How to Survive as a Villain in a Novel - Chapter 89
89 – Evidence Collection (4)
Column-shaped incubators lined up.
It is full of green liquid.
Me and Han Chae-yoon walked through it.
– Bubbly
The sound of boiling bubbles coming from inside the incubator makes the atmosphere here even more gloomy.
“…Why on earth does a place like this exist?”
Han Chae-yoon whispered as she passed an incubator containing an ear connected to the brain.
It was a disgusting place that was hard to bear without saying something.
“It looks like it’s for research, but I don’t know what kind of research they’re doing that gives them these organs.”
“These organs are not cultured together. The cut edges are rough, as if they were cut from somewhere.”
“It’s probably harvested from living human organs. One thing’s for sure, it’s not legal.”
Jeopuk.
When the words ended, only the sound of cold footsteps filled the space.
“It’s a little strange.”
Suddenly a thought occurred to me.
Han Chae-yoon answers right away.
“There aren’t too many people, right?”
“At this scale, dozens of people would be needed just to manage it.”
“It’s definitely strange. But I don’t think it’s a trap…”
The air was somehow cold and bitter.
Of course, instinct and mood often act keenly. In this situation, it is clear that my intuition is not good.
But we have no choice.
Even if you leave now, there is no guarantee that you will be able to come back.
“We have to see the end somehow.”
“I agree.”
We nodded and walked.
The presence was still hidden.
In front of us, we saw the person we were following turn to the side.
The area beyond was blocked by a wall.
I turned around to follow him.
“…Ah.”
It was Han Chae-yoon who sighed.
It is not common.
Because she rarely shows her emotions.
Of course, I am good at expressing my emotions, but…
I was kind of an exception to her.
Therefore, the scenery that Han Chae-yoon sees now is not at all unusual.
After turning the corner, I also sighed inwardly.
“…”
What was there?
It was similar to before.
A huge incubator like a pillar.
Organs contained within.
However, there were a few differences.
The liquid filling the incubator was reddish.
There wasn’t just one organ inside it.
Eyes.
Brain.
Liver.
…
All sorts of things were added in a grotesque and bizarre way.
“… This is not human.”
Han Chae-yoon pointed to one her with her hand her
There were wings there.
Wings only visible in devil-type dangerous species.
It was connected to the distinct spine of the human.
It wasn’t just one.
Most of the long lines were like that.
“I guess they were making a chimera…”
Han Chae-yoon muttered.
It seemed so.
“At least this place.”
“… What does that mean? Does it seem like there’s something else?”
Han Chae-yoon looked up at me.
I nodded.
Because she had no reason to reveal her mystery.
“The only things here are body parts. The rest are definitely…”
The moment I was about to continue speaking.
— Clink!
One of the incubators exploded.
Water pouring down.
The thick bloody smell fills my nose.
I stared ahead, suppressing an instinctive feeling of nausea.
Animal-like nails, stained red, broke the incubator and were sticking out.
“Damage!”
I quickly grabbed Han Chae-yoon.
— Faaat!
The man’s fingernails passed by the spot where Han Chae-yoon was at an unbelievable speed.
Gurgling.
Sticky liquids that make the floor soggy.
With a crunching sound, it jumped over the incubator and landed on the floor.
Legs with hairy inverted joints.
It clearly belongs to a beast-type monster.
But the body is different again.
Smooth like a reptile.
And the claws of a wild beast, and the face of a person.
One eye of the half-blushed face was staring in this direction, red.
“… It seems like a combination of only the strongest parts of top-tier monsters.”
It was just as Han Chae-yoon said.
The human head is probably designed to utilize reason and the brain.
A feeling of instinctive nausea arose.
“Guuu!”
Of course, he didn’t seem to feel that.
No – if human reason remains, I might feel it.
At least they were looking at us as if they were enemies.
Dadada!
The guy rushed in.
It’s incredible speed.
It surpasses most heroes.
I thought that maybe that head belonged to a hero.
Fortunately, the target is me.
Open your mind.
He is strong but instinctive.
Weaknesses are vividly captured.
The moment his hand was about to touch the nape of my neck.
Taaat!
I used Blink.
A teleporter that leaves its location in an instant.
For me who has regained my sight, this transport no longer has any limitations.
“Oh?”
The guy tilts his head as if embarrassed.
As expected.
Physical ability is overwhelming, but judgment is poor.
