Chapter 1864 – 1864. Eternal Eden
“I am the doctor!”
I called Na Chae-young once again. There was no answer.
My face hardened. Did Na Chae-young get hit? No, it didn’t feel like that. The siren went off and the walkie-talkie went off. Maybe the walkie-talkie went down before then.
‘I was wondering if things were going well… Was it caught in the end?’
Wheeeee
A siren sounded loudly from the speakers on the ceiling. I frowned and stared at the ceiling. The camera was pointed straight at me.
I was about to run away, but I saw a chip plugged into a machine next to me. The chip is still flashing yellow repeatedly.
‘Didn’t they say it would take 1 minute?’
I could wait a minute or so. In fact, it was too late to move now. From the moment the siren sounded, they would have already finished preparing to kill me or capture me alive.
The hallway is noisy. It’s obvious if you don’t look. The remaining researchers are running away in a hurry.
‘Shall we run away now? No. Na Chae-young is safe only when I pull aggro. She needs to get as much attention as possible.’
So I sat arrogantly and looked at the camera. Of course you won’t be able to see my face or expression. Because I’m wearing a mask.
-Where do you belong?
The siren disappeared and a middle-aged man’s voice asked me.
He stopped to face the camera.
-USA? China? Japan? Russia? No It’s way too ignorant to say that the state agency intervened.
Got 30 seconds left?
Make a plan in your head.
‘I will kill anyone who blocks me.’
It was a perfect plan.
-Ah, I know the answer. Be a player Crazy guys who appeared saying this world was a game! Does each player have a class? You may or may not be an esper. Yes? Otherwise, this situation makes no sense. It must have been the purpose of getting combat AI and selling it to other countries. But that won’t be the case. The guardians of our laboratory, the most elite special forces members, are on their way to you!
The voice coming out of the speaker was quite long. They seem to want to say that they have the upper hand, but to be honest, I didn’t think much of it.
‘Still, the way you talk is a bit annoying. Should I stop by the control room and kill them while running away?’
– Surrender.
That was the point.
There was no mention of Na Chae-young. Had I been a bastard, I would have referred to her colleague, Na Chae-young. Because that can put more pressure on you. In other words, she wasn’t caught yet.
‘It’s fortunate.’
– I promise to treat you at least. There are only 300 players in this world, so it’s worth researching. Especially Esper. If only we could find out the cause of that psychic power, mankind would be able to move forward.
The light that was blinking yellow turned to blue.
A minute had passed much earlier. I got up from my chair and swung a knife at the camera. The camera broke and fell to the ground.
– You will regret it.
Ignoring the voice coming out of the speaker, I pulled out the chip from the machine and put it in my pocket. All that remains is to get out of this laboratory.
‘… It is felt. 8 people outside the door. They must be soldiers armed with firearms.’
Will you stop me with 8 elite special forces soldiers? Even if the others don’t know, they can barely stop me that much.
Paper weave.
A blue electric current flickered from the sword and then disappeared. I reached for the door.
•••
Na Chae-young’s expression distorted when she sensed the change.
The walkie-talkie went dead in an instant. She couldn’t do this all of a sudden. There is a problem. Fortunately, the floating screens on the laptop were fine. She must have also been caught hacking surveillance cameras. However, the connection was not broken.
‘Are you trying to hack the reverse?’
She has prepared a lot for today. The laptop she is using now is one of the things prepared. The firewall will not be easily penetrated, and even if the laptop is hacked, they will not be able to obtain any information.
‘No. There’s no time to worry about this.’
The monsters on the third and fifth floors were wriggling. The researchers in the central control room on the 2nd floor are all busy running around. Eight armed soldiers are running to the 4th basement floor where Seong Yu-jin is.
‘Sung Yujin. What is this guy doing?’
Seong Yu-jin sat leisurely in her chair. Despite noticing her strange behavior, she shows no sign of nervousness. Rather, Na Chae-young, who was watching her, was more nervous and anxious.
‘… Shall I run away alone now?’
A thought that came to mind in an instant. She shook her head to clear her thoughts. It was she who proposed and put this crazy plan into action. She said that Seong Yu-jin, although she could deny it, she never once said to her not to do it.
Because we made a deal to spend each other’s time? Sung Yu-jin did not have to do that. Because she, to him, she has the power to kill anyone at will. She is Seong Yu-jin, she was considerate of herself.
Na Chae-young focused on the screen in the central control room. She suddenly became untidy from earlier. It wasn’t just because she discovered Seong Eugene. There is something else.
‘… Was there an important person among the people Seong Eugene killed?’
No, that wasn’t the point now. The important thing is that it is not an advantageous situation over there.
And didn’t she see Sung Eugene’s strength with her own two eyes a few days ago? If he is, she can create a chance. Na Chae-young stared at her monitor, clutching her walkie-talkie in her hand. It is crazy that she herself goes into the lab. Even if she helped Sung Eugene, she had to help here.
‘Show me like last time, you’re crazy.’

“You will regret it.”
