Chapter 503 – Chapter 503 Mind, Body, and Soul
“Let’s start the briefing.”
Along with Armonia’s words, a huge amount of text and pictures began to fill up on the screen on the desk.
The beginning is the person on the zodiac side.
“My name is Go Min-tae, and I am 60 years old.
President of the Institute for Advanced Biotechnology and Professor at Colkins University, one of the world’s leading universities.”
The face of the person floating on the screen couldn’t possibly look 60 years old.
At most, mid-20s.
No kidding, he looked young enough to believe he was in his early twenties.
And he was a man of enormous social status compared to his appearance.
Well, for the main character, he had a bit of a boring feeling, but he was able to completely erase that thought while listening to Armonia’s explanation.
“His hands are so wide that it is not an exaggeration to say that major figures in the political and business world around the world are his hands and feet.”
“Wow… But how could that be? At best, the representative of the research institute and a university professor? Yes, the position is great, but….”
I didn’t quite understand.
Isn’t it normal that most should be the opposite?
If you have a lot of money or power, the reality is that the head of a research institute or a university professor should stick around.
But there was a simple reason.
And that simple reason was simple and had an enormous ripple effect.
“It is youth. Among the drugs he developed, there is a drug that artificially restores a person’s youth.”
“Kya… After all, even money and power crawl in front of youth….”
Even increasing one’s lifespan would have a huge impact, but if it’s really restoring one’s youth… Rather, it was surprising that there was no war.
Well, if you’re a person with that level of talent, you might have taken that situation into consideration, but….
Once you have figured out the zodiac character.
“But I ran into a problem. Recently, political and business figures are getting out of his hands one by one.”
“Betrayal?”
“It’s pretty much the same. Because of that, he is said to be disrupting his research.”
The research he is conducting is the Evolution Project, which evolves mankind one step further.
The Evolution Project is not just about extending human lifespan and making them healthy… It was a study to achieve the evolution of the real human species.
“Well, I just got a feel for it. In the meantime, there was a lot of money, and there was no problem with research under the protection of power, but you are saying that recently problems have started to arise?”
“That’s right. Confidential information continues to be leaked, and people are said to be leaving. The only thing I found out was that there was a threat.”
“… Threat?”
Are you crazy? You mean he threatened the people with the most money and power?
And the identity of that madman is probably….
“We are assuming that he is a person from the temple. It is said that no matter how much he searched, he could not uncover his identity. We must find him.”
Finding a needle in the sand
And here, the factor that made it harder to find the needle was the initial identity.
So far, we’ve been working with decent identities, but this time we had to create them randomly using Enel.
“I recommend an identity that can be created with 10,000 Enel and 100,000 Enel.”
“Write… Let’s pass 100,000.”
“Then I will set it to 10,000 energy.”
Of course, 100,000 Enel would be good.
But right now we have 100,000 Enel in our hands, and if we spend all of this and then a problem arises, the answer really is gone.
“Then the briefing will end. I will explain the rest step by step at the mission site.”
“Great! Let’s go!”
One million Enel, wait. I’m coming!
..
..
I murmured inwardly as I looked at the crap unfolding before my eyes.
‘One million Enel bastards….’
The reason I cursed at Enel was simple.
Isn’t there an unemployed person who curses the world because he doesn’t have money? It was no different from their feelings.
Wouldn’t everyone curse money just because they’re unemployed?
Not. Curse
How do you know that….
‘Wow… I never dreamed that I would become an unemployed man.’
Because now I am unemployed.
The status he created with 10,000 Enel was an orphaned unemployed man who had no family or relatives, let alone a job.
Even the place where the unemployed lived was more spectacle.
‘I’m glad I have a house. It’s a piece of shit, so it’s a problem.’
Located on the 4th floor of a 5-story villa.
15 pyeong two rooms.
Still, the former owner here is just a good landlord who handed over the house to dust free of charge, and he hasn’t handed over the house to the bugs yet.
If there were bugs, I would never have slept here.
[Sorry. Because that position is the best….]
‘I’ve said it before, but don’t apologize. The problem is that the house is open, not the house itself. And you said you only need to hold out for a week?’
[That’s right. The Zodiac side said that if you wait for time, it will send you perfectly laundered funds.]
Even if the current zodiac person was cornered, money did not suddenly evaporate.
I was in a situation where I was contacted saying that even though it would be difficult to forge my identity, I would somehow provide the money I needed to live within a week.
Zodiac contacted her saying that she would hand over the money as secretly as possible by mobilizing all of her abilities.
First of all, all I had to do for a week was to walk around this worldview and observe how the world was going.
‘What the hell was the original owner doing?’
[My name is Lee Min-soo, and I am currently 26 years old. His height and body type are the same as Suho’s. He has a different appearance, but since he died a year ago, I haven’t met anyone, so if you explain that he’s changed, there will be no problem.]
‘How did he die?’
[As a member of the radical protesters, he secretly infiltrated the laboratory, but was caught in the doctor’s security facility and died. He said the body was disposed of as secretly as possible.]
‘What’s up….’
It’s a pity that he died, but he deserved to die. Why did you sneak into someone else’s facility, you crazy bastard….
In other words, it has been a year since he died, and he has no acquaintances at all.
The only thing that was altered using Enel was the fingerprint.
Once everything has been sorted out.
Then….
“… Let’s clean up first.”
It was time to liberate this house from the dominion of dust.
..
..
Looking at the tidy house, I sighed.
“Lena, thank you as always.”
