After dinner, Cale once again opened the door that led us to the room where the meeting happened a few days ago
"Well, while we wait for others, I think it's better if we make sure all the equipment is fine " Reggie said softly
"Hmm, sounds good. Then I'll review my plan for any flaws. Although I know there's none, but hey, just in case " Cale said smugly
"Sir Cale. . . Didn't you learn what your arrogance brings you to? You lose against my friend you know~? " Adam teased him softly
". . . Damn it, shut up you! How dare you betray your own teacher?! " He mock-shouted at him
". . . Perhaps it's better if you listen to what he said " I said calmly
"Shut up! I'm still mad that you made that last rule! "
"Cale, what they said is true, you know? " Reggie softly put his hand on Cale's shoulder
"Wha-You too?! AARRGGHH!! Why was everyone against me today?! "
"Haha, alright alright. Stop pouting, I'll buy you a snack later "
". . . You'd better, or I'll kick your ass. Gently, of course "
"Haha. Ok, ok, you have my promise "
"Hmph, then, I'll go write back my plan. Do what you guys must " He said before turning around and walking, crossing his arms
Reggie then turned his head towards Adam and me, smiling gently at us
"You two, help me check the equipment will you? "
"Roger that " Adam said, giving him a thumbs-up
". . . Sure " I said calmly
He then led us to where they kept the uniforms, a few magic stones that are going to be used as a communicator, and a few of the enhanced weapons that were likely stolen from the facility
I then took one of the uniforms and observed it. The uniforms themselves were a tactical vest strapped tightly over a black long-sleeved shirt, with the facility's emblem stitched onto the vest
Hmm, these clothes don't feel normal. . .
From the outside, it looks like simple guard clothes. However, these uniforms didn't feel like it
. . . Perhaps the government set up some type of system or identification on these clothes, that's why they stole it directly from there
I then turned my head to Reggie and Adam, who were both checking if the weapons and the magic stones working or not
"Hey, uncle "
He then stopped what he was doing and turned his head towards me
"Yes? "
"If I were correct, these clothes were stolen from the facility right? "
"Yes, what's the matter? "
"I just want to confirm if these clothes used some type of magic, that's all "
"Oh, I see. Well, those clothes indeed had magical energy around them. But, it wasn't from a spell "
". . . So, they used magic stones then? "
"Yep, they used specific stones and radiated the clothes with their energy "
"I see. So it works like sensors huh? "
"Hmm, that way, no one could replicate their clothes and they could detect any spies immediately "
". . . Huh, was it Cale that told you about how this works? "
"Yeah. Honestly, I was surprised when I heard it the first time. I didn't know the government was that careful "
"Waahh. . . That's amazing, Sir Cale surely is knowledgeable huh? " Adam said in wonder as he stopped what he was doing to join the conversation
"Haha, he is. We're lucky to get him on our side "
. . . Yeah, the government indeed is smart to make sure they can rule this country while doing their dirty work
Setting up surveillance drones, frames the protestors as criminals, makes the 'heroes' work under them, making their people dumber for easier control, and now this
". . . So there's really no good people inside the government huh? " I said calmly
"Hmm? "
". . . I'm just surprised that no minister has even said anything about the government. Is there really no one who protests? "
". . . Unfortunately, no. There isn't one. Either they got fired or. . . Eventually join them. Mostly join "
. . . Fuck those people
"Oh yeah. Uncle Reggie, I wonder, why didn't you guys send anyone to spy on the government? Surely it will help a lot to get more information, no? " Adam asked him
". . . We have tried that method before, and it backfires "
". . . How so? " I asked calmly
". . . We didn't know "
"Eh? What did you mean you don't know? " Adam asked, dumbfounded
"We have tried to send 5 people to spy on the government a few months back, and we made sure that no one could expose them. But, the president somehow managed to "
"Err. . . Maybe the president found out that their informations were fake? Or maybe they said something that likely exposed them? " Adam tried to theorize
"No, we make sure the information about them is believable, and we also make sure that they didn't say anything about us "
". . . Wait, Adam. Are you talking about the movie where the spy got exposed because he ordered the whiskey in his own way and not the enemy's way? " I asked him
"Hey, man. Who knows that's how the spies got exposed? I mean there's a chance of it happening "
". . . I want to say it's a dumb way to theorize things, but it's also not at the same time "
"Haha, I didn't know you had a creative way of thinking, Adam " Reggie teased him softly
"Heh, I can be smart as well you know? " Adam said proudly
". . . Too bad you're not smart all the time " I teased him calmly
"Oi, harsh! "
"Haha. By the way, Dani, can you help us to check the equipment? " Reggie asked me softly
"Ah. . . Yeah, sorry, I was just checking the uniforms earlier "
"Haha, no worries. But I can assure you that the clothes work just fine. So come here and help us "
I then walked slowly towards them before Adam handed me an enchanted dagger before I took and observed it calmly
The dagger was etched with rune words, as it was embedded with a magic stone to make sure the holder could channel their magic to it
"Hmm. . . This seems fine. Dagger looks sharp and the rune words didn't seem to mess up " I said calmly
"Oh? Then you could bring it with you later if you want " Reggie said softly to me
". . . No thanks, if I bring this, it would be no different than a regular dagger "
"Eh, why so? "
"Oh, Dani is magicless Uncle Reggie " Adam said to him
"Magicless, huh? I heard it's a rare case where the gate inside your body is broken and it makes you a superhuman, right? "
Enjoying this book? Seek out the original to ensure the author gets credit.
