Regression Sword Apocalypse Reconquest - Chapter 104
Only Noblemtl
Episode 104
We see security guards and researchers moving back and forth between the mansion and the research building, hiding their bodies.
“I guess I’ll have to figure out how to infiltrate from now on.”
The book the fairy merchant gave me also contained inside information.
I plan to plan an infiltration route with reference to that.
“The ultimate goal is to extract the data from the lowest floor of the research building, and as an intermediate step, we need to obtain an access card to enter the research building.”
“I guess I’ll have to get the access card from a wealthy person in the mansion?”
Choi Sung-hyun looks at the mansion with anxious eyes.
“I think so. The people on the upper floors of the research building are usually low-level researchers.”
“Cha Ye-seong is right. And the research building is usually crowded with people. It’s not a good idea to attack people. If you cause a scene, the situation at the lowest level will change.”
The steps become clear.
First, we need a way to infiltrate the mansion.
Sehyuk made a decision.
“It would be better to disguise yourself as a security guard and go to a secluded place.”
“Your face will look different, will that be okay?”
“I have no choice but to avoid meeting people as much as possible.”
Sehyuk looked at the two security guards at the door.
“Only Jang Young-soo and I can subdue them.”
Charged straight ahead. Sehyuk hit the two guards hard in the head with the back of his sword before the two guards noticed and could scream.
Two security guards fell to the floor without making a sound.
Sehyuk finished it off cleanly by hitting the guards’ necks and foreheads with an expressionless face. So that there would be no variables.
From now on, it’s Jang Young-soo’s time.
Jang Young-soo’s specialty is joint manipulation. He breaks the joints of the victims so that they cannot move even after they are knocked out, and then he ties their mouths tightly with the cloth he brought beforehand.
After completely subduing them, Sehyuk snatched the name tags and access cards from the unconscious guards.
“With this, I guess I’ll be able to walk around the mansion quite a bit.”
“What should we do next?”
Sehyuk is already dressed in a suit, so it’s okay. Sehyuk handed the suits over to Cha Ye-seong and Choi Sung-hyun.
“Only me, Choi Sunghyun, and Cha Yesung will infiltrate the mansion. Little Dragon, follow me while wearing your invisibility.”
“why?”
“It would be better for someone who uses foresight to infiltrate. Not to mention Choi Sung-hyun who handles tools. And if you’re left alone and get caught, it’ll be difficult.”
In fact, I did consider the option of leaving Sunghyun Choi behind.
Being able to operate mechanical devices is a huge merit, but Choi Sung-hyun’s athletic ability makes it difficult to escape.
‘I can’t throw it away.’
Seonghyeon Choi trembled as if he was anxious under Sehyuk’s gaze.
There is a way to cover it up though.
It is judged that it would be better for Jang Young-soo, who is good at covert actions, and Han Si-hyeon, who has the advantage of mountainous terrain, to take on the role of clearing out anyone who comes near.
Now that you’ve finished with the guards, all you have to do is throw it away in a quiet place where no one will go.
Sehyuk dug a hole in the mountain and covered the two with leaves.
“This is the rule for trash cans.”
“Don’t say anything weird, Cha Ye-seong. And Han Si-hyeon, please.”
“Oh, I’m your teacher? Stop calling me that.”
Even as she said that, Han Si-hyeon did what Se-hyeok wanted.
The tree touched by Han Si-Hyeon’s hand creaks and moves, wrapping around the two unconscious guards.
It was a brilliant way to hide people perfectly without anyone knowing.
“In fact, at this point, the beings best suited to deal with humans and commit perfect crimes are druids.”
Han Si-hyeon looks at Se-hyeok with a strange gaze.
Sehyuk didn’t even pay attention to those gazes.
“It’s better to bury it alive in a living tree than to put it in a drum and throw it into the sea, so there’s less evidence left. You can also use natural decay.”
“Why are you talking so scary? I’m just going to knock you out for a bit and then let you go.”
“No, you said my trash can comment was a weird comment.”
Sehyuk pretended not to hear again.
