“Zhou Chang, I did ＜Stars in Space＞.”
“Huh? There was a game like that? What kind of game is that?”
He answered Yang Gwang’s question.
“It’s a space war game. It’s set in the distant future of the human era.”
Aiden continued.
“Oh, I guess I didn’t tell you. There are five games in total. Each game company acquired by BH made one game.”
Yang Yang-gwang shook his head and said.
The order in which the S-class appeared.
“Zombies, war survival, medieval fantasy, and… disaster survival. And even space war games?”
“That’s right. The reason why the space war game was omitted from my last mention was probably because there were no meaningful cases.”
At those words, the attention of the left was more focused on Zhuu-chang.
Even if not, it is a car that I was curious about his S-class ability.
But the game he played was also rare.
Aiden’s explanation continued.
“First of all, that game has fewer participants compared to other games. But there aren’t many cases that have evolved in particular.”
“why?”
“Because a lot of players died early. Despite lowering the difficulty.”
“Come to think of it… I don’t think I’ve ever seen a lot of people from that game at headquarters.”
At Aiden and Dana’s words, Zhu Chang opened his mouth with a bitter smile.
“Everything must have a reason.”
“Are you talking about a space war game with fewer superhuman swords?”
He nodded at Yang Gwang’s question.
“Yeah. From Aiden’s explanation, the game needs to be difficult for evolution to happen, but if you die, it will have a negative effect on your mind? .”
“Why? Because the enemy is strong?”
“It’s strong. Of course, in some ways, humanity has strong parts too. Otherwise, the game won’t work. But just because the enemy is strong doesn’t mean many players die.”
“sure?”
“It’s not because of the strength of the enemy, but because of the strength of humanity. Well, since each alien race has different characteristics, the relative strength of humanity also changes accordingly… But there are some things that apply universally.”
His words are enigmatic.
Yang Yang-gwang shook his head and asked.
‘A lot of people die because of human strength?’
“What?”
“It’s a number.”
“number?”
“Yeah. The number of heads is overwhelmingly higher than that of alien races. So the basic strategy of mankind is to push numbers. Especially when it comes to hand-to-hand combat. So how many people will survive the game?”
“…”
“As well as that, the game background itself is the worst for mankind. People die without air, but there is no air in space, right? If a spaceship breaks, you die, if your space suit is torn, and if not, you die if you fall behind and so on.”
People on the left nod their heads as if they understood.
His explanation continued.
“And from the game experience, I think it’s relatively difficult for humans to feel the need for evolution in the context of a game that uses advanced scientific weapons to fight alien creatures. It’s an environment in which it’s not easy to develop abilities. Obviously.”
Yuhan-wol, who had been listening quietly, said suddenly.
“Did you survive in such an environment?”
Isn’t that proof of how great he is?
Zhou Chang thought for a moment before opening his mouth.
“Yeah. That’s how it evolved.”
“how?”
“My basic ability is to change my body so that it can survive depending on the environment.”
Yang Kwang exclaimed in exasperation as he recalled the time he killed the processing team in the laboratory.
“Ah! So even without air?”
“That’s right. I got this ability because I tried to survive in such a harsh and rapidly changing environment.
Aiden spoke of his feelings.
“It’s a very unusual ability.”
“is it?”
“Yeah. It feels like your abilities aren’t standardized. The fact that they change according to the situation itself. The reason you were able to survive so many different crises for a long time must be because you developed those abilities.”
Yang Yang-gwang’s words came out of nowhere.
“Then is it okay if I get shot?”
And Yuhan-wol’s eyes gleam at his seemingly simple question.
I don’t know if Yang Yang-gwang is aiming for the water, but it’s because it’s a very important question that touches the core of his abilities.
He examines the opponent’s abilities in his head.
Zhu-Chang’s body changes to survive in the environment.
So let’s say the body can stop bullets.
But what’s really important here isn’t that it can change that much.
How fast is the rate of change?
Because that would be the difference between life and death during the operation.
Zhou Chang answered without hesitation.
“Yeah. It’ll be fine.”
I’m pretty sure I’ve never actually been hit.
He continued, knowing that everyone would have such doubts.
“Of course, the weapons of the future in the game are much faster than the bullets of modern humans. So my body will react faster than the time it takes for a bullet to hit my body.”
Yang Kwang opened his mouth.
transform… It sounds like there is no weakness in doing it.
Ju-chang looking at such Yang-gwang.
“When I woke up. When you woke up. I woke up in the vessel, but I wasn’t embarrassed at all. It wasn’t very different. That’s a very common axis in the games I’ve been playing. Oh, of course, broadcasting It’s been helpful. It’s a quick way to figure things out.”
As soon as the self-introduction was finished, everyone looked at Aiden.
I was about to move on now, but Aiden looked at a person.
“Before we move, there is one thing I want to ask you.”
Aiden’s words continued in the eyes of the left crowd.
