< Great Confusion (2) >
Perhaps Bless John Scully’s wealth has also evaporated.
Watching Bless get angry while constantly swearing, the Hunters around her also slowly drifted away.
Sang-woo conveyed his thoughts to Lucas about him doing such a fucking (?).
-Mr. Lucas actually recovered Trevor John’s body before I left the lab. That’s why…
It was Sang-woo’s plan to resurrect Trevor Ron to stop the runaway AI Elisa.
Hearing that, Lucas nodded as if he had a point.
– That’s a good idea. But there is a problem. It’s questionable whether the resurrected Trevor John will cooperate with us, and there’s no guarantee that he won’t turn into a monster again. If you recklessly resurrect it and do anything, you will get out of control.
It was his talk about making a decision more carefully.
But Sang-woo became impatient.
-However, even with Bless’ ability, he said that it is difficult to resurrect old corpses. It can only be brought back to life after it has been dead for a while. However, about 30 minutes have already passed. I don’t even know how much time is left.
-Yes. As far as I know, it is less than 2 hours at most.
In other words, it meant that there would be no time to resurrect Trevor Lorne forever if not now.
to revive or not
moment of choice.
Lucas quietly called Bless.
-Mr. Bless?
Then, Bless, who was running rampant, stopped and turned her gaze to Lucas.
His eyes were full of irritation and anger.
-what?
-I have a favor to ask you.
-What.
-Please save one person.
Bless’s expression changed instantly at those words.
He crossed his arms and raised his chin.
– It’s not difficult to save him. That is, if the conditions are met.
He seemed to sense that he had the upper hand.
The situation where all the property has already disappeared.
It was a time when not a single penny was enough, so Bless was thinking of extracting money as much as possible.
– Would you like ten million dollars?
The deal offered by Lucas.
In terms of Korean currency, it was equivalent to 10 billion won.
Bless’s eyes widened.
He secretly estimated between 4 and 5 million dollars, but he called for double that.
-Joe good… No, I’ll give you 20 million dollars.
He suddenly had the guts to call out louder.
Then Lucas shook his head.
– It was a waste of time to negotiate, so I called it out loud. Ten million dollars would be twice as much as Mr. Bless had in mind, wouldn’t it?
-Hmm… But still. that things have changed Who knows if the value of the currency will plummet in a situation where all the money has evaporated. And if there’s someone other than me who can resurrect them, I’ll call them.
– Still, 20 million dollars will be difficult.
Bless is slightly taken aback by Lucas’ determined words.
There.
-Sangwoo, I’m sure it won’t work. Just do something that never happened.
When Lucas looked at Sang-woo and shook his head, Bless’ complexion darkened.
Lucas looked at Sang-woo and slightly winked, not knowing if he knew Bless’ reaction.
‘hmm? what?’
Sang-woo, wondering what this meant, hesitated for a moment, then opened his mouth.
-Mr. Bless, just do it for 10 million dollars. What we’re trying to do is resurrect Trevor Lorne to get rid of the AI that’s eating away at the economic system right now. In other words, if this job goes well, Mr. Bless’ property can be restored.
Hearing that, Blessed quickly nodded.
The negotiation itself almost collapsed, but the opportunity to eat 10 million dollars came up, but I’m not an idiot to refuse it.
Besides, isn’t it a good request that might solve the problem now?
-good. I’ll do it for ten million dollars. Please do the deposit once this problem is solved. Or prepare it in kind.
-Mr. Bless, don’t you know me? Promises must be kept.
Afterwards, Sang-woo led them to a sub-space.
[Sub-space]
Swoop-
A door opened in the air and the three people entered it.
There was a body that looked like a monster that could not be called a human now that had run away from its head.
A huge corpse with a brownish tinge.
-Hey, is this Trevor Ron? what monster are you?
-that’s right. So please hurry up.
-…I think it’s just a monster… I don’t know. not my responsibility
Bless muttered and placed Trevor Lorne’s neck on the corpse.
Then, he used his proprietary patent ‘Seongcheonpo’.
[Seongcheonpo]
A cloud of light formed in the air above the skyless subspace, and soon a pillar of light fell toward Trevor Ron’s body.
