140 – First’s Press Conference (3)
Psychic powers are abilities that originate from monsters.
This is a story Grid once told me.
It is a story that is treated as a kind of urban ghost story in many countries, but it was the story that everyone vaguely thought that it might be.
The first reason is that the evidence was sparse.
Just as I was the same as a normal person even after a thorough examination, there is no difference between a person with superpowers and a normal person.
The second reason is the appearance of heroes, led by First.
First.
The world’s first hero and a man called the strongest hero.
Everyone thought of a hero in the story when they saw him defeating a monster with human power.
He became a modern hero who captured people’s hearts in an instant.
The power that such a hero uses came from the monster.
That means fundamentally denying the existence of a hero.
For this reason, the connection between monsters and supernatural powers has remained a mere urban legend.
But First brought out the story that had been buried as a ghost story of the city.
The person who even made the story remain as an urban ghost story.
When FIRST declared the bomb, flashes started to explode everywhere.
The heat was incomparable to when I asked a slightly interrogative question.
ㅡ The best hero? A politician would be better suited!
That’s right.
Isn’t Grid’s sarcasm appropriate?
You trash bastard.
BT holders were guessing to some extent.
The fact that supernatural powers originated from monsters.
Even though you know that, why do you think it has remained an urban ghost story?
Because everyone knows.
Because I know how dangerous the social chaos that will begin with the announcement is.
But you’re talking about it here?
The person who opened the hero era makes a statement that might destroy the hero era?
Everywhere, they raised their voices and continued asking questions to First, asking, “Is this sound grounded?”
“Yes. It is a well-founded story.”
After saying that, First mentioned patients lying down with psychic syndrome.
“Psychic syndrome is a disease caused by excessive exposure to monster particles.”
Monster particle.
After saying that, he continued the story.
The first monster appeared in Korea 20 years ago.
Since then, monsters have appeared all over the world, and considerable damage has occurred.
“Seeing the people screaming as the monster appears, I felt I had to do something. It was at that moment that I realized that something had power in me.”
In this way, First achieved the dignity of defeating a monster with his single strength.
After that, there were beings awakening to new powers like First in various parts of the world.
It is now possible to utilize the monster, which was just a huge piece of waste.
It was from then.
“From then on, the number of patients with psychic syndrome began to increase.”
Those who possess superpowers called black technology derived from the works of a certain subculture suggested a plan to use the corpse of a monster.
It was a revolution.
New materials have been continuously discovered, and facilities that are safer and more efficient than nuclear power plants have been created.
However, the explanation was that the number of patients with psychic syndrome began to increase as a side effect.
“When the monsters were just unwieldy waste, there was no problem. But now the monster is being recycled in many ways.”
First’s explanation was similar to a story in which electronic devices are lined up and people are constantly exposed to electromagnetic waves.
“So, the by-products from the monster’s corpse affected people like electromagnetic waves, and the result is a person suffering from a disease like psychic syndrome?”
When a reporter asked that question, First turned his gaze to the reporter who asked the question and nodded.
The reporter who received First’s attention then asked if there was any evidence.
Then First closed his eyes for a moment, then opened them again.
That moment.
ㅡ What the hell is this….
Something is floating in the air.
Very small particles emitting blue light are visible.
“The blue light you are seeing right now is a monstrous particle.”
When First said that, the people who had been asking questions until now covered their mouths and noses with their hands.
Monster particles create psychic syndrome patients.
However, it was a natural reaction to discover monster particles floating around like air.
“Don’t worry, most people won’t be affected that much.”
Patients suffering from psychic syndrome explained that it is a disease that only those who are extremely sensitive among those who have already awakened psychic powers.
The explanation continued that there was no need to worry as the probability was low.
Is the energy Grid expressed as being stagnant in the body of a patient with psychic syndrome a condensation of these invisible particles….
Grid, analyze this monstrous particle carefully.
ㅡ I know.
This sudden action by First must have been done to increase her persuasiveness in her own story.
But if this isn’t a hallucination or mass hypnosis….
Maybe this is a new possibility to fight Humbert.
Grid said that the source of his psychic power was a monster.
It was expressed that the human brain and heart evolved to replace the nucleus of the monster under some influence.
Then the problem here is how it was able to evolve like that.
Something from the monster entered the human body by some means.
So the human body was changed.
We came to that conclusion.
Grid actually used to treat patients with psychic syndrome by filtering extra energy from their bodies.
