Living in a World That Is Destined for Destruction

＜ Episode 9 ＞

“Hut!”

“Kill!”

Surprised by the sudden explosion, the gang members reflexively rushed to where John was, but soon stopped.

“be careful! Things must not go bad!”

An urgent cry of gulag made their bodies stop, and that moment was enough for John.

bang!

“Keah!”

It was similar to the previous binge, but the results revealed were distinctly different.

The exoskeleton, which had enough strength to have only been scratched in the fight against the Carpaccio gang, was pierced in one shot, and one member of the organization was ejected from the battlefield.

“what?!”

“gun?”

Surprised by the unexpected situation, Gulak shouted as he scanned the dust with a red glow pouring out of his eyes.

“There is no one! find!”

“Yes?”

When I heard that the opponent in front of me just now had disappeared, everyone put on a dumbfounded expression.

These are all combatants picked and picked by the Gulak family.

As these fighters are, each and every implant implanted in the body is expensive, which is hard to find in the slums, and it is hard to believe that John disappeared after fooling their sensors.

bang!

Perseok!

I couldn’t even scream this time.

The moment it touched, the bullet released 10,000 joules of energy, starting from the back of the head and blasting through the head completely, leaving only traces of the head above the neck.

“…in the first place.”

Ting. Ting.

At the time when Gulag and the members of the organization were in a daze, John’s voice rang along with a light noise.

Seruk.

Everyone’s eyes followed the voice, and John appeared in the empty space outside the encirclement, as if painting paint in the air.

“You look at naked humans so funny.”

“Optical camouflage!”

“How did you get it?”

Luna’s technology was developing endlessly, and if you include her lost skills, she is not envious of any magic.

Among them, of course, there was technology for optical aesthetics, and it is said that it is widely used in the upper districts, but isn’t this a slum?

No one welcomed the flow of such dangerous technology into the slums, so it was locked with some deadly technology, and surprisingly it appeared here.

“What. It’s not perfect.”

It’s an optical aesthetic device that I managed to get with Gilbert’s connections, but of course it’s not a normal item.

10 minutes at most.

Having paid for Slip’s vibrator-controlling implant for such a defective item, the loss was insignificant.

But only one life.

It was an investment to protect the one and only precious thing in the world, so John tried to soothe his bitter stomach, and since John’s preparations were being used properly, he was satisfied with that.

bang!

“Keah!”

While he drew everyone’s attention with his somewhat drowsy voice, another gang member flew back with another explosion.

“You bastard!”

“You son of a b*tch!”

bang!

Kwajijik!

“Aagh!”

The shotgun fired again without any sign of it, and this time it ended with one arm flying off, perhaps because I was a bit alarmed, but that alone was shocking enough.

“Tsk.”

Ting. Ting.

The gaze of Gullak and his gang looking at John loading the bullet after bending the barrel so naturally was completely different from before.

The eyes that used to look down on naked humans are nowhere to be found, and what is contained in them is the tension and subtle fear of facing a formidable enemy.

The way John stood, his low tone, and the air he exuded combined to keep them from moving.

‘It works.’

No matter how much they plastered it with implants and changed it to a prosthetic body, it became a shape that was hard to see as human, but in the end, the root is human.

People’s psychology tends to respond sensitively to external reactions, and those who focused on this established techniques and studies to manipulate it with several actions and devices.

A series of operations called gaslighting or brainwashing, the techniques of profiling and interrogation, and hypnosis also fall into this category.

It’s not that difficult for John to stop gangsters in the slums who don’t have a high position or built their own mental world.

clap.

‘This far.’

It was satisfying enough to kill three people and put one out of action in an instant raid, but John licked his lips.

This is the main story and it will be a very difficult fight.

John’s prediction was correct, so Gulak and the rest of the organization, who had been standing in a daze at the sound of the bullets being reloaded, flinched and glared at John with fearful eyes.

“…what is that gun?”

Gulak’s gaze turned to the double-barreled shotgun in John’s hand.

No, in the first place, Gulak doubted whether it was a shotgun or not.

It is because the caliber is much larger than that of a general shotgun, and even if it is a slug bullet, it does not make sense to crush members of one’s organization clad in reinforced alloys with one shot.

“It’s just a shotgun.”

John continued, carrying a heavy shotgun over his shoulder that was much longer than a normal gun and was almost 1 meter 50.

“…you’re a talented person. Are you a person with physical enhancement abilities?”

At Gulak’s words, the faces of all members of the organization hardened.

No matter how you look at it, John’s appearance of handling a gun that seemed impossible for a naked human being to use was so light that he could not be called an ordinary human, so Gulag’s conclusion was reasonable, and the gang members understood Gulag’s words at once.

“Well?”

A mischievous smile appeared on John’s face.

“If you think so, it must be so.”

After turning his attention to the strange words, John’s figure began to disappear.

“this!”

“catch!”

Surprised, the gang members rushed at John, but John was already there and only their voices rang out.