". . . Yes, it is " I said calmly
"Wow, then you're an amazing guy! " Reggie said, seemingly proud and a little bit astonished by me
". . . Huh? "
"Eloimas is a country where weird things mostly happened right? In that case, you're amazing to survive this long! "
"Ah. . . Thank you "
. . . Kinda like that reaction, great to know he didn't act superior or anything
"Sorry if I sound rude Dani. But how did you survive this long? Knowing how disastrous your country is " Reggie asked me softly
". . . Well, I got my friends to protect me most of the time. Adam is the example "
"Heh, and I'm the one who saves him most of the time. Besides Farah of course "
"I see. Good to know that you have so many good friends, Dani. And it's also good to hear how caring you are for your friend, Adam "
"Hehe. Thank you, Uncle Reggie " Adam said, rubbing his head flusteredly
. . . Kinda miss them honestly, hope they're doing fine right now
. . . I wonder if this decision to remove the government is a good one. Didn't I promise myself before that I don't want anything happen to them?
But now, here I am, far away from them. And I didn't even know if they're fine or not. If anything happened to them, I'd only have myself to blame
. . . Or perhaps, being far away from them is the good one? Considering that many misfortunes had happened to me
. . . No, I should focus on what's happening around me right now, and that is to take down this fucking government
I then focused back on what I was doing as Reggie once again focused on checking the equipment before Adam pulled my sleeves gently and whispered to me
"Psst, Dani "
"What? " I whispered back at him calmly
"Should I tell him about your gateless condition? "
". . . No. For now, I don't want anyone to raise any weird rumors about me "
"Alright man. I got you "
"Thanks "
"No worries. As long as you cook me ramen when we get back to Eloimas "
". . . Huff, alright "
10 minutes before midnight
27 of us including Adam and me were wearing the uniforms and preparing our equipment right now as Cale was preparing to connect his magic to the stones at the facility to open a few portals
Thanks to his magic, the uniforms fit Adam and me well enough for us to wear them without being oversized
Cale then turned around and calmly cleared his throat before firmly shouting to get our attention
"?lr?ght ?z?rye?n?, l?sht?n ?p! "
("Alright everyone, listen up! ")
All of us then turned our heads and looked at him before he started to recap the infiltration plan
"N?wy, th?sh ph?k?l?tye ?sh ?t ?tsh l?wy?sht sh?k?r?tye wyh?n ?t'sh r??kh?ng m?dhn?ght. ?sh shō?n ?sh ? ?p?n th? p?rt?lsh, ?ll ?ph ye?? wy?ll g?t ?nto th? p?rt?lsh

("Groups from division A, your task is to guard the portals, make sure you don't raise any suspicion among the guards there. If by any chance the guards there ask you to patrol the facility, just follow their order and come back later ")

("I will use my magic to link myself with any of you so that I can check the surroundings. If anything happens, contact Reggie or me. Did all of you understand? ")
"Ye?sh sh?r! "
("Yes sir! ") 24 of them shouted firmly while saluting him like a soldier
("Hmm, ? ?ndh?rsht?ndh "
("Hmm, I understand ") Reggie said softly while tightening his gloves
Meanwhile, I just gave him a thumbs-up as I understood fully what he was saying before Adam leaned closer to me and whispered softly
"Dani. . . Could you tell me about what Sir Cale is talking about? "
"Basically, there's going to be three divisions. Each division has 9 people and is split into 3 groups with 3 people in each group. Division A guards the portals, Division B saves the people, and Division C destroys anything related to the facility experiment "
"Oohhh. . . That sounds like a great plan, as expected from Sir Cale " Adam said in awe
Hmm, that indeed sounds like a solid plan, but it needs to be executed perfectly or the plan's structure will crumble
. . . I wonder, did he have a contingency plan just in case? Not that I doubt him, but he might not have one considering his pride. . .
