    The Genius Wizard Who Takes Medicine Episode 661

    Retribution (3)

    “What…!! “Go back to the prison cell right now!!”

    Two soldiers surrounding Lennok pointed their guns and shouted in harsh voices.

    “Why is the damn communicator not working at this time…!!”

    Not only is there no contact with the outside world but the tightly closed wall has no intention of opening.

    If this happens it’s like being locked in a solitary confinement with an extremely dangerous wizard rather than being monitored by them.

    The two soldiers sweating profusely had their whole bodies full of strength as if they were going to pull the trigger on Lennok at any moment.

    “Don’t come too close…!!”

    “If you move even a little I will shoot you!!”

    “Don’t do that let’s talk for a moment.”

    Lennok handcuffed and leaning against the cold hallway wall chuckled.

    “I was bored sitting alone. “I want to go out but I don’t have anyone to tell me.”

    “Alone…? Obviously doctors were in the cell together…”

    The soldier who had said that fell silent when he saw the doctors lying behind Lennok’s back.

    “It looks like everyone was tired. “Will it not happen after some time?”

    “….”

    What kind of idiot could so easily believe that in this situation?

    The soldiers refuse to talk any more and are extremely wary of Lennok.

    Lennok tilted his head slightly as if he was troubled as he looked at the two people.

    ‘I want to refrain from using excessive magical power… but maybe I was a little hasty.’

    It is true that his condition improved more than expected thanks to the doctors’ sincere care for him in the spirit of research.

    But that didn’t mean his condition was good enough to fight.

    This is because in the process of redrawing some of the Ascendant’s images to deal with Orochnier the output limit was far exceeded.

    Since less than three days have passed since work ended I would have had to go into a rest period for more than 15 days.

    The reason I ruled that out and walked out of the prison cell was purely to look for traces of Kaise.

    ‘The only things that can be used without difficulty are Dabi’s hacking and simple common magic. I may be able to recover my condition if I recuperate a little more but…’

    Lennok who had sorted out possible means and methods in his head looked at the soldier and nodded lightly.

    ‘A gap like this will never appear again. ‘I’m going ahead with it now.’

    The lax security with only two soldiers standing guard as soon as you leave the prison cell is not a coincidence or the result of incompetence.

    A brief gap occurred because internal staffing was disrupted as Narcissa Solmer and the executioners took turns going to the prison cell.

    Originally when Lennok opened the prison cell he might have had to face dozens of soldiers at the same time.

    Therefore Lennok knew that now when his condition was not improving was the most appropriate time.

    If you need to refrain from using magic right now you have no choice but to use Lennok’s other abilities to get through the situation.

    Fortunately there were several ways that came to mind.

    “The muzzle is pretty clean. “Even though it is a military product there is almost no wear on the magazine.”

    Lennok who was carefully examining the soldiers’ appearance and the guns pointed at him opened his mouth.

    “My nails are excessively short and I take thorough skin care. “I consciously trim my body hair short… I’m very particular about cleanliness.”

    At Lennok’s calm words the neck of the soldier who was aiming the gun on the right twitched.

    “Huh nonsense….”

    “I thought it was tuberculosis but seeing as the knot lengths on both shoes are different it’s not an obsession. Cleanliness is for others not for yourself….”

    Lennok who thought for a moment looked closely at the soldier’s face and nodded.

    “You have a child. yes?”

    “…!!!”

    “Caruso come to your senses!!”

    Another soldier who saw the gun the soldier was holding shaking shouted but Lennok did not stop talking.

    “It’s not a matter of mentality or appetite. skin? yes. “Seeing as the area that needs to be touched by hand was well taken care of it seemed likely that it was a skin disease.”

    Lennok who found the correct answer in an instant by throwing out keywords one by one nodded.

    “Because we provide regular care the habit sticks out on a daily basis. It’s very old. “It’s an underlying disease that I’ve had since birth.”

    “…I heard he was also a skilled craftsman in Machina. “Can a high-ranking wizard look into such secrets so casually?”

    “Caruso what are you doing!!”

    When Caruso responded obediently to Lennok’s words another soldier turned his gun but Caruso paid no attention.

    He just opened his mouth with a look on his face that made him look like he had aged a dozen years in that moment.

    “I heard that he even provided consulting services beyond his father-in-law. Do you know anything about my child’s skin disease? “Is there a way to fix it?”

    “This crazy bastard is now…!!”

    The moment another soldier could not stand it and was about to hit Caruso on the head Lennok spoke to the other soldier as well.

    “Is there a bar you go to often these days?”

