“… I don’t know if that’s okay though.”
Seo Na-young looked at the two items in my hands with a worried expression and said.
The items she was looking at were two newly created artifacts. Each was an artifact with weak telepathy and body acceleration functions.
‘Even with telepathy and body acceleration, it only amounts to transmitting a short sentence to one person and speeding up by about 10% for a few minutes.’
Although it doesn’t have a great function, it was meaningful in that I was able to successfully create an artifact myself.
There were three villains I saved, but I successfully produced two artifacts. The first one failed due to lack of fine tuning.
‘It’s a shame. It would have been nice if the guy who tried it for the first time succeeded too.’
-Because we got data instead. Superpowers were nothing special either.
‘That’s right.’
I did not deny what Maria said. And I answered Seo Na-young.
“It would be better for these guys to contribute to society in this way rather than leaving them alive. Even if I save him, will he just run around doing stupid things again?”
“It’s not wrong, but… it’s okay! These are guys I didn’t like anyway. Because we’re not on the same side anymore.”
I intentionally didn’t show Seo Na-young the scene of making the artifact. Maybe that’s why she accepted it quickly.
Still, I think of myself as a hero in name and appearance, but showing a scene where a villain is ground up and turned into an artifact was a bit odd.
This is especially true in the sense that the process is truly apt to be called grinding.
‘If you fall for me more later, I’ll show you then.’
I just scouted him, but it’s a shame he’s only showing so bad.
Still, it was necessary to tell me in advance what I would do in the future.
“From now on, we will capture villains with useful superpowers and turn them into artifacts. Unlike others, even if you are treated like that, don’t worry too much because only the cheap ones will be used.”
“… Then, can I participate in the verification process?”
“Are you involved in the verification process?”
“Yes. If the opponent is subdued, hypnosis usually works. It makes you say directly how many bad things you have done.”
“It would be nice if you could help me.”
I readily accepted Seo Na-young’s offer. Although it may decrease over time, if you cover the whole world, there are a lot of villains.
There was no need to create an artifact that would disappoint her.
‘And it’s true that hypnosis makes things easier.’
Although it was clear that he would be released from hypnosis once full-scale stimulation was applied, it was easy to predict that the start of the experiment would become more comfortable.
However, although they said they would contribute to society, they had no intention of providing this technology to the government.
The government, greedy for artifacts, may launch a national-level hunt for psychics.
It doesn’t matter to me, but it’s difficult for Sister Lee and other psychics to be completely free from such danger.
To prevent such situations, the fewer people who know this information, the better.
For example, the villain organization that ran this research institute…
‘It’s time to get rid of the villain organization. Maria, have you finished organizing everything you asked me to investigate last time?’
What I am talking about here is that I previously ordered an investigation into the corruption of Kang Da-kyung’s mother, National Assembly member Kang Hye-won.
Since Kang Hye-won was the one behind the organization created by Kang Da-kyung and supporting them, it was necessary to tie her hands and feet to prevent her from doing tricks while handling the organization.
Maria answered confidently.
-Sure. Just pop it at any time.
‘Now let’s solve it. ‘Make it as much of an issue as possible so you don’t even have to worry about Japan.’
-Please leave it to me!
After giving Maria instructions, we swept up the equipment and various materials in the lab into our inventory. Of course, the huge amount of Starlight, which was the goal I was aiming for from the beginning, was a bonus.
I felt full as I put all the Starlight I had collected into my inventory.
‘Is this equivalent to the amount I’ve collected so far?’
Considering that the absolute amount of meteorites that fell in Japan was smaller than in Korea, it seemed that the villain organization did not bother the Self-Defense Forces for no reason.
Unless Maria’s body was to be made of pure starlight, it was more than enough.
And how did she know what I was thinking? As soon as she finished organizing the loot, Maria spoke to me again.
-It’s all over.
‘already? It must still be night in Korea too.’
-This kind of big news happens all day and night. From personal broadcasts to hero live and news channels. If necessary, I even hacked and distributed the data. I’m sure more than one person woke up because of me.
‘Oh.’
At that level, even in the eyes of people who were not interested in politics, it seemed like the news had been forced into the news.
