The Extra's Odyssey Chapter 125 [Bonus ] Psychic

Chapter 125 [Bonus ] Psychic

--(Before Huntress contacted Leon and Iris)--

"What did you say?"

-There is another party..Phzzt..searching for the 'item'.

In an underground place with heavy machinery, a lanky person talked into his earpiece.

"How did the information leak? The number of people who know about the 'item' can be counted on one hand."f????e??ov?l.???

-Phzzt..I don't know.

Hearing Huntress reply, the man ma.s.saged his brows.

Behind him was a large sphere made of mechanical gears hovering in mid-air. Currently, none of the gear of the sphere was moving.

The sphere was the source of energy that supplied the energy to the whole Underworld.

The man was 'Psychic', the 3rd ranked member of the Goliath Unit, after the captain and vice-captain.

Due to his ability to read, control and manipulate minds, he was the one responsible for infiltrating the location of the Underworld's energy core.

In front of him was a floating disc. This disc was the energy EMP responsible for preventing all the devices from running on backup power throughout the Underworld.

"This is why I said we should have bought more members."

-It wasn't possible to bring more..Phztt..members. Umbra would have been alerted otherwise.

Stealing the 'item' was the easiest task of their infiltration. The other two tasks, namely drawing attention and shutting down the energy core, were the real hurdles.

Their three-man squad having Huntress, the vice-captain of the Unit, and himself was the most suitable for this job.

As for Seer, although she wasn't strong in direct combat, with the suit made by 'Techno', she shouldn't have problems doing her job.

"So, you want me to find the other party?"

-Yes,..Phzzt..remove the limiter.

His brows further furrowed.

Indeed, that way, he could easily read the mind of everyone present inside the Underworld. Moreover, with the energy supply shut down, there won't be any interference, but…

"Are you sure?"

-Phzzzt

"f.u.c.king static." He muttered under his breath before asking Huntress again.

Their earpieces were working on a special frequency to avoid being shut by the EMP disk.

Techno had said that the earpieces would work properly, but it seemed it wasn't true.

-I will take all responsibility. Remove your limiter.

Psychic sighed deeply.

"I'll be going offline then."

He removed the earpiece and crushed it under his foot.

-Bang!

The door to the room was blown away, and a dozen people entered the room.

They were wearing clothes with Underworld insignia.

"Hands up! One move and we will blow your head off!"

Psychic's gaze swept at the marksmen, mages, and warriors who were threatening him to surrender.

"Hands up! This is your last warning!"

Ignoring the warning, Psychic pressed one finger over his forehead. Immediately, a mechanical voice resonated in his head.

[Psychic is requesting to remove the limiter.]

[Waiting for permission]

[Permission denied]

[Huntress has intervened with the decision-making AI. Permission has been forcibly given.]

Snap-

"Fi-!"

The commander of the squad suddenly froze.

Amidst the confusion of his troops, he turned around and…

Tuk-! Tuk-! Tuk-! Tuk-! Tuk-!

..fired firing at his own troops!

However, the next events were more shocking.

The troops didn't stop the commander but started attacking each other!

All of them had hazy eyes and kept attacking each other until their last breath.

"This will do."

Psychic mumbled as he saw the troops that had come to catch him killing each other.

After creating a mental barrier around the room, he closed his eyes.

"Let's start."

Immediately, a network of bright lights starting started forming in his mind.

All these lights were the minds of the people present Underworld.

In a dozen seconds, his mind was able to scan the entire Underworld, creating a ma.s.sive network in his mind.

Without minding the ear-shattering noises, he focused on the area where the network was most unstable.

He focused at a certain point.

The lights in the area were blinking randomly, showing the unrest the people were in.

He quickly found the brightest light and zoomed into it.

He found himself watching a group of three people.

One was a woman with purple hair and wearing a mask. One was an old man with a monocle.

The last was a lady with red hair flowing down her back.

"Is that the rumored sword maiden…."

He was about to focus on Iris' mind when-

-she turned at looked at directly him.

"Holy s.h.i.+t!"

Psychic zoomed his focus out in a split second.

"Huff..huff..did she look at me? Is that even possible?"

He tried to deny it as it wasn't possible, but he was sure, Sure, that those blood-red eyes looked at him.

A thin line of sweat gathered on his forehead.

"I should be careful"

He again focused on that area, but this time, he kept away from Iris.

Even if he was a Pseudo-Irregular he didn't want to go against Iris, the Sword Maiden, and 4th Irregular.

He quickly swept the mind off the people at the arena.

After removing his limiter, he was able to go through the memories of multiple people at once.

But nothing came up.

There was no one who knew about the possible perpetrators behind the explosives.

He was looking around as fast as possible when he found someone.

"Mr. Pepe..."

He saw Mr. Pepe's feats in the memories of the spectators and knew the possibility of Mr. Pepe being an Irregular.

Even if he wasn't an Irregular, he decided to check his mind to find the information about the organization that raised him.

"Pardon the intrusion."

Saying so, he entered Mr. Pepe's mind.

*

"What the f.u.c.k is this place?"

Psychic spoke aloud as he looked around himself.

An infinite s.p.a.ce, dozens of stars far away, and the light-sucking wall of darkness.

Every soul is different and but not once has he ever seen a soul like this.

"Unending"

This was the only word that came to his mouth after looking at Nathan's soul.

Souls normally take the most memorable memory of the person.

It can be a memory of playing in the park, a memory of your loved ones, or the image of the goal you strive for.

But in every case, the person's mind, or soul as most call it, is limited.

Crossing the edge of the mind is what allows Psychic to read someone's memory. However, the current situation confused him.

This was the first time he had seen a soul that seemed infinite.

"Where the f.u.c.k is the Soul core?"

A soul core was the manifestation of a person inside their soul. It is the physical appearance of one's stigma inside their soul.

However, Nathan's soul was too big that he doubted he could find the soul core.

Touching the Soul core is what allows Psychic to leave the mind of the person.

He ma.s.saged his brows as he realized the predicament he was in.

"What should I do?"

Time inside the soul flows differently, but it still flows.

With no other choice, Psychic went toward the wall of endless darkness, the Veil.

Vupp-

His figure disappeared and reappeared in front of the Veil.

Standing in front of the Veil, he realized that it was pitch black.

The Veil was sucking all light that was present inside the soul.

"Here goes nothing."

Firming his mind, he stretched his hands and walked to the other side.
