nTeukteuk…

nThey walked through the entrance and Jaehwang couldn’t believe the terrible sight that he saw.

n-Are these monsters?

n-No… these are people.”

nThey saw a person, it looked like a male and it had its stomach cut open as it lied down on the operating table. The dozens of tentacles that stuck out of him caught their attention but they still continued to walk along. They also saw a woman wrapped in a plastic-like material inside a glass tube.

nIt was a sad reality that looked like a scene from a horror movie.

nAll of the glass tubes were in a certain order. It didn’t look like anything more impressive, it looked more of a creepy graveyard. They also saw the implemented experiment breakdown in front of it.

/fail, Spine extraction in progress

nJaehwang was disgusted knowing that they had been experimented on. With anger racing through him, he headed for the next door. Luckily there was nothing to be worried about in the next room. Instead, there was something different other than humans in the glass tubes.

n-What’s going on?

n-Families of Drakus and Oaks… They’re being imprisoned here… There are lots of them in the Alousu.

nThey didn’t hear much about these types of monsters on the news so they had a hard time recognizing what they were. Even Jaehwang had only seen pictures of the Drakus before he saw them in this place and in the Alousu.

n-This is cruel.

n-…

nHe didn’t know what to say so he kept his pace. It was the first time where he had seen so many Drakus. He then saw a mysterious sign.

nThey were tall and strong from a human’s point of view. They had two horns on their head that naturally contained magic.

n-The human supports are still on making tragedies like these…

n-…

nNo word has left his mouth and he still didn’t know what to say. He could see the misery on their faces. The Drakus that occupied the glass tubes were dying and in pain. He couldn’t begin to think of how many of them had to go through those cruel experiences.

nThey had big ears, long claws, a tail along with their huge frame. They all looked terribly hurt and tortured.

nJaehwang felt sad seeing them like that, so he closed his eyes and moved forward.

nTwo people who worked in the lab then came through the door. The one walking in front was a gray-haired middle-aged man. He walked strongly into the room and put on a pair of gloves. Walking along behind him was a guy holding a glass tube and it seemed to contain a human heart.

n-Did they just take it out of someone? There was still blood dripping off of it.

nThe spirit asked.

n“We need to collect a sample. Check in with the organization.”

n“On it.”

n“They’ve been enduring these tests every single day…”

n“Would they rather die than just live while being experimented on? How much do we have to inject?”

n“50cc for the first 5 minutes and we need to have 4 spaces between each one.”

n“Okay. I wonder if they would be able to endure this. I guess it would be nice to find out”

n“We already have lots of new data. If we secure our samples just a little more, then we would be able to complete it soon.”

n“We need to experiment more.”

n“Things have been a bit messy these days, right? The supply and demand being cut off and all…”

n“Ugh, this stuffy place is ridiculous…” The older one said and Jaehwang then realized what kind of person they were dealing with.

n“What!” Jaehwang yelled and he instantly covered his mouth with his hand He covered his mouth with his left hand and he used his right hand to attack the experimenter.

nPong pong pong!

n“Argh!” The experimenter yelled as he was shot in his joints. Maybe that was the same as what the monsters in the lab were experiencing.

nPang!

nThe middle-aged man fell and Jaehwang then turned around where he saw two others making their escape. Jaehwang then flew into the air.

nHe shot an arrow into the experimenter’s neck which caused him to collapse on the floor. The syringe that he held in his hand fell and rolled across the room. The man died on the spot but it didn’ matter to him, he just looked over to the syringe.

n“You are not human.” Jaehwang jumped onto the floor and walked up to the middle-aged experimenter. He had a terrified look on his face as he looked at the other experimenter and saw that he was dead.

nTak! Tak!

nJaehwang grabbed the experimenter by the collar and he started to slap him continuously.

n“…S-spare me.”

nJaehwang stopped and raised his body in the air.

n“W-who are you?”

n“…”

n“Answer my question.” The experimenter tried to struggle but it didn’t work. “You’re insane! Who are you?… Ahhhh!!!”

nSwooshhh…

nThe man yelled as Jaehwang took him back to the ground. He was terrified and he had a hard time holding on.

n“Ahhh!!”

nHe tried to fight back but he knew that he didn’t stand a chance. He was just a normal human and Jaehwang was a high ranked monster hunter.

nSwooshhh…

nHe kept his tight grip and then, his eyes started to water.

