How to Survive as a Villain in a Novel

87 – Evidence Collection (2)

A room filled with purple lights.

The size of the glass room could never be said to be narrow.

Moreover, the types of drugs being made there were also serious.

“… That’s Fenitil, which causes a surge of magical energy.”

The worst drug that is overwhelmingly addictive and induces a runaway of magical power in the target.

Due to the ecstasy that the process gave, it was also a drug worth billions of dollars per gram.

Starting from that, the amount and variety of things that can be seen at a glance are enormous.

I sent a small autograph to Han Chae-yoon.

It was a hand signal to just pass by.

-Nod

Without saying anything, Han Chae-yoon bows her head.

‘It’s shocking, but it’s nothing like this.’

We can’t deal with the Shenyang Group just because they cultivated drugs in the first place.

– It was simply grown for experimental purposes for medicinal purposes.

It is because of the power of the Shenyang Group and their media outlets that they can easily convince the public at a press conference like this.

Therefore, this is also a kind of bait.

It’s bait to bury bigger things, bigger scoops.

“Let’s pass by.”

I whispered softly to Han Chae-yoon.

She looks at me and nods her head.

She must have decided that this is not enough to damage Shenyang’s reputation.

After all, it is Han Chae-yoon.

Her judgment and cool-headedness shine when we work together.

We passed that space.

Without turning his head even once, as if he was used to it.

“…What’s next?”

We looked toward the front of the hallway.

The pitch-black place stretched out quite endlessly.

◆

Shenyang Group’s residence.

There were quiet voices going around in Chairman Seo Il-hwan’s study.

“… We have completed conveying this to the Prime Minister. This will probably be enough for lobbying. It may take a bit for the Hero Association, but… They are also doing a good job of rallying the anti-Dean Orbis faction.”

In a darkness that is quite dark for a room.

Kirilik.

With the sound of the chair turning, the face of the person sitting on the chair was half revealed.

He is middle-aged with a sharp look.

The metal glasses added to their sharpness

Seo Il-hwan, Chairman of Shenyang Group.

He opened his mouth.

“It’s going smoothly.”

“Yes.”

“As long as you get the prime minister on board, you don’t have to worry until his term ends. “The subordinates are already just like us.”

“That’s right.”

The corners of his mouth his rose as if he was satisfied.

“What about succession work?… Cough.”

Cluck, cluck.

Seo Il-hwan covered his mouth and let out a harsh sneeze.

Dark red blood drips from his hands

Seo Il-hwan.

The chairman of the Shenyang Group and once a hero.

He is also one of the top three heroes in Korea.

1st generation heroes.

However, he was not someone who was envied by everyone.

Because he pursued his own interests before any other values. He showed it without hesitation.

Therefore, unlike other first-generation heroes who held important positions, he established a guild.

And the guild grew into a company.

That is Shenyang today.

Although he is now sick and has a very old body, he was once a hero.

The secretary bowed her head.

“As long as the chairman makes a decision, succession can proceed at any time.”

“I see.”

“Are you still worried?”

Seo Il-hwan nodded.

His eyebrows were deeply furrowed.

“There are no people who are really big at anything.”

“…”

The secretary kept quiet.

This is because the chairman always became harsh whenever the issue of succession came up.

In fact, Chairman Seo Il-hwan did not hesitate to do anything illegal for the benefit of the company.

However, he tried to hand over the chairmanship to his children.

Probably possessiveness.

‘He would have done it in the first place if he could have stayed alive.’

Immortality.

The field in which Seo Il-hwan put the most effort into his life.

It can be said to be absurd.

However.

Seo Il-hwan discovered all kinds of technologies in the process of pursuing it.

From various drugs, new abilities, and technologies such as human body synthesis or life force extraction.

All of these were not made public because they were greatly against the law, or rather the universal view of humanity, but it was those technologies that contributed the most to Shenyang becoming what it is today.

In the first place, it’s not like a company the size of Shenyang can mass-produce heroes for no reason.

The butler stopped thinking about miscellaneous things.

This is because the chairman continued to grumble about succession.

“Seo Do-yoon is better. But he doesn’t have a heart. He should be able to do anything for profit, but I don’t think this guy can see 〈Underground〉 properly.”

〈Underground〉 literally refers to a research facility located in the basement of the Shenyang Group residence.

Security strength is the best.

A top secret known only to the chairman himself, his secretary, and people working there who can silence him at any time.

The things that happen there are beyond imagination.

Every day, hundreds of ‘living human bodies’ are used as experimental materials.

“Seo Bang-yoon is a total mess. He is a guy who is only focused on 〈 underground 〉. He is vicious, but he lacks the ability to see the whole picture. He can’t do business.”

