Chapter 183 – Chapter 183
After leaving the institute, we headed straight to the academy.
The staff of Clean Goblin, who was scared in the parking lot of the research center by the alarm sounds and explosions coming from all sides, fortunately did not run away, and now they are acting together with us.
“Master… Will Minwoo be able to do well?”
It seems that Chae-eun is still worried about the younger brother she left behind.
It’s natural since it’s her family, but she can’t think of the comfort she deserves to give her now.
You may do well, or you may not have any results.
You might be caught as a spy and killed by them.
Since I was just using a card that didn’t matter if I discarded it at any time, I didn’t care about his life or death, so I didn’t have the heart to offer pretentious comfort to Chae-eun.
“He’s been through life and death twice, so he won’t be caught easily. I might be resentful, but right now I’m in a situation where I have to use all the cards in my hand.”
“I know…”
“Your job now is to wait for a call from him. You never know who might be watching from where, so don’t show off.”
“Yes…”
In order for Chae Min-woo to be able to make excuses whenever he is caught spying, the only person who communicates with him is limited to Chae-eun.
I’m not going to say anything about contacting my older sister.
In the first place, it is not to grasp the enemy’s every move, nor is it to secretly steal secret documents.
Most likely, misfortune won’t happen.
I only asked him for one thing.
It’s only information related to Baek Hwa-yeon’s whereabouts.
The things that happened today will soon flow into their ears, and when they learn that the people who came to my house and the people who watched the research center are all dead, their vigilance will not be the same as before.
So, I plan to be careful.
“By the way, Jung Hyuk. What was the reason they were guarding the laboratory?”
“Looks like they were doing some strange experiment.”
“Experiment?”
In an instant, Park Yu-ri’s eyes met.
His expression is not good, perhaps because he is uncomfortable telling more people about his past.
She reluctantly left out the part about her past history and started talking about what we saw.
“There’s that suspicious building you saw earlier. An old building.”
“Huh.”
“There, the third basement floor is a bit suspicious.”
The time when I was trying to get out of the building with Park Yu-ri.
A strange sound that could not be passed without checking was heard from the basement.
Lights come on in the basement of a building that is presumed to be closed, as well as a suspicious noise echoing from below.
“What was there?”
“It’s nothing special, it’s like a laboratory. It smells like medicine… I think they secretly did some weird experiments there. I don’t know what they’re trying to protect by having ten transcendentalists stationed there.”
“Is that all? I heard there was a sound.”
“It was the sound of a freezer. It was quite big, but it seemed like it would freeze in an instant after being in it for a few minutes. The test subject… Probably a monster. I think it was used to store it.”
Right after hearing Park Yuri’s story, the thought that her test subject might be a human suddenly crossed her mind.
But you don’t have to take it out of your mouth now.
“What was in it?”
“Yes. It was empty. I searched every nook and cranny except for the inside of the freezer. The computers and anything else that might be a clue seemed to have been cleaned out, as if they knew we were coming. I think it was the same truck I saw at the Clean Goblin HQ. I think it might have something to do with the contents of
“A goblin?”
“Yes. Probably not just a goblin.”
The reason why we are heading to the academy as our next destination.
One is to figure out if Clean Goblin’s freezer truck is in place or not.
The other is for the purpose of observing goblins used for practical classes.
The cultured goblins used by the academy are produced in the research institute where we were a while ago.
A goblin, one of the regular monsters in F-class dungeons.
They are monsters with tremendous fertility that are incomparable to humans. I don’t know if that’s why, but mankind succeeded in cloning them using the power of science.
As long as there is enough food, it takes less than three months to grow into an adult.
However, since they were born eccentric monsters, no matter how much I tried to educate them, it was useless, and it was impossible to use them as a substitute for human labor.
The only useful training partner for beginner Awakeners.
Rather than being in a dangerous dungeon, they practiced combat in a thoroughly prepared state, and they were perfect for them.
“If their test subjects are goblins, it makes sense why they set up a laboratory in the basement of the laboratory. The best place to get goblins for experiments is the laboratory.
“Then shouldn’t we catch them and ask them?”
“I want to catch them all right away and ask them questions, but I can’t pinpoint who is involved. It’s impossible to catch and interrogate all of the hundreds of researchers, and even if I were lucky enough to find them, they would be meticulous. Higher.”
While we were talking, we arrived at the academy before we knew it.
It was late in the morning, and since it was the summer vacation season, the huge academy was surrounded by silence.
