"Aaaahhh!!!"
Gu Jin-cheol wakes up screaming.
"Are you conscious now?"
"Aaaaaaaaa!!"
The screaming continues. Oh my, what a mess.
Since it wasn't that busy, I just let them scream some more. Did this fail?
[Keystone (Class A magic tool) - The waves emitted from this stone have a very surprising effect on the human mind.

'Obviously the judgment was successful?'
Fortunately, the bite came slowly.
"My hand! my feet! my head! Are you okay? Are you okay? uh? It was clear earlier... … ."
Gu Jin-cheol's complexion turned pale as he remembered what he had witnessed before.
"What did you mean earlier?"
"I-I was definitely eaten by a monster…" … Argh!! Hey! please! "Please save me, Kim Shin-hwa!"
"Ugh. So I told you not to do it, right? "Why don't you listen to people?"
"Forgive me! please! Please just kill me! Don't feed it to the monster! please!"
Tears, snot, and saliva flowing from Gu Jin-cheol's face. Ugh, please! You don't have to come any closer! I used my magic power to push Gu Jin-cheol away.
"Ugh, what do you feed me? "It seems like you can say that because you're trash in human form, but I'm a human, right?"
"yes? yes?"
Gu Jin-cheol looks around with a puzzled expression. Unlike before, he seemed to feel that the vastly expanded space was alien.
What the child of darkness ate was all the junk that was rolling around in this room. Although it prefers living things, it can also digest things like rocks and trees.
It is already daylight outside.
"Approximately a day has passed since the director was away."
For a moment, I recalled the message that came to my mind the moment the child of darkness was about to put Gu Jin-cheol in his mouth.
[Quest completed!
Reward: 450,000XP + Cheongho's trust + 300,000,000 won + bonus according to mission performance]
[You have gained enough experience and have reached the next level. The level increases by 1.]
[You have summoned a monster created by the being of the abyss. And it chose humans as its first prey. It's not a choice that anyone can make. This event will grow your soul into a great being. You will become one with the deeper and deeper abyss. Come closer. Just a little more, a little more, just a little more... … A chaotic future will be with you.]
From the beginning, I had no intention of feeding Gu Jin-cheol to the child of darkness.
In the meantime, I was upset to see a message like that appear, and I decided to act in a different direction from what the guy on the other side of the message window was thinking.
The child of darkness was fed furniture and stones scattered around the room and returned to sleep.
The child of darkness returned as an egg about 15 cm in size.
It is now in my arms. If you want, you can always revert back to the previous monster. Magical power... … .
[The Child of Darkness is not as gentle and obedient a pet as you might think. One day it will require something alive, something with blood, something with a soul. Even then, you don't know if you'll be able to stop it. You somehow foresee a terrible accident in the future and are overcome with unbearable anxiety.]
Ah, that bastard is persistent.
Yes, I'm asking for that, but I'm not at all anxious. In any case, magic power is something that overflows and overflows.
"Fuck off, man!"
The fumbling motion of his hand to clear the message window must have seemed quite threatening to Jincheol Koo.
He bowed his head again and said, 'Please help me! please!' He shouted something.
Chae Taewon, who was watching this scene from the side, spoke from afar.
"Are you okay?"
"yes? Ugh, I'm not crazy, so don't worry."
"Oh, no. "That's not what I thought."
Chae Taewon's stern expression turned red. It's a rare expression. Why do you react so violently? Ugh, I guess I really thought I was going crazy.
"Now, Director Koo Jin-cheol. Now raise your head and let's settle the bill."
"yes? yes? calculate? "Settlement?"
"Originally, I was going to do something about my life, but I won't go that far. "I have to keep what I promised."
"promise? "A promise?"
"Oh my, don't you remember? "This is the promise I made right before I put a bullet into the temple of the person I was serving, the daughter, a young minor, a girl."
I deliberately interrupted him and told him about his brave deeds.
Don't you remember what I said?
He said he would get beaten up a little, be humiliated a little, lose some of his wealth, lose his status, and lose the connections he had built up over the years.
I checked while Gu Jin-cheol was sleeping, and fortunately, there were many friends on Cheong-ho's side who were slightly injured and half-conscious and needed counseling and treatment for a while, but no one died.
Although the fence collapsed, the wall was broken, and the observatory, whether illegal or legal, was destroyed, Red Head's men and Fomalhaut's descendants ultimately failed to enter the inside of the fence.
But in any case, it is Cheongho's loss.
Now, outside the mansion, 'steel flies', that is, backroom experts active in the underworld of Paju, have greeted the main character. When I glanced out the window, I saw that a huge crane had been mobilized to remove the burning trailer. That must be a lot of money.
"Well, I don't really like sadistic things, but you have to pay the price anyway, right?"
In fact, before this, Chae Tae-won first asked me to hand over Gu Jin-cheol.
