31The second word overturns the game board (Episode 33)
Snowfall finally found traces of Chao..
There was no particularly dangerous situation in getting here, but it was possible because Kang Seol knew roughly how the secret laboratory was structured..
‘The note left here means that Chao has returned from here.?’
So, that means Chao's current location is not here..
Adventure 5. 'Griz's Secret Laboratory’
Chao's traces were found here.
However, it appears that Chao has achieved his goal and left here. I think it will be difficult to meet her here..
However, you are still at the beginning of the secret laboratory. Something even greater than Chao's traces may be hidden deeper than now. you have to get your hands on them.
Objective: Search Grizz's secret laboratory until the end..
Current remaining time 「70 : 41」
- Tsk, that’s nonsense..
- I don't know who Griz is.?
- I don't know, how do I know that? You know?
- I don't know either. I asked because I didn't know
- It is written briefly in the settings book..
- What was written?
- A tremendous genius. And they say he's a very strange person.?
- Hahahaha that’s a really disturbing review of the character.
Snowfall confirmed the changed adventure goal and nodded..
‘Because I had no intention of stopping here either..’
Some people came here to look for Chao, but others actually came looking for something that might be left in the secret laboratory..
Griz was, in name and reality, a master of mechanical engineering and the creator of many gems. If there was even a fingernail's worth of his treasure left in this secret laboratory, it was right to search it thoroughly..
‘But what on earth did Chao take??’
She personally found out the location of the secret laboratory and stole the goods first, so even Kang Seol felt like an unusual person..
What exactly is it that she would be interested in?.
“master. this.”
Karuna handed out a stack of documents to Kang Seol..
A glance at what was written on the stiff paper revealed the research purpose and contents of this invention..
“questions about death?”
Griz's research usually starts with absurd ideas. I could see it in the message he left as well..
- What is death? Will it hurt if I die? If I die, will I really disintegrate and disappear into nothingness? Otherwise, is there a world after death as those who believe in God say? I'm curious, I'm curious. I'm so curious, I can't stand it! So I'll find out!
From the beginning, the document was full of information showing that this research was led by Griz..
- There is no one on this wide continent who has experienced death. Oh, there are undead, but they are people who have refused death, so they are an exception. This device was created to glimpse the true face of death..
“Abortion induction device... . You're crazy.”
something made to die.
At the end of the journal, these words were written:.
- really… It's truly terrible! Don't die as much as possible!
Tuk…
Kangseol put down the documents on the unattended desk and tilted his head..
‘Chao stole this? why?’
From idea to effect, it was truly a terrible product. I became curious about her purpose in stealing these items..
- There was a reason the secret lab was secret.^^?
- Aren’t they all just like this? lol
- It's planned to be a disaster haha
“still… I need to go deeper.”
There was nothing more foolish than guessing the whole by looking at only part of it..
Because it was the same as touching an elephant's leg and calling it a pillar..
‘I'm sure there are some leftovers that I can use..’
As a person with weak perseverance, Griz could not conduct research for a long time..
So, there are probably products in the lab that are different from this device..
I profit…
Snowfall walked through the hallway again.
The hallway was long enough to be boring, and the further it went, the further it went down to the basement..
- 2nd laboratory
Before he knew it, he had arrived in front of the second laboratory..
[Sensitivity is triggered..]
[I can feel a presence beyond the door.]
“master.”
“ah.”
Karuna also seemed to have sensed a presence and stretched out one arm to push Snowfall back..
And kicked the door.
Quasi-profit!
The door was thinner than expected and was torn apart..
“An error occurred! An error occurred!”
What was in front of the door was a mechanical golem..
Kangseol was nervous because he was bigger than Jamad..
“Entrance door… Closure….”
The machine stretched out its hand violently and waddled towards Karuna..
It rattled… rattle…
Compared to its size and power, it was a somewhat clumsy movement..
‘Something… It's strange?’
