Episode 160 [Silo (3)]
Bang!
As the researcher flew away, the soldier guarding the door pointed his gun at Kyung-hoon.
Was his name Liam?
Kyung-hoon stood up and looked at the researcher with blood streaming from his mouth.
Kyung-hoon felt sorry. I tried to help him, but he suddenly punched me...
Kyung-hoon tapped his head with a dumbfounded expression.
“This is what happens if you lose your mind even for a moment.”
This made it difficult to even trust my feelings.
Kyunghoon looked around. Everyone was looking at Kyung-hoon with surprised faces.
“Is this something that keeps repeating itself? “For that matter, the reaction is realistic.”
“Why are you doing this all of a sudden?”
The researcher asked Kyung-hoon while wiping away the blood.
An S-class combat awakener generated mana and struck with all his might, but was barely injured.
It seemed like even his strength had been reset.
Kyunghoon shrugged his shoulders. It didn’t really matter anyway.
“Well, it would have been nice if we hung out once.”
The moment he realized that it wasn’t reality, this fantasy stopped being a problem for Kyung-hoon.
It was a great illusion that even S-class Kyung-Hoon was caught up in, but he also had experience with overcoming the monarch’s mental attack.
Kyunghoon took a deep breath. He looked inside himself.
“Are you okay?”
Dominic’s words began to trail off.
Kyung-hoon raised his mana.
With your head, not your body.
The world became slower.
He poured the mana he had drawn into his head.
Pajik.
The world started to break apart. The floor cracked and the walls collapsed.
Voices broke and people streamed out.
And Kyung-hoon came out of his body. The world became increasingly distant.
In the end, the world turned dark.
***
Kyunghoon opened his eyes.
Domimic, who was questioning him, was nowhere to be seen.
Kyunghoon looked around.
A pattern drawn on the floor. High ceilings. And the circular railings on each floor.
It was the inside of the silo we saw a while ago.
But it was completely different. Everything was old and full of dust. The door was rusty and the walls were cracked.
Fortunately, the pattern was still intact, but it seemed like it had been abandoned for a long time.
And the corpses of the monsters were left desiccated on the floor.
And even those with only bones left.
Everything was just like I saw in the fantasy. It felt as if time had passed just like the last scene of the fantasy.
Kyung-Hoon tried to pull up Mana.
Wooooow.
Light stayed in his hand. This time it was proper power. It wasn’t an illusion now.
Shane wasn’t leaning against the wall like in the vision. I was lying next to Kyunghoon.
The robot was motionless like in the fantasy.
Kyunghoon took out his cell phone.
“Eve?”
The phone lit up, but Eve did not answer.
Gyeonghoon carefully poured in the mana. I wrapped my phone around the same way I felt when I wrapped my head.
Ugh.
-master?
Eve’s voice was heard. Kyunghoon sighed. Fortunately, his mana worked.
The prediction was not wrong. Eve and the robot also suffered a mental attack.
-It’s barely back to normal. Strange errors kept coming in from outside, so we had no choice but to force a shutdown. What on earth was that? I was very worried.
It was also a mental attack. Is AI also subject to mental attacks? I didn’t know.
Kyunghoon woke up Shane in the same way.
Shane was in the same situation.
“I tried to block it by using my mana, but it was impossible with my mana.”
It was a mental attack that even S-class awakeners were caught up in. There was no way it could be easily prevented.
[So is it okay now?]
“It seems okay now. “I’ll have to check.”
Kyung-hoon looked at one corner of the underground plaza.
The door leading to the basement was open, hidden in an inconspicuous corner.
*
Kyung-hoon first explained the vision he experienced to Eve and Shane.
After hearing Kyung-hoon’s story, Eve briefly summarized the situation.
-So there’s an awakened person down here that repeats the scene and spreads illusions when frozen.
Shane tilted the camera.
“How do we keep these powerful traits going?”
“We should check that out.”
