Genius Engineer in the Labyrinth - Chapter 410



Only Noblemtl

Vacant space (5)

Allen’s wide-ranging magical interference brought the Antarctic believers to their knees, and the mass-produced Depth 6s that were resisting were also subdued by the Titan duo.

The large-scale power outage was quickly resolved because the magic line itself was not cut off. The visit from the police or the relevant officials was resolved favorably by Francois showing them the Breaker’s mark.

The morning sun rose. The sunlight seeped into every corner of the mess. Taylor, who had been watching blankly, looked at Nicola with a mischievous expression.

“Alan, do you know what he said when you were sleeping? That wasn’t romantic…”

“Inspiration!”

Nicola struggled desperately to cover Taylor’s mouth. Alan spoke instead of Taylor, who was interrupted.

“I heard that.”

“Your ears are nice too. Wait, what did you say?”

“Hey, that means you were awake. You didn’t help and just watched? We need to have a deeper conversation.”

Taylor and Nicola tried to stop the fight and set up a temporary hearing. Alan brought up the fact that he had been a patient before.

“At that time, I was only vaguely awake, and the procedure had been completed six hours ago.”

“I was just watching the battle when it started. You heard that, sir? Who do you think the sinister figure in the box resembles?”

François barged into the noisy place.

“I’m sorry to bother you, but I’d like you to finish the work. If you were awake, you would have listened to my request, right?”

“Yes. Now that we’re on the subject, let’s wrap it up.”

François pulled out a black cube the size of an adult’s head. When he touched its surface, it moved like sand, revealing its insides. There was a cylindrical ice steel storage box.

“It looks like a good place to put specimens.”

“I don’t know why you asked for blood, but I’m just following the Chairman’s orders.”

Since he had called, he had to pay. Alan took out more blood than Francois had requested with the syringe he had taken out of the box.

Taylor squinted his eyes and looked at the blood pack.

“Are you sure you pulled it out like that to experiment on my blood?”

“Yes. Are you okay now that you’re healthy?”

“What! Can you judge so rashly without even examining it properly?”

“I need to take blood for testing···.”

“Then you only need to draw a little. But look at the capacity of the blood pack in your hand. 1 liter? How is that a simple blood draw? Just stay still and do nothing.”

Taylor came into the house, carrying a large box of food that had been warmed up in the oven. A table for one was set up in the yard of the warehouse, and his colleagues and agents looked on.

“Eat quickly. You need to replenish what you lost. You don’t like it? Should I feed it to you?”

“Taylor’s out. I’ll do it.”

Zion got involved. Alan pushed away his colleagues and touched the food. He had long since graduated from caring about other people’s gazes.

My colleagues were chatting as they watched their plates gradually empty. They were even more surprised than the child who saw magic for the first time when they saw the noticeably increased amount of food.

“Brother Alan, the speed at which you clear your plates is amazing. It’s a great change.”

“He used to be a slurper, but now he’s eating like a slurper. Wow, did you see that? He just finished a whole steak.”

Even if they were half the size of a palm, they were still one. And Alan’s fork and knife were still floating around on the table.

“It’s nice to see you. You too, Zion.”

François smiled faintly and disappeared with his men. Since Alan had been watching from the beginning, there were patients being carried away, but no deaths.

Alan ate his fill and got up from his seat. While Taylor was cleaning up, Zion came over to him.

“I mean blood.”

“yes.”

“Can I just give it to you? You know what happened to Katan, right?”

“The chairman seemed to know why I was going to the 58th floor. He must have known exactly what I got. I wonder if there was anything he didn’t know.”

“That’s right···.”

“If the Chairman were to consider me a test subject, would he prefer me alive or dead?”

Zion’s eyes were spinning. He was confused, standing between Chairman Jake, who he thought was his whole world, and the newcomer, Allen.

Alan watched Zion like that and snapped his fingers. A sound that was hard to believe was coming from Alan’s body resonated loudly.

“Those who have studied the corpses of Katan will know this in their hearts.”

“what?”

