{ Escape Attempt 2 }

Like most people, it was the first time in my life that I had entered the duct.

‘but… How many people in the world have crawled inside?’

As if trying to shake off the tension, Yang Gwang thought with a grin.

However, even if he forced a smile, his impatient mind could not be easily relieved.

For he had no idea how far he could go along this duct.

‘I would have to go outside the server room at least.’

It was a big deal if even one obstacle such as a fan or filter appeared in the middle.

I don’t know if I can even quietly remove it, but how can it be as easy as my heart?

And now, the duct was big enough to somehow crawl, but it was not known how long the duct would continue to be the same size.

Yang Yang-gwang carefully looked around and continued to move forward.

If I could no longer move, I had to come back, and I was thinking of finding a way to prepare for that.

To survive here, we had to anticipate possible futures, grasp as much information as possible at the same time, and make the right decisions as quickly as possible when needed.

‘Huh, huh… .’

Was it because of his impatience?

Or was it because it was the first time in my life that I was crawling so hard on the floor?

It was obviously in the duct full of air, but it felt like something was lacking in oxygen.

‘It’s not like I’m constantly turning my eyeballs.’

He thought forcing himself to smile again.

‘This is enough… Couldn’t there have been more than enough of the server room?’

His head was moving diligently, but it was not easy to estimate the distance he had moved.

How long would it have been?

A dead end came into Yang’s eyes.

I can’t tell exactly because of the hum of the server room, but I haven’t felt any abnormalities yet.

He moved more agilely, and reached the front of the blocked passage.

He reached a dead end and swallowed his breath,

‘phew.’

A sigh of relief escaped from his mouth.

Fortunately, the end of the blocked duct was connected to the upper and lower passageways.

Yang Yang Gwang looked at the vertical passageway.

You don’t know how lucky you are that no obstacles appear.

Time, time is important.

He had to get out of this facility quickly before his disappearance was discovered.

And to do that, every second was wasted.

‘Should I go up?’

The server room is located on the 2nd basement floor.

In order to escape, it was natural to climb the way closer to the ground.

However, Yang Yang-gwang, who was pushing his upper body through the upper passage, stopped for a moment as if he was about to go up.

Then, contrary to what he had just thought, he began to carefully descend downwards, supporting himself in all directions with his limbs.

He decided that it would be better to go down to the 3rd basement floor and then get out of the duct and move quickly than to climb up the stairs with difficulty and go back to the first floor.

There must have been more people going up anyway.

If you get stuck in the duct, that’s it.

So it was better to go down here.

However, even as he looked back on his own judgment, thoughts continued to run through his mind.

‘If you just hide here like this… .’

Wouldn’t it be quiet soon, thinking that you ran away?

Wouldn’t it be better to move when the time passes and their search network expands, and when loopholes are revealed?

However, Yang Kwang soon smiled bitterly and moved on.

When the situation is bleak, vain hopes bloom.

There is no way a place with such strict security would pass so chaotically.

He will definitely look through the CCTVs and trace his whereabouts to see if he really left, while also checking all the routes to get out of the server room.

Then it was just a matter of time.

‘You have to leave quickly. When the opportunity arises.’

The main reason for the decision is to go down judging that it will be much easier than going up, but even this is not as easy as you think.

Beads of sweat gushing out.

Zeng Zeng Zeng Zeng

I was being careful as much as I could, but every time I touched the duct walls on all sides, there was always a noise.

It felt like my heart was sinking at the sound of a distant ringing.

chuck

Soon Yang Yang-gwang carefully lowered his feet to the floor.

‘done… This is the third basement floor.’

I don’t know exactly where I am now, but according to the drawings I had in my head earlier, it was most likely the outermost area of the building.

Vertical ducts usually run around the edge of the building.

His eyeballs moved in all directions.

‘You have to leave quickly.’

Rather than crawling more for nothing, it is more advantageous to get out at least one hour early and then move quickly on foot.

Having made that decision, Yang Gwang-gwang crawled a little more through the duct and got out through the hall he met.

Then he pricked his ears for a moment to check the popularity, then gently pushed up the upper floor and looked around once more.

‘no one is here.’

Yang Yang-gwang quietly lifted the floor section, pushed it aside, and climbed onto the floor.

He then realigned the floor to clear the trail and turned around quickly.

Yang Gwang-gwang stood up as if nothing had happened.

His gaze naturally looked around, but no one caught his eye.

‘great.’

While trying to lower his gaze to the top where the CCTV would be, Yang Yang-gwang brushed off the dust on his clothes and walked forward calmly.

