Chapter 57 – 057. Code: XTK
057. Code: XTK
Raffles disbanded.
After Son Jung-hoo cleaned up the conference room, he looked at Ula, who was still there. Pulling over her hood, she leans against the wall and quietly watches Son Jeong-hoo.
“Okay. Cry There are no buggers or cameras here. I did some research on Taker, but he was just an ordinary factory worker. As much as she has been hiding her psychic powers so far, she has some endurance. There are quite a few suspicious things, but I don’t think you’re so wary.”
“…… That ability is dangerous.”
Said Ula. She had a nice voice. Of course, it is not her own voice. Ula is a cyborg who is all mechanical except her brain. Her voice is also just a vocal chord downloaded from somewhere.
“Know. It’s especially dangerous for us, whose whole body is a machine. But her hacking abilities are also limited.”
You can say it’s over the moment you get hacked.
But Taker’s hacking abilities aren’t perfect either. It had its own limitations. The range of hacking is within 50M, and once used, it takes 3 hours to use the ability again. In addition, the more complicated or the latest high-end machine hacked, the shorter the hacking maintenance time.
“…… Do you believe that?”
“Of course I don’t believe it. Taker has lived his life hiding his psychic powers until now. You know how to hide your abilities. It is probably true that there are limitations on one’s abilities. I must have just told a little lie.”
“…… Killing now is neat and good.”
Ulla’s voice was emotionless. It’s not because her body is a machine. She was also unemotional ten years ago, when she was a normal horse. Ula never once expressed her feelings to anyone else.
“No. Taker’s ability is invaluable. If used properly… There is no other power in this world as dangerous and terrifying as that one.”
“…… He has a half-bones temperament. You won’t be able to use it for long.”
“A little bit like that. I think I can use it properly, but…. Still need insurance? I want you to keep an eye on the taker. If it betrays us, or if we judge it to be poisonous to our purposes… You can kill me.”
“…… Okay. Leader.”
Ula nodded slowly and left her cafe. Jeonghu Son, who was quietly watching her back, gave her a meaningless smile.
•••
The boss of the Woodgot family. Assassination of the priest.
The plan was simple.
Me, Geun-tae Yoo, and Hyeon-ji directly break into the Wood God Family building and kill the wooden beast. Ula is her rear support. She’s a sniper, so if it’s infiltration, she doesn’t know, but intrusion doesn’t fit.
“Somehow, dragging the human being out of the building or luring it toward the window is one of the methods. Ula’s sniping skills are amazing! It sounds so good that it shoots at even the slightest angle.”
Geun-tae Yoo said. He was laid-back enough to paint a smile on his lips even in the face of an assassination mission. I can feel the force of a careerist, which is often said.
“Why do we have to break in? That building is almost like a fortress.”
Hyunji frowned when he saw the building of the Woodgot Family. The building is not tall. Instead, it grew sideways. The building size is high school level.
And the illegal modification was done proudly. Looking at the turrets, heavy machine guns, and traps hidden throughout the building, it was no different from a fortress.
“It’s local. The client is in a hurry. I have to kill you today.”
“Isn’t the information leaked? I heard he didn’t come out of the building for three days?”
“No. No leaks of information. Mok Shin-soo is a smart guy, so he’s judging the situation coldly.”
Geun-tae Yoo was examining every nook and cranny of the building through a telescope.
“… Do you judge the situation?”
“The wooden beast has recently failed to expand its territory. And he’s firmly stamped on by other mafia bosses in Seoul. And tomorrow at noon, I have an appointment for a meeting with the Incheon gangster boss… If I say this much, the locals will understand, right?”
“Was the client another mafia boss?”
“Considering the hefty request fee, maybe? It’s almost certain if you look at the situation at the wooden shrine.”
“Well, that’s fine. More than that, uncle. Decide quickly Let’s finish this quickly.”
“I am still judging. Why are you rushing so much today? Do you have a date date with your boyfriend?”
“You have to watch the drama. I’m still annoyed that I can’t watch the live broadcast….”
“Ugh. Then it is.”
Geun-tae Yoo shook his head and looked at me, who was fiddling with his smartphone.
