{ Cain 1 }
A large garden with lawns on all sides came into view.
The lights are brightly lit up here and there, so it looks pretty cool.
Yuhan-wol immediately turned his gaze away from the scene outside the window.
This was because Aiden, who had guided us to the fourth floor in turn, led us to the first floor again.
It was a great base.
It is well defended against the outside by securing a wide surveillance network.
Yuhan Wol recalled the scene he had just looked at.
In the distance, the walls surrounding the four sides look quite high and sturdy.
Even if there are no surveillance cameras installed everywhere, if someone comes across a large garden without a single tree, they will be immediately discovered.
This building is also very spacious and well made.
To say that he spent some money is not an understatement.
‘Secure your colleagues and increase your strength in the shadows.’
He seemed to have drawn up such a concept at least before the establishment of this base.
Like Yuhan Wol, Yang Kwang also kept his mouth shut and focused on looking at the base, following Aiden’s guidance.
‘I think I’ve looked around?’
After that, go down to the first floor again. Yuhanwol felt that something was missing here.
Didn’t you say you have more colleagues?
Of course, he may not be here right now, but Aiden’s words sounded like they were waiting here right now.
‘Is there a secret space?’
Aiden, who came down to the first floor, passed the living room and headed towards the entrance.
Then he stood facing the wall of the hallway connecting the living room and the front door, and put his palm on one of the walls.
push
Then there was a quiet sound and the door opened.
“Five… !”
Yang Gwang-gwang, who had been silently watching until then, vomited out a sigh of relief.
I had only guessed to some extent that there was a secret space.
However, despite what was already expected, the entrance was hidden so much that admiration came out.
At first glance, it was just an expensive interior, with stone plates of various shapes the size of a book being irregularly attached to the wall.
But how can you completely hide what is hidden in this secret door?
As well as its effective design, it was particularly surprising that advanced features such as facial recognition and vein recognition were all hidden inside the wall.
‘It’s really well made.’
Yang Yang-gwang glanced at Yuhan-wol standing next to him.
As expected, a calm face.
Of course he must have guessed that there must be a secret space somewhere.
‘But, did you know exactly where the door is hidden?’
Aiden’s voice blew away Yang Yang-gwang’s curiosity.
He opened the door and turned his body back to look at the two of them.
“This is the heart of this stronghold. ruler. Get inside.”
As he walked down the stairs, he continued.
“The ground floor is for everyday life. In the underground part, there are facilities for conducting operations. CCCs, weapons manufacturing facilities, laboratories, laboratories, training rooms, etc. Oh, of course, the underground part also serves as a bunker in case of an emergency. We have also prepared living spaces and related materials so that we can survive underground for a certain period of time.”
“… What is CCC?”
Aiden responds to Yang Gwang’s words.
“ah… It’s called the Command and Control Center. Abbreviated as CCC. In Korean… Should I call it a command and control room? operating room? situation room? You can think of it as something like that.”
As you go down the long stairs, you will see a corridor that stretches out on both sides in a closed field of view.
A very ordinary sight for Yang Yang-gwang, who was expecting something special.
“For the purpose, the lower floors are designed to block the view as much as possible. To make it difficult for first-timers to grasp the terrain.”
When he finished speaking, Yang Yang-gwang nodded his head a couple of times as if it was a reasonable thing to say.
‘If I had said it without thinking about it, what else would I have said… .’
It was at the moment when I was just about to say that I looked normal without really thinking about it.
Aiden continued to explain while staring at him as if he had read his innermost thoughts.
‘Are you even reading my thoughts?’
No way.
If he really could do that, he would have been excitedly concerned that now was his chance as soon as he spoke those words.
Yang Gwang hurriedly brushed away the unpleasant thoughts that suddenly came to mind and followed Aiden’s footsteps.
Aiden continued walking past the intermittent doors on the left and right.
As I walked, I could see that it was a fairly large space.
When I asked why the lawn garden was so wide on the ground, it was because the underground space below it was that wide.
At this level, in fact, the living space above was considered to be decorative rather than actually necessary.
Then, Aiden turned to the door next to it.
Just an ordinary door that looks no different from the other doors lined up in the hallway.
‘… It must be really hard to find when you first come, isn’t it?’
Even though Aiden didn’t do anything special, the door swung open immediately.
Then, as we entered the room, the large monitors installed on one wall came into view first.
A state-of-the-art facility that was completely different from the usual exterior hallways and looked really special was spread out before my eyes.
‘This is… ‘
“This is CCC. And here… ”
Aiden approaches the young white man who sits at the desk in front of the screen, turns with a friendly face and gets up from his seat, and continues the conversation.
“We are in charge of IT. My name is Libby.”
At first glance, it looks ordinary, but it is a favorable impression.
“Hello! My name is Livi. nice to meet you.”
With a bright expression on his face, he greets him in awkward Korean.
He seemed to have prepared a greeting in Korean to welcome the new Korean colleague.
Simultaneous interpretation is common in everyday life, but this small effort made it even more special.
Two people who respond with bright faces.
“Nice to meet you. It’s a limited month.”
“I’m Yang Do-gwang.”
Instead of a brief introduction between the two, Aiden added an explanation.
