Episode 161. Eyes and Ears (2)

“Gyaaaah!”

Ravina ran quickly through the darkness.

“Someone grab that…….”

I was worried that she might get hurt. But the others were looking at Ravina as if she didn’t care.

“Wow, it definitely feels less scary when there’s someone to be scared instead of me. It’s good that you brought me. I told you several times that I was scared, but no one believed me. Does that make sense?”

“Yeah, yeah.”

I gently stroked Doris’s head, which was clinging to my arms. She closed her eyes and enjoyed my touch.

“Ravina~ is a coward. She’s a coward~ She’s a cowardoooooo.”

“Hilda, your implants aren’t even connected yet. You won’t be able to see anything anyway!”

“If you don’t like it, then give it to me! You said you weren’t scared at all before you came in here, didn’t you? You said you were an adult too!”

“This haunted house is not open to anyone under the age of 19! It’s a place that scares adults!”

“You came in knowing that too, right?”

“So, ugh. Gyaaaaaaah!!! Over there! Up there! The white-clothed ghost!”

“I told you. I can’t see it.”

“Save me!!!”

Her voice was urgent, but judging from Ravina’s expression, she seemed to be enjoying herself.

“Aren’t you scared?”

Luna was surprisingly calm. If you look closely, you can see that she flinched and was startled from time to time, but she didn’t scream or sway.

It was such a small movement that it would be imperceptible if not observed carefully, and it was nothing compared to the reactions of Doris and Ravina, who were clearly visible.

“Ah, it’s a kind of occupational disease. When I see a well-made hologram, the first thing that comes to mind is what program was used to create it…….”

“It’s a bit surprising when a shape suddenly appears before your eyes, but if you keep looking at it, you’ll feel the unique sense of incongruity that comes with a hologram.”

Come to think of it, Luna had quite a bit of talent as a hacker.

“Do you also work in graphics?”

“Sometimes I do it on outsourcing. Well, it’s not like a good job comes to someone who can’t even properly prove their identity.”

“You must have had a hard time… But, is it okay if I speak freely? You’re both Doris’ friends anyway.”

Luna glanced in my direction and sighed deeply.

“Can’t you see?”

“That’s true, though.”

“I know a lot… How could I talk to a high-ranking official of Hansan who doesn’t have a single implant?”

“Come to think of it, the San family’s woman was following you too. Well… come to think of it, you had no intention of hiding anything, did you?”

When I first met them, I never imagined that our relationship would become this deep.

“But anyway, it turned out like this in the end. You can talk freely too.”

Even in the world I knew, Luna’s identity was mostly shrouded in mystery.

I never thought that she would be the daughter of Elecharmony. I even less imagined that the fact that I found out would be the cause of Elecharmony’s collapse.

“There was a reason why his relationships with women were so messy. And it was strange that no one talked about it… I thought it was because of Hansan’s information control, but there might have been another reason.”

“Hey, hey. Wait a minute-.”

“It’s almost over. Let’s go.”

Luna went ahead. As she said, it seemed like we were nearing the end of a long ‘haunted house’.

“Hey, hey, how long are you going to be scared…? Hurry up….”

Doris, who seemed fine, was also trembling. Sansuhwa tapped her on the back.

“Go ahead, miss.”

“Whoa!”

Rather than being scary, the atmosphere was too noisy. I followed Ravina, who was the first to run out, and headed toward the end of the dark road.

“You know. So when we were on a mission, Ravenna shot over my head, and her hands happened to be slippery from sweat. The recoil caused the gun to bounce up and-.”

Doris and I, who were the first to get off the roller coaster, moved to a restaurant to make a reservation.

“So I yelled, ‘Hey!’ and when I turned around, bullets were pouring down towards Ravina……”

When I held her in my arms, covered in blood, at Hansan Tower, I was not without a hint of worry.

It wasn’t that what I said back then was a lie. However, I was a member of Hansan, and depending on the situation, there was a possibility that I wouldn’t be able to do ‘such a drastic action’.

