I Became a Genius by Running Away From the Academy

chapter 20



20 – Before the black dragon opens its mouth, its fangs (4)

‘This is…… ‘

The leader of the Black Dog was nervous at the moment when he saw the completely different space from before he lost his mind.

However, belatedly recalling the memory of being rescued at the last moment, he relaxed his body.

‘Is this the Qingdao branch of the Black Dragon Society? No, it’s not the Qingdao branch in terms of the type of facility.’

He quickly assessed the situation and sighed quietly.

‘Is that a bad guy’s research facility?’

I came to an annoying place.

Thought so, he clicked his tongue inwardly.

I wanted to get out of this unpleasant place right away.

But instead he chose to close his eyes and bury himself in bed.

My physical condition was too bad right now to simply move according to my mood.

‘This is the level of a miracle being alive.’

After checking his insides through his mana, he sighed at the condition of his body like a rag.

When I looked around, I saw a lot of unknown solution flowing into my body.

‘At least the ones I’m familiar with are narcotic painkillers and advanced potions.’

Now it was good to say that his body was barely holding on to his lifeline thanks to those things.

Perhaps the surviving men with him were in a similar or even worse condition.

‘There were three guys in all who stayed until the end.’

Considering that the number of black dogs mobilized for this mission alone exceeded one hundred, the result was absurd.

‘With this incident as an opportunity, the current Black Dog will virtually disband.’

If that happened, there was a high possibility that he, the leader of the Black Dogs, would take the responsibility and step back.

Ssiik-

But that was only when things were handled normally.

‘It has nothing to do with me as long as I successfully completed the mission.’

Just before leaving, he received a promise from his immediate supervisor.

A promise that if he succeeds in this mission, he will be freed from being a hunting dog and become an executive.

‘At first, I thought it was strange that he made such an offer for only one mission…… ‘

Toouk-

‘If it’s a mission to get an artifact of this level, it’s not unreasonable to make such a proposal.’

The artifacts they found in the dungeon were worth that much.

Because of this, he did not regret the death of his men at all.

To him anyway, his subordinates were just consumables that could be replaced even if lost.

‘…… Will it be okay?’

As he drew out the future and inflated his anticipation, a feeling of anxiety suddenly came to his mind.

The subspace pockets in Black Dog’s clothes are designed so that no one but the owner can open them.

‘However, the exception is when the subspace bag itself is damaged and the items inside are damaged.’

That was why he felt uneasy now.

Ugh-

He contemplated over and over again, and then confined himself to the inside of his room to expand his senses so that his body wouldn’t be overburdened.

After confirming that there was no one in the room except himself, he put his trembling hands into his arms and carefully took out a mask.

Unusually, the mask only covered the lower part of the face, and it had the shape of a vicious black tiger’s mouth with gleaming fangs and a growl.

My limbs tingled just looking at it, perhaps because of the aura of the artifact, but in his eyes, the mask was nothing but a golden ticket that would guide him to a rosy future.

Percussion-

“I wondered, but it really was this.”

“Uh…… ?”

That’s why the sight of the mask slipping out of his hand right in front of him by a hand that appeared suddenly felt like an unrealistic nightmare to him.

‘I didn’t feel the presence?’

He belatedly grasped the situation and widened his eyes in amazement.

Saying he didn’t notice because he was sick was no excuse.

Even when he is injured, no, rather, the more wounded he is, the more he is trained to be sensitive to the changes around him and the signs of others.

‘By the way, what about this guy? No, more than that, this guy…… ‘

The captain’s eyes trembled as he looked at the man who was examining the mask by turning his hand around.

‘People…… Was it right?’

He was clearly in front of his eyes.

I couldn’t see his face because it was covered in darkness, but I was sure because I could clearly see his body and the hands that turned the mask around.

By the way…… All senses denied his existence.

Smell?

It doesn’t work.

Sound?

I can’t hear it.

Presence?

I don’t feel it.

Gulp-

I was definitely looking at it with my own two eyes, but I couldn’t feel its presence.

‘Ghost…… ‘

When the leader who unknowingly came up with such a word couldn’t even lift a finger as if he was being held down by a pair of scissors under the most terrifying pressure.

“To be able to retrieve this here is an unexpected harvest.”

The man who was examining the mask muttered quietly, took it into his arms, and took a step forward.

Then the moonlight walked through the darkness and illuminated the man’s figure.

‘Shao Zhan?’

Seeing the white study gown and the familiar mask, he thought so for a moment.

But he soon denied the idea.

Only the appearance is the same, but the texture of the feeling that the man exudes from Xiao Zhan is completely different.

“You…… Who…… “

I asked in a stammering voice.

I asked that question not only because I was really curious, but also to buy time somehow.

To buy time to find a way out of this desperate situation.

That moment.

“I’ve been thinking about this for a long time, isn’t it too complacent to just leave an enemy in a restrained state, no matter how weak he is?”

He opened his mouth.

“Know how to do something and leave it alone. At least one hand and one leg should be amputated beforehand to be safe.”

