Chapter 1868 – 1868. Eternal Eden
Although the slash cut the laboratory, the laboratory building did not collapse. The slash cut through the research institute too neatly.
After that, he ran out of the institute with Na Chae-young.
“How on earth do you have to cut down the laboratory?!”
Na Chae-young asked me as she ran away. I was feeling a little excited. It was very rare that she was aroused even when she hadn’t done anything naughty.
“Didn’t you look at the laptop? There was a camera in the power plant too.”
“I could only see using electricity in the power plant. The camera went dead right away.”
“I did something.”
Tired of explaining And I was very tired.
Cool.
I coughed because my throat was stuffy, and as a bonus, blood came out.
“What, what?! Are you hurt?!”
Na Chae-young was startled and stopped running. I sat down on the floor for a while. Coughed up blood His nose was bleeding, and his eyes and ears were also bleeding. Blood vessels in the body burst.
“It’s a side effect of Bister… !”
Na Chae-young noticed my condition right away.
“Hang in there. Much better than back then.”
I forcibly held back the feeling of wanting to faint. If you faint here, there is no answer. At least I had to get in the car and pass out.
‘Is it because I developed resistance to Bister I? As the efficacy of the drug has decreased, the side effects have also decreased.’
After resting for about 2 minutes, I got up.
“Let’s go.”
We safely arrived at our home, Seongak Elementary School. I checked several times upon arrival. No one was after us.
“I really didn’t expect it to work… !”
Na Chae-young muttered with her thrilled expression. I laughed and entered the shower first.

“…”
Jung Hyeon-soo, director of the Korean War Weapons Research Institute, was trembling under the desk in the control room with his eyes closed. He is the only one left alive in the control room. The rest of the researchers all died after their brains were eaten by Brainy Bau.
I was lucky. As soon as Braindivau entered, he pushed the researchers over and hid under the desk with bated breath. He closed his eyes and prayed to a god he didn’t normally believe in to save him. That prayer worked. Brain D. Bau did not see Jung Hyun-soo and went upstairs.
Jung Hyeon-soo, who survived, did not move under the desk. The moment he stepped out of his desk, Brain D’Bau grabbed his body with its short tentacles, opened his skull, and seemed about to eat his brain. Trembling in fear, I waited for someone to rescue me.
How many hours have passed like that?
Beep!
The door to the control room opened.
Instead of a broken iron wall, someone opened the door and entered. You don’t even have to come in through the door.
Again and again.
Several hard shoe sounds were heard. Footsteps that Brainy Bau could never make without feet.
Jung Hyeon-soo crawled out from under the desk. While making the most pitiful expression possible.
“Huh… Hey, could you give me some water… ?”
They were the ones in black suits. In the center was a black-haired beauty. Around her, men in suits roam around the control room. It is a movement that seems to be looking for something rather than resolving the situation.
Suit.
In the 21st century, it was the clothes worn by most members of society. However, their atmosphere was different from that of ordinary people. It exudes an atmosphere that makes you nervous just by looking at it. Gangster? No. It’s more dangerous than that.
“Hey, are you from the military?”
“No. I am from the National Security Planning Department.”
Said the dark-haired beauty in a suit. Her voice was as sweet as her innocent face. Jung Hyeon-soo actually felt fear.
National Security Planning Department. Commonly known as the Secretariat.
The notoriety that those caught by the National Security Agency cannot just come out was widespread among the general public. The people protested several times to abolish the National Security Agency, but the protests disappeared without sound and the Ministry of Security Affairs was maintained until now.
For the past 20 years, the National Security Agency has been quietly moving. In the sun, he completely erased his presence and acted only in the dark. However, those in power who become Jung Hyun-soo know. That the agency has not changed.
And Jung Hyeon-soo also heard rumors about the woman in front of him. She is a woman who doesn’t miss anything from her skills to her origin and background. The blood of the royal family of the Korean Empire runs through her body.
“Lee Yeon-hee, 4th deputy director of the National Security Agency… ! Why, why are you here?!”
“The Ministry of Defense has abandoned this laboratory. Since Brainy Bau is dead, they judged it to be worthless. We are in charge of post-processing. Since the Awakener and the monster are related, I came out as the 4th deputy chief.”
Jung Hyun-soo felt his hair turn white. If you make a mistake, you may be taken to the National Security Agency. And there, you may be subjected to all sorts of harsh things, including electric torture and water torture.
“Chi, there was an intruder! Player, that’s the esper class! He’s messed up the lab and unleashed the Brainy Bow! Its purpose was combat AI! He lured Brainiebau into the control room and escaped! I’ve been hiding here! That’s what this job is all about! Oh, is Brainy Bau’s corpse still there? I was the one who led the study of Brainy Bau. Let me study the corpse, and I’ll show you meaningful results! Brainy Bau’s corpse will definitely help the country!!”
“Did you tell me everything?”
Lee Yeon-hee asks with a smile. That smile, which didn’t seem to match the surroundings at all, was foreign. Jung Hyun-soo’s shoulders trembled. He knelt on the floor and bowed his head.
