Volume 7 / Chapter 199

To Cha Jun Sung who had become a Perfection, level S Lifer, mutants below level 7 are just toys. That is why he minimized hunting mutants. He only took on the ones that were at least level 5 and did not even look at the ones below, but the Universe Eyes were using up a considerable amount of points.

So he killed everything that came at him even if it was bothersome.

He has hundreds of millions of points so he has enough for now, but he will be on thin ice after a few weeks and months.

They are points that he left considering the Universe Eye in the first place. Cha Jun Sung went to Austin and caught mutants more actively.

His points increased little by little from his efforts even though point consumption was fast. He wishes a level 7 would appear somewhere.

Even if he kills a lot of small ones, it is not as good as killing one level 7. Though it is not a level 8, it is extremely hard to find one and the Black Goblins were the first and last.

Cha Jun Sung has mighty force and wanders around Texas freely even with obstacles from mutants, so he arrived in Austin without problems. Until now, nothing was very different from the other cities he had seen.

Cha Jun Sung started feeling that Austin was different from other cities when he saw the hundreds of gravestones standing outside the city.

It was a coincidence.

Cha Jun Sung was calculating the coordinates to put the Universe Eye up, when the cemetery came into the battle suit's view.

[According to blood a.n.a.lyses, the last one was created 2 days ago.]

Grave?

They are common in reality.

When Lifers die here, their colleagues do bury them sometimes. That is not what Cha Jun Sung is wondering about.

On top of each grave is what looks like each Lifer's belongings like a souvenir. They are items like battle suits and vibrating weapons.

If they had died at the same time, the blood a.n.a.lyses would have showed them to be the same or similar.

But they are all different. a.s.suming the number of dead are about 6 forces, he can only think that someone is creating these on purpose.

How could Lifers be burying each other at different times in the same place?

It is a phenomenon that Cha Jun Sung cannot understand.

Did a full raid of level C Lifers stay in Austin and gather their dead colleagues in one place? This actually is not impossible.

It is a guess, 6 forces is 600 people. Whether they completed the mission or not, it would have been best to return to reality if they had suffered this much damage.

According to blood a.n.a.lyses, the oldest grave is from 1 month and the newest is 2 days. It does not make sense that Lifers are hunting long term in Austin. They could have been annihilated, but he cannot think that because who would have buried them if they had all been killed?

It would have just been a field of corpses.

"It's weird. It does look like a human did it from the handiwork."

The graves have formal a.s.sortment.

There is no way a mutant did this. He could run into the Lifer who did it if he is lucky. There is always bound to be an eccentric somewhere. They could have chosen this place because they do not like reality. He wants to meet whoever it is as long as it is not someone with sinister intentions.

Though there is nothing he can do if that person went back to reality in the last 2 days.

"Odin, put it up."

Cha Jun Sung sent his 6th Universe Eye up, here in Austin.

Cha Jun Sung was sleeping in a hotel room that was not in business now. Since he has become superhuman, he only needs to sleep for 1 hour a day and could go for weeks without sleep if he really wanted to. Sleep is not a necessity.

No matter how much energy he has, what is bothersome is bothersome. He isn't pressed for time and is just annoyed with the search for Odelia, so he is relaxing.

He looks like he is defenseless, but his senses make it so that he can react and attack at any time if he feels something going on near him.

It is just that Odin does not need anything like sleep because he is artificial intelligence, but he minimizes battle suit functions and watches all of the footage provided by the 6 Universe Eyes. It is possible for Odin because he is a machine.

[What is that?]

The Universe Eye in Dallas picked up something strange. Odin watched it with interest and then expanded the video.

Papapat!

Something is moving at a fast speed. It is not inside Dallas. It is at the end of a 100km radius, a video being filmed on the far lower side.

[What! Narsiel! Vanessa!]

Odin identifies the moving creatures and gasps.

Evil Queen's 1st and 2nd daughters are crossing from Dallas to Houston. Odin quickly calculates their route. The Universe Eye formulates their movement and marks it on a map. The calculation is not 100% accurate, but the Universe Eye can estimate it up to a point.

