This Is Not a Game

Detect

the eyes of truth.

The first time I used it, it was so urgent that I couldn’t check it properly, but now I know.

‘Did you say it’s an eye that sees through all the principles and laws of the world?’

Eyes capable of visualizing the flow of formless energy.

It’s like seeing the world through night vision goggles.

Yoosung’s expression hardened the moment he looked down inadvertently after looking around to get used to the unfamiliar sight.

If the city was like a night sky full of stars, there was a sun shining brighter than anything else underground.

“There is something.”

Enormous energy that seems to be insufficient even if all the energy of the city is gathered in one place.

I don’t know if it’s Oparts, but the fact that it’s under this building alone was worth going to check it out.

“Have you found anything?”

“Well. I’ve been looking around, but it looks like there’s nothing but junk here?”

“Is that so?”

It felt too flimsy, but even Henry thought that if there were oparts, he would set up a lot of security guards in places like the president’s office or laboratory with a strict security system, and wouldn’t leave them in such a shabby underground warehouse.

Seeing that the leader told us to finish the search as soon as possible and come upstairs, it was safe to say that he only sent it after thinking of one possibility, and there was really no possibility that there was something here.

“Let’s do this and go downstairs.”

The downstairs was no different from the upstairs.

The only difference is that it’s full of junk that looks far more useless.

The moment he passed through the 4th floor and reached the 5th floor, Henry let out a long sigh as if the world was about to float away.

“Ha ha. I guess this place is bad.”

If the 3rd and 4th floors still looked like warehouses, the 5th floor was completely trash.

“Let’s go up. Staying here is a waste of time.”

“·······.”

Henry pulled on his collar, but Yoosung didn’t even move.

It was because Yooseong, who was invoking the evil eye of truth, was seeing more than just a garbage dump.

‘This is not the end. There’s something more down there.’

In order to somehow continue the search, Yuseong even activates the Sura Sensitivity and analyzes the surroundings, and a clue that can naturally convince Henry came into view.

“Something is strange.”

“What? Using this large space as a dump? That’s definitely strange.”

“No, that’s not it. Look here. Isn’t it too clean to call it a dump?”

Unlike other places where dust and spider webs flew, the place the meteor pointed to was relatively less dirty, as if someone had come and gone.

“…get out of the way for a second.”

Henry, realizing that something was out of the ordinary, began to carefully follow the trail on the floor.

“There is something.”

The trail was cut off in front of the wall.

When Henry, who had been tapping the wall lightly with his hand, backed away, Meteor took out his plasma axe as if he had been waiting for it and struck it down without hesitation.

Cheeik!

As the wall collapsed and a secret staircase appeared, Henry made a subtle expression.

What I am here now is a child who has just become an official agent and a half-penny who has not escaped from being an apprentice agent for ten years.

I don’t know what’s down here, but it’s too dangerous to enter with only two people, and it takes too long to go upstairs, join the scattered team members, and come back down, so there’s a high chance that a trace will be found in the meantime.

However, regardless of whether Henry was worried or not, Yoosung passed him and stepped onto the stairs confidently.

“what are you doing?”

“Wait. Are you going down?”

In addition to the basic clear condition of simply succeeding in the mission, this quest had an additional clear condition of wanting to achieve the best performance among agents.

As long as the plasma ax was hanging in a situation where he had to perform without passing over even if he gave a normal reward, Yoosung was determined to achieve the best result at any cost.

“Isn’t that our mission?”

“No, that’s true, but it’s a bit uneasy going down just the two of us…”

“Then I’ll go down alone, so why don’t you go up and ask for support?”

Henry scratched his head as he stepped down the stairs without hesitation at all.

“Are you Philip?”

Yooseong couldn’t help but be surprised by the remark that came out of nowhere.

Fortunately, I was in front of them so I didn’t get caught, but if we were facing each other, we would have noticed that there was something stabbed at once.

“Then that’s right. Why are you asking such a thing all of a sudden? Do you think it’s someone else?”

“Yeah. The guy who used to be stiff and flustered once he got into actual combat suddenly became active, so it’s like he’s become a completely different person. It’s like Philip on the outside and someone else on the inside.”

“Hmm. I just thought I couldn’t look so bad anymore. I drank some alcohol to cause a commotion at the front door, and it seems to have had some effect.”

“Hmm. Anyway, it looks much better now. It’s ridiculous at first, but from now on, why don’t you have a drink before going on a mission? Captain, I’ll try to convince you.”

“···I’ll think about it.”

It was an ordinary conversation, but it was not an ordinary conversation for Philip.

– No, if you say that, you won’t get me into trouble in the future!

‘Then what to do? Shall I ask to go upstairs because I’m scared now?’

-It’s not like that…

‘Wasn’t it your request that you want to show off your country and colleagues without shame? I’ll do my best to fulfill your request. Either build up your courage, or, like I said, pretend to be crazy and have a drink before starting the mission.

-···That’s right. Eventually, I will have to change.

‘Well, if it doesn’t work, why don’t you keep calling the user.’

Yuseong, who was going down with small talk, stopped walking when he found a thick iron door at the end of the stairs.

A door with a large valve reminiscent of a submarine door.

