Steel-Eating Player Chapter 154

Episode 154 [ Cleaning – 3 ]

——————

Immediately after, Commander Jeong Sang-sik took something out of his personal safe.

“Big—this is a portal creation device to the panic room in Yeonhui-dong…”

It was something that looked like a car key. He held it and once again made a bewildered expression. I knew that everything would end from the moment I passed this.

“Commander, I guess you still haven’t made up your mind?”

“Oh no! This only opens by recognizing my own mana pattern…”

When Lee Hyun-wook asked, Jeong Sang-sik cleared his throat and breathed mana into it.

– Beep—

A beam of blue light came out from there and illuminated the wall, and a portal was created there.

Ungh——

“Is this the den that those rats used to love? They will all be exterminated today.”

It was Lee Kyo-jun, not Lee Hyun-wook, who said that. Immediately after receiving Lee Hyun-wook’s call, he mobilized all of his team and deployed them throughout Seoul. Now, if he could control the panic room, he planned to immediately and urgently arrest the ‘members’ who had been in and out of there. .

“The more I think about it, the more amazing it is. I knew these guys were having a secret affair, but I never thought they were plotting something crazy like this. I want to kill them all today…”

As Lee Gyo-jun was Woo Seong-moon’s closest associate, he was quite indignant at their plot.

They were not unaware of the movements of a secret private organization called ‘Ryeomyeonghoe’.

However, in recent years, numerous incidents have occurred, leading to internal operations. He was unable to take a preemptive response because he did not have the power to expand and could not find conclusive evidence.

But this time, Lee Hyun-wook was busier than anyone else, so he brought the evidence.

Lee Kyo-jun once again realized how great an ally named Lee Hyun-wook was.

” Team Leader Lee, I will go in first and check the internal situation. “If you go in blindly and the other side notices and reacts, it will be a pain in the ass.”

And before entering the portal, Lee Hyun-wook placed a metal necklace around Jeong Sang-sik’s neck.

“You know what that is without me telling you, right? Just be careful about your every move.”

Jeong Sang-sik nodded stiffly, feeling the cold texture of the metal.

“Okay, let’s go in first. “I will follow right away.”

Jeong Sang-sik entered the portal, and Lee Hyun-wook followed right behind him.

Ugh——

The entrance to the panic room that unfolded before my eyes was much larger than I expected.

‘It’s decorated like some kind of hotel, right?’

The interior was much more luxurious than most high-end hotel lobbies, with statues lined up on both sides, and even a chandelier hanging from the high ceiling.

“Tsk—you’ve been engaging in quite a bit of childish play.”

It was truly a jaw-dropping sight. What did they do in this space after decorating it? It was probably a dirty pleasure that society did not allow.

‘I only saw what this place looked like through photographic evidence.’

Immediately after the identity of this place became known to the public, extreme evidence was destroyed. Through the ‘Hellfire’ skill, an entire mountain where this place was located was blown down.

There must be something they want to hide, so it seemed like it would be a ‘smoke gun’ to catch them.

“A few ‘resident managers’ will be showing up soon, so I’ll talk to them carefully…”

At that time, the front door opened and a large man in a suit came out.

“Uh! General Jeong, what’s going on?”

– Player (LV: 61)

After that, two more people were seen.

– Player (LV: 48)

– Player (LV: 41)

They seemed to be the ‘administrators’ who are always on standby here as Jeong Sang-sik mentioned earlier.

“So, the security here is this. “Is it all about people?”

“It’s not that many, but there might be one or two more in the security room…”

When Lee Hyun-wook asked so openly, Jeong Sang-sik nodded with a somewhat embarrassed expression, and the guards looking at the two people turned quite sharp.

“General Jeong? Don’t you know that unauthorized guests are not allowed in?”

“ah! Director Kim, that’s… it only takes a moment, but can you turn a blind eye?”

Jeong Sang-sik spoke with an awkward smile, but the other person shook his head firmly.

“This is the top rule decided at the VIP meeting, so you must follow it. The fact that he was brought here in the first place… is a problem that we cannot just turn a blind eye to. And I don’t know who that man is, but it won’t end with just clamping down on his mouth. .”

They were unable to recognize Lee Hyun-wook’s identity because he was wearing his hat tightly.

However, as if they instinctively sensed a threat, their hands crawled to their waists.

‘It is armed with a pistol and a pistol for use against players.’

And considering their high level for a manager, they were players with quite impressive past records, so they seemed to be hounds who took on Hwang Yeon-soo’s dirty work.

“—uh don’t come closer.”

As Lee Hyun-wook took a step closer, they prepared to take out a pistol from their waist.

“Wait a minute, I have something to show you.”

“…yes?”

“It’s very important, so please take a look at this.”

They were wary of Lee Hyun-wook and slightly lifted his jacket.

