I Picked a Mobile From Another World - Chapter 281

Episode 281 [ Land of Destruction (4) ]

Chii Iik. thud.

The golems stopped moving.

The golems, who had been building and destroying cities without humans for a long time, were able to rest for the first time.

Giza Pyramids. The tomb of the Egyptian emperor finally became quiet after a long time without humans.

Even after taking the liquid monster’s mana stone, Gyeonghun did not leave the emperor’s tomb.

He was looking at the mural left on the ceiling.

“It’s going to change from here, right?”

The beginning of the mural was not that different from the murals Kyung-hoon had seen in his own world.

But the mural behind the scene he was now looking at had changed.

There was a painting depicting bright light and the light illuminating the emperor and the kingdom.

The emperor accepted the light and the kingdom was also surrounded by light.

There was a mana stone embedded in the center of the picture representing light. It was clear that light meant mana.

‘Mana appeared in this dimension a really long time ago.’

The difference was not a few years or decades. Mana appeared here thousands of years ago.

Unfortunately, it was impossible to tell how Mana appeared just from the picture.

Did someone give it to them, or did they discover and invent mana, or did another dimension and passage open up?

Anyway, the world changed after Mana appeared.

People gained strength and a civilization using mana and manajine developed.

The ancient civilization became the Mana civilization and spread out into the world.

After that, it wasn’t much different from the emperor’s murals that I had seen on the way here.

The kingdom was seen conquering other primitive civilizations and expanding into the Middle East, Africa, and Europe.

Kyung-hoon, who had been looking at the mural for a while, felt a doubt.

I couldn’t see what was supposed to be there.

“What about the monarch? “Where is the monster?”

There were murals depicting animals that had become stronger just as humans had become stronger, but they were not that different from their original appearance.

There were one or two pictures of animals hunting slightly different animals, but there were no pictures of fierce fights with monsters in the murals.

‘Are you sure this place hasn’t been damaged by monsters?’

However, he also saw the monsters that froze the desert and caught the liquid monster a little while ago.

“Ultimately, it must have gone wrong at some point…”

Unfortunately, such content was not shown in the mural here.

Instead, there was a rather unusual picture drawn at the end of the mural.

It was a huge tower made by many people gathered together.

A tower towering over the city.

It was a huge tower, much larger than a pyramid, and seemed to be heading toward God rising through the clouds.

And the mural even showed the location where the tower was being built.

“Is it Iraq?”

I took out a map and compared it, and it was above the Persian Gulf. Babil Province, southern Iraq. The location was indicated:

“Would it have been called Babylon in Egypt?”

Whatever the name, after looking at this place, the place to go was decided.

If it was such a great history, it was clear that at least the story of how this civilization fell would remain.

After taking pictures of all the patterns and murals on the floor with a camera, Gyeonghoon placed them in the center with an embarrassed look on his face. He looked at the standing woman.

A translucent hologram was standing there, looking into space with an expressionless face.

The hologram had not moved at all since it caught the liquid monster.

Kyung-hoon shook his head.

If he could move the hologram, he could get more information. It seemed like he could do it.

But unfortunately, Kyung-hoon didn’t know how to move.

Even if he shouted or waved his hands, there was no response.

The patterns for making items that Kyung-hoon knew were very different from the patterns drawn on the floor.

And they were very complicated. It was hard for Kyung-hoon to understand. It was impossible.

“I don’t have Eve, so I have no choice but to leave it to other experts…”

Although he felt sorry for the emperor who was sleeping in this tomb, Gyeonghun diligently inspected the pyramid. The

emperor’s tomb. The passage, the queen’s tomb, and other rooms and traps. Even though

he found several Managines and Magic Stones that were still in operation, he still couldn’t figure out what they were used for.

After filming all the Managines, Kyung-hoon removed the wall with small Managines drawn on it and captured it in sub-space.

Then, he captured the movements . He grabbed a small golem that had stopped and came back again.

“Oh my god, what is this?”

An Hyeong-min, who came back from an outing that day, made a bewildered face when he saw the large statue standing in the middle of the living room.

Gyeong-hoon scratched his head.

This time, he returned home properly, but the golem was a problem.

Now it was time to find a separate place to stay. ***

Researchers at the company Kyung-hoon had invested in cheered when they saw the items he had brought in. The

robot development company gaped when they saw the golem, and researchers at Eden AI looked at the photos and the manajin Kyung-hoon had ripped off .

He rushed at him,

“O God Investor, greater than God! Where did you get such a gift!”

The CEO was in a daze and was saying random things, and the cold-looking female researcher was also licking the photo with an ecstatic expression. The

office seemed to be engulfed in madness.

“Where did you get this?”

After a while, the CEO came to his senses and asked Gyeong-hoon,

“I am a fairly high-level awakened person. I found it at a hunting ground. You must keep this a secret. If word spreads, you may not be able to obtain more.”

“Can you get more of this?”

Everyone looked at him in surprise at Kyung-hoon’s words. There

were still holograms and patterns left inside the pyramid. Plus, there were a lot of pyramids. We were able to bring enough of the necessary data.

“We will keep it an absolute secret.”

Following the representative’s confirmation, the female researcher lit up her eyes and said,

“If anyone tries to talk, I will suffocate them all.”

Seeing everyone nodding their heads, it seemed like there was no need to worry about rumors spreading.

“But how should I determine the cost of the materials I’m handing over now?”

It was a company he was investing in, but he couldn’t give out this information for free.

To Kyung-hoon’s words, the CEO responded,

“Would you like me to give you all of my shares? Do you just want to own the company?”

