Legions Grow On My Phone

36 Tue-Secrets of the World (2)

in the middle of a dark nest.

When someone starts a determined action, and someone watches the nesting of the occupied area.

Something was going on in this deepest part of the brain, the origin of the Legion.

A beating sound was heard periodically.

The source of that heartbeat is a special nest on one side.

A life was sleeping in that special nest.

Up to now, all legionnaires have been produced using egg form.

So far, there has been only one being born in a special nest resembling a womb.

[After all, I wasn’t born. But yes, this time it’s different. From start to finish, we made it with our abilities and made it born]

The six walls were cracked, and mucus, which also served as amniotic fluid, poured out.

Then something suddenly popped out of the crevice.

Soft, white hands.

The hand grabbed the six walls and spread them apart, revealing their body completely.

[…the current legion had only one human gene. So everything that can be made is the same as her]

She, no, ‘it’ fell to the floor naked, dripping with slime.

He had a creepy expressionless expression, but his face and all body characteristics were the same as the only human he knew, Kang Do-yeon.

Kang Do-yeon is unaware of this fact.

Because the legion controlled the information.

[Why? At the most, you spend a lot of energy to create it and then dispose of it. Don’t you like it?]

However, it soon copied the robbery, and pointed the sword at its own neck.

[Are you wondering what this means? The same appearance as his younger brother can’t represent the perfect you? You’ve already grown that much]

My fingertips trembled.

It was proof that he was actually thinking about it.

[But isn’t it funny? In the first place, your identity is being created now. You have to think efficiently. I wonder if this body can be used somewhere]

“Ahh.”

It opened its mouth and nurtured it.

The Legion had not yet mastered the human language.

What he’s saying now is that he memorizes the muscles and nerves that move when he speaks, and then recreates it by moving the vocal organs in the same way.

“Noisy.”

[…okay. That’s right]

The corps copied the same words that Kang Do-yeon uttered while getting annoyed at the screaming enemies.

I don’t know and write

But at least I knew what it meant.

Its body twisted, its skeleton twisted and its appearance began to change.

As a result, it looks similar to Kang Do-yeon, currently working as a part of the corps.

However, after a moment’s hesitation, the Legion added one additional device.

[Even if you die soon, you don’t want the same face as her?]

His face was covered with a carapace like a mask.

A red light flashed from the eye part of the mask.

[Go to her and learn. That way you can get closer to him.]

It started moving.

It was like a test subject in which the Legion’s desires were thoroughly concentrated.

[This…will be recorded in history. It is the moment when the corps’ ego has grown to a higher level]

Somewhere, I heard the sound of paper being rolled over.

“Well?”

On the 36th floor, inside the temple where the magic was cast.

Kang Do-yeon, who had been searching the place, felt an unfamiliar presence and flinched.

It can be known because it is connected to the Hive consciousness of the corps.

“…what?”

Still, she instinctively showed hostility to the appearance of an opponent she did not know who was part of the corps.

Moreover, even if the person is wearing a mask, their body type, hairstyle, and even their usual posture are similar.

“…”

However, without a single word or movement, only the light of his eyes shined through the gap in the mask.

For a moment, Kang Do-yeon felt goosebumps. I don’t have pores to get goosebumps, but I felt that way anyway.

“You are… the Legion.”

Although she was controlled by the information, she struck down the identity of it with her intuition and intuition.

Intuition and guesswork. They were all things that the Legion, a race of rationality and calculation, did not have, even if they had it, they could not easily use it.

[Can’t you feel it? The Legion wants to learn from you]

“Learning. What? You already know everything.”

[Things that cannot be determined by genetic analysis. Some of the information the Legion was controlling is sending you back. Your mission is temporarily suspended]

Kang Do-yeon immediately frowned and bit her lip.

The flow of information did not contain mere information.

“Okay.”

She was also part of the corps after all.

Kang Do-yeon, who understood the meaning, sighed.

