“Bullet… Got it… ?”
Roland looked at the scene and muttered blankly.
At first glance, it looks like the bullet was caught with one’s hand, as Roland said.
But it didn’t actually catch the bullet. It only seemed like Minho had spread his palm in advance at the location Roland had aimed through his senses.
It was an illusion caused by the shocking scene in which he blocked the bullet without even turning his head.
‘Did you say that in reality the speed of a pistol is almost the speed of sound? ‘I still feel like I’m a little short of moving at the speed of sound.’
If you raise your abilities further or your level of martial arts improves, you may be able to move at speeds faster than the speed of sound, but for now, that’s it.
Maria shouted while Minho stopped moving for a moment as he blocked the pistol with his hand.
“Roland! Minho’s artificial intelligence has now encountered a serious error. I consider myself a human being.”
“What?”
Roland was dumbfounded. You can do something crazy like take a bullet with your bare hands and still claim to be human.
That’s impossible even for Android Roland. As Maria said, it was clear that an error had occurred somewhere.
‘okay… It was Minho who proposed the factory attack operation. He was even the one who risked his life when the operation was about to fail due to the EMP weapon. It’s clear that I can’t make normal judgments right now… !’
“Minho. I will definitely return you to the way you were.”
“Yes, yes. Try it if you can.”
Roland looked at Minho with eyes full of determination.
Minho, who roughly accepted his words, reached out to put Maria back in his inventory, but Maria controlled the drone she had sent to Roland and pulled her body away from Minho.
Whick!
Buzz…
Minho shook his head at the sight of Maria flying up holding the drone with both arms. I was able to catch her, but if I was going to escape to a safe place on my own, I was planning on leaving her alone. He said, putting the riot shield back into his inventory.
“It would have been better to stay still. If you really want to stay, I won’t stop you.”
“… … .”
Maria and Roland’s tension rose as the huge 3-meter-long riot shield disappeared in an instant.
Among them, Maria couldn’t take her eyes off Minho’s hand that made the shield disappear.
‘As soon as I was attacked, a shield appeared in the air. And just like Ike and my equipment, it disappeared in an instant. Maybe the things Minho touches don’t disappear, but are stored in a certain space… !’
Even as Maria, who belongs to the highest level of artificial intelligence, I had no idea where on earth she got that kind of technology.
Because what Minho has shown so far is a disregard for the most basic physical laws of the world.
“I didn’t know that guns wouldn’t work even when you’re not armed… ”
“Hmm… ? Oh, Roland saw me fighting at the factory.”
At Roland’s muttering, Minho, who was watching Maria fly up to the factory ceiling and wondering whether she could reach there by jumping, looked at him.
“Because my body is a bit strong. To be honest, there was no need to block it with my hand, but I felt bad if it hit me directly in the face or the back of the head, so I just blocked it.”
“… Still, it wouldn’t be possible to form a fire net and respond to the barrage of gunfire. If you keep knocking, it is certain that gaps or weaknesses will come out.”
Slam!
At Roland’s signal, the androids surrounded Minho in a semicircle. Minho stands alone in the center of the factory and Awaken surrounds him.
In fact, from Minho’s point of view, even if he just took out the shield and placed it in front of him like before, he would never be able to touch him with Awaken’s current level of armament.
However, Minho, who glanced around at the troops pointing their guns at him, shrugged his shoulders without taking out his shield.
“What, they said they would return it to its original state. Are you planning on just killing me like this?”
“I just realized that I have to do this much to subdue you.”
“Still, you’re quick to judge the situation.”
‘Then let’s just play until the humans arrive.’
Minho, who had his arms crossed for a moment and stroked his chin with one hand, looked at Roland and said.
“Good. Then go at it with all your might. I only fight with my bare hands.”
“What?”
“It’s a kind of game of tag. What happens to the guy who gets touched… I’ll leave it to your imagination.”
“It’s true! Anything touched by Minho disappears in an instant like that shield from before!”
Maria’s voice came from near the ceiling. Minho shrugged his shoulders after hearing that.
