Camouflage
aaah!
“what? Combat Alert?!”
“emergency! emergency! It’s an attack! Monsters attacked!”
“monster? what is the type? Does anyone know?!”
The facility was thrown into chaos by the sudden sound of sirens.
Someone was carrying papers and storage devices in a box, someone was holding onto a phone, and someone was running around with a gun.
Although there is a military base stationed nearby, all they can deal with are physical monsters.
If a ghost-type monster that does not work with physical force appears, survival cannot be guaranteed.
It was the cry of the head of security that brought the people who were about to fall into a panic back to normal.
“All calm down! The current alert is not caused by a monster attack! An alert issued to kill the researcher and catch the missing specimen!”
“what? Aren’t you a monster?”
“Damn it, then I should have said that beforehand. You were surprised!”
The confusion quickly subsided.
Accidents caused by test subjects happen when you forget.
It was the first time a death had occurred, but even so, it was nothing compared to the threat of monsters.
However, things started to go awry.
– aaa!
-Pa, arm! my arm!
Talin was at a loss for words after watching dozens of researchers brutally butchered by one test subject through CCTV.
Although they are untrained civilians, the number of dozens is not something to be ignored.
However, that test subject did not use a gun, but only an ax to knock down dozens of people.
Talin, who was carefully examining the video, said with a frown.
“You seem to have awakened your superpowers.”
“Isn’t it just a good fight?”
“no. look at this scene I blocked a bullet fired by a guard. That’s the bullet that flew in the middle of the fight. Weapons are also weapons, but it is impossible with human reaction speed. sure This guy must have awakened as a psychic.”
“Then I guess I’ll have to put in a psychic.”
The research director smiled brightly at the thought of securing a new psychic, and Tallinn smiled bitterly at the sight.
How can you laugh while watching dozens of your colleagues get slaughtered?
It was not the reaction of a sane human being.
‘Well, if I work here, I’m bound to go crazy.’
Every day, dozens of people are punched in the head and brain water is collected.
Having killed hundreds or thousands of innocent people, it would be even stranger to remain sane.
‘Then am I sane?’
The answer was obvious.
He is also not sane.
It was because they were ignoring the terrible massacre wrapped up in the name of a great cause for little money.
‘Do I have to survive like this?’
“Look at this! The test object passed through the bulkhead. I will meet Jack soon.”
Talin, lost in thought, was brought back to reality by the director’s voice.
A test subject is approaching Jack, who is hiding using psychic powers.
All that remains is to subdue the test subject and end the situation… … .
“yes?”
“uh?”
Stupid sounds came out of the lab director and Talin’s mouths at the same time.
The test subject, who thought it would be overpowered, swung the ax abruptly, and Jack, who was defenseless, grabbed his neck and collapsed.
The shocking sight did not end there.
“what? Why are you laying down your weapon?”
“Looking at the atmosphere, it looks like they are trying to have a conversation.”
“huh. What kind of guy’s conversation… … . huh? for a moment! Me, that one!”
“… … such crazy.”
A test subject running towards the psychic troops.
According to common sense, it should have ended with a landslide victory for the psychic troops.
Although he is holding a weapon that looks unusual, he is a novice who has just awakened to supernatural powers.
It is impossible to win against five veteran psychics.
But then the impossible happened.
The subject, who threw an ax and disturbed his gaze, approached at terrifying speed and began to kill the psychic.
Felton, who had the ability to restrain, was cut to death with an oblique line, and Cecilia, who had the ability to release energy, was split left and right.
Cain mortally wounded the test subject using his explosive ability, but was killed instantly by an ax that came from a blind spot while following him.
Lily, who has the ability to freeze, had an ax stuck in her heart, and Nikolai, who has the ability to strengthen her body, fell in a strange way.
“amazing! What kind of psychic powers have you awakened to? Judging from the fact that he noticed Jack’s existence, the sense system was clear, and the speed increased in the middle. Could it be that the acceleration system has also awakened? A multi-line psychic? Is that possible?”
“Chief, this is not the time to talk about that.”
The screens reflecting the inside of the facility were covered with noise one after another.
The test subject is destroying the CCTV.
“I thought he was just an ignorant guy, but he’s surprisingly smart. What do you think should be done?”
“I think we should ask the military for support.”
“Is it really necessary? I think I can subdue it enough with my expenses.”
“Didn’t you just watch me take down psychics? It cannot be dealt with at cost.”
“… … If that’s what you think, there’s nothing you can do about it.”
The research director, who looked at Tallinn disapprovingly, picked up the receiver of the hotline connected to a nearby unit.
A faint smile spread across Tallinn’s lips.
To be honest, I was able to deal with only one psychic, even with the guards.
I don’t know if it’s a complex city center.
If dozens of people shoot bullets in such a narrow and confined space, even a superpowered grandfather, not a superpowered person, can’t stand it.
