Achilles Technical Strategy Team Leader Graham Campbell.
A high-ranking shock magician who reached level 7, and at the same time, a skilled person who remodeled his body into the company’s technical equipment and went into battle without hesitation.
I don’t know what kind of life he’s led to come this far, but I knew enough that he was a person with the power and ability to match his position.
The decision to boldly put forward one of the greatest strengths brought to this place today to deal with Lennok, a 7th-level linguistic sorcerer, as the vanguard.
Even the attitude of being engrossed in building the system and checking its functions, even at the cost of consuming himself and all the other combatants.
Regardless of whether the method is efficient and correct, it is a self-evident fact that the determination and bold judgment penetrate deep into the human being called Graham.
Lennok closed his eyes and tried to sympathize with Graham as much as possible, but… … .
“…I also don’t agree very much. If it were me, I would have planned a much more cautious or even extremely aggressive strategy.”
[Master, so that process itself isn’t really necessary.]
“It’s a process of converting a person’s entire memory into a database and contacting it. I think it is necessary to try at least to control the reaction after the connection is over.”
The final moments of the battle with Graham Campbell.
After partially unfolding Darby’s brain region with the power of the system, Lennok miniaturized the system itself and slammed it into Graham’s head.
It wouldn’t be strange if his hair was completely cooked due to the excessive amount of information, but to my surprise, Graham had just collapsed with a dazed expression and maintained a normal complexion.
Darby’s transcendent computing power scans the entire cerebral cortex of a human named Graham and adjusts the permissible amount of information to miniaturize the system.
As it is, instead of human consciousness, Achilles’ system was temporarily installed inside his thinking circuit.
It was absurd nonsense not only in the physical realm, but also in terms of magic.
However, it is not impossible in this pre-dream scene where reality and the cyberspace overlap a little bit.
Although it is a partially developed area, it is clearly a gap between reality and virtuality that is demonstrated based on the full premise of the potential of cyber spirits.
Within it, things beyond the common sense of interfering with the data of another dimension crossing the realm of life and the brain are sometimes possible even under certain conditions.
[Search for 232 access points completed. Replacing data packets. Invasion of Achilles headquarters security network begins.]
Exciting!!
The figure of a huge three-tailed fox with its oversized forepaw resting on Graham’s forehead.
With Darby’s words, Graham’s upper body shakes greatly as he stares at the raining sky as he collapses in a daze.
At the same time, thousands of extremely complex programming languages popped up in his eyes and quickly passed over his retina.
[Access authority approved. Biometrics: Graham Campbell. Confirmed with the qualifications of an executive at the head office. Headquarters database open.]
“Kkeok…!!”
Graham’s face twitched, frothing at the mouth.
Lennok watched the expression carefully and raised the shield over his head to block the pouring rain.
“It has to end before the basic life reactions stop completely. Do you understand?”
“Of course,”
Darby said confidently as she slapped Lennok on the head with her three voluminous tails.
[This is the first time connecting an organism to the network as a terminal, but the simulation is over. At my current speed, I can finish all of my work before being discovered by Achilles’ superiors.]
Why does Lennok bother to do this instead of killing Graham Campbell?
It was to make a human named Graham himself into a living terminal to directly access Achilles’ powerful security network.
As much as it claims to be a security company, Achilles’ network firewall is difficult even for Darby to penetrate from the front.
That’s why Lennok was thinking of making a terminal with the biometric information of Graham, one of Achilles’ executives, infiltrating the network and stealing the information.
Although the process has changed a bit due to the existence of the magic defense system, it has safely settled down to the originally intended purpose.
[Final approval complete. Search code: Madrid Onion. We start securing the coordinates of the terminal connected to the network!]
“Hekekeek…!!”
Downloading and extracting all the information inside a secure network would be time-consuming and outrageously difficult to do here right now.
However, throwing a search code into the network and locating the responding device is a task that can be done quickly with Graham’s authority.
Responding to the code of Madrid Onion inside Achilles is the same as extracting a list of people deeply involved in this matter.
Dabi, who perked up her ears, began tracing back the coordinates of the terminal inside the network in an instant and sending them to Lennok’s cell phone.
Beep beep!!!
Lennok, who was checking the terminal information floating on the text message screen of his cell phone without missing a single one, suddenly frowned.
“This….”
[Network Firewall Reversal Check Coordinates Backtrace is coming in…!! Connection terminates. 3 2 1… … !!]
