Closed Beta That Only I Played

Tapping the seat next to me, I pointed to Oliveira.

“Come here and let’s talk. Don’t worry. I’ve come here to do business with you. I didn’t simply come here just because I wanted to kill all of you.”

He was trembling uncontrollably.

Even though he trembled at my words, he finally approached me, trying to glare at me as his subordinates were watching him. He looked a bit funny, but I didn’t laugh.

Anyway, it was indeed gutsy that he stepped out, though I would not call it courageous.

“Good. We can talk to each other now. What I want is to do with Sierra Leone. I want to know about the diamond mines there and the rebels who took possession of them. Of course, I don’t need detailed information because I’m going to go there and get rid of them. Oh, the place where they colluded with the rebels. Is it called Debius? Give me some information about that too.”

“…”

Oliveira didn’t respond.

So I opened my mouth again with a smile.

“I’m sure you will give me that information, right? I guess the corrupt capitalists who have colluded with the corrupt rebels will be contacting you sooner or later. Tell them my name is Lumen, and that I’m their killer from a frigid hell. That should let them know who I am.”

As soon as I finished talking, I raised my right hand in front of his eyes, and formed a little thumb-sized ice over it.

When I threw the thumb-sized ice into the air, the upper part of the underground vacant lot here was frozen right away. Of course, if I had thrown it on the ground, I would have frozen everyone here in an instant. But that wasn’t what I wanted, so I didn’t do that.

About 10 minutes passed when he finally opened his mouth.

“Here you go. This has all the information of the location of the diamond mines in Sierra Leone and the three rebel forces occupying them, as well as the information about those who have colluded with the rebels.”

“Great. You are quick on your feet! Alright, see you again!”

Since I got what I wanted, I left immediately in the direction of the Atlantic Ocean.

I could reach the African continent without taking the long route if I crossed the Atlantic Ocean, especially as Sierra Leone was located on the coast, and was surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean on almost all sides.

***

At the Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia, USA around that time.

“Another unidentified flying object has appeared!”

“Given its flight trajectory, it looks like it is trying to cross the Atlantic Ocean.”

“It crossed the Atlantic Ocean and reached Africa from South America in exactly 32 seconds.”

“It arrived on the coast of western Africa, but it’s impossible to pinpoint its exact location right now.”

The Pentagon discovered the unidentified flying object by accident as they had been closely monitoring the Strait of Hormuz in Iran and its sworn enemy Israel through satellites that operated around the clock. A satellite floating over Israel detected something that flew at an incredibly high speed, and the Pentagon began to search for it immediately.

When they were about to give up the search because they could not find anything at all, they discovered a very tiny movement on the Mediterranean Sea. And they confirmed that the movement was the same one as detected by the satellite over Israel. Its destination was South America.

They became so nervous when they noticed that the unidentified flying object completely disappeared from the radar in an instant, but they then focused on a certain object that seemed to fly at the speed of light crossing the Atlantic Ocean from the South American continent.

In the end, they were not mistaken about finding something. Moreover, they detected it in advance.

So they could gather more information about the unidentified flying object.

One official said, “Even though we arbitrarily designated it as an unidentified flying object, we had no choice but to question that description as it seems to be flying accurately. Actually that unidentified flight, or that unidentified object, is moving as if crossing space meaningfully rather than just flying at the speed of light.”

“…”

“…”

“…”

Anyway, the United States, which prided itself as the police of the Earth, were stunned by the unidentified flying object.

***

In the Kangama region of Sierra Leone, bordering Guinea and Liberia.

As if to disprove the stereotype that the African Continent was a hot and vast desert, Kangama was home to a dense jungle.

“By the way, they are all more or less the same. They are just unreliable!”

Of course, I was not stupid enough to fully trust the information Oliveira gave me, but most of it was probably accurate.

He would need some time to figure out who I really was, and it was his best option to grant my request to buy the required time.

According to the information Oliveira gave, there were three major rebel forces in Sierra Leone and numerous minor ones, but they were all scumbags.

For example, they kidnapped people at random forcefully, regardless of whether they were young or old, man or woman, to use them for labor. They also killed people mercilessly just because they might join the opposing rebel forces and the government forces.

To make things worse, the three rebel factions kept committing more and more heinous crimes as if they were competing to determine who was worse.

“Hmm. I was thinking of saving some of them who were good enough, but looking at their heinous crimes…”

No matter how much I thought about them, I could not find any use for them.

And the moment I thought that, I felt a little disgusted about myself, I felt a little creepy about myself.

It was true that they were relatively evil people, but I thought of killing all those evil guys without any hesitation. I would not have considered such drastic options in the past.

“…” 𝒇𝚛e𝘦wℯ𝑏𝓃𝑜νℯ𝒍.co𝗺

But I had already killed a lot of them, and saw them die.

I had even witnessed the near extinction of mankind at one point

“Hehehe!”

At that moment, I started giggling for some reason.

At the same time, I refreshed my determination.

“I don’t want to be a killer, but I don’t have to be afraid to become one. I have absolutely no intention of becoming a killer, of course.”

Anyway, I deactivated Fly, then moved into the jungle.

While I was slowly moving through the jungle for about 5 minutes, I met a lot of guys holding AK-47 rifles, the most widely sold and popular weapon in the world. Of course, I deliberately approached them first.

“Who are you!”

“How come you are in this place?”

“Identify yourself!”

No wonder they were surprised by my appearance because it was the first time they saw a guy in a nice suit with fair skin walking through the jungle as if he was taking a stroll.

When I encountered them, I raised both hands over my head to show them I was not willing to attack them.

The information Oliveira gave me might not be wrong, but I still had to confirm it.

Watching me, they approached me with their guns still pointed at me, chatting among themselves.

“I think we have to take him to our main base, right?”

“Indeed. At first glance, he is an outsider. We might get a huge ransom.” f𝓇𝘦e𝑤𝘦𝚋𝒏૦ѵℯ𝒍.c𝐨𝒎

“You bet. Judging from his dress, he appears to be a VIP managed by another group.”

They chatted cheerfully, and then tapped me on the back with their rifles as if they wanted me to walk forward.

So I played along because that’s why I showed up in front of them.
