Chapter 327
Isabel pours out all her sorrowful emotions.
While watching the little Coldblood sobbing pitifully, a question suddenly occurred to me.
‘How did you find out?’
It is true that the original PS-111 is Cold Blood, but if you look at its appearance, it looks completely different. Except for part of the brain, there is not a single element that is reminiscent of the original.
In addition, MPS-05 is a sub-terminal created by PS-111 modeled after its own face. It is impossible to tell who the original is by looking at it.
‘Even if you had the ability to see, you wouldn’t be able to recognize it.’
I also saw PS-111, but I couldn’t figure out who Coldblood was. Only the product’s serial number and individual name were displayed, but no other information was displayed.
‘Do they have detection technology that I don’t know about?’
Thinking back, the circumstances already existed.
When I first met Isabelle, she immediately knew that I was an Aimov Ranker. At the time, I didn’t notice anything strange. Because I am the only Amorph who hides himself with the ‘mimetic organ’.
But it’s strange to see it again.
There are many possibilities, such as a cult hiding itself with psychic technology, humans in disguise, etc., so is there any reason to single me out as Amorph? Unless they somehow know that I am an Amorph.
“help. help.”
MPS-05’s voice woke me from my thoughts.
The one being held by Isabel struggles. No combat-related characteristics were implanted into him. It scratched Isabel’s scales with its metal claws, but it only made small scratches.
“….”
But whether it worked, Isabel’s reaction changed as she cried. The white scales gradually returned to their original blue color. The movement of the heart and muscles also stabilized.
After calming herself down, Isabel put down MPS-05. The little Screamer jumped on my back, its metal legs busy. And he hid himself under the shaggy fur.
“…that.”
Little Coldblood, who was watching this, opened his mouth.
“Where is your original copy?”
“original?”
“That’s a machine made by cloning my sister.”
After hearing what he said, I became confident.
Isabelle has detection methods that are far superior to common detection techniques such as clairvoyance characteristics. Thanks to that, we were able to detect what the MPS model is.
“…I think the story will be long.”
At that time, Heavenly Mother joined the conversation.
“Let’s go to the warehouse and talk.”
As she said, this place is not suitable for long conversations.
Isabel’s eyes rested on the basket in my hand. After a while, the guy nodded.
“good.”
We moved to the warehouse where the Coldblood slaves were hiding, just like we did yesterday.
After arriving in the basement of the warehouse, food was handed out to the slaves who were praying.
“Thank you, Savior, for your grace.”
Just like yesterday, the slaves bowed to him. As was the case yesterday, Isabelle looked somewhat awkward even though she must have only heard thank you once or twice.
We handed the food to the slaves and went back up to the warehouse. After quickly cleaning up after herself, Isabel looked at me, or rather, at the MPS-05 hiding in my fur, and opened her mouth.
“Now tell me.”
Isabel and the Mother of Heaven, both of their eyes are focused on me.
‘how will we do it?’
There’s no doubt that PS-111 is important to him. If you take advantage of this, you will be able to get more information out of him. Even the ranker he knows and things about this world that I don’t know.
Also, if you build a friendly relationship with him, it will help you later. This is because you are attracting rankers with the ability to read information as allies.
‘I wish I had that ability, but…’
If Isabel’s abilities come from a special privilege, then eating her is an option worth considering. Of course, his relationship with Heavenly Mother would be completely ruined, but even taking that into account, the ability to read information is very attractive.
The problem is when it is not a perk but comes from a trait or other ability. If Isabel’s abilities come from characteristics or skills that I don’t know about, it would be a headache.
If you eat it while wearing ‘Symbol of the Hunt’, you will almost certainly gain one trait, but there is no guarantee that it will be the trait you want. If you eat it and get the wrong characteristics, the loss will be severe.
‘In that case, it is more beneficial to be friendly right now.’
After taking a short time to gather my thoughts, I explained things about PS-111 to Isabel.
When did you meet him, what kind of being is he, and who is the culprit who turned him into a mutant screamer, etc. I gave Isabel a brief summary of what I knew.
Isabel just listened without saying anything from beginning to end.
“…I thought it was strange.”
