How to Live Immortally Episode 334
334 That will be revealed little by little.
Negotiations break down, and Blake disappears from sight like a mirage.
Snow White, with her hand on her forehead, looked up at Ivan, who had returned from District 39.
“Ivan. Gaon, that kid?”
“I went to the police station, but he wasn’t there. I think he ran away from the group that attacked the place. I can’t even contact him, so I think he’s hiding somewhere deep inside.”
When the time comes, it will appear on its own.
Baekseol, who knew how cold-hearted Gaon was, did not worry and moved on to the next step.
“Any additional articles?”
“We have put pressure on the existing media outlets and have organized our own rebuttal reports. This will not spread any further.”
Ivan, who was appointed to replace Im Sol, showed off his abilities without holding back. Even though it was his first time taking on the job, his work was extremely neat.
Snow White was more than happy to do it, but he was not without his flaws. You could call him an extreme elitist. He was merciless to those he deemed unqualified.
“But we can’t just sit by and watch. Baek Ga-on, now that he has been disqualified, the pursuit of the public prosecutor has no choice but to continue.”
-Exactly like this.
“So, how about we at least transfer the certificate? Prime Solutions will step forward. My father is also seriously considering it.”
If Ivan’s father is the chairman of Prime Solutions and a top number, the proxy war might be resolved a little more easily if he steps forward.
Because Mastop has been so viciously suppressing Gaon, the other candidates will recognize him as Baekdu’s champion.
What if you try to turn things around in that situation?
It could be a turning point.
“So let’s change the projector?”
“That’s the best.”
“I trust my brother.”
Before the proxy war began, the promise I made with Gaon still lingered in my heart. How could the oath die down when the flames of that oath had not yet died down?
“Even if it determines the fate of the company?”
“So, my decision will never change.”
“It is an irrational judgment. Baekdu is now at a crossroads of whether to become a member of the board of directors or not. How can he refuse the help of an expert just because of one half-brother?”
“The fact that he was able to escape from Mastop’s grasp without a hitch seems to prove the child’s abilities.”
“Isn’t it just that he escaped during the confusion caused by the intervention of a third party? It was a stroke of luck.”
“That will be revealed little by little.”
Snow White, who had Ivan leave with a single gesture, turned her chair around and looked out the window.
It was then that her reflection on the outer glass wall changed positions on its own.
Soon, the illusion projected on the opposite side begins to rustle.
“Why don’t you take a look at your hands? That kind of guy always causes trouble.”
That’s another personality that I became aware of a while ago.
Perhaps because it was a collection of thoughts that had been separated from my childhood experiences, my clone’s nature was impulsive and spontaneous.
To put it nicely, she was a courageous heroine, but to put it badly, she was an irresponsible tyrant.
But for some reason, I didn’t hate her for being like that. In fact, I even felt close to her.
As if we were best friends since birth.
That was also why he didn’t acknowledge her existence and didn’t make a fuss about wanting to treat her.
In fact, it was also because I was trying to gauge what kind of abilities she had on the other side of her consciousness.
It is clear that he is an extraordinary partner in many ways, and Snow White gave him a name to distinguish himself from others by highlighting his dark side.
Namely―
“Black snow.”
“why?”
“There needs to be a clear basis for rewards and punishments. This is especially true for a huge organization like Megacorp. If I abuse my power based solely on my own suspicions, who would follow me?”
“Humans are contradictory. There are no rules to their actions. Everything is divided into doing or not doing. Based on a momentary emotion.”
“We are human because we can even choose that for ourselves.”
“Haha, is that really so?”
As if telling us to just wait, another personality, Heukseol, puts a line on his lips.

Ivan left the chairman’s office and walked for a while in silence.
This conversation only made it clear that Snow White’s will could not be broken.
Suddenly.
Crack your molars without anyone knowing.
He is often evaluated as being honest to the outside world, but that is not his true nature, but rather a poker face he acquired while serving in the military.
The only thing that had changed from before was my self-control and patience, but my mind was no different from the raging waves.
The sense of superiority ingrained in our minds refused to accept reality.
Since he came from a problem-solving company, he knew very well how useless the problem-solving group was.
They were to be objects of guidance, never of following.
Why would Prime Solutions only hire people who have served in the Mars Defense Force?
This was because everyone thought that there was no answer within the existing system.
Of course, there are some real ones among them, but they are exceptions among exceptions. Each and every one of them is a different species, a mutant.
It couldn’t even be considered a standard.
This also applies to Gaon.
I admit that his skills are outstanding, but I don’t think he can compete with a highly specialized group.
so-
I didn’t know that Snow White’s stubbornness would come closer.