Then he started to operate the portable terminal in his hand.

The terminal in his hand and the portable computer he had connected to the server room were still connected.

Fortunately, wireless communication is running smoothly inside the building.

Yang Kwang tried to act naturally.

In any case, officially, he is an employee of this company.

Isn’t there a pass on your neck?

So, the general staff at this facility are more likely to think they’re just one of the visitors if they encounter them.

So did the staff in the security room.

Unless something special happens, no one will be constantly staring at the screen.

Even if you were looking at the screen as a habit, you wouldn’t pay much attention to an employee who moved naturally like this.

‘Take the elevator first.’

In my mind, I just wanted to run up the emergency stairs, but I didn’t know that it might look more suspicious.

Yang Yang-gwang passes under the CCTV installed in the hallway, looking down at the terminal.

It was as if an employee was walking while looking at their personal phone.

It wasn’t to keep his face from being caught on CCTV or to look natural, but he was desperately concentrating on operating a portable terminal.

It was because he was moving while looking down at all the CCTV screens around the place he was moving with the terminal he had in his hand.

There was no need to show suspicious behavior such as sticking your head out of an alley corner to check your popularity, or sneaking a glance behind you.

It was like throwing rice cakes at them.

‘It’s over there.’

Yang Yang-gwang checked the terminal and at the same time came up with a design drawing in his head, he walked towards the elevator.

‘!!!’

Meanwhile.

He turned and hurriedly placed the security card at the sensor next to the door on the right.

Almost at the same time as the sound of the door opening, Yang Yang-gwang pushed the door and went inside.

And then quietly closes the door.

CCTV screen viewed from a portable terminal.

There, he saw a security guard walking from the opposite direction of the route.

‘phew.’

I feel my heart pounding.

Yang Gwang-gwang, who was watching the video outside through the terminal with his back against the door, sighed quietly.

The security guard, who had entered the hallway he was in, passed by the room.

‘It’s crazy that I did it in advance.’

Yang Yang-gwang thought as he looked at the security card hung around his neck with the words Visitor on it.

Before leaving the server room. He had given his security card the highest authority of this facility.

If I hadn’t done that, I’d probably have run into the security guard in the hallway without even getting into this room.

Yang Yang-gwang, who continued his thoughts, tilted his head for a moment.

‘Isn’t it okay if we still meet?’

So far, there have been no signs of any abnormality.

There is a high possibility that he has not yet been caught escaping the server room. So, if you act naturally, you may not be suspicious.

But if you’re faced with a security guard, can you actually act casually?

Even just imagining it, I felt a tingle.

He shook his head and calmed his beating heart.

‘It’s better not to run into each other than to run into each other.’

Yang Yang-gwang looked around for a moment.

CCTV was also installed in all rooms.

So, the security room might be watching you right now.

Anyway, since I came here, I had to act as naturally as possible before leaving.

‘Here… Is it like a warehouse?’

Shelves to store things are lined up in front of you.

Yang Gwang-gwang, who noticed the location of the CCTV hanging above, stood up so that his back was reflected in the camera.

Then, pretending to be looking for things, he checked the hallway outside the door through his portable terminal.

However, the background beyond my hand caught my eye.

The items on the shelf looked like medicines lined up.

Yang Yang-gwang kept his back posture fixed and quickly turned his eyeballs to look around.

Then, on the other shelves, I saw boxes of what appeared to be medicines on them.

On the other hand, there were also refrigeration facilities.

‘It must be terribly unnatural… .’

He sighed inwardly.

Who will enter this room?

No matter who looked at it, he was not wearing a researcher’s outfit.

Besides, I didn’t know what this place was doing, so I couldn’t help but appear clumsy in what I was doing.

Yang Yang-gwang shook his head and remembered the layout of the previous drawing.

If I remember correctly, this was the room next to the lab.

‘laboratory… ‘

Yang Yang-gwang quickly operated the terminal and looked into the room next door.

What appeared on the screen looking down on the CCTV was, as expected, a laboratory.

But he felt that the scene there was somehow awkward.

Yang Gwang-gwang tilted his head for a moment, then realized what was strange.

‘Why aren’t there any researchers?’

Judging from the top-secret documents reviewed above, it was normal for researchers to continue monitoring the subjects.

Then, in his mind, the word ‘disposal’, which had been written in the document, came to mind.

There was no law telling him not to suffer like that.

Yang Gwang’s heart grew a little more urgent.

‘Anyway, you have to move quickly!’

