I looked at Shine while rubbing my butt.

She just stuck her tongue out with a very satisfied expression on her face.

“You…”

“Shh. Jeff. We’re on a mission.”

I kept my mouth shut at Shine’s words.

I just glared at her without saying a word.

Biting my butt, she really was a scary sister.

Either way, the teeth marks would have been clear.

I cried and shook off the dust from my body.

Phew- Phew.

Heavy breathing irritates my ears.

I followed the sound and looked around.

There, Rain was crouching down, covering his face.

The slightly visible ears were dyed red.

Why is Rain doing that again?

I sighed in frustration.

“Everyone will move to the next location.”

I said, glaring at Shine.

If I ever have to go through a tight space like this, I will never take the lead.

Shine smiled silently.

I took the toy car out of my bag.

To get to the next location, I had to go through that hallway guarded by guards.

It meant that something was needed to attract their attention.

The bright red car that Mary had made looked really attractive.

This car would definitely attract the attention of those security guards.

I thought so and rolled the car forward.

A car rolls down the smooth hallway, passing the security guards.

But contrary to my expectations, the guards didn’t even blink or give me a glance.

I bit my lip when I saw that sight.

This is not right.

I never thought they’d be people who hate cars.

I took another toy out of my bag.

This time it was an airplane.

The plane with the classic propeller was really attractive.

This thing is cooler than that car, so the security guards will definitely leave their seats to get this plane.

“Jeff. Do you really think that’ll get the guards’ attention?”

“Yeah.”

I rolled the plane to the ground as I answered Shine’s words.

This aircraft, which had no flying capabilities, had to be rolled on the ground like a car.

The plane, which had been rolling down the hallway, stopped right in front of the security guards as if it were a lie.

I clasped my hands together and prayed.

Please, please, let there be even a shred of childlike innocence in the hearts of those adults.

I wonder if my prayers got through.

One of the guards stepped forward and picked up the plane.

At that moment, his gaze turned to where I and Shine Rain were hiding.

I quickly hid behind a large flower pot.

Fortunately, he didn’t seem to be caught, but he looked puzzled as to why the plane had rolled toward him.

“Hmm.”

Shine watched me quietly, then touched her forehead and got up.

I looked at her with urgent eyes.

If I suddenly got up, I would definitely be caught by the security guards.

The moment she thought that, Shine’s eyes began to turn black.

“It’s okay.”

“What…?”

“It means Jeff’s plan worked.”

I slightly lifted my head with a puzzled expression at Shine’s words.

Looking outside, I could see the security guards having fun with cars and airplanes.

I covered my mouth at the ugly sight.

It was really unpleasant to see a grown man playing with a vroom vroom car.

The guard who picked up the plane was also ugly.

Wheein- Wheein-

He was moving the plane in the air, making noise with his mouth.

The guards start to move away, more and more.

“Did you see it?”

“I guess everyone really liked the toys…”

“Yeah.”

I muttered something softly to Shine and got out of the flower pot.

Rain also just opened his mouth in a daze, as if he couldn’t believe what he had just seen.

Anyway, it worked out well for us.

I moved quickly.

I run down a long hallway and stop at the corner.

Peek your head out and check that no one else is around.

When you feel safe, get out and run again.

As I was running like that, I was able to arrive at the area dividing the hallway and the hallway.

The door dividing the area was firmly shut, and judging by the scanners next to it, it seemed that only researchers of a certain rank or higher were allowed to pass through.

I hid my body and stared at the door for a long time.

How much time has passed like that?

A beep- beep- sound was heard from the closed door, and then the door slid open.

There were two people walking out from inside the door.

One was Lucas, who I had seen upstairs earlier, and the other was someone I clearly remembered.

A familiar face.

A gruff expression.

Light steps.

Even a strangely annoying feeling.

It was definitely the telekinetic who had escaped from the last Victor.

Rain and Shine also seemed to notice the fact and looked at them with stiff expressions.

The expressions on both their faces were not very good.

A face distorted with annoyance.

Lucas opened his mouth as he looked at the young man walking next to him.

“Wow- Do you think this makes sense?”

“Has that guy been doing this for a day or two? He just orders anyone around because he’s there.”

I opened my mouth blankly.

The name of the young man walking next to Lucas somehow lingered in my mouth.

My eyes tremble at the feeling that is familiar yet unfamiliar.

At that moment, a small hand grabbed my hand tightly.

Small and soft feeling.

It was Shine’s hand.

“Jeff. The door is open.”

“Ah. Yeah.”

I watched the two people moving away and then moved my body.

Thanks to Lucas opening the door, I no longer need to use my powers to break the door.

As I passed the door, I kept looking back.

The backs of the two people walking away from each other somehow lingered in my mind.

“That guy just now, wasn’t he the guy who ran away last time?”

“Yeah…”

I nodded to Rain’s words.

Lastly, the guy who took doping drugs and ran away with incredible abilities.

Seeing him here, it seemed he had definitely come to the right place.

I fiddled with the small button in my pocket.

As I walked down the long hallway, I felt a sense of familiarity with this place for some reason.

A sense of foreboding.

Deja vu.

I had a feeling I’d been here before.

I started to move following that feeling.

“Jeff. You didn’t put the sticker on?”

“Ah, uh. I have to paste it.”

I shook my head at Rain’s words and took out the sticker.

As I was walking absentmindedly, it seemed like I had forgotten to put on the stickers.

As I was taping stickers on the wall, I was able to discover a door.

This was the first room I found when I came in here.

We quickly ran there.

Fortunately, there were no security guards around.

I pressed against the door and looked around.

I tried pushing and pulling the door, but it wouldn’t open.

“What do you think?”

“It’s locked. I don’t think it’ll open.”

“Then I have to go into the vent again?”

