“Gasp.. gasp, gasp.. Somehow.. I think I shook it off…”

Ji-hoon wipes the sweat dripping down his forehead. The back alley, filled with a chilly chill, is surprisingly dirty.

If you walk a few meters away, you can see a flashy night street full of flashy neon signs, but the back alley where Ji-hoon and So-na-gi were hiding was nothing but a foul smell and thick fiber optic cables attached to the walls.

“You… Haa… You weren’t shot anywhere, were you?”

The rain wiped away the sweat dripping from her forehead. Bright red blood was flowing from her worried left arm.

“Oh my.. You, Sonagi. Fuck.. You’re the one bleeding.”

“It’s okay. I guess I got the implant for nothing. Sigh… Is it adranel?.. is it dopamine? Something, it’s coming out so it doesn’t hurt at all.”

“I bet it doesn’t hurt at all..”

Ji-hoon ran so hard that his pants got soaked. He was better than expected until he left the bank, but the problem started after he left.

As the big guys with guns rushed at him from all directions, Ji-hoon couldn’t even touch his smartphone and instinctively had no choice but to hold Sonagi’s hand and run to survive.

“Still… Phew, somehow I got to the laundromat without any problems.”

Sonagi, who doesn’t care about bleeding, goes a little further into the back alley, holding the half-empty bag in his right hand. As he goes down the stairs with the dreary air blowing in, he sees a laundromat with its sign turned off.

“Jihoon. Can you scan it for me?”

“…There’s nothing.”

Although there were people, Lucky Venus’ security team had a unique ID that anyone could tell was them. It was confirmed that there was no such thing.

“Okay, then I should get the money now.”

Sonagi lightly wipes the blood flowing down her left arm and opens the door to the laundry. Contrary to her expectations that it would be tightly shut, the door opens with a creaking sound.

Of course, there was no one at the counter. However, since light was leaking out of the red room, Sonagi and Jihoon went inside.

“Grandma. Even though it was the last minute, Jihoon uploaded the program like you told him to, right? ”

Sonagi pointed at Jihoon with his thumb, and Grandma Ha shifted her gaze once and nodded.

“Thanks to you guys, I feel like a tooth that has been aching for a long time has been pulled out… Hohoho”

“Don’t give unnecessary compliments. Give me the money quickly. Money.”

Sonagi puts her palm forward and shakes it. She looks very impatient, but Grandma Ha doesn’t say anything and just moves her fingers.

The sound of typing on the keyboard was briefly heard by the three of them, and she smiled kindly.

“There is no account created in the name of that young man, so the compensation that was supposed to be paid was all sent to Sonagi, so please check.”

” and…”

Sonagi has a blank expression on her face as she immediately checks the money deposited using her brain chip.

“Hey, hey. Rain. How much did you get? How much? Fifty million won?”

“Oh.. What kind of idiot is Ohcheon! Hey, Grandma. Is it okay to give this much money?”

“You’ll have to spend a lot of money to get into Neo Seoul, so you should give me this much.”

Sonagi smiled faintly at her grandmother’s words.

“Then Grandma, please help me find a house to live in Neo Seoul. You can do it if you become friends with the fixer there.”

“Yeah, once I find a house, getting a pass is a piece of cake. Hahaha.”

Sonagi smiled with satisfaction and stepped back, then looked at Jihoon and held up five fingers. Both his left and right hands.

“What the… . You said it wasn’t 50 million won earlier, but maybe 100 million won? ”

“What the heck? 1 billion. That picky old lady sent us 1 billion.”

“10.. billion?!”

I’m surprised to hear the word 1 billion. But Sonagi’s expression is somewhat boring.

“1 billion is a lot of money, but… it’s not that surprising. You’re really surprising. What’s 1 billion? We just need to find an officetel where the two of us can live.”

◦ Wai is crazy.

Ji-hoon could only repeat no like a broken clock, but when he thought about the price of ramen, he could understand the price of the house.

In fact, how much would it cost to rent a house in Seoul, South Korea? He didn’t know because he didn’t live in Seoul, but he knew it would be quite expensive.

“Wow… How old am I… Twenty… Wow..”

