Chapter 55 – [What Is Life, Just Living the Way You Live]

The party increased by one, but it did not interfere with anything. I did to her what I had done to her Zion during her kidnapping. Of course, weaker than Zion.

The force field I unfold can be applied to others, but the consumption of power is different. I use almost half of my strength against Shion, and even if the earth blows away, I’ll be fine… But right now, there’s no need to waste that much on someone I’ve just met for the first time.

It was enough though. Even if a bomb explodes in front of my eyes, I will be fine, so I don’t have to protect it.

“Is there any information about the lower part? Even if it’s leaked.”

“Hmm…I haven’t heard much of it because I was drunk. I heard someone swearing. They say that he goes too far without doing anything… I don’t know if I’ve heard it once or twice, but I’ve heard it quite a few times, and his nickname was Ugly Pig.”

“An ugly pig?”

“I can’t remember the name, but I do remember that the last name was Chu.”

A person who eats a lot of swearing… Usually, in an organized society like this, such a person is clear. Even in the army, soldiers of interest curse at each other in the same platoon, unless they are a bit of an idiot.

“Let’s go downstairs. We have to find the computer. Get the information there… After that, we just have to kill all the rest of them.”

“Will you kill me?”

“Didn’t you see the other people? If you stayed here for a long time, you would all be like them. Is your conscience here?”

I sneakily pointed to several rooms with open windows on the doors. Even if I saved Yejin, it was full of people staring into space and drooling without any reaction.

I am not merciful enough to spare those who have no will to live. If you shout at least to save me, I don’t know.

“Yeah, but Raccoon Man, though strange, wasn’t a hero who saved people?”

“I’m not Batman, so I’m not a non-killer. My theory is that bad guys should die. Everyone here should die.”

“Still……”

“I saw the people who were being experimented on here, and they died while calling out their daughter’s name or accidentally killed their sister. Do you think we should save those who made them like that?”

“…….”

I have no intention of introducing a guilt-by-association system. Even in the military, it was such a shameful guilt-by-association system. However, the fact that they are working in such a facility is itself proof that they are guilty. I can’t imagine working here without knowing. In the yard where there is a confinement room openly like this.

We moved on again. Yejin is also a force user, so she followed my movements well. Even if it seems that the only feature is strengthening, the physical ability is not bad by concentrating on using only that.

“Here. The elevator going down to the lower floors.”

“If you go down on this, there is a place where I was experimented on. I got a strange injection there…”

“Then let’s go down first.”

I kicked the elevator door to pieces and threw myself into the aisle inside. This is not the bottom of the lower level, but leads to the first level of the lower level. It’s very complicated.

It’s not a dungeon in a game, but if it’s twisted like this, only those who enter it will explode. Oh, did you make this for that?

Upon entering the lower floors, there was a different atmosphere from the upper and middle floors. If there was at least warmth up there, there was only a chilly feeling.

The expression that people feel cold when they die is not simply a metaphor for a corpse. It’s hard to explain, but the atmosphere unique to this dreary place is so cold that it’s cold.

“Hey, it’s a little bit…”

“I heard you came during the experiment?”

“But at that time, I was half drunk? I always sprayed the drug when I came out of that room and dragged it out only when I was in a daze.”

It must have been a natural procedure to incapacitate a Force user and experiment with it.

The hallway of the lower level was stained with bloodstains that were not as old as expected. That’s where you can see how terrible it was spent here.

And there was a new force user team standing in our way. Because of the complex structure, the children coming down from above are still chasing them, but those who were originally in the facility seemed to have camped out and waited here.

“Kill!!!”

“Don’t let me go further!!!”

There was nothing else to say. Force users with weapons rushed at them almost like mad, and I stretched out my fist.

And a melee ensues. The hallway was not narrow, but it was too narrow for 30 people to run around. Some grabbed my arms, others tried to squeeze my legs with their teeth.

