“You don’t need to act as a Lifer . Become the subject of the mission . You could become the subject . You wouldn’t be a human at that moment . ”
Cha Jun Sung blinked .
If he understood correctly, this means he would take on the role of a mutant being hunted by Lifers .
‘My identity won’t be revealed if I kill Tyrant in my mutant form . ’
There are more pros than cons no matter how he thinks about it, but there is a fatal problem here . The operation is a failure if he can’t figure this out .
“Will that be possible when Borteth knows my mutant form?”
“Only us three supervisors know about this . The general manager used his authority to put a gag order . But the probability that Borteth follows this is low, since going against the rules is his specialty . That’s why I’ll keep Borteth marked while you do it . It’ll be about a couple months . ”
As long as the supervisors don’t get involved, the restrictions on Cha Jun Sung’s actions disappear .
It becomes an environment in which he can focus on Tyrant .
“Is ‘Tyrant’s death’ all you’re asking for? There’s nothing more, right?”
“Borteth is abusing his authority as a supervisor . If Tyrant dies, he not only won’t have the power to reinvest, but he can’t use another card so he won’t be able to act so freely . It won’t be easy . You know that, right?”
He knows well .
Jigneon wants Tyrant’s death .
In other words, results .
He needs to fight Lifers who came in with him as well . If the situation worsens, he might need to face Bloody Kingdom Rankers .
‘That means I can’t get help . ’
His mutation is a secret he can’t tell anyone . If he fights as a mutant, he can’t get help from his friends . He needs to resolve it himself .
‘Will I be able to control the mutant?’
The superior mutant exercises strong dominance over the inferior mutant . Instilling absolute fear allows a king to reign . Strength is everything with the law of the jungle .
If Cha Jun Sung is able to control mutants in the vicinity with his level 8 dominion, it would be of great help .
‘Funny . ’
To be considering it after getting dragged here against his will, he can’t get the drift of whether he should understand or not .
“It’ll become extremely bothersome once Borteth decides to disadvantage you in earnest . You need to cut out his **** before that happens . I’ll keep his eyes and ears covered for the time being . You have nothing to worry about . ”
Jigneon is saying that he will take care of the troublesome aspects so that he can handle the general mission .
“I’ll just ask one thing . If this ends in success, will Borteth find out that I acted as your pawn?”
“He’ll probably find out once his eyes and ears become uncovered, but didn’t I tell you? I’ll watch your back so that he won’t be able to try again . ”
Cha Jun Sung interpreted Jigneon’s tone, even though he pretended not to .
He didn’t speak definitively . He twisted the end subtly . It means that he’ll do his best, but he might not become a perfect defense .
‘It looks like I’ll be promoted from a subject to vent on to an enemy if this is a success . ’
His friends’ knowledge is too limited for him to discuss with them .
There are too many secrets .
He’ll need to consult with Odin .
Odin could be on Jigneon’s side, but he can just consult with him since he is leaning towards accepting .
“I want to go home . I’ll contact you within a few days, so let me go . ”
“Alright . ”
Jigneon flicked his fingers once more .
Then a return gate appeared next to Cha Jun Sung . It was like a switch .
Cha Jun Sung lightly greeted Jigneon and went inside .
“I’m neutral . ”
Since he can’t show how he really feels, the ways to show his sincerity are very limited . All he can do is hope that the other person believes him .
***
Cha Jun Sung returned home, took a refreshing shower, and slept deeply .
He doesn’t feel mental or physical fatigue with his superhuman mind and body .
It is out of habit .
He has become a mutant, but his habits linger .
Cha Jun Sung rested for a day, and then called Odin . Jigneon must have reactivated the system he blocked the day before, because a response came right away .
[The three supervisors have very distinct personalities . Jigneon is a monotypical scientist as you said . Borteth is… Gabenu is playful . ]
Odin didn’t mention Borteth . Cha Jun Sung doesn’t need him to tell him .
“Anyway, what you’re saying is that he isn’t one to stab me in the back . ”
[To Jigneon, you’re the Lifer who has the highest chance of showing him the end of Life Mission . And that’s accomplishing it with your own strength . There’s no reason for him to use you in a negative direction . ]
“Is he that trustworthy?”
[Jigneon and Gabenu don’t mistreat helpers . They acknowledge that we have unique privileges and treat us as beings of value . ]
Jigneon must be trustworthy from the way Odin is talking about him .
It was a choice between accepting and rejecting . Since he’s made up his mind, he’ll do it properly .
[Acceptance delivered . Mission adjustment following acceptance complete . You will be able to check the mission description once you choose a departure date . Lifers will be able to see after the mission has been settled . ]
“Departure… Will it take another couple months?”
[Time is a flexible factor . It is difficult to say what the duration will be . That isn’t something I can control . ]
“Then I’ll just rest for a week before I go . I feel bad going right away . ”
They took care of a big case, so Park Jin Hyuk’s group won’t be going into any missions for the time being .
He’ll hang out with them for a bit and slip away .
[Would you like to see the primary missions that have been configured for a week later? There can be slight subsequent fluctuations . ]
“Huh? Yeah . ”
[Level Advancement Mission: Black Devil]
– Goal: Attainment
– Description: Unknown . A Black Devil about which nothing, from where it came from to how it formed, has claimed the western region of North America as its territory . Evil Queen and her 4 daughters have gone missing and other level 8s are hiding all their traces . The Black Devil’s appearance is the medium for a new war cloud hovering over North America . Find the existence of the Black Devil wandering somewhere in the west, and restore North America to the hand of mutants!
– Reward: 8,000,000,000 points . Lucky box .
“Am I the Black Devil?”
[It is an appropriate title for you . Don’t you like it? We adapted the name from Asia’s Black Demon because you are similar . ]
Cha Jun Sung flinched momentarily . How would the supervisors react if they found out that Black Demon and he were the same people?
Potential level 9 . Two Black Demons . They won’t know if he doesn’t tell them .
“It makes me cringe . ”
The introduction itself wasn’t that special, but the description made him cringe . 8,000,000,000 designed reward points . It is advancement . It is a bit burdensome .
Cha Jun Sung alone cannot handle advancement abilities .
Jigneon measured it like this because he is a Lifer .
Knowing the enemy and the self always results in wins . Cha Jun Sung knows about Lifers in detail . This is because there is variety in the number of cases .
“There aren’t many advancements . I don’t see the Vanessa mission . Didn’t she survive?”
[She is dead . ]
“Why?”
[I don’t know either . The supervisors will know . ]
She had been injured, but not enough to die . It seems like something is there, but he halted his curiosity .
He doesn’t care whether Vanessa is dead or alive .
“Maybe it’s because Vanessa is dead, but there are four advancements . Does that mean there are only four opportunities to advance if you can’t find a hidden advancement like with Deep Sea Teeth?”
It is 5 including Cha Jun Sung’s Black Devil .
All of them except 1 are for 8 billion points . The mission with the most points is for 15 billion .
It has to be high . It is related to the cocoon from Africa .
“What will it feel like to become the subject of a mission?”
Cha Jun Sung used to kill mutants, and now the situation has reversed so that he needs to kill Lifers .
He won’t say that he won’t kill freely . He will do what he sets out to do . Tyrant doesn’t have remorse or a conscience .
“Black Devil . Black Devil? It sticks . I’ll become a Devil . I’ll figure out my abilities for certain as a mutant not a Lifer . ”
He’ll fly as a mutant this time . He will become the winner .
“Your mission is a fail . The score is annihilation . ”
