Academy Life of a Career Hypnotist

Episode 57. Starry Night (9)

Seol Chae-hwa asked on the way.

“They didn’t go to the central control center and kept looking for something. Are you worried about the children?”

“You noticed too? Even if you don’t look at my uncle, he was pretending.”

I was concerned about the safety of my children. Actually, it wasn’t wrong. If you dare to divide the importance by percentage, ‘the risk of Maclean using children like soldiers’ is 51%. Although the safety of the children was 49%.

‘The future is wrong. It’s all pointless distinction.’

I answered Seol Chae-hwa’s question honestly. He said he was thinking of saving the children. Then Nayeon Eom asked me.

“It’s good to save, but what were you thinking after that? You can’t keep taking it with you.”

“I was going to leave it with you when I got all the children and go to the central control center by myself.”

“what?!”

At that moment, in an instant, she grabbed my wrist and stopped. But when I looked at him, he had a very angry face.

“Mr. Kim Do-yoon. Is that why you didn’t tell me beforehand… ? Because it is obvious that we will oppose it.”

It’s just that snowflakes don’t show up. Looking beyond the drone camera, I could have predicted what kind of expression he would be making.

“uncle.”

“huh.”

“… … no. I don’t have time to be like this. Let’s talk as we go.”

As she said that, she started to lead ahead of me this time. He was still holding my wrist.

“I am. I’ve always liked people like heroes. But you know what’s funny? If I were to choose the most frustrating person, that was also a heroic person.”

A familiar story flows.

“A hero always looks at the forest, not the trees. Because he cared about everyone, he couldn’t take good care of the people around him, and he couldn’t even take care of himself properly.”

The story of Nayeon Eom being able to be like Nayeon Eom now.

“Obviously, their performance is dazzling and impressive, but there are many people who die early, probably because of the price. I thought while looking at those heroes. Because I like it, because it’s frustrating. I want to stand over there.”

It’s not right now, but it’s an ordeal that will surely rise to the surface in the near future.

“At the end of the hero, I hated seeing the end of sacrifice. So you’ve been thinking like that ever since you were little? I mean, I want to be like that hero’s comma.”

The story of Eom Na-yeon, who is in charge of one axis of the main episode, that I have to go through on behalf of Yoo-seong.

back.

Eom Na-yeon’s hand, which was holding her wrist, was slightly tense.

“As long as I am by your side. As long as I’m staring hard with both eyes. I will never let my uncle put a period on his own. So, next time, don’t do such dangerous thoughts.”

“thank you.”

And a fleeting moment of silence.

Eom Na-yeon opened her mouth this time, as if she was aware that the atmosphere was about to become awkward again.

“If your uncle does something dangerous again, will you stick around then?”

“What are you hanging on to? I don’t have that kind of taste, so I don’t think I’ll fit in.”

“Then, like a cicada, it will cling to your uncle’s waist and cry all day long.”

“That’s a bit… … .”

If something like that happens at Signal Campus, I can guarantee that my life will go to hell. The number of friends Eom Na-yeon has been dating is well over a hundred.

“If you go over one more firewall from there, it’s the central control center.”

The road to the central control center was smooth and easy.

It just took a long time to navigate around the room. As you can see, if you were determined and went straight, you could have gone this easily.

‘Because the experience of playing Psychic Age doesn’t go anywhere.’

There were a lot of patrols when we reached halfway, but it wasn’t a big obstacle. Even though there was a gap where I closed it for a while and then returned, the accumulated knowledge and experience did not go anywhere.

“Just looking at it makes me feel like I’m here.”

I nodded my head in agreement with Nayeon Eom.

Now we had only one last firewall left. Right in front of this was the central control center.

“On the map, that’s the center of it. There is another structure down below that leads to the basement, but the only way out is through the entrance.”

In many ways, it will be an outboard. For MacLaine, who will be waiting on the other side of this wall, and for those of us who will go inside.

Now, behind us, the septagram forces that have finished searching the outside are making their way inside.

If you battle Maclean here, the alert level will immediately rise to the maximum. Most of the troops will run straight to the central control center.

‘If you can’t defeat MacLaine within the time limit. Wrapped up on both sides and eaten, it’s the end.’

Time Attack in the second episode. It can also be said to be the moment to decorate the finale.

“Seolchaehwa. How long do you think it will take the incoming troops to get to the center here?”

“Five minutes if I just let them come. If I delay it with my drone, I think I can last for 30 minutes.”

“Fifteen minutes. 15 minutes… … .”

