The World of Masks

"The entrance."

This was probably the entrance to the basement. You see a hole that looks like a handle inside the square where the gap is drawn. Maybe that's what closes the door. There are no locks. The weight of the door is becoming more reliable than most.

Charles sticks his hand in the hole and slowly raises the door.

Grrr!

The entrance is completely open. A gentle staircase runs long down. It looks as if the entrance to hell is wide open, and some superpowers swallow their saliva.

"Chancellor, we've found an entrance into the basement."

< < Do you feel any kind of wit inside? > >

"No, not at all. Quiet."

Charles glances at the open entrance and says,

< < Then enter. I'll leave the building secure to Charlie Team. > >

"I understand."

A team waiting outside slowly came into the house. Charles glances at the direction he thinks is towards the entrance.

Charlie team was led by a pandemic. I was worried that he was in such a low pressure mood and condition.

'You'll do well.'

Maybe he's still a superpower with experience. Charles has been silenced.

'I'm glad you're not disobeying orders at all. But when this operation is over, I'll take some time off and try to cheer him up.'

Charles thought so and turned the accident into a battle again.

He was ahead of a few of his team's superpowers. They have regenerative abilities of their own. Merritt shines on situations like this that taste bitter, but also don't die. Moreover, they are rewarded with greater rewards than others.

'But they're not the only ones.'

That's why Charles was ahead of them. Already done with discussions with others, including legislation. Jinseok initially expressed an error, but Charles' stubbornness eventually forced him to relive it.

"Let's go."

Charles and his renewable superpowers slowly set foot on the stairs. It seems as if people are slowly disappearing into hell, and those who remain behind shiver unconsciously.

Be careful not to make as much noise as possible. The cold concrete stairs led down. Maybe it was the tension that made the time to go down feel like an eternity. However, unlike the feeling, the stairs were not that long. It was about the length of going down exactly one floor.

"I can see the door."

Charles reports it over the radio and grabs the handle as carefully as before.

Pow!

Unlike the entrance, this door is not locked. Charles slowly opens the door.

An empty corridor opened before my eyes. He was dividing the space like a small planning city, drawing several squares that looked like corridors. The basement was quite large. On either side of the corridor, the doors of the dim pattern were stretched side by side.

Charles gestures. Then I stepped forward. The superpowers behind him followed Charles. Suddenly, I spread out individually and stood in front of the door that was deemed to be a room.

Boom, boom! Boom!

He kicks the door down and walks into the room. In his hands, he activated his own abilities. Any suspicious moves will definitely hit the target.

Boom!

Charles enters a room roughly the same way. A sheer concussion scatters its destructive energy in his hands.

The room was quiet. There was no movement. It was an empty room.

Charles looks around the room, keeping his nerves up. A number of beds were made up. The sheets were cluttered because they weren't neat, and the ashtray on the only table had a pile of cigarette butts. The smell of stabbed cigarettes vibrates in the room.

But he was never a man.

Other superpowers are here to report to their inner Charles. The other rooms were also empty. The structure is the same. It was a landscape full of beds.

Something's not right. '

There weren't a lot of furniture types, but it was definitely a person. Moreover, Jin said that there is still a superpower response here. Chuck saw that this was definitely where people slept. Then, even if there were only a few people left, there was nothing strange. But I didn't see a single human being.

"First floor underground. Nothing."

Charles reported to Jin on the comm.

"There were signs of people, but no one."

< < Suspicious. > >

"Isn't that right?"

Charles clears his eyes and searches the room again.

< < According to the information, it is most likely the organization that used to have a superpower detector. And yet, there is no response so far. at least we have a good chance of catching your movement by now. > >

Charles didn't back down. I no longer hear the word of truth from the communicator. But Charles assumed that Jinsuk was thinking the same thing.

'Trap.'

Either the attack information was leaked, or they were caught in their false information. Not a good sign, anyway.

'I can't help but check it.'

There have been reports of stairs going down. As long as I didn't find anything on this floor, I had to go down again.

"I'll go down there for now."

< < Be careful. > >

Charles makes his way to the stairwell found. The silent rat makes his anxiety worse.

The communicator hears a legitimate order waiting for a team of divers at the underground entrance.

'Have you chosen a metaphor?'

Perhaps if something happened to Charles and his team, he'd be willing to give the order to support them. And Ben Schulz and his troops will continue to secure ground buildings with the mission of the United Nations team.

