Episode 149. Creating the Environment (1)

“The problem is the muscle movement here. If you look at it frame by frame, you can clearly see heterogeneous movements…….”

Data was piling up. Top analysts were analyzing his movements.

“The weapon used at short range is an ordinary rifle. I don’t know how it was made, but I brought it as a weapon for war… For now, it’s a standard-issue rifle.”

Footage from numerous cameras was thoroughly analyzing the gun he was holding.

“The firepower is strange.”

“The bullets are the problem. They seem to be using a high-energy output source that is not normally used in making weapons.”

Although I had confirmed the information through other routes, I still couldn’t say that it was from an individual.

“The same goes for weapons used at long range. They use huge beam weapons, but they seem to have made them a bit too lightweight.”

“What is the basis?”

“If you look at the destruction radius and the beam trajectory, it is very similar to Hansan’s small warship. It seems to be operating after removing all safety devices, aiming aids, and power sources to prevent accidents.”

“Okay… what’s next?”

The man with the visor moves. His image in the video zooms in and repeats.

“If you look at the movement of this leg, you can clearly see that it has an autonomic nerve implant.”

“Based on the movement of the eyes and the reaction of the body, it is not clear that he saw it and avoided it. He may have been wearing an implant that analyzes the battle situation with external sensors and moves his muscles….”

It wasn’t really that great of an item. There were countless implants in this world, and there were countless implants that moved muscles.

“This time, it seems like they used a body acceleration device. The output is… Normally, it’s hard to find movement at this speed.”

It can’t be said that it’s completely impossible. If Hansan’s top-class combat force focuses only on acceleration without worrying about their lives, they could show such speed.

“……What a contradiction.”

When you look at them one by one, there is nothing that can be determined as ‘impossible.’

But there were so many things that couldn’t be contained within the body of the man wearing the visor.

“It’s something that can’t be used together with autonomic nerve implants and body acceleration implants. If it’s a body enhancement device of that level, it’s impossible to put a power source inside.”

It’s unrealistic.

Moving your muscles is not an easy task.

Although this era is not so bad that we cannot properly control ‘bipedal robot walking’, walking on two legs requires a lot of effort, technology, and calculation.

And the software that makes that possible can, of course, only be run by a normal human leg, or one fitted with an implant from a company that’s linked to the software.

“The power source is… just as you said. That small body, even though it was hit several times, nothing exploded….”

The man’s physique was not small, but that did not mean he was small by human standards.

He’s powering a massive energy weapon all by himself. If he were to utilize a body accelerator that fast, he’d need additional power beyond just brute force.

“Did you just thoughtlessly put in implants that can’t be used together……”

“The power is power, but… the brain won’t be able to handle it. If I use just one of them, I’ll have to worry about the side effects of the implants, but if I use all of them at once….”

Impossible. If the common implant side effects are closer to drug side effects, then what he was doing was like being in a bathtub full of drugs.

This is not a ‘side effect’ in the general sense, but rather a situation where you should be afraid of drowning.

They are doing things that should be impossible in common sense, as if they are receiving ‘game permission’.

“Let’s stop here.”

It’s strong.

Of course, the last wound we inflicted on the visored man wasn’t going to be that serious.

Nevertheless, I had no illusions that I could catch the bastard easily.

It might be able to hold out longer. It might appear from somewhere with a new arm, and it might persistently run away and hinder us no matter how much we chase it.

“Let’s stop here for today.”

But it’s not like there’s no way to respond. We’re an organization, and he’s an individual.

“I’ll go first. I have to prepare for the press conference.”

“Yes, sir!”

It may be presumptuous to say that an individual cannot bring down an organization, but at least when such an event occurs, there are warning signs to follow.

We need another organization to take advantage of the changes and confusion that the individual creates. It doesn’t have to be an organization, but at least there have to be people who follow his will.

People want to follow someone who is worth following. The person above must be either morally blameless or powerful enough to cover it up.

What matters is the image.

People want to be strong. It is important to have an image of being ‘good’, but equally important is the image of being ‘strong’.

“Have you prepared the data screen? Since it’s going through the official route, there shouldn’t be any false information mixed in.”

“No problem. It’s perfect.”

If the man wearing the visor had slipped into the hands of the corporation within Stella City, the goal of those who had plotted it was obvious and simple.

It is to erase the image of Hansan as strong. No one will be afraid of Hansan, and he can cause chaos in the city without worry.

If it’s just to settle the situation right now, it’s better for him to be strong.

People would rather see Hansan struggling against a ‘worthy opponent’ than struggling against a ‘criminal of nothing’.

But now that the situation has been sorted out to some extent, there is no need for the man wearing the visor to be an ‘unknown monster that cannot be dealt with’.

They have to be made funny. They have to be perceived as ‘nothing, just human’, just like they tried to do with Hansan.

We need to shatter thoughts like, ‘How could Hansan make an effort to catch petty criminals like us when that kind of guy is running wild?’

We need to turn thoughts like, ‘Shouldn’t we be protecting ourselves when there’s such a scary thing walking around?’ into a stupid and ridiculous worry.

I arrived at the broadcasting station that I was now familiar with. Numerous cameras were looking at me.

I was the leader of Hansan, and I had no choice but to take responsibility for it. I had to pay a considerable amount of compensation, and I had to bow my head repeatedly before the sacrificed citizens.

However, responsibility is not something that is given only to the leader of Hansan who carries everything on his shoulders.

Everyone must shoulder the responsibilities appropriate to their social position.

Stories that were extremely ordinary flowed.

Greetings, stories related to the broadcasting station, recent events.

It was a conversation that might have felt a bit boring, but the broadcasting station staff were waiting with anticipation for me to open my mouth.

“There was another painful…… incident recently. What do you think about it, Hansan?”

“Of course, something that should not have happened happened. Once again, a tragedy has struck this city.”

But the mourning was short-lived. I opened my eyes wide and waved my hands.

In time with the signal, numerous videos began to flow out.

“But this city is strong. The police quickly surrounded him, and he is on the run.”

A man with a comically edited visor was running wildly down the street.

Anyone who knows how to analyze weapons would be shocked and say, ‘You survived being hit by that?’, but most people living in Stella City do not have that kind of expertise.

Not many people knew exactly how much firepower the weapons of war could wield, let alone the guns or simple implants they could use directly.

“Of course, it’s true that he’s… faster than we thought. But even after this chase, we found the criminal’s hideout twice, and attacked him twice.”

Of course, the process was not smooth. He was not easily captured, and there were deaths in the process of resisting.

But the important thing is the image. You have to show that he is losing, that standing on the same side as him and doing the same thing is far from winning.

“But didn’t you still not know the identity of the criminal?”

“Of course, there wasn’t a proper investigation at the time of the first raid. However, Stella City continued to track him and was able to find a lot of information.”

That was the main point. The reason so many broadcasters cheered my visit was because they wanted to get the criminal’s personal information first.

“Evan Blake. A lowly criminal from Blakron.”

Your face, your actions, the clothes you usually wear, what you post on the internet, the games you play.

A lot of information was floating in the air. In this way, he lost the mystery he had been holding.

By not being a great villain and a symbol of crime, but by just being an ordinary human being.
