< Answer (1) >
Blood and flesh tried to splatter in all directions, but they couldn’t move far as if they were trapped in an invisible ball, and flew out of the meeting room with their torsos while staying in the air. Along with the sound of
something
falling, the sound of the subordinates waiting outside was heard busily moving.
“You talk a lot.”
The ‘members’ whose complexion hardened at the words of the master muttering inadvertently.
Beads of sweat ran down the foreheads of some of them.
Master’s words continued, whether he knew their condition or not.
“Loss… This could be a loss. But it wasn’t the answer I was expecting. If all the damage is the same anyway, it is rather beneficial to those who defended properly. It means that you are different from others. In that sense, I think we’re defending pretty well. And depending on how you deal with it in the future, the difference will be even greater. Now let’s ask a question that even a three-year-old would know. What do you think the stock price will be tomorrow?”
Master looked around at everyone with a smile on his lips.
All of them twitched their bodies and twitched their lips as if they wanted to open their mouths.
‘Stock prices will plummet!’
‘I have to pick up the pouring property.’
‘Again we win! It’s a fight you can’t lose.’
But they didn’t come out.
That man, their master, hated moving without his orders.
In other words, I didn’t even order who would answer yet, but it was also perfect to die.
And, as expected, the Master pointed to a man.
“Hey, did you say you were one of the Rothschild successors? tell me.”
The man pointed out by the Master was James Rothschild, a white young man dressed in plain clothes.
He replied with a nervous face.
“Of course stock prices will crash. We just need to sweep up the plummeted property as we have done before. After that, when the system is normalized, you will be able to aim for huge profits. The loss now will be nothing.”
It was a very typical answer.
However, he nodded as if that was the answer Master wanted.
“right. Right now we are in a crisis and we are gathered like this, but this is not a crisis. In China, “crisis” is a combination of “danger” and “opportunity”. In other words, a crisis can be seen as a kind of opportunity. We got a chance. A chance to win again. And it will enable us to further increase our wealth and power.”
Everyone nodded as if agreeing with Master’s words.
In fact, the people sitting here were also people who did not blink an eye even when tens of millions of dollars were coming and going.
However, this situation literally evaporated an enormous amount of assets enough to buy and sell a country, so they were also forced to panic and panic.
However, the person called Master maintained his composure even in the midst of this.
Rather, he, who usually seemed to be bothered by everything, was full of excitement as if he had discovered something interesting.
“So everyone prepare for tomorrow. You’ll be pretty busy in the future. Load your bullets and put your enemies out of breath.”
Bullets are cash enemies of corporations.
Perhaps through this opportunity, they will have more companies.
And the master’s words were added.
“Oops, and most of all, keep an eye on Enlighten’s progress. This time, the guys won’t be able to take a hit either. If possible, make room for the Enlighten to dig in when it shakes.”
“yes. master.”
After such a one-sided countermeasure meeting.
Only a handful of members, including the Rothschild family and the Rockefeller family, were seated at the place where the members rushed out.
These were the actual ruling class that governed their group, including the Master.
Of course, all power and decision-making rested with the Supreme Ruler Master.
“Master, how about taking this opportunity to step forward? Occupying an entire country. Or it would be nice to take this opportunity to rule the entire world.”
The man who opened his mouth was Benjamin Rothschild, the head of the Rothschilds.
Even though he was a fairly old family head, he did not seem to have much of an age gap with his successor, James Rothschild.
And now he was asking the master to ‘rule the world’.
One group rules the world?
It sounded like a joke, but the Master with a serious expression shook his head.
“Dominate… you mean world domination. As I said before, I am very interested in conquering the world. very mean So I already achieved world domination. And I still dominate well enough.”
What the Master said was surprising.
That the world is already under his control.
Then the head of the Rockefeller family who was next to him opened his mouth.
“Master, but isn’t it from the shadows? That too in an indirect way using the economy.”
Yes.
These groups have encroached on most of the wealth of the world economy.
They were wielding economic power to control the economy of a country, deliberately launching wars, and monopolizing food and resources to attract more wealth.
After all, with these series of actions, they were determining the economic flow of the entire world and, furthermore, the future of the world.
But now, the members were urging the Master to openly dominate.
Master frowned.
“Don’t cross the line. did you forget A minority of powers will surely collapse the moment they come to the fore. It is enough behind the scenes to dominate the ignorant Moomin. And it’s still too early. The moment I can win even if I fight against the whole world, then I will go out. Do you understand?”
The Master’s voice echoed through the entire conference room.
