The Hero Became Obsessed With The Villain [part 2 Complete]

Chapter 225: Confusing Heart

The Hero Association.

The auxiliary research facility located in its underground section.

In this place where a significant portion of the tools and weapons used by the association are manufactured, Stardus was receiving guidance from one of the researchers.

In this bustling place where various people were clad in lab coats, the person in charge of the lab guided Stardus and explained.

"Yes, that's correct. This time, we've received a lot of support from Yuseong Enterprise, so we're working together with them. Over here..."

Guiding him along the way, the person continued to speak. He eventually got to the main point, the topic Stardus had inquired about.

"Do you remember the underground facility of HanEun Group that Stardus visited last time? It's the place where a monster named Behemoth was created. I heard that you were there with Egostic..."

"Oh."

"Yes, there were many other monsters there as well, so it took quite some time for the cleanup team to eliminate them all. Nevertheless, we managed to recover everything."

"Oh, so this is..."

"Yes, it's the containment room where Stardus was trapped due to the ability suppression. This was made by dismantling the wall used for that purpose."

He said this as he pointed to a white room isolated in one corner of the research facility. However, he added a caveat.

"Creating this material in mass production seems to be quite difficult. It appears that the material itself is somehow tied to some sort of ability, and honestly, we haven't been able to grasp the underlying principles. From what we've observed in the experiment results, it seems that when this material seals off a space flawlessly, from floor to ceiling and walls, no type of ability can be used within it."

"..."

"For now, in my opinion, if abilities come from the outside, it seems to function by completely severing the connection with the outside. We're still researching it."

"...I see."

Stardus simply responded. Following the guidance of the employee, she explored other equipment and returned to his current location.

Now, in her office, Stardus sighed while examining various documents.

"It's not that simple."

She had hoped for something like handcuffs that would suppress the opponent's abilities the moment they were put on, but it seemed impossible.

She felt disappointed with that thought.

"If only we had things like that, we could easily detain many."

Speaking of him...

As she pondered this, she involuntarily thought of his face. The face with a mask covering half of it, the smile he always directed towards her.

"Ugh..."

As she thought of him, Stardus shook her head suddenly and slapped her cheeks. For some reason, her cheeks had turned red when she recalled his face. Perhaps, it had gotten hotter in her office.

"Yeah, I need to think of a way to detain them quickly."

Muttering to herself, she began researching new methods. After all, this was her fault for treating the arch-enemy like that. Yes, other than this method of capture, there was no other choice.

Using the remaining time, she delved into researching different ways to capture her arch-enemy, just as she always did.

While the TV played muted news on one side, suddenly, it went blank. There was nothing but noise.