But contrary to my fears, placating Doris was quite easy and simple.

It was enough to just listen to her story. It took time, but it wasn’t boring.

A quick look at Doris’s collarbone revealed another implant I hadn’t seen before.

“What is this?”

“I just got a new one. Isn’t it cool?”

It’s not strange.

Mercenaries and gang members who are obsessed with the ‘money’ to purchase implants try to get as many implants as possible without calculating how long they can last.

But Doris is not one of them.

The private soldiers on the corporate side, who were relatively free from financial constraints, tried to wear the most powerful implants ‘for as long as they could endure’.

And the ‘implant side effects’ that Doris had were so mild that other people would laugh at them if they saw them.

The way to resolve it is so easy. It may not be a light condition to talk to ‘Han San-woo’, but at least she can resolve her implant side effects just by talking to me while I am there.

Other side effect sufferers say things like, “I consume food that could feed hundreds of people just out of greed,” or “I brutally kill hundreds of people in front of me,” but the side effects cannot be resolved without doing these things. These side effects can be resolved just through conversations like this.

“Yeah, that’s cool.”

The story continued. Doris’s eyes sparkled.

“Oh, here we come!”

The rearguard was approaching. Sansuhwa, Luna and Ravina, and Hilda wearing a rabbit costume.

Doris waved at them. Ravina ran toward Doris with a bright smile.

In a dark room, dozens of people wearing suits were gathered together.

“Shouldn’t someone be held responsible?”

All the businessmen trembled at the words uttered by a young man.

It was something everyone wanted to say. At the same time, it was something no one wanted to hear.

I wanted to blame other businesspeople for what happened, but I didn’t want to hear people accusing me of being responsible.

“We didn’t spend a small amount of money here. We paid a huge amount to hire that kid and make the operation a success!”

Evan was able to escape the Hansan event mostly through his own strength. But he didn’t move for free.

Although it may not have been a large sum from the company’s perspective, it was not an easy amount to cover with just ‘unidentifiable slush funds’.

“It was cool when the venue exploded…… but there was no next time!”

The same goes for the bomb. Those who committed crimes while installing it were all sent to prison by the angry Hansan. They lost many things.

From a company’s perspective, it was no different from a sin if the results did not match the invested capital.

“We all agreed that we needed a strong variable that could shake Hansan.”

An older businessman stopped a young businessman.

“Besides, if you think about it, you can’t say that this problem arose because Evan was weak.”

“Be honest with me. When this plan first came into effect, did you think Evan would come out alive?”

No one answered that question. All they expected from Evan was for him to be a bio-bomb, just to create confusion.

“The chaos has been created. There will be companies that take advantage of it… and there will be companies that don’t.”

“Haven’t we failed at our most important goal? Hansan is still standing!”

“The money spent on Blacrone must have been considerable. The money spent on weapons must have been considerable as well… Even if he appears fine on the outside, he must have suffered internal injuries, so wouldn’t it be better to wait calmly?”

As the old businessman finished speaking, voices of agreement were heard here and there.

“That, that seems right! If we argue about the pros and cons here, wouldn’t it just divide the people who have barely gathered? Hansan won’t fall if we fight each other.”

“That seems right. I don’t think we can come to a conclusion even if we look at right and wrong.”

The older businessman took a quick look at the atmosphere and smiled leisurely.

Their company, General Techina, had achieved satisfactory results. Although they were unable to contain Hansan, the war itself did not disappear.

Corporations competitively purchased mercenaries and weapons, and General Techina benefited greatly.

“But… it is true that Hansan is maintaining his position without being checked. Even so, it would be foolish to fight Hansan head-on.”

“Are you scared?”

“Of course. Hansanmok is moving right over there in Blakron, and Hansanwoo has shown that he is no pushover when he puts his all into it. There is no need to heighten the enemy’s alertness.”

The old businessman smiled slyly.

“This time… we have to fight within their rules. Even so, we will win.”
