Genius Magician Who Eats Medicine Episode 622
Ex Machina (9)
Even though the four enforcers tried their hands, in the end they couldn’t even touch a single wheel of the scooter.
Even though it was right in front of my eyes, I missed it as if I was being fooled, but an unknown shadow.
The expression on the faces of the executioners who had failed in pursuit of what had just happened was so bizarre that they looked more like bewilderment than anger.
“... ... I’ve been doing this for over ten years, but this is my first time. I still don’t know if the opponent is the same superman.”
In the meantime, another executor who had been contacted reported to Pylo.
“It is said that the body of the assassin and a copy of his identity were safely retrieved from the scene.”
“I need to find out where Earth is on the other side of the Wall. This workshop area changes so often... ... .”
The executive officers, including Filo, opened their own communication networks on the spot and quickly began to collect information.
Each bailiff has independent investigative authority, so even if they act as a team, the way they collect information and draw conclusions varies.
It wasn’t long before other enforcers quickly began to unravel what they had learned.
“It seems like a normal residential area. It is a space that accommodates young people attending educational institutions.”
“Then I guess I should contact the Metropolitan Police Department first.”
“It will take a while to cooperate with the damn one... ... .”
The other executor, who was grumbling, glanced at Pylo and asked.
“Isn’t it a coincidence that he chose this direction to escape?”
“... ... okay. It must have been aimed at.”
Pylo responded as he planted the harpoon he was holding with a stiff look at his feet.
“Even though he had excellent fighting power to deal with the side squad, he was thoroughly focused on running away. It is proof that the route was set from the beginning and moved according to the plan.”
“I didn’t expect to meet such a talented person in such a low-level workshop area... ... .”
Looking back, even though he had the ability to fight the enforcers, the opponent didn’t try to collide with them until the end.
It must have been because the opponent’s goal was to deal with the Side Squad’s assassin.
Ujat asked.
“I think it’s easy to guess as the branch manager has personally dealt with it. Which one?”
“Well, if you think about what comes to mind right away... ... .”
Pylo tilted his head.
“It’s just that he’s a resident who has lived on the outskirts of the Machine City for at least several decades.”
“Are you saying you’re not an outsider?”
“I was incredibly familiar with the traffic conditions and local trends in the slums outside this workshop district.”
“... ... .”
“Not even 12 hours have passed since Narcissa Solmer decided to visit the lower workshop district. In the meantime, did you think of running away after learning all the systems and transportation throughout the workshop district and chasing down the side squad assassin?”
Pylo shook his head slowly as he watched the executor’s stunned expressions.
“It’s easier to think that it was Maiya Lenslet that we just faced.”
The other executors shook their heads at that ridiculous hypothesis, but Ujat nodded seriously.
“Well, if it were her, it would not be impossible to escape like this. Rumor has it that you can see all the streets and topography of the Machine City Makina as clearly as the palm of your hand.”
“And now, being banished from Machina, her biometric information is blocked from all security systems in Machine City.”
The branch manager, who responded with an amused tone, drew the harpoon and put it over his shoulder before turning around with a yawn.
“You said something useless. I need to find a suitable excuse for the superiors.”
“Would you mind not tracking me? Reopening the barrier won’t be difficult in itself.”
Enforcement agencies have the right to move freely regardless of opening or closing the internal barriers of the Machine City.
If you put your mind to it, it won’t be a problem if you temporarily request the opening of the closed barrier and open a space where people can come and go.
However, Pylo shook his head in a sullen tone at the other executor’s question.
“If there was a chance, I would have tried. Would you have seen it too?”
“hmm... ... .”
“It’s not something you can catch by chasing after it. I’ll have to go back and gather some more information on an outlaw with similar abilities.”
The other bailiffs also let out a silence, not that they didn’t understand the meaning of the words.
It is the same earth, and it is the opponent who missed it without being able to properly touch the collar even in front of their nose.
They knew that it was unlikely that they would be able to catch them by opening the closed barrier and chasing after them.
Ujat also nodded quietly, not understanding the branch manager’s thoughts.
“It’s not wrong, but I think it’s necessary to pretend. The pod might be caught in the Ex Machina.”
“I don’t know if there are any results, but I think it will be okay since I have the physical evidence.”
Saying so, Pylo immediately turned around.
“The culprit in the assassination of Narcissa Solmer and a replica of a strange deity appearing recently. Since I took care of both of them, I have the minimum justification.”
He pulled out a new cigarette, bit on it, and grinned at the bailiff.