“I guess…”

I glared at her, answering Shine’s words.

This time, I will absolutely not go first.

It was clear that he was going to bite my butt again.

Shine licked her tongue at my gaze as if she was disappointed.

And at that moment, a small sound began to be heard from inside the door.

Footsteps.

It was the sound of shoes clicking together.

I quickly started running, leading Shine and Rain’s bodies.

I run down the white hallway and lean against the corner.

After that, he sticks his head out slightly and looks at the door.

The person who came out of the door was an ordinary-looking man.

He, who had some meat on his body, walked forward, munching on the jelly donut he was holding in his hand.

We started moving again.

I had to get into that room before the door closed.

Run without making any sound of footsteps.

As a result, we were able to enter the room just before the door closed.

“Sigh…”

I sighed in relief as I watched the door close.

I couldn’t get a good look at the face of the person who ran out of the room because I was running so fast, but that wasn’t the important thing.

I looked around the room.

An ordinary desk with papers scattered messily on it.

And a sweet smell wafted through the room.

Sniff sniff.

Rain and Shine were also sniffing, perhaps sensing the scent.

I moved as if entranced by the sweet smell.

He approaches the large desk and traces the source of the smell.

The moment my absentmindedly moved hand opened the drawer, an even stronger sugar smell came out from inside.

The inside of the drawer was filled with all kinds of sweet snacks.

Chocolate on jelly donut.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that all the fattening foods were gathered together.

“Jeff. Grab the snacks later. We’re on a mission.”

“Ah, uh.”

But somehow it felt familiar.

I felt like I had been to a place like this a few times before.

Even as he answered Shine’s words, his head tilted.

Shine, Rain, and I each split up and started looking through the papers.

Dense documents filled with difficult words.

As I pushed the stack of documents aside, the photographs inside spilled out.

I picked up the photo and looked at it.

Photos of children in white gowns.

It wasn’t just one person.

There were pictures of dozens of children.

Most of them had helpless eyes and had numbers on their clothes.

“This, is this it…”

It seemed like I had some solid evidence.

As I approached Shine with the photo, she seemed to have found something too, holding a document in her hand and her eyes were shining.

“Doesn’t it seem certain?”

“Yeah.”

At Shine’s words, I took a button out of my pocket.

Now, if we press this button, the Jin who received the coordinates will warp in front of us.

I called out to Rain, who was running around blushing, and made him stand behind me.

“Press!”

Hold!

Press and hold the small button with your thumb.

And wait.

But no matter how long I waited, the warp was not created.

A question mark appears in the eyes of me, Shine, and Rain.

“Oh.”

Knock knock knock-

I kept pressing the button just in case.

But the result was the same.

This time, Shine and Rain also took out their buttons and started pressing them.

An object that has the same functions as mine.

But as expected, the result was the same.

Nothing happened.

“Is it broken…?”

And that was the moment.

A creaking sound began to be heard from the closed door.

I grabbed Shine and Rain with urgent movements and threw myself under the desk.

A cold sweat runs down my back.

There was more than one person who entered the room.

Lucas and the telekinesis guy were together.

“Doctor~”

“This guy is out again?”

“Where did you go after ordering me to do the work?”

I held my breath.

I even covered my mouth and nose for fear that my breathing might escape.

Shine and Rain were no different from me.

The three of us hid under the desk and shivered.

“Hoo-”

Lucas let out a deep sigh and began picking up the papers that had fallen to the floor.

“Even if you pick it up, it’ll be the same in a few hours. That’s because you don’t know how to organize.”

“But if someone sees it, it’ll be a big deal.”

“What’s the big deal? Are there any other people who can come here besides us?”

“That’s true, but…”

Lucas’ hand, picking up the documents, begins to get closer.

I started to secretly push the papers that had fallen under the desk out.

Knock knock knock.

My heart is pounding.

Because I was so nervous, sweat was running down my forehead.

I looked at the approaching hand and raised my power.

No, that’s what I was trying to do.

Dismissal-

A faint electric shock spreads from his hand.

ah.

The ability does not come out.

I’ve had a similar feeling before.

It felt similar to when I was wearing the ability suppression bracelet.

Shine and Rain seemed to feel the same way as me.

The moment I confirmed the two girls’ greatly embarrassed eyes, Lucas’ large head suddenly appeared under the desk.

“No, why are the documents under the desk… Huh?”

Lucas’ eyes widened.

He looked at the three of us with trembling eyes.

Cannot use ability.

That meant that they had to be subdued by pure physical strength.

I flew straight away.

Shine and Rain followed me.

“Eww!”

He climbs on top of the screaming Lucas and starts strangling his neck with his legs.

You absolutely must not miss it!

I desperately grabbed Lucas’ face.

Scratching, hitting, and biting with teeth.

But he didn’t release his legs.

Thump thump thump thump

He beat his head with his fist.

Lucas, who had been standing there, staggering, eventually collapses to the floor as if his strength had run out.

“Ugh- Ugh.”

Lucas grabs my leg that is strangling him and squeezes out the last of his strength.

But I hold on.

Keep holding on.

Never let go.

For some reason, I couldn’t use my abilities in this room.

That means Lucas and that telekinetic guy are no different.

Lucas finally gives up, his hands sliding away.

The moment I got up from my seat to see him lying on his stomach, Rain and Shine flew near me and fell.

“Ugh…”

Rain groans, holding his stomach as if in pain.

Shine, who had fallen to the floor, was getting up, wiping the blood flowing from her lips.

I looked straight ahead.

If you can’t use your abilities here, the awareness bracelet won’t work either.

Since I recognized him, it was obvious that he would recognize me as well.

“Ha-”

He looked at me and laughed incredulously.

“You didn’t come here to come back, did you?”

His voice, mixed with laughter, flew towards me.
