Chapter 44
A dark, bronze-hued mansion.
I followed Supervisor Park Minseong, walking silently behind him. The supervisor, who had accomplished the insane feat of 'disguising himself as an usher machine, fooling the system, and rescuing a poor new hire,' evaluated the situation in his own way.
"It's not like their AI is particularly advanced. Maybe about as smart as a roomba? So I figured I could trick it for a moment by mimicking its appearance!"
I wasn't entirely convinced the machine's intelligence was that rudimentary, but the timing had worked out, and he had saved me. For that, I was eternally grateful.
"Um, but how did you disguise yourself..."
"Ah! My special equipment."
Supervisor Park grinned and pointed to a cloth draped around his neck. Oh!
I recalled his earlier explanation about his personal equipment.
– Mine is a camouflage item. It can't transform me into a person, and its duration is short, so I only use it as a last resort.
Until now, I had only heard about such things in ghost stories where they didn't work or were otherwise meaningless, but this was my first time seeing it in action.
'Under the right circumstances, it's actually pretty decent??' I was tempted to borrow it as a parent seed to make a new customization for my personal equipment.
But that's not the priority right now!