n“Are you going to behave?” Jaehwang asked as he held him close by his collar. “I won’t hurt you if you would answer all of my questions, got it?”

n“O-okay.”

n“Where did you get your test subjects?” He had already seen enough of what was going on there so he didn’t need to know any more about that. He didn’t seem too mad as he didn’t have much to ask and he was sure he would get his answers.

n“There’s a department around here that we go to and it’s called ‘B2’ and it’s a storage where we get what we need…” The experimenter obediently replied.

n“Good.” Jaehwang walked around the lab to get a closer look at their equipment.

nHe then activated his tiger hunter senses again. There were many CCTV cameras in the lab but he didn’t notice if there’s any in the hallway.

n-Spirit…

n-Huh?

n-Do you think I’m just like them when I slaughtered those Oaks? Am I a bad person?

n-No..?

nThe spirit replied but there was no confidence behind her answer.

n-You’re very polite towards your enemies at least.

n-Polite?

n-Yes. You could have just killed him, couldn’t you? Isn’t that like, being polite?

nThe spirit said and Jaehwang smiled. Of course, she could always find the good side of everything.

n-If those are manners, then maybe I should keep that up.

nThey soon made it to the B2 door and Jaehwang put the entrance card through the sensor.

n“Huh? What?” He saw a lot of security guards among the CCTV monitors and there were three guards near its entrance.

n“Did it break?” One guy said as he walked to towards the glass door and looked at the monitor. They couldn’t see anything but that wasn’t anything unusual. He tilted his head and the moment he turned around, he saw something that surprised him.

nThe others had been shot in the neck and just then, an arrow flew past him.

nPong

nHe then turned his head and saw Jaehwang.

nThe guards from room B3 then rushed into the room.

nJaehwang could hear the doors opening from every direction but he wasn’t worried at the moment since there was a long hallway where he could run to. The good thing about the hallway was that there was a hole through the wall that he could look through.

nHe then heard a heavy low-pitched voice from the end of the hallway. He saw a black shadow of someone sitting at a big desk.

n“Didn’t I say not to open it until it’s fixed, hm?” He said before he pressed the button on his desk.

nSwiii

nA cloud of thick dust then started to spread everywhere and it even stuck to Jaehwang who used his hiding skill.

n“Come out of hiding, thief. If so, then I won’t press the alert button.” He said and Jaehwang realized that he knew he was there. He then cancelled his hiding skill.

n“Wow, it’s been a while. I thought you were a guest,” He said as he stood up from his chair.

n“What a great show you put on here.” He was really tall. There seem to be a lot of people in the hallway. When he stood up, none of the dust was around him.

n“Who are you?” The man asked.

n“A visitor, right?” Jaehwang answered as he looked around.

n“Ah, a visitor. Hahaha! A visitor… right. A great visitor. Haha… I should ring the alarm but I was bored. I could give you one chance though, I could just let you escape but that would be too boring.”

nKwang kwang kwang.

nIt felt like there was a giant walking down the hall. “From what I see, you’re a rookie. Haha… It’s already too late for you.”

nHe only covered half of the hallway but Jaehwang could already see his face. He wore the Daehyeon group uniform and he was wearing gloves that had a piece of metal in its knuckles. He had a huge special mark on his face. The mark started from his chin and ended on his neck, but there were also subtle tracks of it around the area of his eyes.

n“Do you have any idea of who I am?”

n“Is that something I have to know?” Jaehwang replied in a low voice. He had no idea what was about to happen.

n“Fine! Maybe I was just unlucky! Should we get to know each other? Hahaha.”

nHe came closer and his beast-like appearance cast a shadow over Jaehwang.

nAnd after five minutes…

n“Ugh…” A lot of saliva came out of his mouth.

nHe looked like a giant beast. Actually, it looked more cruel and intense than that. Both of his legs and arms had disappeared. It looked like they were cut off.

nHe coughed a mouthful of blood that splattered across the wall. Jaehwang watched with a worried expression, he was confused as he gingerly walked closer towards him.

n“…”

n“What?” Jaehwang said.

n“P-please… Spare me.” The guy said with tears falling down his face.

n“Ha…?” Jaehwang brought up an unpleasant look on his face as he scratched his head. He wasn’t sure what was going on or what was about to happen but he wasn’t going to beg for his life.

n“Aren’t you acting a little rude?”

nPong…

n“Cough….”
