Chapter 120 – Episode 15. Acquisition of PMC
Blood shot!
Snipers started shooting from the second and third floors. Fortunately, the fire seemed to have impaired our aim and the bullet hit the ground a foot in front of where we were standing.
“It’s a sniper! “Get behind the car!”
We dispersed, took cover behind the car, and started shooting at the second and third floors. Only Shin Sawayanagi and I fired real guns, and Mari Kiyona fired gasoline on the second and third floors with a water gun.
Luckily, it seems that gasoline got into the open window on the third floor, and when Kiyonamari flicked her hand, the third floor started to catch fire, and only the window on the second floor caught fire.
Judging by the audible screams, it seemed like the unlucky one’s body was on fire as well.
“There it is! “There are not many enemies, so kill them all!”
While we were firing on the second and third floors, security guards dressed in their uniforms and techwear came rushing out the front door through the flames. They looked to be almost fifty years old, and this was quite a threat. How can I survive if I’m alone…
“Mr. Hata, would you please carry Marie over there?”
“All right.”
The place Shinya Sawayanagi pointed to was a container warehouse-like place 50 meters away. I grabbed Mari Kiyona, who was firing a gasoline gun at the guard’s path, and ran to the place Shinya Sawayanagi had pointed out. Shinya Sawa Yanagi also gathered his luggage and ran next to me.
Bang bang bang bang!!!
As bullets whizzed by, we arrived near the container warehouse and turned around to enter. Shinya Sawayanagi smiled and took out something that looked like a remote control and pressed it. An explosion occurred as the ground shook with a tremendous roar.
“When was the bomb planted?”
“Three years ago… !”
When Mari Kiyona, surprised by the roar and vibration of the explosion, asked, Shinya Sawayanagi answered.
That’s amazing. Did you plant the bomb three years ago because you thought the people here might kidnap you?
However, the situation did not end with the bomb. Among the fifty people swept up in the explosion, about thirty were left, with about twenty people remaining outside and a significant number of guards still remaining inside the building putting out the fire.
When the surviving guards came to their senses and were about to rush over, Shinya Sawayanagi had already prepared another bomb. They had installed something on each side of the road where it turned in an L shape, and judging from the way Kiyona Marie and I looked at each other and nodded, it seemed like they knew what that bomb was.
“You were here!”
The moment the guards discovered us, Shinya Sawayanagi detonated the bomb. The bomb that Shinya Sawayanagi exploded this time was not something that caused an explosion, but rather something that spewed out flames.
The flames danced here and there, spraying flames in all directions, but we had Kiyona Marie. Because she was a pyrokinetic who could control fire, she was able to focus the flames she spewed out at random on the guards.
Is this a cooperative machine? It had been a long time since we had worked together, so it felt like we were pretending even in this sudden operation.
“Aaaaah!”
The remaining twenty people were on fire all over their bodies and were making a fuss by rolling their bodies on the ground to put out the fire, so they could easily neutralize them by shooting at the parts not protected by the tech armor.
“First, let’s go back to the entrance. “We have to stay at the entrance so the 50 people left in the building won’t be able to get help to the basement.”
“Okay, hurry up!”
“I’ll go and ask about the situation over there.”
The two who killed all 20 people talked and then went back to the secret laboratory building. I followed behind and sent a line to Chieri Mimata on my phone.
Taira Ryuta: How is the infiltration going?
Cherry-chan★: It’s going well, I’m on the 4th floor now. When I interrogated the researcher, he said that there was a woman he kidnapped today on the 6th floor.
Tyra Ryuta: Be careful and contact me if anything happens.
Cherry-chan★: Yes~!
Things seemed to be going well. But when did Chieri Mimata change her name to Cherry-chan★? Should I change my phone security pattern? .
“They say the infiltration went smoothly. “We are currently on the 4th floor, and Mr. Azuma is being held on the 6th floor.”
“Thank god. “I hope it comes out soon.”
“We need to keep attracting attention here.”
When I told her that things were going well, Mari Kiyona was delighted and Shinya Sawayanagi said that he needed to attract attention with a slightly pale complexion. She looked a little strange, so I looked closely and saw that she was bleeding from her side.
It seemed like he was hit by a bullet while running away before the bomb exploded. Since Seryu Military Company is a small PMC, she was wearing a cheap bulletproof vest that only covered important parts, so it seemed like the hit was on her side, which was not covered by the vest.
Still, she was such an amazing person that she endured it without showing any signs of it until now.
“Have you been shot?”
“What? Shinya! “Did you get shot?”
“Gwae, it’s okay.”
I don’t think it’s all that good? Kiyonamari disinfected her hands with her flame(?) And she touched Sawayanagi Shinya here and there on her side and she sighed happily.
“Luckily, I think I avoided the long term. However, the bleeding is so severe that it is impossible to continue the battle.”
“I can do it myself if it’s just to attract attention, so Mari take Shinya to the hospital.”
“Are you sure you’re okay?”
Because we didn’t know how long it would take to infiltrate and return, there was a possibility that Shinya Sawayanagi could die from excessive bleeding.
