〈 White Knight (4) 〉
‘It’s a hit.’
Unprecedented.
In a situation where those words fit perfectly, the young man who was capturing Heinrich on camera in the hospital lobby swallowed his saliva.
‘Oh my god, what a scoop! ‘I never thought I would have this kind of luck!’
Now he was being interviewed with a camera, but he was not a reporter.
Internet personal broadcasting, a job that can no longer be considered that special, was what he was engaged in.
If I had to point out one special aspect… Would it be that he was a returnee and succeeded in making a name for himself thanks to his background?
However, because the level was not that high and the unique skills were not noticeable, the scale of the broadcast was far from enough to be called a large company.
‘Not only did I have my first exclusive interview with a hot white knight, but the content was this big news?’
For some reason, I had a particularly good dream last night, so I guess I was hoping for this kind of luck.
The young man clenched his fists, remembering the unique skill of the precognitive dream system that had brought him to this hospital.
Because my skill level was low, all I could do was roughly guess what good or bad luck would come the next day…
-???
-A person from another world? Not a returnee?
-Wow hahaha what is this hahaha
-?????
-Is it real? Or is it just an indulgence??
Looking at the chat window that is still growing at an incredible speed, there is no jackpot like this.
He glanced at the number of viewers, which was still rising steeply, several times higher than usual, then tried to calm his mind and turn his attention back to the paladin in front of him.
An exotic handsome man with a gentle smile on his bare face without his helmet.
He willingly responded to the interview request that he had the courage to make, and even during this time, he continued to radiate divine power and heal the sick.
No matter how you look at it, he was truly a hero of salvation.
‘…Actually, the facts of the interview are not good at all.’
To be honest, he too was skeptical about Heinrich’s remarks.
A person from another world who suddenly came from another dimension.
No matter how many times the White Knight proved his tremendous divine power, that was no basis for his being from another world.
Rather than acknowledging an exception that has never been made based solely on the party’s argument, isn’t it inevitable that it would be more reasonable to deny it until clear evidence emerges?
“What if there is evil hanging over the entire dimension…?”
“They hide in countless dimensions and bring destruction to the world in various ways. “If we take the case of Outerica as an example… we could say that the existence of the Immortal King is part of that.”
However, despite his personal sentiments, the young man still continued his interview with White Knight Heinrich in a serious manner.
Whether it’s just a prank by a top-level returnee or the nonsense of a crazy person driven by fanaticism.
Because it was not up to him to judge the truth of the content.
-This is ridiculous;; Could it be that he was crazy…;
-I believe it! Long live the White Knight! Long live Heinrich! Long live Auterica!
-Information) More than 20 years have passed since the start of transmission to another world, and although there have been countless self-proclaimed people from another world around the world, there has not been a single case where they have been properly recognized.
-ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Is this a fun hidden camera? This house is doing great haha
– Just because it hasn’t happened before doesn’t mean it won’t happen again. Isn’t 20 years too short to prove a hypothesis?
-No, sir. So, bring proof! Proof!
It is entirely up to the viewers to decide whether to believe it or not.
His role was only to convey the current situation.
Along with the sudden rise in awareness, the donations pouring in were the sweet nectar that came along with the process.
And of course.
While many opinions were competing and mixed, the opinion that was still popular was the one that did not believe it, calling it a nonsensical claim.
‘Well, I expected that too.’
Heinrich, who took a peek at the chat window where such public opinion was flowing with his superhuman visual acuity, internally agreed.
More than 20 years have already passed since transmission from Earth to another world began.
During that short period of time, it had long been established as a law that only the awakened people of Earth could ignore the laws of the dimension.
But suddenly someone from another world appeared on Earth?
Of course, there was no way I could easily believe such an out-of-the-blue claim.
“…They are the ones who led multiple dimensions to destruction. Whatever it is, the intention is probably not one that is very beneficial to the world. Of course, that also applies to this Earth where they are hiding.”
However, Heinrich continued to speak seriously until the end, showing off his well-trained facial expressions.
Confidence and self-confidence, along with logic, are one of the decisive factors in persuading others.
“There will be no peace in any world as long as they remain in the world.”
His ‘faith’, which clearly only spoke the truth as far as the Buncheonhoe was concerned, soon began to mix with the aura of ‘Great Blessing: Knight of Light’ as well as the presence that leaked from that distant place.
“That’s why I’m here now.”
It naturally spread in the form of invisible charisma and swallowed up some of the thoughts of others.
As if he were the leader of a cult.
‘…uh? Is it really true?’
And the young broadcaster, who had no choice but to face the aura squarely because he was closest, kept blinking with a confused expression.
He thought he was making a fairly cool-headed judgment, but his intuition, which had developed naturally thanks to his unique skills, was telling him that this was true.
Also, although the effect was somewhat weak compared to its influence in reality, the Internet world beyond the lens also showed such a reaction.
-??? I really don’t know;; First of all, I am neutral.
-Actually, if it’s true, it will be revealed soon anyway, so there’s no need to lose strength.
-Ah, I don’t believe it without proof.
-Wow, he’s really handsome. I would be happy just by looking at your face.
-I believe in you! So please come to Incheon ㅠㅠ My grandmother is sick and I heard that she doesn’t have much time left…
Of course, it wasn’t enough to completely change public opinion with just a few words.
However, there is no doubt that it has succeeded in planting the thought of ‘maybe’ in the minds of many people.
‘That’s enough for now. Anyway, it’s a problem that can be solved later by just proving it.’
Actually, I’ve already thought of a way to do that.
In the end, they simply could not come to terms with the unprecedented situation.
