《Descent of the Demon God》Chapter 21: Unexpected News (2)
Advertisement
Chun Yeowun seemed pissed.
As a result, everyone in the office was extremely attentive.
The president was restless.
When Ho Jeong stole the terminal, which could detonate the nano bombs, he, too, wanted to run away.
‘Damn it. Damn it. Damn it. Damn it….’
But Ho Jeong was killed.
As a result, there was nothing but the fear of death running through his mind.
It was a pity to see his sweaty face.
‘He must be really scared.’
Geum Jong-so bit his tongue as if he was the president.
They were completely broken.
It was the same with Jo Yu-seong, who was kneeling in the corner with a pale face.
‘He, he… showed it to us on purpose.’
Geum Jong-so was sure.
From the beginning, he was puzzled by the fact that no matter how strong the man was, he wasn’t blocking their blood points.
Even if the nano bombs were there, there were chances to run.
Because variables can occur.
‘It wasn’t that Ho Jeong got the detonator, nor did he seize the opportunity. The man just gave it to him.’
The device couldn’t be just taken away from such a monster.
If one thought about it, it was strange to leave such an important object on the sofa’s armrest.
And with that, everyone found out.
The fact that the nano bombs could be detonated without the terminal.
‘What the hell?’
It wasn’t sure what he did, but now this monster could detonate the nano bombs without the terminal.
And with that, their reality looked even worse.
Starting with the company’s CCTV, the security guards, the director who is a Superior Master, and the hidden safe with three levels of security, that terminal couldn’t be stolen no matter how many times Geum Jong-so thought.
‘A monster that crushes everything with overwhelming force.’
That monster had control of the nano bombs.
The Public Security Bureau ended up putting his life in the hands of an unknown person.
Geum Jong-so’s mind was messed up.
‘Now, there are two ways.’
The Public Security technical team finds a way to disarm the bomb.
Or that monster in front of him disarms it.
The former was the safest method, but
‘Will they really do that?’
The Public Security Bureau doesn’t want the public to learn that they’ve planted spies in companies out of fear of garnering a bad reputation.
That was the reason why they used him and not some official person of their bureau.
It wouldn’t be strange if they abandoned him.
‘… should I try making a deal with that man even if the risks are high?’
He looked at Chun Yeowun, who sat at Yun Mun-pyeong’s desk and stared at the monitor.
He was afraid of making a bad impression.
‘Sigh… he doesn’t have a bad face unlike Ho Jeong, but I’m terrified.’
When he looked at Chun Yeowun, it was like an overwhelming force was being pushed onto him.
If he did nothing, his life could be in jeopardy.
‘Should I give up and trust the Public Security Bureau… no, rather than trusting them, I’ll work something out.’
Geum Jong-so, who was worried, decided.
The situation was a mess.
It would be better to bet everything on this.
‘Looking at his reaction… I might be able to give him information and strike a deal.’

Geum Jong-so’s eyes shone as they looked at Chun Yeowun.
On the other hand, Chun Yeowun was intently looking at the monitor.
A lot of information was displayed.
[Simyang Daily, 2043. 07. 14
Black Sky Company, one of China’s three largest enterprises, collapses.
After Chairman Chun Hyun-seong was arrested last year, the company’s stock prices plunged to the bottom, and the executives of the Black Sky Company announced the dissolution of the company at noon today, through their shareholders’ meeting.
63 affiliates are already in the process of dismantling and merging, and the Chinese government expects this situation to cause serious economic turbulence….]
This article was from 26 years ago.
In addition to that, several articles were reported as hot topics.
Most of the articles said that the company’s image was damaged, and its stock price plummeted after the chairman’s arrest.
‘It doesn’t make sense.’
The company disbanded after the chairman was sentenced to life in prison.
It was too fast.
Chun Yeowun, who simply received the information, didn’t think it made sense.
‘Something is odd.’
The information seemed too fake.
It was like something related to Murim had happened.
A clear example was the next article.
[2043. 07. 25
Founding of the State Council’s Murim Department.
Prime Minister Dang Ji-san, who announced the establishment of the new Murim…
… the first year’s goal is to have more than 60% of Murim people register with the department.]
About ten days after the Black Sky Company was disbanded, the registration of Murim started.
This was the point where the line between the government and Murim was erased.
Chun Yeowun thought that it wasn’t a mere coincidence.
‘This is enough.’
He needed more information, but it was 26 years ago, and many things were missing.
According to Nano, a lot of important data was deleted.
“Sigh.”
