The head of the research lab who drank wine alone at home.

 

He saw a smartphone notification and opened the lab management IOT application.

 

———————————-

 

＜Name＞ ＜Status＞

 

PC for administrator ON

 

———————————-

 

“What is this?”

 

The head of the lab recalled his memories to see if he had turned on the PC and left.

 

… … .

 

“No, I must have turned it off properly.”

 

Paranoid, he would never let such trifles pass.

 

He called the security office with an anxious face.

 

＜Yes. This is the K-Shield Situation Room.＞

 

“Ah—I’m the head of the CK research lab, and our database is on, so I was wondering if someone entered.”

 

＜There is nothing special about it. Still, let’s check it out. Where is the database?＞

 

The control room did not know the details because the gate guard did not report Kim Na-hye’s entrance.

 

“In the lab basement… … . No, ah- no. It’s okay if there are no special days. I’ll stop by the lab in a little while.”

 

The head of the research institute was trying to get the guards to go to the basement and check who came in, but he remembered that there were a lot of cracks there and shut his mouth.

 

His anxiety intensified when things didn’t go his way.

 

The lab is a 10-minute drive away.

 

He decided to go check it out himself.

 

＜Yes, I will pass it on to the gate.＞

 

drop.

 

The call ended.

 

He immediately got dressed and left the house.

 

On the other hand, the situation room side also asked the entrance gate to confirm this call.

 

＜Mingyu, is there anything special about the gate?＞

 

Hwang Min-gyu, who was playing an idle game in the security room at the entrance gate, put down his smartphone and cleared his voice.

 

“Yes? Ah- well, one researcher was in, but his identity is clear, so it doesn’t seem like a big deal.”

 

Suddenly, a loud noise is heard over the walkie-talkie.

 

＜You crazy! are you kidding? that’s what’s special Didn’t the training center teach you to call me if there’s anything?!＞

 

“Ugh. Yes. Yes. No, but she said she was in a hurry, and Cheol-soon-senpai just let her in last time… … .”

 

＜It’s done. It’s an emergency. There’s something about that girl. All the kids will be calling, so you’ll be sure to keep the spot. And since the head of the research institute is coming, I tell him to wait outside until the disturbance subsides.＞

 

“yep!”

 

Hwang Min-gyu answered politely, but he did not understand why he had just let the woman go.

 

‘Why did I do that? All you have to do is ask the situation room about that.’

 

For him, the devil used to cry.

 

***

 

When Shinnoda was releasing even ‘Alpha’, a red emergency light turned on in the laboratory and a siren sounded.

 

“This… .”

 

“It looks like you heard it.”

 

They hurried to the control room.

 

Of course, it was expected that he would get caught, but when it happened, he couldn’t help but get nervous as a human being.

 

Then the bulkhead started coming down from the ceiling.

 

Shinnoda saw it and immediately shouted.

 

“run!”

 

They ran desperately, but were isolated right in front of the control room.

 

Corridors separated about 10 meters apart.

 

‘The Dark Knight’ clenched his fists and lightly tapped the bulkhead.

 

tung. tung.

 

It felt pretty heavy.

 

He calmly sought the next move.

 

‘Among all the skills I can use that can penetrate this… … .’

 

“No.”

 

Shinnoda vowed to learn the skills to display powerful firepower.

 

He lightly touched Laura’s shoulder and said a request.

 

“Lauraemon – magic.”

 

“Do you know that magic is universal?”

 

“Yes?”

 

Shinnoda nodded her head.

 

After all, if you use it, you’re not a wizard.

 

That was the reason I brought her here in the first place.

 

“What, what? de… No, my magic is almost universal.”

 

Laura said proudly.

 

Then he grabbed Shinnoda’s shoulder and pressed it to his eye level.

 

Two pairs of golden eyes with identical vertical pupils stared at each other as if they had been duplicated.

 

“It’s because the magic power produced by the wise man’s stone isn’t enough. It’s just for charging.”

 

Laura suddenly grabbed his face and kissed him.

 

“Oops.”

 

Alpha and Omega covered their eyes with their hands at the sudden action of ‘The Dark Knight’ and his companions.

 

Still, he spread his fingers and glanced at the scene.

 

“Key, kiss… !”

 

Omega’s heart pounded at the sight she had only seen on TV.

 

“Whoops, haha—why are you doing this all of a sudden… !”

 

As soon as Laura released her, Shinnoda demanded an explanation for her sudden action.

 

At the same time, he also noticed that a handful of magical power had been drained from his body.

 

“Because I was using invisibility magic earlier and my mana barrel was empty. This is the second most efficient way to transmit power.”

 

Shinnoda’s face was slightly blushed.

 

Laura, on the other hand, was expressionless.

 

“Yeah, that’s right.”

 

Shinnoda affirmed with a light smile.

 

Unsurprisingly, Laura’s appearance was very good, so he was rather good.

 

“Flame Cannon.”

 

Laura reached out toward the bulkhead and cast high-level magic.

 

This is the maximum output that Laura can produce.

 

A warm energy gathered in her hands.

 

A beam of flame spread out in front.

 

The structure of the underground building is a ‘-‘-shaped corridor.

 

Her magic penetrated the bulkhead in front of her, crushed the next bulkhead, and even the next bulkhead.

