Chapter 461
473. Mind reassembly
‘I always think about it, but it’s really useful.’
gurgling gurgling.
Kang Seung-hyeon used the [Miracle of Teratoma] to turn the assailants (what used to be) into unrecognizable chunks of meat.
Originally, this side was ambushed, so just going to the adventurer’s guild and reporting it would be enough, but this time it’s different.
Since one of the assailants was a dimension mover named ‘Seong Ha-min’ who had just sent a message aggro, if it was known that he was killed while attacking Kang Seung-hyeon, I would almost certainly think, ‘Actually, the real GGG is Kang Seung-hyeon, and wasn’t that message fake?’ because it does
‘If I’m going to mess with it, I’ll do it in a place like a dungeon where it’s convenient to dispose of the corpse.’
It was the moment when Choi Yi-han, who had [Agong’s Gate], became envious.
If anything, it’s enough to throw it into the gap of the dimension.
‘At this level, identification would be difficult. I mixed everything up, but how can they find out?’
After completing the probation, Kang Seung-hyeon took off the hat he was wearing and crumpled it and threw it into his inventory.
‘I’ll never use this again.’
As long as the identity of > >GGG< < , the first and worst aggroman in Azul Continent, is rumored to be 'the Sword Emperor', there will be nothing good about pretending to be Baek Seon-ho. Of course, the reason why such rumors spread was because of Kang Seung-hyun. 'By the way...' Kang Seung-hyun looked at the [Lobotomy] skill window. [Lobotomy] [Exclusive skill for mind weapon] [Method of physically destroying the mind.] 'I expected it from the first time I saw the name, but I didn't know it would get rid of emotions at all.' I thought he would not be an ordinary guy because it was a skill with the motif of a surgery that cuts off the brain and turns a person into a disabled person. So it's not surprising that it affects emotions, but I didn't think it would be permanent destruction rather than temporary sealing. 'Did this mean physically destroying the mind?' Unlike general mental system skills, [Lobotomy] does not return even after time because it physically destroys human 'emotions'. As an analogy, even if you use a paralysis skill to make your arm immovable, the paralysis will wear off after a while and you can move your arm. 'Well, I broke my brain, but what does it mean?' If the name of this skill was [Brain Washing], it ended at the point where it was [Lobotomy], which translates to frontal lobotomy or lobotomy. 'It's a pity that only two of the joys and sorrows can be destroyed, but it doesn't matter if these are the kids who will die anyway.' Of course, it is also possible to make a miserable person with no pleasure in life, unable to feel emotions other than anger and sadness, even if he loses only twice with [Lobotomy]. But if he committed a crime that big, it would be cheap to kill him, so wouldn't it be better to just kill him? It was Kang Seung-hyun who thought that. 'Well, if I'm going to live like that for the rest of my life, I'd rather die.' Kang Seung-hyun thought about this and that and looked at the skill window again. [If you succeed in getting hit, select one of the opponent's emotions 'Happiness' and destroy it.] 'Emotional Destruction. At first glance, it may sound quite scary, but if interpreted well, it also means that you can remain calm in an emotionless state.' In the first place, there are many multi-type skills that Kang Seung-hyun acquires that can heal and attack. 'No matter what I do, it's because I'm a wild healer.' Just as [Miracle of Teratoma] with a teratoma motif is used well for treatment (although sometimes it is not), [Lobotomy] with a motif of frontal lobotomy can also be used to calm people who lose their reason and run amok. 'Of course, [Lobotomy] itself has no effect of restoring the destroyed emotions, but...' Self-healing is impossible, but it is not that there is no way to cure it at all. 'It would be possible if I use a different skill.' The skill Kang Seung-hyun chose was [Mind Reassembly]. Originally, the main effect of this skill is to regenerate your 'Mind Weapon' when it is destroyed, but it has one more effect attached to it. [Restores the target's damaged emotions.] At first, I didn't know what it meant, but after I got [Lobotomy], I knew how to use it. 'It meant to destroy emotions with [Lobotomy] and fix them with this.' [Mind Reassembly] was a filial skill that not only recreates extinct mind weapons, but also recreates destroyed emotions. 'In the first place, restoring the mind weapon imprinted with the user's emotions was the double track.' I knew that [Lobotomy] could also be used for treatment with this, but the problem was that there was no one nearby who could test it. 'If I had known it would be like this, I would have left at least one assailant.' Originally, a 'skill' may not work for others even if it works for oneself, so basically, you must test it on others. 'The barrier has disappeared, but no one is coming.' rustle. Just in time, I felt a presence from behind. 