Chapter 496 – 496. Trap 2
“Huh!”
A pitman with a gap between his chest and shoulders groans.
Ah. It was a surprise. Still, I don’t think I woke up. I was just moaning in pain.
First, I bought a potion and poured it into his wound.
You’re going to kill him anyway, but you can’t wake up or die until his memories are all read. So, let’s invest this much.
It’s worth as much as a recovery potion. Be grateful. Child.
It is not a huge recovery such as filling up a hole in a wound.
Perhaps you need to use body recovery skills to make that possible?
Still, the guy’s expression seems to be at ease, as if it has reduced the pain a lot. Of course, the frowning eyebrows are still the same.
I don’t have time for this anyway. Let’s read the memories quickly.
You don’t need to know much information about him. What I want to know is their company. The guy’s colleague. Their skills. Number. Location. Things like that.
Read everything thoroughly. Quickly before he wakes up or dies.
I’ve gotten used to memory reading now and have a knack for it. There is no need to watch it slowly and watch it again to remember and understand everything.
Just write it down and go through it quickly.
You can think about what it means later.
Pitman, who has read everything. Now, I don’t care if this guy dies.
What… I’m sure I’ll read more later… You may regret it, but it can’t be helped. No matter how many times I read my memories, I will always regret that.
Pick up the machete and aim at the guy’s neck.
A treasure chest in front of you. At least it won’t be shabby, right?
He held the machete backwards, put his weight on it, and cut his neck.
The feel of the cervical spine on the tip of a knife. It feels like it’s breaking. And the light explodes.
[9,427,481 coins obtained.]
9.42 million. Nice. It’s so cool.
The amount of coins feels a bit small compared to the number of skills. Unfortunately.
But that’s because I have a high level of awareness. In fact, it’s a huge amount.
That’s because they killed a huge number of people.
The scene of murder and massacre seen from his memory.
Even though I thought I was doing quite a bit of shit, there were many things that made me frown.
A bastard like a human weapon who has been slaughtering everything in sight ever since the world was destroyed.
I would never have thought that I would be treated so vainly by a woman with no ability.
Okay. That’s the key to catching this guy. Let your guard down.
My favorite word. The method that I always think is the best attack.
To catch the opponent off guard. Poking at the gap in the gap.
It seems like a simple task, but I used several tricks.
I thoroughly made Olga pretend to be fascinated. Of course, I actually put a charm on it.
That’s why when he used Nullify, Olga was able to act realistically as she was released from her fascination.
No, since I actually walked, it is correct to say that it is not an act, but a real feeling.
So that guy was fooled too.
Moreover, he probably never thought that Olga would learn attack skills and attack him.
Because there is no reason for that. But he’s still a guy who doesn’t let down his guard, so he used a trick like that.
Let’s make a little gap.
Choosing an opponent is also important. The cheapest skill. And the most obvious skill.
I didn’t even think about target selection skills and projectile skills in the first place.
It’s blocked by reflection and shield, right? However, it is completely impossible to have Olga learn to nullify area skills.
It’s possible, but it takes too long.
In that case, it would have been better to induce Pitman to use Nullification.
If you use the area skill nullification in a narrow room like this, all the buffs will be lost, even if only for a moment.
However, it is better to have an opponent who is just a shield and is lazy and just pierces through it than to take advantage of such a difficult gap.
There is also Lightning Fist and Thunder Kick, but I excluded them because I thought they might not be as effective if you are using damage reduction.
Anyway, it was a great success. Considering the amount of effort and effort it took to catch a guy with 14 skills, it’s almost nothing.
I literally caught it for nothing. The price was Ivanovic and 9.42 million coins. And the bodyguards who haven’t been killed yet.
I’m finishing off the bodyguards. When I saw them before, each one of them had about 1 million won.
How big are these guys?
Seven bodyguards. Handle it right away. That’s how I got 8 million coins. Hey. I’m happy. I’m really happy.
After all, Russia is rich in natural resources. You give generously. Thank you guys.
Ruler. Now the cumbersome stuff has been removed.
Turn the detector to check the surrounding situation one more time. Hmm. It’s still okay. Still, let’s hurry.
Now all that’s left is to read Ivanovic’s memories.
Under. It was hard. Igor I never thought it would be this hard to find that damn bastard’s current location.
Anyway, this is pretty good. It can’t be that easy to find a single person in this vast land.
Start reading Ivanovic’s memories. The keyword is Igor Tmitrenko.
There are quite a few memories. Nice. Good. Like it. Start reading from your most recent memory.
