The Genius Wizard Who Takes Medicine Episode 871

Eyes that see fate (7)

A huge hangar appears beyond the elevator door and the shape of a huge spaceship is displayed in the center.

Dozens of engineers and employees are busy removing supports and connections.

[The border of Area 19 is located right in front of this hangar door. We will leave as soon as the engine is finished warming up.]

A middle-aged woman wearing an iron mask covering her lower body looked leisurely at them and said.

[I’ll explain why you need to ride and move something like this later, and let’s finish the necessary tests first. I have a rather impatient personality.]

“… … .”

Balkan City Government 1st Administrative Department Mayor Amy Weinston.

A powerful person who has gained authority second only to the mayor in a large city.

In fact, she came to guide Lapis in person on behalf of the mayor, who rarely appears at official events.

However, Lapis did not react to her appearance, greeting her politely and claiming to be a guide.

Instead, Mayer, with a slightly stiff face, just walked forward instead.

“Representative Wainston.”

[Ah, John Mayer.]

The deputy mayor raised his hand lightly as he looked at the old man standing next to Lennok.

[It’s been a while since I’ve seen your face. I heard you were in a lot of pain, but it looks like you’re feeling better now.]

“… … It’s thanks to the congressman’s concern. “What’s going on here?”

Mayer said, holding his cane and walking out of the elevator first.

“Obviously, the lawmaker responsible for guiding District 19 must have been someone else.”

[I talked to the city council and asked them to change seats.]

The deputy mayor smiled while adjusting the iron mask that represented his subordinate.

A strange smile, with only the eyes gently curved, behind a mask that does not show the corners of the mouth at all.

[And you don’t have to call me congressman. If I were to be specific, I belong to the city government, not the council.]

“… … .”

[Isn’t the reason he was given a seat in the first place because of the cumbersome procedure of having the vice mayor ceremonially belong to the Senate?]

“You are not supposed to be a member of the National Assembly, but you should be the Senate President instead-”

[So that means I don’t like it.]

The deputy mayor said, waving his hand indifferently.

[The mere temporary chairmanship has no meaning as long as the man remains in the Senate. Why would I crawl in there and pretend to be a clown?]

“… … .”

[The place where I need to show my influence is not in such a cramped den of old monsters. This is a place where the technology imported into the Balkans is working properly.]

The deputy mayor smiled happily as he looked at the passageway with the elevator door open and the cracks in the space blurring and distorting around it.

[John Mayer. Don’t you think so?]

“I don’t think it’s wrong. “We can never talk about your contribution to the development of a megacity without mentioning your contributions.”

Mayer answered calmly.

“But guiding District 19 is a completely different story. “If a problem arises, the leadership of both Balkan and Blue eyes will face threats to their lives at the same time.”

Mayer asked, looking at the spaceship vibrating violently in the distance.

“Congressman Weinston might need to consider the repercussions more carefully.”

[…] … There is no need to worry, Representative Mayer.]

The vice mayor’s eyes as he looked at Mayer flashed coldly for a moment.

[As previously agreed upon, if Lapis Palseer has properly inherited the access biometric code, there will be no problem.]

“… … .”

At that moment, both Lennok and Mayor realized why they were here.

She knew that access to Area 19 had not been fully transferred to Lapis.

I don’t know what method was used, but I realized that the agreement between Lapis and the city council had gone awry.

And I came here to intervene in the original plan to see it for myself.

[I told you twice in advance, but we are going to conduct a simple test to confirm that, is that okay?]

After saying that, the deputy mayor slowly stepped aside from the elevator entrance and nodded towards the group.

[Others, please come here too. Since you visited Clifton’s grave, isn’t it possible that you may have had health problems?]

“… … .”

“Evan.”

Lapis, who carefully held Lennok’s sleeve, whispered quickly.

“If I find out the test method in advance, I can fool the inspector.”

“… … .”

“I’ll take the time to talk to the vice mayor, if possible-”

Are you going to come this far and solve the problem on your own without relying on Lennok?

I could understand Lapis’ decision, but considering the vice mayor’s attitude so far-

[Lapis Palsier.]

In front of the scanning equipment placed on one side of the hangar, the vice mayor was gesturing towards Lapis.

[Let’s start with the most important guest. It’ll be okay, right?]

