Chapter 322: Bypassing
Contemplating the next steps in my plan, I lingered in the lobby. Observing individuals entering the adjacent area, they all appeared to be regular employees.
Attempting to influence them seemed futile, as any efforts would likely be neutralized by the scanner.
An alternative approach crossed my mind—utilizing teleportation. But there was some issue with that plan.
While I could potentially bypass the scanner at this range, the lack of information regarding possible countermeasures in this facility made me hesitant to proceed.
Besides, I hadn't even tested what would happen if I actually teleported through the scanner.
I recognized the importance of taking the safer route to gather the necessary data. There was a lingering concern that this facility might have measures to delete information during emergencies.
'I should find a more quiet place first,' with that in mind, I walked into the nearest restroom and entered one of its cubicles.
At the same time , I went on and study the map I got from hacking into the system. The blueprint of the whole building laid all before me.
"Let's see if this will work," I focused my attention on the wall in front of me. The bathroom should directly lead me to the other side if I teleported from here.
The issue with these scanners was that they were positioned in a way that there was no room on both sides; all were pure metal. My teleportation range was not enough to pass the whole area in one go.
So, a genius idea popped into my mind.
Well, in my case, a genius idea should be considered a normal one because, to be honest, I'm too smart to think of something dumb to begin with. I have to put in extra effort to come up with a stupid idea.
Pure metal would be really hard to destroy even with my telekinesis, and quantum magnets would create too much noise. But I had something much better: a black hole.
I closed my eyes, immersing myself in the silence of the bathroom. Raising my hands, my right eye transformed into a swirling abyss as I visualized a black hole materializing 10 meters within the metal walls.
*BLINK
I teleported into the space created by the black hole and repeated the process until I emerged in what appeared to be a spacious office. It was the type of office you usually see in those wealthy companies, not an underground base.
It was also a good thing that I had made myself invisible, so the man seated at his desk remained oblivious to my presence.
I hovered towards him and then peered at what he was looking at on his computer. He was examining intriguing files, mostly about Gifteds.
'Oh, a Gifted who can turn people into stone?' I muttered to myself as I examined the information on the screen.
Considering the details he had on other Gifteds, I assumed he must hold a high position. Even after Kanon hacked into Cerebrum, the available information she got was quite limited.
I hovered towards the front of his desk and saw that he was actually a director.
'Oh, shoot, I hit the jackpot,' I chuckled to myself. Jumping inside an office and catching a big fish in one go was quite unexpected.
'Don't move,' I whispered to him as I used my Telekinesis to hold him in place, just in case my ability failed.
[Suggestion: Succeed ]
But there was no need for that; he immediately succumbed to my power.
'What is happening? Why do I feel like everything is too easy?' I thought to myself. I was under the impression that Cerebrum, as an international organization, would have more protection. But aside from that barrier and scanner, everyone here seemed easily manipulated by me.
Now, I'm wondering how an organization like this managed to survive this long against powerful Gifteds.
Or maybe the Korean branch just sucks big time? That was another possibility that I was thinking of. Zhang was Chinese, and I don't think he was originally part of this branch at all.
In fact, most of the people I fought back on the island were not Korean.
'Maybe I should change my strategy,' I mused. My plan was to gather information about my mother, but what if I took control over everyone here?
Using oath and by hacking the entire mainframe, this place could continue to function normally, while in the shadows, I would be in control of everyone.
'You're a genius, Zyden,' I couldn't help but grin mischievously after thinking of a brilliant plan like this.
With that, I linked my mind to the director. I didn't really care about who I controlled, as long as I got access to the mainframe.
I began hacking into the computer to retrieve the information I needed.
'Got it!' I exclaimed after finding a file containing information about my mother. As I clicked the file, I was greeted with all the information they had on her. Unlike the files in the confinement ward, this was more detailed.
The name on the file was unfamiliar, yet as my eyes fixated on her photograph, an unwavering certainty washed over me – she was undoubtedly my mother.
In that moment, my heart quickened its pace, a surge of emotion coursing through me. The image before me captured her essence in all its beauty, a vivid reflection of the enchanting woman etched in my memories.

'I know it; my mom is OP!' I feel like a proud kid, knowing that my mother was this powerful. Look at the immortality part — it means she could not die at all. How cool was that.
'No wonder she did not age in the picture,' I thought to myself, recalling the photo taken on that rooftop. Everything was falling to pieces now.
*CLICK.
I clicked on "More Info" to delve deeper into details about her, hopeful that her current location would be available in this data.
However, another name popped up on her file that caught my attention – "Zed Zol." It shared the same last name as my mother, so I clicked on it.
