Chapter 65

EP.65 Horror Broadcast

"It was an incredible coincidence, honestly, to all the citizens of Korea. Shouldn't they erect a statue of me in front of Mapo Bridge for this? I'm looking forward to it."

[LOL]

[Statue? That's insane lol]

[Oh lol, you're so confident, I like it lol]

[No, you really made it seem like a coincidence lol]

[Let's go for the mango statue~~]

[The villain demanding a statue lol]

[Now the mango fans will start collecting money lol]

[I'm already scared]

Why are you reacting like this to a joke?

They're not really going to collect money to build a statue, right?

In the secret laboratory beneath the Han Group's headquarters.

I slowly descended the corridor, covered in white walls and floors, while broadcasting.

After the chat was flooded with messages asking if I had known about the Han River incident and preemptively destroyed the Mapo Bridge, I deflected with a joke about a statue. Since I said it was a coincidence, what can they do?

Eventually, people who heard my official statement started to become more curious about my current location rather than the Mapo Bridge incident.

[So, where are you?]

[Is this a white corridor... like a mental hospital?]

[The flickering lights are so scary, it's not even like Silent Hill]

[What's that bloodstain?]

"This place... ta-da! It's the basement of the Han Group. Yes, the place where that terrible disaster was created."

[????]

[How did you get in there lol]

[The Association is in tears lol]

[The Association is blocking it, how did you get in?]

[It looks like you used teleportation? lol]

[But why are you going in there suddenly?]

"Why did I come in here! Let's be honest. Who is the most influential villain in Korea? Isn't it me!"

[So shameless lol]

[No, who talks like that lol]

Now, let's make a little noise.

"But, you know, without any morals. Here, in the basement, they're creating biological weapons without the permission of senior industry figures? I found it very reprehensible. So, as punishment, I will expose their secrets one by one. What? Confidential? No entry for non-staff?"

While walking down the corridor, I saw the large "No Entry for Non-Staff" sign and gave it a glance.

"There's no such thing, Han Group!!! Your top-secret facility is being broadcast live to the whole country!!"

I laughed like a madman.

A top-notch villain knows how to laugh wildly in any situation.

...And honestly, this time it was genuinely funny.

The Han Group is probably hiding like beggars right now, and the thought of them seeing this and being unable to do anything, just trembling with their fists, makes me laugh.

Looking at the chat window filled with [LOL] through my mask, I continued deeper inside.

The white corridor.

It's a bit creepy.

The flickering lights make it even more eerie.

No, I'm actually a little scared.

Especially since I don't know when or where a monster might suddenly appear, making it even scarier.

[No, wtf, why is it so scary here?]

[It feels like something will suddenly jump out]

[Every time the lights go out, I jump]

[Why did it suddenly turn into a horror genre?]

[Horror game (not) streamer lol]

[Hey, I saw something over there?]

Don't type that kind of chat when you're scared.

It's already so quiet, except for my footsteps, it's scary!

But showing fear is for beginner villains.

A top-notch villain remains confident in such situations.

"Everyone, don't be scared. Whatever comes out, do you think it can beat me?"

Saying this, I levitated the guns I had prepared.

Monsters? Tell them to kneel before the ruthless modern weapons.

[In horror movies, the one who says that always dies first lol]

I ignored the strange comments.

Don't set flags!

***

I continued to go deeper and deeper.

At first, the atmosphere was a bit scary, but as I kept making jokes and no monsters appeared, it gradually became less intense.

...But why aren't the monsters really appearing? They should be showing up by now.

How long did I walk?

Gradually, the main research facilities started to appear.

Desks and computers scattered everywhere.

They probably conducted research here.

I glanced at the incomprehensible documents and moved on.

The place where they studied and contained the monsters appeared.

Or rather, where they had contained them. Now, they are all damaged, and none are left. They probably wandered off somewhere in this basement.

The glass walls lined up in a row.

It seems they observed the monsters through reinforced glass, like an aquarium, but now the glass is all broken.

"Ah, there's information about the monsters in each section."

Indeed, there was information about the monsters written on boards in front of each glass.

《RKCB-1107》

[Provisional Name] Teleporter

[Precautions] Always maintain A-level security as it can teleport to escape. Be cautious as it can attack from behind.

Next to it, there was a picture of the creature.

Wow... it's really terrifying.

It's completely white, resembling a human but with an excessively large head and a single large mouth. It also has large scythe-like hands.

No... it's scary.

