It was so vivid that it took my breath away.
To the point where it can’t be compared to watching a video.
But who is Tae-jeong?
He was a man with the heart of a Buddha who could ignore things like this.
‘It’s fake anyway. It’s like a ghost. There’s nothing strange about seeing it. Besides, in this strange world, maybe this is a clue. I need to look more carefully.’
Gerard’s voice came to Tae-jeong’s ears as she was examining her naked body, wondering if there was any hint (?).
-Master, are you okay?
“what?”
-Heart rate exceeded 200. Anything higher than this is dangerous.
“that… it’s broken I am in a very normal state right now.”
-Are you breathing?
“Sounds useless.”
Dismissing Gerard’s words, Tae-jung began searching the room again when he could not find anything unusual (?) on Lee Soo-young’s body.
However, I couldn’t find anything like documents or USB anywhere.
All that remains now is the iron box hanging on the wall, which was an eyesore from earlier.
It was the same as the room safe I had seen at the Myeongdo Hallasan Hotel in the past.
‘How do I open this?’
Only people could not be touched, but other things could be touched vividly, so it was possible to operate the safe.
The problem is that it is locked.
I don’t know the password and I don’t have the key.
Not only that, but looking at the outside, it doesn’t seem to open like that either.
There is a handle, but there are no other holes or other things to be found.
I secretly pulled it, but it still wouldn’t budge.
Normally, I would have asked through Gerard, but even that was difficult because the things we saw were different.
“Looks like I’ll be here… do i have to wait Time for that… … .”
Even if it didn’t come as a rescue team, I could have waited a few days.
Now he is scattered and alone, but obviously the reason he volunteered here was because of the away team’s rescue.
Meaning you can’t devote a lot of time to personal gain.
As he was contemplating what to do, a cosmetic product caught his eye.
It was an eyeliner in the form of a long stick.
‘Let’s at least draw attention with this.’
Taejeong picked up her eyeliner and started writing something on the safe.
[Your things were stolen.]
‘Is this correct?’
As I wrote it, I couldn’t help but laugh.
Because I wanted to see what this meant.
But since he couldn’t think of anything else, he knocked on the desk loudly once.
bang!
“what?”
Surprised by the sound, Lee Su-yeong stopped drying her hair and looked around.
But then, he tilted his head and started drying his hair again.
Then Taejeong’s hand hit the desk again.
bang!
“What?”
This time, as if she was clearly aware of it, she jumped up from her seat and approached the desk.
And a mysterious message found.
“Your things… stolen?”
Fear flashed across her face as she read the message.
Then he starts to search every nook and cranny of the room, which is not very big.
Taejeong, who was watching her, was very frustrated with her behavior.
‘Who’s here? If it were me, I’d open the safe first.’
That’s what he thought, but in fact, if he was in this situation, there was a high probability that he would have searched the house first.
The existence of such a message, which was not visible until just a moment ago, means that someone has entered.
After checking the bathroom, she took one last look under the bed.
“There is no one. When the heck did something like that happen? Did I not see it? Nope. It can’t be. Clearly there was nothing… … .”
She muttered as if possessed by something, and then took the bracelet she had placed next to the dressing table to the safe.
Then, something like a hologram appears above the safe.
If you put your palm on it, beep! The door slammed with a loud bang! and opened
“what? Are you there? What did you say was stolen?”
Inside, all the items she had brought were intact.
One of them caught Tae-jung’s eyes.
Paper documents laid under something that looks like an external hard drive.
[Proposal for Special Proximity Weapon System Project]
It was what he was looking for.
Without thinking twice, Taejeong reached out and put her hand on the file.
‘done.’
Now all you have to do is hear the notification sound.
But, somehow, nothing happens.
‘Why? Isn’t this?’
While he was hesitant, Lee Soo-young checked the contents and closed the safe’s door.
However, the door got caught in Tae-jung’s arm and was half-open, preventing him from moving any further.
The door to the safe doesn’t even budge even if you force it.
“Why are you doing this? huh? Come on?”
While she was struggling with the door, Tae-jung came to a conclusion.
‘I think it’s similar to the magic stone quest.’
It meant that it had to be put in the inventory in order to fully secure it.
After thinking, he immediately opened his inventory.
By the way.
[The inventory cannot be opened.]
Inventory did not open.
I immediately tried again, but the same message was repeated, and the inventory was not opened.
“Gerard, why is my inventory down?”
-Anyway, the world the master is looking at seems to be an irregular boundary between the current life and fantasy science fiction.
“what is that? Can’t you explain it easily?”
-It means an incomplete space where the real and the fake are mixed. To put it a little easier, you can think of it as a kind of virtual reality, that is, a dream. That is why things in reality cannot be brought here. Of course, the concept is slightly different from human dreams.
“Then you? You are also a kind of skill.”
-I am not affected because I am in Master’s consciousness.
“Then how… … .”
It was Tae-jung who somehow wanted things to be solved easily.
I didn’t quite understand Gerard’s words, but one thing was certain.
In this place, everything related to awakening, including skills, cannot be used.
