Chapter 108. Mt. Baekdu Mission (4)

death.

Dante felt death for the first time in his life.

‘ah… … . Is this how it feels to die?’

Its appearance was no different from the magpie type 4. It was very ordinary. But why do I feel the dragon’s energy from him?

‘mistaken? or not… … Could it be the incarnation of a dragon?’

It’s just a vague guess. But one thing I could be sure of.

That he is not an opponent that can be confronted with force.

Then there was only one way left.

‘Let’s try it.’

Dante drew the dragon characters he had learned so far in the air.

There are only two characters that know the meaning.

human and toxic.

However, it was impossible to just watch it in silence.

‘please. back off like back then please… … .’

With a sense of desperation, Dante drew out a dragon that he did not know what it meant. Dozens of letters made of mana spread out in the air.

‘No response at all. sh*t.’

Time still passed slowly.

One by one, colleagues lost their focus.

The magic bullet shot by Gudanji penetrated Alicia’s shoulder.

Alicia collapsed. Her hair, tangled in blood, was scattered on the floor.

Fabio screamed and ran to Alicia.

Alicia fired a magic bullet straight into Fabio’s heart.

Fresh blood gushed out of the hole in Fabio’s chest.

‘no. stop!’

Dante couldn’t move.

I just stood there and watched the situation.

‘I can’t move my body. my body… … .’

An intense fear engulfed my brain.

That we were going to fight against something like this?

Besides, the opponent isn’t even a real dragon. It was just a magpie-type monster with an aura similar to that of a dragon.

Still, there’s nothing you can do about it.

‘It’s over now. Humans… … can’t beat the dragon never.’

Dante cried out in anguish.

“Why are you doing this! What did we do so wrong!”

But it just opened its mouth like a goldfish. The voice didn’t come out of my mouth. as if you were dreaming

‘Is it a dream? I hope it’s a real dream.’

A warm liquid, not sure if it was tears or blood, flowed down both cheeks.

‘All I can do is… … Is there really nothing?’

At that time, I felt a strong mana from the front.

Dante’s hazy pupils followed Mana.

At the end of it stood Curiel with long green hair.

Curiel’s clear eyes turned to Dante.

She sees Dante,

smiled faintly.

‘Ooh, are you laughing? Did you laugh?’

Dante lost his mind.

inside a small airship.

After receiving an urgent request for assistance, 10 Stella faculty members headed to the site.

They checked the video sent from the site by dozens of drones in real time.

“What the hell is this?”

“That’s what I mean. Will the kids be okay?”

The communication, which had been cut off for a while, was restored along with the ‘supportive’ noise.

“wait a minute. I am connected to Curiel Daryl!”

It was Curiel who sent the request to headquarters.

Professor Ji-Ah Han started to correspond as a representative.

“Ahh. This is the support headquarters. Curiel Daryl. Can you hear me?”

[ yes! When will you arrive? ]

“Two minutes to arrive on site. A briefing on the current situation is required.”

[The kids suddenly lost their minds. It doesn’t seem dead. As you can see in the video, I’m a bit busy right now, right? Please come quickly! ]

“okay. Cheer up! Cheer up! Fighting!”

Some professors laughed at Jia Han, who naturally shouted Fighting.

“Professor Han, aren’t you worried?”

“Who even died? All of the children’s vital signs are captured. Our professors have lost a lot of sense. Since when did we worry about this?”

Professor Ramil Kvyat refuted Han Jia’s words as if he was full of energy.

“Huh. As soon as we received the call for emergency assistance, who was the first person to run out in contemplation?”

“I was the first to jump out, but I didn’t think about it. I am Jia Han.”

“Yes yes. You must be. It’s good that Professor Han is always the same. On the bad side.”

“When a person suddenly changes, it is time to die. I want to live a long, long life.”

Beep beep beep beep.

The monster appearance alarm went off.

The professor turned his gaze back to the monitor.

“48 magpies of type 4 are approaching the site.”

“Will Curiel be okay alone?”

“About type 4, well. With that kid’s skills, he’ll be enough alone.”

immediately after the crew members collapsed. A group of monsters who smelled the smell of death rushed into the clearing, and Curiel was fighting a lonely fight.

“What could be the reason? You suddenly lost your mind.”

“You’ll know when you see it. Let’s get the kids out first.”

The faculty who arrived at the scene quickly rectified the situation.

The scene was frantically intertwined with dozens of monster corpses and fallen students.

Curiel boarded the airship with an exhausted expression.

Jia Han handed Curiel a cup of warm tea and patted him on the back.

“Drink and rest. Let’s go back and talk about the details.”

“yes.”

“Curiel Daryl.”

“yes?”

“Good job.”

The 6th support base near Mt.

As a military base prepared deep underground, it had all the necessary facilities for operations.

The students were immediately moved to the ward.

Medical staff waiting in advance checked the health of the students.

The attending physician explained the students’ condition to the faculty.

“There are no major problems other than minor injuries. You will probably wake up soon.”

The forensic team has reported that they found a new type of sleeping plant mixed with hallucinogenic ingredients around the clearing.

the attending physician continued.

“We need to investigate further to find out, but there is a high possibility that sleep weed is the cause. The brain waves are also very similar to the state of sleep second intoxication.”

“hmm… … . I’m glad you didn’t have any problems.”

Jia Han had many thoughts.

‘That area is where we explored ourselves the day before. At that time, there was no trace of sleeping weed.’

in just one day.

Even in that barren land.

Sleep weeds suddenly grew? A powerful new breed of sleeping weed that made gas masks useless?

‘If it’s that toxic, Dante might have noticed it. What the hell happened?’

It takes about 2-3 days to wake up from poisoning.

