I Picked a Mobile From Another World - Chapter 254
Episode 254 [ Overlord (1) ]
The press conference in Moscow spread throughout the world through broadcasting and became an issue wherever broadcasting or the Internet is still available.
Scientists and engineers created a device that seemed like something out of science fiction called a portal. And although economists were in an uproar, the general public was more curious about the awakened person who claimed to be in charge of EV.
It was especially worse for Koreans.
The netizen investigation team searched through all kinds of data to find information about him, and reporters found and interviewed everyone who knew him.
Even when he was already rumored to be an executioner, reporters poked around, but it wasn’t to that extent now.
But the reporters had no choice but to be frustrated again. There was no remaining information about Kyung-hoon, and the location of his acquaintances was difficult to interview.
-Baeksan Group has nothing to say about this matter.
-Chairman Jin Xiawei is not present. Please leave your inquiry and we will report back to you.
-The Korea Awakened Association does not disclose information about Awakened people to the outside.
Interviewing most of my acquaintances was impossible, and I could only find people I knew going back several years.
Reporters found employees of the company where Kyung-hoon worked as an intern in the past.
“Is it really Kyung-hoon? It looks similar and has the same atmosphere… but can becoming an awakened person lead to something like this?”
“You did a really good job. “I ended up not being hired as a full-time employee due to my poor management skills, but I remember him well because he had a unique vibe.”
“You did a good job. I didn’t have any friends… but even now, everyone feels sorry. It was an order from above, but it still could have protected them. “Everyone was busy taking care of themselves.”
Many people were disappointed and
said, “He was too maverick. Even though I didn’t do anything special, I just put a damper on the last day. “There were even rumors that he may have been responsible for the sprinkler failure.”
There were also people who spoke negatively.
But no one really knew him.
Some reporters even managed to find good interview subjects.
It was the couple who owned the soup restaurant that Kyung-hoon frequented.
“It went really well. He was a very sincere young man. Even when I couldn’t find a job after being discharged from the military, I lived hard and didn’t go down a bad path.”
Her husband nodded at her words.
The reporter asked about the time when Kyung-hoon changed.
“How long was it? One day, when things went well, I was abandoned over there. “I bought a factory in the industrial complex.”
“It was a place full of cats and even said to be haunted. The government office came out and got rid of them all, and it became quiet.”
She continued talking with a happy face,
“I visited him occasionally after that, but I didn’t see him for a while because he was moving. I remember him well because he was a bit of an unusual young man. My husband and I always said that he would become a big success someday.”
“Cancer. Cancer.”
My husband nodded again.
“I may be very busy right now, but I hope you can come back to eat soup later when you have time. Jinhyeok is coming too.”
The interview video spread to numerous communities and generated numerous comments.
ㄴIsn’t it all a lie? Before awakening, you were just unemployed. After awakening, you become like that?
ㄴYou have all kinds of characteristics. Didn’t you acquire something amazing?
ㄴCombat characteristics Not even? That can’t be possible…. After watching the video of the last battle in Moscow, experts said that he would be the world’s strongest awakener. ㄴ
Damn, this is going to be a bad guy too!
ㄴNo, let’s talk about the portal. If that happens, won’t the land price be a mess?
ㄴThe building owner It looks like you’re here. Are you talking about the current situation? Except for the metropolitan area, land prices are crazy and food prices are sky high, so you’re talking like that. Long live the portal! I’ll personally go and
kill those who oppose it. I can see my family in the United States. I felt some hope, but why?
ㄴBut isn’t the name Jinhyuk the same as the name of the president of the Korean Awakening Association?
ㄴWow. You mean we knew each other before awakening?
ㄴNo, we had connections even before awakening!
ㄴJeop Sergeant Jinhyuk and Sergeant Gyeonghoon have both become amazing.
ㄴWho do you know
? ㄴIt looks like
he is a person of interest ㄴHe served with me in the military. Sergeant Jinhyeok was also quite famous, and Sergeant Kyung-hoon was almost a
legend …
Is it a legend? That’s bullshit!
ㄴDon’t lie, just tell me about your unit!
ㄴIt’s a place where everyone gives you a sergeant when you’re discharged. ㄴ
It looks like they’re a special forces unit. UDT? HID?
ㄴWasn’t that a lie?
ㄴThe writer just left the company. Is it true?
All internet bulletin boards are It was very noisy with all kinds of rumors and speculation mixed in.
But the main character of the rumor was not from this world.

“This place has changed a lot, too.”
Kyung-hoon walked down the hallway and looked around. The rusty underground base was full of dust. It had changed neatly.
-80% of the facilities have been restored. Places like the dormitories have not been fully restored yet, but there is no problem in operating the base. Boom. Boom. A
golem
controlled by Eve passed by Kyung-hoon.
Now Kyung-hoon . is an underground fortress in the Rocky Mountains, located at an underground base that once housed the U.S. Strategic Defense Command.
Gyeong-Hoon came back to this underground fortress to check the mana satellite of the destroyed world.
The hallway was completely wiped clean of all traces of the fight.
