319. Brain Princess
It’s a morning I wake up from a good night’s sleep after filling my stomach with lamb ribs.
After the usual training, I went to see the face of my friend, the brain princess.
There was no tying up of limbs or anything.
There was no need to put him in jail.
“I saw it when I caught it, but it has no fighting ability whatsoever.”
Kim Geun-yuk, who was standing next to me, bent down and whispered in my ear.
“It’s too close.”
I said, digging my fingers into my ears because they were ticklish.
“I want to get closer.”
Kim Geun-yuk said.
“what?”
“no.”
Sometimes when I see this woman, I think she’s not normal.
It’s on par with Jeong So-jin.
But aren’t you eating well these days?
“You seem to have lost some weight. Are you okay?”
“Are you worried about me?”
“I’m saying this because I can see it.”
“That’s right. I’m on a diet.”
Wasn’t one of your superpowers a form of muscle strengthening?
It’s so awkward when the person with the most ability who’s the furthest from dieting says that.
Moreover, does dieting make you lose height? This is the eye of the immortal. My eyes were not wrong.
The princess’s body was changing. Fortunately, the change did not feel bad. Then, there is no need to say more.
The former princess, the current muscle, felt my gaze and spoke.
“just joke.”
When I look at the way you speak, you seem overly serious. Where does the joke begin?
“Ah yes.”
I got the gist of it.
Based on my experience so far, I’ve found that taking the women around me seriously doesn’t do me any good.
Okay, it’s time to meet new friends.
A friend who was thrown into a conference room after it was emptied.
Princess Kim Geun-yuk and Miho Baragi Gwi-tae were guarding me, and among them, Mr. Geun-yuk came to greet me.
As I entered the conference room, I saw a bowl of seolleongtang that was somewhat empty.
Although there are no contents, you can immediately tell that it is the remains of Seolleongtang from the side dish bowl with red broth left in it and the lingering scent of broth.
Moreover, I even know where I ordered that seolleongtang.
This is Jogane Seolleongtang, located behind the company.
The food in that house is delicious.
“You must have eaten a lot.”
I said and pulled out a chair and sat down.
We didn’t just sit across from each other.
Just in case, I scanned my entire body.
Although they say he has no fighting ability, this is a process to check if he has anything hidden.
No. It was clean.
She’s just a girl with a hunched body who grew up eating a lot.
Age: thirteen at best? No, it looks like malnutrition, but she’s probably around seventeen. I locked eyes with the girl who was the brain princess.
The eyes resembled those of an old man worn out by the waves.
At least that’s what it looked like to my eyes.
“It’s so special.”
But why doesn’t this person’s face look familiar to me?
“Yeah. My face is my ID card.”
The brain princess took a deep breath and then opened her mouth.
“NS is a new company. With the recent addition of Phantom Double Peak, they are more active than ever before in external activities. They have few assets, but they operate large businesses, so it is estimated that they will not suffer any losses for the time being. However, since everything is too focused on the power of one person, if the CEO, who is the center of the company, collapses, it is expected that the company will also suffer a blow. There are three expected risks. The CEO may be defeated by another special species, the CEO’s scandalous private life may be revealed, or the special species’ forces may show biased actions due to discord within the family.”
What is this?
“Are you a fan of our company?”
The background check is too thorough.
However, there is one catch.
“My private life is in disarray?”
“Rumor. He has a lot of women around him and enjoys being with a lot of people. There are even rumors that he hired a paparazzi to hide this.”
What do you enjoy?
This is exactly what happens when smoke comes out of a chimney that isn’t burning.
In the past, there was less chance of smoke coming out of a chimney that wasn’t open, but not anymore.
This damn internet is ruining the world.
These days, when fifty malicious commenters gather together, they even create criminal records that never existed.
They make people do strange things by weaving together various coincidences. They are like people with delusions.
Anyway, if you catch a malicious commenter, you should give them a beating and give them a beating. I’m serious about this.
“Aha, there’s no mention of children being revealed among them?”
As I spoke with my arms folded, the brain princess raised her thin arms and folded her arms.

I wonder what this guy eats to have his body like that.
It’s so sad to look at.
“I told you it was just a rumor. It’s just some crazy, jealous, envious kid who uses anonymity as a mask to make a big deal out of it. You f*cking bastards. Seriously.”
Yoohoo, look at what he’s saying. He’s so fierce.
“Ahem. So why did you follow me obediently?”
I heard there was no resistance when they caught him.
“I don’t care if it’s immortal or transformed. As long as it’s somewhere that can save me.”
“… … ?”
What the hell is this?
Why is it called “Help Me”?
Not long ago, I ran around with sweaty feet trying to save an older sister I knew through leap research and development.