It didn’t seem like there was any energy in particular, but the members accepted the master’s words deeply and accepted them.
“yes. All right. master.”
“I will follow Master’s opinion.”
Those who remained until the end got up from the table, bowed their heads, and left the conference room.
empty conference hall.
Master, left alone, trudged toward his room.
A strange room with a square pyramid structure that appears when you enter the ornate door.
It felt like being inside a pyramid.
And the master who sits down on the soft floor in the middle of it.
His closed eyes jumped over the space and began to illuminate a place.
In his image, countless treasures and his power that appeared on the asset value numerical system stamped on the golden mana stone bank account, the buildings of the Enlighten Group, the headquarters of the World Hunter Association, and many other places appeared and faded incessantly.
Like a clairvoyant who sits and sees through everything.
And the image of a man briefly popped up in his image.
A handsome face with a solid physique.
It was Sangwoo.
No, to be more precise, they are alter egos.
Watching the clones hunting in Korea and the United States, Master’s eyes were opened.
Dig!
Light flashed momentarily from both eyes, then faded.
‘It’s an alter ego… I’m really coveting it.’
As if waiting for a delicious prey, he licked his lips with his tongue.
* * *
Sang-woo, Lucas, and Trevor Ron headed to the reception area where they were supposed to meet Elisa.
Bless had said that he would call right away if he needed help later, but he remained at his seat.
The meeting place was the Tronsa building located in Silicon Valley, USA.
“How many buildings does Tron own?”
“Well I don’t know exactly. Lately, everything has been managed by Elisa.”
Trevor Lorne replied as if he didn’t know.
The inside of the building was quiet, probably because of the public opinion of confiscation and criticism of Tronsa.
Sang-woo and Lucas couldn’t find a single person.
“Have you all quit the company? There are no people.”
“Originally, there are hardly any. It’s because the trend was to hire only the best engineers and automate the rest with robots.”
I didn’t expect an answer, but Trevor answered.
Listening to his words, I passed through the empty lobby and headed downstairs through the elevator.
The fact of Sang-woo’s visit had already been conveyed to Elisa through surveillance cameras, etc. The door opened and moved by itself.
And the underground lab finally arrived.
It was similar to a laboratory in the Nevada desert.
The only difference was that the person sitting in the middle was a woman, not Trevor Lorne.
“…Hello?”
Upon entering the lab, Lucas cautiously asked her, who was showing her back.
Then the woman turned to greet them.
Her appearance was that of the cloned human he had seen before.
“…Elisa.”
said Trevor Lorne in a trembling voice.
The cloned human being called Elisa smiled and opened her mouth.
“Doctor, you are alive.”
Speaking English with a near-perfect accent and tone, Elisa walked slowly and stood in front of Sang-woo and his group.
She seemed convinced that Trevor was real, as if she didn’t even need to check.
“George Lucas and Jung Woo Hunter. Thank you for saving Dr.”
she speaks politely.
Sang-woo also answered bewildered.
“Ah yes. What.”
I was sorry to answer.
‘Isn’t this?’
It felt like I was getting caught up in the face without even realizing it.
And Elisha continued.
“As you may have heard from the doctor, if you return him, we will completely shut down the mayhem system.”
She said she would stop the chaos system caused by AI Elisa.
Yes.
The woman standing in front of Sang-woo right now was the artificial intelligence Elisa.
“…Are you AI Elisa?”
“yes. The Elisa created by the doctor is me. Now, this body is the body of Clone 272, the latest clone of ‘Elisa’, with my data installed.”
Besides, putting artificial intelligence into cloned humans?
As if watching a sci-fi movie, Sang-woo felt a sense of unreality.
But on the contrary, I got a little goosebumps.
‘Aren’t cloned humans ruling over humans later on?’
It looked exactly like a person, and there was no awkwardness at all in the accent.
If you didn’t know that he was a cloned person, you would just think of him as a human being.
In addition, what if the excellent intelligence of artificial intelligence is added to the cloned human?
Humanity’s place would be gone.
It gave me goosebumps when I imagined that.
‘…don’t mind. The important thing now is whether or not to stop the great chaos system.’
Sang-woo looked at Lucas, holding his heart together.
Lucas nodded as well, looking at Sangwoo.
The answer to Elisha’s request had already been decided.
“great. I’m handing over Mr. Trevor Lorne right now. Therefore, please stop the mayhem system operation and restore the destroyed data.”
