Chapter 648 – 648. Mirage Ocean
If so many civilians were alive, wouldn’t it have been much better to just build a building among the forest of buildings rather than a secret facility built under the forest?
I don’t know. I guess he wanted to play secret agent.
But if you think about it, it’s not that I don’t understand. In the early days of the skill, if it was hidden in a place like this, it would have been quite difficult to find.
I would never have thought that these skills would be developed like they are now.
Then why didn’t you move? Hmm… I don’t know. Let’s get some information from them first and then think about it.
The headquarters of the Hero Association. What… It’s petite. It doesn’t seem like anything.
The problem is that I found two interesting ones.
Kraken mark.
And was it Romodo the Destroyer last time? Anyway, the suit that was popular around him.
I’m not sure if it’s him. But the feeling is similar.
In the end, what I thought was right. Those who take care of heroes are the same as those who take care of villains.
Still, it’s so insincere. How can we stay together in the same building?
Shouldn’t we at least distinguish between each other and then only share information with superiors?
Greatly… It feels clumsy.
Anyway, I found it, so… You can just read your memories.
All you have to do is discover it. That’s because it’s difficult… You can do anything if you just discover it.
It has just become morning.
Still, perhaps because it was a secret base in name, they didn’t do anything stupid like drive a car to this forest.
These guys appear one after another.
Okay. At least there should be power teleportation. Okay. That’s right.
Even if it’s not to the gate, it’s true that there must be instantaneous movement.
The problem is that it’s morning now?
It’s very early to put him to sleep and read his memories.
Fortunately, they had a shift crew.
This is probably due to the time difference across the United States and the villains and heroes who are active day and night.
Because villains aren’t installed only during the day.
The reason we were able to discover this place was because of the number of people on this shift.
If it weren’t for them, I would have thought it was just a quiet forest and skipped over.
But what’s the point in reading them below? In the end, I have to read this big guy.
I’m worried. How can I read your memory discreetly?
Even though it may be a bit difficult, should we try memory manipulation at the same time?
If you say you haven’t been feeling well recently or that you were so tired that you dozed off… I don’t think it would be too awkward or anything.
Why does memory reading require touching the body? Why can’t I read Bluetooth memory?
But if you think about it, something like that shouldn’t come out.
If someone were to read my memories from such a distance, I would be horrified.
Of course, it doesn’t matter because there is a reflection… Anyway, it’s a bit like that.
But even at night, there is no way to read his memories.
If you use teleportation, there’s no way to know where he sleeps.
Wait until you learn tracking? Then it takes about four days. About three days at the earliest.
Actually, that’s the safest. Hmm… It might be better that way.
They’re the ones you don’t need to mess with, right? And in the meantime, that middle-aged man might come to Hawaii.
Ah… Come to think of it, the same goes for him.
At last… There has to be some tracking. There’s nothing you can do in the meantime.
If the other person is even the slightest bit concerned about security, there is nothing you can do.
At least you can get suspicious just by waking up and seeing that the buff on you is turned off.
Is there no way? How to read memories perfectly, rather than reading them all at once without thinking about it later.
Hmm… Kidnap them, read their memories, do a little bit of memory manipulation, then use marionettes to rewrite things like reflexes that are turned off by the inevitable sleep, and then return to normal?
I guess it’s not bad? Then I guess I should bring Lena.
First, I saved my current location and headed straight to Las Vegas.
But the women who are not in the dorm. Ah. Right. I sent it to leader.
Go back to Bengaluru. Take Lena and send her to Suwon Bunker.
And then teleported back to Chicago. Phase out to Blink.
Dive to the ground and head to the room of the top boss of the Hero Association that you saw earlier.
He happened to be alone. After unlocking, put on sleep and save this room, then open the water source gate and take the guy.
It’s a time attack from now on, so we’ll have to hurry. I need to quickly read only the memories I need.
However… There is more to read than you think.
What? This guy knows a lot of things, doesn’t he?
I guess I’ll have to read more memories… Once you do that.
I teleported to the room the guy was in and then went into the bathroom inside the room.
Then open the gate again, come over to Suwon and talk to Lena.
“Stay in here and if you hear someone outside, knock on the door a couple of times and pretend there’s someone there.”
“Yes.”
Lena went through the gate like that.
If you do this, it will be like you were in the bathroom. I bought time.
Fortunately, no one came in while I was reading his memories.
I used memory manipulation on the guy who skipped everything and made him think he had gone to the bathroom himself.
Fortunately, there are no buffs that were originally in use. This guy walks around without even turning on his reflection. Pathetic guy.
After taking off his pants and making him sit on the restroom, I went back through the gate and immediately phased out.
Gate closing. I probably woke up from my sleep.
It’s okay. If you do this, it will be a relief. Then that guy is done.
“Lena, you too, go back to leader.”
When the gate of Bengaluru opens, Lena pouts and goes over to the gate, as if she was expecting something.
Anyway… She is a woman with a lot of dirty thoughts in her head.
After sending Lena away, close the gate and head to the next location.
New York? Also in Manhattan? I went to New York like that… It was right in front of me.
When I came here to Chicago, I wondered why they had built a headquarters like this in the middle of the city.
It was already like that. And in the very center of New York.
Teleport straight to New York. Then, check the address and building you saw in his memory.
Looking at the map, it’s not that far from the Empire State Building. It was really right around the corner.
Quite a nice building. The company name is Mirage Ocean Company.
This is Kraken’s parent company. It is also the backbone of the Hero Association and one of the core organizations that currently runs the United States.
The man who was the president of the Hero Association. He had more information than I thought.
A man who was once the director of Mirage Ocean Company.
