Drug-Eating Genius Mage – 542



The Genius Wizard Who Takes Medicine Episode 542

Closed area (4)

Farden McQueen. The first president of the cartel.

He was the one who tried to betray the cartel by joining hands with an organization called Ten Counts and when his plan was discovered he and Lennok had to decide whether it was real or not.

An apostate monk killed by Lennok and a member of the president’s group who became the first opponent of the Magnetic Realm.

This is a man who understands the meaning of the realm of the kaleidoscope and ultimately becomes a pile of ashes without being able to acknowledge its direction.

A person who has no good memories of all the moments we have known.

However even when Lennok faced McQueen he felt much stronger curiosity and interest than murderous intent or shock.

‘You don’t recognize me. ‘Why?’

Why is Farden McQueen who was killed by Lennok alive and well inside this closed area?

He spoke calmly as if he didn’t remember Lennok and even when he looked at his face he seemed to have an ambiguous expression.

A very complex face as if he couldn’t remember everything that had happened before.

McQueen walked right in front of Lennok who was standing still and stared at his face for a long time.

“No matter how you look at it it doesn’t look like you are part of the team that was summoned for this operation…”

“I haven’t really heard anything about the operation yet.”

Lennok answered with an expressionless face.

“I got lost on the way to the power plant. “I would like you to tell me exactly where this is.”

“…A Balkan superhuman knows where the particle acceleration power plant in the Ramahal area is?”

“….”

Lennok glanced away as he saw McQueen’s expression gradually narrowing with suspicion.

Contrary to his somewhat slow response Lennok’s head was spinning at an insane speed.

‘Ramahal district. ‘I know how it feels.’

It is said that before all districts in the megacity were reorganized into numbers each district had its own name.

The Ramahal area mentioned by McQueen probably refers to the place name of District 25 which was designated as a closed area before it was reorganized to its current state.

If we take an assumption from that fact and work backwards we can infer more facts from McQueen’s appearance.

Sandals from a brand that has now been discontinued and is no longer produced.

Fewer tattoos and fewer wrinkles than Lenno remembered.

Unlike the time when he was just about to die the atmosphere was somewhat detached.

Finally even when he sees Lennok’s face he treats him like he’s seeing him for the first time.

‘I see. No way I did.’

Considering what is happening in this enclosed area there is only one correct answer.

Farden McQueen who is now standing before Lennok’s eyes is not a fake or an illusion.

Or they were not even dead people who had forgotten their memories or were resurrected in an unknown form.

At this very moment I am just facing Farden McQueen from decades before I even met Lennok.

The scenery of the power plant left behind decades ago through the gap in space and time that occurred in the closed area.

It was not just ordinary objects or scenery that were preserved there.

People gathered at this power plant at the time of the incident that led to Area 25 being designated as a closed area and quarantined.

The memories of their power and existence were also preserved intact in the closed area.

As a strong person who completed the hierarchy decades ago and rose to level 7 there is little change in his appearance.

At this point he was the person he was at the time when he had never even met Lennok in the first place let alone remembering him.

‘Survivor of a closed area. Food relief ship. Inconsistent details and secrets… Was it all because of this?’

The failure of the Black Consumer Project. The deepest darkest secrets of the Balkans.

I’ve always thought about the extent of it but I never thought it would be in such a blatant and deadly form.

Causes of radiation exposure phenomenon. The inside story of space-time research. Even the enormous cause and effect that encompasses all mysteries.

Was this situation itself someone’s intention?

“…The streets of this area are currently controlled by superhumans who participated in this operation.”

McQueen said looking suspiciously at Lennok who couldn’t get out of his thoughts easily.

“It has been more than three days since all civilians and those not related to this incident were evacuated.”

“….”

“It’s not a place where an ordinary person can get lost and come in. “I think you need something to prove your identity.”

“good night. “It’s not difficult.”

Lennok nodded obediently.

McQueen’s eyebrows twitched at that unhesitating answer.

“Hoo… Then would you like to take it out?”

The atmosphere slowly heats up in desolate silence.

A sharp force comes from all directions as if they will collide at any moment by raising their magical power.

At the same time that Lennok put his hand in his arms McQueen took a step back clutching the law.

“There you are.”

A pure white business card was held between gloved fingers.

Without using any magical power he slowly handed it to McQueen.

“Now wait a minute…!!”

McQueen accepted the business card with an expressionless face and widened his eyes when he saw someone’s signature written at the bottom.

“How could you have a business card with his signature…!!!”

A business card that was directly handed to me by Oliveira when I took office as an external advisor to the cartel.

Lennok personally showed Farden McQueen a business card with her signature on it.

“I came after receiving direct orders from Oliveira Ron Maze.”

Your gaze should not waver.

It was as if it had been decided from the beginning to meet McQueen himself and tell him this.

Lennok stared at McQueen with hollow eyes and spoke slowly.

“As an external advisor to the headquarters we plan to conduct a major overhaul and reorganization of the chain of command for this operation.”

