Chapter 60 – 060. Code: XTK
060. Code: XTK
“I think everyone knows, but… I also have a lot of time, so I’ll say it again to warn you.”
Jeonghu Son looked around us and said.
“It starts with Taker disabling the main system. Since City Hall is managed by the main system, the lights will be off except for the emergency lights. You guys can move then.”
I listened to Son Jeong-hu’s words and reflected on what I had to do.
My goal is to be an illusionist. To be precise, they are special agents with illusionists. I’m going to kill them and take the illusioner. To do so, he spent 3 billion won to purchase the ‘Ecclus Plasma Blade’.
No matter how good the special agents’ equipment or equipment is, they will not be able to stop the Ecclus Plasma Blade.
I think it’s possible enough if it’s my Yeongcheon-ryu.
“You can go to the armory in the middle, or you can kill the guards and steal their weapons. If you want to steal something, steal it. If you want to kill someone, kill them. While you guys are making a fuss for an hour… I’ll steal the blueprints. And after an hour, it’s a retreat. Do you know how to retreat?”
I don’t think retreat.
This is because the moment I get my hands on the illusionist, my goal is accomplished. Get 3 illusionists and go back to reality.
‘Because machines can break down. It would be better to prepare several in reserve.’
If you get an illusionist, first of all, the bath…….
“If you get caught, I recommend just killing yourself. Because I’m sure you’ll be tortured. Maybe just get your brain removed and suffer forever?”
Son Jeong-hoo said something terrifying. The faces of the members hardened. Considering the technological prowess of this world, it was simply because it could not be taken as a joke. Even with Son Jeong-hoo, the entire body except for the brain is a machine.
“I believe you guys will do well. You all are great Let’s order pizza at the cafe later.”
“…….”
Members were silent. I don’t know what each of them is thinking, but it is certain that they are nervous.
I also kept silent and then spoke to Son Jung-hoo.
“Leader. I’m hungry. Can I come and eat?”
“It’s okay. There is still more than an hour left until the party starts. Oh, they said they were hungry even if they cried earlier. Take me with you.”
I looked at Ula. She was wearing a light blue dress. She told Ulla to wear a one-piece dress herself because a suit did not suit her petite body.
Golden hair and a white face. From the outside, it looks like a normal person, but it suits him quite well.
“…… I’m hungry.”
Said Ula. I smiled bitterly.
“Okay. Come with me.”
Ula is a cyborg whose body is 100% machine except for the brain like the leader. There is no need to eat rice at all. Well, no one in Raffles knew this except for the leader and Ulla herself. Of course, I know it through the original work.
‘…… He intends to use Ula to spy on me.’
Within the expected range It would be fatal for me to betray them here.
‘I don’t know what. If I was going to betray you, I would have had plenty of chances.’
I headed to the restaurant on the 120th floor with Ulla.
I’m going to feel how delicious the top-notch steak sold here is.
Entering the restaurant, I saw one person and hesitated.
“Acquaintance?”
Ulla follows my gaze and sees him sitting by the window. He is eating chicken salad while staring out the window.
“… It’s not that I’m friendly. He’s quite famous in the back world.”
“Famous?”
“It’s a fixer. He is also a special agent.”
Ulla and I sat at a suitable table and ordered a steak course.
Ula glances at the man. He seems interested in the word special agent.
‘The main character, Yuhan-soo. I’ll kill Ulla myself later.’
Ula may have sensed something from the man who would kill her in the future.
We ate quietly.
Ula was originally a talkative person, and I couldn’t find a reason for her to be friendly with her. Anyway, I won’t see you after today.
The steak melted gently in your mouth.

“Are you the CEO of Grapple? This is the first company name I’ve heard of… Are you a foreign company?”
Haha. Yes. It is a British company. I recently came to Seoul. The building to be used as a company has not yet been contracted properly, so you will be unfamiliar with it.”
At a party, I had to deal with several people. Even if I don’t bother approaching them, it’s because they come to me on their own and talk to me.
Their sociability was great.
‘I guess it’s because I’m a young normal, so I’m easy to approach.’
60% of the people in the party were normal. The rest are cyborgs with parts of their bodies changed.
“Whoa. Dealing with people is really hard. What, you didn’t make any mistakes?”
I asked Son Jeong-hoo, who was standing next to me.
“No problem. President. Did you respond well?”
He was playing the chief of staff. He got along pretty well.
“It was just a chit-chat. Shouldn’t we go up soon?”
“No. It’s still early in the party, so it’s better to enjoy the party more. It will be easier to move later when people start to fall out.”
“…… I guess so.”
After that, people came to me. It is to establish a basic relationship. The upper class values personal connections as much as money.
‘Ah. I’m tired.’
I touched the back of my neck with my left hand. I don’t know if it’s just dealing with people. I had to deal with them by lying. There were many times when I asked sharp questions, but it was clear that they would have raised suspicion if Son Jeong-hoo had not properly helped.
There was gift time in the middle of the party.
Under the name of a gift, it is openly offering a bribe to Won-soo Won, the mayor of Seoul.
‘Fuck it.’
I thought that if you were a person of the upper class, there would be a minimum of nobility. However, the sight he saw in person was far from noble.
‘Can you have a fart like that? Fuck your ass… , He sucks it to the point of tearing my butthole.’
There were many flatterers who were disgusting rather than envious. When he delicately twisted the words that he would sacrifice his daughter, he laughed at the absurdity.
‘They even sell their children to power.’
I shook my head and put the wine glass to my mouth.
Of course, I also gave a present to Won Won-soo. It seems that he presented securities of a company in the United States. It was a gift prepared by Son Jung-hoo, so I don’t know exactly what kind of company it is.
“Uh.”
