Labyrinth Exploration 101 Episode 245

Dangerously(11)

Florida Highway

─Seol Ha-woon: Have you located the vehicle?

─Kate: Yes. The car keys are probably in the enemy HQ, in the boss’s office.

A quiet conversation continues between the two on the broken highway.

─Seol Ha-woon: Let’s go.

─Kate: There are still gang members outside-

─Seol Ha-woon: I killed them all. Thanks to you drawing their attention, it was quite easy. Follow me.

-Bok Mal-ol is scary;

-Somehow frightening.

-Feels like he’d kill Kate too if things go wrong

-Clone. Kill him, Kate!

Thud. Thud.

Clone Seol Ha-woon and Kate walk together.

There’s no romantic atmosphere at all. Rather, it’s more like walking on thin ice than ever.

Not just this situation, but the atmosphere between the two is very dangerous. Especially Kate’s eyes glaring at Seol Ha-woon are murderous, and the background soundtrack is thriller-like.

-Kate seems to suspect Seol Ha-woon’s leg?

-Kate’s instincts are sharp

-Did she already notice he’s a clone?

-Wow, Kate is really something ㄷㄷㄷㄷ

-I heard Kate ranks 1st in global statistics lol there’s a reason lol

“What nonsense.”

The two soon hide in front of the Highway Gang’s Headquarters.

─Seol Ha-woon: Stab the neck. Right here precisely. However, you must strike accurately and forcefully with the concept of ‘crushing’ through the bone, not just ‘stabbing’.

Seol Ha-woon hands Kate a knife and teaches her assassination.

-What is this, a martial arts novel

-Kate, don’t trust Bok Mal-ol too much;;

-Kate seems to find this real combat tough, seeing how quietly she’s learning lol

-Kate and Im Hae-jun are only one year apart in age. She just looks more mature because she’s too perfect

-Too perfect lol fucking hell lol ugh such bullshit;

Afterwards, Seol Ha-woon goes to the front while Kate circles to the back, quietly assassinating gang members.

Crack! Crack! Thud!

Cross-editing of the two without hesitation. The sound of cutting human necks rings out clearly.

The two clear the 1st and 2nd floors completely, then reunite on the 3rd floor.

─Seol Ha-woon: The 3rd floor has only one entrance.

Seol Ha-woon cracks his neck and checks his revolver’s cylinder.

-Not much to see though.

-Even with a healthy leg, all he can do is shoot guns lol

-lololol the ones who expected more are idiots; he’s just a soldier, what nonsense about physically normal Seol Ha-woon being Kang Jun-ho level lol

-Fact) Warriors and fighters who lost their competitive edge ended up becoming soldiers ㅇㅇ

-Honestly, what amazing thing would happen just because one leg is fine lol only the fangirls expected too much lol

Lee Si-ah frowned at the real-time comments.

It’s Bok Mal-ol, not the real Mal-ol anyway, but it feels bad.

─Kate: Should we throw in explosives?

─Seol Ha-woon: No. If the car keys get damaged, we’re in trouble. Please provide backup.

Then suddenly, he kicks the door with his left foot!

“Huh.”

Crash!

Seol Ha-woon enters while smashing the door and first fires his revolver.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The heads of the three closest guys explode.

─You fucking bastard!

─Where did this asshole come from

The enemies also raise assault rifles and fire, but at that moment.

Seol Ha-woon’s movement can’t be caught by the eye. A whirlwind swirls as he disappears from the camera.

─────.

He moves leaving afterimages. He ‘walks’ to dodge the rising bullets and pulls the trigger.

─! ─! ─! ─! ─! ─!

Multiple gunshots flow in like scattering wind.

Crack! Crackcrack!

The enemy numbers in the dozens. Chain gunfire that destroys them all.

All the enemies’ heads explode,

Ratatatatata──!

The falling corpses pour bullets into the air.

It’s over.

The situation ended in just 3 seconds.

-?

-?

-What the????

-Wow;

-Crazy;;

-His physical is fucking insane what is this

-Put it in slow motion

-Ah fuck

-Wow

-Wow;;

-Holy lol

-Fucking insane;

-With a healthy leg he becomes a super saiyan?

