World Federation’s headquarters.

The atmosphere is strange in the communications sector. Strategist was going over the information that raid 85 had sent through a short while ago.

There is a death toll. There isn’t anything special about dying inside missions because it is common, but a raid was instantly massacred. They hadn’t even been able to properly react.

“I’ll go.”

“Stay back.”

Strategist restrains Weapon Master.

If he goes, they’ll be certain to get information like the new mutant’s strength.

But the risk is too great. If something goes wrong and he dies, it’ll be beyond a disruption in their plan and they’ll have to worry about failing the mission.

If he goes, the three level S Lifers and all of the top level A Lifers have to go. This means all of the supporting core behind them as well.

Woong!

Strategist replayed the video that raid 85 sent on the PDA. The Lifers inside the communications sector including Weapon Master all look in one direction.

A white haired, beautiful woman moves around between 700 Lifers wearing battlesuits. She killed on impact. There is no distance.

“She doesn’t even get a scratch?”

Nuclear speaks in terror. They can say she’s strong. But 700 people together can’t hurt her. All they do is graze her.

She either avoids bombs that attack wide ranges or fired artillery, or something similar to a shell comes out and protects her main body. It looks like partial awakening.

“The installation there?”

“It’s over.”

He is referring to the Universe Eye. When they take care of enemy forces in each area, a level S Lifer puts up a Universe Eye at the location given to them. They are zoning the areas that they have passed and watching them.

“Alternatives?”

“There isn’t enough information. We’ll keep searching for now and look for trends. After that, we’ll keep an eye out for an opportunity and decide whether we’re going to take care of it or not.”

They can’t just go out blindly to catch it. They need to know more.

Strategist shared information on the unknown mutant with all of the Lifers. He told them not to engage if they run into it and to immediately board the sentinels and retreat. They are far from headquarters, but they can’t get close.

Cha Jun Sung looks up at the night sky. He feels uneasy. He had gone back to reality to get some rest, and had heard unexpected news.

[While you were gone, they went into level S mission, Ruler of Bones.]

This is what he heard from Kyoko.

While he was searching through South America in his deal with Jigneon, World Federation and Park Jin Hyuk’s group had entered a level S mission.

He had known that they would enter at some point because there was nowhere to go up at this point, but he didn’t think that they would do it so suddenly.

[Jun Sung, take care of Jin Hyuk and the others. They could all die.]

Cha Jun Sung couldn’t say anything.

For his entry disqualification to shackle him like this, it is enough to drive him crazy. He felt comforted to an extent because there are 3 level S Lifers and the supporting power is impressive, but there’s no telling the future.

The more frustrating thing is that after he got this news, Jigneon reminded him of his current situation again via his PDA.

Summarizing Jigneon’s words is simple. He basically told him not to have unnecessary thoughts. He is not to even go near the Amazon, the mission area.

Cha Jun Sung can’t focus on his mission because he is consumed by his worries about Park Jin Hyuk’s group.

He has been blank in one place for the past few days already. Even during that time, the cyborgs that Jigneon sent in support have been busy in their search. They move busily according to the way they were programmed because they are not human.

‘The Amazon…’

Cha Jun Sung keeps repeating this to himself.

He was already inside a mission. Worst case scenario, he wanted to just quit everything.

He would be completely disqualified if he goes against the laws that the supervisors made, but he couldn’t just stand by and watch something go wrong with Park Jin Hyuk’s group. The problem is that while his eyes and ears are currently obscured, he can’t know the situation over there. But all of this flowed in an unexpected direction.

***

Jigneon opened a supervisors’ meeting.

It was to talk about mysteries like Cha Jun Sung’s mutant form and the unidentified bug.

The 3 supervisors hologram watched a video full of flesh, blood, and shrieks without a care and were busy in conversation.
