Chapter 2131 – [I, Who Was Common on Earth, Am a Super Rare Species in Space?!]

Old Man Huz roughly cleaned up the clutter that had piled up in the living room and sat down. It was a bit weird for him not to bring a drink when he had a guest, but unlike other people, he didn’t have any bionics to serve him, so he decided to understand.

And I had a serious conversation with him. That’s because I think the secret he holds is related to the darkness of this civilization I’m looking for.

“Mr. Whos, I am just a tourist, but at the same time, I also have doubts. In fact, I came here personally to look around the civilizations of three races and look into the future of humanity, using the honeymoon as an excuse.”

“… Is that true?”

“Otherwise, would you have come from the Melnos system? The departure procedures are complicated there.”

“Hmm…”

To be honest, the evidence was weak, but he fell for it. If nothing else, it’s because he doesn’t have much time left.

About 10 years? Of course, there is still a lot of left, but even though it can be extended further with better genetic surgery, it is not possible. It’s because of the purity treaty I heard about from J. O before.

If not, I would have had the procedure a long time ago. There is no way a person with as much obsession as me would want to die without achieving his goal.

“Wait a moment.”

Soon he activated several devices. Seeing the tinnitus ringing slightly, it seems that the sound is made to prevent eavesdropping.

It is a device that does not simply disable listening devices, but also prevents hearing from a distance. Since the main race here is bionics, you have to be careful about eavesdropping.

“Okay, now we can talk in detail. So, did you say you were curious about the current status of humans belonging to the three major races?”

“Yes, I heard the basics from J.O., But I don’t know the details. So I took his introduction and found Mr. Huzu.”

“Then I guess we should talk about it. Since there aren’t that many of the human race left now. Even if a problem arises… Well, there’s not much time left to wait anyway.”

Ah, I don’t have any life left, so it’s all or nothing. It seems to me that there are about 10 years left, but it is a short time to do great work. You probably won’t be able to escape from the heavily guarded Human Earth with that.

After gathering his thoughts for a moment, he told me a story from the past. It’s a typical old man’s voice to say, ‘When I was young~’, but at least this is a useful story, so I decide to listen.

“When I was young, I was full of dreams. I had talent. I had no intention of going into space, but I thought I would contribute to the technological development of this era.”

“Oh, yes.”

“So, we have developed some groundbreaking technologies. Even if bionics can create specialized people through genetic manipulation, creative thinking is a level that cannot be reached through genes alone.”

Maybe it’s because I’m older and more like an old man, but I feel like his opinion is right.

To be honest, to reach transcendence, you need a creative spirit, and that cannot be created by artificial manipulation.

“As a human being, I ascended to a high position in Beon Castle… And I discovered something shocking.”

“What if it’s shocking?”

“This is a genetic map of humans living on Human Earth at the time.”

“Yes?”

“It wasn’t just data left behind for genetic surgery or treatment. The server that discovered the genetic map was none other than Mother Plant’s server.”

“…”

Mother Plant. A production facility where bionics can artificially create children.

It is probably the most important facility for bionics, but it is also thought-provoking. It’s such a culmination of biotechnology… Wouldn’t it be possible to produce just one human with a genetic map?

“Bionics are trying to produce humans artificially?”

“Of course, not right away. Because of the purity treaty, human cloning is strictly prohibited. If it were cloned even once and evidence remained, it would be a big problem in itself, so at least it hasn’t been done so far.”

In this world, there are not only bionics, but also other races such as Tesk and Noidera. If you look at the bionics, they may be preparing to do something similar, just pretending not to do it on the outside, but at least if it becomes a public issue, they will be criticized.

I don’t do anything that leaves behind physical evidence. Since the Mother Plant is a facility, it is probably the place with the strictest security in this area, and you probably don’t even know about it to a certain degree. It was only a combination of coincidence and luck that Mr. Huzu found out about it.

“After I found out, I retired. I realized that to them, humans are just valuable beings…”

“Is that why you want to escape from here?”

“That’s right. Would I be able to live by entrusting my life to those who can randomly produce humans if they want to? Even now, we are only raising them like livestock. I don’t know what our situation will be when bionics take over the hegemony of the universe.”〈 Br〉

“I guess so.”

