    The Genius Wizard Who Takes Medicine Episode 615

    Ex Machina (2)

    Pandemonium.

    I thought I might come across that name someday without having to assume another identity but I never thought I would find traces of it at this point.

    It is also a new statue of a doctor who is considered one of the most outstanding researchers and technicians in Pandemonium.

    Can we easily forget the time when the value of relics and data from the old world was measured and appropriate compensation was given?

    ‘After all he’s a doctor… It can’t be a coincidence.’

    Among the countless organizations Lennok knows the Pandemonium are the ones that most freely handle and use relics and knowledge from the Old World.

    At its core is the doctor’s ability to analyze and collect relics from the old world and put them into a usable form.

    From what Lennok knew the clown was also an excellent researcher and seemed to have knowledge comparable to that of a doctor.

    The clown’s thirst for knowledge and research ability were of a grotesque type specialized in playing with humans like toys rather than relics of the old world.

    Hence the thought circuit of a shadow agent.

    It is also difficult for Lennok to understand that the discovery of the doctor’s traces inside this place is dismissed as a coincidence.

    It would probably be correct to think that the existence and construction of this thinking circuit also borrowed from the knowledge of the old world or the power of doctors.

    ‘Originally I didn’t plan on moving today…’

    For the time being we were planning to closely investigate the background by catching the tricks creeping into this workshop but if pandemonium is involved it is a different story.

    Lennok who connected the communication device to the thought circuit calmly spoke to the shadow leader.

    “Do you know who the person who completely remodeled your body was?”

    […All Side Squad agents are sworn to keep secrets by erasing part of their memories before body modification.]

    The leader answered reluctantly.

    [We only move for the order of machines and the discipline of steel. Nothing more or less than that.]

    “You’re talking grandiosely when you say you don’t know.”

    Lennok nodded awkwardly.

    “Well okay. “If I knew anyone they wouldn’t have left important information here in the first place.”

    [….]

    “If I upload your thinking circuit to a public network it wouldn’t be surprising if your consciousness was torn apart by all kinds of dummy data. “It would be quite fun to watch that.”

    The skill of skillfully disassembling the modified body that I saw for the first time saving only the parts responsible for the accident and attaching only the mouth.

    Perhaps the leader also knew that what Lennok was saying was not a lie and the glow inside his thinking circuit wavered uneasily.

    “I will only ask you once. “Who moved you to kidnap me from this workshop?”

    It didn’t take long for the leader’s mouth to open.

    [Langmuir. The committee member ordered me to kidnap you and bring you back.]

    “….”

    Langmuir.

    Lennok realizing the meaning of the name smiled bitterly.

    The Ex Machina committee member who had allowed Lennok to participate in the selection ceremony was now the first to covet Lennok’s abilities and begin to use them.

    It’s not that I couldn’t understand the idea but I never thought they would use such extreme measures in just a few days.

    Lennok who was staring at the accident circuit stood up and asked.

    “good. “Where is Commissioner Langmuir now?”

    [A wealthy village in the central district of Machina. However it will be impossible to even enter the wealthy streets without a beta-level ticket.]

    “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

    Lennok said and took out a mechanical chip from the leader’s completely disassembled body.

    “The tickets you guys used are all over the place.”

    [What a stupid thing to say. How can another human being use a ticket customized to each individual’s biometric information…!!]

    [Update completed.]

    Snap!!

    The leader’s words coming from the speaker were cut off by the sight of Lennok casually changing the ticket attached to the artificial skin.

    After stroking the artificial skin-covered wrist a few times to check for any abnormalities Lennok asked again.

    “What is the number and size of the security forces guarding the mansion?”

    […It is difficult to explain in words because the amount of security changes and the security code changes in real time.]

    The leader answered in a desperate tone.

    [Unless you look at it directly and talk about it….]

    “good.”

    After responding like that Lennok immediately stood up.

    The moment the giant crow robot spread its wings and created a strong wind.

    Slam!!

    The ceiling of the workshop opened wide revealing the night sky.

    “Let’s leave right away.”

    * * *

    [Beta level ticket approved. Enters Colorado Earth.]

    A guidance voice rang out between the huge mechanical barriers and the steel barrier blocking hundreds of meters in the air slightly opened.