It doesn’t really matter what happened with Ivanovich before with Igor, does it? All I need to know is Igor’s current location.
Besides, I don’t have much time. There isn’t that much time. Must be read quickly. Quickly remember only the things you need.
I don’t plan on killing it anyway, so you can come back and read the parts you need later. There are advantages to keeping it alive.
I read the memories like that and eventually found the memory I wanted. His current location.
“Fuck. Vladivostok?”
A very familiar place name. A place that even people who don’t know much about Russia have probably heard of.
A city where many people find it difficult to name the exact place. Vladivostok or Vladivostok.
Russia’s floating port. A city facing the East Sea. Right in front of Korea. A sacred place for bundle traders.
No. Not right in front of you. Because the distance is quite long.
Anyway, it’s ridiculous. It was closer than I thought.
Continue reading the memories. Along with Igor Tmitrenko, I also read his memories of Vladivostok.
Even though I only read my memory quickly, I found out quite a lot.
Is it because I gained so much knowledge that my head exploded? I feel full.
Ruler. Now it’s time to manipulate memory.
Olga, who did her job well, and Ivanovich, who provided a lot of information.
Moreover, he is a high-ranking politician who will be able to get help in the future.
We have no choice but to put effort into manipulating memory. But he can’t spend much time. You have to hurry.
Let’s start with Olga’s memories. After stabbing Pitman earlier, I manipulated my memory to make it seem like I fainted from being hit by him.
Operation without much difficulty.
And now it’s Ivanovic’s turn.
After thinking about it for a moment, I followed Olga’s memories of the big picture.
Create memories so that you can say, ‘I heard a lot of stories from my daughter.’
Be favorable towards me. So that you can look at it positively.
Not with any suspicions or intentions, but as a truly dedicated person who gave his whole being for Ivanovich and Olga.
It should work out. First, it doesn’t really matter. If you start to doubt, you can provide after-sales service later.
Since it’s alive, you can do whatever you want. Ruler. Now… How is it?
“There’s no one!?”
Shout out loud like that a few times. And after using the annulment, Ivanovic is put to sleep again.
“Ugh…”
“Olga!? Are you okay!?”
“Dmitri… Ugh. I…”
“Are you okay!? I just fainted! There’s nothing serious! Is there anything bad?”
“No… Ah. That man!?”
“He’s dead! No. I killed him. The remaining bodyguards too. But your father…”
Olga suddenly comes to her senses when she hears her father’s voice. Then she hurriedly approaches Ivanovich.
Just then the door opened, and the employees came in. People are surprised to see Ivanovic lying down and us holding him.
I quickly used invalidation. I wonder if any of the users have any buffs? First, I turned the angle as much as possible… It won’t get caught.
If you get caught, you can just remember to read it later.
“Ugh.”
Ivanovic wakes up and wakes up. And the situation after that was quite hectic.
Noisy users. Ivanovich came to his senses. Olga’s worries. Buzz, buzz, buzz.
Eventually, after a while, things got quiet when Ivanovich made everyone leave, leaving only Olga and me.
Is it because of memory manipulation? A middle-aged man lightly resting his head.
But I don’t think it was a failure. Maybe I’m just confused.
I didn’t say much, but Olga took it upon herself to talk eagerly about Pitman and the bodyguards’ plans.
Because I inserted a lot of questionable information through memory manipulation, he believes what his daughter says.
“Did you say Dmitri?”
“Yes, Senator.”
Is it correct to call you congressman? Eww. This detail is a bit lacking.
“You saved me and my daughter.”
What drama is this? It’s hilarious to hear it in person. I wonder if they really say it that way.
“No, it’s all her daughter’s credit. I just helped her.”
The way Ivanovic looks at me is like looking at a trustworthy subordinate.
Ah. It’s burdensome. Did I manipulate it too much? If this had been a little excessive, I would have looked at it like I was looking at my son-in-law.
“Is what Olga said true?”
“I know that. The Smelly Corporation that the congressman entrusted with security… I know their true identity.”
“I know they are rough guys, but I use them because they are skilled. You look like you have a grudge against them, don’t you?”
“So… Is it obvious? Am I being sloppy? Or is the congressman’s insight sharp?”
Ivanovich chuckles at my words.
“Your eyes are filled with revenge. Besides, I’ve heard a lot about you from Olga. She always gets curious whenever her only daughter, Lai Ai, talks about men.”
“If you are Miss Olga’s father, you have reason to worry.”
I can see Ivanovic’s expression becoming happy as I subtly flatter him.
