Chapter 1957 – 1957. Hot
Hacking was successful.
Even that, he was able to hack the Machine Emperor for as long as one minute. It was enough to be able to hack for 20 seconds, but I was able to hack three times more than I expected. It may not be overtechnology that is far superior to what I thought.
I modified the command rights already set by him. He is no longer the supreme commanding authority. I was above the command of the bastard. The absolute master of the mechanical emperor was me.
‘It’s not bad to run away with the mechanical emperor right now. Your most cherished treasure has been stolen, and that alone is enough to upset you. Because the long-prepared plan was destroyed.’
But I’ve been through something, so do you think it’s right to end it here? I wanted to feed him a bigger candy.
‘Once you get your hands on something new, you want to try it out. It’s no different than being a giant robot. He’ll get things done sooner or later.’
I don’t know how to use the mechanical emperor. As usual, you can terrorize any city in Japan, and before that, you can inject the mechanical emperor into the dungeon.
‘Hey.’
“Yes. Please tell me The best of sex, Eugene Seong.”
‘Long. Call me sex zone.’
“Yes. Sex zone.”
The mechanical emperor was obedient. Seeing him talking to him earlier, he seems to have a pretty good personality for an artificial intelligence, isn’t he pretending to be compliant?
‘It’s a useless idea. I’ve already been hacked, so what?’
Hacking was absolute to machines. From the moment it was hacked, the foundation was shaken. If I order you to self-destruct, you will do so without hesitation.
‘When the decisive moment comes, I will give him a shot. Until then, pretend to follow him.’
“All right.”
There are still more than 30 seconds left to hack.
‘Do you know anything about him? Like exact abilities or weaknesses. Do you have a family you care about?’
“Not in data. Information about him is limited.”
‘Tell me what you know.’
“His name is Hase. He is one of Japan’s leading onmyojis as an executive of White Rim. He is called the Hase of the Thousand Yokai (千妖) because he can command a thousand yōkai. His real name is Nobuki Hasegawa. In the case of his family, his mother and older brother were caught up in a yakuza uprising and died, and his father, a civil servant, committed suicide taking responsibility for a gas explosion accident caused by poor management. He goes missing in the second year of middle school and then begins his terrorist activities as a member of Baekrim 8 years later.”
‘Is the motive for entering Baekrim a family affair? I must be annoyed with Japan now.’
In Japan, when an accident occurs, it often ends with an apology and responsibility rather than dealing with the accident. It is also rare for a high-ranking official to take responsibility. Managers step in and take responsibility and take all the blame.
In addition, the power of the Yakuza was strong in Japan. It is already openly active to some extent in both countries. Japan’s Awakeners often fell for the yakuza, who were more prone to violence. In Japan, there is an open saying that it is better to work as a yakuza than a hunter when you get stronger. Well, I think the information was leaked by the Yakuza.
‘What about his abilities?’
“Not in data.”
‘Other things about Baeklim…’
[The effect of hacking ends after time.]
‘Shit.’
1 minute was short. After the continuous effect of hacking ended, my will was not conveyed to the Machine Emperor. Right now I’m sealed inside the Machine Emperor, so I can’t speak to him directly. Only when connected to hacking could he send his will to the Machine Emperor.
‘The hacking cooldown is 3 hours… I’ll be bored for the next 3 hours. I’m going to have sex and come back.’
[The game begins.]

“Is this right?”
Han Ah-young asked the team leader of the KP guild. An expert in tracking, he replied in a confident tone.
“This is the right place. My ability tells you roughly where the object you’re looking for is located. The problem is that it is too approximate, but… There are team members here.”
He looked at one of the team members. He is a man who was covering his lower body including his nose with a mask. He lowered his mask and held Sung Eugene’s clothes to his nose and sniffed. Then he sniffed into the air.
“This is correct. The smell of the target is on Mt. Unfortunately, the exact location is unknown, but the direction is known. You can go over there.”
Another team member stepped in.
“I can see the reactions of life around me. You can tell the difference between monsters and humans. But strangely, there is little life response in the direction you want to go. There is no human life response… There is almost no life response from monsters.”
Only one point on Mount Fuji was like that. I would have doubted if it had been the same at other points, but this point raised my doubts.
Han Ah-young realized that the distance between her and Seong Yu-jin was gradually narrowing. I thought the KP guild did a good job hiring them. Still, his anxiety did not go away. He proceeded as quickly as possible, but Seong Yu-jin disappeared and nearly three days had already passed. It was enough time for Baek Rim to kill Seong Yu-jin.
‘… No. Eugene won’t be taken down so easily.’