This is an act of ignoring Prime Solutions, which has been loyal to Baekdu for generations.
If he had been a big shot, then it would have been different. But the one he chose as the fighter was Aesong, and he was his own younger brother at that.
I gave advice with a heavy heart, hoping to escape from the delusion, but the result was a huge failure.
“It can’t go on like this.”
Ivan had also participated in conflicts between colonies. Snow White had no idea how fierce and merciless war was.
If someone doesn’t correct it, Baekdu will collapse quickly.
As soon as he made up his mind, Ivan started operating the device.
“Yes, Chairman. I will accept the offer you mentioned last time.”
* * *
A corner of District 39.
Gaon, who spent the night in an abandoned building on the verge of collapse, relaxed slightly. It seemed that communication restoration was delayed due to the nature of the shade.
The proof is that the device printed out the message that it was out of range as if it were a given.
Of course, it was the perfect place for Gaon.
Until his name was cleared, he was destined to avoid patrol drones.
It was not too late to contact Snow White after analyzing the information and regrouping.
Because somehow dealing with the projection is the priority.
As it turned out, there was one thing.
An item that was safely stored in the evidence vault until last night.
“Dobby, are you there?”
Take out the probe and call your friend.
In the restricted communications of Area 39, trying to contact someone was like waiting for lightning to strike, but Dobby had his own personal satellite.
What does that mean―
[I was waiting]
It meant that direct communication was possible without going through MTI.
“Did you check the report they were trying to omit?”
[then]
The reason I was dragged into the police station was to gather information. If I had been instigated by Mastop and tried to manipulate the incident, there would have been internal documents that could serve as the original.
The special agent probably had no idea.
Who would have thought that the evidence he took would actually become a medium for hacking?
[The 15mm supersonic bullets used to kill Carlos and Christopher were also tuned for long range. The sniper rifle compatible with these bullets appears to be a type of electrothermal chemical cannon.]
“It’s a custom-made item to increase firepower.”
[That’s right, because the purpose is limited, not many people actually buy it]
It is only natural that as demand is limited, there are fewer suppliers.
There, unlike riflemen who could do anything as long as they pulled the trigger, snipers were professionals who required highly advanced training.
To lower the barrier to entry, slots and units for convenience were developed in large numbers, but this tendency has become more severe.
That could also be confirmed by the sniping from the other day.
[Among them, there are only a few people who can hit a hole the size of a grain of rice from 6 kilometers away as you said. There is only one person in the seed colony right now.]
“Who is it?”
[Shirley Taylor. She was discharged as a lieutenant colonel from the Mars Defense Forces 7 years ago.]
The resume that Dobby sent me was incredibly impressive.
Shirley Taylor, she was a special forces agent specializing in dealing with alien species, and she traveled all over Mars, eradicating all harmful creatures.
There were over 50 operations in which I participated.
As the number suggests, the number of medals is six. At this point, we should consider him a war hero.
As expected, it is said that he was called the ‘Ghost of the Magic Bullet’ because he never missed a target he had set.
I could vaguely guess what kind of perfect shot she was pursuing.
“Are you a person specialized in killing living things?”
Looking back, there was no bullet that missed Shirley’s mark. She was a perfect marksman, worthy of being called a 100% marksman. Judging from her accomplishments, it was likely that the 6 kilometers were just the beginning.
Because it was a sniper’s virtue to hide the extent of his own limits.
[Some say that he was recommended to be transferred to a disciplinary unit… … .]
“You were dishonorably discharged.”
The downfall of a promising prospect.
Even if you just look at it, you can tell that there is a secret hidden inside that you cannot speak of carelessly.
[I have to look through the records kept by the Mars Defense Forces to find out more. That’s the best I can get.]
“It’s okay. I don’t want to know your personal details.”
Just finding out the sniper’s identity would be a huge achievement.
“Then can I ask you for something else?”
[Don’t talk to me so kindly, I’m getting anxious]

If there was one thing we learned from the last engagement, it was that one of the candidates was constantly trying to keep Baekdu in check. It wasn’t an action to gain an advantage in the competition.
It was obvious that they were trying to obstruct the process by disregarding efficiency.
The terror that was committed against Snow White,
The attack on Gaon,
What lured the swordsman was also,
All of this pressure was put on the public.
Of course, the candidates who intervened could have been different from what was expected. But that was just a naive expectation. The unity was too strong to just sit back and watch.
MTI is a strong candidate, but it definitely had to be mentioned.
If it weren’t for them, the penalty they would have had to bear would have been considerable. It would be absurd to laugh it off and say it was just a fluke.
Fortunately, since the four clues were interconnected, it seemed obvious that just unraveling one string would reveal the path.
