Episode 62. Star counting night (14)
oh oh oh
The moment I heard the sound of the air vibrating. Seol Chae-hwa fired the flare gun she had prepared into the sky without hesitation.
There was a risk of being pinned down by the research team, but there was no reason to worry. It’s because if there’s one reinforcement coming right now, everything will be solved.
“Come on.”
widely!
Eventually, the stray forest lands in the form of a teleport from the sky. Scared to come down to the ground, she looked around.
“Who is Kim Do-yoon?”
“Can you see the school site in front of me? There’s a septagram’s secret laboratory down there.”
Pyo Yu-rim looked at Seolchae-hwa with an expression wondering if he had heard something wrong.
“A septagram?”
“Yurim.”
“Seolchaehwa. Do you remember when Kim Do-yoon was attacked by a septagram? Did you entrust such a dangerous request knowing that?”
At the time of the Neverland incident.
Pyo Yoo-rim could only remember the appearances of the others except for Kim Do-yoon as pure white mannequins. I only found out that there was Seolchaehwa at the scene through the tablet that recorded the past.
“There weren’t that many people to ask for this request in my current situation. Because Kim Do-yoon was someone I could trust.”
Seol Chae-hwa also knew that Do-yoon Kim was attacked by the Septagram executive Glenn once more after the Neverland incident.
Because he knew that, he knew that this request would be even more dangerous, but on the other hand, it seemed that Kim Do-yoon would be more willing to accept this request because he had gone through such things.
Even if she was criticized, Seol Chae-hwa decided to endure it. Because he was a businessman to the bone.
“Don’t tell Mr. Kim Do-yoon in advance that I’m here. Then I will bury everything I wanted to ask you in my heart.”
“Yes.”
“I said it was under that laboratory. What was your purpose?”
“The purpose is to save the children who were used as test subjects for the lab occupation and their research.”
Pyoyurim gave a small sigh.
“It was because of the children. no wonder.”
“So what are you going to do now? Are you going to meet Kim Do-yoon right away?”
At Seol Chae-hwa’s question, Pyo Yu-rim lowered her gaze. In the awkward silence, Seol Chae-hwa loosened her collar, which had become cramped for no reason, watching her notice.
“Seolchaehwa. What about reinforcements? I won’t ask who you are, so tell me how far you’ve come!”
From nob le mt l. com
Just at the right time, a radio call came from Kim Do-yoon.
“… … !”
Maybe it was because the surroundings were quiet even though it was an in-ear radio. Pyo Yu-rim looked at Seol-chae-hwa with slightly lively eyes.
Seol Chae-hwa also glanced at her and answered in a calm voice.
“… … Senior Kang Ah-ram started first. They’re probably on their way back to that hidden exterior wall route to get in as safely as possible.”
“Then what about the other reinforcements?”
“wait a minute. I will contact you again.”
Seol Chae-hwa, who turned the microphone back to the mute function, relayed the current situation of Kim Do-yoon to Pyo Yu-rim.
It was a story that there are four children in the north, south, east, west, and west of the laboratory basement, and they are currently in a halo state and must be saved.
“That’s why you felt a weak wave of magic power from there.”
“The basement must be quite deep, did you feel it?”
How the hell would you be sensitive to mana to be able to detect it?
“Then I’ll go find them.”
“Now, hold on!”
The moment Pyo Yu-rim tried to turn around, Seol Chae-hwa barely opened her mouth even though she knew it was a shameless request.
“Enemy troops are coming here from the other lab right now. Because I fired a flare gun earlier… … . Could you take care of it on the way? Please.”
Pyo Yu-rim immediately frowned. In response, Seol Chae-hwa felt cold sweat running down her spine.
“good. I’ll listen to you because you can take care of it on the way.”
A surprisingly positive answer came back.
“thank you.”
“Of course it’s not free.”
“Oh, of course! Is there anything you want?”
“My ransom is high. You know. Calculate the hourly wage as soon as I start from here.”
Of all the types of talent a person can hire, adults are by far the highest paid. Among them, an astronomical amount is required to move a superstar adult called a star among stars.
“Oh that… … .”
Before she could say anything, Seol Chae-hwa had to stare again in vain at the back of Pyoyu-rim, who had just left.
Now, what was the most recent contract amount Pyo Yoo-rim had exchanged while doing adult activities?
