Chapter 2 – Episode 2
Grabbing my pounding heart, I began an experiment I had never done before on a killer.
“Hey, how about this!!”
The first experiment I did was a mosaic.
When the image quality of the killer’s eyes, which were separated and floating in the air, was disrupted, his pupils changed to 8 frames.
“Why! “What are you asking?”
The movements were already messy because the eyes and body were not in sync.
It seems as if they have lost their clarity due to the mosaic and have now lost their sense of direction.
Instead of stopping there, he cut off the hand holding the knife with [Cut] And disappeared from this world for a moment.
When I clicked [Paste], The hand that had disappeared reappeared.
When I used [Copy], My right hand increased to two.
When I did [Revert], My right hand returned to 1.
The tension was relieved as the situation was edited according to my thoughts. On the contrary, it was fun.
‘Me. ‘Maybe it’s surprisingly strong?’
If there is just one problem.
‘I’m not dying.’
[Edit] In the end, it does not lead to reality.
Even when the neck is cut, blood does not gush out. Even if your hands expand to three or decrease to one, you do not feel pain.
I can confuse them, but to kill them, I have to hurt them myself.
Kill the killer yourself?
If it were an ordinary person, they would feel the fear of murder.
A person with ordinary abilities would be reluctant to commit murder.
But not me.
My brain was refined by all the videos I encountered while editing.
Hundreds and thousands of people were killed using CG, and the cruel scenes were viewed without mosaics.
And that damn bastard struck first.
“Ugh!! You son of a bitch!! I’ll kill you!!”
The killer with split fingers, suitable for my experiment, screamed.
He seemed ready to chew me up at any moment, but the knife he was holding was already in my hand.
The moment you try to stop the killer’s movement using [Stop], It hits your head! I felt a headache.
‘Is this overload…’
There is no mana or energy like in the game, but overload occurs if you use a lot of superpowers.
Just 5 minutes.
I can’t believe I’m overloaded after only using my ability for 5 minutes.
‘I guess video editing and real-life editing are different.’
Even if it is due to overload, the ability can no longer be used.
If you force yourself to use your abilities in an overloaded state, they will run out of control and go beyond your will.
You may also suffer irreversible damage and lose your superpowers.
Since I took the killer’s weapon anyway, I don’t have to use my abilities anymore.
That was my mistake.
As the overload came, my abilities slowly began to loosen.
The killer’s body, which had been divided into pieces like a puzzle, began to come back together.
Her joints joined together and became her fingers. Her fingers were attached and became her hand.
Her wrist was attached and became her arm. The upper body was created as if undergoing a combined transformation.
Although the knife was still in my hand.
“Hehe… You. Now I’m behind. “You bastard.”
“Why don’t we pretend it never happened…?”
I tried to use [Edit] Again to [Cut off] The guy’s head.
Strong!!
“Pfft!!”
I dropped the knife I was holding because of the intense headache.
A killer running fast.
The moment his hand was about to strangle me.
Splash!!
The loud sound of water hit my ears.
Shaking from a headache, I finally looked ahead and saw that water droplets were covering the killer’s face.
“Gurgling?!”
The guy seemed embarrassed and tried to get away, but he couldn’t push the water away with his hands.
As I was watching the killer struggling with his legs weakened, I heard footsteps behind me.
“Are you okay?”
“All, you…”
When I heard the woman’s soft voice, I turned around and saw a black figure approaching.
As I came under the streetlight, a woman’s figure caught my eye.
Short, light brown hair.
Having watched a lot of porn, I would venture to guess that it was a pure white shirt with breasts that looked like full B cups.
A black skirt with a length that does not cover the knees.
And.
The [Superpower Association] Badge attached to the lapel of a dress shirt and sparkling in the light of the streetlight.
A woman with a confident expression stood next to me with a slight smile.
“You’re not hurt anywhere, right?”
“Uh… Yeah.”
“You’re lucky. Meeting a villain and being alive? Are you a psychic?”
Should I be honest about my abilities?
After thinking for a moment, I smiled awkwardly.
“Welcome.”
“Hmm? Welcome?”
She looked up and down my body as if she was curious and then lifted her shoulders.
“I’ll hear the details after we arrest that bastard. Is it okay?”
“Yes…”
Even though I was involved in troublesome work, I couldn’t refuse.
“That’s a good answer.”
Maintaining her smile, she took one look at her killer and furrowed her brow.
“You crazy bastard. “You drink that.”
As she said, I also saw the killer, but she opened her mouth wide and was drinking water, probably because she thought she couldn’t get rid of the water covering her face.
Thanks to this, the water droplets covering her face decreased to the point where they covered her nose and mouth.
The woman sighed and took out her bottle of mineral water from the black bag in her right hand.
Click~
I opened the lid and sprayed it into the air.
The water should have fallen to the floor according to the law of gravity, but the woman stretched out her hand forward.
“Keueueu!!”
A large drop of water was created again on the face of the killer who was barely able to breathe after drinking all the water.
In the end, the killer rolled his eyes and passed out because he couldn’t breathe. Soon after, someone who appeared to be a police officer appeared and arrested him.
I was blankly watching all the scenes.
“Then shall we go?”
“Yes…”
We were dragged together.
