I Picked a Mobile From Another World

Episode 298 [Remaining Stories (1)]

The Seoul sky was full of clouds.

It was an ordinary cloud that did not contain mana.

Because of the clouds that had been building since morning, it was raining all over Seoul.

However, none of the people gathered at Gwanghwamun Square used umbrellas or raincoats.

Hundreds of thousands of people dressed in black.

Even though so many people had gathered, a solemn atmosphere was maintained in Gwanghwamun Square and the surrounding streets, which were closed to traffic.

People went up to the podium one by one, gave eulogies, and then came down.

The President, various government officials, and representatives of the bereaved families.

Numerous cameras were filming people giving eulogy.

Cameras from all broadcasting stations in Korea and each country in the Eurasian Union were all pointed at the podium.

A new person has come up to the podium.

President of the Korean Awakened Association.

He was the awakened person most respected by Korean and Eurasian union awakeners, and the awakened person most trusted by the general public through numerous interviews and a sound life.

President of the Awakened Association. As Jinhyuk stood on the podium, he heard a small whisper in his head.

-Go for it!

It was Seolyeon’s telepathy.

Jinhyuk smiled slightly.

He immediately erased his smile and looked ahead.

A lot of people were watching him.

Some people looked at him with different expressions, but most people had sad faces. These were people who lost family and friends to monsters.

Jinhyuk opened his mouth.

“It’s been a year since the last wave that killed countless people and toppled countries.”

His words spread throughout Gwanghwamun through speakers.

And it was captured on a broadcasting station camera and spread across the country.

To the countless people gathered at the memorial hall in each city, to each city in the Eurasian Union that suffered great damage that day.

Today was the 1st anniversary of the Baekdu Mountain Wave.

Baekdu Mountain Wave.

Two countries in the Eurasian Union. It was a wave in which the independent states of North Korea and Manchuria fell, and Korea, Russia, Mongolia, and the divided Chinese countries suffered great damage.

Of course, the previous global wave caused greater damage to the entire world, but the Baekdu Mountain Wave caused a greater shock to the Eurasian Union.

It was a wave in which countless people died.

Moreover, there was one more reason to commemorate that day.

Jinhyuk continued.

“Many people died, and countless soldiers and awakened people gave their lives to protect their families and country.”

The images of his colleagues who left before him flashed through Jinhyeok’s mind.

“And thanks to everyone’s sacrifice, we can finally dream of a world without monsters.”

When the fight was over and Gyeong-hoon told him that no more monsters would appear, he and no one else could believe it.

However, a year later, no more monsters have appeared.

From that day on, fighting monsters was completely different. It was not a war of attrition that continued to increase no matter how many people were killed.

Jinhyuk looked around at the people.

Hundreds of thousands of people dressed in black were seen, and the awakened members of the Association were visible at the front.

However, the awakened people wearing black body armor that had been fighting together were nowhere to be seen.

At some point, EV awakeners became invisible.

I knew the reason, but I couldn’t help but feel disappointed.

Jinhyuk held the microphone with his regrown hand. He raised his voice to the people watching him.

“But the fight is not over yet…”

*

[…We must fight until the last monster left on this earth, no, on this earth disappears!]

Electronic display installed in Red Square, Moscow Even in Seoul, images of Jinhyeok delivering a eulogy were flowing out.

There were many people here in Red Square.

Tens of thousands of Moscow citizens filled the square, and government officials sat right in front of the podium, watching the video and the ceremony.

Russia, which suffered less damage than other countries, was closer to a victory ceremony than a memorial ceremony.

Perhaps that was why President Bykov and his daughter Rosalia, who were sitting among government officials, were talking in a whisper.

And several cameras were filming the scene.

The friendly conversation between the charismatic president who saved Russia from crisis and his daughter, whom the Russian people love the most, was perfect for the front page of the evening news.

After glancing at the cameras aimed at him, President Bykov whispered softly into his daughter’s ear.

“Can’t you just stay in Russia for your father?”

The President’s whisper was completely different from what was captured on camera.

The answer was also different from what was shown in the video.

“I’ve already decided to go.”

Rosalia’s voice as she answered was very firm.

“If I can’t be a father, I hope he stays for the sake of our Russian people. The dangerous times have finally passed. Even in Russia, there is a mountain of work to do. “Everyone needs you.”

“After the Baekdu Mountain Wave, I worked for Russia for a year. “Now we can get rid of the monsters in our country without me.”

The father sighed at his daughter’s firm answer.

At first, I started this for my sick daughter.

As things grew, he became President of Russia and his daughter became Russia’s greatest awakener, but President Bykov still considered his daughter’s health and happiness the most important.

Now he wanted to make her stay in a safe place, but his daughter wouldn’t listen to him.

Rosalia held her father’s hand as he sighed.

“sorry. But if I stay here and only broadcast and give speeches and participate in events and parties, I will be unhappy. I am happiest when I am with my EV colleagues. “I will visit you as often as possible.”

The president looked embarrassed.

He was a president who exuded tremendous charisma in front of others, but he was a fool who could never reject anything his daughter said.

Unable to persuade his daughter further, he turned his arrow to someone else this time.

He glared at the young man sitting next to his daughter.

“Vasily! “Please persuade me too.”

Vasily scratched his head at the president’s words.

“sorry. “He’s so stubborn…”

“What is stubbornness? He wants to go further than me.”

Rosalia pouted at Vasily’s words,

“Vasili is the president of Isabel’s Executioner’s fan club. Let alone stopping him, he was worried that he wouldn’t be able to go.”

