Chapter 1718 Who Will Know? -Part 40 (Final)
When they reached the basement where they defeated the Mecha Fire Dragons, Jin took a look at the mess that was left. Even though the Dungeon Instance had disappeared, the scars, the marks, and even how they had been destroyed had shown that this was not done by a small group of people.
If he wants to explain the situation, he probably has to hide some evidence by burning and destroying the parts even further. Otherwise, he could just show a quick glimpse of the monster mechanoids that were killed and speak more about the future.
Either way, it would be a headache he had to suffer through after coming out of this underground facility. "Yinn, might give me some space to think and talk to myself?" Jin asked and his vice squad leader nodded.
"I will be waiting at the corner right over there."
"Thanks, it would not be long."
"Just do not go out of my sight. No matter how strong you are, you would still need help."
"Thanks once more," Jin said as he walked further down the secondary platform which was more stable to sort out his thoughts. At that point, he summoned the System and… Syn.
"That's a rather nasty trick to play on me. You already knew there was nothing inside, right?" Jin started off with that and Syn chuckled.
"Yes, yes. I already knew there was nothing inside. That is why I have decided to give you the passcode so as to not waste time. I assume it would be an entertaining scenario to look at but I never expected it to be this fun." Syn commented.
"Please don't do this again. It can be fun at the start but irritatingly tiring for future times."
"Yes, okay. Jin I will take note of that." Syn replied and Jin sighed.
"Well, since that's off my chest. Anything to help me with the speech? I feel I'm a little torn."
"About what to say?" Syn tried to confirm the question. "If that's the case, why not just say the truth? Otherwise, lie all the way. AI Administration believed that either way, the Daimon City and Parry City had put enough trust in you for you do to what is needed." Syn gave its opinion.
"User could just not show it and let the military handle it. There is no need for you to show proof in the System's opinion. Come out from the borders of Parry City and those military who see you, will know that you had defeated the monster mechanoids and proceed from there."
"I feel that giving them something right now would be a better choice. Everyone is hot on their toes and the finger is too close to their triggers for comfort." Syn replied.
"We did not catch one of the known people behind this, that General Toba," Jin said and the System told Jin that he could relax on that.
"After Sir Peru Peru's speech, the Air Force in general immediately went in guns blazing to save their General as well as taking over the War Room. The Air Force General had been injured during the firefight as General Toba was said to have used him as a hostage. Yet, Air Force General Inus was able to -according to the reports, to slip using the chair he was being tied to and this slip enabled the air force special commandos to take the shot to incapacitate the Army General into custody."
"Since the System already gave that much info, then I shall give you a bit of special info."
"No thanks, I do not want it. That will amount to favours or debts in the future." Jin rejected flatly and the System would laugh if it could. "I learned the bad way not to ask or receive special stuff."
"I assure you this is free information which you will know subsequently as well." Syn did not give Jin any choice but to accept the information. "Ever since the war room had been overtaken, General Inus asked the operations to rescue their people to continue although your Generals do not accept it."
"Even though Sir Peru Peru swears by him, your Generals stated that until Jin comes out alive or when the Mecha Fire Dragons emerge out of the city grounds, Daimon would continue to stand by," Syn added.
"The System could have told him that."
"Just let me talk a little. I do feel lonely and you guys are currently my only friends here." Syn said and Jin laughed before realising that Yinn was watching him so he lowered the laugh.
"The System understands this solitude that AI Administration representative Syn is going through but at the very least, you had some contact unlike the System when it had to weather the-"
"We don't need any history lessons at the moment. I guess I will announce the speech here and later get my men to come here and fetch me. I am exhausted, and would prefer to have a ride home than walk through the streets and get popped by a stray enemy sniper."
"I cannot guarantee whether that situation that would happen or not." Syn's hint was more than enough reason for not following the System's advice to come out of the basement and walk back.
"Then the System guessed User knew what he needed to do." The System returned to dormancy from Jin's side, leaving Syn and Jin alone for a while.
"And, what are you waiting for? Don't you have to leave and govern the rest of the Virtual Simulation? I am sure this is not the only place that is rather happening."
"On the contrary, it is the most happening place at the moment. Almost all the cities in the Empire had taken interest in this. Your Generals will fill in the rest but okay, I will get going." Syn replied but before he left, Syn decided to converse with Jin again.
"Hey, I know I had kinda cheated you with that empty chest. Will promise to give you some compensation for your efforts."
"That would be great but it's not needed. Don't worry." Jin as usual does not want to keep any debts.
"Also, one last thing. Your soul extractor. It's almost ready. You can return home soon. I promise you its not a lie… Just remember to come back," Syn said.
"Don't worry Syn. I have a score to settle with the Royals as well."
