Chapter 175 – Chapter 175
National Monster Lab.
It is a gathering place of Korean brains.
His main job is to test various items obtained from inside the dungeon to see if they are useful.
The items include items the monsters possessed, claws and teeth, and even bones and leather.
I heard that some of these researches are conducted at private research institutes, but the one with the most know-how is probably the one that is operated with tax money.
The first thing to check is whether or not it can be used as a weapon in the military, so that’s all I said.
However, even if you listen to the contents floating around the Internet, it does not really touch you.
It’s just mana-coated suits and various equipment that are like lifelines for us awakeners.
The place where it is produced is Kukmonyeon, and that image is deeply embedded in the mind.
When I think of the unimaginable rental cost of these equipments, can I say that my impression so far has been that I have complained, ‘I’m going to spend a lot of money, you fucking bastards’?
A large truck driven by an employee of Clean Goblin runs along the coast of Incheon, overlooking the West Sea.
I wonder if there is a special reason why the Kukmon Yeon and the Awakened Academy were built side by side in the sea in front of Incheon.
“Jeonghyuk, what are you going to do now?”
“First of all, as soon as we arrive at the research center, we have to check the trucks that are on business trips there.
“What about the goblin corpses in that car?”
“I don’t know, neither do I. I’m full of doubts. It might not be a goblin, but a high-level monster that looks similar, so I’ll have to listen to what the lab staff have to say. Mr. Hong Eun-young. Can you contact me?”
“Not yet. It’s early morning, so there’s no answer.”
Hong Eun-young, who was an instructor at the academy.
Among her connections, she says, she is a researcher at the Institute.
I was going to get some help… Is it too much at this time of day?
“Park Yu-ri. Do you know anyone in the lab?”
Park Yu-ri, who was sitting in the back seat of her, asked.
If it’s a jjambab like hers, I think there must be acquaintances on this side.
“Doesn’t exist.”
“… You see.”
Well, considering that girl’s personality, I don’t think she has any friends, let alone acquaintances.
I think so, and I try to ignore it properly, but Park Yu-ri, who has been quiet, speaks first.
“When are you planning to return my magical power?”
“If it were you, would you say yes and return it? What is the condition of my house, which was only a month old, because of you?”
“… It was an accident. I had no choice in that situation. So you must have kept me alive too.”
I forcibly twisted her head and made eye contact with Yuri Park, who was sitting right behind me, and answered.
I was a little annoyed.
“Apologizing… Isn’t it first? You made someone else’s house look like that… No, didn’t you say thank you before that? It’s already been a long time since my friends and I went all the way to that dark and humid dungeon to save you. What shape?”
“… What happened to the people who were with me?”
“The raiders? They went home safely. You’re asking me quickly.”
“… I’ll postpone setting up an example until I’ve seen it with my own eyes.”
“…”
This ignorant bitch is just…
Huh… Bear with it.
From Yuri Park’s point of view, she lost her mind while having sex with me, and when she woke up, she must have been dragged away by suspicious people.
It was me who took off her blindfold in the first place.
A person like me is really patient, thinks in the shoes of others, and is kind.
“More than that, it’s magic. Without magic, I can’t cooperate with you. At the current level, I can’t even use the lightning sword, and if I get attacked by a transcendent, I’ll die without doing anything. What do you want from me? Can I give it to you?”
“This, this crazy bitch…”
At the end of Park Yuri’s remarks, the car stumbled and shook greatly.
But I couldn’t yell at Hong Eun-young to drive properly.
Because all the women in the same car are staring at me.
That crazy bitch is exposing our memories like this.
I should have killed her when I made her house look like that too… Fuck.
“Hmm… I don’t know what you’re talking about. It was just some kind of indispensable step I took to activate my abilities.”
“You’re funny…”
“Haa… Pervert bastard…”
Excuses don’t work for the women here, probably because they’ve already been treated the same way by me.
I can’t find where to look and I’m perplexed,
“Isn’t it enough for sex? It’s not the first time now, so it means the value has decreased? What’s good. Claim the restoration cost for the house that was destroyed because of me. I have that much money.”
“Oh, okay? Could you please…”
Shut up and stay.
Is this the time?
Wanting to get out of the situation quickly, I hurriedly changed the subject.
“I plan to return your magical power sooner or later. You should know enough by now that even if you get your magical power back, you will not be my opponent. I hope you don’t hold on to my ankles.”
“Who’s holding on to whose ankle?”
“Who is it? It’s you.”
“… You’re the one holding me back. If it wasn’t for you, I’d already have him back.”
“…”
Let’s say so.
I had a lot to say, but I didn’t say more.
Dealing with a crazy bitch takes a lot of energy.
More than anything, it seems that we are slowly reaching our destination.
The truck stopped at the lab’s entrance.
Since the place is a place, it seemed that they had to get permission to enter.
Of course, there was no permission in this dark dawn, and in the end I had no choice but to go out.
But this time it didn’t work at all.
“Ah, no matter how transcendental, you are not permitted to enter this place.”
I was trembling because I heard something from someone, but he seldom gave permission.
Should I say that he is good at his job, or that he is good at risking his life for his job?
Normally, I would like to praise him, but now my feelings are a little different.
What to say…
Should I be more suspicious?
A vague suspicion that this guy and that guy were all related to the enemy.
