Chapter 504 – Chapter 504 Mind, Body, and Soul
I misunderstood at first.
The decisive reason for Lee Min-soo’s death was that he died while infiltrating Go Min-tae’s laboratory.
If that was the case, Lee Min-soo couldn’t accept the request. Because it is impossible for me to kill Ko Min-tae.
However, the target of his revenge was not Go Min-tae.
(I’m the guy who seduced the association… Get your revenge on him.)
“Aha! No big deal.”
(Uh!? Is it possible?)
“If it’s revenge, don’t you want me to kill you? Is it possible. I’ll kill you later.”
I don’t know right now, but later, before leaving this world, it’s enough to hit it once with lightning and bounce.
(Note, to kill… That, that’s also…)
“….”
After spitting out the word revenge with my own mouth, I felt uneasy when I remembered the extreme situation.
Why is the dead man so lacking in spirit….
I looked at him with a pathetic expression and said.
“Couldn’t revenge mean just knocking him over and breaking his nose? It’s possible. I don’t like it because it’s more annoying.”
It can be easily solved by using wind attribute magic or persistence magic.
However, the problem is that it is harder for me to fall and break my nose than to kill.
Breaking the nose is a matter of probability, but killing is possible with a guaranteed blow.
Lee Min-soo thought about it for a moment when I said it bluntly, and then started to nod his head.
(Ah… No. I think it’s better to kill if you can. He’s a really bad guy….)
After thatheheard about the guy from Lee Min-soo and said that he was in charge of seducing people, including himself.
He was so tempted and enticed into criminal acts….
‘It’s bad.
[Could it be a person from the temple….]
‘No, that’s not it. Are you sure.’
Didn’t he get caught by the Zodiac while barely surviving?
It can’t be.
The guy who took advantage of Lee Min-soo just seemed like a guy with a talent for preying on people.
Once the situation has been sorted out.
Since I can continue to communicate with the person who is the owner of my status, the possibility of problems is significantly reduced.
If you have any problems with your identity, just call Lee Min-soo directly and everything will be resolved.
And the house problem….
(For now, you can use the house however you like. I can’t use it anymore anyway.)
“Don’t worry. I was going to do that even if you didn’t have to say that.”
(….)
Why are you making that face, man? They also release grudges, isn’t it natural that they do that much?
There was no landlord for a year, and it was fortunate that the house was in normal condition.
I picked up the remote control, turned on the TV, and spoke to Minsu Lee.
“I will call you again later. Because I don’t think I can go out today anyway.”
In fact, I could go out if I wanted to, but I was currently unable to send Lena to the ship.
When warping, I didn’t even think about cleaning, so I used warp continuously, and because of that, the warp gauge was all exhausted, so I couldn’t help it.
I wanted to date Lena in the new world, but I was on a secret mission right now, so it was awkward to take her outside.
But I hated leaving it alone.
Lee Min-soo looked at me changing the channel with the remote control and started asking questions while hesitating.
(Hey… Hey… Can we just stay here? I won’t disturb!)
“No.”
(Why why!?)
“….”
I want to have sex with Lena… I couldn’t say
“Don’t worry, I will call you again. And while you’re waiting over there, get information from the guys who belonged to the Human Thing Association. Isn’t there someone who knows information you don’t know?”
(Oh, okay! There are guys like me who are gnashing their teeth for revenge. Everyone will tell you frankly!)
That’s good.
Just as he was about to return to the afterlife, I called him.
“Hey, wait….”
(Why? Maybe I could stay here…)
Looking at Lee Min-soo, who was swollen with anticipation, I asked with a blunt expression.
“What is this IPTV password?”
(….)
I mean, free movies aren’t going to be so fucking fun. Tell me soon
..
..
The next day, after Lena went back to the ship, I went out alone and started exploring the city.
While on the bus, I looked out the window and admired it.
‘Wow, I think this one is far superior in terms of technology?’
Armonia said that the science power was similar to where I lived when the mission started, but that was Armonia’s standard.
Science and technology here was at least one level more advanced than the modern times I lived in.
Even in terms of technology, there was a strong feeling that they were ahead of the consulate.
All means of transportation used electric energy and moved without noise, and all roads were made up of electric stations, so there was no need for charging stations because automatic charging continued.
Even everything was automated so there was no need for a human to drive.
And when using facilities or purchasing goods, all of them could be solved with fingerprints.
‘Because the money is going out of Lee Min-soo’s bank account.’
