The villain who walked hurriedly found us looking into the laboratory. This was because he did not hide his appearance at all.
“What is it? Who on earth… Executive?”
The villain who was pointing a gun at me stopped when he saw Seo Na-young. There is no way he doesn’t know the face of Seo Na-young, the executive in charge of managing the laboratory, and he probably didn’t expect her appearance at all because it was her first time setting foot in this bloody laboratory.
Seo Na-young, whose mind was confused by what she heard from me, answered while wiggling her fingers.
“Uh, yes… ”
“What brings you here? Even if you are an executive, access to this place is restricted. Who is the man next to you? Could this be a prostitute that the boss put in for us to enjoy?”
‘What a fun guy.’
Judging by his attitude, he didn’t really think that way, but because he saw I was wearing a suit, he guessed that I was a hero and started an argument.
Seo Na-young furrowed her eyebrows, probably annoyed by the guy ignoring me.
“Ignis has decided to cooperate with our organization. I’m currently looking into labs for that. Since you are a guest of the organization, be careful what you say.”
“Cooperation with heroes? But there was no word from the boss… ”
“Do you think I should report this to each security guard? You have to know the topic.”
“… I understand first.”
The guy looked a bit dissatisfied with the idea of letting a hero wander around the lab, but he came to terms with it and went back to monitoring the researchers. But I caught that villain.
“Hey.”
“What is it?”
“From now on, you are here to guide me. Since the only thing I do after eating seems to be watching the researchers, it’s better than nothing.”
“In that case, it would be better to ask the researchers… ”
“You look busy just by looking at it, why bother? It’s not like you’re doing anything important anyway.”
“… … .”
The villain did not answer but looked at Seo Na-young. However, she took my side over the villain subordinate whose name I did not know.
“Do as you are told.”
In the end, the villain had no choice but to frown and become our guide.
Even though she didn’t have much to do with Seo Na-young since her main place of work was hidden behind iron gates, she was nominally an executive in charge of managing the research institute. There was no way that the guy who was barely in charge of security could refuse her orders.
I said, nudging Seo Na-young’s shoulder as she walked ahead.
“Oh… Do you have charisma? He’s kind of scary to his subordinates?”
“Don’t play around… !”
Seo Na-young twirled her arms and brushed off my fingers. However, contrary to the tone of speech, the twitching of the corners of the mouth was not a reaction of genuine dislike.
We followed the guide while joking around like that. It wasn’t something you would do in a horror movie-like research lab. However, Seo Na-young, who was only shocked for a moment but was not weak, recovered quickly, and I was not shocked at all, so it didn’t matter.
The villain we used as a guide surprisingly knew a lot about the lab. He said it was because he was the most senior person here, even if it was only for a few weeks.
Considering that I’m probably not going to tell you everything because I’m a hero, it wasn’t strange if I knew more.
I don’t know if the boss, Kang Da-kyung, was trying to take advantage of them and kill them, but seeing as the security guard knew roughly what kind of experiments were going on, there wasn’t anything that could be called security in the lab.
All that was done was that only designated people were given a ‘key’ that allowed them to enter the laboratory.
‘I think that’s enough.’
According to the guide, before crossing the iron gate, it was for a business to be held in the sunny area in a neat-looking area. They are attempting to create a drug with effects that do not exist in reality by mixing Starlight, the blood of a psychic, and various drugs.
As I listened to that explanation, something suddenly occurred to me.
‘Isn’t that a perfect potion?’
Just a potion. Maybe it was closer to an elixir. That was exactly the explanation, except that they were trying to make it with the blood of a psychic.
‘It won’t be of much use. Even if you don’t have to make a potion with human blood, you can get it as much as you want by entering the tower.’
“The Yakuza we saw earlier is an ordinary person with no superpowers. He was a member of a Yakuza organization that failed his mission, and volunteered to participate in the experiment in order to be punished.”
“It didn’t seem like he volunteered much.”
“Because my feelings are different when I go into the bathroom and when I come out. If you survive thanks to the organization’s mercy, you have to pay the price even if you don’t like it.”
“What mission did you fail?”
“It is a Yakuza organization called Kuroikazekai, and I heard that one of its villains was arrested by the hero not long ago. The instructions were to just stay hidden, but when they went out, they were arrested and their information was exposed, so it’s worth it to end up like that. Thanks to this, the number of test subjects has increased, so it’s not a bad thing. The entire organization is waiting to be used in the experiment.”
