Episode 108
gate.
monster.
And scream.
My body reacted before I could judge the situation.
Sihyeon kicked down the door of the provincial office and ran to the elevator.
I pressed the button, but when I looked at the floor number, it stopped at the 3rd floor.
Without hesitation, I took the card key out of my pocket and went towards the staircase entrance.
I opened the door and quickly ran down the stairs.
As I walked down the stairs, I thought about what had happened.
A monster came out from the gate and killed the employee.
That was all we could learn from the report from TRS.
I was full of questions as to why this suddenly happened, but that wasn’t important right now.
I don’t know which monsters have appeared and how many, but this is undoubtedly a serious situation.
If something is not done quickly, more employees may lose their lives to monsters.
Sihyeon had already run down to the first floor, unlocked the door with her card key, and quickly ran down the hallway.
The security department office was on the second floor of the building next to Sadong.
First I had to go to the security department office.
The director and deputy director were not in the facility due to external schedules.
The third person in command at other stations was the head of the general affairs department, but at the special detention center it was the head of the security department.
This was because he considered his position as the general manager of Sadong, where the awakened people were imprisoned, very important.
In short, the highest commanding authority in this emergency situation was the current head of the security department.
Sihyeon passed through the first floor hallway and went to the next building.
Then he ran up to the second floor at full speed.
I opened the locked door on the second floor and ran to the security department office.
“What the hell is going on!”
“Did you ask the Hunter Association for help?”
“What’s the situation outside? How on earth is it going outside?”
Security and the office were a mess.
It was confusion itself.
The employees were fidgeting with thoughtful faces.
This would be natural since this would be the first time they had experienced such an emergency situation.
All the guards had to do was take good care of the prisoners.
I couldn’t help but be confused by the monsters that suddenly appeared.
Everyone seemed at a loss.
The head of the security department also had a serious look on his face.
But he at least seemed to be trying to remain calm.
The heavy responsibility on his shoulders was pushing him to come to his senses.
“Secretary Kim, what did the Hunter Association say?”
The security manager asked.
“I contacted nearby hunters and said I would try to dispatch personnel somehow. But….”
“But what?”
“No matter how much I hurry, it’ll probably take about an hour….”
Seo Mu bit his lip with a gloomy face.
“1 hours?”
“Here, 1 o’clock is urgent, so 1 hour? This is a disaster!”
Even though it was in front of the security manager, someone cursed.
The desperate atmosphere was weighing on people.
“Try calling the front door again.”
The head of the security department gave instructions.
From here, I couldn’t really see what was going on outside.
I needed to understand the information to make the right decision.
The security chief quickly caught TRS.
“Can you hear the front door worker?”
-Yes, I can hear you!
The voice of the front gate worker sounded urgent.
“How’s the situation there?”
-Monsters keep roaming around! It’s killing people! Please give me instructions quickly on what to do… . Uh, huh?!
Thump thump!
The sound of something crashing loudly was heard beyond the TRS.
The employees’ complexions suddenly darkened.
There were also employees whose bodies were shaking.
This was because I realized that the monster was trying to break down the front door.
“Hey, are you okay?”
The security chief quickly asked.
-It’s okay, it’s okay. A monster is knocking on the front door, but there is nothing wrong with the front door. I also checked the lock status several times.
Phew.
Sighs of relief flowed from everywhere.

The main entrance to the special detention center was not made haphazardly.
Because it was assumed that the awakened would not be able to escape, the main gate was specially made with an extremely thick iron gate.
To prevent Woldam, the fence was very high and strong.
No matter how many monsters it was, it would be difficult to break into a facility like this.
That meant that it would be safe as long as the front door was tightly locked and stayed here.
but.
The only thing safe was inside the front door.
Employees in external departments, such as the general affairs department or civil affairs department, were exposed to enormous risk.
-How do I do this?
The front gate worker asked again.
The security chief looked at the security manager as if waiting for instructions.
The security manager closed his eyes heavily and then opened his mouth.
“Keep checking the lock thoroughly and tell them never to open the door. Even if an employee asks you to open it, ignore it and never open it. Never. Never open it unless I tell you to.”
The security chief relayed the security manager’s instructions to the front gate worker.
The employees looked relieved despite the tension at the security manager’s instructions.
It was because he thought he was alive.
It was then.
“…What about the employees outside?”
A female employee with a pale face raised her hand and said.
He looked like he was about to cry at any moment.
The security manager looked at the female employee with a heavy face.
“Unfortunately, there is nothing we can do. All we can do is wait for help from the Hunter Association.”
“That’s… black… Seoyoon, what should I do….”
The female employee eventually burst into tears.
She heard someone talking about an old friend of hers in the civil affairs department.
“Monsters… what kind of monsters are they? Are they at a level that our employees can’t deal with?”
An employee spoke cautiously.
There are hunters among the special detention center staff.
Even though 90% were low-level hunters below D level.
“I saw it for a while, but it is definitely not a low-level monster. It is not at a level that our cattle can handle.”
The duty chief, a C-rank hunter, shook his head and said.
“okay….”
The hall became quiet again.
Sihyeon was watching the situation with thoughtful eyes.
The security manager’s judgment was not wrong.
Now, the head of the security department is in charge of all employees inside the main gate.
If the wrong decision was made with a weak sense of justice, the lives of numerous employees could have been put in danger.
It was right to make a decision that prioritized safety as much as possible.
