Humanity Itself is Strong - Chapter 20
Chapter 20 – Infiltration
As soon as Jin-Seong opened the door and left the chairman’s office, the chairman’s face was strangely distorted.
“Darn it, that son of a bitch.”
The chairman of the board took out his cell phone. Soon a cave-like low, gloomy voice over the phone answered.
“The prey will stop by the workshop.” “Yeah, let him take whatever he wants… Anyway tomorrow he’ll be-” Come to think of it, he didn’t have to wait until tomorrow. So he said without hiding his laughter. “Watch the situation, make him into a doll. I don’t care if he dies.” The chairman of the board was pleased to recall Jin-Seong’s face, which would struggle in pain. * * * Ring! [Achievement: “The one who’s still wet behind the ears.”] [The storage box will be rewarded.] At that moment. Rattle! A colorful box appeared in front of Jin-Seong with a powerful opening sound. [From now on, you can use the storage box. 3 meters wide, 1 meter long, and 1 meter deep. There is no restriction in this space.] And inside the box was a glittering precious metal, peculiarly unaffected by gravity. It was a gold ring with the bull’s face engraved. “……Oh?” Jin-Seong checked the gold ring through Codex. + Name: Ring of Slaves Function: Identification accessories to identify the dead who became the devil’s slave. If you use mana, you can even check their origin. You can disguise yourself as you wish. + “……This is how it works?” This ring was, to put it plainly, an identification for the dead. Therefore, it will be very useful for Jin-Seong, who currently has to stop the outbreak. ‘I got something very useful.’ It was because tarot cards said that it was an achievement, so he did not expect it. ‘This makes it much easier to penetrate between these dead people.’ Jin-Seong left the ring in his pocket and opened the briefcase this time. Click. He took out the leather sheath that had been kept with the lion’s claws. He rolled up his top and skillfully carried the sheath behind his waist to lead the lion’s claws. Chkkk. And when he pulled the cloth, the Carambit was completely covered. Satisfied with his clean camouflage, he put a briefcase in the locker with a bundle of money in it. Sneak… He put the briefcase in the middle of the air in the locker, but it didn’t fall on the floor. The bag was fixed in the air as it was placed. “That’s amazing.” But if he pushed it with his hand, it pushed away slightly, and if he pulled it and let it go, it’s only lightly pulled. It stopped in the air. Shaking the locker didn’t move it at all. ‘There is no risk of damage to property and plenty of space.’ Jin-Seong liked the function of this storage box much more than his achievement compensation. And when he closed the lid, the locker disappeared without a trace. It was then. Squeak! Just in time, a slender man came into the waiting room. “Oh, my, Jin-Seong. You came out earlier than I thought, haha! You said you wanted to go to the armory.” He was the first man he saw, not the secretary who came earlier. The man introduced himself as a caretaker who would guide him to the armory. “Yes, but my weapon?” “Oh, I’m sorry. The place you’re going down now is where you can’t carry weapons…… haha…….” “I see.” He could see their tactics, but it didn’t matter. “Well, let’s go then?” * * * Jin-Seong followed the caretaker. Then he climbed onto a lift on one side of the hall. “Where are we going?” “We’re going to the armory deep in the basement.” The caretaker pressed the B31 button next to the door. Then, the elevator door with the window was closed to prevent the visitors from looking inside. “I heard you did well on the test.” Then the caretaker in the corner of the elevator complimented. “Thank you.” “I used to want to be a cadet, but I fell into a professional course because of my poor skills. Well, now I’m living my life with satisfaction.” “Oh, yes.” Then a vast cavity suddenly opened up through the window of the elevator after a long journey. “This is…?” Jin-Seong went straight up to the elevator window. It was a window as small as a human face, so he had to stick closely to see the outside properly. The sudden underground cavity was a huge plain with four giant pillars supporting the ceiling. On the plain, numerous blacksmiths lined up in a row, and a huge melting pot was built in the center of the plains lined with blacksmiths. The sound of hammering countless times. The sound of cutting iron. The sound of gnawing iron. The sound of liquid boiling and soaking iron in oil etc.…. The violent metallic sound filled the cavity. “This is the weapon spear that our five-star weapons industry is proud of. It’s the biggest workshop in Korea and the world! I don’t know how much money the chairman has put in to build this place.” “That’s cool…… I’ve never seen anything like this before.” “Right? This is my favorite sight, too.” The moment Jin-Seong looks out the window. The caretaker thought it was time. ‘Oh, kids these days.’ The caretaker. No, the assassin thought. A sudden attack on the back of a careless opponent without knowing anything. And he felt joy watching his prey die in wonder and fear. Sneak. The caretaker once again confirmed that the surveillance camera in the elevator was turned off and grabbed the assassination awl on his sleeve. Then, Jin-Seong asked. “It’s dinner time, but there are a lot of blacksmiths.” “Oh, it’s time for them to work. They’re crazy about hammering, and they’re here every single day except when they eat and sleep.” “Oh…… I see. But if it’s underground, there’s no air circulation, is that okay?” “You don’t have to worry about them. I don’t know if it’s because wind blood is connected like a spider’s web, but I heard that the oxygen content is strangely high.” Sneak……. The man naturally approached Jin-Seong’s back, giving an explanation. It was a square of vision that would not be seen even by a small window. ‘What, this is a lot easier than I thought.’ He raised the awl high. The assassin’s target was a nerve flowing between the top cervical vertebrae 1 and 2 that supported the head. He never failed before. If he cuts off that nerve, Jin-Seong would die instantly or become a cripple who could not even move his neck. ‘No matter how monster you are, you would be blinded by the back of your head.’ Humans have only two eyes. Even if he had the ability to detect danger, the assassin had the ability to “Remove detect danger ability” Class A. ‘Die in misery!’ It was the moment when the assassin stabbed an awl toward the dead point. Tadak! “Huh?” Suddenly, the arm that the assassin stretched out was hanging under Jin-Seong’s arm. Bpppps! The awl fell to the floor and the bound arm was pulled toward the floor. In the blink of an eye, the assassin lost his balance turned halfway. Jin-Seong restrained the other arm of the assassin and turned it around. Jin-Seong, who quickly tied the assassin behind the scenes, said. “Have you ever heard of the common earth theory?” “Kkkkkkkk!” Kiririririk……! The lion’s toenail popped out of Jin-Seong’s hand with a creepy metallic sound. “The high oxygen concentration is because it connects to that place.” “What are you talking about-!” Push! At that moment, a bent toenail blade penetrated the assassin’s collarbone.
