Sleepman of a Ruined World 706

Chapter 706 – 706. Regular Meeting 1

Where is it? Where is it?

Immediately teleport to New York and search for Rachel’s location.

Her position overlaps with the other committee guys. Then… The story of the same building.

I immediately mixed in the blink and flew away.

The building where the conference hall is held. Chloe Evans’ company.

The conference room was in the basement, and Rachel was on the top floor of the building.

Right. Even though he’s a grandmaster, he can’t attend, so does that mean he’ll be watching closely? With a monitor and speakers?

A chance to track down Jason again, who had been released.

Fortunately, the room they were in was quite large. Well, I wouldn’t cram those two people into a narrow room.

Try to infiltrate right away and then wait for a while.

Not now. After all, those guys came to listen to the regular meeting, right?

When Powell shows up and the meeting starts, let’s go in then.

When Jason’s eyes are looking at the monitor. You can go there then.

The rooftop across from the building where they are.

I took a look at them there and immediately thought of Powell.

Just then, the guy teleported and arrived in the basement.

Then the other committee members who were sitting stood up.

Chloe Evans That girl doesn’t wake up? Well, I guess that girl will be okay.

But I think there are people who don’t know the situation and see that as something unfair.

What… That’s none of my business.

As Powell sits down, the other committee members take their seats.

Powell takes a quick look at them.

[Philip’s empty space is too big.]

Everyone’s eyes are focused on one empty seat.

Reynold even created a place for the dead Philip. Probably for this reason.

[Let’s take a moment of silence for him who was loyal and dedicated.]

Everyone bows their heads and meditates for a moment in response to Powell’s words.

It doesn’t really matter whether Philip was truly loyal and dedicated.

Anyway, he was working as part of a committee, so if he passes by carelessly, there will be backlash from other committee members, so he’s doing that.

After a moment of silence, Powell looks at the new recruit and speaks.

[Matthew. Let’s start.]

The new chairman stood up from his seat, used the drawer, took out the files, and turned them around one by one, starting with Powell.

Powell and the other committee members opening the file.

But Chloe Evans doesn’t even touch the files.

[This is data that investigated everything from the last incident in Guam to the incident in Hawaii that happened just yesterday. These incidents… It appears to be the work of a person commonly known as Unknown…]

Stop thinking for a moment and take a look at their appearance.

Jason. The guy looks at the monitor and looks interested.

Rachel… She doesn’t seem very interested.

She is looking at the monitor, but remains still with her legs crossed and no particular expression.

I’ll have to track it down first. I can’t do it because I feel uncomfortable.

I used Phase Out to enter the building.

Then, go to a place like a bathroom next to the conference room and immediately turn it off and use it first.

And after applying all the buffs, I quietly walked out toward the conference room.

Jason and Rachel looking at the monitor. I immediately pursued Jason.

After checking to see if it gets caught, hide behind the wall again and teleport away.

When I reached the Empire State Building, I breathed a sigh of relief.

It’s okay. For now, I’ve done all the tracking.

It’s like a mirage that I don’t know when it will be resolved, but I took a step for now.

Then now I have to watch them again.

[So… No clues were found in Guam. However, it has been confirmed that Unknown did it, and since this was confirmed through memory reading, I think it is fairly reliable information. Next…]

[For a moment. Pretty trustworthy? Not sure?]

[Because I did not catch and confirm Unknown myself, I cannot completely trust it.]

[Continue.]

The point of view was changed to a new recruit.

Then, the Grandmaster is seen looking at the newcomer with an expression of satisfaction.

Perhaps gaining strength from that, the newcomer speaks again in a powerful voice.

[Hawaii. There, Unknown died. Although he suffered numerous casualties, he failed to achieve his original objective. When analyzing the battle scenes he witnessed, there were a few notable parts that I will explain. Please see the next page.]

Everyone moves the files back one page at a time.