Charles knew that Jin was constantly thinking about who to assign as backup. It would be better to assign a support mission to a more experienced survivor than the original inexperienced Ben Schultz. Moreover, the epidemic has the ability to regenerate. But the fact that the epidemic continues to collide with autism caught my attention. But in the end, it seemed like they decided to believe in the plague.

Are you gonna be okay?

I feel anxious.But he's not a child either. Charles also decided to believe in his disciple, Convention, and the legitimacy of making such decisions.

He raises his tension again and starts heading downstairs.

* * *

The sickness that is on standby with the rest of the team is slammed in the face. Others who were overwhelmed by tension did not notice the pandemic.

"I'm annoyed. '

It was an idea that covered his brain. I didn't like that I had to listen to the commands of Jin, who was struggling with the rebellion. Moreover, it was not the only factor that confounded his feelings.

Heel-heel.

I turned my head and looked back. You see a team securing this new building on behalf of their team waiting for the basement entrance.

Bravo team, led by the new god Ben Schulz. Hannah was placed in it.

"Tsk!"

This time it came out as a sound. The more I thought about it, the more minutes came. And the hatred for the truth grew even greater. However, it was not an appropriate environment to express those feelings.

'You're a normal person anyway.'

I thought that and suppressed the feeling of boiling. But the fact that he, a superpowered man with God, was taken from him by a mere mortal, Jin, continues to touch his Pride.

[Are you okay, Yoohyun?]

I hear a beautiful voice. The heart of the scaffolding soon sank. His mind calmed down as if to ask when she was boiling.

"No problem."

In case you're worried about making your goddess feel uneasy, the pandemic is gentle.

Natia spoke because the smell of the pandemic was unusual, but she was relieved as the pandemic looked better.

[I know it's a tense situation. But the pandemic is capable enough. because it doesn't run compared to any other person. Believe in yourself and be strong.]

It's a goddess blessing. It is the gospel of Zigo. Your whole body begins to feel energized, like gasoline filling the engine. It seemed to awaken the cells one by one, from head to toe, as the blood gushed.

"Yes!"

It was a moment when he responded powerfully with his own emotions.

Two or two!

I heard a strange sound. That was definitely gunfire coming from the comms.

< < I encountered a small resistance on the second floor underground! Fewer firearms in use! > >

You hear the urgent voice of Charles. Suddenly, tension spread throughout my body. The communicator sends a tense conversation between Jin and Charles.

< < Can you subdue it? > >

< < It's nothing. The problem is that you can't use your superpowers lightly in case the basement collapses. > >

Beyond the basement, you hear the sound of "groan." A testament to Charles scattering his glorious lightning in the dungeons.

< < Are there enough allies? > >

< < Not enough to take over the entire basement. The basement is so vast that it will take some time to battle. > >

Yoo Yoon clenched his fist. Charles' remarks were a complete request for support. I moved my body gradually, thinking they were going to be put in soon. But no command was issued on the comms.

"What are you doing, you idiot? '

The pandemic uttered a profanity toward the true. You feel frustrated that Charles is clearly circumventional, but he doesn't give any orders, even though he clearly wants support.

< < Charlie Team. Enter the basement and assist Alpha Team. > >

Finally, an order is given. Slow dipshit. He chews the dust like that, and the pandemic goes underground.

'It's a big mess.'

With this much space, it will definitely be difficult to drive out the enemy with 40 people and take control of one floor. Especially if you can't use all your abilities to prevent the building from collapsing.

Without hesitation, Charlie Team entered the second floor underground, where there were many beds and simple furniture.

You hear the sound of battle from a distance getting louder. The sound of a powerful rifle and the sound of superpowers that make each signature distinctive. Charlie team joined Charles' Alpha team immediately following the order of Jin.

The youngest enemies collapsed soon after joining the pandemic and his team. You fled like roaches scattered everywhere.

"There's another one downstairs."

Charles frowns as he looks down the stairs, as the enemies flee. You examine the corpse of the enemy who died trying to escape. An unusual AK rifle and a seemingly random outfit. Typical of a terrorist.

"We've also secured the second floor underground."

Charles reports to Jin, who's over the comms.

< < Mr. Charles. Did any of your enemies include people with superpowers? > >

"No, they didn't."

< < · · · · · · · I'm getting suspicious. > >

Charles nods quietly.

"You're not already running, are you?"

< < Because you, the superpowers, are responding, you can no longer see if there are any superpowers in that building other than you. It overlaps with your reaction. But obviously, there was a massive superpower response there before you came in. Since then, no superpowered person has left the building. > >

"Good for you. at least there won't be a plan to take down an entire building."

No matter how vicious the enemy may be, he would never abandon a superpower close to 100 people.
