Academy Life of a Career Hypnotist

Episode 61. Star counting night (13)

run through the hallway

“It’s an intruder!”

“The order has been given to kill on sight! Shoot without hesitation!”

Tata Tang!

It goes through the shower of bullets pouring down like rain. Quite a few bullets are intercepted with my Magic Bullet’s Walted Shot.

When it is judged that it cannot be blocked, only avoid the most important parts as much as possible. If possible, it is allowed to deliberately hit parts where organs are not injured.

“Kuk.”

It was bitter.

Perhaps the bullets had anti-magic properties, and the bullets they shot pierced my skin without a doubt. I don’t know if I’d rather stop at that line, but the bullets stuck in my body interrupted the flow of magic power.

In other words, if left alone, it will interfere with the use of nature, so it must be pulled out.

[Activates ‘Emotion Implant’.]

Let’s save as much as possible.

I put a tiny bit of anesthetic into my brain, then hid behind cover and drew my dagger.

“Ugh. Ugh!”

He used the tip of the blade to pull out the bullet lodged in his flesh.

The body of an adult has a higher natural hemostasis rate and natural healing power than ordinary people, but be vigilant. I tore off the extra hem and made a makeshift bandage to wrap around the wound.

Caang! Caang!

“Keuk!”

“Oops… .”

I dealt with the search party who tried to approach this direction by aiming at the Astrolabos.

The magic bullets I shoot at them are all used with my mental power. I need to save this too, so I invest only a small amount of mental power in ammunition.

If this happens, they will be blocked by their bulletproof vest made of special material, but that’s the story of being hit by a bulletproof vest. My bullets hit them in the face unconditionally.

‘It’s over there!’

After all the search parties that were chasing were dealt with, there was a brief lull. I was able to reach the first room where I could feel Halo’s energy.

“Aagh! aaa!”

tell me what to do Forebodings always go wrong. I heard the screams of a child who looked young at first glance.

the problem is.

‘what? There’s no entrance, but you can hear it from over the wall, right?’

This area was the first place I came to when I first entered the laboratory and searched for it. However, I felt energy around here, so I wondered when the child was brought here.

“sh*t!”

bang!

With a feeling of grabbing straw, I kicked against the wall. Of course, he didn’t even budge.

I looked around meticulously again, but the entrance was nowhere to be seen. Since this laboratory had a single passage structure, it was impossible to search the upper and lower floors.

As time passes, the child’s cry over the wall gradually weakens. I feel tired. The moment that sound stops, it will be the end of the child.

‘calm down. keep calm There is a way to get in somehow, so I wonder if the child was hidden inside. Let’s think. You have to think. Doyoon Kim. The more I hurry, the more I go back.’

Take a deep breath and think of a way to get inside.

and.

“ah!”

The thought circuit that was running tight comes up with a dramatic idea.

[Activates ‘Sense Control’.]

[The hearing is greatly strengthened.]

I circled around, tapping the walls with my dagger. If there is such a thing as a hidden door, if it is a structure that can be moved somehow, there will be a difference in vibration when knocked.

‘It feels different only here.’

Before long, they stand face to face in front of a disparate wall with different tapping sensations. I hit it hard with my fist just in case, but I still felt that the wall was solid.

Then how about this

‘When Nayeon Eom and I entered from the outer wall of this research lab, pressing a hidden button made a hole in the wall.’

Maybe this wall has the same principle applied. Then, where is the hidden button?

[Activates ‘Sense Control’.]

[The sense of smell is greatly strengthened.]

I decided to look for it by smell. Pressing the button inevitably means that the skin of the body touches the wall. Unless you open it remotely, the body odor will definitely remain.

Click.

‘bingo!’

The moment you press your finger on the part of the wall that smells strong. The door in the hidden wall opened, revealing a space inside.

“Aagh!”

The child was still in its early stages of Halo.

