Chapter 91.
Misunderstanding (1)
Combat robots scattered throughout the Plaza lost their balance and swayed unsteadily.
Screech.
Crash!
Thud!
Even the intact machines suddenly lurched sideways, scraping across the ground as they toppled over.
Blood Soo, startled, gazed out at the Plaza.
What… what is this?
‘Why are the robots suddenly acting like that?’
Though surprised, her telekinetic grip on the terrorist never wavered in the slightest.
Looking at the terrorist, I could see he couldn’t accept this situation—his expression was one of utter bewilderment.
‘Just from his face alone, I can tell something unexpected has happened….’
Unlike her, the terrorist understood the cause of this situation.
‘Someone used the green stone…!’
But how did they use it?
Where did those men who were being beaten down just moments ago disappear to?
That was the moment.
“Haru…!”
A woman rushed forward, extending her arms toward the child.
Swoosh.
Blood Soo thrust out a fork.
The telekinetic force concentrated at the fork’s tip swept across the ground, drawing a thin line beneath the woman’s feet.
Blood Soo indicated the space below the line with a tilt of her chin.
That line….
“Don’t cross it. Speak from there.”
The woman froze.
The people following behind her stopped as well.
The woman pointed at the child.
“That child is our son.”
Ah!
Blood Soo understood and twisted her wrist slightly.
Slide.
The child’s body glided toward his mother, carried by the telekinetic force.
The child’s mother caught him and held him close, bowing her head repeatedly.
“Thank you. Thank you so much.”
Wave.
Blood Soo waved her hand dismissively, signaling them to leave.
However….
“Thank you for saving us.”
“We almost didn’t make it.”
“We’re truly grateful.”
The hostages, trembling with fear moments before, now offered their thanks with relieved expressions.
Blood Soo exhaled sharply.
Enough already!
“I’m in the middle of a conversation with him right now.”
Even with her sharp retort, the people didn’t seem particularly frightened.
It was hardly surprising—the panda mask she wore was doing most of the work.
Ugh!
‘This is exactly why the cat mask is so much better!’
Even the Young Girl who had been cradled in her arms moments ago now wanted to return to her embrace.
Hmm….
‘Maybe this isn’t so bad after all.’
Then, collecting herself, she glanced toward Lim Doo-ho in the distance.
I’d made my point clearly, yet he gave no response.
What was that….
‘He’s actually considering it?’
Me, Blood Soo, the number one assassin?
Meanwhile, the terrorist’s gaze shifted to the combat robot beside him.
The exposed chest cavity.
The final card remaining.
He muttered under his breath.
‘I’m finished anyway, but for my comrades’ sake, I have to take this woman down!’
The terrorist’s lips twisted into a grimace.
Crunch.
He clenched his teeth with all his strength.
Convulsion after convulsion.
His body seized violently before folding forward.
Gurgling….
Black blood and foam spilled from the corners of his mouth simultaneously.
As Blood Soo lowered her head, Jacob’s voice erupted through her smart glasses.
What?
-Susan!
Blood Soo spoke quietly so the others couldn’t hear.
“What?”
-If this guy is the military robot commander….
“Don’t drag this out. Just tell me.”
-The moment the commander dies, everything except the pre-loaded data gets wiped! Never mind, just get out of there, fast!
Blood Soo’s gaze fixed on the combat robot’s exposed chest cavity.
A red light began flickering from within.
…What?
* * *
Meanwhile, across from the building, Lim Doo-ho’s head throbbed as he struggled to formulate a response.
Should I just say it wasn’t great?
She’d probably come at me with a fork right then and there.
No, in this situation, why was that woman pulling such nonsense instead of lending her strength?
Just as Lim Doo-ho clutched his head.
Hawkeye tightened his scope and spoke.
Mecromancer, sir.
-It appears the terrorist has committed suicide.
“What?”
As Lim Doo-ho focused, the terrorist convulsed briefly before his head drooped.
“He’s… dead?”
-Yes, sir.
Lim Doo-ho’s gaze snapped toward the combat robot with its chest cavity exposed.
‘The people are in danger!’
The moment that thought crossed his mind, his body launched forward.
Whoosh!!
As his feet pushed off the ground, the condensed Soul Bot behind his back erupted with propulsive force, pushing through the air as if it were a solid wall.
The footwork technique Isto had embedded in my mind moments ago unfolded naturally, as if it were my own—and in a manner entirely different from Blood Soo’s style.
In the blink of an eye, I entered the building and raised my hand toward the combat robot.
Whoosh!