"G??dh, th?n pr?p?r? ye??rsh?lph. Ye?? sht?ll h?z? 5 m?r? m?n?t?sh v?ph?r? wy? sht?rt "
("Good, then prepare yourself. You still have 5 more minutes before we start ") He said before continuing to prepare his portal spell
I then approached him calmly and stand besides him, as I relaxed myself
"Sir, can I ask you something? "
"Hmm, what's up? "
"Did you have any contingency plan? Just in case something bad happens? "
"Hahaha, Dani, you should know that I'll always do. But sure, hit me with your questions "
"What if the guards there or anyone exposed our disguise? "
"Oh, that's not gonna happen. Scientists there are already busy with their work and research. The guards are too busy patrolling. They won't have any time to remember everyone's faces "
". . . If they ask for ID? "
"Ah, about that, everyone has a fake ID that I managed to make identical to the real ID they use, thanks to a few of them who work there. Check the vest's pockets "
I then calmly checked each of the pockets on the tactical vest and pulled out a fake ID with my face on it as the guard there
". . . Since when? "
"Right after the night of the meeting. Heh, I know I'm efficient, thank you " He said proudly
. . . Hmm, not bad. Guess his plan is pretty solid
The portals then slowly opened as each of the portals showed us the view of inside the weapons room, the stock room, and the toilets
"?lr?ght ?z?rye?n?, ye?? ?nlye h?z? ?nt?l th?sh dh?wyn v?ph?r? th? sh?k?r?tye t?ght?nsh v?kkh! Sh? m?z? ph?sht! "
("Alright everyone, you only have until this dawn before the security tightens back! So move fast! ")
They then started to run and enter the portal, as I saw Reggie slowly walk to the portal that leads to the toilet
". . . Don't tell me we're gonna enter that portal " I said, inside of me feel like dying from the smell alone
"Well. . . We're part of Division C after all. And this is the shortest route to the research room " Reggie said, scratching his cheek while smiling awkwardly at me
Adam then calmly walked to me and patted my shoulder with his smug smile
"Well Dani, at least this is better than fighting heavy hitters, no? Haha "
". . . Damn it. Let's go already "
All three of us then stepped into the portal, before all 3 portals slowly closed themselves
". . . Come back alive, all of you " Cale whispered to himself
As we stepped out from the portal, we noticed there were already 3 people guarding this place
Must be from the Division A huh?
Reggie then slowly approached them before talking softly but with the tone of a leader
"?ph ?nye?n? k?m?sh h?r?, m?kh? sh?r? ye?? g?yesh ?kt l?kh? ye??'r? ?n t??l?t vr??kh, ?kh? "
("If anyone comes here, make sure you guys act like you're on toilet break, ok? ")
"R?g?r th?t, l??dh?r "
("Roger that, leader")
"?lr?ght l??dh?r "
("Alright leader ")
"Ye?sh, R?gg?? "
("Yes, Reggie")
"G??dh. L?t m? khn?wy ?ph sh?m?th?ng h?pp?nsh. ?'ll v? k??nt?ng ?n ye?? g?yesh "
("Good. Let me know if something happens. I'll be counting on you guys ")
They three then nodded before Reggie jerked his head, signaling us to follow him
Both of us then followed him from behind as he slowly opened the door, and the first thing we saw was a crossroads, and the wall around the facility was made of black metal
". . . This way " Reggie whispered before walking to the right
As we walked behind him, we then kept passing guards who were patrolling on the same floor, as they didn't suspect a single thing about us
Huh. . . Guess what Cale said is true
Adam then fastened his steps and walked beside Reggie, before whispered besides him
"So, where are we going? "
"Underground. It's where they keep every monster and bioweapon they make, including where they do their research "
He then led us to the elevator and pressed the button before the elevator door slowly opened
After we entered, he then lightly pressed his hand on the metal below the floor buttons panel, as the metal opened by itself and revealing secret buttons leading to the underground
"Whoa. . . How did you know that? " Adam asked him
"Our spies mapped the whole facility when they disguised themselves as the guards here, we simply memorized the whole map, their patrolling rotation, and everything we should know about this facility "
