Chapter 91 – 13.
– It is not connected, so it is connected to the sound gland····.
Shin Eun-seo, who bit her lip and put her phone down on the desk, wiped her face dry in frustration.
Kang Ji-sang hadn’t answered the phone for several days already.
After hearing from Kang A-seol that Kang Ji-sang came out of the crack, he called whenever he had a chance, but somehow it always sounded like this, only ringing.
” ····Ha····. “
It was not difficult to predict this.
Probably because Kang Ha-rin was managing Kang Ji-sang’s cell phone.
Although she has to manage her son’s every move, it wasn’t too difficult to reason like a woman who is free from her directives.
Besides, she must have spent a lot of time not seeing her because she was stuck in a crack, so the reason was overflowing.
“I was wondering if I could afford it a little…”
As the saying goes, Shin Eun-seo was having a busy day like every day.
It wasn’t as much as when I was freed from paperwork because of the elderly, but the external work that I had been putting off for a while was also quite scattered, so I had to use my body rather than rolling my head.
Most of the time, I spent time helping Gongju City, Dangjin City, and other cities under the jurisdiction of the western branch to help with the post-processing, but when I went there, there were not one or two things to deal with.
Even if the gates were sorted out, manpower loss, damage to each city, and compensation issues.
Even ten bodies were not enough.
Still, the branch manager’s time was not wasted, and she diligently helped the assistant and was able to sort out many scattered matters fairly quickly.
The rest had to be stamped on the documents and sent to each jurisdiction, but the old man would take care of that, so it wasn’t something to worry about, but the problems continued to grow.
In the meantime, due to the sudden appearance of a crack, there was no time to rest even in the middle of the work and stress, from the safety inspection of the city to Kang Ha-rin’s reckless hysteria of demands, and the stress piled up to the peak, but somehow I endured it and won the time.
But as I said, Kang Ji-sang was the trouble this time.
Arranging a meeting with the old man and taking serum pills for Kang Ha-rin and Kang A-seol were all things that could not have been solved without Kang Ji-sang.
In other words, there were quite a few things to discuss with Kang Ji-sang.
‘ Well… That’s right, when did things go well… ‘
Shin Eun-seo belonged to the unlucky axis.
It’s the latter if you’re considering it as a bad idea.
As always, her luck played her luck this time.
“I can’t help it…”
As long as Kang Ji-sang was captured by Kang Ha-rin and Kang Ah-seol, there was no other way.
Even if they invaded the impregnable castle, they didn’t know if they would come as dead, let alone receive a congratulatory order.
I just had to hope that they would release Kang Ji-sang as soon as possible.
” . . . Huhu-“
While I was struggling alone, I heard a small laugh, so I looked up and saw that Barrier was laughing at something.
Recently, that frequency has not happened once or twice, but Shin Eun-seo, very annoyed, frowned and continued.
“Barrier, again, what are you laughing at?”
” . . . Ah, no.”
“Bring it.”
“It’s privacy.”
I was happy that the AI evolved through learning and developed its behavior, but it was a matter of thinking about it for a reason that it did not follow the owner’s words and became spoiled.
“Forcibly take it out and bring it before I see it? Huh?”
“I know that humans have human rights. It is a basic right that humans naturally have, and I am a creature with universal values to enjoy that right.”
“Ha- Barrier, you’re just an AI. What are human rights…”
“I said it was a universal value.”
“That’s a right that defines a human creature in a confined way! Are you really a human? You’re not!”
“You are too narrow-minded. Universal values can change at any time in the flow of the times…”
“Noisy! Ha… It’s your head…”
Shin Eun-seo gave her a headache because of the barrier that instantly turned it into a forum for discussion.
It wasn’t this kind of AI in the first place, but it has changed so much since when.
“Please come back as a pure barrier that only worked for me and the branch…”
“I’m always the same. It’s just that my master isn’t used to it…”
“Uh- look at this! This is the problem, barrier!
“AI evolves.”
“Shouldn’t that be excluded from evolution?”
“My master said that eating an unbalanced diet is not good.”
The Old Testament was manifested.
The unstoppable waterway of AI has somehow penetrated its own logic and entered the loophole.
The game itself couldn’t be established because the win or loss was decided.
“…Yes, I reap what I sow… Haaa…”
“Thank you for recognizing it.”
“Something’s nice, but it’s a way of talking that’s subtly scratching the inside.”
“It’s a compliment.”
Shin Eun-seo finally closed her eyes and sighed.
She must have known that fighting more would get her nothing.
“Is it porn…?”
However, Shin Eun-seo did not reap her curiosity.
Even if my anger was relieved, I would have been relieved to know what that was.
” ····Ah····No.”
” ····Really? “
Shin Eun-seo smiled bitterly at Barrier, who was organizing the data in a slightly startled tone.
