< Great Confusion (1) >
As the heat disappears, figures enter through the perforated entrance.
They were Sang-woo’s alter egos.
The solid entrance was pierced with a single shot with the Nuclear Laser.
‘Crush everything!’
Sang-woo decided that the core of the artificial intelligence called Elisa should be destroyed.
So, as soon as he thought about it, the clones each jumped from inside the main laboratory.
Then, Elisa started to smash the glowing mechanical arms she was controlling.
Kwagwagwang-!
Whoops!
The interior of the main laboratory, which is being destroyed.
However, some of the mechanical arms among them were very hard and could not be broken, probably made of the same material as the metal that made up the outer wall of this secret lab.
Currently, due to the mana jamming phenomenon occurring inside, the skills cannot be properly used.
Since they were fighting almost exclusively with their bodies, the attacks of these mechanical arms were very difficult.
‘We have to attack outside the main lab.’
Time continued to flow and Sang-woo thought there was no answer.
It is said that an artificial intelligence called Elisa will start a ‘major chaos system’ and a ‘self-destruct system’.
Something was going on and I couldn’t waste my time in this sluggish state.
“Lucas, let’s go outside!”
“All right!”
Lucas launched the new model and ran toward the broken entrance.
It was pretty fast.
However, Sang-woo, who always saw him disappearing and reappearing, felt awkward when he saw Lucas running with his arms and legs diligently.
‘Oh come to your senses. That’s not important right now.’
Sang-woo and his clones, who had lost their thoughts, also escaped through the entrance in perfect order.
And as soon as I stepped out of the entrance, I felt the smooth use of my skills.
‘it’s okay. Then…’
Sang-woo shouted at Lucas.
“Mister Lucas, this place will explode soon. Please take all the other hunters outside!”
“yes!”
“Communicate when everyone escapes!”
Lucas nodded at Sang-woo’s words and disappeared.
Pod!
Seeing that, Sang-woo also opened a sub-space.
Souuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu –
the alter egos jumping into the subspace one by one.
Except for the two alter egos, all the alter egos returned through subspace.
Afterwards, one of the clones worked hard with their limbs and ran towards the outside of the Tronsa Lab, and only the other clone remained and waited at the entrance of the main laboratory where Trevor Ron was.
‘…wait. When communication comes in, it explodes right away.’
Sang-woo waited impatiently.
1 second 2 seconds… 10 seconds 11 seconds…
By the time precious time goes by fast.
Sang-woo, who was looking inside the main laboratory from outside the entrance, caught something in his eyes.
‘That’s…’
It was Trevor Ron’s corpse that had been grossly distorted.
Sangwoo’s eyes shone.
After that, he went into the main laboratory for a while, picked up his corpse, and came out of the entrance.
It was not difficult to recover because only the neck was in a very clean state.
[Sub-space]
Sang-woo put Trevor Lorne’s body in the sub-space.
At the same time
-Sangwoo-ssi all came out to the ground!
Lucas’s communication rang.
Sang-woo heard the words and immediately activated the skill.
[Body nuclear reaction]
At the same time, the body of Sang-woo’s alter ego started to glow hotly.
‘run!’
The alter ego dutifully obeyed Sang-woo’s orders and jumped into the main laboratory even while the unprecedented energy was seething all over the body and causing pain. And then
Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaang
-!!!
It exploded in the middle of the lab.
Tremendous pressure burst from a confined space.
The energy surged like a raging sword and soared to the ground.
Kwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwang-!
Piles of earth and building debris rise to a height of almost hundreds of meters.
Lucas and the hunters who were outside were taken aback by the sudden explosion, but all were safe.
Pod!
It was because they were all far away due to Lucas’s teleportation thanks to an alter ego sent by Sang-woo in advance.
and after some time
Only a huge crater was hollowed out in the middle of the desert in the place where the tsunami of rising soil piles had subsided.
everything is over
-What the hell is going on…
Someone muttered with a dejected expression.
So did the others.
It was because Lucas came out to the ground after fighting the cloned people like crazy, and the research center exploded shortly thereafter.
From their point of view, they couldn’t even see the final boss, and they worked hard to catch only junk mobs (of course, very strong junk mobs), and something ended.
– Lucas, how did this happen? Did you catch Trevor Lorne?
Dan Villerian asked.
Lucas nodded.
-Trevor Lorne is dead. And the lab just exploded.
-Then the mission is over.
The Hunters were buzzing at those words.
-I didn’t even see Trevor Ron’s face, but he said it was over.
-me too.
