Somebody Stop the Pope – 192



Episode 192

62. I’m the crazy one in this area

1.

The power of Cheon Ja-hyeon who revealed himself as Cheon Ma was truly powerful.

A man who reigned as the supreme ruler of a world. The power of that man who wielded a strange and ominous aura called ‘Cheonmagi’ was beyond my ability to handle.

So the development of having to surrender to him and hand over the entire Limen sect… did not happen.

“Hit me one more time.”

“How could I dare to be so rude to my brother who is as good as heaven? From now on I will be your sworn brother for life…”

“How many more hits do you need to get your shitty speech corrected? Maybe five?”

“No! No sir. I’ve been living in the other world for 20 years so I’m still not comfortable with Korean… Huh? I think I’ve been speaking in the Central Plains language up until now but how did you understand?”

“Are you curious about that now?”

“yes!”

“That’s because it doesn’t fit well. Let’s just fit a little more.”

It only took one minute to subdue the self-proclaimed ‘Cheonma’.

Clearly the power this guy possessed was enough to be called an irregular.

A mysterious and powerful aura.

It was an energy that he had revealed to be ‘Cheonmagi’ and it was definitely of an incredible level.

But why did this result come about?

To conclude the compatibility between Cheonmagi and divine power was very poor.

That too terribly.

I don’t know the exact reason. It might be because the energy called Cheonmagi has many similarities to magic.

Anyway I succeeded in cooking ‘Cheonma’ deliciously by taking advantage of its overwhelming compatibility.

Phew phew.

“Then why are you making a fuss and throwing a tantrum? What the hell.”

I ground my teeth as I kicked the Thousand Characters whose energy was sealed by divine power.

That attack earlier? If it had been another Awakened person instead of me I would have died.

It’s like they openly attacked me to kill me but these guys don’t listen to words.

“Please! I will listen to you.”

“No I know guys like you. You have to be beaten until you stop saying things like that.”

“….”

“This kid won’t even open his mouth anymore? That’s even more true.”

“Kkaaaaaaah!”

It was even more frustrating to think that I almost didn’t see my family again.

I’ve been hitting on the guy for a long time since then.

I kept hitting him until Director Kim came running worried that I might kill him.

“Pope Kim Si-woo! If you keep doing this people will die.”

At Director Kim’s appearance Cheon Ja-hyeon who had been curled up just a moment ago quickly got up. Then she quickly hid behind Director Kim.

“Please spare my life. This murderer is trying to kill me! It’s been 20 years… I’ve only been back on Earth for 20 years so it would be too unfair for me to die like this! Mr. Civil Servant will you protect me?”

It was the miserable fall of the Cheonma who had appeared at the gate with all kinds of bravado.

I spoke to Director Kim who was blocking me.

“He won’t die like that anyway.”

“yes?”

“Even if you drop him from the 63 Building he’ll probably survive. Didn’t you see that before? He’s floating in the air. Those guys don’t die after getting hit a few times.”

As I strode towards him Cheon Ja-hyeon grabbed Director Kim’s trouser leg and shouted.

“I will use my power for the Republic of Korea! So please stop that crazy guy!”

Then this time Director Kim answered.

“Mr. Cheon Ja-hyeon.”

“yes!”

“Do you think I can stop him Mr. Cheon Ja-hyeon?”

“no.”

“Still I’ll try.”

He is truly an amazing guy.

Just a while ago he was bragging about how he was the king of a world and that he was eating up the Central Plains but all he does is hide behind someone weaker than him and ask for protection.

…When I think about it that way I can’t help but think he’s really something special.

Does honor as a supreme being mean nothing in the face of life?

At that age pride would be more important than anything else.

It’s a real cockroach-like survival instinct.

Should we say that it’s not that I survived because I was strong but rather that I became strong because I survived? This is how I gain another enlightenment.

“Pope Kim Si-woo the one who attacked first was the returnee Cheon Ja-hyeon but shouldn’t he at least let them see their families’ faces?”

Director Kim definitely knew me well.

Director Kim who touches on the emotional side rather than persuading logically.

I’ve come to realize that when it comes to persuading people like me emotions work better than logic.

He is a truly capable person.

If I were to beat Cheon Ja-hyeon to death here while saying things like that I would be the one who crushed the hopes of those who are desperately waiting for their families to return.

There’s nothing I can do.

I shrugged my shoulders and spoke to Cheon Ja-hyeon who was peeking at me from behind Director Kim.

“If I had resisted even a little bit I would have really died. You’re lucky Cheonma.”

Then Cheon Ja-hyeon suddenly jumped out next to Director Kim. Then he suddenly bowed to me and said.

“Thank you so much for forgiving me brother! It’s a celestial horse! Actually it’s not a celestial horse.”

“Isn’t it a heavenly horse?”

“Yes! Actually I was a minor cult leader. I didn’t rise to the position of cult leader. The master was still alive and well…”

“You are the 32nd leader of the Cheonmasin Church and the 3rd Cheonmas?”

“I was told that he was the 32nd leader of the Cheonmasin Church and was destined to become the 3rd Cheonmas. I misspoke.”

“Then you should have just said Cheonma (Jin). You almost misunderstood. Then your teacher?”

“Yes that’s right! The 31st leader of the Cheonmasin Church and the 2nd Cheonmas he was my teacher! He was the leader and the Cheonmas of the time.”

…The crazy guy has crawled back to Earth again.

Should I say it’s fortunate that he’s moderately crazy? Last time the crazy guy who returned with the magic sword caused a ruckus by threatening to kill everyone.

At least we can communicate to this extent so it’s fortunate.

“How did you get back?”

“I suffered from homesickness for 20 years. The Master took pity on me and let me go. I am truly grateful to him.”

