Whether you know it or not (1)

A room full of wires. The lights emanating from the monitors filled in here and there brighten the room even without lights.
An empty lot where not a single person can be seen. A strange noise resounding from there, like gears turning.
In the meantime, only inorganic phone calls regularly fill the silence.
Amidst the beeps that had been blazing for a long time, a calm voice suddenly began to emerge.
[Signal Lost Confirm. That was the end of my companionship with No. 8.]
Immediately after that, various voices erupted from other monitors.
[What? is it real No, it hasn’t even been three days since we arrived in the Balkans. Has it already broken down?]
[All data transmission is lost 10 minutes after the report of the encounter with the lightning. In fact, it’s as if a conclusion has been reached.]
[The simple space implementation function is a technology that cannot be used by anyone. When will you find a ‘suitable person’ again and insert the technology?]
The technologies possessed by Gearside have long since surpassed the level of external magic engineering, but there are not many cases where those technologies are fully utilized.
A group of madmen willing to accept any conditions and penalties in order to reach the technological singularity.
Technology that transcends the concept of magical engineering is transformed into a supernatural ability that is more like an imprint rather than a technology that can be used by everyone.
Versatility reduced to the limit. As a result, there comes a point where qualifications are needed rather than research to properly implement technology.
At some point, remodeling one’s entire body to acquire a skill became a daily routine.
However, there are a limited number of suitable people who can use the technology properly even after going through the ‘modification’ stage to accept the technology.
That is why, among the researchers at Gearside, only a few were given a proper ‘body’.
[It can’t be helped. There aren’t many Numberings with combat abilities like No. 8... ... Even the remaining of us have to finish the plan.]
Numbering. Those who are successful in receiving Gearside’s technology are given a ‘number’ in that order.
No. 8, which dealt with fastness, was one of the masterpieces completed in a fairly sophisticated way among those numberings.
It was not too difficult to assess how difficult the adversary this time was, since such a suitable person could not last even 10 minutes and was completely destroyed to the extent that data transmission was impossible.
[Could the consciousness of No. 8 be restored?]
[The accident data that was backed up on the network is almost half destroyed. If I just fix my body in this state, I’ll become an idiot?]
The audience fell silent at the declaration of the first voice.
It was not difficult to understand the meaning of the words.
Except for Numberling, who was given a body, most of the Gearside researchers are only floating in consciousness in the brain space.
However, isn’t that saying that even the wanderers of the cyber world who have escaped the bondage of reality cannot guarantee their survival against the dog?
[You are saying that if you run into a dog, you can’t actually come back alive. This is a bit dangerous.]
[The spy force that was collecting data is also on the verge of destruction. In fact, you can’t expect any more progress than this.]
[The target achievement rate is currently 78%... ... . It’s a pity, but it would be nice to finish collecting data at this point. Should the remaining 20% be reduced through trial and error?]
[That would be nice. Because there are plenty of samples. All it takes is time.]
Beep beep beep.
A huge cavity seen under the glass window in the room.
The appearance of countless National Guard soldiers lying on hundreds of bunks placed in a common area.
A long plug cord dug into the back of their necks and hammered a huge amount of data through their spinal cords.
“Billion... ... !”
“Kreukreuk!!”
The processing speed and capacity of the human brain are unacceptable. Someone who couldn’t stand it bleeds profusely from Goku and has seizures.
The researchers whispered as they looked down at the scene through the camera installed in the cavity.
[Forced fitter adjustment experiment through combat data injection. If successful, mass production of number rings is not impossible.]
[There aren’t many opportunities to experiment with superhuman powers of this size. It would have been much easier if things hadn’t happened in the North Continent.]
[The agent’s Hyeongung is also vacant because a big man like that has emerged. It’s not inconvenient.]
These are not empty words. Most of the key numberings in Gearside were having difficulty moving due to the sudden abnormal phenomenon that occurred in the northern part of the continent.
Several number rings, including No. 8, were summoned in a hurry, but considering the fact that they had to deal with the dog, it was a daunting task.
[In the end, it’s up to Vice Admiral Treppen’s will. Are you still watching the progress of the situation at the drying yard?]
[To think that the success or failure of this plan should be left to the decisions of that indecisive old man. I don’t really like it.]
[If we successfully complete the fitter adjustment experiment, the lieutenant general will also consider it positively. There is no way that an elderly superman who is struggling at level 7 would not be tempted by our proposal.]
[I hope so. Aside from that foolish demeanor, Lieutenant General Treffen’s talent is genuine. If you accept ‘adjustment’, you might really be able to reach level 8.]
At the same time as the calm voice, the camera lens watching the cavity slowly rotated.
The mana emanating from the soldiers reflected through the lens was slowly becoming heterogeneous.
“I hope you will restrain yourself until you see Vice Admiral Treppen’s top. Because there are so many things to do.”
