Pick Me Up, Infinite Gacha

#257

257. Requiem (3)

creak.

When I reached the end of the stairs, a part of the iron passageway shook and made an uneasy sound.

I caught my breath, killed the presence, and began to creep down the aisle.

‘Shall we sort it out?’

At 2 a.m., an executive meeting is held on the top floor of the cruise.

Dorado’s ending screening will be held there. If you can know the ending, you will be able to get a definitive clue about El Cid.

Of course, there are a few problems.

The first is that the security is not a joke.

The second is that you need a pass to access the top floor.

The guards can get away with it somehow, but

the door to the top floor is impossible to get through without scratching the pass.

‘A pass.’

I remembered the wall clock I saw in the banquet hall.

9:45 p.m. About 4 hours left until 2am.

It’s not that I don’t have enough time, but I will fail if I drag my time. There is no assurance that another opportunity will come. Somehow, this time, we have to get a clue.

“Who are you?”

I looked away.

At the end of the aisle outside the cabin, a guard in a bulletproof uniform put his hand on the pistol holster.

The guy said without letting go of his guard.

“Do not approach. This is a restricted area.”

“…Hmm.”

I came this far after chasing that cheeky bastard.

It also seemed like a place no one could come to.

“I’m lost, but. What’s here?”

“It’s a VIP lounge.”

“VIP?”

can you give me that info

I chuckled.

If you make a fuss here, it will flow out immediately.

you must be confident

“If you understand, go. If you do something suspicious, I will call reinforcements.”

“…”

It’s not even a job to subdue this guy.

However, if you act clumsily and Moebius finds out about this, things become a nuisance.

ha.

I sighed and raised both hands.

“Turn your back and walk slowly. The ballroom elevator will come up the stairs.”

The distance to him is about 30m.

The movements are skilled. It takes about 0.1 second to pull it out and shoot it.

Even if it misses, if the gunshot leaks out, it’s over.

“Okay. You can go.”

“I’ll shoot you when you come closer.”

The guard drew his pistol and pointed it at me.

With my back turned to him, I raised my hands and walked towards the exit.

While walking, he snapped his right index finger.

Whoops.

A black hole opened behind the sheriff.

“…?!”

puck!

The Bifrost’s scabbard struck him in the back of the head.

The blood splattered and the guy rolled over. I slowly approached the guard lined up in the aisle.

‘Let’s see.’

Pistol and walkie-talkie.

Is this cylindrical part a silencer?

I took my belongings and threw the man outside.

He fell into the dark sea.

‘I don’t think I need to use a knife.’

I’ve never fired a pistol, but I know how to use it.

Just aim the gun, pull the trigger, and you’re done.

Whoops.

Snap your finger one more time.

Bifrost disappeared to where it was originally.

After assembling the silencer on the pistol, I opened the door and entered.

“hmm?”

I met the eyes of a guard standing in the hallway.

“Who…”

Bang.

I put a bullet between his forehead.

The guard was strewn across the hallway without even screaming.

I’m disappointed. Given that the level of the guards is this high, it seems that his level is not very high.

After exiting the narrow hallway, a wide hall appeared.

There are no expenses here. However, CCTVs were all around the hall.

‘…’

I kicked the wall next to the hallway door and lightly jumped up.

After putting my feet on the ceiling, I started walking upside down on the surface of the ceiling.

There is no blind spot at the bottom, but there is at the top.

simply pass through.

After that, I ran into the guard a few times, but I put a bullet in the guard each time.

By the time I had completely emptied one of the magazines, I was able to reach the ornately decorated door.

A faint laugh was heard from inside the room.

jump.

I opened the door and entered.

A blond young man is drinking in a posh common room.

“…?”

One right by the door.

bang. I turned the gun sideways and pulled the trigger.

Three people in front of the pool to the left of the break room. One guy playing chess on the table. Another security guard watching the CCTV footage. Another guy pointing a gun at me.

Tang Tang Tang Tang Tang.

I swept the left side of the break room like a wildfire.

The recoil of a pistol doesn’t bother me at all.

“Oh my, my, crazy!”

Tatatatatatang!

The one on the right fired a rifle at me in the face.

[This hero has physical immunity!]

[This hero has physical immunity!]

[This hero has physical immunity!]

[This hero has physical immunity…]

Bang.

End with this.

I threw down the pistol and approached the blond young man who was trembling behind the couch.

“How are you…?”

“What about the pass?”

“No, the guards…”

“Where are the passes?”

“You bastard, do you know how to do things like this and be safe! I’m a full-time employee of Mobius! A lowly master like you doesn’t know the subject! You dare to make a mess in the company’s facilities? How did you get the CEO’s favor, but you can’t leave out this job! Enforcement agents will come and tear you to pieces!”

I said in an emotionless voice.

“It doesn’t really matter.”

“It doesn’t matter? This doesn’t matter?! At the place where you were invited…!”

“The CEO said he’d make me his right arm?

If this guy was a really important person, he would have attached a direct escort.

Like Alpha Zero. It was clear at a glance that the middle-aged man’s secretary, Sizel, was quite strong.

“If you make it up and say it, they’ll see it. Aren’t they?”

“…?”

“Yes? No?”

I hit the young man on the shin.

With the sound of bones breaking, the guy’s shin snapped in the opposite direction.

“Aaaaaaagh!”

“Isn’t that true?”

I smiled and rummaged through the pockets of his suit.

The pass was found shortly after.

“Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!”

The young man rolled on the floor, sneezing with tears.

