Episode 137
“Ugh!”
The guard who was ambushed lost consciousness without even realizing that he was being attacked.
When you open your eyes again, you might think you dozed off and lost consciousness.
Kang Jin-hyeok took the fallen security guard’s wallet from his pocket.
“Are you going to rip it off even if it’s for a bribe?”
“What the hell are you doing? You’re going to extort small amounts of money from a salaryman and use it for something.”
As Kang Jin-hyeok had expected, the access pass was kept in his wallet along with his ID card.
Kang Jin-hyeok, who had taken the access card, put the security guard’s wallet back in his pocket.
“Can I go underground with just this?”
“I guess I can use it until the security level gets higher.”
“How far does that go?”
“entrance.”
Entry was only possible with the security level of a single security guard, and entry above that was impossible.
To enter the lab properly, a higher security level pass was required.
Kang Jin-hyeok was dumbfounded and said, “Then, wasn’t it a useless thing?”
“Then how did you plan to get in next?”
“Of course I was planning on stealing the pass there again.”
“If that’s the case, it would have been better to have taken it from someone with a higher security clearance from the beginning.”
“Those kinds of people don’t come out of the basement very often.”
The association’s researchers are obsessed with research, so most of them live in underground facilities.
So Yoo Hye-seong had no choice but to find the security guard and enter the entrance first.
“Something feels fishy… … Are you sure that’s the right way to do it?”
“If you don’t believe me, then just stop now. I don’t care.”
Kang Jin-hyeok couldn’t stop here, just like Yoo Hye-seong said.
Entering the underground facility and extracting evidence that would overthrow the Society was his condition for joining the Pantheon.
“No, what I’m saying is, wouldn’t it be better to take some more time and plan instead of going through all this trouble?”
“If not now, there will be no chance.”
“why?”
“Why, why? Of course it’s because you completely destroyed the association headquarters.”
Yoo Hye-seong claimed that now was the perfect time to infiltrate the lab, as the association’s personnel had been drastically reduced and security had been relaxed for recovery efforts.
Kang Jin-hyeok had nothing more to say because there was some truth to that argument.
“Yeah… … . If that’s what you’re saying, then that must be it.”
Kang Jin-hyeok, who had given up, gave up thinking further and went along with Yoo Hye-seong’s plan.
If he did as he was told and failed, it would be Yoo Hye-seong’s fault. Kang Jin-hyeok had nothing to lose.
“wait for a sec.”
As they were entering the association to go to the underground facility, Yoo Hye-seong stopped Kang Jin-hyeok from walking.
“Why all of a sudden?”
“There’s a device in front of me that I’ve never seen before.”
When I turned my gaze to where Yoo Hye-seong had pointed with his finger, I saw a suspicious object stuck next to the door.
“What is it used for?”
“How would I know that? I told you I didn’t even remember it.”
“hmm…….”
The number of security guards protecting the association has been greatly reduced due to Kang Jin-hyeok’s chaos.
The association introduced several alarm devices to prevent security from becoming vulnerable as a result.
The device attached next to the door was one of them.
“If only I knew how it worked, I could get through it.”
Kang Jin-hyeok wanted to enter the underground research lab without leaving any traces.
However, it was not easy to devise countermeasures against a device whose purpose was unknown.
“I can’t help it.”
Yoo Hye-seong felt that she needed to play a role that would attract attention in order to get through here.
“Someone has to be the bait.”
“Are you going to do it?”
“If I become bait, how are you going to get to the underground lab? I’m the only one who knows the structure.”
“So you’re telling me to step forward?”
“That’s not it. It would be difficult for me, who is still not fully recovered, to infiltrate alone.”
“Then what on earth do you want to do?”
“To take advantage of other people.”
At the place Yoo Hye-seong pointed to with his eyes, there was a guard who had passed out.
Kang Jin-hyeok roughly guessed what Yoo Hye-seong was trying to do.
* * *
Hearing the alarm going off, the guards hurriedly gathered their gear and ran outside.
“Who are you!”
“Turn on the lights quickly and find who it is!”
When the pre-installed lights were turned on, the entrance to the association became as bright as day.
The guards found the figure lying helplessly under the bright lights.
“That, that!”
The guards discovered their fallen comrade and rushed over.

“I feel like I was taken by surprise.”
“I know that when I see it! Where did the culprit go?”
“It looks like they escaped without being able to enter because the alarm went off!”
“Spread out quickly and find them!”
The guards formed groups of three or five and dispersed in all directions as instructed.
“I didn’t know there would be this much of a fuss over a security guard falling down.”
“I guess I came to my senses after getting ripped off once.”
Kang Jin-hyeok and Yoo Hye-seong, who were hiding behind a wall where the light couldn’t reach, took advantage of the moment when the guards’ attention was focused elsewhere and entered the building.
“Are you sure you won’t get caught if you go in like this?”
“Well, I thought they’d turn off the alarm for a little while so the guards could get through the entrance… … .”
“This is a plan based solely on guesswork.”
“Right. If that doesn’t work, we’ll have to find another way.”
As Yoo Hye-seong spoke calmly, Kang Jin-hyeok held his forehead.