‘Recently, I bought 3 hours of free time at Qinglian, a Chinese company… . I signed a contract with an hourly wage of about 50 million won, so if you look at the classification, it’s roughly 830,000 won. Converting this into a beginner level… … .’
From this moment on, about 13,800 won per second will be withdrawn from her account.
After this job is over, if I can somehow settle down in Chilsung again, I’ll have to work hard to earn money first.
“Black.”
Seol Chae-hwa had to endure the urge to shed tears as she thought about it.
***
Leaving behind the snowflakes.
As promised, Pyo Yu-rim dealt with all the searchers approaching her with a single gesture.
‘I feel it more clearly as I get closer.’
While flying in the sky over the laboratory site, I was thinking about which way to enter. Pyo Yu-rim realized that the four energies he felt at first were fading one by one.
Doyoon Kim is active below me. Just like the day you saved yourself. Just like back in Neverland. Come to think of it, he was originally like this. A heroic man who prioritized others over his own comfort.
Although he was very upset that he didn’t call him because he didn’t trust him, remembering that he was worried about himself brought a smile on his lips that he couldn’t hide.
‘no. Do not laugh. If I showed that kind of appearance in front of Mr. Kim Do-yoon, I would be treated like a child again.’
The pyoyurim also vaguely felt it. Kim Do-yun does not see himself as a love object.
At first, I wondered if it was simply because his appearance didn’t suit his taste. However, when he made s*xual appeal, he was always shy or pretended not to be interested.
The fact that he reacted like that was proof that he was conscious of himself as a woman, but when he had a normal conversation, he couldn’t help but feel like he was trying to tease and comfort himself.
It’s like treating a baby that needs to be taken care of. Kim Do-yoon faced herself with a gaze as if she were looking at a baby left on the water’s edge.
Pyo Yu-rim is very fond of him.
‘… … I don’t particularly hate it, but it’s not good either.’
It was just sad.
Although he was really happy to pay attention to himself. The fact that the level of happiness did not subtly fill her satisfaction made her heart ache.
How can I not go one step further from here? Should I just tell him that I like him in front of him?
‘I can’t do that now.’
She instinctively felt it.
If he tries to cross that important line without any preparation, Kim Do-yoon will be more cautious in his attitude toward himself than he is now.
Being more cautious meant that you would be more distant from yourself than you are now. Regardless of whether the confession was successful or not, Pyo Yu-rim thought that the current status quo would be better than that.
‘That spirit over there. It looks dangerous as if it will explode at any moment.’
As a result of hesitating on which side to enter inside the laboratory, Pyo Yu-rim decided to go to the aura that seemed to be in the most dangerous state.
Drooling!
You can’t teleport to the first place you go, so you have no choice but to break through.
Pyoyu-rim spread annihilation magic in front of her palm and flew down, literally erasing the dirt like an eraser.
“aaa!!!”
Eventually, the moment you reach your destination. Pyo Yu-rim had to shut his mouth involuntarily at the horrific scene unfolding before his eyes.
An eight-year-old boy, to put it mildly.
An angel’s ring appeared above her head, and an aurora of light that resembled wings emanated from her back. In addition to that, I could see the dark red aurora overflowing in the eyes.
Halo terminal state. The scenery that Kim Do-yoon would have faced in the past when he encountered himself in a runaway state.
Pyo Yu-rim had to look at the child while swallowing his breath for a while.
‘Kim Do-yoon was facing me in such pain.’
Wow! Kurrr!
The runaway mana from the child scatters in all directions.
The uncontrollable natural power is distorted into a deformed form without being fully formed, and is emitted in a form similar to a curse.
If you delay here just a little longer, this child will undoubtedly be swallowed up by her own magical powers, and herald the end. Pyo Yoo-rim once again displayed his nature to buy time until Kim Do-yoon arrived.
『Time Prison』
One of her thousands of lower natures that imprison beings in a certain realm in still time.
“Oh… .”
For an instant, my brain tingled. Pyo Yu-rim pursed his lips and endured it.
Perhaps he was afraid that he would appear like this, so he kept himself out of the job. That’s why I didn’t want to show weakness in front of him, whom I would meet soon.

Jiying.
At that moment, one wall suddenly cracked and a square hole appeared. A man appeared there.
‘Mr. Kim Do-yoon.’
Even though he covered his face with a mask, Pyo Yoo-rim was able to recognize at once that he was Kim Do-yoon.
