“He's waiting. Let's go inside."

“He's in this room...”

“Yes.”

Freyce takes a big breath in Eric's answer. How many times have I been this nervous since I became deputy director of the CIA? The opposing Pokémon may not be nervous, but the person they're about to meet must be nervous.

You straighten the parakeet for a moment and nod to Eric holding the door hook. Eric opens the door.

The room with the door open looked like a big conference room. You asked yourself to prepare a briefing, so you've been waiting here to hear it.

“Hmm?"

Strange. No matter how much Fraze searches the room, he doesn't see a human being. I see Eric with a questionable face. Eric gestures to get inside without answering.

- Welcome.

You hear the old man's voice from the speakers installed in the room. Freys realizes at that moment that he is Glam.

“It's an honor to have you here. ”

Unlike the usual online report, I thought I could suddenly see my face by saying come to the mansion, but I just entered the mansion and I didn't want to show my face. Just thinking that the place had changed in the same situation as usual made me feel relaxed.

“You can do it there. ”

“Yes.”

Eric tells you where to brief him, and Fraze goes there and hardly briefs you on the materials he brought.

You don't know much.

Glaem's reckless words greatly diminish Fraze.

Even in front of the president, it didn't shrink like this, but it did for Glam. It doesn't mean that glem is more powerful than the president. But even if the president doesn't kill him, Glam can kill him.

He doesn't know anything about Fraze's growth process and his career since he became CIA, but Glam does know all about it, his weaknesses, and he will guarantee his old age after he left the CIA.

Glam was the one who pushed him to be deputy director of the CIA. If the president is the interim boss, Glam has to take the boss before Freys dies, so he has to shrink.

“I'm sorry, we haven't had much information since Operations went to Korea. ”

- Yes, thank you. Now go.

“Yes. Be well until next time, then. ”

Freys' way out is guided by someone other than Eric, and he heads straight for Glaem.

“Fools. I put my money in front of the NSA, the best intelligence agency in the world, and I put it at the head of the CIA, and all I got was this crap. ”

Freys wasn't the only one who briefed Glam. The NSA had a high-ranking executive who he raised with his money, and he was briefed, which was no different than what Freys had just brought in.

To summarize the information they brought:

- It has not been six months since religion was founded.

- The current leader is a 14-year-old girl named Jung Yoo-na. They are called ‘priests’.

- The Church is open. However, most of the funds used are being paid by a company called "Yedon" and the cost of constructing the temple is likely to be Kim Gun-young, chairman of "Yedon", based on the internal reserves of "Yedon".

- Kim Jin-seo, the son of Gun-young Kim, is in charge of the ministry. The priest seems to have no practical power, and it is likely that Kim Jin-seo is doing most of the work.

- Praying with the name 'Vitel’ improves your physical ability. No changes in the body.

- The number of Vitelians is estimated to be between 100,000 and 200,000, and they all have improved physical ability.

- Investigating who the real god is or who's capable of it. Given the power of the superpowers discovered so far, it is likely that it is a god.

“There's nothing definitive in the Middle Ages. They say these things are the best intelligence agencies in the world. ”

Of course I have to. I reported it on purpose.

Both NSA and CIA operations chiefs in Korea heard Vitel's voice. Therefore, when they both reported to the superiors, they reported what could be known, but they also reported what was important in a twist.

At the end, I definitely put in information that was likely to be God. Highlighting God increases your chances of not doing anything stupid at the top. Of course, even if the opponent is a god, he can do all kinds of stupid things.

For example, 'after the war between North and South Korea has been waged, it is well adjusted to turn South Korea into a wasteland, and then the United States rebuilds religion and uses it as they wish.’ Operation. In fact, this is a draft of an operation that the CIA Operations Team Leader had set up to see if Vitel was really new. I discarded it immediately after hearing Vitel's voice, without reporting it.

“It could really be God. Both the NSA and the CIA report show that both places are likely to be Gods. ”

“I told you, if there was a god, I'd be dead, too. ”

Eric agreed to that. But I changed my mind. Just when I told glem about Vitale, I thought I knew a few secret religions. However, it turns out that the number of believers is between 100,000 and 200,000. A psychic who can enhance all of their physical abilities? It can't be.

“Maybe it's a god who likes you. There's no way a superpowered person could have done something like this. You know how lame superpowers are. ”

There are superpowers in the world. But mostly it's "crap." The word ‘rubbish’ does not fit so well. Most abilities are to fit the back of a card or to fit without looking at the writing on the item in your hand. If a spoon can be bent, it is considered the highest level of superpower.

