Genius Magician Who Eats Medicine Episode 766
One-person play (18)
Baritz company’s internal security database.
A very old video encountered inside the network that Prescott’s terminal was stolen and infiltrated.
Did you say it was a video of the Pope’s first and last visit to the Balkans?
Although he had never heard of the papacy itself, Lennok could easily guess what it meant.
It probably refers to the most elite group within the church that assists the leader.
Perhaps it is a matter of naming and calling a concept to represent the will of the religious leader.
But Lennok knew that even a moment’s thought about the Church’s organization chart would not last long.
Beyond the terminal screen shimmering as if it were going to explode at any moment.
At the end of the unpleasant noise that burst through the other side of the screen and filled the entire studio.
It was because the head of the church, who had turned his gaze toward us, was looking at Lennok.
“….”
As if paint had spread, the invisible face had been erased beyond the veil.
A figure like a corpse slumped over a pure white throne, and pale skin crumbling with cracks.
Just like the miserable face that is uncertain whether it is even breathing, the image of the flames heard over the screen is blurry and unstable.
But even so, Lennok was thoroughly focused on the essence of the leader rather than the dying figure of the leader.
‘It’s changed, but it hasn’t changed… … .’
screen of the terminal. old video. A sense of alienation covered with noise.
The overwhelming presence of a transcendental being who has transcended the Sangri that penetrates all barriers.
It does not change even if the appearance changes, even if the time and place we encounter change.
All traces of the cult leader left in the memories and records of the past are the same as the cult leader himself.
Can it be said that the way of being that entrusts oneself to the beliefs and worship of others is something that humans are permitted to do?
The choice that even the transcendentalists who challenge the ascension cannot even dare to make makes the religious leader look more dangerous and aloof.
It’s like taking the risk of extinction every moment you exist in this world.
That choice that seemed to walk on the tip of a knife every moment.
If it looks similar to Lennok’s chosen way of life, is it a coincidence?
The moment Lennok was hesitant as the meeting he had reached after killing Amrita in the Far East Branch of the Church now leads to an unexpected form.
[It was a long time ago….]
The priest looked down at himself and opened his mouth.
[Memories of the days when there was still a reason to remain in the world…It’s the shame of me repeating mistakes.]
“….”
The headmaster said as if teasing Lennok.
[It’s not something I really want to show. Especially for you.]
At the time the video was just made, was it the time when the religious leader was conscious of this world?
From the beginning, the head of the religion probably did not rely on the memories and records of others for its existence.
The moment Lennok realized this and quickly looked back at his memories, the Transcendentalist smiled lightly from behind the veil.
[This is ironic indeed. What you want doesn’t come on time, and waiting doesn’t arrive until you’ve done your thing… … Even so, I still can’t let go.]
“…you.”
[But even this kind of meeting has meaning. What was impossible a long time ago is now possible.]
His words contain so many meanings that it is difficult to immediately understand them even after hearing them once.
Whether the overlapping and mixing of unclear meanings was intended by the religious leader himself, or on the contrary, is a side effect of the result of his own choice.
Either way, Lennok won’t be able to figure out the answer right away.
That’s why Lennok decided to say what he thought first.
“If you didn’t turn down this face-to-face despite knowing what happened outside, there must be a reason. Know.”
The fact that the video of the leader was left as data to Baritsa.
And the fact that Lennok, who was writing a thesis, came across it while looking for it is no coincidence.
If there is a reason for this embarrassing meeting that seems to have no contact at all.
Lennok was certain that it was because of one ‘motive’ that existed both in himself and in the cult.
“A magic flow reproduction module manufactured by Baritz.”
Only Lennok’s voice echoed quietly through the silent studio.
“It’s no coincidence that you designed and ordered it.”
[…] … .]
The teacher did not answer.
With a faint sign that could disappear at any moment, he just waited for Lennok’s words on the spot.
It feels like you already know what Lennok is going to ask, but you don’t want to hear it yourself.
But even knowing that, Lennok knew there were questions he had to ask.
“If the wishes of you and I overlap at least once in this world….”
Lennok was worried.
“Was it because you tried at least once to do what I was thinking?”
The fundamental reason Lennok sought the magic flow reproduction module was that he needed the module to complete his third thesis.
But what would have been the motive if the religious leader had ordered it and tried to make it a long time ago.
This bizarre coincidence that what Lennok and the religious leader wanted overlapped.
Lennok was asking if it was not the result of the thesis he wanted at one time when the leader had tried earlier.
“The justification was the life support system, but that wasn’t the real purpose. I wouldn’t have been obsessed with the rest of my life like that.”
The way the cult leader chose to exist in this world is a heterogeneous thing that transcends the body and mind.
Considering him, it’s unlikely that he ordered the module to build a life support system.
I wonder if there was something I had to deal with urgently like Lennok, and I might have borrowed the help of Baritz to try him out.
If the data that had been forgotten for a long time had now been excavated and revealed by Lennok’s hand.
“Did you use it to get the results you wanted?”
Maybe we can check the success or failure of the third thesis right here and now.
So Lennok thought it was worth taking the risk and checking with the leader here.
[…] … .]
Kyoju looked at such Lennok blankly, then slowly turned his gaze toward the other side of the video.
Only the noise shimmering on the other side of the veil lets us guess the direction of that line of sight.
No further information was still given to Lennok,
but Lennok could sense that the leader had mixed feelings about the question.
The pure white throne on which the leader himself sits. A procession of thousands to assist him under the veil.
[well…. I don’t remember if it had any meaning.]
The religious leader looked at the believers for a long time without saying a word.
[I have already passed through too many failures to look back and remember all those moments.]
“….”