I don’t know, but right now Kang Hye-won feels like she was struck by lightning in her sleep.
The preparations are roughly finished.
The lab, with all the important things taken away, was nothing but a shell. Now, the only value of this place was that it was built in a secret location.
It was an advantage that I did not regret not having.
I had Maria operate the passage leading to the ground. Then he looked back at Seo Na-young and said.
“Then shall we go to the show now?”
****
Meanwhile, the time when Minho was turning the lab upside down.
Kang Da-kyung discovered that something had gone wrong in the research lab.
Clap, clap, clap.
“… boss. The door to the lab doesn’t work. It looks like the door was broken from the other side.”
“… … .”
The executive said after seeing the doorknob that did not respond even when he turned it with the key.
“Is there an emergency signal from the lab?”
“None. If something happened that broke the door, a signal would definitely have been generated… ”
The prepared emergency signal didn’t come, but that didn’t stop the door to the lab from opening.
There is no way something unexpected could have happened in a lab that was running normally, so the fact that something like this happened meant that Ignis, who had visited the lab with Seo Na-young, had done something.
‘Was it a deliberate trick to get to the research institute?’
The villain organization, including Da-kyung Kang, did not know that Min-ho had a helper named Maria.
Because of this, they came to the conclusion that Ignis used his supernatural abilities to their full potential and wiped out the laboratory before the emergency signal was generated.
‘Are you saying that the psychic seal artifact and Seo Na-young’s hypnosis were activated before they were activated?’
In their view, it was an unreasonable assumption that Ignis had the world’s best hacking skills, took control of the research center, and even recruited Seo Na-young to the same side.
Arddeuk ㅡ
Perhaps all the research data collected so far may have been completely ashes. Kang Da-kyung gritted her teeth and gave instructions.
“Apostle.”
“Yes… ! Boss!”
“Take your clone and move to the other door leading to the lab.”
“Okay.”
“Take all your alter egos and go. If you miss Ignis even after seeing him, I will kill you myself.”
“… Yes.”
Apostle, who had no confidence to stop Ignis if he encountered him even if he mobilized all his clones, had no choice but to nod. Since the choice was given, it was wiser to hope not to encounter Ignis than to die at the hands of Kang Da-kyung right away.
The Apostle disappeared with his self-immolation, and Da-kyung Kang ordered his remaining subordinates to continue trying to open the door.
Perhaps the lab door was left open. In that case, it was necessary to immediately connect to the laboratory the moment it closed again.
‘I guess I’ll just have to wait.’
Kang Da-kyung, who showed impatience for a moment, calmed down.
I don’t know what she did, but in her eyes, Ignis was like a rat in a poison.
The function of the door was stopped in a state where it was impossible to escape to the ground without the boss’s access rights. If the door was really damaged, it would dry up and die in the laboratory.
‘Seo Na-young was useful… If we catch Ignis, we must first turn him into an artifact before the researchers’ hypnosis is broken.’
Kang Da-kyung had a headache thinking about losing the research institute. But this was nothing compared to the shock of the phone call that was about to come.
Wow~
Kang Da-kyung took out the vibrating cannon phone from her pocket. It was an item used only when communicating with her mother, Kang Hye-won.
just as expected. What appeared on the screen was a familiar phone number.
[010-xxxx-xxxx]
‘… mother?’
Kang Da-kyung felt something ominous.
The time is now a little past midnight.
Since there is no time difference between Korea and Japan, the fact that it was past midnight in Japan meant that Korea was also immersed in total darkness.
Normally, Kang Hye-won would have gone to bed early. It was clear something had happened.
“Did you answer the phone… … .”
-Ignis ugh!!!!! Kill Ignis right now!!!!!
Kang Hye-won’s heartbreaking screams were vividly transmitted through the speakers. For some reason, Kang Hyewon cried out Ignis’ name and shouted to kill him immediately.
Kwajikㅡ
Kang Da-kyung, hearing that desperate voice, grabbed the cannon phone tightly without even realizing it. It was the first time for her daughter, Kang Da-kyung, to see Kang Hye-won, who takes out insurance on everything, lose her composure to this extent.
