Lab 1.

I stare at the crystal man who is sleeping soundly.

I have a Black Russian Potion in my hand.

In the past, it was a top grade potion that was much more powerful than the first one made.

Rating: ★★★★☆ (Elixir)

Effect: Doubles your strength for 30 minutes. Calmness decreases by 5.

Information: A high-grade Black Russian potion created by Shiho. Depending on who takes it, the increase in strength is infinite.

Even though the power I possess is very insignificant, even if I double it, there is clearly a limit.

But the biggest feature of this potion is that you won’t get drunk even if you drink it.

Because I pushed the level to the limit.

Maybe a glass of soju would be okay.

I took the potion with reverence, like the drink generals drink before going on a campaign.

And stares at the man who fixes it.

While sipping the potion, I turned my head at the stinging gaze I felt.

It’s a group of eels.

He, who usually acts like a shut-in, is especially interested in me today.

The boy stares at me with serious eyes, as if he noticed my plan.

I slowly approached the group of eels.

His palms were stuck to the glass window.

“Do you have something to say?”

It’s a pity to see him rotting away inside these cold glass walls.

Because I know the reality of the rankers, the sight of the boy being locked up seems like imprisonment rather than protection.

You never know when it might be used as experimental material.

Like fish in a sushi restaurant aquarium.

He pressed his face close to the glass wall.

And he opened his mouth towards the eel’s face.

“—.”

He breathed his hot breath on the glass wall.

And then he wrote four letters with his finger on the spot where his breath had frozen.

The eel’s eyes fluttered softly when it saw the letters.

I wonder if you understood what I said.

Look at your phone.

Ten minutes had passed since the rankers had drunk Hypnos.

By now, the medicine must have worked.

I took a deep breath inside.

And with my eyes wide open, I flung open the door to lab number 2.

The hallway of Lab 2, which used to be noisy, is now very quiet.

Just in case, let’s check their condition properly.

Room 09.

When she opens the door, her cell phone is lying cold on the floor.

09 fell into a quiet sleep like the murdered hunter on TV.

He walked over to the bed and waved his hand over her face.

But the ranker didn’t move at all.

Only then could I breathe a sigh of relief.

I leave that unpleasant room straight away and head to room 08.

indeed.

08 fell asleep like a corpse with his head on the desk.

His glasses were badly crumpled, perhaps from the impact of hitting his head.

I wish you would give me your real name.

With that thought in mind, I hurried to room number 6.

The sound of the treadmill turning resonates loudly.

The bald man fell asleep while running and was thrown off the rails.

He fell into a peaceful sleep on the gym floor.

Finally 04.

When I arrived at the girl’s room, I flinched for a moment.

Unlike the other rooms which were quiet, the loud game noises were still echoing in her room.

I swallowed deeply and carefully opened the door.

“04…?”

He muttered in a trembling voice.

But there is no response from the game console.

I approached her slowly.

Then he took a deep breath, clutching his chest.

The source of the sound was 04’s keyboard, which was asleep.

Her head was slumped against the keyboard, pressing several keys simultaneously.

Because of that, the character in the game is running like crazy towards the wall.

Soon the character was attacked by a nearby monster and eventually died.

Only then did room 04 become quiet.

thank god.

In fact, the most important thing here was 04.

Among the rankers, she is the lightest, so she is the only one I can drag along.

I put my hand between her armpits and dragged her out of the machine.

With the strength gained from the Black Russian, he drags her to the entrance of Lab Room 3.

Then he lifts the girl’s arm and places it against the fingerprint reader.

As soon as the thumb touches the door, a clear sound effect is heard from the entrance to Lab 3.

Finally, the long-awaited laboratory appears.

04 dropped his arm absentmindedly.

She doesn’t even think about waking up, even though I dragged her far away.

That’s how sophisticated my cocktails are.

I looked back at the girl for a moment before entering the lab.

In fact, she is not the main culprit who killed me and my colleagues.

But she is also an accomplice, as she condoned this unethical establishment.

I won’t be swayed by the evil relationships formed through games.

I just ran forward without looking back.

Towards my sister.

Pass through numerous glass chambers.

It seems like everyone in the glass case is staring at me.

I arrive in front of the red glass case, suppressing the fear that is creeping up on me.

A woman is seen floating in liquid, wearing a lab coat.

In perfect condition, neither aged nor damaged.

She is in a deep sleep with her eyes closed.

“Wait a minute…”

I barely took my eyes off the glass case.

I headed to the central control room, out of breath.

As I go inside, a ‘password’ engraved in the center of the computer greets me.

It has to be released.

I only heard it once, but I remember it clearly.

The conversation between the drunken doctor and Misha at the lounge bar.

“Sir, I clearly told you not to write down your password on a memo pad.”

“I’m sorry, Doctor-. But busy people like me often forget, so it’s easier to write it down frequently.”

“What if someone hacks your computer?”

“Hey, who would bother to come all the way down to the 10th floor to use a computer?”

“And it is much safer from hacking to save passwords as ‘analog’.”

“Post…!”

