Chapter 519 – Undercover #2
According to the information Charlotte gave me, the name of the man I was disguised as was Alex.
It was a very familiar name.
He didn’t like it because it belonged to Stella’s younger sister, who was killed by his own sister and whose soul was contained in Adele’s weapon, facing a gruesome end.
Standing casually in front of the dorm, I greeted Seoyeon Kim and Dain Lee and entered Alex’s room.
The room was tidy. Looking at the desk, there was a small, portable picture frame, containing a beautiful woman and her picture.
Is it the wife or the sister?
I don’t know about that, but one thing is certain, the girl in the picture becomes a believer.
I will devote my body and soul to me, not caring what the man will end up with.
Marcella should already have information about this agent that Charlotte found out, so she will be trained at headquarters sometime tomorrow.
Lying with my head on the cleaned bed, I spent a little time like that.
It was to wait until the work related to the C-class monster that appeared was finished.
Smart.
I was taking a break looking at the ceiling like that when I heard a knock at the door.
I raised my upper body and pressed the button to open the room that Charlotte had told me about, and the door opened with a push sound.
“Agent Alex, how are your injuries?”
A question from a female agent holding a chart in one hand.
Judging by the Red Cross armband on one of her arms, it was a member of the medical team.
I heard that the medical team was half brainwashed, but the person who came now looks normal.
The stigma engraved on the eyeball is also not visible.
Anyway, being called Alex by other people somehow makes me feel dirty.
I thought so and replied with a forced smile.
“It’s okay. I’m fine.”
“I’m glad. When will psychological counseling be available?”
“Psychological counseling?”
“Yes. We are in the process of consulting with the personnel who were brought to Greenland yesterday. It’s not compulsory, but… Agents Zenit and Leah, who were discharged with Agent Alex, are currently moving to the counseling room.”
Zenit and Leah were the names of the agents Kim Seo-yeon and Lee Da-in disguised.
Even though there was no need for counseling, the reason I went was probably to pretend that I was fine after receiving counseling.
There were so many victims, but if you walk around unscathed, you’ll be suspicious.
‘Shall I take it?’
No, I don’t think that’s necessary.
I was only going to move when there were few people anyway, and I came here to quickly devour the headquarters, so there’s no need to waste time.
“I would rather go on a mission than that.”
When he said such a thing in a subdued voice, a pity appeared on the medical team agent’s face.
They seemed to think that I was burning my revenge against the monsters.
It’s been a long time since I acted, but it’s still great.
“You speak similarly to the other agents.”
“It must be of the same mind. The consultation is over.”
“All right. Then tomorrow, the prognosis of the injury and the removal of the Evilian energy dwelling in Agent Alex’s body, so please come to the medical room when I call you in the morning.”
“Yes.”
The Greenland incident would have shocked others.
Psychological counseling is indispensable.
Even so, leaving the counseling to your own discretion could be seen as meaning that you believed in the mentality of the agents.
They are elite agents who have been rolling over and over in the world union of each country, and they will have faith in you because they confirmed that they have good mental strength when they enter.
“If there is something urgent, please press the emergency button. The waiting medical staff will come.”
I nodded her head at the words of the medical team member, and when she went outside, I lay down on her bed again and crossed her legs.
I’ll have to leave around the time recommended by command for bedtime.
**
Puss…
Unlike when the medical team member came out earlier, the door opened quietly.
I went outside listening to a somewhat disheartening sound, and saw that the blue lights in the hallway had gone dark.
Only a few agents were moving in the hallway that was so quiet.
I think the soundproofing of the room is also excellent… It’s perfect for a secret affair.
I was on my way to Han Seo-ah’s room, and I flinched when I saw a cute woman with orange hair walking down her hallway in the distance.
‘It must be Irene.’
I never thought I’d run into them here… I don’t know if I should call it lucky or bad.
“What…?”
As she moved her feet with her gloomy face, she flinched when she felt my presence in front of her.
When I looked at Irene and gave a simple salute, she greeted me with her awkward gesture.
“Hello?”
“Hello, Agent Irene.”
“That… Agent Alex, right?”
I thought I wouldn’t be able to remember the name because he’s an agent with little presence… But it’s quite good.
One of the reasons for Irene’s popularity within the headquarters must be a large part of that side.
“You’re right.”
“I heard she was injured, are you okay…?”