Jia Han summoned Curiel to the interview room first.

“From now on, our conversations will be recorded.”

“yes.”

“It’s not an interrogation, so don’t be too nervous.”

“hehehe, yes. I’m not nervous!”

“Tell me.”

“I was going to rest for a while and move, but suddenly a gust of wind blew up. The kids suddenly looked up at the sky. hmm… … . right. At that time, the steam suddenly dissipated, and I could see the surroundings clearly.

Did 2 or 3 seconds pass? All the kids fell down. So I immediately put in a support request.”

Jia Han nodded slowly as she listened to Curiel’s story.

Curiel’s testimony matched the footage taken by the drone.

“Apart from that, what is special about it? I felt mana.”

“hmm… … . I think it smelled like grass all of a sudden. I was confused too, so I can’t remember the details. A group of monsters rushed in. I think I only had the thought of protecting my friends.”

It was fortunate that the only person left was Curiel.

‘If only a guy like D.O had been left alone… … The fallen kids might have had their hearts eaten out of their minds.’

When the thought reached that far, goose bumps ran through my body.

Jia Han lightly encouraged Curiel and sent him out of the interview room.

24 hours after the incident.

Seven of the 14 recovered and completed individual interviews.

Except for Curiel, the rest of the students said something similar. There were slight differences in details, but most of the bold statements were consistent.

This, too, was the tricky part.

‘Everyone saw the same vision… … .’

It was difficult to understand, at least from Jia Han’s common sense.

smart.

Jia Han entered Alicia’s hospital room.

Alicia was already taking a break after having an individual meeting with Professor Ramil.

Alicia stood up with a ‘tong’ like a spring and saluted in moderation.

“You are here! Loyalty!”

Jia Han smiled lightly at her bright appearance.

“Chit. looks worth living How are you feeling?”

“I’m so talkative, what. What about the other kids?”

Jia Han answered while sitting on a simple chair next to the hospital bed.

From noble mtl dot com

“You already heard. No one was hurt.”

“no way… … . You know it doesn’t mean that. You are asking about your mental health, not your body.”

In fact, several students showed signs of extreme anxiety and complained of mental distress. They were sent to Superman Central Hospital in Central Agras. I was watching the symptoms with separate intensive care.

Jia Han kept quiet.

“Is that mental pain from seeing some visions? Did we raise you to be so weak?”

“hmm… … . Professor, have you had nightmares?”

“Once upon a time.”

I can’t fall asleep easily without sleeping capsules. Most incumbents are like that. Because of a terrible nightmare.

Alicia continued.

“Why, when you wake up after having a nightmare, your heart races and you feel bad. It felt just like that when I came to my senses.”

“so. What do you want to talk about?”

“That’s it. The feeling was so vivid. Have you ever swung a fist in a dream? Like fanning someone to death.”

swish swish!

Alicia threw a quick jab into the air.

Jia Han watched her without a word.

“In my dream, even if I swing my fist, I don’t feel the impact. It’s like my body isn’t mine. Is it just me?”

“no. You’re right.”

“But at the time, it felt like real life. It felt like all five senses were alive. It still feels vivid. Please be honest. Are you hiding something from us?!”

Jia Han answered while trying to hide her embarrassment.

“at all.”

“lie.”

“?”

“A further upgraded MR simulation. That’s right. Did you use us as test subjects?”

Alicia wasn’t the only one thinking this.

Alicia’s remark made Han Ji-ah feel like her heart sank.

‘It’s MR… … I don’t know how to accept this.’

The latest MR technology touches the human sensory realm. As technology evolved, real-life simulation became possible, but the boundary between reality and virtuality became blurred.

like right now

Among the students, there was an atmosphere that firmly believed that this incident was a simulation. No, it seemed to want to believe.

Jia Han came out of the hospital room and entered the situation room where the professors were gathered. She summarized the situation by synthesizing the statements of the students.

“If you look at the symptoms alone, they are more like mental control symptoms than hallucinations. Illusion is literally no different from dreaming. However, the students felt all the senses intact at the time. They are mistaking it for a simulation.”

Several professors added comments.

“It may be advanced illusion magic that has never been discovered before.”

“But magic definitely needs a subject. Let’s watch the CCTV again.”

The professors’ eyes turned to the monitor.

Videos taken by 20 drones on the site at the time were played one after another.

“16:47:17. As the children testified, the steam dissipated and a gust of wind blew up. And all eyes are directed into the air.”

The ‘magpie type monsters that do not feel mana’ that the students saw were not captured on the screen.

“Honestly, I am horrified. Look at the kids faces. The key is that everyone is looking at the same place. Everyone is terrified. Nothing.”

16:47:20.

Fourteen students, excluding Curiel Daryl, collapsed at the same time.

16:47:31.

Curiel Daryl sent an urgent request for assistance. Afterwards, Curiel directly confirmed whether the fallen comrades were dead or not.

16:48:35.

About 50 magpie monsters attacked the clearing. Curiel calmly caught the monster and protected his comrades.

16:50:37.

Faculty including Jia Han arrived at the scene.

“Everyone sees the same illusion… … . Have you ever heard of such a thing?”

When hallucinogenic monsters appear, they are classified as S-class planets. Experience in carrying out S-class missions was one of the requirements for Professor Stella’s application.

So, most of the professors had experience with sleeping weed poisoning and facing hallucinogenic monsters.

The professors shook their heads.

Professor Bibiano, who was quietly sipping coffee on one side, opened his mouth.

“There is only one thing that comes to mind right now.”

“What is it?”

Everyone’s eyes turned to Professor Bibiano.

“My friend put it this way. Dragon infusion.”