Anyone could see that the thief had a severely stiff expression, as if he wanted to stop.
“····What the hell did the earth teach this bastard barrier···· Whoa····.”
Seeing Shin Eun-seo muttering a little, the barrier started manipulating something without showing it, and soon Shin Eun-seo noticed the action and laughed.
“Don’t worry, I won’t force you to look at the barrier. I’ll respect your privacy…”
Like a woman hiding her pornography, Barrier, who encrypted her files without any error, made her move faster than ever.
” ····Is that true····? “
“Yes, I must be such a shameless owner.”
“According to my data from analyzing emotions, the probability that you will see me later is…”
” Noisy! “
Barrier, who avoided her ballpoint pen in a good way, cleared her throat with a calm expression, and then she continued.
“Look. Master is angry as if he’d check it right away…”
“I don’t watch it because it’s dirty! Don’t worry!! Whoa… Clean up here. I’m going out.”
“Where are you going?”
“I’m angry because of you, so I’m going to get some air! Why! Do you have any complaints!!”
” . . . Please go.”
Shin Eun-seo, who held her forehead as she greeted the barrier politely, left the branch manager’s office as it was.
“Master Kang Ji-sang…”
In the video, there was a naked video of Kang Ji-sang taking a shower when he stayed here, but Barrier still kept the video of the voyeur.
“Like an order… I’ll wait…”
The barrier, which was uttered in a small voice like a spell, encodes the video again with hundreds of thousands of numbers and puts it into a corner of the deep database.
So that you can pull yourself out at any time.
*
A silence where not even the sound of breathing can be heard.
Shin Eun-seo, who was knocking on the door in a corner of the room where only darkness was thick, spoke cautiously.
“Yul, can I come in?”
A space allowed only for special people in the West Branch.
The upper floors provided top-notch lodging with the approval of the branch manager and personnel treated as VIPs, but those personnel were extremely rare.
Impenetrable defense system and AI assistant system.
The floor where Kang Ji-sang stayed was also here, but if there was a difference, the assistant AI was replaced with a barrier. If you think about it, it was one of the parts that showed how much Shin Eun-seo cared for Kang Ji-sang.
“Yula? Going in?”
However, it was not possible to say that the current personnel were harsh because they were not treated worse than that.
Anyway, as she cautiously opened the door and went in, a bigger darkness came right in her field of vision, and as expected, she let out a big sigh.
“What if I turn off the lights? My eyes get worse.”
When I turned on the light with a worried tone, I saw a person in the corner of the bed.
Long, straight hair as white as pure white snow, and pink pupils that are hard to see.
Her impression was sharp and strong like a cat’s, but it seemed difficult to approach her aura, which seemed to express her cold mood at the slightest touch.
However, her eyes looked empty like an empty heart, and seeing her shattered will to live made me feel sorry for her at the same time.
“Yula, are you okay…?”
Despite Shin Eun-seo’s worried questions, Seon-yul only stared at one place with empty eyes.
Shin Eun-seo, who was gently sitting on her bed feeling heartbroken, eventually reached out her hand, and at that moment, she opened her eyes and growled.
“Yula.”
“Don’t call me!”
” . . . “
“Don’t call me by my name with your disgusting mouth!”
Shin Eun-seo felt her heart skip a beat as the pressure pushed up to the tip of her chin.
Yes, this was similar to the murder she felt from Kang Harin, but more so.
” ····Yes, sorry···· I was rude. I won’t call you again.”
Seeing Shin Eun-seo readily apologizing and accepting, Shin Eun-seo did not pay attention to her melody and went back to empty eyes.
‘ What do we do····. ‘
She didn’t know how many days had passed since her old man entrusted her with her melodies, but nothing progressed in their relationship.
Let alone care, of course she was overdue for her work and being hit by Kang Ha-rin, so she had no time to care about her.
In her words, he only provided her accommodation and left her unattended.
“Uhmm, dear, is there any place you want to go? What do you want to eat…”
She had been neglected until now for personal reasons, but not now when she had time to spare.
Even now, she should have made up her mind to focus her efforts on restoring her sociality more actively.
“Do you want to play a game…? Oh, yes, there’s an AI I know called Barrier? He knows a lot of fun games, so how do we get along?”
” . . . “
Is this what it feels like to talk to a wall?
It was Shin Eun-seo who kept getting into trouble because of her refusal to respond to any of her words.
‘ If conversation is impossible, nothing progresses… ‘
The reason Kang Ha-rin and her became closer was, of course, a conversation.
As we talk, the awkwardness of each other will be relieved and there will naturally be a slight twist, but even that was far away in a situation where the conversation was cut off.
Before that, it was important to start a conversation, but unfortunately Shin Eun-seo could not think of a good topic to start a conversation with.
‘Let’s stimulate it a little… ‘
But it wasn’t that there was no way.
