124 – Attack of the Gag Residents
As soon as he heard Lian’s voice, the man was so surprised that his legs went weak and he almost fell to the ground. This was all because of the horrifying “results” he had seen downstairs.
The man with an impressive mustache reflexively recalled the hell he had witnessed and experienced firsthand.
***
The man who had just escaped from Noah’s captured laboratory encountered a woman in casual attire as he made his way to the main experimental room.
“Oh! Hello! Um, I’m sorry, but how do I get to Bucheon Station?”
The woman didn’t look like a researcher or a test subject at all. That meant she was an intruder.
“Is she crazy? Get rid of her quickly!”
Normally, he would have tried to subdue her to gather information, but the situation was urgent, so he ordered her to be killed. His order resulted in a brutal outcome.
“What are you doing!”
As soon as she was attacked with dark magic and a sword, the woman screamed and swung the small bag she was holding.
Thunk!
The person who was hit by the bag had their neck snapped and died, and as the bag swung, it created a gust of wind that sent the researchers flying, impaling them on the wall and ending their lives.
Realizing that the situation was taking a strange turn, the man quickly left with a few researchers. The screams of the researchers who couldn’t escape echoed behind him.

When they finally arrived at the laboratory, the first thing they encountered were small figures with only a finger, brandishing tiny knives and shouting, “War! Victory! Woo!” as they swarmed around.
They clung to the researchers like a swarm of ants, stabbing them with sharp knives. If the gag filter had been applied, it would have been nothing more than an itchy sensation, but cruelly, this was a dark fantasy world.
If there was only one small figure, it wouldn’t be a problem, but when their numbers exceeded a thousand, it became a problem. The small figures clinging to the researchers mercilessly sliced their bodies with sharp knives.
Although they were no different from toothpicks, since all of the blades were sharp, their bodies were covered in blood in an instant.
Next, what appeared was a dog.
“Bark! Grrr!”
The fierce-looking dog was strangely wearing a leash, and a long line was hanging as if its owner had dropped it.
With wide-open eyes, the dog chased after the researcher and bit his buttocks. In the world of comedy, he would have screamed “Ouch!” and flown into the air, but here, he was just torn apart.
Crash! Bang! Boom!
The orange-haired man’s head shot up as if defying gravity, running at a terrifying speed, mercilessly breaking through the wall and devices blocking his way.
“hahahahaha! Nothing can stop me!”
What was even stranger was that flames were blazing in the man’s eyes. Running with a refreshing expression and without any malicious intent, his appearance was truly bizarre.
“Squawk – Squawk -“
A bird with unnaturally large eyes and tiny pupils unpleasantly cried out and dropped white droppings on the heads of the researchers.
The researcher who got hit by the droppings suddenly stumbled and fell, as if his luck had suddenly turned for the worse. He hit his head on the corner of the desk, stumbled and twisted, and then collided with the man who defied gravity, flying away.
Normally, when someone is hit by such an intense man, they become a star in the sky, but in the dark fantasy world, they just fly into the wall and are mosaic-ed.
“Eek! I’m going to die!”
The researchers here were all skilled black magicians, so they immediately tried to knock down their opponent with black magic. Their attacks focused on one spot, as if being sucked into a black hole.
In that spot, there was a man with lace fluttering on his sleeves and his eyes strangely sparkling as if he had dozens of jewels embedded in them. The man, with a greasy appearance, flicked his waist to the side, his hands behind his head.
“Heh, move, move~”
Bouncing his buttocks uncomfortably, easily evading all the attacks, the man winked and said,
“If you want to hit my heart, work a little harder~”
Witnessing this scene, the black magicians completely lost their senses, shooting off magic in a rage, only to be overwhelmed by the backlash of their own magic, falling down and foaming at the mouth.
“Oh! This looks useful, doesn’t it?”
On one side, there was a 2-meter-tall man whose body was made entirely of muscles, enough to remind one of an orc. He laughed contentedly and pulled out a glass capsule, then started doing squats.
“Oh… This isn’t enough!”
Without hesitation, he grabbed a passing researcher and stuffed them into the capsule, then began massaging the researcher’s thighs. Whenever he felt a little comfortable, he brought in more researchers and put them in.
The problem was that it wasn’t just the researchers he put in. He also grabbed other bizarre experimental subjects that passed by and stuffed them into the glass capsules without any thought.
In the world of comedy, people packed into capsules would only show up like sardines in a subway during rush hour, without suffering any harm. But here… the sound of bones breaking and screams echoed as bodies were crushed and mangled.
Even those who had carried out all sorts of cruel experiments were horrified by the hell that awaited them there.
