How to Live Immortally Episode 318

318 I hope you accept me as your disciple

Transactions between members were arranged by the Ark.

A route that passes through numerous delivery drones to ensure that the location cannot be determined, and eventually arrives at a storage locker at a hyperloop stop with extremely high floating population.

The password was only given to Gaon.

No, now there were two.

“I promised to play mahjong with you guys.”

Aimer, who got into the vehicle while grumbling, had a sealed case in his hand.

“Is this correct?”

“okay.”

Security was something that was not enough no matter how careful you were.

Tracking down a specific person at a Hyperloop stop is difficult, but not impossible, so after careful consideration, we called in reinforcements.

Isn’t this what a foodie is supposed to do in times like this?

Moreover, unlike regular androids, Aimer did not have primary-colored hair. At times, she could even harm humans without hesitation.

This is truly the best personnel choice.

“Then please drop me off on the way. I’m a little late, but I don’t think I’ll miss out.”

“I don’t know who’s the boss.”

“Of course you are the boss. Otherwise, would I just quietly play the role of relief pitcher?”

Gaon threw the whining Aimer in a suitable place and headed straight for Oramatic Bionics.

Third corpse, core.

An alien substance whose very existence must not be detected.

It would be ideal to start researching on one’s own with Veda’s help, but it was not something that Gaon, who had no professional knowledge, could handle.

Moreover, the only reason he saved the core was to avoid any potential friction with Third.

It was ridiculous to delay the timing because of the compulsion to keep it a secret.

In that respect, Croft was the perfect fit.

If he has in-depth knowledge in various fields, he will have the core and be able to produce visible results.

In addition, we had already established a common front similar to a community of shared destiny. We were able to deal with any situation that arose.

“What is that?”

“A new research topic.”

“We haven’t even finished analyzing the acceleration that Gaon brought us yet.”

“You can do that later. Just take care of this first.”

When Gaon opens the sealed case, an object wrapped in memory foam is revealed.

A metal that looks like grains.

Its perfectly spherical surface was as smooth as a mirror. Croft stared blankly at his own face reflected in the core and soon opened his mouth.

“If Mr. Gaon says so, it must be an extraordinary substance. What do you want to do with it? To replicate it? To decompose it?”

“I want a way to break it.”

After scratching it once with the white night as a test, there was not a single scratch on the surface of the core. Evidence that it had deviated from the laws of physics, even if only partially.

But because of that, hope has bloomed.

As you study the core, you will come across a way to strike the third.

“It will help you too. It has something to do with the Box Project.”

The term ‘small box’ as described in the Doomsday Manual.

It was essential to contact the doomsayers, if only to find out what they meant. But for some reason, they had become the targets of the Third.

If I wanted to know the truth, I had to have at least some cards that could protect my safety even if I had to collide.

“My responsibility is enormous. By the way, my connection to the destructionists? This is a dark place to be.”

“Then I’ll ask you to take good care of it. Depending on what you discover, our next course of action will be determined.”

“Okay, I understand.”

After Gaon left, Croft, who was about to place the core on the analytical scale and begin a full-scale investigation, opened his eyes wide as he stopped recording.

“What on earth did you bring?”

[0.000㎍]

The core had no weight.

Pushik―

Acceleration and development, and injecting the blood ampoules of the preparation into the hormone regulator. A new routine that was created after entering the third stage of immortality. Now that I can borrow the abilities of other metahumans, I had to train accordingly.

If there’s one thing I’ve learned from continuous use, it’s that there are no thoughts on abilities implemented with nectar.

In other words, the talents that would have emerged if humanity had evolved in that direction for hundreds of years were at most.

Because of this, there was no reason to escape from the factors other than the growth of immortality.

Although it has the disadvantage of having clear limitations, that can be compensated for with technology.

[Arahan 4th Form of the Positive]

Suddenly, acceleration and development are dually manifested. The awakened neuromuscular system leaps into the realm of the superhuman.

Busy modern people would need the help of the Brain series to deal with two or more disparate traits at the same time, but Gaon was not one of them.

I was able to divide my consciousness into two entirely by my own free will.

It is a supernatural technique that even controls the subconscious.

If you combine martial arts skills instead of just half-assed abilities, you’ll get a synergy that’s beyond imagination, but so far, all Gaon has collected is the Thousand-Hand Thousand Eyes.

Since martial arts are highly regarded even within Ryungyeong, it is only natural that Gaon, an outsider, cannot easily access them.

When he got tired of dismantling and reassembling the widely spread martial arts, Gaon got up from his seat.

Now that I had gathered the insights from my last assignment, it was time to apply them.

* * *

Cleansing out street gangs who were collecting money from innocent citizens, arresting researchers who had embezzled public funds and were trying to escape to another colony, reporting general contractors who had shifted responsibility to subcontractors, and so on—I’ve been doing nothing but taking care of commissions for the past few days.