I never thought there could be someone who was more reckless than me.
“What about CCTV?”
“I know all the locations, so just use the blind spots.”
As Yoo Hye-seong prided himself on being a genius, he had a memory that was several times better than that of ordinary people.
While he was transformed into a monster, he had five senses that were several times more developed, so he was able to grasp the entire structure of the Association headquarters.
“This way.”
Yoo Hye-seong grabbed Kang Jin-hyeok and pushed him close to the wall.
Since then, I have fallen to the floor several times and jumped high enough to touch the ceiling.
He went beyond the CCTV’s range by performing all kinds of acrobatic movements.
It was an extremely tiring method of entry, but thanks to it, Kang Jin-hyeok was able to reach the entrance to the underground research lab without being caught.
[Confirmed.]
When I used the pass I took from the security guard, the entrance that had been tightly closed opened to the left and right.
Unlike the concrete walls of the association, the underground research lab was covered in iron from the entrance.
“If I get caught, it won’t end with just being interrogated.”
It was a facility that looked suspicious at first glance.
Since it was a place that the association never opened to the public, I had no idea what was inside.
“You’re going to see all sorts of things you shouldn’t see, so you’d better be prepared.”
Yoo Hye-seong’s expression was frozen solid.
Having personally experienced the atrocities committed by the lab, his words carried a weight that could not be ignored.
“I guess you’ve seen a lot of tough times.”
“If I could, I would just smash everything here and get out.”
Yoo Hye-seong gritted her teeth and expressed her emotions without hiding them.
“You really shouldn’t do that.”
“I know. Just get the data and I’ll quietly step down.”
However, Yoo Hye-seong firmly vowed that one day he would blow up this entire research institute.
* * *
Once I entered the lab, I didn’t have to worry much about security.
Compared to the tight security at headquarters, there wasn’t even a single CCTV inside the lab.
“That’s because we can’t leave behind any evidence.”
As Yoo Hye-seong said, the association did its best to avoid leaving evidence of the lab’s activities.
That is why only the best who were selected through careful screening were assigned as security guards, and no further measures were taken.
“You better be careful. The guards here are on a different level than the guys outside.”
“Even so, it’s just the same.”
Unlike Yoo Hye-seong, Kang Jin-hyeok wasn’t nervous at all.
Since Yoo Hye-seong was the person who so easily subdued him when he turned into a monster, it was understandable why Kang Jin-hyeok was so confident.
“You’ll need a new pass to go any further.”
“Then I guess I can just steal it from the person who comes over there.”
Kang Jin-hyeok and Yoo Hye-seong hid behind the wall when they noticed a security guard walking towards them.
“How do you plan on taking it away?”
“Just like what happened outside.”
“Knock him down and take him away… … . That’s certainly the only way, but do you think you can do it well?”
The security guards guarding the lab are equipped with emergency bells all over their bodies.
If you give them even a moment’s notice, the guards will alert the entire lab of the intruder through the emergency bell.
“You’re worrying about everything. Just watch.”
Even though it was an urgent operation that could not afford even a moment’s opportunity, Kang Jin-hyeok looked calm.
While Yoo Hye-seong waited, half in doubt, Kang Jin-hyeok measured the distance with the security guard.
‘Five steps forward.’
As soon as the security guard walked to the desired location, Kang Jin-hyeok moved his body.
Because she had her aura in both legs and had increased her speed momentarily, Yoo Hye-seong couldn’t follow Kang Jin-hyeok’s movements with her eyes.
It was natural that the security guards didn’t notice Kang Jin-hyeok’s approach since he was a S-class hunter.
Before the security guard could even react, Kang Jin-hyeok arrived right in front of his nose and quickly extended his fist.
“Ugh!”
The guard fell forward with a single scream.
The entire process took less than two seconds.
If an ordinary person had seen it, they would have had no idea what was happening.
“crazy.”
Yoo Hye-seong knew firsthand that Kang Jin-hyeok’s physical abilities were outstanding.
But it was a new experience to see it from the perspective of a third party rather than the one being affected.
“What kind of training did you do to become so strong?”
“… … Just because you know doesn’t mean you can follow it.”
A dungeon appears in the house, where you meet dwarves and elves who came from another world.
After that, he went to the temple, took a test, and even went directly to another world through the refrigerator.
There wasn’t a single ordinary process.
Kang Jin-hyeok could say with certainty that no one else could become strong like him.
‘Didn’t you train until you were on the verge of death?’
Yoo Hye-seong, who did not know the circumstances, interpreted Kang Jin-hyeok’s answer differently.
‘I tried to surpass Cheon Sang-ho… … but wasn’t that even worth the effort?’
Yoo Hye-seong knew that Kang Jin-hyeok had been active as a D-class hunter for a long time.
It was almost a miracle that he had grown to this level in less than a year.
Yoo Hye-seong got goosebumps imagining how much effort had gone into achieving that result.
If you come to realize that the results are actually a series of coincidences rather than efforts.
Yoo Hye-seong would have been even more horrified.
How could there be such a law in the world?
But since she didn’t know the story right away, Yoo Hye-seong started to admire Kang Jin-hyeok.
