Somebody Stop the Pope – 176



Episode 176

5.

The performance of Lee Eun-taek a former member of North Korea’s Reconnaissance General Bureau and Leo’s unofficial disciple was far beyond expectations.

“Lee Eun-taek the heretic inquisitor of the Limen Church meets with His Holiness the Pope! Glory be to Limen!”

“Ah Brother Eun-taek. Thank you for your hard work. You’ve achieved results so quickly? I’ll tell Limen separately. A very talented person has joined the church. I want to tell you this.”

“It is an honor Your Majesty!”

“Yes. I received the report.”

This is the basement of a building located in Hadan-dong Saha-gu Busan.

I nodded lightly dusting off my hands.

And then Lee Eun-taek bows his head and asks me.

“But Your Majesty you could have come to the entrance comfortably… There is dirty dust on your noble body…”

“This one?”

In response to that question I pointed to the half-collapsed stairs with my finger and said with a smile.

“Who locked the door? I knocked but they didn’t open it.”

“aha.”

“So I just forced it open.”

“Your Majesty you are truly amazing!”

“Haha what do you mean by this?”

It was like a bomb suddenly exploding in the city but we had known this would happen and had already informed the government in advance.

When I spoke to Minister Yoo Seon-ho he said “Please take it easy.”

He added that he would ask for mercy if he had not committed a great sin.

Actually I wasn’t that worried I was thinking of adjusting it on my own.

Even though they are people who are doing business by selling the name of our church there must be people here who are genuinely curious about our church.

It is too harsh to apply strict standards to such people.

How can we be irritated at lost lambs and ask them why they are lost?

I smiled faintly and slowly looked around.

The interior of the building looked clean as if it had been recently redone.

Even though it was underground they had installed many pure white lights here and there and it seemed like they had put a lot of effort into creating a sacred atmosphere.

“Your Holiness the Pope?”

“huh?”

As I was looking around a young man with a blank expression on his face knelt down next to Lee Eun-taek.

“Really Pope Kim Si-woo… This is a dream….”

Faith blossoming from the body of a young man.

To my eyes I could clearly see the faith that had taken root in his body. However there was something murky and impure mixed in that faith.

A distorted and corrupted faith.

I could quickly tell that it was the work of some heretic who had taken up residence here.

First of all there is no evil deed detected through the will to destroy evil.

Decision made in 3 seconds.

He is an innocent victim.

“This is Brother Choi Sung-jae. He is a good man but he was taught the doctrine incorrectly. I hope the Pope will have mercy on him.”

“I will know when I see it. I understand.”

“And… most of the other personnel except for the executives are innocent.”

“We should start with the executives. I confirmed.”

“But Archbishop Leo…..”

“As expected of heretics there was a secret passage. So I told Leo to guard that passage.”

“Oh like that.”

“This kind of thing has to be done thoroughly.”

What Leo said to me as I was coming down to Busan was very impressive.

-Your Holiness heretics are like cancer cells. If you don’t quickly remove them they will grow and cause fatal damage to the religious order. There is only one way to prevent heretics from appearing. One strike one hundred strikes.

Leo is usually quite quiet but when something involving heresy occurs he changes completely.

A madness that even made Luna shake her head.

Maybe it’s because he’s from the Inquisition but he clearly shows the heretics what a ‘mad dog of the Vatican’ is like.

To be honest I couldn’t even make eye contact with Leo when we were coming down in the helicopter earlier.

If you pick a fight it looks like it will fold in half.

I looked at young man Choi Seong-jae and waved my hand lightly.

“I’ll talk about the details later when I get to the temple. I’ll finish up some work first and then come back. Is that okay?”

“Water of course!”

“The reason I came here today is because I heard that there are people here who are sullying the name of Limen. Brother Choi Sung-jae is also involved in it so he will not be able to avoid the investigation. But don’t worry too much.”

He took his knuckles out of his pocket.

And he smiled brightly as he put the knuckle on his right hand.

“If Brother Choi Seong-jae is without sin Archbishop Leo himself will instruct him in the correct faith.”

“…ah.”

“Mr. Lee Eun-taek go and gather the people together.”

“Understood Your Majesty.”

“Then let’s see each other later.”

Mr. Lee Eun-taek moved quickly taking young man Choi Seong-jae with him.

Maybe it’s because he came back from hell but his whole body is filled with energy.

I can kind of understand Leo’s rave reviews.

Even if Leo had come down himself he probably wouldn’t have been able to collect information in such an organized manner.

Because modern intelligence gathering is very different from the intelligence gathering in Eden.

I nodded my head in satisfaction as I watched the back of Lee Eun-taek walking away.

“Talent talent.”

I was really satisfied.

It was also satisfying to no longer be dependent on Eden and to be able to raise them on Earth.

It was because Eden’s situation was not good enough and I was concerned about continuing to take away talented people.

Self-sufficiency is always best.

If Raphael’s research continues wouldn’t it be possible to send Earth’s talents to other worlds in the future?

Well that’s a story that will be told after the situation on Earth stabilizes.

“Find the intruder first!”

“Stop letting the kids out! Most of them haven’t even finished their education yet.”

“What the heck is this…..”

My rambling didn’t last long.

Because people who appeared to be Awakened came running from inside.

They look like B-class hunters.

Although the average number of awakened hunters in South Korea has risen significantly these days it is not to the extent that B-class hunters are just gathering in neighborhood cults.

“Those are the guys that Brother Lee Eun-taek was talking about.”

This was clearly stated in the report.

The fact that the mysterious Awakened are in control within the center of these pseudo-beings.

