Chapitre 24: White Suit Newbie
Twelve hours ago, on the same day.
Thirty dead bodies were lying on the top of the half-built 40 stories construction site.
All the bodies were burned and looked as if they were electrocuted. Among the corpses, there was one man in a red suit who was shot multiple times in the body.
Suddenly, one of the bodies moved and stood up. His body was also burnt, but it was regenerating. He removed his mask and revealed his white hair and green eyes.
He yawned and grunted as he turned around and looked at the dead bodies.
"How did this happen?"
The man recalled what happened a while ago.
"There is something big going on here; something interesting."
The man took out a small device from his pocket and pressed the switch on it. "Hello?" he uttered.
[Please Insert Your Code Name.]
"This is an emergency! Connect me with the Boss!" the man yelled, acting as if his life was in danger.
BEEP!
The line connected after the brief silence, and a voice spoke, [Who is this?]
"Sir, It's me! The newbie!"
[What do you want, newbie? And why Are you contacting me?]
"Boss, there is a problem."
[What do you mean? You couldn't find the thing. Actually… what are you doing? Where is the red suit?]
"That's the problem, sir. We were attacked," the newbie asserted.
[What?! Attacked? By who?]
"We went to the house but couldn't find the thing you asked for. And on our way back, the red suit decided to stop by at a construction site to contact you, but then he got scared, thinking you would be mad."
The newbie was speaking as though he was in pain, but he was smirking while talking. His action and voice didn't match.
[And? Who attacked the team?]
"Red suit, boss. He was so furious and blamed everything on the team. He said, `You worthless shits couldn't even find a simple thing. You all are more useless than a sword in this era'."
[What happened after that?] the Boss asked in a curious tone.
"Then red suit fused and electrocuted all the team members using the chip in their suits," newbie informed.
[Red suit has always been short-tempered. Where is he now? Let me talk to him.]
"He is dead, boss," the newbie smirked as he kicked the dead body of the red suit.
[Dead? Red suit is dead?! Who killed him?] he gasped and said, [Don't tell me… you killed him? Wait, how are you alive if the red suit electrocuted everyone?]
"Fortunately, I took off my mask to drink some energy drink. But my lower body is injured, Boss. It hurts, Boss. Please send someone for my aid," the newbie acted and suppressed his laughter.
[First, tell me who killed the red suit?]
"The team members, Boss. They blew him up into pieces."
[SIGH!] the Boss sighed and continued, [Red suit was one of my best agents.]
"Boss, please help. It really hurts. I will die at this rate."
[Tell me one reason to help you.]
"I am the legendary mechanic and technician ever been in the history and ever will be in the future. If you lose me, then you won't be able to get the new gadgets and technologies you wanted."
After a brief pause, the Boss uttered, [Ping me your location, I will send the jet.]
"I already did, boss."
[The jet is on its way. Hang on until then.]
"Thank you, Boss. It hurts so much that I think I might die!"
[Don't worry. I have the finest doctors, and they will save you.]
The line disconnected, and the newbie threw the device down to the ground.
"Stupid, brainless, dumb boss," the newbie muttered.
The newbie had lied about everything.
When Red suit and his team were going to Ziro's house, the location was hacked and changed to the construction site.
When they reached there, the red suit knew there was something wrong. And suddenly, all the team members died because someone hacked into their system and electrocuted all the team members.
But the red suit's suit didn't have a chip, so he was alive. Then, the person who hacked into their system came and killed the red suit.
"Judging by the moves and body structure of the killer, it was probably a female— unless males got huge chests," he scoffed.
"She killed the red suit like it was nothing. She was carrying a toy gun, and its bullet passed through the red suit's ultimate plasma barrier and his suit itself. The person who created it must be a great mechanic." After a brief pause, he added, "Not better than me, though."
"But why? And how did all this happen?" he questioned himself. "The girl was prepared for everything and knew everything. It's almost as if she…"
He shook his head and muttered, "No, no. That can't be right. But if it is, then I need to confirm it."
He sat on his knees and closed his eyes with his hands placed on his legs, almost as if he was meditating.
After some seconds, he opened his eyes and muttered, "I can't believe it. Pathetic."
He covered his face and mumbled, "My acting was so cringed. Argh! I want to die!"
SIGH!
"Hmm~ So someone messed with the timelines. No wonder I felt weird." He then smirked and said, "But at least I got some information."
He stood up and looked up at the sky, "Sadly, the world was destroyed, but I guess it doesn't matter to me."
He walked to the red suit and took out a box he was carrying in his waist pocket. He opened the box and took out a syringe filled with a blue liquid.
"So this is a relic, huh?"
The newbie stabbed and injected the syringe into his chest. His veins and eyes turned red as if his entire body was about to burst, but he showed no sign of pain.
[Relic Injected.]
[Installing The Relic.]
[Installation Failed.]
"Tch!" he clicked his tongue and threw the syringe on the floor. "Fake and artificial relic."
He looked at the dead body of the red suit; his mouth was open when he was killed as he was screaming in pain before he died.
"It's a shame that I couldn't kill you," the newbie murmured.
It was the middle of the day, and the sun was above the head. Suddenly, there was a zipping sound as though someone had opened a zip. Soon after, the sound of water dripping followed by the sound of a zip being closed.
The newbie once again looked at the red suit's body, and its mouth and nostrils were filled with a yellow liquid.
He sneered and turned around to the edge of the building. "That eased my mood, and I feel a little better now."
He glanced around and said, "The jet should be here anytime now, and I need to pretend to be injured, but first…" He stood up straight and asserted, "Run system check-up."
[Running System Check-up.]

[System Successfully Synchronized.]

SIGH~
He sighed softly and uttered, "At least I found the last Edens."
"I need to find the other two relics soon and finish what I couldn't do— thousands of years ago."
"Once I deal with this stupid boss, I am coming for you, Ziro Edens."
"I hope you get strong enough to put a scratch on me, or I will wipe every loved one of yours."
The newbie saw a jet coming his way, so he fell to the ground and pretended to be injured. Two men jumped out of the jet and carried the newbie into the jet.
Soon after, a missile fell on the construction site and obliterated it.