“Let’s go back to headquarters and think about what’s left.”
“... ... understand.”
Anyway, since Lennok and Mouser were not the guardians of Narcissus and the soldier, the two simply left the hospital room after hearing an explanation of the current situation.
As if to understand the anxiety of the patient’s guardians, there was a smoking area on the roof.
Following Mouser, Lennok casually took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth, leaning against the roof railing and tilting his head back.
“Are you okay?”
“hmm?”
“Aren’t you an alumnus of Mauser? It didn’t look very good.”
Of course, Lenok and Narcissa have no feelings or relationships, so I don’t have any special feelings, but Mouser is different.
After all, it was while learning artisan work under the same teacher, Jingun Hwadeok.
Looking at the conversation between the two, they didn’t seem to like each other very much, but they didn’t seem to hate each other too much either.
However, Mouser widened his eyes and looked this way as if he was rather amazed at Lennok’s words.
“I didn’t know you were a person who could worry like that. the city... ... Wasn’t Esau famous as a crazy wizard?”
“... ... .”
It seems that Mouser has also been told by ear what kind of treatment the sorceress is being treated in the megalopolis.
Lennok stirred the smoke with a cigarette in his hand, looking dumbfounded.
“I don’t think it’s to the point of being called crazy, though.”
“Heh heh, that’s right. In the first place, rumors are not very believable.”
Mouser smiled like that and asked for the beginning of the year.
“That’s why I didn’t care too much when I was kicked out of Master’s workshop. I thought that the alumni who shared the joys and sorrows would respect my decision.”
“... ... .”
“But it wasn’t. To Narcissa, I was nothing more than a master craftsman who neglected his responsibilities and behaved carelessly. so I... ... ”
“Are you still talking about decades ago?”
A clear voice echoed from behind the two of them.
A man wearing thick glasses. The young man, who looked to be in his thirties, looked at the two and put his glasses on.
“I didn’t see him in the hospital room, so I looked for him for a while. Fortunately, you are still in the hospital.”
“Ebert.”
Mouser called the man’s name with a slightly stiff face.
“It’s been a while.”
“The last time I saw you was at the Supreme Council 10 years ago, brother. How have you been?”
Ebert held out his hand with a smile.
“I heard that you were chosen by the delegation to be in charge of touring the Mage Tower, but it seems that you are all right.”
“... ... I made a deal with the commissioners.”
Mouser replied with a wry smile.
“It’s not that he was unscathed, but he’s still alive and well. What are you doing here?”
“As you may know, I am working at Sister Narcissa’s studio.”
Ebert said calmly.
“While Narcissa was away, I took over the workshop and acted as the manager of the upper workshop district.”
“Right. you... ... .”
Mouser looked slightly surprised, but unexpectedly seemed to agree with the fact.
Perhaps the man named Ebert in front of him was either an outstanding craftsman or a person with a strong position comparable to them.
Ebert pulled out a small notepad from within his arms and lifted up his glasses.
“Your sister belonged to the Warhammer faction, and the fact that the Side Squad was involved in this incident has been revealed, so the aftermath will be formidable.”
Side Squad is an armed force created for the powers of Machine City, including Ex Machina.
The fact that they tried to assassinate Narcissa Solmer, a member of the Ex Machina committee, is enough to cause a stir inside the council.
“As much as that, I think I will have to appear at Ex Machina for a while, so I’m trying to take care of what I have to do in advance.”
“It’s something I have to do. As Narcissa passed out, in fact, this time... ... .”
“My sister has already made the decision to relocate Craftsman Lyman’s workshop to a higher-level workshop district, and in the meantime, has notified the superior.”
“... ... .”
Did he finish all the work and finish the notification in the short time he left the studio?
She was so quick and knife-like that even Lennok, who saw her for the first time today, admired her in terms of her job handling skills.
But Ebert’s words did not end there.
“However, the pendant of Hwadeok Jin-gun, which should be used as circumstantial evidence of this incident, was lost during the incident, so the basis for the previous decision that sister notified has disappeared.”
“... ... so?”
“Before visiting the ward, we contacted the Ex Machina leadership and coordinated the agenda.”
said Ebert.
“The transfer itself as a high-level workshop area proceeds according to the procedure. But for that verification, he said that he had to respond to the summons of the Ex Machina. But-”
Ebert looked around and whispered quietly so that only the two could hear.
“Maybe that muster position... ... There is a story that it might become the Simseonggwan under the sea barrier.”
