Ji-hoon grabs some keys off the floor and also his sword, leaving the factory.
Hmm, what are these keys from?
Ji-hoon presses the open button and hears a sound nearby so he goes to check what the key opened and sees a car.
Hm, that's a good choice for going to Siberia.
Ji-hoon gets into the car.
He puts his sword in the back seat and starts the car's engine.
Ji-hoon looks into the dashboard, many buttons light up, each doing something.
I don't have to press anything, I don't need to mess with this car.
Ji-hoon buckles his car belt and drives off.
I should go to a clothing store, I'm covered in blood, and I'm also going to Siberia.
He drives away and arrives at the mall parking the car.
Okay, now, how pray tell will I be able to get out of the car without scaring people away from me?
Ji-hoon gets out of the car and looks in the trunk of the car.
Nothing, I thought, there's some help here.
Ji-hoon closes the trunk.
Hm, let me go in like this, I don't seem to have any other choice.
Ji-hoon heads to the mall entrance and looks around, the place is pretty empty.
What time is it anyway?
Ji-hoon enters the mall and goes to look for a clothing store.
This mall really is empty, I think it's late. But strange that the mall is still open if it's empty.
Ji-hoon finally finds a clothing store and buys a white hoodie, a thick jacket and some thicker pants.
When he goes to the checkout, he sees a woman staring at her phone and chewing gum.
Disgusting.
Ji-hoon even though he's disgusted speaks politely and eventually purchases the clothing and leaves the store.
"That guy had blood on him? Eh whatever."
The woman sits back down and looks at her phone.
He goes to the bathroom and changes into new clothes.
Good, I can walk in peace now.
Ji-hoon puts his old clothes in his bag and walks out of the mall walking back to his car and gets in his car starting the engine and drives off down the highway.
Siberia will be a cool place but I'll freeze to death if I get -60 degree weather.
"Hey Mr. Tanaka, I wanted to tell you the new things I know about Song Ji-hoon."
"I'm listening"
Hatoru takes a deep breath and exhales.
"Song Ji-hoon was killed by some kind of luminous being, it has visible blue eyes despite the impressively high light of the creature, I can't figure out what it is but it clearly doesn't look good at all the situation"
Mr. Tanaka looks curiously at Hatoru.
"Hm, strange, any other information you have?"
The narrative has been taken without permission. Report any sightings.
"Yes, I was in the computer room and checked Song Ji-hoon's information and saw that his blood type is AABO, non-existent blood type but yet he has it"
Mr. Tanaka is thinking.
"AABO? Are you sure it wasn't a glitch in the system?"
Mr. Tanaka tries to come up with a good answer but doesn't know what else to say.
"I don't know what to say, there's a possibility of it being an error as the system was corrupted almost immediately after I checked its information but it's strange"
Mr. Tanaka feels a shiver down his spine.
"Was the system corrupted immediately afterwards?"
"Yes, but Mr. Kato solved the problem, it was super serious as a terrible pain hit all of us in the organization but with his help and knowledge we were able to get rid of the pain and the system was fixed"
Mr. Tanaka feels a slight relief on his spine.
Yet he is still scared of the consequences of the organisation.
"A virus has corrupted the system, it means someone outside the organization knows what we're doing."
"But can't it really be someone inside our organization?"
Ren scratches his head in thought.
"We can't rule out that possibility but I don't know, no one knows of Song Ji-hoon's existence except us"
"I say you guys investigate more about Song Ji-hoon and also who might have placed a virus in the computer"
"Alright Mr. Tanaka, we'll do our best, thanks for letting us talk to you"
"I thank you for visiting me, good luck finding an answer guys!"
Mr. Tanaka closes his eyes and goes to sleep.
Hatoru and Ren leave the room and close the door behind them.
"So where do we start the investigation?"
Ren puts his hands in his pockets.
"Well I'll check the computer for information on Song Ji-hoon and you investigate who might have virused the computer."
"Okay."
Hatoru walks to the elevator and Ren stays behind.
Hatoru presses the button for the 5th floor and the doors close.
How strong can Song Ji-hoon be? It's extremely strange to get to class 3 so quickly, but I'll see in a moment when he became a member of the organization.
Ding.
Hatoru exits the elevator and goes to room 256.
Going inside he looks at the computer which is fully functional so he sits down on the chair and looks for Song Ji-hoon's folder again.
' Song Ji-hoon folder '
Good.
Hatoru clicks on the folder and looks over Ji-hoon's information.
What the hell?
Name: Song Ji-hoon
ID Number: 6654
Abilities: Unknown.
Blood type: AABO
Allergies: None
Physical Condition: Perfect
Rank: Class 3
Previous missions: Killing an elite class (Success)
Tech Rank: 6
He killed an elite class person? How is that possible?
But let's see when he became part of the organization.