It was only natural that the unit price would increase as the fame increased. Fernandez, who was receiving the brokerage fee, also smiled.

But Gaon couldn’t help but feel a strange current.

“Don’t you think that all the requests coming in are not worth the name?”

“Have you noticed already?”

“If you know something, tell me quickly.”

Fernandez stopped wiping the glass and let out an uncharacteristic sigh.

“I’m not sure, but I can’t help but consider it given the circumstances. Do you happen to know about the rumors surrounding you?”

Is he a promising prospect who has appeared for a long time, or a sophisticated fraudster?

Because their activities were so shrouded in mystery, the industry’s evaluation of Toogwi and Baek Ga-on was split.

However, the situation changed drastically when evidence emerged that the FD shield was dealt with alone. The possibility that he could be a master in the field was raised.

But that only lasts for a moment.

A rumor was secretly circulating within the Miyauchi-gumi.

The two-legged Baek Ga-on is―

“A man of the sword? Who said that?”

“I heard you two even had a meal together at the ryokan. Isn’t that right?”

“… … .”

He couldn’t say no. Fernandez was the only person who knew that he had visited Miyauchi-gumi to produce White Night.

“Yeah, judging by your reaction, that seems right.”

“You knew my circumstances from the beginning.”

“That’s true for me, but what about the others? This is a rumor that broke out before your position was even solidified. There are more than a few people who are hell-bent on slandering you, so I can’t just leave it alone.”

“therefore…….”

“There are suspicions floating around that she also took care of the FD shield.”

If the distribution had been similar, the excuse that it was a formality to build friendship might have been acceptable.

But the age difference between the two stimulated inappropriate imagination.

Gaon has nothing to show off except his youth, and Aris has nothing left but his military power.

So how did these two meet and what kind of relationship did they have?

Depending on the viewing position, the interpretation is bound to be different.

He overthrew the executives of the Miyauchi-gumi, but that was something he did as X. Unless he revealed it, Gaon was not Alice’s benefactor, but merely a troubleshooter.

Moreover, when Ryoichi transformed into Metaformer, all the commotion that occurred that day was minimized and concealed.

That’s a real one-shot deal.

“You dealt with the cyborg last time, didn’t you? You said it was a psychic?”

Yeah, isn’t there an episode where he beat up a street gang that came to Bar Columbus in front of everyone? That could be a great measure of the skills of a man named Gaon.

“… … Come to think of it, he was a guy who received work from a lower-level organization under the Miyauchi-gumi group.”

“That… … ha, no.”

I had a lot to say, but I didn’t think it would be an excuse.

It’s been about half a year since Gaon settled in the seed colony.

If you were a young man with no experience, you would be hunting for wanted criminals and observing the industry situation, not standing shoulder to shoulder with the big shots.

“It’s an image that is famous for being famous.”

“I’m trying my best, but in the end, it’s up to the client to make the choice.”

It was standard practice to choose a different option if the values ​​were the same.

“So, you want me to show you something really great. Something that will bury all the suspicions.”

“I didn’t say anything like that.”

“It was helpful.”

Gaon was the one who slaughtered the FD shield with a smiling face. Was he given the nickname of ‘Tugwi’ for nothing? Even those who doubted his skills would agree that his actions were rough.

“No, that’s not it, just listen to me for a second… … .”

Fernandez tried to grab it quickly, but Gaon’s shadow had already left the door.

* * *

“Come out.”

A few steps out of Columbus.

Gaon, who had entered the alley, could see a shadow covering his head.

A man with a large body like a tiger and sharp eyes, his name is―

“What the hell is going on, mister?”

“It’s not fun. And I’m a grand official.”

A martial artist who is a disciple of Mu-ryong and an officer of Ryong-yeong, and who agrees to bury him.

“It’s been a while. I didn’t expect you to approach me first. Are there any more issues that need to be resolved between us?”

“You have been named as the suspect in the murder of Ambassador Wang Hoon-soo. No, to be precise, you have also been named.”

“Wang Hoon-soo? What’s that name?”

“You are a master of the Thousand Hands and Thousand Eyes, how could you not know?”

“Oh, that guy.”

It was a warrior who barged in, saying he would avenge his dead disciple.

“It was said that the fact that the place where he went missing was not far from the FD Shielder headquarters was effective.”

“okay?”

“I heard you’re on good terms with the newly elected Miyauchi-gumi leader? There are even speculations that you may have used her to deal with the ambassador.”

“It’s not like Miss Seventy has any feelings for Yong-young.”

Each and every piece of information was directly related to Ryungyoung’s secrets. It would have been quite difficult for him, who wasn’t even the leader of the action team, to obtain them.

“Why are you teaching me that?”

“I hope you will accept me as your disciple.”
