Chapter 92 (1/2)

However, there was something that I needed to check first before putting it into practice. “What’s the principle behind capturing what I’m looking at right now? If the video output is here, where’s the input? Is it filming far away with something like a camera?” – …

The [Door of Hope] didn’t answer immediately.

I continued asking.

“Can an Awakened being in the place of observation notice the fact that they are being watched through the [Door of Hope]? For example, if he has a special skill.” – … Artificial intelligence remained silent for a while before replying.

– This information is not registered in this item’s operating system.

Next, there was telepathy that was close to it talking to itself.

– Searching through a collective intelligence network.

– Connection is unstable.

– … Network connection time exceeded!

– No response to search attempts. – Insufficient information to answer the user’s questions.

I sighed lightly.

“It doesn’t know, after all.” The collective intelligence, whatever that was, according to Adam, was a concept that existed when the Sebrarian Empire still existed. Simply put, it must be like the Internet.

It would be futile to access and extract information from the empire’s ruined intelligence system.

“It doesn’t know the detailed operating principle from the operating system itself, but does it mean if the user requests to perform it, it carries on the command?”

I pondered for a moment and reached a quick decision. “I don’t think Adam noticed when I looked at him just a while ago.” I talked to the system instead of artificial intelligence that manipulated the item this time. I thought about the information about the aliens on Earth in my head. “Update location information.” The answer came right back.

– The current location information of the target requested by the user is as follows.

Most of the aliens held the same position as what I had seen recently, but it was observed that there were a few aliens that moved far away like Adam.

‘Shall I take a look at each of them?’

I gave the [Door of Hope] an order. “Show me this place.” I wanted to observe the current status of the aliens on the list. I wanted to do it beyond simple location information, but rather in real-time as if I were to look upon them on a satellite. The operating system responded. – Do you want to transport it to that location? At the same time, the scene in front of me changed. I was internally amazed. ‘Wow, that actually worked!’

It was clear what the aliens, who infiltrated the Earth under camouflage, were currently doing.

Just to be careful, I had prepared to stop observing right away.

‘There’s no sign of noticing the observation.’

It was a performance beyond my expectations. I realized it once again. SSS-Class items were overpowered. ‘Technically, it’s an extra feature needed for one to move around, right? I didn’t know that even the additional function that gives a view of the destination would be this faithful to the class.’ Since then, I have observed the aliens one by one. The first ones that caught my eyes were those Adam had already confirmed didn’t belong to the Union. ‘Hmm.’ But unfortunately… ‘Nothing unusual.’

It didn’t matter if it’s a being that hid outside without human contact or a being that mixed itself with humans and lived as an impostor.

There was nothing extraordinary about their behavior. If they were to boldly go around doing strange things like Adam, it would be even easier to recognize the opponent’s goals and abilities, but there was no such scene, at least at that moment. ‘But I can’t just watch them 24/7.’ Furthermore, it was only possible when I went to a different dimension and returned to Earth. In the case of the Botarch dimension, 16,000 cores were used for a round trip. ‘I’ll have to find a way to make regular observations while reducing the cores consumed.’ There must be a nearby dimension where the door could be with fewer cores. I was going to experiment with every coordinate in my head one by one. I would need to find the most suitable world in a way that I wouldn’t cross over but rather only check the core consumption. While I was observing each one of them, thinking like that, something happened.

“Huh?”

The moment I moved on to the next alien, I found an anomaly. In the coordinate that the [Door of Hope] had just projected, no aliens were visible. ‘It hasn’t been that long since the system gave me the coordinates…’ I thought about that alien in my head and asked the system once again. “Update location information!” – The current location information of the target requested by the user is as follows. I was surprised to see the coordinates.

“Wait, did it cross the border in that short time?”

While I was observing an alien, another suddenly began to move. But its speed was very fast.

“Won’t you look at that?”

I drew a line connecting the initial and current coordinates. Its direction was revealed.

I spoke again.

“Update location information!” Coordinates were updated while maintaining a constant direction. I thought it was still moving. And…

If I continued to draw the route as a line, the fact that Beijing would be in its path must not be a coincidence.

‘It’s approaching Beijing!’ The opponent was one of the Union’s eyes, that was, the being that Adam confirmed as an ‘observer.’ Adam told me to leave him alone since he wasn’t doing exceptionally harmful things toward the Earth. ‘They started moving first?’ Ever since I first identified the coordinates, it had been stuck in Russia and hadn’t moved since, so the sudden change made me feel uneasy. ‘I will resume the observation later. I should go back to Earth for now.’ I spoke to the [Door of Hope].

“Send me back to the same place where I took a dimensional leap from Earth!”

– Sending user.

The light waved, and I felt a strong rotational force swirling around.

With the feeling of my body floating, it sucked my body into Earth.

* “Oh! Are you back?” Adam greeted me with pleasure.

There were huge earthworms with their guts and body parts butchered out and body fragments of Botarchs lying around on the ground.
