Episode 53. Starry Night (5)
“done.”
“Are you okay, Uncle?”
As I was about to get up, I stumbled for a moment, and Nayeon Eom came over and helped me.
“Whoa. Whoa… … . I didn’t use much mental strength. It just puts a strain on your body and makes you dizzy.”
Laboratory location detection using sense control. The results have been extremely successful.
“So which direction was it?”
“Northwest, based on the direction I’m looking at.”
“It sounds like the third entrance.”
“Let’s go. We have to hurry as much as we have delayed.”
dump.
“Mom!”
I tried to walk again on my own somehow, but this time my legs gave out and I collapsed.
[Remaining Sanity: 92%]
“weird. I have enough mental strength… … .”
Wasn’t it enough to only care about mental strength?
“Mr. Kim Do-yoon. Isn’t it because you’ve been working too hard lately?”
Seol Chae-hwa asked in a worried voice.
“I’ve never really had a good rest except when I was in the hospital room.”
As I grabbed my forehead, Nayeon Eom came to my side again.
“Uncle, get on me. Now that you know the entrance, you can run straight there.”
“Focus on moving unnoticed rather than going fast. If you’re in too much of a hurry and get caught before you even get inside the lab, it’s all a joke.”
“Do not worry. I’ll use another drone to see if anyone gets close to you.”
Eom Na-yeon, carrying me, began to cross the site while listening to Seol Chae-hwa’s briefing.
the sound of cutting the wind. Nayeon Eom’s hair fluttering in the wind intermittently tickles my cheeks.
I was able to sit on her back more stably than before.
‘I didn’t really want to adapt to this… … .’
In the midst of feeling confused, the conversation between Eom Na-yeon and Seol Chae-hwa came and went.
“It’s Chaehwa. Have you ever been closest to here?”
“Around 20 meters southeast of the direction you are looking at. Five men and women in white coats are walking briskly. Fortunately, it’s in the opposite direction from the third entrance we’re going to.”
“good. Then can we keep going?”
“for a moment. those guys Looks like they’re trying to run away from here, so I’ll have to deal with it. ah! You asked if you could go on? wait. It’s still far away, but it’s 120m south. There’s a young man on his way near the entrance we’re going to?”
“What shall I do? Could it be that he is an employee trying to enter the laboratory? You have to sneak in, but it’s difficult if the traffic lines overlap.”
I was in a daze for a while, but I suddenly came to my senses from the conversation I heard.
“Let’s subdue that researcher.”
“why? Could it be because of the internal card key? Didn’t Seolchaehwa say that drone hacking solves that?”
The only card key Seol Chae-hwa found out through the investigation was the general area card key.
‘The room where the children are locked needs an AS key.’
AS key. What was called the ‘Artificial Satellite card key’ in the game. Seol Chae-hwa’s drone hacking does not work in the room that requires this card key.
There is only one acquisition path. Killing a researcher to obtain an AS key that drops with a very low probability.
‘The tricky part is that if you kill one researcher like that, the alert level in the lab goes up.’
As the alert level went up, the internal security became tighter and the number of patrol troops increased. Because of this, the outcome of the second episode would vary greatly depending on luck.
“I need to meet you. There might be information that only insiders know that Seol Chae-hwa couldn’t figure out.”
“But I can’t afford to interrogate… … . ah!”
I smiled condescendingly.
‘I had to keenly feel my helplessness while always comparing myself to Yuseong.’
I will show you that today is different. At least for this stage section, I was confident that I would be more efficient at work than Meteor.
“uncle. See it over there.”
“It’s heading exactly towards entrance number 3, where we are going.”
As I went further, I found the young man Seol Chae-hwa had mentioned. He seemed to be hopping while putting on his round rimless glasses.
“how will we do it? First of all, I’m going to go to the middle of the day, and I’m going to have a good time! Can I knock it out by hitting it?”
“You’ve seen too many dramas and movies. People don’t faint easily like that.”
I don’t know if it’s a fantasy-style principle of fainting by dipping blood like some kind of martial arts, but if you hit it wrong physically, you can kill it prematurely instead of fainting.
“okay. Then I just have to hurry up behind me and suppress it so I can’t move, right?”
“no. Just get in front of him and take him. I’ll take care of the rest.”
widely!
Eom Na-yeon jumps into the air with a big kick.
“Hick! what?”
The moment you land in front of such a young man. Startled by the sudden appearance, he flinched and stood still.
“Stop moving. Don’t think of doing anything stupid.”
[Activates ‘Emotion Implant’.]
As I exerted my nature toward him, he muttered in a terrified voice.
