Declaration Of Extra Strike

Chapter 16



 I can’t believe he was being ignored by his team members and staying in such a tiny room. If I knew, I would have brought him to our house out of pity. Of course, there was Tae Jae-heon in the house, so it was hard to be sure whether it was the better option……. anyway. “Poor fellow.” Kicking my tongue and shaking my head, I started searching the room to find my original goal, the guide card. Just like a person who will stay for a while and leave, his belongings were kept to a minimum. It made it easier to search the room. I looked through the orderly pile of clothes but couldn’t find anything noteworthy, so I went to the drawer, which wasn’t too dusty. When I opened the first compartment, there was a black leather wallet. “I knew it!” When I opened the wallet, the guide card I was looking for was inserted in the front. The logo on the wallet was a famous brand that I have used before. It may have been used for a long time, but it was good leather, so it was still stylish in time. “Did you get it as a gift?” It’s too good of a wallet to be in such a dirty room. After taking all the bankbooks, contracts, and documents that were separately filed under the wallet, I just roughly opened the remaining drawers and checked them. When I reached the bottom compartment, thinking it was the last one, I pushed the drawer that I had taken out with my feet. The drawer, though, was stuck somewhere, and there was a sound of a glass bottle hitting something. “What’s going on?” There was a sound coming from the drawer’s interior. Nothing on me could have made that sound. I opened the drawer again just to make sure and checked it. Not much caught my eye. Although I had assumed it wouldn’t be a big deal, I felt uneasy and this time completely pulled out the drawer. It was then that I heard the rattling sound of the bottles bumping into each other again. It was not until I leaned over and looked into the place where the drawer was missing that I could know the identity of the sound. There was a palm-sized hole in the floor where the drawer was located. The last drawer was roughly pushed in, and the board covering the hole was hung open. I put my hand deep in, lifted the board, and took out the things inside. A white, unlabeled vat and several finger-sized ampoules containing dark purple liquid. I don’t know what the medicine bottle was, but the unique colour of the ampoule made it difficult to see what was on the outside. If I had a skill, I could have done a simple component analysis right away, but my skills are all locked now. With regret, I put it down next to it and opened a white medicine bottle without a label. Inside were half a dozen round white pills. As soon as I opened it, a peculiar smell came up. “What is it?” I had no idea what medicine it was. I frowned at the frustration. I tried to think of something for a long time, even grabbing my head, but eventually gave up and got up. There’s nothing more dangerous than smelling drugs in a room the size of a rat hole that doesn’t even have ventilation. I got up from my seat and returned to Han Seo-jin’s room with all the ampoules, medicine, Joo Ho-hyun’s documents, and bank accounts. “Where should I hide…….” No matter where I hid it, I was anxious because it wasn’t my room. Eventually, I came into the next room where I had slept on the first day and entered the bathroom looking for a place to hide. He raised his foot and lifted the check-out opening on the bathroom ceiling. In the space that was revealed as part of the ceiling went up, the items brought from Joo Ho-hyun’s room were hidden inside, and they were firmly grooved again. “I don’t know anymore, maybe here? Let’s go.” I stepped out of the mansion. In my pocket, there was a guide card and two tablets packed separately. As I stepped out onto the main street, a red stop with the sign “High-level Esper Team Accommodation Complex” appeared not far away. After a while, a small yellow bus came up from the forest in the distance. The bus stopped right in front of me. As I got on, the driver, who looked quite young, greeted me cheerfully. “Hello!” “I’m going to the examination centre.” “Get in! Yeah. Let’s see…. a medical examination center. This is a circular bus, so it’s about 10 stops away.” I was the only one on the bus. As I went to the back and sat in a spacious seat, the driver glanced back and said, “Can I turn on the radio?” “Do as you please, ….….” “Thank you. Then I’ll go.” The bus left. The wind coming through the open window was cool, so I looked out blankly, and at some point, the sound of the radio played by the driver caught my ear. [Issue Sniper asking about today’s Issue!
