Life Mission
Chapter 259 Table of contents

“This and this.”

Cha Jun Sung is purchasing items he needs for missions in the level S store.

It has been so long he can’t even remember the last time he went shopping like this.

His points went over 100 billion after he completed the Black Devil mission. They were left alone because he had nowhere to use them after that.

“I’ll have to pack carefully.”

His opponent is a Lifer who killed level 9 Evil Queen.

His presumed ability is beyond level S at the least. Cha Jun Sung decided to fight while wearing a battlesuit. This is easier for him to utilize items than being in his awakened state.

He intends to use his mutant strength too if he needs to.

“Dream box. It really is a box of dreams.”

It isn’t the same concept as the lucky box with random items.

The dream box doesn’t give something material but something assumed.

If they complete a level S mission, supervisors grant a wish with their authority. It can be anything as long as it is within the limits of what their technology allows for.

They can meet someone who has died as well. They can’t save that person, but they can be sent back in time to when that person was still alive.

He asked if they could be sent back to the time before Life Mission began, and they said that wasn’t the case. It isn’t simply time reversal. They change dimensions. They are living a new life in a new world.

There are a lot of things other than that, and it was to the point where nothing from the human imagination was impossible. That is how extensive their science is.

“What a pity. I would grant a lot of wishes.”

It is just a wish. There’s no point because he can’t get his restriction released.

[Are you ready?]

“Yes.”

[Odin will support you once you enter the mission. We’ll figure out the support within 30 minutes. Give it your all.] action

Cha Jun Sung shrugged his shoulders.

There was a different kind of tension from when he was catching mutants.

It’s this feeling.

He had been waiting for this kind of excitement.

Woong!

The gate opens.

Cha Jun Sung entered a mission with excitement for the first time in 5 years. A mission wasn’t configured, but his goal is clear.

[This is where his traces were detected last.]

“When was that?”

[... Half a year ago.]

“What? Half a year?”

Cha Jun Sung is astounded.

If the last traces of him were half a year ago, it means he’s no longer here.

The current location is Argentina, the southernmost part of South America.

“How are we supposed to find him? He’ll know a lot about this gear if he’s a Lifer.”

Even though he is unregistered, he has to be a Lifer if he is wearing a battlesuit.

If a Lifer hides, it is like finding a needle in a haystack.

[Even the traces he left behind half a year ago have completely disappeared. He isn’t even getting detected in the wide area satellite.]

“That means a Universe Eye can’t find him. This is such a headache.”

Cha Jun Sung isn’t in the middle of a mission.

He has come in to fix a bug, so he can temporarily use satellites that are better than Universe Eyes. Jigneon, the top supervisor, had permitted this.

He can also go back and forth between reality and the mission freely. There are no restrictions on his movement.

He is more like an operator looking for the bug than a Lifer.

It is limited to this mission, but he is beyond the laws of Life Mission. He has Jigneon on his back and can exert all sorts of abilities.

If he can’t use the satellite, he’ll have to use his body.

South America is huge.

If they miss each other during his search, he’ll have to go back and search a place he had already done again.

There’s such a small chance, but he thinks it’ll be fun.

[In this kind of case, there’s only one thing he could have tried.]

“I think I can figure out what it is too.”

Cha Jun Sung thought about it from his own standards.

How could someone disappear completely from a satellite?

The answer isn’t difficult.

Clunk!

His battlesuit armor opened up and Cha Jun Sung stepped out in tights. He looks up at his 2.5 meter tall battlesuit.

Machines connect to each other.

The battlesuit emits a unique energy wave. If they can track this energy, they can find traces of him.

But if he goes around without wearing it?

There won’t be a link, so they won’t be able to find him. There’s no doubt this Lifer took off his battlesuit when the supervisors began tracking him more fiercely. He is walking around bare bodied.

“Even if she was at only 50 to 60% of her strength, a level S battlesuit is absolutely necessary to kill Evil Queen. And he’ll have gone through the 10th stage of body modifications if he’s able to handle that load.”

Someone at the 10th stage of body modifications should be able to take on level 5 mutants without a battlesuit. He would be able to protect his body.

Vroom!

While Cha Jun Sung was considering all of these different things in the place where he had been summoned, the space near him opened up and thousands of cyborgs came out.

90% of them were top level and 10% were support.

It is too hard for Cha Jun Sung to search this vast land for an outstanding opponent by himself.

For that reason, the supervisors sent them as a force to support Cha Jun Sung.