However, that did not mean that the psychic could be subdued without damage.
Even the weakest psychic can kill one or two people.
Even the opponent is a monster who defeated five psychics.
‘If we fight, there will be a lot of deaths.’
And among the dead, there is a very high probability that he, the person in charge of security, will have to fight first.
Talin did not have the slightest desire to stand in front of a psychic.
‘Let’s go thin and long.’
A wife like a fox and a child like a rabbit are waiting at home.
In order to survive in this crazy world, you couldn’t take even the slightest risk.
“They say they’ll be back in 10 minutes.”
Talin fervently begged the subject to remain still until the military arrived.
Fortunately, as Tallinn had hoped, the test subject did not appear anywhere.
But instead, another problem arose.
“Wait, isn’t that Nikolai?”
The remaining CCTV caught the scene of Nikolai, who was thought to be dead, crawling.
His neck was bent in a strange way and he was making some unnatural movements, but Nikolai was clearly alive.
“Go ahead and get me!”
“Yes? I mean?”
“Then who else is here besides you?”
“Uh, the army will be arriving soon, so why do I need to step out?”
“What if the test subject kills Nikolai before then? I can’t lose any more psychics!”
“that is… … .”
“What is it?”
Tallinn swallowed back the words that came up to his throat at the research director’s devouring gaze.
“… … I’ll be right there.”
Talin came out of the control room, put on a helmet and an exoskeleton, and called the guards.
When I went to the place where the monster that killed the five supernatural powers was, my feet didn’t come off easily, but I forced myself to walk.
‘Nikolai is not far from the entrance. I’m just going in and out for a while. Come out right away with Nikolai. It’s nothing, right?’
Desperately under self-hypnosis, Talin brought the card key to the keypad.
Beep!
As soon as the door opened, Tallinn and other guards sprinted towards the place where Nikolai was.
“I found it!”
“Go out and check the status!”
“Ah, boss! Go with me!”
Lifting Nikolai up, Tallinn ran without looking back and immediately sat down on the floor as soon as he passed through the door.
“I lived… … .”
Although he had been inside for less than a minute, Talin’s body was drenched in sweat.
The psychic who did not know when, where, and with what ability to attack was fearful.
“I brought you a stretcher!”
“Don’t touch me carelessly! I broke my neck bone!”
“You’re still alive?!”
Those who remained in the facility began bringing in items needed to treat Nikolai.
Tallinn staggered to his feet.
The military will take care of the test subject, but as the facility’s security officer, you have to clean up what happened today.
How the test subject escaped, where the weapon was obtained, and whether or not this incident was not an accidental accident but the work of an enemy country, there were piles of things to deal with.
‘I don’t think it will end with a pay cut.’
Tallinn, who was sighing at the bleak future, suddenly felt a strong sense of incongruity.
The noisy surroundings were enveloped in such silence that at some point you could even hear the sound of a needle dropping.
Tallinn looked around, bewildered, and realized that everyone was looking at him, no, at Nikolai next to him, and looked away.
And he doubted his own eyes.
There was Nikolai with a bomb wrapped under his clothes.
“… … Is it a dream?”
* * *
aaang!
A hot wind swept through the surroundings, accompanied by an explosion that shook the heavens and the earth.
The commander, who urged the soldiers to enter the facility, muttered in an absurd voice.
“This is a psychic research facility, right? Didn’t you come to the wrong ammo depot?”

Jokes that aren’t even funny.
Normally, he would have laughed at the rank, but now no one laughed.
The situation was too serious for that.
“Shall we enter?”
“Are you crazy? Wait for everyone.”
Unless you know the identity of the explosion, deploying soldiers is tantamount to committing suicide.
“Form a siege. You must not let a single ant escape.”
‘What the hell is going on? terror? A riot of superpowers? Could it be a monster attack? Damn, too little information.’
The commander bit his lip.
Everyone knows about psychic powers, but the existence of psychic research institutes should never be known to the general public.
If it is known that people literally change people to create supernatural powers, the aftermath will be beyond imagination.
‘If you turn the research center into ruins by pouring firepower and then disguise it as a monster attack… … .’
Reporters who smelled it sooner or later would arrive, but before that, the situation had to be sorted out somehow.
When the commander’s worries reached their climax, someone’s voice rang out.
“Something is coming!”
“All ready to fire!”
Everyone put their fingers on the trigger.
If only one command, ‘shoot’ came out of the commanding officer’s mouth, the facility would be destroyed immediately.
Fortunately, that didn’t happen.
that buck that buck
The ones who came out of the facility were people wearing white researcher uniforms.
Their clothes and skin were charred as if caught in the explosion, and they were staggering as if they were going to collapse at any moment, but they were still alive.
“What are you looking at! Hurry up and protect it!”
“ancient!”
As soon as the commanding officer gave the order, the soldiers rushed to help the researchers.
And in the middle, there was a faintly smiling Yoosung.
