Just as the two of them were able to hide in the closet, Frank's footsteps with several people arrived in the hallway. Soon Jansen and Joseph could hear the sound of someone's body hitting the floor. "Ah, you're so useless!" Frank said with emphasis as he slapped the man beside him on the head. Jansen and Joseph, who were able to peek through the slit line of the closet, grimaced. They were no longer surprised at Frank's treatment of his own bodyguard. What puzzled Jansen and Joseph was the man Frank's bodyguard had pushed to the floor. It felt like they were both familiar with the man, but since their field of vision wasn't very wide, they couldn't recognize him. "Why are so many things not going according to my plan?!" Frank grumbled in exasperation. "Mr. Frank... what are you doing to me? I'm completely innocent!" The man kneeling with his hands tied then said. From his pleading tone, Jansen and Joseph began to recognize the man. They both looked at each other wit
Jansen let out a harsh sigh as he laughed sarcastically after hearing the system's words. In his opinion, it was not something that deserved to be called an answer. "I don't want to see this kind of situation. I don't know why the people in the Parasitic Creature Eradication Organization are acting like trash," Jansen said in exasperation. Jansen then faintly heard the sound of echoing footsteps. The distance of the person walking closer was probably not too far from him, but not too close either. The look on Jansen's face became more and more panicked. He realized that there would be someone walking towards him. Finally, Jansen chose to take off his shoes with a quick movement, then walk sneakily in a hurry. Jansen took the direction of the hallway that would lead to the document library. Several times Jansen looked back to make sure no one was around. When he had arrived some distance away from the echoing sound of steps, and had also arrived in front of the shared bo
By now, Jansen and Richard were hiding in the gap between two tall bookshelves on opposite sides. Richard was in the bookcase gap on Jansen's left side. While in the middle of them, there was a path that was enough for three people to pass through. A few moments ago, Jansen and Richard were in a hurry to find a bookshelf that had a small gap in the room. In this room, there were indeed a number of bookshelves - which were so big - that had a small space. Luckily, Jansen and Richard were near the corner of the room. 'GRRR...' Jansen's breath caught even more at the sound of the growling that was slowly approaching. It was certain that the parasitic monster that came was in a close radius to his position. [DO YOU NEED HELP, JANSEN?] Jansen opened his eyes again and saw the system's holographic screen. His index finger then pressed the 'Other Communication Mode' option until it displayed a selection of options. [HOW DO YOU TALK TO THE SYSTEM?] [TALKING] [CLICK THE BUTTO
"Jansen! What's going on-" "Let's get out of this room, Matthew," Jansen immediately cut Matthew off. Matthew didn't have time to object. Matthew's hand was suddenly pulled by Jansen to step quickly out of the room. Jansen didn't care about Frank's call at all. He just wanted to get away to calm himself down. What happened today was not at all unexpected. "Jansen, tell me. What happened?" Matthew asked when they both arrived in the hallway. Jansen was still trying to calm himself down so he could think clearly. His gaze shifted to Matthew, watching very intensely. "Why did you come, Matthew?" asked Jansen. "There was a monster moaning from inside that room. People from fifty meters away could hear it. Since I knew you were taken to Mr. Frank's room, I was worried something would happen to you and Mr. Frank." For a split second, Jansen didn't move. During that time, he was secretly considering whether or not to ask about the strange half-human monster. "Som
"Go away," the man said. The look on his face was already tense. "I read this room is a book room. Why is it closed to trainees?" Once again Jansen tried to provoke the man. "Ah, you're really baiting me with your rebuttal," the man began to grumble in exasperation. Jansen watched the man before him close his eyes as he took a deep breath. The man's face began to change accentuating the faint green veins. The change that Jansen witnessed made him step back again. Jansen saw that the man's palms were clenched as if holding back emotions. As soon as his eyes opened, the surface of his eyes suddenly turned completely black. The creepy atmosphere provoked Jansen's goosebumps to bristle all over. "I told you, but you didn't listen to me," the man replied in a furious tone. The system screen lit up in front of Jansen's face. At the same time, an echoing system voice appeared. [WARNING! SYSTEM DETECTED DANGER!] [MONSTER VIRUS IS IN YOUR SURROUNDING RADIUS] Jansen smiled wry
"I've felt suspicious of you ever since you came. Ah, this place is filled with half-human monsters," said Jansen who was trying to calm himself down. In just a split second, the man in front of Jansen began to reveal bones in the area around his neck and jaw. The movement of his head snapped as his teeth turned into sinister fangs. The man extended his right hand, which had turned into a tentacle arm. He grabbed Jansen's neck and slammed his back against the wall. Jansen groaned in annoyance as he felt his back tighten. He raised his face again, then grabbed the tentacle arm. "Hand attack," Jansen muttered. [HAND ATTACK SKILL ACTIVATED] [DETECTING ENEMY: HALF-HUMAN PARASITIC MONSTER] Both of Jansen's hands gripped the tentacle arms around his neck. He immediately twisted in different directions. With all his might, he pushed the tentacle arm away from his neck. "Argghh..." Jansen groaned as he expended almost all his strength. Gradually, the tentacle arms lifted Jans
'Activate hearing sharpening mode,' Jansen said silently to the system. Jansen's system then heard a long 'BIPP' sound. A sign of a response to Jansen's call. Then shortly afterward Jansen heard the system's voice reply. [SYSTEM ACCEPTS YOUR REQUEST] [ACTIVATES AUDITORY FREQUENCY WAVE] [INCREASES SOUND SHARPNESS] [LOADING: 100%... 90%... 80%... 70%... 60%...] While Jansen was trying to catch the sound of the monsters' presence using the system's hearing acuity frequency, he faintly heard the echo of tapping footsteps. The sound was accompanied by the sound of gravel or building materials falling and rolling. The sound was so small that it would be impossible to hear using ordinary hearing. [LOADING: 20%... 10%...] As his sharp hearing features improved, Jansen could immediately hear more clearly. It wasn't just one footstep, but there was the vibration of another spider monster's footsteps on the rubble. As the sharp hearing features improved, Jansen co
At that moment, Jansen immediately realized the pain in the back of his head disappeared. Jansen repeatedly hit the back of his own head but there was still no pain. "Oh? How can this pain disappear?" Jansen asked. Jansen didn't really care about this. Feeling very curious, Jansen immediately continued his steps towards the white light. Like sunlight at the end of the tunnel. When his steps arrived at the end of the tunnel, Jansen was surprised to see abandoned buildings. Jansen spontaneously stopped his steps to look around. The atmosphere was deserted, building debris scattered around the tunnel, several charred cars abandoned, and fences and plants that were completely damaged. "What happened?" asked Jansen. "Wait, where am I?" Jansen remembered that there were no abandoned areas like this in New York. Moreover, the buildings were abandoned, mossy, and almost completely filled with debris. So where was Jansen? "The voice I heard just now said 2070. Wait, is that..." Jansen
