chapter 31
{ Rivy 2 }
Rivy was sweating profusely at his sudden question.
Because there was no answer.
IT issues related to core security, such as the alarm function, are solely the responsibility of Rivy.
In the future, if the company gets a reprimand, even if they sell Aiden’s name, it will be difficult to avoid responsibility for this kind of work.
So if I had taken the worst case into account, I shouldn’t have told you.
Of course, I never imagined he would do such absurd things.
‘… How much can he protect me?’
He is slashing the back of the head of others so badly, and he will not be able to wipe his mouth completely if he has a conscience.
Isn’t it all because I knew I was going to get in trouble?
Rivy nodded inwardly and muttered inwardly.
He remembered the face he had been wiping incessantly in the past.
‘right. You did it last time too. If there’s a problem, sell your name.’
Rivy was waking up from his sleep, and his head was spinning without any problem.
But what he had just said before suddenly caught my attention.
[What do you mean? Getting to the heart of the question right from the start. desirable Hmm, yes… I have a plan. It’s fine. What are you going to do?]
‘Do I have a plan? I am OK? What do you mean? he… Do you have to protect me? no way?!’
What was the ‘plan’ he was referring to?
A number of really, really bad cases popped into Rivy’s head.
And cruelly, Aiden opened his mouth to confirm this.
“I am leaving here now. So, Rivy, I think you better plan ahead. I am speaking out of old age.”
At his words, the timing was amazing, Rivy exclaimed.
“What if I just go away like this! Didn’t I tell you to tell me that Aiden made it happen the last time you had a problem?”
“Ah, luckily you haven’t forgotten yet. Even if I didn’t, I was just trying to point it out. Probably, the company will also take issue with the fact that you upgraded my security level last time.”
“So! But what if I just go away!”
“That’s why I’m calling you personally and telling you in advance, isn’t it? In the bare minimum.”
“… … .”
Livi closed her mouth with a dissatisfied expression on her face.
At this point, it was because there was no way I could communicate with him at all.
‘Why me… What should I do?’
“If you are thinking of contacting outside right now, it would be better not to even consider it at all. Well, I wonder if I should think such a foolish thing, but speaking of an old woman… Will the company ignore your mistakes? In this situation now?”
“… … .”
“And if you try to do that, I’ll say you’re an accomplice.”
“… Why are you doing this to me?”
Then Aiden opened his mouth with a serious expression.
“Everyone is doing this because it hurts you.”
“… ?”
Aiden said, checking the control computer screen.
“The company will take care of you. That’s inevitable, something that will happen to you soon. So, what kind of punishment will fall?”
‘punishment… ‘
At the sudden selection of his vocabulary, Rivy’s head became white again.
Rivy stared blankly at Aiden’s side profile.
Even in an unrealistic painting, he is working hard on his own.
It’s like living in a different world than you.
At that moment, Aiden raised his head and looked over the monitor at the vessels in front of him and said,
A light, irresponsible tone, as if talking about someone else’s business.
“Perhaps you will be involved in an experiment.”
“Si, I hate it!”
Unable to understand his words, Rivy immediately shouted in a loud voice.
Then Aiden looked into his eyes and asked.
“Why don’t you like it?”
“… … .”
“Why did you show such an immediate refusal? Rivy?”
“… … .”
“You know it too. That the experiment was dangerous for the subjects. And that the company is doing these things without anyone knowing.”
The shaky Rivy and the unshakable Aiden’s eyes met.
His words entered his body, revealing Lavi’s latent great anxiety without mercy.
He tore the thin film that had been wrapped around it effortlessly.
“Even if this never happened. Rivy. Do you think the company will let you go?”
“that… ”
“You must have expected it to some extent. While trying to masturbate that it would never happen… Rather than avoiding the heavy truth and looking further into it, it is convenient and easy right now to just close your eyes. Just like the rest of the staff here. But let’s face the situation soberly. Even if this project is successfully completed, do you think the company will let you go?”
“… … .”
Looking at the shivering Rivy, Aiden spoke in a solemn tone.
“No, no… . Deep down in your heart, you already know that. This security environment, which has been continuously strengthened… Is this really something the company has put in place to protect us? Everyone would have thought so right after the first Subject Rampage, but what about now? Do you still see it as a protective measure? if not… ”
The two eyes met.
“Do you think they were trying to spy on us and lock us up?”
“… … .”
