Became a Human Rights Advocate

92 – Episode 17. Cheongmyeong High School.

＜6＞

Cheongmyeong Foundation Basement, Deep Research Building.

“Somehow lower the temperature!”

“It’s a bunch. Coolant supply cut off-“

“Then you want to die here! Come on, move!”

“You there! Don’t be idly by, drag a fire hydrant down!”

Around the time Los Zetas was in full swing on the ground, fighting was unfolding in the basement below.

The monitors and screens installed everywhere were filled with warnings of danger.

The temperature continues to rise.

Communications were restored some time ago, but there is still no contact with the central water management facility.

No one knows when the coolant supply will be cut off.

The reason people in panic were able to move was because Baek Chung-hwan’s secretary was here.

Amidst the chaos, Baek Cheong-hwan’s secretary was trying to rectify the situation somehow by arranging people in the right places.

‘How did I get to this position?’

You can’t lose everything here.

With just that one thought, Baek Chung-hwan’s secretary took all possible measures. Hopefully the temperature won’t rise any higher than this.

Has his wish finally reached the sky?

The steeply rising temperature has begun to stabilize to some extent. It is still an upward-sloping curve, but the slope has become considerably gentler.

At this level, I bought quite a bit of time.

Maybe we can hold out until the water system is back to normal.

As the secretary let out a sigh of relief, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, he felt a familiar presence behind him.

“What is the situation?”

“It’s barely stable.”

“That’s fortunate. Very capable.”

“This is too much praise. More than that, Chairman, what happened upstairs….”

The secretary looked at Baek Chung-hwan and blurted out his words.

Unlike when he was giving himself instructions a while ago, his complexion doesn’t look so good.

The neat suit is covered in dirt, with faint bloodstains in places.

Especially, there were black blood bruises on the neck.

“No need to worry. It’s more stable than that… , Specifically, how long can you last?”

“At the current state, half a day seems to be no problem. Of course, I don’t know when the situation will change, but…”

After hearing the secretary’s explanation, Baek Chung-hwan closed his eyes for a moment.

‘Half a day. Los Zetas are coming down from above, and it is questionable when the coolant will be replenished. The one who helped me just now must have been a toy that Ji-Young Ju played with, a special department or something… ‘

Baek Chung-hwan’s brain cells begin to move actively.

In an instant, a plausible scenario was completed in his head.

A way to fend off Los Zetas raids, get rid of the obtrusive Ju Ji-young, and at the same time show the world what she has accomplished with the Blue Myeong Foundation.

‘Not bad for an impromptu scenario.’

Is it about 75 points out of 100?

“Gentlemen, could you pay attention to me for a moment?”

People’s movements suddenly stopped as soon as Baek Cheong-hwan’s words stopped.

It has stabilized for a while, but the situation is still urgent. But no one here was brave enough to defy the foundation’s chairman.

Because Cheonghwan Baek’s existence was absolute in this Cheongmyeong Foundation, and his words were no different from law and order.

A place out of the public eye, especially underground.

“Facilities give up.”

“… Yes?”

At Baek Chung-hwan’s words, someone spat out a dumbfounded sound.

“Sin… sorry!”

Immediately after that, the person in question bowed his head 90 degrees and apologized for his disrespect.

However, Baek Cheong-hwan continued his conversation with a faint smile instead of being angry as usual.

“As everyone knows, only our Cheongmyeong succeeded in the experiment. It was truly a year of endurance.”

At Baek Chung-hwan’s words, the researchers slightly looked at each other, then nodded as if in sympathy.

14 Years ago, their experiment was known to the world under the name of the ‘Lost-Child’ incident.

After that, how much effort did you put into avoiding the public eye?

It would have been impossible to focus on the experiment if it had not been for the full support of Cheonghwan Baek and the protection of the Cheongmyung Foundation.

“The first phase transforms the human body into a vessel that can accept the seeds. The second phase transplants the seeds into the vessel. Well, it seems that many others have reached this point… But the third phase was different. .”

Baekcheonghwan spread his arms wide to the left and right, and spoke in a rather thrilling tone.

