Chapter 538 – Chapter 538 Mind, Body, and Soul
Kang Han-na’s small pupil was filled with square CCTV screens.
Then, with a faint sound in her ears, the video started playing.
– Kang Han-cheol… Me… Worry… Main….-
At first glance, it’s just a mumble that sounds like a drool.
The voice contained in the CCTV video could not accurately catch those words.
But the problem was something else in it.
-….-
Kang Han-na, muttering in her sleep, was hugging the man.
The man was looking at Kang Han Na curiously with clear eyes.
If it were that man, he would have been able to reliably hear all the murmurs she made.
No, I heard
Strong I bit her lip and remembered the words the man had whispered to her earlier.
-Who is Kang Han-cheol?-
-What is that….-
– He muttered in his sleep earlier. They say they don’t want to infiltrate the lab, and they want to kill Go Min-tae and finish it.-
-!?-
-Actually, I kept reciting other stories… I don’t think this is what we’re talking about right now.-
-….-
It’s just a dream.
Sometimes people have dreams they don’t want.
And it’s human to dream dreams that shouldn’t be dreamed….
The man who said that laughed out loud and at the same time left Kang Han-na with a word and went to her bathroom.
-I look forward to drinking later.-
-….-
Kang Han Na had no veto.
But looking at it right now, there was a way to veto.
‘Fortunately, the CCTV didn’t catch the exact sound. I can’t be sure with this.’
But the real problem wasn’t the CCTV.
‘Lee Min-soo… I’m not going to blindly believe what that man says.’
This was Go Min-tae’s laboratory, and there was no persuasiveness in the words of outsiders.
It is not a member of the National Assembly or a person holding an important position, it is just an ordinary person.
But Kang Han Na was sure.
‘The moment you hear that man’s story, you’ll run like crazy….’
As soon as the man’s words reached the ears of the members of the drinking party yesterday, the investigation will begin.
And once the investigation goes on, the pods that weren’t there will be caught.
Because this is such a place….
Kang Han-na now had two options to choose from.
‘Kill Lee Min-soo?’
This is extraterritorial jurisdiction.
If I killed that man in any way, I could erase Kang Han Na’s weakness in his head.
But the way….
‘No! It’s impossible to secretly kill even me.’
The way Kang Han-na can choose to kill Lee Min-soo is to use the security system.
Because if she were, she could force kill orders into her system.
But suddenly killing someone who has done nothing wrong?
‘Do you kill me because you were in a bad mood because of what happened yesterday? Nope… I don’t know if he broke in secretly, but if he came with a member of the council, there will definitely be an investigation.’
In the end, the only thing Kang Han Na could choose was the other one.
‘First… I need to contact Hancheol.’
It was too dangerous to decide everything alone.
At the moment of twisting, there was a high possibility that not only himself, but also the strong railroad would be driven into a dangerous situation.
Strong I made that decision and left her CCTV room with her tousled red hair flying.
..
..
When Kang Han-na contacted Kang Han-cheol through her emergency contact network, there was no regard or greeting in her voice that came to him.
– Kang Han-na, it just went well.-
A man who, as always, only spits out his own words.
However, his line made Kang Han Na’s heart melt.
It was because Kang Han-cheol asked for the name of the man he was aiming for as if he understood his intentions.
-Didn’t a bastard named Lee Min-soo go to your research institute?-
“… Why is that person?”
Kang Han Na asked back as if she had no interest in the man.
Expected.
Such anticipation that Kang Han-cheol was already aware of his precariousness and wanted to help.
But that hope was quickly shattered.
-Approach Lee Min-soo and find out if he’s hiding something.-
-… What?-
-That bastard, Ko Min-tae seems to have something.-
Kang Han-cheol started talking about Lee Min-soo.
A large amount of donations given to a candidate with a slim chance of winning, and the meticulousness of thoroughly hiding oneself, and….
-I don’t think it was a coincidence that I entered Ko Min-tae’s laboratory.-
“….”
Kang Han-na heard Kang Han-cheol’s words and started kneading her temples.
‘If Han-cheol could talk like this….’
With the hangover from the alcohol I drank yesterday, I started getting a headache.
The words he accidentally uttered in his sleep must have reached the ears of the person Kang Kang-cheol was wary of.
Kang Han Na kneaded both temples with her long fingers and pondered.
‘Should I tell Hancheol about what happened earlier?’
But the worry didn’t last long.
‘Nope. Lee Min-soo… If that person was really Go Min-tae’s nephew, he would have caught me a long time ago without looking at me for nothing. For now, let’s keep watching from the side today.’
I made up my mind, and she didn’t tell Kang Han-cheol what had happened earlier.
“Okay. I’ll stick around and check it out.”
-Yes, call me back if you find out anything.-
“Hancheol-ah, Shiho….”
Pop.
Kang Kang-cheol’s contact had ended with that.
Kang Han-na laughed at Kang Kang-cheol’s disconnected contact.
“Shiho… How are you? Tell me….”
She spoke as if she were asking someone, but her voice didn’t reach anyone.
***
Me and the lawmakers started to receive guidance right after breakfast.
The first place we visited was the Nervous System Laboratory.
It was a research institute managed by Kang Han-na as her supervisor.
I was able to see the facilities inside her laboratory under my strong guidance.
And looking at it like that, I thought of one impression.
‘Thank you for your kind words. It’s a real field trip, field trip.’
The moment I won the election, it wasn’t difficult to do something like this that I didn’t have.
Nevertheless, I came to think that such an act of showing thanks, and that is close to a field trip, is to discipline the lawmakers.
‘It’s a place to kick out half of them in the beginning, kill the momentum, and prove to the remaining people that ‘we have such great technology!’
