Drug-Eating Genius Mage - Chapter 695

Genius Magician Who Eats Medicine Episode 695

The Witch and the Mage Tower (9)

[File Name : 34ag23magi7lm1.vi8]

The central network of the Balkan city government in a megalopolis.

The other side of the brain space where the data of the entire city circulates. The Deep Web, which exists outside a central network security firewall.

An unknown video file was uploaded to a place where millions of data were uploaded and disappeared per second.

Although there are few users who open the video with sober mind in this place where all kinds of electronic drugs, witchcraft crime videos and hacking tools are prevalent.

It’s a different story if the video was uploaded to a bulletin board dedicated to gem-level members.

Here, even browsing the bulletin board and uploading posts are managed with a difference in authority.

It is rare that you can upload a video, not just a text, on this site that is open to only a few members.

Naturally, several comments started running under the post where the video was uploaded.

└ What is it?

└ It’s been a few days since this video was uploaded.

└Look at the file name. I think I just uploaded it as soon as the encoding was finished.

In the meantime, someone who had opened the video file commented again.

└3 minutes long, 1.7 TB capacity. It’s not like e-drugs or device codes.

└Is that enough capacity for that playback time?

└ It must mean that the amount of compression of the information inside the video is that great. Who to check first?

└I hate it. I don’t want to fall behind

Even as he said that, the video play count below the post began to skyrocket.

Before the time was less than 3 minutes, people who checked the video started commenting one by one.

└ Hey, this is a fucking… …

└ It was a big deal. I don’t think it’s something to look at.

The number of views and replay counts are increasing at a rapid pace, as if curiosity has exploded due to an unusual reaction somewhere.

└ It’s a recording of a battle. looks like an army Who is your opponent?

└ It’s full of noise, so it’s hard to recognize properly.

A short video of about 3 minutes is all about flashing lightning on the other side of the roaring battlefield.

The noise and errors scattered throughout the video are so severe that it is almost impossible to recognize anything except that someone is dying indiscriminately.

Only the desperate screams that can be heard sparsely and the strange resonant sound that sounds like magical energy are in charge of the few sounds in the video.

However, even in the video full of noise, there were people who found out and commented on something.

└ Parts that fly in 1 minute and 51 seconds. It is a power suit part. It’s a military product manufactured and exported in Area 33.

└Military power suit. If it’s an item exported from District 33, it’s likely that the three main uses are Hedoros Mackina and Marmadio.

└ You can do a search by selecting an area with recent heavy casualties as a candidate site.

A bulletin board that can only be viewed by those with reliable records and status even within the Deep Web.

Even posting a post or commenting is a place where you need your own permission.

Those who exchanged information in these places quickly began to trace the traces of the video in their own way and find out the essence of its meaning.

└Machina Mechanized Corps Ground 3 Corps. It is estimated that all of them were wearing military power suits. And a month ago, it was annihilated in some kind of avalanche.

└What kind of situation? a month ago?

└A month ago… … It was at that point when the dog-roe ran rampant in Machina for a long time.

It was only then that those who realized what this video was showing fell silent.

The identity of a short 3-minute video.

It was a fragment of the record of the very battle in which Lenok slaughtered the 3rd Corps of the Mechanized Corps single-handedly.

└ I guess this is the reason for the high noise. It’s hard to figure out because it doesn’t look right.

└ However, this is the first time that such detailed battle records have been leaked. would be a valuable resource

└Look at this. In addition to thunderbolt, he uses a variety of attributes. There were many rumors about the fastness magic system, but this is really… … .

After the identity of the video is clear, the number of views and plays continues to increase, and more comments begin to run.

Hackers floating around the network naturally pay attention to the post while traffic is concentrated toward the post in an instant.

“… … .”

The man who had hundreds of monitors open in a dark room also stopped his hands while watching the video.

The man, who had been watching the video over and over again, agonized over it for a long time before tapping the keyboard at high speed as if he had made up his mind.

