The time when the night sun covered Berzan 02.
Isabel returned home after finishing her hard work.
She sat down on the old bed and began to unwrap the bandages on her feet. When I took off the bandage I had been wearing all day for work, my toe that was regenerating inside the hardened crust was revealed.
Coldbloods possess various types of internal organ characteristics as a unique feature of their race. Thanks to this, they can adapt well even in harsh environments and survive for long periods of time even if they are starving for a long time. Even if you lose a part of your body like you do now, recovery is possible if you consume enough nutrition over a long period of time.
“….”
Even though she had superior physical abilities compared to humans, she was not happy. No matter how great the crisis was, she survived because of this cursed body. It was always her job to watch the deaths of her precious people.
‘But it’s not long now.’
She rewrapped the bandage on her recovering toe and sat in front of the table in the corner of the room. Then he took out a tombstone from a drawer.
It was a tombstone shaped like a diamond on a playing card.
She pulled out the wires that stretched under the table and connected them to the tombstone. Then the tombstone radiated light and floated in the air.
“You’re late.”
The voice coming from the tombstone had been altered, so it was difficult to determine whether it was a man or a woman. Of course, Isabelle knows who the owner of that voice is.
“I’m late because I have a lot of work to do. sorry.”
“What is the status of the ‘tool’?”
“The suitability has increased to 65%.”
?65%? “Why did it suddenly become so slow?”
“I can’t confirm that. However, if you look at the body’s response, it is slowly rising.”
At the end of the day, it was her job to report any details related to the ‘plan’ to the person behind the tombstone. Today was the same as usual.
But the other person didn’t seem to think that way.
“There shouldn’t be any setbacks in the plan. Plans are already being shaken due to unexpected variables. If there is one more error here, there will be people who leave.”
“….”
“The reason we saved you is because of your ‘eyes.’ “If you’re blind, there’s no reason to be together anymore.”
Isabel fell silent at the cold warning coming from the tombstone.
It was thanks to the person she was currently contacting that she was able to hide in Berzan 02 while being chased by the ruling faction’s rankers.
The reason the opponent didn’t kill her was because of the abilities she had.
?Name: Telepathy Communication Seat
Status: Operating
…(Other information available)?
The world seen by Isabel, the 22nd Cold Blood ranker, was different from others.
The world she perceives is information itself. An object that appears to others as just a tombstone floating in the air looks different in her eyes.
What is its name, what is its condition, what is its purpose, who is it contacting, etc. All information related to the tombstone is transmitted to the brain through the eyes.
‘Cheonan of all things’.
The privilege she received is the ability to read hidden information in objects. You can find out whether the opponent is a ranker, what abilities she has, and whether she approached her with hostility.
However, it was not completely omnipotent because information could only be seen with the naked eye.
In fact, the reason she became chased by rankers was because she was unable to resolve that weakness. The ruling faction’s rankers attacked her colleagues who were moving with her with overwhelming force. She was the only one who managed to escape thanks to her special privilege.
The problem was the family she was taking with her. It was not easy to move secretly with dozens of people. She could have hidden safely if she had abandoned them, but she didn’t.
Because it was enough to let someone precious disappear before my eyes.
Thanks to her abilities, she was able to run away for quite a long time even with 40 of her compatriots. But in the end, he was caught by a cult ranker.
Just when she thought everything was wrong, the person who introduced herself as Cynthia made her an offer she couldn’t refuse.
To serve their plans. If you do that, I will give you what you want.
“We are mobilizing all available resources to make the plan happen. “If you fall out, I will have no choice but to reconsider getting your twin sister back.”
When the other person brought up details about the contract, Isabel got up from her chair. And then he knelt down in front of the tombstone floating in the air.
“…I will keep in mind that something like this will never happen again.”
That monument doesn’t have a function to check the appearance of the person you’re contacting, but it doesn’t matter. Her every move will be monitored through a hidden surveillance device in the dorm.
As expected, when she took an attitude of submission, a small sigh was heard from beyond the tombstone.
“Well, okay. There is no way the ‘tool’ can deviate from the planned route. There’s no need to do something stupid. Just report to me what your condition is.”
“I understand.”
“Oh, and the last one. “My toe hurt. Why is that?”
Isabel paused at the other person’s question. Her fingertips trembled so slightly that it was hard to notice unless you looked closely.
Finally, she opened her mouth.
“I was pricked by a cactus thorn while preparing food at the hotel.”
“Cactus? “Can you send me some medicine?”
“It’s okay because the necrotic part has already been removed. “With this body, you will get better soon.”
“Tsk, be careful.”
She lied casually.
The wild cactus growing in Berzan 02 contains a terrible paralyzing poison. Since it is used as an ingredient in high-quality alcohol, accidents like the one she mentioned often occur. Therefore, the other person did not seem to be particularly suspicious.
“Then that’s it for today.”
“Thank you.”
“Oh, and what I said earlier, I said it loudly on purpose because I felt like I was shaking. “Don’t worry too much.”
“It’s okay.”
“okay. Just remember that we are the only humans in this world. The plan is for all of us too. “Okay?”
“Yes.”
With those words, the light on the tombstone went out. She got up and cleaned up the headstone.
“Ugh.”
Because of the dormitory’s surveillance system, even anger cannot be expressed carelessly. All she could do was grind her teeth as carefully as she did now.
‘Let’s hold on just a little longer.’
If her secret plan goes well, she has one less thing to worry about. If that happens, the scope of movement will be much wider than it is now.
‘It was unexpected that Seo-ah and Moff Park came.’
I thought that if I was alive, it would come someday. This is because the communication device that Seo-ah Choi had received still remained.