“… … “Can you please wait a moment?”

Lapis looked away with an expressionless face.

Lapis said, looking back at the vice mayor with no sign of agitation.

“It is covered in spells and artifacts that hide its presence, so we need some time to remove it.”

[Wow, I don’t see any such techniques or artifacts at all… … .]

The deputy mayor looked at Lapis up and down, his eyes shining.

“Following the recommendation of the former Central Council, I came to this city with only one attendant.”

However, Lapis looked calm and touched her wrist.

“Do I need to explain in detail what I brought with me to the Balkans?”

[Of course. If possible, I would like to take a look at everything in person, not just your belongings-]

The deputy mayor, who was muttering in an odd voice, smiled and stepped back.

[It’s true that I was a bit hasty. great. I will give you time to prepare.]

Lennok turned his gaze towards Lapis and whispered.

“Lapis. The deputy mayor isn’t sure who owns the biometric code. “If that were the case, he wouldn’t have taken this approach.”

“… … “Then?”

“But it’s clear that I’m suspicious at the time I point you out. “It would be difficult to fool the deputy mayor on his own.”

“… … .”

Looking at Lapis who kept her mouth shut as if in trouble, Lennok slowly grabbed Lapis’ wrist.

“So let’s do it like this.”

Faaah!

The moment Lennok drew up his magic power and applied it to Lapis’ wrist, an elaborate barcode shape appeared under Lapis’ wrist.

Area 19 access biometric code inherited from Clifton’s body.

Lapis looked up with a surprised expression when she saw that the exact same radiance was on her wrist.

“how… … ?”

“It is a duplicate code that reproduces only the appearance through magic projection. “It actually has no effect.”

Lennok said, slowly putting down his hand.

“First take it and get tested. Then after that… … .”

Lennok’s gaze sank deeply as he saw Amy Weinston waiting in the distance with her arms crossed.

“I will take care of it.”

* * *

[Please come this way.]

The deputy mayor kindly guided Lapis to the bottom of the scanning equipment with a smiling face.

Instead of holding it directly under the equipment, I look at the biometric code engraved on Lapis’s wrist.

[Hmm, it seems similar to what I remember… … .]

“… … .”

The Patissia flaps her wings nervously, and Mayer and Geisel watch in silence.

Lapis, with an expressionless face, slowly places the barcode on her wrist under the scanning device.

Beep beep!

As soon as the barcode scanning was completed, an inorganic guidance sound rang out.

=Biometric code verification for area 19 access rights completed.

=Acquire access to hangar gate 3.

=One probe is waiting in front of the gate.

As soon as the green light came on, the device scanning Lapis’ wrist made a refreshing beeping sound.

Anyone can see that it looks like biometric code authentication has been completed normally.

[Are you sure?]

As the deputy mayor looked at him with a suspicious look, the engineer who was watching the data screen responded in surprise.

“Tsu, there were no abnormalities in the measurement data… … .”

[Move.]

puck!!

Amy’s eyes were busy as she pushed the engineer’s shoulder and sat in front of the screen instead.

Looking at that scene, Mayer quietly whispered to Lennok.

“You did it, right?”

“… … .”

Lennok didn’t answer, but Mayer seemed to find the answer in the silence.

There was a faint admiration in the old doctor’s voice that could not be hidden.

“That’s amazing… … . Vice Mayor Weinston is one of the best biomedical engineers in the city. Complex data such as biometric codes is her specialty, so how can it be so easy-”

“It’s not an easy task.”

Lennok shook his head.

“So I mixed it up with some gimmicks.”

“… … “Are you saying it’s a trick?”

Lennok’s method of fooling the deputy mayor was not that complicated.

While Lapis placed the fake biometric code under the scanning equipment, with Dabi’s help, the entire scanning equipment was hacked.

The data value to be calculated through biometric code measurement was predicted and displayed on the screen.

This would have been impossible if not for Lennok’s knowledge of biometric codes acquired while gaining access to Area 25 and Dabi’s hacking ability.

However, the deputy mayor did not ignore the data that Lennok manipulated and completed.

[Biological code arrangement. Gene reproducibility, hadron bottleneck phenomenon. Up to a measurement delay of 0.002 seconds… … All data is perfect with no problems.]

It accurately selects and reads only the necessary information among all the numbers that appear on the screen without distinction.

