Episode 56. Star counting night (8)
Seol Chae-hwa’s surprised voice came.
“Is there a different type of card key? I thought it would all work as one.”
“This AS key was one of the pieces of information they kept hidden.”
Here is not the end. If it was Meteor, it would have ended here, but I have my own additional interactions.
‘I have to dig up the information I couldn’t dig up from the researcher I met outside.’
I used 『Memory Reading』 toward the fallen researcher.
Having an AS key means that at least you are not at the end of the laboratory. There was a high probability that he knew something more.
[In what format do you want to search for the memories you want to browse?]
[Search method is time, word, event, person. There are four types in total.]
‘The afterlife. satellite project. If I use these two words in conjunction, I’ll be able to figure out something.’
but.
The result was beyond my expectations.
Researcher Lee only knows the external goal of the artificial satellite project. Through that research, I didn’t know about the creation of the afterlife that Septagram really wanted to achieve.

Just in case, I thought of other related search words and searched for them, but there was not even a clue that could be a clue.
Seeing this as a waste of mental energy, I stopped searching and thought for a moment.
‘As for the afterlife, I’ll have to find someone with a higher rank and search through his memories.’
Who would be such a guy? When I thought about it, there was one person that immediately came to mind.
Puppeteer MacLaine. Although he is not an executive like Glenn, he possesses enough power to be called an executive.
Septagrams are more likely to be known to more advanced personnel because they provide more important information.
‘good. Then let’s give up on finding out about the afterlife and find out about the whereabouts of the children.’
This time, I decided to use three words.
satellite project. test subject. Maclain.
Browsing through the search results, I was able to find a memory I was looking for without difficulty.
“The artificial satellite project has been successfully completed. In order to succeed to the next project, all research and experiments in progress will be suspended and discarded… … Was it?」
“yes. Maclean-sama.”
The memory of a female researcher sitting on a soft sofa with her stomach on her stomach and facing MacLaine drinking soju unfolds before my eyes.
“hmm. Too bad. Aside from the wastes that have not even bloomed into adulthood, how do I want to recycle the test subjects that have acquired the power of nature anyway? How can it not be?」
「The first successful work that got our hands on nature in the direction we intended. No.45 was taken away by Glene-sama, saying that she had a place to use it.”
“Was it the power of the flame? It’s charming, but I need a doll to play with. It’s okay even if it’s not a particularly strong test subject.”
“I will contact the superiors in a moment and come back.”
I fast-forwarded the video playback at that point. This is because the process of contacting the superior was unnecessarily long. Besides, I know all the contact methods, so I don’t have to refer to them.
“Mrs. MacLean. I came to inform you about the results of the inquiry about the reuse of the specimen to be discarded that you requested last time.”
“come in. Skip all the details and report only the key points.”
“It doesn’t matter how you use it as long as you don’t take it outside.”
“huh? I heard that Mr. Glene was taken out, but why can’t I be the only one?”
「One of the people the Septagram side keeps an eye on. It turns out that an influencer with the code name has the power to decipher the supernova virus, which is the shackle of Septagram.”
“In other words, you don’t want to be caught after taking them outside? Awesome. I can’t help it. Instead, bring me the test subjects from other labs. As long as it was allowed, it was all without distinction. I’ll only play with it inside here.”
Chijik! Chijik!
While I was watching the video. Suddenly, the quality of the video faded and became clear again and again. It was like watching a TV that intermittently generated noise because radio wave reception was not working properly.
“uncle! uncle!”
In addition, Nayeon Eom’s voice echoed from the outside consciousness. I ended the memory reading with regret behind me.
“Ouch. Geugguk!”
When I came to my senses, the researcher was having a seizure.
“As expected, if you try to search your memory, the Super Nova virus will undoubtedly be activated.”
I sighed when I saw the researcher thumping and convulsing. It’s a pity that I couldn’t look into the inside story here.
[Activates ‘Emotion Implant’.]
As with the researcher he met outside, he gave the same rest to the researcher who had fallen in front of him. The researcher, who was administered a sedative called Emotion Implant, died soon after with a relaxed expression.
“These people should have known beforehand that the virus was being administered, so why did they accept it? I wouldn’t have known the danger.”
“I have no intention of defending it, but what can I do? As the world becomes more heinous, the number of people like that increases proportionately. Even though the method is wrong, everyone must want to survive somehow in this world.”
While Eom Na-yeon and Seol Chae-hwa left comments one by one, I clicked my tongue as I looked at the AS key I had obtained.