“Newcomer! How many minutes can you control that building with your hacking skills?”
“When I checked during the day today, it was 24 seconds.”
I put my smartphone into my pocket and pulled out a handgun from my jacket pocket. This is the Black Kite F I bought yesterday.
“Is that the time including the building’s defense system?”
“Right. Auto turrets and surveillance cameras can be placed under my control. It might break It could explode.”
“… Whiyu. It’s amazing. Did you find out where the wooden beast is?”
“A room at the end of the east corridor on the 4th floor. That’s the boss room. When I hacked it during the day, I saw it through the surveillance camera, and I was having a blast with a woman there.”
“Hmm. Okay.”
Yoo Geun-tae was deep in thought before opening his mouth.
“Newcomer. With your ability, you can make the defense system burst or explode, right?”
“It is possible to runaway and self-destruct. But that alone can’t kill the wooden beast. Even if it self-destructs, it’s hard to expect explosive power, and the subordinates stand guard where there is a spirit tree.”
Of course, the subordinates of the Goddess are cyborgs. However, no country can hack the building’s defense system and cyborgs at once.
“… If the defense system goes into overdrive, they’ll panic. And we use that gap to run straight to the wood god and assassinate him. The front and back gates are lined with defense systems, and the east side is too heavily guarded. Let’s go to the west entrance.”
A detailed plan came out of Yoo Geun-tae’s mouth. What struck him was the locals.
“Good. Run in and kill It’s the way we always do, why did you procrastinate so much?”
“Ugh. It’s local Even when we ran amok, we always ran rampant after we were ready. I never ran amok at random.”
“Ah. Yes. Yes. Let’s start sooner rather than later.”
Geun-tae Yoo shook his head and looked at me.
“Newcomer. All you have to do is flood the defense system with hacking. You don’t have to come in with us.”
“No. I will rush in too.”
“Yes? Your role is already enough. It was more than enough for one person just by turning on the defense system. And there must be chaos in there, and we can’t afford to protect you.”
“You don’t have to protect it. I’m going to test the weapon I bought this time.”
I proudly raised my weapon in both hands. In the left hand is a pistol, in the right hand is the ultra-vibration knife I bought today.
“Your physical abilities are normal. Are you going to fight with something like that?”
Yoo Geun-tae said as if it was absurd.
“Well, how are you? I want to do it. You will do well If you’re going to die, you’re just going to die.”
The local exhaled. It’s not that he hates me. She was originally like that.
“Don’t worry, I will take care of my body.”
I said.
What I believed in was the shooting characteristics and Youngcheon-ryu. Yeongcheon-ryu is a martial art that can fully demonstrate its ability with a dagger.
•••
[Hacking succeeded.]
[You can hack Wood God Family’s defense system for 24 seconds.]
The building’s defense system goes into overdrive.
Hidden turrets and traps are activated regardless of foe. Sleeping gas spewed from some walls, and an explosion occurred.
“Fuck! Why is the turret suddenly shooting at us?”
“Mattang is gone! What are you system administrators doing?!”
The Woodgot family was quickly thrown into chaos. The members of the organization who were standing on the alert are distracted. The peace of the Wood God family disappeared in an instant due to the sudden runaway defense system.
“Great. Is this more than expected?”
Yoo Geun-tae giggled. He burned alive the three gatekeepers guarding the western entrance. The oxygen cylinder behind his back was actually a gas cylinder, and both hands are ignition points.
‘I didn’t know that Yoo Tae-geun was a guy who didn’t come out properly in the original story… It must have been a fire bat.’
The spark was so great that it melted steel in 10 seconds.
“Are you sure it’s in the far eastern room on the 4th floor of the tree? Go right away.”
Hyunji ran down the hallway as soon as he entered the building. Both of her hands have been transformed into super-vibrating blades. Both legs were also machines, and like a grasshopper, it runs in all directions and slices through enemies.
“Quaaaaagh!”
“You grasshopper bitch! Die!”
“It’s an intruder! Intruder! Send support quickly! They’re not normal cubs!”
I opened my mouth slightly when I saw local movements.
She was stronger than I thought.