At first glance, I saw a pistol made of adamant.

At that time, Hyunwook Lee opened his palm and—

“Huh?”

The four guards were unable to react to the non-threatening movement.

Buck—buck—buck——!

“Ugh…”

The iron ball flew in a curved line and hit their chin. It flew at a fairly high speed, so they lost consciousness for a moment as if they had been hit straight by a heavy hook.

Immediately after that, Lee Hyun-wook gave metal control to the front door handle and pulled it.

Tung—

As the door swung outward, an iron ball flew through the gap.

A man standing behind him was looking at us with a blank expression. Before he could even see what had happened, an iron ball hit his temple.

Next, an iron gate about 30 meters in front was forcibly torn off.

“Uh…”

Inside, it seemed to be the situation room of this panic room, and two people were holding pistols out.

bang! bang! bang! bang!

An orihalcon-plated warhead was fired, but Lee Hyeon-wook blocked it with a torn iron door.

“Fuck it, call the host right now!”

Host It meant Hwang Yeon-soo, the representative of the ‘members’ who use this place.

If the situation here became known, problems would inevitably arise in future emergency arrest operations.

But….

Go go go go go strong——!

Lee Hyun-wook’s With a single wave of his hand, all the electronic equipment in the room was crushed, and even the Mana Messenger he had taken out as the next best option was crumpled like paper in his hands. “That’s ridiculous…

”

The iron door was crumpled into a ball as they looked at them with devastated expressions. It flew in.

Bang——!

‘The five of us are finished?’

As no moving metal was detected in this building, it seemed like the cleanup was over.

Lee Hyun-wook ‘created’ metal from both arms and tied up the limbs of the unconscious managers.

“Ugh… What are you, you bastard?”

At that time, Director Kim, who came to his senses and was in charge of managing the panic room, asked:

“—General Jeong! What on earth is going on? Have you betrayed me?”

“Big…….”

“If they find out about this, they will never be able to handle me!”

When Lee Hyun-wook smiled and raised his hand,

“I don’t think you, superiors or subordinates, have a clue about the situation.”

“…What? Who are you?”

“Do you still not know who did something that you couldn’t handle in the first place?”

Lee Hyun-wook took off his hat and looked at Director Kim. His eyes became rabbit eyes.

“Lee Hyun-wook… why are you here…”

“And you guys need to talk to me for a moment too.”

“Ha—if you’re thinking of placating us, there’s no way around it!”

“Yeah, that’s what everyone said at first…”

At that time, Lee Kyo-jun and Bihyeong-rang’s team entered the panic room.

“I’m sorry, Team Leader Kyo-Jun Lee, but I would like to ask you one thing.”

“Yes, you can say anything. “Our entire team is on emergency standby.”

“Could you please call some healers? “Enough to save even the dead.”

Since I didn’t have much time, I planned to keep the conversation short and sweet.

***

Meanwhile, the members of [Dawn Society] were all shaking with anxiety. I couldn’t help but feel uncomfortable because Lee Hyun-wook took the hitman away after preventing the assassination they had planned.

– Director Hwang… Are we really okay?

“Hah… Rep. Park, wouldn’t I have prepared for this much?”

Accordingly, Director Hwang Yeon-soo, the host of the Women’s Association, was strongly urging members to keep quiet every time they contacted them because they could never worry. But… ”

Um

… Director, would you like to take a look at this?”

His confidant, Manager Park, held out his smartphone.

– [Breaking News] Lee Hyun-wook points out influential figures in Korea as the mastermind behind the Mt. Paldal terrorist attack (1st report)

Hwang Yeon-soo, who was displeased but not anxious, had cracks in his face.

“…huh? “What does this mean?”

At 8:30 p.m., such news was posted simultaneously on various media outlets.

In this case, it meant that a specific force was intentionally manipulating the media.

“Hehe, Director Park, this looks like a plan to shake us up. Check it out first.”

And…

– [Breaking News] President orders to find the person behind Lee Hyun-wook’s assassination attempt, “We will respond strictly” What

does it mean that the president’s name was mentioned and public power was mobilized?

… “It seems like something has gone wrong.”

At Director Park’s report, Hwang Yeon-soo chuckled, rubbing her head.

“Oh, that old man just believes what Lee Hyun-wook says and makes a fool of himself, right?”

However, there was still a strange confidence on his face.

“Even if they had assumed that we were behind it, there would have been no evidence.”

“Yes, all conversations and transactions so far have been conducted in the panic room.”

No matter how bad the circumstances are, as long as there is no evidence, there is no chance of serious harm. Who were the people who participated in this in the first place? This situation would have been resolved quickly. “Okay, so I tell the members to keep their mouths shut. They will turn on the lights loudly on the other side.

” “It looks like it’s trying to light a fire, so just crouch quietly and get up again when the fire goes out.”