It was nice to see the clean underground fortress, but Kyung-hoon’s face looked very distraught.
“I never expected to be on the death list…”
– Yes, I didn’t expect it at all.
Before coming here, Kyung-hoon visited the last underground bunker in Mulmangol, Busan.
It was to get information about Yeong-cheol, or rather, Hyeok-jun.
And after searching again, the results were as follows. Kyung-hoon was able to find a list of dead people among the discarded papers.
Hyuk-jun’s name was written there.
Awakened Lee Hyuk-jun.
The list had only a simple name.
It would be nice if it was the same name, but it was the Korean awakening in this world that Eve found out. There was only one awakened person named Hyukjun in the list.
“What happened?”
-There are several possible guesses, but they all have logical contradictions.
“Tell me.”
-This is a guess based on the assumption that the words of the awakened Yeongcheol are true.
Gyeonghoon nodded at Eve’s words.
If Yeongcheol had deceived everyone, it would have been a meaningless story, but there was no reason to deceive and it was impossible to deceive.
-The consciousness of the awakened Hyeokjun It may have been floating around with mana and then activated by the characteristics of the Yeongcheol Awakened.
– Or it may have been replaced by the characteristics of the Yeongcheol Awakening through doppelganger-like monsters.
– Although it is unscientific, the characteristics of the Yeongcheol Awakening may be a kind of soul summoning. …
Eve didn’t want to even mention the last guess, so she hesitated.
-But he recognized the master. He said that we had met again. After meeting me, the master was always with me, and it was only after I met the master that he awakened. . Logically, it makes no sense.
“Couldn’t there have been people just like me in this world?”
-The probability is not very high. Although the two worlds are very similar, they are not completely the same. The presidents at the same time were different, and the company names were slightly different. -There is a small possibility that there
is a person like the owner, but the probability of doing the same thing with the same characteristics is a decimal point. It falls below:
“In the end, only the question remains….”
I thought I knew a little about mana and its characteristics, but I guess I was wrong.
Putting aside the remaining doubts, Kyung-hoon entered the satellite control room for the first time in a long time.
The control room was different from before.
The machines were the same, but all the old cathode ray tubes had been replaced with the latest displays.
-I also wanted to change the control device, but I didn’t have enough time.
It was a place created by the world’s most powerful country. There was no way it could be changed that easily.
The display was on and all the lights on the control panel were on.
The display had several waveforms on the screen along with a world map.
It was the orbit of the satellites I had seen before.
Kyung-hoon took out his cell phone and connected it to the terminal on the central control panel.
-I will connect the Mana satellite.
The orbits of the satellites drawn on the screen disappeared and dots began to appear on the map.
There were more gray dots than before. Gray dots were not only in Korea but all over the world.
The newly increased gray dots were monsters that Kyung-hoon had dealt with over the past two years.
However, among the gray dots, there were some that Kyung-hoon had nothing to do with.
Many spots that Kyung-hoon had not processed, such as Manchuria, Africa, and Arab countries, had turned gray.
“They’re all people who crossed dimensions, right? “Choose a list excluding the ones I caught in our world.”
-All right.
As expected, it was a good thing I came here.
I felt like I could quickly find out the location of the monster that crossed the dimension.
While Eve was checking, Kyung-hoon opened his eyes and looked at the screen.
One dot looked a little strange.
“What is that?”
-What do you mean?
“The pink dot is the monarch level and the red dot is the overlord level, right?”
-yes.
“Check out that red dot over there in central America. “It must be a reference to the monster in Yellowstone.”
A white speck was writhing around the red dot that was alone in North America.
-Yellowstone is correct. Mana is rapidly rising there now.
Kyunghoon looked at the screen with a serious expression.
The white spots were gradually turning white and gathering more and more around the red dot. It was as if a monster was drawing mana.
*
Yellowstone at the same time.
Yellowstone, where human touch disappeared a long time ago, has returned to its original appearance, covered with geysers and forests.
Although Yellowstone had returned to nature, there were no animals or monsters in the center where the geyser was located.
It was because of the monster there.
It was not an incredibly large monster like other monarch-level monsters.
And it didn’t look as scary as other monsters.
It was just strange.
It was a human-like monster, but it didn’t look like a human.
There was a head, but no face or hair was visible. There were limbs, but no fingers or toes were visible.
The body was no different.
The monster’s entire body was made up of a plain black shape. At first glance, it looked like an alien doll covered in black plastic.
Quagwagwagwagwa.
Yellowstone had been quiet for a long time because of the monster, but now it was noisy as if hit by a typhoon.
A huge whirlwind was swirling around the area.
Trees were uprooted and geyser water rose into the sky.
And mana was flowing towards the monster.
Quaguaidae.
Or more accurately, they flocked towards the monster’s stubby hand extending downward.
The flooded mana was being transformed in the monster’s hands.
A black hole was forming under the monster’s hand.
It was a dimension door.
However, there were no patterns visible either under the black hole or anywhere else.
This black hole was not made of manazine.
It was a portal created with the characteristics of the overlord.
The black hole grew bigger and bigger.