– But I’m glad it’s over. Those crazy twins… I don’t want to deal with them again.
A clone of Kang Jun-young developed to the level of a tolerable S-class hunter.
They were satisfied that the battle was over, as everyone was tired of struggling against the clones.
but what
It was a time when everyone was happy that the mission was over and was just waiting to go back.
Lucas’ complexion hardened as he communicated with the temporary task force on the search for Tronsa.
-…All right.
After completing the communication, Lucas opened his mouth to everyone with a serious expression.
-I don’t think your situation is over.
The Hunters are dumbfounded by that statement.
– It’s not over yet?
Trevor Lawn himself died, but the work isn’t over yet.
Looking at them confused, Lucas continued.
-yes. Confusion is happening all over the world right now. Because of the people who have seizures and… the economy.

Song Tae-moon, Mayor of Gangdong-gu, Seoul.
He was not an honest person.
From before the cataclysm to now, while serving as a civil servant, he has been on the rise and has risen to the post of mayor.
In particular, in the course of the chaotic situation during the cataclysm and the subsequent hiatus, he received a lot of back money, and in the process, he was building a lot of personal connections.
Is that why?
After gaining some money and fame, what he found was ‘youth’.
He heard about the rejuvenating drug DEP through a friend he knew.
‘Remodeling DNA and transforming it into a new one? You get younger in the process.’
Afterwards, it was a natural step for Song Tae-moon to purchase and use the drug after learning about the existence of the drug.
He contacted through a broker, purchased the drug and used it.
The changes since then have been amazing.
The greasy belly, which had grown up due to frequent drinking, disappeared without a trace.
The wrinkles created by the weight of the years have also tightened.
The peeling forehead also boasted of tightness.
Song Tae-moon transformed into a mid-late 30’s appearance in just one day.
Everyone was taken aback by his changed appearance, but his words of ‘awakened’ explained everything.
From then on, his life was in its second heyday.
I was also satisfied with sleeping with my young and pretty lover.
The work within the ward office was also well done, as if it had returned to its youthful days.
Most of all, thanks to her neat appearance, she was easily liked by people.
“Mayor, aren’t you very strong? To see you look so young all at once.”
“that’s right. I saw him before, and his forearms… he was really manly. Ho Ho.”
Previously, half of the rumors about the female staff at the district office were unpleasant, but at some point, most of them responded positively.
Is that why?
Song Tae-moon’s popularity grew day by day.
< Gangdong-gu Office Mascot Song Tae-moon >
< Pretty Boy District Chief >
< Gangdong-gu recently ranked as the best city to live in > < Gangdong-gu has a wind of innovation >
Wriggling-
Something that had been sleeping in Song Tae-moon’s head wriggled.
and.
Song Tae-moon’s life, which seemed to be going well, turned into a bubble at once with that wriggling moment.
The focus disappeared from his bright eyes.
He suddenly became mechanically rigid.
Then, he suddenly accessed his desktop PC, logged in to the administrative system, and started rejecting all payments.
[Companion]
[Companion]
[Companion]
[Companion]
…Song Tae-moon rejects even normal payments such as free meals to the orphanage every month and payment for drinking water and electricity.
After completing all the payments in an unusual way, he got up from his seat and headed to the district office document storage room.
“welcome. Mayor.”
The staff around the filing room greeted me with a knowing look.
However, Song Tae-moon went into the filing room while waiting to receive the greeting.
“…he chews on words.”
She felt bad, but she let it go.
After all, he is his own business.
Then, he wrote down his superior’s name in the entry record and turned off his mind about Song Tae-moon.
But after a while.
She had to get on her nerves again.
“Miyoung, where is the burnt smell?”
“huh? That’s right. what?”
Miyoung sniffed and realized that the smell came from the closed filing room.
‘no way…!’
Surprised, Mi-young hurriedly opened the door to the document storage room.
OK.
Whoa!
Hot flames blazed through the door.
“Mom!”
Miyoung fell to the floor to avoid the hot flames.
And another employee who was watching it.
she screamed.
“Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! fire! It’s on fire!”
When a panicked employee is stamping their feet.
Miyoung quickly got up and called 911.
“It’s 119 over there, right? This is Gangdong-gu Office. There was a fire…”
And by the time she was talking on the phone, other employees heard the commotion and rushed to put out the fire using a fire extinguisher.
how much time has passed like that
“Aaaaaagh!”
A male employee who was blowing a fire extinguisher into the filing room was thrown out of the filing cabinet with terrifying force.
It bounced so hard that the male employee’s limbs were broken when he hit the wall.
