316. Temperature difference
The head of the Korean branch of the Psionics Association was alone for over sixty years.
He had no intention of getting married.
When I was in my forties, I started to imagine what it would be like to have children.
It was also nice to see parents with children around me.
But I didn’t want to make a fuss about getting married now.
As a side effect of my supernatural powers, I had no s*xual desire, so I didn’t really want women.
That’s why the branch manager took an interest in genetic cloning, and it was successful.
That’s how the child was created.
Five children were created through the lab.
Among them, three survived unharmed.
One is missing, one is dead.
My heart doesn’t break over the disappearance of my child.
I just made it because I wanted to make it.
It doesn’t make any sense.
That was it.
* * *
Doo-doo, tiiiiing.
6 a.m.
The holographic phone rings an alarm.
This is Elgar’s cello concerto.
I opened my eyes, opened the window, and breathed in the refreshing morning air.
I opened my five senses and roughly felt the humidity and temperature, and the weather today is also sunny.
Boom!
After stretching, straight to the training ground.
Morning training wearing the Ithel.
Afterwards, the ‘Kang Purum Research Team’, officially known as the ‘Gear Development Team’, goes down to check the effectiveness of the combat suit created.
“Are you here?”
The security guard pretended to know.
“You broke up? It’s okay. Men get dumped and things like that as they live. Heartbreak is nothing.”
The name of the security guard is Kim Chan-su.
Age thirty-one.
A transmogrified half-blood who recently completed the training program created by his mother.
Therefore, they are excellent special combat available personnel.
“You speak as if you’ve been in a lot of relationships. Where did you hear about me being dumped?”
“There are some people among us who are light-hearted. We have to be careful.”
I said, putting my hand in front of my lips and pretending to pout.
Kim Yohan has been running around like crazy these days because he’s bored.
So I heard.
That Mr. Kim Chan-su’s third love ended in failure.
“Team Leader Kim Yohan is really tight-lipped.”
“Yes, it’s very heavy.”
After a pointless conversation, I went inside and found that the test preparations were already complete.
It’s not a great preparation.
Just put the suit on a mannequin and place it in front of me.
“It will work out for today.”
The researcher said, pushing up his glasses.
Yeah, I wish I could, me too.
This is a new combat suit being developed by NS.
If you just do these basics, it will sell like hotcakes.
So this will be our new business.
By the way, people make really poorly made combat suits.
Is it because Kang Purum is half-crazy these days and is making customized gear, so she doesn’t stick around here and only sticks around to the other researchers?
I’m out of motivation.
There aren’t many, but just one, initial passing grade I’m looking for in a combat suit.
“going.”
“yes.”
The group of researchers stepped back.
All I ask is that it doesn’t break when I punch it, is that too much?
“please.”
One of the researchers puts his hands together in prayer. That’s not how a scientist should act.
Press the left foot into the ground and add rotation to the toes, knees, and waist.
Shift your center of gravity, gather energy, and put it into a fist that extends your shoulder as an axis.
It’s straight.
Soon my right fist made contact with the combat suit worn by the mannequin.
Kwak-ang!
There was a loud noise that was comparable to the one when the impact blew a hole in the side of the building.
At the same time, the mannequin’s legs broke and it flew backwards with a bang.

Bam!
The test ended with another loud thud, though smaller than when I hit it.
I quickly walked over and examined the combat suit.
I only used 50% of my strength.
If you can’t stand this, what can you do?
“again.”
I have to do it again.
Before I could say anything, the man who was the chief researcher shook his head.
The middle of the suit was dented after being hit by a light straight.
There were no holes, but the insides of the person who wore it would have crumbled like dry leaves.
This won’t do.
“That’s the downside of a combat suit. The shock goes right through.”
I said.
“Yes, I know.”
“Please fix.”
“yes.”
The senior researcher bowed his head. He looked as if he couldn’t help but feel pain.
Actually, this is a technique I have used a lot.
If the bulletproof vest looks tough, it will shock the wearer and break him.
So, this is not enough.
First of all, haven’t you seen the already completed battle suit?
Psionic Armor, a secret weapon brought from the Association, allows the named knights and supernatural special species to engage in close combat.
I don’t expect it to go that far, but it would be a problem if it was enough to kill a normal person after getting hit with one.