A sigh.
Yun Mun-pyeong wanted to know what was happening, but he couldn’t ask.
He only knew about the current rival groups of the Blade Six.
There was a limit to how much information he could get from his position.
‘Useless bastard.’
Chun Yeowun looked at him.
Maybe he felt the eyes on him, Yun Mun-pyeong trembled.
Chun Yeowun rested his chin on his hand as he thought.
‘Even if it’s a different time axis, the cult collapsed too easily. I just can’t understand.’
As the 2nd Chun Ma and the Lord, he couldn’t admit it.
If it was the Sky Demon Order he knew, it couldn’t fall to threats and crises.
He never imagined how easy it would be for it to break up.
‘… there is only one answer.’
If the Sky Demon Order was in danger and disappeared, there was one thing he had to do.
‘Find them!’
After reading the data for nearly two hours, Chun Yeowun grasped the situation and got up as he organized his thoughts.
Everyone in the office stared at him.
That was when he called.
“Yun Mun-pyeong.”
“Y-Yes! Senior!”
He answered right away.
For two hours, he was worried about what would happen to him.
But now, Chun Yeowun said something unexpected.
“Didn’t you say that you have a position where you can talk with your superiors?”
“Y-Yes.”
“Great. Then let the head office know that you hired the new one without any problems.”

“Sorry?”
“Did you not understand what I said?”
As Chun Yeowun asked with his eyebrows raised, Yun Mun-pyeong shook his head.
“Ah-no! I will bury what happened here and make sure that it doesn’t leak out!”
Chun Yeowun nodded at that answer.
Chun Yeowun was going to cover this situation up so that the Blade Six wouldn’t notice it.
“You understand too?”
“Yes!”
Even the president answered in the same way.
He answered, but he couldn’t erase his displeasure.
‘… I’m the president, so why is he acting like my superior?’
He was still annoyed with Yun Mun-pyeong.
No matter what he felt, Chun Yeowun would go ahead with his plan.
And now, Chun Yeowun intends to use the Blade Six and find traces of the Sky Demon Order.
‘They don’t know of my existence. If they do, I will completely destroy them this time.’
Everything is still unclear for now.
However, the disappearance of his cult was certainly not a natural occurrence.
He wasn’t heartbroken, just determined.
‘If I use this one properly, it will be worthwhile.’
Chun Yeowun thought that as he looked at Yun Mun-pyeong.
The position he held could be used in many ways.
Chun Yeowun planned on using him till the end.
As if he instinctively read something in Chun Yeowun’s eyes, Yun Mun-pyeong couldn’t hide his anxiety.
Crackle!
Chun Yeowun pulled something out of his sleeve.
A paper from the Blade Six.
As a result of the requested investigation, the probability of a spy is 80%. Team 7 should be removed.
Secure the 3rd team leader of the violent crimes squad, Moyong Lee Myeong.
From February 23rd to 24th, Gate 26 warning is scheduled. Be sure to destroy the confidential internal data.
Reviewing the report on the operation to assassinate the executive director of the Yeon Company, which was taken to the upper level. Payment is due before Gate Warning 26.
The directive to be followed.
Chun Yeowun noticed two things.
He didn’t pay attention to it before, but it seemed like the Moyong family was involved.
‘Good.’
If not, he would have had to search other places for information.
If the descendants of the Moyong clan were there, then they might have different information.
It was written to secure someone of the Moyong clan.
‘Violent crimes, huh.’
Chun Yeowun called the name of the man who was obedient to him.
“Yun Mun-pyeong.”
“Yes! Senior.”
“I need the best attire and Human Skin Mask of this era.”
“Yes?”
The director frowned.
It was strange to call it this era.
But he couldn’t understand what a skin mask was.
“I… what is a skin mask, senior?”
Human Skin Mask.
It refers to a face mask made from human skin or a specific animal to disguise someone as another person.
When he was in Murim, it was beneficial to Chun Yeowun.
Chun Yeowun decided that he would need it to change his appearance because of the Public Security Bureau.
“You don’t know what a Human Skin Mask is?”
That was when someone intervened.
“Are you talking about something like cotton wool that you can put on your face?”
It was Geum Jong-so.
Yun Mun-pyeong nodded his head at those words.
Chun Yeowun roughly understood it.
“I want one…”
“That! Director. There’s an expert that I know. Can I guide you?”
Geum Jong-so intervened.
This was a good opportunity for him.
‘This is great. I was trying to create an opportunity.’
The director looked at Geum Jong-so with narrowed eyes.