But I didn’t expect the timing to be this good. In addition, Moff Park, who was almost like an enemy in the game, came with him.
‘The orbital bombing that happened a while ago. It’s definitely because of him.’
She also saw improved Thunder Gods bombarding other cities. It is not uncommon for orbital weapons to bombard the most prosperous planet in an empire. Perhaps the cult took action to kill Moffak.
‘Over there, they think Moffak is dead.’
It stayed alive thanks to its camouflage properties. But instead of reporting the fact, Isabel chose to remain silent. Because it was to her advantage.
‘It would be nice to ask for help, but it would be difficult.’
Seo-ah wouldn’t know, but Mop Park will never help her.
I have seen many cases where players who came to this world became corrupted. If it’s the infamous Morph Park, then it’s more, it’s unlikely to be less. It should be considered fortunate that they did not ask you to give up your genetic essence and special benefits.
‘It’s the same this time too. I have to finish it alone.’
She put the tombstone back in the drawer and lay down on the bed.
‘wait. This time I must…’
Isabel fell asleep remembering her twin sisters, the people of her past who became her life and goals.
–
After spending the night on the airship, Mother Sky and I moved earlier than the time we had promised with Isabelle.
This is to get food to give to the cold blood slaves he is hiding.
‘No matter what, I need to restore my health to some extent.’
Coldbloods can survive without food and water for long periods of time. However, this literally means that only survival is possible. If you get injured or get sick while starving, you can easily lose your life.
It doesn’t matter whether we go with a ship-robbing operation like I thought, or a completely different operation. With a body like that, it would be difficult to borrow and use the power of Vortex One.
“This, this, and that. “Let’s buy here and go to the next store.”
As a wealthy water fortress, the quality of food was not particularly poor even though it was an area mainly frequented by slaves. From planetary products such as edible cacti and desert-dwelling beast meat to fruits and vegetables imported from other planets. I ate a variety of foods.
‘It reminds me of the old days.’
Before my accident, my father took me out every time he went shopping.
Because he enjoyed cooking, he always asked me what I wanted to eat before going into the grocery store. I learned this from a side view and once prepared a clumsy meal for my mother, who always came home late.
‘It was fun back then.’
And after my accident, everything changed completely. My parents’ relationship became extremely strained, and the only time I went out with my father was to go to the hospital.
Even after my body got better, my father occasionally cooked for me, but I couldn’t be as pure in joy as before.
“You know a lot about groceries, right?”
As I was thinking about the past that suddenly occurred to me, Heavenly Mother spoke to me.
“is it?”
“huh. “If you’re an Amorph, you’ll never have to cook food, so it’s surprising.”
“They’re both edible, so it’s good to know.”
“….”
“I’m kidding.”
I said it was a joke, but the amber eyes full of doubt were still looking at me. I glanced away and put a piece of meat into the backpack she was carrying.
“It’s sandraptor meat.”
“thanks.”
As MPS-05 began to eat, the backpack shook slightly.
As I walked around looking for food for the slaves, it was already time for the appointment. I headed to the alley where I met Isabelle yesterday.
When we arrived at the alley, a short Coldblood was waiting for us.
“You must have asked me to come when we met yesterday, right?”
“As you can see.”
I gently shook my hand holding the bulging basket full of food.
“I’m late because I had to buy food for the slaves.”
“I’m grateful, but…”
Isabel, who was about to say something to her heavenly mother, suddenly stopped. The boy’s eyes fell on the backpack that Mother of Heaven was wearing and then widened rapidly.
?Isabel??
Instead of answering, the guy raised his finger and pointed at the backpack. Wide-open eyes, trembling fingers. It was a reaction as if I had witnessed a ghost.
“That, that, de, back….”
?This??
Heavenly Mother asked with her eyes if it would be okay to show it to me now.
‘I was planning on showing it to you later, but I guess it’ll be okay.’
I nodded and she put her backpack on the floor. Then, a being with a woman’s face and metal skeletal legs similar to those of a spider crawled out from inside.
“Liberation. comfort.”
“I brought it here on purpose because I needed to revise my plan. This is the Mutant Screamer’s…”
“Uh, sister…!”
“huh?”
As the Heavenly Mother was about to explain, Isabel suddenly rushed in. At that sight, she quickly took a step back.
But what Isabel was targeting was neither her nor me. He grabbed MPS-05 that had just come out of his backpack.
“Ah ah ah ah ah–”
Isabel was crying.
Coldblood cannot shed tears, but he was expressing sadness and screams with his whole body. The scales that covered its body turned white, and strange cries that no human could make came out of its mouth.
‘Why are you doing that?’
Even though I’ve been through all sorts of things, I couldn’t understand the current situation.
?MPS-05, you said you were my sister? no way?”
At first, Heavenly Mother was just as perplexed as I was, but after seeing her reaction, she seemed to realize something.
“Do you know why you’re doing that?”
“…I heard it from a clan member before. “There are twin sisters among famous rankers.”
“Twins?”
After listening to her, something comes to mind.
Jason said before. He said he missed 22nd place and only caught his colleague.
And PS-111’s race is not human, but cold blood.
To be exact, a ‘clone’ of a certain Coldblood.
The being that Isabel is embracing is a sub-terminal of the Mutant Screamer created using the clone.
What does this mean?
‘Isabel is closely related to the original PS-111.’
“warning. Detection of physical attacks by other creatures.”
While I was lost in thought, MPS-05 continued to struggle.
But Isabel never let go.
The sight of them hugging each other without noticing that the scales on their arms have turned white.
I felt like a child who had recovered a precious treasure.