“Isn’t a suit that can withstand the president’s fists a bit excessive?”
On the way out, the bodyguard, Chan-su Kim, said,
“You have to endure this much.”
If that doesn’t work, then it’s useless. At least by my standards right now.
After finishing the combat suit test, I went straight to the cafeteria.
I cried out over and over again.
No matter how busy you are, let’s eat three meals a day.
Moreover, NS cafeteria is free for all employees.
I joined the line of people.
“Hello, sir.”
The woman standing at the very back pretended to know me. She was the info older sister. The other people around me also greeted me with their eyes.
As I came to the cafeteria every morning, people who used to be surprised and ask, “CEO? Special? Blue Knight Slayer?” were now rather indifferent.
Of course, if there are new employees.
“Ah, Blue Knight Slayer!”
There are some people who are surprised like this.
Next to Info Noona. She was a woman with a plain face and a glamorous body.
Are you twenty? Twenty-one?
“Don’t fall in love.”
I said with a smile.
“Ah, ah, yes. I won’t fall in love with you.”
Just kidding.
“Is this your first day at work?”
“yes.”
It’s a bit stiff.
“You shouldn’t really fall in love. I’m a bit picky.”
So I joked around and he said, “This guy’s pretty dapper.”
“Oh, sir. You’re not my type. I like handsome guys.”
“That’s why I’m telling you not to fall in love.”
“That’s why I don’t fall in love. Even if I were to be born again, I would never fall in love with you, CEO.”
Is that what you’re saying while clenching your fist?
Info Nuna, who was watching that, covered her mouth and laughed out loud.
“thank you.”
He’s a pure person. I thought to myself, “Well, that’s how it is.”
“There’s a dispatch in the morning. You’re going with me, sir.”
I felt a faint presence behind me, and then I heard a voice.
It was Jeonggi Nam’s kid. Lately, he’s been following Jungbong around like crazy, and the number of times he attacks me in the morning has decreased.
You may be learning something new, and your body movements may improve beyond recognition.
Hyung Jungbong, you seem like the first human being in Korea who drives a car.
I laid out the plan for him, and he’s really going crazy and only caring about Gi-nam.
“I know, kid. I’m on a mission.”
If you just train, your body will stiffen up. My mother said the same thing, and my two private tutors, who have been playing around for months and have become salarymen, also said the same thing.
So this is a real catch. It’s not that big of a deal.
This is a job that NS decided to take on because strange things kept happening.
This is a mission requested simultaneously by three organizations: the Ministry of Public Administration and Security, Dangun Group, and the Association.
“Are you here for breakfast?”
Nod.
Jeong Gi-nam nodded and stood next to me.
“ah.”
The new female employee stared at Ki-nam intently, then groaned and almost fell over.
Info Noona caught it cleverly.
What is this temperature difference?
“What is this difference?”
I asked.
“what?”
The corners of Jeong Gi-nam’s mouth were strangely twitching. Does this kid think the current situation is fun?
“Why don’t you come to spar with me these days? I’m open.”
If you dare, I’m willing to show you right here, sticking my tongue out, peeing myself, and passing out.
If you just jump in first.
“……done.”
But Jeong Gi-nam is leaving. Why is this kid acting like this?
“Have you taken your medicine this morning?”
“Just stop talking nonsense.”
No, you weren’t like that.
It’s a bit odd to suggest a fight first when Kinam doesn’t even try to fight.
There was already a malicious rumor going around in the company that I had a hobby of harassing my employees.
I don’t know anything about rumors, but I didn’t feel like harassing Jeong Gi-nam because his reaction was so strange.
“This happens often.”
On that day, Info Noona said:
“yes?”
“The new female employee gets a fever every time she sees Team Leader Jeong Gi-nam. His face is just so…you know?”
No, I have no idea.
“Why don’t you see me with a fever?”
“… … Do I really have to answer that?”
Don’t do it. I won’t listen.
After eating breakfast, I finished preparing to go out.
It can’t withstand my fists, but with a prototype combat suit, two knives made of adamantium, a sniper rifle, and the Galaxy Gloves I received from Impact and Al, it’s over.
It’s fully equipped with one flash, one freeze, one heat, one noise, and one smoke grenade each inside the suit.
This is the basic NS dispatch equipment recently created by the double-bong headquarters chief.