Taejeong, who was thinking about what to do, picked up the file without thinking.
Then, I heard Lee Soo-young’s voice that I had forgotten.
“Uh!? uh! Why is this!?”
As if she had seen a ghost, she grabbed the file.
And then I picked up the phone and started contacting somewhere.
“hello? oh, it’s me I need to send someone here now. something happened… Just let me go quickly, quickly!”
At her urgent words, Tae-jeong also became urgent.
If we continue like this, we will not be able to eat or die.
“Give it up, some. Why is this woman so strong?”
He grabbed the file with all his might, opened the door, and jumped out.
“Uh!? uh! no! at there!”
Watching Pyle float through the air and head out the door, she too reflexively jumped out into the hallway.
But soon she had no choice but to go back.
It was only then that I realized that I wasn’t wearing anything.
She came out into the hallway again, wearing only a loose gown.
The file has already disappeared without a trace.
A dejected voice came out of her mouth.
“What is this… … .”
After stealing the file from Lee Soo-young, Tae-jeong ran away and ran again and again.
I moved to avoid people as much as possible so as not to be caught by others, but soon an announcement came out inside.
I couldn’t understand everything because it was a foreign language, but I was able to understand a few words because it was English.
‘Now what? I have to get out of here.’
Anyway, since he exists like a ghost, he will not be discovered by people.
Roughly judging from the background of this place, it was a time in the distant past when the Awakened did not even appear yet.
It is correct to assume that there is no means to see him.
The problem is that the file you are holding is taken away.
In that case, there was a high probability that he would never get it again.
This is because he is currently in the state of an ordinary person who cannot demonstrate any ability.
If he wanted to steal the file, he would have no choice but to hand it over even if two or three people clung to him.
“Gerard, what shall we do now? Is there really no way A way to get out of here.”
-sorry. I’ve been doing calculations all along, but I can’t find an answer with the data I have.
“It’s such a waste to give up on this. You never know when an opportunity like this will come again.”
According to Gerard, the preceding level for this quest is 700.
If you go back to where you were, the document you are holding will not be an easily obtainable item.
If you think about what happened in Jeju Island or what happened at the Golden Lion Guild, you don’t know how much trouble you have to endure.
He didn’t want to miss this chance he had seized.
I was hiding in a corner and thinking about various things, but I heard a shout from somewhere.
As I turned my head, I saw a number of foreigners in uniform running with their eyes burning.
The sound of Bolmen came out automatically.
“What’s the point of making a fuss and running like that?”
From Tae-jung’s point of view, they were just a thing of the past.
Furthermore, didn’t he say that the world he sees now is like a dream in a fantasy science fiction?
I couldn’t help but be slightly annoyed to chase after something like this with heat.
A chase broke out between Tae-jeong, who started running again, and the people chasing him.
Growing crowds and growing crises.
It was a great comfort to him that there was no physical contact at all.
There were already several times when the escape route was blocked and there was a risk of being taken away, but each time he was able to avoid the crisis by using the characteristics of his body.
But is human being the lord of creation for nothing?
Soon, a mesh-like structure was installed at each gate entrance.
The place was sealed off like that, and he was already approaching the hallway of the research institute he had first entered.
The situation where the front and rear structures have already been installed and tightened.
I tried to run away, but in the end I couldn’t get out.
‘It’s like this.’
It was then.
A stranger’s voice reached his ears.
[Hey. black haired kid. The situation seems to be embarrassing. Can I help you?]
Hearing the voice so clear, Taejeong looked around and asked.
“who?”
[No need to look. because you can’t see me Rather… Are you Sirius’ child?]
At the word Sirius, Taejeong reflexively opened her mouth.
“How can he… … .”
[Since there is only Sirius among the 72 seats who possesses such an insidious aura. But he was imprisoned in the abyss. And since that period must have expired by now, he was plotting something again to say that he was not giving out his manners to others. that would be you kid, isn’t it?]
“What are you?”
[I don’t think that’s important. Aren’t you in a very difficult situation right now?]
“You mean you can help me get out of here?”
[of course. If you do me two favors.]
“What is it?”
[First, free me from being imprisoned here. It’s very simple and easy for you.]
“and?”
[The other one I can’t tell you right now. I don’t think you deserve it yet.]
“So. All I have to do is let you go.”
[That’s right.]
“What do I believe in you?”
[It seems that the situation has not been grasped yet. You can’t get out of here without my help. you have to wander all your life And then just once. A chance to get out of here. Do you know when that time will be?]
“… … ”
[It’s your anniversary.]
“under. Do you think that’s a joke now? Aren’t you having fun?”
[Believe it or not, it’s up to you. But aren’t you worried about the humans wandering around outside right now?]
Taejeong asked reflexively at the woman’s words.
“Where are they now? Are you all right?”
[till now. But if we don’t go to rescue them quickly, they’ll all die. This isn’t a very nice place. What should I do? Little. Do you want to end your life by killing all your colleagues outside and going round and round here for the rest of your life, or do you want to free me and let yourself live and save the lives of your colleagues. The choice is yours.]