Gyeonghoon took out the Samjeonggeom from his backpack. And the robot also fixed its machine gun.
Both of them were on the verge of blowing everything up.
It was also the last scene before he died.
“I did something useless...”
Vanessa’s voice came from next to me. .
“It seems like some kind of automatic defense mechanism.”
Kyunghoon turned his head in surprise.
Just as in the vision, Vanessa was standing next to him.
But Vanessa’s appearance was different then. She was checking her body here and there with a curious look on her face.
“no way? Eve?”
“As expected, master. “You guessed right.”
“How did you get in?”
“We did not reject external intrusion, but accepted it. “It was implemented this way.”
“Why did you come in dangerously?”
Eve, disguised as Vanessa, grinned.
“It is a human characteristic, but I thought it might be possible to analyze it because it is transmitted through machines. There is a high possibility that it will be of help to the master.”
“So is analysis possible?”
“Unfortunately, this is the limit. It seems difficult to understand everything. “It will take a long time.”
Kyunghoon shook his head.
Although she was speaking calmly with her mouth, she looked like a child seeing this amazing world for the first time.
Slurp slurp.
While the two people were talking, monsters came right in front of them.
Eve said, looking at the monster.
“There is nothing more to collect. “You can break it.”
As she spoke, she looked very disappointed. However, something felt very awkward because she had the appearance of a middle-aged woman.
Kyung-hoon raised the window.
“I have a general idea...”
As he pushed in the mana, the spear glowed brightly.
Kyung-hoon swung the spear down.
Bang!
It was not a monster, but a spear swung into the air. Instead of a monster, the spear broke the world.
I heard a scream . A sigh of relief was heard.
And the world collapsed in an instant.
Cracking! Cracking! When
Kyung-hoon blinked, he saw a broken machine.
Sparks flew out of the machine.
The machine was cut in half by the sword he swung. [
It was an amazing experience. Humans experience the world that way.]
Eve’s excited voice was heard.
“Ugh, is everyone okay?”
Shane moaned from next to me.
Shane was down on one knee. He got up and sighed.
“It’s hard. “This time, I blocked it without shutting it down, but all I could do was hold on.”
One AI jumped into the illusion and the other AI blocked it.
The two AIs made different choices. Like humans, AI was growing differently.
Kyung-hoon wondered how different the destinations of these two would be.
Kyung-hoon put his phone back in his pocket and looked into the window of the freezer.
The body was still frozen. However, he didn’t look as frightened as before.
Kyung-hoon hoped everyone could rest comfortably now.
After a while, he looked up, looked at the devices, and muttered.
“Would it be helpful if I took it to the other world?”
[You can take it, but it won’t mean much. [The entire structure has been figured out.]
Kyung-hoon shook his head at Eve’s words. The child I saw a little while ago was nowhere to be seen.
Competent and great AI is back again.
It was time to talk for a while.
thud. thud.
The sound of something crashing was heard from above.
Kyunghoon and Shane both looked up.
I heard it in a fantasy. It was the sound of monsters falling to the floor.
“As expected, all living beings that entered this were affected by an illusion.”
Shane nodded at Kyunghoon’s words.
“That was the corpse of a monster that died without any wounds.”
[It appears that his characteristics have become stronger because he has been eating monsters that have entered the silo for a long time.]
Dominic had been eating monsters here through illusions for decades.
“Do you think you made it to Class A?”
[Let’s check?]
Kyung-hoon shook his head at Eve’s words.
It was a meaningless story now.
“Let’s deal with the guy who came in first.”
Kyunghoon nodded at Shane’s words.
Kyung-hoon took out a rifle from his backpack. He threw the gun to Shane.
“Please use this gun first.”
Shane, who received the gun, tilted his head.
“This is a regular gun. Why is this? It won’t work.”
“I need to check something briefly.”
Gyeonghun lifted the spear. It was an old spear wrapped in a dirty cloth. The spear held by the dead awakened man. The
green mana stone on the tip of the spear sparkled.