Ji-hoon, who had never dreamed of owning his own home, pinched his cheeks as if this was a dream. The fat that was growing hurt, and the butt that Sonagi was slapping while laughing also hurt.

“Then, what is it? Starting today, I can go to Neo Seoul and live there?”

“Well, that’s not it. It’ll take a day or two. Grandma? How hard would it be to find a house in Neo Seoul?”

“You’re treating me like water. Sonagi. No matter how old this old lady is, she can easily get a house like the one in Neo Seoul.”

* * * * *

“This… This costs tens of millions of won?”

“Yeah. Seriously. It’s called a resident registration card. You need this to live in Neo Seoul, right? Just to get in, seriously… sigh, you have to take off your underwear and get tested.”

While waiting for the car in front to move, Sonagi pointed to the ‘Resident Registration Card’ hanging on her chest. It looked almost the same as the Resident Registration Card Jihoon knew, but its value was far greater than she had imagined.

There was even a gold chip and a magnetic stripe, so Sonagi didn’t seem to be lying when she seriously said that there were places that required this resident registration card to enter.

“Panties… No, what… You’re stripping everyone naked and examining them? Why?”

“Of course. If you enter Neo Seoul, your life will be ruined! You live as a vagabond and you never know when you might die. There are a lot of people who try to sneak into Neo Seoul as a last resort.”

“…I guess there’s someone who does things like smuggling.”

“Oh, what is it? Kim Ji-hoon. You already got your memory back? That’s right. There are so many people who sneak things like electronic drugs or gum on their bodies.”

“…Put it in the box?”

When Ji-hoon asks openly, Sonagi snickers and laughs.

“It doesn’t matter if you’re a man or a woman. Hey. If you put a pill bottle in your asshole and go to Neo Seoul, they’ll give you 100 million won. Are you going to do it or not?”

“…Wow, fuck, of course I’d do it for 100 million.”

“It’s the same. There’s no distinction between men and women. Well, women do have a slight advantage. Since there are two holes.”

Sonagi made two fingers and moved them like scissors, then pointed to his lower abdomen.

“Somehow I’ll try to live in Neo Seoul. There were people who used this place like a pocket. I told you it wasn’t a joke. I heard it too. Most of the time, if you inspect it, they just put their hands in the vagina and touch it. ”

“That’s true. Wow, then aim for that… . Your uterus like a refrigerator.”

“Yeah! Refrigerator. That’s exactly the method. Who would suspect that my lower abdomen was a bit bulging? Think of it as a side effect of an implant or a potbelly. If I spread my vagina and shine a flashlight on it, there’s no foreign matter, so how would I detect it? If I were to scan my whole body, I’d just install a device that interferes with the scan and that’s it?”

Ji-hoon was dizzy from Sonagi’s explanation, but after listening to her story, he was convinced. In reality, aren’t there people who do all sorts of strange things to smuggle outrageous things like cocaine?

The more I thought about the people of this world who have no qualms about installing electronic devices on their bodies, the more amazed I became at what they would do to their bodies in order to smuggle goods.

“Next person. Please come within the white line.”

A woman wearing a black hat waves her hand. Ji-hoon, who had heard the explanation that she was an android beforehand, couldn’t believe it.

She had the same face, skin, and breasts as a normal woman, and her body movements were not strange. There were no bizarre movements called robot dancing, and not even the uncanny valley was felt.

It was to the extent that if Ji-hoon had asked if he could have sex with the ‘female’ android right in front of him in this state, he would have thought it was OK as long as he could see it.

“Please stay still. ”

The two men on Sonagi’s motorcycle naturally got down and stood.

A bright red laser line scans Sonagi from head to toe and then the motorcycle. Jihoon’s body is also scanned from bottom to top, but strangely, it doesn’t end in one go.

“Ah, this one is pure, so there won’t be anything to scan.”

“Uh.. Pure Ishi? But we haven’t heard anything from you.”

“You have a resident registration card, right? Don’t you recognize it when you see it?”

Sonagi takes Jihoon’s ID card and hands it to the android. She is unable to say anything to Sonagi who protests and instead pushes the ID card into the hole in her palm.

“Oh, no. It looks like there was a mistake on our part. I’m sorry. Sonagi. Kim Ji-hoon. ”

The android immediately smiled brightly and took the ID card out of his palm and handed it back. However, Sonagi’s expression was not good.