Move freely through the corridors. The metaphor of the locust was not a lie. Running on the wall is basic, and even hangs upside down from the ceiling. Don’t stop moving He dodges all flying bullets, sometimes even knocking them out with a knife.
At that level, even the Jinjos in ‘Vampire Detective’ have a hard time. And so am I.
‘Fuck. When I saw it as a webtoon, I looked fucking weak…. Were you that strong? I think it will be difficult for me to deal with from the front?’
Local does not stop. Once he sees an enemy, he approaches it in a question and answer dance and slices it.
“Whiyu. Are you warming up properly today? Is it that drama or something, it looks really interesting.”
“Are you such a locust bitch?”
“The locals are a bit fierce.”
Geun-tae Yoo and I followed after Hyun-ji. The local speed is difficult to follow in normal conditions without acceleration.
“Die!”
A guy jumps out of the window and swings a knife at me.
My body reacted almost subconsciously.
Pyewol (蔽月), the real history of Yeongcheon-ryu.
His upper body bends to the side to avoid the sword and cuts his throat with the daggerheheld in reverse.
“Oh clothes? What is that! How cool! There was reason to be confident!”
Next to him, Geun-tae Yoo made a fuss. I understand.
It moved naturally like water flowing and killed the enemy. It is a movement that can only be seen in martial arts movies. To be honest, I thought it was cool.
‘This… Using a dagger makes it easier to counterattack? The eclipse, which is difficult to succeed in actual combat, has subconsciously succeeded.’
I thought it would be a bit disadvantageous because the sword is short, but it feels like the movement of Yeongcheon-ryu is more free.
“What are you procrastinating on?! Aren’t you coming soon?!”
Hyunji, who had run ahead, shouted at us. In the meantime, he is swinging his arm to separate the upper and lower body of the enemy.
“Oops. With character. Let’s go.”
Yoo Geun-tae clicked her tongue. We followed up on the local trail.
The enemies were swept away like autumn leaves because they couldn’t hit one local. I saw the scene and asked Geun-Tae Yoo.
“He eats it all by himself. Do you have any reason to do this request together?”
“No matter how easy a request is, it’s our rule at Raffles that at least two people do it together. And Hyunji is so good at close combat that he is one of the best in our Raffles. The problem is that the rest of it is a bit worrying. If left alone, they would run amok and get caught in a trap and die?”
“Well.”
I was speechless.
Yoo Geun-tae’s judgment was correct. In the original webtoon, Hyun-ji runs amok alone and gets caught in a trap and dies.
“Keep your head down.”
At Yoo Geun-tae’s words, I immediately lowered my head. Yu Geun-tae’s flame spreads over my head.
“Aaaaagh!”
An enemy approaching from behind caught fire and rolled around before stopping. The flame burned the enemy black and then disappeared.
‘This Firebat isn’t normal either.’
The equipment is not washable. I could tell by looking at Yoo Geun-tae’s movements. He was used to fighting.
We followed the locals, taking care of any enemies she missed or ambush her. Yoo Geun-tae’s plasma-mixed flames were difficult to block without special equipment, and my shooting skills and dagger skills shined in the midst of the struggle.
And we were able to join the locals at the end of the corridor on the 4th floor.
“It’s local. What are you doing? Did you kill the wooden beast?”
“…….”
Geun-tae Yoo and I approached Hyun-ji.
Hyunji kept his mouth shut and was staring fiercely at the boss room where the wooden spirit beast was located. The door was open. I shook my head slightly and looked around the room.
It was a room full of flesh and blood. Red blood, flesh, internal organs, and mechanical parts are strewn across the floor, walls, and ceiling.
If someone with a weak stomach saw it, it would be a sight that would make them vomit up all the food in their stomachs.
And in the center of the room, a man crouches down on his body.
A fat man who seemed to weigh 200kg was trembling as he curled up into a ball with both arms holding his head. Blood vessels protruded from his body, and the machines installed on his body were more than half broken.
“… Eh, maybe Bioforce?”
Bio Force.
It refers to the side effect state of forced physical evolution.
“This piglet… I used Toxide.”
The locals spit it out.