However, he lost the internal faction fight and was eventually demoted to the Hanjik Hero Association.
Originally, the Hero Association was a place with considerable power after the world collapsed.
Because it played a big role in securing internal security and influencing the public sentiment.
But not now. Mirage Ocean and the country no longer invest in heroes.
And I think I know why.
Someone must have written a Q&A. And I found out the truth. There is no reason to carry all these people.
If so, I’m quite curious. What kind of guy is this that manages things so well?
We only need one person, so why do the guys below follow the guy who wrote the Q&A?
Do you think the same as me? Has the future been guaranteed to some specific people? They don’t kill them until they die of old age?
But does it work? It doesn’t mean anything?
If someone with power presses you, you won’t be able to say anything.
Is there any response to broken promises? Hmm… I don’t know. Well, let’s find out slowly.
Anyway, I revealed my superiors again. Then, all we have to do is kill the tallest person in this Mirage Ocean Company again.
I think we’re almost there now. Really… It would be difficult to dig up from the bottom and climb up.
This is why the dark people who control the world are the problem. It takes too long to find.
A guy who openly acts like the Demon King would be able to kill him right away if he just invaded the Demon King’s castle.
But it’s really annoying to repeat the same thing again.
Is there any other approach? It’s not easy to steal information without them finding out.
Of course, if the opponent realizes that they are targeting them, the difficulty increases several times, so it is better to suffer like this.
Ugh. Let’s not give a shit and just quietly gather information. There is no way.
Sitting on top of the Empire State Building and looking at the Mirage Ocean Company’s chairman’s office.
A man in his 50s. A neat suit and parted hair. He’s a man with feelings. It looked very different.
What position is this guy? Could it be that this guy is a shadowy person writing Q&A?
Hmm… But I don’t think that’s the case. If he was that kind of guy, he wouldn’t go through the trouble of acting like a president.
I need to relax in a deep hideout and be attended to by hot girls.
Why would you do such a complicated and cumbersome task?
Still, if he gets to that level, he will be one of the key figures. No, it has to be that way.
Let’s stop being a hassle. I don’t want to bother running around anymore.
How much longer do I have to travel back and forth to America? It’s annoying.
Watch the venue while training in damage reduction.
But it’s not much fun to watch. I’m working very sincerely.
It’s not fun to just look at him, so I look at other parts of the company.
A big building. People everywhere.
It was quite funny while watching.
Why are these people still enslaved to the company and doing this even though the world is in this state?
Inertia in the past world? Or securing stable food?
Well, it’s because the country’s administrative power was strong enough to use dollars as is, so it didn’t go astray like Korea or Japan, but…
The more you think about it, the stranger they are.
When I look at them, I can clearly feel that I am truly abnormal.
Wow. I have a lot of random thoughts again. I need to master the skill.
Damage reduction skill. My lips hurt from constantly muttering.
But really… It’s surprising that I can’t sleep.
If I hadn’t seen Jang Ryong, I wouldn’t have thought he could do this.
Ah. Right. I should give him a drink.
But where should I give it? Should I go to Singapore?
It’s right to give it to someone who dies, right? Do you have anything saved in Singapore yet?
Ah… There is. Then I should go right away.
I teleported to Singapore and headed to the place where Jangryong died.
It wasn’t difficult to find the place where he died because there were still a lot of rebars stuck in various places.
Ah. Here it is. The place where he died.
I was trying to take out soju from the storage, but decided to pour something a little better instead.
What is the most expensive soju that can be produced through soju creation?
I don’t really like alcohol, so I don’t know what’s good.
Ah. Okay. Let’s try Andong soju. That would be fine. I’m sure they won’t give a damn if I don’t take it away.
Open the bottle cap and pour it over the spot where he died.
I wonder what this means for a guy who’s already dead, but anyway, there’s a lot I learned from him, and I’m putting what I have left to good use.
I poured him a whole bottle of alcohol and placed the bottle in the place where he died.
Young. See you later when I die. I’m sure I’ll go to hell anyway.
Anyway, I have to do the same to the king of the Yakuza.
Even though I said I would do it every time, I still haven’t done it.
While trying to move to Suwon, I thought about it and thought it would be faster to go from Kyushu.
I took out the map and measured the distance, and I was right. Kyushu is much faster.
Fortunately, I still have something saved in Kyushu, so I can teleport right away.
And the distance is a little over 200 kilometers. Well, you can go there in an instant.
Busan has become a desolate city. And in writing.
When I arrived at the rooftop of the building where he died, I poured him the same bottle of Andong soju that I had poured for Jangryong.
Young. Thank you too. Thanks to you, I was able to catch people who had difficulty even dreaming. See you later too. Dude.
I placed the bottles in the same way.
Ruler. Now I’ve done everything.
Teleported back to New York.
No matter how many times I see a dark night turning into bright day, it still feels strange.
It’s 3 a.M. Korean time. It’s 2pm here. There are still 9 more hours to go. Ah-oh. I’m bored.
I watch the Chairman of Mirage Ocean again and practice damage reduction.
Meanwhile, random thoughts creep in again.
He’s probably a dark guy in the US.
Unknown in Europe.
Smelly Corporation, a remnant of Russia.
First, these are the three places you need to pay attention to.
The best scenario is to fight each other fiercely and reveal each other’s positions.
It would be really difficult to face such a situation in this wide world.
Is there any way?
Especially the Unknown, about whom nothing is known. How on earth are we supposed to bring that guy out?
What did they say? Swiss German?
Then, can we look into Switzerland? Since he is a human, he must have a hideout or something.
Once I’m ready, I’ll have to go there too.
For that to happen, the United States must first be resolved to some extent. That’s how it moves.