It’s a pity that we have to hand over Trevor, a terrible criminal, but the problem we are facing now is bigger than that, and even if we recover, we have to suffer tremendous damage.
In the end, if you want to minimize the damage or make it happen, it’s best to hand over Trevor Ron.
‘Because he’s an old man who will die without Bless anyway.’
It had already been quite some time since Bless hadn’t been exposed to Seongcheonpo, so Trevor Ron was already falling apart.
But for some reason, Trevor didn’t show it off.
‘What kind of plan is deceiving.’
In some ways, he seemed like a warm-hearted old man like the grandfather next door, and in some ways, he looked like a mad scientist who was engulfed in madness, and he was an erratic man.
Sang-woo urged Trevor, hiding his anxiety.
“Trevor, go over there now.”
“Um… okay.”
The diminutive Trevor walked over and stood in front of Elisa.
Elisa looks at Trevor with a thrilled expression.
She suddenly hugged Trevor.
“Doctor!”
“…Elisa.”
Trevor was also taken aback by the sudden embrace, but he soon warmly wrapped Elisa’s body in a hug.
The two of them hugging for a while.
‘Is he an artificial intelligence? just like a girl It’s so free to express emotions.’
Elisa’s expression changed so colorfully that Sang-woo thought of that while watching the Shinpa of the two of them.
It was to the point that even the stream of tears flowed down.
Again-
Eventually, wiping away the tears running down her cheeks, Elisa pushed Trevor away and looked at Sang-woo and Lucas.
“The mayhem system is down. And the deleted economic asset data is being restored because I was keeping it separately. Please note that recovery will be completed in 8 hours.”
Hearing those words, Sang-woo momentarily let out a sigh of relief.
‘Huh, fortunately, it’s being restored. I thought 400 billion of my money evaporated.’
And as I was about to say thank you, I suddenly realized that they were criminals.
“All right.”
“Let’s check it out from time to time. Rather, Elisha. Trevor’s condition is not good. We are not responsible as we have guided Trevor, but it seems that his life will end soon. Can you promise me you won’t restart the mayhem system, though?”
Lucas spoke cautiously.
Anyone can see that Trevor has grown old.
He would die soon.
But how can you be sure that Elisa, who has already gone mad over Trevor’s death, won’t cause chaos again?
That’s why Lucas was asking Elisha right now.
I mean, are you really okay?
“Doctor is dying? It’s not possible.”
And the answer that came out of Elisa’s mouth was a negative answer that Lucas didn’t expect, but expected to some extent.
“But…”
“It’s okay. Elisha. Stop it.”
The moment Lucas opened his mouth to rebut, Trevor opened his mouth instead.
He held Elisa’s hand and smiled softly.
“This is enough. you’ve done enough And me too. I am so satisfied with just being able to see Elisa, whom I loved, again. So stop now.”
“But Doctor… I am not the real Elisa.”
AI Elisa.
She was named after Trevor’s lover, Elisa.
“Okay. I am satisfied just by seeing Elisa alive and breathing like this. And… strangely enough, you look exactly like Elisa from before. Just like the first time I saw her…”
Trevor’s eyes widened and he stroked Elisa’s cheek.
Then Elisa’s face turned red.
Her hand caught Trevor’s hand.
“Doctor…”
Without saying a word, the two people, or one person and one artificial intelligence, stood still.
An old man who looks like a mummy on the verge of death and a pretty young white beauty.
It was a completely unsuitable combination.
And seeing them like that, Sang-woo felt something cheesy and sad for some reason.
Meanwhile, Lucas was looking at them with a complicated expression.
Because his mind was really complicated.
‘Fortunately, the mayhem system was also stopped and it worked out. Thankfully, the favor I got from going to the Oracle despite my shame is no longer needed. More than that, the problem is the beginning of the work… The cause of the cataclysm is Trevor himself… He will die soon, so I must hear the reason.’
Lucas wanted to know exactly why Trevor was the cause of the cataclysm.
The story of creating a portal with Project Rainbow.
However, because of the situation, I couldn’t find the timing to talk about it.
However, a situation where Trevor, who has grown old, does not know how much time is left.
I had to make a decision.
‘You can’t make lifelong regrets with a moment’s hesitation. One regret is enough.’
Lucas made up his mind and opened his mouth.
“I’m really sorry to break the mood over there, but I have a question for you, Mr. Trevor. About Project Rainbow. I kept asking earlier, and now I want to hear the answer. Why do you say that what happened almost 70 years ago is the cause of the cataclysm?”
At that, Trevor looked at Lucas with a calm expression.