Fubu Book-

In the blink of an eye, daggers were lodged in his limbs as he lay down.

“If I felt even the slightest discomfort, I wouldn’t have taken out the item, so I was forced to scare him unnecessarily like this.”

“Turn it off…… “

Belatedly, he tried to scream, but his cracked and mangled neck prevented him from properly screaming.

“Oh, it’s okay. First of all, I put a lot of anesthetic on the dagger, so it won’t hurt.”

After hearing that, I checked later and found that I definitely didn’t feel any pain from the wound.

At the same time, he realized one thing from this clumsy mercy and short conversation.

The fact that the man in front of me didn’t have much experience in murder.

“Buy…… Let me…… “

Realizing this, the leader immediately changed his strategy to arouse sympathy by begging for his life.

He knew it well because he had raised numerous subordinates.

When a person who has little experience of murder shows the most shaking.

“I must…… There is someone to protect…… “

Because of this, he scratched his hoarse voice all the more and desperately begged for his life.

He said that he had circumstances and there were people he had to protect, earnestly making the viewer feel sad.

Looking at the leader, he said quietly.

“Since you were taken in by the Black Dragon since you were an orphan and raised as a hunting dog, you don’t have a proper name, so there’s no way there could be such a sad story.”

At that one word, the captain’s mouth froze for an instant.

“And don’t try to turn your head in my direction as I speak. I’ll listen to you for now, but if you try to take out the stinger in your mouth, I’ll cut you right in the head with a dagger.”

“How…… “

And at the last word, he was utterly astonished and asked involuntarily.

If information leaked from inside the Black Dragon, it wouldn’t be strange to know about it.

But it was impossible to know about his trump card, the sting in his mouth.

‘But how does this guy do that…… ‘

People feel instinctive fear the moment they face a being beyond their understanding.

As the hound of the black dragon, he was feared by many people, and the car wash’s eyes trembled when he realized him.

“How I know that is a secret. Is that the end of begging for your life?”

The man looked at him and asked.

The leader realized something and stammered.

“You now…… Practice with me…… “

“Oh, that’s right.”

A man’s weakness, which the leader initially thought of, was already known to the man himself.

That’s why the man chose to have a conversation with him.

As if they were accustomed to putting their lives on a shaky gambling board.

It’s like taking someone else’s life and getting used to the feeling of being resurrected.

This time, to get used to the sensation of going back to everyday life after stepping on someone else’s will.

“Ha…… “

He let out a breath full of dejection.

It was true that the man in front of me was a baby whose scales hadn’t hardened yet.

However, what was in front of him now was not a simple baby snake, but a young snake that could kill anything from birth.

Belatedly noticing him, he gave up his resistance and closed his eyes.

At the very least, I didn’t want to die in the hands of the enemy.

The man who read that will stared at him for a moment before placing the dagger over his heart.

Even in that state, he didn’t say anything, so the man, Yujin Do, muttered softly.

“One thing, let me tell you, you were originally destined to die. Sixth, I had no intention of keeping my promise to you.”

“What is that…… “

The captain reflexively opened his eyes wide at the words that directly brought out the deepest regret in his heart.

Pu-wook-

And at that moment, Yujin Do pierced his heart with a dagger.

“…… “

I didn’t kill him like this because I opened my eyes to a sudden bad taste.

I only brought this up because there was only one way to rescue him who had given up on life.

‘And I was going to see if I could kill him or not…… I was able to plug it in without hesitation.’

Do Yoo-jin left the room with a sigh as he had gotten used to the feeling of stabbing people with a dagger.

Then I slowly walked inside the sealed building.

This was the reason Doujin took the cube from Xiaozhan.

Because only he and the person holding his master key could block the entire research building.

The people inside the building didn’t show much fuss even though they were trapped, probably because they made an excuse to protect the black dogs they brought this time.

No, he even laughed in relief as if he thought he would be protected.

Pu-wook-

Watching them like that, Yujin Do took care of them quietly, one by one, as if taking out a book from the bookshelf and reading it.

Ehh-

“As expected, I am not suitable for the main character.”

Doujin finally arrived at Shao Zhan’s lab at the top and muttered as he brushed off the blood on his dagger.

Among them, there were a lot of talented people who could turn Doujin into pieces of meat in an instant if they collided head-on.

However, none of them had the ability to notice Yoo-jin Do’s existence even at the moment of being stabbed in the neck.

“Assassination…… “

Do Yujin muttered a little and opened the door to the lab.

‘It’s a bit embarrassing, but what can I do? I’m determined to move from behind, so I’ll have to endure it.’

Do Yoo-jin made up her mind once again and took all of the sub-space bags on the table.

“Then, since we’ve done everything we need to do, let’s go.”

After completing the final settings with Xiao Zhan’s device, Doujin activated the short-range portal he used when he first came here.

And soon after.

Kwagwagwagwang–!!!

The large amount of explosives Doujin had been making since her first day created a huge explosion and engulfed her building.