Have you heard of the nationwide crackdown on illegal research labs?
“You took all the illegal research lab research? Then I think NS has the potential. It’s a condition of my employment. I will work to extend my life.”
This guy is so shameless. But strangely, I find that attractive.
“Why don’t you try some mercury?”
Isn’t mercury the answer to immortality?
History proves it.
“I’m not joking. If you inhale mercury, you’ll die. I want to live.”
Eeeeeeeeeeeum.
I like your confidence though.
“You there, you clumsy kid.”
The brain princess who was watching that day said.
It was directed at Gwitae hyung. Gwitae hyung pretended not to hear it.
That guy is real.
“What are you doing?”
I’ll call you one more time for confirmation.
“Didn’t you call me?”
React like this.
Is this crazy?
I’m above average, you punk.
“it’s crazy?”
“Well, it doesn’t matter. As long as Miho is happy, that’s fine.”
Doesn’t that Umiho not like you either?
“Please give me your phone.”
I nodded at the brain princess’s words.
Gwitae looked at the brain princess and said.
“Your speech is so rude, but why doesn’t it feel awkward? Your informal speech feels so natural.”
I know.
I didn’t respect him more because he spoke to me politely, and I didn’t care.
As Gwitae spoke, he took off his watch, and soon the brain princess, holding a hologram phone in the shape of a wristwatch with her bare hands, closed her eyes and opened them.
Something strange caught my senses. My immortal instincts were stirred. I knew from experience. This was psionic energy.
It came from a girl called the Brain Princess.
Soon the repercussions of what this child had done began to creep into the conference room.
Empty.
Umiho kicked open the conference room door and came rushing in.
“Did you come here because you missed me?”
Umiho, who had been ignoring Bangtue’s nonsense, looked at the brain princess and said.
“You did that, right?”
“huh.”
“Let’s hire him, sir.”
“what?”
“Even if it’s a special offer. If there are conditions, I’ll accept it.”
“hmm?”
I tilted my head.
“He’s a friend who can commit online terrorism while sitting down.”
There are quite a few kids making strange noises today.
“Just kidding, man, I got a little carried away.”
What the heck, kid?
What did Umiho know that made her come here in the first place?
I picked up the holographic phone. There was a link and a message.
It’s a voice phishing-like message called ‘Yoo Gwang-ik’s Private Life’.
The source is an official NS notification.
It will be sent from the security server soon.
It appears that a hole has been created in the security system.
My older brother invested quite a bit in this area.
The original security system was supplemented several times by roasting the guys who make a living as hackers in the back alleys.
Link gets hacked in one go?
It was one of two things.
If Kim Joong-go didn’t embezzle, then this kid did it. This little brat with a brain princess and a pretty good ID did it.
But why my private life?
“Hey, you, kid.”
Everyone who clicks on the link sees it. I clicked on it too. Then I was immediately connected to a secure server.
It didn’t reveal anything about my private life. It just proved that the security server had been breached.
“It’s an empty can. I told you. It’s a joke.”
But how did you do this?
I knew he wasn’t your average hacker, seeing as he’d been trolling governments, groups, and associations.
Now he’s done this with just one holographic phone.
That didn’t even take a minute.
However, as he spoke, he began to sweat profusely.
“Are you going to save me or not?”
He was quite bold when he asked me to save his life. But I liked him because he was bold.
“What if I use you well and then wipe your mouth clean later?”
“Then there’s nothing I can do. I’ll just die. Damn it. Blame me for not being able to see people, and walk all the way to the makeup room on my own two feet.”
As he said that, sweat began to drip down his forehead.
“phone.”
I reached out and took Gwitae’s phone, then threw it behind me.
I heard the sound of Gwi-tae snatching my watch from the air.
Meanwhile, I was busy observing the brain princess.
You can’t know a person’s character just by looking at him.
But only one was visible.
Should I call it the will to live?
The child was crying out for help.
At first glance, it seems like he’s the type that uses his abilities to shorten his lifespan.
“Okay. Let’s say you passed the document screening.”
I said that and continued talking to the back.
“Go and call the head of the headquarters and the head of the HR department. They have an interview.”
“yes.”
Kim Geun-yuk is out.
“I’ll stay too.”
Miho said from the side.
Do whatever you want.
Soon, Jungbong and Steven Choi arrived.
I asked only one question during the interview.
“Tell me about your life.”
He was a fun friend. We had a connection.
He lived in a laboratory his entire life and escaped by chance.
I made a cameo appearance during that escape.
I was wondering where I had seen it.
While I was raiding an illegal lab, I happened to pass by and saved a trapped kid, and it was this kid.
Human relationships are unpredictable.
“If I want to repay that favor later when I meet that person, I have to live first. Oh, shit, this is so confusing.”
