Ruler of the Game 248

Chapter 248 – Pocket Girls

“Dr. Low says he will definitely make time for you tomorrow morning! Let’s go to his lab by tomorrow morning!”

“Ah!! Thank you!!!”

Seong-il expresses his sincere gratitude when Dr. Woo readily agrees to help with his request.

‘Okay… I’ll have to get the procedure done tomorrow and get ready to steal the information.’

Thinking so, Seong-il recalls the structure of the underground laboratory she saw the day before and takes out several jewels from her arms.

‘As expected, the best way is to have an alter ego take over after receiving the procedure and send it outside, and I’ll have to steal the data by hiding in the lab.’

‘And if you go through the game anyway, you don’t have to feel any remorse since the hyper group acquires the data from the second research facility you stumbled upon by chance.’

Another late-game augmentation laboratory that only comes out verbally. The facility is exclusively occupied by the Hyper group because the Shelter forces have not been able to locate it.

So, from around the time I cleared 4 gyms, the hyper dan who received strengthening treatment often appeared.

Therefore, Seong-il, thinking that the information he leaked would not be a big problem, started to establish a plan step by step, recalling the place that existed inside the game.

Seong-il made a plan about how to steal the data. He hits his head with an idea and goes back to the lab.

“Hi?”

“Oh?! Didn’t Seongil-nim die?”

“…Because I forgot something. Also, there may be people listening, but if you can, please call me by name…”

“Ah… I see! Seongil-kun!”

“…Could you get me some storage for work tomorrow?”

“Oh, that one? I see what you mean.”

Whether or not she became an executive of the Hyper Team by luck, Patricia perfectly understands his request despite Seong-il’s short words.

“Sure! See you tomorrow.”

“Yep! Are you coming tomorrow too?”

“Yeah. I’m going to see Dr. Lowe.”

“Ohh…”

“Anyway, see you tomorrow. Then really, goodbye.”

Patricia lightly admires Seongil’s power of action. Seong-il doesn’t want to get caught up in her unnecessarily long conversation, so he quickly ends the conversation and goes back to her dorm.

Next day.

“Here, here.”

“How do you use it?”

Seong-il stopped by the research lab and stopped by Patricia’s lab. Upon his appearance, Patricia handed Seong-il an item she had prepared quickly.

“It’s easy. Just plug the terminal into the main computer, and the machine’s program automatically copies the internal data, right?”

“…Couldn’t it be that you’re damaging the original data? Putting hacked data in?”

“Ah! No way! If we do such a thing and if there is a problem with Seongil-gun, our loss will be enormous! Don’t worry. And the underground lab is separated from the outside communication network, so hacking doesn’t work either.”

“Okay. Thank you.”

“…But is it possible? There are no guards in the lab to prevent data leakage, but instead, there is only one exit, and when you return, you must meet a guard…”

“Oh, don’t worry about that. You can escape perfectly.”

“Huh… If that’s the case…”

Patricia looks at Seong-il with a slightly strange expression. Seong-il ignores her, leaves her lab and moves to Dr. Lowe’s office.

“Doctor! Hello!!”

“Ohhh! Seongil-kun, are you here?”

“Yes! You must have been busy dealing with the aftermath of the terrorism. Sorry to disturb you.”

“Haha! No way! Can’t we keep holding you who have to leave for the next shelter for your mission! Plus, it’s for you who did a great job for the shelter, and it’s only for half a day!”

“Hehe… Thank you.”

Seong-il smiles at Dr. Lowe’s cool attitude and walks behind him.

Maybe it’s because I saw it once, the way to the underground laboratory that was quite familiar. The two of them walked while chatting lightly before moving to the underground laboratory.

The appearance of researchers studying something hard there. When Dr. Lowe and Seong-il appear, a male researcher stops working and talks to the doctor.

“Ah! Doctor, are you here!”

“Junho! Good morning.”

“That’s what the friend next to you said yesterday…?”

“Yes. It’s Seongil-gun. He’s going to have surgery today.”

“Hehe… I’m young, are you okay? I don’t know what problems might arise…”

“Ha, I also warned Seongil-gun enough about that part. But, since he strongly wants it, what can he do?”

“Okay…”

Researcher Jun-ho looks at Seong-il lightly after speaking. He looks at Seongil quietly, perhaps not at ease.

Seong-il smiles lightly at his thoughtful attitude, then responds in a soft voice as if soothing him.

“Don’t worry! It’s my choice! As you may have heard, I’ve already undergone body enhancement procedures and my body is superhuman, so there won’t be any big problems!”

