The Descent Of The Demon God
Chapter 28: The Gate (1)

Department of Defense Gate at Shenyang City Hall site.

The sun had set and it was getting dark, but the lights on all the floors of the defense department lit up.

Gate Defense works with a 24-hour system, day and night, with shifts always working to prepare for when and where situations will arise.

Because the safety of citizens is at stake, the atmosphere is always tense.

Therefore, defending against the Gate was a great mission.

“B-1 Barrier East.”

“Barrier B-2 East.”

Reports come in every 30 minutes from the monitoring room.

Agents sitting in front of more than 300 monitors reported the presence and absence of abnormalities, which is critical for safety.

It can be said that it is done manually not only by the departments in Shenyang, but all the defense departments around the world.

“East F-1 Barrier.”

“Hm.”

On the next report, a middle-aged woman with short hair in a gray military uniform standing in the middle of the room nodded.

His name is Wei So-yong.

He's a lieutenant of the Department of Defense and in charge of tonight.

Wei So-yong, who received the report, saw H-Day displayed on the large monitor.

'We have three days, not four days? Sighs.'

He sighed.

Even though he was a soldier, he was basically not a military person.

What he was worried about was that the Gate would open on the 4th day.

"Please don't let that happen while I'm on duty."

The gate had opened twice as he led the guard.

The first time, he was lucky enough to prevent it, and the second time the southwest wall was penetrated and the location of the factory was destroyed.

400 victims.

Those are Wei So-yong's worst memories.

'The factories were built on such a site ...'

Initially, it was illegal to build anything let alone a factory within 3 km of the wall, but permits were only granted through the connections of the mayor's son-in-law of Shenyang at that time.

Thanks to the incident, the mayor was demoted.

'I was lucky then but ...'

If the barrier was broken this time, he would not be able to make any excuses.

As a traumatized woman, she longed for the Gate not to open while she was on duty.

“Barrier G-25 South.”

"good. Keep working hard. I'll be back in 30 minutes.”

He turned his back ready to go to his office after getting the last report.

It sounded! It sounded! It sounded! It sounded!

The alarm went off the main detector in the room.

"Commander!"

Wei So-yong's expression changed due to the screams of the second lieutenant who was in front of the detector.

He was unaware of the beep.

'Gate!'

Woong!

The people in the room started talking.

This was much faster than the notification from the Gate Investigation Team.

Crying out! Crying out! Crying out!

The siren starts automatically 5 seconds after the beep of the main detector.

Gate Alert.

Sirens were heard all over the city of Shenyang.

Wei So-yong turned around and asked.

"Lieutenant Jin, where is it?"

“The coordinates are... 41°46'48.4"LU 123°01'17.5"BT. This is Gate 26! GE wave activation expand 38 percent!”

The coordinates are on the west side of the city.

"Dirt!"

Gate 26 came faster than expected.

Moreover, if the activation of the Energy Gate wave was 38%, the gate was almost half open.

So, when he took office, he very much hoped this would not happen, but his hopes were shattered.

But there's no time for that.

"Type?"

Tata!

Hearing his cry, the people inside the monitor room on the west wall accelerated.

Each of them is not only responsible for the CCTV cameras inside the walls, but also outside the walls.

At that moment, a soldier cried.

"Lo-See this!"

The gaze!

He pressed a button and then connected it to the main monitor.

The coordinates shown at the top of the screen are close to the gate.

Drrr!

Camera's shaky.

It seemed like it was vibrating due to the speed of the waves.

Everyone looked at him with tense eyes.

Dudududud!

And then, the screen switches to night vision mode, and captures something that is running.

The soldier enlarged it.

Strange creatures that do not exist on earth are caught on screen.

“Individual type!”

It was the size of a hippo and had six long, sharp horns and fangs. And then they saw the monster sprinting like an overexcited aunt.

'Individual type.'

Wei So-yong was a little relieved.

There were three types of dangers coming out of the gate.

Individual type, disaster type, and special type.

Of the three types, individuals are the easiest, but still dangerous.

For example, breaking through the last barrier was an individual type.

"And the risk?"

"Please wait a minute."

Tata!

The soldier typed on the keyboard and grabbed something.

Shortly after, the search data appeared on the big screen.

[Danger level: Horn Jackal: Class C]

Number of Gate sightings: 12 times at the European Gate and 7 times at the Asian Gate.

Berlin Gate 15, 2049.05.20. 19:23 (First)

Munich Gate 29, 2051.07.15. 20:02

Chengdu City, Sichuan Province, Gate 43, 2058.02.19. 19:40

"Cc class?"

Woong!

Once again the monitoring room is a mess.

Hazardous objects are divided into a total of six classes, E, D, C, B, A, and S. The higher, the more risky.

The reason why the soldiers in the monitor room were shocked was simple.

Although all types are hazards, the level of risk increases significantly from grade C onwards.

'Class C is ...'

Wei So-yong bit her lip.

This was the first time since he was promoted to the defense department of Shenyang city that this class had appeared.

