I don’t remember, but someone said it.

Even if you see the same thing, the view you see is different depending on where you are standing.

As the saying goes, the view from the ground and the view from the top of the trailer of a large cargo truck felt quite different.

“Move quickly!”

“There is no need to clean it up completely! Just clear it enough for the procession to pass through!”

“Hey, there! Be careful not to get crushed!”

Sitting high up like this and watching the people forming a single group move around, I felt like I was squatting in a corner of a playground and observing a swarm of ants.

I guess it felt that way because the clothes I was wearing were mostly black.

‘Actually, I need to do something about that guy’s suit…’

There is a saying that if it is unclear what to wear, it is best for a man to wear a suit. As many people are armed in black suits, it looks quite attractive, but in fact, these suits are very unsuitable for bodyguards. .

After all, since it is called a suit in the first place, it is certain that it will be uncomfortable when moving.

In addition, defense power was extremely low.

So, as I was thinking about how best to change that, I couldn’t think of the answer I was looking for, and my thoughts suddenly went to a strange place.

‘But is that man, Keiko’s father, really dead?’

When I first heard that, I didn’t have time to think about anything else, so I couldn’t even think about whether it was true or not. I just thought it was something like that and moved on, but now that I think about it, it felt a little strange.

First of all… Keiko said that the direct cause of death of her father, Junichi Matsumoto, was a sudden heart attack.

A key person who had been involved in a research called ‘hypnosis app development’ that was ruined the moment it was discovered suddenly died of a heart attack.

Isn’t there already a suspicious smell wafting from there?

That alone may be true, but Keiko added that her father was quite thorough in self-management for a person who lives immersed in research.

But a person who cares that much about his body dies of a heart attack overnight?

And… in a situation where the development of hypnosis apps has progressed so far that there are cell phones with built-in hypnosis apps among the keepsakes?

Of course… I know.

The point is that even an ordinary healthy person can go crazy in an instant if he or she is unlucky.

That much I know, but no matter how much I think about it, there are more than one or two things that seem suspicious to me.

In that sense, what if the person named Junichi Matsumoto wasn’t actually dead, but had somehow pretended to be dead and deceived people?

Many questions are resolved.

However, if that happens, questions remain as to why he pretended to be dead and why he left a cell phone with a hypnosis app among his belongings…

First of all, there was a high possibility that Junichi Matsumoto knew that he would be murdered by someone.

If you just listen to Keiko’s explanation, it seems like he was a successful person who was treated as a major player in academia, but there was no way that a person who was knowledgeable enough to hold the title of professor at a famous university would not know how dangerous a situation he was currently in.

Whether the facts about the research are leaked out and those who come across the information come to placate or eliminate the key personnel, or whether high-ranking people who want the development of a hypnosis app move to silence me thinking that enough is enough, I am sure that I will be harmed in some way. He must have clearly expected that a knife would be put to his throat, and what if he had expected it?

Of course, you would have prepared for that as well.

Unless you wish to commit suicide, there is no way you would choose to die without making any preparations.

And what if that guy called Daebi was using a hypnosis app?

What if he used that to deceive those who came to kill him, and even deceived his family?

It was a sudden thought, but it was a possibility.

If he was really a key person in the development of the hypnosis app, it would not have been a problem to secretly steal even a sample that showed proper effectiveness.

Perhaps… at the point when a properly functioning sample was born, even the laboratory that was mobilized for the research may have fallen into his hands.

And leaving a cell phone with a hypnosis app among the keepsakes…wasn’t it a final act of consideration for her daughter, who would be left alone?

‘Well, if it goes like this…’

This means that there is at least one more hypnosis app in this world besides the ones I currently have…

As I thought there was a high probability of that happening, I suddenly started to get a little worried.

I don’t know if it was the effect of the link management app or what, but Keiko’s hypnosis app had no effect on me, but there was no guarantee that even the one owned by Junichi Matsumoto would.

As it is highly unlikely that a person named developer would have taken care of something with a weak effect, he must at least have something with a stronger effect than what Keiko had… And even in the case of the hypnosis app that I own, it was nerfed on the grounds that I was not the rightful owner. Hasn’t this been done to a large extent?

‘Still, the level has risen a lot recently…’

Nevertheless, the fact was that it fell far short of the power of God that was used to be shown in the original work.

In that sense, what if you are truly unlucky?

In an instant, everything I had worked so hard to build could be taken away and I could be reduced to a puppet that does the man’s will.

Everything else was fine, but the thought that even my women might be taken away made me angry just thinking about it.

In a way, it could be said that that was the reason why I felt the need to prepare a preparedness plan in some way.

However, the problem is still the method…

What should I do?

What should I do to avoid having what is mine taken away, even if I fall into a trance state due to someone else’s hypnosis app?

‘Just…’

Put a semi-permanent self-hypnosis on me…?

Until now, the act of hypnotizing oneself felt a bit uncomfortable, so even when I tried to hypnotize myself, I mainly focused on things that could be easily broken or had a temporary effect… But what if something were to be engraved in my subconscious?

So, if I use that as a trigger, and set it up to kill the person in front of me the moment I fall into a trance state… wouldn’t I be able to prevent the worst situation where I end up being reduced to a puppet following someone else’s will?

The hypnosis app will be useless if you make me keep my mouth shut before revealing the details of the hypnosis you applied to me.

‘Now that I think about it, I don’t think it’s that bad…’

Still, let’s think about it a little more.

If you think about it more, you may come up with a much better way than this.

Just like that, the depth of my worries gradually deepened as the procession moved without stopping.

While Su-hyeon was struggling with the unexpected existence of another hypnosis app, they realized, albeit belatedly, that one axis of the siege network surrounding Tokyo had collapsed due to Su-hyeon’s unexpected actions. He was moving frantically as if a fire had struck him.

“Captain! Great ego!”

Among those who were moving so frantically, the ones who were reacting the most violently were those who had been almost quarantined inside Tokyo by someone else’s will.

These people were originally human, but were turned into monsters by someone’s malicious intent.

Nevertheless, voices searching for someone rang urgently inside the temporary residence created by those who chose to remain human rather than monsters.

Perhaps in response to the voice, the fabric of the shabby tent made from scrap materials was lifted to the side, revealing a woman through it.

Hair gathered into one bundle.

And the skin is so pale that you wonder if something white will come out when you touch it.

At first glance, she didn’t seem much different from an ordinary person, but that only applied to the left side of her body.

Because the other half had a completely different feeling.

Skin that was almost gray-white, like that of a corpse, eyes stained bright red, and even a bright yellow pupil in the middle of them.

In that way, a woman with two appearances in one body came out of the tent, scratching her stomach.

Judging from the fact that there was a strand of hair around his mouth, he must have been sleeping just a moment ago.

“Ahm… What’s going on that’s making such a fuss? Did you find those bastards’ secret lab again?”

“Encirclement…! The siege has been broken!”

“···What?”