He glared at me ferociously even as he screamed.

“Ahhhhhhhhhhh… you son of a bitch! It’s not enough that I broke my limited Lamborghini during the event…”

Bakak.

I slapped the young man’s face with my heel.

He trembled and drooped.

‘There’s still work to be done.’

I focused my attention on my hands.

Paperweight! Red lightning exploded from the fingertips, opening a pitch-black hole.

subspace. It was one of the additional skills learned as the proficiency of the gravity system increased.

Whoops!

Things that were scattered in the break room were sucked into the subspace.

Drops of blood, guns, and corpses.

As I passed the hallway I came from, I sucked up the other corpses as well.

The railing of the outer aisle outside.

I spread my clenched hands.

The black hole reopened and the trash began to discharge into the sea.

‘There is no evidence.’

maybe.

I put the pass in my arms and ran up the stairs.

The high-rise cruise was also very strict, but I lowered my eyes and made my way through the loopholes. Then, I swiped my pass card on the reader at the iron gate at the entrance to the 7th floor.

Beep.

The red signal in the reader turned green.

I opened the gate and entered the 7th floor of the cruise.

‘Now it’s… 1:00 in the morning.’

I walked around the ship looking at the map of the passenger ship that was robbed by a security guard.

I made eye contact with an employee, but he passed by as if he didn’t know anything.

It was natural. I changed into a guard uniform and put on a dark blue guard cap.

Inside, the boundaries were surprisingly loose.

I was able to enter the meeting room without much restraint.

Round tables lined up, so no one could be seen in the meeting room.

It’s probably not meeting time yet.

I looked around the large conference room.

A projector for image reproduction is placed on the circular table.

A long screen was installed in front of it. They’re probably trying to show the ending of Dorado here.

I looked around the meeting room again.

It was an ordinary conference room with nothing special except for a projector and a screen, but there was a vent in the corner.

I jumped up and opened the lid. It’s a little dirty… but I think you can sneak in. The angle of the vent and the screen is also the same. If you go in and close the lid, you can see the screen through the gap without being noticed.

‘Should I even do something like this?’

I felt skeptical for a moment, but since I’ve come this far, I can’t help it.

I put myself inside the vent. Dust and musty smells blocked my eyes.

I decided to wait for people to gather while looking at the clock in the conference room.

2:05 in the morning.

In the conference room, there were about ten people sitting and whispering.

Most of them seem to have gathered, but the top seat at the table and the seat to the left of it were empty. The seat of honor must be Alpha Zero’s, and the chair on the left must be the guy I killed.

“Talking about El Cid again? It’s already over. I’m dying of boredom.”

A middle-aged man with a protruding stomach murmured.

As if to counter him, Mobius executives constantly complained.

The commotion died down when the side door to the conference room opened.

‘That guy…’

was Sizel, the director’s exclusive assistant.

Sizel walked to the table with firm steps.

“Where’s the director? It’s the beginning of the meeting.”

“Your health has deteriorated rapidly and you are resting.”

“Then the meeting…?”

Sizel shook her head.

“I’ll have to postpone it until later. Sorry for the controversy. I hope you all enjoy your vacation on the cruise.”

“Are you in vain?”

“He had a seizure…”

Siselle lowered her eyes.

The executives clicked their tongues and slipped out of the conference room.

‘…for a moment.’

If that’s the case, it’s completely nonsense.

Sizel, who was left alone in the conference room, was tidying up the papers on the table.

clap.

Suddenly, while sorting out papers, Sizel locked the door to the conference room and drew the blinds on the windows.

“Come out, Loki.”

Sizel said in a subdued voice.

“…”

Knocked out.

I kicked the vent cover with my foot and jumped to the floor.

And I brushed the dust off my clothes.

“When did you know?”

“From the beginning.”

Sizel sighed deeply.

“Even if he had an accident, he hit it hard. You would have thought that he would have killed the 2nd team leader of the management department within the cruise. Even if it’s the CEO.”

Sizel put the tidy papers into the three-folder next to the

table

.

Oh no,

I scratched the back of my head,

“Well, that person is guilty of contempt. She was going to be fired anyway.”

Siselle chuckled.

She handed me a paper cup of water from the water purifier.

I drank.

“So, why did he invite me?”

I threw the paper cup into the trash.

” You called me on purpose, right? I certainly didn’t invite you to celebrate.”

“…”

“If you’re going to do something like this, don’t you think I have something for you

?

” “…Follow me.”

Sizel

walked

into the secret passage without hesitation. “Did you try

to

test me?”

“If I couldn’t come to the meeting room, I’d cancel this job?

Or was I just fooling around?

I don’t know.

I shrugged my shoulders and followed her. A

long, narrow, dark passageway continued.

The passageway ended in an instant.

Suddenly, the surroundings became bright.

A large room.

Complex computers and monitor wires were lined up.

In addition, various mechanical devices of unknown purpose stood out.

“This is his office. After coming out of the headquarters, he’s working here.”

“…”

“He’ll be back soon.”

Kirik.

The sound of wheels on a worn-out wheelchair.

I looked to the side. A middle-aged man was approaching with a wheelchair.

Pink. She was wearing a fur pajama and had an SD character drawn on her pajamas.

‘That character is…’

Dazzling blonde hair and green eyes.

Silver armor and a flaming sword

. It’s Siris.

I grabbed my forehead. “…

Loki .” The director

, who met his

eyes, muttered,

Sizel

went behind him and grabbed the handle of the wheelchair

. ”

They say

it’s nice to meet you.”
