    The Genius Wizard Who Takes Medicine Episode 662

    Retribution (4)

    Wow!!

    Under Dabi’s manipulation the new type of night raven which exquisitely penetrated the air currents instantly broke through subsonic speeds.

    The system recovered and quickly traversed the returning air defense network soaring above the dark sky of the machine city.

    I could feel all kinds of fire including missiles pouring down behind me but even that flow was slow.

    It only took a moment to jump between sections of the mechanical barrier and arrive back at the half-collapsed ruins of the defense tower.

    Wow!!

    A dark new form of the night crow that instantly slowed down with a few flaps of its wings and landed on the ruined workshop tower.

    Lennok who came down from the end and stepped on the ground glanced down at the scene unfolding at the bottom of the tower.

    “There are more people than I thought.”

    Yellow no-access lines and numerous police cars were parked forming a line and blocking the road.

    Down below police officers and scholars are busy gathering evidence preserving the scene and investigating.

    Even those who appear to have special abilities are mobilized and are desperate to find out the circumstances of the battle.

    Lennok’s eyes shone sharply as he closed his eyes and noticed the psychics fumbling around the ruins.

    “…psychometry?”

    Mental system superpower psychometry.

    Among innate abilities the mental system is a fairly rare area so it was Lennok’s first time seeing so many people at once.

    Among superpowers that rely on mental power the principles and systems of those that directly manipulate the mind are extremely contradictory.

    There are very few people who use it to the extent that it can be usefully applied in practice.

    The fact that such superpowers are gathered in one place is proof that they are treating the Hermes incident as important.

    Lennok who had been observing the faces of those with special abilities for a moment turned his gaze.

    “You could get discovered right away. “Move quickly.”

    Although he turned on the stealth function and approached the defense tower he would soon find out where Lennok had escaped and track him down.

    Moreover if there are many people staying inside the workshop tower it is difficult not to leave traces.

    It would be better to quickly take care of business and hide yourself.

    Lennok who had sent the raven flying away from the workshop covered himself with his work coat that was lying nearby and started walking.

    When I grabbed a construction helmet from nearby and put it on it looked decent.

    “Thank you for your hard work.”

    “It’s a lot of hardship.”

    Until I passed by naturally receiving greetings from workers I encountered nearby.

    I asked as if someone remembered me as I looked at Lennok walking opposite the workers going down the tower.

    “The Metropolitan Police Department has issued an emergency call. Is it okay if I don’t go?”

    “…It was a simple list.”

    Lennok paused for a moment and then answered.

    “I have already processed it and am on my way back.”

    “Aha I see?”

    Of course the reason the Metropolitan Police Department issued an emergency call was not because of the preparation of a list but because of Lennok’s escape.

    There was no reason to arouse anxiety by informing the workers of this fact.

    The moment when Lennok told a pleasant lie and tried to ignore them.

    [If you’re going to make an excuse like that shouldn’t you first properly hide the handcuffs on your wrists before speaking?]

    A roar was heard with multiple voices overlapping at the same time.

    “….”

    When Lennok glanced around he saw that the dozen or so workers he had just passed by were looking at him with expressionless faces.

    [The fastness of the Balkans. I heard a lot of rumors but I didn’t know that he was such a person who was not tied down to one place.]

    The workers’ mouths open at the same time and spit out the same words in different voices.

    The gaze has become somewhat blank. From unfocused eyes to rapidly slowed breathing and heart rate.

    A strange sight as if the workers were being controlled by someone at the same time.

    “I see.”

    Lennok who finally vaguely guessed the other person’s identity laughed.

    “I heard that several people with psychometric abilities were at the scene. Was it the work of one person from the beginning?”

    The other side of the unconscious that manipulates the minds of workers. The scale of that will is so great that even Lennok can immediately recognize it.

    The psychometricians who have been investigating this site so far are not different people.

    A person with supernatural powers who was not even present at the scene was directly investigating the scene by manipulating those under his control.

    “But the superpowers of those I saw were not lies… They were distributing their abilities arbitrarily and treating them like puppets.”

    A sharp smile appeared on Lennok’s lips as he looked at the workers.

    “He had enough ego and power to force others to share his abilities… He was someone who had already transcended the hierarchy and specialized in that area.”

    [Hoo.]

    No matter how powerful your superpowers are it is impossible to share your abilities with others and distribute them arbitrarily.

    A miracle that is not permitted at least under the concept and definition of superpower.

    Then isn’t the being that now wields this superpower a monster that transcends the hierarchy of superpowers and pioneers a new path?

    Level 8 psychic. Also psychometry which directly interferes with the mental system.

    Among the people Lennok has encountered so far in the machine city a monster that could easily be counted among the five fingers is watching him from the other side of his unconsciousness.

    “If you take the supernatural power of reading senses from matter to its limit then manipulating the minds of civilians won’t be as difficult.”

    Lennok added looking into the workers’ eyes with interest.

    “If they revealed their existence only after the situation was over they wouldn’t be under Ex Machina right? “It would be right to think of Machina as a big name in the underworld.”

    [Woohuhu…. That’s right. It has been a long time since Ex Machina was out of control.]