-He’s using Kaio-ken by himself fuck lololol

Mitamnan has no replays for the reason that they disrupt immersion. So that scene was just a fleeting moment.

The impact was even more insane.

“Fucking amazing.”

Lee Si-ah’s hair stood on end. Her blood vessels tingled with excitement.

It’s the ‘what if story’ that countless Mitamnan fans only talk about.

Je Mal-ol’s prime. Seol Ha-woon from his active days without injuries.

Such things are being realized, even if only through a clone’s body…

Lee Si-ah scanned the SNS and fan sites she had open on her laptop.

·Fuck that was amazing, did you see that?

·This is insane… absolutely insane… Our Haun was someone who could fly around like that… ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

·Where did all the bastards who said it was nothing go? lololololol All shut up now? lololololol

·Seolhaun 3-second cut 0.25x slow motion.gif Even in slow motion it’s hard to see ㄷㄷ;;;

·But it’s so sad that this is a ‘clone’… A prime that’s only realized through a fake body, not the real one… Isn’t the production team too cruel…

Reactions are exploding like crazy. Especially North America, which goes wild for macho stuff, is particularly explosive.

@ActionJunkie88 3 SECONDS. HE CLEARED THE ROOM IN 3 FUCKING SECONDS

3 seconds. He cleared the room in 3 fucking seconds [Translated]

@NaN_LoreMaster So this is the ‘prime’ version they were talking about. The difference is terrifying

So this is the ‘prime’ version they were talking about. The difference is terrifying [Translated]

@TexasPEPE HOLY SHIT. Build this man a franchise. #SergeantSEOL #Badass

Damn. Let’s make this guy into a franchise. [Translated]

@HaunsCane My heart is breaking for our Haun… seeing what he lost. This isn’t just cool, it’s tragic. He was truly on ‘another level’….

Look at what Ha-woon lost. This isn’t cool, it’s tragic. He was truly on ‘another level’…. [Translated]

─Kate: ….

Kate, who entered late, quietly looks around at the corpses.

─Hey, hey you there!

A voice coming from the only office on the 3rd floor.

─D-don’t you dare come in. I’ll blow up this entire building. The detonator is in my hands right now!

Seol Ha-woon walks over and presses firmly on a spot on the wall.

─You fucking bastards. Do you want to go to the moon too? Say something!

Press. Press.

Then he signals to Kate with his eyes. Kate nods and forms a long spear.

─You son of a bitch! But even if you die, you can’t go! I won’t let you. Hahahahahaha!!!

Screeeech!

The moment the long spear penetrates the wall, the laughter stops.

When Seol Ha-woon opens the door, the guy is clutching the detonator with his head pierced through.

-Wow what the hell Bok Mal-ol;

-Fuck;; Is Mal-ol really okay? I feel like I’d get brutally killed if I met him.

-Seol Ha-woon’s form is just fucking insane

-Hahahahahaha

-Look at Kate’s accuracy

-But Seol Ha-woon did everything

─Seol Ha-woon: Let’s go in.

Seol Ha-woon kicks the corpse aside and enters, first checking the laptop in the office.

[About the Noah Project]

Android humanoid. They do something with human DNA. Cloning? Anyway. They send that to the moon and apparently it’s already done. My hobby these days is looking up at the moon with a telescope. Now I just need to drive to the space launch pad. It’s a bit annoying that I have to go with Dave, that moron who can’t even tell the difference between a telescope and a microscope, but if things go wrong, I’ll just kill him.

─Seol Ha-woon: Kennedy Space Center… so going up to the moon is correct.

─Kate: Take what you need. I’ll get the car ready first.

Kate first finds the car keys from the boss’s corpse.

─Seol Ha-woon: No. Stay here.

─Kate: Why?

─Seol Ha-woon: How can I trust you?

-Hahahaha

-Ah hahaha

-That’s true though

-They don’t trust each other

Clone Seol Ha-woon and Kate don’t trust each other.

Lee Si-ah finds herself biting her nails, wondering what kind of ending this minor friction will lead to.

Seol Ha-woon gathers various things from the office. He sweeps cash into a duffel bag and slings the sniper rifle hanging in a frame over his shoulder.

─Seol Ha-woon: Let’s go.

The two go down to the parking garage together and get in the car.

─Seol Ha-woon: Kate. You don’t happen to be unable to drive, do you?