Yooseong, who confirmed that there was no one beyond the door through the small glass window, carefully held the valve.

Chunk.

Beyond the iron gates were complex corridors and numerous doors.

Yooseong, who was looking around the hallway that was all white, heard a voice coming from the other side and moved carefully to avoid making a sound and hid behind a nearby box.

“Why do you live the world so seriously?”

“It’s not serious, it’s obvious! No matter how much this world is, there are still lines that people shouldn’t cross!”

“Wow. So what should I do? Go out and accuse me? If I quit this job, what are you going to do for a living? I heard that your brother has a disease? If Neptune goes bankrupt, where are you going to get your brother’s medicine?”

“that···.”

“The people here are people who have nothing good to live for. If homeless people or gangsters who complain and deteriorate public order can help society in this way, it’s rather good.”

The sound of footsteps getting closer.

And the moment I reached the iron door, the footsteps stopped.

“Huh? What is this?”

“what?”

“No, look at this. The valve wasn’t closed all the way? Has anyone entered at this time?”

“I can’t believe it. Did I see it wrong… huh?”

At that moment, Yoosung and Henry flew away almost simultaneously.

“The enemy…”

puck!

The guard, who was trying to announce the presence of the intruder, could only make a gurgling sound at the intense shock coming from his throat.

‘It’s easy to deal with with a dagger, but if the blood flows, the later work becomes troublesome. Here is the 16th eclipse of the dark moon.’

Yooseong rushed towards the guard who was making a painful expression without hesitation.

As if he had received considerable training, he aimed the rifle accurately while staggering, but the gun does not end with aiming, but is a weapon that fires only when the trigger is pulled.

Before the guard’s finger caught the trigger, Yooseong put his index and middle fingers together and stabbed the water.

Amwol Type 16 Rock Drilling.

Kwajik!

Yooseong’s fingers were intact, but the guard’s fingers were twisted in a terrible way.

Yooseong, who temporarily lost the use of his hands with consecutive stabs, cleverly went behind the guard and clamped his neck tightly with both arms like a snake constricting its prey.

If you press the carotid artery properly, you will lose consciousness in 10 seconds regardless of your size or weight class.

It was a guard that drooped in an instant, but now it was not a couple, but a life-or-death battle.

Yooseong, who had finished the choke as it was, stood up and looked down at the guard’s corpse for a moment.

“·······.”

first murder.

Strangely, however, I didn’t feel any remorse, let alone any emotional agitation.

‘Thousands or tens of thousands of people of the Cheonma Shinkyo that I sacrificed in Murim are passed over. It’s funny to feel remorse over the fact that there’s one more person now, but I killed it myself with my own hands. Is this normal?’

“what are you doing?”

“I think it moved for a while.”

“It’s definitely over, so let’s move the body first.”

Fortunately, Yoosung and Henry, who found an empty room nearby, moved the corpse into it, changed into guard outfits, and moved cautiously.

“So this time it’s new…”

“That’s not okay…”

Occasionally, they ran into researchers wearing white coats, but they were only engrossed in discussions with each other, using professional terms as if they were not interested in the faces of the guards.

As he walked through the hallway and looked around, Yooseong was able to guess what kind of place this place was.

‘Is it a biological laboratory?’

The appearance of giving unknown injections to normal people or examining them with various equipment.

Their voices didn’t leak out, probably because the soundproofing was good, but looking at their desperate facial expressions and gestures, it was clear that they did not participate in the experiment voluntarily.

“These crazy bastards. Do you do this to the citizens of the Republic, not the Empire? They’re completely crazy. If we leave here, Neptune will not leave a single bastard behind…”

“calm down.”

“Aren’t you angry when you see this?”

“Of course I am. But I’m on a mission right now. It’s enough to get mad at the end of the mission.”

“… it’s got weird after all.”

Yoosung took a stride while ignoring Henry’s complaint.

I didn’t even listen to what Henry said.

It was because the sight seen through the demonic eyes of truth was ecstatic.

‘beautiful.’

A huge pure white energy body that seems to purify your heart just by looking at it.

Yooseong, who had been walking through the complex road as if he were walking through his own house, was finally able to face the huge iron gate in the deepest part.

‘It’s here.’

It is behind this door.

“There’s something out there.”

“How do you know that?”

“You’ll get a sense just by looking at it. Are you sure you’re keeping something useless in the deepest part of the secret facility?”

“That’s also true. But this has become a nuisance.”

This underground facility was too big and there were too many people.

If it was just reconnaissance, the burden was too great to get out of here with something.

“Let’s step back from this point.

“Hey. What are you doing there? This isn’t a patrol route, is it?”

“·······.”

“Eh, are you ignoring me? Aren’t you looking this way?”

Yooseong slowly turned around.

A guard who looked a bit older, and the moment their eyes met, the guard’s expression distorted.

“Wait. I’m seeing you guys for the first time…”

Kwajik!

The guard, whose forehead was pierced by a dagger thrown by Henry, was unable to speak until the end and collapsed on the spot.

Scattering drops of blood and bursting screams.

Since this happened, it was a judge’s decision.

Yoosung took out his plasma ax and hit the iron door with all his might.