“All you have to do is shoot and run away. Please take me to the hospital quickly. On the contrary, I won’t be able to concentrate if Shinya continues to bleed next to me.”
“All right. Please be as careful as possible. And thank you. I saw you for the first time today…”
“With today’s contract, we have become one family.”
Actually, I was better off without eyes to see. I was a little angry too. It must be completely shattered that something like this has happened since the first day of taking over. Don’t you think, “Oh, if you touch it, you’ll be screwed.”
“Thank you. “I’ll take Shinya to the hospital as quickly as possible and then come back.”
Kiyonamari looked as sorry as she could and tried to take Shinya Sawayanagi with her, who insisted that she would not go. Shinya Sawayanagi shouted for a moment before leaving and left about five throwing bombs for me.
Looking at the amount of bombs, it seemed that if Shinya Sawayanagi had not been injured, he would have been able to attract attention on his own. I threw a rock that was rolling around and broke the glass on the second and third floors. And then he threw the bombs left behind by Shinya Sawayanagi one by one through the broken window.
Kwaang~! Bang!
Even after two explosions, the building shook. Meanwhile, I wore a pair of black gloves on both hands.
◆Gloves woven with the thread of the Abyss [Epic Equipment]: These are gloves woven with the hair of the daughter of the Abyss. When using an abyss-type skill, it provides 150 percent correction and increases the chance of special effects occurring.
It was a glove I had previously obtained as a tribute to the Daughter of the Abyss. Now that I think about it, it’s been a while since I gave an offering. Surely the daughter of the abyss wasn’t upset?
I looked around. This was where a bomb had just exploded, so there were corpses everywhere. I gathered some corpses and chanted a spell. It was an offering to the Daughter of the Abyss, a magic circle spell.
After gathering about ten seemingly healthy corpses and chanting a spell, a black mouth emerged from the ground and began devouring the corpses.
The body disappeared with a creepy crunching sound. And this time, as if he didn’t like the offering, he left only a small black bead along with a note.
The note included two stars and the words, “Next time, sweets would be better.” By the way, do you know this is a Baemin review? Of course, I was planning to treat myself to a sweet Japanese convenience store dessert next time. Because I’m scared.
I thought the black bead was nothing special, but when I looked at the information, it felt like a combat potion that was applied for a short period of time.
◆Shadow Bead [Rare Battle Potion]: Abyss stat increases by 5 and shadow domination level increases by 5 for 30 minutes.
After eating the shadow beads, Will and Abyss became the same stat, 16. That’s a good thing, because if the abyss had been any higher, I would have suffered side effects for 30 minutes.
I ate a bead of shadows. The moment I ate the beads, I heard something whispering in my ear. It felt like someone was calling me from far away. I felt a little dizzy, but quickly got used to it.
“Hey, you monster!!”
Taang! One security guard, whose arm had been blown off by the bomb, ran out the front door and fired a gun. The bullet flew right between my eyes. But despite my perfect aim, the shadow beneath my feet rose into the air and blocked the bullet.
The face of the guard who fired the gun turned pale, but I was fascinated by the new use of shadow control. I don’t know if I’ll be able to maintain this feeling even after 30 minutes, but the idea of how to use shadow domination was naturally springing up in my head.
I spread my hands in the form of a hojo and waved them. The shadow of my hand rose and struck the one-armed guard shooting at me with four claws. Of course, each claw mark was so devastating that it cut through the bones and even the internal organs, so the guard fell down bleeding on the spot.
I walked slowly and entered the building. There was no need to waste time. The purpose of wasting time was to prevent the guards from joining the lab and interfering with the infiltration and rescue operation.
It would be quicker if I just killed them all.
When I opened the front door, I saw about seven security guards standing there hesitantly. I lifted my chin. As I lifted my chin, skewers popped out from the shadows of the guards and skewered all seven of them.
“How many people are left in the building?”
I asked the security guard at the front. The guard bravely screamed at me even while he was skewered.
“I will never tell you!”
That’s great mental strength. It seems like he was prepared to die, so I guess I should just give him death. The shadow skewer grew as large as it did and cut the guard in half. A corpse, split in two, fell to the ground with a crash.
“If you tell me alone, I will save the lives of everyone here.”
When I say this with a smile, everyone raises their voices and answers. If we sum up what each person is shouting, it is said that many people died because of the bomb that suddenly came through the window, and excluding the people gathered here, there are five.
“Okay, I’ll save you.”
“W-what! They said they would save me! I will curse you! “I will curse you!”
“Kwaaah! “I don’t want to die!”
“Help me! Help me!”
I just memorized the spell. It was a tribute to the Daughter of the Abyss. Wouldn’t it be nice to sacrifice a living person? A black hole formed underneath the skewered person and he began to gradually sink. Everyone screamed and cursed me. However, the guard’s malice could not overcome my abyss and dispersed.
The first floor lobby, which had been filled with evil and curses, now contained only a corpse cut in half.
“You said there are now 5 people left, right?”
I muttered to myself and started searching the building.