“Tsk! This is becoming a hassle. But… the results are quite interesting. How is it possible to achieve these kinds of results?”
Even in the midst of that hell, the man with a mustache surprisingly did not lose his nerve. The result he was trying to create was more terrifying than those monsters.
“First, I need to sort out the test subjects and investigate. If I leave it like this, the manpower will be depleted.”
Because the result they were trying to create was the ultimate weapon, they had prepared for such situations. That was also the reason why he could afford to be relaxed.
The reason he watched as the researchers died, even though he knew the solution, was to destroy the pillar of power within the laboratory.
Even if this situation was resolved, the dead researchers would not come back, and the three branches of power would collapse. This meant that the man’s authority would be strengthened.
However, if too many researchers died, the pace of research would slow down, so the man thought he should start wrapping up the situation.
He used magic tools. And in an instant, his presence disappeared.
“It must have been over there, for sure.”
He immediately moved to activate the emergency device. It didn’t take long for him to arrive in front of a room nestled in a corner of the laboratory. He opened the door and then paused.
“Wait a minute. Why hasn’t anyone activated the emergency device?”
No matter how chaotic the situation was, it was unthinkable that not a single one of the numerous researchers had pressed the emergency button. As he had that thought.
“Help… Sa, save me… *sob*…”
“…!”
Terrifying screams began to echo from within. It was a familiar voice. It was the voice of the Chief Researcher.
“Could it be… that they didn’t activate the emergency device? Or… couldn’t activate it?”
The Chief Researcher was not just anyone. He was known to be a formidable black magician, if not on par with a man. As the Chief Researcher’s screams resounded loudly, the man’s pupils started to shake.
“But even so, the emergency device must be activated.”
With a determined expression, he activated all the magical tools he possessed and layered several protective spells on himself.
“I must enter as quickly as possible…”
After drawing the plan in his mind several times, he opened the door with a thud.
Creak…
Like a scene from a horror movie, the door opened.
The first thing he saw was the face of a round middle-aged man with a small pair of glasses on his white permed hair. The man had a cyborg face, with half of his face made of machinery. The man with a mustache was stunned and petrified at the sight of a cyborg, something he had never seen before.
Not a cyborg, but a mad scientist, with a drill in his hand, looked around with a puzzled expression, gazing down at the dismembered body lying in a mess.
“Hmm, why on earth did they die? I just can’t understand.”
The mad scientist, shaking his head as if he couldn’t comprehend it at all, spoke with a sigh.
“Well, I guess I’ll have to find a new test subject.”
The man roughly grabbed the body on the desk and threw it behind him. The heavy corpse flew and landed on top of the already dead bodies.
“Well, then, a new test subject… Oh? This is such a stroke of luck!”
The man laughed cheerfully as he stared at the man with a mustache.
“For a test subject to walk right in! Today must be my lucky day!”
The man’s eyes sparkled with madness. The man with a mustache had encountered countless insane researchers, but he had never seen anyone as crazy as this.
Unconsciously, he took a step back.
“Za-za-za.”
Mad Scientist reached into his clothes and pulled out a remote control, pressing the button firmly. Suddenly, the ground split open with a ziiiiing, and a mechanical hand-like object popped out and attacked the man.
Ting!
The pre-set magic repelled the mechanical hand. With a sense of relief, a layer of defense magic was shattered.
“What, what?!”
Even though it was just one strange-looking hand that was repelled by a defense barrier that could withstand at least three Circle magics, the man’s eyes trembled like a stormy sea.
Ting! Ting! Ting!
The approaching hand quickly and indiscriminately broke through the defense barrier.
“Heeheehee!”
The man felt like he was about to faint from Mad Scientist’s crazed laughter.
***
Thanks to the magical tool he had used in advance, he was dragged onto the desk but managed to escape.
“hehehe, don’t you want to have some fun with me?”
In the middle of being ambushed by a cross-dressing man and losing consciousness, only to be captured by Mad Scientist again, he finally managed to escape.
…After that, he had to fend off unspeakable horrors and barely made it here.
The unfamiliar voice that reached him in such a situation was enough to make him freeze in terror. Trembling, he cautiously turned around.
“Ugh…!”
A flash of light appeared in the man’s eyes, which were growing darker.
“As I suspected, it was still there!”
The essential ingredient needed to create a combat weapon, the King of Dark Spirits, was attached to a human body. His face was soaked in delight.
“Sure! With just that, I can recreate the combat weapons in no time!”
Because he couldn’t recognize the father(?) of the bizarre beings he feared so much, he made a foolish choice.
