Chapter 33

Seol finally found traces of her.

It wasn't too difficult to reach, but that was only possible for Seol because he had a rough idea of how the laboratory was set up.

'If she left a note here... does this mean that she plans on coming back?'

It also meant that Chao wouldn't be here.

[ Adventure 5. 'Griz's Secret Laboratory'

You have found Chao's traces here.

However, it looks like Chao left after fulfilling her objective. It seems like it would be difficult to find her here.

Nevertheless, you are still only near the entrance of the secret laboratory. Something more incredible than Chao's traces could be hidden deeper in the laboratory. You must acquire them.

Objective: Investigate Griz's Secret Laboratory.

Remaining Time [70:41]]

- Tch, this is just a wild goose chase.

- It's not, have you never heard of Griz?

- Of course, I don't know them? How would I know them? Do you know them?

- I don't know either. I asked because I didn't know.

- There's a short excerpt on him in the guidebook.

- What does it say?

- An incredible genius. And an incredibly weird person?

- LMFAOOOO so basically he's a super unstable character.

Seol nodded after confirming the changed Objective.

'I didn't plan on stopping here either.'

Seol came here primarily to find Chao but also to hopefully find something that could be remaining here.

Griz was, in name and title, a virtuoso of Mechanical Engineering and was also the creator of inventions that could be considered treasures. If there was even a single invention that Griz created left behind in this laboratory, it was the correct decision to search for it.

'But... what did Chao take?'

Not only did she discover the secret laboratory's location by herself, she also stole an item from it. Seol could sense that she was an extraordinary person.

So what invention was able to catch her attention?

"Master, look at this."

Karuna handed Seol a group of documents.

Seol skimmed through the documents and realized that they were about researching a specific invention as well as the research itself.

"Questions about death?"

Griz's research normally started from ridiculous thoughts. And it was clear from the words written on the documents that this was once again the case.

- What is death? Would it hurt to die? Will I really decompose and turn to nothing when I'm dead? Or are the believers right about an afterlife? I'm curious, oh so curious. I'm so curious that I can't hold it back anymore! That's why I'll find it out!

It was clear that Griz led this research from the document's introduction as well as its contents.

- There is no one in this vast continent who has experienced death. Ah, there are undeads, but since they are those who have rejected death, they are exceptions. Therefore, I made an invention that would allow me to get a glimpse at death's true face.