Why on earth would there be such vile people in a religious group?

I could already guess from just looking at it that this place was created with bad intentions.

Moreover judging by the fact that their will to destroy evil is gradually rising they are all villains.

It’s not like the villains gathered here to atone for their sins.

And above all.

“They said it was made in Japan and it really was?”

No matter how much I think about it I can’t think of any reason why B-class hunters who speak Japanese would join a Korean cult group.

I walked forward with the corners of my mouth raised and spoke cheerfully to the guys running toward me.

“hi.”

Is that when you finally saw my face?

The fifteen or so Awakened people who had been rushing in with great momentum all stopped walking.

And among them the one with the most impressive shiny bald head pointed at me with his finger and said:

“Braku… Pop?”

“Do you know me?”

“There’s no way I wouldn’t know-.”

Kwaaaaaaaah.

I quickly approached him and struck his body. The bald man’s body went deep into the wall.

The air freezes in the blink of an eye.

I spread my arms wide enjoying the air.

“Thank you for understanding. Actually I asked because I was bored. Everyone just stay still. If you don’t resist I’ll knock you out cleanly. Okay? Let’s not bother each other.”

I want to finish quickly and have a bowl of noodles.

I think there used to be a noodle restaurant around here where I used to eat delicious noodles. Is it still in business?

6.

I slammed them all into the wall and walked towards the reception room where the guy called ‘The Prophet’ was.

How on earth did they come up with the title ‘prophet’?

I was very offended because it felt similar to the ‘prophet’ of our church.

Kwaaaaang.

The total time it took to enter the basement clear out the debris and enter the reception room was 2 minutes.

10 seconds to enter. 50 seconds to talk. 1 minute to wrap up.

As soon as I entered the room with the sign that said ‘Reception Room’ I frowned.

[Passive skill <Inviolable Lv.Max> suppresses hallucinations.]

Because the air in the room was extremely unpleasant.

White smoke was rising from the bowls placed here and there and no matter how you looked at it it seemed to be drugs.

Does this mean that the reception room is a place to receive Limen’s words?

What is a reception?

It seems to have been a place where brainwashing was carried out through drugs.

“It’s a basement so make sure to ventilate it a bit you little punks.”

It’s a fairly spacious place for an underground space.

I said looking at the four people sitting at the round table in the middle of the room.

Were they having a meeting in this atmosphere?

The guys were frozen in that position and I strode towards them.

And then he stopped next to a middle-aged man sitting at the head of the table.

“Get out of the way.”

“yes?”

“Get out of the way.”

“Yes yes.”

The middle-aged man gave up his seat in a hurry.

I nodded as I sat down in the chair he was sitting in.

“Are you a prophet?”

“yes….”

“Do you know who I am?”

“Yes….”

“Sit next to me. Everyone one seat to the side.”

At my command the guys moved in unison. They each moved a space to the side to make room for the so-called prophet.

They were guys who knew that life was precious.

It seems that they instinctively realized what kind of future awaited them if they did not follow my instructions.

I placed the knuckles I was wearing on the table. Then I looked around at the guys and said.

“Why did I come here today? There is a special prize for the person who guesses correctly. Answers are given on a first-come first-served basis. If you are late….”

The one who responded actively to my problem was none other than the ‘prophet’.

The guy raised his hand urgently.

“I… I will answer.”

“It’s really nice to see you being proactive. Okay answer me.”

“It seems you have come to accuse us of our sins.”

“Sin? What sin did you commit?”

Then the prophet suddenly fell to his knees and began to weep.

“You have arbitrarily distorted the Bible of Limen and tarnished the name of the Limen Church.”

“That’s right. He’s a guy who knows how to reflect on his own sins. I should give him a special award.”

“Thank you… Kkaaaaaaaaaah!”

Wood thud thud.

“The special prize is the right arm lollipop. Do you like it? Isn’t it sweet?”

I curled the guy’s right arm into a ball.

The guy’s right arm rolled up into a circle like a lollipop.

It was quite unusual as it looked like there was a lollipop hanging from its shoulder.

Perhaps because the amount of bleeding was controlled through divine power the lollipop shape looked quite plausible.

“I have a lot of questions for you today including the fact that you’re doing business with criminals from Japan. I thought you were just guys who were simply selling the name of our religious order. But the scale is a bit bigger than I thought.”

I stretched while admiring the faces of the rest of the guys who had turned pale.

“If you’re going to do something bad it’s better to do it on a large scale. If you get caught you’re going to die anyway right?”

Still there was one brave man among them.

A man with athletic hair who had been glancing at one wall of this ‘welcoming room’ for a while now.

I don’t know where he picked it up but he was wearing a black priest’s robe.

I spoke to him in a suggestive tone.

“You little punk how can you be so blatant about having a secret passage? But I admire your courage to run away from me. So I’ll give you a special chance.”

“Are you talking about this opportunity?”

“Run away. I won’t chase you. I swear on Limen’s name.”

Then the guy rolled his eyes and his head along with them.

And 30 seconds after I started thinking about it.

“thank you!”

The guy got up from his seat and ran into the secret passage in the blink of an eye.

Kwaaang.

He was in such a hurry that he just ran through the wall.

But after a while the guy came back into the reception room.

It has also become a ‘human ball’.

It was obvious whose work that ‘ball’ was.

“Leo you must have been impressed by my work last time.”

This is a much more complete version of the ball I made using racists last time as it is said to be a blue chip.

A person can survive even in that position.

As they say life is great. It’s very tenacious.

I nodded in satisfaction and spoke to the trembling men.

“Okay then shall we start the interrogation?”

Our Pope please stop this
