Chapter 13
After explaining the general flow of upcoming events to his younger sister at the cafe, the next place Myung-jun visited was the university he had attended before enlisting in the military. The next piece needed to complete Myung-jun’s plan was at that university. Inside the taxi on the way to the university, the Time Keeper, who had been dormant in Myung-jun’s right palm, woke up and asked,
‘Yes.’
‘Han Soo-Jeong.’
‘Couldn’t you read my memories? Yet you don’t know Han Soo-jeong?’
‘Have you read any memories about CTI?’
‘She’s the founder and key technician of that company, my senior from university. The company name not only signifies technology related to crystals but also refers to her name. If GCL (Gate Counter Lab) specialized in processing Monster materials, Soo-Jeong ‘s CTI was the pinnacle in crystal utilization. The skill panel device that displays an Awakener ability for others to see. A crystal spectrum analyser that discerns if a crystal is ordinary or a special one capable of awakening. A gasoline converter that turns water into eco-friendly fuel using crystals. The Infuse Limit, which explosively accelerates biological growth within a certain radius using crystal energy. The Regenerator, which can instantly heal someone on the brink of death. And the Power Armor, which allows even non-awakened individuals to face high-level Monsters if they have enough crystal energy. Equipment made by CTI, though imperfect in some parts, was powerful and helpful for human survival.’
‘The devices Soo-jeong made were technically impeccable, but some were impossible to realize with modern technology or physics. For instance, the early version of the Power Armor was fuelled by high-grade crystals but had terrible efficiency. Even using an 8th-grade crystal, it couldn’t operate for more than 50 seconds. Furthermore, finding and defeating a gate boss within 50 seconds was impossible due to its slow movement. It successfully defended against powerful attacks from Rank 8 Monster and protected the wearer, but it became heavier and bulkier in exchange for increased defense. Thus, CTI decided...’
‘Exactly. I was the only one on Earth capable of producing a material that was lighter than titanium and had the desired physical properties sought by CTI. So, in a sense, while Soo-jeong was my rival, she was also my biggest client.’
‘No, it’s not like that.’
‘Soo-Jeong wasn’t an awakened individual.’
Hearing Time Keeper’s shocked cry, Myung-jun opened the taxi door. Staring at the main entrance of the university he used to attend, he muttered to himself,
‘Unlike me, who’s nothing without abilities, Soo-jeong was a genuine genius in her own right.’
“WHYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!”
-KAKAKAKAKAKAKAKAKANG!!! –
-TUTUTUTUTUTUTUTUTU!!! –
It wasn’t that this building lacked noise insulation. The noise was just so loud it pierced even the thick barrier walls. Amidst this deafening noise, Myung-jun painfully covered his ears and tried to locate Soo-jeong through the dense smoke.
“Why are there so many ventilation systems but the smoke isn’t clearing?! Senior Soo-jeong! Are you here?!”
His shout disappeared as if it was noise-cancelled, drowned out by the overwhelming noise. Moreover, even without the smoke, the vast space was filled with indescribable mechanical junk, making it hard to see.
Unable to get a clear view, Myung-jun relied on his memory to locate the door and started feeling his way towards the wall. Then, he found a power strip with numerous plugs and yanked it out.
-WHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING!!!!-
Suddenly, the loud sounds of the metalworking equipment started fading, and a sharp voice echoed from behind the machinery.
“Hey! Who keeps unplugging my stuff?!”
Soon after, there was the sound of someone rummaging and a pile of metal collapsing. Along with it came some choice swear words. While Myung-jun feared she might have gotten buried while looking for a new plug, he patiently waited.
A moment later, amidst the dense smoke, a figure emerged.
“You look like a killer from a horror movie.”
The appearance of Soo-jeong was just as the Junior had described. A thick welding mask covered her entire small face. She wore a white gown, now so dirty it looked like a rag, and thick jeans more blackened by welding sparks than their original blue colour. All this made her look like a serial killer from a horror film.
She held a huge plug in one hand and an unidentifiable metal lump in the other.
“Huh? Who are you?”
She paused for a moment, seemingly processing the situation, then alternately looked at Myung-jun and the plug next to him.
“YOU?!?!”
“Wait a moment. There’s a reason...”
“Hey! Who are you to unplug my stuff? You want to die here?!”
“Wait, senior!”
Instead of a reply, what flew towards Myung-jun was the unknown metal lump she had been holding. And if it hit him right, it looked hefty enough to turn a person into a mere slab of meat.