'Okay, that's great.' A lab rat appeared at just the right timing. Kang Seung-hyeon was waiting inside the alley, and swung the [Dagger of Blue Moon] the moment a human approached. [Lobotomy] “Aug!” Then, along with a very familiar and bewildered voice, the brain-shaped skill effect was crushed again. "huh?" When I looked up, I found Kim Ho-jung lying on the floor. “Mr. Kim Ho-jeong? What are you doing?" “Aww.... Mr. Kang?” Kim Ho-jeong was usually bewildered, but under the influence of [Lobotomy], her face became even more bewildered. By the way, the emotion that was blown away this time is 'Sorrow' of joy and sorrow. [The subject cannot feel 'sadness'.] So, if it was normal, Kim Ho-jung would have been surprised and weaved. “Eh… why did you hit me all of a sudden?” Now he is lying on his face with a bewildered face. “Kim Ho-jeong suddenly appeared.” "sorry." “I just need to know. But why did you suddenly appear?” “Oh that? Because of the commemorative message earlier. GGG's true identity is actually Baek Seon-ho. You weren't Mr. Kang." “....” I thought there would be many dimension movers getting hooked on the message, but at least you shouldn't be hooked. It was Kang Seung-hyun who thought that. “Of course it’s a fake. I was impersonating you.” "to?" “They sold out Seon-ho Baek’s name because they found out he was GGG.” “Did you catch me? Are you okay?” "I'm OK. Preferences are not good, but.” “How bad are you?” "For days and days, dealing with hundreds of top-notch dimension movers, I'll be eating tasteless Adventurer's Guild bread for a while." "Wow, that's too much..." It was the moment Kim Ho-jung was about to cry as usual. “Eh.” Immediately after receiving the 'Lobotomy penalty', he returned to his dumbfounded face. "what? what?" "Oh, it's just a small thing." "huh?" “Because I destroyed Kim Ho-jung’s feelings.” "to?" “That’s why I can’t feel sadness.” "It's not trivial... ugh." Kang Seung-hyun explained [Lobotomy] to Kim Ho-jung, who had a blank face. “Lobotomy? It has a similar name to Teratoma.” “Where are you going?” “Tommy and Thomas.” “That way, ‘Anatomy’ is more like it.” “...What is Anatomy?” Kang Seung-hyun opened his mouth with a look on his face asking why he asked such a thing. “Anatomy.” “So lobotomy is robotics?” "no. That's the name of the operation." “They have the same name, but something is different.” “I think both names are of Greek origin.” This is because 'tomy', which goes into lobotomy and anatomy, is derived from 'τομή', which means to cut. “Ah, by the way, Lobotomy’s Lobo means Brain Anatomy’s Ana at the top.” So, 'Lobotomy' is surgery to cut the brain, and 'Anatomy' is the study of cutting the body and turning it inside out. "huh? Brain cutting surgery?” "yes. So, in Korean, it translates to 'lobectomy' or 'frontal lobotomy'.” “Eh...” “Which do you want, a detailed explanation or a brief explanation?” “As expected, this should be explained in detail.” Kim Ho-jeong smiled and opened her mouth. After being beaten by [Lobotomy], my emotions were shattered, but my other emotions were the same except for sadness. “In fact, [Lobotomy] is commonly known as frontal lobe resection, but it is a resection, not finely slicing, but more like crushing, and usually only the prefrontal cortex is treated, not the entire frontal lobe.” "to?" “That's why it doesn't fit the medical terminology, but I think translating it as 'frontal lobe destructive surgery' would be hotter and more natural...” “I'm sorry. Change it to a simple explanation.” The only thing Kim Ho-jung could understand from Kang Seung-hyun's words was the 'fact' he said at the very beginning. -“... so now it's a forbidden operation. The [Lobotomy] I got is a skill created with that motif.” “But did you write that to me?” “Isn’t there any problem in living without sadness?” “Did Mr. Kang not even watch Inside Out?” “I haven’t seen it.” “You must see it when you go to Korea.” I felt it while observing Kim Ho-jung, who was affected by [Lobotomy], but Kim Ho-jung, who at first took additional damage for trying to cry, is now reacting calmly even in situations where he might cry. 'If the state of being destroyed by [Lobotomy] lasts for a long time, you won't be able to know the emotion itself at all.' If you try to be sad in the beginning, but you can't be forced to be sad, later on, you feel like you don't know the sadness itself. In this case, even if you don't receive additional damage, the emotionless 'penalty' is still applied, so if you don't show other emotions quickly, it seems to be a system where you get hit twice by the mind weapon. “I’ll solve [Lobotomy] for now.” "huh? that's right. Was my sadness gone? It's really scary when you think about it, but I don't even think about it! How could this be?” “So it’s [Lobotomy].” Kang Seung-Hyun activated [Reassemble the Mind] and restored Kim Ho-Jung's smashed 'Sadness'. [The broken '哀' has been recreated.] "Uh..." Then the light returned to Kim Ho-jung's eyes. Originally, he was a stupid person, so he had a stupid face. “Suddenly, I get goosebumps. This skill is really scary..." "Don't think too badly of it." "huh?" Kang Seung-hyeon smiled as he turned the [Blue Moon Dagger] lightly. “The test is over, and thanks to that, we can easily attack the eastern polluted area.”
