16 – lab

After breaking up with Ayla, Kang-hyeok immediately called Gwang-ui. It was because in order to deliver the body of the Duel Machine Gun, they had to set a separate appointment time and place.

“You can come to my lab. Right Now.”

“… yes?”

However, contrary to Kang Hyuk’s expectations, Gwang-ui gladly invited him to his laboratory.

As I said before, the villains didn’t trust each other and didn’t get close. They are the ones who will betray you on a regular basis, how can you get close to them?

But, in the broad sense, it seemed that he didn’t care about that at all.

I’m not sure if it’s because he’s full of confidence or because he likes Kang-hyeok, but Kang-hyeok was in the position that there was nothing bad about him. It was because I wanted to take a little tour of the laboratory in a broad sense.

“… Hey, old man?”

about 2 hours later.

Arriving at the address given by Gwang-eui, Kang Hyuk knocked on the iron door.

Perhaps because it is a border area between Seoul and Gyeonggi-do, there were rice paddies and fields in Jicheon, and the foul smell of cow dung wafted through.

To think that there was a research institute in a broad sense in such a rural area… !

For some reason, Kang Hyuk thought that he had chosen the location of the research center very well.

Clap!

“Oh, it’s been a while, old man. The location of the laboratory is indeed… .”

After a while, when the iron door opened, Kang Hyuk was about to say hello to Gwangui.

“… hmm?”

However, at that very moment, Kang Hyuk, who confirmed the identity of the person who opened the door, raised his eyes. The person who opened the iron door was not a broad-minded person, but rather a beautiful woman.

“Ho, are you the elder daughter?”

“no.”

“So what about your wife?”

“Ho-ho-ho!”

The beauty burst out laughing. At that moment, a cat’s tail fluttered behind Beauty’s buttocks.

‘ah… ! It must be a chimera made by that nobleman.’

It was then that Kanghyuk seemed to know what beauty really was.

This world was a modern world where magic and supernatural powers existed, but officially no species other than humans existed.

In other words, this beastman in front of me must have been a chimera created by a madman. Because the only person in Korea who can create a non-human subspecies is Gwang-ui.

“nice to meet you. My name is Laura, the teacher’s assistant.”

“My name is Kang Hyuk.”

“I heard a lot of words. Please follow me.”

Laura smiled and started walking ahead.

As his big ass kept fluttering in front of his eyes, Kanghyuk’s mouth seemed to dry up for some reason.

“sh*t…”

“This way.”

“Um… ? Are these the basement stairs?”

“yes. Your lab is in the basement. The buildings on the ground are camouflage.”

Laura began to slowly descend the stairs.

Contrary to what was expected, there was not a particularly unpleasant smell coming from the direction towards the laboratory. I thought it would smell like blood or death, but instead it seemed to smell fresh and cool.

“Do you think it is surprising?”

“hmm.”

“Hoho, it’s okay. Customers who visit this place are always surprised.”

“Do you often have guests here?”

“Not often. To the extent that only acquaintances of the teacher visit from time to time?”

‘It’s an acquaintance… .’

Kang Hyuk lightly touched the magic ring on his ring finger.

Can Gwang-Eui and I now be called acquaintances?

Since I’ve completed the request in a broad sense, maybe that’s the case… !

“… This is it.”

After thinking about this and that, I had arrived at my destination before I knew it.

There was a huge iron door in front of them, and looking at the control panel on the left, it seemed that they could enter the laboratory only by entering a password.

Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep!

“… hmm. Seeing that the password is four digits, it must be the elder’s birthday.”

Kang Hyuk started joking.

“Uh, how did you know?”

But Laura looked really, really surprised.

She looked back at Kanghyuk with a shocked expression. Kanghyuk smiled awkwardly and just shrugged his shoulders.

“… You are here.”

After a while, when he entered the laboratory, Gwang-eui greeted Kang-hyeok.

The inside of the laboratory was very spacious and clean. Seeing a lot of complicated equipment placed here and there, it seemed like a state-of-the-art laboratory with a lot of money.

“It’s been a while, old man.”

“I was surprised to hear your call. Already collecting the body… I thought it would take a little longer.”

