by fnovelpia“As expected.”
After a moment of crashing down and hitting the floor, what I saw was a very large laboratory.
‘I thought something was strange.’
As I was wandering around, being chased by the Ice Queen, I had many questions.
Rather than cleanly managed equipment, it looks like it has never been used.
The number of staff members at this large research institute was ridiculously small.
And finally.
‘There was no one.’
Astra clearly stated when explaining the mission that they were in collusion with a villain organization to kidnap people and use them as test subjects.
So where are those ‘test subjects’?
Even if it’s a world where people die naturally, unless they disappear like in a game, their corpses will remain.
Did you throw it away somewhere? Then, there will be a trace.
There is not a single related device in the upper research lab, so it is impossible to say that any trace of humans has been erased.
‘Then there’s only one thing left.’
They hid the test subjects, or something that processes the test subjects.
Where? In the sky or under the ground.
And my prediction was correct.
‘If it’s here, there will be more materials to take to the organization.’
I got up from the mat I had laid down with my might and looked around.
‘If there’s one variable, it’s that I brought the Ice Queen with me…’
If that had been the original plan, I would have fainted long ago, but I was truly amazed at the persistence that came to me through thick and thin.
Is that how you become a heroine?
Anyway, I looked around but couldn’t see the Ice Queen.
‘It must have been true that we fell together.’
I saw her fall in real time as the floor of the room collapsed.
If you didn’t get there by using your abilities…
‘aha.’
I looked up and saw a path made of ice.
A straight downhill slope from top to bottom.
‘Well, I guess a method like mine would be difficult to use against the Ice Queen.’
It occurred to her that it might be more efficient for her to make a path out of ice.
‘Then, I guess I’ll meet you if I wander around the underground lab.’
Thinking like that, I slowly walked deeper into the lab.
Step, step.
While we’re at it, how about adding one more concept since we brought Ice Queen along?
Like a villain with a story?

“Damn it! You incompetent bastards! Is it right for villains and heroes to get beat up by just three villains?”
A dark underground laboratory.
A man slammed his desk, which was littered with various documents and drawings, in a fit of rage.
“Ha, but team leader..”
His true identity is research team leader Chu Seo-ho.
He was the man who introduced the research lab to the heroes.
“Team Leader, what kind of a freezing team leader is that!”
If I go back like this, I’ll be ridiculed for the rest of my life. What the…
A man with a very wrinkled face.
“Pack your bags quickly! I heard something exploding, so we’ll be caught soon!”
The researchers under him, who looked like a man throwing a tantrum, shoved in as much data as they could.
“Did you copy the ‘regeneration agent’ research data?”
“Yes, yes..”
Chu Seo-ho picked up the USB that the researcher had handed him.
‘Is this the result of my research?’
The man sighed at the result, which was completely different from what he had originally wanted.
The result was a bit different from their goal of creating a drug that could heal the body in any situation.
This is also a case where they found utility in side effects.
It was an extremely frustrating situation for Chu Seo-ho.
‘Still, I have to take care of this so that I and the project can survive.’
The man who had put the USB in his pocket turned his gaze to the researchers.
“..Wait, there’s one missing? Gyu-hwan. Park Gyu-hwan, where did that kid go?”
“What is the rule? He must have gone to the place where the sound came from to spy on them…”
“..Please, save me…”
A man’s voice heard while Chu Seo-ho and a researcher were talking about empty personnel.
“Hello, researchers?”
“What the hell did that bastard bring..”
Park Gyu-hwan is shivering and a man is pointing a gun at his head.
Chu Seo-ho, who saw him, covered his forehead as if he had a headache.
***
“Nice to meet you, everyone.”
As I greeted them with a bright smile, the researchers’ faces began to rot.
“……”
Crunch.
“Ahahahaha! It’s an honor to meet you!!”
“Oh, it’s an honor!!”
“Hahahahahaha!!”
A bright smile as I aim my gun at him.
I smiled with satisfaction, poured tea into a paper cup, and took a sip.
‘Hmm. This is a good meal.’
It seems like a pretty expensive tea because of its fragrance and clean aftertaste.
Bam.
I put down the car and looked at the researchers in front of me.
‘Then… should I share some knowledge?’
“I would appreciate it if you could show me what you have been researching so far.”
“…No matter what, that’s a bit…”
A researcher reacted immediately to my words.
I pulled the trigger at the guy without hesitation.
Taang-!
“……”
“Is there anyone who disagrees?”
“……”
“Okay. If you have any research materials that you like, I will definitely use them, so don’t worry.”
Fortunately, the researchers found that no one rebelled after that.
“Here are the results of my research…”
“This phenomenon is…”
“Look at the B-425 test tube. The cell reaction is like this..”