The Soul Bot whirled and seeped into the robot’s open chest cavity.
Simultaneously, a schematic materialized in my mind.
The power line connecting the missile launcher to the power core.
‘I need to find it and sever it.’
As the Soul Bot wedged itself into the robot’s internal crevices and made contact with the circuit.
‘Found it!’
Crack!
As I clenched my fist, the power line severed.
Whirrrrr….
Only then did the combat robot collapse limply.
However.
To the onlookers unaware of what had transpired, it appeared as though the masked man had simply appeared and the robot had stopped for no reason.
“Where did that guy come from?”
“Wait, the robot stopped?”
Blood Soo was the only one who witnessed the entire process of me rushing in and shutting down the combat robot.
But….
Even she couldn’t discern how I had managed to stop the combat robot.
Jacob, who was watching through her smart glasses, asked.
—What did you just do?
“I have no idea.”
—Did you stop it with telekinesis like you usually do?
“No, it’s something different. As far as I know, telekinesis can’t do that.”
—One thing’s for certain though.
“What’s that?”
—That person is experienced with handling mechanics.
A soft chuckle escaped me.
Separate from that, Blood Soo felt her skin crawl.
No, she couldn’t help but be astonished.
‘He watched it once and stole my technique.’
It wasn’t mere imitation—the copycat had modified it to suit their own body.
Even Blood Soo, who had grown up hearing she was a prodigy, had taken five years to master this technique.
…Copycat.
‘What on earth is their true identity?’
Now she was even afraid to reveal her hidden techniques in front of that person.
Of course, their power was still weak for now.
But it didn’t seem like that would last long.
‘They’ve grown stronger in every way since I first saw them!’
That had been just a few months ago.
That person is completely broken!
Right at that moment.
Lim Doo-ho’s smartwatch rang.
He answered without thinking, and a hologram channel opened in the air as Na Manager’s voice came through.
—Lim, where are you right now?
“I’m in the building across from the Plaza. We’ve successfully blocked the combat robots’ vision here, and we’ve also received some unexpected assistance.”
—Unexpected assistance?
Lim Doo-ho turned his head briefly.
Startled!
Blood Soo, wearing a panda mask, was standing with her back turned away.
Na Manager beyond the hologram glanced over and tilted his head in confusion.
—…?
Lim Doo-ho spoke with an awkward smile.
“I’m about to clean up the ones who blocked our vision.”
—Right, be careful. Oh, and I spoke with Director Hyun Se-hee—the Dock is currently occupied by combat robots. It looks like we’ll inevitably have to engage them.
Lim Doo-ho opened his mouth immediately.
“Then I’ll use the green stone….”
—Lim.
Na Manager’s voice cut through firmly.
—You’re pushing yourself too hard right now. Stay in the Plaza. We’ll handle the infiltration from here on.
With that, the channel cut off.
Lim Doo-ho scratched his cheek.
Hmm….
‘Was I really pushing myself?’
And.
Blood Soo was turning over Lim Doo-ho’s words from moments before.
‘Copycat was with the Hunter Management Bureau?’
Now that I think about it, when I first encountered them, a sniper was accompanying them too.
Ah! The sniper.
She quickly glanced around.
Phew.
‘She didn’t come with us.’
Anyway, are they part of a special division?
Does the Hunter Management Bureau even have a department like that?
As random thoughts flickered through my mind, Lim Doo-ho’s words from moments ago resurfaced.
「I received unexpected assistance.」
The fork in her hand rotated ever so slightly.
‘I wasn’t trying to help.’
What the—
Why did he package it as a good deed!
I felt oddly like I’d been outmaneuvered.
* * *
Lim Doo-ho turned his head toward the Plaza.
The combat robot that had obscured his vision was still operational.
I set off again.
Using the newly acquired footwork technique, it was nothing short of a lightning dash.
—Master, why don’t you give the footwork a name, ribbit.
‘I borrowed someone else’s technique. What’s there to name?’
Just then, Hawkeye, cloaked beside me, ran alongside and spoke.
—Mecromancer, we merely adapted the method. The nature is different.
Not to be outdone, Isto, who was handling the distant combat robots, interjected proudly.
—Invention is the mother of failure! Ehehehe~.
“…??!!”
Words that made absolutely no sense whatsoever.
The three of us said nothing more to Isto.
—Huh? What’s wrong? Lim Doo-ho?
In any case.
We began dismantling the dozens of combat robots scattered across the Plaza.
Armor plating was stripped away, and guided missiles were disassembled before everything was brought into Lim Doo-ho’s Garage.
