has disappeared.
A lot of people who were there just a little while ago.
No, it was an ambiguous time to say that it was a little while ago.
seconds. In just a few seconds, hundreds of people in front and behind disappeared before my eyes.
As if it never existed in the first place.
How the hell did this happen?
“Captain? Chief of Staff?”
It was Gerard’s voice that came over the meaningless call.
– It seems that the illusion has been caught in the ball.
“Illusion work?”
-It means moving to a space made of fantasy.
“So you’re saying this is an illusion?”
-That’s right. But it is also a space that actually exists.
“What the hell are you talking about? Please explain so that I can understand.
-Hwansang Igong means an undisclosed 3.5-dimensional space. You can think of it as a passage that connects the two dimensions as a subspace that exists between the 3rd dimension of this world and the 4th dimension that falls into the gate.
“Passage? nope, that’s not the case Why did I come here?”
– It seems that the magic circle of fantasy science fiction was activated by some powerful force. And the source of that power is guessed at the pillar I saw a while ago.
“You didn’t tell me when you knew that?”
– This is a fact that I only learned after coming here.
“Then what about the others?”
-It seems that they all moved together.
“Then why can’t I see it?”
-I don’t know what’s going on in the subspace. but. Seeing as people are not captured by b6-1 remaining in 3D, it is clear that they were moved together.
“What, then? Are you saying that skills still remain in the present world?”
-It seems to be out of range and not swept away. However, since it has no mana infusion, it will soon dissipate.
At Gerard’s words, Tae-jung chewed on the explanation one by one.
If the 3rd dimension is the earth, the 4th dimension is the dungeon.
This place was somewhere in between.
And what is presumed to be the culprit behind this is a pillar in the laboratory.
If so, wouldn’t it come back to its original state if I smashed it?
“If you destroy the pillar, will it return to normal?”
– Most likely. Destroying one of the two space cores will return you to where you came from.
“Then you should do it right away.”
There were no pillars in his eyes as he turned around.
“No? Everything is the same, except for the pillars.”
The collapsed laboratory, the main entrance, cloudy weather, everything was the same without a sense of heterogeneity, except for the pillars.
Gerard’s explanation continued.
-Hwansang Igong is a strategy used when confining or attracting someone.
“therefore.”
-If it can be easily destroyed, there is no meaning in the existence of Jinbeop.
“Did you hide it? for a moment. Then you can hit the origin with my b6-1 in the 3rd dimension, right?”
– The attack itself is impossible without mana injection.
“Yeah, I knew you would say that. I asked just in case Let’s see. Then what should I do? Is it to find people first?”
First, I decided to look around.
If they had moved together, not all of them, but a few people could have been summoned together in the vicinity.
First of all, Taejeong, who decided to gather people one by one, soared high into the sky using the blaster.
Then my vision opened up and the panoramic view of downtown came into my eyes.
“Shall we go downstairs?”
First, I decided to search from the south.
Because the area changes when you cross the lab and go north, it was first to search the familiar downtown even if you get out.
‘Coming to think of it, the visiting team could have been brought here as well… … .’
It wasn’t very unlikely.
Suffice it to say, given the circumstances.
As Tae-jeong continued her search by flying from place to place, someone was caught in her eyes.
Two men wearing familiar equipment in the distance.
As I got closer, they were the team members who came with me this time.
“I see!”
When Tae-jung shouted in delight, the men’s faces turned to the sky.
At the same time, they approached Taejeong, who had landed on the ground.
“Regional Captain.”
“Are you two all?”
“Yes. Suddenly everyone disappeared… … .”
“How do you belong?”
“We are members of Team 2 of the Ministry of Magic led by the Chief of Staff. How the hell did this happen?”
“I don’t know the details either, but it looks like I got caught in the truth.”
“The truth? Are you saying it’s a trap?”
“It is similar. If it’s magic, fly magic is possible.”
“Yes.”
“There might be more people, so let’s do an aerial search. By the way, is your communicator working? Mine sucks.”
“We also have no signal at all.”
“okay. First of all, let’s go around the downtown area and meet again here. And unleash the greatest magic in case of emergency. I will come find you.”
“I see, chief.”
So the three were torn from the south, each tearing in three directions.
“Gerard.”
-Yes. master.
“Hasn’t b6-1 returned yet?”
-That’s right.
“What the hell are you maintaining, are you still there? It would be nice to have it at a time like this.”
– It seems that there was an error in the data due to the forced summoning.
“A mistake. That aside, seeing as there are people, it’s clear that they all came over together as you said. The question is, who made that? What is the purpose? What are you trying to do here?”
– You must have a high level of intelligence to speak this much. It’s probably not an ordinary monster.
“Isn’t there anyone who can guess at least roughly?”
– It is currently impossible to estimate.
It’s been awhile since we’ve had conversations and searched for a while.
‘That person… … .’
Another person caught his eye.
A Hunter wandering around alone.
Appearing to be a melee group, he was one of the special forces members who searched the laboratory together.
“female… Well.”
Tae-jeong, who was about to call him, closed his mouth again.
It was because the walking man had disappeared as if he had been absorbed by something.