    Wow!!

    A black strange bird shape appeared between them flapping its wings. Lennok was hanging on the back of a night crow that flew up with its wings flapping violently.

    Lennok looked down at the residential area spread out on the ground dozens of meters below and raised the thought circuit.

    “Which side is Langmuir’s mansion?”

    […Before that there’s something I’d like to ask.]

    The leader asked Lennok looking thoughtful.

    [You were definitely able to make it so that I couldn’t notice any abnormalities in the communication network.]

    “….”

    [I thought I realized too late that Brett’s voice was fake but looking back even the shaking was intentional… What’s the reason?]

    The leader’s voice coming through the speaker became harsh.

    [What did you come into this city for?]

    Instead of answering Lennok looked down at the raven that was flying with them.

    “The sky in this city is relatively comfortable. “Because flight is possible with just a little bit of lift assistance without any grand techniques or techniques.”

    [….]

    “One continent. Even though we live in the same world the environments and conditions are so different. “I wouldn’t have known this fact if I hadn’t visited the Machine City in person.”

    Lennok who said that laughed while holding the microphone connected to the leader’s thought circuit.

    “I believe that experience and logic without first-hand experience and trial and error will not have much meaning in the end.”

    [What on earth is that….]

    Dismissal!!

    Lennok pulled out the microphone connected to the thinking circuit without waiting for an answer.

    Immediately after the only device that converted external voices into signals and input them into the thinking circuit disappeared.

    A grumbling sound was heard from inside the night crow that was silently flying in the sky.

    [Anyway the Master is too kind to organisms.]

    The magic power of the bright blue lightning spirit flashes from inside the monster with its raven head turned.

    The night raven that killed the shadows is not a robot that moves entirely through Lennok’s manipulation.

    A new controller made for battle to use the abilities of Dabi the thunder spirit in Machina.

    The fact that the raven appeared to leap through space and attack the shadows was ultimately a product of Lennok’s space magic.

    Lennok left full control of the night raven to Dabi and lent him the necessary magic and techniques at Dabi’s request.

    [Why are you telling such a story to organisms that will not understand even if you give them advice?]

    Dabi glanced away and spoke to Lennok.

    [If he had been able to understand those words he wouldn’t have remodeled his entire body in the first place.]

    “I’m not saying this to give you advice.”

    Lennok answered with a smile.

    “It’s part of a suggestion to persuade and remind myself.”

    [….]

    “And there is no guarantee that full body modification is the answer. The mechanical ascension of abandoning the human body must have also come to fruition somewhere.”

    As Lennok said that he glanced back at the huge mechanical barrier he had passed.

    A huge steel barrier that is difficult to guess how far it extends even though it is flying in the sky.

    Similar barriers surround the city blocking movement and movement and defining space.

    This landscape itself is evidence that the machine city of Machina once tried to define space and the world according to their own standards.

    “It’s along the same lines as imitating that human’s tone earlier. “Measuring the standard of heterogeneity in language through mechanical modulation and reproduction.”

    Lennok’s eyes shone quietly.

    “Through that we will be able to see how Jinwa’s common language works for sapient beings.”

    It wasn’t Dabi’s mistake that the shadow leader noticed that Brett’s voice was strange.

    He was imitating Brett’s voice which had infiltrated the workshop with Dabi’s brain power and was testing how much he had to modulate it to be recognized by other shadows.

    Part of the research to understand the common language of Jinwa mentioned by Hyman Kilberg the shaman of the Ghost God Palace who was astonished to see Dabi use the language.

    “It’s not a good sign to hear the name of a specific ascendant particularly often.”

    Lennok muttered holding onto the handle attached to the crow robot’s back and lowering his body.

    “Maybe we should start preparing in advance now.”

    [Hehehe if Master entrusts me with a design like this I can make it look very majestic!]

    “….”

    The shape of a night crow created by entrusting the design to Dabi.

    Thunder Spirit himself seemed to be very satisfied with the appearance of this monster he designed.

    For the sake of the extraordinary spirit Lennoch decided not to mention the fact that he appeared to be only slightly intoxicated with his own senses.

    Whoa!!

    To prevent Lennok who was riding on his back from losing his balance Dabi slowly lowered his altitude and began flying slowly over the residential area.