After confirming that there was no one outside the door, he quietly opened the door, then went out and rushed the road.

As it is, you get on the elevator and go up to the ground, then get in the car and get out of the facility.

Identity is strictly checked when entering, so as long as you are empty-handed when you leave, you will pass quickly without any major issues.

Whatever excuses or excuses you use, you just need to get out of the facility.

That’s it.

He was already a strong-willed person in hacker activities.

I’ve never been caught by anyone’s tail before.

So if you just go out, then no one will find you.

But then,

wooeng woog

Loud alarms began to ring in all directions.

The great Grand Sword Master, Hieljeroham.

A priest who ascended to the rank of Grand Sword Master.

Although the power of the Paladins was great, none of them had ever risen to the position of Grand Sword Master, and probably never will.

Hiel Jeroham.

A truly unprecedented existence.

He was now about to end his life.

Hiel Jeroham knew it.

that the life given to him will soon come to an end.

He quietly reflected on his life.

‘Really, the years… It seems to have passed quickly.’

How I overcame and passed through so many difficulties and hardships, it was difficult to even remember each one now.

Was it because his life was so blue?

When it came time to end his life, it seemed as if those long years had been a dream of one short day.

‘Everyone pointed at me.’

Hiel-Jeroham did not follow the Order and its high-ranking priests forcing them to obey God. Rather, he resisted their oppression.

He denied God, or to be more precise, a God who freely explained in the sect.

The fallen priests arbitrarily interpreted God’s words according to their intentions and rejected the content that forced them to follow them unconditionally.

Hiel Jeroham was just trying to understand God correctly and follow Him completely.

and.

Perhaps a decision was made that was somewhat foreseen on the part of the mind, but not truly foreseen.

The consequences of his beliefs were horribly simple.

driven by heresy.

Ahh… stigma of heresy.

What other punishment can be so cruel for those who believe in God?

By high-ranking priests, Hiel Jeroham was charged with a heretic.

From that day on, the sales that were pouring towards him were so low and primary that it was hard to even imagine.

Primary threats from those who blindly trust high-ranking priests and those who follow them.

An environment that does not tolerate even a word of defense for itself.

So Hiel Jeroham was attacked by the enemy as well as by his allies.

The whole world was like an enemy to him.

Adding to the injustice that seeps deep inside is the loneliness as if left alone in the world along with the continuing threat to life.

As he struggled through the bog every day, he pleaded with God to lead him on the right path.

He desperately endured every moment, vowing to go forward so that God could be with him for the rest of his life.

Heretic, Hiel Jeroham.

However, there was one thing that never changed in him, the divine power that radiated brightly from the depths and depths of his body and radiating brilliantly even outside his body.

Surely it wasn’t heresy?

All those who went to fight Hiel Jeroham felt an incomprehensible nobility and holiness in front of his divine power.

No matter how you look at it, it was difficult to get the feeling of being heretical in his goodness and in his actions.

Rather, they felt the shame welling up from the depths of their hearts when they saw Hiel Jeroham.

The sublime that makes you look back at yourself like a mirror.

Hence the name it was called.

The fallen paladin, Hiel Jeroham.

Maybe it was natural.

From then on, voices of objection that there seemed to be some kind of error began to burst out everywhere.

However, when this happened, the sect’s oppression against Hiel Jeroham grew stronger and stronger.

To protect their authority, to maintain the authority that only they have.

But Hiel Jeroham overcame all those difficulties.

He did not doubt that all these sufferings were prepared for him because God loved him.

I know that the trials of faith produce patience.

I know that deep patience leads to the path of transcendence.

Hiel Jeroham always looked back to see if the path he was taking was the right one, and whether it was against the will of God.

Someday when this life ends, and when we fully enter the arms of God

at that time,

I pray that I can be bold in front of him.

Hiel Jeroham asked himself.

‘Now I… Such… ?’

The stigma of being a heretic that could only be removed after getting out of the muddy waters and finally kneeling the high priests of the order.

And as a result, they cast off their stigma as a fallen paladin, and they got a new name.

The great Grand Sword Master, Hiel Yeoroham.

who God loves.

His heart answered.

Even if I had to live again, I was so diligent and diligent that I couldn’t be sure if I would be able to live so fiercely.

Yes, so no regrets.

I’m glad.

I did my best.

I wonder if God was pleased with my past life…

will you really love me,

You will find out soon.

Hiel Jeroham looked up at the sky.

‘I’m ready now.’

Then he slowly closed his eyes.

The life allowed him was slowly coming to an end.
