Jisung was walking around the building late at night, hating how the robot's glowing red eyes scanned the hallways for any movement. Fortunately for him, the robots ignored him after they were commanded to leave Jisung unarmed by Hyunjin or Chan. The giant metal clanking against the solid floor scared him with every footstep a robot made. He didn't realize how heavily guarded it was until he was the one looking around.

Jisung was indeed looking for the room the black liquid was being held in. He didn't know if the liquid had a name or not, but that was the least of his worries right now. The main worry was Hyunjin somehow finding out, but he wasn't too worried about that since Hyunjin wasn't supposed to come back until tomorrow afternoon or the day after.

He ran through the hallways and into different elevators, exploring the interior of the building. There was one floor he came across that had led him into a giant library filled with books. The bookshelves created a layout almost like a labyrinth. The only source of light was his flashlight and he would give himself a heart attack when he saw a shadow.

The library floor was very spacious, but the bookshelves reached all the way to the ceiling and made it feel tight and suffocating. There was an area with couches and chairs to rest at, but Jisung was looking at all the books. He was expecting some fantasy or non-fiction books like a real library, but instead he found many journals and books filled with knowledge. There were books about heroes and villains from the past time and some managed to spark Jisung's interest.

'Ranks of Villains'

'The Beginning of the Superhumans'

'The Demon and Angel'

The first book was about the different classes of villains that ranked from the least dangerous to the most dangerous. It talked about each villain's power and how the heroes categorize them based on the power and their mindset. However, most of the book was lies since they stated that heroes are heroic and would never harm villains after taken to custody. Jisung stopped reading immediately after that.

The second book were about theories of how the superhumans became a thing. Jisung read that some people believed a mad scientist created powers. He read that some people believe that the superhumans were chosen and gifted from the gods themselves. It was interesting what people thought, but in the end, these were just theories. It wasn't the truth.

The third book was the most interesting though. It was a fiction book about a villain who had demonic powers fell in love with a woman hero that was named 'Angel'. The villain who they named, 'Demon', fell in love with the hero, but based on the summary, Jisung could tell that it didn't have a happy ending. Since he hated sad books, he didn't decide to read it.

Jisung simply continued his search for the room: Going through elevators and staircases while traveling the building. Jisung tried his best to stay clear of the robots. He didn't know if they had cameras or some type of recording in them, but he wasn't taking any chances. Jisung getting caught by Hyunjin sounded scary but exciting as hell for some reason, but he was more scared than excited.

It wasn't long before Jisung suddenly ended up in a dark hallway. He was not paying attention to where he was going, but he knew that the floor one the second to last one or either the third to last one. It was dark, but when Jisung turned the corner, he was met with a big metal door.

DO NOT ENTER!

DANGER!

There were two signs on the door with a big metal board over the door that kept the door locked from the outside. There was no window to peek through, but when with the signs that acted as a warning, Jisung still went in. Grabbing the metal board from underneath, Jisung used all the strength in him to push it up and move it to the side since it was connected to the wall on the side. When he was finally able to push the metal lever or board to the side, Jisung grabbed the metal handle and yanked the door open.