Currently, there are only 100,000 humans, so they are precious, treated, and valuable, but if bionics become so prevalent that the purity treaty is abolished, humans may be created. If that happens, human value will fall to the bottom.

Meat dolls that have no individual value and are produced with just a click of a button… Even compared to bionics, they are inferior in specs and genes. If that happens, it will become post-apocalypse.

On the other hand, I think I understand why Utopia kept an eye on this civilization and sent me.

As it is a technology that is not accompanied by ethics, it must have been a calling agenda for Utopia, which looks at the uses of civilization technology. However, it is only a sentiment, there is no physical evidence, and externally, it protects humans and provides support for food, clothing, shelter, and various pleasures, so it would be a bit unfair to just call it that.

Utopia wanted me to look around at this civilization and hope that they would agree to convene. Then, even if there is a lack of physical evidence, the fact that the Great Demon King summoned two people is enough to be persuasive.

“I wasn’t just playing around either. I was working by gathering various evidence and comrades. However, apart from passion, my lifespan was… Meanwhile, you were the only one from the Melnos star system who had no collaborators.”

“That’s why you’re saying this.”

“Is there any other way than to die anyway? It wouldn’t be a bad idea to take a gamble at the end of my short life.”

There would have been no options left for him. All other humans were just drunk or obsessed with pleasure, and there was no one to follow in their footsteps, but in the meantime, there was a human from the Melnos star system who came by chance or fate.

I heard about the situation here, and I also asked him what he wanted.

“Then it looks like you want something from me.”

“I have data related to the human genetic map of the Mother Plant. Although there is no hard physical evidence, it will at least be enough to put the Baeon government in trouble. Please convey that to the Melnos government.”

“It would be possible if you just sent the data, but why are you asking me to do it?”

“If you are sending data, it will definitely take a while. The only thing left is to secretly send the storage medium containing the relevant data, but it is difficult because Human Earth is picky about whether it is imported or exported. And there is no way such a thing can be sent by space courier.”

“Ah.”

“But you can do it. Since you are not a human on our side, the inspection will not be so strict, and above all, aren’t you free? All you have to do is secretly take it to the spaceship and return to the Melnos system.”

“Hmm…”

It is a space civilization that also has warp technology, but because of that, there are times when analog methods work. How can you avoid censorship and secretly hide the data and put the Baeon government in trouble?

But that is not a fundamental solution. In the end, it’s just going to be difficult, but it doesn’t mean the Beon government will fail.

“There is no freedom for those of us who are raised in this way. So I hope that our treatment will improve.”

“What if you say it’s an improvement in treatment?”

“It would be good to at least do something productive. And, I don’t know about Task or Noidera, who are potential enemies, but I hope it would be possible to at least travel to the Melnos system where the human government is located.”

“You’re simple.”

“It’s too late to dream too much anyway… I should pursue something even a little better.”

First, his doctor knew. He received some good information and also obtained material to negotiate with the Beon government. So he plans to join his plan.

But I won’t do just one.

“You know it’s a dangerous job. So I’ll make sure I get paid as well.”

“Do you need something? If you die anyway, you can take everything you have at home that is meaningless.”

“No, that’s not it… Didn’t you say you gathered your comrades earlier?”

“Hmm? You really?!”

“Anyway, our honeymoon plan was to visit Tesk and Noidera. It would be a good idea to pick up negotiation materials there as well.”

“… Is that possible?”

“It will be possible. My wife will help me too.”

Here, I have to cosplay as an ordinary person, so Lulu will have to step in when using force, but I think she will like it. One of the reasons I chose this as my honeymoon destination is because I can protect myself, not because I can protect myself.

Of course, nothing like that would happen if I got called up… But it’s not something I have to do right now.

“And if only one bionics has a problem, Taskk and Noidera may expand their power in the meantime. In order for humans to gain freedom, they must all be weakened, so we will need negotiation material from all three races.”

“I understand. First, I will contact my comrades separately. I won’t tell you in detail because there is a possibility that it may leak out in the middle, but I will contact you first when I go to the Human Earth.”

“Please.”

Mr. Hus gave me something like a crystal stick that we use as a storage medium here, like a USB. Considering the difference in capacity between the floppy diskettes used in the past and the USB of today due to the development of technology, this storage medium of the space age would have had a capacity so large that it would be considered a terabyte unit.

