Became a Human Rights Advocate

89 – Episode 17. Cheongmyeong High School.

＜1＞

Around the time when Lee Si-hyeok and his party continued their battle with Yan in the central tower.

Baek Chung-hwan, the chairman of the Cheongmyeong Foundation, was walking down a white hallway with a firm expression.

“What is the situation?”

Baek Cheong-hwan asked the secretary next to him in a cold voice.

“The water in the moat is decreasing at a rapid rate. As a result of internal inspection, there were no abnormalities, so it seems that there is something wrong with the center.”

“I know that even if you don’t say it. Communication has been down since a while ago, but there’s no way the center is fine. He’s really talented too.”

At Baek Chung-hwan’s sarcastic tone, the secretary lowered her head.

“So, what are the countermeasures?”

“First of all, part of the damage control team in the central area-.”

“I can’t understand the current situation!”

Baek Cheong-hwan roared and stopped in his seat.

“Do you know what it means to have less water?”

“This… Chairman.”

“Coolant! Cooling water! The coolant is running out!”

Coolant.

Hearing those words, the secretary’s face turned pale in an instant.

“Uh… We will do something about it.”

“That’s how it should be. If action is not taken, we will both die. What are you doing! Run!”

“Yes!”

The secretary rushed out into the depths of the hallway.

It’s a known fact that the moat will dry up, so it’s to check how much water we’ve stockpiled.

Baek Cheong-hwan, who was watching the back with a dissatisfied expression, started muttering to himself as if his anger still didn’t subside.

“… What kind of guy are you?”

There are many predictable forces.

Because there are a lot of groups aiming for the ‘things’ stored in the basement of Cheongmyeong.

However, when forces move, noise is sure to arise.

There is no way Baek Cheong-hwan, who has stretched his legs in various directions, misses the noise.

In addition, doing this kind of trick in broad daylight, not even in the middle of the night, means that you don’t care what happens to the ‘thing’ inside.

No matter how much I thought about it, I didn’t think there would be such a crazy guy.

“… Then please.”

If it is a simple breakdown or an accident, this side is a bigger problem.

Because it is unknown whether we can solve it in time or not.

I’m Baek Cheong-hwan, who didn’t like Plato that much, but now I missed that cheeky kid quite a bit.

At least when there was Plato, there had never been a noise like this.

How on earth are you managing things like this to happen?

In fact, Baek Cheong-hwan himself was the root cause.

Joo Joo-young, who was supposed to succeed Plato as the next chairman. Because it was none other than him who rebelled against Ju Ji-young and took away his power.

That’s why there was no proper investigation into the booster incident, and as a result, it has reached this point.

Of course, Baek Chung-hwan does not know this fact.

And even if I knew, I wouldn’t admit it.

“Eh.”

After hitting the wall with his cane for no reason, Baek Chung-hwan headed back to the stairs on the ground.

At the time I could no longer hear the sound of the cane being picked up, a door beside the hallway opened quietly.

It was none other than Ju Ji-young who poked her head out from inside.

“… What the hell is that person hiding in the basement?”

This is an unusual story.

The word coolant brings to mind nuclear fission.

If Ju Ji-young’s prediction is correct, this academia might be blown away.

Perhaps the mass distribution of boosters yesterday and today is also related to today’s work.

… If so, it seemed that Lee Si-hyeok’s words were right this time as well.

It occurred to me that this Cheongmyeong High School, which at first glance seemed unrelated, might be the center of events happening throughout this academia.

Joo Ji-young turned her head and looked in the direction her secretary ran.

She is in the same direction as the place where there was a blank in the blueprint, which she had checked in advance.

Perhaps if you follow him, you will be able to reach the secret hidden by the Blue Myeong Foundation.

Joo Ji-young swallowed her saliva and sneakily checked her cell phone.

Still, communication has not been restored.

I was worried about my children, but… , she had no choice but to believe in those children who would now become future heroes.

As she thought so, the moment she was about to leave the room

– There is an intruder on campus. Damage control team to act quickly.

With the sound of sirens, bright red lights began to flash in the hallway.

Ju Ji-young’s face turned white as she hurriedly closed the door and hid.

Because the only person who could be said to have invaded the Cheongmyung Foundation was Joo Joo-young himself.

‘You must have avoided the camera?’

Joo Ji-young held her breath and hid her body behind her door.

She has to break through, even by force. If she misses this opportunity, she will not be able to reach the secrets hidden by the Qingming Foundation.

It was Ju Ji-young, who had been concentrating on the sound of people’s footsteps getting louder with such determination, but…

‘… What?’

The sound of my footsteps went farther away, putting that resolution to shame.

It seems that there are intruders besides herself who have infiltrated this Seimei High School.