I quickly looked around the giant monitors to find the post.

But no matter how much I looked, I couldn’t see the yellow note.

“Damn… Where the hell did you put that!”

Did the doctor take it off in the meantime?

If it was taken, where on earth would it be…

Urgent eyes suddenly turn to the trash can.

When I realized something, I immediately turned the trash can upside down.

Then, the crumpled papers inside pour out like corn.

I searched through it like crazy.

And finally…

I find a crumpled yellow notepad.

There are pen marks left there, indicating someone had scribbled on it.

「pswd : misha8282」

The password is once again silent.

Should I say that it’s very Misha-like?

I quickly placed my hands on the spacious keyboard.

Then enter the number written on the note.

yet…

The computer screen turns on and various programs appear.

I couldn’t help but gasp at the screen window I was seeing for the first time in my life.

However, I have only found an open system among the programs in English.

And finally, you come across a red button that says OPEN, and a green button that says ISOLATE.

My hand holding the mouse is shaking extremely.

I clicked the green ‘release’ button.

Then, a woman’s voice begins to be heard from a speaker hanging in the air in Lab 3.

「Release.」

「Release.」

Fortunately, it was the system voice.

I stare through the glass at the red glass room where my sister is.

Really…

The liquid is slowly leaking out!

I looked at the computer screen again, not knowing if the button would work.

The open button can also be used to schedule a time.

When the rankers wake up, they’ll definitely track us down.

To prevent that, I’m going to turn this place into a battlefield.

Click the button in Lab 1.

And set the opening time exactly 20 minutes later.

it’s okay.

I threw the mouse away.

And then he got up so roughly that the chair spun around and ran to the glass case.

Half of the liquid has drained.

Soon, my sister’s red skin becomes lively.

The liquid drained down to my calves.

Unable to wait any longer, I forced open the glass case.

The potion made me stronger.

I roughly opened the glass tube and red liquid poured out, soaking my shoes.

Without paying any attention, he forcibly removes the hose connected to his sister’s body.

Finally, as the oxygen mask is removed, the color returns to my sister’s smooth lips.

“Sister…”

He grabbed her face.

And then he pressed down little by little and whispered.

“Wake up… It’s me…”

He slowly sat her down on his lap while she was unconscious.

And then he hugged her carefully.

“Dohyun…”

My long hair falls into my sister’s face.

Tears began to flow down my cheeks little by little.

The tears fell through her hair and soaked her face.

A soft white glow lingers in the water droplets.

He reached out and wiped away her tears.

Then the light of the Angelic Hand radiated from my fingertips.

Stronger than ever.

It was a dark and gloomy lab number 3.

But soon the thick darkness begins to disappear because of my light.

The intense light enveloped my sister’s body.

And gradually it was absorbed into her body.

Soon the lab became dark again.

My sister’s tightly closed eyelids fluttered.

It was a fleeting moment.

“Sister!”

Jisoo’s eyes gradually begin to open at my raised voice.

Finally, her longed-for brass eyes opened.

“…”

I missed you so much.

These golden eyes.

She has a languid expression, as if she had been in a deep sleep.

And then he looked up at a woman who was looking down at him.

“Who are you…?”

I couldn’t bring myself to answer that question.

Clearly, I had a name called Do-Hyeon.

But why is that?

Those two words were stuck in my throat and wouldn’t come out of my mouth.

I just shook my head.

Every time I shake my head, hot tears fall.

“That doesn’t matter.”

My sister’s gaze toward me wasn’t as warm as before.

He’s cold, like I’m seeing him for the first time in my life.

But I didn’t care about those kinds of gazes.

“Let’s get out of here for now.”

First of all, we need to escape from this hellish place.

He stirred her up when she woke up.

And headed to the emergency elevator hidden in the control room.

“Where on earth am I…?”

My sister’s golden eyes scan the laboratory.

As if someone was looking for him.

“Excuse me…”

Jisoo looked at me with sad eyes.

She asks me with trembling lips.

“Was there anyone else where I fell?”

“Another… person…?”

The tear ducts are trembling.

I absentmindedly repeated my sister’s words.

“Yes… He’s a slightly taller and thinner man than me, and he uses healing skills.”

“Why are you looking for that person?”

“…”

The corners of Jisoo’s eyes trembled faintly.

Tears well up in her golden eyes and she shimmers.

“I said something to that kid… that I shouldn’t have said…”

It was in front of the emergency escape elevator.

I stood there, staring at her pitifully.

“My life is at stake right now, so does that matter?”

“Yes… It’s very important to me, are you alive?”

“…”

“Why can’t you answer, tell me quickly!”

I have dark circles under my eyes.

Because of all the hardships, her lips have turned purple.

I turned my head away as if ignoring her words.

And then I pressed the call button without thinking.

“This is the den of the people who killed you.”

The elevator has arrived.

The only escape route from here has finally opened.

“Please save my life first.”

I lowered my head to keep from sobbing.

Perhaps because of the lump in his throat, he just mumbled in a small voice.

“I’ll explain everything next time.”