“…Yes. I hope for good results.”

At his words, Seong-il nodded lightly instead of answering, and moved to the test site.

‘Oh… That’s…’

The appearance of a fairly gigantic glass cylinder. And in front of it, a fairly gigantic mechanical device was filling the surroundings.

“Now, Seongil-kun, drink this.”

“…This?”

“It’s a special drug. The liquid will protect your organs from the special wavelength the device produces.”

“Ah… Yes.”

At Dr. Lowe’s explanation, Seong-il calmly drinks the potion he gives him.

“Wow…!!”

“Ha ha! It tastes a little… Right?”

“Yeah… It feels like eating some kind of oil.”

“…Have you ever eaten oil?”

“…”

After exchanging nonsense with the doctor, Seong-il moves to the experimental device under the guidance of a researcher named Jun-ho.

“…If! If you feel like your body can’t stand it even a little bit, be sure to tell me. Do you understand?”

“Yes! Of course!”

At the serious request of the doctor and researcher, Seong-il feels a little bit nervous and gives a sincere answer.

“Then… Let’s begin.”

“Yes!”

After talking to Seong-il, Dr. Lowe gives instructions to the researchers with a serious expression. Not long after he gave the order, intense energy began to fill the cylindrical glass with the holy day.

‘Keukheop…!!’

Seong-il holds his breath strongly and begins to endure the pain as the tremendously strong energy seems to stir his entire body.

“Hold on a little! Just a little bit!! If you lose your mind in pain, the experiment could fail and your life could be in danger!”

Dr. Lowe’s terrifying warning Seong-il feels alert. He grits his teeth and desperately endures the pain.

‘Damn…!’

How long has it been? Seong-Il desperately clings to his spirit, sweating profusely from the merciless pain. At that time, he endured a fleeting time that seemed like eternity. He feels a strange power flowing through his body.

‘Uh…? What?’

Bodily strength. But rather than the strength of his muscles, it felt like something strange was filling his body.

‘…Is this telekinesis?’

Seong-il begins to be filled with joy at the appearance of a strange power that fills his body. The joy was enough to make Seongil forget even the momentary pain.

“It’s almost over!!”

And when it wasn’t long before I felt that power. Dr. Lowe constantly talks about the end of the experiment as if encouraging Seongil.

“Ancient…!”

Seong-il gritted his teeth at his words and desperately held on to his spirit. Fortunately, soon after, the strange power filled in the glass cylinder begins to disappear.

“It’s over! Junho-kun! Open the door right away!”

“Yes! Doctor!”

At the doctor’s words, the researcher hurriedly opened the glass wall and approached Seong-il. Seong-il seems to be relaxed and falls to the floor as soon as he approaches.

“You can’t lose your mind! The side effects might be worse!”

“Great… Yes…”

Seong-il moves to a chair in the center of the laboratory with the help of a researcher.

“How is it? Are you okay?”

“Well…”

“Um… How’s your condition?”

“It’s a bit dizzy. Ah! But earlier, it seemed like a strange power was overflowing in my body.”

“Ah, that must be telekinesis. Most of the test subjects said they felt the same way as you.”

“Oh…! Then I can use the ability right away?”

“Well…? Everyone’s adaptation period is different… I can only say that it depends on your ability and effort. Take this.”

“…This?”

“It’s a manual. It’s a collection of experiences experienced by previous test subjects. Adapt to it while reading this.”

“Oh oh…!!”

At Dr. Lowe’s consideration, Seong-il smiles and accepts his manual.

At that time.

“Oops!?”

“…Why but?”

“Oops… Tue… Bathroom…!!”

“Junho-kun! Take Seongil-gun!”

“Yes!”

Seong-il desperately endures the feeling of vomiting and moves to the bathroom with the help of the researcher.

“Wow…!!”

As soon as he gets to the bathroom, Seong-il immediately sticks his head into the toilet bowl and vomits. At the same time, Seong-il feels a strange power running out of control inside his body.

“Keuheuk…!!”

At the same time, Seong-il exudes strength like crazy. As the energy spurted out, objects inside the bathroom started flying at random, and Seong-il, unable to control the force, urgently shouted at the researcher.

“Wait!! Please leave! I can’t control my strength…!!”

“Hee!!”

Frightened by Seong-il’s cry, the researcher goes out of the bathroom. When he leaves, Seong-il begins to run wild, emitting uncontrollable power inside his body to the outside.

“Turn it off!!”

As the power inside him runs around his entire body, his body begins to engulf in pain. When the pain is not serious, Seong-il, embarrassed, thinks about the problem with tension.