But…

“Director Cheo, we’re in big trouble!”

Another subordinate opened the door and came in.

“…There is news that the members have been arrested simultaneously and urgently!”

“What? Director Woo, this bastard… he comes out so recklessly even though there is no evidence?”

Hwang Yeon-soo now had a rough idea of what this trick was. Even though there was no evidence, it was an intention to push things around and damage the image of Oh Tae-moon, the next presidential candidate. “It’s a good thing you came here

. “It seems like they are determined to cause confusion.”

Still, Hwang Yeon-soo had taken refuge in a safe house after the previous failed assassination of Lee Hyun-wook.

“Whew… How are you going to go out like this to deal with Woo Seong-moon?”

However, in front of the next news, Hwang Yeon-soo’s calm could not help but disappear completely.

– [Breaking News] ‘Yeonhui-dong’ hideout of the forces behind Lee Hyun-wook’s assassination attempt confirmed. Currently being searched.

And a photo was attached, and it was a photo of the entrance to the panic room.

Somehow, Lee Hyun-wook and Woo Seong-moon had already stormed in there.

“What is this!” “Have you heard anything from Director Lee of the management team?”

“Uh… none.”

“What on earth happened?! Why was the panic room robbed so easily?”

He got irritated and blew up the TV with a fireball.

“Shit!” It shouldn’t be like this… Manager Park, are all the ledgers in the second safe over there?”

In the ledger, all kinds of misconduct by the same members were recorded.

Bribery, bribery, contract murder, etc… These were materials that he had accumulated step by step in order to arrest and manage members who might rebel against him later when he took power.

In reality, the panic room was safer than anywhere else, so of course it was kept there.

But… if that panic room was robbed, that would be decisive evidence.

“Damn it, what kind of bastard portal was robbed! “This makes sense!”

“But since it’s in the secondary safe, it won’t be revealed right away.”

At those words, Hwang Yeon-soo nodded with difficulty.

“Yes, that’s right…”

In preparation for situations like this, another secret space was prepared in the panic room.

Maybe… even Woo Seong-moon might not be able to find it in the end.

“And In the secondary safe, there is also ‘those items’ that were supposed to be sent to the United States.”

“What? I put it all in there. Do you understand if I say it’s that item?”

“That… a giant sword that only revealed some information based on B-grade emotion skills.”

He then wiped his face, remembering what it meant.

“What? Why the fuck is that there? “Didn’t we decide to send it to the U.S. to be evaluated?”

“As you said last time, we planned to deal with Lee Hyun-wook first and then move him.”

Not long ago, Yeonsu Hwang received an item as a bribe from a large guild master. It was a whopping 2m long sword, and its performance was very poor compared to its ridiculous size. However, the other party claimed that it was presumed to be a ‘potential item’

.

So, as a result of obtaining and using an expensive ‘B-grade Appraisal Order’…

‘…it was a legendary grade item.’

However, only that part was revealed and the detailed information was still unknown.

‘Whatever it is, it must be recovered. If you have it, you can live anywhere, even if it is not in this country. It is something that everyone in the world wants….

‘ A legendary item comparable to the price of a mothership could not be missed.

“Director Park, first of all, find a way to go abroad. Ha—I guess I should avoid it for now.”

Then he got up and picked up his jacket on the sofa.

“…You could take refuge abroad first and then send the kids to retrieve it, right?”

“Yes, that’s right! The entrance to the second vault is well hidden, so you’ll never find it.”

***

Meanwhile, deep in the panic room, Lee Hyun-wook was standing in front of a tunnel with

Jeong Sang-sik. “This is the passage to Director Hwang Yeon-soo’s personal safe. If someone with an unregistered mana pattern comes in… they will wake up and attack, so be careful. “I…”

I saw antique decorations that would have been found in a high-ceilinged European castle.

Among them, there were several giant stone statues with bizarre monster shapes.

Lee Hyun-wook was able to check their information through the ‘Insight Lens’.

[ Object information]

– Name: Gargoyle statue (rare)

– Effect: ‘Turns into a monster’ when an intrusion is detected.

There were a total of 12 of these, which were a considerable level of security equipment.

‘…But what is that, and is it attached to the ceiling? ?’

Meanwhile, Lee Hyun-wook’s eyes detected something else. It

was behind the intricate decorations in the corner of the high ceiling.

[Object Information]

– Name: Synesthesia Mirage Curtain (Hero)

– Effect: Disguises a certain space as a ‘Synesthesia Mirage’.

The synesthetic mirage was not just a visual illusion.

It was a magic that could camouflage everything, including the sense of smell and touch.

In other words, if you used it, you could deceive all the senses of most beings,

but it couldn’t deflect the legendary Eye of Horus. .

‘If you pay enough attention, it looks like you’ve hidden something quite amazing.’
