Somebody Stop the Pope – 260



Episode 260

5.

“Okay so you’re saying all the members on that list are correct?”

“Yes yes.”

“Did you send people from Baekmyeonggyo to threaten those who refused to take bribes?”

“Yes yes that’s right.”

“Those who acted as henchmen themselves. Are the people listed here the ones whose crimes you think are particularly bad?”

“Of course. There is not a single lie!”

“I’ll trust you once.”

I nodded in satisfaction patting Seokdaeman on the back.

After the first rebellion Seok Dae-man’s interrogation went very smoothly.

He was a weakling with low tolerance for pain.

Despite my bravery I tried to help him a few times and he opened his mouth easily.

Besides I was also very pleased with the quality of the interrogation.

Why?

“You said you were a henchman so I’ll trust you for once.”

“I I… Who would lie that I’m safe? Would you lie?”

Because this guy included himself in the ‘front liner’.

It’s common to see people try to leave out their own names as much as possible.

This guy doesn’t have anything like that.

He’s ready to give me his liver and gallbladder.

There’s a guy there who’s very greedy so it might be inevitable that he would fall for Baekmyeonggyo.

“If you had just told me this from the beginning we wouldn’t have had to blush right?”

“I deeply regret this. I apologize again.”

“Regret alone is not enough.”

I nodded as I sat back down on my chair staring at the stone pedestal.

Seok Dae-man looks startled and averts his gaze.

The effect is definitely there.

I like it.

“The sin of bringing Baekmyeonggyo back to South Korea is not something that can be easily washed away. It is by no means a light sin as it has thrown countless people into chaos.”

Seok Dae-man stuttered and answered my question.

“Then… how can I sin….”

“There are things that politicians are really good at right?”

“what….”

“What do I want now? I think you can easily guess what it is right?”

Seok Dae-man quickly starts thinking.

In this situation I desperately search for the answer I want most.

“Press conference. I will hold a press conference right away and apologize to the public.”

As expected time cannot be ignored.

That’s exactly the answer I was looking for. But it’s 2 percent short.

“Is the public apology the end?”

“I will announce this list myself! That way I can atone for even a little of the sins I have committed…”

“That’s the right position.”

As expected you’re quick-witted.

Seok Dae-man who comes up with the answer on his own without any pressure.

I just smiled at that stone pedestal.

“We communicate so well with each other. Is this what they call telepathy?”

“Yes! That’s right!”

“I will take good care of the Baekmyeong Cult’s revenge. After the public announcement you can take your family and spend some time at the holy ground. Then when I clean up Baekmyeong Cult you can go to prison.”

Seok Dae-man flinches at the word prison.

“Or else I’ll just stay stuck here.”

“No that’s not true! If you commit a crime you should be punished.”

“good.”

Baek Myeong-gyo returns to South Korea in one piece just like he did before.

This is the principle I have established.

“The ruling party has already completed all preparations. How about announcing it through a joint press conference between the ruling and opposition parties?”

This is not a recommendation.

It is an order.

And Seok Dae-man who knew that well nodded his head vigorously.

“yes!”

“I like it.”

A huge scandal involving Baek Myeong-gyo and the political world.

The driving force behind the rapid expansion of Baekmyeonggyo’s influence is revealed through a public announcement.

The downfall of these guys begins at this point.

“The press conference is in four hours from now.”

“4 4 hours later?”

“We shouldn’t give the Baekmyeonggyo guys time to respond. Representative Kim Seok-hoon is probably being persuaded by Archbishop Lapart. I just contacted the ruling party so don’t worry.”

It will be an unprecedented scandal that will shake South Korea.

An incident worthy of being called Baekmyeonggyo Gate.

But this is just the beginning.

I will erase everything about Baekmyeonggyo in this country and push it out.

Now that the ancient gods are manifesting all over the world.

We must definitely secure at least a minimal safety zone.

“I see you’re usually friendly with reporters… Can you do well?”

Then Seok Dae-man nodded earnestly.

“Trust me! I promise to stake my name on this stone statue!”

“You’re so brave.”

Seok Dae-man harbored a deep fear of Baek Myeong-gyo.

There is only one way to take away the fear from a person who only cares about himself and an evil person who will do anything to succeed.

Instilling greater fear.

If things get any worse from here I might pass judgment on you myself.

Some might call me arrogant for wanting to judge the wicked directly but to be honest I don’t really care.

Bad guys should be punished.

But this time I was given a chance to atone for my sins even if only a little.

Isn’t this generous enough?

“I have to go to a press conference later but I’m a bit hurt.”

I nodded slowly as I looked at the scars and bruises carved into Seokdae’s body.

This won’t do.

If someone saw me they’d think I was a torturer.

Woof woof woof.

It raises divine power and heals external wounds and bruises.

“Okay.”

In particular the blood on his clothes was purified and Seokdaeman returned to the state he was in before entering the interrogation room.

A neat gentleman.

I checked his physical condition and nodded with satisfaction.

“This should be enough. Right?”

“…Yes yes.”

“But why have I been shaking all this time? My stomach is going to explode.”

“I will make sure not to tremble.”