Even in the secretary’s opinion, Seo Seob-yoon, the second child, was an overly cowardly person. He only hopes for luck and has no qualifications about it.

“Seo Hayun… Is very disappointed. He can’t even take care of an academy properly, so how can he rule Shenyang?”

Third Seo Hayun.

He was clearly a successor who was making a big splash until recently.

However, did he become the student council president of the Academy?

It’s been a long time since I left the chairman’s heart.

The chairman remained silent there.

The secretary asked cautiously.

“The fourth ability is never lacking, is it?”

“You.”

“…Yes, Chairman.”

“Are you telling me to hand over this company to a child who has a half-brother?”

“… I’m sorry.”

“Tsk.”

He shook his hands as if he felt uncomfortable.

The blood on his hands he evaporated and disappeared.

“I would rather continue if I were in good shape.”

Seo Il-hwan dies soon.

He failed in the face of immortality.

It was an experiment conducted at Orbis.

Life reversal using gates and voids.

The power of the void, which did not belong to humanity, was so powerful that the academy was completely destroyed.

The incident was somehow successfully resolved.

However, Seo Il-hwan, who was hit, lost half of his body.

It was fortunate that there were replacement bodies that had been researched.

However, I could never challenge for immortality again.

Secretary.

The white-haired middle-aged man who had been helping Seo Il-hwan for a long time thought that he was fortunate.

Although he was brought here, it is difficult to say that Seo Il-hwan is an ordinary human being. He was excessively evil.

However, there was no particular reason to assist him.

Because at first I was afraid of him and now it has become a habit.

The secretary carefully expressed a different opinion.

“…Chairman.”

“What is it?”

“These are the children dispatched from the academy this time.”

It was one of the risk factors that came to Shenyang.

Currently, Orbis Academy, or rather its president, is working on the anti-Shenyang Group front. There is no appearance of trying to hide its activities as much as possible, or anything that can be hidden from the Shenyang Group.

Therefore, the cadets she sent were also worthy of suspicion.

“Wouldn’t it be better to monitor things a little more thoroughly?”

“Isn’t it already registered in the surveillance system?”

“Still, they are not ordinary guys.”

The investigation into the dispatched personnel has already been completed to some extent.

Lee Han. A cadet from Orbis who has been showing great activity recently. Above all, it was unsettling that he was a survivor of the 〈 Orbis crack explosion 〉 incident.

Also, another girl, Han Chae-yoon. She is the vice-leader of a potential rival guild, the Black Cat Order.

The existence of the two was clearly too great to be dismissed as simply ‘cadets’.

“Don’t worry. They haven’t even graduated from the academy yet.”

“But,”

“I heard they drank too much yesterday. They said they made a big fuss in the bathroom. They’re just cadets who bowed out. They’re no different from other kids.”

“…”

“Would those kids ever go down to the basement? Even if they did, they would stop at the entrance.”

The secretary quietly listened to the president.

It was rarely right to disobey him.

“In the eyes of the students, it will stop there. Drug cultivation in the Shenyang Group must be very exciting. Young people are usually like that. You always worry too much. Go back. I’m tired.”

It was a congratulatory message.

“… I understand.”

The secretary bowed her head and stepped back.

◆

Accommodation assigned to Lee Han and his colleagues.

Ryu Seo-ah was guarding that place alone.

“… It’s annoying.”

The aftermath of being mercilessly dumped by Lee Han yesterday was still making Ryu Seo-ah feel sad.

But she just mutters to herself.

It was just that kind of line.

The important thing right now was to overthrow the Shenyang Group.

“Whoa.”

She sighed and headed to the room where Han Chae-yoon was staying.

There was a small doll there.

Its identity is the so-called ‘dummy doll’ that makes it seem like Han Chae-yoon is staying in Shenyang’s 〈 surveillance system 〉.

It was said to have been developed by Han Chae-yoon’s Black Cat and it seemed to be quite effective.

Just by periodically injecting mana into this doll, it imitates Han Chae-yoon’s biological signals and mana spectrum.

When I closed my eyes and felt it, it was really amazing.

— Wooung.

After infusing mana into her doll, Ryu Seo-ah headed to the next room.

It was Lee Han’s room.

“…”

She took a deep breath without realizing it.

Lee Han’s body odor still remained.

Lee Han’s doll was also there.

Ryu Seo-ah infused mana into it.

Despite her distraught mind her, her her two circles her, she were extremely stable.

The doll is renewed once again and imitates Lee Han.

Ryu Seo-ah, who was about to walk away, stopped at her spot.

“I can’t do it…”

And she carefully closed her eyes.

It felt as if Lee Han was here.

His evil energy his his his, feeling, body odor …

Even though she knew that was the effect of her doll, Ryu Seo-ah sank down on her bed.

The excitement never subsided.