Rivy’s mouth didn’t open, but his instincts shouted.
Aiden’s words are true.
“It goes without saying that the project goes limp, and even if it succeeds, the secret must be kept. Why would you share this tremendous success with anyone?”
‘… In any case.’
“What is the surest way to keep a secret? Well, it’s a very easy question, but if you look at the history, there are too many examples.”
Rivy, who had guessed what he was going to say, looked down as if he didn’t want to accept it, and closed his trembling eyes, which he was holding on to.
Aiden’s words echoed.
“The most certain thing is to kill all those involved.”
‘How am I?’
I feel the same today, yesterday, and yesterday.
In the same environment as before, I only listened to his words.
It’s as if you’ve fallen into an abyss where you can’t even see an inch in front of you.
dizzy.
It feels like the world is spinning in the dark.
But Rivy realized that Aiden was showing favor, even while feeling dizzy.
Aiden didn’t need to talk to me like this.
If you were just trying to escape, it would be neat to just knock him down like Grayson and leave.
He’s giving me a chance to make a decision now.
‘My life… ‘
you should thank him
even if it was unilaterally forced.
Wasn’t it possible to face the truth right away thanks to that?
I know I don’t have much time.
‘so… ‘
Now is the time to face reality.
Livi opened her eyes.
Aiden, who was looking at Rivy like that, suddenly opened his mouth.
“Rivy. How old are you now?”
that’s nonsense.
But Rivy answered right away.
Now it seemed
That everything he says and does has a cause.
This question must be for some reason.
“I am 28 years old.”
“In the best case, even if you don’t die and live in quarantine and under surveillance. So you’re still too young, aren’t you?”
“… … .”
“I just did. I’m sorry to say that You can tell from the fact that you are working here with the old men here at such a young age.”
It’s a sudden compliment.
It was the first time he had seen Aiden like this, so Rivy looked at him intently.
Is it because of those eyes?
Aiden coughed once, then looked at the monitor and spoke again.
“Cain. That friend took good care of you.”
“Is that Cain?”
“okay. God bless me I wish I could bring you along.”
Livi’s eyes changed.
‘Cain… Are you aware of Aiden’s escape plan?’
As if he had predicted the thought, Aiden nodded and said.
“He is waiting for us. now. outside.”
At those words, Rivy said in a clear tone as if he had made up his mind.
“Aiden. me too… I will go out. Please take me.”
Aiden looked back at him and grinned.
Livi’s eyes were no longer trembling.
“Download the materials related to the experiment immediately. All data on BH’s laboratory facilities and specimens in the United States as well as around the world. I don’t have much time to give. 15 minutes at most. Once you’ve gathered all the data. Right Now!”
Rivy fully understood what he had to do right now without having to talk much longer.
Since I had decided to go on a boat with him, it was because I knew how important every second is now.
‘We have to extract as many materials as possible.’
It was Rivy who knew BH’s security capabilities better than anyone.
He knew all too well that an opportunity like this would never come again in the future.
His brilliant brain began to focus on only one thing, how to get a lot of data.
With so much concentration, Aiden went to the Vessels and had no idea what was going on there.
How much time has passed like that?
“Rivy… Livi… Rivy! are you done? You must go now!”
At the sudden sound of Aiden’s voice, Rivy was suddenly out of focus.
Rivy said right away without looking back.
“We have obtained current status data on experimental facilities around the world. However, since the project materials are so vast and the access rights are intricately subdivided, it is still not enough… ”
Then, Aiden cut off his words.
“done. Now is the time to move.”
Rivy nodded his head as if he understood, and Aiden’s voice continued.
“Can the internal CCTV screens be fixed in their current state? Mainly on the passageways.”
It wasn’t a detailed explanation, but Rivy understood the meaning immediately.
As long as you decide to escape, you must erase all possible information.
Whether it’s real-time or recorded.
“First, I will upload a fake image. If you’re careful in the security room, you’ll get caught, but you probably won’t notice it because people aren’t going around right now. There will be no recordings left.”
After concentrating for a moment, he pressed the enter key.
“That’s Okay.”
With regrets behind, Livi hurriedly removed the equipment from the control computer.
Then he looked back in surprise.
It was only then that he became aware of a new existence.
I didn’t realize it because I was concentrating on my work, but now that I see Aiden, two people I’ve never seen before were standing quietly next to Aiden.
A being that can be here right now…
‘Experiment!’
