Chapter 316 Butterfly Effect (7)
Kim Ha-jin, acting president and pri minister.
Even though it was late in the morning when everyone was asleep, he was sitting and facing one person with a serious face.
“This is very surprising. To invite an unwelco guest at dawn like this.”
As if he had foreseen this situation, the Japanese ambassador sits down and sips coffee with a calm face. Pri Minister Kim Ha-jin, who had only listened to his thorny remarks, thrust several photos in front of him with a serious face.
“Do you know who these people are?”
CCTV photos provided by Arcadia Co., Ltd.
Looking at the photo of the faces of the assailants pushing the two people into the large van, the Japanese ambassador did not change his face and asked with a puzzled face.
“Who is this? These are the faces I've never seen before...”
The Japanese ambassador denies that he doesn't know. However, Pri Minister Kim Ha-jin said with a flushed face as if in a huff at his too calm attitude.
“Stop the nonsense, Japanese Ambassador. We have already figured out that those two are secret agents sent by the Japanese governnt.”
Pri Minister Kim Ha-jin speaks directly about their identities without paying attention to diplomatic investigations. However, the Japanese ambassador spoke with a very shaless face.
“The Japanese governnt is not currently carrying out any illegal operations in Korea. I am concerned that the future diplomatic relations between the two countries will be negatively affected by making remarks that defa the honor of the ho country on such a ridiculous charge.”
He speaks calmly and quietly, but in reality, the answer is no different from a counter-threat. At the sa ti, he picked up the photo with an interesting look and muttered as if talking to himself.
“And even if... even if these two are Japanese, they probably aren’t acting under any special instructions. However, considering the recent horrors, there may be so who cannot hold back their resentnt and accidentally take extre actions.”
‘Even if the abductees were Japanese, all of this was committed by Japanese ‘individuals' voluntarily, not by the Japanese governnt.'
The Japanese ambassador who is trying to lay the groundwork to evade responsibility by saying such nonsense. However, the face of Pri Minister Kim Ha-jin, who had no way of understanding what was going on, began to distort.
“You say that now? A certain ordinary person avoids the NIS's pursuit and like this...”
Pri Minister Kim Ha-jin, who was about to shout excitedly, realized his mistake and shut his mouth with an apologetic face. He couldn't spit in my face in front of an ambassador from another country while talking about how the South Korean intelligence agency was completely killing it, so he shut his mouth with a shitty face.
“First of all, we understand the concerns of the Korean governnt. In the future, we, the Japanese people, who have beco emotional about the tragedy that took place in virtual reality, may express their anger toward the Republic of Korea through sudden or accidental actions, so the Japanese governnt will also look into these issues internally. Acting President .”
The Japanese ambassador smiles and puts down his coffee cup and gets up from his seat. He looked down at the Pri Minister with the corner of his mouth raised as if in a mockery, and left after leaving his last words.
“I know very well that the current situation inside the Republic of Korea is dizzy. Please, I sincerely hope that this situation will end amicably without bringing more confusion to the chaotic political situation.”
“That... that damn bastard...”
The Japanese ambassador called himself, deliberately emphasizing the word Acting President. However, he could not bear to refute the last words left by the Japanese ambassador.
The whole country has been turned upside down due to the impeachnt of President Jeon Ki-chan. In such a ssy atmosphere, he temporarily took the place of the president, but if he gets caught up in another super-large scandal like this, it was a video without knowing who would get all the shit.
“That can’t be done..... How did I co this far...”
He was promised key positions in the next administration by two major political parties in return for cooperating with the current impeachnt situation. He trembled his legs with an uneasy face, knowing that the road ahead would flow smoothly only if he passed this ti quietly without any major problems.
“.....”
Pri Minister Kim Ha-jin pondered for a long ti.
And he soon called the director of the National Intelligence Service, who was waiting in another room.
“Did you call?”
“ah. Would you like to get so fresh air?”
He takes the NIS director out to the balcony and smokes a cigarette. Pri Minister Kim Ha-jin, who lit the fire, inhaled the smoke and exhaled, told him of the decision he had made in his heart.
“Keep quiet about this.”
“yes....? What is that...!”
The director of the National Intelligence Service asks back with an expression of incomprehension at the mont. However, Pri Minister Kim Ha-jin cut off his words and said.
“Don’t you, the director of the National Intelligence Service, know how noisy the current political situation is? If you and I are in the current situation, if a huge scandal like this breaks out, that will be the end of us all.”
A situation in which two Korean nationals were abducted in broad daylight by Japanese intelligence.
If this incident beca known to the dia, it was clear that it would be imdiately hit by an enormous amount of criticism from the public, so Pri Minister Kim Ha-jin was honest in wanting to quietly cover up this incident itself as sothing that never happened.
“We know that the two people kidnapped this ti are talented people with exceptional talents related to virtual reality technology, but didn’t the NIS also judge that there would be no major threat to national security or technology leakage?”
“That is true, but in the case of Lim Jae-gyun, he is evaluated as a talented person with overwhelming talent in the virtual reality industry and is a person who is evaluated to be of great help to the national interest. Giving up the rescue of the people of the Republic of Korea simply for political reasons...”
