Chapter 243
Episode 243 [ What the Doppelganger Wants (3) ]
[Today, President Lippard of the United States officially ordered the withdrawal of American troops.]
News from the United States that the war was over took the whole world by storm.
Although communication with each other was becoming increasingly difficult, satellite and optical cables were still maintained. The article sent from the United States surprised many countries around the world.
[The U.S. government announced that the hatred against awakened people that had been spreading among Americans was brainwashing created by monsters. Work is underway to break brainwashing, starting in the eastern United States. This work was done by Dahee, a Korean awakened person….]
Moreover, the article contained even more surprising content.
The reason America started the war was because of the brainwashing of monsters across the country. Before the monsters appeared, no one would have believed it.
I didn’t include EV and Kyung-hoon’s help in the presentation because I thought it would arouse people’s suspicion, but there were many people who didn’t believe the presentation just because Dahee, a Korean awakener, was treating them.
Not only abroad but also within the United States.
In particular, those who still harbored hatred for the Awakened took to the streets with guns.
Protests and riots continued everywhere.
That wasn’t the only problem.
The monsters in the United States that had been quiet for so long began to move.
The withdrawal of the army had no choice but to become faster.
There was quite a bit of confusion within the military, but because he had escaped brainwashing to some extent, he was able to move quickly when he heard that his homeland was in danger.
American troops began to rapidly exit South America.
Even after seeing the American soldiers leaving without an apology, those left behind could not say anything.
In fact, some people asked the departing American soldiers to stay.
Now they had to stop the monsters in a land where both the army and the awakened had disappeared.
*
Rio de Janeiro.
Like other cities, Brazilian cities that had been occupied by American forces were liberated again.
Wow!
People took to the streets to welcome the marching soldiers and awakened people.
White paper was sprayed onto the streets and women jumped out to kiss the soldiers.
The Awakened and the South American Allied Forces walked between them.
Although it was a victory march, the expressions on the faces of the soldiers and awakened people were not very bright.
“It’s not just the Awakened. “The people welcoming us don’t look good either.”
Sonya looked around at Vasily’s words.
There were people who were genuinely happy, but there were many more who had complicated expressions.
Fear was hiding behind a forced smile.
Unlike the awakened people who risked their lives to fight, they first raised a white flag and surrendered to the U.S. military.
You could say that there was nothing they could do because they were civilians, but in the eyes of the awakened and soldiers, they had no choice but to look like traitors.
They knew that too.
“I think it will take a long time to get back to its original form.”
Sonya sighed softly. She didn’t like it either.
But she shook her head.
I don’t know what other people would do, but she shouldn’t have felt that way. It was a place that was preserved through the sacrifices of Marcelo and countless others.
And I couldn’t make that kind of expression in front of the people who came to help me.
EV awakeners, including Vasily, who came through the portal, were moving together.
It was a small number compared to the wide South American continent, but in the current situation where the number of awakened people was insufficient, I was just thankful.
Vasily saw an armored vehicle abandoned on the side of the road. The U.S. military star mark remained on the armored vehicle.
“I’m glad though. I thought I was going to fight the US military…”
Fighting monsters wasn’t easy, but fighting humans was even harder. ”
But how on earth did they solve it? It couldn’t have been done by fighting…”
Suddenly, the US military What was more absurd than saying he was withdrawing was that it was Kyung-hoon who solved the problem.
Although it was not officially known, Kyung-hoon no longer hid what he had done from those around him.
Vasily also did not know Kyung-hoon’s skills as he had fought alongside him. But this wasn’t a matter that could be solved by force.
Vasily’s words reminded Sonya of a recent incident.
The man who single-handedly destroyed the army. And the words he left behind.
He was not EV’s enforcer, but EV itself. .
“Something different is just as great as strength.”
Currently, Kyung-hoon was touring the United States with Da-hee.
The United States was full of chaos.
Terrorism, riots, and the appearance of monsters were occurring frequently, and there was no one more suitable as Da-hee’s bodyguard than Kyung-hoon. While
the two were talking, the event ended. A
monster’s scream was heard from the side of the mountain where the statue of Christ with open arms was located.
“
Kwaaaa!”
People screamed and ran into the building.
Soldiers loaded their guns and the awakened people grabbed spears and swords.
“Are they now monsters instead of American soldiers?”
Sonya muttered as she looked at the large statue of the savior. Many sacrifices had been made, but the suffering was still not over. It
was then.
“It’s better to be a monster. We’ll solve it.”
Vasily put his hand on the headset and said,
“Special ops team on the move!”
At his words, the team members rushed forward.
EV elite awakeners wearing black body armor gathered next to him.
Doo doo doo doo.
Special operations team 2, commonly known as Vasily’s team, boarded a helicopter that had already flown in and flew to the mountain.
The helicopter Sonya was flying in. I looked at it.
Salvation has not yet come, but there were people who reached out to help.
Marcelo’s sacrifice was not meaningless. No, it could not be made meaningless.
Sonya shouted with all her mana.
“The event ends here. ! Let’s go into action right away. Let’s take out the monsters and save the people!”
“yes!”
The answers of the awakened and soldiers echoed throughout the city.
***
Preparations for the victory ceremony were in full swing in Moscow.
However, unlike Rio de Janeiro, the event in Moscow had a more enjoyable and bright atmosphere.
The monsters that had come from southern Siberia were retreating in disarray after the death of the monarch in the Daxing’anling Mountains.
The monarch monster that was trying to move north toward the Black Sea died in Iran, and the monsters that were sweeping Europe had not yet crossed over to Eastern Europe.
Monsters from the north were still plaguing Russia, but these monsters had been dealt with before.
