Ruler of the Game 260

Chapter 260 – Pocket Girls

The time when Seong-il and Tae-seong were blushing and trying to argue. Grayish white smoke begins to spread on the floor.

“Big?!”

Full smoke in less than 10 seconds. The smoke not only gives a visual blocking effect like the smoke sprayed by Seong-il, but also starts to inflict very stimulating pain on the respiratory system.

‘I don’t think it’s poison… Is it a smoke screen mixed with some kind of tear gas effect?’

Seong-il’s body became invulnerable to half of the world through color ball training. Seong-il and all the people around him were overcome with pain by the tear gas effect so powerful that his body reacted, clutching their necks in agony.

‘It’s… It’s so spicy!!’

Fortunately, white smoke that does not feel any harmful effects, perhaps because it is specialized in pain and blockage of vision.

Seong-il grits his teeth, endures the pain, and examines his surroundings with 『Emotion』.

‘Hmm…? That baby … Are you thinking about throwing away the men? ‘

Seong-il sees the face of Director Ji-yeon through 『Emotion』 And confirms that the man who shouted and blushed at the face of Director Ji-yeon a while ago abandons his subordinates and runs somewhere.

‘I can’t let it go like that! Catch!’

When an executive from the Hyper Corps turns around and runs away, Seong-il quickly follows him. He uses 『Emotion』 As a guide and tries to quickly follow him.

Quaang!!

However, as soon as they enter the passageway used for escape, they use a bomb to knock down the wall.

“Keah!!”

As if the executive didn’t care about the life and death of his allies, as soon as the bomb exploded, the nearby Hyper Team’s henchmen screamed in pain.

‘Aren’t you crazy?!’

Seong-il is appalled at the executive’s actions. And soon after, the poisonous smoke screen disappears and the situation is sorted out.

“Keah!!”

Five or six henchmen of the Hyper corps were engulfed in the explosion and wounded. Their injuries must have been quite severe, and they fell to the floor, screaming incessantly.

“Sheesh… Like crazy people…”

And Ji-yeon, who saw the gruesome scene, frowned and muttered in a low voice.

“Hey! Your captain used you as bait to run away. Are you going to resist even like this!”

“…”

Having nothing to say at her words, the Hyperdans quietly looked at each other and then quietly laid down their weapons and surrendered.

‘Uh? You don’t have Taeseong?!’

Interestingly, he abandoned most of his subordinates, but was the only one who took Taeseong with him. Seong-il feels strange about his actions.

‘…Does Taeseong have something with him? Why did you escape with only him…? According to the circumstances, he must have been at most two or three days old…’

Then, in Seong-il’s head, it feels like his mother, the Harper group’s experimental subject, is involved.

‘Come to think of it… His mother was from Hyper Corps’ experimental slave, right?’

It’s been a long time since I entered the world of Pocket Girls, so I completely forgot about it. When Seong-il remembered that fact, he stroked his chin and connected his thoughts.

‘Hmm… Sooner or later, I’ll have to find out what these guys are up to. And they decided to make a deal and fuck me like this!?’

Seong-il, who agreed to form an alliance with himself temporarily, was furious that he caused such a commotion. He feels that he needs to make contact with Lia and have a strong argument.

“Oh!! Seongil-kun!! This older sister believed in you~”

“Ah…”

Ji-yeon approaches Seong-il, who was thinking so deeply, hugging and patting him. Seong-il answers her, enjoying the pleasant tenderness of her breasts.

“Go… Thank you…”

“Uh heh heh!! If it’s time tonight, come visit this sister. I’ll do something ‘good’ for you.”

“That… There are a lot of people around me listening to it…”

“Oh my~ Seongil is very shy? Uhuh… I get it~”

“…I’ll go and rest.”

Leaving Ji-yeon’s playful attitude behind, Seong-il uses fatigue as an excuse to go back to the dorm.

“Whoa… I’ll give you a reward sooner or later. Look forward to it.”

“…That sticky?”