Rumble!!
After Darby counted and removed his forepaw from Graham’s forehead, Graham, foaming at the mouth and convulsing, rolled his eyes and passed out.
After tying up his body with magical thread and subduing him, Lennok took out his cell phone and listened.
“Are you still watching Panoa?”
[…] … Confirmed.]
She also looked a bit bewildered as if she didn’t understand the current situation well.
[It looks like the battle has been over for a while, but can I go to the cleanup now… … .?]
“I have some information to extract personally. It’s all over, don’t worry.”
Lennok chuckled as he tucked his phone into the inside pocket of his coat.
“Maybe we can bring out some of the city officials involved in this, if we do well.”
[I see…. If there is anything I can do to help, please let me know anytime.]
“I intend to entrust the interrogation to the cartel. I want to ask you to take care of that part, is that okay?”
[No problem. If we secure physical evidence that Achilles came forward, we will have enough strength to fight inside the city council as evidence.]
Panoa’s voice suddenly turned cold.
[You have worked really hard today. After all the work is done, I will handle the reward so that you will not be disappointed.]
“…deal with it without haste. With this incident, I would like to secure a list of people who were directly involved in the black consumer project inside the city council. I hope the process doesn’t go too far.”
[Sure.]
Lennok sighed and lifted his head after hanging up.
As soon as he communicates with Panoa, sirens resonate throughout the streets and he feels police cars and fire trucks running.
This time, the dike’s branch collapsed due to a construction mistake, and under the pretext of rescuing the officials, they will naturally be taken to the cartel’s basement.
As long as they secured physical evidence that they were related to Achilles and the city government, there was nothing left for Lennok to do.
It would be enough if he naturally disappeared from this street.
So concluded Lennok, and at once walked through the dark streets.
As the figure of the wizard slowly faded through the alley, the red and blue siren light began to become clear through the dust.
* * *
“Failed?”
“Strictly speaking, it’s not a failure… … . It seems that the other side also made up its mind.”
“….”
“We succeeded in disintegrating the Dyke 1 branch as planned, but no one can be reached among the execution staff. It seems that all of them were incapacitated during the engagement with the dog.”
“Call the boss.”
“What do you plan to do….”
“Choose a person who can appropriately pass the responsibility on and bring it to the scene. I will contact the judge directly.”
With the personal connections of Onion in Madrid, who has served as the head of a judicial body for more than a few decades, it is not difficult to cover up the matter by overturning appropriate charges.
The voice was not Madric himself, but only one of the city councilors who were helping him, but there was an infinite number of things that could be done with just that.
“I couldn’t handle something properly, so I had to go there with difficulty-”
Jerking!!
At that moment, the dark room was lit up and someone walked inside.
A thick-skinned man who appeared below his back screamed at the sudden lighting.
“What kind of bastard!! I must have told you not to turn on the light recklessly… … !!”
“Councilor Giuseppe. Is this the first time I’ve actually seen your face?”
The thick voice is suddenly cut off by the words of a low-key old man.
Giuseppe turned his head with a displeased expression, and what came into his eyes was the figure of an elderly man.
Hanging on the left shoulder is the coat of arms of the Auditor, which is given to only five members of the city council.
Only then did Giuseppe realize who the opponent was, and his expression greatly distorted.
“John Mayer….”
“The rumors about him being locked up in a dark room all day and engrossed in odd jobs are true.”
old man Mayer asked, looking down at Giuseppe’s face and smiling greedily.
“I know you’re still very young, but why don’t you go out and do some exercise? Or maybe there are circumstances where you can’t get out of the room?”
The corners of Mayer’s mouth parted long.
“I hope the rumors that you sucked the blood of a vampire and got your halfway youth are not true.”
“….”
Giuseppe swallowed, put down the phone he was holding, and smiled.
“…It’s not strange that it still looks like it’s in full swing to Senator Mayer, but I’m at an age where I’m going to run out of strength. It means that I have not enough energy to attend the Central Council every day.”
“is it?”
“So, I would like you to refrain from such terrible rumors about being a vampire or sucking blood…. Just listening to it is filthy.”
Giuseppe waved his hand and asked.
“So what happened to my mansion when the House supernova that stopped the National Guard mutiny? Did you come here to brag that you received a gift from the Board of Audit and Inspection?”
