Pick Me Up, Infinite Gacha

[Amkena Episode 8]

‘Why the police?’

not one or two

Nearly ten police cars rushed into the complex and stopped.

A man in a police uniform with a loudspeaker came out of the lead car and shouted.

[Ah, inform the terrorist. inform the terrorist You guys are surrounded! If you surrender meekly, I will guarantee your safety. Ah, notify the terrorists! Please surrender with me!]

She opened her eyes wide at the unexpected words.

“Terrorists…”

“You mean us.”

Aaron, hiding behind a broken wall, looked down and said.

They are standing on the third floor of an abandoned building.

Due to the dark surroundings, it will not be easily discovered.

“Hey, it seems that the boss of these guys is also quite quick.”

“yes. You must have expected us to come.”

She stared at the moaning hoodlums.

There’s no way that number of cops will be dispatched to catch a few thugs.

A number of police officers jumped out of the group of police cars that had already settled down.

They hold weapons in their hands with a stern expression.

It was a pistol loaded with live ammunition.

[Notice once again! You are surrounded! Free the hostages and surrender! There is no escape. You are surrounded! Liberate the hostages…]

‘Trap? hostage?’

If you’re a hostage, you’re talking about her.

But it’s strange.

I couldn’t understand before and after work.

There’s no way the thugs and the cops have a cooperative relationship…

‘Couldn’t they have been brainwashed too?

But brainwashing cops is different from brainwashing street gangsters.

She felt as if her normal daily life until yesterday was collapsing.

“Go.”

“yes?”

“If their target is us, they won’t touch the Master.”

“That’s…”

I don’t know.

But what Aaron said was most likely true.

If kidnapping and arresting her had been his top priority, he wouldn’t have entrusted the job to a thug.

If it’s enough to brainwash the police, it would be ridiculous to manipulate public power.

It was enough to fabricate the facts of the crime and put him in jail.

Amkena didn’t know what it was. The only thing that is certain is that she herself is in the greatest danger of her life.

“The opportunity is now only. If you hang out with us more, the Master will eventually be targeted as well.”

She watched the cops below.

“…”

Mother is waiting at home.

It was already deep in the morning.

You must be worried about what’s going on.

Moreover, she is of no help in this fight.

Because she was just a normal person.

‘It might rather be a hindrance.’

I was lucky if I didn’t catch my ankle.

but.

“I will not go.”

“yes?”

“I want to help if I can.”

She looked at Aaron with determined eyes.

“It is dangerous.”

Amkena said nothing.

two silent.

Aaron, who finally read the determination in her eyes, relaxed his expression.

With this, she became Master Amkenna of Taoni again.

“Then, please, for the time being.”

“Shouldn’t we take care of the juniors first?”

At Nihaku’s point, the two of them looked down.

They were approaching the abandoned building with a police car barricading them.

“Junior, do you know of a weapon called a gun? Getting hit head-on is pretty dangerous.”

Aaron nodded.

Currently, Aaron and Nihaku’s powers are doubly limited.

The first is that the link with the nucleus is weakened by being far away from Valhalla.

The second one was weakened by the characteristics of the Earth dimension.

Now, the physical abilities and powers of the two were greatly limited.

Still, there are things you can do.

Especially if it’s Aaron who deals with karma.

His eyes sank.

“I will step in.”

Aaron jumped straight off the third floor.

[Ah, listen to the terrorists. You are surrounded…]

Aaron walked out of the light.

“There! Are you okay?”

“Ahem, it would be difficult if I ignored the juniors I raised.”

Clap!

Dozens of pistols were pointed at Aaron.

“Lay down your weapons and surrender!”

Aaron straightened the mop handle he was holding.

The stance he took was a swinging stance, one of the basics of spearmanship.

“Lay down your weapons! I will not warn you twice!”

The police car’s headlights illuminated Aaron from all sides.

The shadow of Aaron cast by that began to sway like a wave.

“What…?!”

Whoops!

A sound like a bee flapping its wings echoed from the shadows.