    “…!!”

    “It looks like the bartender over there has invested some money in the business he recommended but it would be best to get it out right away. “It’s a pyramid scheme.”

    “Don’t talk nonsense.”

    Another soldier stammered desperately denying Lennok’s words.

    “That can’t be possible. There’s no way you know that fact…!!”

    “But that investment isn’t your money but slush funds stolen from somewhere else right?”

    The image of a soldier gritting his teeth unable to answer.

    Lennok said pointing to the soldier’s arms.

    “The fact that he carries a cell phone while violating the rules inside the prison facility is proof that there are communications that need to be received in real time. “This is a characteristic of people who enter the financial world.”

    In fact it was just Dabi’s ability to hack the phone and take out the account but the soldier could not refute anything Lennok said.

    This is because his secret of stealing slush funds from other institutions and investing them as he pleases was an unmistakable fact.

    “There is only one thing I want to ask you.”

    Lennok who casually offered indescribable conciliation and threats to the two people spoke.

    “Aren’t there several security teams operating in two-person teams at the prison facility? “Every time you meet another security guard ask for a shift and change your work location.”

    “….”

    “It won’t be difficult now that the work system has been disrupted due to Narcissa Solmer’s visit.”

    Beep beep beep!!

    At that moment the communication device that had stopped working was connected and another soldier’s voice rang out from the other side.

    -Lieutenant Caruso. The medical equipment in the prison cell stopped working. What happened?

    “….”

    -If anything is wrong report it immediately. So that we can check on the safety of the doctors.

    Caruso who picked up the communicator looked at me and Lennok smiled silently and nodded.

    Caruso who closed his eyes tightly pressed the communicator button and answered.

    “No… there is nothing wrong. “It looks like he is taking a break to improve his condition for a while.”

    -I see. There didn’t seem to be any problems on the surveillance screen but I opened the communication network just in case. It’ll be okay right?

    “…Of course.”

    I didn’t think about the sudden escape but there are plenty of surveillance devices inside the facility to monitor Lennok.

    Does this mean that the wizard must have been outside the prison cell but no one outside noticed anything wrong?

    Caruso who had a shiver down his spine looked back at Lennok with a look of fear.

    “If you can deceive the entire Machina Special Prison Facility why tell us…?”

    “It’s easy to spread cracks but I have to create the first crack myself.”

    Lennok laughed.

    “In order to adjust the direction it is something that must be done even if it is inconvenient.”

    Dabi’s hacking ability was used to fool the surveillance equipment but that was only for a short time.

    Considering Machina’s excellent security system which changes the encryption pattern in real time and rebuilds the system it will not be long before the deception is discovered.

    Of course if Lennok stayed here to assist Dabi he could continue to deceive the surveillance equipment but that was not what he needed to do right away.

    “It is highly likely that your son’s skin disease is part of a curse.”

    “…curse?”

    “There is a faint reverberation of magic power that is not yours. “It’s almost like a twisted numb feeling.”

    “….”

    “Unless you have already awakened this dark magical power at a young age the cause must have been determined to some extent.”

    “But there is not a single mention of him in Machina’s ward…”

    “If it is a curse that has been on you since birth the effect will become stronger and the traces will fade over time.”

    “….”

    “As much as Machina’s researchers are well-versed in magic engineering knowledge they are not interested in pure magic world knowledge.”

    Lennok muttered indifferently.

    “It would be a good idea to go see a shaman or warlock. “A witch doctor won’t be able to help with this problem.”

    “…You have no intention of killing us.”

    The soldier standing next to Caruso muttered.

    “If the rumors are true we should have been in blood a long time ago.”

    “Why did you even want to die?”

    Lennok laughed raising his handcuffed hands.

    “I’m not the type to hesitate if you want it.”

    “Oh no…!! “We’ll just go!!”

    The soldiers realizing the meaning of their bullshit hurriedly opened the barrier and started moving away.

    Lennok also crossed the open barrier and walked straight down the hallway.

    As Lennok recommended I wonder if I am changing my work location under the pretext of a shift change and the movement of vital responses that can be felt in my senses is active.

    If he had defeated the soldiers from the beginning and taken a hardline stance he would have had to repeat the battle over and over again until he escaped the prison facility.

    However simply disabling part of the system and cajoling security personnel to provide a small opening will greatly expand the radius of action.

    “It’s comfortable.”

    All Lennok has to do is temporarily paralyze the surrounding surveillance devices and run away into another hallway to avoid the approaching presence.

    However Machina’s soldiers will not be fooled by this simple trick forever so it is important to use this opportunity as appropriately as possible.

