Chapter 100 – #101 Battle for the Siren’s Heart (3)
#101 Siren’s Heart Battle (3)
Pot-!
“Kyaaaaah
When the vision suddenly became dark, the people who heard the song coming from the siren’s heart and regained their stability screamed.
Darkness stimulates people’s imagination. What if a ghost comes out of that darkness? What if a monster comes out and eats me?
It was the darkness that made me fantasize like a fantasy that never happened and didn’t have to happen.
Due to the sudden power outage, Badaguan was so dark that it was impossible to see, and people were in great confusion.
“What’s happening!”
“Help me!”
“Kyaaaaah
Caught in terror, people screamed as if the villains had invaded.
“Everyone! Calm down!”
“The Akradan Museum has an emergency generator! The generator will be running soon!”
Tough Guy and Samuel screamed to calm the people, but their voices were not heard by the panic-stricken people.
Only screams could be heard.
‘Chairman, you’re going to drink again…’
Attending this event as Han Ji-min, not as an ice queen, she sighed inwardly.
The people gathered here were not ordinary people. He was an executive leading the Dark City.
This happened where there were such people. People are terrified and screaming. There was no choice but to be dissatisfied with the Hero Association.
How many more complaints he would make after this incident… It was clear to see the head of the Valencia Association, who would frown and let out a sigh.
‘What’s going on anyway? Zener-sama went out, but there was a power outage…’
Embarrassed by her sudden blackout, she was too.
‘If you want to deal with the Genophider, the opponent must also be an S-class villain… Huh? S-class villain? Could it be the steel armor?’
There are a total of 17 S-class villains in Dark City, but among them, Han Ji-min recalled Steel Armor. What he had said a few days ago left a strong impression on her heart.
‘…’
The image of Steel Armor, who crossed her arms and told her to think over and over again, lingered in her mind. The others couldn’t see it because of the darkness, but her face was blushing.
‘My, what am I thinking?!’
Han Ji-min, who shook his head violently and erased the steel armor from his head, made up his mind.
‘It doesn’t matter who it is. I just need to defeat it and protect the citizens.’
The reason she is here now is because of the president of the Valencia Association.
No matter how much he was a director of Sanctuary, he was only an employee in the end. As long as she sent invitations to Chairman Bal Jee-woon’s family, she had no reason to send invitations to employees.
So, when he received the invitation from the Akradan Museum, director Han Seon-hyeok was delighted, but Han Ji-min smiled bitterly inwardly. Because he thought it was too much.
The head of the Valencia Association thought negatively about disclosing the Siren’s heart in front of people, but it was inevitable because internal public opinion tended to be open.
Clearly anticipating that her division would occur in some way, the president of her association secretly summoned her to make sure she was prepared for any contingency.
Of course, if you look at the troops guarding the museum, there is a low probability of a situation of concern, but the head of the Valencia Association thought of the just-in-case and took the ice queen as insurance.
In the Hero Association, the only people who knew that Ice Queen was Han Ji-min were the president of the Valencia Association and his secretary, Gumiho.
Han Ji-min calmly looked at the entrance in the dark to carry out the order of the association president.
“…”
And here was one more man who was keeping his composure.
‘When are you going to come out?’
It was a man in heat.
The second stage operation to generate a blackout using the genifier was successfully completed. Now it’s time to execute step 3, but he wasn’t the one who opened the door to step 3.
Chairman Bal Ji-woon, no, A-level villain [High Fog], Who must be looking for a gap somewhere, is the signal that announces the start of the 3rd stage operation.
‘I heard that the emergency generator is running, but that’s impossible?’
Not anyone else, but the lightning that Zenafiler did with all his might burned the line. Even if the emergency generator was turned on, there was no electricity.
‘Come out quickly.’
Iron-
He rolled his foot and waited for the high-fog to come out, confirming that the water had risen shallowly.
*****
Meanwhile, at that time, High Fog, who was waiting for the horned man, witnessed the fight between Steel Armor and Zenafiler on the roof of the museum from beginning to end.
‘S-class hero that easily…’
High Fog was astonished when Steel Armor dealt with the S-class hero, Zenafiler, so easily.
I already knew that steel armor was strong. Not all dogs or cows can become S-class villains. Only the chosen ones can reach the absolute realm.
So it was only natural that the S-class villain, Steel Armor, was strong. But he never imagined that he would be so strong.
The fight between the two human monsters started and ended with the superiority of the steel armor. Even though Zener Pyder threw the best attack he could, Steel Armor was unscathed.
‘That suit and mask, it’s not an ordinary thing.’
If it’s normal clothes, it’s normal to wear them. However, there was not a single spot on the plain-looking suit and mask.
‘Damn.’
High Fog bit his lip. He figured if he could distract the heroes inside the museum and fool their senses, he’d have a good chance.
But the biggest stumbling block was different.
Steel armor.
He, like himself, was aiming for the heart of the siren. He said that it was not so, and he had no reason to visit the Akradan Museum where the heroes were encamped.
‘But what are you doing?’
High Fog thought the steel armor would go straight into the museum. Contrary to his expectations, however, Steel Armor did not enter the museum, but stood in front of it with arms crossed.
‘What are you waiting for?’
Like a person waiting for someone, Steel Armor sometimes stood still while looking at his watch.
‘It can’t be helped.’
High Fog, who was contemplating whether to modify the operation or proceed as it was, eventually decided to proceed with the operation as it is.
Even now, inside the museum, his beloved wife was waiting for him. To respond from within when she moves.
She didn’t want to see her wife disappointed in her for not stealing the siren’s heart.
