Chapter 214 – [The Last Days of China]
Agent Jason is a person who thinks he is cool-headed. That’s why he was put on such an important mission as a member of the CIA.
His specialty is not being taken aback no matter what the other person jokes or says, but it feels like he’s lost his mind for a moment.
“Are you kidding again?”
“Do you see this as a joke?”
Agent Jason tried to read something from her expression, but Shion is basically expressionless.
Being able to read the subtle changes in her expression is the worst. It is possible because she has known her for a long time, so even her cousin, Utopia, who is related by blood, cannot read her expression.
“Regeneration potions and dimensional seismic detectors that have advanced several generations. In addition, radioactive decontamination equipment that cannot be done with current technology. Just what I showed you, you can see that I am not a normal enough person, and even so, those technologies are the infrastructure of the present Earth. You know you can’t make it.”
“………”
It was not that there were no such opinions.
Even if you send a science student to the Stone Age, you can’t make a computer at all, it is obvious that the steam engine will be the limit at best. With a bit of luck, it might go a little further, but it’s still within the margin of error.
In order for technology to develop, an appropriate infrastructure must be formed. If you think about that and see Shion’s technological prowess, you can feel extremely distant.
“Besides, which Force user could change his body so freely? Force users with the characteristics of regeneration or recovery are rare, and I’m the only one who can do delicate things like cell manipulation, but that’s it.” Do you think it’s possible?”
“That…….”
“And you already know. There is no record of me more than two years from now.”
Of course, there are paper records.
Shion was a citizen of the United States, but was discharged from another hospital overseas to fight the disease and became a naturalized person in Korea. Cases like US citizenship or medical records are certain.
But no one has ever met her. Despite her striking appearance, not a single person had met or remembered her. Like a person who rose from the ground or fell from the sky.
“Since I didn’t hide it, I would have been able to check all those records. Besides, if you’re an American citizen, there should be traces of your life in the United States. At least, does anyone know my parents?”
“……There was none”
“Now, are you willing to trust me a little?”
No matter how much Zion hides computer-related data through hacking, it cannot hide analog things. In the end, it’s only a matter of time before she gets caught, and one day she will.
The worst was already rampaging with the idea of revealing its identity. If so, she has no intention of hiding Shion either.
A voice began to ring loudly in Agent Jason’s ears. Most of the experts on the support team were either confused or excited about the sudden alien coming out.
“What is your purpose on Earth?”
“Isn’t that a pretty typical line? Well, if I had to answer, it would be because of my husband.”
“You seem to be that kind of person.”
“That’s natural”
There were many things I wanted to ask. Speaking of the United States, it was often said that Area 51 was torturing aliens, but that was not true. However, if there were aliens in front of me right now, it was obvious that there would be a lot of things I wanted to ask.
“I’m a race called Hanon. To be precise, I’m more like an alien-like transcendental species than an alien.”
“Transcendence species… My husband said he was a transcendental person, but are they similar?”
“It’s the difference between a self-made person and a person who was born with a golden spoon from the beginning.”
“Understand”
Unlike the worst, it means that she has been like that since she was born.
Suddenly, the thought passed through Agent Jason’s head that Shion might have the same powers as the worst. Besides, even if it’s not just military force, if you apply the technology you have, it’s a weapon that can lightly destroy one or two countries…
“What do you do with that? If you just hack every bank and stock market in the world, the economy will collapse and it will self-destruct.”
“……Is it possible?”
“The Pentagon’s firewall was at Woodlock’s level”
“………..”
It doesn’t look like he’s joking.
And what added confidence to that was Zion’s actions so far. Even if there is no record prior to the last two years, in the records of those two years, even if he made money through stock investment or patents, he did not have any problems with taxes and did not show any dishonest behavior.
I don’t know if I’ve been able to take a situation to my advantage through a little bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of It’s legal. It just drastically shortened the process time.
“All I need is him. So if something happens, don’t worry, I’ll quietly move to Mars without making a fuss.”
“Mars… Is that possible?”
“Do you think I’m walking around the universe naked? I have my own spacecraft, and the decontamination equipment I lent to Russia was originally for terraforming. It’s very simple to terraform a planet and turn it into a habitable planet.”
A high pitched voice rang in Agent Jason’s ears. In the voices from the support team, the voices that couldn’t hide their excitement continued to be heard, so I took out my earphones in a fit of anger.
It is a level where you can see that you can have supremacy in this solar system beyond the world if you get just one of the previous technologies, as well as space development and terraforming.
He pondered over his coffee and then nodded his head.
“Do you have any wishes from us?”
“There is nothing”
I thought so.
What could Zion want from them because they lacked something? Money is just a value created by humans, and when it comes to gold, gold and diamonds are scattered throughout the universe. It’s annoying to find, but if you find it well, there are asteroids made entirely of gold or diamonds.
Power is meaningless beyond that, and in the end, there is no hand that can be presented to them.
“Even though you guys can’t offer anything, the reason I’m responding to the conversation like this is because you’ve done something for me.”
“That’s what you did… Did you already know?”
