Chapter 255

# 255

255. Requiem (1)

After breaking through the 60th floor, Amkena began a major facility expansion.

First, with the accumulated resources, the number of floors in the waiting room was increased by one. He also ordered the level up of the entire facility, from the equipment workshop and warehouse training center to the magic lab.

‘It will take some time, but.’

It’s not like it used to be, it’s just a matter of pressing a button.

When the facility level reached a certain level, it required a lot of materials, craftsmen, and a long construction time to upgrade.

Therefore, in the aftermath, for a while, the waiting room was filled with noise reminiscent of a construction site, and the heroes had personal maintenance time until the construction was completed.

During the day, I toured the lower floors to raise my level, and in the evening, I devoted myself to sparring with Halgion.

He decided to spend his time training until Yurnet’s investigation was over.

‘There is something... on the upper floors.’

Breaking through the 60th floor, that thought became stronger.

If it’s simply a strong enemy like the prince or the debris series, you can deal with it. However, there was a possibility that variables I did not expect would occur, and if things go wrong, then there is no turning back.

Every night, I read the book of Yeokcheon.

A picture book depicting El Cid’s past. Even so, the content did not change and it was a repetition of the story I knew.

This daily life continued until the day Yurnet’s background investigation was completed.

[Excuse me, Master.]

My room in the 1st party hostel built on the 4th floor of the waiting room one evening.

The hazy mist gathered and weaved a human figure. I turned the swivel chair I was sitting on and looked at the shadow. From the shadows, the phantom of Yurnet slowly walked out.

‘Looks like the investigation is over.’

it took about a month

Since the investigation was ordered right after El Cid died, it took longer than expected.

“You didn’t come to say hello, did you?”

I said as I drank my teacup.

For regular contact, communication is sufficient.

There is only one reason to show yourself like this.

[Of course not. The investigation into El Cid is over and I’m here to give you an official report.]

“Good job. You’ve had a lot of trouble.”

I nodded.

[I think I should ask for forgiveness from the master first.]

Yurnet approached me and bowed her head without a moment to say anything.

[Sorry.]

“What do you mean? Sorry.”

[The result of the investigation is... a failure.]

Yurnet said with her back bent.

I closed my mouth.

‘Failure.’

I couldn’t imagine.

[I apologize for failing to obey the Master’s orders. If you give me another chance...]

“No, it’s okay. Raise your head. If it doesn’t work, it shouldn’t work. You’re not omnipotent either.”

[Master’s instructions...]

“Let’s stop. I’m dying of burden, hey.”

Yurnet slowly raised her head.

Her expression was unchanged, but I could read Yurnet’s emotions in her eyes.

‘I can’t say anything.’

It was I who unilaterally asked Yunet.

Using a group because the result is not good is an ugly thing.

“Rather than that, if the investigation didn’t work, I’d like to hear the reason.”

[yes. I will explain.]

Yurnet opened her mouth.

I listened to her from beginning to end.

First, Yunet’s basic information collection route was to access Mobius’ database through a virtual ID.

Yunet created a virtual account by hacking into the system network of a game company, and granted the ID with executive authority to obtain information by looking into the internal data of Pick Me Up.

But this time...

“You couldn’t log in with your account?”

[Alpha or higher permission is required to view data related to the ending of Pick Me Up. There was no problem with my ID. If you are in the alpha stage, you are at the top of Mobius’ ranks. It is impossible to read except for the two CEOs and a few key executives.]

I squinted my eyes.

What I asked Yunet was simple.

To find out about Dorado’s ending.

‘It must be there.’

The reason why El Cid tried to go to server 1 while risking a war with the whole of Mobius.

‘I can make predictions.’

I just couldn’t be sure.

But this result comes out.

[I tried to break through the security system, but it was too thorough.]

“Really?”

[It might be possible if you take the time. However, we have to take the risk of exposing our identity.]

I answered with a click of my tongue.

Judging from the content of the game, he wouldn’t be very normal either.

[Awesome Loki! It could be!]

Isel shook the invitation with flushed cheeks.

[Secretary in charge and office leasing foreign car! Dedicated helicopter! 7-star chef! Gorgeous mansion and villa! Oh my God! I finally have a sunny day... Ughyaaaaagh!]

I pulled Isel’s cheek

. It’s not good for the head.”

[Haaji! The fact that the director appeared in person means scouting...] “If you were like me, would

you join a company that makes manga like this?”

I promised, but that proposal was rejected by this

side

. It’s an invitation from me.”

[Wow! Take me too! Take me!]

Issel started to struggle while lying face down on the desk.

[Me too! Get better!]

“...I didn’t say go.”

[ You can go, just go! An opportunity like this won’t come again!]

How amazing is this guy?

At first, I thought

it was trash and threw it away.

But nothing to worry about will happen.

Because I still have some use value. Otherwise

, there would be no need for Tell to invade my 2-star promotion ceremony.

‘If you want to know the ending of Pick Me Up...’ According to Issel’s explanation

,

the guy who sent this invitation is the highest rank among alphas, Zero rank

.

I don’t know what might happen. Just saying

the trap is unlikely, not dangerous.

I clenched my chin.

I needed some time to think.

[Let’s go huh? Loki!]

Issel looked at me with bright eyes.

“...”

I looked up and saw

El

Cid’s wolf-hair cloak hanging on the wall above the desk. I

brought it as a trophy after he died.

‘I... ..’

I want to know.

The reason he wanted to go to Server 1.

The reason he gave his life to me.

‘Curiosity.’

If it were me in the past, I would have ridiculed it for a long time and then threw away the invitation,

wondering if it was necessary to step into a dangerous place.

But... I mean, I’m dying of curiosity.

I took a deep sigh and looked at the back of the invitation.

Contact information was written at the bottom of the back.

[1004 – 5858 – 8282]

Are you kidding me?

I clicked my tongue.

“Isel.”

[Huh?]

“How do I contact you?”

Issel came up to me and looked at the number.

[This is an extension of the company

.

[Ah, okay! I’ll get the receiver right away!]

Isel nodded frantically and disappeared.

I put my back on the chair cushion.

‘I don’t know if I’m good at it.’

If Yunet finds out, he’ll probably try to stop it.

Entering enemy camps without understanding the enemy’s intentions is no different from committing suicide.

“It’s okay.”

I took out the wolf fur cloak from the hanger.

The dark blue cloak was lined with cloth and leather, and was covered with white fur near the neck of the cloak.

‘It’s not good for me to wear.’

it doesn’t fit

I smiled and returned the cloak to its original position.
