the Tomb of Information (4)
counter, a woman with her hair down to her shoulders greeted them.
“hello. This is the Hi Gear user registration page. Is this your both first time?”
It looked like a human, but its face had joints and small bolts were embedded symmetrically.
I thought that perhaps it was my preference to give off a clunky, yet mechanical smell.
“This guy is new here and I have a user code. “Can I register now?”
“yes. “Please tell me the code name.”
“Son of Yolga. “It’s Dongguk.” As Sirone turned his head in surprise, Fermi shrugged his shoulders.
The woman’s eyes sparkled.
“Oh my, you are a ranker. The son of Yolga, ranked 7th in Dongguk. “It is an honor to meet this great man.”
Fermi smiled with his eyes suspiciously.
‘The acting is top-notch. Well, since I have a machine face, I don’t think I need to put any effort into it.’
Tutorial manager Magneti.
There was no way she, who managed High Gear’s real-time access, did not know Fermi’s identity.
Magneti said as he manipulated the screen.
“The special privilege will be activated for Yolga’s son who registered a new user according to High Gear’s regulations. 100 million Galaxy will be paid as a ‘New Face’ reward.”
Sirone narrowed his eyes and looked back at Fermi.
“hey.”
“You have to get what you can get. don’t worry. “I will use 100 million galaxies for you.”
“That’s it.”
Sirone didn’t want to get involved anymore.
“I’m not here to go into high gear. “I told you I could contact the operator here.”
“He’s short-tempered.”
Fermi asked Magneti.
“Can I speak to the original designer of High Gear? “It’s urgent.”
“It is against the regulations to point out a specific operator. If you have any suggestions, please let me know.”
“As expected…
Fermi seemed to be about to back down, Shiro? You approached Magneti.
“It’ll just take a moment. “Once the operators hear my story, they will change their minds.”
“I’m sorry, but I can’t approve it. High Gear’s operators adhere to their own regulations.”
“Operator? Then you are not an artificial intelligence. Are you a human from the planet I’m on?”
“…This is a question beyond my authority.”
Her voice was monotonous, but Sirone did not miss that her reaction was a little late.
“You know what kind of situation humanity is in right now. “The fate of the world is at stake.”
“huh? The world…
As Magneti was savoring those words, his mechanical face began to distort strangely.
≪Fu…”
And in the end, I couldn’t bear it.
“Fuhahaha! It’s the fate of the world. It’s so crazy! “It’s more serious than I thought, right?”
“What’s funny about that?”
As a look of murder appeared on Sirone’s expression, Fermi licked his lips.
‘As expected… ‘sincerity’ was nothing but a subject of ridicule in the undercoder where fakes and anonymity were rampant.
“You ask what’s funny?”
Fermi said as Sirone’s eyes widened.
“calm down. This is a virtual world. “No one cares whether the world falls apart or not.”
“How can that be? Do you know how many people died fighting? Is this reality funny? you’re welcome. “You are just running away from that reality.”
Fermi was at a loss as to how to make them understand.
“ha. So, here… At that time, Magneti’s smile disappeared.
“Things are your own, but verbal abuse against the operator may result in a penalty. “You may not be able to access High Gear for a certain period of time or you may be permanently banned.”
“Try it.”
The light of the Miracle Stream burned in Sirone’s body.
“Would you be able to laugh if I attacked this place? “Will you be able to realize what reality is then?”
“You can just connect again.”
Sirone’s eyebrows twitched.
“You, on the other hand, will be permanently exiled and will never see me again. That’s the worst thing that can happen in this space. So do whatever you want.” “Mr. Sirone.”
Sirone never revealed his name.
“It’s funny to say this, but I’m so angry that I’ll just sing along to the beat this time. This is not reality. You don’t know what kind of person I am on the outside. “He could be a fighter fighting for the world, or he could be the villain you hate so much.”
Fermi agreed.
“O”
“Also, I don’t know who you are. Of course, I am a famous person whose name I have heard of. They brag about saving the world here and now, but how would you know? “When I wake up from this dream, I wonder if I will be able to use my powers and enjoy myself to the fullest.”
“I am??????!”
“Whether it actually is or not is not important. What really matters is that no one cares. Undercoder is that kind of place. So please, let reality be real and have your manners here. “Your seriousness is making users here uncomfortable.”
Fermi kept shaking his head.
‘Yes, that’s what I said.’
“I don’t know.”
Sirone clenched his fists.
“Whether it’s real or undercoder, it’s the same person. Even though it may not be a real body, I am talking to a person right now. Why are you ignoring me? “Your world is being destroyed!”
“…It’s very true.”
Sirone was frustrated.
“How can I prove it? “If I kneel down here, will you believe my sincerity?”
Magneti snorted.
“knee? There are countless people who turn into dogs and turn into corpses because they want to feel like they are being treated unfairly. A real-life serial killer takes care of the sick here. Still don’t understand? “It’s all fake.”
“good.”
The Miracle Stream soared to the ceiling.
“Then I will destroy that fake. So go back. Go back, open the window and look outside.”
Magneti’s hand moved to the screen.
“…Any attack on the operator will result in permanent banishment. “I clearly warned you.” In the midst of imminent tension, Sirone threw himself at Magneti.