“Shall we start with the horse? We know what learning is.”

“okay.”

The first answer came when we met.

The voice she heard with her own ears, she flinched and faltered.

Of course, the word “yes” was also inferred and spit out based on memory.

“Are you curious about how I’m feeling right now? That’s embarrassing.”

She eventually started classes.

It’s pouring out everything you know on a white canvas you don’t know anything about.

Words, emotions, and common sense are everything.

“I understand.”

But the drawing paper is now one giant hive mind with nonsensical hardware.

The knowledge and experience that Kang Kang-yeon’s 17-year-old human girl had accumulated, succeeded in making it her own within a few hours.

There were subtle changes in the process of interpreting what I learned, but it wasn’t a big deal.

“…really?”

“It’s easy. Compared to calculating and analyzing the genes of various living things with just a handful of clues about the concept and the world you are new to.”

It, the Legion turned its back.

“Do-yeon Kang. The first corps commander. The rest of the learning, later. Go to the 37th floor. Another enemy.”

Then he pointed his finger at the passage leading to the 37th floor.

At the same time, the scene the corps was seeing was being transmitted to Kang Do-yeon’s brain.

“Go, I’ll go!”

Her face turned white, and she left in a hurry.

But it just stands there.

[Now do you understand? What you feel, what you see and hear, what you think and how it is expressed]

“…”

[But I know. we are not human I learned humans from humans. The moment we make that learning our own, it is not human. In the end, it’s just a reference.]

Obviously, Kang Do-yeon taught the corps everything he knew as much as he knew.

But in the first place, it was neither perfect nor full of its own gender.

[What do you think of him?]

“…that. Shin-woo Kang.”

Muttered blankly.

I blindly accumulated knowledge and memorized it perfectly, but actually matching what I know was not solved simply because the hardware was good.

Now, the corps’ ego is still like a baby.

No emotion learned from Kang Do-yeon could explain this.

“What is it? What’s going on?”

[A scout found something on the 37th floor, presumed to have had some sort of incident.]

“Hey. Well, it seems like there’s still time.”

I checked my cell phone for a notification.

In fact, the situation seemed urgent.

The legionaries led by Kang Do-yeon woke up from dormancy to save energy and were moving in unison.

“What is it?”

[Movement found on the 37th floor. I’ll show you the video.]

This time, the perspective shifted to the scout.

He was obviously searching the ruins.

But at that moment, something appeared.

“People?! Ah, no. Anyway! Alive! Are you sure you’re dead?”

Excited, my words were twisted.

But it was definitely exciting.

[right. Its appearance and outward appearance are similar to the ghosts we saw on the last stairway. Of course, it’s not an old corpse. There was no magic pattern drawn on the body.]

“What are you doing?”

I frowned and looked more closely.

At first it looked like a woman.

Seeing all the decayed bulks all over her body, it was difficult to gauge how long it had passed.

It certainly looked like it was dead, but he was sitting with his head down and motionless as if he were dead.

[A scout approaches, but does not move. But it’s definitely alive. The organ mounted by the scout detects weak breathing]

The scout flew away and sat down with a chin on his face.

But it was quiet even as a bug bigger than a thumb crawled over its face.

“Are you going to sleep?”

[no]

But at that moment.

The scout was captured with lightning speed.

His vision wandered, and he disappeared between the red mucous membranes and white teeth.

Then a crackling sound is heard.

“Now… have you been eaten?”

[The biggest problem is not that. Next video]

Aside from saying that getting eaten by scouts isn’t the problem.

I took a breath as I watched the video that followed.

This video was recorded by another scout.

Just observing the moment the first scout was eaten by that monster.

“…that crazy.”

I couldn’t say a word.

The monster who ate the scouts at once got up.

Her twisted body, her gleaming eyes, her slurping saliva and her growling breath were telling her that she wasn’t normal.

I had a foreboding that maybe that was the reason they perished and sealed themselves.