Even if he got caught in the hands of heroes, he wasn’t afraid. Although he would reveal his identity, he had the money to make the arrest itself a thing of the past.
‘Fog.’
As he used the skill, his figure gradually became hazy. Soon after, he became a mist and entered the museum through a window.
The windows were tightly closed, but they were no obstacle to the foggy High Fog.
A hazy mist moved along the corridor.
‘Hmm?’
“Ugh? What kind of fog is it?”
While moving down the hallway, High Fog encountered a female hero patrolling with a flashlight. In terms of location, it was right above the sea pavilion where the heart of the siren was displayed.
However, the hero did not notice the high fog. He knew this would happen and he moved into a foggy state.
“Who left the window open? That’s strange? I said they didn’t open the window?”
The hero tilted his head and walked along the path that High Fog had passed through the fog.
‘…’
After the hero left, the fog moved again. Now that the emergency power generator has been shut down, darkness was the best environment for High Fog to move.
*****
Shortly after the high fog disappeared, the female hero who had just passed through the fog returned again.
“Wow. They said that High Fog would appear, but he really did appear?
The female hero, Aqua Girl, who praised someone who was not here, put her hand on the wall. The water created by her psychic power ran down the wall.
*****
High Fog followed her vent into the sea coffin, tore off a piece of her mist and sent it to her wife.
‘I’m here.’
Flinch-!
Stephanie’s ears pricked at the sound of her husband’s voice in her ears. It was the moment when she and her husband would spend the night fighting and executing a woven strategy.
Stephanie spoke to her two children.
“Mom, I’ll go to the bathroom.”
“No, at a moment like this, she goes to the bathroom?”
“…”
Gina’s absurd eyes lit up at her mother’s words, and Jung-nam’s eyes lit up.
“Then come with me.”
“Huh? Oh, that’s…”
Her Gina said let’s go together, wondering if she couldn’t let her mother go alone, and Stephanie was taken aback. She couldn’t turn into [Hazel Foxy] If she came along.
It was her son who saved the bewildered Stephanie.
“Hey, is your mother a child? Why does she follow you to the bathroom? And there are heroes out there, what are you worried about?”
“But…”
“Yes. Don’t worry too much, Mom will be back soon.”
“… Then you have to come quickly, okay?”
“Okay. I’ll be back soon, so hold hands with my brother.”
“My, why am I holding hands with this kid!”
“Such a child… Mom, I’m so sad…”
“Oh gu oh gu, my son. Are you sad?”
“Ugh! I’m so sad, Jeongnam!”
“Wow! What are you doing? Do you want to search?”
At Jeongnam’s short tongue, Gina made a look that looked like she was about to vomit. Stephanie smiled at the bickering son and daughter and came out.
Entering her bathroom, she checked closely to see if anyone was inside, then took off her coat. Then, her curvaceous figure in a tight rider outfit appeared. She was in such a staggering body that it was hard to believe that she was 50 years old.
On her shoulders, elbows, hips, and knees, diamond-shaped silver machines were attached. When Stephanie tapped the ring on her index finger twice, a transparent liquid flowed out from the silver machines and covered her entire body.
“Fox mask.”
As she used her skill one last time, a mask with a fox’s face appeared on her face. At the same time, a luscious hair protruded from the area where her tailbone was.
“Cast invisibility.”
– Fulfills orders.
A mechanical sound based on a woman’s voice came from her earring. And Stephanie’s figure disappeared.
This equipment was secretly developed by the Sanctuary Company, where she serves as her vice-president, and it was a rare piece of equipment owned by only two people, Chairman Bal Ji-woon and Stephanie.
Stephanie, or Hazel Foxy, who had finished all preparations, headed for the ocean hall with light steps. When I encountered heroes with flashlights in the middle, I lightly hung on the ceiling and waited for them to pass by.
It became transparent, but there were still many awkward things. Heroes could feel awkward if they shined with a flashlight like now.
After escaping from the heroes and entering the coffin, she looked up at her ceiling and nodded her head.
High Fog, cued by her wife, finally sprung into action.
‘A veil of fog.’
When the skill was activated, the fog rapidly grew and swallowed the entire vessel.
“Huh?”
“This…”
“What is this!”
People who had been relying on cell phones and flashlights were perplexed when the fog settled.
“… Fog?”
And the tough guys and A-class heroes who were holding their seats hardened their faces from the sudden fog.
There are many psychics who use fog. However, there was only one person in the Dark City who could create enough fog to cover the entire expanse of space.
It was A-class Villain High Fog.
And his appearance meant that his partner, Hazel Foxy, was also in this space.
“High Fog!”
The tough guy gnashed his teeth.
No matter how much you look at the treasure, you can’t just pass it by, they say they are villains, but I didn’t know that they would aim for the heart of a siren.
It was common sense.
No matter how good they are, it was a suicidal act to come to a place teeming with heroes like this.
“Why did the Genifier show up when I’m outside! Wait, who’s the guy who showed up outside?”
A scenario popped into the tough guy’s head.
Couldn’t High Fog have hired the villain who is rioting outside?
High Fog and himself are not compatible.
If it was a physical battle, Tough Guy would win, but High Fog couldn’t hit the fog with his fog, fists.
However, it was different if it was a Zener.
The Genifier’s lightning was able to neutralize High Fog’s fog.
“You got it. But you took us too easily. High Fog! The Siren’s heart will never be handed over!”
The tough guy pressed close to the siren’s heart and called the A-class heroes through the communicator. But no one responded.
Fog hindered communications.
*****
Ssik-
A man in the fog smiled broadly.
“Should I move now?”
Phase 3 operation, the beginning.