“Then you thought you wouldn’t know? Well, honestly, it didn’t matter if I left it alone. It would only add up to dozens of Chinese corpses.”
The worst thing to do is to injure and kill people rather than Shion. But that doesn’t mean Zion doesn’t kill people.
She’s a good person, but she’s not a nice person. She is kind to those she treats with kindness, and equally hostile to those who harbor enmity. She had no intention of allowing anyone to harm her friends.
“…Okay. Then I’ll just step back. But the arms of the United States are always open, so if you call me, I’ll come to you anytime.”
“Are you talking about aliens?”
“How is it that you are not an Earthling?”
“I’ll consider it. First of all, since he also received honorary US citizenship, and I was also a US citizen on paper, it would be easy for me to immigrate to the US… In fact, if you think about that, the documents that will have the effect of naturalization immediately with just one signature. Because I received it from Russia”
“We will prepare it right away. Please sign whenever you feel like it”
“It’s kind of weird to get an answer right away.”
“I can’t lose to a brown bear”
It is a matter of pride rather than a matter of politics. Since China is such a mess, the only country on earth that can compete with the United States is Russia, and the fight against the Soviet Union that has been going on since the Cold War is still not over.
As soon as you submit your report, the paperwork will come right away. Jason was sure it would be this time.
“It would be better to say that China is ruined and withdraw. Even if it remains, it will not be as strong as it used to be, so please fight against Russia as you please in Asia.”
“It looks like a pretty fierce war is about to break out…”
“Well, at least we’ll watch while eating popcorn. I’ll invite you to a housewarming party when we move to Mars later.”
“Let’s expect that. Please.”
By the time Agent Jason gets up from his seat. Ding-dong, I heard someone press the doorbell on the intercom.
On the screen on the interphone, a group of Westerners like Jason could be seen, but there were some people that Jason knew well, even if he didn’t know Zion.
“Ah, it looks like the brown bears are finally here.”
“Are you happy that you won this time?”
“Yes, of course. I plan to show the best smile I can when I go out.”
There were still many guests to come to Zion’s house.
It feels like there won’t be any coffee left to serve you.

After fighting the worst, Baek-ri, who lost consciousness, was floating in a world that did not know if it was a dream or reality.
Although dreams are a manifestation of the unconscious, even Baek-ri herself thinks that the sights around her are beautiful to say that they were created by her poor imagination.
“Here is…….?”
It took a long time to realize itself and it took shape. As he wiggled his hands, he realized that this was no mere lucid dream.
There was nothing around, but it was full of Gaia Force. The feeling as if he had come to the sea of Gaia Force filled his whole body.
“What did you do at the end… I passed out after being beaten by my older brother. Didn’t I just pass out and die?!”
The place where Baekri is is so beautiful that it can be called a different world. There was no boundary between the floor and the sky, and Gaia Force overflowed around, and there were stars like stars emitting various lights in all directions.
“Is that a star?”
[It’s not a star, it’s a soul]
“Uh…….?!”
Someone’s voice No, I heard the will.
It could be said that it was not a voice, but I had felt it once before even a hundred miles ago.
It’s because what I felt from the words I uttered when I declared war on the world before the worst went mad and smashed China was something that could be judged as a will beyond words and sounds.
[That is the light of the soul connected to all Force users. That’s why the color and brightness of the light shining on each soul is different.]
“Who are you?”
It’s not a sound, so you can’t tell where it’s coming from. Baekri looked around, but there was no sign of anyone, and even if there was, it seemed that he would not be able to notice it because he was swept away by the waves of Gaia Force overflowing around him.
[This is a place where ordinary souls cannot endure. Through the circuit I pierced, I can barely receive and use only a portion of that power, and the halfway soul is crushed by the pressure of the power the moment it enters.]
“Isn’t that scary?! And I’m fine?!”
[This time is an exception. I invited you on purpose because you have something to do.]
Suddenly, Baek-ri remembered some stories he had heard from the worst.
Gaia Force is not a force that springs from the natural world, but a circuit is engraved in the soul of an individual and supplied through it. And even deeper than that, it was said that there is a manager who coordinates everything beyond the circuit.
It was also at that time that Baekri forcibly widened the circuit with the worst and became a master user. So even if you don’t think deeply, you can’t help but remember.
“Are you that manager?”
[I’m right if you’re talking about someone who’s trying to make humanity capable of dealing with hostile species through the Gaia Force]
It’s probably Baekri’s first face-to-face encounter with the manager. Even the worst of them were kicked out as uninvited guests while crossing the circuit, so it was impossible to meet them unless they came here in person.
An administrator who keeps an eye on all Force users and gives them opportunities to awaken. The opponent in front of me was, in some ways, a bigger being than the worst.
If the worst was like a forged sword, the manager’s strength itself was different from the beginning. The magnitude of the force may be below the worst, but that doesn’t mean it can’t reach the manager.
“Um, um. I don’t know why you called me, but if we’re going to have a conversation, what should I call you? I’ll just call you manager…?”
When Baekri asked cautiously, the manager replied.
[There are several names, but if you choose a name that is familiar to you, call it ‘Alyssa Near’]