The last gate is class D and dangerous, and anything higher can mean that it is a crisis.

One of the soldiers in the room was confused.

“National Guards move towards Western Wall. I'll send them the type information. ”

At that moment, he nodded his head.

The situation had just emerged, but the situation was clear.

He is the one who will be responsible for this.

"Exert a summoning order to the Gatekeeper of Shenyang city, and send a request to defend against the gate to the Murim Association."

“Roger!”

At the same time.

There is a bus that runs west across downtown Shenyang.

On both sides of the bus was written the 'Gate Guard' of the Shenyang defense department, which literally meant that the bus was carrying the Gate Guard.

The bus left three minutes after the warning was issued.

It took longer for the defense department to issue summonses than they left.

In the first bus.

A young man in his early 30s with mostly white hair and a bit of yellow dyed hair was in the front seat. He chewed on the gum while shaking his head at the text that appeared on his phone screen.

[The Gatekeeper must immediately divide into three teams in the barrier of D-8, D-13 and E-3 in the west and assemble.

Danger level: Horn Jackal: Class C]

"Slow. Slow. They should have sent it as soon as the alarm went off.”

“Why don't you stop messing around and wearing a hazmat suit?”

A middle-aged man with a beard scolded him for being playful and not wearing protective clothing.

“Eh. Capcaptain. You know that I don't need that. I don't like it either.”

“Yang Tae Pyung! Will you regain your senses only after you become infected with a toxic substance outside the Wall?

Yang Tae-pyung, the man with white and yellow hair, grumbled while narrowing his eyes, but he got up and opened the luggage compartment.

"I'm Class B's guardian and when you've seen me infected ..."

"Are you going to keep complaining?"

"Yes. Yeah." yeah."

The reason Tae-pyung, who is arrogant and selfish, shows such a weak appearance is because the bearded man is the Gate Guard Captain.

Do Jung-rak.

age 42.

And he was the only A-class Guard in Shenyang city with special abilities.

His special ability was to turn his skin into steel, and he had enough strength to lift and throw the bus.

Do Jung-rak asks while touching her ear piece.

"Did you all get a message from the Department of National Defense?"

At that question, the voices of two of the three platoon leaders, two men and one woman, who were the Guardians of Class B and on buses 1, 2, and 3 were heard.

-Click! Yep!

- We accept.

“Bus 1 to H-13, Bus 2 to H-8, Ke Dan and Bus 3 to wall E-3.”

yep. We understand, leader.

There was no reply from Class B Guard Go Yoon, the leader of the Bus 3 platoon.

captain Do... I really need money, can we go to the H-13?

"Well…"

When one looks at the coordinates where the Gate opens, D-13 is a straight line.

And there is a great possibility to meet an alpha-type entity with a Gate Core.

The Gate Guard's main task is to handle the Alpha-type core and keep the gate closed while the National Guard intercepts creatures of normal danger level.

“It looks like you need pocket money. Yooni-hyung our. Hehe."

Tae-pyung, who is in the same platoon hears him and taunts him.

Gate Guards are paid the highest salary.

But like any job, his salary was not the same for all Gate Guards.

It varies greatly depending on the class.

Therefore, the Gate Guards were trying to increase their salaries by working hard to develop their abilities and improve their class when the gate was not opened.

However, there are other special types of payments.

“Actually, if it is the core of a class C alpha hazard entity, the bonus is 4 to 5 billion won, and it is worth it.” (3.4 to 4.2 Million United States Dollars)

That's an unimaginable amount.

Considering that the annual salary of a Class B Guard was around 1 billion won, the additional pay was incredible.

And that was why the Guardians risked their lives in dealing with an Alpha-type entity.

“Yoonie hyung's. What are we supposed to do? There's something I want right now.”.

Kang!

“Euk!”

Tae-pyung holds his head and shouts.

There's a reason for that, he was hit by Do Jung-rak's fist made of steel.

Ignoring Tae-pyung, he puts his finger on his ear piece and says.

"I understand. We're going to the E-3 barrier. ”

-Click.. Thank you! The captain!

Hearing those words, Go Yoon's voice brightened.

Then, Do Jung-rak said,

“Instead, you must not lose the core of the Murim Association. Understood?"

-Click! Definitely!

Do Jun-rak grinned and spoke to the driver.

"Ha. Move to southwest E-3 barrier.”

Meanwhile, the nearest road is northwest of Shenyang.

A white sedan quickly headed for the office of the Murim Association.

In the back seat of the car, two men with colourful slats set aside were talking.

The person on the right was Moyong Yi-sun, executive director of Yeon Company.

And in the left seat was a man in his 60s, with dark eyebrows and half-white and half-black hair, the chairman of the Yeon Company, Moyong Geum.

Geck!

To check if there was a message, Moyong Yi-sun raised her hand and touched her phone.

ask Moyong Geum.

"Are you saying that everyone from the association has gathered?"

“It looks like most of them have arrived. We just need to get there.”

Currently at the branch of the Murim Association, most of the Murim warriors listed on the branch had gathered.