“Miss Dana. Can you explain how you got out of the brainwashing?”
Yuhan Wol thought.
‘I don’t miss it either.’
Because that’s the part I’m very curious about.
Because this is perhaps the most important thing for us right now.
After all, it can be said that BH’s powerful power is basically maintained through powerful brainwashing of superhumans.
If not, how can you so tightly manage and control so many different personalities and abilities?
The first being who escaped such brainwashing was Dana.
So, from her experience, something might be able to get a clue to break BH.
It was never the tone of questioning, but it was an unavoidable question.
However, words do not come out of her easily.
Dana sighed briefly after a moment at the silent gazes looking at her, and asked again.
“Are you asking why the brainwashing is broken?”
“okay.”
A brief mention of her popping out.
“Because you tried to rape me.”
There was silence in the left for a moment.
It was because it was difficult to put words on it.
Aiden asked in a more heavy tone.
“Who would do that…?”
“BH.”
After uttering those short words, Dana closed her mouth.
But her answer was clear.
her attitude too.
As if it was not easy to believe, Yang Gwang asked if what he heard was true.
“That Bruce Hendrick was trying to do that?”
“…”
Instead of the silent Dana, Aiden spoke slowly.
“In general… there are studies that show that successful people in society are more sexually active.”
“What do you know?”
“Even if I knew him well, would I know such a personal thing? First of all, Bruce is not married. He doesn’t have a girlfriend officially. So, he must have had a free sex life. Of course, he had to be careful not to get into a scandal.”
Yang Yang-gwang recalled the contents of his investigation and said.
“That’s right. Seeing that it hasn’t been a major issue until now, it seems like he was very concerned about it. Unless he didn’t do it at all.”
“So. Hmm, if you look at it that way, superhumans can be a good solution for him. Since they are thoroughly controlled and even brainwashed, there is no risk at all. Because I don’t have any.”
Aiden stopped talking and looked at Dana.
“Ah… I didn’t mean to say it in front of the person involved… I apologize if I offended you.”
“It’s okay. It’s not that I was hurt… Thanks to you, my brainwashing was broken.”
She continued, answering in a cool tone.
“I think it would be better for them to understand this issue by briefly mentioning my past. I used to be an aspiring celebrity.”
Dana’s words brought back Yuhanwol’s old memories.
‘ah… therefore.’
He remembered the first time he saw her.
I wondered why such a woman is here.
“I had been a trainee for quite some time… Then I was secretly asked to pay sexual favors. To get a chance, I had to unconditionally.”
“…”
Knowing that it would be difficult to say anything special, Dana continued to speak as if reciting.
“I turned it down. And I’ve been deprived of every opportunity since then.”
Dirty behind-the-scenes stories from the entertainment industry that come out occasionally.
How hard would it be?
Yuhanwol looked at her calmly speaking.
“Anyway, after that, I accidentally applied for the beta test, and after I got out of the experiment, I went to BH. All superhumans who finished the experiment had to go to the United States. The abilities they developed there are precisely tested and receive mental education. Various trainings are also available. Take it. Necessary for the operation.”
Aiden, who was listening, said.
“Looks like a secret facility. It’s only natural from the perspective of BH, who has to systematically manage superhumans.”
“I did not know?”
Aiden answers Yang Gwang’s question.
“I thought I’d need something like that, but I didn’t know about it. It must have been managed completely separately from the Ubermensch project team.”
When the two did not continue their conversation, Dana spoke again.
“Anyway, that was when I was training at the headquarters. One day I felt something different.”
“which?”
“I could see Bruce sneaking around the scene. And even his gaze on me.”
Yuhan-wol looked at her and thought.
‘Did I say the ability to feel a crisis?’
That must have been before the brainwashing was broken.
That is, when Bruce is an ally.
Even if his gaze was lustful, if this explanation of hers was true, it was a really great ability.
“After a while, I got a call. See you from above.”
After Dana paused for a moment, Yuhan-wol asked.
“Then, did you feel a secret crisis and became aware of Bruce’s existence?”
“Actually, it wasn’t that big of a deal, because the presence around him was so terrifying.”
Aiden asked, as if he felt something from her explanation.
“Did Bruce have escorts? Supermen too?”
“yes that’s right.”
“Do you know anything?”
“I don’t know what kind of beings they are. They don’t come out. But the numbers are quite large. About seven. And one of them is…”
Dana continued speaking while looking at Yuhanwol.
“Perhaps… no, he must be an S-class. It’s because no one but Hanwol has ever felt that intense.”
‘Are you finally finding out about BH’s S-class superman who was hiding under the veil?’
Yang Yang-gwang’s eyes shone brightly.
Not only that, but everyone’s attention was more focused.
Yuhan Wol thought.
From Bruce’s point of view, of course, he would use one of the strongest Supermen as his escort.
Your own life is the most important thing
But it doesn’t seem that the way she speaks comes from that feeling.
“Have you seen him in person?”
