32 Tue – The Legion’s Retribution (3)
“Look at me and take a picture of him. Send… to the military, the corps,”
[If you believe in us]
If you believe. That one word managed to close my mental head, which had gradually faded.
I clenched my teeth while trembling.
It has already happened.
had to fix
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry…”
I raised my arms trembling uncontrollably.
I trembled so much that I had to hold it with my other hand.
Breathing was getting harder and harder.
It was all because of me.
all because of me
[Take a picture. I don’t have much time. If you lose your breath and have brain damage, you cannot guarantee your memory.]
I shut my eyes tight.
The price for incompetence was brutal.
With the click of a shutter.
I finally got the camera working.
[Leave the rest to us. are you going to sit here Are you going to just lose again and watch over me?]
“…No, never. Never.”
[Then move. You must have an idea.]
Hangeul characters Hangul characters broke my heart.
I managed to move my still trembling legs.
“Gate!! It’s a sudden gate!”
“Take care of the patients!”
At about the same time, sirens and screams were heard from outside the hospital.
It’s not like we’re talking about the end of things for nothing these days.
But for those who knew the truth, a fierce war was in full swing.
I ran down the hospital corridor supporting my mother, who was crying from shock and complaining of vertigo.
The windows shattered and there was a riot.
rather it went well
After a riot, one missing patient will be buried naturally.

“…”
[Do you feel his emotions clearly? fierce anger and hatred. We were learning it. You don’t have to learn the feelings of helplessness and guilt. burn the hate Anger is power
dim joint.
Suddenly, a flash of light flashed and someone appeared with their whole body wrapped in bandages.
[These emotions are our strength. We will be more rational than anyone and at the same time hotter than anyone else.]
A few legionnaires moved cautiously, and stripped bandages off of Kang Do-yeon’s body, which was in a miserable state.
If left like this, she will die soon.
At the same time, the Legion’s nest moved.
He stretched out his tentacles towards her.
[He sincerely hopes for his brother’s life. I feel his sadness. Sadness is an unhelpful emotion. So now it’s our turn to erase that sadness]
Tentacles slowly wrapped around her body.
The six walls, which began as sticky mucus secreted from their tentacles, slowly enveloped her.
On the surface, it was no different from the digestion and absorption that the Legion had shown.
But the process that took place there was completely different.
[Assimilate our cells into her body. slowly, slowly. We replace each cell of her with our own.]
A complete analysis of the human genome with each part of her body was an added bonus.
As a result, the Legion was able to replace and reconstruct her body with its own.
[This is recorded in history. For the first time in the Legion, a command entity will be born that will act as an independent ego.]
This was a huge special treatment.
The emergence of another self within the corps that could threaten his position was not even assumed in the first place.
This was made possible because of the strong desire to be transmitted through a string connected directly.
[Don’t be afraid. I assure you, her robbery can be another weapon for us]
Kang Do-yeon was completely immersed in the six walls.
In the middle of the nest, the large, six-walled wall in which she is contained is shaped like a human womb.
She was completely immersed in the mucus it contained.
That slime was made by the endless collection of corps cells.
Existing cells that made up her body were decomposed into cells, and at the same time, they were restored to the exact same shape using new cells.
[It went well]
The entire corps ceased action.
He was waiting for a special nest that contained the five-year-old and Kang Do-Yeon.
[The enemies on the 35th floor are special and strong. Extensive energy loss is expected if the hole is drilled using the conventional method. Therefore, it is natural to reinforce the power]
The corps could not figure out what the enemies on floor 35 were.
They immediately took a corpse and tried to analyze it, but as soon as the lights on the body were extinguished, they turned into dry mummies and shattered into pieces.
Since it was not a normal living opponent in the first place, there was no way to analyze it.
[But I win next time]
Still, he checked all of his opponent’s bottom lines.
The corps had already finished calculating that they were confident that they would not lose.
[At the same time, our brain develops even more]
In this rainy time, the corps further strengthened other parts.