But it was no use, I killed each one carefully. What do you do when you have good equipment and a lot of people? It is useless in the face of overwhelming power anyway.

When I was about half dead, someone shouted from behind.

“Raccoon Man! Don’t move! If you move, this girl’s life is not guaranteed!!!”

“Ah, mister…!”

The person who had fallen behind her grabbed Ye-jin from behind and held a dagger to her neck. It’s a sharp military dagger, so it looks good to hold.

But already prepared.

“Do it, asshole”

“What……?”

“Did you think I was taking him with you to take the hostage comfortably? I’ve already prepared everything?”

At that, the man put strength into Ye-jin’s military dagger, which was thrust into Ye-jin’s throat. However, even with the strength of a strong force user, not even a single blade went in, so I couldn’t even cut a single layer of skin, let alone blood.

“How could this…!”

“The world can be like this.”

A hostage is something that can be obtained at the risk of life and safety. However, if a hostage cannot do as much harm as a fingernail, a hostage is not worth as much as a dead hostage.

As I approached, the man who held Ye-jin hostage ran away in fright. But he had no intention of letting go, so I snapped his fingers and his body lifted off the ground and flew towards me.

“Ugh, ugh…”

“Are you afraid of me?”

I know because I received many people’s fearful gazes. Human beings are afraid and awe of transcendent beings, but if the being is only hostile and has no mercy, all that remains is fear.

They say that they know the hot road in the water, but they don’t know the Hangil people, but it’s not like they’ve been through this once or twice, so the psychology that comes to mind in the current situation is obvious.

“It’s all for your own benefit. So, who wants to cooperate with people who aren’t these people?”

“Ooh, we were just hired…”

“An excuse is an excuse”

These guys’ repertoire is always the same. They do not accept their sins and blame others or society.

A truly sane person, even when cornered, would not think of committing a crime. Even if it does, it’s a livelihood crime to survive, and I don’t do anything that makes other people shed bloody tears.

“What was it? They say that if you commit a crime, it’s the world’s rule to be punished. From now on, I’ll punish you, so accept it sweetly.”

Oh Tae-sik, the main character of the movie Sunflower, secretly recalled a famous line and spat it out. As he slips his hand, an invisible force strangles the man.

“Kuk, kuk kuk! Keuk!! Buy, save…”

After a few gasps, the man soon choked and suffocated. He roughly tosses the man’s corpse away and takes his steps again.

“Mister, it just looked like Darth Vader.”

“Do kids these days even know Star Wars?”

Although it is a famous genre, it is strange to know that the latest work has collapsed and has virtually become infamous.

Now, with a twist that doesn’t seem like a twist, if you’re the main character of a line like ‘I am your father’ that most everyone knows, you would know. It’s honestly less famous, but his specialty is the force grip.

The lower floors were full of full-scale research facilities. If you look into one room, there is a surgical table in the center, a terrifying circular saw that can be used anywhere around it, and various surgical instruments.

Judging by the fragments of flesh and bloodstains left in one corner of the room, it seems that it has been used until recently.

And further inside, there was a place where many people were bustling and walking around busily. A significant number of researchers were gathered in the room.

If you look at the largest space, this is a central control room, right?

“Quickly destroy the data! It can’t be leaked outside!”

“Fuck, you raccoon man. Why are you suddenly attacking me!”

“How much data left to delete on the main server!”

“Almost done! 95 percent!”

“Oh, that can’t be!”

“Raccoon Man!!!”

I moved slowly and lost money. I thought I would be doing this here.

Apparently, the access rights are already deleting data, so it seems that you can just connect. I immediately threw some researchers away and pulled out the USB from my left ear and inserted it into the nearest USB port.

But it doesn’t go in. Oh, some! Enter at once!

Perhaps because of the jinx peculiar to USB, I turned it over once and plugged it back in. A faint light glows, probably indicating that it is connected.

“I wonder what you guys were doing and you were destroying evidence here?”

