63 – Interlude (4)
A week has passed since the monster commotion in the form of a hero suit.
In the end, a complete enumeration was conducted, but there was no suit that showed an abnormal reaction like the suit-type monster.
Some people complained of anxiety, but as if to cover up that anxiety, the news that the hero equipment restrictions were being lifted came out.
As the frequency of the appearance of mutant monsters is increasing worldwide, the intention was that Korea would follow suit.
When news like that came out, people’s eyes were all on regulation.
Isn’t it dangerous if restrictions on hero equipment are lifted?
No, it’s safe because you can catch monsters and villains better.
The Internet community has heated up with such a topic every day.
Perhaps this news came out at the right time.
I blankly browsed the community talking about hero gear, then glanced sideways.
ㅡ Hmm, hmm.
Grid is sitting at his desk and studying with a serious expression on his face.
Yes, it is studying.
As if I wanted to go to medical school, the books I paid for as necessary expenses finally arrived.
Grid has been studying ever since his major book arrived.
A diligent guy.
Because Grid is a monster, he showed concentration that was incomparable to humans.
I looked at that guy with a strange feeling and picked up the thing I put down next to the bed.
Sensory Synchronization Device.
It is a device that connects the hero and the office more closely and helps the hero who is dispatched to the scene.
There are no side effects.
I’ve been wearing this device for a while and thought that Grid might get caught, but nothing like that.
Those devices that can only be seen in science fiction are appearing one by one.
So, sooner or later, will we be able to curb the monster’s power or create something that the monster doesn’t like?
ㅡ Perhaps, just as humans study monsters, that man also studies humans and acts like that.
Grid, who had been looking at his major books for a while, said that.
Studying humans….
ㅡ Brave. Can you do this
As Grid said, he held out his palm to me and folded his middle finger.
And then he put his hand down on the bed.
“Of course you can.”
I laid down on the bed with my other fingers extended and only the middle finger folded along the grid.
ㅡ Now, lift your thumb, index finger, and small finger in order.
I followed Grid’s words and raised his fingers in turn.
ㅡ Then listen to your ring finger.
Saying that, Grid raised his ring finger.
How difficult is that… Uh?
When I tried to lift my ring finger, my finger trembled and had no strength.
ㅡ This means learning to be human.
“How did this happen?”
ㅡ The human hand has muscles that move the thumb, index finger, and little finger, but the ring finger is a structure that relies on the extensor muscles attached to the other four fingers. Can’t move alone.
“You?”
ㅡ This hand was only imaged so that I could move comfortably from the beginning. It looks just like a human hand, but has a different internal structure.
Just as Grid gets to know humans like this, the monsters he touches will gradually get to know humans.
After that, I had a terrible thought that a time might come when humans and monsters could not be distinguished even if they were mixed.
ㅡ Perhaps a way to fundamentally block the monsters might be being created.
I hope so.
ㅡ Shouldn’t you hate it?
If the monster doesn’t appear, no one will suffer anymore, so why hate it?
ㅡ A hero is a job that exists because there are monsters. Without monsters, there would be no heroes.
“Uh….”
Listening to Grid’s words, I felt as if I had been hit in the head.
Because I definitely thought that the absence of a monster is the same as losing the meaning of a hero’s existence.
If the monster disappears, this society will no longer survive.
Won’t it change into another form?
ㅡ Being a monster has its good points.
“But that’s not it.”
As Grid said, it is true that if the monster disappears, the significance of the hero’s existence will disappear.
Still, it is right that the monster disappears.
Even if I can’t work as a hero in the future.
ㅡ Unexpected. No, it’s not surprising.
After saying that, Grid turned his gaze back to his major books.
He’s still a weird guy.
***
The end of July is approaching.
I sent a KakaoTalk message to the author because I had completed writing a report on the sensory synchronizing device.
Then the author brought out the words to come to the designated place, just like the hero suit was inspected the other day.
I thought it was the same place because I used the expression last time, but the address that popped up on my smartphone was a different location from the last time.
ㅡ You are quite strict.
Sure.
Perhaps they periodically change the route to the underground shelter in this way.
Perhaps to prevent the invasion of villains or monsters.
I walked towards the address printed on my smartphone.
When I entered the elevator to the designated building and entered the QR code, the elevator closed and the elevator began to descend.
The elevator opened after going down about 3 floors below the originally marked floor.
When I got off there, there was an elevator prepared for transfer.
ㅡ Great. These days it seems that movies can’t keep up with reality. It feels like a completely different world here!
Grid seemed to be quite pleased with the situation and began to beg to go quickly.
It’s because of Grid’s reaction, but I’m also quite excited about this situation.
An elevator that goes down to a floor other people can’t go down.
As the elevator door opens, another elevator ready to go down to the basement?
Because it’s a situation that men can’t stand.
As I went down the elevator excitedly, I began to see a very familiar sight.
As the elevator door opened, the same receptionist as last time….
“Isn’t that Ji-eun?”
“Oh, how did you know?”
At the time, I didn’t notice it because I thought it was someone else, but when I think that it might be the author, there are parts that I can see.