They were waiting for the head of the Murim Shenyang Association Branch, Moyong Geum.

"Is the old man there too?"

“She refused the housing we provided but she has been with Murim Association all this time.”

"Huh."

The one Moyong Geum asked was Peng Neung-gyeom.

Peng Neung-gyeom, a man in his 70s with a higher share in Murim, came to see him, but Moyong Geum did not allow it.

Since he couldn't just turn a blind eye, he tried to send Moyong Yi-sun and provide accommodation, but he rejected her and went to the Murim Association.

“All people are old but their greed does not subside. That place will be heavily guarded. You will go around the place and covet the point. ”

"There's no way we can stop anyone else."

There were people who came in the name of helping those who worked near the Gate.

Even if Shenyang was run by their big company, they would not repel those who came with their own two feet to help.

Moyong Yi-sun sighed and said,

"More than that, the Gate opens at such a time."

“Do not rush. You are the one who will be the next head of Yeon company. ”

“…”

“There is no word too late to solve the problem of Six Road Toys and how it works.”

"But I sent a pursuer ..."

"Huh. I keep telling you not to rush.”

Moyong Geum's voice sounded annoyed, so Moyong Yi-sun shut up.

So far in her life, she has not been able to overcome her father's strong grip on her.

“First, focus on the point. If that is the core of class C, you can increase the aggression to make it one step ahead. Of course, you can do it. ”

the core.

Pure energy crystals.

The governments of each country use it as alternative energy, but the Murim Association has the technology to boost internal energy by purifying the core.

That was the reason why the warriors of Murim and the Murim Association came to perform during the Gate Remembrance.

Holding his sword, Moyong Geum said.

“This time will be harder than the last time. Not only the Gate Guard, but the old man was also eyeing the point. ”

"Don't worry. I'll get the point. ”

Getting the core is a big deal.

This time, the Yeon Company was aiming to close the gate, and just doing so would get them a big name.

"Yes. Still, don't overdo it. If it is a Class C Alpha hazard, it may be difficult for your current level.”

"Understood."

The two rich men, descendants of the Moyong clan, were determined.

An abandoned factory in the southwest.

“Ah! What kind of shit is that!”

the piece!

“Kuak!”

At Baek Jong-so's kick, Neung Do-myung passes out.

Baek Jong-so was unable to contain his anger, as he clutched the man's collar and shouted.

"Whatdidyou say? The place is outside the wall?”

“Aduh..”.

That's why he's angry.

After the Gate Warning was issued, he asked in a desperate manner.

But what the man said made no sense.

“You crazy bastard! How can you do that!"

“I-That's why I told you! You can't do it without me ... "

"Are you really spewing that shit!"

The tribe!

“Kuak!”

Baek Jong-so kicked him again.

Amidst the pain, Neung Do-myung is confused in her own way.

'Fuck. I surrender.'

The fact that he revealed this information could be a fatal blow to the Public Security Bureau.

In general, a safe house is a place used by public bureaus or intelligence agencies to maintain confidentiality.

A place where someone can hide.

Before the Gate, deep valleys or sparsely populated places were usually used.

However, after the Gate was created, Public Security thought otherwise.

The most dangerous place to keep people who need to be kept secret is outside the walls.

'Fuck! That's so people can't figure it out.'

Getting in and out of walls is usually controlled.

That's because there may be unknown dangerous objects, or toxic substances.

"… How can you do that…"

Baek Jong-so's eyes are red.

Everyone in this day and age knows how dangerous it is outside those walls.

When she learned that her mother was being held outside, she couldn't help but yell in anger.

To be honest, he wanted to kill the man immediately.

'Haa .. haaa .. no. I have to save my mother.'

Gate Warning issued.

He did not know what would happen if he did not save his mother in this situation.

Baek Jong-so grabbed the man and asked.

"Where? Where did you put my mom?”

"Th-That's ..."

“Shed. If you don't want to die at my hands. ”

“1 km to the west..”

It sounded!

At the time, an emergency message from the Ministry of National Defense appeared on Baek Jong-so's phone.

[Memorial Gate 26

Residents living within 30 km of the western wall had to flee to nearby shelters.]

'!!!'

While he was still holding the man's collar, even Neung Do-myung became stiff at hearing the message.

He didn't dream that this would happen.

Confused, said Neung Do-myung.

"Ah, the house is made of alloy with a thickness of more than 1 meter and our people are ..."

“Close your mouth. Did you really say ... "

"Enough. Stop that."

Chun Yeowun cut their screams.

As he loses his mind, Baek Jong-so yells at Chun Yeowun with red eyes.

“But, but my mother..”.

"Do you think you can save your mother by killing her?"

"I know that. But the Gate Alert has been issued. And the dangerous ones will flock outside the walls. What can we do now?”

"What do you mean by what we can do?"

"Huh?"

"Do you think I will let my sect members die?"

'!?'

Baek Jong-so trembled at Chun Yeowun's words.

Leaving his surprised face, he spoke to Neung Do-myung.

"the location. Tell me the coordinates.”