    Even though the black monster is flying at a low altitude close to the ground no one has noticed its appearance.

    If you use the hiding magic and stealth functions to erase your appearance and presence only the ripples that spread through the night wind will remain in the sky.

    Perhaps because it was well after midnight there were few people walking down the street.

    There were faint lights coming from a few houses and mansions that passed by every now and then.

    Lennok connected the microphone to the leader’s thinking circuit again and whispered quietly while holding a blinking crystal ball.

    “We arrived at a residential intersection. “Tell me the location of Commissioner Langmuir’s mansion.”

    * * *

    A high-rise mansion with walls surrounded by solid steel plates.

    The exterior completely blocks intrusion from the outside except for the small window that looks outside.

    In the relatively spacious garage guards guarding the mansion stand guard without even hiding their personal firearms.

    Phew…!!

    That moment when hot air blew through the faces of the security guards and some of them frowned.

    A huge figure descended from the darkness crushed the garage door like a piece of paper pushed it open and rushed inside.

    Wow!!

    Due to the impact a large number of vehicles parked in the garage were damaged and their shattered parts were scattered everywhere.

    “It’s an intruder!!”

    “You’re out of your mind. Who dares act in such a ridiculous way…!!”

    “Evacuate with the committee member!! “Right now!!”

    The security guards who had fallen from the shock screamed loudly and called others with walkie-talkies.

    Cheek Cheek…!!

    No conversation can be heard through the dead radio as if it had broken down at the same time.

    Panicked people rushed into the inner passageway to retrieve objects that had entered the garage.

    Buaaaa!!

    However several vehicles that were thought to be broken down moved alone without a driver and hit security guards in various places.

    Without any time to check for the intruder they made a mess by pounding and damaging various parts of the garage.

    “Ugh!! Why is the car alone…!!”

    “Check the automatic driving system!! “What the hell is going on?”

    “The intruder has disappeared…!! “He’s already gone inside with that size!!”

    “Check the elevator inside and the last person should run over and contact the department guarding the mansion!!”

    Kwaaaa!!

    However the guards’ efforts were in vain as a series of loud noises erupted from the ceiling above their heads.

    “Open the CCTV screen and check it out! immediately!!”

    The complexions of the security guards who hurriedly rushed to the management office and checked the video transmitted to the first floor hallway lobby turned pale.

    A pitch-black crow-shaped monster that could not be hidden even beyond the screen was flying low over the wide hallway knocking down other security guards like toys.

    The complexions of the guards turned pale as they looked at the people being beaten and crushed between their wings and claws.

    Kwaaaa!!

    The night raven controlled by Dabi flies throughout the 8-story mansion destroying and destroying it.

    The electric signal that came out every time it flapped its wings overloaded the mansion’s lights and fire hydrants causing them to turn on and burst into water.

    Shoot!!!

    A steady stream of water pours down from the ceiling of the hallway and the hallway begins to flicker and become immersed in darkness.

    Among those guarding the congressman’s mansion there were some superhumans with decent skills and soldiers armed with cutting-edge equipment.

    To avoid dealing with these people the night crow flew around the spacious mansion and flapped its wings.

    Churrrrrrrr!!

    People tried to catch the beast that entered the mansion using a barrage of bullets gunpowder and even bombs.

    The night crow repeated the elegant low-altitude flight leisurely folding and opening its wings as if such attacks had no problem.

    Hwaaaaa!!

    While my gaze was drawn to the shape of a night crow quietly stirring up the streams of water pouring from the ceiling bullets raining down and scattering magic fragments.

    No one noticed that someone got off his back and was leisurely walking towards the top floor of the mansion.

    [Pattern code input completed]

    [Level 1 visitor approval]

    [Release lock security]

    Whiing clank!!

    A customer opens the solid iron door and mechanical barrier at the same time as the guidance sound rings out in succession.

    Eventually Lennok opened the dark unlit study door with all his might and smiled when he saw the old man sitting quietly in an armchair on one side of the study.

    “You called me after a long time but I was late in answering you.”

    Lennok naturally closed the study door locked it and faced the old man’s face dimly illuminated in the moonlight outside the window.

    “The road to get there was so rough that it wasn’t easy to see his face like this.”

    Click!!

