Chapter 329: Code Part 2



Before I could grasp the situation, my vision blurred again.

In the next instant, my perspective underwent another change.

Now, I found myself within an office, its metal-white walls reminiscent of those sci-fi movies in space.

Futuristic elements dotted the office, with sleek and angular design giving an impression of cutting-edge technology. A large window framed a captivating view of a distant planet, making it obvious that I was really in space.

Without a hint of surprise, I calmly acknowledged, 'This is Neptune.'

The familiarity was striking, aligning with the visuals I had previously encountered on the internet, the real and the virtual merging seamlessly, with a staggering 90% resemblance.

However ,Any normal emotional reaction, which might have arisen after the discovery of living beings or aliens in space, remained absent to me.

Instead, this information seamlessly integrated into my mental landscape, as if it were just another piece of data woven into the fabric of my consciousness. Emotions, now seemingly distant, allowed me to process the revelation with a detached sense of understanding.

Dr. Zen, or the version of me within this memory, began to inspect his tablets in a manner that felt natural. Through the screen, I could see his face, mirroring some of the common features of the woman from the earlier scene.

Notably, his ears were also pointed, and his eyes seemed to hold the same artificial contact lens that transmit image directly into the eye.

"Code X is still not perfect," he sighed, his mental voice audible to me.

Engrossed in his work, he began checking something on his tablet—a data unlike anything I had encountered before. Despite my mind operating at the level of a computer, the intricacies of this unfamiliar data escaped my instant analysis, proving how complex it was.

After a few moments, he gently placed his tablet on the desk.

"Access Memory," he commanded.

Suddenly, a virtual image materialized within his field of vision.

In it, a beautiful woman with blue hair appeared, accompanied by a young girl.

Their attire was unique, featuring a white silk-like fabric composed of something akin to silicone but with a metallic sheen to it.

The backdrop was equally distinctive, with towering structures that defied the familiar shapes of buildings found on Earth.

Additionally, my gaze caught sight of floating islands in the distance, adding an extra layer of surrealism to the scene. The entire setting seemed to exist in a realm beyond the conventions of my known world.

"Zen, did you enjoy your vacation?" the woman inquired, her pace slow as she approached, cradling the little girl in her arms.

I analyzed that my chances of winning against even one of them were non-existent.

"We need to retrieve Code X faster, or it will be too late," he declared with a deep sigh.

The duo swiftly turned around, moving with urgency, fully aware that they could be the next target.

As they traversed the corridors, their path intersected with other space crew donned in combat suits, all preparing for the impending battle.

Finally, they reached the end of the hallway, where a pristine mechanical door stood.

Using their key cards, the door slid open, revealing something I hadn't anticipated seeing in this place; Two human beings with opposite gender were currently confined in a glass apparatus .

'I thought the Zillions created the humans? ,' I murmured to myself. The sight before me prompted a reevaluation of the narrative Dr. Hong had shared about the origins of humanity.

"Hurry up, download the Syst..." he commanded, but before he could finish his words, the memory abruptly cut off.

"What the hell was that!" I cursed aloud, and as my vision returned, I saw people with shopping bags staring at me with a confused look.

"Oppa, why did you just jump out like that?" Rei Mei's voice jolted me back to reality from my still groggy state of mind.