I changed the perspective and looked at it from Reynolds’ perspective, and the file data came into view at a glance.

That new guy. I’m better at handling things than I thought.

Even after just a quick look, I can see that it captures everything I was thinking of.

Also… This is why the other person must also be a smart person.

Only then will it be worthwhile to put in the effort.

[Unknown used the lightning skill without using a separate area-of-effect skill nullification skill. It is clear that the apostles had their reflection turned on, but they were struck by lightning and sacrificed themselves. What you can expect when you see this…]

[Combination skill.]

[Yes, that’s right. Lightning is inevitable. I expect it to be that skill.]

[Good. And?]

[He briefly used a skill-free zone. And we measured the radius based on eyewitness statements. Distances range from approximately 0.6 miles to 1.8 miles.]

[1.8 miles? Are you sure?]

[Such calculations were made as a result of gathering information from eyewitnesses. If we calculate based on that, his level is estimated to be at least 30 and at most 50.]

Wow. Fuck. That kid is more capable than I thought? That’s how you captured what was turned on in that brief moment?

Moreover, if that level is the tier I’m talking about, it almost accurately captures my level.

He’s quite a guy. Surprisingly.

[I understand the minimum level to some extent… The maximum level is a ridiculous number. What is the possibility of error?]

[I also thought it made no sense for Unknown to die in vain like that if he was actually level 50, so I did a lot of research. And we confirmed two possibilities.]

[Continue.]

[First, Unknown lifted the skill-use zone. In Guam, the zone where skills cannot be used was not lifted, but considering that it is possible now, it is presumed that the player learned how to remove the restriction in the meantime. Considering the distance measured in Guam, the location of witnesses in Hawaii, and the growth rate, the radius of his skill blackout zone is approximately 0.6 miles.]

This is, to some extent, what I intended. That’s why I was so crazy about keeping my distance in that tense battle situation.

Unless two people are standing on the border of a zone where the skill cannot be used, so one is unable to use the skill and the other is not using the skill, the exact distance cannot be measured.

That’s why he attracted as many potential witnesses as possible. Then you won’t be able to make an accurate decision.

But why do they use miles?

Anyway, those American bastards who don’t even use SI standards need to screw up. Things that are not cheap.

[If that’s the case, it’s quite realistic. What were Unknown’s skills?]

[Revealed: Flight, Telekinesis, AoE Skill Dispelling, Unlocking, Lightning, and Lightning Orb. And the presumed skills are reflection, shield, and detection.]

[The same goes for the Q&A tree.]

[Yes. That part is written on the back page.]

[I just said there were two possibilities, what is the other possibility?]

[It’s on the back page.]

Reynolds flipping through the back pages.

And on the back page was written something so surprising that it gave me goosebumps.

It’s as if you were watching what I did right from the side.

The theory is that someone at level 50 manipulated the incapacitated Unknown and forced it to die.

He probably thought this because he didn’t know about coordination skills.

Perhaps he could have reasoned more convincingly than this if he had known coordination skills.

[This contains a lot of speculation. Why did you make this assumption?]

[As written on the back page, there are many reasons. The problem is that he did not use the blink skill, which should be used as a basic skill in battle, and he could not check the coin. Also, there is a report that when Unknown used the skill unusable zone, the skill of an apostle who was about 1.8 miles away was momentarily disabled… I’m not sure about that. Because the person concerned died.]

[Okay… Matthew. Your discretion is nice to see. But this method is too cumbersome. If I were that level 50 unknown person, I would rather capture a few witnesses and use memory manipulation than do something like this.]

[This is written about an emergency situation.]

[Okay. Great job. So what is the damage situation?]

[Of the 100 apostles assigned to the ROF PROJECT, 37 have died and 25 are missing. There are only 38 people left.]

[It’s miserable.]

[Sorry.]

[Sorry.]

The newbie and Reynolds apologized at the same time, but Powell’s expression doesn’t look that bad.