“Fuck! Why is Raccoon Man here! Didn’t all the remaining teams in the lab leave?!”

“They’re all dead”

The Force users outside were now almost annihilated. At most, there are only a few left.

I grabbed a nearby researcher by the collar and threatened him.

“If you want to be fine, stop deleting data. Wouldn’t it be better to cooperate and go to a less hot hell anyway?”

“No, I can’t! Data deletion is done on the main computer of the head office, so once it starts, I can’t stop here!”

It’s the most annoying way. That’s why I don’t like handling precision devices like computers.

I contacted Zion who said he would do a USB connection as well.

“How about there? Have you received any data?”

[A lot of it has been deleted, so the information you can get is limited… But it’s better than nothing]

“Conversely, how about hacking into the main computer over there?”

[The main computer over there is a spiritual computer. It is possible to access the main server from your lab computer now, but the permission to use it has been revoked, and that computer is also a general computer, so it is impossible]

“Ah, you’ve worked hard”

Suddenly, if he was the director of the facility, he thought he could get something more, so he grabbed the researcher by the collar again and robbed him.

“Hey, where are you guys in charge? That guy with the surname Chu”

“Chu, are you talking about Chu Dae-seong?”

“Are there two Mr. Chu? Or that’s right. Where is he?”

“In the private room on the lowest floor…”

Spread your senses and find the person downstairs.

While most of them are busily running to destroy data, there is a guy with only one corner of the room.

Contrary to the name of the person in charge, he is in charge because he does not take responsibility at all, and when something happens while playing and eating, he pushes the responsibility to others. It’s called ‘the one who pushes the responsibility’, so it’s a person in charge.

In this mess, even though I made it into a mess, there must be a reason for staying still in this situation, right? Shall we go to this guy George?

I left the researchers behind and went downstairs. Anyway, Shion did all the hacking, and there are enough ways to kill him from a distance even if you don’t kill him with your own hands.

…..Something is a little uncomfortable.

“Ah, mister…Something is ominous.”

“Hey, you two?”

“Are you like that too?”

The squeamishness gets stronger as time goes on. In the first place, from the first time I came here, I felt ominous, but although he reacts slower than me, I feel extraordinary in Yejin, who noticed something.

My ability, ‘sense’, maximizes not only the five senses, but also the sixth sense, and even though it is faint, it is possible to foresee the future. But the distant future cannot be seen. Because it is too variable.

However, you can know the degree of likes and dislikes of what will happen in the future. But you noticed that even though it was less than my ability?

“Do you have any other traits besides strengthening traits?”

“Yes? Oh, no… I haven’t had time to think about that since I was kidnapped.”

“Has anything changed since you came here?”

“Oh, um…”

“Even if it’s a small thing, it’s okay”

“Even if I’ve been sleeping for a week, I always wake up before being dragged out for an experiment. But I think this is just because I was stressed or slept lightly…”

I had something to experiment with for a moment, so I clenched her fist. And she gently waved her fist at Ye-jin.

“Aww!!”

She shut her eyes tightly in surprise at her fist in front of her eyes. Then he wrapped his arms around the back of her head and bowed her head.

Attacks were from the front, but defense was her head, mostly from the rear.

“It’s not like a sensory characteristic. It’s looking far ahead.”

“Uh, uh? Didn’t you just mean to hit me in the back?”

“I tried to hit you in the back of the head. The fist is fake”

Half medicine, if it was simply a good feeling, she would have reflexively raised the guard with her arm to block it. It’s a natural instinct before being trained or not.

But Ye-jin defended the back of her head. Actually, I just pretended to punch and tried to hit the back of the head with my ability.

But I saw through it. To fool my ‘feelings’ and react to them to that extent, I cannot begin with the same sensory characteristics.

“You can’t…”

“What, what is it?”

“Okay. Let’s talk about it later. It’s not something to do now.”

First of all, it’s a matter of discussing Ye-jin’s whereabouts after I finish my work and escape.