“The fact that there is no way to implement it properly.”

“There are people like you who suffer from hypermania.”

Nicola, who had been listening quietly, joined the conversation.

“Even so, they’re just other people. If you study to improve yourself, do you think you’ll feel at peace if you only do good things for others? Wait a minute, what if we just swap brains?”

The cases that Nicola mentioned often existed. It was about growing a body based on one’s own genes and changing the body when one was old or suffering from an incurable disease. However, because there were side effects, most people replaced it with magic wear, and the wealthy preferred the elixir of life.

Alan corrected his colleagues’ misconceptions before answering Nicola’s question.

“Few people know the relationship between Katan’s body and his excessive magical powers.”

“I said that because I’m Nana Zion. So what about the brain?”

“I don’t think that will work.”

“Explain. Don’t keep it to yourself. Quickly!”

“Nicola’s hypothesis holds true if the hyper-magic is limited to the physical body.”

“There are other reasons besides the body? Is the soul involved too?”

“Maybe?”

Alan looked at himself with his now more powerful spiritual eyes. Inside the translucent figure that resembled a mannequin, there was a brilliant light near the center of its chest.

It was like the sun. If you kept a reasonable distance, it would give you a blessing like a sea, but if you got close, it would burn everything.

Every patient with hypermania holds a sun in their arms, big or small. So they will always be groaning and die young.

The Blessed Heart was originally supposed to be visible only to the Ma-an, but it was also captured by the enhanced Spiritual Eye. This was the basis for speculating that the soul was also involved.

Alan threw a tantrum to his colleagues and took off his power suit. His physical performance had changed so much that it was difficult to even walk.

Shiva smiled faintly at the sight.

“It looks like the little brothers are taking their first steps.”

“I remember that time. My parents were really happy when I took my first step.”

“Do you remember when you were a baby? When did you start talking?”

“I was able to express myself even when I was just walking. My tongue was short, so pronunciation was difficult.”

“How did your parents react?”

“The other kids didn’t say anything, so I just stayed quiet.”

Shiva was speechless and just stroked his beard. Taylor, who was just coming out of the house, heard Alan’s words.

“If you’re so good at empathizing, why are you like this now?”

“I was quite emotional when I was young. It’s interesting to think about it now.”

“So the treatment is completely finished?”

“The limitations on lifespan have disappeared.”

As soon as Taylor heard that, he burst into applause. His colleagues did the same, and the box also hit the mechanical hand. The little boy was happy because everyone was happy.

“But you still have to get it twice more to be completely finished.”

“Catan was completed in one go.”

“There were enough materials, and he didn’t have hyper-magic.”

“I guess there are individual differences. What is needed for the procedure?”

“A heart imbued with magic and a special heart.”

“The former refers to a powerful monster, right?”

“People too.”

“Do you really need to add that? And special? I feel uneasy when those words come out of your mouth···.”

“Blue Lady, Leviathan, Eight Banner Ambassadors, Frost Ivory···.”

“Stop, stop! The names alone are dizzying. Are you a dragonfly saint?”

“The best material, if you can get it.”

Nicola said, looking at the little boy hanging around Alan.

“Did you hear? Grow up quickly.”

Boom!

A sudden drop of water burst and soaked Nicola. The boy hid behind Alan and stared at Nicola quietly.

“Even if you don’t know the meaning, you will understand the nuance.”

“The kid might be playing around. It’s a good thing it’s hot out.”

Nicola pushed back his wet hair. His blond hair sparkled brilliantly in the sunlight.

“You look really normal.”

“They say you can’t judge a person by their appearance.”

Taylor and Sheba whispered. Of course, it was loud enough for everyone present to hear.

As Nicola said, it was midsummer and the temperature was high from the morning. The believers roughly piled up by the leopard and automaton were writhing under the scorching sun.

Alan observed the attackers from under the awning.

“Does anyone know why they attacked?”

“You will be cursed!”

“Tch!”

Of course, only bad words came back.

Boom!