While listening to Giuseppe’s words, Mayer looked all over the room where he was seated.
A messy room with all kinds of greasy snacks and strong liquor. However, there are no windows for ventilation anywhere in the vast room.
In addition, faint eyes wavering between Giuseppe’s drunken face. Mayer, who read the reddish aura in it, grinned.
“no. It’s just that I’m here to work. I personally obtained information that could harm the safety of the city.”
“…what?”
“Do you know anything about the recent terror attacks against the Dyke Corporation?”
* * *
Lennok was on the phone, listening to the voices over it.
[It’s much easier than I thought. He’s a clumsy guy who doesn’t even know how far he has to lie.]
“Is that so?”
[If you shake it a little more, it will fall on its own and spit out good information.]
Mayer chuckled and said with satisfaction.
[I didn’t know that as soon as I put on the nameplate of the Board of Audit and Inspection, I would be able to capture the same member. This must also be thanks to you.]
“Although it is said to be related to the Black Consumer Project, I did not expect you to be willing to take part in this work.”
Lennok, who was watching the street scene through the window, answered.
“Considering who’s behind it, it’s likely not going to benefit the congressman.”
These are not empty words.
There is no doubt that Mayer, who officially took over as a member of the council, is unaware of the extent to which Onion of Madrid occupies a high position in the city government.
Despite stepping down from the incumbent office, despite the fact that it was virtually defeating Madrid, which could exert a strong influence on the city council through various personal connections, Mayer willingly received a call from Lennok and directly raided the city councilor.
As a result, the situation was captured that Rep. Giuseppe was in close contact with Achilles.
Temporarily terminated all powers of the House of Representatives, Giuseppe Colini, under the authority of the Auditor, and placed under house arrest.
Even Lennok was slightly awestruck by Mayer’s determination to do all this in just 48 hours.
However, after hearing Lennok’s words, Mayer burst into a rather hearty laugh.
– Ha ha ha! That’s just what you think because you don’t know much about the physiology of this floor.
“what do you mean?”
– Right now, it’s not that important for me to pretend to be with a former Chief Justice.
Mayer, who laughed in a meaningful voice, continued.
-The important thing is that by taking care of this job, attention is focused on me from inside the city council as well as outside public opinion.
“….”
-It doesn’t matter how the title of the article goes. The rebellion of an old new member, the behavior of a spoiled auditor, the chaos of the city council that does not respect the former officers… … As long as my name intervening in it is firmly imprinted in the minds of Balkan citizens.
“Is that so.”
– Councilor who runs directly on his feet regardless of the success or failure of the work. It is enough to have this image imprinted on it. The city has been slowly decaying for too long, and now it has reached a point where it is losing its viability.
Mayer said that with a confident laugh.
-You know that no matter what happens in the future, it will be difficult to easily dismiss a lawmaker who takes this stance. There’s no way the old Chief Justice doesn’t know that there are no enemies or allies in Parliament.
Are you sure that even if you pretend to be with Madrid right away, you can reverse your attitude according to each other’s interests?
Lennok nodded, understanding what Mayer meant.
“You want to be in a weight class that is hard to knock out.”
-I thought you would understand right away. The more the perception that I am a person who makes a big deal out of anything, the more difficult it will be for lawmakers like me to push me out.
The greedy old man’s laughter rang through the phone.
-Even the senators who watch everything from the top of this city.
“….”
I’ve heard it by rumor.
A central council that holds all the administrative powers of a megalopolis.
Among the senators who have risen to the pinnacle, only a very few powerful people can sit in the Senate.
The fact that Mayer directly mentioned the false rumor that all the acts of electing and serving as the mayor of the city are done at the hands of the senate is no different from
saying that it is not really a false rumor.
-At that time, wouldn’t it be possible to hear what happened during the project directly from their mouths? Apart from helping you, I have my own way. And I believe that this path is not wrong.
“I understand.”
Where does that sharp judgment and endless greed come from even at the age of old age?
Although I still don’t think Mayer is a good person or someone who can always be helpful to him.
It was clear that each time he had a conversation like this with Mayer, he looked back at himself in a different way.
– I’m sorry, but it’s hard to talk on the phone for a long time. While I’m in touch with you right now, my other phone is on fire.
“All right. I will contact you again soon.”
-Because you wielded the authority of the Audit Office so hotly, the Senate will also have a headache. It will take some time to sort this out, and the city council’s internal information network will be somewhat paralyzed.