At first glance, it is mediocre.
“Mr. Seong-gil!”
“Are you all right!”
when everyone was confused.
Someone stumbled out of the filing room, which was covered in smoke.
The clothes were gone, as if they had been burned, and the skin was red and hot with burns, distorted and disgusting.
But at the same time, his body recovers rapidly.
As he began to return, his face was clearly the same as that of Song Tae-moon.
“The former mayor…!”
when someone calls out to him.
Song Tae-moon looked at him.
And then.
puck!
Song Tae-moon, who blew away and disappeared, put his fist into the chest of the man who called him.
“Cuck!”
The man whose chest was pierced died on the spot, leaving behind a scream.
Song Tae-moon takes out his bloody arm.
He looked around again.
And then it flew a new one again.
“Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”
* * *
Lucas continued.
-Currently, it is said that many people who show symptoms of seizures are found mainly in high-ranking officials in each country. They are now attacking everyone around them indiscriminately, so they say they are suppressing them.
Hearing those words, Sang-woo immediately remembered Elisha.
The ‘major chaos system’ that the artificial intelligence did.
– No way… Is it a chaos system?
When Sang-woo asked, Lucas nodded quietly.
– It seems so.
-Mayhem system? What is it?
At that, Lucas began to explain to everyone.
-When Trevor Lone died, the artificial intelligence he seems to have created started the ‘Great Confusion System’. Perhaps the recent incident that started happening after Trevor Lone’s death seems to be because of this ‘major chaos system’.
-Ah…
-…Trevor Ron is different even after death. Ha…
While everyone was frustrated, Lucas added.
– And now that’s not the point. I have more work.
-yes?
-Someone is trying to hack into banks and safes simultaneously by intervening in each country’s economic system. Some of them have already been pierced. So, I think you should check everyone’s bank account balance now. I… have already stolen a few.
Lucas said it was no big deal, but the other hunters weren’t.
-yes?
-What nonsense…
-Fuck! My balance is 0 won? where did my money go!
Someone checked the balance and screamed.
Hunters hurriedly check their balance with the smart goggles banking app.
After that, sighs and screams flowed from everywhere.
-Oh my God, my money… $200 million is gone.
– I have eighty million dollars. Crazy…
-I lost 900 million reals…
-Aaaaaaaa! fuck! my money!!!
With most of them tearing their hair out.
Sang-woo was also on the phone with Kang Jun-mo in a hurry.
“Agent, can you check your bank account balance right now?”
-yes? Ah yes. Let’s check it out now. wait a minute.
and after a while
Kang Jun-mo answered with a trembling voice.
-Huh Hunter. Your balance… Your balance is $0.
“yes?”
Sang-woo expected a negative ending to some extent, but the moment he heard that his balance was 0 won, his heart went blank.
– No matter which account you open, it’s all the same. It’s all zero…. What is this?
“…Looks like there’s something wrong… I see. For now, don’t panic and stay still. If I find out anything, I will share it.”
After Sang-woo talked to Jun-mo Kang, he went to Lucas.
Then he opened his personal correspondence and started a conversation.
– Lucas, I was robbed too. Isn’t this a huge problem? I think there will be economic paralysis.
At that, Lucas nodded with a serious expression.
-It’s already starting, and fortunately, countries have started responding by cutting off all connections to online servers to protect their cash reserves. But this happened so quickly that it happened in most countries. I’ve saved some, but I think it will take a very long time to figure out the situation and deal with the confusion.
To think he was robbed of the world’s No. 1 group, Enlighten.
Although he didn’t talk about it, it was clear that an amount far exceeding the budget of most countries would have disappeared.
Still, he was talking like nothing happened.
-Looking at the current situation, it seems that the last time the artificial intelligence called Elisa was uploading was online. And it looks like they’re crippling the economy first with the cornerstone of the mayhem system.
– Hmm… That’s a big deal. So now, unless we can’t get rid of Elisa online, should we shut down online?
-yes. That’s right. It would have to be built entirely from scratch.
To think that all of the online world has been eroded by artificial intelligence.
As soon as even one server was connected, it was over.
‘I have to get rid of the artificial intelligence called Elisa… Maybe Trevor Ron has a way.’
Sang-woo remembered Trevor Ron’s corpse in his subspace.
‘What if I could find a solution by resurrecting him?’
In Sang-woo’s mind, the face of Bless, the man who could resurrect Trevor Lorne, flashed past.
And Bless was now in front of him.
While shining like crazy.
“FUUUUUUUUUCK! MY MONEY!”