“It’s a minor injury, so there’s no hindrance to moving. But what did she come here for? Isn’t there a separate lodging for Beast Slayers?”
“Ah, that…”
Irene’s eyes, blurring the end of her words, scan my body.
She felt the demon radiating from within.
The reason he came here must be to find out the magic in the bodies of the agents.
Be careful. It is known that I suffered from demonic magic.
If my demonic energy, which is different from the purity itself, becomes even a little stronger, the fakes will sense the changed energy.
By showing only this much right now, Irene must first be corrupt.
“I just came. I’m in a bad mood…”
“…”
“Hey… Agent Alex?”
Seeing me not answering, Irene tilted her head at Irene’s question, and I came to my senses and said,
“Yes?”
“What are you thinking?”
I replied with a bitter smile.
Then Irene’s expression sank greatly.
I was mistaken that I was thinking of her victimized comrades.
“Sorry. I just…”
“No. I was prepared for this from the first time I came to the headquarters. But… Agent Irene, please…”
“Yes. We will definitely deal with that monster.”
You take my word for it. Good eye
It seems to have the qualities to be a good pregnant slave.
“Thank you. How is Agent Irene’s recovery…?”
“Me? Ah… Are you referring to that monster’s energy?”
“Yes. I heard that recovery is slow.”
“It is as you say. Still, things are getting better.”
“That is a good news.”
“Thank you. Ah, would you like to receive some of my energy?”
“Yes…? Energy…?”
“That’s right. I guessed that the energy in Agent Alex’s body would disappear if he received the energy of Aether, which is the opposite of Evelyn energy.”
You are unnecessarily nice. This must be rejected outright.
Asking them to try something interesting is an act of suicide itself.
I am confident of winning against Irene, but I lose if I fight against the fakes throughout the headquarters.
Not yet.
I opened my eyes wide, then scratched the back of my head and made a troubled face.
“It’s a very tempting suggestion…But maybe we should ask Dr. Clark first…”
“Of course it should. I forgot to say, if the doctor permits it…”
Charlotte is someone who knows Aether and Magi well.
Of course she wouldn’t allow it.
“Then what… I would like to receive it. Having the energy of a monster in my body makes me feel so… Bad.”
“Can you feel something in your body?”
“I don’t feel it… But the fact that I have the energy of my teammates’ enemies makes me uncomfortable.”
“I see… With this incident, I will polish the medical team so that the agents imbued with Evilian energy can be quickly healed.”
“You don’t have to do that…”
“No. This is a priority for the medical team as well.”
“… All right. By the way, is Agent Rachel still in the recovery room?”
“Yes, it is. But why is Agent Rachel all of a sudden?”
“No… Agent Rachel has Evelyn energy just like us, but we can go around like this, and she doesn’t understand why she has to stay in the recovery room…”
At those words, Irene nodded her head in understanding.
“You can think of that, but Agent Rachel was directly attacked by that monster. On the other hand…”
“You mean we’re relatively okay because we were attacked by F-class monsters?”
“That’s right. Oh, I’m not being sarcastic at all… I’m just saying this for an explanation, so I’d appreciate it if you would think positively of it.”
“I never thought it was sarcastic.”
“Then I’m glad.”
Why did the headquarters release the agents to the point of confusing the fakes?
Originally, it should have been pushed into the recovery room only.
Come to think of it, the answer came soon. It was comfort.
If people who lost their co-workers and are drowning in grief and anger are driven to the recovery room, dissatisfaction will explode.
They are released so that they can live a normal life so that the command thinks they are not discriminating against them.
He must have decided that he should not lose morale anymore, since he was frustrated by spending time only in the headquarters.
Humans are very difficult to control. It was a boon for me, though.
“Then… I’ll be on my way.”
“All right. Cheer up, Agent Alex.”
“Agent Irene, please do your best. I will always support you.”
“Thank you.”
Irene had a history of encountering me who radiated her demonic energy.
Even so, she seemed to have no doubts when she saw me disguised as Alex.
It’s possible to feel a familiar energy… But it seems like a lot of demons are in the headquarters, and I’m good at controlling demons, so it’s impossible to tell them apart.
It was fortunate. And the mind becomes more comfortable.
Don’t insult your mind as well as your body soon.
Thinking of the future event, I moved to Han Seo-ah’s room without looking back.