Over the monitor, dozens of unknown program codes appear overlapping, bypassing deep web posts in an instant and accessing internal developer tools.

The huge amount of video recorded in it began to download at high speed.

Tak tok.

A blue download bar is projected above the pupils of the man who is biting his lip nervously.

In a strange silence, the moment when the man finally bypassed the deep web and downloaded most of the videos.

[It’s caught!]

The figure of a fox that came out from the side of the monitor suddenly started eating the download bar.

wow wow!!

“What!!”

The appearance of a fox devouring the loading window, ignoring the man who jumps up in surprise.

At the same time, hundreds of monitors installed in the room are quickly destroyed and turned off.

The man’s complexion turned pale when he realized belatedly that his computer was being hacked and destroyed.

“no!!”

[You’ve been watching us since before, right?]

The fox that ate up the download window looked back at the man from the other side of the monitor.

[I thought that even if it was a dummy image that was crushed by noise, if it was a persistent organism, it would surely be of interest.]

“Ha, it was a trap!!”

The man who understood the fox’s words slumped down in his place helplessly.

“Nonsense. I checked again and again… … !!”

[Mirror Diver’s hackers were timid and hard to catch, but you’re uniquely stupid?]

Wagging its five tails, the fox slowly swelled up and began to roll over dozens of monitors.

[The data you have been working hard on. I’ll put it to good use. Thank you.]

“No, no… … !!”

Chi profit… … !!

There was the sound of something exploding from the bottom of the room, followed by acrid smoke.

The computer of the man who couldn’t overcome the overload was broken and started to melt.

Leaving the man on his knees with a devastated expression on his face, the fox smirked and slowly jumped out of the monitor and disappeared.

* * *

[Master.]

Darby wriggled his tail in Lennok’s arms as he was cleaning up the turmoil at the bar.

[Another person took the bait. This time it’s on the Mirror Diver side.]

‘It took longer than expected this time.’

Lennok thought so and stroked Darby’s ear.

There was no other reason for secretly exposing the combat records of the 3rd Corps of the Mechanized Corps and confirming the reaction.

Before building the Mage Tower in earnest, it was to make known Lennok’s magic system and to catch those who showed a particularly strong interest in it.

It would have been difficult if it had not been for the help of this brain spirit who was suspiciously knowledgeable about the deep web, but after starting it, he was making quite a profit.

In particular, the shadowy hacker group, such as the Mirror Diver, has thoroughly avoided getting involved with Lennok.

If you managed to break through their strangely thick vigilance and achieve results, then you should see that Darby is doing a good job.

While Lennok thought so, a meeting was in progress at the bar about this agenda.

“We know about the return of Peisha Grisburn, but I don’t think the exact location has been specified.”

In the meantime, Kilian, who came out of the basement after the interrogation, explained while turning over the memo.

The result of tenaciously extracting information after imprisoning Lennok’s captured Mage Tower Bead Harpman.

However, it was just as difficult to obtain new clues other than cross-checking the circumstances.

“I accompanied Malacia and tracked her to Balkan, but I heard that she didn’t make direct contact with Peisha because she immediately collided with Tatiana.”

“If we are certain that Peisha has returned to the Balkans, the first priority is to find her.”

Lennok nodded.

“I’m pretty sure he’ll be staying around the satellite plant and monitoring the situation.”

“It is very likely. however… … Isn’t something a little hot?”

Saying that, Kylian grabbed his shirt and shook it.

“I think it’s a bit hotter than before… … .”

“… … .”

At those words, the eyes of the others naturally turned to the rosary on Lennok’s left arm.

It was because the flames entwined around the rosary tied to the forearm were still flowing like a living wave.

“I tried to hold it in shape, but it seems to have a bigger impact on the surrounding environment than I thought.”

Saying that, Lennok touched Jenny’s laptop on the counter.

All the whiskey that Tatiana spilled on the keyboard evaporates and disappears, leaving only a subtle sticky sensation.