Shoot it
was a huge performance to cover the entire small room.
Then, Trevor Lorne’s neck, which had been severed, was restored as the seams that had been cut were neatly glued together as if time were rewinding backwards.
That wasn’t all.
In addition, Trevor Ron’s body, which turned brown and turned into a strange creature, gradually began to return to human form.
‘uh? It also restores that human body transformation?’
While Sang-woo looked at him with surprised eyes.
Trevor Ron was already restored to the way he was when Sang-woo first saw him.
But the change did not end there.
From there, Trevor Lorne’s body gradually grows old.
– What is it?
Bless was also taken aback when he saw that.
– Mr. Bless! stop!
-uh? uh.
When Lucas hurriedly stopped him, Bless stopped using the Seongcheonpo.
Holy power that has faded like that.
As the golden glow that had filled the entire subspace faded, Trevor Lon’s figure became more clearly visible.
The body that looked like it was going to explode went somewhere, and all that was left was the figure of an old man with a skinny skeleton.
-…I think this is ruined?
When Sang-woo mumbled, everyone nodded as if in agreement.
Trevor Lorne’s eyes, almost mummified, opened gently.
“…here.”
Trevor Ron, who had struggled to twitch his eyelids, turned his head to look at Sang-woo and Lucas Bless.
“Mr. Trevor Lone. Are you coming to your senses?”
Lucas asked.
Then Trevor Lorne looked at him.
A faint smile appeared on his face.
“…okay. Jumper… I remember talking to you… and the young man down there…”
He seemed to remember everything.
However, the figure looked like a person who would die soon, making the viewers anxious.
-Mr. Bless, do you have any skills that help you recover your energy?
-energy? Everything is solved in Seongcheonpo. But just looking at that man, it seems like even the minimum amount of vitality has been sucked out. In that case, it would be possible to maintain it to some extent with Seongcheonpo, but I can’t survive.
Blaise’s explanation was as follows.
Everyone has a life force that maintains their life to some extent like a jar.
But what if there is a hole in the pot?
It will become a bottomless poison.
– No matter how much you fill it up with Seongpempo, it’s difficult to recover if it leaks out one after another. That old man will die in the end.
In other words, Trevor Lone was terminally ill.
Sang-woo asked for it.
– Still, you have to live as much as possible. Seongcheonpo, please.
-Hmm… Okay.
He also resurrected a person, but it felt bad because he didn’t seem to be able to resurrect properly.
Shoot Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh,
the Seongcheonpo was unfolded.
“Hmm… now I’m feeling a little better.”
Trevor Lorne, who struggled to say each word, finally began to speak properly.
From then on, a full-fledged conversation with Trevor Lorne began.
Lucas asked directly.
“Mr. Trevor Lone, Elisa started what is now the Mayhem system. Do you know anything about this?”
“Mayhem system? Huh… it worked. Of course you know. I designed it.”
“What is it? The entire world economy is paralyzed right now.”
Lucas said with a serious expression.
But Trevor Lorne chuckled.
“Only the economy? I don’t think so.”
“yes?”
“The Great Confusion system is a system created to retaliate if the existence of Tronsa is endangered by an external attack. Among them, if I die, it becomes a trigger. First, through parasites secured through DEP, terrorism is applied to the entire administrative system, regardless of civilian government, and Elisa is uploaded online to take control of all networks. Economic paralysis is one of them, and hacking of military weapons, including satellite hacking, will be on the way. Maybe hacking a missile center or a nuclear facility will take some time to prepare the Guarder-037 robots or drone parasite agents because they require actual deployment operations. And all munitions factories in Tronsa will mass-produce combat weapons and carry out retaliatory terrorism.”
In a word, it was a retaliation system that said that if I was to perish, the whole world would perish as well.
“…Trevor… you’re crazy.”
“Right. I’m crazy… since I’ve ruined the world like this anyway, what’s the problem if I get rid of it with my own hands?”
He laughed self-deprecatingly.
‘That person must have been a madman originally.’
After resurrecting it, it seemed that something had returned to normal, but after talking about it, his personality was literally abnormal.