They will avoid engagement with mutants as much as possible, and focus On searching. Since they are machines that do not have life in them, they won’t attract the attention of mutants with low intellect as long as they don’t show prominent behavior.

“Since we’re in Argentina anyway, let’s do a sweep from the bottom up.”

Boom boom boom!

Thousands of cyborgs activated each of their search functions and scattered. They will search not only buildings, but each room in the buildings.

***

Cha Jun Sung entered alone.

Thousands of cyborgs are supporting him, but it is too little when considering the size of South America.

Outside the mission in another dimension, Jigneon watched this situation in real time via satellite and decided to use Lifers.

He decreased the available missions in the other five continents and created more in South America to add in more Lifers.

He had temporarily changed the frame of missions like they had done with Africa.

He had gotten consent from Borteth and Gabenu as well.

Lifers became Jigneon’s eyes and ears without knowing it. They were just looking for their designated mutants in order to complete their missions, but it was also a process that would help look for the unidentified Lifer.

There is a difference in each continent, but there are about 150,000 to 200,000 Lifers staying in missions. There were multiple times that in South America.

A lot of Lifers are going in and out, but there were always more than 500,000. All of those Lifers searched through South America.

After 10 years, there were almost no level D and E Lifers.

By proportion, level B is highest, then level C, A, and S.

Because of that, most preferred levels B and C missions. The standard was in units of forces to raids, so the active radius was inevitably wide.

A full raid could turn most big cities inside out.

More than 500,000 Lifers swept through South America for months.

Lifers weren’t able to find what Jigneon had been waiting for.

But would the reverse be the same?

Cha Jun Sung who went around in hiding felt something strange.

“I’ve been seeing a lot of Lifers these past few months.”

[It looks like they have adjusted mission distribution. They seem to be looking for Lifer Cha Jun Sung. If they keep coming in concentrated like this, we won’t be able to hide for much longer.]

Cha Jun Sung watches Lifers hunting level 6s from the window of a waste building.

He suffered quite a bit for a couple days because of them.

He had been resting in this place for about half a month, but those Lifers came in and started digging around to find mutants. It had been hard hiding from them.

5 years had passed since he had come to South America following Evil Queen’s trail, but he hadn’t been able to achieve what he’d wanted. There had been no point in coming here.

He has no more gear left and he can’t supplement it.

He can’t contact Lifers much less use the store. He needs to live entirely independently.

Then half a year ago, he ran into 500 special cyborgs. He had taken care of them within 1 hour, but it had been dangerous.

If it had taken just a little longer, he would have encountered one of the supervisors.

He has no supplies and his left arm was cut off. If he had been in a normal state, he would have been able to run away even if he may not be able to win after running into a supervisor, but it would all be over if he ran into them now.

Since then, he went around without wearing his battlesuit. He may be unregistered having come back to the past, but it is better to be meticulous.

[Are you planning on staying in South America? There is a big error with a lack of equipment, but there isn’t anywhere you haven’t been over the last 5 years.]

“There is. One place.”

[Amazon... all the gear you have now is your battlesuit. If you run into a level 8 and it gets destroyed, you can’t function.]

Odin knows how harsh the mutant distribution is in the Amazon.

It is of the top five difficulties in both quality and quantity in the whole world.

That’s why he doesn’t recommend going there. Cha Jun Sung’s abilities are outstanding, but it is dangerous without replenishment. It might be okay on the outskirts, but there are a lot of level 7s in the center.

In addition...

[It’s Bon Load’s territory.]

Odin is a helper.

The approximate locations of where Disasters, Nightmares, and other level 8s live are saved in his artificial intelligence.

The details are the unique authority of supervisors.

Bon Load and his three sons live in the Amazon. Cha Jun Sung is a dead man if he meets Bon Load in this state.

“I’ve put my life on the line.”

[You killed Evil Queen. Lifer Cha Jun Sung, you’ve done more than enough.]

“I don’t know. Why was she so weak?”

She technically wasn’t weak, but she somehow felt fake. Compared to the Evil Queen he fought in the future, she hadn’t had half of the strength she had then.

Before Vanessa died, she said that Evil Queen had gone to meet Bon Load. She could have been weakened from giving birth and that would need to be communicated, but she hadn’t been able to do that either. It had been like fighting with an idiot.

“I have to make sure.”

Odin gave up.

He pitied Cha Jun Sung. A man who lives with guilt, who lives because he can’t die. He could just forget everything, but he hadn’t been able to do so.
