Episode 125

“You both worked hard. The results will come out soon.”

Haon gave the clothes back to Chaser and Nova.

Various simulations were being run based on the results of detailed scans of the two people.

Unlike Nova, who was leisurely putting on her clothes, Chaser turned around and hurriedly put on his clothes.

It seemed quite uncomfortable to show the scar on her chest in Haon’s lab.

Chaser’s face, which had been pale since he first set foot in the lab, became as bloodless as a person’s death when he was told that he would be performing some tests.

Ha-on’s eyebrows drooped as he looked at Chaser, whose complexion was still pale, although he was better now than before.

‘How could a person, no matter how cold-blooded, do something like that?’

I muttered to myself, then quickly changed my mind.

‘… … It must be possible because you are a human, not an animal or a machine.’

‘Galaxy On’ wanted Nova to become weaker so that she could cling to him more, but she probably didn’t want him to die either.

So, before Halo cuts off his shield, he might want to test it out with another Force Awakener first.

‘It would have been hard to find someone who had as complete a successful forced awakening as Nova, so they probably just decided to use an awakened person.’

In the end, it was Chaser who became the sacrificial lamb of the test.

The problem is that because the power of the Awakening Orb was added to and removed repeatedly from him, his mana fluctuates even after that.

‘After being tortured, the fact that he occasionally saw hallucinations was because he couldn’t control his abilities.’

Nova is acting calm, but it must have been so painful that she wanted to kill Halo.

Haon, who was looking back and forth between the two with a pitiful heart, noticed that Nova had a strange expression and asked worriedly.

“Nova? What’s wrong? Are you uncomfortable?”

“Why is this thing alive?”

Then Nova opened her eyes wide at what Chaser said.

“Why are you saying that?”

“If it was a test subject of the ‘Galaxy On’ that I know, it wouldn’t have been able to escape from here alive. But you released it anyway and even paid the bail.”

“… … !”

Come to think of it, the other test subjects of ‘Eunhaon’ were experimented on until they stopped breathing.

Chaser was the only test subject to survive here.

According to Chaser, he was tortured as a test subject for several days, and when he opened his eyes one day, he found himself in an alley in the old city.

Fortunately, he was found by other heroes before he was kidnapped again, but I don’t know why ‘Eunhaon’ did that.

While I was lost in thought for a while, Blue started chirping.

[The simulation results are out!]

“… … !”

At that sound, Haon rolled his wheels over to the computer while still sitting on his chair. Haon’s attention quickly shifted to the monitor.

Nova and Chaser also looked around curiously to see the results, but even after looking at the monitor, they couldn’t understand what was being said at all.

Haonman looked over the results with a serious face and then smiled slightly.

“If you do it right, it might actually be possible.”

* * *

After Nova and Chaser each left for their own missions, Haon hurriedly returned to the 4th floor laboratory.

It was time to start the next task.

“Blue. I’m going to open the hacked file.”

[Okay! You need to enter your password to check the data!]

Haon muttered leisurely as he looked at the password input window that appeared on the monitor.

“That’s already been resolved.”

The code I started to decipher when I was locked up in the rehabilitation center had already been deciphered.

I was able to solve it faster because I had time to focus solely on deciphering the code without thinking about anything else.

Haon’s fingers quickly and nimbly entered the password.

[The data lock program has been released. The data is now accessible!]

Along with Blue’s cheerful voice, the screen filled with ‘Eunhaon’s’ cell phone data.

“Okay!”

Haon predicted that Bae An-jae might have gotten some hints from the data of ‘Eunhaon’.

I wouldn’t have been so reluctant to pass it over if it didn’t contain any coveted information.

Originally, I was trying to find out about Woo Hye-seong, Joo-yeol’s younger brother, but I also wanted to get other things out of it.

At that time, I was thoroughly looking through the data of ‘Galaxy On’.

‘… …Why is this here?’

Haon doubted his eyes and then suddenly got up with a dumbfounded expression.

There was a bunch of data that shouldn’t be there, locked with a password.

A password that is now very familiar and that you know how to break.

It was the same type of password that Bae An-jae had placed on the data of ‘Eunha-on’.

“… … Blue. I’m going to decipher the codes of these four-dimensional regular polytopes.”

Haon gave instructions in a still bewildered voice and sat down again.

[Preparing to decrypt!]

As I placed my hands on the keyboard, my fingertips suddenly felt strong.

