In conclusion, there was no need to rush Feng Liu to quickly retrieve the meteorite.
This is because he got the job done quickly and on his own without having to be whipped around.
Phew!
“Here! Is this it?”
Feng Liu returned like the wind with a gust of wind.
She passed through the doorway in the air and handed me the meteorite she was holding in her arms and asked.
I nodded, pulling out my keys and closing the door.
At first, I was impressed by her speed of work, but now that she had repeated the same process several times, I felt indifferent.
“Oh, right. You brought it really quickly?”
“I got caught by you, but I’m confident in my speed!”
She was smiling brightly as she said that. Seeing her stealing things and smiling like that reminded me of a playful cat.
I roughly estimated the weight of the meteorite I had received with my hand and put it into my inventory.
“This meteorite is a pretty big piece.”
This time, the place where Feng Liu stole the meteorite was an American research lab.
Unlike India or China, the United States did not collect all of its meteorites in one place.
Since most of the labs were set up by alliances of two to five adjacent states, Feng Liu had to do quite a bit of legwork to collect all the meteorites scattered across the United States.
“I’ll take a short break and then open the door to another place. Until then, stay here and drink some water.”
“I think I can go right now… ”
“I can see the sweat on your forehead. If you get into trouble and get tied up, it’ll be even more annoying to have to save you, so do as I say.”
“Okay… Anyway, no matter how I look at it, this building has a unique structure. What kind of office has so many doors?”
Feng Liu, sitting on the sofa I was pointing to, looked around and muttered.
The place where we are talking is the Hero office in Korea.
Originally, it was the office of the Supernova team led by Kang Da-kyung, but the team was disbanded after she went missing and her supporter, Assemblywoman Kang Hye-won, also went to Hell.
Thanks to that, Maria swallowed the title of the abandoned office and was using it as a temporary hideout.
The door that Feng Liu was curious about was a trace of the guys using the original protagonist’s superpower as a means of transportation.
I tried to brush aside her questions.
“I guess it was the previous owner’s taste.”
“You must have a very unique taste. You don’t even have a room, but you just put up a bunch of doors like this… ”
“Let’s do the meaningless taste analysis later. How was the support? You’ve done a few tests, so I think you’re starting to get the feel of it.”
The support we are talking about here is Maria’s support.
If we had just sent Feng Liu alone, it would have taken a long time and there was a chance that the meteorite would have failed to be retrieved, so nanobots were injected into her body.
In most cases, it would have been sufficient to simply provide a suitable terminal, but given the nature of Feng Liu’s superpowers, it was obvious that a terminal with limited input/output speed would not be of much help.
If it’s going to be helpful, it’s going to have to be able to directly interface with nerves, like nanobots.
As expected, Feng Liu’s eyes sparkled as if he liked the question I asked.
“That’s right! What the hell is this?! Is this also something made with supernatural powers, like opening a door in the air? I was surprised when I suddenly moved from Shanghai to Japan, and from Japan to Korea… This is even more amazing than that!”
“No, that’s not a superpower, it’s purely scientific technology. Anyway, it was somewhat useful, right?”
“Useful? Useful?!”
Feng Liu continued speaking while flapping his arms in a sitting position, as if he didn’t like my bland reaction, which was different from his own.
“Isn’t it all thanks to that support that I was able to bring the meteorite so quickly?! If it takes a long time to show the path to the target location, then that’s not human! I can see the guards’ locations, and the locked doors open automatically, so I literally just ran as fast as I could and got the stuff! The people there probably thought the meteorite was gone because I just blinked once? ”
‘Hey, I told you to rest, but you’re getting more excited…’
Well, it was a bit of a reaction, but it wasn’t at a level that I couldn’t understand.
The reason Maria is so excited now is because she has experienced some of the functions that nanobots can provide.
Even I, who have a superhuman ability to perceive my surroundings, would be much more comfortable with Maria’s help, so that’s all I have to say.
‘If you showed me the ability to secure a view by hacking into diagonal markings or surrounding surveillance cameras, I’d have a heart attack.’
There are also functions that I used for camouflage, such as changing hair or iris color.
I don’t plan on providing that level of functionality separately since it’s not really necessary.
Anyway, at this moment, she seemed more interested in the nanobots’ support performance than in my body.
“So how did you do it? Most sensors and machines can’t keep up with my processing speed. This one displays information in real time in my field of vision even while I’m using my superpowers?”
