Chapter 40

Episode 40 [Do you want to sign up for a new subscription? (2)]

A residential area in California where you can hear the sound of children playing outside the window.

A middle-aged man was staring at a computer screen alone in a house without his family.

A homepage screen with strange shapes constantly moving.

Ordinary people wouldn’t understand, but he could see the code inside.

“[email protected]#$QWET... It’s a bit of a teasing password.”

The white man entered the password with a confused expression.

“Oh. I passed.”

The screen changed and a new registration screen appeared.

[welcome. Would you like to register as a new member?]

Contrary to expectations, the sign-up window was very monotonous.

The ID and personal password to be used on the bulletin board and lastly the characteristics. However, it didn’t matter if the characteristics were small.

“Are you not even accepting email addresses? How do I make an announcement... Ah! “I guess I can just shoot it on bulletin boards around the world.”

The middle-aged man shook his head at the scale of the EV.

“Then all I have to do is write down the ID.”

He wrote down the ID ‘DUCK’ and entered his personal password.

When I clicked the OK button, the homepage main screen appeared.

However, before I could even look at the homepage, a large notice screen appeared.

[This place was created for the awakened (mutant human) community and various advice. Right now, we only have a simple menu, but we plan to gradually add a list.]

The text at the top of the notice was plain. However, the writing at the bottom had a large red warning mark.

[Please avoid providing personal information as much as possible. Although it is prevented systematically, it is not perfect.

There is no way that every awakened person who enters this community thinks the same. They may be on the side of the government or powerful people, or they may be criminals. Please be as careful as possible to avoid causing personal harm.]

The man who read the text below clicked his tongue softly.

“I guess it can’t be stupid.”

Ugh. Ugh.

At that time, the cell phone on the desk rang. He answered the phone after checking the number.

-The connection failed at the company. I entered the correct password, but it was not approved.

He checked the text on the screen again.

‘Because they are on the side of the government or those in power...’

The middle-aged man chuckled. In any case, if mutant humans were to become a main force in society in the future, there was no reason why they should not join powerful places in advance.

Moreover, if he had belonged before becoming a mutant human, there would be no other way.

“I confirmed that I was connected at home. Since these guys are crossing the internet as they please, we can check where they are accessing and stop them. Just in case, tell them to stop working on the Pentagon.”

He hung up the phone and looked at the screen again. When he put down the notice, a simple list appeared:

1. Administrator notice.

2. Action tips

3. Articles and world situation.

4. Mutations. Monster Encyclopedia

5. Ability growth tips (work in progress)

6. Equipment and item trading (work in progress)

7. Bulletin board.

The administrator notices and action tips were the same as the articles posted by EV on the Internet.

And, the third article was There were articles about mutants.

At the top of the article was an article about an association that said it was created in Korea.

The man frowned. It was an incident that made him laugh when he heard about the situation.

The mutant humans who were being used as test subjects escaped and held a press conference. ,They announced that they were going to create an association.

If I caught it, I had to either let it go or take care of it later. The way things were going was very funny.

‘Do the people who created this site want mutant humans to form an organization?’

Although doubts arose, he continued to check the menu.

The mutant monster encyclopedia contained information about mutants discovered in each country.

These people seemed to think it was a given that mutant humans would fight monsters

. ‘You wrote it down in detail.’

The two menus below were not yet open.

Ability growth seemed to be a place where mutant humans gathered information, and it was unknown what the equipment and items would contain.

And the last bulletin board.

Kyung-hoon said I went inside the complex and walked between the apartments in buildings 1 and 2.

A lot of laundry was hanging on the windows and railings, and a man in old underwear standing at the window called someone when he saw an outsider coming into the complex. The deeper Kyung-hoon went into the apartment complex, the more he noticed

. The smell of gunpowder could be clearly felt.

At the front door of Apartment Building 3, two men were sitting on the stairs, looking at Kyung-hoon.

-The two men in front of the stairs took out firearms and hid them behind their backs.

“Oh, I saw it too.”

-The man at the window on the second floor of Building 1 took out a rifle and placed it behind the railing.

Hearing Eve’s words, Kyung-hoon glanced at the apartment next door.

A man who looked worn out by time was looking down at him calmly.

Today too, the infrared action camera attached to clothes was showing off its capabilities.

“He’s an invisible man to the last degree...”

Although he was a little surprised, Kyung-hoon hung up and kept walking.

Kyung-hoon arrived in front of apartment building 3.

The guy leaning on the stairs opened his mouth.

“Who are you looking for?”

“Are apartments also inspected here?”

Kyung-hoon’s words, which he spoke in a whisper, were translated into heavy Chinese by Eve.

The two nodded at the voice that came out a little later than the speaking mouth, but then frowned.

“You really bother people. You came at the wrong time. Just tell me which house and who you are looking for. “I’ll check it and if it’s correct, I’ll let you in.”

-It looks like a temporary border has been set up. After all, it must be because of the post on the bulletin board, right?

Kyung-hoon internally agreed with Eve’s words coming from the earphones.

Fortunately, the entire apartment didn’t seem to belong to a gang. If all the people living in the complex were gang members, it would have been more difficult for Kyung-hoon to proceed with his work.

“answer quickly! Those big sunglasses at this time of night are very suspicious.”

The hand hidden behind the back slowly slipped out to the side. The pistol grip was revealed. It seemed like it was trying to scare people.

“Do you have an answer for something like this?”

-Unfortunately, this place is not properly computerized. It’s difficult to identify the person you want.

Kyung-hoon answered the tattooed man.

“I don’t think I know anyone.”

Eve translated those words diligently, and the expressions of the two men changed drastically.

The two pointed their guns at Kyung-hoon at the same time.

“doesn’t exist!”

However, there was nothing left where Kyung-hoon was.

“Back!”

At that time, the man standing at the second floor window shouted.

But the two couldn’t even look back.

puck! puck!

I fainted from the sudden blow I felt on the back of my head.

Kyung-hoon, who stunned the two people with both hands, looked at the man who shouted.

It was then. A heavy sound echoed through the apartment.

puck!

The man on this floor fired the gun. The gun he fired was a modified rifle with a silencer.

A bullet hit Kyung-hoon in the arm.

“Ugh!”

Kyunghoon grabbed my arm and frowned.

Kyunghoon lowered his hand and examined his arm.

There was a hole in the leather coat. In addition, the man who fired the gun was not visible at the window on the second floor. It has already run away.

-Rescue comes first.

“I know.”

Kyung-hoon clicked his tongue as he looked at the window and picked up the pistol lying on the floor in both hands. Since the pistols

had silencers, there was no need to worry about them being noisy.

“I’ve wanted to try it once since I came to Hong Kong.”

– Now is not the time to be excited about movies.

But, he said. Holding a pistol in both hands, I ran into the building.

All the apartment windows were closed and the sound of gunshots through a silencer began to be heard softly within the complex.