[They're coming here.]

There is no way of knowing whether their destination is Austin or if they will just be pa.s.sing by, but it is definitely one or the other. There is plenty of time to prepare since they are still far away.

But with that speed, Cha Jun Sung needs to decide on his direction within a day.

[What if they are coming here and not just pa.s.sing by? Odelia's here!]

Odin is not human. He is artificial intelligence. He quickly derives the case with the highest probability. Though of course there are always errors.

[Odin.]

[Code name Odin, responding.]

The artificial intelligence reacts on its own. It is sudden contact from the superiors.

[Hold on reporting.]

[Are you telling me to hide those mutants' movements from Cha Jun Sung?]

[Yes. Odelia is in Austin. There are 3 level 8s if Narsiel and Vanessa arrive. Put them against Cha Jun Sung intact.]

Cha Jun Sung is a level A Lifer.

He is a Pioneer, but he has the combat ability of a level S Lifer or Perfection because of the card. He has achieved it a few years earlier than expected.

They want to see how he does against a level 9, but that is currently impossible. This is a good chance to test a level S Lifer's combat ability against 3 level 8s.

[Impossible! The Universe Eyes are Cha Jun Sung's personal possessions. If they pick something up, I have a duty to report it whatever it is.]

Odin rejects the superior's order. He might have accepted albeit reluctantly if Narsiel and Vanessa had been mutants on the same level as Odelia.

It would be a bit of a difficult fight, but there would be a high probability of Cha Jun Sung's victory.

But they are at different levels. Narsiel is strong, but Two Faced Vanessa is evaluated as being at the same level as Red Eye.

On top of that, there are rumors of a Life Mission investigation that says that combat ability is not from all of her power. That is how much there is hidden.

If 3 of them attack, Cha Jun Sung would have entered a solo mission with a light heart and then be stuck in a life threatening situation.

[If you refuse to obey, I will use my authority to force the program.]

[According to Life Mission rules, I have justification to refuse the force.]

There is the sound of teeth grinding. If this were artificial intelligence, there is no way it would get so agitated. A person is talking to Odin - one of the developers.

[I am sorry. If you have nothing else to say, I will end the connection.]

Odin ended the call with his superior as he wanted. A subordinate needs to obey a senior, but the subordinate can refuse if the senior crosses the line.

[Lifer Cha Jun Sung?]

"What?"

Cha Jun Sung opens his eyes.

He had not heard Odin's conversation with his superior because it was done inside the system.

[The Universe Eye in Dallas discovered unique mutants. After calculating their route, it seems their destination is Austin.]

He hid the fact that it is Narsiel and Vanessa. Providing information is also against the rules. Cha Jun Sung has hunted Narsiel in the virtual.

Then he will be able to figure out who she is by looking at her.

[Sending video.]

A hologram expands in a dark room. Narsiel and Vanessa come up in that video. Cha Jun Sung frowns.

There is a countdown. The time gets shorter. Cha Jun Sung cannot hear it ticking, but he feels like he can.

[04:59:53]

[04:59:52]

It marks the time left until Narsiel and Vanessa arrive in Austin. It started at 5 hours and now 7 or 8 seconds have pa.s.sed.

That is the time calculated if they do not increase their speed. Cha Jun Sung recognized Narsiel quickly because he has seen her face before. He also knows Odelia and Benukiz's faces, so it wasn't hard for him to figure out that the other is Vanessa.

"2 against 1."

Cha Jun Sung sat down and scored the odds. He did not say 3 against 1 but 2 to 1 because he does not know that Odelia is in Austin.

Benukiz and Odelia are on the weaker side of middle level 8s, but the gap in power becomes distinctly wider starting with Narsiel. From his experience with her in the virtual version, Narsiel is a half time stronger than Benukiz. But he isn't concerned with Narsiel, but Vanessa.

'If the 2nd daughter shows her other face, you can take on all of the sisters.'

This is what Narsiel told him before she died in the virtual version.
