New Humanity (3)
Secret room.
In his own private space, without telling his associates, Fermi opened the box mined by the parrot mercenaries.
It contained notepads whose dirt had not been removed and pieces of metal whose purpose was unknown.
It was a future from the past.
‘The memory chip will take time to recover.’
Not only had it been buried for a long time, but the hardware itself was seriously damaged.
Fermi put his chips down.
‘Be careful, be careful.’
Although complete recovery is difficult, if we can know even one word, its value is beyond imagination.
Fermi picked up the note with tweezers and gently illuminated it with the lamp on his desk.
Someone’s diary.
“Let me see.”
Or, it may be the last record scrawled in despair before death.
“New humans?”
With those words in his head, Fermi unfolded the twice-folded paper with tweezers.
It was an official document, half of it torn as if it had been destroyed, and it had the letters of the East written on it.
“Anyway, politicians…
have a strong sense of duty that they will not hand over information to other countries even if the world is destroyed.
He deciphered the letters with flexible thinking.
‘Second beast. Number 666 of the Beast. 3-stage filter to reach the end. Possibility of Argoneth’s runaway.’
Fermi put down the document and rested his chin.
‘After all, the end is inevitable. Humanity’s thinking has reached a singularity and cannot ignore the outside world.’
The singularity is classified into a three-stage filter.
‘Step 1 is awareness of the outside world. The second stage is contact with evidence from the outside world. And the third step is… leaving the photon system.’
According to Fermi’s analysis, the current human race was just passing through the second stage of filtering.
‘The beginning is the new human race.’
Detailed information would require more digging, but it was clear that it had something to do with the outside world.
‘Once you reach stage 3, the world will end somehow. But somehow…
In his opinion, the apocalypse was as difficult as unifying humanity into Ultima.
‘It’s very difficult for any incident to go to the extreme. Besides…
hasn’t Guffin already left the photon system?
“hmm.”
Fermi tapped the tweezers.
“Just because you left the photon world doesn’t mean you necessarily think you’ve entered the outside world.”
I wanted to fill in the gaps in my thoughts.
“Or… the concept of the outside world is completely different from Guffin’s or ours.”
You couldn’t be wary of what you didn’t know.
‘A perfect ending? A compulsion that goes beyond causality? Is this world a system that allows such things?’
In fact, wasn’t Shirone there to protect you even when you tried to close the world?
‘That’s the rule. It’s a world where there is bound to be a corresponding extreme to every extreme.’ Therefore, the end is something that transcends the world.
‘I can’t imagine. ‘Because it would be a type that leaves the brain’s function and cannot be processed by our brain.’
What will it be like?
“The end of the number.”
Whatever the unimaginable shape, it would ultimately end up as a number.
With a thud, the tweezers were fixed to the desk, and Fermi’s eyes fell on one of the notes.
‘The second beast.’
A being born first to welcome the first beast and destroy the world.
‘Where is it?’
Sirone should be there.
Fermi, holding the official document with tweezers, looked closely at the seal on the torn area.
“Bukjeon.”
After safely passing through the gates of Bukjeon, we entered a brewery called Bor Bor and Tanju.
Baekmyeosaeng, with swords on both waists, bowed his head.
“You’re here.”
It was the great satellite lake of Tanjura.
“What about Mika?” As the tent in the inner room was lifted, an old man with a stooped back came out carrying a jar.
He said after checking the stars.
“Many of the residents have been replaced by new humans. The owner of this brewery is also a new person.”
Borbor’s satellite Mika is an electromagnetic living organism that can live in other people’s bodies.
Since he had no feelings to begin with, Borbor was indifferent when dealing with Mika.
“What is the mechanism?”
“It uses a method of mutating surrounding organisms through mental radiation. It is similar to the technique used by Oh Dae-seong. A clouded mind turns the creatures around it into monsters.”
“It’s quite dangerous. “It was complacent to think that all we had to do was close down the areas where the demon world was open.”
“Mutations are unpredictable. Plus, this guy can control minds. This means he can mutate as he pleases.”
Tanjura’s face distorted.
“The ability to cause biological mutation. It’s serious. “If we don’t get rid of them in the Northern War, the continent will fall.”
Borbor had the same thought.
“Where is the leader of the new human race now?” Daeho said.
“With Mr. Mika’s abilities, we explored the city’s base, but no one knows its location. There is a high probability that he will be by the side of Hwang Gak, Governor of Bukjeon. Or the yellow perch itself.”
“I guess so. “Then, let’s meet the governor and find out for sure.”
Mika asked.
“What should I do with my body?”
“Kill me.”
As soon as the instructions were given, Mika lifted the sword and stabbed himself in the heart.
After a while, the electric body that came out of the corpse seeped into Borbor along with the electric charge.
-Took control of brain waves. What should I think?
“No, process the signal coming from outside. “If you detect any unusual mutations, report them.”
-All right.
The two stars and two satellites left the brewery and headed straight to the inner gate.
Mika, who had been silent until now, sent a powerful signal to Borbor’s brain.
-Not human.
Although it looked the same as a human, the soldier’s eyes did not contain any emotion.
“What’s going on?” Tanjura said while looking at the aimed spear.
“I came to see Governor Hwang Gak. “If you let Goi in, we are willing to talk.”
As soon as the words ended, a powerful energy began to be felt in the soldiers’ bodies.
-Please step back. Analysis is not possible.
It was an intimidating feeling that was qualitatively different from the creatures that Mika had lived as parasites so far.