It does not appear to be a completed test subject.
“Go in peace.”
I radiated malice from the sky above his head
Ppajik.
A sword that cuts off a guy’s head cleanly.
Toad duduk.
The guy’s head rolled on the floor with only one eye open.
Coo!
A body that has lost its owner falls and makes a loud sound.
That was the problem.
“…You guys!”
The researchers we were following came back.
Deeply drawn hood.
When I saw the eyes inside, I unconsciously asked back.
“Seo Hayoon?”
Former student council president Seo Hayoon.
After being defeated by me, she was almost stripped of her successor status and was looking at us.
Why is he coming out from there?
◆
“What are you guys doing here!”
Seo Hayoon let out an angry voice.
I simply shrugged.
“I happened to come here and there was a place like this.”
“Does that make sense? How strict is the security here!”
“Then why are you here?”
“That’s it!”
Seo Hayun rolled her eyes.
Seo Hayoon’s concept Her Her is to always maintain a pretense of being arrogant without being cheesy.
Academy crack explosion incident.
Because Seo Hayoon was the one who blamed all those things on me but was confident.
Therefore, the current Seo Hayoon who is anxious is not like her.
This is probably why he was fired as student council president and the succession structure was ruined, causing great mental shock.
Anyone can see that Seo Hayoon is quite broken.
“I don’t care what anyone says! This is a company that I will own someday! I am the owner!”
“Is that really the case?”
“Of course. It’s a little off right now, but someday-“
“What about one day? Kill all your brothers and sisters and take over the company?”
Seo Hayoon’s face turned bright red at my sarcastic remark.
Well, I don’t think it’s that sarcastic.
In order for her to rise up the ranks of successors, she will have no choice but to kill all of her brothers and sisters.
As she chuckled, Seo Hayoon’s eyes rolled over.
“Joo, I’m going to kill you. Lee Han. If it weren’t for you, I should have had this place!”
Crack!
She clenched her fist so hard that she made a sound.
Even so, she couldn’t be defeated easily.
It’s probably because I witnessed my skills firsthand in the previous Yoon Hyun-jin awakening episode.
Even though he is angry, he slowly notices my feelings.
I whispered to Han Chae-yoon.
‘Let’s just scare them.’
‘Are you just scared?’
‘Huh. It’s clear that they came here for some purpose.’
‘It’s to see where they might run away.’
‘That’s right.’
Crack.
The exchange of opinions was completed by nodding to each other.
From noble mtl dot come
“W-what are you trying to do?”
Seo Hayun took a step back from her.
That makes it even more suspicious.
“No, just. I wanted to ask you something. You said this is yours. You probably know a lot.”
“No? Can you please not come?”
“Well, when I was a first year student, I was told that I had to stay on standby even if I didn’t call you. Be it at night or early in the morning.”
“Well, that was back then! It’s important now…!”
“Is it important?”
Green onion!
Seo Hayun turned around and started running.
“Let’s chase!”
“Yes!”
Seo Hayun is also a talented person who is ranked among the top five in her grade at Orbis Academy.
Her movements were clearly agile
“…Here!”
Before we knew it, we had left the space we had been in a while ago and were running down the hallway.
A dark hallway.
The color of the guide line on the floor had suddenly changed to red.
“If you see him running away like that even though he could have called for help, it’s clear he’s trying to cause trouble.”
“It wouldn’t be normal if it had to be hidden.”
“I think Seo Hayun is probably the reason why there are so few people around.”
We quickly chased after Seo Hayun.
Maintaining just enough distance to make her feel like she was properly running away.
At some point.
Jeopuk, Jeopuk!
The sound of footsteps started to get louder.
The story was that the floor was wet.
A faint bloody smell also began to emerge.
“Over there!”
Seo Hayun took a sharp turn around the corner that was blocked by a wall.
I hurriedly followed.
And the moment you turn the corner.
“Ah.”
A wide space caught my eye.
It was full of a thick bloody smell.
In one corner of the space, people were piled up like a mountain.
They looked like corpses, but they didn’t seem to be rotting.
Thousands of nine.
If it was rotting like that, the smell would be as bad as hell.
And the other side.
“Well, what is that… “
There was a huge incubator.
No. Can we define that as ‘huge’?
The size of the incubator was like a small apartment.
And inside it, an unidentified black liquid was seen.
Very dark.
A liquid that you don’t know what it was brewed with.