“You're a superpower, and you're too judgmental. ”

“I know more about superpowers. This ridiculous ability, this superpower, is impossible. ”

Eric is a superpower. That's why he was chosen at such a young age to be Glenm's best friend, so far, without being cleansed up.

“Your abilities are ridiculous compared to those of other superpowers. Just think of it as a superpower that has surpassed your level. ”

Eric's ability is mind-bending. He can do it just by looking at the power of a kilogram or less. It is not a bad ability, but it can not be compared to an ability that improves physical ability by more than 10% just by praying. Different dimensions, but different dimensions.

“If only there were more superpowers with different abilities, you'd understand, but this is not the middle. I feel like I've suddenly gone from the first floor stairwell to the 999th floor. ”

“You might think so. Look at this."

Glemm hands over one of the documents to Eric. Eric reads slowly. It was information I did not know. That's not weird, because he was Glenm's right arm, but he knew that Glenm had left, right, left legs, etc., which he didn't know. One of them must have brought in the information.

“The hypnotist?”

“How are you?”

“... What an ability. 100 percent. The ability to inflict pain, paralyze your body, or do whatever you want. If that's true, it's the best superpower that's ever been revealed. ”

“That's the proof. There's a Big Bang in Korea. ”

The Big Bang refers to the massive explosion that occurred when the universe was created, but that's not what Glenm is talking about right now. Eric readily understands what Glam is saying. Information that he was interested in because it was relevant to him/herself.

“You're talking about the Human Big Bang theory written by the CIA in 1980. ”

“Yes."

The Human Big Bang theory. There was a time when the CIA was working on multiple angles to cultivate superpowers. As one of the papers from that time, human evolution does not happen slowly, but it does cause a sudden change like the Big Bang rising up to make the universe.

It was later used as a basis for making all research into the superpowers unit. The Human Big Bang hasn't happened yet, so it's useless to study it.

After all, the paper stated that the parties to the Human Big Bang would have almost unimaginable power as a god.

“The Human Big Bang theory says that one Big Bang has a huge impact on the surroundings. This is the proof. Half a year of Vitellism, and less than half a year after that hypnotist started the activity. And a child named Jeong Yuna, a priest of Vitellism. Why is it that a 14-year-old girl who used to play ballet is the leader of the church and people are following her? ”

“So he's also a superpower...”

“Yes, that's right. The Bishop must be a party to the Human Big Bang, and the Priest must be a superpower discovered by the Bishop and entered the Church. The hypnotist is probably a superpower the Pope doesn't know yet. ”

“..... ”

Eric considers Glaem's words plausible. But I still felt bad about it. He also read the Human Big Bang theory. It clearly states that the parties in the Human Big Bang have God-like powers. But is it the power of the real God, as the Vitellist is showing us? Maybe he was exaggerating.

Of course, you can not confirm it. The author of the paper is dead.

“What do I do? ”

“I can't trust the CIA or the NSA anymore. You go find the Pope yourself. And get him. He's got God-like abilities, but if you see him hiding like this, it won't be long before he's dealt with properly. We have to catch him now. ”

Eric agrees with Glaem. It's hiding to feel threatened. In other words, the bishop is hiding because he thinks that if someone is targeting him, it can be dangerous.

“Go to Seoul. Both hypnotists and priests lived in Seoul six months ago. The Human Big Bang must have happened in Seoul. ”

“I understand.”

Eric heads for the U.S. Military. He then flew in an American military transport to Korea. U.S. military aircraft are not inspected by South Korea. So it was the best means of transportation for him and his troops to sneak into Korea without being seen by Korea.

But the eyes of their intelligence agency were inevitable. Especially Bensen's eyes, which were watching all the movements coming from the United States to Korea.

“Edric? Damn it. You're fucked.”

Bensen delivers the distorted information, but he can't hide the information that his physical abilities are getting stronger, so he knows that there will be some movement in the United States. That's why I was out in the open, and I never thought I'd be the first to get caught.

If the person on the government's side moves, it will move within a predictable framework, and if not with a lot of benzene, it will slow them down to some extent. And in the meantime, Vitellism has an influence that they can't easily touch by raising the rent.

If I was growing up in Vitale, that would be possible. Soon there will be millions of believers, and no one will be able to touch them easily.

But not Eric. Glen Marx is behind him, and his movements are unpredictable. They don't know what to do. Dangerous.

“I can't help it. I need to see him. ”

Bensen has decided to meet with Han Saeng.