“Mr. Park Jinsu? At 27… Huh? “You’re not registered on SuperpowerNet?”
“I just woke up.”
“That’s not possible. “Isn’t it the law to register all psychics the moment they awaken?”
“Sorry. As I lived day by day, I had no time to spare and my thoughts were short.”
I pretended to be as pitiful as possible and lowered my head.
“The fine for illegal non-registration is 1 million won. Would you like to use a card? Would you like to pay in cash?”
“Can I pay in installments…?”
It was pointless.
Aside from money, the bigger problem is registering your abilities on SuperpowerNet.
[Superpower Net]
When awakened, it is a site that everyone in the world, regardless of gender or age, must join. Although the details will not be revealed, the name will be revealed.
I also searched [Edit] On Superpowernet every single day from the day I woke up until yesterday, but I couldn’t find a single person with the same abilities as me.
‘So I’ve been hiding it until now… Damn it.’
As I was scratching my cheek, I saw the woman who saved my life a little while ago.
“I am Bae Ji-soo, a Class B talent from the Korea Psychic Association.”
Jisoo Bae sat across from me.
“Officially, it is correct for awakened psychics to go directly to the association and register, but since time is limited, I will keep it simple.”
“I understand.”
“You don’t have to be so nervous. The name of the ability and a brief description of its effect. And all you have to do is demonstrate it yourself.”
“You said a little while ago that you were a welcome group. What is your name?”
“Separation…”
“Separation? “Can you show me what your abilities are?”
She nodded and extended her palm towards her.
She cut off her thumb and moved it to her side using [Cut], Which is part of [Edit].
“Oh? “Are you not sick?”
“It doesn’t hurt.”
I was a little nervous because it was my first time using it on my body, but the killer didn’t scream that it hurt.
“Hmm?”
Bae Ji-soo looked around at my finger floating in the air.
“The cross-section is black…”
She put her hand through the gap where it had fallen and passed through.
“There’s nothing blocking it… It’s literally separated, isn’t it?”
“Yes.”
“Is this the maximum distance?”
“Maybe?”
“Would you like to stretch it further?”
Pretending to comply with her words, she lied and completed the test of her abilities.
“The duration is short, and the efficiency is not that good, so it’s probably grade F.”
“I see.”
Jisoo’s head tilted as she stood up with her documents in response to my answer.
“Aren’t you sorry?”
“Not really.”
“How amazing. There’s no way other people have F-level abilities like mine! “They deny reality.”
“Ahaha… I knew to some extent.”
Jisoo turned to see my awkward smile.
“It will take a while to register the documents. Please sit in the back and wait a moment.”
“Yes.”
While she was working on hers, I started to grasp my abilities again.
First, you can do all the simple tasks used in editing.
[Copy] [Paste] [Cut] [Revert]
I haven’t tried it on people yet, but I think I can [Pause], [Reverse play], And [Double speed] Just like when I’m working on a video.
Wouldn’t it be possible to draw something like Paint? But it was impossible.
They say creation is impossible.
As I was learning about the pros and cons of my abilities, something suddenly occurred to me.
‘Would you like to be picked on by someone in real life?’
Nooki.
Basic knowledge of editing by drawing outlines to separate the background from the subject.
I’ve already tried it in videos, but I’ve never done it in real life.
A little while ago, I unconsciously swung at the killer.
While looking for the subject out of curiosity, I caught my eye to see Bae Ji-soo talking to the police officer on duty.
I used [Edit] To get her outline.
If it were a video, you would have to work step by step with the mouse, but it is still a superpower.
She just scanned it with her eyes, and in an instant, a sparkling dotted line appeared around her.
It seemed like only I could see the dotted line, and the police officer talking to Bae Ji-su did not detect anything strange.
The moment I shout [Cut] In my head.
Thrilling!!
“Aaaaah!!”
An intense headache suddenly struck me, as if my head had been hit with a hammer.
As he fell to the floor, holding his head, Bae Ji-soo came up to him in surprise.
“Are you okay?!”
“Huh… Huh… It seems like it’s an overload… From before…”
“Overloaded? It’s coming now? Anyway, please drink some water here.”
As I sat down in the chair and took a sip of water, the headache slowly subsided.
“If you feel uncomfortable, lie down.”
“Thank you…”
“Cheolmin. “Can’t you do it faster?”
“I’m doing it…”
Is it greed… Or is it impossible…
No. I’m sorry.
[Edit] Is possible, but my skills are lacking.
That means.
This time, she picked the black skirt she was wearing, not the entire belly.
‘It’s not even a living thing. The area is also small. If this is enough… Cut it!!’
The moment she shouted inwardly, preparing for a possible headache, the skirt that covered Jisoo’s butt disappeared.
Pure white panties and a firm buttock that made you want to touch them appeared.
The police officer who was looking at the monitor scratched the back of his head and turned his head.
“The person in charge has to come because of the security code… Huh?!”
“Ac. “I can’t even register… What’s wrong?”
Seeing the policeman unable to continue speaking, Bae Jisoo followed the policeman’s gaze and looked down.
She discovered that she didn’t have the skirt she was supposed to have.
“Aaaaah!!”
“Ji Jisoo!! Sleep!! “Oggggguck!”
Water from the water purifier tank covered the police officer’s face.
