Chapter 180 – Chapter 180
A siren is heard in the distance.
A fire engine that must have been dispatched because of the sound of the explosion.
I don’t know if it’s because an alarm is sounding loudly throughout the laboratory, or if someone has reported it, but it seems that a police car is also on the way.
Seeing that the fuss of the researchers who were supposed to be staying on the premises was not heard, did they already run away?
Earlier, I had no time to worry about that because I was dealing with transcendentalists.
The old man asked me
“What are you going to do with the corpses?”
“We’ve got to get rid of it. There are people who know we’ve been here. The Clean Goblin staff, the guards at the entrance… They’ve probably been caught on surveillance cameras, too.”
“I see… Bar, should I throw it into the sea?”
“I’ll take care of that. First of all, go to the building where Mr. Park entered… No, I’ll go there too. Everyone, please search each building first.”
“Another building? Why?”
“There must be a waiting area for those who attacked us. I checked a while ago and none of them had phones. They probably left them in the waiting area. And when we find the security control room, we have to erase the recorded surveillance camera data. “Oh! No. We take it with us. We usually keep it for about three months, right? Maybe we can find out something about him.”
Having said that, everyone seemed to understand what I meant.
To find Baek Hwa-yeon, we have to dig deep into their power.
Contact or whoever you are, you need to find a link.
“However, don’t act alone. Senior, Eun-young, and Lee Sol-san move together, and the other four of you move together. It’s unlikely that the transcendent will appear again in a short period of time, but you should always be careful just in case something happens. If you find a waiting place, call me right away. I will move with you.”
Everyone nodded.
And immediately went into action.
I fixed my gaze on one of my distant colleagues.
Minwoo Chae.
I plan to entrust him with a very important mission in the future.
For that reason, I made up my mind to save it.
“Um… Chief… Do I have to clean this up…?”
“No. Don’t wait here. I’ll be right back.”
I first collected the corpses.
I could turn it into powder beyond recognition, but I don’t have the mind to do such a cruel thing.
Mana is also worth it.
So, they tied the bodies together to a rock that made the cement floor split.
With a plop!
I threw it with all my might.
In the dark sea far out of sight, the sound disappeared as if nothing had happened.
If that’s enough, it probably won’t be revealed even when the tide is out.
I feel complicated while being greeted by the humid wind blowing from the pitch-black dawn sea.
Cruelty was one thing or another, and those who were already dead had nothing to say.
“Hey… Are you okay…?”
Lee Dong-geul, who was watching me from the side.
He keeps this guy by his side even now because he must absolutely avoid being taken away by the enemy at all costs.
“They’re the ones who tried to kill us, so it’s their own business.”
“No… The manager…”
He turned her gaze and met her eyes with hers.
It is a face of genuine concern.
I smiled softly.
“It’s okay. There’s nothing to worry about. Now, let’s hurry up too.”
“Yes…”
I was full of desire to be comforted in the arms of Lee Dong-geul right now.
But I’m not a kid… I have a lot of work left to do.
If this thing works out well, then I can do it as much as I can.
Let’s be patient.
But really, the more I think about it, the more I get angry.
Is this all because of the bastard he is?
The company was also able to pretend to be the president while earning money quietly and petting the pretty employees in a stable situation.
There is no calm day after the appearance of these fucked cubs.
Just meet me, really.
I’m going to make a very powder like that guy and get rid of even traces.
Lee Dong-geul and I entered the old building where Yuri Park disappeared.
It’s old, but the scale itself can be said to be the largest in the laboratory.
“Team leader. You don’t have to find them separately, right?”
A bleak space like something out of a horror movie.
She seems scared, but no matter how much she is a healer, she is a transcendentalist.
If you want to, you can turn this entire building into powder.
However, I didn’t feel that I hated Lee Dong-geul’s weak appearance.
“Stay close to me and follow me. You don’t have to search for him, because you can get a rough idea of Park Yu-ri’s location.”
Why did I bother to return Park Yu-ri’s mana to A?
Of course, it was also to enable her to protect herself in case of her sudden situation, but her more fundamental purpose is to be easy to find when this kind of situation arises.
Of course, there is a limit to the distance at which mana can be sensed.
However, after entering this building, I was able to roughly grasp her location.
All of this was thanks to this Gilgamesh eyeball that was stuck in her eye.
“I’ll hurry up a bit.”
“Yes.”
I passed the stairs down to the basement along the dark hallway.
Because the elevator had stopped working.
I reached the 1st floor, but I still feel the magical power further down.
The place where Park Yu-ri was was probably on the second basement floor of the building.
A dented metal door is seen, which she presumes has been broken.
The place we arrived through the door is a large space that feels like a huge laboratory.