He knew that this kid was a spy of the Public Security Bureau as it was in the orders and information given on the paper in the safe.
He tried to warn him.
[That, senior. That one is…]
[I know.]
[Ah…]
Of course, Chun Yeowun had looked at the paper too; there was no way he wouldn’t know.
But Chun Yeowun didn’t care.
He was planning on using Public Security to some extent too.
[It doesn’t matter. I can take care of it myself. Don’t worry about it.]
[I-I understand.]
Yun Mun-pyeong nodded his head and backed off.
And Chun Yeowun said to the young one.
“Guide me.”
“Yes! I will guide you right away!”
Excited, Geum Jong-so tried to guide him outside.
He was already under suspicion, so he had to rush out.
It was then.
“Wait!”
Yun Mun-pyeong stopped him.
‘Damn it!’
Geum Jong-so stopped with a frown.
It seemed like this wasn’t going to be easy.
His heart was pounding.
“What?”
Chun Yeowun, who was following Geum Jong-so, asked when Yun Mun-pyeong pulled out a business card and said.
“Please accept this.”
“Huh?”
“This is the corporate card. If you get tailored clothes and cut your hair, you might need this. You can use it as much as you want.”
Yun Mun-pyeong was trying to please Chun Yeowun.
‘Sigh…’
Geum Jong-so, who was nervous, sighed.
He was glad.
He was worried that someone else would tell Chun Yeowun the truth, so he quickly guided them out of the building as soon as possible.
Outside, a few blocks away, the RV of the dead Ho Jeong was parked.
‘I’m good at driving.’
If he wasn’t good at driving, he wouldn’t have held the key, then the key would have been destroyed when Ho Jeong burnt.
Like a secretary, he opened the door for Chun Yeowun and then got into the driver’s seat.
He needed to head to a place where he could have a conversation with Chun Yeowun.
Sssh!
Geum Jong-so moved towards the northern outskirts.
He knew a place where neither the bureau nor the company would find him.
After driving for about 30 minutes, Chun Yeowun, who was in the back seat, opened his mouth, seeing that the place had no buildings and very few people.
“How far are we going to talk?”
‘!?’
Geum Jong-so looked at Chun Yeowun through the mirror.
He didn’t think that Chun Yeowun would recognize his intentions.
‘… he is good at catching stuff.’
He looked around.
The place he was currently at had electric poles and very few people.
‘This should be enough.’
Kick!
He stopped the car on the side of the road.
Geum Jong-so turned his head, to tell the truth, thinking that Chun Yeowun would let him off.
“I apologize. I should have told you in advance…”
It was then.
Woong!
“This!”
A black RV was seen rushing towards them at great speed through the rear window.
No matter who looked at it, it seemed like they intended to hit this car.
It was too late to start the car and step on the gas.
So Geum Jong-so shouted.
“Y-You need to get out right no…”
“Such a hassle.”
At that time, Chun Yeowun swung his hand back and pushed something sideways.
Bang! Woong!
At that moment, the black RV that was about to hit them turned over and crashed.

Thief of Time
[Participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Book 1: The Legend of Tot Synopsis: Claud Primus, a self-declared master thief, has a simple goal. To live forever. It's a rather easy task, for miraculous objects called lifestones are able to extend one's lifespan. These lifestones are best found in the treasuries of nobles, lovely resorts that Claud pays a visit to every so often. Unfortunately, one of those nightly visits go awry, and Claud is forced to escape with just a single lifestone and a box in hand. Normally, that's when things die down. The guards yawn, the gates close, and the night continues. But this time, the night isn't that forgiving. A dozen schemes result in the murder of someone important, and with a convenient scapegoat — Claud — at hand, it doesn't take long for him to be framed as a heinous criminal, wanted for the indirect murder of someone high up...and it just gets worse from there. Book 2: The Moon Lords' Rise Synopsis: As ordered chaos sweeps across Licencia, Claud leaves for Julan Barony, intent on making some profits there. Accompanied by the erstwhile heiress of Julan, a fellow member of the Moon Lords, the two plot against the barony's wealth...as well as a promise to bring about its downfall. Meanwhile, back home, the Moon Lords have busied themselves with digesting their gains. Eyes, however, are beginning to turn to this proverbial fish in a small pond. The fishermen are coming. When they cast their hook, what will Dia and the others do? Book 3: Murders under the Moons Synopsis: In the sleepy town of Nachtville, where Claud and Lily are forced to stop at, a set of nasty murders occurs. Victims scream out in fright, before a spear falls from the sky to end their suffering. Cowed and cautious, the master thief and his partner slink in the shadows, their objective that of home... A new task, however, has fallen on Dia. With a trusty helper at her side, she has to set off towards Nachtville itself, to