My Alter Ego’s Path to Greatness Chapter 45

the Buncheonhoe (3)

spirit world, Hans searched the brains of the Buncheonhoe executives again and extracted information.

This was possible because, although his mental world was devastated by the aftermath of the battle, his physical brain was not damaged much.

Of course, it was affected to some extent and resulted in significant losses, but this is something we have to deal with.

‘Hmm, it wasn’t as easy as I thought though.’

A fight with the leadership of the Buncheonhoe that took place in the spirit world.

At first, I thought I could easily win with just “Mind Herb”, but it wasn’t easy to deal with because they also had unique skills related to it.

Well, he would have been able to plant prohibition in other people’s mental worlds and roam around as he pleases.

The man’s mental power was at an incredible level, but even Hans, who concentrated his avatars’ resources, was not inferior to him.

However, no matter what kind of unique skill it had, a problem arose every time it was allowed to attack, the “Bright Scenery Index” was shaken and the amount of information applied to the “Mind Hub” exploded.

Even so, Hans is constantly operating the “Mind Hub” to combat the continuous mental contamination coming from the “Fragment of the Immortal King.”

In that situation, the enemy’s attacks continue to accumulate and the blocked information flows back, creating a dangerous situation.

‘So I just let it go.’

During the war, rebellions erupted from within and enemy attacks came from outside.

Is there any need to be caught in the middle and suffer?

They simply opened up the enemy’s invasion route and guided it towards the rebels, and instead concentrated their forces on the opposite side, completely blocking the mainland.

The enemy, who knew nothing, rushed at the rebels with inertia…

The result was a spectacular victory for the rebels.

Even the religious order called it ‘mental pollution that no being can overcome.’

There was no way his attack would work on the fragments, which were a collection of evil intentions.

In the process, the mental world that became the battlefield was devastated and tattered, but it was none of my business as I was going to die anyway.

Yes, even the land where the war took place in the first place was a colony of the enemy army.

‘This was a trick that was possible because it was someone else’s mental world and I was in a spiritual state.’

Still, if the results are good, isn’t everything good?

I was leisurely watching the fight…

The green spirit was torn to pieces by the black man who was charging at me in madness, and after barely escaping, I leisurely put the leash back on the lost fragment.

‘Still, it’s a bit of a shame that I lost him.’

With his spiritual body damaged to that extent, he would never be safe, but it was a bit disappointing that he could not definitely finish it off.

In addition, there was no benefit other than the information learned through the conversation, and rather, it only caused damage to the memory that could be obtained from the executive’s brain.

However, it was a bit early to express such sentiments.

《An entity gained enlightenment by extorting the karma of others. The skill “Dark Magic” evolves into the special skill “Way of Magic”.》

‘Huh? suddenly?’

Of course, at some point I felt like I had reached a limit, but I thought I still needed more time…

But I soon found out the reason.

[Oh, you absorbed the remnants of the spiritual body scattered in the spirit world. Isn’t this unexpected income?]

In the process of reading the executive’s memories with black magic, fragments of the green spirit body scattered throughout the mental world came in.

Along with all the knowledge and enlightenment that comes with it.

And extorting business also meant that as one side grew, the other side’s level was lowered.

‘I was wondering if there was a way to use it again… but it’s not a method that can be used generally.’

Coincidentally, the other person was damaged while in a spiritual state, and the mental world where the debris was scattered was like an inanimate object that had been devastated and had lost its function.

In addition, the fact that the undead, who lacked existence itself, were forcibly connected to the spiritual world through black magic played a complex role.

Of course, this was also a dangerous thing that could lead to mental contamination, but as always, it had nothing to do with me.

‘Even if all other conditions are the same, a sacrifice is needed for someone who can invade another person’s mind with a spiritual form… I guess someone with that kind of ability is not common.’

The guy who got hit this time will most likely start running away the next time he encounters him.

It should be said that this was a special case.

But thanks to you, I was able to overcome the wall, so I can celebrate now.

Thanks to “Way of Magic,” I can now expand my reach into other fields as well as black magic.

‘Of course, there are things to take care of before then.’

Phew—

in an instant, black magic arose and Hans, enveloped in darkness, jumped through space.

The goal is the place I learned about this time.

It was the Seoul branch of Beoncheonhoe.

***

While Heinz remained at the villa and managed the remnants, Hans worked diligently.

Unfortunately, the coordinates I extracted from the executive were damaged, so I couldn’t find them right away, but I was able to search the area and find their home base.

In the meantime, it goes without saying that the growth of magic through the “Way of Magic” was of great help.

But their response was even faster than that.

‘As soon as I read the memory, I headed this way and searched the surrounding area, and the delay wasn’t that long…’

By the time I got there, they were already busy clearing their base and preparing to flee.

“Ugh… How already!”

“Oh, no!”

Fortunately, it wasn’t too late and I was able to capture the guys who were busy incinerating their data and read their memories.

[Has the order already come…]

I just realized that the order to withdraw had already come from above and the executives immediately went into hiding.

He handed over the information incineration to the branch’s lower-ranking officials and disappeared.

Since each of them individually disappeared, there was no information to be found from the remaining men.

‘Still, I’m glad we caught one executive. I was able to obtain some information.’

“Kkeukkeuuuuuuuuu…”

Hans looked down at the older man who was struggling with his head held.

Director of the technology research center of the Seoul branch of Beoncheonhoe.

Unlike other executives, in his greed to get even more research materials, he missed the time to run away and was captured by Hans.

Thanks to this, I was able to retrieve most of the research materials intact, so I should be grateful.

Of course, that and a peaceful death are different.