He looks at them blankly and asks Reynolds.

[Reynold? Have you confirmed Unknown’s identity?]

[Yes. That’s right. His name is Konrad Seitz. He is 37 years old and is of German-Swiss origin. He is a middle manager at a Swiss bank called First Credit…]

Saying so, Raynold takes out his file from his storage and hands it to Powell.

Powell, who received the file, glanced at it and spoke softly.

The guy clearly said it was Q&A. And he’s the guy who mumbles something inaudibly.

After confirming something for a moment, Powell returns to his seat and speaks while looking at Reynolds and the other committee members sitting down.

[Unknown is dead. Matthew’s hypothesis is interesting, but the idea that there is a mastermind behind it is somewhat unreasonable. I’ll check on that, so don’t worry about it anymore.]

What? Ah. Did you confirm Unknown’s location through Q&A? But you didn’t kill anyone, right? How can you be so sure?

Ah… Did that guy also confirm that there were 1,000 people and 10 million coins?

If you answer “No”, You can check it right away.

However… These guys are really great. How did you know Unknown’s personal details?

I think you know better than me, who caught it and read your memories yourself, right? It gives me goosebumps. Aren’t they crazy?

Anyway, Powell is letting down his guard. In fact, that new guy is even more meticulous.

I think… I don’t think that guy is Tier 50.

So, if you use their expression, it seems difficult to imagine someone at level 50.

But… If I told someone I had 50 skills, they would be quicker to tell me not to give a damn than to believe them.

Even if you ask someone who knows me well, it won’t be easy to understand.

Actually, there are 52 skills. Hehe.

[Reynold. ROF PROJECT is abolished.]

[Yes. I understand.]

What do you want? It was a very grand plan… It ends in a very cool way, doesn’t it?

But. It wouldn’t be very fun to explode a volcano when that’s all the population left.

[Anderson? What about Africa?]

[Progress rate is 99.5 percent.]

[Good. Miller? What about Russia?]

[Uh… Almost done. There were a few small things left behind.]

[You might want to follow Anderson’s report.]

[Haha. Sorry.]

[Anderson, Miller. I’ll give you three days. Please organize your respective areas by three days and join Reynolds. Reynolds? Clear Hawaii and join Anderson and Miller to finish South America. Two weeks from now.]

[Yes. I understand.]

[Finish South America and go to the Middle East. Everything is organized, including the Middle East and leader. It’s been a month to get there. Until the next regular meeting. Matthew?]

[Yes. Grandmaster.]

[The remaining humans in Asia and the small islands in Oceania are all organized. Will it last for a month?]

[It is possible.]

[Run.]

[I understand.]

[President.]

[Yes. Grandmaster.]

[Execute protocol 666.]

Upon hearing those words, the president’s expression hardens slightly.

But when I heard the words said earlier, the president’s expression, and the plan with the number 666, I was like… I think I understand.

These guys. No matter how you look at it, it looks like they are carrying out a plan to annihilate humanity.

[The current population on Earth is… It is 330 million. I hope to leave less than 10% at the regular meeting next month. Everyone understood, right?]

Then everyone nods with a stern expression.

Chloe Evans. Except for that woman.

[Evans. You will be with me from today. If Protocol 666 is implemented, the place you live will become dangerous.]

[No. I will resign from my position as chairman.]

[Is that so? Is that the answer to your long-standing concerns?]

[Okay. Powell.]

For the first time, I felt anger in Powell’s expression, which had been calm until now.

What? Why suddenly? Ah… Is it because his last name, Powell, was revealed?

[Everyone disperses. Evans. You stay.]

[Are you planning on killing me yourself?]

[What are you doing! Everyone disperses!]

At Powell’s shout, all the committee members, including Reynolds, teleported away.

And Powell and Evans remained.

Oh, oh. Is this exciting? She already seemed very dissatisfied… Is it going to explode like this?
