Chapter 64

Chapter 64: Signs (5)

The grey SUV was driving through the city street. Chun Yeowun was now completely different with his new look and hair. He was wearing a fresh new black suit with boots, and a long coat that matched modern times. His atmosphere made him look like a young businessman. It was awkward at first, but Chun Yeowun actually liked his new look.

‘I should get used to this.’

He also bought many extra suits, so there was no problem with clothing anymore. His old clothes were packed in a paper bag and were stored well in the car, so he could take it when returning to his old times.

-The call cannot be connected…

Bak Jongse frowned at the voice coming through the Bluetooth speaker on the car. He was calling the professional skin mask maker, but he wasn’t picking up. The store wasn’t open to the general public, so he had to call in before visiting.

“This is strange. He should pick up at this time.”

“Is there any problem?”

“It seems he is out of his store.”

“Is he?”

“Should we just go anyway?”

Chun Yeowun shook his head. He needed the mask to hide his face, but it wasn’t necessary at this point. There was something he had to solve first.

“Is there any place to train or meditate around here?”

“Training, you said my lord?”

“Aren’t you a martial artist? Don’t you have a place for your training?”

“Ah…”

Bak Jongse then remembered a place. It was his old home. His father was also a martial artist, so he had a training room in his own home. But that place had a problem.

“There is one… my home. But the place might be littered with surveillance cameras and all kinds of taps installed by the PSB.”

It was sure that the PSB had installed them when they took Bak Jongse’s mother.

“I stayed at Six Road Toy’s agent dormitory after that, so I am not sure. But I think it should be like that still.”

“Good. That’s much better.”

“Pardon?”

“Let’s go to your home.”

“Uh… yes, my lord.”

Bak Jongse became curious at Chun Yeowun’s order but changed his direction. He hoped that Chun Yeowun would go straight to the PSB to rescue his mother, but he couldn’t talk back to the current Chun Ma.

After an hour, at Bak Jongse’s house at southern part of Simyang city. It looked like a regular house, but there was a large training room inside. The room was filled with traces of old training, and on the side, there was some weird machine. It was a large barrel-like thing with a glass wall with a cushion on the ground for a man to walk in and sit down.

‘What is this?’

[It is unknown, Master.]

Nano answered Yeowun’s question. Bak Jongse scratched his head and spoke.

“It’s a bit old, but it is useful for meditation. My step-father used a fortune to buy this.”

“Is it for meditation?”

“Yes, my lord. It’s old, so it is a bit lacking in power but… have you not seen one of these?” Bak Jongse asked surprisingly. He thought there was no way a powerful man like Chun Yeowun would not know about the machine. But it seemed Chun Yeowun truly did not know. Bak Jongse then walked over and pressed the button on the machine.

The LED light inside of the barrel lit up and the machine began to activate. Chun Yeowun became shocked. As the machine activated, the environmental energy around it began to concentrate into the interior of the machine.

[Pure energy is being concentrated inside the machine.]

‘Yeah. I know.’

Chun Yeowun was more sensitive to the qi flow than Nano. Bak Jongse spoke to Chun Yeowun.

“Regular meditation becomes much more effective when done inside the barrel.”

The purpose of this machine was to help with meditation. Chun Yeowun nodded as the question he had for a while was now solved. He thought that the energy became tainted in this time that it was too hard to increase internal energy like this. And this machine seemed to be the answer to that.

‘Nano, if you don’t know this machine, then this world sure is very different.’

This was quite amazing. Nano was created from a much more distant future, but even that future did not have a machine like this, resulting in very weak martial artists.

‘Interesting. They solved the problem with a creative way.’

He even wanted to compliment these people in this time for such work.

“Do all Yulinians use this machine?”

“No, my lord. These are expensive so I think not even half will get to use these. But there are medicines that can help just like this one. Oh, but those are expensive too.”

It meant the Yulinians of these times required lots of financial investments to increase their power. Bak Jongse looked at the machine and thought to himself.

‘It’s good that the PSB only installed those surveillance cameras.’

This machine was so valuable that it was often stolen. The only reason it was intact even after the long time of absence of its owner was probably because of those cameras. Bak Jongse then asked with a telepathic message.

[But why did you tell to come…]

Bak Jongse, who tried to ask the reason for coming here, couldn’t finish. He realized that maybe there were machines that could tap into telepathic messages also installed within the premise. This place was like a minefield. It was when he was thinking about what to do—

“Ugh!”

Bak Jongse fell to the ground at the sudden blood seal. He couldn’t move nor speak. Only thing he could do was to look at Chun Yeowun with a confused look.

‘W…why?’
