133 – A New Superpower
Even the arrival of the First doesn’t make the fact that there are huge numbers of victims.
Because of the situation, Seoul as a whole lost its vitality, and many stores were closed.
Construction was temporarily halted at a place where construction was actively progressing.
This is because the geotechnical structure became unstable due to the rampage of the monster, and a new survey was required.
That’s why it wasn’t that difficult to lead those pursuing me to a specific area.
ㅡ Are you okay?
Only 3 people… More stretched
Still, it doesn’t matter too much.
ㅡ Khehehe.
As I entered the steel-framed construction site, I could clearly hear the footsteps of those carefully following me.
Are you implying that I’m going to go on stage now that I’ve noticed my tailing and have the stage ready?
If it were me, I would have aimed for a sniping from an invisible place like that Galvo last time.
Sass!
Something came flying at great speed with a sound like wind ripping.
I lightly reached out my index and middle fingers and grabbed the blade of the object.
Then, the spirit of the people around me who were watching me grew stronger.
I looked into their eyes and carefully turned my head to where the ultrasonic knife had come from.
There was a woman in a suit with a very familiar figure.
“Long time no see, Galvo.”
From noble mtl dot com
I gently waved her hand at that guy.
The guy took a stance with a stern expression, as if he understood my words, or perhaps he noticed with a nuance.
He said something and started running straight towards me.
What are you talking about?
ㅡ He said he would kill me here.
Huh….
It would be dangerous to fight him in such an enclosed space.
Because he shows complex movements using the walls, pillars, and even the ceiling of a building.
But that was also the case when I was in China.
The moment he reached for his throat and reached out his knife, I cut the knife and touched his wrist.
“Ugh!”
The guy was staring at me with a look of astonishment, as if he was embarrassed that his body didn’t move all of a sudden.
With this ability, even an A-rank monster can be easily defeated.
If you stop the operation of your lungs, you will die from suffocation. If you stop the operation of your heart, you will die from cardiac arrest.
If you stop brain activity, you will die.
Now this guy poses no threat to me.
I broke his wrist and broke it.
“Keep it off!”
Perhaps it was because he was a skilled assassin, it felt like he was quite resistant to pain.
“I’m sleeping.”
Unlike the others, this guy must be a bit special among assassins.
I need to hear the information.
ㅡ It doesn’t seem to make any sense.
It’s good to know who these guys are trying to kill me though.
As Grid said, Humbert’s hand was right in front of me, but I don’t know what to do when I know the guys who are trying to assassinate me.
The assassin whose movements were sealed by my psychic ability passed out without being able to protect himself with his electric power.
After that, a boring battle ensued.
All of them were quite strong, but they were too simple opponents for me now, who use my superpowers like limbs.
I subdued them all and contacted headquarters.
I got a call from headquarters that they would send a transport vehicle right away.
ㅡ I hope there is an answer.
I see….
Not long after, a transport vehicle arrived from the headquarters, and I had to go back to the headquarters without a second thought.
***
An interrogation of the assassins took place at the headquarters where the atmosphere was threatening.
Since the author and Psycho were fluent in foreign languages, the interrogation went smoothly.
Because confession was too easy for them, who show off equipment and technology that only come out of science fiction.
Those who were given the confession voluntarily told their stories without hesitation.
In that situation, the only one who didn’t open his mouth was the galvo.
“To put it all together, it means that Brave broke the business to vent his anger or try a new business.”
Psychic Syndrome.
It’s a disease that suddenly occurs one day.
It seems that the mafia were using this incurable disease to make their fortunes.
Since the only member of the family has a fatal disease, they are secretly dependent on an unknown item called a cure.
“Actually, it was a bottle and a medicine.”
In fact, it seems that they were using psychic powers to put patients into suspended animation and selling items called cures to treat them at the same time.
It seems that these guys were the source of the bullsh*t that somewhere there is a drug that cures patients with psychic syndrome.
Unlike Korea, countries with quite large criminal organizations are said to be doing things like that to get money.
I was quite annoyed because he was a pretty good business man.
ㅡ It would have been better if he was appeased.
I guess so.
If I stand by their side, I will be able to heal patients in a true sense.
Treat patients and get paid.
That alone could make billions of dollars.
“Then why is he the only one who is fine?”
Yuna, who was watching her surroundings, cautiously opened her mouth.
Her boss looked at Yuna with her complex expression, and Yuna secretly hid her body behind her back.
“It must be something supernatural.”
The author answered Yuna’s question while sighing.
Something supernatural is working.
A psychic power enough to resist even a dangerous substance called confession.
What is it?
“First of all, how did these people get into Korea… hmm.”
The boss stopped talking and sighed.
It’s a monster.
Since the monster ran rampant in Korea, he must have taken advantage of the confusion.
Perhaps these assassins will attack me here in the future?
South Korea is no longer a country free from criminal groups.
We talked about this and that, and since it was late, we decided to continue talking tomorrow and dispersed.
I followed the author who expressed his desire to see me for a while.
And Yuna was included in my companion.
“Why did Yuna follow you?”