After the long story was over, Isabel said without thinking.
“There was a strange code number next to my sister’s name.”
「Strange numbers?」
“PS-111 and MPS-05. “I think the P here is the first letter of my sister’s name.”
“That means they are twin rankers…”
“That’s right. Me, ranked 22nd, and Penelope, ranked 18th. “We are the twins.”
As soon as the story about his identity came out, MPS-05, who had been hiding, carefully crawled out. The main body in the mansion must also be listening to our conversation.
“Sister, are you listening to PS-111 too?”
“okay. “It’s in a different place.”
“I see. “Do you even know what happened to the real… real sister who is not a clone?”
Instead of answering, I pulled out someone’s genes latent in my body. A small cocoon on its back was torn, and a human-faced insect with the face of a male cult crawled out of it.
“Did you call me?”
Jason’s human face, summoned for the first time in a long time, appeared much more obedient than before. The belligerent appearance he had when fighting me was nowhere to be seen.
“That… really?”
“#10 cult ranker Jason. “He’s one of the guys that was chasing you.”
“under.”
Isabelle laughed. Of course, I only made laughing sounds with my mouth and my eyes didn’t do that at all.
“I can’t believe Jason, who is so fucking good-looking, is like this. “I really don’t know what’s going on in the world.”
「Isabel?」
Isabel cursed in a calm tone.
The resentment must have been so deep that a swear word came straight out of the mouth of the guy who had only called me by a derogatory name. Heaven’s mother also seemed taken aback, perhaps because Isabel’s strong reaction was unexpected.
“I guess there were others besides this guy?”
“Other than Jason, the only one dead is Cynthia. “I haven’t met the rest yet.”
“You killed Cynthia?”
“okay.”
The guy’s antennae twitched when he heard what I said. He seemed as shocked by Cynthia’s death as he was by Jason’s death. It’s worth it. From my experience of having fought both of them once, Cynthia was a more difficult opponent than Jason.
‘Well, strictly speaking, I didn’t catch it.’
There was no need to talk about No. 26 and Aadhai.
“…Is that why it is like that?”
The guy muttered quietly to himself and turned his eyes to me. He seemed to guess why I had called Jason.
The reason for bringing out Inmyeonchung at this point is no different.
Jason has hunted other players in the past. In the process, I also fought with Isabelle’s colleagues.
I would like to check here again what happened to the players I hunted back then.
“You know about Isabel, right?”
“yes. “I remember seeing your face.”
“What did you do to her colleague?”
“I killed him and took away his privilege.”
Isabelle closed her eyes tightly at Jason’s confirmation. The guy’s eyelids fluttered.
Heavenly Mother, who was watching, placed her hand on Isabel’s shoulder. While she was comforting him, I retrieved Jason’s face bug.
“In the end, all that remains is my sister’s shadow.”
Isabelle spoke softly in a trembling voice. The guy barely composed himself and slightly pushed her hand away. Then he let out a sigh full of meaning.
“There must be a reason why Moffak behaved so kindly. what do you want?”
I glanced sideways at Heavenly Mother to tell her to start slowly.
“The plan to transport cold blood underground. “I think I need to revise it.”
“Amend it?”
“For some reason, it is difficult to increase the number of parasites here.”
The fact that parasites cannot be used could act as a weakness, so we decided to hide this part. As I said before, she delivered the truth with a slight twist.
“So we have to allow the cold bloods to move and leave on their own. Or you should go together.”
“Like I said before, that’s impossible….”
“I want you to lead them, my family, to the end.”
“Family…?”
Isabel’s eyes widened at those words.
“I don’t know what you’re staying here for. But is that more important than being with your family? They need you. No, you need them too. “Not just for living here, but for continuing to live in the future.”
Her advice was something she could only say because she lost her family right before her eyes.
Perhaps because Isabel had just heard of her sister’s death from her enemy, she was unable to refute it right away. His antennae were shaking and his eyes were wandering, so he seemed to be quite worried. Heavenly Mother, who knew that he was in conflict, quietly waited for his choice.
After a long time had passed, the guy nodded slightly.
“I’ll do as Seo-ah says.”