[But not overly flawless.]

“… … !!”

bang!

The deputy mayor slammed the scanning device and turned to Lapis.

The vice mayor, who snatched Lapis’s wrist, muttered while staring intently at the barcode engraved on her wrist.

[The access rights engraved on Clifton’s body are very old biometric codes, so there must have been parts of them that were lost in that bastard’s rotten body.]

“… … .”

[Taking that into account, there must be a tangle in the biological code, but I don’t see a single flaw. How did this happen?]

At the sharp voice of the deputy mayor, the atmosphere in the hangar suddenly became cold.

Even other engineers and employees who were busy maintaining the spacecraft began to notice her sad mood.

I never thought it would end with just passing the inspection, and they would use the details of the data as an excuse to keep asking.

This may be possible because the deputy mayor is also well aware of biometric codes, but from here on, this is an area that cannot be assumed in advance.

While I was wondering if I should intervene now, Lapis’ expression turned cold.

“Representative Wainston. “I don’t know why you’re asking me that.”

[…] … .]

“If that wasn’t even possible, would there be any reason for me to come to Balkan and visit Area 19?”

[Hoo.]

The deputy mayor let out a strange laugh.

[Are you saying this was possible thanks to the great lighthouse keeper’s supernormal abilities?]

“There was no intention from the beginning to just rely on the Central Council for methods. Even after the target changes from the central council to the city government, that will not change.”

The transparent sky blue eyes shone as if they were trying to see through the deputy mayor’s iron mask.

“How long will I have to tolerate this rudeness?”

[…] … great.]

Perhaps Lapis’ confident words were enough to convince the vice mayor, and she finally stood up in front of the scanning equipment.

[If there are no problems with access rights, you can leave right away. We’ll start as soon as everyone else’s tests are finished. Oh, and as I said earlier-]

The deputy mayor’s eyes were wide and wide as he looked away, as if he had suddenly remembered something.

[Please don’t call me congressman. There are enough old people on the city council that get on my nerves.]

Lapis smiled brightly.

“Understood, Representative Weinston.”

* * *

After Lapis’s examination was over, the other party’s examinations ended in an instant.

The vice mayor also seemed to be uninterested in the other lawmakers, so he ended up just scanning and measuring horsepower.

[Rep. Mayer. Representative Geisel. Looking at the test results, it looks like I’m feeling unwell.]

“… … .”

[I think it would be difficult to take you two to District 19 together.]

Even before the test results come out, the deputy mayor makes up a worried voice in front of the two people.

The deputy mayor spoke to the two people, completely ignoring Geisel, whose eyes were twitching.

[It appears that your visit to Representative Clifton’s hospital room caused a problem, so please go back and get some rest. This is an order from the interim chairman.]

“… … “Let’s do that.”

Mayer smiled wryly at the words of the vice mayor, casually asserting the authority of interim chairman that he had rejected.

“It was not the role of old lawmakers like us to guide District 19 in the first place.”

[It’s good that you understand quickly.]

The deputy mayor nodded cheerfully and gestured, and the soldiers guarding the hangar area began to approach.

Geisel, who was looking at Lapis with a complicated expression, suddenly opened his mouth.

“Me and Representative Mayer were only responsible for listening to Clifton and seeing the transfer of authority.”

“What do you mean?”

Geisel glanced back at the deputy mayor and said.

“Vice-Mayor Wainstone is one of the talented people who has grabbed key Balkan power faster than anyone else in this city. “They probably know more than we do.”

“You’re talking about it needlessly. “If you want to give a warning, do it clearly.”

Lennok frowned at Geisel’s subtle words.

“I told Lapis that I had traveled with Heavenly Gyeon before. Even with his experience working with the Ascendants, isn’t he given a high level of authority by the Council?”

“Knowing a lot is not necessarily a good thing. “You know it too.”

“… … .”

“Everyone who delve deep into the darkness of this city becomes like that.”

Lennok did not know that Geisel’s upward gesture was referring to the Clifton they had just left behind.

“Knowledge alone without proper qualifications will drive most people crazy. This is also the reason why omniscience cannot take precedence over omnipotence.”

“… … you.”

“But what Representative Meyer said is not wrong either.”

Geisel turned his gaze towards Mayer.