Hatoru looks at more of Ji-hoon's details.
Date of joining the organization: 03/12/2300
Hatoru looks at the current date.
10/14/2300
So that mean he killled an elite class so quickly? What kind of monster is Ji-hoon?
What secrets is this kid hiding? He has unknown abilities and I'm super curious to know what abilities he has that he managed to kill an elite class.
Hatoru stands up from his chair in bewilderment.
My head hurts at how stupid this case is.
[Announcement]
' Song Ji-hoon's next mission is in Siberia '
' He's on the highway going to Siberia '
' Time left to Siberia: 25 hours '
Siberia? Why is he going to Siberia?
Hatoru leaves the room to tell Ren so he runs to the elevator back up to the 7th floor but Ren isn't there.
Where the hell is Ren?
The sound of the elevator fills the quiet hallway.
Out of the elevator comes Ren with a tablet in his hand.
Hatoru runs towards Ren.
"Hey!"
Ren freaks out and almost drops the tablet from his hand.
"What is it Hatoru?"
"You won't believe it but Song Ji-hoon managed to kill an elite class"
Ren looks at Hatoru strangely.
"What do you mean?"
"I was looking at his information and saw that he killed an elite class"
"Wait a minute, are you telling me that even back then those terms were used to name those with powers? I mean that doesn't make sense either"
"A good question, apparently that's what they called it back then too, anyway, what did you find out?"
Ren hands the tablet to Hatoru.
"I've made a short list at the moment, only 2 people so far on the list but you can analyze it yourself"
' Mr. Kato '
' Mr. Kijyo '
"Why them?"
"They are suspects, mainly Mr. Kato as he is a technician"
Hatoru looks at the list again.
"But why Mr. Kijyo? What does he have to do with the virus situation?"
"Well, Mr. Kijyo is a good friend of Mr. Kato's, we always see them around here discussing all sorts of things, so that makes him a suspect in the case too."
Ren thinks.
"Hey Hatoru, do you think we could check the history of the people who entered that room? I mean surely we can do that."
Hatoru ponders.
"Yes, we can but I have no idea where we can get that information from"
"Well let's check the surveillance cameras first, if those didn't record anything, we can try to find other solutions"
"Alright then Ren, let's see, but the other computer is on the 10th floor room 290 from what I remember, so let's see"
They enter the elevator and choose the 10th floor.
Once on the 10th floor they enter room 290, which is fortunately the correct room for the surveillance computer.
"Let's see."
Hatoru gets on the computer and looks for surveillance camera number 1200.
They're looking for all the footage from surveillance camera number 1200.
"Bingo"
All the footage from that surveillance camera appears on the monitor screens.
All the footage has fleas on the screen and nothing can be seen or heard.
"What the hell?"
Both Ren and Hatoru say as they don't understand what's going on.
"Looks like it's not going to be as easy as I thought."
"There's a serious problem because of that virus I think"
Ren takes the mouse and keyboard and writes down the surveillance camera number 1000 and selects all the footage from that week.
"These don't work either, maybe that virus was set to not destroy but ruin the footage"
"I really don't know, maybe we can check the fingerprints on door 256"
"Good idea."
Ren is looking for the fingerprint information that accessed door 256.
' Information deleted by Unknown '
"Information deleted? Wow that virus was really set up well to destroy"
"Then what are we going to do?"
Ren thinks but to no avail.
"I really don't know how we would be able to verify the information if it has been deleted, we'd better try to work it out without the help of technology even if it's hard"
Complete darkness.
"Hey, wake up Soo-min!"
Soo-min opens her eyes and sees a doctor.
Soo-min panics and tries to get out of bed but feels like she's trapped by a machine so she calms down to stay out of trouble.
"Where am I?"
"You were rescued by the search and rescue team both you and those left alive from the mission to explore what the world is currently like outside the organization"
Soo-min sits silently with a terrified facial expression.
"You're safe now, you don't have to worry anymore."
Tears stream down Soo-min's cheeks.
I can't... I can't believe I survived.
The other two find themselves distraught that they don't know where they are.
The doctor approaches them smiling calmly.
"Oh, I'm glad you woke up, in case you don't know where you are, you're in the organization's infirmary"
Taemin and Min-ji smile forcedly not knowing what else to do.
"Thank you for saving us."
"You have nothing to thank me for, the rescue team made sure you were okay as that's their job"
The doctor gets on his computer.
"Right now you need to recover, you'll be here for about 2 days so you can relax from your mission"
A long way to Siberia, I wonder what will be waiting for me there.
Ji-hoon presses the accelerator, speeding down the highway.
[Announcement]
' In 1960 km you'll reach Siberia '
' I hope you have your warm clothes ready '
Ji-hoon laughs.
I'll soon find out what will happen in Siberia, I have a feeling it will be fun.
