452. Backfire (2)

Lin looked at Hildebert with a shocked face.

“Why?!”

“That’s right, Captain. Just come to my house!”

Rose also raised her head and asked.

“I have a few more houses to go to!”

“Lin’s third flat was in a good location.”

Hildebert answered while absentmindedly opening a file saved on his hard drive.

“I’ll pay for your lodging later. Just bear with it for a little longer.”

“Yes? But my third flat is really really small. Would you reconsider? Even though Rose is young, she’s smart and has a good eye for detail, so she would have bought it neatly without me having to go.”

“I’ll give you some palm time while you stay.”

Hildebert said absentmindedly.

“All the time you’re in my space.”

Lin dropped her chin.

Rose covered her mouth with both hands.

She shook her red eyes wildly and let out a trembling voice.

“That, that, that, that, that, that too… .”

“When are you planning on coming… No, when are you planning on coming?”

As soon as she heard Rose’s reaction, Lin quickly came to her senses.

He came to Rose’s other side and knelt down.

“I will serve you with utmost care.”

“Thank you. Let’s go and mingle with the after-work crowd this evening.”

“Oh, good. I guess I’ll have to go back around lunchtime and clean up the house first. It’s been a while since I’ve used it and it’s starting to get dusty.”

Hildebert didn’t answer. He seemed preoccupied with some file on Don Child’s hard drive.

Lin took advantage of the gap and ran away from Hildebert excitedly.

Rose took advantage of the gap to admire Hildebert’s face intently.

Only after the sun had fully risen did Hildebert come out of his immersive state.

“How about a tour of the core factory?”

“It’s over! It’s much more difficult than the Green Dream factory. Even though the divorce proceedings are in progress, Green Dream is still Heath’s wife in name, so she has an access card. However, we still have to infiltrate the Portal Factory. We won’t be able to get help from the Choi family anymore.”

“It’s too bad. But I found out the location of the factory.”

Hildebert now rubbed his left calf with both hands.

As Rose stared at him, Hildebert calmly changed the subject.

“What are you going to do?”

Hildebert does not participate in the retrieval of the core device.

Because I judged that there was no need to go that far. Rose, Igor, and You were enough there. Lin was in charge of procuring supplies, and Deltey had no way of helping.

She will stay at her house for the time being, sorting out the paperwork Hildebert throws at her and taking care of security indirectly.

Meanwhile, Hildebert, who would soon become a social outcast, was not planning to move unless he had to use his sword.

Colton will only step forward if someone in the Black Badger group is in danger or someone needs to be eliminated.

Until you get your hands on the core device.

Rose smiled and answered as if she had memorized the script.

“The core device factory is protected by a base, but Igor will destroy the substation and distribution box connected to the factory’s central power and communication lines. I will wait in the building next door and shoot at the factory’s auxiliary generator and gate to attach wires. I plan to attach a container with a motor to the wire, deliver explosives, and then electrically stimulate it to blow up the auxiliary generator and gate. The core device is periodically targeted. The media will report this as the work of gangs or thieves.”

“Do you need wire guns, explosives, motorized containers, and night vision goggles?”

“I already have the last two, and Lin said she’d get the explosives tomorrow. They said it’s hard to get a wire gun, so they told me to shoot arrows with a rifle attached to a string, but if I can’t get a wire gun, I’ll do that.”

“It looks like there’s no problem.”

Hildebert gave his approval to the plan without hesitation.

“Is the driver here?”

“yes!”

“Take care. If anything happens, contact me immediately.”

“Yes, Captain!”

“Four or five. I don’t need up to six.”

The white-haired man stood up after finishing speaking.

After tapping his left foot, he didn’t move for a moment, his eyes drifting into the air.

Only after hearing Igor open the front door and come in did Hildebert turn around.

“You remember Colton, don’t you?”

Rose smiled broadly with her red eyes at the question he asked while looking down at me.

“sure.”

“You know what kind of person you are, right?”

“He’s a very attractive psychopath, isn’t he?”

The woman who had been imprisoned in the dungeon laughed happily, covering her mouth with her thin fingers.

“I think there is an eye for it because you like the captain!”

“He’s the kind of guy who’d shoot me in the heart without hesitation and then make me cry.”

Hildebert said in an emotionless voice.

“If I had fallen in front of Colton with my memory lost, I would have been on drugs for the second time.”

Rose smiled and agreed with her boss.

After that, I watched Hildebert sighing and then spoke softly.

“Only by dying or kneeling can one become completely beautiful.”

She let out a small laugh.

“You think of each other like that, don’t you?”

Hildebert smiled faintly but did not answer.

He relaxed his hands and feet again and left, saying he was going to get some shut-eye.

Scar called everyone into the conference room around 6 a.m.

The Black Badgers did not sleep a moment until his summons was given. Those who had been silently staring blankly stood up and went to receive orders.

The headquarters is in disarray due to an unprecedented incident.