The boy shot a water drop at them in anger. Then he looked at Alan as if asking if they had done well. It was a reward for them suffering from the heat, but Alan patted the boy on the head lightly.

‘It’s hung on gold like Decimus.’

He stretched his hand forward and grabbed the air. He pulled hard at the colorful threads that were visible only to Ma-an.

As soon as all the threads were cut, the believers who had been cursing suddenly became silent. They also had expressions of not knowing what was going on.

“Does anyone know why I attacked you? If you answer first, I’ll just let you go.”

The murmuring among them grew louder and louder until one of them managed to speak.

“I was only told to deal with dangerous people.”

“Haven’t you ever wondered why?”

“that···.”

“Since you answered, I will let you go.”

Alan kept his promise. The freed believer left the warehouse with a confused look on his face.

Let’s really liberate them, the lips of the rest became very light. But the words they uttered had no nutritional value at all.

“There is no useful information.”

“Please let me go too!”

“Why?”

“I told you everything.”

“Did I make that promise?”

As Alan tilted his head, silence fell over the room. The automaton led them away, and the masked believers were dragged towards the leopard.

Taylor, who was resting next to him, asked.

“What are you going to do?”

“The material is worthless···.”

“Oh my, ingredients. You have to choose your words carefully.”

“I’m going to hand you over to the police.”

“What about the purification service group of the Mother Church?”

“I thought about that too, but if we get attacked, Shiva will be in trouble.”

“As expected, you’re kind.”

Nicola, who was listening nearby, furrowed his brow. The box patted his shoulder as if it understood.

Alan observed the masked believers. The mass-produced Depth 6 was much stronger than Depth 5, but it was inferior to the real thing.

I asked Gold Mask and Silver Mask about what I had heard while watching the fight in the Ice Steel Hall.

“You said it was a prophecy? What do you mean?”

“Commit suicide.”

“yes?”

“You have been touched by the Leader’s foresight when you visited Tilly. You are the seed of destruction.”

“Me?”

The gold mask and the silver mask were silent. Alan touched the gold on their heads. The moment the magic thread was removed.

pop!

The head bulged and then immediately exploded. Even though Alan tried to block it by holding onto his magic, it was no use. [Seal] The inside of the blue barrier made of runes turned bright red.

“Miss, this is a surprise.”

“Your heart is fine.”

Taylor and Alan’s reactions were starkly different. Taylor stepped back, while Alan manipulated the spider to remove the body.

Taylor asked as she watched Nicola take care of the heart separately.

“Aren’t you going to stop talking like usual?”

“Since he’s dead anyway, it would be nice if he could be used as fertilizer for Allen. Those guys would be happy too.”

As the two talked, Alan came to a conclusion.

“It must be the power of a decisive weapon.”

“what?”

“Depth 6 Yangsan and gold reinforcement. I’ll have to set foot on 7 to touch it.”

“How are you now?”

“It would be around 6.7···, 6.8.”

The remaining 0.2 is a much longer and more difficult journey than the 0.8 we have already walked. It is not for nothing that depth 7 in the Eastern Continent is called the “Entry into the Divine Realm.”

But Taylor’s feelings were different.

“You tend to speak conservatively, so I guess you’re almost there.”

“well.”

“It’s really strange when I think about our first meeting.”

“When you sit in a wheelchair and drool?”

“Thank you for the detailed explanation.”

“you’re welcome.”

The box of materials that Alan was gathering next to suddenly stopped.

“Why are you like that?”

“The automaton attached to the broker and mercenary sent a signal.”

Beep!

The box nodded in agreement and passed the magic signal to Alan. Alan immediately interpreted the meaning contained in the signal.

“First of all, the broker’s backer was Eldorado Bank.”

“Those kids still haven’t come to their senses.”

“I guess you’re upset because I took the Titan.”

“I guess you’ve had some free time since the Tilly incident and the beatings from Soldos. Dwarves are really sensitive about their wealth. Wait, what about the mercenaries? Could it be from somewhere else?”

“I think it was a double contract. I can feel Shanlong’s influence slightly.”
