“Yes! That’s why we’re here now! With the square surrounded! But this information is still strange! A group of androids are suddenly planning to gather in such a prominent place!”
As Detective Branco said, there were nearly twice as many police forces camped around the square as the force that attacked the previous hideout.
As if that wasn’t enough, military troops were waiting five blocks away to be deployed in case of emergency.
‘If the surprise attack on the hideout had been successful, there would have been no need to see those guys’ faces… ‘
Detective Branco spat on the floor, remembering the face of the military officer who was looking at them with scornful eyes.
Because the military and police always treated each other with aloof respect, the failure of the surprise operation seemed even more humiliating.
‘… It will definitely end here.’
Detective Branco’s cool eyes looked towards the square through the rain.
Everyone uses camouflage to hide their appearance, but if it weren’t for the rain that obstructed visibility, they would have noticed something suspicious right away.
And it was the same for Awaken.
It was a location choice that made it impossible not to spot androids with suspicious behavior gathering in the plaza.
The police even issued an evacuation order, so there wasn’t a single person in the square. If someone walks into the square, they are bound to be immediately caught by the police forces surrounding the area.
Detective Branco, who shared the earpiece he received from his subordinate with Blair, continued speaking.
“The gathering place is the center of Awaken. In the outskirts, it wouldn’t be enough to gather together without even the birds and mice knowing and make a plan… And how was he able to survive alone in a hideout where other androids were wiped out?”
“… So, are you really going to stop the operation now?”
Detective Branco clicked his tongue in response to Blair’s question and shook his head. Every time his head moved, raindrops bounced off Blair’s face.
The operation was already out of his hands. Detective Branco reported the information obtained through Blair to his superiors, and after investigating Awaken’s hideout, the superiors judged the information to be highly credible and planned and carried out this operation.
Perhaps because the operation to surprise Awaken’s hideout had unexpected results, the higher-ups were extremely wary of Awaken.
This meant that it was not a stage where Detective Branco could stop just because he said he had lost his senses.
If not now, the remnants of Awaken would no longer gather in one place, and the scattered groups might engage in guerrilla warfare. Detective Branco also knew full well that, assuming the information was true, this was the last chance to completely eliminate the group of crazy androids.
In the end, Detective Branco also said these words in hopes that the operation would be successful.
“If Awaken shows up, go into the car and hide. If I see you sticking your head out even just a little, I will finish the job and arrest you for obstruction of official duties.”
“Detective Branco, if it’s an order, you have to follow it.”
“… It would be nice to be this obedient when reporting on a daily basis.”
Detective Branco snorted as he looked at Blair, who was trying to just smile.
At that time, I heard the voice of a police officer monitoring the surroundings through the earpiece I was wearing.
-A Geodong Prize winner was found at the northeast entrance! It appeared out of nowhere!
“That… ?”
Detective Blair and Branco’s eyes simultaneously turned to the square.
I don’t know where it came from, but as the radio said, a shadow of a person was seen walking into the square through the northeastern entrance.
He looked quite shabby wearing a shabby piece of cloth.
“What on earth did the surveillance team do? There was nothing said until he suddenly appeared in the square. by the way… Did you come alone?”
All residents living nearby had left. That meant that the figure that suddenly appeared over there was the remnant of Awaken.
The guy who entered the square took off the piece of cloth he was wearing.
Then, a man was revealed holding an oriental-style long sword in his right hand and a pistol of a model he had never seen before in his left hand.
A man covered his face with a hood and a mask, and an urgent radio call came through the earpiece of the witness.
-Wait a minute, that weapon… It’s a Destroyer!
“What? What does that mean now?”
-disrespect… Cheesy…
“Hey! Hey!”
Detective Branco put his hands to his ears and shouted, but no sound came back from the static earpiece.
Blair took a quick glance to see that she would now have to wait in the car as Detective Branco had said.
As she ducked into the car, Branco’s earpiece heard the radio again.
-It looks like a Destroyer has appeared. From now on, I will be in charge of the scene.
“This voice… ”
Detective Branco’s eyebrows twitched as he realized who the person on the other end of the radio was.
It was clearly a military officer who gave him a mocking look.
Regardless of whether Detective Branco made an uncomfortable face or not, the military officer through the earpiece continued what he was saying.
-There is no point in waiting for other remnants anymore. We have to catch that guy first. Rather, we should act now to prevent them from collaborating with other androids. Police forces will guard the scene and if the Destroyer shows any abnormal behavior, wait until the military arrives.
“What on earth… ”
Detective Branco didn’t know.
The biggest reason for the failure of the secret raid was the male android standing in the square. There was no way the higher-ups could have known that because of its danger, they had given it the name Destroyer and had decided to entrust the military with a response as soon as it was discovered.
Whooo
He just saw a military armored vehicle passing by him and had an intuition that something unusual was about to happen.
***
Shootaaa——
‘Even if you become a superman, being wet is not a good thing.’
I thought as I took off my worn-out poncho raincoat.
The hood and mask were already soaked before I took off the raincoat.
If I had this ability at a time like this, I would have been able to evaporate the moisture in an instant and dry my body. Because I registered it as baggage, I feel inconvenienced in these minor details.
-EMP weapons are not visible to the police forces surrounding the area.
“If it were me, I would have just dropped a big EMP bomb.”
-… That’s something special about the owner. They say you usually can’t do that.
It was just as Maria said. Perhaps because it was a central area, no EMP weapons were visible. It seemed like they were concerned about civilian damage.
Still, just in case, we decided to operate Cheongung Bulbyukgong on a regular basis. Because its original purpose was not to defend against EMP, but to protect my body.
He used a high-speed accident and looked around at the police force surrounding him.
I don’t know what material they were made of, but they were hiding their appearance using something like a camouflage film that makes the covered object translucent.
It was raining so heavily that if I were an ordinary person who couldn’t use energy, I would never have noticed that the square was under siege.
‘Of course, there are other ways now.’
“Maria. Start combat assistance.”
-Yes, master.
Jiiingㅡ
As soon as I heard Maria’s answer, the rain that was blocking my view and the sound of the rain that was disturbing my ears disappeared.
And in that clear view, a group of groups approaching this place were spotted.
Maria’s nanobot, which was synchronized with my nervous system, identified only certain signals and erased them, while compensating for any shortcomings.
Since this was my first time using it in real life, it was more effective than I expected.
“… Is the performance okay?”
-The master blew up half of it, so it couldn’t show its full power. Nanobots are not a funny technology at all!
Maria answered in a voice that made you imagine her nose rising.
She’s been duplicating nanobots for the past two days. She was so engrossed in it that she, who cherished Awaken, didn’t even pay much attention when she gathered the remaining Awaken members at a gathering point outside Elysion.
‘Thanks to you, I was able to test this in real life.’
“Good. If you see them approaching from the other side, the battle will soon begin. Get ready.”
-all right.
Weeeing ㅡ
-Operation of shooting assistance, enemy identification, and automatic firing system.
As soon as I heard Maria’s voice, which felt somewhat dry, a solid red line began to appear in my now clear vision.
A red line is drawn to emphasize the border of the troops approaching me, as if using a nuclear weapon in a game.
I lifted the pistol-type psychic weapon that I had not used in a long time with my left hand.
Then, he swung his arm from right to left as if swinging a sword so that the red-rimmed enemies entered his path.