“Wait.. What is this? I just finished paying my taxes and now they’re asking me to pay 50,000 won more.”

“I’m sorry, Sonagi. Because you installed an illegal implant instead of a regulated one─”

“Miss, where is that! Everyone, come out! People, not androids!!”

The rain poured down loudly, and Ji-hoon snickered. When he turned his head to the other side, he saw people in different situations than them.

The place where Ji-hoon and So-na-gi were standing was a tollgate. However, it was completely different from what Ji-hoon thought.

There was a huge wall to protect ‘Neo Seoul’, and a huge checkpoint that allowed access inside that wall, which the people of this world called a ‘tollgate’.

Ji-hoon, who hadn’t heard the explanation from Sonagi, didn’t know, but Neo Seoul was that kind of place. It was not free to enter the most glamorous and enticing subject in the world.

In order to preserve the many riches contained within, in order to preserve the sparkle, the trivial things are rejected.

‘That’s funny…’

The fight between Sonagi and Android doesn’t end easily. You might think it’s only 50,000 won, but according to Sonagi, it seems like he spent more money than he thought because of the strange tax he’s never heard of before.

Ji-hoon didn’t stop Sonagi because she was so angry that she even paid something like a ‘pregnancy refusal tax’.

This place, with a name like ‘Seo Seoul TG’, was completely different from the place Ji-hoon knew. It had a total of eight lanes. Lanes 1 to 4 on the left were filled with cars, while lanes 5, 6, and 7, including lane 6 where Ji-hoon was standing, were being inspected by androids.

The last 8 lanes were very grim, as they were the final checkpoints for people without any documents or resident registration cards.

Men with topknots and huge machetes over two meters tall bang on car doors with shotguns and force people off their motorcycles.

Whether Sonagi’s words were a lie or not, the sight of them stripping off both men and women’s clothes and scanning their entire bodies without a care gave off a strong feeling of treating people as something other than people.

“…That would be fun.”

Wouldn’t it be fun to grab a woman and spread her pussy wide or poke her with a stick or something? Just as I was thinking about that, Sonagi got on his motorcycle.

“You should’ve done that a long time ago… Ha, ah. Jihoon, get on quickly.”

“What? It’s been processed?”

“Of course it’s not processed. What tax do I have to pay again? I remembered.”

Sonagi muttered and waited for Jihoon to get on the motorcycle. The moment she lightly moved her foot, the engine roared and moved forward…

“Hey..! Rain, isn’t it going too fast?”

“Of course I have to speed up!! I’m really getting away from this damn Incheon and starting today I’m going to live in Neo Seoul with you!!”

Sonagi laughs happily and speeds up the motorcycle. Jihoon is scared by the loud noise and quickly hugs Sonagi’s waist.

Unlike last time, Sonagi pushes her butt back a little to receive Jihoon. She is already excited about living freely in Neo Seoul, doing whatever she wants.

I was able to have this level of skinship with my beloved Ji-Hoon.

“But really. Neo Seoul is really great, just like you said. Why are all the buildings so tall? My balls are going to break.”

“Even if you’re in the outskirts, the buildings in Gangnam are no joke. The land prices are crazy, so everyone’s trying to build a little higher.”

“Then does that mean the house we live in also has 30 or 40 floors?”

“I heard it’s an 80-story officetel…! Honestly, you’ll know when you go. Neo Seoul is called a city full of matchboxes for no reason”

Sonagi smiled, and at this moment, Jihoon for no reason brought his hand to Sonagi’s chest instead of her waist.

Her breasts, tightly wrapped in a black suit, were quite plump. The feeling of her soft breasts was really to die for, so Ji-hoon grabbed her breasts quite blatantly.

“You..”

Luckily, the rain stopped at a signal and the motorcycle slowly stopped. Then, she glanced at her boyfriend, Ji-hoon, who was touching her chest, and then blushed and kissed him.

“… Anyway, when I get home, all I have is luggage and a bed. Joe, just hold on for a little longer. You just have to hold on for 5 minutes. Can’t you hold on for this?”

Sonagi’s slightly shy face was strangely flushed as Jihoon wanted her.
