Chapter 237 – Pocket Girls
“…A genetic enhancement facility?”
“Yes! To be precise, it is a facility that forcibly turns humans into supernatural powers!!”
“…!!”
Seong-il did not know what kind of facility this was because the in-game only informed him that it was an important facility. When he learned the truth and was shocked. The doctor next to him corrects her words.
“Wrong.”
“To…?”
“To be precise, it’s not about ‘creating’ a psychic, but about making the potential that is inherent in them bloom.”
“…Heh! Isn’t that what it is?”
“It’s different. What you’re talking about is creating something out of nothing. I’m talking about creating something out of something.”
“…”
Lia was speechless at the doctor’s sharp answer. Perhaps to change the subject, she gets angry and starts raising her voice at her party.
“Hmph! From there to there!! Anyway! Make sure to back up your research data with a data storage device!”
“Okay.”
Having said that, Hyperdan took out a strange-looking mechanical device from his pocket and went to a nearby computer-like mechanical device and started doing something.
‘…Is that liquid some kind of unusual device?’
Members of the hyper group leave Lia as a surveillance station and busily move her body to collect data.
Before they knew it, even the supernatural powers who seemed to be their partners were taken out of the ball and started to command something. And Dr. Lowe, who saw that, frowned and started talking to himself.
“Hmm… There’s a monitoring device, so any unauthorized balls must have sounded a warning… How can we find them?”
Ohhhhh!! We did some hair! I had my non-powered colleagues lift the partner’s balls one by one, and then I used a special device that made their biological reactions look like one!”
“Ah… You used your brain a bit. If that’s the case, not only would you misunderstand them as wild psychics, but you could have sneaked them in.”
“Ohhhhh!! Right?”
‘…Let’s start soon.’
While she is distracted by her conversation with Dr. Ria, her Seong-il draws on her inner energy and begins to grasp the surrounding situation using 『Sensation』.
‘Hmm… You’re starting to move to every corner of the lab for data. Even if I make a fuss, they won’t be able to come to support for up to 30 to 40 seconds.’
Holy day when the situation was completed. He casually looks at Leah, and begins talking to her to divert her attention away from the doctor.
“Hey.”
“Yes?”
“…Is the development of psychic powers so important? If that’s necessary, wouldn’t it just be enough to make a child with existing psychic people? In that case, children with psychic powers will be born with a high probability?”
“Sounds like a fool… Most of the children born that way are born with degenerated intelligence! That way, the 『Ultimate Human』 We hoped for can’t be born… Huh!?”
‘It’s a gap!’
While Lia is arguing, Seong-il takes advantage of the gap and rushes at Lia with terrifying momentum. Frightened, she raises her gun and tries to fire at Seong-il, but Seong-il, already possessing physical abilities beyond human limits, moves at formidable speed, evading her aim so that she can’t react, and lands on her abdomen. Insert the palm of her hand
“Chehehe…!!”
“You’re not going to kill me because I have something to ask you?”
Seong-il laughs casually and says bloody things. Lia glared at him with a shocked expression.
“Take it.”
“…!!”
“You know how to handle a gun, right?”
“That… It is.”
“Take care of this while I deal with the rest.”
“…I see.”
It was a short time, but Lee Chae’s eyes come to mind when Dr. Lowe sees Seongil’s terrifying physical abilities right in front of him.
Originally, he should have told Seong-il to run away with Lia as a hostage, but Seong-il’s words that he would confidently subdue the enemy by himself unknowingly overwhelmed him and nodded.
“Please stay in the corner.”
After those words, Seong-il raises a shadow, wraps it around himself, and secretly charges at the enemies.
“!!”
And Dr. Lowe, who saw this, looked at Seong-il with a shocked expression and muttered.
“Eh… Nonsense! A person with intelligence? A revenge?!”
Seong-il rushes at the enemies leaving behind such a doctor. As he rushes at the enemy, he examines the enemy’s abilities with 『Influence』.
‘…The guy on the left is a psychic. The one on the right is an armed civilian.’
Seong-il, who grasped the power of the enemy in a split second, rushes to the psychic who is more threatening to him, breaks the stealth, and attempts a surprise attack.
Awesome!!
“What… What?!”