“Sister, don’t call me Yuna-san rigidly. She belongs to the same headquarters, but it seems very different~”
“I don’t like it?”
Yuna noticed my true identity.
Yuna pointed at Ji-eun and said something like ‘I know your identity, you monster!’, But after she was beaten by Ji-eun, she strangely changed into a friendly person.
Just as Yuna was fine even after being hit with a nuclear bomb by her boss enough to become Jimmy Neutron, Yuna was very strong unlike her first impression of her.
So, she was no longer afraid of the poor physical strength of Ji-eun, who was a natural golfer.
“So why did you call me?”
“Let’s talk about what that person’s psychic power is. That person’s psychic powers are special, so maybe there’s a way to use them.”
That’s what he said, but the author’s eyes were full of worries.
So much happened in that short period of time that we didn’t have time to talk calmly.
“The grid is also available.”
After entering the author’s lab and closing the door, Yuna looked at my chest and said that.
“You don’t have to grumble so much, go out, b*tch.”
The grid came out of my body with a distinctly annoying feeling.
Then Yuna quickly came out and pushed her body through the grid.
It was like forcibly isolating the grid from me.
It is subtly similar to the way the author looked at Yuna and me.
I looked at the author with that thought in mind, but surprisingly, the author also seemed to approve of Yuna’s administration.
What is it?
“Kuhm. So, do you have a sense of what that assassin’s psychic power is?”
This is the second time I run into an assassin with this.
So I’m asking if I’ve realized anything, but honestly, I’m not sure.
I scanned the whole body of the completely overpowered, blindfolded and gagged assassin.
Blonde face, strong body that is not excessive, calluses on the hands, even in this situation, spirited spirit.
And….
As I thought about the assassin, Yuna slipped her body between the assassin and me, blocking my gaze.
A cute guy.
I patted him on the head and pushed him aside.
And I grabbed the collar of Galvo who was trying to kill me.
“Oooh.”
I used my clairvoyance ability to scan his body.
… Does not exist.
“The ability to nullify my psychic powers, reduce the output of strengthening, hardening, and acceleration, and heal bruises and fractures that will remain on the body for at least two weeks.”
The author muttered, “Bruises, fractures,” And began writing information on her paper.
“Are you capable of revenge like your brother?”
“Maybe.”
But what can I say….
“It’s a little different.”
“Huh?”
Grid muttered as she took out her chocolate from the author’s refrigerator.
“What’s different?”
At Yuna’s question, Grid clicked her tongue and waved her finger.
The appearance was so disgusting that if you were nearby, you would want to feed it honey chestnuts.
I wonder if that was the case with Yuna as well, she glared at Grid with a teary expression.
“If you use superpowers, you can feel something that cannot be explained in words. You know that much, right?”
“That’s what….”
Those with keen senses like Grid and I can feel it.
Occasionally, people report feeling that someone is using their clairvoyance abilities or that they are eavesdropping.
There was a story that said that rather than feeling the gaze or presence of criminals, those people felt some kind of wave felt when using supernatural powers.
And each ability has a slightly different feeling.
“Even if you have multiple psychic powers, the feeling is a little different when you manifest psychic powers.”
Each of her superpowers has a slightly different feel.
But when an assassin uses psychic powers, it feels like they are using the same powers.
“So you mean you have one superpower?”
“It is very likely.”
Grid sat down in her seat, crossed her legs, and spoke to Galvo, who was restrained.
“What did he say?”
“That… If you want to live while calling out to each other, please cooperate calmly.”
You said Galbo.
When Grid finished speaking, the gagged Galbo shook his head in disapproval.
I removed the gag from his mouth.
Then the guy started talking about something.
“I didn’t expect that there would be guys with such bad backs even though they said they were heroes. They are asking if you are a member of some kind of mafia-like organization.”
I felt it the other day, but it feels like it’s a bit over the top.
“If you don’t know about that and want to live an easy life, I’d like to cooperate. It sounds like a legal transaction.”
Is it a judicial affair….
“How can I believe that?”
I think I can understand that without translating it.
“Yaya, Grid.”
I grabbed Grid’s shoulder as he started the engine to say something threatening.
In this case, other methods work than threats.
In the first place, this situation where such a strong human being is involved in such an organization is strange.
Because with this level of skill, I feel like I can slay bosses or anything with just a single knife.
Isn’t it because he’s found a weakness, so he’s obediently following orders despite his damned personality?
“That sounds reasonable.”
Grid suggested that the Assassin be willing to cooperate.
It was the content to the effect of ending well with each other.
However, the assassin shook his head after thinking for a long time.
Seeing that, Grid put on an expression of contemplation for a long time before hugging the assassin.
“What are you going to do?”
“What do you ask? There is a set time for this.”
Grid left with the words to see you later, and after about 3 hours, he returned with a sweaty assassin.
“I-I… hehehe, it’s L and Lena… hehehe….”
The assassin, whose legs were shaking, sat down on the spot and began convulsing his body.
We slightly distanced ourselves, looking at Grid with a look of satisfaction on his face with a fearful expression.
You… What did you do?