    Lennok said as he took out the shadow leader’s thought circuit from his chest and placed it on the table.

    “Since you sent a friend like this to invite me shouldn’t I also come and say hello in person?”

    The old man looked at the thought circuit that Lennok laid down and spoke slowly as if chewing it.

    “It was just as I expected to have taken out the Side Squad agents so easily and come all the way here.”

    “….”

    “I definitely gave you a chance. Nevertheless you betray the machine head and stick with the iron heart and betray us…”

    Langmuir said looking at Lennok with a sharp gaze.

    “If you did something wrong you won’t be punished kindly but how dare you crawl into my place and make fun of me?”

    Only then did Lennoc realize that the true emotion Langmuir was feeling when looking at him was anger and he nodded.

    Lennok quietly stroked his chin and muttered.

    “I think you’re misunderstanding something.”

    “what?”

    “I have no interest in the other factions of Ex Machina. “Do you think I made a mistake at the selection ceremony to betray Machine Head?”

    Lennoc slowly walked towards the wall of the study looking at Langmuir who was speechless.

    Lennok said as he looked through the titles of the various books on the shelf.

    “I’m not sure if the faction fighting in Ex Machina is worth it.”

    “…Do you think that an ordinary craftsman can play with Side Squad as well as touch relics from the old world?”

    Langmuir answered while struggling to catch his breath.

    “I didn’t trust Isabella from the beginning. Those enforcers from Steel Heart…!!”

    Only then did Lennoch get a vague idea of ​​what Langmuir was thinking.

    He wasn’t angry about Lennok not being awarded the title of Meister.

    I thought that Lennok’s failure at the selection ceremony for touching an object he was not supposed to touch was a play on his part by conspiring with Isabella.

    Therefore Langmuir attempted to forcibly secure Lennok by using force instead of having a conversation with him immediately after the selection ceremony.

    The moment the shadow agents called Side Squad were subdued without even being able to touch Lennok’s body they became convinced that Lennok was not an ordinary craftsman.

    “Commissioner. However you should not try to kill and destroy the craftsman who stepped up for your faction.”

    “I didn’t mean to kill you. “I planned to punish you commensurate with your responsibility and treat you appropriately for your abilities!!”

    “That’s none of my business.”

    “Yes you guy!!”

    In front of Langmuir who was yelling with a red face Lennoch took out a book he had been looking at.

    The history of the Machine City’s governance and council.

    The moment when Lennoc who was flipping through the pages of the book as if skimming it placed it on the chair table where Langmuir was sitting.

    He kept his mouth shut as if he was lying.

    Lennok looking at Langmuir’s eyes shaking anxiously said.

    “Even if I ask you the things I’m curious about now you probably won’t give me an honest answer.”

    “….”

    “So I’m going to try to add some grease to the committee member so that he can open his mouth.”

    Lennok said and tapped the book.

    “Out of hundreds of books this one is being sold on the market at a price that is not suitable for this library.”

    “What on earth are you talking about….”

    Of course Lennok does not go around memorizing the prices at which these books are sold in the Machine City.

    However after scanning all the titles of the books through Dabi I found a particularly noticeable difference among the features including the serial number and category.

    “Among high-end books and papers that easily cost over 200000 cells per volume this book was a free gift distributed in a cheap pamphlet. If you think about it maybe…”

    The moment when Lennok picked up the book again and turned it upside down in the place where it had been.

    Wow!!

    The middle of the bookshelf opened wide revealing a hidden secret door.

    “I think they thought that using relatively inexpensive books would be less noticeable.”

    “….”

    “Now then shall we check what the congressman has hidden here?”

    “What on earth are those stupid security guards doing?!”

    Leaving behind the outraged congressman Lennok immediately took out an old cell phone from a remote storage room behind the bookshelf.

    “You found one.”

    Instead of turning the phone on right away Lennok opened the back case and looked at the battery and parts then nodded.

    “Product from 25 years ago. A portable communication device manufactured by Taylor Workshop. However the screw parts used are not from Taylor Workshop. “It looks like it has been remodeled.”

    “What on earth are you talking about… ah!!”

    Only then did the committee member’s complexion turn pale as he realized that Lennok was using the intuition he had previously shown to uncover his secrets.