“... ... .”
“Quickly get to the point. There is something worth trying at least once, as these talented people gathered in one place before the strategy to attack the fortress.”
Pallad opened the operation table installed inside the vehicle and spoke.
“It’s because of that that I took you out. For more details, let’s hear directly from the congressman.”
ugh!!
A blurry mana surges above the strategy table, and Mayer’s face appears as a hologram.
[Nice to meet you. It’s been quite a while since I’ve seen his face like this.]
He seemed to be somewhat emaciated from the heavy work that followed. While slowly examining the inside of the car with a tired expression, he greeted Aris first.
[Professor Richellen. Thank you for deciding to participate in this operation. Considering the position of a professor, it must have been a difficult decision. I will
definitely repay you for your hard work for the safety of the Balkan citizens.]
Aris replied with a cold face.
“I’m fed up with the city council’s attitude of still hiding such an important situation... ... . There will be nothing wrong with the people who live in this city.”
A businesslike attitude that is completely different from the lively faces I have seen in the lab.
That resolute attitude that leaves no room for a response clearly reveals the fact that Aris did not come here with goodwill.
However, Mayer nodded obediently, not caring about that cold reply.
[That word itself proves how noble the professor’s disposition is. There must have been a cold judgment that no one other than himself would be of much help in this matter.]
“... ... .”
[Relax. I swear by my parliamentary seat that I will never again use a professor’s abilities in this way. After all, this time is just an exception.]
Even after hearing Mayer’s words, Aris kept her mouth shut with a calm expression.
In fact, she, who has no major ties to this city, came forward directly because there was a reasonable judgment that there were very few powers that could solve this situation now that the prohibition law was not resolved.
Because she was clearly aware of that fact, Aris could not refuse the earnest request of the agent and city council member and decided to contribute to this task.
While watching her reaction, Mayer immediately changed the subject.
[There’s no time, so I’ll just check the business quickly. While you guys went out to the undeveloped area where the Mobile Fortress is advancing, I managed to gather information from the Cybrid Echo and get a list of the members of the council who conspired to assassinate me in this case.] “That’s fortunate.
”
The eyes of the others turned to Illya, who was looking away for a moment.
In the end, Ilya persuaded the Cybrid Echo leadership through a deal with Lennok and handed over to Mayer the list of factions that demanded sabotage of the operation in exchange for their involvement in the operation.
[From now on, based on the evidence we have secured, we plan to appear at the Central Council and formally urge the punishment of the lawmakers who interfered with this agenda. So, before that, I need to tell you the facts I know in advance.]
There is little room for him to be of help in the field, as he has no physical strength or special operational command skills.
Since Mayer himself is aware of it, is it a judgment that he will reduce the bad variables in this work by making a decision at the central council close to his stage and dragging other members in his mouth?
It is not known how much the power struggle between city council members will be, but the war of nerves between politicians at the top of the megacities must be considerable.
Mayer is stepping out to tie the knot himself in the area that is difficult for Lennox to immediately guess.
While lost in thought, Mayer’s words continued.
[It’s not just abandoned ruins in the undeveloped districts of megacities.]
He continued to say, making eye contact with his surroundings with calm eyes.
[Twenty years ago, when this city flourished without knowing the end, officials in key positions in the city have gone through a lot of trial and error. In order to move and hide the power and secrets of the city more outside the increasingly cramped city center.]
“That means... ... ?”
[Various secrets hidden in the areas designated as closed areas have escaped to various parts of the undeveloped district along with the expansion plan. Nuclear power plant Human body test site Landfill site Military base... ... . Many attempts have been made regardless of the type and type of secret, and all of them were buried in darkness with the abolition of the expansion and development plan.] [
Now, only traces remain in place. However, the National Guard Command read something different from that past.]
Understanding the meaning of those words, Lennok let out a small sigh.
“You weren’t lying about wanting permission to enter the closed area.”
[okay... ... Contrary to what is left in the records, it must have succeeded in moving some of the secrets that actually existed in the closed area out of the undeveloped area. That must be what Commander Lieutenant General Treffen is aiming for.] They
declared war pretending to want the secrets that exist in District 13, but in fact Treffen also knew that the secrets had already been transferred outside.
It is impossible to know how many people were directly or indirectly involved in this if the Defense Force Command were aware of a fact that even Mayer, a member of the city council, had only vaguely guessed.
“You will need information about the closed area facilities that the city council was pushing to relocate at the time. Are you going to get it from now on?”
“... ... .”
If you took three superhumans who had completed the hierarchy and went off on their own, and according to the explanations you’ve heard so far, wouldn’t that have only one purpose?
Palad smiled and nodded.
“I feel good. It’s true. From now on, we’re going to rob the database where all the data on the urban expansion and development plan from 20 years ago are stored.”
“... ... What did you say?”
