDSO Korea Association and Hanbyeol Group have joined hands once again.”
Entrance to Kiseok University Hospital.
“Many people are looking forward to the extraordinary medical project they introduced through the Geumbit Foundation under Hanbyul Group to help treat rare diseases and diseases that are difficult to overcome.”
“Kiseok University Hospital, where Choi Mirae, who was selected as the first patient, is hospitalized, is currently crowded with reporters, citizens, and medical personnel to observe the surgical procedure.”
“It is also known that all top officials from various fields attended, including President Cho Hyun-min, WDSO Secretary General Kim Jun-woo, and Korea Association President Lee A-young.”
“Surgery is scheduled to begin in the next 30 minutes.”
“We will deliver any new news as soon as we hear it.”
Dozens of reporters and reporters were competing in front of each camera to report on this hot issue.
“Ugh….”
Thanks to that, I was completely exhausted from being bombarded with countless microphones.
After putting off all requests for interviews until after the surgery, I was finally able to enter the hospital.
As I entered, the people who had arrived first welcomed me.
As for the list…
“You always surprise me. “I haven’t heard of anyone preparing for a business like this.”
“I thought it would be better to keep it a secret until we were fully prepared.”
“Haha, that’s a wise decision.”
President Cho Hyun-min.
“Anyway, I looked into it before. They say it’s the best thing in the world to do. “Cluck, click, click.”
“long time no see. “Are you healthy?”
“No problem.”
Ha Deok-soo, honorary chairman of Hanbyul Group.
and.
“Secretary General! “Are you here?”
“You came early.”
“It came four hours ago. “I don’t have the confidence to get through that crowd.”
Ha Seong-il was the chairman of Hanbyul Group.
“I never thought it would be a business like this.”
“Well, it won’t make you any money, but considering the company’s image, it won’t be that bad.”
“I would have done it even if it wasn’t necessarily like that. “If I had refused, my grandfather wouldn’t have left me alone.”
“ha ha ha. “Your personality is still the same.”
As I said that and looked at Honorary Chairman Ha Deok-soo, he burst into laughter.
In addition to them, I was having a conversation with people who had gathered to watch the surgery one by one.
“You’re here.”
A familiar voice was heard.
At the same time, I smiled involuntarily.
“Thank you for inviting me, but… is it okay for me to come?”
“What wouldn’t work? Still, he is the association president’s closest confidant.”
“under!”
Lee A-young, the father of the association president.
Former Director Lee Du-sik.
Of course, we have had many occasions to meet in private over the past year, but seeing it like this made me feel awkward again.
It was a time when Director Lee Doo-sik was also in a similar situation.
“came?”
Association President Lee A-young appeared at the right time.
“Still, I managed to get in. “I thought it would take an hour from the entrance.”
“I had a bit of trouble getting it through. “It’s a lot.”
“Who told you to make as much money as possible?”
“That’s how we can attract attention.”
When I said that, Association President Lee Ah-young smiled.
“Aren’t you trying to divert attention from Choi Jang-seok?”
“Well… it goes both ways.”
I also smiled along with her.
And then.
“I’m done with the dating, and now I’m going to start slowly, so please follow me quickly.”
Director Chloe approached us with a very uncomfortable expression.
“How are the preparations going?”
“The Lee Neung-seok amplifier has been installed and we are currently checking the wavelength controller…”
“All we need to know is whether it is working well or not.”
“If you wouldn’t know even if I told you, why did you ask?”
“….”
Let’s wait.
There are many eyes to see.
“Well, the medical staff and technical staff are all ready for the briefing now, so go to the conference room and listen to the details. “There are only 10 minutes left until the surgery starts, so we need to proceed as quickly as possible.”
“All right.”
Lee Ah-young and I quickly walked after Chloe.
Eventually we arrived at the conference room.
There were medical staff and support technicians who continued to simulate the situation right before the surgery.
A tense atmosphere.
However, in that place where everyone was so sincerely gathered, I looked at them and spoke first.
“Please be kind to me.”
A project to overcome incurable diseases using bank items.
It was the moment of taking the first step in the Mirae Dream medical business.
***
“Me?”
WDSO Headquarters Office of the Secretary.
Secretary Shin Soo-ji relayed a quite strange story.
“yes.”
“Right now?”
“yes. Manager Min Hee-sook really asked me to…”
“Why, why suddenly… Or rather, can I go? “If you look at it strictly, I’m not even a member of the Korean Association.”
“Sure.”
Secretary Shin Soo-ji answered immediately as if there was no need to say it twice.
A reaction that is bound to be embarrassing.
Since I couldn’t understand what he was saying, I tried to argue with him again.
“Forgetting everything else, is there a schedule? “Isn’t there a headquarters meeting this afternoon in preparation for the international subjugation conference?”
“Ah… that has been postponed.”
“…?”
What does that mean?
“Who postponed that? “I have the authority to convene a meeting.”
“….”
Secretary Shin Soo-ji asked harshly, but for some reason, Secretary Shin Soo-ji kept her mouth shut.
And then…
“Anyway, I don’t have anything special planned today.”
“….”
He honestly said only what he wanted to say.
“…I understand.”
Even for me, this sudden situation was very scary, but what can I do if it ends up like that?
In the end, I couldn’t resist her request and got up.
I left the office and went straight to the operation headquarters.
As expected, many people had gathered at the place we eventually arrived at.
Everyone looks nervous.
I left them behind and entered the office first.
“Ah, are you here?”
“Please sit here.”
A place where personnel from each department, including Manager Min Hee-sook, are located.
And in the midst of it all….
“It came at just the right time. “I was wondering if I should start first.”
“Why are you here again?”
Association President Lee A-young was sitting.
The informal language that came out without me realizing it was a very embarrassing sight.
Then Association President Lee Ah-young looked at me and said,
“I don’t know either. “Because I was called in urgently.”
“….”
Not only is the president of the association called, but they are also calling the secretary general?
How important is this?
Those questions kept lingering in my mind, but I couldn’t go out.
I sat down with a shocked expression.
At the same time, Manager Min Hee-sook, who was next to him, gestured to the employee in front of him.
“Then let us begin. “Please call the applicants by their names.”
“yes.”
Soon the employee left the office.
“We will begin interviewing applicants 1 through 3.”
With those words, three people entered the interview room.
The moment when applicants are seated in order.
“….”
“….”
Lee Ah-young and I were frozen and speechless.
Manager Min Hee-sook once took a peek at us like that.
“Please briefly introduce yourself in order.”
He spoke to the applicants with a smile on his face.
“Hello. I applied for the opening recruitment for the first half of the Seoul Headquarters Operations Team…”
The moment she opened her mouth, an emotion I had never felt before rose from deep inside.