Anyway, I was relieved that the atmosphere went as planned. But you must not let your guard down.
Some idiot just let his guard down and went to the goal, right?
The key is to conclude this situation well and handle the follow-up reliably.
“Smelly Corporation. What’s their problem?”
“They… Have crossed a line. They no longer work based on loyalty alone. If you let dogs out in the wild too much, their unwanted wild nature will come back to life. They… Seem to have tasted too much meat. Ordinary meat is not enough. They became dissatisfied people.”
“That was a worry I had from the beginning. That’s why I was prepared for it.”
“It will be difficult to control them with just a hostage. Do you think they will not be able to save the hostage?”
“You know them well? And what else?”
Ivanovic changed from the expression of a father with a daughter to the cold eyes of a powerful man.
I guess I got that seat by flipping a coin. There is definitely a sense of intimidation.
I guess skill is everything to a person.
The problem is that the skill can ignore everything.
“It is right that the final judgment is made by the congressman who has a big vision. A student like me who is blinded by revenge is bound to have a narrow perspective.”
After hearing what I said, Ivanovich closed his mouth for a moment and looked at me.
I didn’t tend to put a lot of negative memories about the bodyguards in his memory, so I’ll take care of it without saying anything more.
Even the same act is evaluated differently when it is done with good will and when it is done with malicious intent.
Now, no matter what Smelly Corporation does, he will have no choice but to view it with suspicion.
And even if it’s not a big deal, everything will be annoying and bother you.
Moreover, Smelly Corporation’s instructors and bodyguards have already committed many crimes.
If you look around, there is no way there are no mistakes or negligence.
So in the end, even if you leave it alone, it will cut it off on its own. There is no need for me to worry about that.
If necessary later, you can manipulate the memory a few more times.
“Anyway… I have been greatly blessed. I don’t know how to thank you. Furthermore, I don’t even know how to repay you.”
“No. I have received enough reward from the fact that you and Miss Olga are safe.”
Ivanovich looks at me with satisfaction, as if he was satisfied with my answer.
In the author’s eyes, I must be thought of as an extremely loyal and admirable young man of this era.
It’s funny even when I think about it.
“Not that kind of thing. Something I can actually do for you. I could help you with revenge or something like that, right?”
“Then… I have a request to make. Do you mind?”
“Tell me. Are you sure they won’t listen to what you’re saying?”
Olga smiles brightly at Ivanovich’s words.
Looking at the father and daughter like that, I laughed on the inside, but on the outside I spoke with a somewhat serious expression.
“If it’s okay with you, can I visit you often and say hello?”
It can be understood in various ways depending on how you interpret it.
It may be an ambitious statement to visit and often visit.
Or it could mean that he is interested in Olga.
It may mean asking for help in taking revenge by making a permanent mark.
Anyway, I think he liked these words.
I don’t know if he liked it because he looked good because of the memory manipulation, or because he seemed ambitious, but he seemed satisfied.
“Of course. The Makarov family welcomes you anytime.”
Isn’t this great? Well, now we have to finish it quickly.
“And… I have one more favor to ask.”
Ivanovich’s curious eyes.
“Tell me.”
“There is a woman named Camilla. She is the woman whom the congressman himself kicked to the curb not long ago.”
Ivanovich frowns slightly as if thinking of something.
And Olga also reacts with shock when the woman’s name suddenly appears.
“She… Is the younger sister of a colleague who was killed while taking revenge with me. I don’t even know that she did that… But anyway, could you please take care of her a little? I feel like I should help her even if it’s because of my friend. That’s true, but I can’t afford it right now.”
Ivanovic’s expression seemed to grow more puzzled upon hearing my words.
“That woman… Isn’t she the woman who killed Maxim?”
“I guess I can explain it to you slowly. One thing is certain: Maxim was also connected to the Smelly Corporation and had a disrespectful mind. And I killed him.”
Okay. Because of this, memory manipulation took longer.
There is no need for me to be loyal to Camilla, but it is true that she has her own merits.
When Ivanovich heard what I said, his expression became serious.
In any case, he wasn’t just looking at Maxim kindly. I know that part because I read it from memory.
There may be some awkward parts, but you can just manipulate them over time.
You can’t fill up after the first drink, right? Anyway, I’ve done enough. All that’s left is to take time.
“Okay. You are a really… Interesting friend.”
After a few more words, I was able to leave his house.
Ivanovic looks satisfied. Olga looks at me wistfully.
This is successful.
You may not have to come here any more anyway, but it’s not a bad idea to leave room for this to happen.
