Chapter 277 (2/2)

“If it stops, does that mean we can never go into the mission world again?”

“We can leave a few permanent gates. Of course we would no longer be involved, so Lifers would have to support it on their own.”

Cha Jun Sung thought about missions without interference from Life Mission. That is when all elements of the game would be gone and it would become total reality.

“If you open permanent gates, can mutants come to reality as well?”

“Yes. You all will have to block it or something. It isn’t a decided matter. We need to hold a meeting about it. Anyway, a notice will come up soon. The time has come to get away from the experiment and to face reality. Ah! It’s our problem. It has nothing to do with you all.”

“The real reality…”

“I guess we need to tell you? You do have the right to know. Follow me.”

They are currently talking in a small space in Jigneon’s laboratory.

Cha Jun Sung followed him without saying anything.

***

It is boisterous.

People dressed smartly look at Jigneon and Cha Jun Sung. More accurately, they are looking at Cha Jun Sung.

Cha Jun Sung felt them looking at him, and looked over the place that Jigneon had brought him to. Thousands of holograms filling up the space.

Lifers battling mutants inside the holograms, those watching all of this, and Life Mission officials. It is a new world.

“This is the Situation Room. There are a few dozen other places as well. This is how we have an idea of Lifers’ every move.”

He gained information on time through the battle videos here.

Cha Jun Sung remained silent.

A few officials recognized him, but they did not acknowledge it and focused solely on understanding what Jigneon was saying.

“We’re short on level B battlesuits! Hurry up and make them!”

“It’s the same for level A, too!”

“Speed up the weapon supply!”

“Speed it up!”

Shouts bursting from here and there.

The next place that Jigneon took him to was a workshop larger than dozens of ordinary stadiums combined.

It was a system that not even 21st century contemporary human, Cha Jun Sung, could understand with its all too complicated configuration and mechanical equipment.

“This is where tens of thousands of people labor to create Lifer gear. I’m sure you knew that we didn’t just make those things with the flick of a hand?”

He had thought that they made them easily.

It is a science that opens dimensions and tweaks time.

Cha Jun Sung went blank for a moment. This is more surprising than the Situation Room.

Things that Jigneon showed him like the holograms were different only in scale, but he had guessed how they were being surveilled.

Woong!

Jigneon opened the gate.

In outer space, they are inside a giant ship that is as big as 20% of Korea. It was too large to move on foot.

“The third is a place where you’ll frown as much as it is where the full-scale studies are done. You might not want to see it, but you’ll have to see an unwelcome face too.”

“An unwelcome face?”

“Each of the supervisors are in charge of the Situation Room, Workshop, and Genetic Institute. We have the authority to engage anywhere, but there’s a difference in size. Once you see the Genetic Institute, you’ve basically seen all of Life Mission. When that happens, I’ll tell you why this was made.”

Cha Jun Sung could guess who was in charge of the Genetic Institute.

If it isn’t Gabenu, it’s Borteth.

All he had with Gabenu had been a clash of pride. Their relationship isn’t so bad that he would rage.

Zing!

Jigneon goes through the gate.

Cha Jun Sung followed him in. When his vision changed, an unwelcome face and a scene that really did make him frown, were waiting for him.