“Do, dodo… Please go back… Right now, the researchers are not even at work… In the dormitory…”
“I’ll just say one word. I’m going in. So please open the door quietly. If you don’t want a state-owned building to be destroyed.”
Clinging…
Clean Goblin’s truck collapses with a loud scream.
It’s just a little to look at, but it won’t have anything to do with the life of the vehicle.
I couldn’t help it because I thought the security would open the door only if I did this level of directing.
And it worked better than expected.
The frightened man eventually let us through.
***
“Are you sure about the number?”
“That’s right. It’s true that three of them came here on a business trip.”
“Hmm… But I need to check first. Open the door.”
I ordered the Clean Goblin employee in charge of driving the truck to check each of the three cars parked in the research center parking lot.
But inside it was empty.
“Ah, nothing. Transcendental Master.”
“I have eyes too.”
“I’m sorry. So, what should I do now… The lab staff didn’t even go to work…”
“Wait a minute. But why are these cars on a business trip here? It only takes 30 minutes from your company to here, so you can move at that time, right?”
“That, that’s because our vehicles are equipped with a quick freezing function… It’s convenient to use if there are corpses that need to be disposed of from time to time…”
“But aren’t all the seats empty now?”
“That, that’s… Depending on the situation…”
The man is still trembling in front of me.
Cold sweat runs down his face like rain.
“Aren’t you… Actually hiding something?”
“That, it can’t be. How dare you stand in front of the Transcendental One…”
“So, the other four that aren’t here are at the academy? Are you sure?”
“No, of course.”
I don’t think we can find any clues to Baek Hwa-yeon here.
All that remains is four trucks that are on a business trip to the academy.
Should I head off to the academy right away to check them out?
Then what about that goblin’s corpse?
I stood in place for a while and struggled.
Various opinions came from colleagues, and opinions converged that Baek Hwa-yeon should be given priority.
As for the goblins, I agree with you that it’s okay to call and check later.
Baek Hwa-yeon is in a hurry, of course.
It’s just a situation where there is no one I can trust in the lab.
Can I trust their advice?
The attitude of that Clean Goblin staff is also rather unpleasant…
I couldn’t bring myself to say that I was leaving for the academy.
I don’t know since when, but there are times when I feel uncomfortable that I can’t explain in words.
It’s the so-called intuition…
In the dungeon, Na Hyun-hee felt an unknown sense of incongruity… And today it became a reality.
What?
What the hell is holding me back?
That man pouring out a cold sweat in front of me?
An empty truck?
Or the corpses of the goblins you brought along?
It was then.
There was an unexpected person who solved my hesitation.
It is none other than Park Yu-ri.
“Where is that crazy bitch going now? Hey! Park Yu-ri!”
I told you not to leave my side recklessly.
Park Yu-ri suddenly started running somewhere.
I was in the dark parking lot of the research institute, and I was taken aback by her sudden action and couldn’t catch her quickly.
She ran faster than she thought because she had returned her mana to level A once.
“Haa… Fuck really. Everyone, please follow me. And you, Mr. There, wait in the truck. If you run away, I won’t let you go.”
Except for the clean goblin staff, who were the only non-awakened members of our party, the rest of us belatedly moved towards the direction Park Yu-ri ran.
The reason why I didn’t rush to pursue it.
That’s because she headed to one of the lab’s many buildings.
I don’t know why, but it’s clear that there’s something secret about this lab.
Soon after, a tinkling sound was heard, and at some point, an alarm suddenly started ringing throughout the laboratory.
It seems that he destroyed the entrance to the building and entered it proudly.
Fuck you, troublesome bitch.
It’s not comparable to the academy, but it’s the National Monster Research Institute, which boasts an enormous site size.
There were dozens of buildings alone.
However, it was not that difficult to find the building Park Yu-ri was heading for.
It’s because he acted so wildly.
“What is it? Why is this building…”
“It looks like the access restriction tape was put on it? Park Yu-ri just forcibly entered it and it seems to have been ripped off.”
A building that looks unusually old even in the dark.
If you look at the year the institute was founded, this building shouldn’t be much different from the other buildings, but it was strangely shabby.
In addition, it was unusual to block the entrance to prevent access itself.
Well, all of that was just completely destroyed.
I broke down the entrance and went inside and found Park Yu-ri standing there blankly.
I approached her by myself, leaving her co-workers outside to prevent her from getting into an accident.
“What are you doing? Do you want to die?”
“Here… This is…”
“What the hell is this place? I heard you’re here for the first time?”
“No. It’s clear here…”
“Ah, so what is this place? You crazy woman.”
Came closer
I’m the one who can deal with Park Yu-ri, whose mana has been lowered to A grade, with just one finger.
There is nothing to be afraid of.
Huh?
However, I witnessed a rather embarrassing scene.
Isn’t liquid dripping from Yu-ri Park’s cheeks, which seemed to have no emotion of sadness, let alone tears, due to her personality?
“Here… The place that took my eye…”
“Yes?”
“And… The place where I met him…”
That person?
Who are you talking about?
Until now, the word that came out of Park Yu-ri’s mouth pointed to only one person.
President.
No, more important than that is her earlier remark.
I lost one eye here.
That means it was fine…
What has been occupying the lost place until now is none other than…
“Who are you! What kind of people are you!”
Then, suddenly, a loud voice came from outside.