This thing could suddenly jump out from behind and hit you on the back of the head.

At that moment, I felt a sudden chill and turned around.

Fortunately, there was nothing. Phew, I was scared.

[Wow, wtf, these things are wandering around?]

[Mango just got scared and turned around? So cute www]

[The Han Group is really crazy. How did they create such things secretly?]

I'm also amazed.

No, this world is supposed to be a hero story, right? Why are there monsters?

I continued to explore the maze-like research building.

Broken cages and pictures of monsters that are scary enough to appear in nightmares.

No.

The more I think about it, the more it seems fortunate that the Han Group's actions were exposed now.

If they had been given enough time to continue without being discovered, I can't even imagine what they would have created.

"Ahem. First, I'll keep going deeper."

I continued to go further down.

Why is it so wide here?

What kind of labyrinth have they built under Seoul?

The wide white corridors still make me feel like I'm losing my mind.

The number of forks has increased, and I don't even know if I'm walking in a maze or what.

Even the communication is getting cut off as I go deeper, and the chat window is lagging.

"It's dizzying..."

While I was walking.

I heard... something thudding from somewhere.

Something, getting closer?

Yes, finally, a monster is coming.

I was wondering why I hadn't seen any.

I pulled out a sword from the bag I was carrying and aimed it at the corridor where the sound was coming from.

A long sword, the kind samurais use.

Of course, I also levitated the guns in case of emergencies.

According to the brief mention in the original work, these monsters have very weak durability and can be killed with a single sword strike.

So, there's no need to use guns. It's a good opportunity to show my sword skills to the audience.

"Come on!!!"

I'll slice anything!

From that dark corridor, what came running out was.

A white, human-sized cat face.

A long, spider-like body covered in white fur with dozens of legs.

And a wide, grinning mouth that takes up half of its face, showing sharp teeth!

And it's moving at a crazy speed!!!! Are you a train, damn it!!!!

"Aaaaaaaah!!!"

I couldn't help but scream at the shocking appearance!!!

How can such a thing exist in this world!!! This shouldn't exist!!!!

"Shoot!!! Shoot!!!"

Before I could swing my sword, I instinctively fired the guns!!!

The bullets went off with a rapid thud!

Fortunately, the creature fell over after being hit by a few simultaneous shots.

Then it quickly turned into white powder and flew away.

I barely, barely killed it...

"Huff... huff..."

Shit, I was going to use telekinesis and swing the sword, but I got so startled that I fired the guns without thinking. But damn, it really looks like something from a B-grade horror movie.

Not only was I shocked, but the viewers were also shocked.

It was a visual and appearance that would scare anyone.

[Oh, sudden appearance wtf]

[What is that thing?]

[Luckily, it lagged and I missed it, or I would have had a heart attack lol]

[At least it died after a few shots, so that's good]

[I already saved the clip of Mango's scream lol]

Hmm, I'll ask Seun to delete that clip.

Sigh...

I'm starting to regret coming here.

What kind of power-up is this, I should have just practiced my telekinesis.

But it's too late to regret now. I've already come this far, so I'll finish what I started, even if it means I die.

With renewed determination, I went deeper and deeper.

Since I was so far down, the streaming was no longer possible.

I thought I had shown enough, so I just cut the broadcast.

[Come back~~]

The last chat message was left as the broadcast stopped.

Then, I started to feel the reality of being alone in this deep, wide underground.

"...."

I'm scared!

Still, I kept walking. I'll sing the national anthem in my head. Until the East Sea and Mount Baekdu dry up...

As I walked, I started to see black slime in the middle of the corridor.

Is this the trail of Behemoth?

It probably means I'm getting closer to the end?

How long did I walk?

I was standing in front of many forks again.

Why did they build it like this?

It's already so dark that I can barely see.

While I was walking wherever I felt like, something started clicking on the side of the corridor.

Shit, another monster!

I gripped my sword and approached the dark side.

Suddenly, the lights turned on, and something jumped out in front of me!!!

"Aaaaaaaah!!!!!! Shit!!!!!!!"

Heart-stopping fear!!!

I instinctively closed my eyes and swung my sword wildly!!!

Cry, hell's demon!!!!

But my sword only sliced the air.

I only heard a woman's "Hic!" of surprise from in front.

Wait, a woman?

Surprised by the sudden voice, I opened my eyes.

In front of me was.

"Stardust?"

"Egosick...?"

Stardust was standing there, looking at me with a surprised face.

......Why are you here, teacher?
