Chapter 47 About Exchange
The surveillance screens that used to monitor the entire facility were now magnified and displayed only in the control room.
The actions of the chibi-style figures inside can be clearly seen by people in the monitoring room.
The snow-white little figure stood there calmly and motionless, as if waiting for something.
The other little figures stood a little further away from him, ready to see what superpowers they were supposedly able to regain.
The people in the monitoring room were also waiting...
The surveillance camera thoughtfully added subtitles for the little figures.
The enlarged screen made their facial expressions clearly visible.
The blond figure, clad in "Wings of Glory" and surrounded by floating gold and red feathers, smiled.
Wow~ Is this a new trend?
“Mr. Honglu…” The short-haired woman waved her hand very lightly, signaling “herself” to stop talking.
The unknown gentleman's face turned ugly!
There's clearly a problem somewhere!
Then he did something he deeply regretted.
He sought approval from Liangxiu, who was disguised as Honglu, entirely subconsciously, and by the time he realized it, it was too late.
"Clumsy skill."
What are you doing, Ms. Ryoshu?!
Poor art...?
At this moment, Sinclair realized that Ryoshu's gaze was fixed on a snow-white outfit, and he was actually referring to the clothes.
Seeing that she hadn't responded yet, Honglu turned her head slightly to look at the short-haired woman: "Translate."
"Ah! I know that, it's bad art, isn't it?"
Dante is enjoying a short play performed by X's employees.
A gray-haired man suddenly appeared beside him.
The guide stared blankly at the trio who were telling a comedy routine.
Sometimes, it's not that he's demanding, it's just that he's really... too noisy.
Moreover, this scene... is too chaotic, even his head is starting to hurt, no wonder X is in such a hurry.
As time went on, Tatsuhiko Shibusawa's expression grew increasingly grim.
There was no response from "Longyan Zhijian," as if it had never existed.
He didn't seem embarrassed at all.
only……
Inside the monitoring room, a few other people were also watching the crosstalk performance...
The black-haired youth, who had been waiting, stared at the screen; things seemed to be taking a strange turn.
The supervisor fell silent, deep in thought, and decided that he should receive 40 points of madness.
"They seem to be having a lot of fun."
Daniel took a sip of coffee, and while he was giving out gifts to his employees, he also got himself a cup.
He never expected that working overtime would lead to a live performance.
Nothing happened until the impromptu performance by sinners number four, six, and eleven ended.
"Where's the promised superpower?"
Unable to understand how things were unfolding, X asked the head of the welfare department beside him.
The welfare minister, with his short, dark blue hair, shook his head.
He didn't know that his understanding of superpowers was even less than that of his supervisor.
Cervantes, who was also in the monitoring room, knew this because he had just tried it.
Just as he had feared, Shibusawa Tatsuhiko's superpower was suppressed to the point that he couldn't use it at all. No matter how powerful it was said to be, it was still far inferior to theirs.
“Mr. X,” Cervantes offered a hint:
"Shibusawa's abilities are not as strong as mine or Dante's."
And... the red-haired youth looked at Dazai Osamu, who had left the sea of learning. His special ability was too special to be measured by the standards of ordinary ability users.
"He can't even protect the control department?"
Could it be that people with superpowers are also classified into different levels like those with supernatural abilities?
Are Cervantes and Dante considered ALEPH or WAW level among superhumans?
Looking at the white-haired, red-eyed little figure on the screen that gave him a strange sense of déjà vu, he said to the welfare department head beside him, who was in charge of the company's reverse Kabbalah inhibitors:
"Daniel, try turning down the suppressor in the control unit."
Could it be that people with superpowers are also abnormal beings?
One of the coffee machines couldn't help but have the same idea as its supervisor.
He responded and began operating the device.
Almost the instant the suppression intensity was lowered, white mist began to swirl around the little white figure.
Like the working scenes of some anomalies, the surveillance cameras were completely blocked.
The people in the monitoring room had no way of seeing what was happening inside.
The people inside the white fog were completely unaware of what was happening in the monitoring room.
Rather, in the instant the fog enveloped the space, which wasn't particularly large to begin with, a sudden change occurred.
The instructions that should have been broadcast on the radio remained silent for a long time.
In fact, the only true superhumans are Dante and Tatsuhiko Shibusawa, but something went wrong.
The situation is rapidly developing in the direction that the supervisor wants to see.
The three sinners who swapped souls did not disappear on the spot like ordinary people.
Instead, it... stares at its original EGO.
EGO seems to follow their souls.
The corresponding manifestation is...
Those beings who looked exactly like them, the same kind of sin of envy, used their initial EGO and charged toward their corresponding sinners!
but.
This is Lobotomy Corporation, a place where you can lack anything but standard EGOs.
Even Sinclair, who had been attending classes recently, was only released after being fully armed by his supervisor in preparation for the possibility of a "swap".