Numerous Androids pouring out of the Garage were even assisting in the process.
And….
Among the gloves scattered on the ground, the mechanical arms of Bom-i’s Transport Ship 43 that had appeared moved swiftly back and forth.
The eyes of those watching and Blood Soo narrowed.
What was the point of gathering all of that?
“Wait, those people don’t seem to be ordinary Hunters, do they?”
“Why?”
“Look. The moment the aircraft stopped, they started collecting the missiles.”
“That’s true…. That’s the procedure for handling hazardous materials first, isn’t it?”
“Are they response personnel for Chiko Island?”
“Or people sent by the Hunter Management Bureau?”
Murmurs rippled through the crowd.
The people’s gazes gradually shifted.
“Looks like the Government dispatched them.”
At those words, Blood Soo’s eyes narrowed as well.
‘Are they really from that side?’
Everyone found reason to trust Lim Doo-ho’s group.
Lim Doo-ho shouted loudly.
“Extract the aircraft stuck in the dome!”
Everyone turned their heads.
This was the reason the place remained so cold.
A combat robot was lodged in the dome, preventing it from closing.
-Wait a moment, croak.
Clang, whirring. Clang.
Bom-i’s Transport Ship 43 moved.
As the transport ship came to a stop, bizarre sounds poured forth from the combat robot wedged in the dome.
The combat robot had overheated and stopped from forcibly bearing the weight of the heavy dome.
Screech, thud. Thud thud.
Multiple arms extended from beneath the transport ship and grasped the combat robot.
Crunch.
Crack.
The transport ship pulled backward, and the combat robot wedged in the dome was dragged out along with it.
Whirrrring. Boom!
Finally, the dome closed.
People sent wave after wave of cheers toward Bom-i’s transport ship.
It didn’t matter where that unfamiliar transport ship had come from.
The cold had been numbing enough to paralyze reason, and since it had helped them, they naturally had no choice but to accept it as one of their own!
And finally.
There were no more combat robots scattered across the Plaza.
Of course, many combat robots would still remain in other locations.
I wanted to go somewhere else.
But then.
‘I can’t disobey Na Manager’s orders.’
Just as frustration settled in, my smart watch chimed again.
When I connected the channel, Hyun Se-hee’s image flickered through the hologram.
“Yes, hello.”
-Lim Doo-ho, we found someone on one of the CCTVs that wasn’t damaged, so I checked it out.
“What do you mean?”
Hyun Se-hee’s expression was bright, so it didn’t seem like bad news.
Only her inability to compose her emotions had caused some difficulty in conveying the information.
After steadying her breathing, she spoke.
-Well, we caught footage of someone heading toward the Main Security Room. So I zoomed in, and it was Go Gyeong-taek, the director of the Changtian Clan.
Hm?
I blinked once.
‘That person came here too?’
Flinch!
When I turned around in surprise, Blood Soo was hovering nearby—I wasn’t sure when he’d arrived.

In that moment, my brow furrowed slightly.
Blood Soo.
And Go Gyeong-taek.
Were these really the kind of people who’d casually visit Chiko Island for leisure?
‘Something feels off….’
I had no way of knowing how Isto and Hawkeye had obtained the Seongmaek Blooming Pill.
I brushed aside my wandering thoughts and refocused on what Hyun Se-hee was saying.
She continued.
-From what I know, since Go Gyeong-taek is with the Changtian Clan, he should be quite strong.
In other words, it seems Go Gyeong-taek went to deal with Zhang Wei, who’s occupying the Main Security Room.
I too felt relieved and was wiping my chest when she noticed something and quickly spoke.
-I think I need to cut this call! It looks like seven Wigdrones are standing by near Chiko Island.
With those words, the channel cut off.
Blood Soo, who had been glancing at me warily, became certain of something internally.
Copycat.
‘A government agent!’
Otherwise, there’s no way they could be in direct contact with not just the Hunter Management Bureau, but the person in charge of all of Chiko Island.
An ominous thought suddenly crossed my mind.
‘Could they be trying to arrest me?’
No way.
They said they received my help earlier.
She slowly backed away, watching my retreating figure.
Helping people without any reward in return.
As expected….
‘Being a civil servant really doesn’t pay.’
She didn’t know.
How much wealth Lim Doo-ho had accumulated from this skirmish.
A kilogram of Hero-grade Ecometal was worth ten million coins.
That was when it happened.
Boom!
Cannon fire erupted from the direction of the Dock.
As the ground trembled, the faces of those remaining in the Plaza darkened.
And once more.
Boom!!
A second volley followed.