Han Ah-young recalled Seong Yu-jin’s strength and talent, and she tried to hide her uneasiness. She turns her gaze back for a moment. There was a woman dressed as a staff member who pulled down her hat and covered her face with a mask. It was Han Ha-rin who hid her identity.
‘Harin must have suffered more. Because I had to see Sung Eugene disappear right in front of her eyes.’
According to Han Ha-rin, she was not intentionally kidnapped. The accident happened when Eugene Seong, who was blinded by the treasure called the heart of a phoenix, was greedy for her.
She gets greedy and meets bad results. It itself seemed like a typical fairy tale story. The problem was that as a person involved in the accident, we couldn’t just be surprised.
“It is a barrier. I heard that the guy Ah-Young Han is chasing is one of Japan’s best Onmyoji… True to its reputation, it’s a pretty good yin-yang barrier.”
Said one of KP’s guild members. Han Ah-yeong asked him.
“Is it a dangerous barrier?”
“It is not. It is a barrier created for the purpose of concealment. It’s a barrier that makes people and monsters who have no purpose instinctively avoid this direction. There is no particular risk. It is blocked by an invisible wall. If you break this barrier wall, Onmyoji will 100% notice.”
“… Wouldn’t Baekrim already know about our existence?”
Unlike Han Ha-rin, Han Ah-yeong, who became so famous, she could not enter Japan quietly. The world was paying attention to her every move. Baekrim must have already noticed Han Ah-young’s existence. Maybe she is preparing something to make Han Ah-yeong difficult in this barrier.
“There is a good chance that you don’t know. Tribes such as wizards and onmyoji are basically not very interested in the world. I don’t think it would be any different as a Chunyo’s Onmyoji.”
“This barrier…”
“I will handle it. I am an expert in this field. In particular, breaking or breaking barriers is one of my strengths. I’m trying to break this barrier, but it’s too big, so I’m going to drill a hole through it. The owner of the barrier will not even know that the barrier has been breached.”
Experts were not experts for nothing. I drilled a hole in the barrier in 15 minutes. Han Ah-young and the others went inside without hesitation. The rear end was an afterthought. Since the opponent is Baekrim, the Japanese Hunter Association or Japanese information and media will like it. No matter how grandiose a cause Baeklim brings out, it is still a terrorist organization.
They found a village. A village made up of traditional folk houses. Inside the village were huge machines that could be used in factories.
There were traces of the machine running, but no one. Han Ah-young looked carefully through the village. However, Sung Yu-jin was not there. Something was going on here, but there was no more.
“…”
Han Ah-young’s expression was not good. Han Harin’s face was the same.
At that time, their smartphones vibrated at the same time. It was a message from Sung Eugene.
Sung Eugene: I’m fine, don’t worry.
They both opened their eyes. Han Ha-rin immediately frowned at her and tapped her smart phone. Han Ah-yeong had her doubts whether this was really the message sent by Seong Yu-jin. Later, she also sent her message, but there was no reply from her Sung Eugene.
In the end, the field was handed over to the Japan Hunter Association and the monsters of Mount Fuji were moderately eradicated. Towards evening they received an update on the news.
The announcer reported the news with a serious expression and voice.
“Hase, the Onmyoji of the White Rim, has occupied Gahashima. He named Kahashima New Japan and declared independence.”
The appearance of unexpected news.
However, Han Ah-yeong and Han Harin could not be ignored. Because the person who disappeared with Seong Yu-jin was Hase, the Onmyoji of Chunyo.
They stared at the TV in the hotel room.
“Currently, robots in the form of samurai roam Gahashima, monitoring the residents of Gahashima. Experts say that all 30,000 residents of Gahashima are hostages. Oh, breaking news! Hase, the onmyoji of Thousand Yao, has just started broadcasting on the Internet! I will connect you!”
Hase’s face appeared on the screen.
Han Ah-yeong chewed her lips, and Han Ha-rin clenched her fists.
“Haseda of Baeklim. Our Baeklim is trying to revive Japan, which is falling because it can’t stop. The starting point will be this Gahashima. Gahashima is New Japan, where a machine emperor, a perfect artificial intelligence, will run everything. Complete equality and fairness by super artificial intelligence. Corruption will not exist in New Japan, and all Japanese will enjoy that right. Tell the Japanese Watch how Gahashima changes. And get ready to accept the immortal leader! The Machine Emperor will lead Japan to an era of glory!!”
The screen has changed.
A giant robot that appears only in movies or animations has appeared. Everyone knew. That is the machine emperor Hase is talking about.
Thump thump!
Someone urgently knocked on the hotel door.
“Han Ah-young! I’m from the Japan Hunter Association! It’s a national emergency! Currently, Japan desperately needs Han Ah-yeong’s help!”