Many employees were still gathered in the lobby. Richard Green and Arshile Fisker even reportedly stormed into the executive office where Gilbert was.

We tried to control it, but reporters were also crowded into the lobby… .

Scar, who was unable to leave his post for various reasons including announcing an official position, assigned the task of visiting the CIS headquarters to the selected individuals.

“The advisor will go as the representative. Lee Ho and Yoon will follow Ye Hyun and properly investigate the scene. Jonathan, you have encountered the ash-colored cloak with Hilde, so check if it was used in the interrogation. Jack, if the creature is alive, go and investigate the situation.”

Scar wanted to send home those who did not complete the mission.

But it received enormous protests.

Scar let out a deep sigh when he heard the words, “Please reconsider,” not only from Ricardo and Ami, but even from Karl, who had never complained before.

“I knew this would happen.”

The man quickly gave up on persuasion.

“Okay. Let’s go together, but don’t go and cause trouble. If we cause trouble in this situation, public opinion will change and it will be difficult to respond. And if a creature appears, go to support them right away. If they hear that you’ve left a gap in your work, things will get complicated again.”

Those who heard the earnest request headed straight to the CIS headquarters.

They split into two cars. Those who had been given the mission got into one car, and Ricardo, Ami, Carl, and Sophia got into the other car and set off.

They reached my building at incredible speed and were stopped at the entrance.

However, when Ye-Hyeon stuck her head out the passenger window and said a few words, the security guards backed off.

“Advisor.”

The head of the information center even rushed out from inside the premises.

“I really don’t know what to say. We had no idea about this… We had no idea about this at all…”

“I want to see the scene.”

Yehyun answered coldly.

“Please show me all the CCTV footage.”

Several, including Ricardo, caught the acting director of information exchanging stern glances with his aide.

It seems to be a reaction to the words CCTV footage.

The exchange of glances was short. The acting director quickly straightened his expression and nodded.

“This way.”

They entered a building with a tight control line.

“We had a hard time opening the door at first because only authorized personnel are allowed to enter. As you know, information between departments is blocked…”

So I entered the interrogation room.

Broken chains. Walls and floors riddled with shell slashes.

The floor, which was once white, is now the color of dried blood.

On the floor lay a thick, heavy chain, like a giant snake. Two of them seemed to have been cut by bullets, and the other two had something attached to their ends.

The badgers took a sharp breath.

“Hilde Son.”

Ami walked towards the left right hand and chanted.

“Hilde’s left ankle… Is that Hilde’s?”

“That’s right. You have calluses on your hands.”

Yoon leaned down and looked down at his wrists, which were still chained.

“It must be hard to have three hands covered in calluses like this.”

Ami and Sophia’s faces turned pale.

The reaction wasn’t intense. Everyone swallowed their emotions at seeing the body parts in person.

Yoon, Ricardo, and Jonathan begin to examine parts of their junior’s body closely.

Lee Ho explained the structure of the interrogation room to Ye Hyun, and Kairos stood in front of the vent and raised his head.

Ye-Hyeon approached the anxious deputy director and asked for the CCTV footage. She said that there was a tape in the interrogation room, and that she wanted that one.

The director gave his consent, but then brought up the subject of the press to Ye-Hyeon.

“We are really in a difficult situation….”

His and Ye-Hyeon’s quiet conversation was interrupted a while later by an employee who came in carrying a laptop.

Everyone gathered in front of their laptops.

The acting director adjusted the video bar with a bitter expression.

“You see, this is the last scene before the ashen cloak illusion and the fog cover it.”

“Are you licking the water now?”

Sophia’s muttering.

The silence that had fallen was broken by Ricardo’s muttering mixed with laughter.

“Look at your physical condition… .”

“Please send the video to me separately.”

The image quickly disappeared from sight.

Because Yehyun closed the laptop lid roughly.

“And would you mind leaving us alone in this room for a while?”

“Huh? That’s….”

“Chief.”

Yehyun’s voice became cold.

“You know what the situation is like, right?”

So only Badgers are left in the interrogation room.

They didn’t ask Ye-Hyeon why she closed her laptop. Instead, they dispersed and started to quietly figure out the situation.

Everyone moved with their mouths shut.

After about five minutes, we heard our superior’s order and gathered at the place where the blood was thickest.

The area where Hildebert was lying in the video.

Ye-Hyeon gave instructions as if sighing.

“Tell me what you found out. I can confirm for sure that there is no wiretapping device.”

“I cut off my own limbs.”

Yoon said.

“The cross-section is so clean.”

“That’s professional work~.”

Ricardo sneered.

“I also checked the cross-section.”

Jonathan added.

After finishing speaking, I reinforced my meaning by tapping the Japanese sword I was holding.

Silence came. Everyone stood still and did not move.

Ear-piercing… .

Silence… .

“Did Hilde cut it?”

“yes.”

“ah.”

Yehyun made a short sound.

The silence continued again.

No one moved from their seats.

for a long time….

“That’s fun.”

Yehyun snorted.