Although the fight is not over yet, Russia has reason to be happy.
And when the Awakened and the Eurasian Allied Forces stopped by Moscow, they couldn’t help but hold a welcome event.
It was an army moving to end the fighting in Manchuria and help Europe.
There were still monsters left, but they were all busy running away. There was no need for many soldiers or awakened people there.
Chii Iik.
The Trans-Siberian train stopped at Moscow station.
Many people were waiting on the platform where the train stopped.
When the train stopped, many soldiers and awakened people got off the train.
They were all Eurasian Allied Forces from Manchuria.
An awakened person also got off the front compartment of the train.
A female awakener wearing a black body armor with moving patterns all engraved on it. It was an EV special operations team.
The middle-aged man who had been waiting at the front walked forward and held the awakened person in his arms.
“Welcome.”
Rosalia smiled at President Bykov’s words.
“I’m back.”
Click, click, click.
Flashes went off everywhere.
A hug from the President and his daughter, a national hero. There was no way reporters could have missed this sight.
“I’m sure this isn’t just a greeting for a photo shoot, right?”
After the hug, Rosalia said with a pout.
“ha ha ha.”
President Bykov burst into laughter at Rosalia’s words.
Rosalia was getting brighter every day. I was worried because he said she would do something dangerous, but his daughter was becoming a wonderful adult on her own.
President Bykov walked with his daughter and looked around.
I couldn’t see the face I always saw.
“Vasily?”
“I went to South America.”
The President nodded at Rosalia’s words. As the president of Russia, he knew very well how the situation was going.
“I was worried that we might fight with the military, but they said we could just clean up after ourselves. “I’m so glad.”
“okay. “I’m so glad.”
The father’s voice as he answered his daughter’s words was filled with sincerity.
He was also tired of what had happened recently. It was because of EV, no, Kyung-hoon’s declaration that he would fight against the United States.
Thanks to its alliance with EV, Russia had to threaten the United States with nuclear weapons.
The Eurasian Union and the Russian people may have felt relieved, but he had to break out in a cold sweat for fear that a nuclear war would break out.
Fortunately, it ended well, but now I was worried about how I would treat K or Kyung-hoon again.
Now that he had revealed his identity, there was no way to know where EV would go.
He asked his daughter secretly.
“How about Kay?”
“He is truly amazing.”
When asked about Kay, Rosalia’s eyes sparkled with respect. Time passed, but Rosalia’s expression did not change.
The President breathed a sigh of relief. It didn’t seem like I was looking at the wrong person.
“Oh right. “I will introduce you to the other executors later.”
“Other enforcers?”
He also knew the newly appeared executioner. An awakened person called a cowboy who wears a helmet and wields a machine gun.
But he was alone.
‘A new executioner has appeared?’
According to Gyeong-hoon’s words, it is unlikely that there is a hidden executive branch, but awakened people he has never seen before keep popping up.
It seemed like there were still a lot of secrets left between Kyunghoon and EV.
“I’m with my teammates. “I will introduce you after the event.”
Rosalia had to come forward because she was Russia’s national hero and treasure, but other EV awakeners preferred not to show their faces in public.
Moreover, there were no executors to speak of.
After Rosalia disappeared from the station with the President and the people, people began to come out of the compartment where she got off.
Although there was a high proportion of women, they were soldiers wearing ordinary military uniforms.
A civil servant who acted as a guide approached the soldiers.
“We have prepared a bus. “I will guide you to a place to rest.”
These were all awakened members of the EV Special Operations Team.
Unlike other soldiers and awakened soldiers on a victory march, the EV Special Operations Team had been on vacation.
Everyone followed the Russian with happy faces, and there was a man watching him from afar.
“You’re lucky. The executioner also followed.”
He smiled when he saw the helmets among the soldiers.
The expressionless face and the raised lips that looked like drawings looked very strange.
“The President will be leaving soon.”
“Okay. “Go right away.”
He took a step toward his subordinate’s words.
As he turned, he made eye contact with another soldier who had not yet left the station.
It was a soldier looking at him with a questioning expression.
Looking at his clothes and face, he seemed to be a Korean awakened person.
He passed the soldier with an expressionless face.
Anyway, thanks to my hard face, I received strange looks more than once.
I had important work ahead of me, but I didn’t have time to worry about the little things.
*
The Russians were moving further and further away.
Youngcheol stood there and glared at the Russian who was walking away.
“What’s going on?”
Gyu-kyung came over and asked.
Yeongcheol was deep in thought with a serious expression on his face.
“Do you know someone?”
“well. “It’s my first time seeing you, but…”
“But what’s wrong? Everyone is waiting.”
Seol-yeon and the Korean awakeners were waiting for him at the front.
They were all Korean awakeners from the European Expeditionary Force.
When Young-cheol saw Seol-yeon, he immediately turned his head.
No matter how much she did not look into her heart, he was not nervous any more than he knew that she was a telepathic awakener. I had no choice but to say,
“I guess it won’t work out. I’ll be back for a bit.”
With those words, Youngcheol kicked the ground. He ran in the direction where the Russian disappeared.
“Oh, wait a minute!”
Gyu-Gyu sighed. He was an awakened person who couldn’t handle it at all.
That’s why he came here and even went to Europe. It seems like his life has gone awry lately.
Seol-yeon came up next to Gyu-Gyu who was sighing.
“Follow me . “I think I should take a look. It’s obviously important.”
Because of the distance and a strong closed mind, he couldn’t really know, but he could vaguely feel it.
It was something very important for Jeong-Gyu to feel.
“It’s getting more and more Taesan.”
Gyu-jeong sighed once again and ran to the place where Yeong-cheol had disappeared.
