Chapter 2142 – 2142. Eternal Eden
“What a fucking bastard!!!”
Bang!
Enraged Jin Chung-hyeon’s fist hit the office desk. His motto was cold reason, his eyes red and bloodshot, and his lips parted and growled. The waxed hair was disheveled, and the luxurious suit was crumpled.
It was then. The office door burst open and his secretary gasped in.
“Director! The headquarters building is under attack! The security team says they used bomb drones! We need to get out of the headquarters building right now!”
Seeing the embarrassed secretary, Jin Chung-hyeon rather calmed down.
“Secretary Park, calm down. Did you forget how solid the headquarters building was when it was built? It just doesn’t break down like this. Besides, the building was reinforced not too long ago. Drone bomb? It’s not like a plane will come in and hit you, but it’s enough to withstand it.”
“Yeah, that’s right. There is no way the headquarters building will collapse just like this.”
“Are there any other raids?”
“Doesn’t exist. It’s kind of strange to say that it’s an act of the Armed Forces. If the armed forces had decided to punish us, it wouldn’t have been like this… Could it be the work of a traitor?”
“Sung Yujin. It’s his job.”
“You mean Seong Yujin, the representative of Seongak Elementary School? Why is that guy who should be in Seoul…”
“I don’t know the state of mind of such a madman. You don’t even have to know. The important thing is that the bastard is coming down from the roof of the building right now. He dares to kill me while talking bullshit!!”
“Hey, sir. Calm down. If Sung Eugene is coming down from the roof of the building… If we go down first and exit the building, that’s it. Will you follow me to the city? Busan is no different from the territory of Ilwoo Group.”
“Leave headquarters? Don’t be funny. Do you think he’ll abandon the headquarters because he’s afraid of that guy?”
“I was just saying this just in case. Almost half of the security team died in this bombing, but… The other half are unharmed. And we have him too.”
“Okay. Couldn’t the head office’s potential be able to handle just one person? Order the head of the bodyguard to kill Seong Eugene somehow.”
“All right. He said he was coming down from the roof. Now to the head of the bodyguard… Oh wait. If you come down from above, the president’s office is…”
“Chairman, did you forget you were in Japan?”
“I haven’t forgotten. Isn’t there a vice-president’s office just below the president’s office? What is he aiming for…”
Vice-chairman.
He was Jin Chung-hyeon’s father. Surprised, Jin Choong-hyeon contacted his father on his smartphone. There was one short beep and his father answered the phone.
“Father! Come downstairs right now! The madman is after you!”
Jin Choong-hyun, who was in a hurry, was crumpled by the voice that followed.
-Late. Your father is already divided. Can you take a picture and send it to me?
“This damn bastard is here!!”
-Gear nose sucks. You and I are enemies You tried to kill me, and this time I’m trying to kill you. Unfortunately, all of your other family members are elsewhere? It would have been nice if we all got together… Anyway. Next is your turn. I’m going to kill you, so wait.
Pop.
The phone is disconnected.
“Aaaaagh!”
Jin Choong-hyeon screamed and threw his smartphone away. The smartphone hit the wall and was smashed.
Jin Chung-hyeon gritted his teeth and ordered his secretary.
“Secretary Park! Tell the chief of the bodyguard! Sung Eugene! Kill that bastard! No, capture them alive if you can! The bastard killed his father… You touched our family crest! I can never forgive you!!”
“Ah, I see. I will pass the order to the chief of security right away.”
“And take that out too!”
“If you say so… ?”
“A robot developed for combat! Did you say BP? Deploy now!”
“BP is still experimenting…”
“Come in!”
“Yes yes. All right.”
“Ask for his cooperation as well.”
Jin Choong-hyeon’s voice became more cautious. He was a person even Jin Chung-hyeon could not treat carelessly.
“I will do as instructed. So come downstairs. Most of the fires in the building have been extinguished.”
“I will stay here.”
“Yes?”
“I’m scared of him, so I’m leaving my office and running away? It’s never going to happen. I’ll see him in my office.”
Jin Chung-hyeon’s eyes were burning. Jin Choong-hyeon’s stubbornness was also famous in Ilwoo Group. Ten years ago, there was a time when that stubbornness shone and made a mark in the Middle East. Thanks to that achievement, I am now a director.
There were only a handful of people who could defeat Jin Chung-hyeon’s stubbornness. There was no secretary among them. The secretary quietly bowed her head and left the office.
• • •
I killed Jin Seong Man, the vice chairman of Ilwoo Group. He killed Jin Chung-hyeon’s father, Jin Seong-man, as soon as he saw him without having a conversation with him. Just in time, Chin Choong-hyeon called Jin Seong-man and informed him of Jin Seong-man’s death. Hearing the angry Jin Choong-hyeon’s voice made me feel better.