Because you can feel the difference in your steps.
“I’ve known you for 3 years, so I know roughly by feel.”
“Oh, is that so? So you didn’t notice it last time?”
“Originally, everything was like that at first. Anyway, I gathered the data.”
I said that and tapped the bag I was carrying.
From noble mtl dot com
“Thank you.”
“We are more grateful.”
“Really?”
“When I tried this, it was amazing.”
No matter how wide your field of vision is, it is human beings who miss the small details if you concentrate.
This is a device that can catch even that part, so if it is put to practical use, it will help countless heroes and citizens.
I feel like bowing my head to the people who made this.
“I wasn’t involved in the alpha testing of this, so may I try it out?”
“Yes, yes.”
I handed the stuff I brought to the author.
“Follow me.”
I started walking down the hallway following the author.
Another one.
As I was listening to the sound of the heels of the author, I suddenly thought of graduation.
“Ji Eun-ah.”
“Why?”
“You’ll be graduating in about a month.”
“Isn’t it?”
“Then are you still working here?”
When I asked that question, the author who was walking in front of me stopped.
Then he grinned and put his hand on my shoulder and put his mouth in my ear.
“It might change depending on how the seniors do it.”
It felt like her head was spinning while listening to the author’s passionate line somewhere.
I thought this was a citrus note….
It felt like her heart was pounding and making a loud noise.
“That, what is that….”
“I don’t have to know.”
The author grinned again and she started walking ahead.
I stood there blankly and stared blankly at the author.
ㅡ It looks like I will have to go on vacation for 2-3 days soon.
What are you talking about?
“What are you doing there?”
“I’ll go!”
The place the author headed was the same room from last time.
Judging from the scent of the author’s perfume, she was the expected room for the author to stay.
“Sit comfortably.”
The author got in the car in front of me and sat in front of me.
As the author’s eyes met hers, she remembered the situation earlier and felt a fever rise on her face.
So, as I tried to look away from her, I felt that her head was a little dizzy.
This feeling is the sensation felt when the sensory synchrony is activated.
“This is the senior’s point of view.”
The author was in her comfortable position, closing her eyes and caressing the nape of her neck.
I’m just touching her sensory tuning device, but why does she look so bewitching today?
She lowered her head slightly, feeling that something was wrong with her.
Then, the part of the author placed on her desk caught her eyes.
I quickly turned her head to the side.
“Poop.”
… sh*t.
Since the senses are synchronized, the author will not be able to know where my eyes went.
Ah, I feel like I’m going crazy because I feel something strange.
But with her eyes closed, she seems conscious.
“Senior, your eyesight is very good.”
“Really?”
“Yes. I have about 0.8 In both eyes. Seniors seem to be over 2.0 Degrees. Is this also the effect of psychic powers?”
The author said she was originally a bit inclined to analyze like a researcher.
But she felt more like a researcher than before, perhaps because of her location.
It was a bit awkward because it felt like every single thing was being analyzed.
“Do you know why we blocked our senses like taste and touch?”
“I know. Supporters are mostly non-combat-type abilities, so sharing the pain is ridiculous.”
“Still, it has already been implemented. I’ll try this once to see if it works.”
After the author said that, she took off her sensory synchronizing device for a moment and put it on the table before she began to touch something.
Perhaps you are contacting the machine for administrator use.
“This will allow you to fully tune in to the wearer’s senses. Aren’t you curious how it feels?”
“You should be curious.”
“Then, would you like to try each other?”
“Is that so?”
She was a beta test, so even though Yuna tried to understand the scene with my eyes, she never did the opposite.
I nodded because I was curious about what it would feel like to see the world through someone else’s eyes.
Then the author got up and went to bed.
“Huh?”
“If you share other senses besides sight, it will be dangerous if you don’t take a comfortable posture.”
As the author said, she lay down comfortably on the bed and used the sensory tuning device.
“Take a sip of iced tea.”
According to the author, she drank iced tea.
“Ah, I can definitely taste it. It feels sweet and cool.”
“Really?”
I glanced at the author who said that.
“Do you like breasts that much?”
“Yes?”
I felt my body tremble at the author’s words.
“Just kidding.”
I wish she would refrain from picking people up and down.
From there, I tried various actions according to the instructions of the author.
I did things that seemed a bit bizarre, like lifting something, drinking water, closing one eye, or balancing on one leg.
The author turned off her sensory tuning device and got off the bed.
“Whoa. My senses are a bit tangled, so I feel more sick than I thought. In order to fully share the five senses, I think it would be more stable for supporters to fall into a state of suspended animation.”
The author muttered so much and held out her hand to me.
“Let the seniors do it this time.”
“Uh, yes.”
We switched devices, and this time I went to the author’s bed… The author’s bed….
ㅡ A foolish bastard.
This is a situation that everyone, even non-adolescent boys, avoids, you bastard.
“What are you doing?”
“No, nothing.”
ㅡ I threw her body into the soft and comfortable bed where Ji-eun usually sleeps. And she sniffed and sniffed.
Do the damn thing.