Not to mention the other two who had just gotten off work.
Compared to the Envy-related sins encountered in the Orbital Line, these "Self" beings using the initial EGO are practically punching bags.
It was extremely easy compared to suppressing the endless stream of anomalies within the company.
After the last member of the "Envy" trio also turned into a pool of flesh and blood.
A new "sin of jealousy" has appeared out of nowhere, using the same old formula.
Then came endless repetitive labor.
Dante stood in the corner, observing the somewhat chaotic scene before him.
Being in the fog didn't affect him completely; it's just that his special ability was very unique, both before and after the mutation.
The gray-haired, red-eyed guide stood beside him, watching the sinners who were beginning to become numb.
As a gesture of sincerity in asking for a favor, Shibusawa Tatsuhiko revealed his special ability to Dante in its entirety, including a description of how the "Tatsuhiko Room" operates.
However, what is happening now does not match the report at all.
He knew the information wasn't fake; he could feel his connection with Dante had weakened considerably, and he was now able to resist Dante's commands.
The question is, what exactly is the situation with those three people over there?
Shibusawa Tatsuhiko stood on the other side of the brown-haired, green-eyed Transcender, his expression no longer as calm as before, as if he were deep in thought.
The gray-haired man who suddenly appeared is undoubtedly Dante's supernatural ability.
But... there were no supernatural crystals, nor did they show the slightest hostility.
This is different from the ability users who previously fled in disarray within their own fog, trying to avoid their own abilities.
The young ability user, unaware that the extraordinary ability of the person before him was actually that of an independent individual, sighed in amazement.
“Mr. Dante,” he said, adding that he wasn’t even qualified to call Dante “Teacher Dante” anymore, and could only choose this inappropriate title.
"Your special ability... is truly unique."
Is this what a transcendent being is? My supernatural ability has absolutely no effect on him...
Moreover, there was the fact that his own supernatural ability had suddenly malfunctioned, as well as the three people over there.
The strangest thing is not Dante, who is unaffected; he himself is aware of the situation.
The ability to hunt down transcendent beings is a pipe dream for him now.
But those three people are also wrong. This isn't a simple test of supernatural abilities; it's clearly an experiment with an unclear purpose.
Those three people were like lab rats.
Dante is the executor, and I am... the experimental equipment?
The chaotic battle was drawing ever closer to the onlookers, and Dante, who had remained silent until now, finally spoke:
"You should try to kill them all together."
Unlike the three who were tightly bound and constantly fighting, Dante was always watching.
Whether it's a small theater or a battle.
He also knew his own expectations. He had witnessed X's work performance, and if everything was normal, he couldn't have remained without a countermeasure.
In this situation, the most likely explanation is that he cannot see what is happening inside the fog.
Although he could retract the fog from Shibusawa, it would be better to resolve this directly this time.
At least X won't be startled by his own employees out of the blue.
The white mist in the surveillance footage lingered, and the supervisor was considering whether to send someone inside to check it out. He also had an anti-supernatural ability user he had called down just in case.
Suddenly, the white mist dissipated.
A chibi-style character has also appeared on the screen. The red-eyed Virgilius is holding one in each hand and carrying another on his shoulder.
No one knows what happened, but all three criminals lost consciousness.
Seeing that things had come to a close, Daniel turned the suppressor back up; it wouldn't be good if the aliens took the opportunity to cause trouble.
In the end, the guide took on everything, and X looked at the three people placed side by side.
"What happened to you in the fog? The surveillance cameras can't see anything inside."
The gray-haired man revealed an expression that said, "I knew it."
"They're fighting with their own EGO."
They've started fighting with EGO—such a niche term.
“They should be able to switch back once they come to their senses,” Dante said.
As the three subconsciously followed the instructions of the audience, the "seed of jealousy," which had been transformed into a mass of flesh and blood, began to glow with a golden light.
The three of them lost consciousness the instant the golden light appeared.
Dante saw golden chains extending from the three people's bodies.
The golden glimmer from the flesh and blood on the ground also merged into the corresponding chains.
That's right, it's the corresponding chain that's being entered.
In other words, it's highly likely that they have already switched back.
Shibusawa Tatsuhiko finally entered the monitoring room, still reliving what had happened in the fog.
What exactly is that faint yet still dazzling light?
A crystallized power?
No, even twins with the same superpower will have different crystallizations of their superpowers due to individual differences.
But those three people... both the chains and the light seemed to be identical, like a one-to-one replica.
This color scheme is very similar to Captain Rabbit's... but why does it seem like he's not very bright?
Noticing that the young man in the center was watching her, she looked in the direction of his gaze with her red, glassy eyes.
It was a pale gold, unlike the brilliance in the mist. This gold seemed to be covered by glass, giving him a subtle sense of separation.
Is it a coincidence?
Or is he actually involved?