I wonder if something went wrong, my sloppy steps stopped..
Snowfall shouted as Karuna reached for the moonlight sword to eliminate the threat..
“karuna!”
“…yes.”
“Don't touch me.”
The mechanical golem walked a few more steps and eventually stopped working..
“serious… error….”
Geek… Geek…
Snowfall looked at the golem’s body..
If there is a problem to this extent, it will be visible in a visible place..
However, there was no sign of rust or anything abnormal. Except it's covered in vines like the wall of an old house..
‘vine?’
Snowfall, with an ominous premonition, ordered Karuna to.
“Here, cut some vines for me..”
“All right.”
sreung-
Karuna's momentum changes when she draws her sword. All it did was remove the vines that were stuck to the golem's body, but the appearance was nothing short of elegant..
Sigh-! Well done-!
The vines attached to the mechanical golem's body were removed in an instant..
Fighting… Tuk!
Now that only one large vine was left wrapped around the golem's neck, Snowfall swallowed her saliva..
When that vine was removed, the golem could attack, so Jamard was closely guarded by Kang Seol..
square-!
“Shut up….”
Gigi geek… Geek!
The mechanical golem made a strange noise and turned its head. Golem's eyes oozing red light.
But suddenly, the red eye glow disappeared as if washed away and turned blue..
“Nice to meet you, human. This is Griz's relatively recently created 81st Research Institute, and I am its director, Arta-2. From now on, I would like you to call me Arta..”
“…what?”
“Thank you for visiting Griz’s lab. However, Mr. Griz is currently absent. Are you a guest who was scheduled to visit??”
“What is this….”
The mechanical golem showed a contradictory attitude from before, as if it had a dual personality. Still, Kang Seol sighed and responded that he no longer had to reveal that he was a trespasser..
“I visited without contact.”
“Then there is no way to meet Mr. Griz. However, if you want to tour the lab, it is possible. Do you mind if I, Arta, guide you??”
“guide?”
“yes. It's a small research institute, so there's not much to see, but we can guide you as much as you want..”
Kang Seol thought for a moment and nodded..
“Please guide me.”
“All right. Have you already toured the third lab??”
“yes.”
“All right. Then, I will guide you through the remaining 2nd and 1st labs..”
‘Shameless Yam' sponsored Madness by 300.!
[I came here to steal, but I am treated like a guest.?]
- Snowman! How come my acting skills are improving day by day?!
- Are you even fooling robots now? What the heck is he…
- The thief is so shameless haha.
- How did Grizz train the warden?
- Ah, there you thief! Please take off your shoes and come in.
- I guess they thought it was Santa and not a thief..
- Does Santa come blowing out the chimney these days??
Arta began giving directions to the second laboratory..
“This is the second laboratory. This is a place where spirit boxes are mainly studied, and the theory of multi-attribute spirit boxes is verified and actually implemented..”
“Multi-attribute spirit box? That… Are you saying you made it??”
“yes. This is a great achievement by Griz..”
A spirit box was often a transport or restraint tool made to confine spirits wandering around the world..
“Is that possible??”
“It was possible. Spirits have a tendency to repel or attract each other, so until now, if they were gathered together in one place, they would have clashed, but Griz solved that problem brilliantly..”
“Way?”
“I do not know.”
“…yes? Isn’t Arta the director of this place??”
“The position doesn't mean much. All research is done by Griz himself. All other beings just serve him..”
In the second lab, like the third lab, there was a bundle of paper..
Snowfall glanced at it. While going down, looking closely, he found a word that was completely unexpected and asked Arta a question..
“This belt shown here... Is that a variation of the multi-attribute spirit box??”
“That's a theory that hasn't been tested yet. However, the probability that Mr. Griz is wrong is overwhelmingly low. Therefore, it seems possible to store the power of a multi-attribute spirit box in a belt..”
“If this is true….”