As he was about to press the underground button, I calmly reached for his wrist and stopped him
"Wait "
"What is it Dani? "
". . . Shouldn't we handle the guards who monitored the CCTV here first? "
"Oh, that? Don't worry about it. We got it handle "
"Huh? "
Just then, his communicator inside the pocket of his tactical vest started to let out a distorted sound. He then picked it up, and someone began talking to him through it
"L??dh?r, wy? h?z? h?ndhl?dh ?z?rye g??rdh ?t th? Sh?k?r?tye K?ntr?l r??m ?ndh d?sh?vl?dh th? ?l?rm. ?t shh??ldh v? g??dh n?wy "
("Leader, we have handled every guard at the Security Control room and disabled the alarm. It should be good now ")
"G??dh. M?nt??n th? ?th?rsh ?sh wy?ll. ?pht?r th?t, g? t? th? ?ndh?rgr??ndh ?ndh k?nt?n?? ??r ?vzh?kt?z?sh "
("Good. Mention the others as well. After that, go to the underground and continue our objectives ")
"R?g?r th?t "
("Roger that ")
"See? We got everything handle " He said softly before pressing the button, as the elevator slowly went to the underground
". . . You guys already planned this before we joined you, huh? "
"Haha, it's all thanks to Cale "
. . . So it's really me who's over worrying
Adam then lightly nudged my arm with his shoulder, and I saw him smirking at me
"Come on Dani. This is Sir Cale we're talking about. The one who faced all the previous demon kings "
". . . My bad. I'm just worried that something will go wrong "
"Haha. Don't worry, but just trust his plans. Even if something goes wrong, he will adapt and adjust his plan instantly " Reggie said softly to me
". . . Ok then "
On the fourth floor, one of the groups from Division B was walking towards the containment room, where they believed a few of the missing people were kept
They then stopped themselves around the corner before taking a peek, and saw two guards at the door
". . . Shh??ldh wy? t?k? th?m ??t? "
(". . . Should we take them out? ") One of them asks
"Wy?ll, ?vz???shlye th?ye wy??ldhn't l?t ?sh ?ph wy? ashkh?dh t? g? ?nsh?dh? "
("Well, obviously they wouldn't let us if we asked to go inside ") The other responds
"?lr?ght, th?n ye?? v?th g? ?ndh t?k? th?m ??t. ?'ll sht?ye h?r? ?ndh k??p wy?tkh "
("Alright, then you both go and take them out. I'll stay here and keep watch ") The third guy said
They both then nodded at him before one of them cast a spell to fill the room with mist, alarming both guards
"Wyh?t th?-! Wyh?'sh th?r?-"
("What the-! Who's there-") The guard tried to shout before being stabbed in the neck with an enhanced dagger
The other guard aimed his weapon aimlessly before he saw a figure from the mist and ran towards him, stabbing the guard's stomach with his enhanced sword
"Ye?? dh?n? ?z?r th?r?? "
("You done over there? ") He asks, pulling out the dagger from the guard's neck
"P??k? ?ph k?kh?, m?n. ?ph k??rsh? ? ?m "
("Piece of cake, man. Of course I am ") His friend responds while pulling the sword from the guard's stomach
They then approached the door built with metal, as they noticed they needed the card to swipe and a code to enter on the panel
"Shh?t. V?th k?rdh ?ndh k?dh? p?n?l? "
("Shit. Both card and code panel? ")
"F?kkh. . . ?ph ?nlye Sh?r K?le wy?r? h?r?. . . "
("Fuck. . . If only Sir Cale were here. . . ")
"Ye?? k?ll ph?r m?? "
("You call for me? ") He said to him through telepathy
"Sh?r K?l?! Th?nkh th? k?nsht?ll?t??nsh, wy? n??dh ye??r h?lp "
("Sir Cale! Thank the constellations, we need your help ")
". . . L?t m? v?rr?wy ye??r ?ye?sh ph?r ? m?m?nt "
(". . . Let me borrow your eyes for a moment ")
His eyes then glowed as Cale didn't seem to blink for a few seconds, just kept staring at both the card reader and the code panel
"Sh? Sh?r K?l?, k?n ye?? dh? ?nyeth?ng ?v??t th?m wy?th ye??r shp?llsh? "
("So Sir Cale, can you do anything about them with your spells? ") He asked
"Hmm. . . I k??ldh ph?g?r? ??t th? k?dh?. V?t ?t'sh h?rdh ph?r m? t? vyep?shsh v?th ?ph th?m, ?t wy?ll t?k? t?? l?ng "
("Hmm. . . I could figure out the code. But it's hard for me to bypass both of them, it will take too long ")
"Sh?r. . . Wyh?t shh??ldh wy? dh? th?n? "
