The Late Game Healer Is Way Too Strong – Chapter 265

𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝟐𝟔𝟓: 𝐓𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐒𝐮𝐛𝐣𝐞𝐜𝐭 1

Choi Dae-soo was not surprised because he had experienced such things many times.

However, the reporters and the people inside the Blue House who were experiencing the illusion for the first time seemed to be very bewildered and confused.

And so was Charles de Bernadotte.

He looked as if he was dreaming.

“President Choi Dae-soo. . . What in the world is happening? And where is Jin Do-wa?!”

Marquis Bernadotte asked, looking around.

“Jin Do-wa ran away.”

“Am I not dreaming? Is this all. . . Jin Do-wa’s illusion?”

“It seems so. I don’t know when it started.”

Choi Dae-soo looking at the cigarette case in his hand.

When Jin Do-wa first appeared, he saw Hunters who had been killed with their necks cut off in his hands.

They were all fine, and the ones lying on the floor were straw dolls.

There was no one who had died in the first place.

No one was killed.

Jin Do-wa has always been like that.

He did not kill innocent people, and he killed those who he thought were guilty.

He never claimed to be just or sought to break the justice of others, but rather there were times when the absence of faith seemed dangerous.

There is nothing as dangerous as a justice that is not clearly defined.

Choi Dae-soo strengthened his conviction after seeing Jin Do-wa’s change.

Even if it conflicted with the justice and principles of others, and even if it caused conflict, he did not bend his convictions.

“Let’s end the promotion ceremony with this?”

“Are you okay? If you don’t want to, we can set a date again and do it properly. . .”

“No. I saw my friends’ faces. . . I’m satisfied.”

Choi Dae-soo put the cigarette case in his pocket and smiled and left.

🔸🔸🔸🔸🔸🔸

There was a lot of talk about his promotion ceremony.

Because in the last scene of the battle, he seemed to be close to the criminal of ‘Six Fingers’ who hunted rankers.

However, even that was an illusion, no, there was a lot of debate, and the opinion that he was an ‘evil friend’ became more prominent as the fact that Choi Dae-soo and Jin Do-wa were friends in the past and that he had arrested Jin Do-wa and sent him to prison was discovered.

“I will now enter ‘Prophetes’.”

Choi Dae-soo said to the other person on the phone.

━ Can’t you even go quietly and avoid that mess?

“Haha. You’re funny. Your promotion ceremony wasn’t quiet either.”

━ I didn’t miss it on purpose like you.

“Oh. . . I guess I was obvious.”

Choi Dae-soo exhaled cigarette smoke.

━ Did you let him go because he was a friend?

Siwoo asked.

“Yes, a friend. . . or maybe not. It wasn’t just because of our relationship that I let him go. It was simply because I knew him well, so I went along with him. If Jin Do-wa had really intended to kill me, he would not have made such a commotion and appeared.”

━ So. . . has he stopped hunting rankers now?

“Probably. 〈Pandemonium〉’s ideology and Jin Do-wa’s ideology don’t match. That aside, what happened to the ‘Saintess’ who came to visit?”

━I’ve shared some of the details with her, but it seems that 〈Pandemonium〉 is trying to open the gate to another world.

“What is their purpose?”

━ Well, I’ll find out when I start moving in earnest.

Choi Dae-soo ended the call after sharing more brief information.

He had also heard a while ago that Merlin and Baba Yaga were 〈Pandemonium〉 1st Hierarchy, so he was filled with information.

“This is an ominous sign. . . It feels like the storm is drawing near.”

He muttered as he headed to the portal leading to the floating island.

🔸🔸🔸🔸🔸🔸

“As of today, we welcome Jin Do-wa to our team.”

In the dark cave, several magic lanterns illuminate.

At Ryu Ji-hwan’s introduction, Jin Do-wa smiled broadly and waved his hand.

“Wow~! Jin Do-wa, long time no see! Have you been well?”

“Raphel is so happy to see you too! I missed you!”

“Long time no see, Mr. Jin Do-wa.”

“Oh, Warthog and Raphel have grown so much. Kaleo and Ivan, long time no see.”

The members of IZIZ approached Jin Do-wa and hugged him or greeted him happily.

However, Ivan, whose name was called, did not come close and just waved his hand from afar.

“I saw Crow recently on a mission. I almost got cursed over looking for a will.”

“Jin Do-wa. . . the half-demons owe you a great debt. This much is nothing. And we don’t abandon our comrades.”

“I’m glad to hear that. Don’t worry, I didn’t do it for the half-demons to owe me anything.”

Jin Do-wa said with a bitter face, lighting a cigarette.

Back when he was in prison, there were rumors within the half-demons about revenge for the video.

However, how could a half-demon with no backing or support kill the presidents and politicians of a country?

Moreover, such a thing did not happen only in Korea.

Half-demons were traded all over the world.

In other words, they were refugees with no nationality or protection.

They were sold or abducted, often as slaves, and were frequently killed if they were deemed unsatisfactory.

Of course, all of that was an ‘open secret’.

At that moment, a man named Jin Do-wa appeared and began to commit serial murders in Korea.

The murders, which mainly targeted politicians and famous conglomerates, were known as anarchist crimes against power, but the half-demons knew right away.

The people in the video they obtained were dying one by one.

The half-demons immediately went to Jin Do-wa and expressed their gratitude.

The IZIZ members who greeted Jin Do-wa happily had known him since then.

And Ryu Ji-hwan approached Jin Do-wa as soon as 〈Pandemonium〉 broke into the prison and escaped the prisoners.

