The Core of Evil
Detained
"News coverage was reported from Rodrigo Space, a 5-star spacecraft that had just attacked 3 Maledicts at once, and a normal-human"
{Rebooting..}.

...
{Turning on desktop..}
Fuhooh!!
Not broken apparently...
"It seems like learning the machine in the workshop for 16 hours a day is useful too huh?"
"Come teacher. Should you discuss that?"
"If you reduce the time in the workshop by at least 8 hours, I might consider"
"That's too long! After all, being in Percival's workshop was also more beneficial for training my abilities"
You always say that I have to hone the skills that I master the most first...
Well, but fixing a laptop that just falls down a little bit is not too much of a problem. Although there are cracks...
Fortunately, the monitor screen did not break. This thing is the main component of his laptop, and if it breaks, it will only show a black screen...
And the fact that he can still do a reboot means that there is no too fatal damage to the inside
I'll check that out later, but Jun better move all the data on this laptop first
"At least I have to retrieve the data here and I'll move it to a new laptop..."
"Good then. I might be able to help you choose a new laptop with a more advanced model"
This model has been around for too long. The advanced model you can use with voice commands. He will even interact with you if you want
...
I realized Jun's gaze was pointing at me. The gaze filled was filled with question marks and worries, which was clearly the reason
I slowly turned my head, so that he would not be surprised by my movements. But most importantly, so that we can start the one-on-one conversation in person
"... I'm fine, Jun. They didn't even try to hurt me one bit"
"... I know that, my son. What confuses me is..."
...
The reason why Hector showed up hm...?
It seems like he still doesn't feel good talking about his friend who should have disappeared. Moreover, when there was an opportunity, he could not even meet Hector anymore
I've already sent the location of the virus on Noah's shirt to the search team, but I still haven't heard from them
Moreover, they turned out to teleport very far from Terra as well as Furion. They went straight to the very tip of the galaxy in the universe, the Azathor Galaxy
Most of the planets have no life at all. The place was also very cold and unfriendly. But, for a Maledict, that place was the best place to cover the tracks
Only they and the Alien Tragar can live there without the interference of the environment of the planets
"They should be arrested. A Maledict shouldn't just get out of control..."
Along with the end of my sentence, someone approached us to make our eyes both fixed on him
Someone who wears the typical Arcadia uniform I hate for being too tight
"Primus Yustine reports to Venia Jun"
"Welcome. I hope your work at Terra is not at all bothered by your work here"
Ah...
So he's the one who's gonna take us on a private spaceship. It was also accessible only to a Primus and a Venia
But Amitha would absolutely not allow me to touch their private spaceship. Well...
The last time I did it too, I almost got a Primus killed in space...
"His goal remains the planet Furion?" I asked Primus
"Yes. Venia Ariel sent me personally here to escort you to that place. I've also brought a Venia Jun spacecraft"
Good job
Primus is always reliable
One private spacecraft can only be filled with two people. Even the distance to travel can only reach Terra and Furion in neighboring galaxies
The fuel of the vehicle is also very expensive. You can only get it from a planet called Lomax that is far enough away on the right end of the universe. The fuel export fee alone is arguably crazy for us
It costs 3 times my monthly salary of 5 million Terring. That's 15 million
Even if converted into their currency, those 15 million Terring could only be equivalent to 30 the value of their currency...
I want to try to touch just 1 the value of their currency... Just one and I'll probably be happy...
"I almost forgot one more detail"
Hm?
Ah, I know what he's thinking...
"The leader of the planet Furion requested the approval of Venia Jun to put O-2507 inside a private isolation chamber"
I've guessed
I wasn't surprised by Primus' words, but Jun was just the opposite
"Wait-wait! What does that mean??" Jun protest
"We just got a report, Venia Jun. For them, taking off a Maledict there is quite dangerous, especially when he has just made contact with another Maledict"
I didn't even know there was some kind of information that Maledict meeting his kind would be dangerous automatically...
...
All these people know I'm dangerous. Everything was...
And they always look at me with that kind of face. A face full of annoyance and disgust when it comes to knowing my true identity
He might only be a Primus, but the person working directly under Venia would also definitely have access to that information
Heh. I really don't like people's gazes at me like Primus just did...
"It's okay Jun. I'm going through an extra sentence of that isolation period"
After all, I was also sent to Furion as punishment for violating the mission. And this is also not the first time this has happened, even though Jun did not get that information...
Jun tried to calm down, but could not. He wanted to ask 'then what if I refused', but knew exactly what the reward would be for myself and himself
"That's it. I'm really fine. The important thing is that you don't get in trouble so I can get out easily later, right?"
Jun realized I was trying to joke with him, and played to the rhythm I provided
He laughed a little before stroking my head
His face turned into a frown, before he said goodbye to me and went to follow Primus to discuss something
And I was left there, among a crowd that looked very panicked, begging to be immediately escorted to the safest place after hearing the news of the Maledict attack in this place
...
...
Maledicts...
Hectors...
Noahs...
Everything is so confusing right now, like an absurd nightmare
I get a {undangan} from them. Something I never thought of from an enemy
They want me to join their little group, just because I'm a Maledict
But the 2 girls who were with them...
One was an ordinary human, and the other was an Alien I could not identify with. But he told me he was a Maledict, though I'm not sure which Maledict is
Aliens, humans, and some malefic leaders
That's a strange collection of 3 kinds of creatures that shouldn't like each other
But they were clustered as if it was nothing...
Then...
...
I even wondered why Arcadia didn't want to listen to my report, but they knew full well that I was the only one among the three of us who got enough information from Hector...
...
I'd better hide this first. Be it from the Venia, Jun or whoever it is that has a close relationship with me
I'll keep well those {undangan}. And when I've seen what's hidden in area 25...
...
I was afraid my decision would change
But I need to know. I need to know what the Venians and Primus are hiding there
Not out of sheer curiosity, but I also wanted to prove whether my decision would change as Hector said...
Decision that I'll stay in Arcadia or not...
...
Huh...
And it looks like I'm going to be detained for a while...
Let's take a look at the contents of my stuff module, because this alone won't be taken...
Wheat flour. Oils. Water water. Stovetop. Meat. Salt
What else yes, I need later....