“Puhaha!! Well, that’s one of the options. But, isn’t it a bit like rewarding the hero who saved our shelter with something like that, right? Of course, we should report it to the superiors and do something better. Expect it!”

“Hmm…”

Seong-il ponders for a while at Ji-yeon’s words, and then she tries to suggest her to her.

“If so…”

“…?”

“Can I ask for something else instead of compensation?”

“Hmm? Is there anything you want? No way… Through this older sister, to test your sexual orientation, which you haven’t normally tried!?”

“…”

At the words of her delay, her Seong-il looks at her blankly with a look of embarrassment on her face. As if his gaze was burdensome, she patted Seongil on the shoulder of her sweaty body and continued her words.

“Hey… Hey… That… But isn’t that reaction too embarrassing?!”

“…Anyone would do the same if they heard me say that. Anyway, my proposal is about the ‘acquaintance’ the director told me about earlier.”

“Hmm?”

“It’s not a big deal… Dr. Lowe said that one day I’d be able to meet an acquaintance if I made a lot of contributions.”

“…However?”

Jiyeon’s slightly suspicious expression. Seong-il sees her expression like that and tries her acting on her, directing her innocent child side.

“If you just passed it, you would have thought so… The saying that you can meet if you make the ball makes you curious!?

“Ahang~”

She seems to have realized the meaning of her holy day’s blurring of words. Seong-il quickly makes an excuse that he had been thinking about for that gesture.

“Because of that, can you tell me about him? A hint if that’s going to be a problem…”

“Puhaha!! Well… I was going to tell you a little bit earlier anyway…”

“Gulp…”

“…That guy is my brother.”

“!!”

Seong-il finally realizes why she knows so well about the white ball maker.

‘Somehow… He spoke as if he knew the creator very well…’

Ji-yeon, seeing Seong-il’s face, smiles and begins to repeat her words.

“What… You look like you know now?”

“Roughly. Somehow you seem to know me quite well…”

“Ohhhhh!! Do you have a lot of interest in my brother? Can you introduce me?”

“Yeah?! I… Really?!”

“Yes! There’s nothing difficult about it. Having that ball means that he’s a talented person who has been fairly recognized by the high-ranking members of the shelter, and he’s already been briefed on my brother. Is there anything I can’t do?”

“Wow…!”

“Whoa… If you like it, I like it too. Let’s see… My brother is probably coming to the shelter this weekend to see his parents.”

“Oh!! That… Then!!”

“Puhaha~!! Take a break here for a few days. I’ll put in a separate call.”

“Oh yeah!!”

“Oh and… This…”

“…?”

When she stopped talking and handed her something to herself, Seong-il took it from her and looked at her with a puzzled look on her face.

“Is this… A pass?”

“Yes. That’s right. Certificate of acceptance.”

“…Why this? I haven’t even won the match yet…?”

“What do you mean? The confrontation is to determine the ability of the tester, right? You not only solved the emergency situation in this shelter, but also showed the spirit of sacrifice in the meantime.”

“Hmm…”

“What kind of test is it to freeze to death for such a person? Isn’t it?”

“If you say so…”

Not only is she able to meet the white ball maker she’s been looking for, but she also gets a license without taking an exam, and she feels that her hard work is worth it.

‘However, it’s a pity that I couldn’t use the tactics I had planned with Luti to win the match.’

Promising to use that tactic at the next gym, Seong-il bids farewell to her Ji-yeon and moves to her lodging.

“Wheein!!”

After arriving at the dorm, Seong-il sat on the sofa to relieve fatigue. Someone calls his cell phone.

“Tomorrow noon. Coordinates near the shelter…』

‘Lia.’

A letter from Leah, who seems to have left the meeting place to herself for a deal about the Black Ball Lab. Seong-il sees the message and is lost in thought.

‘It would be nice if there was a laboratory I’m looking for at the treatment plant I’m going to see tomorrow.’

If he can secure even one more black ball, I think it will be of great help to Seong-il in clearing other games in the future.

‘Well… I’ll figure out the rest once I go.’

Seong-il, who has captured her thoughts, summons her red and plays happily with her before falling asleep.

