How to Live Immortally Episode 320

320 You are locked up

* * *

After dropping Sakuya off at her agency, Gaon returns home and sees the street in disarray.

Not only are citizens lining up to complain about not being able to make payments, but cars are also pouring onto the road due to the halted Hyperloop operation.

Even if you want to know the current situation, the communication that should be transmitting the information is down, so you don’t know what’s going on.

It was too late in the golden time to dismiss it as a momentary incident.

Anyone can tell that something unusual has happened by the strange feeling they feel on their skin, even without being notified.

Given that modern society is based on communications, estimates of damages are breaking records every second.

Even at this moment, police officers and firefighters were running around busily.

It would be ideal to wait for the board’s instructions to avoid unnecessary waste of administrative power, but there have always been those who don’t have the tact.

It couldn’t escape their attention, even though it was a storage warehouse.

Clank-

A door that was clearly locked opens surprisingly easily.

The display case, which had been closed just a moment ago, was also in disarray. The items I had painstakingly collected were strewn about.

“… … .”

Since communication is cut off, even if the security device is activated, there is no way that the device will receive a miracle.

Moreover, there were too many people waiting for a simple robbery. And they were heavily armed.

It was a lineup that revealed its sinister intentions, even though it was intended to be a tour of a private warehouse on the docks.

“Who is it?”

It was then that the man who was sitting at the counter as if it were his living room and juggling antiques like rubber balls turned his head.

“Oh, don’t be surprised. I just came here to ask you something. I’ll also make some extra money. I guess it’s a pleasant miscalculation to have been lurking around in a place like this.”

“That doesn’t answer… … .”

But that didn’t mean I had to be more curious. The unique style was evident in the clothing. The ponytail that resembled a saddle, the wide-sleeved suit, and even the small-rimmed round sunglasses―

“Did you come from Ryongyeong?”

It had only been a short while since he had heard from the Grand Inspector that he had been identified as one of the suspects in the murder of Ambassador Wang Hoon-soo, but judging from the fact that he had barged in right away, he seemed to be quite impatient.

You could tell just by looking at the level of those he brought with him.

“You’re not completely clueless. Yes, I’m Cheonshin, an executive of Ryongyeong.”

“What is happening to someone so high up?”

“As I said, there’s something I want to ask you. Do you know anything about the old man named Wang Hoon-soo?”

“It’s a name I’ve never heard of before.”

“Dr. Croft, who is supposed to work for us, is actually working at Oramatic Bionics, which you own?”

“Everyone has freedom of employment.”

As Gaon shrugged his shoulders, Cheonshin’s eyebrows rose on their own. At this point, even an idiot would know. He wouldn’t be able to get a proper answer if things continued like this.

“I tried to resolve this in a gentlemanly manner, but he’s a guy who doesn’t listen to anything. Ever since I heard his nickname, ‘Tugwi,’ I knew deep down that he was a bit of a loser.”

widely.

As the man who had been playing with the antiques got up, the people following him also put down their sacks of ammunition.

“I’ll tell you in advance, but it has already been confirmed that you are the owner of Baekdu.”

“Then you must also know the meaning of this action?”

“I know one thing. You are in no condition to call in a dedicated security force.”

As the celestial spirit, who was holding the sword leaning against the display case, swung his arm, the heavy blade like a sledgehammer scraped deeply into the floor.

You can tell that it has been processed for single molecules just by looking at its transparent color.

“Just because this place is under the jurisdiction of the Miyauchi-gumi, don’t expect to touch the hem of the swordsman’s skirt. All she’ll see when she comes here is your dead body, attacked by unidentified assailants who came in after the slush fund.”

I wondered why he was acting so arrogantly, but it turned out that he believed in a communication failure. Since he couldn’t call in reinforcements, he must have calculated that he could just press down with numbers.

It was a reasonable decision.

“It worked out really well. It’s not often that we get the chance to have a serious conversation without any interruptions.”

-If you choose your opponent.

“It’s the same for you too.”

“Ha, who’s worried about whom now?”

“Did anyone say they were coming here? Oh, no? That’s good.”

I quickly close the large door as if I’m going to run away.

Clank.

They weren’t the only ones who welcomed the possibility of committing the perfect crime.

“As we live, days like this come.”

Even if there is no evidence, the suspicion will remain, but it will still serve as a warning to Ryong-young.

“What are you doing?”

“Don’t you get it yet? You’re locked up.”

* * *

When Gaon revealed his true colors, Cheonshin couldn’t help but laugh in vain.

“That means you confessed to being involved in the ambassador’s death.”

“I don’t think my opinion is important here.”

“The dice with the lowest probability won. And the communication failure too. I guess my luck is not over yet.”

Master of the Thousand Hands and Thousand Eyes, Wang Hoon-soo.

Although he was appointed ambassador late in life, that did not mean his achievements were diminished.

