The Origin of Species

“Sunbae, we need to get to Lantis. ”

“Yes? Already? ”

The question was not less than good. Everyone, including Iran, tilts their heads. But the most stuffy person was me, not them.

‘The danger was clearly indicative of Iran. ’

Why did it suddenly turn into Surin? Then suddenly I saw Sohee's cell phone.

"Really?"

I swiftly snatched Sohee's cell phone.

“Brother?”

“Wait a minute.”

What happened earlier on her screen was being played as a video, and there were numerous comments underneath. Maybe this is what changed Atlantic movements? The possibility was enough, the foresight of what would happen in the future. If the future changes, the foresight must also change.

“It seems that Atlanta has changed its plans. The target is not Iran. ”

“Sir, what does that mean? ”

I turned on the video on my phone. On the screen comes me and Iran. But I could get more information from the comments underneath, or from the articles involved. that we took the limo to the hotel, that Lindsey seemed to be burning in the limo, and so on.

And most importantly,

Surin's news was being spread simultaneously through the media. It's called the Dinner of Lantis.

“Oh, I guess you had a meeting today. ”

“Lindsey, it's a meeting. I'll be there every day. The news is all over the place. ”

“Oh, is this why · · ·? ”

“Yes."

My actions were originally as strictly confidential. However, after coming to Korea, our information was being exposed in real time, and Atlanta seemed to have indirectly learned that Surin was alone.

‘I was too stupid to trust my gut. ’

To be honest, I didn't expect it to be wrong. Therefore, it may be a good thing that we know now. I opened my lips and contacted Surin. Beyond the sound connection, you hear Surin's voice, looking relaxed.

What's going on? I heard you're going to Korea.]

“It got a little twisted. I think Atlantis has gone to Lantis. ”

[Here?]

“Well, I think you need to get out of here quickly. ”

[Okay. I'll head straight for the secret location of the Battery Tower.]

As expected, Surin begins to move swiftly, conveying only what she needs.

“Sohee, can you switch places? ”

“Yes, brother. I will temporarily replace Korea with an armory tower. ”

“Okay.”

Sohee was able to retrieve the stored space once, so it was the only way to meet Surin at the fastest now. Then Surin, beyond the connection of sound, said again.

[Lee Won, then don't come to Lantis, go to the desert with nothing.]

“Are you serious? ”

[As long as Atlanta is not an idiot, she must have gained immunity.]

“Draw them away?”

[Yes, we have to deal with this. Or when? How big is the world?]

Surin's last words were a taunt to Atlantic march. He's actually been extremely shy since the encounter with Leo. To be honest, Leo's strength at that time was much more than Atlantic, and he died in our hands, so we had to move carefully.

“You gonna be okay?"

[Yes, I'm serious. In any case, wouldn't it be difficult for him to exert his full power in the desert? There won't be many casualties around here. Oh, and there's hope.]

I smiled and asked.

“Why, am I nervous on my own? ”

[Aigoo, why does the story fall back on you again? Let's prepare for the bay.]

“Okay. Okay. Take care.”

[Yes. I'll get back to you when I get to the armor tower.]

While I was disconnecting from Surin, I heard Lindsey and Rami on the phone. Lindsey sometimes acted as quickly as before.

“Yes, Lami. Everyone, please come to the tower. ”

[Hey, I'll take Hope with me.]

Lindsey, who disconnected her voice, sighs with worried eyes.

“Phew, I feel a little uneasy. ”

“Why?”

“Our enemies aren't the only ones in Atlanta. There was something I said. ”

It turned out that this was the situation that the constructs wanted the most. Fisherman's Day. The disappearance of either me or Atlanta is the best scenario they can hope for.

‘Hmm · · ·. ’

My head hurts. Is it because I'm dirty? I was exhausted by the situation the constructs wanted, but it was unacceptable to let Atlanta go. How can we make this situation better? I told the crew from the destination.

“It's too late to catch a happy boat, and we'll get to the nearest shore first. I have to fly from there.”

“Yes, sir. ”

After that, I took a moment to ask my wives. Of course, because of the satellite AND, we've been using time constraints as a habit. Hardly any of our conversations flowed fully to the constructs. Of course, they've already got the information from Surin's words.

“What do you all think of Nine? ”

The first answer was the lead.

“Mrs. Robot? She seems like a pretty good AI. ”

“Why?”

“Look at what you're doing to hope and other kids. He's very charming for the kids. I love those eunuchs. ”

I shake my head. I can't believe I like kids.

“It's postponable enough. Just because you like kids doesn't mean you can trust them. ”

“Mister, can't you believe my eyes? How well I see people. It was all because of my eyes that I followed you before. ”

Then Lindsey gets involved.

