Chapter 523 – 523. LA 1
No matter how many times I think about it, I feel really fortunate that I watched SG City.
You got a vaccination, right? If I didn’t know about cases like SG City and came to America like this and saw people living this kind of life, I would have been really shocked.
This is possible!? I must have had a mental breakdown like this. Probably so.
Anyway, it’s a peaceful morning. At least in this city.
Cars going to work, students getting on the school bus to go to school, a garbage truck collecting trash, a middle-aged man coming out in the morning to mow the lawn.
Peaceful. Things that are natural to them.
To strangers, it will seem like there is no problem.
But not me. You’re not a stranger.
First, several questions arise. At least I think three things are strange.
First things first. Based on the memories of the residents here, the confusion they experienced was resolved very quickly.
Disturbance? Riot? There was no such thing.
Since the day that message came out, the only official damage was damage caused by accidents caused by the disappearance of the elderly.
Of course, there were minor troubles, but those were things that existed before the world collapsed, so I made an exception…
Anyway, they didn’t have any problems. However… Why are there those empty houses?
Number of empty houses. Not a lot. Some parts are empty, but if you think of it as a total, it seems to be about one-third to one-fourth.
Why did it disappear? There is no reason for it to disappear.
And the funny thing is, they don’t question it.
Of course there must be a reason. It was a job that I could no longer maintain, or I abandoned my place of residence and moved to another place.
Since I have more than one house, I went to a better place to live… There must be a reason for everything.
But it’s strange that there are so many. I don’t know if it’s just me who thinks it’s strange.
And second. Population ratio.
The United States is a country where various cultures and races mix.
It’s not just white people, right? Asians, Chinese, leaderns, Hispanics, blacks, South Americans…
A racial exhibition hall where a huge number of people live together.
But most of the people here are white. Strangely enough, there are only white people. There are no other races at all.
Is this a wealthy village? I thought so, but that’s not true either. It can’t really be called a wealthy village.
Of course, the houses are neat and tidy, but that doesn’t mean it’s luxurious.
Just like a typical American family. Of course, my knowledge is based on dramas and movies.
Anyway, if you combine the first and second… The result is quite scary.
Ethnic cleansing? That was the first thing that came to my mind.
A conflict broke out and one side completely pushed out the other? Of course, then the result will be the same as now.
A neighborhood with moderately empty houses and only white people. Anyone could think that way.
But they have no such memories.
I have no memories of hunting down or driving out people of other races or colors.
Of course, I may not have read the memory thoroughly. You may have used the keyword incorrectly.
But at least from what I remember, there was no such violent incident.
If that’s the case, then at least it’s not what they did. So is it ultimately the government? Or not… Superheroes?
You have to be open to a lot of possibilities. Because their coin suppliers may have been people like that.
But the problem is, there is no reason for that. Moreover, it makes no sense that there is no resistance.
I’ll have to read my memory a little more for this. Anyway, about that…
Third. There is a villain.
Of course, if there are superheroes, there are also villains. Yes, that’s why superheroes exist.
But that’s only natural in comics. Villain in real life? It shouldn’t exist. He should have been killed already.
The reason why villains exist in comics is that they are also characters.
Because it is an attractive product and a device that makes the hero stand out.
But what about reality? It’s a useless piece of waste, isn’t it?
They are like waste, the more they are left around, the more damage they cause and the more violence they spread.
You can’t catch a hero because he or she doesn’t have the ability? Nonsense. It’s not like I’m joking.
Any ability you have anyway is a skill.
The number may be a little more, but that doesn’t mean you can’t catch it.
If you put together a combination and push it in, the villain won’t be able to withstand it. Because reality is not a comic.
There’s absolutely no reason for America to keep these cancerous lumps alive that don’t even pay taxes, right?
At least that’s what I think.
So the first thing I have to meet are those villains.
The identity of these guys… I can roughly guess. The reason the villain is still alive is obvious.
If those guys are actors, it’s possible. Actors who receive government support.