The end of his words was blurry, but what the leader was implying was by no means a feeling close to success.
Wouldn’t it mean that the leader himself had already tried it first and got a result that was close to failure?
[But what I tried and what you are going to do now…Comparing their success and failure is a meaningless act.]
The priest spoke softly as if he had read Lennok’s thoughts.
[Because the time passed by each other is not the same. Even if you ask the same question, you will always get different answers. That difference is what we should be most compassionate about.]
Even if you plan and try the same thing, the result can be different.
A strange answer that it might be different for Lennok, unlike the failure of the cult leader himself.
[Because I try to be the same even though I’m not the same, and I try to empathize even though I don’t want to. You have to balance uncontrollable contradictions.]
While Lennok was thinking about it, the leader’s voice became infinitely colder.
[For him, wouldn’t it be a bad thing to mislead the truth… … .]
“…what?”
[It’s a pitiful thing to say, but I didn’t trust myself that much.]
Through the veil, the cool gaze returned to Lennok.
[They applied a rather harsh standard to others.]
“That…Is that why you answer the question?”
The teacher laughed.
[is it so. It’s been too long for each other’s answers not to overlap, even if we try to deceive them with fake lies.]
“….”
While Lennok is silent, the scenery in the video begins to slowly crumble.
An old video from inside the Baritsa security network.
As soon as the playback time of the video ends, this space disappears as it is.
Probably, there will never be a video that exists inside the network being opened again like this.
The instant Lennok sensed it and suddenly raised his gaze.
[I know what you’re trying to do, but I won’t stop you. If it’s you, you’ll be able to get your hands on something different from mine.]
Saying that, the headmaster slowly wiggled his finger.
The moment his cracked, crumbling fingertips gently stroked the handle of the throne.
On the other side of the video, thousands of followers assisting the religious leader all turned their heads and looked at Lennok.
[If what you are pursuing is not far, sooner or later you will be able to meet one of my failures.]
At the top of the procession of countless followers who worship him, the cult leader laughed helplessly.
[Even if it’s not an unexpected meeting… … Huhu please take good care of me.]
Go oh oh…!!
The eerie scenery, the same as when I first met the religious leader in my memory.
The sense of difference, as if forcibly filling the eyes between Lennok and the leader.
Right after Lennok felt the discomfort and opened his mouth to say something.
paper weave… … !!
Pew!!
The terminal that was transmitting the video exploded on the spot and was completely turned off.
[Hee hee… … W This is the limit. master….]
Darby muttered helplessly, limp with her head resting on Lennok’s shoulder.
Data overload soared rapidly the moment the cult leader began to voluntarily move beyond the record.
Darby had somehow suppressed it with the power of the Nightmare Mirror, giving him enough time to talk to Lennok.
[Even in the magnetic field, the output overload can no longer be suppressed….]
“…no. Enough of this. great job.”
If it wasn’t for the power of the Cyber Spirit in the first place, it would have been impossible to break into the network in this way and even obtain cooperation from Baritz.
Lennok knew that Darby would never cheat or make excuses in this area.
Patting Darby’s head, who had turned into a giant fox, Lennok slowly let go of the broken terminal and stood up.
The scene of a quiet studio with fainted Baritsa officials and ruined facilities scattered everywhere.
Only the snow-like polyhedral particles of blue light and the landscape of the whole brain area that leads through them reveal traces of the realm.
Whoa… … !
Lennok, who had canceled the magnetic field by slowly withdrawing his mana, took out his cell phone.
Inside the messenger piled up with unopened messages, another new message had arrived.
[If you watched the video, I think you would have understood what the Pope’s behavior was like at the time.]
“….”
The nuance as if the relationship between the Baritz company and the church was clarified, of course, through the video.
However, Lennok was unable to properly check the content of the video as he was actually talking to the leader in the record.
In the first place, the recording itself did not work properly due to the existence of the religious leader who exists with self-consciousness on the other side of the video.
However, the message that followed was certain to contain something that would interest Lennok.
[We have prototypes based on modules ordered by the Holy See. If you want to check the item, please visit us anytime.]
“It’s a prototype….”
[The vice president will be waiting for you.]
– Head of the 2nd team of Strategic Planning Office at Baritz. Dante Claxton
It’s probably the person at Baritz who the interest just spoke to Lennok directly from the company’s secure network.
The person who recognized the existence of the video when the Pope visited Balkan and thought to show it to Lennok directly at this spot.
Did he know how dangerous this video was and what kind of valuable asset it was?
Lennok thought it was unlikely.
‘If I had known that it was a record that could communicate with the religious leader, I wouldn’t have consumed it like this.’
Lennok, who lifted the traces of the terminal, was lost in thought.
‘It wouldn’t have been the way I reacted every time I played the video. If the leader reveals his existence only at the moment he wants… … .’
In the end, it would be correct to say that the religious leader did not reject the meeting because Lennok personally checked the video.
If you thought that Lennok might be different from the failure of the cult leader himself.
Again, there is no need to hesitate to complete the third thesis right now.
“…good.”
After muttering that, Lennok stretched out his magician and tied up Prescott and began to drag him along.
Take out the car key from the arms of the stunned member, find the car parked outside the studio, and board it immediately.
Throwing the limp Prescott into the back seat, Lennok sat in the driver’s seat and put his car keys in.
Said Darby, sitting in the passenger seat, sticking one of the five tails into the instrument panel.
[An organism called Claxton sent me the coordinates separately. Shall we take the direction like this?”
“That’s right. Let’s go see the person in charge of Baritz right away.”
After starting the engine and checking the direction, Lennok nodded to Darby.
Perhaps it could drastically speed up the prototyping process needed.
“I’ll have to check what the cult leader made using the module.”