“If someone saw you they’d think I treated you beat you and treated you again. Did I really do that to you?”

At that question Seok Dae-man shut his eyes tightly and shouted.

“No! The Pope just told me about the sins I committed!”

“That’s it.”

This is a person who is truly worth rehabilitating.

In this way preparations to deal a blow to Baek Myeong-gyo were completed.

Now all that’s left is to watch Baek Myeong-gyo’s reaction while eating popcorn.

I nodded with satisfaction patting Seokdaeman on the back.

6.

Four hours later.

The National Assembly of the Republic of Korea was convened in emergency session and the results of the convocation were immediately announced through a press conference.

-…These 72 members of the National Assembly received bribes and other special privileges from Baek Myeong-gyo and in return carried out parliamentary activities in their favor. The National Assembly of the Republic of Korea has published this list to prove to the people that it still has self-correcting functions.

What was public opinion?

Of course it burned.

“The unprecedented religious scandal in South Korea’s history!”

“Were we headed towards the new Republic of Korea?”

“The Baekmyeonggyo sect which tried to swallow up the political world by avoiding connections with the political world as much as possible. The light and shadow of religion.”

“President Seo Shin-woo said ‘I feel a great sense of sorrow and heavy responsibility at this announcement from the National Assembly. I hope that this opportunity will lead to a healthier National Assembly of the Republic of Korea.’”

The emergence of a new massive religious group called Baekmyeonggyo has thrown a new topic into the already hectic Republic of Korea.

Politics and religion.

South Korea was turned upside down in an instant by the news of a scandal between two groups that had been inseparable from the beginning.

Baek Myeong-gyo was not giving an answer easily perhaps because they did not expect that we would move so boldly.

Thanks to this the firewood on the Internet was set ablaze.

<Title: Reevaluation of the Limen Church Season 13213146>

Content: The Limen sect silently watched over the Baekmyeonggyo who were spreading bribes and continued to do good deeds. Just -Limen-… I have to go to the temple and pray today too.

-The Limen Church is really great isn’t it obvious that something that big would become corrupt?

-Think of the Pope and his sister and the folder seat. Those people are holding on and committing corruption? Isn’t that a new way of suicide?

└I think it would be better to spread honey all over your body and poke the beehive.

└Look at the malicious lickers gone lol

-Is that the cheetah laughing or something?

└Limen-nim is always smiling brother. How about welcoming Limen-nim on this occasion?

Thinking that this was the moment all the people who had been criticizing the Limen Church also took this bait.

Criticism of Baek Myung-gyo continued all over the Internet and media outlets that defended Baek Myung-gyo were subjected to terror attacks by angry mobs.

What are you most excited about during this situation?

Anyone who saw it could tell it was the Sejong Ilbo.

In particular reporter Seo who is also a member of our church began to publish articles without rest.

“Go around and around and come back to Limen!”

“The good deeds that the Limen Church has kept hidden until now.”

Reporter Seo started churning out articles almost like a factory.

He wrote articles without rest as if to prove his fervent faith.

“Public opinion was captured in an instant.”

Leo smiled faintly as he checked the reactions on the Internet.

It’s been a long time since I’ve seen Leo smile like that. Was he worried that there were people who were badmouthing our church?

“It’s just the beginning so what?”

This is not all we have prepared.

The drug ‘Repentance’ secretly distributed by Baekmyeonggyo.

If evidence is secured regarding this medicine I plan to give it to you as an additional treatment.

So that those guys can never get up again.

There’s just one thing that’s bothering me.

“Protestants and Buddhists secured awakened people through Baekmyeonggyo but is there any information about them yet?”

“We are mobilizing the Inquisitors to investigate the information but it will likely take some time.”

“I don’t feel good.”

If Baek Myeong-gyo approached politics through means including bribery he approached established religions through the sweet fruit of power.

To be honest that’s the biggest variable in the current situation.

Baekmyeonggyo’s baptized members who mixed in with established religions.

Can we really trust them?

“I would rather trust a cat with a fish in front of it.”

They too will cause trouble someday.

I frowned slightly as I stroked my chin.

“Still it is certain that I have dealt a blow to Baekmyeonggyo…”

Woohoo.

That was when.

The smartphone on the desk vibrated. It was a call from an unsaved number.

“hello.”

As soon as I picked up the phone I heard a familiar voice on the other end.

– I have received the gift from the Limen Church Pope Kim Si-woo. It is such a precious gift that I don’t know where to put it.

The young girl’s youthful voice.

I could tell right away that the owner of that voice was the Archbishop of Baekmyeong Church.

“I didn’t know what you’d like so I put in a lot. What do you think? Do you like it?”

-Because of you South Korea will be thrown into chaos.

“It’s not because of me. If you had been satisfied with northern China from the beginning this wouldn’t have happened.”

-We fully understand the position of the Limen Church. We will prepare a gift accordingly so please look forward to it.

“Gifts are always welcome. I hope you can prepare a gift that will satisfy me but do you think you can afford it?”

-I will make sure you don’t feel disappointed.

“okay.”

Come in with all your might.

That way it will be more enjoyable to break it.

I let out a laugh over the phone.

Our Pope please stop this