In addition to this child, we have to save three more children on the opposite side here. I couldn’t afford to calm down while communicating calmly, so I forcibly put on the emoji implant.

“ah… . Whoa… … .”

Once you have secured one person. There will be some aftereffects, but since it is in its initial state, it will not last long.

‘I have to take this child.’

I was a little apprehensive about leaving it here. I carried the stunned child on my shoulders and ran to the next place where I felt the energy.

“Seolchaehwa. What about reinforcements? I won’t ask who you are, so tell me how far you’ve come!”

“… … Senior Kang Ah-ram started first. They’re probably on their way back to that hidden exterior wall route to get in as safely as possible.”

It takes a long time to get to the entrance to the lab through the route there. Even she is dragging a body that is not in normal condition, so the speed will be even slower.

Arguably, a decision will be made in one way or another. In this dire situation, there was probably no ingenuity to ask for her help.

“Then what about other reinforcements?”

“wait a minute. I will contact you again.”

It sounds like you’re still on the way. When I was with Eom Na-yeon, he said as if he would come right away, and it seemed like it was just a futile expectation.

‘found.’

Among them.

This time I was lucky enough to find the second child’s room without encountering the search party.

The method was the same. Just like when I saved my first child, I found an entrance and put the Emotion Implant to sleep. However, there was one thing that was different from when I was the first child.

‘I almost went into Halo mid-season.’

The four children McClane mentions Halo occurred at the same time as each other. It means that the later the child is saved, the more serious the Halo condition will be.

can you make the time Nayeon Eom can eat the final boss pattern raw, so there is nothing to worry about.

‘Only me, only I can do well. As long as I do it, it’s clear.’

A heavy sense of responsibility squeezes my heart.

It is no exaggeration to say that the psychological pressure I feel now is the greatest in my life, to the extent that the pressure I felt while playing the violin on Signal Street felt like a charming act.

“omg. Huh!”

He now carries two children on his shoulders. can’t use weapons Engagement is impossible, so you must avoid encountering the search party. In that sense, I had the best means of detection.

[Activates ‘Sense Control’.]

[The hearing is greatly strengthened.]

I keep the percussion sound coming from the central control center as low as possible so that I can’t hear it, and listen to the sound coming from my vicinity.

“Ugh… .”

For a moment, I lost my balance and almost fell. He gritted his teeth and gave strength to both legs.

It was vertigo. The brain, which had already been abused by the intentional use of Halo once, is complaining of its limits.

‘Really everything is here. little bit more. Please hold on a little longer.’

third room.

“Quaaagh!”

As feared, the child found this time had progressed to the middle stage of Halo.

Paperweight!

In this state, it was impossible to put the child to sleep with only the Emotion implant. Rather, as if to resist him more, the wings sprouting from the child’s back began to draw and consume the host’s mana without hesitation.

With trembling hands, I aimed the Astrolabus at the child.

‘It’s better than dying! Rather than letting the child die, even by force like this… I need to stun the child… … .’

The gun, which had been shaking violently, finally headed for the floor powerlessly. He forced himself to swallow the phlegm that was vaguely blocking his throat.

I can’t. I just couldn’t shoot.

Then there is only one way left.

I raised my combat stance as much as possible and rushed at the child.

Chew! Kwajijik!

The force of nature emanating from the child hit my stomach. Thanks to that, the phlegm that kept blocking my breath from the inside of my throat from before. No, not phlegm, but hematemesis.

“Cool! are you okay. baby calm down.”

“Ah. aaagh!”

While holding the child in her arms, she stroked her hair as gently as possible and activated the emotion implant.

“who is this! Who are you?! Oh, I can’t see! I can’t hear anything! Do not come! Get away!!!”

I was startled and checked the child’s condition. I didn’t know the hearing condition well, but I could definitely know the sight.

‘You made me blind on purpose.’

He bit his lip until blood gushed out.

What kind of nature did Septagram want to bring into bloom, bringing him to this point? Just imagining how they would conduct research on this child made me vomit.