This child was a special species of experimental superpower.
The ability he possesses is the electronic brain.
“My brain can convert everything into radio signals. As long as I’m connected to the Internet, I can bypass things like security systems.”
That was exactly what it said.
Although he had never learned programming, coding was as easy for this kid as picking up a pebble off the ground.
However, picking up a pebble requires fingers and a little muscle strength.
I can’t pick up a pebble with my paralyzed hands from a serious illness.
This child’s lifespan is shortened in exchange for his abilities. At this rate, he will live for less than a year.
When he first escaped, he tried to live quietly by stealing money through hacking, but he felt his body shrinking as he used his powers.
After that, it’s just as you see it.
I needed a research facility to survive. But I didn’t want to live like a guinea pig like before.
So, the choice was to show off your abilities and create competition.
Unless you’re just being sarcastic, you’ll figure out that what you did was a hoax.
Then, there will be people who notice and come looking for you.
“You came so fast? Shit, it was a fortnight earlier than I expected. I think there should have been some sort of conflict so I could have demonstrated my abilities more impressively.”
Yeah, that’s because we have rumormongers on our side.
It’s Kim Yohan’s fault.
“He has decent skills, but he’s going to die soon. And when you brought him here, you said you were NS?”
Steven Choi began to whisper.
The opponent isn’t immortal, so he probably won’t hear it.
The reason NS revealed that they took them is because I told them to say it was our doing because I thought they would keep fighting if we left them alone.
“You know that bringing it along is a risk, right?”
I know. How unique the ability is.
If you have this kind of ability, the government or group will put a lot of pressure on you.
He may have dreamed of proving his abilities and extending his life in return, but his wild and Metchnikoff-like hopes would not have been realized.
I guess I’ll just be a doll in the lab again.
Well, I guess I prepared my own countermeasures.
It would be the same now. If I refuse or try to do something else, he’ll take out what he’s been hiding.
He’s a more interesting guy than you might think. It’s easy to read his mind. But even if you knew his mind, it wouldn’t mean that what he’s prepared was useless.
He’s a smart kid.
“If you can’t use your abilities, they’re worthless.”
Umiho’s words. She spoke mercilessly, but there was a twist in what she continued to say.
“NS is currently working on establishing its own medical facility. You can just transfer the patients there. Using your abilities will come later.”
So, what we’re saying is, let’s save the child without any cost.
“What? Why are you looking at me?”
Chief Lee Jung-bong seemed to have no thoughts.
I pretended to be thinking hard and then said,
“pass.”
“You’re going to do whatever you want anyway.”
Jungbong grumbled.
That’s true, but there has to be someone besides me who will listen to this kid’s story.
And one of the reasons I passed was because I liked the secret of birth the most.
The brain princess has no name.
That’s because she’s a test subject. She was born with two genes mixed together.
And the subject of this experiment is the Association of Superpowers, or more precisely, its president.
“If I had to say, I would say that my father is the president of the association, but I’m not interested. If I look around, there are some kids who hold grudges and some who live in the association, but I’m me. You little shit, you can live your life as you please.”
Following Secret of Birth, I also quite like Mind.
Then there is only one thing left.
Whether to use this child’s abilities or not.
Should I put him in the hospital and let him focus on recovery, or should I just say that there is nothing I can do if he dies while using his abilities?
There was no need to worry.
“You use your abilities as you see fit. I accept the conditions.”
That’s something I’ll take care of.
If you use your ability and it hurts too much, you’ll probably just quit.
He’s not the type of person to listen to what others say. He may look weak on the outside, but inside he has a strong spirit like a yaksha.
That’s actually enough of a reason for passing.
“f*ck, thank you.”
The problem is that he’s a bit foul-mouthed for a kid.
There is another good kid here who can be a counter-example.
If you stick with Kang Hye-min, her bad habits will probably change on their own.
Kang Hye-min can’t stand seeing someone swearing in front of her while being cursed at.
“I’m busy, so don’t call me for chores.”
Hyung Jungbong suddenly got up and tried to leave.
“I’m busy too. Who else is free?”
When I say it to the back of your head.
Hyung Jungbong opens the conference room door again and laughs. I thought it was a request for a duel.
Didn’t they say that in the Middle Ages they threw gloves?
These days, the fortress is being replaced by a fortress.
I was about to say one more thing.
“Let me talk for a moment.”
It’s outside the conference room door that Hyung Jungbong opened. The person who came walking slowly spoke.
Rose was the best Filipino I know.
She had a pretty serious look on her face.
“Got it. The tail.”
In the following words, I forgot to challenge you to a duel.
What would it be if Rose caught the tail?
This refers to a large-scale project prepared by Prometheus.