“Wait a minute…
That’s when Fermi holds out his hand.
“please.”
Sirone stopped in front of the counter and placed his hand on the floor.
“I want to save the world. Too many people are suffering. There’s no way to convey the truth, but maybe that’s why you’re deceiving me…
even if that’s the case.
“Can’t I just fool you? “Maybe this can save someone’s life.” Magneti glared at Sirone.
The machine’s face, which was full of emotion, became cold again.
“ha.”
Finally she opened her mouth.
“What do you want me to tell you?”
Sirone raised his head with a surprised expression.
“There is one thing you should know. Although we are the same operator, I am not in a position to give orders to the operator. “If it’s a strange message, they won’t even respond.”
Sirone jumped up.
“huh! are you okay. If Sirone tells you that Yahweh wants to meet you…
“Fermi.”
Fermi interrupted.
“Please tell me that Ardino Fermi has asked me a very big business. “I’m sure you’ll be satisfied.”
Then he looked back at Sirone and shrugged his shoulders.
“It is better for me to do it as I have done business under my real name. Because the name Yahweh is not used here.”
“great. I sent.”
Magneti finished transmitting, but there was no response even after waiting for 5 minutes.
She said as if she knew that would happen.
“As expected, the response is…
beep-beep-.
At that moment, an alarm message appeared on the screen mounted inside the counter.
‘You really came.’
Honestly, she didn’t expect it either.
“There was a response. “I’ll play it now.”
While Sirone and Fermi were silent, heavily suppressed and modulated voices came out.
?go away.
end? Is this the end?
While Sirone was making a bewildered expression, Magneti rested his chin on the counter and said.
“This is also unusual. “Undercoder is a feast of numerous concepts, but the operator’s personality is truly eccentric.”
Fermi agreed.
“If my name doesn’t work, there’s no way. “Let’s go into high gear and find a way.”
“But you still responded.”
Sirone did not give up.
“If you really weren’t interested, you wouldn’t have told me to fuck off. “Try again.”
“No, that’s it… Sirone stabbed him in the side and Fermi was pushed to the counter with his hands up in the air.
“okay. “I knew.”
Fermi looked back at Magneti.
“Can I send you another message?”
Because she thought that Sirone’s words made sense, she also nodded obediently.
“great. “What should I send?”
“Hmm.”
Fermi’s eyes changed.
“I’m thinking of putting up a conditional auction for a recording device that is believed to contain data from the outside world… Sirone’s head quickly turned.
“There are three conditions. One who has the ability to decipher the first record. Second, share the data you have viewed with me. The third auction is won on a first-come, first-served basis.”
Magneti gulped as he tapped the screen.
“It’s just that we don’t know each other, and if there’s any interest, I don’t think it would be okay to do a personal deal. more.”
Sirone’s eyes narrowed as he looked at Fermi.
‘I knew there was a way.’
Anyway, you have to peck to be heard.
“I sent.”
The moment he finished speaking, a loud bell
sounded and Magneti blinked.
“Codename Operator requests voice conversation with operator privileges. “Would you like to accept it?”
There was nothing to ask.
When Fermi nodded, an angry voice that could not be hidden even by modulation was heard.
-Hey, what are you? Are you using the operator channel privately? I thought he was a smart guy.
“Anyway, it’s an attractive offer, isn’t it?”
-Don’t be mistaken. I connected because I was so annoyed. Do you think I’ll lose in the first-come-first-served basis?
“Actually… that hasn’t been confirmed yet.”
-Where do you sell medicine? The fact that you mentioned the auction means that you haven’t found a way to decipher the recording device. Didn’t they choose an extreme competitive method of first-come-first-served basis to prevent the resulting decline in value?
‘Anyway, it’s tricky.’
Fermi’s expression did not change at all.
“Of course, but the situation is a bit delicate. If you don’t accept my offer, I’m going to fall for someone far away. “A sharp robber is pointing a knife next to me
.”
-What do you mean by that?
Sirone stepped forward.
“Hello, Mr. Operator. My name is Sirone. From what I heard, The Abyss…
-Shut up. I didn’t connect to you. Sirone was in tears.
-Sirone? What do you think will change if Yahweh intervenes? I don’t need that kind of recording device.
Fermi smiled.
“Oh, that’s not it. “You can guess what they’re crazy about just by looking at the things they buy at auction.”
“Don’t do that, let’s do it together. Good things are good, right? “Please make one program for use in The Abyss.”
There was silence for a moment.
-no. We have to fight against the sun. You won’t do it? And then it gets eaten by the West?
Sirone came out again.
“Operator, I don’t know what solar warfare is, but…
-If you don’t know, turn it off. Why do you keep interrupting me? And how come you don’t know solar war? That’s stupid.
The veins on Sirone’s neck stood up.
“I don’t know. But is that more important than human life?”
-haha! You speak well. I see that you are Yahweh here too. If you are confident, come and find me. If you beat me in a duel, I’ll grant any request you make.
Fermi sighed.
‘I don’t like this.’
It was nearly impossible to beat the operator, who was ranked No. 1 in Seoguk and No. 1 overall, one-on-one.
“Okay!”
Shirone shouted.
“You’re just waiting there! I’m going to crush this gear or something!”