    The moment I felt like my prediction was wrong I turned to the right hallway avoiding all the signs.

    All the lights in the hallway went out and red warning lights started flashing instead.

    Why!!!

    [An inmate from a special detention facility escaped. Code red alert entered.]

    [All unit members must return to the facility and form a siege network.]

    [Security system encryption pattern update. All hallways and rooms are isolated and protective measures are taken.]

    [Call to enforcement agencies completed. The 9th Mechanized Brigade Convoy is on the move!!]

    A sharp voice boomed through the speakers in the hallway.

    Not long after Lennok left the prison cell the guards also noticed something unusual.

    Did they notice that even though the CCTV screen and all kinds of surveillance equipment showed no abnormalities confusion was increasing and security was not being maintained during the work shift process?

    It was much faster than expected but Lennok was not surprised.

    Machina A special detention facility where the worst criminals are detained and held before trial.

    In a way it was natural that security and judgment did not simply depend on surveillance equipment and systems.

    Kwaang!!

    Roaring noises and shouts coming from afar.

    At the same time signs of magical power so clear that even Lennok’s senses can sense them begin to be felt everywhere.

    “The wizard escaped. Grab it!!”

    “I don’t know what they did but they fooled the surveillance system. “All the doctors fainted!!”

    It seems that as soon as they learned that the soldiers protecting the prison facility had been suppressed they began deploying large numbers of high-level magic users.

    “How could you without taking off the magic blocking restraint device…!!”

    “There are no signs of changing clothes or removing handcuffs. “I wouldn’t have been able to run away!!”

    Are you planning to isolate the entire inside of the facility with a barrier and check each one to find Lennok?

    It was judged that Lennok would have difficulty moving in a situation where he had not yet fully recovered his magic power.

    Based on that assumption the response to the extreme solution to track him down as quickly and reliably as possible is flawless.

    Lennok nodded leaning his back against the hallway wall as he thought so.

    “Are you ready Dabi?”

    [88% reproduction of three-dimensional design of special detention facility completed. Securing the control room location.]

    The moment when the lightning spirit that landed on Lennok’s head wriggled its tail and increased its magical power.

    [Simple Ascension Gate database random parallel connection. Security system overload 15%…!!]

    At that moment the steel barriers that had been tightly closed on all sides began to vibrate like crazy and move up and down violently.

    Coo goo goo goong!!!

    Dozens and hundreds of layers of barriers opened and closed on all sides of the long narrow corridor fluttering wildly in all directions.

    At the end a strange sight where the faces of the executioner and soldiers appear briefly and then disappear again.

    “The fastness is over there!!”

    “Catch it!!”

    As soon as Lennok disappeared beyond the open door the door closed and the bailiff followed behind violently striking the barrier.

    Kwaang!!

    “Damn it…!!”

    The bailiff let out a harsh curse as he looked at the barrier that was only half bent forward.

    Even though it is struck with magical power it is so hard that even a decent superhuman cannot easily break through it.

    In the first place this prison facility itself is one of the essences of Machina magic engineering that was created to isolate high-ranking superhumans within the facility.

    Therefore when the wall’s control system began to run away it was something close to a disaster.

    Weeing!!

    When the barrier opened again I hurriedly went inside but Lennok had already disappeared toward the other door.

    “Why has the security system inside the prison facility become like this?!”

    “I don’t know. “To avoid hacking or interference the authority to manipulate the barrier is managed differently…!!”

    -The amount of information that far exceeds the processing capacity of the security system is flowing backwards through the database.

    Operators who understood the situation quickly responded via communication.

    “The system is crashing because information is flowing back into the database? “Do you think that makes sense?”

    -After checking the source it turned out to be the medical equipment that was attached to the body of the dog. I think they may have tampered with the devices attached to check magical power and biological reactions.

    “….”

    The executioners realizing the meaning of what the operator said fell silent.

    Medical equipment permitted to be brought in to identify and study the magic power and condition of top-level wizards.

    Naturally the numbers recorded through medical equipment are also stored in the highest security database inside the prison facility.

    The wizard was flooding the prison security system by leaking dummy data into the medical equipment that was measuring his body.

    If Lennok had attempted to escape using force from the beginning it would not have been difficult to detect track him down and arrest him.

    They put psychological pressure on soldiers disrupt patrol teams’ shifts and overload the system with medical equipment.

    Ironically the most dangerous wizard in this city was throwing the entire prison system into chaos without even using proper magic.

    “I thought wrong from the beginning. “I should have kept a strict distance and not even given the opportunity…!!”

