Episode 166: The Core of Darkness (1)

… We're used to seeing captured monsters chained to chains, but there... You might even see a huge, free monster.

-Joseph Conrad, The Heart of Darkness

.

.

[…] That's why I want to accuse that ugly group of people who have thrown off their conscience as a literary person, who is preoccupied with the pursuit of their own interests, who are unjust and corrupt of this time.]

I read the article the CEO sent me again.

“… … haha."

The more I read, the more ridiculous it was and only laughter came out.

I've been avoiding mentioning it directly with my initials, but if you're just a little bit interested in literature... … .

[Comment: Hey, by the way, who is the author of the M Love J Literary Award?]

[Comment: I don't know, but it's obvious, isn't it Park Yeon-seo, the Faith and Love Summit Literary Award? Even if you look at each other, a picture comes out, but what?]

[Comment: Huh really? That aunt didn't know she was that kind of person.

Because I knew who Shin Kyung-seung was shooting, which work, which publisher, and which literary award it was.

‘This yangban is real.’

But no matter how much I thought about it, there was something I couldn't understand.

That's right.

‘What the hell are you doing this with?’

Why would he do this?

Because as far as I know, the person who sits in the deepest place within the literary power was Shin Seong-seung.

'If you look at the bad money, A-grade bad money is a win-win.'

So unless he is reborn even now. What he's doing now is... It was like a dog covered in chaff, like a dog covered in chaff, spitting in my face, and sprinkling ashes on cooked rice.

Because even Shin Kyung-seung himself could never be free from everything he was criticizing.

'If only one of my acquaintances opened their mouth, it would be dangerous... Well, it's almost crazy.'

However?

When I looked at the situation on the Internet, I noticed that things were going a little strange.

'what?'

Before less than an hour had passed since Shin Seung-seung's article was posted.

[An elder writer's bloody scream 'I accuse you!']

[Nobel Prize in Literature Nominee Shin Kyung-seung’s ‘Whistleblowing’]

[Citizens call for ‘midnight’ within the literary world!]

Articles from the Hangule newspaper started pouring out like bamboo shoots.

[Real-time trending search terms]

Neurosurgery Whistleblower.

1983 pig bar.

Normal Literature Award.

Park Yeon-seo.

Senior writer Shin Kyung-seung.

storm warning.

.

.

Soon, Shin Kyung-seung's name was exposed at the top of the search terms related to the portal site.

Then, in the blink of an eye, this rumor spread through various community sites and SNS.

[Comment: Hermi. this is scary The literary world is also dirty]

[Comment: Well, the floor is full of dead people. ㅋ However, writer Shin Kyung-seung has a conviction. It must not be easy for an elder writer to say something like this]

[Comment: Nominees for the Nobel Prize in Literature are different.]

In an instant, public opinion was formed.

‘What the hell is this so fast?’

At this point, people poured out favorable evaluations of Shin Kyung-seung, who boldly accused him of whistleblowing despite his position as an elder, and endless criticism of other writers.

[Comment: No, at this point, shouldn't we have to go to the special investigation petition?]

He began to demand punishment for those in power within the paragraph.

of course.

[Comment: No, what nonsense is this? Who is that nerd swearing at? Huh, living in this world is really fun]

[Comment: Isn't it almost untouchable within a paragraph if it's Shin Kyung-seung? Does such a person say such a thing? Everyone calm down!]

[Comment: Right. Everyone should calm down and listen to what others have to say. It was like this every day, and other evidence was found and turned upside down!]

It wasn't that there weren't people who wanted to be a little more careful. The opinions of such people… … .

[The author of , Park Bong-shin, ‘There is undue power in the paragraph’.]

[Writer Lee Wi-chee expressed support for the courageous remarks of writer Shin Kyung-seung, ‘I’m ashamed that I haven’t been able to tell you.’]

[The author of Lee Jun-yeol. Expressing support for writer Shin Kyung-seung's opinion]

Meet the ambush of other writers' declarations of support.

[Comment: Are there too many anti-corruption advocacy groups? Only dog ​​pigs, they are dog pigs]

[Comment: Because of you, the country is the way it is. Wake]

[Comment: Because the problem is that the brain is full of udon noodles anyway.]

disappeared in an instant.

Therefore, even those who know a little about the affairs of the paragraph, if it is not their own business, they have no choice but to sit and watch the situation.

[Comment: It's sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo cool

[Comment: I'm also a nerd! We support courageous writers.]

[Comment: Eradication of evil forces, Gazua!]

Because if I made a mistake, even myself could become a 'corruption'.

“Heh heh, that’s bullshit.”

At this point, I couldn't help but ask.

“No, why are these gentlemen doing this?”

Most of the people with whom Shin Kyung-seung sharpened his sword are fellow writers who have lived with him. They were people who had come face to face for the last 30 years.

So there had to be a good reason for doing this until the end of the relationship.

‘Because otherwise, I’m really old.’

However?

[I also crossed the street, so it's not exactly accurate... … .]