These guys can openly commit villainous acts wherever necessary.
A role that is used in a fun way and then gets attacked by the hero at the moment of need.
It’s like professional wrestling. If you think of it as a large entertainment business, you can get a sense of it to some extent, right?
But the question is, where is it?
This city. There are a total of two villains in San Francisco.
A mixture of a mad scientist called Dr. Beumann and a nobleman and terrorist called Duke Nachik.
Okay. I was almost convinced when I saw those guys. Anyone can see that it seems like a fucking made-up concept, right?
Did these Yankees feel it was plausible? Do people like me who aren’t familiar with comics feel awkward?
Well, that could be true.
I would be the first human to visit the American continent since the world collapsed.
Of course… Although he is an illegal immigrant.
It might not be the first time. Ah. I guess not really. SG formed an exploration team and sent it to the U.S., Right?
No way. I can’t believe Ada was taken away. It’s a shame. Anyway.
I want to find the villain right now and use memory reading to get to his head, but there’s no way because I don’t know where he is.
Moreover, it would be impossible to find out the location of the villain to the public.
City Hall? Should we go there?
If there is a city hall, there will also be a market. At least if you’re mayor, wouldn’t you know something?
First, let’s go to City Hall. I know the location of City Hall, so I’ll go right away. Then, floating in the air, I look inside the city hall using clairvoyance and clairvoyance.
Anyone can see that this is the mayor’s office. And the guy who looks like the mayor. It’s him. However… There are too many people?
There are many people coming in and out, and there are always people watching over you.
I don’t think he’s a bodyguard. Umm…
Putting them all to sleep and reading their memories would cause a commotion, right?
Then the hours he is working must be unreasonable.
I’ll have to come back at night. That guy will also go home after work.
When you go home and are alone, try searching through your memories. Because it’s not urgent.
It’s just morning and people are going to work… It’s a long way until night falls.
What should I do in the meantime? Shall I sleep? It’s a little early. Ah. Let’s just go to another city. Save this place.
I save the viewing and wonder where to go, but the answer is fixed.
America’s 3rd largest city. New York, LA, Chicago.
LA is right around the corner, right? Of course, it’s not really right in front of you. Because the distance is over 500 kilometers.
If you think about it, it’s much further from Seoul than Busan… But the problem is that when you look at this piece of land, you think it’s just around the corner.
Just like Jjanggae, the land is big for these guys too. Moreover, it is a room fraud map.
Anyway, let’s fly. Even if it’s 500 kilometers, it won’t take 3 hours. It can fly away quickly.
Start flying right away. If possible, fly to the beach. To see if there was a hot blonde woman in a bikini.
If you say that you go swimming in the sea in May in Korea, you will hear the sound of dorai, but it seems possible here.
The weather here… Something doesn’t suit me.
It’s cool in the shade, but it’s too hot under the sun. I feel like my flesh is being torn apart.
Isn’t this a coastal city? But why does it feel so dry? I don’t know.
Anyway, I think there could be a pretty girl swimming in the sea with this much sunlight.
That was my delusion.
There were people swimming in the sea. However… To be honest, there is no woman that sucks.
I don’t know. I wonder if that can be called a woman.
Uh… To me, it just looks like some kind of creature. A non-male entity? To that extent?
Weird. Isn’t there supposed to be slim, sexy women in bikinis?
This… It looks like a gathering place for female seals. Am I too caught up in fantasy?
I think Russian women fit the image I have in mind. Or should I go to Northern Europe?
Anyway, it’s not very exciting to go down the coast.
Fuck. It’s not easy. Just do your work.
Anyway, thanks to the active cooperation of American citizens, I was able to arrive in LA quickly without doing anything else.
Thank you! USA! Thank you! USA! Your cooperation! We will repay you with massacre!
Now that I’ve arrived in LA, there are a lot of things I want to try.
First, I want to eat soft tofu… Is it too much? Who said that? When you get off at LA Airport, go straight to eat soft tofu.