No one objected to the CEO’s words. In fact, there were people who offered to give their shares.

Everyone didn’t seem to care about the company’s shares or money. Everyone was excited because AI seemed possible.

Kyung-hoon sighed.

It seemed like if he made a mistake, he would end up taking over the company. Kyung-hoon didn’t want to run the company without Eve.

“I will reorganize it on my own.”

“Please do so. Then we will excuse ourselves first.”

The researchers rushed out of the conference room. Everyone seemed to have no thoughts other than research.

“Is this a rough start? Then I should move too…”

Kyung-hoon also got up from his seat. There was still a lot of work left to do. There was no time to rest.

*

And several weeks passed.

Deputy Director Eom of the National Intelligence Service was receiving reports from naturalized awakeners as always.

“…In that way, there are a total of three companies that naturalized awakeners invested in. Currently, the companies have resolved their fund crunch. “We are actively researching it.”

The conductor tilted his head at his subordinate’s words.

“How much did you invest? Did you have that much money?”

“The money paid by the Ministry of National Defense during the Kaesong Plain hunting was quite large. “It appears that they paid in cash instead of searching for buried mana stones.”

“Well, I guess it couldn’t be helped. I wouldn’t have been able to make an appointment with an A-level awakened person… So, aside from the investment matter, what about other reports?”

The money actually invested was much more than the money paid by the Ministry of Defense, but they were unable to find out the actual amount invested.

“There was a deal with a black marketeer. “I had a direct deal with the Korean manager.”

“I knew that too. Was there more information leaked? “It came from above?”

“…sorry.”

Deputy Director Eom shook his head. It had been quite some time. These days, security is still maintained, so there seemed to be no need to pressure my subordinates.

“it’s okay. But it’s all outdated. “What are you doing now?”

“We are currently hunting high-level monsters with a large guild. Jiri Mountain knight-level monsters and Ganghwa Island monsters have been dealt with.”

The conductor nodded at his subordinate’s words. This too was something he knew.

The guild mentioned by his subordinate was the guild he introduced to the naturalized awakened person.

Thanks to this, Deputy Director Eom was also able to make a lot of money.

“And it appears that they are separately searching for a private home and a warehouse/factory. “It’s because of item manufacturing.”

The subordinate’s report is finished. There didn’t seem to be any problem. It took a while to get out of the safe house, but considering what I had done so far, I felt like I could just leave it alone.

“You’re doing well. “Do you think it would be okay to lower the surveillance level at this level?”

The subordinate looked a little embarrassed at Director Eom’s words.

“That’s true, but… there are quite a few empty moments where his whereabouts are unknown.”

There were many cases where the awakened person suddenly disappeared and then appeared in an unexpected place.

“It’s not that you disappeared, it’s that you missed your goal, right?”

“…That could be true. “We often miss our targets because we can only report to acquaintances and monitor from a distance.”

Director Eom looked out the window at his subordinate’s words, which seemed a little unfair.

The reason why surveillance was so lax was because of the instructions given by Deputy Director Eom.

Surveillance was minimized because of a promise to Kyung-hoon not to track or monitor him.

“Still, that seems to have made the agents worried.”

Director Eom’s expression turned strange at his subordinate’s words.

Recently, several disappearance cases have occurred around awakened people.

Several foreign spies who had infiltrated Korea and members of a renowned criminal guild disappeared from the area where he lived.

Although they were not officially known, they were disappearance cases that were widely known in this world.

Deputy Director Eom could clearly tell who he was suspicious of from his subordinate’s tone of voice.

Deputy Director Eom cleared his throat. It was inevitable that I would be suspicious, but I couldn’t just question it based on suspicion.

Moreover, he was an awakened person who was of great help to the country and Deputy Director Eom.

Now that he was receiving attention not only from the Blue House but also from political parties, he could not let such flimsy suspicions ruin the work.

“Lower the surveillance level. Be at the same level as the important awakened person. “Reduce your reporting.”

“…All right.”

*

Around the time the National Intelligence Service lowered the surveillance level of returning awakened individuals. Agents of the CIA’s Korean branch were conducting operations at the risk of death.

Operation name: Tiger Hunting.

As it was a dangerous operation, it had a quite scary name.

“Can’t we change the name of the operation?”

“I want to do that too, but what can I do with what was decided from above?”

“Anyway, what is tiger hunting? “No matter how hard you pray, it’s not easy, but hunting…”

CIA agents were standing on a mountain path near Seoul, talking with gloomy expressions.

Since the mountain road was closed after the monster appeared, there were no people watching, but it looked quite pathetic.

But they didn’t think that way at all.

There were more than one or two people who approached without knowing what to do and then went missing.

There was no murder or shootout, but to them, disappearance was no different from death.

How dare you approach such a dangerous world’s most powerful awakened person and recommend him to become naturalized.

No matter how much they thought about it, it seemed clear that they would be included in the list of missing persons.

They looked up the mountain with gloomy faces. This mountain path was a course where awakened people often walked.

There were many cases where they went in the morning and returned at night, but it was impossible to track them because entry to the mountain was prohibited.

The two had been waiting here for a while for the awakened person to come down.

“I think I’ll be late. “How about coming back next time?”

An unexpected person responded to the agent’s words.

“It’s not too late.”

“Huh!”

was the sound coming from behind. The surprised agents put their hands on their chests and turned around.

There was no one there just a moment ago. The person he was looking for was standing behind them.

“They’re from the CIA, right? I’ve been waiting.”

Kyung-hoon said while looking at the two people.

The agents’ faces brightened. Luckily, it seemed like they wouldn’t go missing.
