Neurolink System in the Modern World-Chapter 278: Borders

"These files, how did she obtain them?" I found myself perplexed as I examined the information she handed over on my computer.

The USB contain the blueprint of the department store above the Cereberum HQ, not the HQ itself.

It highlighted some access points to bypass the elevator. However, there was a discouraging note—it mentioned the place was covered in sensors, making sneaking in nearly impossible.

It also contained some information into the prison's layout, highlighting the specific cells I needed to reach. The dilemma at hand was whether I should trust this information or not.

I questioned myself, wondering, 'Could this be a trap?' After contemplating for a moment, the likelihood of her betrayal seemed minimal, especially since my mother picked her. I doubted my mom would overlook such a possibility.

I kept digging into the file, trying to absorb every detail to remember. It was essential to have multiple plans ready, just in case things went sideways. Even with my powerful abilities, I wasn't willing to get complacent and risk being captured. That would be the height of stupidity for a system user like me.

"Well, looks like my peaceful days are numbered," I sighed to myself. Everything's falling into place.

Now, I just needed to wait for Rei Mei and the other two, and we could proceed with the operation.

After this, I'm certain the entire Cerebrum would exert effort to hunt us down if we succeeded in escaping.

"Time to double check my plan," I mused, initiating a mental simulation.

With closed eyes, I immersed myself in the dream world to strategize.

Although I couldn't replicate the exact details due to the file's incomplete data, it did outline specific security measures that demanded my attention.

The sea breeze passed by me, gently tousling my hair as I stood there, gazing at the horizon. In the distance, a faint outline of an island emerged.

"Oppa, you're here!" Rei Mei greeted me, standing on the port with two other beautiful girls I recognized from the photo.

I didn't want to get involved in whatever their business was. However, after receiving another call and learning about their plan to infiltrate a military base in the North to rescue someone, I immediately came here to gain some levels. After all, it's not every day that I get the chance to take down and kill a lot of people.

A place soon to be engulfed in bloodshed felt like my natural habitat, and I would be foolish to miss this opportunity. Besides, attacking a lightly armed military camp was much easier than venturing into an underground Cerebrum base with unknown dangers.

"Hello, Oppa," came a small, respectful greeting from a girl with a small frame, her head bowed in a polite nod.

With short black hair and small eyes covered by bangs, I could tell she was quite a beauty from the glimpses of her face. This girl must be Min-Hee, a North Korean who had escaped years ago with her family.

She appeared docile and, frankly, quite innocent. However, I was pretty sure she was far stronger than anyone I had fought so far, with the exception of Rei Mei.

Rei Mei, annoying and childish as she may be, possessed an overpowered ability. In our previous clash, things could have taken a turn for the worse if she had really unleashed the full extent of her power.

That's all in the past now. At this moment, I'm confident I can handle her speed, especially after my major upgrade during the fire accident, which cost a lot of lives due to the reckless actions of that Fire guy.

Then, there was another girl. She sat in a chair, holding a black umbrella, and just observed me without uttering a word.

She has an artificial white hair, an eye patch concealing her left eye, and draped in black gothic attire—Rei Mei seemed weird, but this girl easily claimed the title of the weirdest.

She was the living embodiment of someone stuck in an eternal 8th-grade syndrome. I thought my mom had successfully cured them all of their mental disorder, but judging by their antics, it seems my mom's plan failed.

'I wish everyone could be like Sung Hei,' I sighed to myself, realizing she was by far the most normal among the bunch.

Oh, I missed her already. Maybe I should have begged her to come just for the sake of being able to talk to someone who made sense.

But, checking out this trio, they're probably the only ones who can genuinely interact with me, thanks to their immunity from my suggestion. Not a bad deal, I guess; at least I feel somewhat normal when I'm around them.

"What's the plan?" I asked.

"We're going to take a boat and sail directly from Daeryong Island to the North," she replied with a wide grin on her face, as if she just spilled the greatest idea of the century.

"That's suicidal, you idiot. The border patrol would attack us the moment we get near their borders," I shook my head. I thought she couldn't be more disappointing, but she always manages to outdo herself from time to time.

"Don't worry, Oppa, we already have a plan," Rei Mei replied with a confident smile.

"Hurry up and tell me,"

A playful grin formed on her face and then she leaned closer to whisper something. freēnovelkiss.com

"That's her power?" I exclaimed in shock.

Glancing at Min-Hee again, her stock went through the roof, just like the Dot bubble, when I found out about her powers.

"You're such an amazing girl," I couldn't help but smile proudly as I patted her head gently. She started blushing, soaking up the attention like a flower in the sun as I continued to spoil her.

"Oppa, that's not fair!" Rei Mei pouted, her cheeks flushed with envy, clearly not pleased with the attention Min-Hee was getting.

"Hey, cut the nonsense and get the ship ready," I ordered her with a stern tone.

"I know it !.You're a PE-"

"Complete that sentence and you're dead," I warned her.

"PERFECT GUY, I meant to say perfect guy," she bit her tongue and turned away.