("Shit. . . What should we do then? ")
"T?ll ye??r phr??ndh t? kh?kkh v?th v?dh??sh. Sh?? ?ph th?ye h?z? th? k?rdh "
("Tell your friend to check both bodies. See if they have the card ") Cale commanded him
He then turned towards his friend who was now crossing both his arms, waiting for any instruction
"H?ye, vr?. Sh?r K?l? ?shkh?dh t? kh?kkh th? v?dh??sh. Sh?? ?ph th?ye h?z? th? k?rdh "
("Hey, bro. Sir Cale asked to check the bodies. See if they have the card ") He said to his friend
"?ph, ?k. Wy??t ph?r ? m?m?nt "
(Oh, ok. Wait for a moment ")
He then walked towards both the dead guards and checked their bodies for the card, but didn't get any
"Th?ye v?th dh?dhn't h?ldh ?t "
("They both didn't hold it ")
"Shh?t. . . Wyh?t shh??ldh wy? dh?, Sh?r K?l?? "
("Shit. . . What should we do, Sir Cale? ")
". . . ? sh??. Th?n, h?r?'sh wyh?t ye??'r? v?th g??ng t? dh? "
(". . . I see. Then, here's what you're both going to do ")
The elevator reached the underground floor before it slowly opened
As the elevator fully opened, all three of us could see a massive metal door that needed to be unsealed and slide open
There were also 8 guards standing in front of the door and a few automatic turrets on the ceiling
"Well, what should we do now, Uncle Reggie? " Adam asked him
"Hmm, we could try fooling them to get inside the labs. The problem is we still need to destroy everything inside, and once we do, the guards from the outside will call the rest. . . "
"Then we split up then. You and Adam will handle outside guards while I enter and handle the guards inside " I said calmly
"---! Wait Dani! That's dangerous! " Adam said, disagree with my plan out of worry
"He's right. That will be very dangerous for you to handle that many guards, considering that you're magicless " Reggie said softly to me
"Huff. . . You both don't need to worry. I can handle it, it will be much quicker if you both handle the outside. The quicker you do, the quicker you can help me "
They both then looked at each other before Adam just sighed in resignation while Reggie slowly nodded his head
"Alright then. We'll go with your plan. But you need to be careful once you're inside " Reggie said to me
"Ok "
"You better not die inside there! Or I will ask my little brother to slap you when you're in heaven "
". . . Huff, ok ok. I got you "
"Then, let's go " Reggie told us softly before we walked beside him
As we walked closer to the door, one of the guards halted us
"Sht?p, wyh?r? ?r? ye?? thr?? g??ng? "
("Stop, where are you three going? ") The guard asked, staring at us
"Wy?'r? g??ng ?nsh?dh?. Pr?sh?dh?nt'sh ?rdh?r "
("We're going inside. President's order ") Reggie said firmly to him
"Th? pr?sh?dh?nt? V?t wy? dh?dhn't g?t ?nye-"
("The president? But we didn't get any-")
"Sh? ye??'r? dh??vt?ng th? pr?sh?dh?nt? "
("So you're doubting the president? ")
"---! N-N?, th?t'sh n?t-"
("---! N-No, that's not-")
"?t sh??ndhsh l?k? ye?? ?r?. Wy?ll, g? ?h??dh ?ndh ?skh. V?t, ye?? khn?wy wyh?t wy?ll h?pp?nsh ?ph th? pr?sh?dh?nt g?tsh ?nn?ye?dh "
("It sounds like you are. Well, go ahead and ask. But, you know what will happen if the president gets annoyed ") He said coldly while staring at his eyes
"Kgh-! ?-?p?n th? d??r "
("Kgh-! O-Open the door ") He said to the other guard, his body shivering from the threat
The other guard then entered the code on the panel and the metal door unsealed and slowly slid open
He then nudged me softly, signaling me before I then calmly entered the labs, and the door slowly slid and sealed itself again
Inside the labs, a few scientists were busy continuing their sick experiment on the monsters and the bioweapons
One of the guards inside then slowly approached me, as he was staring at me
"H?ye ye??, sht?t? ye??r p?r-"
("Hey you, state your pur-")
But before he could finish his sentence, I quickly snapped his neck, breaking it, alarming all the guards and the scientists
"Wyh?t-! "
("What-! ")
"?ntr?dh?r! "
("Intruder! ")
"Kh?ll h?m! Kh?ll h?m!! "
("Kill him! Kill him!! ")
The guards then raised their weapons and prepared their fighting stance and their spells at me, preparing to kill me
". . . Huff, I hope they get it done quick "
