Welcome To The Nightmare (Book 2)

Chapter 40: New Player

"Mama?" JiU stood up and got closer to the apparition.

"Mama? Minji?" Minzy raised her eyebrows, couldn't believe to see her eldest child.

JiU's tears fell like raindrops onto the floor. She thought she would never see her mother again. But there she was, right in front of her eyes. She ran towards Minzy, attempted to hug uer tight. All she did was crashed into the wall behind the apparition. She started to wail heavily, causing Gahyeon and SuA to immediately come to her aid.

"Wow.... This is her mother? The Great Ares herself? She's.... Cute...." Dami whispered underneath her breath. Handong couldn't stop staring at Minzy, her mind still trying hard to interpret what happened.

"This is my Mama? Mama, do you know who I am?" Gahyeon approached Minzy, only to get an awkward laugh from her.

"Sorry, did I have another child? My memory wasn't up to date." Minzy apologized to Gahyeon.

"Yes, I'm Gahyeon. The youngest. I was bornt 5 years after JiU unnie" Gahyeon introduced herself.

"Both girls. Good things you two took after me." Minzy smiled.

"Up to date? Wait, you're an AI!" Yoohyeon exclaimed.

"Like Alice and Artemis?" Siyeon frowned.

"You know them? Then you must be CL's new recruits. Minji, why the hell did you walk down that path?!" Minzy turned to JiU and scolded her.

"You.... You died. You were killed by The Seers. Papa too..." JiU sobbed.

"Wait, I died? For how long?" Minzy was so surprised by the revelation.

"More than 20 years. JiU was 5 when you died, Gahyeon was almost 1. CL unnie took in JiU while Gahyeon was raised by Mrs Schneider. And the one who killed you and your husband were burning the Earth in search of those SD cards." Dami explained to Minzy.

Minzy pondered for a while, trying to piece all of the information together. Then she started talking.

"The Seers killed me? Then, Genesis is imminent. Good thing I was founded by you girls. How far did they progress?" Minzy posed them a serious question.

"Wait, you just jumped into that question immediately? Start by explaining what you are first, for Christ's sake!" Handong set out an outburst, which took Minzy by surprise.

"Okay.... You said I was like Arty and Alice. No I'm not. I'm.... A conscious being. Although in a digital state. How to explain in layman's term..." Minzy scratched her head, trying hard to explain to them.

"You transferred your consciousness into the SD cards in a digital form, almost like an AI, but have your emotional states retained and also your thought processes. You process information like a human do, not using solely on logic but with both logic and emotion." Yoohyeon explained to all of them. Minzy nodded in awe.

"Right-o, dear! Wow, never thought I met someone that smart besides Bryan and Sayaka." Minzy clapped her hands.

"But these SD cards just a normal kind. How did you compress all the data into these?" Yoohyeon asked again, this time out of her curiosity.

"Well, for starter these cards weren't normal. I created them myself and gave the design to Bryan. From the encryption to the capacity, they are about a century ahead. A single card have the capacity of a thousand yottabytes." Minzy puffed her chest, partially proud of herself.

"Damn! That's more to contain the Internet itself! You and I gonna get along well." Yoohyeon grinned.

"Never mind the tech shits! About what you said before, Genesis and The Seers. How did you know the existence of The Seers? Even Cal oppa himself didn't know about it." Siyeon shouted.