That’s probably why he stubbornly insists on trying to convince himself by staying within the realm of what he can understand.
‘Then just give us other examples that go beyond the scope of common sense. If that happens…’
Naturally, Heinrich’s words will have no choice but to be weighted, and Buncheonhoe will not be able to continue hiding like it has done so far.
Whether it’s to respond to public opinion wars or to actually project force, they will have no choice but to surface at least a little bit in some way.
‘…From then on, it really begins.’
A full-scale war to erase the evil organization called Beoncheonhoe from this world.
Heinrich gently rolled his eyes and smiled softly.
With his senses, he felt multiple figures approaching the range faster than before.
The plan was still going smoothly.
***
New Delhi, the capital of India.
“…What the hell is that…”
A woman’s shaky voice came out from a room filled with fabrics with complex mandala patterns set up like a maze.
A large number of candles and the reflected light of metal objects illuminate the dark room…and a blue-white light shining from the screen of an electronic device that is somewhat different from them.
The brown-skinned woman half-lying on the sofa frowned slightly and glared at the tablet screen.
-I can’t stay in this world for long. According to God’s will, I came here to warn you in advance, but the problems in our world are not over yet.
-Oh, I heard about it. It was said that the fight against the demon king called the Immortal King is not over yet.
-That’s right. It is the seed of evil that germinated in our world through artificial methods. It’s bound to be difficult to come here often until everything is sorted out. Actually, I still feel like I’m overdoing it a bit…
– Oh my! So, this really means that she can travel back and forth between the two worlds at will… A
red jewel in the shape of a water drop shed a beautiful brilliance from her forehead as she glared at the screen fearfully.
She, Oracle, stared at the hookah pipe in one hand for a while, not even paying attention to it. When the screen stopped playing, she gently closed her eyes, massaged her eyebrows, and sighed.
‘…what? how. My insight was off again? Is this an issue that could become an inflection point on such a large scale?’
Moreover, the origin was once again Korea.
This is the area where an uncertain element called Hahoetal first appeared and disrupted their plans.
An area where a vampire named Heinz set his sights on them and began to control the underworld.
‘But this time too…’
A saint from another world who was sure to be a huge variable suddenly popped out.
No, no matter what the variable, it was no different from a large bomb that would inevitably shake all plans if we did not respond immediately.
‘At this point, I guess I’m sure.’
I don’t know exactly, but something that existed in Korea for a while has slowly begun to move.
And perhaps that is something that has always blocked insight into Korea.
“Hmm…”
When the situation reached that point, Oracle could not help but doubt his original plan.
Since resources are limited, we decided that it would be best to focus on China and Japan and use them to indirectly control Korea, rather than investing additionally in Korea, which has potential uncertain risk factors.
‘If we had given up on Japan and focused all of our resources on Korea… would we have been able to prevent this abnormal situation in advance?’
Now it was just a meaningless assumption.
Since there were uncertainties in the first place, the efficiency compared to investment would have been extremely low.
In fact, wasn’t a talented person from the Kang Hwan world who was supposed to return as an expert in the field of economics but ended up being cut off due to bad timing?
In the first place, it was best to abandon Korea for the sake of efficiency at the time, as it took a significant amount of resources to support even one candidate who would grow to a transcendent level.
“Phew—we can’t help what has already passed.”
After gathering his thoughts again, Oracle brought the hookah pipe he was holding in one hand to his mouth and sucked deeply.
Anyway, now that we had figured out the situation, it was time to come up with a response plan.
‘It was only recently that control over China was restored by clearing up the actions of a thunderbolt named Hahoetal.’
How much effort and resources were expended trying to put things right as quickly as possible, but then something like this happens again and again!
This time, I was so upset that a saint named Baek Knight, who was the complete opposite of the warlock Ha Hoetal, was causing trouble as if he was tagging along.
“What about the doctor?”
With that in mind, she took her mouth off the pipe and lightly muttered a word.
Then, a person who had been there for some time, her whole body covered in black cloth, bowed down politely on the floor and answered her question.
“I’m busy taking care of things in Europe, so please take care of everything here. The Doctor is planning to capture a vampire named Heinz in Romania…”
“Ha! That crazy person can’t even figure out what’s important right now? Now is not the time to worry about a test subject like that…!”
She knew very well what the Doctor was so obsessed with.
If the plan is successful, it will be of great help in future work.
But isn’t there a priority in everything?
‘If you think about the time the vampire travels around other parts of Europe, there is enough time.’
In any case, there was nothing I liked about that person from beginning to end.
If it wasn’t for Hoeju, we wouldn’t have been together in the first place.
Oracle, who had been puffing on his hookah for a while, suppressing his dissatisfaction, finally let out a sigh along with the smoke.
What could I do? It was something that could not be helped now that the owner was away.
“Still, there will still be some time left before it becomes public, so if we start preparing in advance now…”
And so Oracle had to deal with the headache again to resolve the group task from which Jo Won had escaped.
Of course, no one knew whether the matter that needed to be resolved would end there.
***
Heinz II hid on an airplane and flew to France, which was close to the other side of the world.
It took him some more time to ‘educate’ Victor Balzac, the tyrant of Thermidor, the largest underworld organization in France.
‘I think this is enough. Then, shall we move on to the next step?’
And when the training was somewhat over, he boarded the plane as secretly as he had when he had smuggled in the country.
Although he provided an additional false identity in Thermidor, which was under his control, vampire screening was more stringent at European airports than in Korea, so this method was the best to avoid the hassle.
‘The flight time won’t be that long anyway.’
Finally, the plane he was on took off without any problems.
Where the next target is.
towards Italy.