solve the mystery Claud had abandoned. Faced with an enemy whose sole skillset is geared towards killing, how will they succeed? And what dark secrets will they find? Book 4: In the Dark of the Moons Synopsis: The year has ended. The four months of the full moons will soon be followed by two months of the new moons. Duke Istrel's ascension is around the corner. Amidst this political upheaval, Count Nightfall, Licencia's strongest defender, has been called away. The Moon Lords' largest task yet — to protect Licencia in the absence of its ruler — has begun. And yet, trouble is unrelenting. A distinguished personage, one that Claud fears, has been found dead in the county, his brains dug out and his body disemboweled. The inquisitors of the White Church have been dispatched to investigate and apprehend the murderer...as well as the person behind this puppet. Tormented by a call to fight, Claud directs his eyes out of the city, looking for the puppetmaster. Skulking in the shadows, the master thief will soon confront his greatest foe yet. A foe just like him. Book 5: Moonlit Tides and Darkened Seas Synopsis: A new era has begun. For the privileged, the sands of time dribble away for every passing moment, counting down to the arrival of a entity of mythical proportions. The night now harbours shadows and fog, and operatives of the Moons and the Dark clash in shadow. Claud, as usual, is investigating a spate of nasty disappearances in the city, but little does he know what these disappearances truly mean. And yet, a tide is coming. When it finally breaks, what will he do? Book 6: Secrets in Shadow Synopsis: The person behind a strike that would enter the annals of history flees his home, bringing with him the person closest to his heart into a new land and into a new world. Having left Istrel for the first time in his life, the two of them attempt to settle down in foreign lands, only to be caught in the middle of hostilities between two mighty powers grappling for dominion. Yet, none of that has anything to do with him. Following his desires, Claud eventually makes his way to the fabled Celestia Ruins, a fragment of another world. Bearing witness to truths he cannot yet comprehend, he returns from his exploration, a small break away from the machinations of destiny. One thing, however, is for certain. Destiny will not wait for him. Book 7: Reddest Rage Synopsis: Destiny churns on, heedless of mortal machinations, and Claud watches as the battlegrounds between the Moons and the Dark are drawn up. With the forces of the great Dark occupying Lostfon, Claud comes to a startling realisation — that he may have very well be a murderer of heinous proportions. Grappling with that realisation, he struggles to prepare for his Second Tutorial... Back in Istrel, Dia finds herself confronted with a perennial truth. Even in a time of writhing destiny, the machinations between nobles never cease to end — and unfortunately for her, the group once known as the Moon Lords are forced into dealing with a petty squabble between two counts. What they didn't account for, however, was the startling discovery they would soon make... And the shadow of the Red God's Holy Son behind it all. Book 8: Darkness Descends Synopsis: Nightmares haunt the horizon as Claud sinks and awakens from a seeming dream. What was once illusory begins to play out before him, in a way he cannot imagine. Dia, forced to wield arms, begins and ends a battle that opens her eyes to the vast dangers that lurk in this sundered world. Under the banner of humanity and divinity, she beholds the silent, forgotten protectors of Orb...but there is no forgetting the battle between the divinities. The Dark descends, the Moons writhe, and the horns of war blow once more. But this is not their battle. Not yet. Book 9: Moons Muster Synopsis: As more and more events fall into place, Claud finds himself desperate. Not for himself, but for the person who has turned into his world. Armed with the knowledge of a certain future, he approaches the only person that could possibly help him in his time of need, trading information for a promise of help. With that as solace, he returns to the grim task of understanding and seeking, revisiting an ancient, shattered fragment of another world...unleashing changes that he never knew was possible. Back in Istrel, Dia and the others must now navigate around a familiar spirit, who seeks to investigate the death of his master's Bearer. With them as prime suspects, the Seekers of Life must move carefully...but the Coloured Gods are not the only divinities eyeing them closely. The Moons, bristling from repeated defeats, are looking for new recruits, and the Seekers of Life are prime cannon fodder. Above all, destiny marches on, the unfeeling clock a warning to all. The Trial of Aeons will soon arrive. Book 10: Destiny Divine Synopsis: ??? Release frequency: one every few days or something, I guess. (This work is also being serialised on Webnovel under the name Revile as a trial run)
