Episode 157. Environment Creation (9)

“Since there won’t be anyone listening here… I’ll guide you.”

It might be a trap. It might be completely useless information.

The guys who were overflowing in Blacrohn were scammers. The soldiers from Stella City were ‘relatively’ rich, and all sorts of rascals were flocking to them.

But his eyes looked very serious. Even if you didn’t listen to him, the meaningless search would still have to continue.

“What do you want?”

“I don’t want much… just enough money to get out of this city?”

It’s so realistic. If this information was really valuable, it wouldn’t be strange to ask for much more than this.

As I paused to analyze his true feelings, the man opened his mouth again as if apologizing.

“You, is that too much? Sorry. Living in Blakron, your sense of economy is bound to be shattered.”

“No, I can do that much. But why is that necessary?”

“Even though it’s such trivial information… I feel like if I tell this to the people of Stella City, the captain won’t leave me alone. Shouldn’t I have at least some money for escape expenses?”

I smiled faintly.

If you think about it, it was all thanks to the cooperation of the ‘Blacron citizens’ that we were able to find Evan inside Blacrohn.

If he had won the position by force, it would not be surprising if his dominance melted away when the Stella City army entered the city.

I didn’t earn their hatred. On the contrary, some Blakron citizens were taking so much from us that they were afraid of the Stella City army leaving.

This cooperation won’t last forever. Stella City isn’t exactly a great place to live right now, and after a while, public opinion will start to slowly grow, wondering, “Is it right to spend so much money on a city that has nothing to do with us?”

Despite this, the citizens of Blakron fought against Evan without any hesitation. Rather than fearing him, they chose immediate benefits.

“Then, guide me.”

Of course, we won’t know whether this man is a scammer or not until we reach our destination.

But if he was telling the truth, I thought I could smile a little brighter.

I fought him and won.

“The internal investigation is not over yet. There may be problems, so I suggest you come back tomorrow…….”

“Thank you for your concern, Brandon. But this is not possible.”

Surprisingly, the information the man gave me was true.

There was something inside. It was hard to tell what had happened inside, even because of the signs of the explosion, but it didn’t look like a normal office.

“Your Majesty’s thoughts are correct. This structure is definitely strange.”

The ‘suspicious space’ we had been looking for from the beginning was everywhere.

“What on earth were you doing here…….”

Inside the tunnel leading underground, there was a huge facility made of wide concrete.

A huge pile of steel and concrete debris blocked the road, but the advance team had already cleared the way.

And what was inside, even if it was just a trace, was not something that could be ignored.

“Certainly, it is not a problem that can be easily overcome.”

Common sense tells you that a company’s office is just that. There’s no reason for it to be full of personality.

A similarly structured office, break room, steam room, and room for executives. That should be enough.

But this place, or rather the ‘traces’ here, were a little different.

“It looks like a research lab, or a laboratory. No matter how much I think about it, there was no need to build a facility like this in Blacrohn.”

“It’s strange…….”

It’s too big to be called a simple office. If it was a facility with this much staff and space, I wouldn’t know, but Sansuhwa should have figured it out by now.

But we knew nothing. It was as if someone was hiding information about this space.

“Are you checking the information?”

“Reports are still coming in. After checking, it appears that the man is not the only one who noticed this space.”

“It didn’t seem like a lot of people knew about it, but there were often people who knew that this place had something to do with Evan.”

“But no one knew specifically what this place was for. At least, it didn’t seem to be a space where outsiders could move around.”

It was sealed. The entrance was hidden and it was difficult to find a proper passage.

“It seemed like there were quite a few facilities.”

It was horrible. Rotting, rotten, smelly corpses were piled in the corners of the room.

As I continued to walk through the facility, I was greeted by a desolate sight that even felt like luck.

“It’s dangerous. We go first-.”

“It’ll be okay in a little while.”

After leaving Brandon and his group alone for a moment, I took a few steps forward with Sansuhwa.

Just a little deeper, so that their stories cannot be heard.

“Sign language. This… I’m not mistaken, am I?”

“I thought the same thing.”

From the moment I first heard the report, I felt quite uneasy.

If it were my usual personality, I would have deployed a large number of Hansan privates and only then entered this place after safety was ensured.

The reason I didn’t do that was because I instinctively felt that there shouldn’t be too many ‘people who know about this’.

“I did some research.”

“Yes. It is true that Hansan advanced into Blakron, but there was no such facility there. This is a fact confirmed through our internal database.”

“That’s right. This place has nothing to do with us. But……”

It’s an empty room. It’s a space where nothing exists except the walls.

But from that architectural style and the walls, I and the landscape painting also felt something.

“……It doesn’t look like a mountain?”

“I can’t be sure. There’s too little evidence to be certain.”

“Still, this…….”

When entering this world as a ‘player’, the main enemy in most routes was Hansan.

As someone who has raided Hansan’s lab several times, I couldn’t help but suspect that the exterior walls and structure of this building were strangely similar to Hansan’s.

“Even if I try to find information… this place seems to be in much worse shape than the other offices.”

“Someone has committed sabotage here… but that’s not all. Separately, there has been an effort to hide information.”

“It’s neat. This isn’t the kind of cover-up that a criminal from Blakron could pull off.”

“That?”

The painter took a step into the ruins and carefully lifted the debris.

“It’s a trace of a special drug. It seems like they tried to erase all traces, including traces of electronic equipment, cells, and viruses.”

I nodded slowly. No matter how much my eyes were strengthened, the field of vision my eyes could see was ultimately not much different from that of a normal human.

Considering the implants that Sansuhwa was wearing, it wouldn’t be surprising if she found out information that I couldn’t find.

“Is that also Hansan’s thing?”

“This is also difficult to determine. Too much time has passed, making it difficult to analyze traces of the drug, and if they are drugs with similar purposes, there is a possibility that the composition of Hansanje’s drug and that of drugs made by other companies may not be very different.”

“So they’re similar.”

“In my opinion, yes.”

How likely is it that a company large enough to undertake such a task would use an architectural style and materials similar to those of Hansan?

“We have to handle it within our own lines as much as possible. It can’t be good for too many people to know.”

“If there are enemies within Hansan… I’m sorry to say this, but it might be difficult for us to handle.”

Within Stella City, Hansan’s influence is absolute. Hansanwoo has been in Stella City for over ten years, and no matter how debaucherous his years have been, he still has at least a modicum of control.

But Blacrohn was outside my influence. If someone within Hansan was plotting this, there was a chance they would be unhappy with our ‘investigation’.

“Anyway… there’s nothing of immediate use here either.”

“Our investigation revealed that when Evan first appeared on this street, he appeared by blowing up the entrance to this facility. Witnesses also said that no one had ever been this deep before.”

“There was no reason to look through it.”

I was getting closer to the truth, but there were too many walls to overcome.

“First of all, can we say that we’ve found one of the reasons why he became stronger?”

“It’s uncertain… but it’s the most plausible evidence I’ve found so far.”

“If a city like Blacrohn had a facility that cost this much money, it might have been possible to create a human being like Evan.”

But this too could not be considered a proper achievement.

The most important hacker’s whereabouts were never found. The facility had been abandoned for years, and it was impossible to find any plausible evidence.

“Call the Doris Mercenaries, and Brandon…….”

“I think he’s a trustworthy person, but he’s not a subordinate. If you think there might be enemies inside Hansan, they too… for a moment.”

She grabbed my shoulder.

“There is something ahead.”