 

“Wow.”

 

“scared… .”

 

Alpha and Omega crouched down, terrified by the intense heat they felt up close.

 

“That’s great. Can I learn magic too?”

 

Shinnoda said, admiring the high-ranking magic unfolding before her eyes.

 

“It is possible, but if you have a talent like yours, you have to train for 20 years or so to get 4 circles. It is possible because of the altered soul.”

 

he muttered to himself.

 

‘In the first place, how incompetent was I?’

 

Shinnoda grabbed the crouched children by the nape of the neck, lifted them up, and entered the control room.

 

“ah. You are here!”

 

As they entered, Kim Na-hye greeted them with tears in their eyes.

 

When the siren suddenly rang and the bulkhead came down, she thought something had gone terribly wrong.

 

“yes. Did you do everything you were told to do?”

 

“All important data has been moved, and the database is overwritten with dummy information. It’s going to take a while, so I think I’ll have to leave it like this.”

 

“Is it automatic?”

 

“Yes. We’ll figure it out when we go. I guess I’ll have to escape quickly, but let’s go!”

 

‘The Dark Knight’ reached out towards her and flicked her fingers.

 

A gesture for a USB stick.

 

Kim Na-hye took out a USB memory stick from her arms and handed it to him.

 

They left the control room and headed for the elevator to the ground floor.

 

There was a biometric system on the way, so Kim Na-hye quickly authenticated.

 

With this, she did all that ‘The Dark Knight’ was supposed to do.

 

“thank you for your effort.”

 

The cold voice of ‘The Dark Knight’.

 

Kim Na-hye noticed that something strange was going on.

 

“Stand, please. I did what I was told… … .”

 

As an ordinary woman, the dragon’s sword was swung at a speed that she could not even recognize.

 

From the launch to the slash, it was done in the blink of an eye.

 

Her head flew in the sky.

 

“You are not innocent either.”

 

At first I thought she was the one who tried to spread the secrets of this lab in the original.

 

However, when I think about it, the righteous person is a new researcher, but Na-hye Kim has a long career at this institute and is a high-ranking researcher.

 

Moreover, considering that the original incident occurred one year later, it was highly likely that the righteous person had not even joined the company yet.

 

It’s never the same person.

 

In other words, Kim Na-hye is a participant in inhumane experiments and an industrial spy who sells secrets in exchange for money from China.

 

‘The Dark Knight’ took all of this into consideration and showed her face.

 

“Did you plan to kill me in the first place?”

 

Laura asked, kicking the corpse with her feet.

 

“Yes. There are many reasons to kill, but no particular reason to save.”

 

They got on the elevator without a word and went up to the ground floor.

 

ding.

 

The elevator door opened.

 

A gunshot rang out in an instant.

 

It was shot by the ‘K Shield’ side.

 

They were grasping the movement of the ‘Dark Knight’ through CCTV.

 

An expensive bullet containing mana hit the chest of the ‘Dark Knight’.

 

“Ugh.”

 

He was shot and nearly fell from the impact, but barely managed to focus.

 

“How to gun.”

 

‘K Shield’ brought in and operated a gun in the name of dungeon raid.

 

It’s kind of a bias.

 

‘The Dark Knight’ rolled up his robe slightly and checked his chest.

 

Bullets that cannot penetrate and are embedded in scales.

 

The scales had very high magic resistance, so mana bullets were useless.

 

‘If it was a normal bullet, it would have bounced off. It must be Manatan.’

 

Anyway, I knew that I wasn’t going to be penetrated, so there was nothing to be afraid of.

 

He left the other party in the elevator and slowly walked out.

 

bang. bang.

 

Gunshots continued.

 

The ‘Dark Knight’ narrows the distance regardless of being shot by a designated shooter.

 

The ‘K Shield’ guards took a step back.

 

They tried to use the skill since ‘The Dark Knight’ first appeared, but somehow they couldn’t use it.

 

“The Dark Knight… … . It was true that it prevented the use of skills.”

 

The security guard said so and bit his lip harshly.

 

“What should I do? manager!”

 

“shit. The gun doesn’t work!”

 

The clamor of the team members in panic.

 

The leader came to a conclusion.

 

“Pull out your sword! Let’s go hand-to-hand combat!”

 

‘The Dark Knight’, known as an A-class villain.

 

They knew that even if they attacked with a low Awakening level, it would be dog death.

 

However, if you run away from here, the reputation of ‘K-Shield’ is over.

 

Who would write a company that runs away from the enemy?

 

If that happened, there would be no face to see the K group chairman who trusted him and reaped the rewards.

 

“The number of us is much greater! No matter how A-class, there is no business in terms of quantity!”

 

The team leader tried to boost morale.

 

But the surroundings were quiet.

 

When his teammates didn’t respond, he looked around to issue a decree.

 

The subordinates turned white as if they had seen a ghost.

 

“what! Why are you all of a sudden?”

 

“T, Chief… behind!”

 

The ‘Dark Knight’ was standing behind the team leader and holding a knife to his neck.

 

“You are the captain.”

 

The team leader rolled his eyes and looked at his neck.

 

Small sword stopped right in front of the carotid artery.

 

Blood dripped from the tip of the retracted blade and dripped onto the nape of his neck.