It wasn’t like the power of nature. The hair style seen above the mask, the overall appearance of the body, the height, the shoes worn, the unique posture and gait when standing still.
Gathering this information, it was easy to identify Kim Do-yoon.
Panting, he looked from the hole in the ceiling he had entered. And before long, his eyes turned to him.
‘Why are you so hurt again? People’s hearts hurt… … .’
I tried hard to suppress the feeling of wanting to run away to ask if I was okay.
“It was you too.”
At Kim Do-yoon’s words, Pyo Yoo-rim paused for a moment. In the meantime, he looked at the child inside the barrier and asked again.
“What condition is the child in that barrier?”
“I was forced to stop by magic. It’s literally just a standstill. If you release this magic circle, it will go into a rampage again.”
“Free me. I’ll calm you down right away.”
After the barrier was lifted, Pyo Yu-rim blocked the aftermath of the magical power that erupted from the child again, and Kim Do-yoon’s work began.
‘Did you try to stop this by yourself?’
In fact, looking at his physical condition, it seemed that he had really been like that.
“Thank you for coming to help.”
When the work was finally finished and Kim Do-yoon said so, Pyo Yu-rim let go of the resentment he had been enduring.
“What would have happened if I hadn’t come?”
“… … .”
“Have I been unreliable?”
Kim Do-yoon answered after a short pause.
“sorry.”
The moment he saw him lowering his gaze with a pitiful expression, Pyo Yu-rim felt his heart sink as if he had done something wrong.
You don’t have to be really sorry. While those words were barely coming out of my throat.
“I see. I’m glad. Everything is settled here.”
Doyoon Kim started talking to someone. Seeing that he had something plugged into his ear, he seemed to be talking to another colleague or Seol Chae-hwa who entered here.
By the time the long conversation was over. Kim Do-yoon turned to the entrance he came in and said.
“let’s go.”
“yes.”
The silence started like that.
Didn’t you get hurt too much? Can I take a look at your wounds? Even if the magic doesn’t work well, can’t you heal me a little? Those urges and desires struggled to get out of her heart.
Pyo Yu-rim burst into tears for no reason.
I don’t want to show myself crying in this situation. Then, in the end, it would be like making himself understand the reason why Kim Do-yoon didn’t try to call him.
The stray forest naturally slowed down the walking speed. To secretly steal tears out of his sight.
“Pyoyurim. that… … .”
“Never mind.”
I didn’t want to find out about it, so I blocked what he was trying to say in advance.
Third parties who disturbed the atmosphere appeared in the middle, but she removed them all with a single gesture, as if to drive away flying insects.
The air around it got heavier and heavier as time passed.
“Ugh… .”
sometimes.
Whenever he heard the sound of Doyoon Kim suffering from a wound on his body, Yurim Pyo had to startle as if he had been hurt himself.
“hey! Here it is!”
Then a woman leaning against the hallway wall waved her hand.
“Pyoyurim. You can relax because we are allies.”
“Who are you?”
“Aram Kang. They are students from the same Signal. He’s a sophomore, so he’s our senior.”
Pyo Yu-rim stared at Kang Ah-ram.
‘Are you a girl again?’
Currently, there are a total of three people on the list of people around Kim Do-yoon who are being alerted on the tablet. Nayeon Eom. seolchaehwa. Min Seo Eun. Perhaps the list should be updated, Pyo Yu-rim thought to himself.
“Oh… . The person next to you is the famous driftwood. Right?”
“okay.”
When Kim Do-yoon affirmed, A-ram Kang greeted Yoo-rim Pyo with a rather awkward smile.
“hi. My name is Aram Kang. Is it because I came all the way here to help the guy here? Seol Chae-hwa has nothing to do with that chaebol lady, so please don’t misunderstand.”
“?”
Pyo Yu-rim could not understand why this woman suddenly acted like this. I didn’t know it well, but I felt like I knew the unique crouching atmosphere. It was a treat that I received every time at other places other than Signal.
“hey. Would the wild forest eat you? Why are you struggling to fit in?”
“Mr. You can talk like that because you don’t even know X. This dumb tang with no ultang is a taengtaeng brash bastard who wants to hit the juktaengi with a roundabout kick. Be prepared to get caught later on.”
“suddenly?”
What is this atmosphere like?