After moving the guards, Sehyuk and his group quickly looked around the mansion, looking for security vulnerabilities.
“That place looks okay.”
The place Sehyuk pointed to was a window at the back of the mansion.
“It’s basically a blind spot for the surveillance cameras, and it’s a window that Sunghyun Choi can see through. Sihyun Han, please.”
Han Si-Hyeon grows a tree and lets people inside the wall of the mansion.
Choi Sung-hyun immediately clings to the window.
After a few creaking sounds, Choi Sung-hyun opened the window slightly.
“Fortunately, it seems like there’s no one there.”
“Then, I’ll be back.”
I sneak a peek through the window and head into the room.
“Even if you steal the name tag, there’s no way a bodyguard wouldn’t recognize your face. I try to avoid people as much as possible.”
The inside is spacious, so it’s okay as long as you don’t run into people.
As you step out of the room, the first floor of the villa comes into view.
Several antique brown corridors extend into a huge marble hall that almost looks like a party hall.
It’s a nice villa.
‘It’s quite remarkable that this is just one of the mansions and quarters attached to their laboratory.’
Seoul Survivors’ Coalition.
This is a survivors’ association founded in Seoul by a young tycoon and great magician named ‘Seongsu-gyeol’.
The origin of the name is that their headquarters is in Seoul.
Although they call themselves the Survivors’ Alliance, they are actually an elite group that was created by persuading the wealthy people they know to pool their resources and sponsor talented people.
‘Even though Oh Ji-hoon’s abilities are trash, he was able to become a member of the group because he had the power of a conglomerate.’
No matter how low-life he is, Oh Ji-hoon is a tycoon who leads his own private army.
Even Oh Ji-hoon is treated as a lower-level member, which shows Seo Saeng-yeon’s strength.
‘The next goal is to find the person here who has the underground research building card key and steal it, right?’
‘Yeah. It would be better if I could disguise myself as that person and go to the research building.’
They hide in the hallway, whispering to each other.
‘Where should I go?’
‘If we’re going to do it, it might be better to raid the private room on the upper floor.’
Go up to the third floor of the mansion, avoiding people’s eyes.
As expected of a dirty, large mansion, there were many paths leading up to the third floor.
The book the fairy gave me also included a rough outline of the building’s structure, making it easier to understand.
3rd floor. Where the relatively core members of the Seoul Survivors’ Association live.
Here you need to be a little more careful about your behavior.
That’s why Sehyuk decided not to go up to the third floor.
Stairs leading from the 2nd to the 3rd floor. Choi Sung-hyun looks at Se-hyeok with an anxious expression.
‘But what are you going to do here?’
‘You guys stay here. Yong, in case of emergency, cast an invisibility spell on the two of you.’
Sehyuk immediately opened the window and jumped out.
Cha Ye-seong and Choi Sung-hyun look out the window in surprise.
Sehyuk was moving sideways, clinging to the wall.
‘If we do it this way, it won’t be easy to notice.’
Climb the wall and look inside the window.
To find a big shot who might have a card key.
In the meantime, Sehyuk found a good prey.
I don’t remember the name, but it’s a face I saw before I returned.
He is a chaebol of similar status to Oh Ji-hoon.
Sehyuk’s silver magic cut through the window glass.
A window that opens in an instant.
Sehyuk flies his body like lightning.
“Ugh!”
A conglomerate that was hit and collapsed in an instant.
Sehyuk quickly stripped the guy down to just his underwear.
‘That’s a nice coat. It’ll be good for camouflage.’
I also found the card I wanted.
Definitely knocks you out and ties you up.
With clothes that I don’t even want to touch.
There is no guilt.
‘This kid must be the guy who beat me up since I remember his face.’
I got a card key.
I crawl up the wall again like a squirrel and go to the second floor hallway where Cha Ye-seong and Choi Sung-hyun are waiting.
Cha Ye-seong, who had been fidgeting, welcomes Se-hyeok as he escapes through the window.
‘No, I thought my heart was going to drop!’
I heard that someone briefly passed by in the second floor hallway.
It seems that the small dragon’s transparency led to an incident.
