The Regressor’s Notepad 234

Destruction of the World (5)

Jade’s mansion was almost completely destroyed. I came out covered in rubble and dust.

Tiring-

“… … ?”

It’s been a while since I’ve received a message on my smartphone.

[ I will do it for you ].

I closed down the business because I didn’t need to make that much money anymore, but that sentence is so familiar.

[ Are you there, Haedeupnim@@@@?@@@@ ]

You can tell just by looking at the way she speaks.

“… …Why are you suddenly like this?”

Isn’t this a very busy time because of the barrier?

I replied roughly.

[ No longer in business . ]

[ Oops!!! No!!!!! ]

The guy continued his message right away.

[ Then can you help me just this once?! This is extremely important!!! ]

He then sent a rather large photo. A panoramic photo of the Great Wall. At first glance, it looked like an alien figure, but it was actually a blueprint for a barrier.

[Please let me know if this barrier technique is implemented correctly. Please… … . I’ll give you as much money as you want! ]

“ah.”

The barrier is a technique that is made up of numerous reviews. It is that large and complex. The biggest problem is that even if the barrier doesn’t work, it’s hard to know what part is wrong.

It looks like the guys are going to leave that review up to me.

“… … I guess I can do it.”

Since the blueprint itself is already complete, all I have to do is check that the magic power is flowing according to the circuit and that there are no parts that are configured incorrectly.

That’s easy.

I’ve said it over and over again, but my “Notepad” is like a computer. If you have enough magic power, you can do the one-dimensional calculations of already created formulas like a machine.

[ Since this is my last request, I will not charge a fee. ]

After replying like that, I looked at the barrier.

The magic of the barrier on the smartphone screen. A blue current rose at the starting point. It was the flow of magical power calculated with a “notepad”.

I analyzed them and found where the design was flawed and where the horsepower was tangled.

Circuits that needed to be modified were properly corrected, and inefficient routes were efficiently adjusted.

It was a simple check.

Laboratory at Petra Hospital.

“come!”

Raye opened her eyes wide. She smiled brightly at the reply, “I’ll do it for you.” Elise, on the other hand, frowned.

“what?”

“Ellie! Here! Look at this!”

“… … Only 30 minutes have passed.”

Elise was suspicious. She couldn’t help it.

Even for an expert, it would take at least 3-4 hours to review the barrier technique. It’s that large.

“Ellie, come and see for yourself!”

Raye sent a message saying, “I will do it.” Elise scanned the reply with narrowed eyes.

“……uh?”

Suddenly, an exclamation escaped my lips.

She stared intently at the barrier configuration of [I will do it]. Then, she compared it with the original design of the barrier.

“… … .”

The part that bothered me the most.

The part that I was worried might be wrong was definitely pointed out.

Not only that, some inefficient circuits were also neatly fixed. It was much more comfortable and much more efficient.

“This… … will work.”

“That’s right!”

Rayedo smiled broadly and scanned the blueprint from top to bottom.

“Look. I told you I could do it. I told you this guy is a real expert.”

As expected, [I can do it]. An all-rounder who can do anything… … .

That was when.

Suddenly, Raye’s expression hardened.

She saw a certain part of the barrier technique. It was a specific paragraph that [I will do it] had personally edited.

There was a certain concept behind the circuit of the surgery he corrected.

First, double-overlapping circuits are cut out and replaced with a single circuit to pursue efficiency. If there are tangled circuits, they are removed as a whole and easier circuits are grafted.

The result is a very clean result, allowing high output to be squeezed out of low horsepower.

I completed the entire process in 30 minutes.

As if this method was very familiar. As if they had been using magic like this for a long time.

──But.

Raye had seen a similar ‘pattern’ to this one before.

No, it’s a pattern of magic that she has studied and researched countless times.

An extremely efficient configuration.

Chimerical compatibility that allows you to freely combine any type of magic.

When a wizard uses magic, he or she leaves a mark of his or her own. Even if he or she tries to hide it, it cannot be hidden. This is because each individual’s habits themselves are absorbed into magic.

Raye studied his habits. She spent countless hours studying, analyzing, and dissecting his magical arts.

It was all about tracking down some villain.

“……no way.”

Mila’s arch enemy.

A villain who arrives in Trick City like a dark cloud.

His name──Rakel Dra.

“Laye!”

Elise called her. Raye raised her head blankly. Elise smiled brightly as if she had found an answer, and Raye also seemed to have found an answer.

“Follow me!”

“……huh.”

Raye followed her with a slightly creaky heart.

… …

Patients flocked to Petra Hospital. Gen Petra only accepted patients, and the rest of the families were sent away. Because there were not enough beds, temporary tents were set up in the park. However, the most important barrier was yet to be established.

“… … Are you okay?”

It was the secretary’s words. Gen Petra in the office looked at him.

“Miss Elise is currently creating a barrier… … .”

A barrier that slows down the progress of murder. That information has already been leaked.

If the barrier were not completed in this situation, or if the wrong barrier were created, Gen Petra would suffer a great political blow.

“If it doesn’t happen, then it’s a vessel of that level.”

Gen decided to trust Elise.

A lion’s son is still a lion. There is no reason to overprotect a cub who is ready to be driven off a cliff.

“You go find the guy who leaked the information. This is your chance to catch all the guys who are selling the information.”

“Yes, I understand.”

The secretary bowed and stepped back.

… … .

Elise is creating a barrier in Petra Park based on the blueprint. First, she finely grinds the magic stone powder to draw a ‘circle’, and then she uses her magic power [magnetism] to firmly secure it.

Its size is that of the entire park, where the Petra emergency room and temporary tents were built.

