83. Lab (2)

─Aya Hyun.

“·······.”

How could even the buildings look the same?

─What are you doing? Eat faster.

‘Why did he do that then?’

I still don’t know.

Why did my parents urge me to eat quickly?

I think there were more questions, but that was the only thing that came to my mind now.

“You stay here.”

Lee Yoo-hyeon said.

This was the CCTV room.

Because it is a remote island, there was a bit of a delay on the CCTV. Thanks to that, I was able to not be late, and now I was in the process of deciding my next destination after subduing the officials.

“Why?”

“See the walkie-talkie here? We’ve made a connection, so if someone comes after us, you can contact us. If you are in danger, run away.”

“Well, anyway, even if I go, it won’t help.”

“I know that.”

“Doesn’t he usually comfort you?”

Anyway, I hate it.

Captain, what do you like about this guy?

“Okay. Is it okay to just do what you are told to do?”

“Can you do it well?”

“Of course, but it could be a little late because of the delay?”

“I’ll take that much into account.”

“Huh.”

Joo Hyun-ah opened the gate again.

“3Rd floor dormitory… Right?”

“Right.”

“Why are you looking for that woman?”

“Um…”

Entering the gate, Lee Yu-hyeon answered.

“Because I need it.”

With that, Lee Yu-hyeon entered the gate.

“Be careful”

Saying that, Shim Mi-hyeon followed suit.

After confirming that they both arrived safely, they closed the gate.

“Because it was necessary…”

It overlapped a bit.

The appearance of the captain.

Well, the ‘necessity’ that Lee Yu-hyeon said is, at least, an excuse.

“It would be nice~”

It may be too late, but the woman will surely be saved.

Because Lee Yoo-hyun is that kind of guy.

***

“As expected, it’s comfortable.”

This is a dormitory building. It is the space where the test subjects live.

If I went into the room at once, there would be a commotion like before, so I came to the hallway.

I looked around.

The number on the door. 301, 302, 303…

There will be a spare room in one of these many rooms.

I already checked the location.

The quality of the CCTV wasn’t great, but it wasn’t too difficult to find someone who looked just like the description in the novel.

“Room 304… Ah, here it is.”

Although it was dark, I found the room itself quickly.

Now we have to go in.

“・・・・・・Is it okay?”

“It will be fine.”

In this experiment, 5 people live together in a small room.

The environment is the worst, even starving.

That’s why I can’t sleep. Maybe there are people who are still awake. In fact, everyone in the dormitory I went to earlier was awake.

Even if you find Yu Yeo-han easily, bringing him out is an even bigger problem.

[ Sync to the Fifth Life. ]

[ Synchronization rate – 60% ]

Ah, of course it doesn’t apply to me.

[Use the skill, ‘Infiltration’. ]

[ Use the skill, ‘Stealth’. ]

“Come here.”

I grabbed Shin Mi-hyeon’s arm.

Shin Mi-hyun seemed a little surprised, but she calmed down and nodded her head.

He probably felt a sense of his presence fading. Of course, it is the power of skill.

I carefully held the doorknob.

It’s locked, but I forcibly turned it to open it.

Clumsy.

It made a minor noise, but it was fine.

We are invisible to the test subjects anyway.

“It’s okay, right…?”

“It’s okay, but don’t talk.”

I took Shin Mi-hyeon into her dormitory.

We were greeted with the same dirty interior as before. Something rotten smelled.

I frowned for a while, then carefully looked around the room.

There are no beds, only blankets. There is also no pillow.

A person lying in a corner, a person lying in the middle, and a person lying in the other corner.

Everything was dry.

And.

“·······.”

She saw a woman squatting in the farthest corner, staring blankly out the window.

Dusty brown hair that sticks out here and there as if it were roughly cropped.

A slimmer body than other people.

Bruises and wounds that look like they were made today.

I could clearly see the hardships I had suffered here with my own two eyes.

I approached her.

[ Use the skill, ‘Tangent Line’. ]

This is a skill that does not emit sounds from a specific space.

A transparent membrane surrounded it.

I called her name.

“Relax.”

Yoo Yeo-han quietly turned her head to look at me.

“Are you a researcher?”

Not even surprised, he calmly asked.

“I won’t be able to sleep tonight.”

Her voice was emotionless.

A voice that forgot all sorrow, joy, and anger.

How did I forget them?

Maybe she should have forgotten.

A lot of thoughts went through my mind.

“No, I won’t do that.”

I held out my hand.

“Let’s get out of here.”

Yoo Yeo-han looked at my hand.

After all, there is no change in expression.

“I am hungry.”

“Then we should eat first.”

Only then did he hold my hand.

I took Yoo Yeo-han outside.

“Who are those people?”

“Later.”

I can’t get them all right now.

Because Joo Hyun-ah’s abilities are limited.

First of all, it is correct to save Yoo Yeo-han, and then bring the heroes.

─A researcher is on his way there.

Joo Hyun-ah’s radio came.

One person is coming this way.

─I don’t think you guys know what you’ve been infiltrating. It’s relaxing.

Then it’s fine for now.

Stealth is still in effect.

The researcher passed us, then started walking again.

“Joohyun-ah, how about your side?”

I said into the walkie-talkie.

“·······.”

From noble mtl dot com

There was no response.

Is something troubling happening?

“I’m in a hurry.”

I broke stealth.

Yoo Yeo-han didn’t have enough stamina, so she just put on a blanket and ran.

“Heo Eok, Heo Eok… Why are you running? Aren’t you supposed to run?”

“I can’t contact Joo Hyun-ah.”

In fact, even if we were contacted, the fact that we had to hurry didn’t change.

The researcher must have just found the smashed doorknob.