After a brief commotion, I walked around with the researchers and looked at their respective studies.
‘It is possible to expand like this even in the field of regeneration.’
The approaches are diverse and often involve a mix of different disciplines.
The subject matter is the same, but the way it is carried out is completely different.
I looked at the research results with admiration.
“..So what I studied is the octopus’s legs! More precisely, the tentacles!”
“..?”
“Tentacles that regenerate quickly even after being cut off! Isn’t it beautiful? You can even express delicate movements by sending signals to the tentacle’s nerves and manipulating them!”
And then, the researcher quickly approached me, grabbed my hand tightly, and handed me a bundle of research materials.
‘What is it..’
“Villain! No! Maker!! I don’t care if I die! Please use this child to commit terrorism!! With this, the heroes! To be exact, the female heroes! Let’s mess with Mechakkuchakk …
“…Okay, I will gratefully accept the research materials.”
There are times when I get really scared by the madness that comes with it, but it’s good because the quality of the results is high.
“Please give me a potion that increases my sensitivity by 3000x!!!!!!!!!”
“Please give me my research materials too!!!!”
“Please!!!!!”
“……”
..not sometimes?
As I turned my gaze, the man who had just introduced himself as the research team leader was sighing deeply.
“..Fuck, that’s why the results came out weird.”
Chu Seo-ho, a man who somehow felt a deep realization.
After the researchers under him finished their presentations, I turned my head and looked at him.
“Mr. Chu Seo-ho, I think you just need to show me now.”
“…Okay, I understand. Follow me.”
At my words, Chuseoho took the lead and headed to a certain location.
***
A space that emits a particularly ominous green light even in the dark underground.
Towering.
While I was walking down the street in silence, a man stopped in his tracks, looked back, and looked at me.
“Is something wrong?”
“…Maker. Do you unconditionally save anyone you like?”
Chu Seo-ho fixed his trembling eyes on me, a little seriously.
‘..I plan to kill them all.’
I’m thinking about it, but I can’t say it out loud.
“I usually keep my promises, but…”
“……”
“I’m having a hard time because there are more research materials that I like than I thought. I can’t save them all..”
I put my hand on my chin and pretended to think for a moment,
He chuckled with an exclamation of “Ah!”
“I think it would be okay to spare just one person, right?”
“…I see.”
Chu Seo-ho remains silent for a moment.
‘..?’
The moment I questioned it, Chu Seo-ho took a gun out of his coat and quickly pulled the trigger.
Taang!
“Huh, huh..? Huh? Hey, research team leader..?”
Towards the researchers, not me.
“Uh, huh…”
“I’m sorry.”
“AAAHHHH!!!!”
“Eeee!!!!”
Taang! Bang! Bang tang!!
“I have to live.”
bang!
Chu Seo-ho, who had killed all the researchers who were trying to escape late, quickly threw the gun on the ground and looked at me.
“Did you abandon the researchers who followed you in order to survive?”
“…Isn’t it inevitable to survive? When it is possible to eliminate unnecessary variables, it is the virtue of a researcher to eliminate them.”
“And what if what I said was a lie?”
“…I just trust the maker.”
‘It’s a joke.’
When I just shot the researchers with a gun, there was a split second when the gun barrel was pointed towards me.
Do you think I don’t notice that the gun twitches a little and then turns back towards the researchers?
‘It’s obvious that he acted as if nothing happened because he thought he couldn’t kill me.’
“..Okay, I understand. Let’s go in.”
It was a little absurd, but since I was going to kill him anyway, I figured it would be best to extract as much information as possible.
And I had to slowly prepare to meet the Ice Queen.
***
‘Where the hell is the maker?’
After his bomb sent him flying into an unknown place, the Ice Queen immediately set out to find him.
‘What the heck is this place?’
She was full of questions.
Of course, a normal research institute wouldn’t hide an underground research institute like this.
“Sigh..”
She took a moment to sigh at the current situation where she couldn’t understand English.
Taang! Bang! Bang tang!!
Gunshots were heard from afar.
‘maker?’
Ice Queen ran towards the direction where the sound came from.
A moment later, she arrived at a place where there were several corpses dressed in white gowns.
And the Ice Queen ran away, picking up the gun that was supposedly used as the weapon for the crime.
I feel a little sorry for the deceased, but there is nothing I can do.
‘I didn’t hear much gunfire, so it couldn’t have gone very far.’
Ice Queen started running again without even having time to catch her breath.
What she soon saw was…
“Maker?”
“Oh, Ice Queen. You finally made it this far.”
It was the sight of Maker pointing his gun at Research Team Leader Chu Seo-ho, who was guiding the heroes.