As I was sipping wine in a corner, a woman caught my eye.
“Wow. It’s fucking pretty.”
She was a blonde woman. She was wearing a navy blue evening dress and her figure was very good. She doesn’t even have a visible machine. She looks normal like me. Her breasts are big too, and her ass is also slaying.
“Well? Do you like a woman like that?”
“No. You are pretty.”
“Okay?”
It seems that Son Jeong-hu does not understand the beauty of the female body. It must be because he is a eunuch without a penis.
“Look at that bouncing chest. Her face is awesome too. I have never seen such a pretty woman in this world.”
“This world?”
“… Uh. The words came out wrong. I have never seen such a pretty woman in my entire life.”
Son Jeong-hoo doesn’t seem to think much of it.
HahaCould he imagine that I am from another world? Even if he imagines it, he is sure to be unbelievable. If I tell you the truth, they’ll treat me like a psychopath.
“Shit. Why did you meet such a woman just now? She wished we met yesterday….”
I let out a deep sigh of regret. Then Jeonghu Son, who was next to her, spoke to me.
“If you really want that woman, you can kidnap her after a while. Stun it, take it away, and do whatever you want.”
“No. You didn’t come all the way here to kidnap them.”
“Is it? So what is the taker going to steal? Anything worth the money?”
“Yeah….”
I kept my mouth shut. Because someone was approaching us.
It is a finite number. I tensed up a bit. Could it be that Yuhan-soo noticed our true identity? It is not strange if it is Yuhan-soo, the main character of the original webtoon. Because Yuhan-soo has a good eye.
“Hello.”
He greeted me and stretched out his hand. I took his hand and shook it.
“… Oh Yes. Nice to see you. I am Yoo Jae-won, the president of Grapple.”
“Oh oh. You have the same last name as me. I call it Yuhansu.”
“It’s a coincidence. But what about?”
“It’s nothing… I heard that you will come to Korea later. If something bothers you at that time, please call me. This is my business card.”
“Resolver Yuhan-soo?”
“Yes. Yes. I don’t know anything else, but the work is clear.”
I relaxed a bit. It was just a publicity car.
Yuhan-soo then proceeds to tell them what an excellent solver he is, then goes to the others and hands them their business cards, promoting them.
“Limited number. I am a former government special agent. Judging from the fact that you attended this party, it seems that you have some connection with the mayor.”
Son Jeong-hoo said firmly in the chief secretary mode.
“Are you dangerous?”
“I do not know. I’m not sure yet. Still, it is true that he is a person of interest.”
Okay. Be careful. Because you guys are fighting bloodily against Yuhan-soo in the future.
I couldn’t say that.
•••
1:30 in the morning. We moved when the party was almost over.
I took the elevator and went straight to the 175th floor.
The 175th floor was a casino. Today was closed due to the mayor’s birthday party.
But there were people. A soldier in a helmet and outer armored suit guarded the entrance to the casino. He is holding a large assault rifle in his hand.
“What are you doing?”
He asked as he approached us. Son Jeong-hoo spoke one step ahead of me.
“My boss said he wanted to enjoy a casino in Seoul… Aren’t you open today?”
“Today is closed due to the mayor’s birthday party. We open at 9:00 p.M. Today, so we would be grateful if you could come by then.”
“Ah. You see. By the way….”
Son Jeong-hoo started to drag the time by inducing a conversation.
I tried hacking Even if you don’t have to check with your own eyes, if you know where the main system computer is, you can recognize it as a skill.
[Hacking succeeded.]
[You can hack the main system of Seoul City Hall for 7 seconds.]
7 seconds.
Hacking takes longer than expected. I thought 3 seconds at most.
‘Once the main system is incapacitated, the main system core is deliberately broken.’
I could feel it even though I couldn’t see it. As planned, the main system was disabled. Since the core of the main system is also broken, Seoul City Hall will be paralyzed unless it is replaced with a spare system core.
Crackle.
The fluorescent lights in the hallway went out all at once.
“Eh, what is this… Gagging?!”
Son Jeong-hoo quickly reached out and grabbed his neck. A tremendous grip snaps his neck in an instant. Son Jung-hoo threw the corpse at random and smiled at me.
“Well done. Taker. The party hall must be in chaos by now. I’m going to steal the blueprints right away. You?”
“I’m going to steal anything worth money. And when I can afford it, I steal the blonde woman I saw earlier.”
“Did you decide to kidnap her after all?”
“Because he is a man. Of course.”
“Okay. See you later then. This is a casino, so the cash must be somewhere.”
Saying that, Son Jung-hu went down through the emergency stairs. This is because the elevators stopped as the main system went sour.
I waited for him to go all the way down.
‘It’s been three minutes. Jeonghu Son must have arrived on the 150th floor. Should I move slowly too?’
I took the knife out of my inventory.
Ecclus Plasma Blade.
It is an object that uses super-energy, Eclus, to cover the blade with plasma. This knife cuts through steel without incident. Since it’s rechargeable, you can use it sparingly by leaving it off except when fighting.
I used the emergency stairs to move up instead of down. When I hacked the main system earlier, I checked the location of the special agents in City Hall for a brief moment.
A total of 5 special agents. One of them was in front of the main system room on the 190th floor.
“What are you?!”
I ran into the special police on the stairs.
‘Byeokgye(碧溪).’
He shot me The rifle’s power was almost that of a machine gun, but it couldn’t hit me at all. Byeokgye is properly eaten, and the sense of distance is not recognized.
‘I’ve tried it before. Even if the eyeball is a machine, unless it has high performance, the wall system will pass through.’
After all, it is the human brain, not the computer, that processes visual information.
I cut his throat with a knife as I passed him by. A fountain of blood splashed out. Headed upward without delay.
