I'm not a hero, but I didn't say I couldn't beat you.

Where light does not shine, fear always breeds in darkness.

In this secret base that seems to be isolated from the world, they are exploring the secrets of miracles and disasters.

Although here, like all standardized research bases, there are bright lights, clean air, and strict disinfection procedures.

However, he still couldn't hide his evil aura.

"Boom-thump-"

The heart is beating.

more than one.

"Record: No. W7361, 318 experiments."

Under the mask, the man stared at the experimental subject with cold eyes, and spoke slowly and calmly.

"Inject 231.7g of solid disaster and 103.65g of liquid miracle, and then follow the standardized activation process three times and try to resonate——"

"Yes."

"The injection of solidified disaster is complete."

"The injection of liquid miracle is complete."

The condensed [Miracle] and [Disaster] that were artificially restrained and acquired material characteristics were injected into the body of the near-experiment.

Originally, a collision with this measured concentration was enough to cause a disaster event of level A or above.

But now, it is just an ignition device used as a step to "wake up" the experimental subject.

“Ideology detected, standardized activation process initiated.

"once--"

"twice--"

"three times--"

"Activation failed. We cannot continue to ensure that the target is materialized. Emergency anchoring procedures have begun."

"Received, recorded in the file."

"Yes."

Failed again.

[The man hammered the table in anger, but unfortunately, no matter how hard he, an ordinary person, tried, the alloy table would only respond to him with a cold attitude. 】

[He turned around and glared at the uninvited visitor with a frown. 】

"Are you done with your tricks? Are you here just to see my jokes?"

"He said: [Have you finished your tricks? Are you here just to see my jokes?] Of course not, my dear friend, am I the kind of guy who comes here uninvited just to see jokes?"

In the faintness, a voice full of teasing and joy said so.

It's not possible to tell the difference between men and women, or it seems like there are multiple people narrating the same paragraph at the same time.

"Aren't you, Professor?"

The man looked at the other party coldly and said displeasedly.

"As the king of fun in the border area who loves to have fun, you are even willing to go to hell just to have fun. Are you the kind of person who would not laugh at a joke?"

"You have wronged me, my friend."

The professor said with a smile.

"I just feel that this world is too boring, and I want to bring about a little change. Or do you want to morally condemn me for the fact that I created hell? Doctor [Truth]?"

"Stop telling those meaningless jokes, Professor!"

Doctor [Truth] shook his head, seeming to have finally suppressed the violent emotions in his heart.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, I have to remind you that suppressing your emotions too much is not a good thing."

"Unfortunately, emotional fluctuations will only make me lose inspiration during the experiment. I am different from a guy like you who lets himself go."

Doctor [Truth] took out a potion and plunged it into his neck without hesitation. After a moment, when the other person opened his eyes again, his eyes were filled with absolute calm.

"Tell me, what is your purpose? If you want to have fun, feel free to do it, but don't disturb my experiment."

"How can I watch your fun? We are partners with a common goal."

"Partners? Haven't your last batch of partners become our current experimental materials? Or do you want to tell me that you didn't do anything against those guys in [World Soul]?"

The doctor said with a blank face.

“Isn’t it a good thing that I got the results I wanted and they got their wishes?”

"Ah!"

Ignoring the meaningless conversation, the doctor started to think again, observing the data and thinking about the experiment just now.

"Forget it, I won't tease you anymore."

Seeing the other party's appearance, the professor decisively gave up the idea of ​​continuing to harass him and said.

"I'm here to provide you with information."

"Intelligence? What intelligence?"

The doctor said without raising his head.

"Are you going to tell me that the Federation is investigating those abandoned laboratories all over the world? Or are you going to tell me how many heroes have entered emergency combat orders?"

Suddenly, the doctor seemed to remember something and stopped calculating the data with his pen.

"Or maybe the Administration has already found this place?"

"No, don't worry, what I brought this time is good news."

"Oh, you can also bring good news?"

"Oh, it seems my partner has a little misunderstanding about me."

"No, I just have sufficient knowledge of your existence."

The doctor turned his head and looked at the other person.

"So, what's the news?"

"Well, do you remember the clones mentioned in the experimental report left by [World Soul]?"

"Clone?"

The doctor frowned.

"Are you talking about the batch of clones that were cloned based on the genes of the [Savior] and tried to reproduce the existence of that hero?"

"Yes."

"Didn't that plan completely fail? All the clones did not survive the step of miraculous awakening, and all fell into a state of brain death."

"Yes, but there seems to be an unexpected change."

"Unexpected variables?"

The doctor's frown deepened.

"I don't like surprises, and I don't like variables."

"It doesn't matter, this time it's a variable that works in our favor."

The professor put down the crutch in his hand, raised his right hand with a white cloth glove, and stretched out a finger.

"There is a clone who has reawakened and regained his individual consciousness."

"Oh, interesting. Should I say he is lucky or unlucky? But what does this have to do with us?"

"Of course, my friend, you are still so anxious, please listen to me first."

The professor smiled and said slowly.

"He awakened [Miracle]."

In the shadows, his eyes flashed with excitement.

"As a [Hero], I awakened the miracle——"

"?????"

At the same time as he received the information, [Dr. Truth]'s brain began to work rapidly, using the knowledge he had recorded.

What does this news mean, what does this news bring, and—

This news adds more value to his experiments.

Soon, he came to a conclusion.

He needed this clone.

"Where is he?"

"In the hands of the Federation."

"……………………"

There was a moment of silence, as if he was considering the true purpose of the "professor" in front of him.

"I see--"

"What are you going to do?"

"I need him."

The doctor pressed a communication button on the computer and said lightly.

"This is enough."

He's going to get "him."

At any cost——