“Sis, at that time the sailor told you to be a faggot. ”

“Hey! When did I? ”

“Anyway, I agree with the preliminary opinion. There's no such thing as a woman named Nine. They liked it, but they seemed to like hanging out with people. ”

The wives generally seemed to favor Nine. But among them, Iran's words touched me the most.

“I don't know what you think you're asking us, but it shouldn't be that hard to tell the truth from falsehood. Your power is time, isn't it? ”

Yes, my power was time. Therefore, knowing the truth is in a better position than anyone else.

“Get back in touch with Rami. And put me on the phone. ”

“Yes, brother. ”

While Sohee was touching the soundlink, I looked at the cracked hourglass. And as soon as I got in touch with Nine, I asked.

“Nain, you know how things work, don't you? ”

[Yes.]

Short answer. What does she have in mind?

“How do you think the constructs will behave? ”

[Probably observing. What I'm saying now.]

“How would they move if they were in the shape of a sheep's cloth? ”

[Well, they're very suspicious. He's a coward.]

“What if you betray us? ”

Yes?

I looked at the time and turned back 10 seconds. All previous conversations are lost, and conversations with Nine begin again from the beginning.

“I assume your voice is being passed on to them through a satellite? ”

[Yes, Clan.]

“They already know we're fighting Atlanta. ”

[Of course, maybe they're behind this.]

“Why do you think that is? ”

[They have deliberately contacted me. Either way, one of them was killed by Atlanta, which means he made contact with Atlanta. I don't know what's going on with each other.]

“Would they notice if you betrayed us? ”

[Well, of course they're looking down through the satellite.]

“When were you born? ”

[Why all of a sudden?]

I turned back time again. The conversation with Nine continues every 10 seconds. Sometimes I asked a sudden question, and sometimes I asked a provocative, sharp question. By gathering the information I learned that way, I asked a completely new question.

“Nine, the constructs leaked new information about you. That's where the real traitor comes in. ”

Don't believe that. It's a trap. They can't betray Mother.]

“You betrayed me. And they're not? ”

[That · ·.]

It seemed to be blocked. I pressed her harder.

“The time of birth was 8976 years ago now. Coded Z-9. A body made by combining ancient human genes, origin genes, and stem genes. Personality comes from one of the ancient human women, intelligence comes from a computer called Vital-9. And now he's pretending to be a traitor, looking for our weaknesses. Isn't this who you really are? ”

[Front and front information is correct · · ·. Not behind.]

“The real traitor has already handed over your information. ”

[Trust me! I don't want to betray you! I don't know how to explain it, but I'm very happy in my life right now.]

An unfair voice.

Returns 10 seconds. I've had countless conversations with her this way. While exchanging status with Lindsey, I became obsessed with talking to Nine.

And...

When I finally turned back the clock, I only said one word.

“Nain, hurry to the tower. ”

[Yes.]

Lindsey asked me when I disconnected.

“Brother, did you go back in time? ”

“Well, I exchanged states with you. Are you on standby right now? ”

“Yes, I don't remember. ”

“Well, let's hurry anyway. If we're going to get to the desert first, we need to fly fast. ”

...

Surin skipped his dinner with the companies and moved quickly towards the tower. The problem is the difference in longevity. Atlanta can gauge her position, but she doesn't know her location very well.

“Tsk, I wanted to avoid the cold wind. ”

She hurries forward with the wind. However, if the body is the same as before, it would be a lie. Visibly swollen belly. It wasn't Manzac's stomach yet, but I can tell by the looks of it that she's pregnant.

“Hyun, let's just hold on a little while while I shake it. ”

Surin whispers it in his stomach, never slowing down. It's because if you meet Atlanta here, you risk both your life and your own. Surin is a true opponent, but Atlanta is a far superior opponent. To deal with him, there had to be absolute duality.

‘Maybe Atlanta was in Korea. But as soon as he heard about Lee Won, he left. And he's headed this way. So we have plenty of time. ’

Luckily, Sohee remembered the Battery Tower. Once she remembers the space, she can use this operation because she can reset it.

‘Phew, I should have told Sohee to remember Amtari beforehand. ’

In fact, Sohee has never visited Lantis since the Leo incident. It's because Two-way didn't come to Lantis. He too was busy living under the same occupation as himself, and eventually it was a pregnant Surin who crossed None and Lantis continents.

‘I'm too careless. Whew, my baby's in my belly. ’

They know they're busy with each other, but they complain about it for no reason. In particular, Lee was handling a lot of work. As I was thinking about it, a huge rock tower appeared in front of her. She jumps into the armory without hesitation.

The target is a secret space of six layers.

We're still a long way from home.

‘I wish Atlanta could feel my energy. ’

If Atlant feels his energy, he will follow it into the Battery, and if he does not feel his energy, he will return to Washington. Anyway, this is good. There won't be any problems inside you or the prefecture anyway.

And Surin's movements are being reported to the constructs in an orderly fashion via satellites.
