Chapter 260 – BLDG 2 Doctorate (4)

“Hey, wait!”

Hearing that he would kill me, I hurriedly lifted the hypnosis app.
But it doesn’t work
Why doesn’t hypnosis work?

It’s natural that it doesn’t work.
The opponent is probably a machine, a humanoid robot… I’ve never heard of such a thing existing, but I’m sure it’s a machine man.
My hypnosis app only applies to magical girls, not machines.

I thought so fast that my head hurt as I watched the machine man approaching.
Judging from its appearance or behavior, this is not the enemy of the Leaf.
Leaf’s ally, probably a robot created by Leaf.

Leaf must have come alone… No, machines are not people.
While answering questions, I was waiting for this guy to come.
When he hypnotized me, he should have asked me if I had any plans in case something happened to me.

I don’t know how the signal was given without my knowledge, or what medicine was injected into the neck.
Why are you trying to kill me… Of course it was because I threatened Riff.
Now is not the time to wonder or regret.

How do I get out of this situation?
The metal ring that tightens the neck doesn’t budge.
The opponent is a machine, and hypnosis does not work.

A mechanical man who looks just like Leaf walks slowly and heavily and extends his hand.
Die.
If something like that touches your head or neck, your hair will cook right away and die.

“Ahhhhh… !”

I struggled with the growing fear and with all my might I opened the collar around my neck.
It doesn’t even budge.
My hands hurt.

Die.
Die…
Die… !

“Evil!!”

At that moment, my left hand suddenly felt like it would tear, and the ring came off as if it were about to burst.
The force that pushed the ring from the inside bounced off and struck the face of the mechanical human who approached.
Kang! With a clatter, the robot was hit by his fist and flew away.

“Aaaaa… ! What, what… !”

I collapsed in front of the front door and grabbed my left hand in agony.
My half-extended left hand trembled, and I felt an unpleasant pain as if I was scraping between the veins.
For some reason I noticed that it was the tentacles that got between my hands and then turned.

[Grip strength, 307kg…]
“Huh… ! Heo-eok… ! Omg… !”

Suffering from the pain I felt from the fist that struck the iron, I stood up when I saw the mechanical man get up again with the sound of the machine.
For now, you should avoid this place.
Neither hypnosis nor kitchen knives work on this guy.

“Where are you going…”
“Kuh… !”

At that time, Leaf grabbed my ankle as I tried to run away.
The riff is moving… I don’t know what the hell he did, but he was released from hypnosis.
Could the drug injected into the throat be a drug that can release hypnosis?
If so, this is a really crazy drug.

“307 kg is 677 pounds… You’re not human… ! I’m having sex with a gorilla, so my grip is gorilla… Keck! Kut! Sleep… !”

He tries to pull his ankle out, but he won’t let go of his hand.
I kicked Leaf in the arm and head with my uncaught leg.
We must run away… A magical girl and a mechanical human who cannot be hypnotized are too disadvantageous for me.

“Dog, baby… Garbage! Kicking a woman… !”

Leaf trampled under my feet and held out a hypnotic penlight to me.
A flash of red light hits my head.
At about the same time, a golden light spreads out and bounces a red light out of his head.

“Ha… Ha… X what are you doing! No help!”
[Confirmation of normalization of consciousness, end of temporary manager permitted situation, waiting for command.]
“That failure… ! Uh… ?”
“Huh?”

I made eye contact with Riff, who tried to raise himself angrily at my feet.
… What?
It’s nothing.

“Now, wait… What?! Why why?! Immune?!”

For some reason, Riff’s hypnosis doesn’t work on me.
I held out my vision phone and hypnotized Reef.
Once again hypnotized, Riff collapses on the floor, stiffening her body.

“Ah ah ah ah ah! X! What are you doing!”
[Measurement of brain waves… Status abnormal.]
“Take this bastard away from me… !”
“Stop that bastard!”

I ordered Leaf to stop the robot being called X.
Judging from the conversation between the two, Leaf is the owner of X, possibly the inventor.
Then… If you give orders to X through the hypnotic riff, you’ll be able to subdue them both.

“Mmm, stop!”
[Activate temporary admin code, deny command.]
“What?!”

However, X rejected Leaf’s order after receiving my order.
After seeing X’s reaction, Riff sent me a smile mixed with ridicule and triumph.
This is an unexpected situation.

[Self-judgment, start administering test solution 3 times.]
“Forced Halo?! What kind of judgment… For a moment! Really stop!”

X then pointed his finger at Leaf and fired about three unknown injections.
As Leaf, who had erased his smile, shook his head in fright, injections were inserted into his body and neck.
Leaf flipped his eyes so that he could see all the whites of his body, and he shivered like a fit.

“Bump! Jade… ! Ug… !”

Leaf lifted his hands from my ankles and laid me on the floor, leaning back on my back.
I don’t know what it is, but this is an opportunity.
When I saw that, I immediately opened the front door and ran outside.

“Huh… ! Heo-eok… !”

