-Brother!
Jung Soo-jin, who was watching the situation through the hologram, raised her voice in surprise.
He was surprised to see more people than expected in the place where he opened the door.
As mentioned, the targets captured by drone cameras were mostly guards positioned on the perimeter of buildings, either inside the building with windows visible or in semi-open spaces.
Although drone cameras can scan through fog and darkness, it is difficult to detect people deep inside a building, such as a building.
Maria did say that she could add that feature if she wanted.
But I rejected it because it was an element that could be covered sufficiently with the feeling.
You could call it a kind of selection and focus.
No matter how much of a future technology it is, if a camera that has to fly in the air has too many functions, it will compromise on other areas such as battery performance, weight, and noise.
However, since there may be a case in the future where Janie or Maria need to use a drone camera, it might be a good idea to modify it to some extent considering that time.
Crash-
Anyway, information inside the building could have been extracted by hacking the surveillance cameras, but due to the nature of the pseudo-religion, which does not leave behind any evidence for the sake of tight security, there were many areas without surveillance cameras.
The auditorium I opened the door to and entered was one of those places.
A lecture hall surrounded by thick walls and no surveillance cameras. The absence of such devices here means that they must be performing some kind of perverted religious ritual, worshipping the devil, or doing something troubling.
Because it meant that they would not leave behind any video footage, even though there was no possibility of it being released to the public.
Therefore, according to Jeong Su-jin’s logic, it would have been common sense to be more careful when entering a place like this than when dealing with the guards.
-Why are you opening the door like that when you went in quietly…!
Exposing myself like this carelessly is just increasing my risk.
Perhaps the hologram she was looking at was a horror movie scene with a dozen mannequins staring at me.
But the fact that they were surprised by something like this was proof that Jeong Su-jin and the others still couldn’t accurately gauge the power I possessed.
Even though he knew he had superpowers and saw with his own eyes how he dealt with the soldiers when he saved Terence, he made a big fuss about being caught by a mere twenty or so civilians. Was it because the fact that he dealt with the officers with a key was so unrealistic that it didn’t really hit home?
Maria and Janie seem to want to involve me in the process of organizing this camp so that I can understand them better, so I need to show them that this is okay.
Since there are no eyes to see, it is a little more flashy than before.
‘Of course, even if the enemy looks like a mannequin, it’s a bit cruel to burn a person alive or cut him in half, so I’ll just do it with my physical ability.’
It was well known through media such as movies how such superhuman abilities could be utilized in spectacular ways.
“Intruder!”
After a few seconds of silence, the guard made eye contact and pulled out his gun.
The guards guarding the camp were armed with pistols, not rifles, unlike the guards we had encountered in the Virgin Islands before. The ones guarding the core areas might have rifles or shotguns, though.
Boom!
As if I was teleporting, I kicked off the ground and approached him in an instant, grabbed the pistol and crushed it.
Metal, plastic, and the guard’s hand all rolled into one useless lump.
“Eww!”
And then, as the security guard screamed, everyone in the auditorium rushed towards me.
“It’s Satan!”
“How dare you step into our community!”
“Kill him!”
The way he ran towards them with his eyes reddened was so threatening that the believers felt it more than the guards. Of course, this does not mean that he was truly threatening, but rather that it was relatively so.
‘For now, I think we can assume that all of the guys here are genuine fakes.’
I was planning on taking care of any casualties, but if the outermost building was like this, I was curious to see what kind of people were in the buildings further inside.
I quickly lifted the guard’s body and threw it at the rushing cultists.
The guard, who flew quickly as if he had been thrown into a cannon and fired, rather than flying slowly as you would normally see in a wrestling match, collided violently with five or six of the fanatics.
Naturally, the guard who had become a human cannon died instantly, and the fanatics who had been hit with a straight shot suffered a similar fate.
But was it impossible to suppress their madness to that extent?
Even though I saw people flying through the air, the cultists rushed at me like drooling fighting dogs.
‘What kind of Vikings are you? Is there a doctrine here that if you fight enemies and die you go to heaven?’
It was an absurd sight, but considering how many bizarre doctrines there are in cults, it was also funny how it was quite possible.
Bang! Ta-da!
The other guard, still alive, was slowly moving behind them, shooting his gun.
