Chapter 158: Kill The Duoexini (2)
Suddenly, aliens?
One might think so.
I thought so, too.
But no matter how imaginative the original author was, modern content inevitably drew influence from previous works.
Whether it was market research or a memorable impression from childhood, at least one aspect was always influenced by existing cultural content.
Consider the meteorite that fell from space.
The meteorite plunged into the middle of the East Sea, and unlike many around the world who worried about an asteroid impact, it landed gently in the East Sea, as if a spaceship were touching down on the moon.
The presence of some will was evident whether it was programmed or possessed actual life.
This will belonged to the alien, and the entity created by the alien was evil.
If we delved further into this, it would become a real headache, but for now, lets not think about that.
Duoexini turned 72 ability users into demons and caused hundreds of casualties. Thats reason enough to kill Duoexini. Even if the Secret Society doesnt intervene, the entire world will be after Duoexini.
Are you planning to set up a net to catch Duoexini? Like the Heavenly Net in martial arts novels?
No. Just a word on the dark web will lure him out.
Really?
Probably.
I wasnt certain.
But he would definitely appear once the trap was set, knowing it was a trap.
Whether its to maintain his identity or whatever reason, if hes really intoxicated with national pride, he cant help but show up when he hears this.
What are you going to say?
Like this.
I promptly informed the two of the message I was going to send to Duoexini.
Wow, thats insane.
If he doesnt show up, hes not Korean.
Doul was amazed and clicked his tongue while the Brewer immediately logged onto the internet.
What should we do? Should we spread it now?
No. Not yet. Hes been hit hard, but hes likely feeling victorious.
He had caused nationwide chaos and shocked the world.
Let him savor his victory for now. I actually prefer that he does. To bolster his sense of triumph, hell delve into modern taboos.
I typed a word into the search engine connected to my Taeguk Watch.
Duoexini.
The search results showed 939,215 mentions in the last day.
Hes captured the whole worlds attention after stirring up such an incident in Korea.
You planning to ego-search?
Of course.
That was just how villains operated.
They relished witnessing the turmoil they instigated and peoples reactions to it, whether on TV or the internet.
Doul. Take a break. Immersing yourself in the hot spring should aid in restoring your magical power. Ill join you once Im finished here.
Understood. But hey, theres a bunch of those things by the hot spring right now.
Those things?
Yeah. Artifacts left by Solar Platina. Seems like she left them for you to handle?
.
Outside on the veranda, a heap of golden orbs lay protected by Douls magical barrier.
Looks like I need to start swinging the bat before I set the trap.
I pulled out my Goblin Bat.
Doul, do you happen to enjoy golf?
Oh, are we going to use that?
Lets merge.
Wow!
Doul joyfully wrapped her arms around me from behind, and her body dissolved into mist and merged with mine.
Hmm.
Were you always like this beneath the mask?
Yes.
My reflection on the veranda glass showed me fully merged with Doul, devoid of any clothing or mask.
Whether as the Goblin or Dodjirider, it seems rather excessive not to cover this up.
Geometric tattoos glimmered across my skin.
The patterns shimmered, appearing on my skin from top to bottom as if I were undergoing a metamorphosis.
And my hair and eyes changed color too.
Not to Douls green, but to a stark white.
Hair the color of snow.
And black, tiger-like patterns emerged all over my body.
Who would guess that this is the notorious Doul?
You make a valid point. Its almost like.
Enough.
I pressed my index finger lightly to my lips to quiet Brewer, and she raised her hands in acquiescence.
Understood. Need a caddy?
Unfortunately, its too risky to touch this. Ill handle it myself.
I gripped the Goblin Bat, fashioned like a 7-iron, in one hand and placed a golden orb on the ground of the open-air bath.
Then. One Duoexini.
-Bang!
Kaaang!
The Goblin Bat [golf club] swung furiously, shattering the golden orb into ash.
Nice shot.
Brewer clapped her hands in response, and I prepared the next golden orb.
Sometimes.
Humans needed to engage in violent acts for stress relief.
I was no exception.
[Duoexini, you miserable!]
For the current life, Doul, Hyeon Serin, within me was also swearing.
