Chapter 258 (1/2)
Connection between dimensions.
It is an advanced science that is unimaginable in Cha Jun Sung’s world. It is transcendent.
Cha Jun Sung is meeting Jigneon in a place that doesn’t exist in the world. It isn’t the world they live in or the world where the missions take place.
They could say that it is earth and just the dimensions are different. He found out recently, but this place is a world outside this world of the three worlds, meaning they are out in the universe.
Jigneon gave Cha Jun Sung a lot of information. Where they are and how the world turns out hundreds of years in the future – it was like listening to history.
But he didn’t give any direct information regarding Life Mission.
With the bits of information however, he was able to get a worldview with the source of the processes and results.
Ordinary Lifers have a repeated pattern of killing mutants for points and buying gear, but Cha Jun Sung is different.
‘What is the true goal.’
It is the one question that he can’t resolve even after 10 years.
Even Cha Jun Sung who knows a lot of information, could not guess it.
He knows that the first and second worlds are locations for experimenting. They cultivate and match them up in fights to show which is stronger.
If they show it?
After that?
They must be trying to prove it because there is somewhere to use it.
He can’t tell whether they are in pursuit of extreme machines with science or something to create biologically transcendent humans.
The most mysterious thing is that they are trying to create combat weapons.
It is obvious why they want experiments like this.
This is now the only thing that Cha Jun Sung is curious about Life Mission.
One more thing could be Life Mission’s end.
There’s nowhere to go once level S missions are complete. The experiment is over.
Will everything go back to normal once it’s over?
Too much has occurred for that to happen.
The people who died? The newcomers? The equipment spread out everywhere?
Woong!
Cha Jun Sung’s thoughts are shattered.
Jigneon comes out of a gate that appeared with the resonating sound. It isn’t a hologram. It is him in person.
Cha Jun Sung only nodded while in a seated position. Jigneon responded similarly. They do not have a relationship to exchange formalities.
“Why did you call me?”
“I had some business.”
Jigneon responded indifferently to his blunt tone.
“What business is it?”
“Take a look at this.”
Zing!
When Jigneon moved his hand, a hologram formed and split into hundreds. It has a photographic technique similar to that of the Universe Eye.
They were watching active Lifers in it. It was like watching a sci-fi movie.
Cha Jun Sung watched the hologram without speaking. Lifers killing mutants and Lifers being killed by mutants. That is the reality.
Though his human emotions had been lessened after becoming a mutant, it isn’t a pleasant scene for him to watch. He is incredibly uncomfortable.
“What is it? Are you reminding me that Lifers are experimental specimen?”
“I won’t deny what we’ve done, but we didn’t have evil intentions like that. I have a different reason for showing you this. Look. You can see it, right?”
Life Mission’s wide range satellite is incomparable to the Universe Eye and Lifers can’t avoid it unless they are making a great effort to hide from it.
On top of that, if they buy a battlesuit from level C advancement, devices to watch Lifers like location tracking are attached.
“Yes.”
“This is normal. But the thing is… there’s something that isn’t.”
Woong!
The hologram channel changes.
This time, it doesn’t divide. It only shows one. The strange thing is that the screen doesn’t show up clearly.
“Is it broken?”
“It’d be weird for a technology that transcends dimensions to have errors, but it would be better if it was broken since we could just fix it.”
“Then?”
“To borrow the terms you people use, it is like a bug.”
Cha Jun Sung had a blank expression.
A bug in a satellite? But why is he showing him this? Is Jigneon’s business related to that?”
“It isn’t a problem with the satellite.”
“Just come out with it. I hate when things are dragged out.”
“Something is disturbing missions. It seems like a Lifer, but we can’t control him because he isn’t registered in Life Mission.”
There is a block in the satellite view when they try to watch the unidentified Lifer. It isn’t able to function because of a type of radio interference.
Several videos saved in the hologram are played back sequentially.
This time, it is clear with HD quality. It isn’t hazy.
“Look around carefully. This is a reproduction of the situation at that time. It won’t be a 100% match, but it can be a reference.”
It boldly took out small things. It was only filled with the big factors.
“He’s a swordsman.”
“Yes. He uses a sword like you do. Most of the battle trail has been erased, but we successfully reproduced it because weak parts were left.”
A sword was the main weapon of the Lifer in the video.
