You Will Be Blessed If You Do Good Deeds¿ - Chapter 123
âIf you ask about religion, donât you say youâre a devout Christian?â
Choi Mi-yeon asked curiously.
âI said that to my normal friends.â
âWell, I donât really talk much.â
â⦠⦠Even though we shared a room? Wow. I thought so.â
I felt like I was being scolded. Is it because Iâm feeling bad?
I glanced at Choi Mi-yeon for a moment, but soon stopped.
âBut this time, I benefited from Choi Mi-yeon.â
The clue to this incident came from an unexpected place.
After returning to Korea, I checked my phone and saw a text message from Choi Mi-yeon.
She said she had something to say about Choi Ji-soo.
I called her and asked her, and unexpected information came in.
âChoi Ji-soo, sheâs a member of the True Light Church like me. Iâve seen her at mass before. Weâve never talked because of the age difference, but Iâm sure.â
I heard that Choi Mi-yeon searched through the articles after she found out about my disappearance on the news.
âI have nothing to do while Iâm hospitalized.â
Thatâs how I found out about Choi Ji-sooâs mention while reading an interview article with Lee Seung-heeâs parents.
I heard that the True Light Church continued even after the death of its leader, Lee Man-bok, but I never thought that Choi Ji-soo would be a member of the True Light Church.
Anyway, thanks to Choi Mi-yeon, I learned that Choi Ji-soo was related to the True Light Church, and things went smoothly after that.
Choi Mi-yeon knew about the True Light Church, and for the time being, I only had to commute to HP Guild and be questioned by the police, so I was free to act.
More than anything, my opponent was in a difficult position where he couldnât run to the police no matter how much I beat him up.
Thanks to that, it was very easy to retaliate.
So, the story is that he ran to the True Light Church branch that Choi Ji-soo belonged to and robbed it of its entirety.
âA mediocre guy who only has good action skills is useless.â
The fact that Lee Man-bok died in the dungeon was widely known, but in fact, it was not properly known what exactly happened there.
However, many believers witnessed my appearance.
It is a fact that everyone in the True Light Church knows that Lee Man-bok fell because of me.
That is why this True Light Church leader planned to revive the True Light Church by killing me to take revenge.
And it was fortunate that among the True Light Church believers who were still under his control, there was an awakened person who entered the same training center as me.
However, that luck was unfortunate for Lee Seung-hee, who was chosen as the sacrificial lamb.
Because Choi Ji-soo faithfully followed his god and tore a life apart.
After all, Choi Ji-soo's newcomer, Lee Man-bok, has also sacrificed many talented hunters as miracle victims, so he may be a believer who resembles God.
"Can I ask you something?"
"What?"
"Why did you spare that author? You killed him last time."
"... ... I have my own circumstances."
Honestly, I also thought that kind of person should just die.
- Doing Good Will Receive Blessings¿ The quest is in progress.
I glanced at the system message.
The last time I indirectly killed a group of scammers, it was judged as a 'necessary evil.'
At that time, I thought it was okay because my ability value didn't drop, but... ... .
'To be hit in the back of the head like this.'
I had no choice but to be careful since I was almost a Yoo Han-ul's belonging item right away.
The authority of that stupid group intelligence that aimed for the survival of humanity was too strong.
If I continued to act in a way that could be a threat to humanity, I could eventually show such behavior again.
Right now, given Yuhan-ulâs personality, itâs unlikely that would happen, but honestly, no one can guarantee when Yuhan-ul will turn around⦠⦠.
Perhaps even Yuhan-ul could be forced to refuse.
- The system is doing its best for the survival of humanity.
In the name of the greater good of humanityâs survival.
- The system requests âJeong Da-onâ to support âYuhan-ulâ.
- Would you like to participate in the quest, âSAVE THE WORLDâ?
The system read my thoughts and displayed a message as if protesting.
That stupid swarm intelligence bastard.
Even if I obediently wore the leash, it was only out of consideration for my blood relatives born on this Earth, not because I wanted to become a slave to the system.
âShall I really throw everything away?â
âHuh?â
âNo, not you⦠⦠âIt seems like youâre quite dissatisfied with being spared, judging by the way you asked.â
âNo, thatâs not it.â
Choi Mi-yeon shook her head.
âIâve seen enough of that human suffering. Whether he goes to prison or not, he wonât be able to live properly for the rest of his life.â
It took a week for the leader of the True Light Church to rub his hands and feet together and tell him the truth.
To be exact, the leader begged for his life, saying he would tell everything in half a day, but he pretended not to hear.
He went through real hell for a week.
He âaccidentallyâ entered a dungeon that he couldnât clear on his own.