“It was just a matter of collecting the body.”

Kanghyuk’s words were not something like humility. In fact, it was because he did not suffer any particular danger in collecting the body of the Duel Machine Gun.

I met the Black Dragon Society and Ayla on the train, but after all, it wasn’t directly related to the body collection. And the same goes for killing the Net Walker. I couldn’t see that the net walker and the collection of the corpse were related to each other.

“Still, wasn’t it the corpse of a D-class hero? You must have felt a little pressure?”

“Is it a burden?”

“?”

“… ?”

Kanghyuk and Gwangui looked at each other and tilted their heads. Kanghyuk wondered where he should feel the burden, and in a broad sense, it was a question that Kanghyuk showed a different reaction than ordinary people.

‘her… After all, I must have looked at people well. Certainly not a normal person.’

Gwang-eui looked at Kang-hyeok anew.

In fact, whether it was a hero or a borrower, they were bound to feel disgust and burden in common when it came to ‘corpse’. Because human nature itself was originally like that. However, this person named Kang Hyuk, who was in front of the wide-eyed eyes, didn’t seem to feel any particular emotion when it came to dealing with the corpse.

Are you strong-willed? Or is humanity itself different from others?

Whatever it was, Gwang-eui felt like he had a crush on Kang-hyeok. He thought that it was fortunate that he had approached Kang Hyuk separately and had a close relationship with him.

The more he continued his relationship with Kang Hyuk, the more he would surely benefit from it. It was because people like Kang Hyuk were hard to find.

“Heh heh, it would have been fine if it wasn’t burdensome. Then could you please do me a favor a few more times later?”

“Of course it is. Don’t the elderly pay a lot of commission fees? That too, as an advance payment. So, I have no reason to refuse.”

“Um, good! good!”

When Gwang-Eui showed a satisfied smile, Kang Hyuk felt better as well. There was nothing wrong with him, too, if he had a closer relationship with Gwangui. It was hard to find a client as big as his madness.

“Rather than anything else, take the corpse first.”

“Okay. Laura!”

“Yes, teacher.”

“Check the corpses, sort them by quality into storage boxes, and bring them back!”

“yes!”

Laura was handed a double bag by Kang Hyuk.

Kang Hyuk was following her, but stopped at the gesture of a broad gesture. I guess I’ll show you a better place.

“You follow me. Now that you’ve come this far, let’s take a tour of my laboratory.”

“Hoo… Exciting.”

“hmm? Were you also interested in the Chimera?”

“Isn’t that natural? To be honest, I can’t help but be interested. Chimera research itself creates a new life form… .”

When Kang-hyeok replied as if it was natural, Gwang-eui looked at him again with new eyes.

Usually, Chimera is terrifying, but not as interesting as Kang Hyuk.

‘… What a fun friend.’

At some point, Gwang-eui was calling Kang-hyeok ‘friend’.

In fact, from a broader point of view, it was natural for Kang Hyuk to be likeable. It was because I was very happy that someone was interested in what I had been researching all my life. In particular, if the research was to be criticized by the public, I would be even more happy.

“By the way, old man. Laura-san is also a chimera, right?”

“Yes. why? Are you interested in Laura?”

“No, nothing like that… .”

“If you’re interested, I’ll lend you a room, so mix yourself up and go. I also made a reproductive organ just in case, so there shouldn’t be any problems with having s*x.”

“… .”

At the words in a broad sense, Kanghyuk laughed in vain for a moment.

It was because I couldn’t hear what he was saying as a joke.

“that… Wasn’t Laura something like the old man’s daughter?”

“What about your daughter? I don’t give anything like test subjects. I am willing to discard it at any time if I make a mistake.”

The broad sense of the word was quite frightening. However, Kang Hyuk did not respond in any way to those words. Because the treatment of Chimera had nothing to do with him. I just pray that Laura will survive as long as possible… !

“This is where the eyeballs are stored. There are over 13,000 types of eyes.”

“oh… .”

Afterwards, Kang Hyuk began to look around the research institute in a broad sense, starting with the eye storage, and parted ways when he was slowly getting hungry.

Kang Hyuk felt as if he had become very close to the character Gwangui.