“Only Cheongmyung was the only one who succeeded in germinating the seeds. But… Unfortunately, we were not given the opportunity to show off our proud achievements to the world.”

A lot has changed in the last 14 years.

The biggest change is that the war between the Irregulars and mankind has stabilized to some extent.

This is the result of the active use of heroes who graduated from the academy, and new weapons created by researching their portrait abilities.

Finally, a spark of hope was born in mankind.

And the powerful people in various places did not pay much attention to the research of the ‘seed’ as before.

In the first place, since the research was based on some kind of occult, the reliability was not very high.

The reason they were able to receive support in the past was because mankind at that time was on the verge of extinction.

In a situation where life is at stake, it is the human heart to want to hold on to a straw.

But now I can afford it to some extent.

There is no longer any reason to obsess over unstable research that has not yielded proper results.

If it had not been for Baek Chung-hwan’s unique political sense, perhaps the research itself would have become ‘non-existent’.

Because politicians in each country would want to deny the fact that they were involved in human experimentation.

“How is it? Taking this opportunity to present your creations to the world.”

“… Chairman!”

The secretary looked surprised and tried to dissuade him, but Baek Cheong-hwan lightly ignored the secretary and continued his words with a calm face.

“I trust you guys. Gentlemen, you can control ‘it’ enough. Yes?”

“Yes!”

The researchers exclaimed at the same time with faces full of excitement.

“Okay then. I will take all responsibility Let’s begin.”

As soon as Baek Chung-hwan finished speaking, the researchers started to move in perfect order.

As if the anxious and anxious attitude up until now had been a lie, there is an emotion of joy that cannot be hidden on the face.

‘Anyway, they’re really simple guys.’

Most of the personnel in this underground facility are fanatics obsessed with the ideology of Kabbalah.

It was a waste to throw away, so they were collected, but Baek Cheong-hwan did not have high expectations.

However, I didn’t know that the transplantation of the honey seeds would be successful.

‘I’m glad I paid for the meal.’

Baek Cheong-hwan looked at the researchers who were moving frantically with cold eyes.

Anyway, the most important experimental data is already in Baek Chung-hwan’s hands.

The most troublesome problem is always how to be born from a human being.

‘I hope it gets erased with Los Zetas on this occasion.’

Wishing such a light wish in his heart, Baek Chung-hwan quietly left the place with his secretary.

“How to escape?”

“There is a helicopter on the roof.”

Baek Chung-hwan nodded his head as if satisfied with the secretary’s answer.

“It’s fortunate that today is the day of the bazaar.”

There are very few students left in the school now.

In other words, even if the whole school is blown down today, there are few students who would lose their lives.

“I was lucky.”

Because the less loss of ‘product’, the better.

＜7＞

The traces of the battle stretched along the center of the playground.

As I followed the trail, I entered a building located in the center of the campus.

It was so quiet inside the building that it was hard to believe it was a school.

Since it’s officially a non-school day, it must be that there are almost no students.

The traces of the battle led to the inside of the building, but looking at how quiet it is up there….

“… It must be below.”

I feel a tremendous amount of pressure on the stairs leading to the basement.

An indescribable, unpleasant sensation that could not be treated as a mere oversight was clearly embedded in my brain.

The fact that the Cheongmyung Foundation is hiding a mysterious existence underground is clearly implied on the story of Legend of Academia.

Since it hasn’t been revealed in the official story yet, it’s full of rice cakes, and since I was brought to this world before I knew its identity, I don’t know the details.

But one thing is for sure that there is ‘something’ down here.

Something feels very ominous. To the point where I feel like I have to stop chasing and go back right now.

Of course, since I’ve come this far, such an option doesn’t exist in the first place.

I paused for a moment to gather my senses, then began to carefully descend the stairs.

And,

My forebodings came true.

“… Uh?”

Unbeknownst to me, such a stupid sound leaked out of my mouth.

A familiar person is lying on the floor.

The glossy black hair is messy and tangled.

There are red bloodstains on the white school uniform, which is usually spotless.

It doesn’t look good enough that you can’t feel the calm yet dignified atmosphere at all.

“Suisei!”
