I sat back on the bench and tried to calm my emotions down. What I experienced back then was vivid, but the version of me in that memory was different from the present me, so I had to organized my thoughts first.
I got the general idea of those scenes, suggesting it was a memory tied to a civilization capable of space travel.
If that scene was real, it hinted at the existence of extraterrestrial beings. Dr. Hong's narrative about humanity's origin might be far more complex than I had previously imagined.
'First, that pure white being, and then the existence of a digital world, followed by aliens and those energy beings? That was too many revelations in one go,' I sighed to myself.
As a genius, things of the unknown would linger in my mind much longer. And right now, I was becoming more self conscious about it.
This must be what Tony (Iron) felt when he entered that portal and saw multiple spaceships that could destroy Earth. Well, in my case, I don't really have any interest in saving the planet—just myself and girls will do.
"Oppa, are you okay?" Rei Mei touched my shoulder, her tone tinged with genuine concern.
I did not reply immediately, taking a moment to fixed up my thoughts. All those new information were concerning, but now was not the time to dwell on them. I would tackle each of them in the future if needed .
I checked my smart watch and noted that only a minute had passed since I experienced all those things. It meant that during that one minute, my mind underwent accelerated thought processes. It wasn't a far-fetched idea considering that I could also slow down time in my dream world.
"Yeah, I'm okay," I replied with a gentle smile. There was no need for me to share my experiences; I doubted she would know anything about it in the first place.
"Okay then," she sighed in relief. "By the way , when are we going to rescue Sister Alice ?"
We had been just sitting here all this time, and without her knowing my plan, she must be under the impression that I was just doing nothing.
'What a silly girl,' I chuckled to myself, then I reconnected with my puppet in the main server room.
She slowly opened her eyes, and there was even a drool on her mouth, so I picked up a napkin and wiped it off her face.
'That's right, having emotions and urges is really better,' I chuckled to myself, allowing a lewd thought to cross my mind after seeing her cute lips.
I pondered on the paradox—wanting power to achieve freedom to do anything, yet realizing that true power might strip away the very motivation behind that desire.
'I'll cross that bridge when I get there,'I thought to myself.
"Let's go and get Alice," I spoke up.
"Are we finally attacking the base?" She stood up, ready for action.
"Yeah, just follow me and don't do anything stupid," I chuckled, patting her head.
We then walked towards the parking lot, where the entrance to the hidden underground base was located.
I pressed the elevator casually and walk inside of it.
"Are we really going to just walk inside and start killing everyone? You're so brutal, Oppa!" Rei Mei exclaimed, her eyes widening in shock.
She seemed to be getting cold feet, likely remembering how brutal and merciless I was back in North Korea.
"Oh, we are definitely walking inside," I grinned at her reaction.
"Do you have any other plans that don't involve killing a lot of people?" She asked, her tone showing her concern .
"Do you think I'm that crazy? I'm really a good guy, and I don't normally go on my way to massacre everyone. " I shook my head in denial, but she still looked at me with gazes full of doubts.