“There is definitely value in trying something even when you know you will fail. “I just ran away.”

The moment Lennok hesitated at Geisel’s answer, which felt like a sense of déjà vu, Mayer grumbled.

“Don’t grandiose your old man’s ambitions. “Now I just want to be mayor.”

“Senator. but… … .”

“I’m no different. “It started with a grand cause, but now sometimes I forget why I’m here.”

“… … .”

“But, it’s not too late.”

A faint smile formed on Mayer’s lips as he watched Lapis wearing a safety suit from afar.

“Just once, at the most important moment. “You just have to forget it once.”

“Whoa… … “I still don’t know.”

Leaving behind Geisel, who sighed, Mayer turned his gaze towards Lennok.

“Even if a problem arises as promised, we will just reply that we were deceived because we did not properly see the process of succession of authority.”

Mayer’s eyes turned calm as he looked at Lennok.

“No matter what happens after this, we don’t know each other. Do you understand?”

“You’re saying something strange.”

Lennok shook his head.

“We were strangers from the beginning. “Please stop pretending to be friends now.”

“… … you. You’re a more interesting person than I thought. “I’ll give you my contact information, so if I get a chance later-”

After Mayer, who was trying to hand out his business card, disappeared behind the hangar under the guidance of soldiers approaching, Lennok immediately stood in front of the spacecraft holding a safety suit.

Woooo!!

The sight of the spacecraft emitting fierce flames from the back of the rocket, along with the violent noise of its engines.

It wriggles as if it will jump out the other side of the tightly closed hangar door at any moment.

[Lapis Palsier. Come over here.]

The deputy mayor, dressed in safety clothing like Lapis, put on his iron mask and guided the group.

Kwaaaa!!

As you enter the spaceship, you become one with the vibration and your whole body shakes violently.

The noise echoing in my ears pierces my eardrums and drowns out my other senses.

The space inside the spaceship, which seemed huge, was surprisingly very cramped.

In a small boarding gate with no cockpit or control room, there were only ten seats facing each other.

The vice mayor boarded the front seat first, and Lapis sat across from her, hugging Patisia.

As soon as Lennok sat down next to him, the gate door closed and the spaceship shook violently.

Cheek!

Clap, clap!!

A cushion protrudes from between the seat, armrests, and backrest, wrapping around the entire body, and a solid skeleton is attached on top of it.

The seat changes into a shape that embraces and protects the occupants’ entire body like a steel cocoon.

The deputy mayor, who was calmly leaving his body to the process, said.

[It will shake quite a bit, but it will be enough for just a moment. You’ll get used to it soon.]

“Even after installing this much safety equipment?”

Lennok smiled bitterly at those words.

Why are there only so many seats on this huge spaceship, and why are there so many safety devices on the seats?

Isn’t this because the state of Area 19, where we are heading from now on, is so incredibly dangerous?

“You’re acting like you’re going to go into space right now.”

[It was originally made for that purpose.]

The deputy mayor affirmed.

[A long time ago, when we believed we would be able to travel to space, investment in this field was very active.]

“… … .”

[Do you know why a probe originally created to travel through space is now being used to enter a closed area?]

The deputy mayor’s gaze as he said that was not towards Lapis but towards Lennok. As if Lennok knew the answer.

Lennok asked back as he felt Lapis looking back.

“Are you trying to say that the environment in District 19 is similar to space?”

[No, no. Don’t you know that’s not true?]

However, the deputy mayor shook his head as if he did not like Lennok’s answer.

[Similar but different. You probably know that there is a more plausible expression, right?]

“If you want an expression similar to the universe… … no way.”

The reason why Lenno protects Lapis and heads to District 19. The reason why Lapis wants to meet Cheongyeon in District 19.

A huge crack that existed at the place where Heavenly Gyeon’s conscious body faced Lennok.

At the point when the deputy mayor of the Balkan city government directly induces such an explanation, the answer he wants to hear is decided.

Lennok, who instantly found a faint connection between them, hardened his expression.

“Has the entire District 19 been transformed into a [gate] to the open sea?”

At that moment, the vibration of the spacecraft stopped on the spot like a lie.

The moment when silence fell beneath the boarding gate and Patisia took a deep breath.

Wow!!!

With a tremendous roar, the spaceship’s hull accelerated as if being pushed forward.