“Why are there so many useless words? If you just want to cover it, cover it. The political situation is confusing for no reason, but making another diplomatic dispute with Japan is not helpful to the national interest. This is an order.”
Pri Minister Kim Ha-jin cuts him off and orders him to cover it up with a high-handed attitude. Then, the NIS chief said with a hard face.
“President Jeon Chan would not have made this decision.”
However, at his words, Pri Minister Kim Ha-jin muttered in a self-deprecating voice as he flicked a burnt cigarette butt before leaving the place.
“The electric president is over now. You'd better be smart if you don't want to perish on that ship as well.”
“.....”
Director of the National Intelligence Service, who remained for a long ti after Pri Minister Kim Ha-jin left.
He didn't say anything, just looked up with a bitter expression on his face.
Just like the current situation in Korea, a sky full of pitch-black darkness where you can't even see an inch ahead.
* * *
An unknown desert in California.
The Hive, Silicof's secret research base nestled deep underground.
Jenica, who spends most of her ti working on all sorts of research, had her irritation index rise to the maximum level at the sudden call.
“No, what the hell are you talking about? Did Arcadia co to an end?”
Dark circles from not sleeping properly for a while, and the head of Silicorp, whose scattered silver hair flutters and his lifeless eyes shine.
She couldn't contain her absurdity as she heard the story of President Lee Mi-yeon, who was scratching her cheek with an embarrassed face.
[Sohow it happened. The user who had the job Minsu envisioned... ended up having too much influence than expected. As a result, it has beco an indispensable presence in Arcadia.]
“No.... What the hell did he do like a dog, so that such a situation even happens?”
Jenika, who has been working on all kinds of technology developnt and research for a while, has not been able to wake up. It was true that she hadn't paid attention to Arcadia for quite so ti, but she opened her mouth as she received a brief report on the situation in Arcadia, which had beco a ss beyond imagination.
“So... even after resurrecting the world tree and uniting the continents, they made magic turrets or nabals, and even created the strange main scenario of the age of magic science at will... and even opened clues to the later crisis scenario. ?”
[yes. Oh and completely blown up an empire. No..... Based on what I've blown up so far, there will be about one... two or three.] Dan
Jae-young, who made such an enormous shit that it's hard to believe that one person did it.
Looking through the list of his splendid biographies, to the extent that it was difficult to even figure out the number, Jenika closed her eyes as if she was dizzy, took a deep breath, and then called out in a very cold voice.
“jack.”
Jack does not answer Jenica's call.
Then she opened her lifeless eyes and said.
“If you don’t co out right now, I know I’ll just cut off your LAN cable.”
[Ugh! Did you call ?]
Jack imdiately jumps out at the threat of pulling out the LAN cable. However, he appeared on the monitor in the form of an avatar sweating profusely, as if sothing had stung him. Staring at Jack, who was trying to avoid his gaze with trembling eyes, Jennica asked in a calm tone that was so frightening.
“I’m only going to ask you this once, so think carefully before answering. Did you create this situation Jack on purpose?”
[Huh...?]
“Did you induce the situation where Arcadia is going to shit?”
[Can that be? no! I just watched thoroughly. Just watched.]
Jack's reply that he wasn't playing around with anything.
Then Jenica stared at him without blinking. It's a short ti of less than one minute, but it's a suffocating situation that's close to eternity for the person concerned. However, it was Ellis who ca to the rescue in this desperate crisis.
[The top manager has never directly intervened inside Arcadia. All counterasures taken so far were only counterasures to what happened to the player.]
Artificial intelligence that operates only with reason and logic, without any emotion. In response to Elise's testimony, where she inserted a rciless factual assault without blood or tears, Jennica repeatedly muttered and showed a lot of discomfort. And soon, he specified the target to pour out his anger.
“So... you're saying it's all because of that bastard who created that crazy job?”
[It is a reasonable conclusion to see that it is.]
Kim Min-soo, who made the wandering song of the turbulent world.
At Alice's words that this was all because of him, Jenica gnashed her teeth with a bloody sound.
“Anyway, that bastard who will do XXXXXXXXXX by doing XXXXXX and XXXXXX is.....”
Jenica spits out cruel and bloody curses that are unbelievable for a 15-year-old girl. She spewed out a lot of murderous thoughts and snarled to herself and let out that anger. Soon after, she regained her composure when she saw President Lee Mi-yeon smiling awkwardly and asked again with a calm face.
“For now, let’s sort things out. I don’t know what the Japanese governnt was shot in the head for, but suddenly kidnapped that college student who was playing gas quietly?”
[That's right.]
“And... if that bastard is kidnapped, Arcadia will be destroyed sooner or later.”
[Eris expected it.]
“.....”
She didn’t quite understand why she was put in this situation, but Jennica sighed from the sudden fatigue from this absurd and annoying situation and picked up the phone. heard.
“hello? ah helen. I'm sorry, but I'm calling because I need so help.”
The Departnt of State is a key agency that oversees all foreign and foreign policy of the United States.
Jennica, who called the Secretary of State, the head of the State Departnt, smiled so madly.
“Could you borrow the 7th Fleet for a mont?”