Borbor’s gaze turned upward.
‘If the intensity of mutation increases at close range… the head of the new human race is in the castle.’
I don’t know how powerful mental radiation is, but the stars of the Ivory Tower are probably no exception.
“Giggles! Things that aren’t even human have great power. What should we do now?”
Borbor made a decision.
“Forced breakthrough.”
At the same time, the soldiers’ skin was torn, revealing what looked like a mixture of humans and grasshoppers.
“Keeeeee!”
Tanjura swallowed his saliva with excited eyes at the sound of a scream coming from his gaping jaw.
“Interesting.”
“stomach!”
The moment Daeho shouted, a swarm of locusts filled the sky flew from the castle walls.
A crunching sound was heard.
≪Uuha 丁?
The person who tore off the arm in front of the corpse of Governor Hwang Gak was a 17-year-old girl.
It had a simple look, as if it didn’t know the dark, but its eyes were not human.
“it’s good.”
When I ripped open the arm muscles, the bones were exposed.
“Piri.”
It is not the name given to you by your parents.
She evolved into a new human and gave herself a name that meant she had deviated from reason.
“Aren’t there any more bar valves? The meat of a strong human. “I want to keep eating.”
At the end of Piri’s gaze was standing a giant grasshopper, over 2 meters tall.
The wings hidden within the carapace flapped, and the scorpion’s tail rose higher than the top of its head.
“This is not the time to enjoy eating. “Some very powerful people have come outside the city gate.”
Piri’s face was filled with joy.
“really? Can I eat more delicious meat? “Why don’t you hurry up and catch him?”
“…haven’t you been here too long? “We must destroy this city and leave.”
“haha! are you okay. we are strong You know that? “No one can beat us in this world.”
That was true.
Although they had not fought against the entire human race, they had an accurate understanding of themselves.
Such ability, such intelligence.
‘Have we become gods…?’
Piri held out her hand.
“more. meat.”
The grasshopper’s eyes watched it intently, then it spread its wings and turned to the window.
“I’ll take over in a moment.”
The locust people who filled the front door of the inner palace surrounded Tanjura and trembled.
“Kiik! Kiik!”
The reason he can’t move is because he was sentenced to prison by Tanjura.
“600 years in prison for inciting chaos in the world! 987 years in prison for causing serious damage to the spirit of innocent residents!” As soon as the judgment was handed down, legal binding force bound the locust people.
“So, putting all the charges together… Tanjura tore the corners of his mouth.
“execution.”
At the same time, Daeho flew in like the wind and swung the twin swords in both hands left and right.
‘Jakdu.’
The faces of the grasshoppers were cut into chunks, as if they were cutting through the landscape with scissors.
“Giggles! “I punished myself today again.” There is theoretically no limit to the cutting power of the blade using the law of the lever. Tanjura touched his beard happily.
‘It’s the same as being able to move a planet with just an infinitely long pole and a fixed bar.’
In addition, it was possible to inflict physical damage even while in ‘imprisonment’ mode.
Borbor approached.
“Don’t let down your guard. “This is not the extent to which the northern gateway to the Blue Dragon Mountains will be destroyed.”
Daeho raised his sword.
“These are likely to be variants of the Northern War. “Is it qualitatively different from the mutant from the Blue Dragon Mountains?”
Before I could answer, the gate opened and
I saw a non-human being walking gracefully like a human.
-You have to run away.
Mika sent a warning, but Borbor could not take a single step from that spot.
‘The moment you move, you die.’
A strange, unbelievable feeling surrounded the grasshopper man.
‘strong? So you can’t win? No, this is not that kind of temperament.’
I don’t know.
The reason why I think it can never exist even though I haven’t explored the entire universe is…
‘What’s the problem? Aura of form? The bizarreness of Jinhwa? No, it’s all imaginable.’
The only thing I can’t imagine is.
‘number.’
A remarkable parameter that arises when the information that makes up it is expressed mathematically.
‘It has numbers that are different from ours.’ Something that exists nowhere else in the universe.
Her thoughts were relayed to Mika and her judgment fell as quickly as electricity.
“Run away!”
Tanjura and Daeho left their positions and Borbor rushed forward.
‘I don’t mind dying… but
I had to avoid a situation where everyone in this place was wiped out and couldn’t report to the ivory tower.
-I will do it.
As he handed over control of his brain to Mika, Borbor’s body bent like rubber.
At that time, the arms and legs flew out like whips and were about to wrap around the body of the grasshopper man.
-Unrecognizable.
The enemy’s figure evaporated, and a powerful shock was felt on the back of Borbor.
“Oops!”
Mika delivered.
-89% of brain function was paralyzed. You will be in a coma for a while.
‘no. Take as much time as possible.’
– I refuse.
The grasshopper man with the unconscious Borbor in his belt looked towards the gate.
“Shall I chase you?”
He was conflicted for a moment, but the image of the flute waiting for him with all his might came to mind.
“It’s better to eat it while it’s still alive.”
The inner door was closed.
Tanjura’s eyes burned red.
“Aaaah! “Goyan bastards!”
Although he is running away frantically, his heart is torn apart by the grasshopper man a thousand times.
“Please fix it. Reporting takes priority.”
As Daeho’s ability, Jakdu, split open the outer castle gate, a wide open field came into view.
“yes’?”
Tanjura’s eyebrows twitched and both of them quickly stopped walking.
“Oh Dae-seong?”
Sirone was walking with two apostles.