A member of the Hyper Team is bewildered when he suddenly appears behind him and subdues his partner who was carrying things by punching him in the abdomen. Seong-il smiles at him, then slaps him in the face with his elbow.
Quaang!!
“Oh… Did you hit it too hard?”
Seong-il’s body became like a monster through continuous martial arts training. Although he struck lightly considering that the members of the Hyper Team were ordinary humans, the Hyper Team members received a terrifying shock and flew far away, crashing into a wall.
“…I guess I’ve gotten stronger.”
“What!!”
Surprised by his power, Seong-il hesitates for a while, and the two remaining members hear the commotion inside and start to attack the place where Seong-il is.
“…!!”
“…You bastard!!”
The man called Peron by Lia earlier sees Seong-il, who went on a rampage, and shouts at him with an enraged expression.
“Number 9! Enhanced telekinesis!!”
‘…Fuck!! Did he have to be a psychokinesis-enhancing powerhouse?!’
Seong-il freaks out when an enemy psychic uses an ability that is incompatible with his own. He quickly pretends to charge at the enemy, and throws a ball hanging from his waist to the floor to summon Red.
“Red! Come out!!”
“Kuu…!!”
While trying to focus the attack on Seong-il through partner No. 9, Seong-il calls his partner, Red, and Peron looks puzzled.
Seong-il orders Red to attack while he is flustered.
“Red! Flames at the yellow-haired guy!”
“Huh!!”
It might be embarrassing to see the sudden battle situation as soon as it pops out of the ball, but Red launches a straight line of fire attacks without hesitation at Sungil’s command.
“Rain… Damn you!!”
While concentrating all of his powers on Seong-il, Peron is perplexed when Red suddenly jumps out and attempts a flame attack.
“…This is how it happened!!”
With a mad expression, he takes out a throwing knife from his pocket, aims it at Red, and attempts to throw it.
‘This bastard?’
Seong-il, enraged by the sight, focuses on the shadow and stretches out his hand to blow the shadow at Red.
Ting!!
Surprisingly, the black shadow covered Red, and Red, covered by the shadow, stood still without any damage from the flying knife.
“What… What is it?”
“What is this bastard? It’s a superpower.”
Seong-il rushes at Peron, who is embarrassed, and casts the bankruptcy priesthood. And at his wild beast-like rush, Peron screams in fright.
“Oh… Don’t come!! You freak!!”
“…Look at what he’s talking about?”
Seong-il is annoyed at Peron who swears at him. He doesn’t do a palm strike like he did with Lia, but rather clench his fist and slam his fist into the bastard’s torso.
Enemy!!
“Coop…!!”
There is a terrible sound, like a car hitting a person, and Peron’s forearm and shoulder are smashed to pieces.
“Keah!!”
And another terrible sound coming from the side. The wild psychic called No. 9 was directly hit by Red’s flamethrower, and was rolling over in a corner of the wall in pain.
“…Red stop.”
“Huh!!”
Unlike Hyper Dan, Seong-il had no malice toward the captured psychic called No. 9. He immediately stopped the attack on Red, and after hearing his order, Red stopped the attack on the spot. Then the flames extinguished in an instant.
‘…Wow, do the abilities of psychics in the world of Pocket Girls ignore the laws of physics…?”
Admiring Red’s ability to control flames in an instant, he approached to arrest the Hyper team. Someone starts talking to them from behind the holy day.
“To there!!”
“…!?”
Then, absurdly, Lia subdues the doctor and points a gun at his face. Seong-il was so absurd that he glared at the doctor without realizing it.
“Mi… I’m sorry.”
Sensing Sungil’s reproachful gaze, the doctor apologized with his face blushing. Seong-il, who gave up on replying to his appearance, continued talking while looking at Red.
“Haa… Red! Shield with telekinesis!”
“Huh!!”
Red instantly wraps himself and Seongil in a translucent protective film. Seeing that, Lia laughs bitterly and brings up the words of negotiations with Seong-il.
“Let us go…! Or we’ll hurt you!”
“…I guess.”
“To…?”
As Lia reacts to her threat as if Seongil is not at all concerned, she glares at him with a bewildered expression. To her, Seong-il lightly snorts at her and then begins to answer her.