“External torture um…!!”

“First of all I would like you to guide me to the facilities near the power plant. “Are you okay?”

McQueen who had just betrayed Oliveira decades ago was a loyalist and right-hand man of the cartel who served the chairman with all his heart.

At a time like this if you ask for directions to the power plant while holding a business card directly signed by Oliveira you won’t be able to refuse.

Lennok was planning to take advantage of McQueen’s mentality and receive his help to provide comfortable guidance to the facilities and terrain on all sides of the power plant.

As if Lennok’s prediction was wrong McQueen seemed to lose his composure to some extent as soon as he saw the business card with Oliveira’s signature.

“It is clear that the business card design and company name are from the headquarters that have not been officially announced yet…!!”

“This could be solid proof that I am an insider.”

At this time the company name Kartel had not yet been officially launched.

Quickly follow McQueen’s words and match the setting and background to the acting.

“Even if we don’t there is something we need to talk about with the executives at headquarters.”

“…I’m going to trust you and guide you to the power plant with just this business card?”

“If you don’t believe it you don’t have to believe it.”

Lennok answered calmly.

“However I presented evidence to prove my identity as they wanted.”

“….”

“If you know Oliveira’s personality you would also know that she does not hastily hand over signatures like this to others.”

“What are you going to do if I don’t guide you?”

Lennok was not embarrassed by McQueen’s sharp questions.

“In that case we will have to find a way to get inside the power plant facility. “Because what needs to be done doesn’t disappear.”

“….”

Could Lennok’s loose response which seemed to have no interest in McQueen at all be an opportunity for judgment?

McQueen must have had a hard time making a decision due to the wizard’s words and actions showing no signs of war or hostility so he slowly returned the business card he was holding to Lennok.

Lennok grinned after receiving the business card back.

“Thank you for trusting me.”

Of course the reason Lennox does not feel any hostility or murderous intent toward McQueen is not because he is now thinking of becoming allies with McQueen.

However it was because he was confident that he would never be defeated by an opponent he had tried to kill under any conditions and circumstances.

Moreover wasn’t McQueen from decades ago not even aware of his own desires and unable to properly handle the area of ​​self-reflection?

It is rather strange to feel that McQueen of the past who was poor in skill force and judgment is an enemy more than when Lennok single-handedly killed him.

That response which was close to indifference actually instilled in McQueen a faint sense of confidence that Lennok was not his enemy.

“I’m not showing you to the power plant because I trust you or can trust you.”

McQueen turned his back and said coldly.

“Anyway in order to verify the evidence presented we have no choice but to take them directly to the power plant so all we can do is join them.”

“…what?”

Verification. There would be only one way to judge the truth of the lie Lennok told here.

The moment when Lennok immediately questioned McQueen’s words as an ominous premonition rose in the corner of his mind.

McQueen who had completely taken his eyes off Lennok began to walk.

“The Chairman is living inside the power plant. “If I take you with me I’ll be able to quickly check if that’s true anyway.”

“….”

At that moment Lennok realized that the lies he had been telling to deceive McQueen had all but disappeared in an instant.

There is no doubt that the current McQueen recognizes and refers to her correctly.

Decades ago Oliveira also participated in an operation near the power plant and remained isolated in this closed area.

If you go into the power plant like this and encounter Oliveira from the past you will almost certainly be discovered.

But it’s just a temporary trick. There are many ways.

Lennok’s eyes sank quietly as he looked at McQueen’s back.

‘Should I kill him?’

This is a person who has already died by Lennok’s hands once. Would it make any difference if I killed him once more now?

From the moment you start using your hands you can’t help but be at odds with other living beings from the past in this area.

However if the lie you made up to deceive McQueen is discovered you will likely end up with a similar ending.

In that case it would be more reasonable to deal with McQueen cleanly here and find the power plant alone.

In the process it wouldn’t be a bad idea to explain to other team members what’s going on in this closed area.

Making the decision wasn’t difficult.

‘Disbanded all at once from behind without resistance.’

He quietly takes out the twisted dagger that Soryu had given him as a gift from his arms.

A magic weapon customized to stab with magic including curses between the twists of the blade.

By secretly manipulating magical power he gives magic that will suffocate McQueen throughout the twisted blade.

In order to leave no room for resistance through magic the [Liberation Art] and [Judo Gate] that he used in the future were calculated backwards and developed backwards.

The moment McQueen resists it will fit together like a key and dismantle piece by piece from the root of the magical power.

“It just worked out. “Oliviera what are you doing now?”

Naturally responding to McQueen’s words he raises the dagger into the air.

“I don’t know. “I’ve been busy with external maintenance of the power plant and updating the security system for a while…”

“It’s much easier for me to meet you in person and talk to you. “Please take the fastest route to the power plant.”

“Even so it is not up to our will for him to meet you.”

While they were talking a twisted dagger suddenly got closer as if it was grazing the hem of McQueen’s coat.