After much thought, the option he chose was to follow us.
“Really?”
“Yes. But I need time to follow your opinion.”
“That doesn’t matter. “I need to prepare this too.”
“And Moffak.”
‘huh?’
Isabel called me.
“Your sister’s clone, PS-111, is also on this planet?”
“okay.”
“Can we meet before we escape?”
I could not readily answer Isabel’s request. The reason I only brought MPS-05 is because PS-111 is difficult to move around the streets. It takes quite a bit of preparation to allow two people to meet.
‘I think he knows that too.’
Looking at his slightly shaking eyes, he seemed to have guessed that it was a difficult task. I know it’s not easy, but I still want to see it even more.
‘But that doesn’t mean it’s impossible.’
Now that he has decided to join us, there is no reason to spend a long time in the fortress. It might be okay to use a warehouse that has been rented in advance.
“I think it’s possible in a certain place.”
I told him where we could meet. When a familiar place came out of my mouth, he immediately nodded.
“We can meet there.”
“good. “I’ll see you there tomorrow at this time.”
It was a more satisfying result than expected. I was thinking about threatening him if things didn’t go well, but I didn’t have to.
Even before Isabelle left, she bowed her head to me and the Mother of Heaven. It was a completely different attitude from yesterday, when he left without saying anything.
“I’m glad things worked out well.”
“There is still a long way to go. “We too, that child.”
“Yes.”
The Mother of Heaven looked back every now and then to see if she was worried about Isabel, who was devastated.
I checked MPS-05 back in my backpack.
“are you okay?”
“No problem.”
It was the same reaction as usual, but I sensed that he was interested in this situation. This is a guy who always wanted to confirm his original existence. Isn’t the main body in the mansion contemplating what kind of conversation to have with Isabelle?
‘I’ll have to think about what to ask too.’
Something about fantasy, something about cult rankers on this planet, etc.
Actually, you can ask after leaving Berzan 02, but it wouldn’t be a bad idea to ask and check whenever the opportunity arises.
With that in mind, we boarded the airship and returned to the mansion.
–
“Nothing special happened today?”
“Yes. “There are headache medications that ‘Tool’ takes, but it won’t be a big factor.”
“It’s medicine. Well, it’s not something that can be prevented with medicine. “Leave it alone.”
“And it has also been confirmed that there is an increase in brain activity during sleep and an increase in fitness levels.”
“Really?”
“Yes.”
“That’s interesting information. “I will deliver this to ‘the other side.’”
As usual, Isabel reported today’s events to the being beyond the tombstone.
“I’m doing well. “Keep an eye on it and report any problems.”
“Yes.”
“Then that’s it for today…”
“Do you mind if I ask you one question?”
“huh?”
Usually she just reported and finished, but today was different. Today, she heard something that could be a big turning point in her life.
Now that I heard that, I had to check it out even if my life was in danger.
“I would like to ask you about Cynthia, who guided me through the plan. “Is he well?”
“Cynthia? “Why are you curious about that?”
A reaction that seemed to ask why I was asking that. Isabel continued speaking naturally.
“Thanks to him, I was able to avoid becoming addicted to this world. “It is thanks to him that I am able to serve the plan.”
「Hmm.」
“You left for somewhere else in the meantime to carry out a great plan, but I was still worried about how you were doing. So I asked a question.”
After saying that, she knelt down in front of the tombstone.
A modulated voice came out again from the tombstone that had been floating quietly without any sound.
“Cynthia is working hard to carry out the plan. “No need to worry.”
“Is that so?”
“Nothing like cancer. I deliberately went to another place to find your sister. Of course it should be like that.”
“….”
“I will convey your feelings to her. then.”
The person who said that immediately turned off the tombstone. A deactivated tombstone landed in front of her head.
Even though the tombstone was turned off, Isabel did not get up and continued to lie down. It was so as not to reveal his feelings.
Now she was consumed with anger she had never felt in her life.
They told her a blatant lie.
Even though it had been a while since her older sister, Penelope, died, he had been lying to her. Even when their colleagues die, they hide the fact.
With this, the direction she needs to go becomes clear.
By destroying what they call the ‘great plan’.