[‘Telepathy’ is activated.]

“are you okay. He’s the one who came to rescue you. So, you can rest easy now.”

“Uh huh? It’s strange. Whoops, whoops. I can’t hear… . Turn it off! Are you really the one who came to rescue me?”

“huh. So you don’t have to be afraid anymore.”

The child’s breathing, which had been gasping for breath, gradually subsided. In the meantime, I did not forget to activate the Emotion Implant steadily.

Swoop.

After a while, the wings that had been parasitic on the child and consuming mana disappeared, followed by the ring on top of the head that turned into particles of light and disappeared.

I drew a breath from deep in my lungs and exhaled deeply. When I put the child in my arms down on the floor, I saw the torn and battered chest.

“ah! Doyoon Kim Mr. Kang Ah-ram just got on the elevator going down to the basement!”

“That sounds nice to hear. I’ll hide the extra children I just saved in the room. I’ll tell you where they are, so ask Kang A-ram to watch over those children until the inside of the lab is sorted out.”

After moving the children into the room, I kicked again to rescue the fourth and final child.

[Remaining Spirit: 17%]

This level of mental strength is enough to put the child to sleep. The question was how far the child’s Halo status had progressed.

‘It must have progressed to the middle stage, and it would be really big if it went to the terminal stage… … .’

It feels like skin. The closer you get to the room where the child is, the more you feel the runaway mana.

My pulse raced wildly. The alarm bell in my head went off like crazy.

I pulled up my feet, which were already running fast, at full speed. The closer we got, the clearer we became.

The fourth child will already be at the end of Halo. He will suffer from more severe side effects than the third child he saved, and will spend at least several years in a hospital room.

I’d rather have that. Even if I was in a hospital room, I hoped it would be a future where I could live with the promise of tomorrow. I didn’t want to let him die here.

‘There’s only one left! Just save him and you’re done!’

He chewed and swallowed complaining to whom he was crying. I was almost in a trance and ran to the room where I felt the energy of a child.

and.

――――――――――.

The energy disappeared as if it had suddenly been cut off.

“ah… .”

An indescribable feeling of exhaustion settled down in my legs. The speed at which he was running decreased rapidly, and soon he could not move even one step.

finished.

It was the only thought that came to my mind.

‘Only one really… . I only needed to find one more… … .’

My footsteps did not slow down. I didn’t want to go into that room in front of me. I didn’t have the courage to put my eyes on the tragedy that was unfolding in front of my eyes.

that buck that buck

nevertheless.

I forcibly pull my steps, afraid to face reality, and move forward. That’s how I approached the room where the fourth child would be.

“Mr. Kim Do-yoon.”

At that time, at Seol Chae-hwa’s voice, I hesitated as I put my hand on the side where the button was.

“why.”

“Actually, besides senior Kang A-ram, one more person has already entered.”

“… … what?”

Click.

Without realizing it, I put strength in my fingers and press the button.

Jiying.

The door opens, and in a situation where the mind is not ready, the tragedy unfolds before your eyes… … .

“… … .”

… … did not lose

“I probably entered the inside before Kang A-ram. Because he has the power to do that.”

The first thing that caught my eye was a huge hole in the ceiling. Amidst the crumbs of stones on the floor, my eyes, which had been looking at the ceiling, slowly descended below them.

“It was you too.”

A child trapped in a floating state inside the barrier of a magic circle surrounded by layers. A girl standing indifferently in front of such a child. Yurim Pyo looks at me.

His face, which seemed serious at first, turned to surprise the moment he met me, and then slowly turned to sadness.

“… … I see you. sorry. If I told you who I was beforehand, I thought it would get in the way of my concentration.”

can get in the way This was not incorrect.

If I had known sooner that the pyoyurim was coming here, I would have been more dizzy with thinking about what to do in case she came here.

“What condition is the child in that barrier?”

