Cerebrum HQ Seoul
"Here is your coffee , Kanon," Michael spoke up with a smile as he handed a cup to her .
She was sitting at her office desk with three monitors displaying various data. They were currently working on another mission, as the number of rogue Gifteds was increasing.
Kanon nodded and continued typing on her computer. The rhythmic sound of her keyboard echoed through the room, creating a steady cadence in the otherwise quiet office
"Hey, did you hear about what happened on the border of South Korea?" Michael struck up a conversation.
He was still trying to get on her good side, unfortunately, she remained cold and maintained professionalism.
Regardless, he continued to make efforts. He knew that she was always interested in classified information, and he had just obtained a juicy inside scoop that was usually only available for senior agents like himself.
"What about it?" Kanon replied without looking away from her computer, her fingers dancing across the keyboard.
"Well, a very powerful gifted appeared, and we had to send our strongest gifted to take care of it. But the number of casualties was still really high," Michael sighed.
The re thought of the staggering number of deaths made him angry. In the face of a crazy and mad person, it was only natural for him to feel disgusted.
"What happened to that gifted?" Kanon asked.
"Well, he's dead, and that's a very good thing. People like him, evil through and through, shouldn't have lived in the first place," he sneered in contempt.
His disdain for powerful Gifteds who abused their abilities stemd from a personal tragedy—his family was killed by one.
"Oh, are you sure he's dead?" she asked with a sly smile on her face.
"What do you an?" Michael was confused by the sudden shift in her deanor.
"You'll know soon enough," she turned her head to face him, then pressed enter.
The mont she did, the entire HQ's power shut down for a mont, and the ergency power turned on.
That brief gap in electric power was all it took.
Michael's expression shifted, and then a smile ford on his face as he turned away and began conversing with other people. Gradually, the atmosphere in the entire room changed.

'That was easier than I thought ,' I chuckled to myself as I took control of multiple Cerebrum agents.
The scanner at the entrance was able to disable my suggestion. And I could feel so kind of ntal barrier surrounding the HQ .
I learned from Kanon that this ntal barrier was artificially made and could be hacked. This was the reason why it took a couple of days to go with this plan. She had been gathering information from the inside, and I had been planning everything .
Hacking a state-of-the-art facility might be challenging for so, but my plan was not sothing that any mortal mind could comprehend. It involved synergizing my various skills and utilizing them in a way that only a genius like could think of.
Before this, I had experinted on Kanon.
She quickly absorbed the knowledge of hacking through the power of Quick Learning, facilitated by our Mind Power-Sharing connection.
The advantage of Quick Learning was that all the information she acquired during this accelerated process would be permanently retained.
However, given the difference in our ntal capacities, I needed to make so adjustnts to ensure her mind seamlessly accommodated the new knowledge once I disconnected from her.
In this experint, I was actually able to artificially increase all her stats. I basically turned her into a super hacker .
I was like a virus; the mont one of mine entered their base, I could multiply my influence and corrode them from the inside without them even knowing.
"Momma, look, that big brother is so handso!" A little girl pointed her hands towards , so I waved my hand and she felt really happy.
I couldn't help but chuckle to myself. Kids have a way of pointing out the obvious.
As for her mother, well, she blushed even more when our eyes t. She nervously started playing with her hair. She seed quite young, probably a mom at an early age.
'Hey hey, you're in front of your kid, how can you act like this?' I sighed inwardly. So mothers were just too sexually frustrated.
'Maybe we should find a quieter spot?' I asked myself.
Currently, I was seated on a bench on the first floor. It was inconspicuous, and I blended in with the regular shoppers. I even bought an ice cream, and Rei i was with as my supposed sweetheart.
I chose her for a few reasons.
Min Hee and Eun-Haa were too eye-catching. One might give the impression that I'm into cosplay, while the other... well, that thought was so bad that I'd better not dwell on it.
"Why are we just sitting here and eating ice cream? And why do I have to wear this disguise?" Rei i whispered into my ears.
I hadn't shared my plan with anyone, being cautious about the possibility that soone might read their minds .
"Just calm down, I have everything under my control," I replied with a confident grin as I focused back on my puppets below.

The sound of a chanical door opening greeted as I swiped my ID card. I was now walking towards the prison ward, and no one was stopping because, at the mont, I was controlling a security guard.
I continued to walk casually until I reached so kind of control room. After knocking on the tal door, soone peeked through a small window. After realizing that it was one of their own, they opened the door for .
"It's my shift already," I casually ntioned.
Thanks to my passive abilities, I seamlessly adopted the personality of the people I controlled, making all my actions appear natural.
"You're 10 minutes too early," one of the guards monitoring the CCTV raised his eyebrows.
"Am I?" I grinned, and they caught on that sothing was off, but by then, it was too late. Their once skeptical looks were replaced with blank stares, then a creepy smile of their own.