‘Cheonma (Jin)’ who suffered from homesickness… is quite the pain.

I looked at the guy and sighed deeply. Then I said to Director Kim.

“Director Kim.”

“Yes please speak.”

“Just in case I won’t remove the seal on this guy’s energy. I think you can take him to Seoul in this condition. Have you contacted his family?”

“We contacted you as soon as we found out about your identity.”

“How was it?”

“Mr. Cheon Ja-hyeon’s mother received a phone call and as soon as she heard the news she burst into tears. She asked where she could go to see her son… So for now she is being taken to the headquarters of the Department of Extraterrestrial Intelligence. The same goes for the other family members.”

When I got back Inwook was sleeping and couldn’t answer the phone.

Come to think of it it’s annoying again?

As soon as I get home today I have to tease Inwook.

I looked at Cheon Ja-hyeon bowing towards me and thought for a moment.

“I changed my mind.”

“which….”

“Let me just go with you. Isn’t that okay?”

“That’s not true. But why all of a sudden….”

“I had a good idea.”

I thought that if I did well I could secure useful workers… no human resources.

I looked at Cheon Ja-hyeon’s swollen face and raised the corners of my mouth.

An irregular-level returnee who rolled in like a vine?

I can’t stand this.

2.

I took Cheon Ja-hyeon and headed straight to the headquarters of the Department of Ability Management.

Take a flight from Jeju Island to Incheon then go straight there by car.

Until now the story of an irregular-level returnee appearing was a confidential matter.

After all the Irregular judgment is something that can only be done by going directly to the Ability Management Department and having your powers measured.

But perhaps because I was right next to him Cheon Ja-hyeon obediently followed my instructions all the way to the headquarters of the Department of Ability Management.

A hidden secret?

There was no such thing.

just.

“Meeting you as soon as I returned was a great blessing in my life.”

The endless flattery.

But maybe because I’m a bit of a hand person I don’t use words like ‘your majesty’ or any other strange expressions.

As expected there is nothing like physical force to correct speech.

If Director Kim sticks his tongue out you can probably guess how much Cheon Ja-hyeon is flattering him.

So the vehicle we were in arrived at the Ability Management Department and we headed straight to the reception room where Cheon Ja-hyeon’s family was waiting.

As we entered the reception room we saw Cheon Ja-hyeon’s family.

A middle-aged couple who appeared to be in their late 50s and a woman in her early 20s with swollen eyes.

“Ja-hyeon Ja-hyeon.”

“Father mother younger brother.”

It was a moment of reunion.

Cheon Ja-hyeon’s family members including Cheon Ja-hyeon all shed tears and hugged each other.

Still it seems like the family was on good terms.

I took a step back and enjoyed the emotional moment of reunion.

The family reunion I had been waiting for was just like that.

“Thank you. I’m so grateful that you came back alive.”

“father.”

“How much trouble did you have? Really… I’m just grateful. I’m grateful that you came back safely.”

“…I’m sorry I’m back late.”

“No Ja-hyeon. We’re just happy that you came back like this. Okay?”

There is nothing that can interrupt the emotional reunion of families.

I gave Director Kim a quick glance and Director Kim nodded slowly as well.

There are probably countless stories to share among family members.

This is an important moment so let’s not interrupt.

Director Kim and I quietly went outside.

“Still I’m really glad.”

“What is it?”

“I can’t tell you how fortunate I am that there were families waiting for the return of Cheon Ja-hyeon.”

A person who has something to protect cannot easily give up.

It varies from person to person but usually the people who fall to the worst are those who have nothing left to lose.

I could fully understand what Director Kim was saying.

Because I was the same way.

What if when I returned to Earth both In-wook and Si-yeon were no longer in this world?

I hate to even imagine that case but if that had happened… I can’t even imagine what would have happened to me.

One thing is certain it would have been different than it is now.

“There will be some tests conducted on the returnee of Cheon Ja-hyeon. Raphael has provided the Korean government with a special measuring device. We will try to use it this time.”

“Raphael is very talented.”

“Yes. I think this will be a great help in identifying irregulars.”

Director Kim smiling.

It’s a moment when we have one more irregular in South Korea so of course we can’t help but feel good.

It will probably be judged as irregular without a hitch.

There is no doubt about that.

Cheon Ja-hyeon could be seen as a warrior far superior to Wang Wei.

If only his divine power and compatibility weren’t so bad he could probably last an hour against me.

In these turbulent times the rise of irregulars is something to be welcomed with open arms.

However this only applies when the irregulars are cooperative with the government.

What if they are uncooperative and hostile? There is no greater disaster than that.

About 30 minutes had passed since Director Kim and I sat on the chairs in front of the reception room and chatted about this and that.

The door to the reception room opened and Cheon Ja-hyeon’s father who I had seen earlier came out.

He bowed toward us and expressed his gratitude.

“Thank you so much for bringing my son. I was so flustered earlier that I couldn’t express my gratitude properly.”

“No we didn’t do anything in particular.”

“…I never thought my son who I thought was dead would come back like this…”

Cheon Ja-hyeon’s father who is unable to continue speaking.

It looked like he was trying hard to hold back tears.

I can feel that he really loves his son.

“If it’s okay would you like to come in? My wife and daughter would also like to express our gratitude to Pope Kim Si-woo…”

“To me?”

“Yes. In fact the place where my son went missing was Ground Zero in Seoul. I visited the holy site of the Limen Church every time and prayed earnestly… and this miracle happened.”

It’s nice to hear that.

“Oh is that so?”

“My wife often prays at the temple of the Limen sect.”

“Oh you are a member of our church.”

Are there any such coincidences?

I nodded barely able to hide the corners of my lips that kept rising.

If you do it right you can eat it raw.

Our Pope please stop this