“You should have just left when I said I would give you something.”

bang!

“Kaak!”

A 50BMG bullet was fired from a specially made large-caliber shotgun, and a specially made armor-piercing round penetrated the reinforced alloy and exploded inside.

“Dodge from the line of fire!”

Everyone moved in a hurry at Gulak’s urgent cry, but no matter how experienced they were, they were still just gangsters in the slums.

bang!

Recognizing the line of fire and moving in an instant was not an easy task even for a skilled soldier, and one more headless corpse was added to this attack.

“You mentioned magic. Didn’t you know that I would surrender meekly after hearing such terrifying words?”

“There!”

One member of the group, who was almost in a state of panic, stretched out his arms in the direction of the voice, foaming at the mouth.

Chunk!

Both of the bizarrely thick forearms were opened, and a 9mm barrel protruded, but firepower was poured out fiercely within no time.

Tutu tu tu tu tu tu!

“aaa!”

The submachine gun, which fires 1,200 rounds per minute, is pulled to full, and the accuracy rate is not expected at all, but the ability to control space is excellent.

T-D-D-DIC.

A total of 240 bullets, 120 on each side, stirred the space, and the barrel, which poured out all the bullets, became red-hot and called for reloading.

Smoke billowing bullet casings piled up under the feet of the organization members, and silence reigned in the vacant lot for a moment.

“Did you catch it?”

The moment the mouth of the organization member, who was watching the devastated space with a tense face, opened.

bang!

“Keah!”

A bullet that flew from an unexpected direction pierced his side, and the bullet that crushed the reinforced alloy exploded as it was, spraying inflammables and setting it on fire.

“That, crackle, I mean, crackle. You shouldn’t have.”

A voice mixed with noise rang out from the direction the bullet had swept away, and only then did Gulak and his gang realize what had happened.

“···speaker!”

“answer.”

bang!

“Kuuk!”

With a low voice and another roar, the bullets dug in, but this time they failed to achieve their goal.

“…no doubt!”

I tried to create chaos and kill Gulag while the enemy was agitated, but I didn’t succeed.

“…This is amazing. Is it really magic?”

The 50-caliber bullets that used to crush members of the organization wrapped in high-quality shells in one shot failed to pierce Gulak’s torso.

A magical pattern appeared to protect Gulak’s body, and a bullet aimed at the back of his neck was blocked by the magic line.

“Kuh!”

However, the kinetic energy from the impact did not go anywhere, so Gulak’s large body staggered, but that alone was phenomenal enough.

“Turn on the heat sensor! You won’t be able to do anything with the temperature!”

Even in a state of shock, the members of the organization who remained at the voice of Gulag shouted and activated the heat sensor attached to the artificial eyeball.

One arm was blown off, and the vision of the organization member, who was distorted in pain, reversed and a white and red world unfolded.

As he quickly scanned the surroundings, brooding over pain, anger, and hatred, a red, solid human figure entered his eyes, and he did not hesitate.

“die!”

Aww!

The moment he roughly sprayed his remaining arm, a saw blade shot out from his wrist, releasing vicious energy with a mechanical sound.

Kiyiying!

The chainsaw, which was spinning at high speed as if it would tear the world apart, stretched out as if it would crush everything in the world, leaping through space in an instant and digging into the point where it was shining the most red.

“How is it! ···uh?”

As the 3,999RPM chain saw dug into the vicinity of what was supposed to be the heart, it would have been an instant death, but the man who screamed in joy couldn’t help but put on a puzzled expression.

hand taste.

He didn’t feel the taste of the touch that had to be transmitted to his brain through the artificial nerve on a steel saw blade, and at that moment his head became a blank page, but nothing after that.

bang!

Perseok!

A person whose head has been blown off cannot continue his thoughts.

“what! What did you do!”

Gulak exclaimed in surprise, and the three remaining gang members also turned white.

They also saw what they saw with the heat sensor, and were astonished at the reality that they could not believe at all.

“it is a secret.”

And as if mocking them, John’s voice began to echo all over the clearing.

With small speakers placed everywhere and his voice echoing, it was impossible to pinpoint John’s location.

clap.

Ting.

The sound of the shotgun’s body snapping and shell casings falling echoed through the clearing, and although it was a very common sound in the slums, at this moment it was no different from the devil whispering.

“Should I say boss? I didn’t know you were hiding such a number. yes. You have to be different from your subordinates.”

It was a normal way of speaking, but the gang members who remained in a strangely sarcastic way looked at Gulag without realizing it.

“···bloke!”

Seeing John engage in psychological warfare even in a situation where he had a complete advantage, Gulak thought that even if he thought something wrong, he was wrong for a long time.

“Then let’s get rid of the subordinates first and talk. You have the face of a boss, but you can’t show a weak side, can you?”

Clap!

Gullak had no choice but to distort his face at the agitated face and the look of his subordinates who seemed a little distrustful.