─Kate: Of course not. Should I drive first?

Then Kate’s face is shown in close-up.

Her dark circles make her look like a panda.

-You can tell they’re fucking exhausted lol

-Hahahaha why are you so cute

-Hahahaha

-Look at her being stubborn

─Seol Ha-woon: ….

Seol Ha-woon’s face looking at her is also shown in close-up.

His expression shows disbelief.

─Seol Ha-woon: I’ll drive first. We probably need to drive for 12 more hours to reach our destination, so sleep for 6 hours.

─Kate: Okay.

Kate quickly reclines her seat. She clears her throat awkwardly and mutters.

─Kate: …Simulation and actual combat are quite different.

─Seol Ha-woon: Simulations exclude human malice. You don’t need to be too discouraged. Experience will naturally accumulate.

That’s Seol Ha-woon’s answer.

Human malice.

Seol Ha-woon must be someone who has seen the ‘end’ of that.

─Kate: I wonder….

Kate falls fast asleep, and Seol Ha-woon steps on the accelerator.

Doomsday D-6

The subtitle appears large.

But soon, the sound of a clock goes tick── tick── as.

Doomsday D-6

Doomsday D-7

It goes back to the starting point.

Some ‘pod’ in the bunker fills the screen.

─Seol Ha-woon: ──-!

The lid opens and Seol Ha-woon awakens.

─Seol Ha-woon: Haa, haa….

He breathes heavily and walks outside.

─Seol Ha-woon: …Walking?

He blinks while looking at himself walking on two legs.

-This is kind of sad.

-But what..

-This labyrinth is really fucked up in many ways

-It seems to be based on the doppelganger labyrinth. Look it up on wiki. It’s fucking sad.

─Seol Ha-woon: Bunker….

Clone Seol Ha-woon goes through almost the same process as the real Seol Ha-woon.

He looks at the full-length mirror on the wall. He’s wearing pure white training clothes. Different from the real Seol Ha-woon. Naturally, because he’s a clone.

There’s also a closet near him.

The moment he opens it.

─Seol Ha-woon: …Ha.

He lets out a hollow laugh looking at the neatly hung military uniform.

But his choice is different from Seol Ha-woon’s.

He willingly puts on the military uniform and goes upstairs.

There are various liquids and syringes in the gym.

[Mana Steroid]

■ When injected into the body, it enhances physical abilities for a short time. The effect gradually disappears over 720 hours, but there are no side effects.

─Seol Ha-woon: ….

He injects the steroid into his body. Then he steps onto the treadmill.

Running with both feet seems awkward, but he runs – bounce bounce bounce bounce. He bounces his feet and steps forward with both legs.

Bounce bounce bounce bounce bounce.

His speed gradually increases, and after a brief edit.

Thump thump thump thump thump thump thump──—!

He runs so fast that the treadmill starts smoking.

-No, fuck, that’s way too radical lol

-Wow his running form is fucking cool too

-Is this a treadmill commercial? lololol

-Even his running looks cinematic

Nutrition, cardio, weights, adequate sleep. His repetitive routine continues in short sequences.

Creak.

He ties his walker’s knots. He neatly adjusts his military uniform. He slings a duffel bag over his shoulder. He puts on a gas mask.

After taking one look around the bunker, he comes up to the surface.

Whooooosh──!

The camera captures his back being scattered by the sandstorm.

-The steroid effect is insane

-His body is getting bigger right away?

-Muscle memory + steroid combo lololol

-Well, I heard Seol Ha-woon was muscular back in his active days.

-Wow.. I’m really fucking excited for Bok Mal-ol

-If that guy’s a villain, this labyrinth is really screwed lololol

Walking on two legs, he’s definitely gotten bigger than the original Seol Ha-woon.

THE HOWDY GRIL

Crackle crackle-

The restaurant’s neon sign sparkling with sparks.

This time it’s the real Seol Ha-woon. Definitely more frail compared to Soldier Seol Ha-woon.

─Old Man : Those bastards are after this.

The old man shows him the treasure hidden in the restaurant basement. A boat and a map.

─Old Man : You know that Space Z’s headquarters was in Texas, right.

─Seol Ha-woon : Yes.