Ju Ji-yeong was curious about who the intruder might be, but… She said, she quickly did what she was doing.

The deep underground of Cheongmyeong High School.

To reveal the secret hidden within.

“Quaaagh!”

The huge security guard collapsed with a groan.

Even though he was the most physique of the guards, he was immediately knocked out by the intruder’s fist.

“Is this the end?”

Ross looked at the other guards surrounding him with a grim expression.

“Then get out of the way, I have someone I need to meet.”

“Don’t be funny!”

One of the guards who took out a three-barrel shouted and swung his arm.

However, the attack is easily blocked by Ross’s log-like arm.

“It hurts.”

Ross muttered quietly, and in an instant rushed at the guard with the triple baton.

Then, holding his waist with both hands, I lowered him to the floor and took a picture.

He had his powers adjusted, so he wouldn’t die, but he’d be hospitalized for a few weeks.

Other guards who saw the devastation secretly noticed and distanced themselves from Ross.

As the encirclement opened in an instant, Ross moved his steps again with a sad expression on his face.

“Stop!”

A heavily armed damage control team appeared.

The muzzle of the silenced rifle is pointed at Ross.

“Get down on the floor! Hurry!”

“This is true. Unexpected.”

But instead of following the instructions, Ross laughed as if he was having fun.

Anyway, it looks like he looked down on him properly.

No, the clear side might not have grasped Ross’ movements in the first place.

If I had known Ross was coming, I’d rather have tried to snip him from afar and not appear in front of him like this.

“Finally, a warning! Get down on the floor!”

“I hate that. It’s an expensive suit.”

Muttering something nonsensical, Ross started walking again.

The damage control team was taken aback by that move, but soon they were faithful to their duties.

The team leader nodded, and one member pulled the trigger without hesitation.

A bullet was fired with the sound of a peeking silencer.

The bullet went through Ross’s body instead of-

“Quaaagh!”

“What are you doing right now-.”

“Ah… no. Your body is on its own!”

The shooter shouted in panic, but the gun was pointed again at the next victim.

“Stop shooting! Stop!”

“Damn, was that a spy? Conduct counter fire!”

“No! The body really does what it wants!”

Instead of the sound of gunshots masked by the silencer, the screams of the crew filled the clearing campus.

But that’s only for a while. After a while, a quiet silence comes.

As he smelled the acrid smoke of gunpowder and the fishy blood, Ross felt as if he had returned to his hometown for the first time in a long time.

At that moment, a shrill scream reached Ross’ ears.

Clearance students watching the commotion on the playground through the window.

They watched with disbelief at the devastation that had taken place on the playground.

Ross looked at those gazes pouring toward him for a moment, then took a deep breath in his breath for a moment and—

“Baek Cheong-hwan!”

I shouted the name of the chairman of the Cheongmyung Foundation so that the entire campus reverberated.

Ross was thinking of doing something extravagant outside if possible.

If you go underground, the whole truth might be hidden in darkness, just like it was 14 years ago.

The reason why I boldly did this outside in the middle of the day is to somehow expose the ugly truth that the Blue Ming Foundation is hiding.

‘Now… What am I going to do now?’

If there’s no reaction, let’s rampage some more before the sniper team moves.

Ross, who was walking again with that thought in mind, noticed a man appearing at close range.

“Yes. It was you.”

An old man holding a cane was looking at Ross with a nod of his head.

“… Are you Baek Cheong-hwan?”

“Nice to meet you, Ross. Was this your first time seeing it?”

Baek Chung-hwan’s face, saying that, doesn’t contain any emotion of fear or anger.

No, rather, he was smiling brightly with the corners of his mouth raised.

The moment he felt that way, Ross immediately used his ability.

It was an attempt to hold her hostage-

“It will hurt a little.”

The floor started to vibrate like crazy with a strange sound.

Ross hurriedly tried to get out of his seat, but for some reason his body couldn’t move on his own.

His legs let go of their own strength, and Ross fell to the floor.

“In the brain of a person with abilities. There are several elements that differ from conventional humans.”

Toward Ross, Baek Cheong-hwan slowly walks with a cane.

“With just a slight touch on that additional element, it will fall like this.”

“… Big—.”

Baek Chung-hwan continued to speak while slamming Ross’ palm with his cane.

“Hmm… I never thought the day would come when it would actually work. Thanks, I got good data. It still requires a device so huge that it’s seldom practical. Ah, the device is buried here underground. It’s the size of this entire playground.”

Baek Cheong-hwan, who was talking happily without asking, smiled and bent over him, then grabbed Ross by the hair and lifted him up.

“To come to return the ‘seed’ like this. Thank you so much, Ross.”