“The whiskey is all dry already.”

“Eh?! Wait a minute!!”

Just then, as if she remembered something she had forgotten, Jenny’s face turned into a tear as she picked up the laptop like lightning.

“no… … !! If this goes bad, you’ll have to make a whole new backup of a week’s worth of data!!”

“I’m sorry.”

Tatiana looked at Jenny and apologized softly.

“I don’t have any money right now, but if I withdraw it in my name to the bank under the name of the magic tower… … .”

“Oh no. It’s not that important right now.”

Lennok looked up in silence at the two of them talking gibberish to each other.

It was because he recognized that the atmosphere in the bar was changing little by little, not simply because the whiskey had evaporated and dried up.

“Your lips are dry.”

Jordan seemed to understand Lennok’s feelings and added it.

“If you can feel it with this dull body, it must mean that it is a dangerous object.”

“Come to think of it, it definitely seems a bit dry. This has something to do with that thing too, right?”

Jenny pounded on her laptop and smacked her lips.

As Lennok showed earlier, this amount of aftermath without forcibly extracting heat from the solar system.

Rather than being hot, it is a strange sensation that all the moisture present inside the bar gradually dries up.

Just by being there, it is absorbing moisture from all directions and changing the environment.

Lennok looked at the pattern of the Phoenix Hall and asked Jordan.

“Are there many things in the bar that shouldn’t be dehydrated?”

After thinking for a moment, Jordan nodded.

“Most drinks are like that. In the case of wine, in particular, isn’t it extremely sensitive to storage conditions?”

“If you leave it for a long time, the taste will change quickly.”

Lennok looked away as he said that.

“I think we should take action first.”

Kiririk!!

Lennok, who had raised his mana, began to draw strong thoughts on his left forearm and patch it up… … .

At that moment, a thin thread covered the red sun pattern and changed like a bandage wrapped around the forearm.

Worse!!

The shape of a thin skein of thread that is entangled and tied in a certain pattern as if it were knitting.

At that moment, I felt the dryness I felt inside the bar suddenly disappear.

A faint sense of déjà vu that could not be explained in words. The feeling of being in danger, as if the dangerous feeling was disappearing.

Jordan let out a sigh of relief.

“You’re back. If the humidity is maintained at this level, there will be no need to clear the shelves every time class comes.”

“Did you lock your power inside?”

Lennox nodded at Jenny’s question.

“No matter what material you use, you won’t be able to suppress it for long. With periodic replacement in mind, I plan to cover it with magicians.”

The magical yarn Lennok handles is an item that can be used by freely adjusting its tension, hardness, elasticity, and length.

It is not difficult for Lennok, who handles mana in particle units, to control the flow of the contact surface by weaving a magician.

But Tatiana, looking at the bandages Lenok had made, stuck her tongue out in amazement.

“You can pull out this level of uniform magician without manipulation magic? You should rather say that one of your ancestors had a spider.”

“well. If there are spiders among your real ancestors… … .”

After saying that, Lennok smiled bitterly.

It was because he knew that the skills of the half-breed spiders who had learned manipulation magic were not up to this level.

In Pandaemonium, there is a messenger who was born as a mixed blood of a true ancient race and has a gift for manipulation.

Beyond simply manipulating objects or magical powers, he has an extraterrestrial talent that walks a tightrope on the other side of the imaginary dimension.

However, instead of mentioning that fact, Lennok gently touched his left arm, which was wrapped in magic thread.

I didn’t even wrap my hands in bandages just in case, but it’s not strange to see them wrapped in bandages without fail.

If you put the sorcerer once more on the bandaged arm and wrap it around your neck-

“… … .”

Everyone was speechless at the sight of Lennok, who looked like a patient in a cast and on a cane.

“It looks like you shouldn’t be going anywhere.”

“I feel sorry for asking for help all of a sudden… … Is this okay?”

“Shouldn’t we rather help Ban?”

Looking at the three people in serious trouble, Lennok smiled.

