Episode 096: No Possession (3)
From a long-term perspective, yes.
As we add more healers and doctors, we will be able to build an even more robust medical infrastructure.
In an apocalyptic world where casualties abound, medical services were as effective a means of attracting people as food.
It didn't end with just treatment.
The recovered Awakened naturally went through Pax FC's training program, and the Paxmen raised in this way became Pax FC's loyal force.
“······Even more so at a time like this.”
Besides, we were preparing for a fight.
A large-scale 'pioneering project' is being prepared in Barnaul.
I also needed to assemble a large force to match.
further,
'That's not all.'
Absorbing small local groups had another significance.
The European headquarters of the Chamber of Commerce, stored in subspace.
As a superior organization of the Japanese branch, I was able to print out a new 'Application for Registration of Existence'.
Phalang.
I sat quietly and looked at the document Pax had printed out.
———————-
▣ Dimensional Existence Registration Application (6th level)
We welcome your registration.
Before applying, please make sure to check the items below.
Documents required for issuing registration of existence: Organization representing the person.
Conditions for issuing existence registration: 100 or more affiliated organizations (each with 1,000 or more people)
Myself: (Handwritten signature)
▣ Multidimensional Chamber of Commerce
———————-
The new requirement is 100 affiliated organizations.
Pax FC had to manage over 100 organizations, each of which required over 1,000 members.
“Manon, Chicago, Prague, Elvenheim······.”
There are currently about thirty organizations affiliated with Pax FC.
It was not a small number, but it was far short of the required 100.
Of course, it would be possible to split the members into small groups and create an artificial group, but it was not a realistic strategy as it would require spending at least several hundred thousand magic stones.
“But more than that······.”
Anyway, there was a target right in front of me.
Sumanggyo, which merged fifteen large hospitals in Daegu alone.
If we include the dozen or so smaller groups they claim to have under their control, the Sumangyo alone could have secured at least thirty groups.
And in fact······.
There was a reason why these groups were formed so quickly in Korea.
“Honestly, it was the seed I sowed······.”
They say that if you overdo it with humility, it can be a disease, and Korea is now virtually the safest place on Earth.
All sorts of supplies were provided through portals installed in each region, and regional representatives linked with Pax FC went around subduing monsters whenever they could.
The days of struggling to survive are over.
The Awakened formed parties and took the lead in hunting, and they were able to obtain a considerable amount of magic stones.
Opening a group costs 10,000 magic stones.
I was, knowingly or unknowingly, a significant part of the rise of the Sumangyo, which led dozens of groups.
Of course, it was a seed that was planted unintentionally······.
“Now is the time to reap.”
I think it was said that the best way to govern a country is to cultivate oneself and bring peace to the world.
Now is the time to sort out the internal strife in Korea and prepare for a fight against foreign powers based on this.
As part of the house cleaning, I was thinking of taking over the Sumangyo sect, which had many subordinate organizations.
And then, it happened.
“······Huh?”
As luck would have it, they were the ones who started the fight first.
***
The area where the problem occurred was, of course, Daegu.
My older sister, who had gone out to transport a patient, was in a standoff with someone.
“What’s going on?”
“No, well these crazy guys······.”
Pax FC's ambulance stands still.
In front of the stretcher carrying the patient, men in white coats were blocking the way.
“They told me to hand over the patient.”
The older sister's voice trembled.
Meanwhile, the men had blue flower-shaped badges on their uniforms.
A face that appears kind at first glance, but strangely has a hint of madness.
One of them approached me with a faint smile.
“We’ve come from the emergency medical center at Yooseong Hospital. We’ll pick up the patient.”

Yuseong Hospital.
Among the hospitals affiliated with Sumangyo, it was the largest hospital.
I asked him, who was stubborn and didn't even blink an eye.
“What are you talking about? This patient was the one who requested rescue from us in the first place.”
A patient with a fractured leg, but not an emergency.
But in his hand, lying on the stretcher, was clearly a smartphone supplied by Pax FC.
If there had been no request for rescue in the first place, there would have been no reason for us to drive up.
But what came back was the logic of the Sumangyo who was stuck in the other world.
“Are you planning to use this person as a sacrifice for the portal?”
"······what?"
“Hee, heek!”
The patient lying down was shocked at the word sacrifice,
As if he thought this was the moment, the Su-mang-gyo continued speaking without hesitation.
“Do you think we don’t know? The fact that people who passed through that portal never returned. Of course. In order to maintain the portal, people’s lives must be sacrificed.”
Conspiracy theories leaking out from his gaping mouth.
Of course, it wasn't true.
The patients were transferred to Gangnam Severance Hospital, the medical staff were treating the prisoners in Elvenheim, and the Awakened were receiving training at Pax FC's training facility.
But, explaining it didn't change anything.
'······He's stabbing in quite cleverly.'
Because it was true that they weren't in Daegu.
They were inciting the people of Daegu with lies mixed with a drop of truth.
In the absence of immediate evidence, suspicion was bound to be stronger than explanation.
As expected,
Rattling······!
The patient came down from the stretcher with a frightened look on his face.
Seeing him come down limping, I could tell he was in a complete panic.