Lee Min-soo… There was quite a bit more money saved up than I thought.
Before joining the idiot group, he was a sincere guy who saved money diligently and never lavished himself.
Thanks to that sincerity, I thought I wouldn’t have to worry about money for a while.
‘I had about 10 million won in my bank account, but that’s enough to play and eat for a week. I have to use it up!’
[….]
Anyway, after a week, he said he would secretly support the funds, so I’ll just have to hold on until then.
‘Couldn’t they give me 100,000 won or 200,000 won as a secret fund?’
Even if you run the minimum hourly part-time job here, I thought the daily wage would be more than that.
[I have said that I will send an amount that is not lacking.]
‘Ah, at least it would be nice to give it to Enel. Wouldn’t it be convenient to make money out of it? You won’t have to worry about getting caught….’
[They also lack Enel. Money in this world is infinite, but Enel is not.]
‘But….’
Actually, that was just what I said.
He already realized how great Enel was.
It is possible to make money with Enel, but it is impossible to make Enel with money….
There are also valuable issues.
Even if 10,000 won can be made with 1 energy, it does not mean that 1 energy and 10,000 won have the same value.
The best way to use Enel is to use it for means that can only be used with Enel.
In our case, ship upgrades were a representative example.
Because upgrading the ship is absolutely impossible without Enel.
While I was thinking that, the bus sounded an announcement and slowly started to stop.
〈This stop is the Institute of Advanced Biotechnology.〉
Here it is.
Institute of Advanced Biotechnology.
It was a research institute in the Korean branch run by Dr. Koh Min-tae, a figure of the Zodiac.
When you think of a laboratory, you would think it would be just a shiny new white building, but it wasn’t like that at all.
What I saw before my eyes was more like a campus than a research institute.
It occupied a vast site, and dozens of research institutes were spread out so that they could not be seen at a glance.
Rather than a research institute, the term “Research complex” Was more appropriate.
Then why did I come to this research complex?
To meet Go Min-tae?
Of course not.
Zodiac’s advice was to not make eye contact with Go Min-tae if possible.
He had to proceed with the mission to eliminate as much connection with him as possible.
There was another reason why I visited this research complex.
As soon as I got off the bus, I saw the research complex, and the sound of the loudspeakers began to hit my ears.
〈 Go Min-tae, stop experimenting that harms mankind!〉
And at the same time as the sound of the loudspeaker ended, I began to hear the shouts of people who seemed to tear my eardrums.
“Stop! Stop! Abort!”
I frowned and poked my ears with both index fingers to block them.
‘It’s loud once….’
I was expecting it to be noisy.
Because I already knew there was a protest.
‘Did the news you saw in the morning seem written down because it was morning? It’s no joke since it’s lunchtime.’
I went to bed with Lena the night before and as soon as I woke up, I turned on the news without thinking.
But just as it happened, the news came that a protest was taking place in this place today.
I wasn’t sure, but the number of people gathered seemed to exceed 10,000.
The bus I rode earlier dropped me off at the stop, and I couldn’t get out of this place because of the overflow of people.
‘When I go back, I’ll have a hard time.’
If I didn’t get out of the way before the protest was over, it seemed that the way home would turn into hell.
I started hanging around, trying to avoid getting into the crowded crowd as much as possible.
For some reason, countless people in this place were burning with rage in their pupils, as if a punch would fly if they just brushed their shoulders.
As I was hovering around a less crowded place, Armonia started asking me.
[Suho, what was the reason you came here? Did you come just to watch the demonstration?]
‘That’s right, but…. Wouldn’t it be impossible for all these people to look at the temperament window?’
[It’s possible with the remaining Enel, but… Not recommended.]
‘Don’t worry. I just did it.’
Looking at the substrate window also consumes energy.
An ordinary human’s temperament consumes 2-3 energy, and the higher the ability, the higher the consumption.
In other words, at least 20,000 Enel would be needed to open 10,000 temperament windows.
Roughly calculating the required energy, even 30,000 to 40,000 had to be considered.
It was too much of a gamble to spend it looking for a temple guy who might be there.
‘And I don’t think I’ll be here….’
The only way to hide your identity is to hide among people.
Go Min-tae is not stupid… I’m sure you’ve tracked down all the people who are among these people.
[Then why are you here?]
There was no need to look at the temperament window, and there was no excessive feeling that I had just come because I was bored.
But even so, the reason I came here was simple.
‘To try it.’
[… ?]
