Chapter 64: The Underground Maze
"Well, yes. I don't think I can go in. Something black on the wall stopped me from using the darkness. It looks like it's hard to move in the shadows."
"I see. Was it Dr. Kim Sunwoo? What the hell did he make…"
"Mr. President, can I go, too? It's too dangerous for Haru to go alone!"
"Icicle. Didn't I tell you? It's too dangerous there. Even if you're armed, aren't you vulnerable to raids? It's a gamble to get into a state of weak self-defense."
A conference room on the top floor of an association
In the conference room, where only the president of the association, three A-class heroes, and top executives were gathered, a heated debate was taking place.
"Boohoo… Well, then! Does it make sense to let Haru go there alone?"
"Haa… I've been against it too. But Stardus kept being stubborn. Icicle, you try to stop her."
"Haru! Why are you suddenly going in there? It's already safely sealed off, so there's no need to rush in there, right?"
Seeing Seola whining at her, Haru thought of what to say for a while.
Why would I go in there?
There are many reasons.
"Seola. You don't know when the safeguards will be released and the monsters will escape. It's right to take care of it in advance. And they might have something else to hide, so I'm going to get some data."
"Boohoo…"
Looking at Seola grumbling without being able to refute it, Haru swallowed what she was about to say.
In fact, she didn't mean to go this fast.
But
Her strength, which became stronger than before, gave her confidence that she could return with a safe body no matter what happened there.
And
She was also a little nervous.
In fact, Shin Haru was somewhat confident.
She’s confident that she can handle all the terror attacks of most villains in Seoul.
In fact, all the villains except for Egostic have been arrested and thrown into prison… Wasn't the terror caused by Egostic successful in preventing it anyway?
Maybe that's why.
She was shocked when she saw the disaster this time.
It was just terrible how many thousands of victims would have been if it wasn’t because of Egostic.
Therefore, she had no choice but to admit it.
She is somehow useless… more than a villain.
The villain actually solved what she couldn't do as a hero.
Come to think of it, it's not just this time.
Last time, the terror caused by the villain named Alligator Man would have been more damaging without Egostic.
‘I can’t leave it like this.’
Honestly, she was a little nervous, too.
A hero worse than a villain. There can be no such thing.
If you do the post-processing properly, wouldn't you be ashamed of the name ‘Hero’?
"But why don't you take some time before going…?"
Shadow Walker who was next to Icicle slipped in a timid word.
"I will see it when I go in there anyway, if I go in very deep, the radio waves won't work, so it's meaningless to drag on the time. If I’m going in, I think it's better to go faster before it's too late."
Icicle, who eventually rejected the final objection, looked at Stardus as if she was worried.
Stardus only smiled at Icicle hoping she could be relieved.
All right. Underground.
There, the HanEun Group, what the hell they did, she will definitely find out…
"Well, then let's make a plan."
So on the top floor of the Hero Association, the lights didn't go out until late at night.
Skeptical about Stardus' underground attack on the HanEun Group, which will take place just tomorrow.
***
Ego-based conference room deep in Seoul.
Under the blinking lights, I finished explaining.
"…Beneath it, there's a dream creature called Behemoth, which the HanEun group was studying. To intercept that, tomorrow! We’re going to go."
As soon as I'm done, the meeting room suddenly becomes quiet.
What? Why aren't you responding?
When I only blinked, Ha-yul, who was only listening, opened her mouth.
"Hey, Da-in. Aside from how you know that, is it dangerous for now?"
Is it dangerous?
"Uh… it's going to be a little dangerous. Actually, I don't know what's inside there either."
In fact, the original did not describe the underground of the HanEun group in detail.
It's just that Kim Sun-woo stole it because it was full of bizarre monsters and there was Behemoth in it
I'm a bit nervous, but Ha-yul will heal me.
The most important thing is.
‘Rocket Punch…’
I want to try the Black Rocket Punch.
How long are you going to use the telekinesis as your only tool?
Human beings are supposed to gamble!
"…So you're going to do something dangerous again, Da-in?"
At that moment.
Suddenly, Seo-eun, who was bowing her head, said quietly.
Wait, I think it's a little chilly in the meeting room
"No, well, am I going to die or something? Ha ha."
When I scratched my head and said so, Seo-eun's hand, which was holding her fist with her head down, began to tremble.
What is this ominous feeling?
"I mean!!! What are you thinking?! Does it make sense to you rolling around like that!!!"