“Sah, save me…”
“I have some unfortunate news for you. There is no body of Brainy Bau. I found the wreckage in the power plant room on the 1st basement floor… It was burnt to black as it was neatly cut in two. It is probably the heart of Brainy Bau.”
“… Is it in two pieces?”
“This. You didn’t know it was hiding under the desk. The lab was split in two. From the ground to the 5th floor. It broke in two very neatly. It’s so neat that the building doesn’t even show signs of collapsing.”
“…”
“Now, tell me in detail what happened to this lab from the beginning. There is not enough information to grasp the situation with action cams of soldiers found on the ground.”
“Let me tell you! I will tell you everything!”
Jung Hyeon-soo told Lee Yeon-hee everything he knew. Lee Yeon-hee listened to him and nodded quietly. Has 20 minutes passed like that? One of the suits approached Lee Yeon-hee and handed her a tablet.
“Chief. These are camera images. Temporarily, the video was stitched together by time based on the intruder.”
Lee Yeon-hee received the tablet.
“The video is unnatural. Have you been hacked?”
“Yes. It is believed to have been nearby. I manipulated the camera, but there is no manipulation from a certain point.”
“By the time the control room noticed, they had already entered the 4th floor combat AI lab. Hmm. Didn’t you come up with something to identify your identity?”
“Couldn’t check with camera. As you can see, the intruder was covered from head to toe.”
“What about DNA?”
“It is impossible to identify only the invader’s DNA. There are too many bodies all over the place.”
Lee Yeon-hee focused on the tablet.
The intruder behaved normally even in front of Brainy Bau. In front of the Brainy Bow that emits mental waves that drive people crazy.
“You are using a knife.”
“I have already ordered an investigation, but it will be meaningless. It’s a knife that can kill several people and still be fine. In other words, it is presumed to be a weapon made by a technologist.”
“There is a possibility that the collaborator is a technologist. Hmm. I can’t find it right now. After seeing the video, there is a high probability that he is an esper.”
Esper and technologist joined hands? It wasn’t impossible.
The intruder lured Brainiebau into the control room and climbed to the ground. The incomprehensible thing happened next. The intruder did not run away from the lab and chose to fight against Brainy Bau.
‘Why?’
Lee Yeon-hee asked herself in her mind and sought an answer.
‘Suddenly wanted to fight Brainy Bau? Because of Brainy Bau’s mind wave? Realizing the dangers of Brainy Bow?’
The intruder fought Brainy Bow. He jumped on it bravely and was in danger of dying. Then he dragged Brain Dbau into the power generation room. The moment I was about to do something using the generator’s electricity, the video ended.
“The camera is broken due to the effects of electricity.”
“Yes. Afterwards, there is video of the intruder exiting the lab. He probably should have left Paju by now.”
“The characteristic is electrical ability. And a knife. Hmm. I honestly tried my best. I don’t think I had any intention of hiding it thoroughly. I have a hunch that we will meet soon.”
“… The intruder seems to like it.”
“Yes. Brainy Bau was too dangerous, I tried to kill him… He killed Brainy Bau for me. I like him. How can I bring him to the National Security Agency?”
“I’ll pretend I didn’t hear it.”
“That’s no fun. Oh, by the way, someone else has heard.”
Lee Yeon-hee’s gaze turned to Jung Hyun-soo. Jung Hyun-soo said with a pale complexion.
“I-I’ll pretend I didn’t hear that!”
“…”
“Save me! Help the whole country! Really! A lot to know! Don’t you need materials from the lab? I’ll give you all!”
“If it is, I already have it. I know that the players will be targeting the lab, but I can’t believe I didn’t do anything. Combat AI data, Braindivau research and experiment data, next-generation weapon research data… I have them all.”
“Hey, did you plant people in the lab… ?”
“Yes.”
The man in the suit next to Lee Yeon-hee sighs. Yanhui Lee opened her mouth in surprise.
“Ah! This is also confidential… I said it inadvertently. Well, I can’t help it. I just have to sort it out. Jung Hyun-soo, director of the research institute. It’s for the country. It’s for the country. Please understand.”
“Sah, live… !”
“Take it and see if you missed anything. Don’t forget to cross-validate the data.”
At Lee Yeon-hee’s command, two men in black suits approached and subdued Jung Hyeon-soo and took him away. There will be zero survivors in the laboratory.
“Chief. What would the intruder do? If you order, I’ll do my best to track it down. If you check all the cameras and black boxes around you, you might be able to catch the tail.”
“No, I don’t have time for that. It’s that day soon. I have a lot of work to do. A gibbon escaped from the laboratory, right?”
“You may have already gotten out of here.”
“They are gathered on the street 600m to the east. 8 in total. Coordinate with the military unit to deal with it. The corpses are divided into soldiers and halves.”
“Can I give it to the military? The military is a risk factor.”
“We and the military are not enemies, but the same public servants. You have to have a good relationship.”
“All right.”