This side has an overwhelming advantage in magic manipulation deployment speed sensitivity and reaction index.

If you carefully target the psychological loophole between conversations with McQueen you can instantly kill him before he can even raise his power.

A fleeting moment when the mouth vocal cords and heart open and vibrate at the same time the blood flow slightly accelerates and the sensory sphere becomes faintly disturbed.

The blade is pushed into a natural gap that even Lennok himself is not aware of.

The moment when the twisted blade penetrates between McQueen’s magic defense and breathing penetrates his vital area and stops all abilities necessary for vital activities.

“Aren’t you concentrating on researching and experimenting with Kaise all day long?”

“…!!!”

Lennok’s mind which had been lost in the stream of consciousness returns to reality at an incredible speed.

At the same time without McQueen noticing he stopped the dagger that was being fired with all his might in the air.

At that moment the blade of the dagger which had come close to digging into the carotid artery at the back of McQueen’s neck was unable to overcome the momentum and was slightly pushed away.

As the apostate monk takes a step forward he passes by just in the nick of time without touching.

Lennok immediately stretched out his hand snatched up the dagger that was stopped in the air and put it back in his arms.

“…?”

McQueen too seemed to feel uncomfortable at the sudden movement and turned his head to glare at Lennok.

“…Why are you doing this all of a sudden?”

Lennok asked leaning on his cane without breaking a sweat.

The atmosphere was so peaceful that it was hard to believe that this was the person who had just tried to kill McQueen with a single blow.

McQueen stared at Lennok’s face for a long time with a sharp gaze then slowly returned his gaze.

“No… it’s nothing.”

“Rather than that I’d like to hear more about you Chairman.”

As soon as Lennoch casually started walking next to McQueen he opened his mouth again.

“Kaisewa… what kind of research are you doing now?”

Does McQueen know that he almost faced his second death?

Ironically what saved McQueen’s life which was almost half dead was the last words he uttered in a grumbling manner.

Kaise.

Even though Lennok had heard and remembered countless times over the years

In fact the name was left a secret without being able to fully approach the truth.

The man who died with the failure of the Black Consumer Project and was eventually buried among the secrets of the project is now here.

It remains as a memory of being trapped in a closed area separated from a timeline in which death has not yet occurred.

* * *

Kurbas Dam.

The office of the first-class administrator where Keegan Grimes resides.

The room itself had been converted into a huge conference room and was immersed in frozen silence.

A screen transmitted through transmitters attached to the equipment of four team members.

Among them the video transmitted in real time from the class transmitter took everyone’s breath away.

The appearance of an apostate monk with bronze-colored skin and intricate tattoos all over his body.

High-ranking city government officials often have some knowledge of the clothing and appearance of the big names operating in the shadows.

What if the other person was one of the top executives of the cartel that was once part of the triumvirate?

“Are you sure?”

“Given the similarity in physique and facial features from the time it must be you.”

The attendant who quickly compared the personal data of several people responded immediately.

“Paarden McQueen the former first president of the cartel. “It is presumed that he was the one who died directly at the hands of Gorrei several years ago.”

“…Is it possible that I am seeing an illusion or hallucination?”

“It is virtually impossible for a high-ranking magician of the level of fastness… take a look.”

The attendant who said that pointed to videos being broadcast on different screens.

The transmitter attached to Innocence and Felix Illya was not even displaying the screen properly.

Through the countless noises only vague and indistinct scenes and figures are visible as they come and go.

“It is difficult to even operate the transmitter due to the influence of the barriers and legal formations on all sides of the closed area barrier.”

“….”

“At least the fact that the screen is fine now is because Goryeok himself took care of it….”

Faaah!!

As soon as he finished speaking Lennok’s broadcast screen became increasingly blurred and soon began to show only noisy shadows like the others.

Lennoc who had made up his mind to deal with McQueen naturally stopped the broadcast but to those who do not know that fact it has a completely different meaning.

“Whoa….”

Keegan took a deep breath and began to walk busily around the conference room without saying a word.

Keegan who had been lost in thought for a while slowly spoke.

“Do you understand what it means that the transmitter just turned off?”

“yes?”

“The fast was aware of the fact that the screen was being broadcast. “They were holding on to the connection in order to show Farden McQueen in person.”

“….”

Using the powerful magic manipulation ability unique to high-ranking wizards the transmission screen is forcibly maintained to confirm the reality inside the closed area.

Through him Keegan was desperately trying to guess what Lennok wanted from them.

If you want to get outside help by revealing the secrets inside the closed area… if you have any thoughts.

“I don’t want a solution.”

Keegan who had been constantly ruminating in his mind about Dore’s actions and the situation around his organization slowly raised his head.

“Rather they want to ask a question.”

“…yes?”

“Sometimes the fastest and most efficient way is to ask directly.”

Keegan didn’t answer the attendant’s question and jumped up from his seat.

“Call the cartel. “I need to establish a hotline with the presidents.”