Seo-eun suddenly banged her fist on the desk and got angry.
Gosh, that brat!
I looked at Soobin urgently for help.
"…Da-in, you came back hurt last time, and you're doing the same again this time?"
Looking at me with the same cool eyes, she began to sympathize with Seo-eun.
Oh, my God, there's no one I can trust!
In the end, I was scolded so much.
Well, a man can roll his body.
You can't make a big profit if you only go on a safe path. If you're a man, shouldn't you try betting?
Of course, when I said so, I was criticized more.
How come no one agrees with me?
If I get hurt, Ha-yul will get me treatment. I believe that.
….Will she heal me?
Anyway, I was able to get permission on the condition that I would take the camera from below and play the screen in real time and continue to communicate.
No, I'm the leader of this organization, aren't I?
Why should I be getting permission?
Something was wrong, but I decided to move on.
Anyway, tomorrow is the day.
***
The next day, daytime.
When people were enjoying their lunch, I was hiding at the scene of the collapsing HanEun Group building.
A hole, that looks like a sinkhole, is visible among the rubble of a collapsed building.
Maybe that's the Behemoth sticking out. It's really huge.
…Of course, the association quickly poured cement to block it. Or else the monsters in there will pop out, so that's a good thing that they did.
In any case, there was an entrance to the hidden basement of the HanEun Group not far from there.
A place at the bottom of the hollow ground, closed by layers of shielding doors.
And in front of it, the association's people were strictly guarding against anyone coming in.
They were patrolling in front of it with guns and sunglasses on. They looked like Men inBlack wearing sunglasses and a suit. But, well.
Whether they were patrolling or not. It's none of my business.
Isn't teleportation the only solution? Teleportation is the best. But I wish there were no side effects.
Anyway, after observing the situation for a while, I teleported right inside when I got ready.
Then, the air changes in an instant.
I was standing under the bright sun, but then it was underground when I opened my eyes.
The light above is repeatedly turned off and on.
In such a gloomy atmosphere, a dark hallway stretched forward. Maybe there's a lot of monsters in there.
Hmm.It's dark, and there's even monsters.
"…."
No, I can't call myself a professional villain if I’m scared of this.
I'm Arch Enemy of Stardus. Of course, it's self-claiming, but anyway. I shouldn't be frightened by this.
I saw the package which I prepared. I brought guns, bombs, cameras, and snacks. Snacks are important.
The clothes… A black magician's hat, a black robe, and a black cape. Perfect all-black fashion. Even the gray mask that covers half of my face as the finishing touch. Good. Perfect.
After all the preparations, I turned on the camera and turned on the broadcast.
It's better to send this out.
It was not a terrorist attack, so I didn't hijack terrestrial radio waves, but I wanted to do a live steaming on YouTube.
The chat window, despite the sudden broadcast, began to post the chat quickly.
[?????]
[What is it???]
[Mango Stick! Mango Stick! Mango Stick! Mango Stick! Mango Stick! Mango Stick! Mango Stick! Mango Stick!]
[New show, woohoo! wwwww]
[God, is he Mango? God, is he Mango? God, is he Mango? God, is he Mango? God, is he Mango? God, is he Mango?]
[Is this the show of Apple Mango, the S-class Hero a.k.a the Guardian of Seoul?]
[Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you]
[It feels like yesterday when he went underwater for 4 months. Is this for real? The real Mango Stick is a legend…]
[Did you break it down because you knew this would happen? Please explain]
[But where are you? Why is it so dark?]
[What kind of crazy thing are you going to do today?]
A steep rise in the number of viewers.
I greeted them with open arms.
"Hello, everyone! Welcome to my Ego-Live!"
HanEun Group’s members must be watching this, right?
Eat some shit.
The association… Well.
They're the ones who never opened the shield because they were scared of this place anyway. But I'll kill some monsters on the way, so I bet they’ll be happy, right? I guess so
***
"Damn it! Can you get in touch with Stardus now?"
"It’s ringing, but she’s not picking it up! Maybe she already went deep inside, since it’s been a while now."
"No, fuck! Why does he have to go in at this time? Now, whether we meet there or not. I don't know. I'm so mad, get me some popcorn, secretary!"
"…Yes, Mr. President."
The president of the association watched the broadcast of Egostic while munching the popcorn brought by his secretary.
It was the situation where people would say, "Enjoy it if you can't avoid it."