Since I knew all the patterns, it was a password that could be quickly solved if I could use magic engineering.

As I played with my fingers, I felt myself slowly coming to my senses.

[Data lock program has been released! You can now access your data!]

“… … !”

A library of decrypted and unfurled spiderwebs.

Haon’s heart beat faster at the unbelievable reality.

”Eunhaon’ set a trap.’

All of Bae An Jae’s data, which I couldn’t even think of taking out when hacking without magic engineering, was inside this.

‘That’s ridiculous. I knew you were much more sensitive to security than me… … !’

Now that I look at it, it seems like ‘Eunhaon’ keeps all of his important information on his cell phone.

Is this what Chacha meant when he said, “You keep the important things to yourself?”

‘Maybe they judged that the computer in the lab where so many villains come and go is rather vulnerable.’

A storage device that you can always carry with you and check the safety of your data at any time, a mobile phone.

‘Eunhaon’s’ cell phone had a reverse hacking program installed to prevent hacking.

If someone hacked into the data on a cell phone, the program would automatically follow suit and copy the other person’s data.

At first glance, it looked like an address book of places to buy heavy equipment, so even Bae An-jae didn’t seem to notice.

‘I bet you never dreamed that someone would put such a program on their phone.’

For the first time since Haon opened Eunhaon’s account, he felt grateful to her.

“Blue. Extract the data on dimensional gates and dark energy from here.”

[All right!]

While Blue was carrying out the order, Haon looked at the data of ‘Galaxy On’.

As expected, there were no records of various human experiments on the laboratory’s computer.

“Test subject number C─31”

Haon found Woo Hye-seong’s test subject number and opened the data.

‘It took a long time to get here.’

The experiments that Woo Hye-seong underwent as a newborn were horrific.

We conducted an experiment by age to see if natural awakening is possible by feeding small amounts of awakening powder from a very young age and at what age it should be consumed.

The experiment continued despite seizures and respiratory distress.

‘… … It’s disgusting. If you eat the awakening orb and awaken, it’s ultimately a forced awakening.’

Below that, there were some records of other children who were used as test subjects, but strangely enough, only Woo Hye-seong’s X-ray and MRI were present.

‘It must mean that it’s important data since it’s stored on a cell phone and not a computer.’

Ha-on’s gaze, which had been quietly examining the two photos, lingered for a long time near the ribs on the X-ray.

There was a trace that seemed to be either a leak or something thin wrapped around it.

‘Oh.’

It was just a picture of a baby’s bones, but it felt strangely eerie.

Even as I thought about it, I couldn’t shake the feeling that it was strange. This was my first time seeing an X-ray of a baby.

‘Why do I feel like I’ve seen it before? What was it?’

Haon looked through the data from the ‘Eunhaon’ server that he had opened on another monitor.

‘This isn’t it. This isn’t it either.’

Soon, my hands and eyes, which had been quickly checking the data, stopped at the same time.

“… … Huh? No way. No way. That can’t be true. That’s ridiculous.”

Haon stared at someone else’s X-ray while absentmindedly spitting out such words.

And when the two X-rays were placed side by side, the blank face slowly turned into shock.

* * *

Kaang!

Sparks flew as the barrels collided.

Joo-yeol lightly pushed the sniper’s gun away with a displeased expression.

At first, whenever I provoked him, he was always so indifferent when we actually confronted him.

Perhaps it was natural. The sniper was a marksman as his name suggests, and even though he was on the tall side, there was a considerable difference in his physique from Juyeol.

The sniper’s breathing was already rough and the direction of the gun was inaccurate.

“Why on earth are you fighting with me? Halo didn’t teach you that.”

“Why is Halo’s name coming out now?”

Even though he looked exhausted from being shot in the shoulder and side, the sniper reacted sharply to the name.

As time passed, Juyeol felt uneasy seeing his enemy struggling with trembling fingertips.

But it was a situation where I couldn’t overlook the fact that my opponent didn’t look in good condition today.

“They said one of them would die, so did they come out to die or something?”

Taang!

The sniper turned his head hurriedly at the shot fired by Juyeol.

Kwajik─.

“Ugh… … !”

The side of the night vision goggles broke just in time.

“I’m busy, so let’s stop here.”

Taang! Bang!

A series of bullets fired in quick succession aimed for the sniper’s legs.

“Juyeol-ah! No!”

At that moment, a blue shield appeared in front of the sniper along with an urgent voice.