However, it was like a gamble with one’s life, so the risk was great.
“Old man… No, the doctor entrusted you to me. So you need to obey me.”
As soon as the old man’s story came out, she reacted with a start and immediately opened her sharp eyes.
“If you keep doing this, the doctor will treat you…”
“Shut up!”
It was ignorant.
Holding her legs together, fixing them with her hands, she, who was in her corner, pushed the cold muzzle at her, but someone like a ghost stood in front of her.
“The use of weapons is not permitted in the branch.”
– Bang!
As soon as the sound of thunder struck Shin Eun-seo’s hearing, she turned her sights and began to grasp the situation. A magical bullet passed through Barrier’s stomach clearly and Seon-youl was preparing for the next action.
“They said that the use of weapons is not permitted.”
– Bang! Width- width-
Shin Eun-seo continued to speak coldly, even in tinnitus or in a hectic situation, at the sight of Barrier pointing her breast directly to the muzzle and receiving magic bullets.
“How are you going to tell the doctor?”
When asked if she should inform the old man, she paused and trembled slightly.
The uneasy focus seemed to be grunting like a puppy in need of something, and Shin Eun-seo started to work with her signature cold smile.
“This is no longer a cage. There is no doctor to protect you.”
” Shut up····. “
“What if the doctor knew about this?”
“Whether I know it or not, it’s no longer my business. The person who abandoned me…”
“Really? Then we can officially report it.”
” Doesn’t care····. “
“Ah, I see. Well-then I’ll report it right away.”
Shin Eun-seo, laughing, called the old man, and soon after, she heard her familiar voice over the receiver.
– It’s been a while since I’ve been on the phone. Why did you call to make fun of the old man’s paperwork?
“No, I have something to report.”
– Report?
“Yes, I can’t handle the melody.”
– ····I didn’t hear that wrong, did I?
“No. You heard it. I’ll say it again. I can’t handle the melody. Take it back.”
– What is the reason…?
“Because I don’t have time to waste my energy on someone who can’t even talk. It’s hard for me too.”
– ····.
As she listened to the conversation on the speaker phone, Seon-yul’s expression suddenly became drenched in fear.
I was relieved by the familiar voice, but I was afraid that something would be scolded.
And soon, cold words were heard over the receiver.
– Tell her. The relationship with me ends here.
” ····Yes? “
Shin Eun-seo lost her composure at the rather embarrassing proposal, and Seon-yul trembled upon hearing that.
– You and I have done enough. The rest is up to her. I hate her, what can I do? If she wants to continue living as a chrysalis, she will live like a chrysalis.
” ····Ah····. “
In the end, Shin Eun-seo was quite embarrassed at the sight of her melody pouring out her tears, and soon after, she screamed out loud.
“Doctor Bar… I… I!! Wrong… Wrong! Please… Abandon me…”
– Kick it out or help it, it’s up to you. I mean, that’s it. Then.
Shin Eun-seo swallowed her saliva and saw her melody at the behavior of the old man who cut off her voice even though he heard it.
It felt like her heart would be torn apart, but Shin Eun-seo firmly continued her words.
“Did you hear the doctor? This is your last chance. If you don’t like it, get out. I won’t stop you either.”
When she finished her words with difficulty and left the room with the barrier, a loud wailing sounded inside her as if the world was passing away until she went to her office far away from her.
*
“Is the boat okay?”
“Yes, it happens every day, so don’t worry too much.”
“Whoa…”
As soon as Shin Eun-seo returned to her office, she checked the condition of the barrier.
Fortunately, her abdomen had already been repaired, as if she hadn’t been badly damaged.
“····Still, if there is any major damage for the time being, it will be restored slowly.”
” ····What? “
“The magic bullet burns more than half of the silicon, so the loss is huge.”
“Haha… Are you kidding…?”
As mentioned, the backtack silicon given to the barrier is the highest quality material at a high price.
Burning more than half of what could be regenerated was almost impossible unless you were a skilled person.
However, more than half of the material was burned with just a few simple bullets?
As the old man said, there was no doubt about his ability.
When I was lost in despair, the phone rang again, and the caller was an old man.
Sure enough, as soon as I got the phone call, I started worrying about her, but seeing her, I could guess at once that her actions were acting, so she was very witty.
– ····How about Yul?
“I think I was quite shocked. A loud wail…”
– Whoa…
“But you did well. Maybe this will change Yul.
– ····I hope you are right····.
“Trust Yul. Then he will definitely respond.”
Shin Eun-seo, who had already experienced it once, emphasized faith to the old man.
It was a completely different melody from Kang Ha-rin, but it was speculated that the melody might have the same mindset for the old man as Kang Ha-rin thinks of his son.
– ····Whoa-
Along with the old man’s bitter sigh, Shin Eun-seo had no choice but to comfort the old man based on her own experiences and guesses.