    The workers laughed in different voices and confirmed Lennok’s guess.

    [Should I introduce it again? I am Aoshu Spero. He has insignificant psychometric abilities and is a coward who would not be able to have a conversation with you otherwise.]

    “What are you doing here?”

    [We have made a deal with Ex Machina and are instead cooperating with the Metropolitan Police Department to investigate the scene.]

    Aoshu responded obediently.

    [I am now out of the organization but at one time I was affiliated with the executive agency. We maintain a minimum contact network.]

    Does this mean that someone with such powerful psychometric abilities was once an executioner?

    I knew that the Machine City had come down from its heyday but I had no idea that its power had been fragmented to this extent at the time.

    This is proof that Machina’s hidden giants were only half-watching the situation in this incident.

    And one of the big men was standing in front of Lennok calmly requesting conversation.

    “What is your business?”

    [As I used my power to investigate the scene I vaguely became aware of what you had done in this defense tower.]

    Aoshu asked in a strange voice borrowing the words of the workers.

    [Perhaps because of your abilities specific memories are not shown but… I can see where the aftermath extends. At what point should this skit end?]

    “….”

    [I’ll take the time. But it won’t be long.]

    The workers squinted their eyes and made cheerful expressions.

    [In the meantime do what you have to do.]

    An indescribably strange scene where all the rugged men gather together and wink at Lennok.

    Lennok who had been silent and unable to answer asked.

    “Why are you helping me at this point?”

    [Well… I don’t know what you think but I’m grateful to you.]

    The workers slowly turned around and answered in unison.

    [Thanks to you I was able to see the faces I missed including Maiya for the first time in a long time.]

    Aoshu laughed quietly.

    [Our paths may have changed but the memories of working together for the city never change. Don’t you think you become more sentimental the more you get away from humans?]

    “It’s not a story worth talking about right now.”

    [What a shame. I thought a magician with a level of speed would understand.]

    The workers walked down the stairs without hesitation and waved their hands.

    [bye. I hope we never see each other again. Actually I still…]

    At that moment sticky blood flowed down the noses of dozens of workers.

    [Because I want to steal your memories and your brain so badly.]

    “….”

    Lennok watched in silence the presence of a supernatural being who disappeared like the wind leaving behind an eerie wish.

    Aoshu Spero a psychic psychic who left the executive branch and became a shadowy tycoon.

    I thought he could have a normal conversation for a monster that transcended the hierarchy and reached level 8 but he seems to have gone even crazier than that.

    After all there is no way you can live a sane life while dealing with mental superpowers.

    Moreover if you have built up your superpowers to a level that transcends hierarchy it is not surprising if your way of thinking itself has already been completely distorted.

    ‘Are people like that hiding in the shadows of Machina watching over the city?…’

    Their power and danger itself are proof of history that the machine city was once at its peak. And now it must be proof that it has lost its status and honor and has fallen.

    Are they also using the remaining time in their own way?

    One day I might encounter the monsters that live in Machina’s shadow but at least not now.

    I had no choice but to go ahead with the plan trusting in the goodwill left behind by Aoshu Spero.

    At the same time as the presence of the workers completely disappeared Lennok also approached the wall of the workshop tower.

    A passageway where an elevator is located to access the stairs of the workshop tower.

    Without hesitation I call the elevator and get on it.

    Wow!!

    On his way to the top floor to meet Hermes Lennok took this elevator.

    In the process didn’t he engage in a fierce battle with Side Squad agents destroying all sides of the passage and reach the end of the throne?

    However Lennok still remembered the faint sense of discomfort he felt at that time.

    “The elevator stairs and the altitude perceived through magic detection are different. At the time I thought it was a design error and overlooked it but…”

    Could there be such a basic mistake or error in the workshop tower designed and built by Hwadeokjin himself?

    A hidden floor in the workshop tower. If there is a space that can never be reached by ordinary means…

    “He must have designed it so that only Hwadeok Jingun himself can reach it.”

    Lennok muttered that and took out a small hammer from his pocket.

    A pendant-shaped artifact that Narcissa Solmer entrusted to Lyman for maintenance.

    Lennok had repaired this artifact and confirmed that it was a shape-shifting maintenance tool used by the Hwadeok Jin Army.

    In order to steal this artifact one of the Side Squad agents assassinated Narcissa and took it away.

    Didn’t he try to find out information about the heart of the dragon by offering this hammer to the statue of Idupalbi?

    A hammer used by Hwadeokjin himself. If it is an object that has the function of being transformed into a form suitable for the target every time it is swung –

    It can also be used as a key.

    Wow!!

    Lennok took the hammer and hit the dashboard where the elevator button was pressed.

    Due to the impact the dashboard of the elevator which had been repaired at best was completely dented and dented.

    “….”

    [Master is this correct?]

    Even Dabi asked Lennok with a slightly absurd expression.

    Lennoc cleared his throat with a slightly embarrassed look and restored the instrument panel to its original state.

    “I thought it could be the key to reaching the hidden floor… Did I think too simply?”

    [The elevator will collapse before we can find the hidden floor.]