“I have to consider the time it takes for me to hack the central control center with drones. If you’re going to get there safely, you’ll need about three minutes of the arrival time you just mentioned.”

In fact, it means that he has to settle with MacLaine within 12 minutes.

“What do you want, Uncle? Shall we ask Seol Chae-hwa to pull back some time?”

“That’s not allowed. I want to save drones as much as possible.”

“Even if the drone is destroyed, you can try proxy hacking by talking to me over the walkie-talkie. Don’t worry too much.”

know. The answer is no because you know everything. that takes too long

“just in case. Once the door is open, the drone is sheltered in a safe place.”

Don’t forget. MacLaine is definitely the ‘middle boss’ of the second episode.

Beep Big.

Finally, the last firewall door opens.

“Then, I’ll hide the drone in another safe place. From now on, I will not be able to watch the situation with my eyes.”

“great job. From here on out, leave the inside of the lab to us and focus on other things. If you defeat MacLaine, I’ll radio you right back.”

“I wish you luck.”

Seol Chae-hwa’s drone turns back the way we came earlier. They’ll probably go into one of the rooms we completed our search and hide the drone on their own.

It was time for us to do our job.

“uncle. stand behind me.”

By the time the firewall door opened enough for one person to pass through. Eom Na-yeon narrowed her eyes and stood as if protecting me.

That would also be the case, because through the crack in the door, a man was sitting on a chair and staring at me as if he had been waiting.

“I heard that there was a commotion outside, so I hurriedly set up a set, but did you really break through the surveillance network and come all the way here? congratulations… should I say no Come on. Our cuties.”

Puppeteer MacLaine.

It was the moment I met him.

***

Did you say it was a set?

I looked around the central control center. Originally, dozens of employees should have been sitting in front of computers, but now there were none.

“Have you ever had a cold heart? I prepared everything like this, but I wondered what if no one came here. Everyone was busy working here, so I kicked them out on purpose.”

“Did you know we were coming here?”

At Nayeon Eom’s question, MacLaine let out a greasy laugh.

“Uh-huh. I’ll leave it to your imagination how you figured it out. Isn’t that important now anyway?”

okay. okay.

Mechanical dolls appear one by one beyond the wall where MacLaine was sitting with his back to them.

“Ugh. what are these dolls It looks bad.”

A total of 29 dolls appeared while Eom Na-yeon frowned and was frightened. In the original work, it was the highest among the number of dolls that MacLaine randomly summoned.

‘A variable like this is everyday life.’

I paid more attention to looking around the inside of the control center than the dolls.

The researcher’s memories confirm that Maclean took all the children. The question is, where did you put those children?

“What are you doing? To look away from the beginning of the puppet show.”

“Is that all you have?”

“well? If you please me, I might introduce you to some special dolls.”

It must be somewhere around here.

Obviously, before entering here, when I sensed the inside with the sense control, I didn’t feel any presence except for McClane. It seemed that he had written something different.

“ruler! Shall we lightly check their skills first? Daniel. Rosemary. Would you like to show off your skills in a while?”

Two of the puppets lined up as if to protect MacLaine approached us. It was a doll with no ego and no AI programming, just an ignorantly strong body.

“uncle. Even if he looks down on us, does he look down on us too much? There are so many dolls, but only two are sent out.”

Eom Na-yeon whispered to me while covering her mouth with one hand.

‘I’m sorry, but that bluff doesn’t work for me.’

All they could do was suppress the steamship by rushing out their power all at once. I don’t know if it’s just about walking. He can only use up to 5 dolls in battle.

“Um Nayeon. Ignore those puppets in front of us and run straight to that man.”

“You have that many dolls? I won’t die, but if I get tied up by them, I won’t be able to protect my uncle.”

“I also have the strength to protect myself. I’m telling you because I have an idea, so trust me and follow me.”

Nayeon Eom nodded as she took out the Astrolabus stored in the holster.

and.

“Uryaat!”

Eom Na-yeon, who went ahead first, tried to headbutt a doll called Rosemary.

Rosemary lightly dodged to the side, but it didn’t matter. Eom Na-yeon ignored the puppets as I instructed and ran straight to MacLaine.

“hmm? Are you crazy?”

The dolls standing on either side of Maclean, as well as Rosemary, who had been ignored earlier, also aimed at Nayeon Eom.

His composure was just there.

“Oops! Euraseuratchachachacha!”

“What… … ?!”

She shoved all the dolls that approached her over her shoulder and knocked them over.

‘Because Eom Na-yeon has complete resistance to normal physical attacks, unless it’s physical strength with a touch of natural energy.’