“I can’t believe the enemies who invaded the base earlier have already come this far… … !”
“Get down on your knees. Raise both hands above your head and interlock them behind the nape of your neck.”
The fear-ridden guy obediently followed my words.
“If you try to brush me off, nothing comes out! I’m a junior researcher!”
“Looks like a researcher. That’s enough.”
I went behind him and grabbed his face with both hands.
“What, what are you doing? What are you going to do?!”
“Let’s see. Shall we touch our researcher’s memory?”
[‘Memory Reading’ is activated.]
I didn’t feel any sense of resistance while activating the nature. It’s like being a completely innocent person. In this way, the ability works well and the consumption of mental power is significantly reduced.
“name. Seonhu Park. 20 years old this year. Lives in Chuncheon, Gangwon-do. After refusing admission to Signal, drinking at a club every day and hanging out with women, one day, a drinking friend introduced him to Septagram, and he joined the organization.”
“uh… . how to… … .”
[‘Demagog’ is activated.]
“Of course, I extorted almost 100 million won from my parents in the name of university activities and consumed it with a woman and alcohol. When I found out that the woman I met at a club and slept with was pregnant a few months later, I didn’t want to take responsibility, so I even murdered him?”
“Who are you, who are you! Who are you and do you know me so well!”
It seemed that shaking my mind this much would be enough. Even if the opponent is an ordinary person, carelessness is prohibited. If you’re going to do it, it’s better to be sure.
‘First of all, I confirmed that this guy doesn’t have an AS key. Normally, I’d just say ‘yeah’ and move on.’
I was able to extract additional information from here.
[In what format do you want to search for the memories you want to browse?]
[Search method is time, word, event, person. There are four types in total.]
This time with words and figures. I was thinking of using both.
The word is the AS key. The person is a researcher who had an AS key while working at the research institute.
‘You may not have it, but if you were active inside the lab, you would have met at least one researcher who had that card key.’
From nob le mt l. com
Just as expected. I was able to check the list of AS key holders from his memory.
Now, the next thing to find out is what happened recently in this laboratory. What actions did those who saw the potential of the satellite project through No.45 take afterward?
“Ugh! Aww!”
It was the moment I was just trying to find out about him.
“uncle. That person will die soon.”
“It’s a supernova virus.”
The reactions of Eom Na-yeon and Seol Chae-hwa were calm. They must have already encountered this phenomenon countless times.
I threw Park Seon-hoo, who was starting to have a seizure, on the floor.
‘In the case of adults, though, Halo activates and resists that virus.’
When that virus is activated, ordinary people have no choice but to melt their brains. It wasn’t just that. My nature couldn’t save him.
The principle of my cure for the Super Nova Virus is to protect an adult’s mind from being eroded when he becomes a Halo, while maintaining the phenomenon of runaway mana.
It could be said that this runaway mana becomes the immune system and breaks down the virus.
‘There’s nothing I can do for an ordinary person who doesn’t have that magical power.’
If I had to think of something I was forced to do, there was only one.
I went up to him and put my hand on his forehead.
and.
[Activates ‘Emotion Implant’.]
Park Seon-hu, who was having seizures with a painful face, suddenly became comfortable. At the same time, his body drooped and his head tilted to the side.
“You are dead.”
“okay.”
“uncle. What was that hand on your forehead?”
“Did you give me painkillers?”
“From what I heard earlier, he was a very bad guy. Didn’t you have to?”
“What’s wrong with your parents?”
I forgot to say that at the end.
“Hi-Hi. My uncle is also nice.”
Eom Na-yeon smiled bashfully and showed such an unfamiliar reaction.
I said while retrieving the employee ID that was hanging around Park Seon-hoo’s neck.
“It’s done. Put that guy away in the dark where you can’t see him. But when it’s daytime, go to a place where you can see it easily.”
“Old!”
While I was stabilizing my mana, which had been boiling for a while, Seol Chae-hwa’s drone sneaked up next to me.
“So, did you get the information you wanted?”
“uh. I couldn’t dig them all because of the Supernova virus, but I got the key information.”
「Key information? What is it?」
“Here’s information that can help get the children trapped underground.”
All that was left was to hope that I would run into the researchers with the faces I remembered in the basement of that lab.

coo coo
After confirming that her roommate was fast asleep, Pyo Yoo-rim quietly left the dormitory. I was going to fly through the window and head to the men’s dormitory like last time.
‘wait for a sec. Let’s check for a moment and then go back.’
I couldn’t consider the details of the ring because I was making it in a hurry. One of them was when Doyoon Kim took off the ring.