Sang-woo shook his head and asked.
“So you’re saying you can stop the mayhem system or not?”
When I asked in Korean, Lucas translated for Trevor, who couldn’t understand.
“Yes. A word from me can stop it.”
“really? Then please stop. right now.”
Lucas asked, looking at Trevor.
Actually, I didn’t know if he would listen to that request or not, but that was the only way for now.
‘…If even Trevor Lone can’t solve it… then I’ll have to go find her.’
A person passed through Lucas’ head, but he soon shook off the thought.
And Trevor nodded his head unexpectedly.
“Okay. I will give you an order to stop immediately. Do you have smart goggles?”
At that, Sangwoo took extra smart goggles from one side of the subspace and put them in Trevor Ron’s ears.
I had to wear it on my alter egos from time to time, so I had already stocked up on several hundred million won worth of smart goggles.
“It’s pretty new. Hmm wait.”
Still lying on the soft carpeted floor of the subspace, Trevor Ron’s hands frenziedly moved in the air.
It seemed that something was being manipulated through the hologram screen of the smart goggles.
how much time has passed like that
“Hmm…”
Trevor Ron’s fingers stopped flying in the air, and he let out a deep sigh.
Lucas asked nervously.
“How was it?”
“…I managed to stop it for now. It’s just…”
Everyone’s faces turned bright when he said positively that he had stopped.
However, everyone was nervous at the same time because the negative word ‘just’ was added behind his words.
“Anyway, it seems that the Elisa that was uploaded online has an ego. They say they won’t stop completely until they see me in person.”
“Kuhmm…”
It was something ambiguous and awkward.
Lucas asked.
“So, if Elisa, the artificial intelligence, identifies Trevor, you mean to stop all the chaos systems?”
“I don’t know. He’s just repeating that he wants to see me. There must be something wrong…”
Old Trevor also looked puzzled.
An ambiguous state that is neither resolved nor resolved.
Sang-woo, who was listening to their conversation, said a word.
“Just face it? Well, anyway, there’s no way to bring down an artificial intelligence called Elisa online. If you look at the owner who made it, maybe something will come up, so let me show you Mr. Trevor Ron.”
In a way, it was an unavoidable result from the position of other human beings such as Sang-woo and Lucas, who are in the position of Eul.
Lucas nodded too.
“All right. Then, Mr. Trevor, please confirm with Elisa how you will check whether he is alive or dead.”
“Okay.”
Again, Trevor’s hands moved busily.
“Please keep an eye on Sang-woo and Bless for a while. I will go outside.”
“yes. All right.”
Sang-woo opened the subspace and let Lucas out.
Lucas left subspace.
Pod!
He went straight to his ‘Plan B’.
In order to meet a woman with the name ‘Oracle’.
* * *
That time.
The basement of a luxurious mansion in England.
It was a British architectural trend to renovate and expand the basement due to British building laws that prevented the construction of high-rise buildings and defense against monster invasion.
Fittingly, secret meetings were taking place there, despite being on the basement floor, equipped with a gorgeous pool and ultra-luxurious party and golf facilities.
“Master, 48% of Goldman Sachs’ financial assets, excluding physical assets, have evaporated. We are working on restoring the data that was backed up at the time of the regular inspection in January at the beginning of the year, but it is not easy.”
“JP Morgan is even worse. Because most of our assets were recorded with our online servers, 80% of our asset data was deleted. Fortunately, we have a separate weekly server data backup every week, which is unusual, so we can recover data this Sunday.”
“Master MO Investment Company lost all of its mana stone futures and options assets this time…. It is currently recovering. sorry.”
“Master, we are…”
The man called ‘Master’ who sat in the highest seat.
He sat hunched over, resting his chin on his hand, listening to the reports one by one.
“Hmm, everyone suffered a huge loss this time. Is it still possible to recover some of it?”
“Yes that’s right. Master. If you give me about a week…”
The man eagerly explained that asset recovery is possible.
He was the man who blew away all his mana stone futures and options assets.
The Master’s brow furrowed.
Just-
he snapped his fingers and
punk-
the man’s head exploded.