Weeeng—!!

Bad timing, the sirens started to sound.

It was a difficult situation.

“Ahh! This is a big deal, right?!”

“Perhaps.”

“But why are you so calm!?”

“I will.”

Maybe it’s because I’ve been through so many unexpected situations.

I wasn’t even surprised anymore.

“Let’s go this way.”

Thanks to that, I was able to understand the situation well.

We went around looking for Joo Hyun-ah.

I just need to meet you somehow.

“······Hyeon-ah, are you okay?”

“Of course.”

Joo Hyun-ah is not stupid.

Probably, as soon as someone entered the CCTV room, they opened the gate and escaped. The walkie-talkie must have been left with me then.

Seeing that the researchers couldn’t find us, it’s clear that the CCTV screen was also broken.

“Should I just break down the wall and get out?”

I felt violent at the complex structure of the laboratory.

The loud sound will attract aggro, but it will be easy for Joo Hyun-ah to find us…

…… Isn’t it bad?

When I thought about it, it seemed okay, so I decided to run it.

I handed Yoo Yeo-han over to Shin Mi-hyeon.

“Take care of him.”

“Huh? Okay, I get it.”

[ Summon the artifact, ‘Eternity’. ]

Eternity’s special option is to release all stored damage.

Even in the desired form.

I haven’t used it so far, so it must have accumulated quite a bit of damage.

It is not impossible to drill a hole all the way to the outside at once.

[ Use the skill, ‘Observation’. ]

[ There is no life behind that wall. ]

The ‘information’ that the power of observation refers to includes these things.

“Then…….”

I got my posture.

It’s not really related to martial arts, it’s just a good posture for swinging a fist.

“Huh!!”

He put a lot of energy into it and used special options at the same time.

[Artifact, ‘Eternal’ special option is activated. ]

[Use the skill, ‘Burning’. ]

For your reference, I selected Burning with the permanent acquisition right obtained last time.

The black light emitted from the half-gloves wrapped around my fists and forearms.

Somehow it looks similar to Ether.

My mood was a bit bad, but I felt full of energy.

Kwaaang!!

As soon as the fist hit the wall, fearsome wind pressure arose.

The walls shattered one after another with a roar.

Through the large hole, several other holes were visible, and the scenery outside was visible beyond them.

A hole drilled in a neat, straight line.

“Crazy…”

Shin Mi-hyun opened her mouth in admiration.

Yoo Yeo-han was still expressionless.

“Let’s go.”

I walked through the hole first.

I went through quite a few rooms, and in some rooms, things like research materials were destroyed.

It was not my business.

“Crazy, what is this?!”

Before I knew it, I heard people’s voices behind me.

At first glance, they are not allies, but researchers.

“Hey there! Catch!”

“Are you crazy? How do you catch a person who makes holes like this?!”

Maybe because he was a researcher, he was smart.

“Damn it, then release ‘them’!”

Those?

I don’t know what it is, but it seemed annoying anyway.

I asked Yoo Yeo-han.

“Can you run?”

This hole is narrow, so it’s not suitable for running while holding Yoo Yeo-han.

If you run, you’d be better off running alone.

Yoo Yeo-han nodded her head.

“Okay. Mihyun, please take her. If you go straight ahead, you will probably find Joo Hyun-ah.”

“You?”

“Um… I tell him to feed him some food and then come back in an hour. Let’s go then.”

“…… Are you crazy?”

“I’m fine.”

I did that earlier.

It’s right to save Yeo-Han Yoo first and bring the Hero later.

Even now, that thought has not changed.

When Yoo Yeo-han is safe, he will call a hero.

“I don’t have much time, so I’ll go quickly.”

I just want to tidy up a little before that.

“······You were a nicer person than I thought.”

“Thank you for the compliment.”

That’s right.

I am nice.

[ A sub quest has been created. ]

Even though it’s an action to get the potion, it’s comfortable to think of it that way.

=

{ Sub Quest – Salvation }

This lab is overflowing with people who have been unfairly captured. Free them

Clear condition – Save the people. Compensation is paid according to the number of quests.

Reward – Number of People Saved x Synchronization Potion

Penalty for Failure – None

=

It was a decent quest that I haven’t seen in a while.

Yes, no penalty is normal.

I went back to the entrance of the hole, that is, to the ‘place where the hole was made’.

Even then, the researchers won’t attack me.

It was only natural that they had no mediocre abilities.

Instead, I’ll use something unknown that I used to call ‘they’.

Judging by the fact that the super senses haven’t been triggered yet, there was time.

I passed the dormitory and continued down the hallway.

It wasn’t dark because the lights were on, probably because the emergency switch was pressed.

······It was a red light instead.

“I have always been curious about this place.”

I found this earlier while looking for Yoo Yeo-han, but unlike the normal dormitory, there was a separate facility called a ‘special building’.

I couldn’t check because the CCTV was broken only there.

Originally, I would have ignored it even if I was curious, but I just came across it once because I had to pull aggro anyway.

If you’re lucky, you might find something useful.

I opened the door with a feeling of anticipation.

Clumsy.

The wide open door revealed the same scenery as the other dormitories.

“Eh, is this all?”

Just as I was about to be disappointed, I saw a person.

Unruly gray hair.

It wasn’t as good as Yeo-Han or the other test subjects, but it was still a skinny body.

“…… Uh?”

There was an unrecognizable and weak narrative.

“······Lee Yoo-hyeon?”

Gu Seol-hwa recognized me and called my name.

I sighed and closed the door again.

“Wait a minute! Wait! Reason-“

Kung.

“Wow, that’s creepy.”

Why are you here?

…… Feel bad

I went back the way I came without regret.