“Am I an idiot? Treat me like a hostage in this situation.”
“Um…But before…”
“That’s right, there were a lot of hostages who collapsed in the gas earlier, and it was because I would die if I refused. Now I’m sorry to the doctor, but if I give up, I can live and protect the knowledge of our shelter. Will I listen to that?”
“Oh…”
“…Are you stupid?”
Seong-il is taken aback by the other person’s naive reaction. Lia flinched, then sighed and continued her words.
“Gee… I’m really going to shoot! Really!!”
“Then you’ll be eaten by me at that moment. Red will bake you alive and crispy.”
“Everything… Your psychic uses telekinesis to create a shield! W… You know that telekinesis isn’t infinite, right?”
‘…Don’t you think I’ll give up the hostage before then and beat you up or burn you?’
Admiring her opponent’s dumb judgment, Seong-il sighs lightly, then takes a piece of steel from the corner of the lab, making her shadow look like an outstretched arm.
Jijik!!
“…!!”
When Seong-il breaks the iron plate by using his powerful body strengthening ability, not enough to bring things with his first psychic power, Lia looks at him with her eyes wide open.
“Did you see it? I have a shadow ability that can ambush you and a physical strengthening ability. If you sneak up on me, I’ll die?”
“Everything… What the hell are you?!”
“…What?”
“What?! Just being a psychic with intelligence is amazing…!! That rare multi-talented person…?!”
“Uh… So what?”
“What can I say!! You are the ultimate form of humanity that we, Hyperdan, pursue!!”
“Uh…?”
“Oh… The reason we are stealing data from this genetic facility in the first place is to create a human with superior psychic powers like you! Equipped with intellect! Even special psychic powers based on telekinesis!! That is the ultimate goal we are aiming for. Human form!!”
“…However?”
“…Don’t you want to join our Hyper team?! If you join our team!! I’m sure you’ll be able to get a very high position in our team and live with a sense of pride!!”
“Crazy…”
“Why!! We can do anything you want! Wealth? Fame power? Women? We can even provide you with live toys if you need them?!”
Seong-il feels goosebumps at Lia’s words, which seem a bit insane. In the meantime, Dr. Lowe, who was quietly held by her, urgently starts to stop him.
“That will never happen”
“…?”
Seong-il looks at Dr. Lowe with a puzzled expression, who has been quietly shutting his mouth and suddenly yells at Dr. Low. The doctor urgently starts talking to Seong-il.
“You must never trust this woman! If she joins the hyper group, you will most likely become a terrible experiment and live a miserable life!! Never accept this flattery!!”
“Hmm…”
Dr. Lowe’s words certainly make sense. When Seong-il seems persuaded by his words, Lia grits her teeth and starts threatening him by thrusting a gun into his face.
“Shut up! You’re like this goddamn old man! If you get in the way, I’ll kill you?!”
Lia spoke harshly, glaring at him as if he would tear him alive. Her holy day starts her answer to her to stop her like that.
“Are you really going to kill me if you do that?”
“…Hehe, I’m sorry! Anyway! Why don’t you join our Hyper Team? We are loyal to the same ‘people’, right?”
‘Actually, it’s a game where the main character can eventually become the boss if he joins the hyper team depending on the branch…’
‘The problem is that the route is too inhumane. In addition, as the doctor said, Hyper Corps, who coveted my ability, might play tricks on me.’
In the end, Seong-il decides to reject Lia’s words and gathers her skills to subdue her.
“Now… Wait!!”
“…?”
“Ji… Now I… Are you rejecting my offer and trying to attack me!?”
“…”
Seong-il admires Lia’s notice of reading Seong-il’s intentions like a ghost, even though he has no ability. Seeing his expression, she must have realized that she was right, so she began to persuade him with an angry expression.
“Ho… Is your name by any chance?”
“Han Seong-il.”
“Yes! Seong-il! If!! If you save us and listen to our one condition, we will leave this place without doing anything!!”
“…How can you believe that?”
“Sungil-nim’s ability is like the dream of our Hyper team, but if I can build a good relationship with Seongil-nim with just this, I can keep my promise! Trust me!”
“…So, what are the conditions?”
“Ah! Can you share Seongil’s superior seed with me?”
“…?!?!”
