Drug-Eating Genius Mage - Chapter 117
Tracking (1)
Area 48. At noon. A large intersection with administrative facilities.
Bpabang!
All kinds of vehicles are driving in all directions in a disorderly manner on the street where a fountain carved with an unknown giant beast is located.
Even after the huge gang called the Cigar Bangs that dominated the district disappeared, the district’s vibrancy did not disappear.
Enormous goods and logistics overflowing from the central area. It is enough for dozens of districts to run smoothly just by receiving and living on the leftovers.
The reason why the Balkan underworld can be so active is because the light is so strong.
It was also the reason why citizens still trusted the city government even though they were facing dozens of unspeakable problems.
Unless it self-destructs like Senator Raysen, it won’t be easy for this absolute power structure to change.
Boaaaaaaaaa!!!
The noise of the engine running like crazy.
The dull sound of the steering wheel hurriedly lowered and horns reverberating from all directions hit the eardrums.
Two different cars were churning through the crowded streets, engaging in an untimely chase in the middle of the boulevard.
“Damn it…”
Lennok frowned as he watched the car ahead.
“This is a little harder than I thought.”
[Excluding the center lane from the options, we recommend encroaching on the second lane. Considering the traffic congestion, it seems that the other party is trying to avoid pursuit by pulling in cars on the side of the road.]
“I know.”
Lennok responded sullenly to Darby, who perked up in the passenger seat.
“When will the automatic driving pattern be completed?”
[The time I boarded the four-wheeled vehicle is about 560 seconds so far. It is difficult to obtain sufficient data on this alone. Even considering the computational power of strong artificial intelligence, it takes a little longer to learn patterns.] I
didn’t even have to listen.
Lennox kept his mouth shut and quietly stepped on the accelerator.
Lennok, who was not yet fully equipped with proper mobility, had no choice but to suffer if the opponent gave up resistance and rushed into a chase like this.
In addition, catch up with the fugitive while minimizing damage to the surroundings in this crowd of civilians?
Even a freelancer with skilled driving skills will have to work hard, but what about Lennok?
“…It was a mistake to approach her with her face exposed at first. I hope you recognize me at once.”
[Isn’t Master a famous freelancer around here? You made a clumsy mistake.]
“………”
It was a stupid enough mistake to be pointed out by Darby, but Lennok had something to excuse.
Collaboration with Dyke and operations with agents.
As Lennok’s reputation for taking care of a large number of cases in a row soared, the number of criminals who knew his face around here began to increase significantly.
The opponent who ran away without any resistance as soon as he saw Lennok’s face.
Even knowing that he is an excellent wizard, he somehow selects and drives only in crowded places, inducing civilians to be swept away as much as possible.
No matter how much Lennok is, it is impossible to guarantee that he will be able to use magic accurately so that a car that is several tens of meters away from exploding does not explode when he is distracted from the steering wheel.
‘If it’s an escape play made for the purpose, it’s very plausible. Even if it’s a coincidence, this is the realm of talent.’
Lennok’s eyes narrowed coldly.
While making an excuse to visit the Dominion, I thought it was a worthwhile request and received it, but wasn’t Lennok aiming for a difficult situation to deal with?
‘I’ll have to catch him and hear the reason myself.’
While he is lost in thought, the chase gets more bogged down.
Deliberately distracting the direction left and right, disrupting the driving of other cars and cluttering the lane to thwart pursuit.
baaaaang!!
bang! Woo support!!
“Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!”
“What are you doing!!”
Eventually, chaotic cars invade the sidewalk, breaking streetlights, smashing fire hydrants, and splashing water into the air.
Lennok spun the steering wheel as he wiped the water droplets off the windshield with his windshield wiper.
The car skidded all the way down the right-turn road, barely touching the wall.
The figure of Lennok, who accelerated by stepping on the accelerator, was taking shape to some extent now.
A boarding aid magic created through repeated research.
It was proof that the magic originally created to handle bikes was being successfully applied to cars as well.
Kiki profit!!
“If data collection is still going on, I guess I’ll have to think about the other side.”
[What does that mean?]
“It’s manipulating nearby traffic lights to specify the direction he turns the steering wheel. can you do it?”
Lennok didn’t know exactly how much potential the partner he created had, but neither did Darby himself.
It is said that she has strong calculation ability based on Palmers’ artificial intelligence module, but she is just born in the world and learning various things.
It was necessary to get a sense of what was possible and what was not, as Lennok gave direct instructions and told me.
momentary silence. Darby replied.
[It is possible.]
Pajijijik!!
At that moment, an electric shock flashes from Darby’s body, and the electromagnetic waves created by repeated momentary vibrations spread across the street beyond the car.
Beep! Beep!
As the light of the traffic lights that went back and forth between green and red changed randomly at some point, the road situation was quickly controlled.
No matter how good your opponent is at driving, it is impossible to forcibly pass through a street where cars have stopped.
The only thing you can aim for is the empty gaps that occur moment by moment on the road you are driving on.
It is impossible to control the whole area, but it is possible to induce the driving route of the vehicle being tracked.
“Dabi. Get behind the wheel.”
[Data collection yet…]
“The direction doesn’t matter, so just control the car so it doesn’t hit anywhere. Would that be possible?”
Without waiting for an answer, Lennok placed his hand on his waist.
What I held in my hand was a small rifle model the size of a finger.
However, after dispelling the reduction magic granted by infusing magic, what was in Lennok’s hand turned into a huge sniper rifle.