As proof, the various weapons, maces, and blades the dolls were holding did not scratch or bruise her skin.

It’s not even an activated nature. Literally passive nature. It was a power that was always activated without consuming mana even while asleep.

“Woo! If you’re going to catch weight, hold it until the end! It is splashing ugly!”

The moment when Eom Na-yeon ignores all attacks coming at her and gets right in front of her nose. MacLaine hurriedly rolled to the side, dodging her outstretched grip.

“Oh! You were surprised! Come on guys, protect me!”

bang! Taang! Grrr!

Eom Na-yeon ignoring the weapons flying from all kinds of blind spots and rushes fiercely. MacLaine tried to erect a wall of dolls whenever she approached, but there were only five of them to be exact.

“Ahang! Do you have any weaknesses like that? You brought them all over and only five people can move?”

“Kuh! No education! You look like a girl who has never been in a relationship!”

“What does that have to do with this!”

It was childish to go back, but MacLaine wasn’t just suffering.

Hiss. Shaak!

Daniel, another of the dolls he sent out in the beginning, pulled out a rapier from his waist and was swinging it fiercely at me.

bang! Taang!

He tried to trigger the Astrolabos, but Daniel cut off the magic bullet with his skillful sword skills. Even if you were lucky enough to hit the body, it was only a light scratch.

‘It’s a mechanical doll again, so the problem is that mental interference doesn’t work. If I’m going to do it, I’ll have to show my nature directly to MacLaine… … .’

This was the difference between MacLaine and me. My nature only applies when the opponent is an intelligent creature, but MacLaine wasn’t limited by that.

Shaaak!

Daniel rushed at me like a knife whenever I tried to distract him. It was so fast that it even made the sound of tearing the air.

‘This can be avoided by using Delusion Practice and Mental Acceleration at the same time.’

Both were naturals with great mental energy consumption. If you use an additional emote implant here, you will never be able to handle the 2nd phase.

[‘Mental Acceleration’ is activated.]

slowed down time.

Eom Na-yeon, who only aims at MacLaine without even looking at the dolls stabbing, slashing, and swinging them from all sides, and MacLaine, who looks at her with a disgusted look on her face and backs away.

As I watched the scene, I fell into deep thought.

‘We’re at a disadvantage as the battle progresses, but he also made mistakes.’

When we saw all those 29 dolls appearing. He miscalculated that he would destroy the rest of the shrunken dolls individually. And it was the fact that he was left here alone, proud of his abilities.

In fact, the standard strategy is to suit his pattern. That way, when I turned to the next page, the burden was reduced as much as the objects were reduced.

‘They called all the children here.’

It was obvious. After we defeat those dolls one by one and run out of energy, he will try to enter the second phase by manipulating the children as if mocking us. If it was normal, it was really the worst situation.

what am i

‘You control children? Rather good.’

It couldn’t be the best that even brought children from other research institutes. It was a hundred and a thousand times better than dealing with scrap metal dolls whose abilities didn’t work at all.

[Quit ‘Mental Acceleration’.]

“Um Nayeon! Just keep pushing harder! He’s probably a natural spirit user! Physical ability will be inferior, so as long as we get close, it’s our victory!”

Decided to fight here.

If MacLaine throws away his ego and everything and only decides to defend, we will be at a great disadvantage. However, if he gets angry at my words and immediately turns to page 2, it’s my intention.

“I also want to catch up and beat you up! This man, does a gross tone that doesn’t go well with his appearance make people strangely pissed off?”

It wasn’t my intention, but Eom Na-yeon also shouted as if to help my provocation.

“Laughing! Do you think I’ll stay if you tell me to listen to me?!”

MacLaine takes something out of his pocket and starts manipulating it.

and.

“Mr. Kim Do-yoon! Nayeon! I’m secretly watching with a drone right now, but there are a lot of children heading towards the central control center!”

At Seolchaehwa’s radio, I exclaimed inwardly.

‘Caught.’

all right You have to get caught. They greeted us with all kinds of poop, but would they want to pass the time by raising the guard?

From nob le mt l. com

Jiying.

The only doorway through which we entered. The firewall door opened, revealing a number of children. Everyone’s eyes were unfocused, it seemed that MacLaine had written a number in advance.

“Um Nayeon! Come back to me!”

“But just push me… . okay!”

She wondered for a moment, then hurriedly came to my side, perhaps remembering that she had decided to trust me.

“Are you surprised? You must have been very upset. From now on, your enemies will be those pitiful children! Whoop whoop!”

Have a hearty laugh.

I’ll soon distort that face.