“No, that’s it…”

Vasily tried to make an excuse but eventually sighed.

The kind and quiet girl disappeared, and after many fights, Rosalia became a completely different woman.

Honestly, she wasn’t wrong. If it weren’t for Rosalia, he would have left long ago with his EV colleagues.

“From now on, there won’t be much for me or the Awakened to do. Now that the monsters have disappeared, competition between humans will begin. sorry. You’ll be busier…”

Seeing his daughter apologizing with an apologetic expression, President Bykov finally gave up on persuading her.

It was just as she said.

Monsters were being driven out of human habitats, but as president, his work only increased.

A lot of recovery work, cleaning up the dead, rebuilding the economy, and a

mountain of domestic problems were weighing him down, but he couldn’t help but pay attention to another problem: the

border problem.

Many border lines had been erased.

Not only the Russian border, but also Europe and Asia. There were many places where the border line had lost its meaning.

Of course, the past border line remained on the map, but it was already impossible to return to that border line.

If it were a human-to-human war, the people would have survived even if the government and military were destroyed, but now the entire people along with the country have lost their meaning. There were many countries that disappeared. Although there were no official statistics, there was talk that the world’s population had fallen by less than half.

North Korea and the independent Manchurian state, whose countries collapsed but most of their people survived, were rather exceptions. As

the monsters decreased, China fell into a complete civil war. Europe was also in chaos.

The Middle East had returned to nomadic countries, and Southeast Asian countries and Africa were in a situation where there was no communication.

In the end, a lot of land became empty, and it was clear that the country that occupied it first would now become the owner.

Korea was already recovering North Korea and heading to Manchuria, and Britain was also trying to establish itself in Africa and Europe. Russia

could not sit still.

It had to restore its army and occupy as much empty territory as possible.

“Maybe it would be better to leave.” .”

It might have been better to leave so as not to see the messy fight between humans that would begin in the future.

Rosalia smiled at his muttering.

“There won’t be a war between humans.”

“huh?”

“Because there is an owner of the EV.”

The President shook his head at Rosalia’s words.

It was as she said. Although EV had backed off after the Baekdu Mountain Wave, there was no way he would stay still if a war broke out between humans. He was someone that no one could stop even before the Baekdu Mountain Wave.

In addition, the strength he showed during the Baekdu Mountain Wave was such that it was difficult to regard him as human.

There was no way a large country could move carelessly while he was watching intently.

*

Time passed and the memorial service came to an end.

Jin Xiawei, who participated in the memorial service, met CEO Hyerin on the way to the parking lot.

Hyerin, as always, was surrounded by the president and entourage.

“Are you leaving?”

The bosses who recognized Jin Xiawei bowed their heads to her.

It seemed strange to see older, prestigious CEOs bowing their heads to young women, but now neither Jin Xiawei nor Hye-lin were concerned.

“Yes, I plan to go.”

“okay.”

It seemed like a normal conversation on the outside, but the content inside was a little different than it seemed.

“Then what do you plan to do with the company?”

“I decided to leave it to someone else. After all, management wasn’t my job. “The number of monsters is decreasing, so it’s difficult to create new products here.”

In response to Jin Xiawei’s answer, Hyerin nodded with a gloomy face.

“I decided to stay. “There must be someone to protect the companies he founded.”

Jin Xiawei also nodded at Hyerin’s words.

However, contrary to appearances, Jin Xiawei did not believe her words.

It was all just an excuse.

It was clear that SG Electronics and SG Group would run well even without her.

He said he was staying for Kyung-hoon, but in reality, he was only staying for her.

Even now, countless people were following Hyerin.

Before, Hye-rin blindly followed Gyeong-hoon, but as time passed, the place changed.

But Jin Xiawei didn’t say anything to Hyerin.

In any case, the shareholding structure did not change from before, and the owners of SG Electronics and the group did not change.

It’s just that Hyerin decided to take a different path.

“I’ll see you later then.”

Jin Xiawei bowed lightly and turned away.

“Oh wait…”

Hye-rin stretched out her hand toward Jin Xia-wei, who was leaving, but in the end was unable to catch her.

The back of a man appeared overlapping Jin Xia-wei’s increasingly smaller figure.

Hye-rin bit her lip. She She couldn’t just shake off and leave like Jin Xiawei.

Anyway, the things she could do were only useful here.

“Let’s go.”

Hyerin lowered her head and walked to the other side.

People rushed after Hyerin.

Tears fell at her feet as she walked.

*

A few hours later. Jin Xiawei was standing in a large underground square.

It was a square with patterns painted all over the floor.

The pattern drawn on the floor was very similar to the portal Manazine used a moment ago.

Jin Xiawei and Isabelle were standing on top of the pattern.

“Everyone else went well, right?”

“Yes, it passed without any problems.”

In response to Isabelle’s answer, Jin Xiawei nodded with a stern expression.

“Are you ready?”

In response to Isabelle’s next question, Jin Xiawei forced her head to nod.

“Then let’s go.”

Kwagwagwagwa!

As Isabel spread her hands wide, black smoke began to gather on the floor filled with patterns.

Jin Xiawei looked frightened as she saw the ground beneath her feet turning black.

Moving through space is scary, but moving through dimensions.

I trusted Kyung-hoon and Isabel, but I felt like I made the wrong choice.

But it was already too late.

The black smoke turned into a hole and instantly sucked in the people standing on the pattern.

Both Jin Xiawei and Isabel disappeared into the hole.

The two people left the Ulleungdo underground base to another dimension.

In the underground basement where people disappeared, only robots were moving.