[Squeak…squeak…]

Hans glanced at the undead executive and looked at the rest of the data.

Important things, such as the latest operational orders, were prioritized separately, and the content was mainly simple, such as an overview of past operations.

At least it was a result that was achieved by breaking in and destroying the magic right before they destroyed all the remaining data.

The director of the research center may not have been interested in anything other than research, but he didn’t know anything about this, so he wasn’t of much help.

‘Anyway, I think it’s true that they’ve been active for a long time.’

Files organized by year and small USB sticks attached to them.

However, according to the information searched through their minds, the details are immediately reported to the superiors and then discarded.

This means that the data stored here is literally just a compendium.

Hans first neatly packed up the remaining items at his home base and moved back to the villa where Heinz was waiting.

There were still many remnants there from whom information could be extracted.

[I expected it to be like this. There is nothing better than the first guy.]

However, since the Buncheonhoe was made up of branch organizations, there was no one with more information than the executive I first read about.

Of course, the skills and knowledge each person acquired were helpful.

“Hmm, it seems like it’s settled to some extent. The leaders of the hardliners of the clan were also dealt with, and the Beoncheonhoe that was helping them ended.”

[Hehehe… Reading the executive’s memories, it seems like Alpha was half a member of the Buncheon Association before. After this incident, he completely disappeared.]

Heinz ate his mouth with regret.

Because I felt so bad that I couldn’t eat Alpha, the leader of the hardliners.

Of course, considering that the level of the trap was quite tight, if Alpha had been here as well, there would be a high probability that he would have been unable to overcome them and would have run away.

If you look at it that way, it was a lucky situation again.

Thanks to this, I was able to overeat to the point where I felt bloated.

Of course, if it was the blood of a high-level person, he would have drank it down, even if it meant regurgitating all the low-level blood.

“Now that the hardliners have been destroyed to this point, he knows that returning too late will be of no use. “Now that I have nowhere else to go, I will completely turn to that direction.”

[It would have been nice if I could have tracked him down right away and definitely put an end to his breathing. It’s a shame.]

“It seems like the Beoncheonhoe are a bigger force than we thought. “Based on the information so far, it appears that this is not an organization limited to Korea.”

[Now that I think about it, there was data taken from their base. I don’t know if there’s any trick there, so I’ll have to check here again.]

Hans and Heinz talking back and forth.

Of course, it was nothing more than a muttering to myself in the process of organizing my thoughts, but it didn’t really matter now.

After all, there was no one alive here other than Heinz.

Hans took out all the materials from the Beoncheonhoe branch that he had packed with him.

It was not difficult to check the organized files because the entire cabinet and bookshelf containing the files were placed in sub-space.

Hans mainly looks at the research logs, and Heinz looks through the operation outlines divided by year.

It was difficult to check the attached USB right away, so I was only getting the general information.

“…her?”

Heinz stopped when he found a document.

Hans, who was examining the data, also stopped momentarily, like a robot whose power was turned off.

This is where Heinz’s eyes fell.

〈Operation Plan: Seoul Station, August 20XX〉

A document containing a date and place that Han Seong-hyeon can never forget.

It was there.

***

“ah! “Is Mr. Heinz here?”

At dawn, Heinz went to see Jin Shaoran.

To inform you of the outcome of last night’s fight and…

“…Huh? What happened to the hardliners? You want to meet our leader again… No, wait a minute. “Before that, could you please say it again?”

“We disposed of most of the hardliners’ executives except Alpha during last night. A few Gammas dispatched to local areas were missed, but that would not have any effect on the general trend. “I would like to have a conversation with the leader of the moderate faction regarding that.”

Heinz calmly repeated what he had said mechanically.

Jin So-ran seemed confused for a moment, perhaps because he was suddenly exposed to shocking information, but then carefully observed Heinz.

“Well… Mr. Heinz. I’ll upload it once I see it. We need time to confirm that fact… and it was so sudden….”

“Jin So-ran.”

Heinz’s indifferent voice cut off her sentence.

A sudden silence.

Heinz quietly looked down at her.

“…!”

The scent of blood was so thick that it made me dizzy.

The vampire factor that had rapidly increased after feasting on countless vampires last night spewed out blood magic all at once.

Jin So-ran stiffened and held his breath, feeling a sense of intimidation as if his heart was being squeezed.

‘I knew Mr. Heinz was strong, but I never thought it would be this strong…!’

It was not simply pressed down with the amount of blood magic power.

Something was fundamentally different.

A fear that stimulates more inner instincts, as if a predator is staring at you.

At some point, she realized that she was breathing heavily.

‘At least level 7, maybe higher…. It’s not my place to judge.’

She quickly assessed the situation and immediately changed her stance.

“I’ll contact you right away and schedule an appointment as soon as possible!”

The leader of the moderate faction is level 7.

He didn’t feel this way even when he faced the leader, so Heinz must be considered stronger than that.

I heard a rumor that the hardliner’s alpha had reached level 8, but it was unconfirmed information and I had never seen it in person, so it was off the topic.

“Okay, then let’s talk about ways to strengthen the clan’s military power. “And the treatment of hardliners.”

“Yeah right…yes?”

Heinz now has a reason to increase his power as quickly as possible.

The clan was an appropriate force in that respect.

Although the hard-liners were cut off and their military power was reduced, they still had basic strength as they had existed for a long time.

In terms of secrecy and intelligence influence, it was one of the few organizations in the behind-the-scenes world in Korea.

They also have a new ability to put a leash on them, so they will use it as much as they can.

It’s probably not a bad proposal even from a moderate standpoint.

Depending on how you accept it, the conversation can proceed in a direction that is mutually beneficial.