“It’s a little uncomfortable, but not so much that I can’t move.”

Lennok tapped his bandaged forearm and returned to the topic.

“I guess we can use this as a bait to draw out Peisha while changing magicians regularly.”

“A satellite factory?”

“After tracking the location, lure Peisha to open the distance, raid the factory and destroy the engine.”

From Dead Rise’s point of view, they will try to build a satellite by any means, so if you hint at the existence of the Phoenix Hall from this side, Peisha will naturally be drawn out.

At that point, if you attack the satellite factory and destroy the engine, the plan itself will collapse.

The work itself is not that complicated. It’s just that the conditions necessary to carry out the task itself have not yet been met.

“As long as Phoenix Hall exists, there are not a few ways to think about it. If the operation succeeds only once at the right time… … .”

At this point, where the key parts most needed for satellite production are not taken away, you can also choose this side.

At Lennok’s words, the others naturally nodded.

“I will lure Peisha to pass the time. Can you locate the satellite factory of Van Tentacion?”

Tatiana said without hesitation.

“I don’t know much about the topography of the Balkans. If possible, I would like to enlist the help of people from the city.”

“According to rumors, Peisha must be a warrior with a natural talent for killing people.”

Lennok asked.

“I have faced a warrior who possesses the spirits of his ancestors and fights. Regardless of the hierarchy, he used a variety of abilities. Can you pass the time against something like that?”

“It is the knowledge of a warmage to somehow maintain the status quo without dying.”

“… … .”

“And that’s what I asked for. Isn’t it natural to take on the most dangerous job?”

If you think you have to do it even though you know it’s dangerous, you won’t hesitate.

Tatiana’s attitude itself wasn’t bad, but Lennok shook his head when he heard that.

“I have no intention of distributing people based on responsibility or sensitivity. Of course, efficiency and aptitude come first.”

“Ugh… … .”

“But going into an operation with just these two is definitely problematic.”

“Are you thinking of increasing the number of people in the operation? It would certainly be convenient if there was a avant-garde, but… … .”

“Shall we contact Antares?”

Jenny picked up her phone and fidgeted, but Lennok shook her head.

“If you have Antares, it will be effective when dealing with Peisha, but I won’t be able to reach you.”

When we met at the time of Random Box, Antares was already preparing to leave Balkan.

It wouldn’t be strange if he had gone far away to the other side of the continent by now.

Jenny also tapped her phone a few times and turned off the screen as if she knew it.

“The cell phone is already turned off.”

“More than that, there are people who will lend a hand just by mentioning the name Dead Rise. Didn’t you see it before?”

Lennok pointed toward the cellar.

“Even Dyke would not welcome the return of its competitor, Dead Rise.”

“… … It’s not that I hate the Dyke company, but I don’t know if it will be of great help in this job.”

Of course, Panoa and other executives are excellent people, but a story about business sense and work handling that covers both the good and the dark.

There is not much room for Dyke to open his hands in the work that requires force to deal with and deal with superhumans.

“It’s not a dyke.”

As Lennok said, he took up his overcoat.

Lennok nodded at Tatiana, who awkwardly stood up.

“Prepare. It’s not too late to think about it after going out and meeting.”

“Who are you trying to meet?”

Lennox laughed at Jenny’s words.

“There are people who hate Dead Rise even more than they do, but are willing to lend a hand in this matter.”

“You say you hate it?”

After thinking about it for a while, Jenny suddenly raised her gaze with a slightly surprised expression.

“no way… … ?”

The Three Heads who rule the shadowy lands of Balkan.

Dead Rise, Palgoong Fortress, and the corporate cartel.

Unlike the Citadel, which lost its power and changed its name, the cartel is still frantically sucking up capital from the shadows.

And they will undoubtedly react very sensitively to the presence of Dead Rise.

Lennok, who slid his coat over his shoulder and slightly covered his left arm, opened the door with his staff.

“Meet Oliviera Lone Maze and come.”