Clap!
Lennok, who loaded the bullets and quickly loaded them, poked his head out the window with his rifle.
As soon as he confirms that Darby is controlling the steering wheel remotely, he sticks out his gun and puts his face into the scope.
“…Ugh.”
Lifting the rifle itself was not difficult thanks to the lightweight magic, but this posture of sticking the muzzle out the window was too much for Lennok.
It should be done in one shot.
Thinking so, Lennok immediately stacked the assist shooting magic on top of the rifle.
[Aim correction]
[Trace guidance]
[Penetration control]
[Concentrated fire]
It’s the first time I’ve handled it properly, but the moment I hold it, I feel that the capacity is inherently different from that of a pistol.
The auxiliary magic that can be stacked with a revolver shot doesn’t feel burdensome at all here.
However, Lennok suppressed the desire to further test the limits of his secondary magic and quickly aimed his gun.
What is needed is accuracy, not power. Conversely, if it was for that purpose, it wouldn’t matter if the bullet’s power was reduced.
I pulled the trigger.
Taaang!!
The direction of the muzzle aimed on a swaying car is fixed by a bizarre horsepower movement right before shooting, resulting in an optimal firing angle.
Immediately after that, the bullet’s trajectory was slightly bent and deflected precisely toward the direction Lenok was aiming for.
Finally, he pierced the rear tire of the car he was running away from.
Pew!!
close to the axle. It is also the result of maximizing penetration.
It must have felt like running the remaining distance on three feet rather than simply blowing out a tire.
The moment you’re sure of a hit, get behind the wheel again and continue the chase.
It wasn’t difficult to close the distance against a car that had one leg missing.
[Gravity Chain]
A purple chain protruding from the air instantly grabbed the body of the car and tilted it, helplessly losing balance and spinning the wheels in the air.
“!!!!”
Inside, I could feel the person behind the wheel feeling flustered, but that was it.
“Haa…”
Lennok, who stopped the car and got out of the driver’s seat, rummaged in his arms.
Darby, who was sitting in the passenger seat, jumped and landed on Lennok’s shoulder.
As she gave her gaze, Darby, who had been in the shape of a fox, changed her appearance to an orb of lightning.
Davi’s appearance was revealed in front of Aris, so it was necessary to wear appropriate camouflage when walking around with a half face.
Lennok, who flipped over and approached the fallen car, knocked on the overturned car window.
“Down the window.”
“…….”
There was no answer.
He took a revolver out of his pocket and pulled it lightly.
Taang!!
Citizens who were watching the scene began to run away quickly at the resounding gunfire.
suburbs of large cities. A lawless zone where this kind of thing happens every day.
It will take a long time for the police and other security organizations to arrive. Citizens living here are already accustomed to such conflicts.
cracked glass. Is it bulletproof glass because it doesn’t break in one shot?
But it won’t last long.
If you don’t want to come out, you can only make me want to come out.
Thinking so, Lennok was about to pull the trigger once more, but the window slowly lowered, revealing a man hanging upside down inside.
“Save me… I lost.”
The man’s terribly crumpled face had turned red from the concentration of blood.
Just by looking at his appearance, it was clear that the other person had nothing to do with magical powers.
Instead of replying, Lennok poured the nutrients he took out of his arms into his mouth.
It contains useful ingredients to get rid of fatigue through vasodilation, but I don’t really realize it.
‘If I finish it, I’ll have to change it to a new product.’
Among the products on the auction, there were products imported from other cities rather than made in the Balkans, but this time I plan to try that.
The man was staring up at Lennok, who was dangling himself in front of him and suddenly taking nutritional supplements, with a frightened expression.
“I heard that the wizard of Area 49 is a person who takes great care of my health… The rumors are true.”
“Are those weird rumors spreading?”
Recently, while carrying out the request, I have been taking various medicines in my spare time, and it seems that strange sightings are spreading.
I wasn’t wrong, so I couldn’t help it.
The man gulped with a nervous expression, then slowly opened the car door and crawled out.
“…I’ll hand over things. If I got caught this fast, there’s nothing I can do about it.”
“You are quick to judge. Give it up.”
A man handing over a small item wrapped in paper wrapping with a trembling hand in his arms.
Lennok held out an object from above his shoulder toward the floating Darby and asked.
“how is it?”
[Two seconds until component analysis… Electromagnetic waves specialized for stimulating the user’s nerves were detected. It is presumed to be an electronic drug with low perfection.]
“That’s for sure.”
E-drugs that should have been in the disposal process went missing on the way.
Lennok’s job in this nomination was to bring back the drug.
The client was anonymous, but probably one of the organizations that specialize in distributing these drugs and selling them at a margin.
It was clear that it was a good quest to test how much Lennok was treated well now, with a decent level of pay while not stimulating Lennok’s morality too much.
At the time of the request, the client said that it was okay to dispose of the drug, but considering that the drug was paid for as an additional option, it seemed better to take it as it is.
“Are you saving me?”
“I found what I need, so there is no need to kill me…”
Taang!!
Before Lennok could finish his words, gunshots rang out and the man collapsed with blood spraying from his temples.
At the unusually fast speed of the bullet, Lennok could do nothing but raise his shield.
“Now, until there.”
A man wearing sunglasses with an elongated horse figure crouched on top of a lamppost and waved.
In his hand was a handgun with a strangely long barrel.
“I thought I ran away well, but what if I ruin things in the end? Driver, you should have driven the taxi properly and arrived at your destination.”