“I told you. It’s because the nanobots directly transmit information to the nerves. Just think of it as a navigation system in your head.”
“No matter what… does it make sense that there is such a function in navigation?”
After that, Feng Liu kept asking me questions about various things, but I brushed them away with the excuse that science classes didn’t suit my personality.
When I told him that if he kept bothering me, I would retrieve the nanobots and have them find the rest of the meteors on their own, he finally became a little quiet.
At that moment, I was about to open the door with the key again and send Feng Liu to the next destination to rest.
Squeak-
“Huh?”
The office door opened and new characters appeared.
A beauty with pitch-black hair flowing down her back and a blonde with twintails.
It was Bae Yeon-hee and Seo Na-young.
‘Oh, they were there too.’
They were also using this temporary hideout, so it wouldn’t be awkward if they showed up at any time. In a way, since they were originally working under Kang Da-kyung, they were probably more familiar with the hideout.
Although I had already introduced the two to the Lee sisters, it seemed like they would be more comfortable staying in a hideout like this rather than staying at the Lee sisters’ house.
“Oh…! It’s Ignis!”
“Ignis… ?”
Seon Na-young, who discovered me first, called out my name, and Bae Yeon-hee turned her head to follow her gaze and made eye contact with me.
At that point, Seo Na-young had already jumped into my arms with her twintails fluttering.
In the backlash, the oversized jacket that had been draped over his shoulders fell carelessly to the floor.
“Ha, I told you to wear proper clothes… If you just drape them over your shoulders, they’ll always fall to the ground.”
Bae Yeon-hee, who was walking behind, grumbled and picked up the jacket.
When you put the two together, it looks like they’re like sisters.
‘It was clear that the two were almost enemies…’
Could it be because I took care of the boss who was making us compete with each other? It seemed like our relationship had definitely gotten closer since the last time I saw him.
“But Ignis is here!”
“I can’t say hello because of you. Come out.”
“Wooow… ”
Seo Na-young tried not to let go of me, rubbing her face against my chest, but when Bae Yeon-hee grabbed her by the nape of her neck and lifted her up, she gave up resisting and sagged like a cat.
“It’s been a long time… isn’t it? It hasn’t even been a week.”
I searched my memory carefully and greeted Bae Yeon-hee.
I’ve been traveling around reality and all sorts of places for quite some time now, but by their standards, taking down a villain organization in Japan is the most recent thing.
“Oh, right. Nothing happened, right?”
“I’m healthy, so I’m fine. How about you guys?”
“We also… ”
“Eight! If you’re going to say such a boring greeting, get off! I’ll say hello too!”
Seo Na-young, who was being held by Bae Yeon-hee, flailed her short arms and legs. Still, it seemed that the effect of grabbing her by the scruff of the neck did not last long, as if she was not a real cat.
Bae Yeon-hee also didn’t hold on for no reason and let go without any regrets.
“Okay, then.”
“Ignis! I missed you!”
Her sparkling, swirling eyes were fixed on mine.
I stroked her blonde hair as she smiled and leaned in closer.
“Yeah, it looks like you’re doing well too.”
“Ugh… I’m older than you, but you keep patting my head… ”
“So you don’t like it?”
“… That’s not it!”
Seon Na-young, who had been pretending to look angry, sat on my lap with a laugh.
Bae Yeon-hee looked at Seo Na-young, who was acting like that while leaving the sofa with many empty seats, as if she found it pitiful, but she didn’t even glance at Bae Yeon-hee.
How can you expect me to treat you like an older sister when you act like this? If you only look at the outside, it seems legal… and that’s it.
I don’t know about the Lee sisters, but it’s a bit difficult to call Seo Na-young “noona.”
Finally, Bae Yeon-hee let out a small sigh and sat down across from me.
“… So what’s that open door behind me? Since nothing happened, did they just forget to close it? ”
“Door? Ahh… ”
As I was resting my chin on Seon Na-young’s head in my arms, the sudden appearance of the two people made me remember something I had forgotten.
‘Oh, right. I should tell you about Feng Liu. It came to my mind because Bae Yeon-hee asked.’
“By the way, I have someone I want to introduce to you… ”
Phew!
“Ignis! This time, it worked!”
“… … ?”
Just as I was about to speak, Feng Liu appeared again through the open door in the air with a gust of wind.