It is no exaggeration to say that the principle of overlapping that he devised became the form through which Yongdu of Yongyeong advanced to a new level – the opportunity to monopolize attention and favor.

Therefore, when news of Wang Hoon-soo’s death was heard, there was no choice but to start arguing internally about who the real culprit was.

From special forces of the Mars Defense Force, to PMCs of Megacorp, executives of other dark factions, and even high-ranking Numbers—there are dozens of people who are under suspicion.

Everyone shouted loudly that they were right, but everyone nodded without disagreement when they heard that at least 90 men, one company, had been deployed.

That was also why, ironically, Gaon, the problem solver, was considered.

With his status, he would be able to procure the manpower and resources to deal with Wang Hoon-soo.

However, that does not mean that Gaon’s unique power was ignored.

In the 24th century, where cutting-edge science was idolized, it was no ordinary thing to insist on swordsmanship.

Others might laugh it off, but at least Ryong-young faced it seriously.

Not being immersed in the convenience that technology provides and continuing to practice hardship means discovering human potential in extraordinary talent.

A strike force comprised entirely of unmanned personnel, i.e., all martial artists.

It was no coincidence that the non-response team came in person.

As an organization established with a focus on subjugation and capture, they boast near-absolute powerlessness in confined spaces―I expected that they would be able to bring Gaon to his knees like snapping a child’s wrist, but what is this?

Such a non-response, such a striking force―

I was being swept away helplessly.

* * *

High voltage surges over the protective gear, which has been modified to the extreme, leaving no room for even a single sheet of paper. It seems as if it will not tolerate any touching.

Perhaps because it was designed for close combat, the weapons that followed were also extremely ferocious. There were giant awls on the elbows and knees, and flamethrowers and shotguns were installed in the forearms.

The highlight of such an oversized armament was the spiked shield worn by the sub-arm.

It’s a size that you can safely call a wall.

The thorns that are densely packed there vibrate at high speed.

Boom, boom, boom!

Armed with thorn shields that shred anything they pass by, the drones charge forward. Not just one, but six of them, coming from different directions.

A hexagonal formation, with the troops standing shoulder to shoulder.

It was the essence of a siege, as it left no room for choice and surrounded all sides, but to Gaon, it was nothing more than a shabby net.

However, the follow-up response was shocking enough.

The gear he was carrying must have weighed hundreds of kilograms, yet he turned as if it were a feather.

Moreover, there was no loud noise following the forced movement.

A principle that runs counter to the general method.

It was as if the ground was waiting to be stepped on first.

‘Shrink?’

Only then did Gaon realize that the non-response force had not rushed into battle with such an overload. Perhaps it was because they were so confident that they could gain the upper hand.

It wasn’t a dream.

Because he had trained in martial arts for a long time and developed spiritual powers, his physical abilities were above the normal range.

Evidence that we have found our original nature without the help of genetic manipulation. No, it would be more correct to say that the original potential of humans has been discovered.

It’s similar to how abilities evolve through stages.

However, since achievements are differentiated based on innate talent, it seems understandable why Ryung-young is obsessed with improving his constitution.

Crunch-

Even if they are all of the same rank, there are bound to be inferior students.

Gaon, who was present at the time, dug into that point and tore through the dust.

Moreover, since the operation of martial arts was also immature, even if the true nature was hidden behind thick equipment, it was no different from being naked.

‘Is it that the flow that starts from Yeongtae (靈台) passes through Hwando (環跳) and Yanggwan (陽關) and explodes at the center of the sole, Yongcheon (湧泉)?’

I can understand that it applies blood flow to the entire lower body, but it was ultimately half-baked.

Unless you know how to breathe.

“Hand it over!”

Unable to resist his curiosity, Gaon immediately broke the nearest drone’s headgear with his knee. Then, he manipulated the atmosphere with Mandala, forcing it to breathe heavily.

“Cough, cough.”

Focus on the sounds your opponent makes from a close distance, so close that your noses are almost touching.

[Cheonsucheonan Bigi Baekilsu]

More expansive thought than ever before is broken down into milliseconds, establishing the patterns that form the basis of breathing.

It only takes a moment for the traditions built up by the non-responsive group to be uncovered.

“Is it forcing the vertical movement to be converted into horizontal movement?”

I was wondering why the boost attached to the protective gear didn’t accelerate in the right direction when ignited, but instead moved as if it was sliding, and I found out there was a way to do this.

To put it extremely, it could be said that the high jumping movement is also the basis for running.

What this martial art pursued was the secret of flow, which is the axis of all spiritual arts.

This also had a part in connection with the control of movement direction, which is the foundation of the mandala.

I couldn’t help but laugh at the appearance of such an excellent teaching aid when I was already worrying about how to resolve the overflowing angular energy duet of acceleration and development.

Of course, from the god’s point of view, the line drawn on those lips was no different from a disaster.

“You, how did you become the Thousand-Li Master…?”

“That’s the name? It suits you well. It really feels like you can go anywhere.”