As it is a place with the title of National Monster Lab, I thought there would be any number of places like this inside the building.
But even so, it was appropriate to say that the scene unfolding before her eyes was a bit shocking.
“T-chief…”
“I don’t feel any magic…”
“Yes?”
“Nothing to worry about. I don’t think there are any living monsters.”
A face as if alive.
Glowing eyes and sharp claws.
Wide open jaws and hideous teeth that seemed to bite down on the whole bone.
A lively monster appears in front of you.
It is not one either.
“Did you stuffed a monster?”
“It’s like I’m alive…”
Dozens of stuffed monsters.
Some are in huge glass tubes.
The smell of formalin from the science lab as a child wafts in the air.
Back then, it was at most a frog.
Ah! The first time I saw a specimen containing a rabbit whose body was cut lengthwise so its intestines were visible, I remember being appalled and having nightmares for several days.
Now, when I see such a huge monster inside and he doesn’t blink an eye, have I become an adult?
It’s nothing else, but this terrible smell reminds me of the old days.
It’s just unpleasant.
I can see the back of a woman standing quietly, unsuitable for such a place.
Anyone can see that it must be Park Yu-ri.
She probably recalls a darker past than me.
I am very curious about what happened in her past.
“Park Yu-ri!”
“…”
Where she is standing, neither stuffed monsters nor glass tubes are visible.
Only a few sparsely placed medical beds catch my eye.
The images of the researchers taking the corpses of monsters from there and stuffing them one by one are naturally pictured in my head.
“Park Yu-ri. What are you doing there?”
Come to think of it, a few lights came in sparsely illuminating the surroundings.
A space as huge as the underground parking lot of a huge building.
Wasn’t this place completely closed?
Park Yu-ri, who had been quiet all along, finally opened her mouth while I observed my surroundings and questioned.
“Here…”
She blurted out
However, the rough predictions go.
She’s here to tell me that she’s going to lose her eye and get this monster eye transplant that’s now lodged in the palm of my left hand.
If not, how would you explain her behavior now?
But what worries me is her attitude, which she consistently shows.
She seems to have lost her memory and recalled it as soon as she arrived here.
And what she said earlier.
“President…”
What the hell does that old man have to do with it?
The question is not only that.
In the first place, is it possible to forcibly perform a surgery or an experiment against her transcendental person?
“Hey, Park Yuri. Are you okay? What the hell happened here?”
“… Eyes… My eyes…”
She seemed to be in agony as she recalled a past she did not want to remember.
I cautiously approached her.
“Are you okay?”
“He… He got me out of here…”
“Who… Is the president?”
“… Enough… Give me back my magic…”
After she finished her remarks, Park Yu-ri did not answer my question and began to stare at me with a disdainful expression.
He looks like he will search the whole country in search of the president at any moment.
“Before that, I want to ask you something. Those eyes. Have you used them before?”
“… What do you mean?”
“The monster that was hiding in that eyepatch.”
Currently, Yuri Park is wearing her eyepatch.
In her dungeon, she had her eyepatch on ever since her movement writing restored her.
Her monster eyeballs had disappeared cleanly, but she had picked up the eyepatch she had been wearing from the beginning and put it on to hide her ugly scar.
As if she was very surprised by my remark, her expression at me began to change dramatically.
“How did you do that… Ugh…”
Then she suddenly sat down and grabbed her head.
Does she even recall her forgotten memories?
It is similar to the way I get a headache whenever I think of the Cheonji-dong gate regurgitation incident.
“Are you okay?”
“… Yes. I remember. Then… You forcibly put on an eyepatch…!?”
Didn’t you remember too?
“Snow… Snow…”
Park Yu-ri suddenly started groping her own eyes.
Then she carefully undid her blindfold.
“This… I can’t… I can’t. I don’t have that monster… What happened to this?”
I sensed that the time had come.
Now is the time to tell the truth.
She’s watching us from behind the moving text, but I think she’ll probably be fine.
Even if it reveals a secret about my left hand.
“If it’s that monster, I pulled it out.”
“What!?”
“The one that was hidden under your eyepatch.”
Park Yu-ri, who had been groping for a long time in one of her eyes, which had an unsightly scar on her hand, suddenly sat down on the spot.
And as she bruised her for a while, she quietly moved her gaze towards me.
Her eyes met, and tears flowed incessantly from her one remaining eye.
“How…”
“It’s simple. Thank goodness anyway. I knew you’d hate it.”
“Really… Really, thank you…”
Park Yuri suddenly sobbed.
For the first time, I saw a woman in her 20s who, despite her pretty looks, was stiff like a soldier and had no humanity until she took off her clothes.
But then, what the hell happened here?