Auditors who tried to control the institute were caught by politicians on the contrary.
And the politicians who were caught in that way admired Kang Han-na’s explanation.
“Oh oh… To see this with your own eyes….”
“It’s amazing. How is this possible….”
“The danger… Ah! It’s not that I doubt it, I’m worried….”
Lawmakers who are wary of even expressing their opinions….
And Kang Han-na, who plays the role of catching the lawmakers who notice that way.
“You can rest assured that we are conducting the research with full consideration of the risks.”
Kang Han Na, who explained that to the lawmaker, glanced at me.
Anxiety was creeping up from his eyes.
The lawmakers noticed Kang Han-na, and Kang Han-na noticed me.
‘I’m glad I didn’t do anything stupid.’
I quietly leaked her threatening comments to Kang Han-na in the morning.
If Kang Han-na had checked her CCTV, she would have definitely realized her situation.
She was afraid that she might threaten me with a sense of repulsion, but given the current situation, she seemed likely to keep quiet for a while.
‘Well, I’m not the kind of person who would easily get hurt even if I did something stupid….’
Rather, if he made a threat to me, he planned to use it as an excuse to push for a stronger threat.
I looked into her dreams, and as soon as I got out of her dreams, I hypnotized her based on her memories.
The content of hypnosis was simply to mumble in sleep.
In return, the hypnosis gauge was sucked out….
=====
Hypnosis Gauge: 55%
=====
The hypnosis gauge, which had been less than 10% until now, was already able to recover to 55% before lunch.
‘Well, if we make eye contact like this every day, 100% is free.’
Under the strong guidance of me, I dutifully filled her hypnosis gauge.
As she proceeded with the tour-like audit, she was able to hear an explanation of the last research at the Nervous System Institute.
It was a research that I was interested in enough to prick my ears, which I had not been interested in until now.
Strong, I started her explanation while holding a string similar to an apricot-colored masking tape.
“This is the ultimate research achievement in our lab, the remote-controlled neural cord.”
While everyone was confused about what to do, she smiled and called one of the researchers.
‘Nice… As expected, the more I see it, the more I like it.’
In the morning, the strong me who looked at me came to her senses and was back as calm as yesterday.
A personality that clearly distinguishes between public and private.
I really liked it.
“Put it on.”
The strong flying made her walk on the arm of the researcher she called, and she attached a nerve cord to his wrist.
I just wrapped a string around the researcher’s wrist, but the nerve cord stuck to the wrist nicely.
Strong I attached nerve cords to her unnamed researcher’s wrist, and she displayed a replica of her hand, which was decorated elsewhere, on her hand.
Her hands are like….
“It’s not a model, but your hands are alive like the real thing.”
As Jouman said, it was a sophisticated hand that gave off a real feel.
I, who is strong, listened to Jo Woo-man’s words and replied with a smile on her face.
“It’s a real hand.”
“… Yes?”
“This is a real human body for the future, developed by our laboratory, that is, the body cloning laboratory.”
Everyone started to mumble.
What would you think if you just put a hand model and say it’s a real hand….
“I prefer to show you rather than talk.”
Strong I winked at her researcher, who had attached nerve cords to her wrists.
And as soon as the researcher nodded her head….
Casting, casting.
The hand that had been her model suddenly opened and closed her fist at will.
At first glance, it could be thought that it was moving because the machine was installed inside the hand model.
However, the movement of the hand model was then beyond the scope.
Casting, casting, casting.
It was showing sophisticated, lively movements like a real human hand.
After making several movements like that, Kang Han Na glanced at the researcher and her hands stopped.
Kang Han-na resumed her explanation after seeing the stopped hand.
“Our ultimate goal is a new evolution of humanity, but there is a first hurdle before that. It is a bodily defect.”
People live with injuries for various reasons.
However, such wounds can be gradually recovered through the regenerative function of the human body.
But the defect is a different story.
If a hand is cut off or a leg is cut off and lost, that part can never be restored.
In other words, what was developed for that purpose was the neural cord and the separate body.
“This is how you develop a separate body and connect it with a neural cord. It is a technique to replace lost bodies with it.”
He said that the separate body of the hand model in front of us is being created based on the outstanding human genes.
In other words, you can use the perfect genes of others as your own body.
“This is the first stage, and we are aiming for restoration. However, in the future, the day may come when humans can transform all their bodies into the superior body they desire.”
Not a cyberpunk-like robot, but a modified human using a real body.
Because it is someone else’s body, there may be a sense of rejection, but even that will be for a while.
Kang Han-na’s future remodeled human beings were not just tall and superior human beings with gorgeous looks.
It meant a body that is free from disease and can dream of eternal life.
There would be quite a bit of resistance in the ethical part, but there was no human here to speak about that.
“Oh oh… How amazing!”
Everyone was just admiring the nerve strings and the separated body.
In the first place, they are full of goodwill towards Go Min-tae….
I was interested too.
‘It’s not enough just to be young. As a result, the goal is to get a perfect body….’
A perfect body created by extracting only superior genes.
But I didn’t like the future.
[Don’t you like it?]
‘Well, it would be nice to live a long life without getting sick, but….’
I laughed as I watched the arm model connected to the researcher’s neural cord move little by little.
‘I am good because I am me. It’s not like I’m going into someone else’s body for a moment, and I can’t imagine throwing my body away.’
[….]
But apart from that, I had no intention of disparaging the study.
Because the final form of human beings that Go Min-tae wanted was perfect.
After the explanation of the nerve cord and the separated body was finished, we finished the appreciation like the tour that day.
At the same time as I finished like that, Kang Han-na came up to me and whispered quietly so that no one else could hear.
“Let’s talk for a minute.”