I went up to the podium in the middle of the protest group and started to look closely at the man shouting.
〈Go Min-tae is a demon who will lead mankind to ruin!〉
He was instigating people like the head of a pseudo-religion leading fanatics.
I smiled as I watched him agitate people through a loudspeaker.
‘How far will hypnotism work?’
As I focused my attention on the agitator on the podium, a status window began to pop up above his head.
=====
Hypnosis Gauge 1%
=====
The start was fine.
As I started to fill the gauge, Armonia started expressing doubts.
[Even if you are going to practice hypnotism, why is it necessary to be here?]
‘Making eye contact with people isn’t as easy as I thought.’
Think about it.
Wouldn’t you be wary if someone suddenly looked at you on the road?
But it doesn’t suit me to look out the window and secretly stare at passers-by….
‘Even if you look carefully at a crowded place like this, you don’t get suspicious. Especially like that….’
〈Go Min-tae is a demon who will make God angry and destroy us!〉
‘If you’re a human who needs to keep everyone in your eyes, you can say it’s the best condition to test.’
But while the conditions were optimal for testing, there was a problem.
=====
Hypnosis Gauge 1%
=====
‘It doesn’t rise from 1%….’
[Maybe it’s because the distance is too far.]
‘Tsk… Well, if the gauge can be filled from such a long distance, it’s a buy.’
It was even stated in the explanation that the speed of the gauge varies depending on the opponent’s ability.
‘Ha… I don’t want to go in among people.’
[How about experimenting with people nearby?]
‘Nope. Rather, it would be best to test it through that human to see if the kicking speed differs depending on the distance.’
Annoyingly, I entered the crowd and began cautiously approaching the podium.
Those who took part in the demonstration looked angry, but they did not raise a fight because their shoulders were bumped.
Before I knew it, I was able to approach the podium in the center of the protesters.
‘Great. I wonder if the speed of the gauge will change if it’s this close.’
It was the moment I looked at the person shouting with a loudspeaker with such a question.
‘Ohhhhh! Fast!’
=====
Hypnosis Gauge 4%
=====
As I approached and filled the gauge, it quickly rose to 4%.
First of all, I could see that the speed of filling the gauge differs depending on the distance, and even ordinary people can see that the speed of kicking is extremely fast.
The guy on the podium was shouting like he was doing something great, but the ability displayed in the temperament window was insignificant.
It was as if I hadn’t been studying.
The gauge was able to fill 100% in just 10 minutes.
=====
Hypnosis Gauge 100%
=====
The preparations are complete.
This is where I started to go into trouble for a while.
‘What shall I do….’
At first, his personality seemed bad. She was excitable and seemed to enjoy stirring up people as much as she did on stage.
Are you a bad guy… It was awkward for that.
But nonetheless I came up with the best excuse and started to hypnotize him.
‘This rally itself is an insult to my client!’
[….]
Thinking so, I began to give orders to him.
As soon as I gave the order to my heart, the guy on the podium began to carry out the order.
〈 Everyone! I! I’ll show you how determined I am here!〉
The guy on the podium suddenly started taking off his clothes.
“Kyaaaaa!!”
The assembly began to turn into mayhem at that moment.
His angry eyes cooled and began to fill with disgust.
But even so, the man did not stop and continued to take off his clothes and start running at people.
〈Look at me! Everyone! My pure self!! A figure full of will!! 〉
“Kyaaaaa!!”
“What, what! Do not come!!”
I opened my eyes slowly, hearing screams coming from far away.
‘Oh, I almost threw my eyes away.’
[Are you not going to do memory manipulation?]
‘Yes, this is not Yggdrasil. Rather, if you want to experiment, it’s best to stop at this point.’
It’s probably only mental manipulation, so when the hypnosis is released later, the memory will remain.
But no one will know if it is hypnosis.
This place doesn’t have a surveillance system like Yggdrasil.
With a hearty smile on my face, I began to slowly make my way through the chaos of protesters.
But that was the moment.
I stopped in a crowded place and started staring blankly at the sky.
And asked
‘Armonia… Can you see that?’
[I see it.]
‘I’m not looking at it wrong, right?’
[Looking at Suho’s reaction, it seems to be the same as what I see.]
In the sky…
‘Seeing that no one but me is interested, it seems clear that this isn’t the world’s latest reconnaissance technology.’
A woman wearing a sophisticated hanbok with long fox ears and a tail was floating in the sky, looking curiously toward her podium.