The faces of the cops surrounding Aaron changed.

“Fire the bar!”

Tata Tata Tang!

Gunfire and gunpowder smoke.

“What the fuck is that!”

“Shoot! Shoot!”

“A request for support…”

The police panicked.

phut!

A Smith and Wesson M60 revolver fired.

At the same time, a 38-caliber bullet protruded from the action of the gunpowder hit Aaron’s forehead.

At that moment, a strange ripple arose between Aaron’s forehead and he absorbed the bullet.

“…?”

The bullet that was supposed to pierce his skin and skull and stir his brain disappeared the moment it collided with Aaron.

It doesn’t disappear.

may be absorbing

No, it may not actually be absorption.

“What is that!”

“Shoot, shoot!”

Faced with an incomprehensible situation, the police gave up their thoughts.

I just screamed like crazy and pulled the trigger.

‘ha.’

Aaron sighed inwardly.

A reaction like seeing a monster.

No matter how many times I met him, I never got used to it.

“What is this! Request support from the superiors right now…!”

Aaron swung his spear horizontally.

That moment.

Papabak!

Dozens of shadows jumped out from the tip of the spear and covered the crowd of policemen.

After a while.

Tuduk.

The sound of cops collapsing all at once.

Aaron threw down the mop sack.

didn’t kill

Amkena widened her eyes.

‘What is it?’

I wanted to swing a spear into the air, and the police officers fell all at once.

Neither the cops in cover nor the cops in the car are insignificant.

I couldn’t figure out what happened.

“What is it just now?”

“Can’t you just look at it? Shush! Do it! Did you do that?”

“Shushuk Park?”

I thought it would be different from normal people since I’m not from Earth.

“Whoops, that junior is a bit special. Even without a Master, you can exert some power. Ahem, I guess it’s worth saying that this body taught me hard.”

“There is no time.”

“Ahh!”

Amkena hit her buttock.

Aaron, who was standing below, turned into a dark shadow and in an instant went up to the third floor.

Aaron made a sad face.

“Oh sorry! I don’t know…”

“It’s okay. because i’m used to it Anyway, let’s relocate. It is dangerous here.”

“Yes, but where?”

“Secret Base!”

“A secret base?”

“Hold tight!”

“what?”

thump

Nihaku picked up Amkena.

After that, the world seemed to be spinning around, and then the scenery outside was reflected.

Nihaku is jumping between the roofs of buildings while holding Amkena.

“uh?”

A feeling of buoyancy I’ve never felt before.

she let out a shrieking scream.

* * *

Inside the old garage.

A dim light illuminates the interior.

“….”

Dust is blowing.

Amkena sat blankly on top of the lung drum.

‘what.’

Just yesterday, it was peaceful without anything happening.

This happened in one day.

is it a dream?

I pinched my cheek, but it only hurt.

‘Why did he say he would help?’

dried up and gone

I’m a civilian with no special skills.

At home waiting for my mother to come home.

‘What do we do?’

Click.

look at the screen of the cell phone.

Missed messages and calls piled up.

It belonged to her mother and her cousin, Jinho.

‘Should I reply? Are you late for work?’

If I’m not careful, I could even get my family involved…

The two people who were outside the car while thinking about it came back.

Aaron said with a firm expression.

“master.”

“yes yes?”

I’m not used to being called a master.

Amkena hurriedly answered.

“The future is going to be pretty dangerous.”

“Stomach danger?”

“I thought about it again, but I don’t know the purpose of the opponent. If it was to lure us with the Master as bait, the defense wouldn’t have been that much. What do you think, Miss Nihaku?”

“Not the sheep, senior.”

“…What do you think, Nihaku-senpai?”

“I am not sure.”

Nihaku replied brightly.

“Using the head isn’t our specialty, so why are we putting so much effort into the sword?”

“No, we’re the only ones here…”

“Can’t we just call the seniors?”

call other members.

Aaron agreed with that opinion.

But by what means?

The rest of the members are scattered during the emergency escape of the airship, and it is unknown where they are.

