He is a legendary prison guard. - Chapter 19 Temporary Position

Episode 19: Temporary Position

‘Does this look a little different from other quests?’

Sihyeon sensed a difference through her experience performing various quests so far.

Except for the quest where Poahim’s abilities increased just by eating repeatedly when he was in a state of starvation, all quests so far have been temporary.

Temporary quests disappeared by restoring certain abilities just by completing them. And at some point, the next quest appears.

However, this quest said, ‘Every time you gain a high position and reputation,’

It had a repetitive meaning.

The more you get promoted, the stronger you become.

The more famous you become, the stronger you become.

It felt like this.

As if to prove it, a window with <Your current status> written on it was stuck at the top right corner of the status window. It felt like my profile was stuck on the status window screen.

But it seemed like they were emphasizing that you were at the bottom because you were a ‘complete unknown’ and a ‘9th level prisoner’.

If you’re worried, try your best to complete the quest.

But this is a really long-term projector.

It was not something that could be done overnight.

Does that mean the reward is that big?

While Sihyeon was lost in her own thoughts, someone shook her shoulder.

“Manager Lee Si-hyeon, I called you, but why didn’t you answer?”

It was the voice of the vice director.

omg.

I was so caught up in my thoughts that I couldn’t hear the call, so it seemed like another prison guard shook my shoulder to let me know from behind.

“Oh, yes! I’m sorry.”

Sihyeon apologized and stood up.

“Hmm, is it okay for a young person to stay absorbed in the morning? Well, by the way, I will contact you later when the security manager comes to work. I will tell the manager in charge well in advance, and when he calls, come down to the security department office to see the security manager.”

“Yes, I understand.”

Sihyeon answered with puzzled eyes.

Why did the security manager suddenly call me?

Is it perhaps because of the documentary being filmed this time?

It was even more burdensome because the main filming location was two studios on the 5th floor.

“Then everyone, have a good day today.”

The inspection is over.

◈ ◈ ◈

Ringing.

“Yes, thank you. I am Lee Si-hyeon, a member of Company 2 on the 5th floor.”

“Yes, this is Park Tae-jong, head of the security department. Director Lee Si-hyeon, please come down to the security department right now. The security manager is looking for you.”

“Okay, I’m going down right now.”

Sihyeon hung up the phone and put on his work hat.

I also checked the condition of my work uniform.

“Did you get a call from the security department?”

Chief Park Young-Hwan asked.

“Yes, this is my first time having a personal interview with the head of the security department. I think it will be very awkward.”

“Haha, it’ll end without saying a few words anyway, so take your time.”

“I guess so, right?”

Sihyeon smiled and left the compound.

I took the elevator down to the security department’s office and headed straight to the security manager’s office.

“hello.”

Sihyeon raised his hand and saluted.

“Ah, is this infidel here?”

The head of the security department nodded and received a greeting.

Fortunately, I didn’t think the conversation would be long, seeing as they didn’t ask me to sit on the sofa.

“Did you hear that a documentary was being filmed on our cow?”

“Yes, I heard.”

“Did you decide to mainly film the building in the second building on the 5th floor?”

“yes.”

“But this is what I requested, and the director gave permission.”

The head of the security department smiled strangely and took a sip of the tea served in front of him.

Sihyeon waited for the security manager’s words with curious eyes.

“I need you to temporarily work as a CRPT during the filming period.”

“yes?”

Sihyeon looked surprised at the completely unexpected sound.

Even though it was temporary, I didn’t understand why they suddenly changed my position to CRPT.

CRPT was a department that enforced discipline by dispatching and suppressing emergency situations such as inmate riots.

“Why? The second company on the 5th floor is in good order, so things will run smoothly without the inmates for a while, right?”

“That’s true, but… why are you suddenly assigned to this position?”

It was a natural question.

“I’ve been thinking about it for a while. Those guys who cause trouble even while filming are causing trouble, right? They’re not the kind of guys who can control themselves just because they’re filming something.”

“yes.”

“Then the filming team will think it’s right and be excited to film that scene, right?”

“yes.”

First of all, since it was a picture that could be broadcast, I thought I would go all out and take a picture.

“At times like that, if the footage of them not easily catching inmates who are making a fuss is broadcast on TV, what will be the reputation of the prison guards? What will the public think? They will think negatively of the prison guards, saying they are wasting taxpayers’ money and having a hard time with the convicts. So that’s it.”

The head of the security department cast an expectant gaze at Sihyeon.

“What if, in such a situation, we show this prison guard holding back the rioting inmates strongly? I think it would be a pretty cool scene. I think the public’s image of prison guards would also improve.”

“Ah, yes, I think I know what you mean.”

Sihyeon made a face that said he now understood.

Among the rioting inmates, there were some who could not be calmed down easily, no matter how much CRPT was used.

Most of them were inmates who got angry easily and had a hard time controlling their temper.

So, the idea was to win over those inmates and raise the prestige of the prison guards on broadcast.

“Haha, yes. You understand what I mean, right? You can go to the CRPT office starting Wednesday. Please take care of me.”

The security manager looked happy, as if he had come up with a really brilliant idea.

◈ ◈ ◈

“CRPT?”

“Yes, they ask me to go there and work during the filming period.”

“Hey, are you asking me to discipline the kids who cause trouble during filming? I guess they get a lot of recognition in this school.”

“Oh my, what? You’re not noticing that a strange person has suddenly come from CRPT, right?”

Even if it was an order from the head of the security department, it was something that bothered me.

Younghwan smiled as if he were worried for no reason.

“Don’t worry at all. The CRPT team leader is my classmate, and you go around singing that you want to be recruited to CRPT somehow.”

“Huh, really?”

It was my first time hearing it.

It felt like only yesterday that I was receiving advice from the CRPT team leader that I needed to exercise harder in order to deal well with inmates.

It seems that his performance over the past few months has been quite recognized by CRPT.

“That’s right. But don’t just ignore it.”

“Don’t worry at all, Chief.”

Sihyeon smiled.

Anyway, I had one thing to do at Sadong before going to work at the CRPT office.

It is a very important thing.

◈ ◈ ◈

The next day, Si-hyeon, who came to work 30 minutes earlier than Director Park Young-hwan, selected all the rooms and pressed the intercom.

Now the inmates in all rooms would hear the announcement.

“Ah, ah. Can you hear me well? Did you sleep well last night? Let’s start the day brightly today.”

Sihyeon started the broadcast with a greeting and continued.

“First of all, I have one thing to announce. Starting tomorrow, there will be a documentary filming at Company 2 on our 5th floor. Don’t be too conscious of the camera, and act like you normally do. Just do what you normally do, no more. You’ve done well as usual, so I won’t be particularly worried.”

There were no problems up to this point.

There was no concern at all that the presence of cameras would disrupt the order of acceptance.

There was just one thing that stuck.

There were murderers in this building, as well as prisoners who committed various serious crimes.

The filming team will definitely interview them.

I didn’t want the victim to watch the broadcast, but even if she did, I wanted to cause as little pain as possible.

We also hoped that viewers would not feel angry after seeing the interviews with the prisoners as much as possible.

I thought that the problem was the nonchalant interview of a serious criminal who felt shameless.

then.

“And there is one more thing I would like to strongly urge you to do. Some of you will probably be asked to be interviewed by the filming team. It is natural. If you do an interview, there is something you must keep in mind. That is….”

Sihyeon strongly conveyed what he had in mind.