The answer to the question of whether employees who were not awakened had survived the monsters until now was negative.
Trying to open the front door and get out to save the employees outside who may or may not be alive or dead is crazy.
Clearly, up to this point, Sihyeon also agreed with the security manager’s judgment.
It was best if we could hold out inside the main gate until help from the hunters arrived.
But for some reason, there was something that bothered me.
More information was needed.
Sihyeon left the security department office and started running toward the front door.
◈ ◈ ◈
At first I thought it was a prank call.
Is it possible to say that a monster jumped out of the gate?
After the initial gate crisis, there were no monsters jumping out of the gates in Korea and causing damage to citizens.
This was because hunters went in before that to clear the gate.
However, the voice of the caller continued to be serious and urgent.
Identity and name were also clearly stated.
Who is the secretary of the Ganghwa Island Special Detention Center?
When I checked the calling phone number, it was clearly a special detention center.
Only then did the staff at the Hunter Association feel that something was unusual.
There is no way a public official belonging to a state agency would make a prank call by revealing his identity and real name.
Soon this matter was hastily reported to superiors.
And after a while, the Hunter Association, which was in a leisurely mood preparing to leave work, went into an uproar.
The employees were busy holding their cell phones and making urgent calls to hunters.
Neither the military nor the police are of use at the gate.
Only with a hunter could the problem be solved.
That is why they were trying hard to gather hunters who could be urgently dispatched to Ganghwa Island.
“Quickly, make a list of available items and post them!”
Team leader Seo Yong-gil urged the employees.
There was no time to delay.
In the meantime, Ganghwa Island will become an island of death.
This is because the monsters were wild beasts crazy about killing.
“You still can’t fly the helicopter?”
“Yes, I just called and they said it was impossible due to bad weather….”
“Oh my god, damn it.”
Team leader Seo frowned.
If only a helicopter could be launched, it would be possible to select elite agents of the Hunter Association and dispatch them to Ganghwado Island urgently.
However, a blizzard hit Seoul at the time, making it impossible to use a helicopter.
In this case, the only way was to somehow rally the hunters and send them out.
“If you get a call from the detention center again, report it to me right away.”
“All right.”
◈ ◈ ◈
Arriving at the front door, Sihyeon placed his finger on the fingerprint reader.
But the door didn’t open.
It seemed like they had probably manipulated it somehow so that it could never be opened unless it was opened from the inside.
Bang bang.
Sihyeon knocked on the door.
“Who are you?”
Even though he knew it was inside and not outside, the front door employee’s voice was trembling.
It seemed like he was so scared.
“This is Lee Si-hyeon, the head of the 6th floor security department. Please open the door.”
“Chief Sihyeon Lee? I understand.”
Although it hadn’t been that long since she worked at the special detention center, Sihyeon was already a celebrity.
He was already famous within the group for his involvement in detention order, and he deserved it since he even caught the death row inmate Kang Tae-eun, who had caused an uproar in the media.
Soon the door opened.
“thank you.”
Sihyeon said hello and entered the security post at the main gate.
Even at a glance, you could tell that the atmosphere at the front gate was one of panic.
Even now, there is a loud banging noise coming from the front door.
It wasn’t just the front door.
Coo! Coo!
A constant sound could be heard from afar, as if the wall was constantly being pounded.
The employees were cowering in the corner with frozen expressions.
Sihyeon understood their feelings.
They are not hunters, they are just ordinary prison guards.
It would have been even stranger to see a hideous monster right in front of me and still be okay.
Sihyeon approached the place where the CCTV monitor was located.
But the screen was blank.
“Surely the camera is broken?”
“Yes… when the monster was making a fuss earlier….”
Unfortunately, when the monster knocked on the iron door and started a rampage, the surveillance camera on top of the iron door was hit and broke.
“Well, I see.”
Sihyeon began walking slowly toward the iron gate.
For security reasons, the special detention center did not have a reinforced glass wall at the main gate that could be seen outside.
So, now that there were no cameras, the only way to see outside was through a small gap in the iron door.
“Chief, Chief?!”
“are you okay.”
The employee called out in surprise, but Sihyeon answered calmly and peered outside through the gap in the iron door.
In his field of vision, a monster was seen pounding hard on the iron door outside.
‘Oak?’
It was a monster I had seen during raids.
The appearance was definitely similar.
But the only thing similar was their appearance.
The body itself was much larger than the orcs that Sihyeon had seen so far.
He seemed to be nearly 2 meters tall, and his forearms and thighs seemed to be twice as thick.
It seemed like even a knife wouldn’t go through the lumpy muscles properly.
The energy emanating from the body was also on a different level.
It was emitting a much more dangerous and strong energy.
‘That’s not an ordinary orc.’
Ordinary orcs were just mid-level monsters that appeared from C-level gates.
But that wasn’t that kind of monster.
It felt like at least one level higher level monster.
thud! Coo!
“Hehe….”
The employees were pale and frightened at the sound of the orc pounding on the iron door with terrifying force.
However, Sihyeon was not shaken at all.
He narrowed his eyes and seemed to be thinking about something.
‘I’m sure those orcs won’t be able to break through here. however… .’
There is a boss at the gate.
And the boss had much stronger power than regular monsters.
The boss of a gate with that many monsters would have quite strong power.
That bothered me.
Sihyeon bit her lip with a displeased expression and started running back to the security department office.