The monsters tore him apart several times as prey, but the healing magic I cast on him regenerated his body so that he wouldnât die.
Thanks to that, he âsurvivedâ for over a week.
Isnât that really a good deed?
He saved someone who almost died.
âIf the system comes out like that, Iâll just have to become more cunning.â
In the fight between good and evil, the devil always has the advantage.
âAnyway, thank you. Thanks to you, I was able to resolve it quickly.â
âThis is the one.â
Choi Mi-yeon smiled.
âThis is a ray of joy during my very boring hospital life.â
âIâm glad it was fun.â
âThatâs funny. Youâre saying youâre going to kill Da-on now⦠⦠cough.â
Choi Mi-yeon coughed as she tried to say something.
It had only been a few months since we last met, but she had lost weight. Her complexion wasnât very good either.
Perhaps it was because she didnât have much time left.
â⦠⦠Thereâs no way their lives would change.â
Choi Mi-yeonâs face was covered in a sneer.
She couldnât tell whether it was directed at Choi Ji-soo, who had once been in the same situation, or at herself.
âThe belief that one can be saved is so deceiving⦠⦠.â
Thatâs not wrong.
The followers of the True Light Church are just trying to solve all the difficult problems in life by blindly believing in someone.
Itâs neglect in the name of faith. It should be comfortable, though.
âMr. Daon.â
âHuh?â
âI have a favor to ask.â
Nevertheless, Choi Mi-yeon, who chose to leave that convenience behind and embrace the painful and messy reality, looked back at me.
Her disheveled hair fluttered over her thin shoulders.
Choi Mi-yeon smiled faintly.
It was a smile that reminded me of Ia-rinâs last moments.
âWill you come see me one more time before I die?â
I squinted my eyes.
Seriously.
Living as a human is⦠⦠.
***
â⦠⦠I wish Ji-soo wasnât the culprit.â
When Choi Ji-soo confessed, Lee Pyeong-hwa looked gloomy.
âEven a cult. I had no idea⦠⦠.â
âOf course I didnât know.â
âShe just told me she believed in Christianity.â
There was no need to be surprised that Choi Mi-yeon was right.
âHow can there be so many cults in this small country? Then what will happen to Ji-soo in the future? If she was a mother religion, it was basically brainwashing, and she had no chance to escape⦠⦠.â
Lee Pyeong-hwa, who was about to say something, grabbed her hair.
âWhy is this happening?â
â⦠⦠I thought that situation would be considered in the trial, but it didnât seem to be. Anyway, Seung-hee is dead⦠⦠.â
This time, she sighed deeply with a heavy expression.
âBut suddenly a confession⦠⦠Why on earth did she suddenly confess?â
âI guess she must have felt guilty after hearing the news that we returned from the missing. The target I was trying to kill came back alive and well.â
âIs that so⦠⦠.â
âAnyway, this has been resolved. Now mind your own business.â
â⦠⦠Are you⦠⦠.â
Lee Pyeong-hwa narrowed her eyes and looked at me.
â⦠⦠No, no.â
âIf youâre not going to finish the conversation, why donât you just not bring it up in the first place? Itâs inefficient.â
âI asked because I thought you were worried about me, but I know youâre not!â
Lee Pyeong-hwa grumbled.
Itâs fortunate that she has the intelligence to discern the truth.
Anyway, weâll have to keep seeing each other while working as a social worker at the HP Guild.
âBut when are you coming? You clearly said it was the cafe in front of the guild?â
âItâs right here. And itâs still three minutes before the scheduled time.â
Because of Lee Pyeong-hwa, she arrived at work much earlier than scheduled.
âBut usually, itâs five minutes before⦠⦠.â
Ting!
The cafe door opened and a woman came inside.
âWow, I finally get to see your faces. You two have worked hard!â
And the one who came out to escort me and Lee Pyeong-hwa today was Shin Ji-eum, whom I hadnât seen in a long time.
Shin Ji-eum smiled brightly and shook hands with Lee Pyeong-hwa and me in turn.
âYou must have had a hard time being questioned by the police even after returning. I told you to come to the cafe to have some coffee and start. Iâm Shin Ji-eum. I saw Jung Da-on Hunter last time.â
âNice to meet you! Iâm Lee Pyeong-hwa!â
Lee Pyeong-hwa froze and greeted Shin Ji-eum.
Shin Ji-eum laughed heartily upon seeing her.
âAhaha, you donât have to be so disciplined. What do you want to drink?â
âIâll have anything⦠⦠.â
âThis is iced chocolate, and Iâll have iced Americano.â
âItâs good because itâs fast. Iâll order and come back!â
Shin Ji-eum was very fast and quick. It seemed like she had a disease that would kill her if she didnât move even for a moment. It was enough to make Leo groan.