“If we make a mess, won’t it come together on its own?”

“You make a mess?”

“Parking splendidly in the center of the city so that you can know it unconditionally! Flash! thump! You can do it.”

“yes?”

Aaron opened his mouth.

Amkena couldn’t keep up with their conversation.

No, in fact, even the current situation was dizzy.

‘therefore.’

On the way home from work, she was caught and kidnapped by a strange boy.

It was the heroes in the game that released the restraints.

Afterwards, they are holding a strange strategy meeting in an unknown garage at the request of the heroes in the game?

‘There’s no sense of reality… so little.’

However, it was she herself who accepted the offer.

He had surrendered himself to an unknown impulse.

“Whispering, whispering, talking like that.”

Nihaku seemed to be explaining the outline of the operation to Aaron.

Aaron, who finally heard the plan, expressed disapproval.

“Isn’t that way too risky?”

“It’s okay! Sirini and Yurni must know that we move like this.”

“How do you know?”

“persimmon!”

“It doesn’t matter.”

Aaron shook his head.

And I looked at Amkena.

“There is something I can do if you want to master it.”

“If I can do anything.”

“That’s…”

“This is it!”

Pak!

Nihaku pointed to the corner of the garage.

An old model car was parked there.

“Wouldn’t Paba Park’s eyes gather if I rode this and ran randomly through the middle of the city?”

“…?”

Amkenna is lost.

“Ride through the city in this car! People’s eyes are gathering! Then the sisters and brothers will know where we are! It is roughly like this.”

“That’s right.”

The head does not turn.

“You want to drive through the middle of the city in this car and attract people’s attention?”

“It is. It should be very visible. What is it, reverse driving or drifting? Just play it like a great car thief game!”

“No, I… don’t have a license.”

Amkena cried.

driver’s license.

I tried to pick it up.

But it failed.

The writing was perfect, but I failed the practical test.

The instructors who were sitting next to me were kicked out of school because of strange driving methods, such as sudden braking and speeding on a practice course or S-shaped drift on a simple curve course.

“And this is a junk car. It won’t roll.”

Abandoned car in an old garage.

It’s impossible to move properly.

The car in the garage was dusty.

Of course there will be no oil.

“Tsk! Tsk!”

Nihaku lightly waved his index finger.

“Here comes your junior.”

“…”

“Is it possible that he can’t do it?”

“No, I will.”

Aaron sighed deeply and raised his right hand.

The power of karma to turn fantasy into reality.

It will be possible.

“…?!”

Amkena, who was watching, was startled.

Aaron’s hands began to turn black.

Something like a black shadow rippled and swayed.

Aaron put his hand into the junk car’s gas tank.

Suwook.

Before long, the shadow of the hand began to seep into the car.

“Ahem. The job of a junior is a sword that can do anything! As expected, this body, a proud senior, taught me well.”

Amkena’s eyes widened.

A shadow covered the car and its exterior began to change.

reality manipulation?

Magic?

When Amkena came to her senses, there was an open sports car in front of her.

“Recharge energy here!”

When Nihaku put his hand on the side of the car, he grabbed it!

Intense yellow lightning flashed.

“Charged!”

“…”

“It’s called Black Thunder!”

Black Thunder?

“Come on, let’s ride it!”

Nihaku smiled and pushed Amkena onto the steering wheel.

good.

The comfortable feel of the cushion.

I can’t believe it’s a junk car that was covered in dust just a moment ago.

put your hands on the steering wheel

This cool and heavy feeling.

It’s been a while.

‘however.’

As the girl said, wouldn’t your life be over if you drove this car through the middle of the city?

Amkenna has lived a peaceful and boring life.

No, most Koreans would be like that.

I go to work on weekdays and spend the weekends at home.

An ordinary life, nothing special.

But what if you do something like this?

What if you run frantically on the congested roads of Seoul?

‘Isn’t my life over?’

No matter how much it is to help Han, can we go this far?

Is it worth mortgaging my life?

Amkena was troubled.

“…”

and said.

“How many seconds is this zero hundred?”