The reason I heard from the CEO who followed was a masterpiece.

[…] In fact, it seems that writer Shin Kyung-seung is in a bad mood these days. All the money I've made in the meantime is blown away as alimony or money for my son's business... It seems that the treatment of Aleum Aleum was not good on the publisher side... In fact, even the CEO doesn't know very well that writer Shin Kyung-seung is a nominee for the Nobel Prize in Literature because he is so talkative.

Of course I knew it.

In fact, considering the name of the nominee for the Nobel Prize in Literature, it was just a guess by Koreans.

‘Neither the writer Shin Kyung-seung nor his work is that nimble.’

The reason he was mentioned as a nominee for the Nobel Prize in Literature was because he had a similar age and a similar career to the Nobel Prize winners.

I nodded his head and opened his mouth.

"Yes."

[Yes. There was a sense of that there too, so I tried not to tease him as much as possible... Because that yangban is so quick in that direction]

“How is it?”

[Of course, there was a commotion. Because he's not the kind of person who can stand that kind of thing. However… If the publisher isn't a charitable organization, how can they give top-notch treatment to a writer who is no longer good at writing? After all, the person's name is high, but the book sales aren't that great... I would have just said ‘yes’.]

“But wouldn’t it have happened to such a degree?”

[Of course it is. Sure it is, but... There, another incident broke out, so I couldn't take it any longer and it exploded.]

“A case?”

[Oh, why was he famous for having a lot of students from the beginning? In fact, most of the pseudonyms that exist today were born that way. However… From last year to this year, I think his students' grades weren't good.]

“No, how bad was it?”

[I heard that not a single person went on the stage or won the award... … ]

“No one?”

[Yes. It was said that it was because of bad luck or lack of skill... As a result, the people I was attached to as a student couldn't stand it and left... Luckily, even with the people who climbed before that, these days… ]

After listening to the CEO's story, I thought I could understand why Shin Kyung-seung made such an extreme choice.

‘The old man must have lost all his strength.’

In fact, there are not many cases where writers who have been around 30 years since their debut devoted all their energy to creation with all their heart.

Most of the time, when they hired students, started studying in a new field, or gave lectures on the pulpit, they dispersed the passion they had devoted to creation and consolidated their social position.

‘Of course, that’s the story when the students followed suit.’

So, from Shin Seung-seung's point of view, it would have been difficult for him to accept the situation in which everything he had achieved over the past 30 years collapsed in an instant.

After all of the disciples I had raised have disappeared, all that's left is a few faded novels and a fancy name for being an elder.

‘The more I flew high, the more afraid I was of the fall.’

However.

'No, that's why you slap people in the back of the head?'

However, his actions were not justified.If he had been a writer with a normal mindset, he would have been more intense in his creative activities at such times.

And it was the writers who took the frustration out and took the leap to a higher place.

But

'I'm scared of a bear who has tasted honey.'

No matter how you look at it, Shin Kyung-seung seemed to think of himself as an elder and power subject more important than himself as a writer.

so… … .

‘I must have done this to use the easiest and fastest way.’

Of course, I had no intention of going to the front and judging Shin Kyung-seung's actions. After all, I am not the type of person who stays inside the paragraph. Because it was also true that there was a negative force within the paragraph.

However.

‘But I can’t just keep watching.’

Currently, among the writers Shin Kyung-seung has shot, if I had to pick the writers who are under the most pressure, I could pick Park Yeon-seo and Pi Hyeon-deuk.

I don't know if it's Shin Kyung-seung's intention or not, but first of all, it was because they were the people who appeared in the first article he wrote.

So, both for the hermit crab art center, which has just begun to establish itself, and for me, I had to stop Shin Seung-seung.

'Until he receives the Nobel Prize for Literature, not even a single stigma can be tolerated in his name.'

Of course, as Shin Kyung-seung's name and position are rising with tremendous momentum, it is not recommended to respond prematurely.

Even today... … .

[All the stories Shin Kyung-seung says are lies. Don't be fooled!]

[Innocent writers are suffering because of Shin Kyung-seung's lies.]

[I never did that. It's embarrassing.]

Some of the writers who were shot by Shin Kyung-seung clumsily rebutted Shin Kyung-seung's opinion.

[Comment: Yes. Next bill.]

[Comment: Is it okay to filter mainly the people who posted rebuttals?]

[Comment: There was a lot of talk about things that were messed up in the back. is not it?]

Because I've seen a tragic sinking scene.

'You're an old man... Surprisingly, he is quite good at it.’ ’

Therefore, in order to shoot Shin Seong-seung, he had to shoot him from a position where he could not shoot, and with strong firepower that he could not move.

If you give me even the slightest excuse to counterattack, I will have to start a muddy dog ​​fight that will never end.

Well, and if anything, he was confident.

because.

‘If Shin Seung-seung’s weapon is a matchlock, my weapon is a 16-inch gun.’

After I finished the phone call with the representative. I immediately looked in the phone book.

Then soon.