I moved my hand to predict where and when the bullet would fly by looking at the red diagonal line displayed in my field of vision.
A voice that sounded like it was hard to believe was heard from Jeong Su-jin, who witnessed the scene.
-… Did you catch the bullet just now?
I released the hand I had been holding and dropped the bullet I had been holding.
‘I told you, don’t worry.’
Contrary to what Jeong Su-jin and the others still believe, my abilities were not limited to being good at fighting, being strong, and possessing magical items that could transcend space.
A true superhuman, just like in the movies.
At this point, it was impossible for any gun or knife in the real world to harm me.
People don’t easily accept phenomena that go beyond their common sense just because they’ve seen them once or twice. But I’m sure they’ll get the hang of it by the time we finish clearing up the camp today.
I flicked the last bullet left in my hand with my stop.
Ting!
“Ugh… !”
A fanatic is left to crumble after being pierced through the forehead with a lead bullet.
The rest of the fanatics, who didn’t care whether their brothers in the same faith died or not, pushed their way in and physically attacked me.
As if I had entered hell, hands stretched out from all sides, strangling my neck and pounding my entire body.
A situation that most people would never be able to overcome.
But every time I waved my arm lightly, as if I was swatting away a mosquito that had clung to my body, one fanatic would disappear from my sight.
WHEEK!
puck!
The guard who was shooting his gun was knocked down by a believer who had come flying towards him. Judging by the way they were lying down, hugging each other, it seemed like they had gone to meet the god they believed in.
The rest of the fanatics, neither carrying guns nor swords, could not last even a minute and all disappeared like moths to a flame.
The auditorium, which had been filled with their screams, has now become quiet.
I thought about how the scene would appear in the hologram that the group on the Manta Ray would see.
Perhaps the scene where I was playing with a mannequin like a toy was played out.
I answered Jeong Su-jin’s question, which I had not responded to because I was busy dealing with the fanatics.
‘If you want to get rid of those among the believers who actively cooperate with the cult, it would be better to reveal yourself.’
-… … .
She was so surprised that she couldn’t continue speaking.
Well, I guess he’ll come to his senses as the operation progresses.
I left the now quiet building and headed to another building. I repeated the same process I had done the first time: quietly killing the guards, infiltrating, and clearing out the believers.
When there were only two buildings left, another radio call came in from Jeong Su-jin.
-… It seems like all the remaining people have gathered in the building in the center.
‘Really? Looks like they’re starting to notice it too.’
Once I entered the building, I didn’t really move around stealthily. In fact, their reaction was a bit slower than I expected.
If you hear gunshots and contact is lost one by one, it would be easy to tell that something unusual is going on. However, since they can’t figure out exactly what’s going on, they would have gathered together in the remaining areas.
As the group regained consciousness and began to control the drone camera again, information about the remaining buildings came in.
Beyond the darkness, armed guards could be seen guarding the building like a fortress.
Talik Benton, the boss and cult leader of Apophis, might think he’s prepared.
I don’t know what the intention was behind their construction, but the buildings here were constructed in a way that made it easy to defend against external attacks.
But, having them all gathered in one place like that was exactly what I was hoping for.
I don’t know exactly what’s going on, so I’m guarding it like that.
If I had come in from outside, I would probably have had to hunt down the scattered guys by now.
That’s not bad, but it’s true that it’s more fun to be crushed head-on by the one resisting like this.
‘But isn’t the look in their eyes a bit strange?’
The eyes of the believers, including the guards who were concentrating on the internal energy, were a bit peculiar.
His eyes were strangely wide open, his pupils were large, and his breathing was ragged.
It seemed like everyone was on drugs or something.
Is this to deal with an unusual intruder? Or is it to stall for time by holding out until the military or local police, who have connections, arrive?
Or maybe they just ran away from a drug party inside.
There must be something understandable about the behavior of these cult members.
Anyway, the fact that I was on drugs didn’t really matter. What mattered was that I would soon be facing the boss of Apophis.
‘What should I do, Soojin?’
Before rushing towards the guys, he asked Jeong Su-jin. The answer was already set, but he did it to clear her mind. After all, he was the mastermind who kidnapped her father and scattered her family.
-… Make sure I never do something like this again.
‘Okay. Leave it to me.’