“Because it would be better for me to take all the loot rather than just destroying everything for no reason.”
“If you say it disappears, why does that mean you get all the loot…? done. I will overpower you and listen to the detailed story.”
“I’m comfortable with that too… … .”
“Fire!”
Too doo doo doo!
Before Minho could even take a posture to relax, Roland cut him off and gave the order to shoot.
And the moment Roland’s instructions were given, Minho also activated his high-speed thinking and kicked the ground.
Quang!
Too doo doo!
Roland’s men aimed their guns along Minho’s movement path, but no bullets hit him directly. This was because Minho zigzagged his body to prevent them from predicting the path and shooting.
If an ordinary human had moved like that, it would have instantly turned into a beehive, but if a target moving at lightning speed made unpredictable changes in direction, there was no way it could have been hit.
Minho, who was running with his posture lowered almost as if he was stuck to the ground, placed his hand on the android on the outermost edge.
“First one.”
Okay.
“… … !”
Only then did everyone present know what Maria meant.
The android that touched Minho’s hand disappeared completely, just as it was shooting the gun.
“Keuuu… ! What did you do… !”
“Two.”
“Go away… !”
The android, who seemed to be friendly with the missing android, looked angry, but he too was placed in the inventory by Minho, who soon rushed over.
Too doo doo doo!
The shooting continued, but no matter how mechanically accurate the android was, it was unable to catch Minho, who was able to grasp the firing line with his senses and strengthen his body with internal energy to move.
As they surrounded Minho with great vigor and fired, Roland’s men diminished one by one each time Minho touched them.
“Twelve.”
widely.
“… What a monstrous move. Do you still think you are human?”
Roland, who eventually lost his last subordinate and was left alone, looked at Minho and asked.
“That’s right? I can’t really show this by cutting it open… ”
“It was not enough for me to stop you with my own strength. But no matter how strong you are, you won’t be able to take on the entire Awakens alone.”
With those last words, Roland threw the gun aside and rushed at Minho.
“Huh… !”
chin!
Geek…
Minho caught Roland running towards him with a short knife. As I tried my best to not put Roland in the inventory right away, I heard the sound of metal scraping from his arm joints. It felt like if Minho applied just a little bit of force, his arm would break.
“Ha… Since there is no role to run away, playing tag doesn’t work.”
Minho sighed and put Roland in his inventory before his arm broke. And then he spoke into the empty space of the hideout.
“Isn’t that right, Maria? I think I waited long enough. Are you ready?”
Whiik ㅡ
Kang!
A metallic object flew at high speed from behind Minho. He swatted it away with one hand.
The object that collided with the back of the hand, strengthened by Cheongung Bulbyukgong, bounced into the air with a sharp sound. After spinning and staggering several times, it soon regained its balance and flew in one direction.
If you look closely, it is not just a blade, but a drone with a sharp edge like a sword.
Buzz…
The place where such a drone flew was behind Maria, where many similar drones were flying.
While Roland and his men were taking time away from Minho, Maria took all of her remaining drones from the hideout.
Maria had new parts installed on her empty lower body and head. Drone parts shaped like skirts were attached to the areas where the legs should be, and horn-like transmitting and receiving parts were attached to the head to control multiple attack drones.
Maria looked at the empty hideout with sad eyes.
“In the end, Roland and other comrades disappeared.”
“Comrade? Are we really comrades?”
“What do you mean by that?”
Minho tilted his head and answered Maria, who was looking at him with sharp eyes.
“Actually, when I saw it, there were a lot of things about Awaken that I found disconcerting. A representative example is when Cindy, who was forcibly awakened to self-consciousness at the Paradise Club, went to Awaken without hesitation. Isn’t it strange that an android that has awakened its self-consciousness, no matter what situation it is in, automatically enters Awaken?”
“That’s… ”
“But I think what you said a little while ago was the answer. It was said that four core codes are essential for Android to awaken.”
Minho declared while facing Maria, who was floating in the air and looking down at him.
“The other androids in Awaken did not become self-aware on their own, but were merely contaminated by viruses or something like that you sent them. That’s my conclusion.”