Shin Ji-eum, who had brought the drinks, continued.
âTheyâre social service agents, but in reality, the government is passing the cost on to the guild to raise high-ranking hunters for free and use them cheaply, so itâs like a master-apprentice relationship, right? We get along comfortably.â
âUh⦠⦠.â
âFrom now on, Iâll be taking charge of Lee Pyeong-hwa and teaching her.â
After all, Shin Ji-eum said she was a class A inspector.
If Shin Ji-eum were to take charge of Lee Pyeong-hwa and train her, Lee Pyeong-hwa would be able to do it much faster than if he were rolling around in the military.
You can grow.
Shin Ji-eum seemed to really like Lee Pyeong-hwa.
âActually, Iâve been keeping an eye on Lee Pyeong-hwa since she was a youth representative, so itâs great that she came to our guild.â
âGo, thank you. Iâll do my best!â
âIâll also do my best to make Lee Pyeong-hwa Hunter like HP Guild.â
âHuh? Whatâs that⦠⦠.â
âThere are too many magicians here, so itâs boring. The only person who eats with me is the guild leader.â
Come to think of it, I think Iâve heard that story before.
âUnlike the name HP Guild, most magicians have trash stamina and no social skills⦠⦠I wish there were more inspectors like that. Thatâs why I made this wish as my year-end party wish this year.â
âYou had a year-end party? Who?â
â⦠⦠It was just me and guild leader Han Jae-young.â
Somehow.
When I recalled the wizards who didnât even approach me when they wanted to talk to me in the last dungeon, I wondered who would want to hold a year-end party.
âWell, HP Guild has many advantages. Itâs good for learning how to fight wizards, and most importantly, they donât skimp on item support. Of course⦠⦠.â
Shin Ji-eum winked.
âThatâs when you officially sign a contract with HP Guild. For now, think about it while youâre working as a social service worker.â
âYes, yes⦠⦠.â
âAh, and Jung Da-on Hunter! Jung Da-on Hunter will be taken care of by Guild Leader Han Jae-young.â
I was nervous, but I expected it.
âGuild Leader Han Jae-young has already written the schedule.â
âHuh?â
âAccording to the schedule⦠⦠I have to start training in the basement every morning at 9 AM. I heard that building up stamina comes first.â
â⦠⦠Where is Han Jae-young?â
Iâve been putting it off because it was annoying, but today seems to be the perfect time to destroy this fairy. I have to kill her without leaving even a single wing powder.
âYou went out on an outside business today. Thatâs why I came out.â
â⦠⦠⦠⦠â
âHahaha, but you even broke the program record. You seem to have talent for using your body, even though you hate it.â
âI hate it.â
Of course, I got help training during the last kidnapping incident, but I hate it.
Why bother moving my body when I have magic? Isnât that something only ignorant prosecutors do with their bodies?
âJung Da-on set a record? With what?â
âItâs a monster slaughter training program. Oh, and Pyeong-hwa will be doing it soon too.â
âRecord⦠⦠Yes, I understand!â
Lee Pyeong-hwa was somehow burning with a competitive spirit.
Iâm tired.
But then, it was.
Suddenly, I felt an unpleasant sensation.
â⦠⦠⦠⦠â
âExcuse me.â
Shin Ji-eum stepped forward before I could get up.
Shin Ji-eum strode towards the direction where she felt the unpleasant gaze and snatched the phone away.
The person whose phone was snatched shouted in surprise.
âWhat are you doing?!â
âDonât take pictures.â
âOh, I didnât take any.â
âShow me the gallery, then.â
âWhy should I⦠⦠.â
âIf you didnât take any pictures, Iâll deposit 10 million won right here and now.â
As expected, he was a Class A hunter, so he was generous.
Shin Ji-eum scanned the other person with sharp eyes.
In fact, Class A prosecutors are completely different in physique from ordinary people, so just getting close was quite a threat.
If he didnât have a cheerful demeanor, he was basically just a weapon.
âBut if you took pictures, you have to go to the police station with me right now. What do you want me to do?â
â⦠⦠Iâm sorry.â
Shin Ji-eum returned to me only after confirming that the photos on her phone had been completely deleted.
âThat damn SNS addiction⦠⦠Donât worry too much about it. Theyâre just attention seekers.â
Now that I think about it, Han Jae-young said something about being famous.
After returning to Korea, I definitely got my photos taken a lot.
Thatâs why I gave up on going out to eat with Jeong Da-jeong.
I donât think it was this bad after I just woke up.
Did the new battle video make people more interested in me?
â⦠⦠Hmm.â
I squinted my eyes.
Maybe thereâs a breakthrough here.