“Here, Hanwol-gun is a participant in the Ubermensh project… Do-kwang is a hacker. There will be many things to do with you in the future.”
Seeing that his twinkling eyes turned more toward him, he was Yang Kwang, who thought he was in charge of IT.
‘This is where I will work in the future… .’
Seeing the state-of-the-art equipment behind him, he seemed to be a little excited.
“then.”
And as he moved again following Aiden’s guidance, Yang Gwang thought.
Livi’s eyes just before.
I don’t know if it’s the other person who checked those eyes.
* * *
After walking for a while, Aiden stopped in front of an ordinary door again.
But even though the door didn’t open immediately, he didn’t take any action, he just stood there.
Perhaps he felt that kind of gaze, Aiden opened his mouth.
“This is a weapon crafting room. They’re probably working on it right now, but you might want to wait a bit. Because he doesn’t like being interrupted while he’s working. Well, doesn’t anyone hate being interrupted when they’re concentrating?”
When I tried to listen to him explaining as if he was a colleague, it seemed that the person inside was quite strict.
‘Waiting for us outside… There must be a way to find out. Working on it too?’
It wasn’t that Aiden knocked on the door or rang the bell.
I was just standing in front of the door.
“It looks like an active monitoring device is installed? If someone stands in front of the door for a long time, a notification pops up inside?”
With those words, Aiden looked back at Yangyanggwang, who was carefully examining the walls near the door, and said.
“Yes… ? Oh, not like that.”
“Then how does the sword know from the inside that someone is standing outside?”
“I sent you a message. I will be leaving soon.”
“… … .”
Aiden turned his head away from Yang Gwang’s face, which had hardened his expression, and looked at Yuhan Wol.
“Actually, the friend in here is really important. to us.”
Yuhan Wol listened quietly, and he continued.
“As you may be feeling, the most necessary thing for our work in the future is none other than ‘weapons’. The same goes for all kinds of high-tech equipment.”
Yuhan-wol nodded in agreement.
Next to Yuhan-wol, Yang Yang-gwang, who felt a little uncomfortable, tried not to move his head.
However, he was equally sympathetic to Aiden’s words.
The situation is incredibly inferior to BH.
So, to deal with them, good weapons were needed.

Various operational equipment was also essential.
While Aiden waited, he continued to speak.
“As I said, no matter how superhuman you are, it is difficult to ignore human science and technology. But if you look at it upside down, it’s a different story. Superman is literally superman. Isn’t it something that transcends human limits? From a physical point of view, humans can never… In addition to their abilities, how much stronger can such superhumans become if they are armed with modern weapons?
The image of the BH processing team that they encountered while escaping from the laboratory immediately came to mind.
“As you can see, the supermen in BH use guns and all kinds of equipment. And so should we. Even to deal with them.”
slurp
Then, when the door opened, Aiden turned around and led him inside.
“Come on, get inside.”
As I followed him inside, a completely different scene unfolded from the outside again.
The inside was a rectangular, wide open space.
What I immediately saw in front of my eyes were the long platform roads just below the vast ceiling and the upper part of the overhead crane mounted on the steel frame.
‘How deep is it? 4 stories high? 5th floor?’
I felt like I had to go a little further forward and look down to see the whole thing.
On the other side there was a staircase going down.
At that time, Yang Gwang was contemplating whether to go further than the two standing people.
A middle-aged white man appeared from the stairs.
As he climbed the stairs, his figure became more and more evident.
He had a large body, and his skeleton was quite strong.
The reason why his short haircut and his short, gray beard felt rough was probably because his expression was stubborn.
Aiden gave a welcome voice to the colleague who appeared.
“Hey, why didn’t you install an elevator like that?”
he came over and said
“I didn’t install it on purpose. To make exercise natural.”
He approached Yuhanwol and Yangyanggwang and opened his mouth again.
“Are you new friends?”
The two men responded to that gaze.
“It is a finite month.”
“I’m Yang Yang-gwang.”
“okay. Nice to meet you.”
he said briefly.
However, contrary to the meaning of those words, it was not very welcome.
It was enough that everyone could feel his emotions without difficulty.
‘You’re an honest person.’
As if he had seen everything he had to do, Yuhan-wol thought as he looked at the person who turned his body towards the end.
How many people are different on the outside and inside?
A person like that was more reliable than a person who approached me with a smile from the beginning.
Aiden’s voice guiding the two outside without any hesitation was heard immediately, whether he knew his inclination well.
“Well then… .”
The back view of the man walking towards the stairs again.
Unlike Aiden and Yang-Gwang Yang, who left their seats at a glance, Yuhan-Wol, who was standing still, suddenly opened his mouth.
The voice reached behind him as he reached the stairs.
“What is your name?”
“… Call me Cain.”
After a moment’s hesitation, he turned his head and glanced at Yuhan Wol, spoke briefly, and then walked down the stairs.
“I hope to go along well.”
Whether he saw him or not, Yuhan-wol nodded and said, and followed the two out the door.
Hearing the sound of footsteps moving away and the sound of the door closing, he murmured indifferently as he stopped at the beginning of the stairs going down.
“It wasn’t very hopeful.”
