The magic binding the test subjects was lifted.

!

The test subjects, varied by race, let out grotesque screams as they raised their torsos from the experiment tables.

As they looked around with murky pupils,

What on earth are you doing, Theo Lyn Waldeurk!

Thomas shouted.

He repeatedly yelled at Theo, who did not respond at all.

Do you even realize what youve done!

Im not quite sure.

Youve awakened beings that should have disappeared into the abyss for the advancement of humanity! Beings who refuse to acknowledge their own grand sacrifices!

Theo, scanning the test subjects that had risen from the tables, said,

Im not quite sure. We should listen to what they have to say.

The test subjects, noticing Thomas, stood up.

They walked towards Thomas.

Gone were their murky pupils, replaced with eyes full of rage.

This, this is madness!

Thomass eyes bulged as he stumbled backward.

The test subjects, with parts severed and holes punctured, blood streaming, walked towards Thomas.

Orcs and lizardmen took the lead.

To open the door of the laboratory, one must enter the password just as when entering.

Thomas was tied up, unable to use his hands.

Back against the laboratory door, he shouted to Theo.Visitt novelbin(.)co/m for the latest updates

Pl, please help me, Theo Lyn Waldeurk! These are no different from living corpses! A few swings of your sword and it would be over!

Theo, arms full with Woo Hyoyeon, replied.

As you can see, Im a bit tied up. Thomas, this seems like a good opportunity to test just how far your luck goes.

What, what kind of bullshit Guh, guck!

Suddenly, the test subjects began to lynch Thomas en masse.

Thud.

Thwack.

Crunch.

Soft impact sounds echoed throughout the laboratory. The test subjects' attacks were not strong.

A typical orc could tear apart a human male's head and body with bare hands, but these test subjects were emaciated and severely injured.

As Thomas said, the test subjects were no different from living corpses.

Each time they attacked, blood gushed from them.

!

Nevertheless, the test subjects did not care and continued to beat Thomas mercilessly.

With each hit, they sustained more damage themselves but did not stop.

Trapped in the laboratory, their hatred did not diminish. It flared even more.

Guh, guck. Kyah Kyaaak-!

Thomass groans grew louder.

Beaten by the test subjects' feeble hands, he ended up battered and collapsed in a corner.

The test subjects, seemingly out of strength to hit any further, just silently looked down at Thomas.

With his face swollen, Thomas looked up at the test subjects and said,

Thats, thats enough, right? Let me go now. I wont forget your sacrifices.

The test subjects sat on the floor, lacking the strength to stand any longer, their bodies appearing as if they were collapsing.

Thomas's expression noticeably brightened.

"Yes, yes! Just like Theo Lyn Waldeurk over there, I keep my word too! Your sacrifices for the advancement of humanity will never be forgotte-"

Thomas's words were abruptly cut off.

This was because the orc test subject at the forefront had bitten into Thomas's neck.

Taylor had become friendly with the researchers in the meantime, exchanging various stories with them.

Taylor responded,

"Hahaha. When we leave is up to you, Theo. You're the leader after all. Did everything go well with your task?"

"The aftertaste is a bit bitter, but the objective was achieved. I'd like to forget what happened there."

Taylor, quick to catch on, did not ask about Thomas's whereabouts.

"You must feel even more so after all everything today. Eat well, rest well, and you'll soon forget about it. However, I do have a favor to ask of you, Theo."

"What is it?"

Taylor gestured towards the researchers and said,

"Could you leave these people to me? There could be quite interesting things to..."

"Go ahead."

Theo agreed even before Taylor finished his sentence.

'If they were to go outside as they are now, they would likely end up with the order.'

The Order of Light is thoroughly rotten from the inside.

That was the case in the game, and according to Isabella's words as well.

These are exceptional researchers.

Considering what they've created so far, the higher-ups in the order would surely have other intentions.

'They'll be busy filling their own pockets.'

Of course, it would be a different story if they were of help to him, but that likelihood is slim.

And for someone like him, with many things to juggle, taking control would be challenging.

Leaving them to Taylor was the best option.

Taylor said,

"Hahaha. I knew you were straightforward, Theo, but I didn't expect this extent. Alright. I'll proceed with research that could be of help to you."

"Understood. Excuse me for a moment."

"Yes, take your time."

Taylor resumed his conversation with the researchers.

Theo turned towards Jang Woohee.

Jang Woohee, who had been silently looking down at Woo Hyoyeon, lifted her head.

"I have something to say."

"Go ahead."

"It's a bit... Let's go over there."

Jang Woohee stood up and walked to a secluded, dimly lit place.

Theo followed her.

Upon arriving at the secluded location, Theo asked,

"What's the matter?"

Jang Woohee pressed her lips tightly together.

After a moment, with her eyes reddening, she said,

"Thank you, really. I just wanted to say that."

Theo responded calmly,

"Alright. Let's go back now."

"?"

Jang Woohee looked at Theo puzzledly, but he had already turned his back.

'Is... is that it?'

His demeanor was excessively matter-of-fact.

She had been prepared to grant any request of hers, but instead, she felt deflated.

A curiosity that had been lingering in her mind suddenly surfaced.

Jang Woohee spoke to Theo's back,

"I've been curious about something for a while, may I ask?"