A part of the brain tissue of a 17-year-old human girl obtained from Kang Do-yeon this time.
In addition to the fully analyzed human brain functions, the corps brain also grows rapidly.
A highly advanced brain that cannot be compared to orcs.
Although it was not fully understood, the corps mimicked its structure and increased its volume thousands of times.
[Now you know for sure. I haven’t learned it yet, but if I do, I’ll be able to create a nurturing institution and speak]
The huge brain was now enough to fill a cavity by itself.
Although it is still close to a blank page, the development of the brain that holds the center anyway has increased the computational power and communication speed of the entire corps, and the consciousness of the colony itself has grown.
They evolved like that once again.
[Did you see it?]
“…okay.”
[This is the truth of the corps]
“I believed it.”
Watching the whole scene, he nodded in a dark voice.
His eyes were still fixed on the nest where his brother was.
“I heard you contacted me. Uh…”
“I’m Kang Shin-woo.”
“Yes. Kang Shin-woo.”
late night.
I took a taxi and headed to Cha Ji-yeon.
Collaborating with Cha Ji-yeon was now a prerequisite for me.
Otherwise, you never know when you will be hunted.
She, who knew my true identity as a member of Oh Yoon-ah’s family, had a disdainful face.
there’s no choice but to
Oh Yoon-ah wasn’t very active in alliance activities, and she was in an accident today and was unconscious.
In her opinion, I’m not worth using…
“I heard the news. News from your brother… even the body… to them.”
But contrary to my expectations, she sighed and took my hand.
To be honest, my eyes widened and I was speechless.
A strong and important being like her would care about that.
“Before I was a unit, I was a hunter and a person.”
Her bitter smile pierced her heart.
After all, I couldn’t figure it out.
Whether she absolutely sympathizes with her player or not, as a person who is not part of the Legion like a Legionnaire.
“Thanks for the comfort, but now I’m on something else.”
“Something else?”
“I’ll prove it. So… before the gate attack in the future, please take me too.”
I told her what I had decided to do.
Cha Ji-yeon’s eyes widened.
But I was sincere.
He didn’t feel sorry for the corps for being dangerous.
Because they’ll want it too.
I could see that now.
“Are you going to prove it?”
“Give me a request. I’ll take care of it.”
“That’s… I get it. Our players seem to find it interesting, too. Any increase in power is always welcome.”
Cha Ji-yeon nodded her head coldly.
It wasn’t that I didn’t believe it either.
[Explore the truth of the labyrinth beyond the 35th floor. Then we’ll get to Chapter 3, and we’ll be able to use additional features to make sure we’re safe]
One step ahead.
“Now you are twenty-three, and you are struggling at a young age.”
“Uh, I know that Hunter-sama is now twenty-four.”
“It’s like that…”
I was a little surprised at first.
She, who looked so grown up, was only one year older.
She smiled and fiddled with her phone.
“Don’t worry too much. The unidentified units that harmed my brother and attacked Yoona Oh, we already know their identities and are confident of victory. We will definitely take revenge.”
“What kind of guys are they?”
“It doesn’t give me much information either, but I’m sure you’ll find out.”
She nodded as if not to worry.
I decided to try it once.
Revenge didn’t matter anyway.
I don’t know how long it will take, but I, the Legion, will do it myself.
“thank you.”
Thank you for giving me this kind of heart that I can just ignore.
[It would be better to stick with it as much as possible. Enemies have the ability to track you]
“Yeah. But did they really shoot Yoona Oh because they thought she was a player?”
After breaking up with Cha Ji-yeon, I rubbed my hair.
When I thought about fixing my shattered mentality, there was something wrong with me.
Sniping the player means that they belonged to the same world, but the units of Oh Yoon-ah I know were far from those high-tech suits that were captured on CCTV.
“Or it could be a group that kills opponents on our behalf. I don’t know.”
With my tongue stuck, I got back into the taxi.