Jeong Hyeon-soo, head of the Korean War Weapons Research Institute, glared at the pitch-black monitor and spit into the microphone.
“Chief! I checked the body in Dr. Yoon’s private office on the 3rd floor!”
“Monkeys go mad! Dr. Yoon’s mind control ability has been lifted!”
“Brainy Bow is howling! It’s on the verge of a rampage!”
The researchers in the control room all made a fuss and reported it to Jung Hyeon-soo.
Biological weapons research revolved around Dr. Yoon, an early awakener. Dr. Yoon had the ability to control less intelligent animals, and thanks to that ability, he was able to study biological weapons very comfortably. As Dr. Yoon dies, the biological weapons are rampaging, as if their abilities have been released.
Especially, it was very bad that the monster on the 5th floor, Brainy Bau, was showing signs of going on a rampage again. The soldiers don’t have time to subdue Brainy Bow as they deal with the intruders.
“Spray the anesthetic gas.”
“Spray anesthetic gas!”
Jung Hyun-soo turned his gaze back to the monitor. Eight men at the forefront, fully armed, point their rifles at the door. As soon as the door opened and the masked intruder emerged, the soldiers pulled the trigger. However, the bullet did not reach the intruder’s body. The bullet was blocked, or it was out of the way. The soldiers who were not accustomed to dealing with psychics were momentarily taken aback.
Then the usual sword dance of an intruder began.
Because of the narrow passage, the 8 soldiers could not use their numerical superiority. The soldier closest to the intruder was cut out first.
15 seconds. It was the time it took for the elite soldiers who could subdue monsters to be wiped out. There was one reason why they were helplessly slaughtered. Bullets do not pass through opponents.
“… Are you a person capable of shielding?”
“It is certain that he has the ability.”
“Looking at it earlier, it seemed like the electricity was shining… Aren’t you an electrician?”
“I can’t make something like a shield with just electricity.”
“His physical abilities also surpassed that of ordinary humans. An Awoken with at least two abilities. It is worth studying.”
“Fuck, research?! Can you say something like that in this situation?!”
Jung Hyeon-soo ignored the sounds around him and drew his own conclusion. The intruder is the player. Class is Esper. If you were able to handle psychic powers so well, there was no esper. And since he’s an esper, he even has crazy thoughts about raiding the lab.
“Activate the security system.”
Jung Hyun-soo said. The researchers all looked at Jung Hyeon-soo.
“Chief! The 2nd platoon is coming to support by helicopter! Expected arrival time is 5 minutes later! Do I really have to activate the security system?!”
“An intruder could climb into the control room here. The 1st Platoon was wiped out in 15 seconds. You know what will happen when he comes up, don’t you? I’d rather be locked up in a control room than killed by him.”
“… There are about 20 researchers who haven’t entered the control room yet. Activate the security system now and they will die.”
“It is unavoidable. Let alone letting him come into the control room and kill us, we must stop him from stealing combat AI data.”
“Damn it.”
Security system works. Combat AI, which is still in the experimental stage, will control all weapons in the laboratory to exclude intruders. It is still in the experimental stage, so there is a problem that it cannot distinguish between enemies, but its power has already been verified.
‘The player is a valuable research subject. I wish they were captured alive.’
I look forward to it even though I know it’s impossible.
A strange thing happened. Originally, the intruder who should have climbed up to the 3rd floor went down to the 5th floor. This is the only place in the lab without a security system.
‘If you’re a player, there’s no way you don’t know what’s on the 5th basement floor. The proof is that he came to steal combat AI data. What kind of plan is this?’
•••
After slicing and killing 8 soldiers, I walked towards the stairs. I went straight through the 3rd floor to the 2nd floor control room and tried to kill the arrogant talkers. But when I saw the stairs, my head went cold. I don’t like the guy who talked wildly in the control room, but the important thing now is survival.
‘Let’s say how we get out of the lab. But what about after that? I would have called in reinforcements, so the army would pursue them, right? There is nothing in this area It’s hard to escape once the army is deployed in earnest. Besides, I have to take care of Na Chae-young.’
So, Na Chae-young and I need a way to escape easily. It happened that the way was downstairs. Someone who will pull more aggro than me.
‘I was curious about what he was doing, but I’ll have to take a look at his face.’
I walked to the 5th basement floor.
-What do you mean?!
A male voice is heard through the speaker. As before, I put my middle finger on the camera and went down.
The iron door on the 5th floor was bigger and harder than anything else. I put my card key in, but the door wouldn’t open.
– Hehe. It’s stupid. It cannot be opened with only the card key. The door will never be opened unless authorized by the control room.
“Can’t you shut up?”
If I tell you, you won’t hear it anyway. My mouth is covered by a mask, so I can’t even see the shape of my mouth, and there’s only a speaker here.
I reached out and grabbed the lock on the iron door.
Pajijijijik!
Cause a seizure I wonder if it’s a complicated machine like a computer. If the structure is as simple as a door lock, the door can be opened using lightning.
Clap!
The door on the 5th floor opened.