So that extra energy was accumulated in the patient’s body somewhere.
I was just speculating, but if these blue particles are the cause….
ㅡ Even minor copies are useful somewhere.
I looked around at the blue particles around me and found Elena with a sullen look on her face.
What’s the reaction like?
It was a sullen reaction, as if the person who had seen this particle from the beginning.
ㅡ Elena might have seen her from the beginning.
Maybe.
Maybe this particle prevented Elena from using her ability correctly.
Identified this particle is large.
Finding a needle in the sand.
This is a proverb that describes an overly difficult task.
ㅡ Conversely, it means that it is too difficult, but possible.
Yeah, that’s it.
Once you know there are needles in the sand, you can find them.
Until now, it was unknown what caused patients with psychic syndrome to encounter such a situation.
From noble mtl dot com
Now I know why.
This means that we may be able to find a way to treat patients with psychic syndrome at a faster rate.
—-Perhaps First’s invisible wall-like ability is also this particle.
First began the story that these particles were the remnants of the monster’s core.
A remnant from the monster’s core.
… Perhaps the first punch could be explained by this monstrosity.
I picked up an unopened water bottle that was on the desk.
There was something floating in the water bottle that emitted light like particles floating in the air.
ㅡ You used these particles!
Yeah, it might be something like that.
That could explain why Furst’s punches didn’t do any extra damage.
Humbert and First.
I think I saw a fragment of their abilities.
And that probably means that Elena can use this ability to some degree.
ㅡ I found a clue to catch him!
Yeah, that’s what’s important.
Until now, I felt like I was walking in a fog where I couldn’t see an inch ahead.
But from now on it’s different.
I found clues to where we should go and how to use our psychic powers.
“When the phantom appears, this monstrous particle reacts like a jolt.”
Phantom will try to appear there if you gather people with the ability to predict the future.
Then it was a story that First, who could catch this monstrous particle, would appear where the phantom appeared and deal with it.
First came up with clear answers that evaded the questions I asked.
Monster particle.
This unknown substance could explain most if any.
Why is First able to find Phantom?
The moment the phantom is about to appear, this monstrous particle reacts as if resonating.
Then why gather people with the ability to foresee the future when you can just follow that resonance reaction?
Occasionally, if you follow that resonant reaction, a monster instead of a phantom appears.
That’s why I wasn’t in Korea.
So, if there is a response from the place where the people with the ability to predict the future are gathered, there is a very high possibility that it is a phantom.
This particle is also the basis for being able to fight and win against phantoms.
I know that the power it uses comes from these particles, so I can counter it.
Monster particle, monster particle, monster particle….
He got through everything with just one word, monstrosity.
ㅡ Muan sweet water.
The existence of monster particles is a concept that has never existed before.
So no matter what the truth is, I have no choice but to be dragged around by him.
But when I heard the story, it was so plausible that I couldn’t even argue.
This was just such a situation.
First, who had been talking for a long time, quenched her throat and put on a rather serious expression.
“So I am worried about Hero Brave.”
ㅡ I feel like I know why that bastard held a press conference and talked about monsters.
Hey you two?
ㅡ Hey Nadu!
We exchanged nonsense in a detached state.
The reason why he held this press conference, and why he brought out the Muan Sweet Water monster particles.
It was a tactic to be persuasive to the person’s story and at the same time to beat the psychic, the hero, and even ours.
Because monster particles dwelled in the body, the human body changed to be able to use superpowers.
In other words, supernatural powers and heroes are humans who have changed to be able to use the power of monsters.
I don’t know, but the public’s gaze on supernatural powers and heroes will change drastically.
ㅡ Although we are in a more serious situation.
This is because patients with psychic syndrome reacted sensitively to these monster particles.
In its body, unfiltered monster particles float around like the particles in this mineral water bottle.
To cure a patient with psychic syndrome, this particle must be removed.
Hero Brave is treating a patient suffering from psychic syndrome.
He said that he had the power to steal supernatural powers, but he probably has the power to suck these particles into his body.
In other words, Hero Brave is exposed to a huge amount of monster particles.
I worry about whether my body will be okay.
I said I was worried, but in other words, I threw rice cakes that Brave might be a monster.
Now we can see how people will view us.
ㅡ Dog-like bastard….
f*cking bastard….
As we exchanged such words, we couldn’t help but stare blankly at First’s fluttering snout.