“… … .”
I somehow felt like I knew who the villain who had been arrested was. He must have been wearing an exoskeleton suit that resembled that of an insect.
There was no need to say that I was the one who sent those guys here, so I changed the conversation.
“Kuhm… What we are looking for is a place to study artifacts. Let’s visit there first.”
The guide obediently led us deeper. I passed by a laboratory where unidentifiable mechanical noises and screams were coming from and entered deep into the laboratory.
The inside was in a cleaner condition than the entrance. The clean area became larger than the dirty area, and a lot of the smell disappeared.
And in the laboratory located at the end, I had an unexpected encounter.
“… … .”
“Uh, that really doesn’t work. Executive, can I stop you from doing that?”
The guide said something to stop me, but I didn’t hear it. For some reason, one of the closed laboratories caught my eye.
Cheeek… Clap!
Without fail, I melted the thick lock and opened the door.
The interior of the laboratory was not as spacious as other places. A small room similar to a studio. Looking at the thick cushion-like padding on the walls, floor, and ceiling, it appeared to be a device to prevent the trapped person from harming himself.
A room structured like something you would see in a mental hospital.
In the center was a man with long hair. He slowly raised his head from his straitjacket.
I made eye contact with him through my messy hair.
“… … .”
I knew it instinctively. That man is the original protagonist of Namhira World.
I don’t know how someone like that was kidnapped and imprisoned by a villain organization, but maybe the first time I took a meteorite was because of a snowball rolling.
“Get out! No one except the boss is allowed in here! It’s a place related to ‘keys’! This is not acceptable even if you are an executive!”
“Key?”
‘Wasn’t the key made by someone with space travel abilities?’
The guide said something strange.
In the original work, the main character’s superpower is simple but powerful physical strengthening. It wasn’t a sophisticated superpower like space movement.
But I immediately shook my head.
‘No. I don’t even understand why the main character is being held here right now. The type of supernatural power awakened may be different.’
Except for simple background information about the original work, accuracy decreases over time. Even if you only hold on to the original knowledge and deny reality, nothing will change.
At that time, he made eye contact with me and spoke in a low voice.
“Kill me… ”
It was a voice that was barely audible thanks to the sound of cracking and wind leaking.
‘It looks like you’ve been subjected to quite a few experiments.’
Well, from the organization’s perspective, it was worth actively experimenting with because it was already in good use and it was a superpower that could be most useful when made into an artifact.
I also felt a little sorry for the main character. Anyway, he was a character in the work and a man I had no interest in, but in the end, if I hadn’t taken the meteorite, this might not have happened.
But that was all.
It’s not something I specifically intended, and I’m not weak enough to care about such things.
Still, since he is the main character, I wanted to grant him a favor. It was never because I wanted to cause trouble in the organization.
“Sseu-eup… I tried to use the tissue more slowly. Well, let’s just take the materials we have now.”
Clap~
“You, you… ! What are you doing now… !”
In an instant, a pistol popped out of the inventory and the villain in charge of the guide shouted in surprise.
I pulled the trigger without even pretending to hear.
Bang!
“… … .”
Shake it~
The protagonist with a hole in his forehead fell sideways. He had a somewhat relieved expression.
If I had known this would happen, I would have found out what he was up to and killed him sooner.
When I think about it, with the exception of Baek Geon and Kim Jae-yoon, whom I had by my side, the main characters of other works were likely to end up in a worse situation than the original because of my intervention. Should we say that the role of the main character is taken away?
This was something that could not be helped unless I went into hiding somewhere and blocked myself from getting involved in the story. However, I also go to travel destinations with my own purpose, so I can’t live like a rat.
Then, since you never know when you might end up with a miserable fate like this guy, it seemed like it would be a mercy to kill him in the early stages.
‘Right, Maria?’
I waited for Maria’s familiar answer, but I didn’t hear an answer.
‘Maria… ?’
There was still no response.
Since I killed the space-moving superpower, I was planning on spraying nanobots and disappearing, but things went a little wrong.
Weeing, weeing,
As soon as the gunshot sounded, the white lights turned completely red and an emergency bell rang throughout the lab.
It seemed like the villains who were elsewhere heard the gunfire and went into a state of alert.
As I turned, I saw the villain pointing a rifle at my chest and pulling the trigger.
Bang!