‘Somehow I got lucky.’
In the end, the country was also a variable created by existence.
Since it was confirmed that Maclean had taken all the children, there was a high probability that the AS key would have become obsolete.

Jiing.
“huh? What room are you doing here?”
I knew it.
As expected, when I opened the AS room and entered, I couldn’t see the children who were supposed to be there. To be more sure, I checked the next AS room and the next AS room, but the result was the same.
Then there was no reason to procrastinate any longer.
***
Roaring!
The energy of the flame burning fiercely in front of my eyes. Pyo Yu-rim was genuinely amazed at the child’s natural output.
‘You were able to bloom into an adult at such a young age. I did not know. If it’s already that powerful, by the time I’m my age, I’ll be able to create fireworks the size of this dormitory building.’
but.
shaaa… … .
“oh! my spark!”
Pyoyu-rim extinguished the flames flying towards him with a single gesture.
The power was strong, but the perfection was low. That was the impression Pyo Yu-rim felt.
‘Because of the light from the fireworks just now, the dorm students can look out because they want something. It’s dangerous to keep doing this here.’
The moment the conclusion was reached, the drifting forest appeared behind the child in an instant through a teleport.
“Hey!”
The child who reacted to it like a ghost turned around and tried to blow the sparks, but Pyoyu-rim was one step faster.
“How did you know I was behind you? Gicheok would have killed it for sure.”
Grasp the child’s arm and lift it as it is. The child, who was dangling in the air, struggled to remove his arm, but Pyoyu-rim’s arm did not budge.
“Let go! let go! let go of this! Boo, sparks… ! what? No fire… … . uh, why?”
“I understand. You sensed the heat in my body as I manipulated the power of fire.”
fleeting moment.
The stray forest is a magic that does not leak out. A magic that prevents damage or fire from occurring inside Kim Do-yoon’s room. A spell that prevents a child from starting a fire. A total of three were performed.
But there was something that her nature couldn’t do.
“fire… . If there is no fire, there is no… … . cold. It’s cold… . dad… … .”
I couldn’t soothe the panicked child.
『Magician』 is an almighty power that can cope with all situations, but magic power is exponentially consumed in areas that require very delicate fields.
Needless to say, the area of the mind, which is the most sensitive part, boasted the worst efficiency.
‘What should I do?’
Where is that? If a magician tries to interfere with the mind recklessly with the power of a magician, the opponent’s magical power can cause a rejection reaction to one’s own magical power, and even the halo phenomenon can explode.
“Huh. omg! dad… . Dad… … ! I don’t want to break up… . Huh Eok. I don’t want to go back to that cold place… … Whoops. gurup. Wow.”
“Baby. calm down! I’m not here to hurt you.”
His hands and feet trembled, he gasped for breath, and soon began to vomit. Pyo Yu-rim, who fell into panic at the same time, looked at the child, not knowing what to do.
“If my father is strong here… . I heard that a pretty older sister will come to help in times of danger… … .”
At that moment, Pyo Yu-rim realized that a familiar energy was coming from the child’s clenched fists. It was undoubtedly the energy of the ring he had given to Kim Do-yoon.
Could it be that the father the child was calling meant Kim Do-yoon? Could there be a hidden daughter? Pyo Yu-rim said to the child, holding on to his mind that was about to fall into confusion again.
“it’s me. I am that sister.”
“Huh. omg! uh… … ?”
“Do you have a ring on your hand? That’s what I gave to that man called Dad.”
Then, the child’s breath, which had been getting more and more rapid, stopped. The eyes of a child who had wandered like a lost lamb finally began to capture the image of the wild forest.
“Is your sister that sister?”
“okay.”
As if to take a closer look, the child stretched out both hands and touched Pyo Yu-rim’s face.
“Dad told me not to trust the words of people I’m seeing for the first time.”
He still looked suspicious, but it was okay. Just because the child’s seizures stopped, Pyo Yu-rim was able to regain his pace.
“Look Carefully. I’ll show you that the ring is your sister’s. Can you feel the energy in the ring?”
“Yes.”
“And how does it compare to this energy?”
Pyo Yu-rim spread his palms and raised his magic orb, which resonated with the energy of the ring, into the air.
“Wow. It’s white fire… . fresh… … .”
“how is it. Will you believe me now?”
The child seemed to think about it for a while longer, then opened his mouth.
“sister. Can you make another fire?”
“of course. Look at this.”
The driftwood forest is red, orange, yellow, and blue. Each of the so-called rainbow-colored flames was launched into the air.