‘Jin Choong-hyeon’s office is five floors down from here. I looked outside and the police were already gathering. Let’s move quickly.’
You can’t face them all alone. Because my stamina will drop and I will be defeated.
‘Considering the time to escape, Jin Chung-hyeon must be killed within 10 minutes.’
Go out of the vice president’s office and go downstairs. Elevators cannot be used. Because I used the self-destruct drone to blow up the elevator.
As I quickly descended the stairs, the bodyguards appeared. Guys wearing bulletproof vests and rifles and things like bike helmets.
‘It’s the latest armament. High technical level. Do these guys use equipment that the military has not commercialized? I’m sure there is a technologist in Ilwu’s group.’
If possible, I would like to kill the technologist of Ilwoo’s group, but there was no information. I don’t know who it is and I don’t even know where it is, so how can I kill it?
“Terrorist!!”
“Die!!”
The bodyguards fired their guns without mercy. I ran up the stairs and approached them, avoiding the bullets.
Awesome!
A lightly swung blade cuts through their throats. Ignored the tumbling corpse and continued downstairs.
Beep beep!
A red light flashed in the middle of the stairs.
‘Bomb?!’
I grasped it momentarily and turned and went upstairs.
Aaaaang!
The whole staircase was blown away. If it was just a little bit late, the explosion would have shattered his entire body.
I could feel the presence of people under the thick black smoke.
Brainstorm electromagnetic waves.
Down the broken stairs. Six armed men were waiting for me to come out with their guns pointed upwards. If I show even a little bit, I will pull the trigger.
‘Eat this.’
I took the C4 out of my backpack and threw it. Their reaction was delayed because C4 was small.
Aaaaang!
An intense explosion pulverized enemies. I jumped down the burning stairs. I reached the floor where Jin Chung-hyeon’s office was while killing the troops who stopped me.
Entering the hallway, there was a robot. It is a robot that looks similar to a pill bug with dozens of legs in a white metal body.
‘Because it has so many legs, even a robot looks disgusting.’
Eye-like lenses on the robot’s head glowed red.
“Ah, how are you, Go, customer. Yeo, this is, entry, forbidden, forbidden, place. Lord, please die!”
“Looks like the mechanical bastard has lost his taste. Or is it still incomplete?”
“Goodbye, goodbye! Sir!”
The robot moves dozens of legs and rushes at it. I thought it was coming from the front, but it climbed the wall and moved around like a bug. It was so fast that even my eyes couldn’t follow it.
‘If you can’t follow with your eyes… You just have to figure it out with a different sense.’
Brainstorm electromagnetic waves.
Electromagnetic waves spread and the position of the robot is confirmed. It would be convenient to use it as an EMP, but it consumes a lot of stamina, so I decided to save it.
‘Above your head.’
Suddenly, the robot hanging from the ceiling falls. Dozens of legs had all turned into sharp blades.
He hit the falling robot with a blade and smashed it to the ground. The upside-down robot bug struggles and tries to flip itself over.
“Oh, no. It hurts. It hurts!”
“I’m going to die of noise on the topic of robots. Sick? Come on, make it easy.”
A blade was inserted between the joints of the robot’s torso.
‘Thunderbolt.’
Electric current flowed through the deeply recessed hairtail sword, destroying the robot’s circuitry.
Pop!
With the sound of something exploding, red liquid flows from the robot’s body.
“Go, go, customer. The checkout is on the first floor!!”
The robot sagged like a dead bug.
I frowned as much as possible. I felt some kind of awkwardness. Moved the knife I dismantled the robot by slashing the joints to avoid the deck.
Inside the robot was a brain with complex machinery.
It looked like a human brain, but… Its size was small.
‘Is it the brain of another animal? Like monkeys for example? Could it be that animal brains were used instead of AI?’
I wondered if there was such nonsense, but I remembered the characteristics of this world and nodded my head. It was a good enough skill.
I left the robot behind and went forward. This time a man appeared. Dressed in black leather, he looked at me indifferently.
“No matter how much I was, I couldn’t have done something like this… That’s great.”
Despite not having any special equipment, he has a confident yet relaxed attitude. Feeling strange, I threw the last C4 I had in my backpack at him. C4 stopped in mid-air. As if caught by something invisible.
‘Telekinesis?’
“You are carrying something dangerous. I will take care of this.”
Kwajik.
It completely disintegrates at C4 and falls to the floor. C4 was dismantled in an instant without touching the detonator.
“To think that telekinesis could be used that way… Impossible for an ordinary Awoken person. Are you a player?”
4 classes of players. Lord, Psychic, Technologist, Bionics. The man was certain to be one of them, an esper.
Esper may have lower potential compared to other classes, but it is a class that uses more power than any other class in the beginning.
I thought we’d meet someday, but we never thought we’d meet here.
He tensed his body and took a stance with his sword.