Kaang.
The second Duoexini exploded upon impact with the golf club.
The training had effectively ended.
The academy students were deeply shocked by the loss of colleagues, friends, or family, and it wasnt easy for anyone to provide comfort.
Staff died, civilians died, and above all, numerous ability users were killed.
This was the first time since the [Great War] last November in China that so many ability users had died
Yumir followed the news on her Taeguk Watch.
-So the damage increased because of Solar Platina, didnt it?
-What are you talking about? Duoexini is the cause. That lunatic caused this chaos. Dont mislead!
Yumir was too apprehensive to check the internet communitys reaction immediately.
Instead.
Chairman.
Just call me Iseon. Ill call you informally, too. Were the same age, after all.
Okay. Thanks.
Cool.
Yumir, having revealed her identity, approached the student council president, Yoon Iseon, for a conversation.
Whats going to happen now? The training.
Everyone will rest in different locations tonight. Since S-class heroes are gathered in Daejeon, vehicles will be arranged to bring everyone together. Well be an exception, though.
As Yoon Iseon predicted, the ability users were being gathered in one place.
Would they leave ability users scattered across various regions, adding to the already chaotic situation?
Hey! Are you telling us to die if they go berserk again?
There was strong civilian backlash and the ability users themselves preferred to gather together.
Even if I turn into a demon, being near an S-class means they wont kill me but seal me instead.
The world is anxious. But theres one sanctuary for ability users. Do you know what it is?
What is it?
Even if I become a demon, there are people who can save me.
Yumir fell silent at Yoon Iseons words.
Who are you talking about?
Solar Platina.
Yoon Iseon, holding back the words like you, handed Yumir some ice cream from the dormitory fridge.
Thanks to Solar Platina, the demon has become human. Losing their abilities, theyll need to be vaccinated like babies before living outside, and above all, theyll have to adapt to life without abilities.
.
Still, no one died. Its a dilemma, but at least I dont think Solar Platina purifying the demon into a human was wrong.
In the news debates
Media, especially the current affairs debates you mentioned, are about people with opposing views presenting their opinions. No need to listen to bad things about Solar Platina.
.
Yumir bit into her ice cream.
Sorry that I couldnt do anything.
Huh? Earlier? Its okay. Its not exactly thanks to you, but no, it is. I was really happy to be saved by Sir Goblin.
Sir Goblin? You were happy?
Yes.
Yoon Iseon blushed and stroked her cheeks with both hands.
Sigh. Sir Goblin saved me like a princess.
Do you like the Goblin?
Yes. Im a fan. Im number 38 in the fan club.
Thats impressive.
Right? Others say hes a villain, but to me, hes my own dark hero.
Dark hero, huh
It felt both right and wrong.
Yumir couldnt clearly articulate it, but she was sure of one thing.
Iseon.
Hmm?
What do you think youd do if you were the Goblin right now?
If I were Sir Goblin? Uh, hmm.
Yoon Iseon scratched her cheek.
I guess Id try to catch Duoexini any way I could. Since a lot of magic power was used, Id move as soon as its restored.
What if your magic power is restored right now?
Then Id move as quickly as possible.
Right.
Yumir, with a serious expression, quietly approached Yoon Iseon and lowered her voice.
If theres a way to restore magic power here, attacking before the opponent regains theirs is the best option, right?
Uh, maybe Sir Goblin needs at least a day to restore his magic power?
Yoon Iseons eyes began to flicker left and right.
What if it takes less than a day?
If its the Sir Goblin I know, hed definitely move right away.
You, by any chance,
Yumir narrowed her eyes and lowered her voice even more.
Did the Goblin say anything to you?
Huh?
Yumir looked around and lowered her voice further.
Not about Solar Platinas identity, but something else.
Uh, thats.
Nobody can hear us right now, so Ill ask.
Yumirs fierce gaze bore into Yoon Iseons face.
If theres anything related to Duoexini that the Goblin asked you, tell me. Especially if its about dealing with Duoexini.
Yumir gazed coldly at Yoon Iseon.
Lets deal with it before midnight, before the date changes.