Since coming to Human Earth, I have gained various information and have a clearer purpose, the harvest is great. All that’s left is to move.

“Good luck. For our… Human freedom.”

“Yes, I have good news for you.”

Afterward, I left Human Earth. I am also human and there was not much inspection when I came in, so I was able to easily take out the mother plant information.

Then, he goes back to Lulu, who is waiting for him at the dorm, and tells him the story of what happened on the Human Earth. I have a clear purpose for this trip, so I consult on various aspects related to it.

“On the outside, you treat people well, so why are you doing this? But behind the scenes, you’re peeling pumpkin seeds.”

“That’s right. Anyway, we have to go around the Human Earth for each race and collect negotiation materials.”

“It’s a good excuse for a honeymoon. No one will think anything strange if you go on a tour and enter the Melnos system. But…”

Both Lulu and I noticed a change in air current. To be exact, the bionics who secretly followed us and monitored and guarded us.

You may have heard, albeit late, that I had contact with Mr. Hood in the Human Earth. There is no hostility, but it looks like they may be doing something as the surveillance gaze has become stronger.

“You can’t touch them outright. They value humans so much that they even protect them. If even one person goes missing or dies, they will give the excuse to other races, but they cannot threaten them with their lives.”

“It’s nothing to worry about, but in the end, it’s only about my life. Then I guess I’ll probably mess with you, right?”

“At times like that, I have an idea. Just try to contact him.”

“…?”

And the next day, I left Lulu and went to Human Earth, so I decided to take a day off and spend time at the hotel.

The guards were still watching us, disguised as hotel guests, and it seemed like they were looking for an opportunity. I think they’re probably trying to get Lulu and I to fall apart…

“Go away for a moment. I’ll take care of this place.”

“If a problem arises, call me right away. If you don’t suit up, I’ll throw all the cosplays of ordinary people and crush them.”

“Oh, that’s no fun. Anyway, see what I do.”

Eventually, I deliberately stayed away from Lulu and gave them an excuse. And in the meantime, the Watchers approached to contact Lulu.

Although they are giggling in an unseen place, you can roughly understand the situation and their conversation through your senses. Secretly eavesdropping to find out what’s going on.

-Are you Lulu?

-Who are you?

-I would like to talk for a moment about your husband. It’s nothing else…

They mixed truth and lies to the right extent. I told him that I had entered the Human Earth and contacted Mr. Whos, and on the other hand, I persuaded him that I had been tricked by him into receiving and exporting items that could be used for terrorism.

-Your husband is not at fault. If there is a crime, it would be the person who used favor to deceive a fellow human. So, I would like to retrieve the related items before the situation escalates.

-Is that so?

-Yes, we will prevent any damage, so if you cooperate, we will take care of it.

-I can’t believe my husband did something like that. It’s also sudden. What happens if I don’t cooperate?

-If that happens, we will have no choice but to report it and take official action. First, arrest the two of you…

“Huh? What now!!!!!”

And at that time, Lulu shouted so loudly that there was no point in eavesdropping. Thanks to this, the attention of other people around me is focused.

Knowing that was a signal, I went back to where Lulu was. And when Lulu looked at me, she acted urgently and shouted.

“Honey!!! Run away!!! These guys are planning to force you to register on Human Earth because your wife is a bionic!!!!!!”

“Yes?!?! Oh, no!!! We…”

“These bastards, how dare they target my husband!!!!! Die!!!!!!”

Whoa, whoa!!!!

Lulu lightly punched them and sent them flying with overwhelming power. Even though Bionics are the essence of biotechnology, and among them, they are specialized in combat, their opponent is the Bloodier, a dimensional species. Even with his specs, he’s overwhelming, but since he was attacked by surprise, will he be okay?

They flew through the air and crashed into the hotel wall. After lightly dealing with them, Lulu runs toward me, grabs me with her small body, and prepares to run away.

“Now!!! Now let’s jump out and go to another star system!!!!”

“As expected, it’s Bloody. I hear you’re okay with making a fuss.”

“Thank you for the compliment!!!!!”

We immediately called the spaceship Arpone. Get on board right away, break through the star’s atmosphere, warp, and leave the Beon star system.

I think the Baeon government will have a hard time for a while due to Lulu’s troubles.