Mayer laughed.
-You know what I mean?
It will take some time before the current situation is properly communicated to Madrid.
Before that, it would be enough if we could find out where he was hiding from this side and turn the table upside down.
Mayer had been telling Lennok about it.
Lennok hung up the phone and let out a satisfied sigh as he rummaged through the tobacco in his arms.
‘Should I be lucky… … .’
That there was a member of the city council among the terminals that tracked Graham Campbell using access rights.
And it is hard to believe that it was a mere coincidence that John Mayer, who heard the story, willingly reached out to help.
I never thought that the relationship that started with a nomination request from a pharmaceutical company would lead to this point and that it would be helpful in this way.
Especially at a time when insider information on the city council was relatively scarce, Mayer’s presence helped Lennock in many ways.
Even though he was acutely aware of this fact, Lennok’s expression was not very good.
‘I’m never a stupid person. Someday, he’ll try to get paid for the favor.’
Since the purpose of digging into the project is always the same, we are cooperating and wishing for success, but we know that the means can change at any time.
I had to always be aware of the fact that even if it would be a great help right now, someday it might turn into a lesser-than-enemy relationship.
Thinking so, the moment Lennok blew the tobacco into his mouth and tried to flick the embers with his fingers,
he said, “Uh…Smoking is prohibited inside the building.”
I heard a very polite voice right next to me.
“….”
Lennok, too, naturally shook his cheek as he put the tobacco in.
“I’m sorry. I have something to think about, so stop… … .”
“No, Mr. Van. There is a smoking area on the roof, but if you don’t mind, we’ll guide you.”
The employee who turned around with a smile continued.
“Because the options I’ve still added to the bike will need time to perfect.”
What can be seen behind his back is a mysterious figure in which all kinds of iron plates and machine parts are complexly floating in the air and assembled on their own.
A monster bike that was custom-made for Autoble through Sebastian’s connections.
Lenok had arrived at the site to buy a new bike that had once been destroyed in the labyrinth of Hanghasa.
“I know that Sebastian-nim and the boss are also over there.”
“…good. Go upstairs.”
When I took the elevator up to the roof, I saw two people sitting opposite each other in the smoking area inside a huge glass booth.
The figure of a mature man and Sebastian with a slightly relaxed impression.
Recognizing that Lennok had come, Sebastian immediately waved his hand and the elderly man jumped up from his seat.
“Half here. Are you a little later than expected?”
“I was watching the options on the bike being tweaked. I was going to receive it when it was finished, but it took some time.”
“The options you ordered must be the most difficult ones. The boss here also says that there are many techniques that are introduced for the first time, so it will take longer to combine them.”
Saying that, Sebastian pointed to a mature man who was waiting for Lennok.
“This is Victor Essien, president and founder of Auterble. I’ve known you for quite some time. say hello.”
“I really wanted to meet you at least once.”
Grabbing Lennok’s hand, Victor lowered his head and looked up at Lennok with sparkling eyes.
“Even if I posted a thank you to my classmate once a day, it was not enough, and it was difficult to remember the face properly because there were no photos. It is a great honor to finally be able to meet you.”
“…When did I ever get a commission from Otterble?”
An enthusiastic welcome that even Lennok himself was slightly embarrassed. The answer came from Sebastian.
“Van said that inquiries about similar products have increased significantly since you rode Otterble’s custom-built bikes.”
“….”
“Sales from the bike production line more than doubled. In other words, we are seeing a lot of the virtue of Van-nim’s love of bikes.”
“haha….”
Only then did Lennok smile bitterly when he realized why the president of Otterble was giving such an enthusiastic welcome.
Every time he was active as Ban’s face, he took out his bike and rode it whenever he had a chance, so it’s only natural that his eyes are focused on the bike’s existence as much as he is.
Naturally, the sales of Autoble, which is known to have produced the bike, were also rising.
“Did you unintentionally attract attention and publicize it? This is not what I paid for, but I was in a position to receive advertising costs.”
Victor shook his head with a slight embarrassment.
“Of course, I do not intend to end with empty words. In that sense, I would like to make a new proposal to you about the new bike I am making. How about it?”
“hmm?”
“You told me to focus on the fighting power and maneuverability of the bike itself.”
Victor said with a strange expression that couldn’t hide his smile.
“I think I can make some pretty interesting stuff.”