“There are several places to park, so how do you find a truck? There are only a few buildings with underground parking.”
“Because of the height of the refrigerated container, some underground parking lots will be inaccessible. Then the range will be narrowed down quite a bit. And no matter how F-ranked, they wouldn’t have parked a truck to carry a monster or its corpse anywhere. The research center earlier was strange. To openly park it in the middle of a parking lot. Well, it was empty inside.”
An employee of Clean Goblin is urgently answering the phone.
It is trying to contact the drivers who drove the truck to find out where it is parked.
It’s early in the morning, so it’s hard to connect.
Did I scare you too much?
“Hey, I say over there, Transcendentalist. On the first floor of that building, there is a car-only space that allows trucks to enter and exit, and it is said to be parked there.”
As expected, the place he pointed out was a training ground where actual combat training was conducted.
Since it is a large building in the form of a sports stadium, there are several places where trucks can enter.
When the place is narrow, what you find is to lie down and eat rice cakes.
There are a few Awoken now, and it’s literally a matter of seconds to rummage through a building like this.
“Who did you find?”
“I didn’t see it. I checked all the places where the truck could be parked… But there’s no way that big truck could be on the second or third floor.”
“I couldn’t find it either.”
The truck was nowhere to be seen.
In fact, she was feeling it from the moment she entered the academy.
I wonder if there was a demand for goblins during the vacation season…
I didn’t know if there was a possibility that an enthusiastic student would train even during vacation, so I kept quiet, but it wasn’t either.
“Are you sure you parked here?”
“Mu, of course. Why would I tell a lie that I would be exposed to soon?”
“Call back quickly and ask. Since when did you park here? You can sell my name. If you lie, say I’ll kill you.”
The Clean Goblin staff urgently called with a much paler expression than before.
Cold sweat runs down your face.
“This is correct. If you don’t believe me, check out the video from the surveillance cameras at the academy…”
“Haa… How many times a day…”
Annoyance welled up, but there was no way.
We ended up having to check the video again.
And…
Strangely, this time the video from the surveillance camera was intact.
Didn’t you think that it would raise suspicion as it is a truck that always comes and goes to the academy?
The person who parked the truck was different from the person who drove it out again.
The latter are probably the ones I think of.
Finally caught the tail
“But how do you know where they are now?”
“Is there anything special? We should mobilize public power.”
I immediately called Tsinghua University and said.
Find the truck at all costs.
And I’m sorry, but Clean Goblin is on forced closure for the time being until we find them.
The trucks parked at the company and the research center are going to threaten to stay still.

“Still no contact?”
Hong Eun-young, who had just finished taking a shower, approached her with wet hair.
“Not yet.”
“Shouldn’t you be resting? You couldn’t sleep at all.”
“I am resting.”
Got a hotel
It would be dangerous to share a room, so we decided to use it together.
It’s the best room with two bathrooms, but there are a lot of people washing in order.
I decided to wash last.
“No matter how much public power is used, it will take time. It won’t take long because it’s a conspicuous truck, but the sun has barely risen…”
“You can go and rest. Don’t talk loudly.”
“I’m worried about you… Oh, okay! And this place is non-smoking!”
“Whoa…”
It seems a little sensitive.
Not only did I not sleep, I was worried about how things would go in the future.
I sent Chae Min-woo as a spy, but I don’t expect much.
I can’t come up with a way to secure Baek Hwa-yeon and catch the tail of the youngster.
I have become stronger, and I have the confidence that I will not lose under any circumstances.
However, in terms of information power, it is clearly being pushed back.
They know my location and have my information, while I don’t know their size or what kind of guy he is, let alone their location.
Be careful.
If you’re not careful, someone will get hurt or die.
Even if you make a mistake.
It seems that my nerves are burning like cigarettes are burning.
Woo woo woo. Woo woo woo.
It was when both cigarettes burned out.
The phone on the table started to vibrate noisily.
A phone call came in.
“Yes.”
I was answering a phone call, but this time Kim Isol approached me.
She, too, had wet hair and was wearing a white gown.
I wouldn’t wear anything under it.
“Smells of cigarettes… But what was the call?”
“Ha…”
At such a fantastic moment when beautiful women with perfect faces and bodies smell like soap.
Fuck dogs.
She let out a sigh. Seeing me with a bad expression, she closed her mouth.
She put her words together before misunderstanding.
“Truck… I found it.”