“The image that is shown to the public is what NS needs right now. So we have to wear it and run until our feet sweat.”
He said this himself and proved it.
Even the double peak himself worked hard, even in small tasks.
I wonder if this is the same person who used to shoot guns while picking his nose during his Hwarim days.
I heard they’re going crazy handing out holographic business cards here and there.
I also heard that CEO Nam was quite upset after hearing this.
Of course, Kim Yohan told me everything.
The Immortal Special Forces still have a lot of gossip to go around.
I’m telling you, this is also a real ability.
Today’s operation is Jeong Gi-nam and I going out as a pair.
“Since the requested place is so big, we are adjusting the size accordingly.”
That’s what Panda Hyung said when I went to see him.
But are there only two people who can match the size?
Is this right?
Jeong Gi-nam was in charge of driving. When I got in the backseat, Jeong Gi-nam glared at me.
“Am I the driver? Sit next to me.”
“I have a disease where I fall asleep as soon as I sit in the passenger seat.”
“You crazy kid.”
Today’s regular weather is as clear as the weather. The kid gets angry, but he never really attacks.
I sat in the passenger seat of a black sedan.
I’ll make you regret calling me into the passenger seat.
I was once called the mouth of hell.
I’ll show you the fear of a mixed race child who grew up between his mother’s fists and his father’s scolding.
“How is your father? I heard things are really hard for your family these days.”
At my words, Ki-nam’s shoulders flinched.
Of course, it was a very subtle tremor that even an immortal wouldn’t notice.
“Hey. Be nice to your house. You’re going to be a bastard.”
Crack.
Kinam’s molars were strong. The sound of his teeth grinding was pleasant.
“That’s you.”
Seeing Ki-nam talking with his teeth clenched made me feel better than when I had breakfast.
The fallen female employee was struggling for a while.
No, what am I worse than Gi-nam at?
And this double-crossing guy is my representative, but he only wears Gi-nam’s pants all day.
Should I have eliminated him from the interview?
“Huh? What? Try loosening up your jaw muscles. Your pronunciation is bad. Hey, do you have to teach me Korean pronunciation now? You’ve been relying on me since I was in the office, and you’re still like this. Hey, you can’t do this anymore. You’re a proper team leader, aren’t you? It’s bad if you rely on me too much.”
Boohoo. Squeak!
Jeong Gi-nam slammed on the brakes.
Yeah, so you’re asking me to fight?
You’ve been patient for a long time, our Ginami.
Good job.
“f*ck.”
After saying that, the guy kicked the driver’s seat and got out.
I got off when I whistled.
I’m looking forward to some fun skinship with Geunam.
“Arrived.”
hmm?
You don’t want to fight?
Suddenly I found myself standing in front of some large warehouse building.
I saw a half-dead sign, indicating that it used to be a warehouse mart.
I also saw old carts and such.
“Inside.”
Ki-nam, who was in charge of guiding, went in.
Only then did I remember the operational briefing.
It was about a recent crime that simultaneously targeted the government, the Dangun group, and the association.
Also, he said that the reason he asked NS to do this was for coordination purposes.
It is no exaggeration to say that the three vested interest groups that rule Korea are distrustful of each other.
Well, it was funny how they talked as if they trusted each other at times.
That’s where it came from.
Crunch.
“Unauthorized persons… … .”
One of the Shapeshifters greeted us, pointing a double-barreled shotgun, a modified shotgun at that.
Before Jeong Gi-nam could even hear that, he took out his NS employee ID card.
“I came out of NS.”
Wiggle.
At those words, the transformation tribe’s eyebrows furrowed and he tilted his head to the side.
“But when did you meet me and why are you speaking informally to me?”
“Should I use polite language with a guy who points a gun at me the moment he sees me?”
Huh? I felt it.
This morning, or even before that.
The countless moments when Kinam attacked me and hit me.
Since this morning and up until now when I’m driving.
Kinam was relieving the stress that had been building up.
That is, they were getting slapped in the east and taking out their anger on the west.
Ki-nam, who had been patient with me, suddenly boiled over.
The temperature difference is evident.
The shapeshifters snorted.
When Ki-nam saw that, he lifted his chin. It was his characteristically arrogant posture.
Therefore, it was the perfect posture for picking a fight.