“Laye! Don’t just sit there, move around!”

“Uh, uh, yeah.”

But Raye is slow.

He acts strangely, as if he is suddenly lost in thought or has lost his mind.

“The curve is crooked!”

“Ah. Okay. Just a moment.”

At that time, Raye was only interfering with my work.

“Is there anything I can help you with?”

Someone approached. Elise looked over and flinched.

It was Teia Isil, a professor at a national university.

She came to her senses somewhat.

The flesh still remains in the body, but I don’t feel any pain anyway.

“Oh, it’s the professor. Are you feeling okay?”

Rayedo also discovered her late. Teia shrugged and answered.

“I’m trying to help you get better.”

“… … Here.”

Elise gave her some of the blueprints.

“Please just draw a circle to contain the boundary.”

“Okay.”

Teia nodded after receiving the blueprint.

“……however.”

Then he turned to Elise and asked.

“Who brought me here?”

“I’m a taxi driver.”

“… …Taxi driver?”

“yes.”

He was a real taxi driver.

A middle-aged man who personally brought Teia to the hospital and hospitalized her.

“No, I don’t have time for small talk right now.”

Elise quickly waved her hand. Teia raised her eyebrows and moved to the other side with the magic stone powder.

First, they drew a large ‘circle’ to set up the space that would contain the boundary.

The hospitalized patients watched with half-worry and half-concern, and when the circle was completed, Elise stood at the starting point of the barrier technique.

“I’ll try.”

“Cheer up, Ellie!”

Raye raised her fist, and Teia looked at Elise with her arms crossed.

Elise first launched the ‘Magic Core’, which had been hastily procured at the cost of millions of renminbi, into the air.

“……after.”

Take a deep breath.

I recall the blueprint stored in my head and place my hand on the core. I intend to use this as a medium to begin construction on the barrier… … .

“This is a big deal. I might be a little short on magic power.”

I knew it intuitively.

This magic core and my own magic power are not enough.

The magic core amplifies magical power, but a barrier this large would require more magical power than you can imagine.

Then Teia snapped her fingers.

Exactly-!

At that gesture, Teia’s own magical power shot out like lightning and permeated the core. The core shook violently, glowing with a strange light.

“I injected magical power into the core. It should be enough now.”

In an instant, a sufficient amount was charged. Elise was greatly surprised.

Even though it may not seem like much, it’s actually a tremendous technique.

In addition to condensing magical power and shooting it out like a flash, it is an extremely advanced technique that allows the magical power to not be lost in the atmosphere but to permeate only into the magical core.

“… …Are you okay?”

But Teia is a flesh patient. If someone with flesh uses magic, the pain from the recoil will be thousands of times greater.

“It might not be okay. However, that barrier is more important.”

Teia looked at Elise. Elise nodded and placed her hand on the core again.

“Hoooo… … .”

───.

Magic power spread from the core. The circuits of the barrier Elise had envisioned stretched out into the air.

They wavered imperfectly for a moment, but Elise activated her “magnetism.” She held the loose parts firmly with her magnetism and continued the story.

Tsutsutsutsu─

The barrier that started from a circle slowly spreads out and rises into the shape of a sphere.

Teia and Laye watched the scene.

No, everyone in the Petra Hospital area was watching.

Elise did not give up, even though she was sweating profusely and breathing heavily.

Gooooooo… … .

Tremors on the road surface. The swaying of air trapped within a circle. The phenomenon of the barrier technique and the veins reacting and resonating.

The magical energy streams that continued along the barrier’s design soon reached a large dot on the ceiling and condensed.

Kugu-kung──!

Soon, it came down like a dome that covered the entire Petra Hospital.

The wave barrier was completed.

“… … Huh.”

Elise knelt down on one knee. She didn’t even have time to smile. Her magical power was almost exhausted. Raye supported her.

“Elise.”

Suddenly, it was Teia’s words. She nodded, looking alternately up and down the blue barrier that had formed.

“Perfect.”

─ He fell down with a thud, leaving behind these words.

“Oh no! Professor Teia! Aaah! Ellie!”

Raye picked up the two people who looked like they were about to die, not knowing what to do.

* * *

A space buried in darkness. In a vast underground space that no one knows about, there exists an old house. A place where nothing can be seen, just an empty space.

However, ‘he’ is walking towards that place that is like a black hole.

Step, step.

The sound of footsteps echoing hollowly.

Long legs that swing elegantly.

He walked in the darkness. There was not a speck of fear or terror in him.

He kept his eyes fixed solely on the table in front of him, at the end of which stood a tea table.

One desk.

Two chairs.

He sat down on the chair.

I leaned back and thought for a moment.

“… …the destruction of the world.”

He muttered like that and twisted the corners of his mouth. He furrowed his brow and made a mockery.

He met many people throughout his life. Some of them had the illusion that they were stronger than him, but in reality, there was no one like that.

He had already realized the ‘infinity’ contained in his own body long ago. He recognized its irreversible power.

However, it was not put forward.

It wasn’t revealed.

Didn’t reveal.

Words and actions that merely boast of one’s own violence and destructiveness are not noble. They are extremely low-class acts.

That’s why it’s funny that he’s a psychopath who calls himself destruction.

He is just ridiculous, a man who takes pride in things he shouldn’t, and has a mere crumb of an ego.

“… … It’s getting dark.”

He leaned against the darkness, using it as a blanket.

There was still plenty of time left, but there was no need to look at the clock.

He just waits.

To strike down the ignorant earthworms who do not know the end of this world.

To teach the clear logic of violence to the overconfident and mere rascals.

Jade closed her eyes as a noble.

… … A week passed like that.