Even though Pyo Yu-rim must have a lot to say to me, he answered my questions.

“I was forced to stop. It’s literally just a standstill. If you release this magic circle, it will go into a rampage again.”

Since I wore a mask, should I reveal my true identity? Those worries were completely unfounded. She recognized my true identity at once.

“Free me. I’ll calm you down right away.”

The work didn’t take long.

Halo’s terminal state was obviously more difficult to calm down than the previous children. However, there was a difference in not having to worry about getting hurt in the aftermath of the runaway. It was thanks to Pyo Yu-rim’s help.

“Mom… … .”

The energy of the runaway disappears, and the fourth and final child faints from exhaustion from crying.

[Remaining Spirit: 10%]

[warning! Your mental strength is below 10%.]

[For the safety of the caster, Activation of Nature is paused.]

It was a chilling moment.

If I had tried to calm this child down without the help of a pyoyurim, would I have succeeded safely? I honestly couldn’t tell.

“Thank you for coming to help.”

“What would have happened if I hadn’t come?”

“… … .”

“Have I been unreliable?”

no. it is not so.

… … can I answer

I was concerned that the stray forest would tire quickly. Seeing the reality of the research center, her mind was shaken, and she considered that a major incident would occur.

It was a decision she was worried about.

but.

If I had to answer Pyo Yu-rim’s question right now.

“sorry.”

I had no choice but to apologize.

anyway.

It was true that it was a decision he made because he didn’t trust her.

Pyo Yu-rim blankly looks at me with his mouth slightly open. I had nothing to say, so I couldn’t do anything other than apologize.

She didn’t send me any more questions.

“… … Doyoon Kim Mr. We succeeded in hacking the central control center.”

I heard Seolchaehwa’s radio.

“I see. I’m glad.”

“A strange researcher appeared in the middle and disturbed me, but thanks to Eom Na-yeon, I survived. What is your situation?」

“Everything is settled here too.”

Except for the problems that have just arisen.

“They say the battle at the central control center entrance isn’t over yet. The patrol teams were taking the time better than I thought. If only the search party that entered the interior is finished, it will be all clear.”

“that’s right. I couldn’t speak because I was not in a hurry. Those patrols are now brainwashed by me.”

“Eom Na-yeon told me that it seemed like that. Kang Ah-ram said he found the children Kim Do-yoon hid and is protecting them. On the way, some searchers approached, but they said they handled it safely.”

“good. Tell Aram Kang that you will join them now. I need to meet him first and then head to the central control center.”

While holding the fainting child in my arms, I spoke to Yoo-rim Pyo-rim with strength in my mouth that would not come off.

“let’s go.”

“yes.”

I’m going to take a look at how this situation happened. Pyo Yu-rim seemed to be answering silently, but not interrogating him.

Normally, he would have been frightened and asked why he was so injured and said that he would treat him even if he was forced to, but he didn’t even show that kind of action.

We were just walking side by side.

Swoop.

It was only shown that Pyo Yu-rim was wiping his eyes with his hand.

At first it was once, then two or three times, and then it slowed down and disappeared from my sight.

I could still hear footsteps following me, but I couldn’t muster up the courage to look back.

From nob le mt l. com

Just.

Only the sound of the sleeves brushing against the skin soothed the silence.

Even if you can’t look at it, you have to say something. I thought it was really cowardly to keep my mouth shut because I was scared here.

“Pyoyurim. that… … .”

“Never mind.”

She refused to talk at all.

If so, there was nothing I could do.

That moment.

“That way! break in there… … !”

Kwajik!

A search party suddenly emerged from the corner of the hallway and turned into a piece of meat in an instant.

Kwajijik! Quadruped!

After that, a series of cracking sounds came from inside the corner. It was the end of the guys who couldn’t even hear the final words.

Needless to say who did it.

“… … .”

“… … .”

We walked in silence again.

It was the most painful silence in the world.