The Sumangyo sect muttered their doctrines with indifferent expressions······.
“You are only focused on gathering magic stones and becoming stronger. But what people need is peace and healing. If we all throw away our possessions together······.”
“Hey, let’s go quickly!”
Instead, the patient urged the water purifier to come.
They immediately got into the car and disappeared without looking back.
Meanwhile, on our side······.
“······I can’t kill you, right?”
“······.”
An angry Kim Joo-yeon asked me in a cold voice.
However, it wasn't a problem that could be solved that way.
“Of course not. Would the patient run away for no reason?”
“Sacrifice? You believe such nonsense?”
“Even if you don’t believe it, you must be worried. This is a world where all sorts of things can happen. Don’t you think it would be better to go to a neighborhood hospital, even if it’s a little shabby?”
That was the situation.
What we need is not land or resources, but people.
If we caught and killed those guys, it would only increase Pax FC's notoriety, and we wouldn't be able to get our hands on the healers and doctors that way.
“Then what do you want to do?”
“I have to dig around. I’ve never seen a clean one among those guys who just crack pumpkin seeds. As expected······.”
I pretended and pointed with my hand.
“I think he knows something.”
A man with gray hair and wearing a shabby shirt.
I am like that too, but my older sister was the one who knew better than anyone else.
"······professor?"
“It’s been a while, Nurse Kim.”
.
.
.
His name is Lee Gook-jung.
He was a doctor who had often appeared on the news in the past, and he was a friend of my older sister's through overseas medical volunteer work.
“I came to Pax FC······ but I didn’t know I would meet Nurse Kim like this.”
“Really. What happened?”
Lee Gook-joong said that he encountered the demise of a major operation in Daegu and that after several near-death experiences, he became a doctor at Yooseong Hospital.
There was a reason why he came to Pax FC.
“I need medicine.”
“Is it medicine?”
“As Nurse Kim knows, most healers can only treat trauma. Diabetes and vascular diseases are still the domain of doctors, and most cases require medication. However, the hospitals around here are running out of medication.”
That we need medicine to treat the patients.
It wasn't difficult.
Because in the subspace, there were mountains of specialized medicines copied from Severance Hospital.
But that wasn't the only problem.
“Suwanggyo is deceiving patients.”
“······You’re lying?”
“Most patients have virtually stopped receiving treatment because there is no medicine. However, the leader of the Sumang cult is still deceiving people into thinking that treatment is still taking place.”
“No, does that mean it’s a lie?”
“Originally, you can’t fool someone. Unless you have the ability to awaken.”
Lee Gook-joong added that the leader of the Su-mang cult has the ability to 'anesthetize' and is pretending to treat patients by simply relieving their pain.
“Would there be a CT scan or an ultrasound in this yard? They just think that since the pain is gone, they are better. Then, if you go to a hospital affiliated with the Sumang Church, you will get better. They go around saying that you just need to listen to the Sumang Church leader. They slowly die without pain and with a smile.”
It's like just taking painkillers and then getting sick.
Their religious views were not much different either.
A defeatist ideology that says to calmly accept destruction.
Because they were endlessly emphasizing meditation and peace, causing mental paralysis in people.
I answered the professor.
“We need to provide medicine. But to give medicine to patients, we need to secure the hospitals first.”
“If the hospitals become part of Pax FC, I could not ask for anything more······.”
Professor Lee Gook-joong nodded.
He added, seeming worried.
“If we occupy it without permission, there will be a lot of resistance. Not only the patients, but also······. There aren’t many healers or doctors who have a proper grasp of the situation.”
“Oh, don’t worry. We’ll solve it peacefully.”
There is one thing I realized through this incident.
From material supply, rescue operations, to even training human resources.
Pax FC provided generous food and shelter, but there was one more thing needed to become a true center that would lead the world.
That's right······.
'Pax FC must have its own philosophy.'
It wasn't enough to just struggle to survive.
The consciousness to proactively overcome the destruction before our eyes and fight against the Chamber of Commerce, the culprit of the situation.
Because we needed a consciousness of ‘full ownership’ based on the benefits of unlimited supply.
Was that a bit of a vague story?
My older sister asked me back.
“So what are you going to do?”
“Are you trying to frame us with false accusations? We also need to explain ourselves.”
I can explain them one by one.
The subspace portal is a good portal that doesn't bite people, we are doing charity work distributing rice and coal briquettes, and while the Paxmen are patriotic leaders who defeat aliens, the Sumangyo are nothing more than traitorous swindlers who have fallen for foreign powers.
“······Will you believe that?”
My older sister looked at me with suspicion, but······.
“You won’t be able to help but believe it. It will really ‘touch your body’.”
I had my own thoughts too.
The one who will deliver that message will be none other than Lydia, who has buff/debuff abilities.
The idea was to let the hospital staff experience firsthand the emotional torrents that surround having and having not, the tumultuous path from heaven to hell.
“Well, everyone······.”
A treasure of civilized life falling from the sky.
And waves of debuffs and buffs follow the bright voice.
Wouldn't that be closer to a kind of religious experience?
“Whether you like it or not, you’re going to love our Pax FC.”