Next day.

“Whoah… Is he still there?”

“Oh! I’m sorry, Seong-il!”

“…Are you here?”

“Yep! Have a nice day!”

“Hmm…”

“Uh… Why is that?”

Leah couldn’t understand Seong-il’s expression because Seong-il came quickly, but he wasn’t late. When she looks at Seong-il with her puzzled expression as if she doesn’t know anything, her Seong-il continues her words to her in a slightly annoyed voice.

“Ask because you don’t know? About yesterday’s Shelter Dam attack.”

“…Terrorism?”

“Yes. Terrorism. You guys tried bombing to break the dam this time. You don’t know how much trouble I suffered because of that!”

“…”

“Are you thinking of making a deal with me properly? To provoke such an important deal ahead of time…”

“Uh… This… That’s strange.”

“What?”

“Um… There was no terrorism plan at our headquarters…”

“Hmm…?”

“Ji… It’s real! If you plan a terror attack of that magnitude, there’s no way the order wouldn’t have come down to our branch…”

“…Isn’t that because you’re the lowest?”

“Well… I can do that, but it probably won’t?”

“Or not, what’s the point?”

Far from being annoyed at her holy day’s sarcastic remarks, she answers him with a kind smile.

“Hehe… When I don’t have any special duties, I’m also acting as Patricia-sama’s secretary! When orders come from above, they go through me quite often…”

“Hmm…”

Seongil understood why Leah could speak so confidently. He hears her words and continues her words to her with a look that doesn’t understand her further.

“…Then, what is this terror attack?”

“That… Well, let me ask Patricia!!”

“Yeah, I’d like you to find out. For the sake of ‘trust’.”

“Yes…”

“Even this terror included the guy who tried to kill me a few days ago…”

“Yeah?! Who… Who was that?!”

“Ah, it’s Taeseong…”

Seong-il started explaining about Tae-seong lightly. When Lia heard his name, her expression hardened and she muttered in a low voice.

“If it’s Taeseong… The test subject Zeon rescued…?”

“…Are you guessing?”

“No! No… It’s not…”

Lia muttered in a very low voice, but it was not difficult for Seongil, who was highly sensitive to 『Emotion』, To overhear that level of voice. Therefore, on her last day, she decided to remember the name Zeon that she muttered in her head.

‘It’s Xeon… I’ll have to meet with Patricia later to find out about him.’

After sorting out the situation, Lia and Seong-il started to move to the trading place.

“Here it is!”

“Ohhh… This is what you mean?”

“Yes!! Is this the treatment plant you mentioned?! Would you like to come and check it out with me?”

“Well… But it doesn’t matter, it’s troublesome to see us around.”

“Oh, is that so?”

“You guys… No, to be precise, you know that Patricia and I temporarily held hands?!”

“Old… By the way…?”

“…Then, don’t you think that we can cut off the hand we held at any time, so we shouldn’t get into unnecessary misunderstandings?”

“Ah…”

‘I’m a fool for expecting a lot from you.’

Seong-il suddenly came to mind that his opponent was not even an executive, but a regular member. He hides her pathetic expression as much as possible and quietly walks around to inspect her and her treatment plant.

Seong-il wears the prepared mask and looks around the outskirts as much as possible. He tries to substitute the map in the game he has memorized in his head and the peculiarities displayed on the map into the geography of this place.

‘That’s right…!! Are you sure!!’

Seong-il realized that the location of the research center he was looking for was definitely right. Desperately enduring the bubbling bliss, he speaks to Leah, who is by her side.

“Hmm… I think it fits roughly. Let’s go back.”

“Hey! Is that right?”

“Yes. Take this.”

“…This?”

“Okay. Check it out. But, a little further away from here.”

“Yeep!”

That’s how they move their bodies to an empty lot far away from the treatment plant.
Settling in an empty lot with no one around, they take out the prepared computer and start checking the recorded data.

“Ah… Ah!! G… It looks like the real thing!!”

“…Then the deal was established?”

“Of course!!”