    “Come to your senses. “There isn’t much time!!”

    “From now on we will track the lightning and share its destination and direction of movement as much as possible.”

    “We need to spread out share information and narrow down the direction!!

    The executioners quickly came to their senses and began sharing the communication network with other soldiers.

    Quickly gather information and track Lennok among the barriers that are constantly opening and closing.

    The bailiffs with their unique keen senses immediately discovered the regularity of Lennok’s movements.

    “We are increasing altitude periodically. “It’s very rare for it to go down.”

    “It appears that the lightning is heading towards the top rooftop of the prison facility.”

    “What’s on the roof? “Dojuro wouldn’t have existed in the first place right?”

    “Park facilities and cafeterias created for inmates and….”

    “and?”

    One of the soldiers muttered as if he had realized it too late.

    “There is a heliport.”

    * * *

    Whioooo!!

    The rooftop of the top floor of a prison facility where strong winds blow.

    A small heliport located in a corner of a rooftop surrounded by thick barbed wire.

    Lennok with both hands tied in handcuffs was standing clad only in a hospital gown looking at the sky in silence.

    Slam!

    “Don’t move!!”

    The figure of a man slowly approaching from behind Lennok with a pistol pointed at him.

    Lennok glanced back checked the man’s facial expression and spoke.

    “He was the rooftop manager.”

    “Demon wizard… stay still.”

    The manager sweating profusely said.

    “The bailiffs are coming up. Calmly go back to the prison cell….”

    “pistol. “You haven’t used it in over three years right?”

    Lennok asked with a smile.

    “It looks like he cleaned his gun regularly but he still should have participated in mock shooting training regularly. “No matter how well you maintain it it will break if you don’t use it.”

    Lennok walks calmly even though he knows that the target is aimed at him.

    The manager closed his eyes and pulled the trigger toward the sky but as Lennok said the gun did not go off.

    The manager muttered as he helplessly put down the gun which had no bullets in it with the sound of a spring breaking.

    “Where on earth would you run away dressed like that? You’re crazy! You’re crazy!”

    “I’m not trying to run away.”

    At that moment a strong wind blew from beyond the invisible sky.

    As if a helicopter is landing heavy wind pressure presses down on the rooftop and pushes everything in all directions downward.

    “Wow!!”

    At that moment the manager was also helplessly blown away by the wind.

    Lennok’s body slowly emerged from the spot clutching something with both handcuffed hands.

    At the same time the pitch-black shape of a raven appeared in the empty air as if it were being eaten.

    Kuoooooo!!!

    “What the hell is this!!”

    Lennoc rode steadily on the crow’s wings looking at the retreating manager with a confused look on his face.

    “How is Dabi’s condition?”

    [It’s much better than when you entered the undersea wall isn’t it?]

    “It looks like Mouser took good care of it.”

    Before entering the Workshop Tower and finishing everything Lennok asked Mouser to repair the broken Raven.

    Mouser was carrying out the request to repair the Raven with Grazaia ore mined from the deep sea even after the job was finished.

    Lennok uses Dabi’s abilities to regain control of the Raven and then uses his stealth function to move to the prison facility.

    At the same time as escaping they were planning to escape through the prison facility’s air defense network.

    Hwii profit!!

    The appearance of executioners appearing one after another from below at the same time as the ravens soar high in the sky.

    With a very sharp attitude he leisurely flies across the sky avoiding snipers firing bullets including magic power.

    [It will be normalized once there is a security system in special detention facilities.]

    Dabi said.

    [There is only one chance to escape the air defense network before then. I think we need to set direction now?]

    “Narcissa Solmer and other Ex Machina members are afraid because they don’t know what I know.”

    Lennok answered bowing his head in the wind.

    “That’s a fear based on what I’ve done rather than what I’ve been through. Among the places involved in this incident there is a secret that Ex Machina wants to hide.”

    Ex Machina also does not know exactly what the secret is or what is hidden.

    However we are only vaguely aware that such a secret exists.

    That’s why even after restraining Lennok they did not treat him roughly but instead took care of him carefully paying attention to his condition.

    “A blueprint left behind by Kaise. “From the beginning there was only one candidate location where such a secret could exist.”

    Lennok laughed and muttered as he held the raven’s wings.

    “Hwadeokjingun’s defense tower. “Let’s go to the ruins we destroyed ourselves.”

    [They say the culprit will always show up at the scene again. Looking at the master it turns out they weren’t wrong.]

    “….”

    Lennok silently raised his hand and tugged at the spirit’s needlessly sharp ear.