‘Hold on.’
Now that you have the card key, it’s time to go to the research building.
I decide to go down the stairs in a corner that is as deserted as possible.
Go up the other stairs through the second floor.
Since the researchers are exhausted, it is believed that their cognitive abilities will be significantly reduced.
That was actually true. In the first place, the researchers didn’t even bother to look around, and the only one they encountered was too tired to pay attention to Sehyuk and his group.
However, the second floor was not only occupied by researchers.
No one expected this.
A person walking from the opposite direction.
By chance, Sehyuk’s eyes met that person’s.
The moment I saw that face.
Sehyuk’s body became stiff.
‘Holy grail.’
A man with a formidable appearance even at first glance.
I didn’t know Seongsu-gyeol would be here at this point.
And as soon as Sehyuk met Seongsu’s eyes, he felt a strange fear come over him.
‘I want to kill him right now. But something feels strange.’
But that can’t be done.
I don’t mean to sound really scary.
The difference in class. That word was appropriate.
I knew that Seongsu-gyeol was a great magician.
‘But, at this point, there isn’t much difference from before the regression?’
I feel a force so strong that I can’t kill him.
Something was strange.
And Sehyuk guesses that the situation is messed up.
‘If this guy feels that we’re suspicious, we’ll all die right away.’
You should be able to parry a few attacks.
But you can’t win.
There was something strange about Seongsu-gyeol.
A life or death crisis.
Sehyuk desperately suppressed his boiling thoughts and pretended that nothing was wrong.
Seongsu-gyeol and Sehyuk and their party pass by.
A moment that passes by like that.
“hmm.”
Seongsu-gyeol turns around and looks at Sehyuk and his group.
Sehyuk, as well as the two people next to him, froze.
‘Did you notice something?’
If we get caught here, we all die.
Fortunately, nothing much happened.
Seong Su-gyeol glanced at Se-hyeok and his group, then just turned his head and started walking again.
‘I’ve been watching you for ten years.’
Choi Sung-hyun clears his throat.
Meanwhile, Cha Ye-seong is calculating something with a strange look in her eyes.
‘Let’s go back quickly.’
Seonghyeon Choi is complaining. But Sehyuk suddenly has a brilliant idea.
‘Seongsu-gyeol will be staying here too. It’s certain that he left, so the room is empty, right?’
Cha Ye-seong and Se-hyeok’s eyes met.
‘Shall we go and get a haircut?’
‘good.’
Se-hyeok felt that Seong-su-gyeol was a person. One of his major characteristics was that Seong-su-gyeol was a person who enjoyed accumulating resources.
It started with gathering people into the Seoul Survivors’ Association.
Accumulating power through human resources and continuing to roll over wealth. Seongsu-gyeol seemed to be interested in such things, and he was also a talented person.
‘There’s no way a guy like that wouldn’t have hidden some powerful stuff.’
There must be separate facilities for researching powerful equipment and artifacts within that research building.
The law of destruction. The greater the danger, the greater the opportunity.
You can obtain powerful treasures while eating Seongsu-gyeol at the same time.
I couldn’t not do it.
Sehyuk immediately climbed the wall and observed the various rooms.
And finally, I was able to break into Seongsu-gyeol’s room on the third floor.
The three safely entered the room of the Holy Water Seal through the small dragon’s flight magic.
All sorts of splendid gold leaf decorations. The treasures neatly arranged in glass cases and on velvet cloths capture their attention.
‘Wow. The basic item is a special colored item?’
‘Considering his temper, there’s no way he would treat something of a lower rank with respect.’
Cha Ye-seong and Choi Sung-hyun are sweeping up treasures with great enthusiasm.
Meanwhile, Sehyuk was looking around the room. He walked to a corner of the room without even looking at the treasures around him.
‘What are you doing?’
‘Choi Sung-hyun. Come here.’
What caught Sehyuk’s gaze was the safe placed next to the bed.
A safe placed in a room that is no different from a treasure trove.
It’s impossible not to be curious about what’s inside.
‘This is real. My gut tells me.’
It’s time to open the box.