The child’s eyes, which had been swollen, became bright.
“Kyaaa! Bring on the flames!”
mate!
He seemed to like it quite a bit, moving his arms and clapping his hands as hard as he could. When are you crying and screaming? Looking at the child smiling brightly in an instant, Pyo Yu-rim wondered what the hell this situation was.
‘that’s right. I was going to ask this child what kind of relationship he has with Mr. Kim Do-yoon.’
It’s been a while since I’ve forgotten my duty in such a hectic situation. After a while, recalling her purpose again, she looked at the child and said,
“Baby. Then, will you trust her now?”
“me… . But the light suddenly doesn’t come out… . I want to show you my cute fire too… … . fire, sparks… . It’s cold without a fire… … .”
When the child’s condition started to deteriorate again, Pyo Yu-rim hurriedly stepped forward.
“are you okay. It will come out now.”
Hwareuk!
“Eh? is it real Then why didn’t you come out earlier? Why did you do that?”
A child who tilts his head from side to side as if he doesn’t know why. Then, at some point, I couldn’t overcome the weight of my head and tried to fall to the side.
“You have to be careful.”
Pyo Yu-rim supported the scruff of the child’s neck with his hand.
The child stared blankly at the stray forest, blinking his long-awaited eyes.
“sister.”
“huh?”
“Did you let your sister come out again?”
Although he was the culprit who kept him from coming out, Pyo Yoo-rim decided not to speak up.
“huh. My sister helped me.”
“Thank you! My sister is a good person!”
What kind of relationship does this child have with Kim Do-yoon? Pyo Yu-rim held back the desire to ask right away. First of all, I planned to get close to this child first, narrow the distance, and then listen to the situation.
‘Good. I’m going to rehearse making friends here.’
Such an innocent child is not swayed by his appearance or prestige. You only see and judge yourself as you are. It couldn’t have been more suitable as a practice opponent.
‘I used my innate ability, but this is practice.’
Pyo Yu-rim looked at the compromise inside and continued talking again.
“Can I show you another fire?”
“Yep! show me!”
She knew very well that she was not very good around words.
He tends to talk well with Kim Do-yoon, but that is only possible because the other person is him. Other people didn’t feel the courage or will to talk to them because of the subconscious thought, ‘I’ll forget who they are by tomorrow anyway’.
‘If I’m not good at speaking, I’m going to make a good impression by moving my hands and feet.’
Hwareuk! Roaring! Fire!
Pyoyu-rim created various kinds of fireworks and filled the room.
A pink little knight riding a yellow horse. A red butterfly flying with a blue aura. A brown dog and a purple cat on the green grass and so on.
“Wow.”
The child watched the scene with his mouth wide open.
In the meantime, Pyo Yu-rim cleaned up everything the child had vomited with the power of nature. And I looked at the child’s face quietly.
Because of the seizure a moment ago, tears and runny noses, and even saliva were flowing from between his gaping mouths.
Pyo Yu-rim stretched out his hand, wanting to wipe it with the power of nature, but suddenly realized something and took it back.
“My sister will clean it for you.”
“huh?”
He took out a handkerchief and put it in his pocket. Pyo Yu-rim wiped the child’s face with the handkerchief.
What if you reject it for a moment? The hand stopped for a moment in front of the child’s face in such fear. However, soon after realizing that the child did not look like that, he began to clean his face thoroughly.
tight.
Then, when the child grabbed her collar, Yu-rim Pyo took off the handkerchief in surprise.
“Why?”
“I wish you were my mother. lol.”
The child is completely open. Pyo Yu-rim realized that it was right now and brought out the main subject.
“Baby. But with Doyoon Kim… . How did you and your father meet?”
Even though she calls her father, she doesn’t think the child is really Kim Do-yoon’s own child. Although he spoke Korean fluently, the appearance of the child was a foreigner. Even though I was blonde.
“dad? Dad saved me from bad people. Dad says he will be a better dad. They gave me something more, and they said I don’t have to be in a cold place. Aren’t you very nice?”
“I see. he’s a good dad Then, would it be better if I became a mom?”
“huh!”
“Should we meet Dad later and ask him if it would be okay for me to be his mother… ?”
“Joa!”
It was only for a while that he filled his selfishness with a slightly blushing face. The face of Yu-rim Pyo, who was holding the child in her arms and gently brushing her disheveled hair, gradually turned to a true color.
now.
It was time to ask the child what he was most curious about.
“Baby. So, where is that father now?”