“Even if the wearer cannot directly manipulate the power of various spirits, the wearer indirectly gains the power emitted by the spirits..”
“It's completely crazy. So where is that belt??”
“That's here in the second lab... what? Where did you go?”
- what? Kingdy went?
- Hahahahahahahahahahaha
- Now, here is 1 billion won. what? Where is it?
- Why did I explain it until now lol?
- I don't know what you're talking about, but anyway, it's a fucking belt.…
- There was, but it's gone.
Snowfall really wanted the multi-attribute spirit belt that Arta had described..
It wasn't like he had been in the world of eternity for a day or two, and I could immediately guess what kind of performance he would perform just by hearing the explanation..
“Are you saying the belt is gone??”
“That's right. I don't know why.”
Arta was embarrassed and even showed a scratching gesture..
Kang Seol felt that all of this was somehow related..
‘No way, that vine?’
Arta was engulfed in vines and was behaving strangely..
It was somewhat suspicious to simply say that Griz's long absence had caused this situation..
“Arta. What's in Laboratory 1??”
“A life research complex has been created..”
“The scale is?”
“Even if you combine all the places you've passed so far, they still don't reach the size of the first lab..”
“If it is a life laboratory….”
“We were conducting research that would help solve future food and hunger problems in the empire. There they grow powerful plants that can survive in harsh environments..”
“Is that it??”
“The lab's control center is also located there..”
“hmm….”
“Would you like guidance on Lab No. 1??”
“yes.”
Snowfall was convinced that something was happening there..
From the vine that stuck to Arta's body and caused it to malfunction, to the disappearance of the invention in the second laboratory..
It all gave me an ominous feeling..
That… Jeopuk…
Kangseol asked as he headed to the first laboratory, the life research complex..
“Arta.”
“please speak.”
“if… Do you know anything about Milan??”
“There is no word for Milan among the words I know. Is this a person's name??”
“…It's a person's name.”
“No such name has ever been entered.”
“I see, I understand..”
- What is Milan??
- Snowman always tells what he knows..
- It was Von Milan….
It was nothing special for Kang Seol to ask this question..
Milan was the name of the last horse he bred. And that Milan had been hanging out with the Grizz for a long time..
When I said that Snowfall met Grizz only once, I was referring to this time..
- Milan, you are truly genius! I, Griz, feel both great inspiration and inferiority from you! You are the crystallization of all knowledge in the world. Now I know why Milan is called the Great Sage. So, is it painful? No, I am so happy! That there is someone in the world who understands me completely!
Griz was fascinated by Milan and followed him, but Milan left him for adventure..
Before I left, Griz's words of mad regret came to mind..
- If you don’t go… Is this not possible? This grizz seems to feel the need for you. Has there ever been a memory of me yearning for something this much??
Kang Seol shook the conversation between Milan and Griz out of his head..
‘Now is not the time to be sentimental, that was then and now is now..’
As Kang Seol was reminiscing about the past, she felt something strange when she reached the first laboratory..
‘hmm?’
“We're all here.”
“…Arta.”
“why are you like that?”
“Are you the only one in this lab??”
“no. valet… No, there are over 20 researchers besides me..”
“I see. All right. But, you are the only one I have encountered in this large space. By any chance, do you know why??”
“what? I do not know. I don't remember. Do you know??”
“I think I know.”
[Sensitivity is triggered..]
[I feel movement beyond the door.]
Sigh.
Karuna and Jamad stood in front of Snowfall and Arta respectively. At the same time, the lab door broke..
Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!
Karuna and Jamad were slightly pushed back with an impact that felt like being struck by an iron club..
What struck them was a huge vine of a plant..
Snowfall said, looking beyond the vines with golden insight..
“You ran away. from that monster.”
Beyond the vines, numerous vines of similar size and leaves of similar size were overflowing. As if I had come to a giant's flower bed..
Kang Seol's insight was effective and information appeared in his field of vision..