It often looks funny to me, but this is the mansion of one of the three heads of the Triad. These are experts who manage violence not only in Paju but throughout the central region.
If you leave it to Chae Tae-won, Koo Jin-cheol will be taken to the basement under the mansion, and after everything that needs to be taken out, he will sink somewhere in the Han River.
"Well, there's no need for that right now. First of all, there is more that a living director can do than a dead director."
Chae Taewon thought for a moment and then said.
"As it is, there are procedures that must be followed according to the customs of our industry."
Because you're a traitor. This means that we need torture for the sake of torture.
"But if Kim Shin-hwa took them away, everyone would think they had suffered something worse than death."
"It seems like there's some strange pseudonym."
"No, it's more than that. If it's okay, would you like to go out to the window for a moment?"
"yes?"
"Near the window."
I walked to the window, confused for a moment. In fact, there is nothing left that can be called a window. The window was broken once by Gu Jin-cheol, and he completely smashed it when I came in. So, let me stick my head into what could be considered a hole in the wall... … .
"Ahh! "It's a wizard!"
"Wizard! "Wizard!"
"Waaaaaa!!!"
"Kim Shinhwa! Shinhwa Kim!"
Ahh. What is that.
Outside, there are a huge number of thugs, gangsters, gangsters, bigots, big guys, and the like. These are members of the organization who were brought in to clean up and restore the surrounding area. As soon as those guys saw my face, they burst into huge cheers and cheers.
I turned my head again and went back inside the room.
"Kim Shinhwa! Shinhwa Kim! Kim Shin-hwa!"
Nevertheless, those idiot gangsters are chanting the three letters of my name with tremendous force.
When I turned my head and looked at Chae Taewon, he said with a subtle smile.
"Shinhwa will probably become a legend, no, Shinhwa, in our industry."
"Ugh, if possible, please try to prevent something like that from happening."
"Uhm… … that… … ."
Actually, that can't be possible. Because even when I wasn't helping them in the first place, they were selling my name arbitrarily. Oh, was it Tudor who sold my name? Well, how about it? Thanks to this, the value of the name continued to rise. Now, if I just leave it alone a little longer, I think I'll be in a state where I won't have to worry about trying to raise the value of my name anymore.
"Well, do whatever you want. Instead, I will take the director with me."
"All right. however… … What are you trying to do... … ?"
"First of all, you will give me some pocket money."
"I'll give it to you!"
huh?
"Uh, everything! If you tell me, you can take all my property! Mercy granted by the wizard! "I will remember it forever!"
"No, there's no need to go that far. But if you give it to me, then I'll take it all."
"thank you!"
It seems like something strange has been imprinted on it... … . Maybe if I ask him to do something even weirder, he'll just do it while crying with emotion.
"Anyway, branch manager, I have something more to ask of Director Koo Jin-cheol here… … ."
Koo Jin-cheol should be alive a little longer.
'Tsk.'
To find Cheong-ho, Gu Jin-cheol must be alive.
To be honest, it was partly because of that that I endured all this chaos at night and saved Gu Jin-cheol, who had committed all sorts of evil acts.
Well, even if that's not the case, there are many places to use it in future developments.
"I have some preparations to do right now, so I'll leave it to the branch manager for now. "I know this place has its own ways, but please keep your extremities as intact as possible."
"All right."
Just like that, Gu Jin-cheol was taken somewhere. Wooden Amitabha Buddha.
Chae Taewon will take care of the hard work. Actually, what good would there be in hitting a guy like that myself? It just makes me feel worse.
It's going to be busy here for a while too.
Anyway, it was roughly finished.
In fact, the reason he got involved in the conflict with the Red Head was because he also had the intention of establishing a settlement with the descendants of Fomalhaut.
The Beacon Order has completely collapsed and lost its judge-level elder, so we don't have to worry about these guys anymore.
'Well, because it's such a large denomination, it's not like there aren't elders of a similar level to the Chinese, but... … .'
There is no one who is as aggressive and has specialized skills in practical combat as the painter. The rest are mostly people who sell doctrine or have skills unrelated to combat.
Now, if you really mess with Helistic, you will be beaten and destroyed.
And red beans.
The red head is a bit of a pain.
This guy will be like this for a while.
I want to find Cheongho before Jeokdu reorganizes, tell him to take care of it, and then shake off his hands.
'Do you think you can rob it?'
If Cheongho has completely collapsed and cannot return, you will have a headache.
Should I just eat this whole tissue? I think I could eat it right away if I tried. There were over 300 businesses under Cheongho, right? The repayments pouring in every day... … .
Okay, that's it. The world will be destroyed anyway. What am I going to do with all that money?
Anyway, let's get ready to leave. Now all you have to do is find Cheongho. This will be over really soon. maybe?