I don’t know how we met each other. For some reason, Pyo Yu-rim felt that he did not have to regard Kang Ah-ram as a rival.
“sh*t! The card key won’t work!”
“I’m going to go to the B loading area and get the explosives.”
“Are you going to smash it? I heard that this wall is very hard?”
In the meantime, I arrived at the entrance of the central control center before I knew it. The search party, which had dealt with all the traitorous patrols, was gathered in front of the unopened entrance of the control center.
“It looks like Seolchaehwa has safely sealed the entrance. If the hacking was a little late, it would have been dangerous.”
“hey. Mr. San. I was so rampant earlier that I’m in present time right now? It’s okay if one or two people are defeated individually, but it’s difficult against that swarm of ants.”
“Even though I don’t have much mental strength… .”
The moment Kim Do-yoon took out the Astrolabus and was about to recharge his mana.
Wheein!
A gust of wind blows around the place where the driftwood used to be. It’s like sweeping the dust on the floor with a broom. Swept away by the wind, the search party flew away in an instant and disappeared somewhere.
gulp.
It was the sound of Aram Kang swallowing saliva.
Meanwhile, the three were finally able to enter the central control center.
“uh? Friends!”
“Ching-gu-ching-gu!”
“My friend is sleeping. You have to shush. Shh!”
“Shh~”
The children who came back to their senses were happy to see the children Kim Do-yoon, Kang A-ram, and Pyo Yu-rim were carrying on their backs.
“By the way, what is your sister? It’s the first person I’ve seen, so are you playing with me?”
“sister! I just heard a bang outside. What’s going on?”
Kang Ah-ram and Pyo Yu-rim are visibly embarrassed as the children gather around them. In the meantime, Kim Do-yoon went back to McClain, who was lying down.
he was dead
eyes and nose. mouth. ear. Blood is oozing out of every hole in his face.
Death due to supernova virus. Realizing this fact, Kim Do-yoon clicked his tongue lightly as if expressing regret and got up from his seat.
“You guys are taking care of the kids there. I’ll go down a little underground down here.”
“Are you okay?”
To Pyo Yoo-rim’s question, Kim Do-yoon answered with a shy atmosphere.
“are you okay. Nayeon Eom said she went inside and took care of it first. It’s over, so don’t worry.”
The stairs leading to the basement were in the form of a spiral. Kim Do-yoon, who went down the stairs as if spinning round and round, was able to meet the person he wanted to meet there.
“uncle… !”
Eom Na-yeon showed a happy expression for a while at the sight of Kim Do-yoon returning alive. She soon realized that Kim Do-yoon’s appearance was worse than the last time she saw her, and put on a sad expression.
“Wasn’t there a researcher here?”
“huh. I’m sitting on the desk in front of the computer over there. I’ve confirmed that I don’t have the strength to resist anymore, so it’s okay to approach.”
“great job.”
“My uncle did more of the hard work. I overpowered him easily.”
Kim Do-yoon smiled and approached the researcher.
“ah… . Did you finally come… … . 「Influencer」. okay. I thought it was you too.”
The final boss of the second episode. Researcher Cho Kang-min. Although the impact was weak compared to the mid-boss MacLaine, his actions had a great influence on future episodes.
“I’ve prepared and put on a mask, so why is it that everyone recognizes me so easily?”
“hehehe. I watched everything through that large CCTV monitor over there. With Septagram’s information power, there is only one adult with mental interference ability powerful enough to control Halo. It has been revealed that Kim Do-yoon is the only one in the world.”
“so? Why did you make your defenses so poorly when you knew I was coming here?”
From nob le mt l. com
Jo Kang-min raised his head and looked towards the sky.
“what… … . If you’ve taken over this lab, there’s nothing urgent, right? Give yourself time to organize your thoughts. After all, the moment I put this information into my mouth, my brain will go into countdown.”
The shackles placed on all who belong to the Septagram. Supernova virus. If you are an adult, you will never be able to detoxify the supernova virus planted in ordinary people like Kangmin Cho.
Kim Do-yoon decided not to overdo it and show off his nature. It would be safer and faster to let the person open his/her mouth than to speed up the time by interfering with the mind.
“It will be a very boring story.”
From nob le mt l. com
Jo Kang-min smiled forlornly and fidgeted with the pendant hanging around his neck.
The epilogue of the tough second episode. However, later stories began to emerge that were quite different from the ending Kim Do-yoon originally knew.