Tsk. It’s my fault for not coming before the world falls apart.
Even if it’s still in business, I’m not bold enough to just go and eat it among people.
Rather, it would be my style to let it all marinate, let it sit for a while, and then charm the ladies at the restaurant and ask them to cook one for me.
Anyway, the soft tofu was done. Hmm… Is that really it? Hollywood?
Go and destroy the Hollywood letters on the mountain.
You seem like a person with a ruined personality. Ah. It’s true that your personality is ruined.
But it looks a bit boring. Is there anything better?
Come all the way down the coast. Why is this country’s coast so long and clean? Besides, let’s straighten up.
Anyway, the piece of land is a fucking scam. Damn America. I’m so fucking jealous.
As I come down like that, I see the airport in the distance. Oh. That’s interesting. The airport is inside the city.
Is it accessible? Of course, now it’s just a useless vacant lot.
But it wasn’t. It looks like something like a light aircraft is flying. And countless helicopters.
Ah. Are airplanes and helicopters that do not need navigation devices still in use?
Come to think of it, that’s right. Since you can pump out unlimited amounts of oil, the unit price must have been crazy cheap.
Besides, with something like flying, if something breaks or falls by accident, your life is still saved, right?
Then, I think we can use light aircraft or helicopters for such short distance travel. Much easier than before.
Hmm. That’s fascinating. As expected, people find their own way to survive.
Well, these guys also listened to the radio. I don’t know how to do that.
Can radio waves be used? Do you think it’s blocked? Or did the people who made this world like this miss it?
The conditions may be different. Anyway, I don’t think they are perfect either.
So, I pass the airfield and enter the city center.
Signs that can be detected. OMG. I feel dizzy. It’s really… It’s fear.
It feels like there are some kinds of river fish bustling around underneath.
Flying so high and looking down on the city center… I couldn’t believe my eyes.
What? Why are there so many Korean signs?
At first, I thought the sign was translated automatically due to the translation passive.
But no. That’s a real Korean sign. I feel like I’m in Korea.
This is how many Korean residents there were. It’s fascinating. I never thought that a Korean sign seen from this far away would give me this feeling.
If you had seen it while driving on the ground instead of looking at it with clairvoyance while flying in the sky, you would really have been just a tourist.
I also want to know what I should do. I almost forgot why I came here.
Ugh. I took a quick look around… Furthermore, I wish I had seen this much. Let’s go somewhere else.
Let’s go east. Anyway, I have to take pictures of New York. Let’s keep our distance until night.
With that in mind, I fly towards the east… I saw something far away that I couldn’t just pass by.
No way… What about that? Is that it? That… This
That ride… That castle. That really goes there. Hey…
But in my eyes, I saw a roller coaster spinning round and round.
Uh? No way. Now the roller coaster… Did it move? And it looks like there was someone riding there too?
I fly as if possessed. And an amusement park that is completely within sight.
For sure… Was doing business. Oh my god. No… Returning to normal life. Yes, I think the effort is great.
But even amusement parks are being normalized? You run that?
It’s crazy. I don’t understand this country called America.
Some people were going around on the other side of the world holding their breath and saying that the world was ruined, cutting people down with machetes and killing them.
Are these guys calmly normalizing the amusement park?
For some reason, I thought the world was so absurd.
And if there were a real villain, wouldn’t they make up their minds after seeing something like this?
‘I suffered until I died… Do you guys live happily and smile like this? I’ll destroy everything!’ Like this.
Uh… ?
When I think about it, that’s a good idea.
Wouldn’t it be okay if I became a villain? Oh. Isn’t this bad?
There are so many civilians anyway… It’s too annoying to catch and kill them one by one.
Moreover, there may or may not be coins. Like SG City, they may have used up everything.
But at least those hero guys will be holding coins. Whatever it is, that’s their role.
Hmm… Not bad? I need to think about this too. So should I come up with a name first? With a costume?
