29. Locked in a locked room alone with the heroine
#29. Locked in a locked room alone with the heroine
The number of monsters was increasing.
“Mister… Is this something strange?”
“… I know.”
Cynthia moved her arms incessantly.
Nevertheless, the number of monsters showed no signs of diminishing.
‘… I’m sorry Sia. I think I touched something wrong. But it wasn’t like this in the original… ? Why is he like this?’
I stared blankly at the device I operated.
I remembered the operation properly.
Even if you don’t remember it in the first place, all you have to do is push it away. It’s not even a hard push.
But why are there so many monsters suddenly appearing?
‘When Lee Soo-hyuk touched it, it only doubled… 6 Times now… No, it seems to be eight times.’
I could see why right away.
[ You have manipulated the device. ]
[ The number of monsters increases according to the number of people. ]
A sound came into my head.
Turning around, the bodyguards didn’t say anything, so they didn’t seem to hear. Seeing that Cynthia was also unresponsive, she seemed to hear only me.
It seemed that only the person who operated the device could hear it.
‘The number of monsters increased after 4 people came in?’
I nodded.
I wondered why, but that was it. Because Lee Soo-hyuk came in alone. He doubled when pushed and.
We are four times that. Since 4 people came in, an 8x monster appeared.
It was a simple calculation, but it worked.
‘Then I can run it again.’
I operated the device again in the opposite direction.
But an unexpected sound came into my head.
[ The device has been operated again. ]
[The number of monsters is back to normal… Award…. ]
‘What is it? Why is this?’
Has the device gone bad? It’s the material inside the gate, so I don’t know what it is. Is there anything that tastes good?
I hit the device with my fist a few times.
I didn’t want it to work, so I secretly called the bodyguard.
-Can only one person come here?
– Yes.
-You see this? This is the manipulation device that comes out of the monster over there. I can’t hear you all of a sudden Could you take a look?
-Let’s check.
The bodyguard looked at the control device several times and then tilted her head.
– Hmm. Interesting.
Then, like me, he hit the controller.
It was a Korean habit. First of all, if you don’t listen to things like electronic devices, hit them and watch them…. But it had unforeseen consequences.
The control device was broken.
-… ….
-… Sorry.
He has apologized.
Me and the bodyguard were all taken aback.
I was going to tell him that it was okay, but… A completely unpleasant voice came into my head.
[ Award… in state… Crackle…. ]
[ Device, width, note. ]
‘… What runaway?’
I wondered if something serious would happen if I ran out of control… Came up
[ Warning! Warning! Warning! ]
[ The entrance is sealed. ]
‘The madman… No, what the f*ck are you warning me about? Why are the entrances sealed?’
Deed deed deed deed.
The cave began to shake violently.
Stone crumbs fell from the ceiling.
‘Damn it… Sia Hidden Peace is also almost open….’
Due to the increasing number of monsters at once, the opening of Cynthia’s Hidden Peace is almost at hand.
I think I’ll just have to hunt a little more like this… Things weren’t too good.
This is all because of the culture of Koreans. I was going to finish it a little earlier, but it looks like sh*t.
‘Do I have to step down like this?’
I was conflicted when I saw Sia blocking the monster.
You can’t see it, but there are bodyguards nearby. If I or Cynthia are in danger, she will act immediately.
The identity of the bodyguards will be revealed, but more than that, it was good to open the Hidden Peace this time.
-Hidden Peace, Symbol of Libra.
The symbol of balance, a hidden piece obtained by Cynthia.
Libra engraved on the palm of her hand. It was originally obtained by Lee Soo-hyeok. He opened the Hidden Peace through months of hunting, and later regretted it.
Because I heard the characteristics of the pattern of the scale from a person with the Characteristic.
‘The pattern of Libra is a fraud characteristic of the shorter the opening time from the acquisition time of the pattern. If we open it up here, it will be a solid foundation.’
An extremely short amount of time.
I had a lot of worries. I’m not going to hold out like this any longer.
And then, I heard a voice in my ear that would shorten the trouble.
-CEO. Things are starting to look bad. All doors are open.
Four doors within the gate were opened.
I hurriedly turned her head and looked in the direction where Cynthia was. Monsters hadn’t come out of the blue and purple doors yet, but monsters had come out of the yellow doors.
Cynthia was already being pushed back. The monsters that came out of the yellow door couldn’t even catch them.
‘Damn it. Can not help it.’
Even if the bodyguards deal with the rest of the monsters… With all the doors open, the risk was too great.
It was right to withdraw like this.
Since the entrance was sealed, it was only right that Cynthia and I were protected by the two after having the bodyguards sort out the monsters.
With that in mind, it was time to call Cynthia.
A monster came out of the blue door.
‘I have to get Sia out right now.’
I ran towards Shia.