Jin Do-wa, who usually didn’t join hands with others, shook hands with Ryu Ji-hwan obediently this time.

“Jin Do-wa, we have destroyed all the Oath of the Red Wolves, including yours. . . So IZIZ and Red Wolves are now allies.”

“Yes. I will keep my promise, so don’t worry. Once we’re in the same boat, we’ll go all the way.”

“Thank you for saying that. I’m going back to that damn 〈Pandemonium〉. I’ll rest until the next target is decided.”

Ryu Ji-hwan came out of the cave.

There, Crowel was sitting on a rock, looking at the scenery blankly.

“You tennis ball head. I told you to come in and wait.”

“We’re not even in the same organization, how can I do that?”

“Tsk, that’s why you should join IZIZ.”

“I’m still thinking about it.”

Ryu Ji-hwan put a cigarette in his mouth and frowned.

“Ha. . . How many artifacts are left?”

“We must have collected about 85%. But it seems impossible to collect 100%. The rest are in places like the 〈Agape Order〉, super high-rankers like ‘Misteltein’, or the Pentagon.”

“The 1st Hierarchy is opening the door to the other world. . . What on earth are they planning to do?”

“Isn’t it one of two things?”

Ryu Ji-hwan looked at Crowel.

“Either we go over there. Or they come over here.”

🔸🔸🔸🔸🔸🔸

Nevada, USA.

〈Pandemonium〉’s main research institute.

Boom!!

As usual, an experiment was in progress, but the entrance to the research institute exploded with a terrible roar.

People screamed and scattered in all directions in an instant.

“D-Doctor!!”

One of the researchers ran into the doctor’s lab and called him urgently.

“What’s all this commotion!”

“It’s terrible! We’re under attack!”

“Who on earth attacked our research institute!”

“I don’t know, but you have to run away!”

The doctor frowned deeply and looked around his room.

And then he hurriedly began to pack his necessities.

A USB containing the results of his research, an ancient magic book, and a bottle of demonic energy that he had recently received.

The doctor tried to leave the lab with his cane.

At that moment, the door to the doctor’s room opened and someone appeared.

“Harold Bloom. . .!”

He was Harold Bloom, an associate special agent of the HSIU International Headquarters and the ranked 4th in the world.

“How did you know about this lab and break in?!”

“HSIU wasn’t just playing around. We have been conducting a large-scale investigation centered around Hunter Min Siwoo and have been watching for an opportunity.”

“That damn son of a bitch’s name is everywhere. . .!”

The doctor gritted his teeth and frowned.

This was because Min Siwoo was the one who had interfered with and ruined all of his experiments so far.

“I have heard of the doctor’s notoriety through many 〈Pandemonium〉 members. Follow me quietly and confess, or die by my sword here.”

Harold said, pointing his weapon.

The doctor bowed his head and suddenly shook his shoulders and laughed out loud.

“Kukukel, you want me, the 2nd Hierarchy of 〈Pandemonium〉, to follow you quietly?! What nonsense! You’re already dead the moment you entered my ‘space’!”

And as his cane hit the floor, the darkness surrounding the room rushed towards Harold.

“Keuk!”

He spread his magic shield to block the attack and escaped out of the room first.

“Damn HSIU bastards. . .! I’ll show you what happens if you get in my way!”

The doctor looked at Harold and poured a sip of demonic energy into his mouth, and opened the magic book.

🔸🔸🔸🔸🔸🔸

After the deaths of five of the ‘Six Fingers’ were confirmed.

Siwoo, with the help of HSIU and the Hunter Association, simultaneously raided 〈Pandemonium〉’s hideout.

This was also thanks to the information provided by Crow and Loki.

Of course, they could not find out about the stronghold of the Hierarchy, which could be considered the core (Baba Yaga’s stronghold was her private laboratory), but they were able to identify several key research facilities.

And Siwoo sent trustworthy people to other places to ask for the complete destruction and collection of evidence from the facilities.

“The way they scatter here and there is just like cockroaches.”

Siwoo was also raiding a key facility and killing 〈Pandemonium〉 members.

Boom!!

The shotgun roared, cutting in half a person trying to rush at him.

Siwoo also fired his shotgun at the research facilities he saw in between, and especially checked the places where the ritual was drawn and the magic stones were embedded and crushed them with his shotgun.

This was because they might activate the portal or operate the gate to let monsters in, or they might have a self-destruct function installed.

“This side is almost finished!”

“This side is almost done too!”

The other Hunters who came with him reported to Siwoo.

“Hunter Siwoo! Please come over here!”

Then another Hunter called him urgently.

The place he guided was a space in the innermost part of the research lab.

“There was a light coming from inside. . . When I opened the door and went in. . . It seems like something went wrong.”

The Hunter stuttered as if he had seen something he shouldn’t have.

“I’ll check it out.”

Siwoo patted him on the shoulder and headed inside.

It was such a messy place that he might have just passed by if it weren’t for the Hunter.

As he passed through the warehouse-like place, a disgusting smell filled his nose.

Siwoo covered his mouth and nose with one hand and spread his magic sense to look inside.

“Ugh. . . Success is just around the corner. . . Why, why. . . Oh God! Why are you giving me this kind of trial!”

There, a young man was squatting and screaming.

“Who the hell are you?”

Siwoo asked, pointing his shotgun at him.

“Ugh. . . I am a messenger of God. . . But. . . you are. . .”

“. . . . . . . . . . . .”

“Sent by God. . . Are you my new test subject?”