─Old Man : There’s a rocket there that can go up to the moon. But that whole area is flooded, so you can’t get there without taking a boat.

The old man strokes the boat while tearing up.

─Old Man : I was going to leave with my wife, but….

Unable to continue his words, he lets out a sigh.

─Old Man : Can you help me get revenge?

─Seol Ha-woon : Of course.

Seol Ha-woon nods. The old man also grits his teeth with a determined face.

─Old Man : Those bastards will come when day breaks. They don’t have much time left either.

-If there are two Seol Ha-woons, he’s really a screen time massacrer lol

-According to spoilers, the screen time should obviously be fucking long

-But I really don’t know how it’ll turn out

-Release this as a movie

-The interest in Silt is insane right now lololol seems like 30% of the world’s population is watching

The posts going up on SNS are incredible. Not just Korea and Asia, but Europe, North America, South America, and Africa… Mitamnan is now a continental-level syndrome.

─Seol Ha-woon : Don’t worry.

Seol Ha-woon goes up the stairs and stands on the building’s rooftop.

The sky gradually brightens.

Before long, there’s movement and quite a few enemies approach.

─Hey, old man! This is your last chance. We’ll just find another vehicle!

It’s dozens of armed raiders.

─See this?!

One guy comes forward shouting loudly. He’s the one with an anti-tank rocket on his shoulder.

─We’ll give you 30 minutes, so come out by then.

The old man responds with action instead of words. He throws a grenade from the restaurant.

Kaboooom!

The raiders let out hollow laughs at the explosion.

─…He won’t listen. Hey. Fuck him up.

Whooooosh!

The leader fires a missile first. The warhead flying with a white trajectory, however, stops right in front of Seol Ha-woon’s nose.

Seol Ha-woon looks down at the ground from the rooftop. The enemies discover him belatedly.

─…What’s with that cripple?

─Hey! Shoot that bastard! Shoot that bastard first!

They all fire their machine guns at once. Hundreds of gunshots rush forward, but they can’t reach Seol Ha-woon.

All the firearms lose their power and stop in front of him, in front of an invisible barrier. They freeze like iron filings drawn to a giant magnet.

─Seol Ha-woon : ….

Seol Ha-woon looks down at them. His gaze seems arrogant, but he doesn’t show off. He just lightly flicks his finger once.

Snap.

At that moment, the metals suspended in mid-air come to life.

The bullets all turn direction at once, returning toward the muzzles they came from.

Ratatatatata───-!

Hundreds of bullets flow backward. They pierce their former owners without the slightest error. Their screams mix thickly with the gunfire.

Seol Ha-woon stands alone watching that scene.

-What is he, Magneto?

-This is the real Seol Ha-woon

-They’re completely different;;

-The difference of one leg is this big?

The real Seol Ha-woon and clone Seol Ha-woon are strangely different.

-But why are they so different.

-Clone Seol Ha-woon starts with 0 magic power, while real Seol Ha-woon starts with full magic power, so that’s probably why

-Their sequence usage seems a bit different too

-If real Seol Ha-woon had legs, wouldn’t he use both of those?

-He does have legs;

-Real Ha-woon has a walking stick

“Oh right. The walking stick.”

Seol Ha-woon’s walking stick is a precious item. You can tell just by how he always carries it around carefully.

Meanwhile, the old man comes up to the rooftop and asks Seol Ha-woon.

─Old Man : …Where did you come from?

The old man seems amazed by Seol Ha-woon.

Seol Ha-woon doesn’t answer the old man’s question, but instead makes a proposal.

─Seol Ha-woon : Would you like to come with me?

Seol Ha-woon’s rare recruiting. But the old man just smiles.

─Old Man : It’s fine. I plan to meet a proper end here.

A proper end. Seol Ha-woon repeats the old man’s words and lets out a light sigh.

-The scene is beautiful.

-Do the Seol Ha-woons actually meet though?

-Fuck, my heart keeps pounding even while watching

-Both Kennedy Space Center and Space Z official accounts are tweeting lolol

Clone Seol Ha-woon is at Kennedy Space Center in Florida.

Real Seol Ha-woon is at Space Z headquarters in Texas.

Both Seol Ha-woons have set their destinations.

Thanks to this, America went crazy saying their country is the stage.