“what? What just happened?”
Seeing the disappearing man, Tae-jeong sat down on the ground.
And I’m walking in the same direction.
In an instant, the son-in-law spun around, and the background changed in an instant.
“Here… … .”
The space he was standing in was supposed to be inside a building.
Mechanical and electronic equipment scattered everywhere.
It was very unfamiliar, but this space was somehow familiar.
It feels like I’ve been here before.
“for a moment. This is… … .”
Something flashed through Taehyung’s mind as he looked around.
had been here before.
That was just an hour ago.
“It’s a research lab, right?”
It was so clean inside that I didn’t recognize it at first.
LED lights brightly illuminating everywhere and various facilities that look like new.
The floor, as if it had just been wiped, had been transformed 180 degrees to the point where one wondered if it was the same place a moment ago.
“Isn’t that the lab you saw earlier?”
When Taejeong muttered with a worried expression, Gerard immediately answered.
– Structurally, the same building is correct.
“If it’s the same building in terms of structure, is it the second store or the second unit?”
– Until then, it is not confirmed. I am saying this because the design structure of this institute matches the design structure of this place.
“Yeah, well that’s good. But how did you get here again? Has the truth been activated again?”
-The method of Hwansang Igong is very complex. That possibility cannot be ruled out.
“Ugh. This is the starting point again. Let’s look back for a moment. Where did that person go earlier?”
Taejeong decided to take a look inside.
After experiencing it twice, there was no guarantee that people would not come in here either.
When he came out of the first room and came out into the hallway, he saw a scene that made him doubt his eyes.
It was because foreigners in white coats were walking around in groups of twos and threes.
“What is this again?”
It was a completely unexpected situation, so he was dumbfounded for a moment, but several people naturally passed by him.
The problem arose after that.
Suddenly, a human hand popped out in front of his nose.
Lao-tzu was surprised by this alone, but the arm with the hand was attached to his chest.
Before I could say anything in an embarrassing situation.
A man jumped out of his model.
Then the man walks ahead as if nothing had happened.
Instinctively, Taejeong’s hand reached for her chest.
“What is it? Something’s on my body right now… … .”
Taejeong, who was muttering as if possessed by something, was able to spot a group of people approaching in front of her.
People who enter and throw away even though they are blocking the road.
They flinched and stepped aside, but their steps were faster.
And another strange sight to see.
Even though our bodies collided with each other, we didn’t feel any shock at all.
Looking back for a moment, he finally felt something and reached out his hand toward the passers-by.
Then, his own hand passed through as it was.
So did others.
“Does this make sense? I can’t touch you.”
If I were to pick the most embarrassing moment in my life, I’d say right now.
Whoever can see it, a living human being passes through his body as it is.
No matter how many times I washed my eyes, it was nothing like a hologram.
Vivid texture of skin, eyes overflowing with life.
From the curved wrinkles to the oil on the face, the fluttering uvula, and the fluttering hair.
It was just a living human being.
So it was even more absurd.
“Gerard, what the hell is going on?”
-What do you mean?
“Can’t you see this? People are just getting through. I can’t touch you.”
– I don’t understand what the master is saying.
“Are you saying people can’t touch you? There is no substance, no substance.”
-sorry. I do not understand what the master said.
“No, can’t you see these people? Your hand goes right through it so you can see this.”
-I’m sorry, but I can’t see the humans the master said.
“What? can’t you see this? Then what do you see?”
-Old corridors and broken walls. And you can see the wreckage strewn about.
“… … .”
At Gerard’s words, Taejeong wanted the artificial intelligence to make a joke as well.
This neat hallway, which doesn’t look like it will come out with a speck of dust, is reflected in his eyes like that.
It was absolutely unbelievable.
“So. You don’t even see these people, and these dust-free hallways are all worn out and smashed into pieces, you mean?”
-That’s right.
“Then, how was the room you were in earlier?”
-The bones were all damaged and looked like it would collapse soon.
“No way. Obviously when I saw… … .”
In the midst of getting more and more into the labyrinth, people with a familiar atmosphere appeared at the end of the hallway.
Black hair and a similar appearance.
‘Korean? Japan? China?’
I’m not sure, but I’m sure he wasn’t a Westerner.
They were holding something like a chart and talking, but soon they started walking in the direction of Tae-jung.
and a pleasant voice.
“I heard CEO Kim decided to announce this project?”
“yes. If developed, it will be a technological innovation that breaks away from the existing aircraft-oriented weapon system.”
“Then wouldn’t it be better to develop and make a presentation? I am a little worried that I am just providing ideas to other countries.”
“According to our information, there are several places that are already working on similar projects. Rumor has it that there will be an announcement soon. In this case, you have to strike first.”
“That was his idea, not the research team’s, right?”
“What is not… … .”
“Anyway, I will leave a legacy within my tenure.”
“Is there anyone who is not a politician?”
It was just as they were laughing and chatting past Tae-jeong.
“excuse me.”
Reflexively, his hand reached out and touched the man’s shoulder.
Right then.
The man moved away, and a translucent window appeared in front of him.