‘B… Damn it! I have to radiate this power to the outside…!’

However, Seong-il did not know about telekinesis yet. At that time, Seong-Il’s mind momentarily recalls a sparring with Choi Hyeon-Woo.

‘Choi Hyun-woo then stretched out his hand like this…’

Seong-il instinctively takes the same posture as Choi Hyun-woo did in the past and then concentrates. Then, strong intangible energy begins to project from Seong-il’s hand.

Quaang!! Kwaaaaang!!

And the objects inside fly away because of the power emitted from the hand. Not long after the power in his body ran out of control, Seong-il felt that the power inside his body was stabilizing.

“Haha…”

Seong-il calms himself down with cold sweat dripping from his face. At that time, he feels a great pain rushing in with the feeling that the organs inside his body are twisted.

“Crazy…!!”

As well as the helplessness that accompanies it. Feeling as if his entire body is aging in an instant, Seong-il is frightened and takes out an elixir bottle from his bosom.

‘This… Is definitely a side effect! Is that a symptom of premature aging…!!’

Realizing that his situation is reaching its worst, he opens the bottle of elixir and hastily pours his potion into his mouth.

Then something refreshing passed down his throat. As the liquid goes down his throat, a strange energy begins to fill his entire body.

“Please please…!!”

A few days ago, Seong-il confidently promised that he would be able to solve the side effects with an elixir, but when the side effects came to reality, Seong-il suddenly felt scared.

Fortunately, however, when Seong-il takes the elixir, his pain subsides, and he feels that his vitality, which had been rapidly draining, returns to normal.

“Haha…”

Seong-il felt his body normalize in a short period of time. He realizes that he is not normalized, but that his condition is the best he has ever felt in his life.

“Wow… It kills the medicine…”

Realizing that his prediction was correct, Seong-il feels joy fill his body.

But, it’s only for a while to enjoy that feeling. Taking advantage of being alone here for a while, he quickly takes out a jewel from his pocket and starts wearing a mask.

“Are you okay?!”

In the meantime, a researcher calls him without notice. Perhaps, after the inside was quiet for a while, he seemed to ask him out of curiosity about the holy day.

“It’s getting better! But, I might run out of energy again, so could you stay there for a while?”

“Ah…!! Yes…!! If you think your health will get worse, be sure to call me!”

“Yes!!”

After such a short conversation, Seong-il utters a powerful spell while wearing a mask.

Then Seong-il’s alter ego appeared after a long time.

“Hey!”

“Huh!!”

“…What kind of Red are you?”

“No!”

Seong-il’s alter ego, whose conversational level looks exactly like Red. After sighing lightly, he tries to command his alter ego.

“…Well, you can read my thoughts, so you know what to do?

“Huh!!”

“…Do it well.”

After that, Seong-il quickly throws a piece of paper to the alter ego, then uses an invisibility ring to hide away from the scene.

“…Hey, are you okay?”

When Seong-il did not appear for a while, the researcher couldn’t hold back his curiosity and entered the bathroom. The alter ego hands him a piece of paper.

“Your body is fine. I feel sick to my stomach and feel like throwing up when I open my mouth. Can’t we go to the inn to rest right now?”

“Ah… I see. Come with me.”

As the alter ego moves to the lab, Seong-il secretly follows them in stealth. When they arrive at the lab, the doctor seems to be worried and runs towards him.

“Sungil-kun! Are you okay?!”

In response to the doctor’s question, Seong-il, who is secretly standing behind him in an invisible state, quickly grabs onto the mask and telepathically commands his alter ego to write.

“It’s okay! However, when I open my mouth, I get a little nauseous, so I think I should close my mouth and take a deep breath.”

“Hmm…”

When Seong-il writes on a note instead of an answer, Dr. Lowe lets out a long saliva. Seong-il, who has become desperate at his ambiguous attitude, quickly begins to issue additional orders.

“Really!! In the beginning, I felt a little lethargic, but as my strength returned, my body became normal again.”

“…Is that so? If that’s the case, I’m glad.”

“I want to rest for a while at the dorm. Can we talk about the rest tomorrow?”

At Seong-il’s words, Dr. Lowe nodded and agreed, and the alter ego began to move to the accommodation following the researcher’s guidance.

‘…Go to the dorm calmly! If someone asks a question, just show the note and don’t answer! Got it!’

After giving the order to the alter ego in his mind, Seong-il quickly hides in the corner of the building and casts 『Inner Plane』 To hide himself in the other world.