If you take the elevator, you will be late… I have an uneasy feeling that I shouldn’t be confined in a narrow place.
Run up the stairs, up the stairs
I jumped down floor by floor as if flying, and reached the first floor in an instant, gasping for breath.

Thanks to Grape feeding him various things and training him through sex, his body is light.
My current athletic ability is better than when I was a trainee… This is enough to run away as long as the opponent is not flying around.
I thought as I ran nonstop, trying to get out of the house and run as far as I could.

“Huh! Huh! Heo-eok… !”

If I had known this was going to happen, I would have put on a safety device rather than digging up information…
No, digging up information was a good thing.
From the moment Leaf was hypnotized, even orders did not work for the mechanical man named X… All I can think of is the ability to override a command if it detects something out of the ordinary.

How the hell am I supposed to deal with that guy?
The fact that you can hypnotize is revealed, and you can’t even hypnotize the other person.
If you hypnotize Riff, X even injects him with medicine to free him…

Definitely felt it.
Those are the guys I can’t do anything about.
What do we do… What should I do?

“Crane! Crane… ! Crane… !”

Arriving at a crowded street, I stopped gasping for breath.
The blood runs in my head so much that I can’t think.
It’s unreasonable to think while moving so violently…

Pausing for a moment, I took out my vision phone in a belated thought.
Today is Sunday, Grape’s return day.
If you call Grape and ask for help… Then Grape will do something for you.

If I can’t deal with someone I can deal with… It is impossible for a low-level magical girl to defeat a top-level magical girl.
Call Grape and have him fight for you.
I called Grape.

“Hello! Grape… ! Now I… !”
[Idiot! Do you think I wouldn’t have thought of this?!]
“What… ?!”

Startled by the voice that wasn’t Grape’s, I removed the vision phone from my ear.
The screen shows the name and number of grapes.
However, what comes out is not the voice of Grape, but the voice of Riff, the voice I heard earlier.

[A shopping mall? Under! Grape will come for lunch tomorrow, so give it up! You… Don’t let you go! I caught it and used it as a test subject to dissect and dismantle you and the hypnotic machine… !]

Terrified, I ended the call and looked down at the vision phone in a daze.
What… ? Why did you call her… ?
Feeling anxious, I opened the messenger and sent a message to Grape.

A transmission failure indication appears only when radio waves are not good.
I sent a message to Rapid as well, just in case, but it still doesn’t send.
Even from Rapid… Even from Grape… It says that no message ever came…

“Is it a hack… !”

Recalling the hypnotized words of Riff, I understood the situation I was in.
Remote hacking of Vision Phone… No, should I say that he somehow hacked into True Vision’s telecommunications company?
I started the hypnosis app to check the situation.

The hypnosis app works, confirming the location of Rapid and Ash.
Rapid is stopped in Area 0 and Ash is stopped in one of the areas leading to the Outer Area.
It makes me a little curious as to why it is even possible to locate Rapid, but now is not the time to think about it.

All functions that require a data network other than hypnosis applications do not work.
Rapid is in area 0, and Grape cannot make calls or messengers.
You have to think of another way.

Suddenly, the words that Riff came out of his mouth over the phone bothered me.
Why is it called a shopping mall… How did you determine where I am now?
The answer comes easily.

GPS signal on vision phone, tracking my vision phone.
But I can’t throw away my vision phone.
Hypnosis app is my only weapon, it would be foolish to throw it away.

What about the magical girls on the subway?
It’s a good method, but is there a car arriving at the station?
It’s dangerous to walk to the subway expecting to be lucky enough to arrive on time.

But, at least this is the only way.
I found an image of the regular subway arrival ticket I used on my way to work and opened it.
In another 5 minutes… If you’re really lucky, you’ll be able to board the subway that arrived without delay.

Choosing a method that was no different from gambling, I ran towards the subway station.
Soon after arriving at the station, I froze on the spot.
Ominous letters are passing on the electric signboard that lets you know in advance when a vehicle is delayed for a long time even outside the subway.

“Damn it… !”

Information on delayed operation due to the mass outbreak of infectious agents.
No subway
I thought about it while wrapping my hair, then found a person talking on the phone nearby and fixed my gaze.

“Ah!”

The only one who hacked the vision phone was mine.
Others can use vision phones.
Borrowed from Grape… No, if you call Rapid… !

[Everyone, pay attention!]

At that moment, I heard a mechanical sound above my head.
Everyone around me is surprised and focuses their attention on one spot.
Feeling anxious, I slowly raised my head and looked at the sky in the direction the sound came from.

X is flying through the sky with Leaf in his arms, shooting blue flames from his feet and back.
With the dark sky behind his back, an elusive Leaf is seen blurring as he stretches his hand forward.
The penlight in my hand glowed silver.

“Everyone, it’s hypnotic time!”

A red light bursts, and the eyes of those who are already out of focus completely open.
Everyone around me, in this station, put on a blank expression.
I realized what Reef was up to and ran away, pushing the people with all my might.

“Catch the one who moved now!”