“Siyah!”
“Ah, mister? It’s dangerous! Don’t come!”
I grabbed the flustered Sia and rolled backwards.
Quaang! A red-faced troll was standing where Cynthia was, staring at me.
And in front of me, two bodyguards who had broken stealth drew their weapons at the troll.
***
Looking at the current situation, Cynthia couldn’t understand.
A woman and a man in a black suit suddenly appeared.
They were slaughtering all the monsters in front of their eyes.
‘… What’s the situation?’
Obviously, only you and the uncle entered the gate, but what do they mean… ?
“Sorry. Shiaya. I’ll explain later.”
“… I have too many questions to ask.”
Cynthia said while digging into Han Seong-jin’s arms.
There were too many questions. A lot of strange things… A man who casually handed out a huge contract and even took a bodyguard with him… She also wondered why she was being taught self-defense by herself, who was only a cadet.
I was going to ask you slowly later. I couldn’t stand it. I wanted to know that much.
“I will answer everything.”
“… Let me tell you one thing first. Who is that woman?”
Cynthia wondered why such a question came out of her mouth all of a sudden. She didn’t mean to ask this. Cynthia rushed the question.
“Ah. She didn’t mean to ask this. I was going to ask who those people in black suits were.”
“My bodyguards.”
“Ah….”
“Siya. Hold on a little There is a fixed time for the monsters to appear, so you just have to wait until then. Now, an unexpected situation has occurred and the entrance is blocked. I’m sorry. I didn’t know this happened.”
“No.”
Cynthia shook her head. Han Seong-jin definitely brought it for himself. Although such an unfortunate situation has occurred… She was getting over safely.
And if anything happened, she wouldn’t blame him.
“They are fighting well.”
“… It’s like that.”
Seongjin Han replied with a smile.
The man and woman in black suits were even taking down the monster in the blue door with overwhelming force.
Things were going smoothly.
It was a bit complicated and there were a lot of problems, but I thought that it would go on without any problems.
But… There was one thing I overlooked.
The monster hasn’t appeared in the purple door yet.
Then, a monster with a huge presence came out of that door.
***
“… This.”
Bodyguard Ha Yeon-joo was nervous as she saw the monster coming out of the purple door.
It was the first monster I had ever seen, but judging by the aura… Class A seemed certain.
‘It won’t be difficult to deal with, but… I can’t escort them if they come out in droves.’
Ha Yeon-joo and Ban Ji-hoon, direct bodyguards with skills that reach the level of advanced heroes.
With the two of them, they were confident that they could survive no matter how many monsters swarmed them. However, if there was an escort target, the story was different.
“This makes things a bit complicated… Maybe it would be better for the CEO and the young lady to evacuate?”
“Have you seen it?”
“Oh. I’ll move it. Jihoon, you are catching a monster.”
After a short talk, the two moved on to action.
‘By the way, the CEO is really… You must have liked younger people. Aren’t you a bit risky?’
Ha Yeon-ju looked at Han Seong-jin and thought. She was usually cold-hearted, and she was the one who couldn’t talk. Although she has changed a bit since retiring… It was after I met a woman named Cynthia over there that I showed a dramatic change.
‘CEO doesn’t seem to be aware of it yet… i need some help It seems that the young lady already has a little heart.’
She and the vast majority of her mercenaries were loyal to Han Seong-jin. He was not a mercenary. Ha Yeon-joo was one of those people.
And now, even in the midst of this danger, she thought of helping Han Seong-jin in his love business.
Originally, love blooms in a crisis.
“CEO. Miss. Excuse me for a minute?”
Ha Yeon-joo made them hug each other, then grabbed them at once and took off.
There was a space that I had prepared in advance.
After running a little, there was a wall in the way.
‘Here.’
She put her magic into it. Then the wall opened. As a result of checking, it was clear that it was a safe space.
“Huh? Hey wait… Too narrow here….”
Han Seong-jin, who usually uses honorifics, inadvertently used short words. Ha Yeon-joo didn’t care about that and pushed him and Cynthia into that cramped space.
It is enough space for two people to hug and enter. I will be able to breathe
mmm. When a man and a woman stick together in an enclosed space, love that never existed will sprout.
“I’ll get it out soon. Monsters won’t detect this place. Then I’ll be right back!”
Ha Yeon-ju greeted Han Seong-jin with a wink in one of her eyes.
Then, I gave her magic and closed the door again.
‘… No, it’s not like that.’
I don’t know why everyone misunderstands the relationship between himself and Cynthia. Han Seong-jin was just unfair.
“That, mister… It’s a bit tight… ?”
By the way, there was a problem right in front of me.
Even though the space was small, it was too narrow. It didn’t seem like the space was created by two people in the first place.
And since it’s attached, that… I could feel the flesh.