Even if the ring was removed from the finger, it should have been made so that the signal would not ring if it was at least several tens of meters away from the ring range. I could have taken off my ring for a while to wash up, for example.
‘If you take off your ring while you’re washing… … . Shall we sneak in and quickly readjust and go back?’
Imagination unfolds in Pyo Yu-rim’s head. It was the sight of meeting Kim Do-yoon, who sneaked into the room, touched the ring, and came out after washing.
Klopp.
She involuntarily swallowed dry saliva.
‘no. Entering a room without permission is a crime in the first place… … .’
Then, is it not a crime to secretly peep at the situation through the window? I wondered if Pyo Yu-rim’s expression, thinking that far, became depressed in an instant.
“ah!”
Soon, as if something had come to mind, his face lit up again.
If secretly watching is a problem, just go in and say you have business. I heard that there is a function that I forgot to include in the ring.
Isn’t that a perfect plan? Pyo Yoo-rim snorted triumphantly and finally reached the window of Kim Do-yoon’s dormitory.
Because the curtains were drawn, it was impossible to look inside. The fire was off.
It was possible to project the inside with the power of nature, but Pyo Yu-rim shook his head.
‘Then, what if I find out that I’m enjoying a private life that shouldn’t be seen by others?’
Coincidentally, it was also a dark time now. On the outside, Kim Do-yoon may be polite, but in the end, he will not be able to escape the fate of being a man.
In fact, the other day, when I was hugging his arm, I was extremely conscious that his chest was touching. He still vividly recalled how he had been in trouble, saying that he was a man and that there was nothing he could do about it.
‘a little bit. Do you really want to sneak a peek?’
At least, I want to check what kind of taste it is. At such an irresistible urge, Pyo Yu-rim stomped his feet.
It is because of this that people reach out to crime. At that time, when he was trying to think about whether to come to an agreement with his desire little by little while gaining that realization.
“Black. Whoa… .”
Crying was heard.
It was a girl’s voice.
‘Why is there a girl’s voice in the men’s dormitory… ? That’s also in Mr. Kim Doyoon’s room… … .’
From nob le mt l. com
Jiing.
I didn’t even have time to think. Pyo Yu-rim checked the room with the power of nature, afraid to hear the child’s cry.
There, at most, a five-year-old girl was sitting on the bed. He was holding his pillow tightly in his arms and sobbing silently, shedding tears like chicken droppings.
‘kidnap?!’
Pyo Yu-rim widened his eyes.
The sight was so shocking that she froze in the air for a while with her mouth open in a daze.
From nob le mt l. com
Just as men are prohibited from entering the women’s dormitory, women are also prohibited from entering the men’s dormitory.
and in the first place.
‘Weren’t outsiders prohibited from entering the dormitory, regardless of gender?’
The only place they can enter is the entrance on the first floor. If there was someone to meet inside the dormitory, it was only possible to meet them by calling them through security.
In other words, the existence of such a child in the dormitory violated the signal school rules. Normally, he would be stopped, but Pyo Yoo-rim remembered what kind of ability Kim Do-yoon had.
‘You must have easily neutralized the security guards and the dormitory. And, and then, by sneaking a child like that into the room… … . no way?’
The ugly rumors about Kim Do-yoon and the current situation overlap.
And one conclusion to be drawn.
“… … .”
Was it like that
It was a wild forest, which I considered irrelevant to the rumors, but this case was different. Because she realized the shocking nature of the man she liked.
If it were other women, they might have felt a deep disgust for the other person and tried to report it from 112.
Pyo Yu-rim also panicked at the shock that exceeded her limit, but the direction was different from that of other women.
‘Let’s stay calm. You have to stay calm. First of all, let’s take that child to the house where he originally lived. You can return it safely now and negotiate with the child’s parents in return for a quiet end. And after Mr. Kim Do-yoon comes back, after admonishing him that it is not good to relieve his desire in this way… … . Then, in order to prevent this from happening, I, I just have to satisfy it instead. Then there is no way that Mr. Kim Do-yoon will become a criminal… If it is the power of my nature, I will surely satisfy my taste… … !’
The moment when her hands were shaking, her eyes gradually lost their vitality.
“sister.”
“uh?”
After taking a quick look, through the window that was suddenly open, I saw the child who had been crying earlier.
Since when did you start detecting people? Even if he was talking loudly here and there inside, he certainly wouldn’t have raised his voice.
Among them.
The child asked, creating a fireball in front of his outstretched palm.
“Are you my enemy?”
What a supportive girl. But sadly she is a yandere