“On the contrary, I am happy to be of help.”
I wouldn’t know if it was simply dusting off, but it was impossible for me to clean the previous state by myself.
In the end, I had no choice but to ask Lena for help.
And there was a fact that I found out while cleaning the house, that the electricity, water, and gas were still alive.
Even if you leave your house for a year, you will still pay the basic bills, but the fact that there are no problems with basic facilities meant that there is a possibility that there will be money in your bank account.
“Still, it seems that he had enough money to live on before he died. That’s interesting. If you lived as your own house at the age of 24, you must have worked hard enough….”
But why white?
[Originally, he was a person who worked diligently as a program developer, but he seems to have changed his mind after seeing the protest two years ago.]
Armonia’s guess was that he had suddenly retired two years ago and joined the protesters.
But in the end it was all guesswork.
What can we know about the dead guy….
“Dead guy…. For a moment! There is a way to find out!”
It was a skill I hadn’t learned in a while, so I forgot about it again.
I immediately began summoning the original owner of this identity using Spirit Summoning.
And as if the summoning was successful, a soul with a stupid expression popped out in front of me.
Hehe! What, what!?)
“Hello, Minsu Lee?”
(Everyone, who are you!? And… W, this is my house!)
Great. Once identity verification is complete.
I didn’t really want to have a long conversation with a guy, so I briefly introduced myself and started asking questions.
“You don’t need to know who I am… I think it’s kind of like a shaman. The reason I called you is simple. Tell me something about you.”
(Me… About me?)
At first, Lee Min-soo, who was wary of me, began to ask me questions.
(Rather, I want to ask! Who are you to my house… And how did I get here… Ah! Could I possibly be alive?)
“That’s a lot to say….”
It was a response that could have seemed unkind, but there was no reason to force the conversation.
I have no reason to give my time to a guy who can only help me with simple information.
“If you’re not going to answer my question, I’ll just send it back.”
(Now, wait a minute… Oh, okay. Let me ask you a question…. Instead, tell me what the situation is….)
A guy named Lee Min-soo realized that I had summoned him in the present world and began to keep a low stance.
This attitude is good.
“Great. First, explain yourself as best you can. What did you do right before you died?”
(I… I was from Humanity Protection Society right before I died.)
Society for the Protection of Humanity.
Apart from the word association, it was a radical protest group created for the purpose of disrupting Koh Tae-tae’s research.
Lee Min-soo, who had been working diligently, was tricked by a person in the association by chance and after retiring, he said that he became a member of the organization.
And once he had gone down the wrong path, he did not look back and took up the risky task.
One of those dangerous orders was to infiltrate Koh Tae-tae’s research institute established in Korea.
(Haa… I regret it madly now… But it’s already in the past.)
“….”
Still, it was fortunate that he came to his senses after he died.
If you hadn’t come to your senses and made a fuss in front of me right now, I would have sent you to the afterlife after an earthquake with thunder attribute magic.
(You… Can’t save me?)
“Sounds natural. I don’t even have the knack of raising the dead.”
(Yes… Of course.)
Even after death, he was well aware of reality.
It’s a guy I haven’t met in a while, but there’s something I like about it.
Even if you are a man, you don’t have to hate it to listen well.
However, Lee Min-soo suddenly started glancing at Lena who was next to me.
(….)
It was natural.
If she was at the level of Lena, even if she went outside right now, she would receive countless stares.
I’m not kidding, it’s because I have such an outstanding appearance that countless people will stick to me when I walk around the city and ask if I should become a celebrity or a model.
But that’s it….
“You bastard, take a look. Where does she find someone else’s woman….”
(Hee! Me, sorry!)
I liked her until just now, but when she saw her pitying her, she started to lose her temper.
“Anyway, I got it roughly. Then the Human Supplement Society?”
(Humanity Protection Association….)
“Oh, sorry, I was confused with something else. Anyway… Tell me something about it.”
(….)
Lee Min-soo didn’t answer my question and started to put on a look of deep thought.
Then he nodded and began to answer.
(Okay. I’m just saying what I know, it’s not hard.)
“Oh, cooperative. Great. Then….”
(Instead, I have a request.)
Well then….
Things can’t be solved easily.
When Lee Min-soo saw my annoyed expression on my face, he was startled and started talking gibberish.
(Tongue, if you see me trying to find out about the association, isn’t it because you want to retaliate?)
“Retribution… I don’t have anything to say, I just want to know?”
I also heard the name of the association for the first time today whether it is for the protection of mankind or for the supplementation of mankind.
The reason I wanted to know about the association was just part of the search for the main character.
‘It looks like there’s something to infiltrate a guy like this into the lab.’
It could be just a group of nerds, but there was nothing wrong with knowing as much as possible.
(Please! If you feel like you’re in danger, I’ll give up!)
“Hmm….”
(And there’s a limit to what I can tell you right now. Even if I try to tell you all at once, it’s not easy to explain…)
It made sense.
Memory is not an organized, easy-to-retrieve system arranged in series.
It was a system called memory, where everything was jumbled together and well hidden when not needed.
Even if I were told to tell him everything right away, the fact that Lee Min-soo could tell me would be sparsely clumsy.
In other words, it was a story that I might have to summon again.
“Great. Let’s hear what your request is for now.”
(Ohh! Thanks!)
If it’s annoying or impossible, just don’t listen.
He also said that he would give up if he judged that it was difficult….
Lee Min-soo cheered and started talking to me in a desperate voice.
(Avenge me… The guy who made me like this!)
