Hiding the Logistics Center in the Apocalypse Episode 174
Jangdok (3)
The search continued for a long time.
An economic prison camp of by no means small size.
The Arcane wizards constantly cast searching spells to search every room, not to mention the buildings and hallways.
The prisoners were kept locked in their cells all the time.
Wizards busily move around the cells, their robes fluttering.
As time passed and there was no progress, even the prisoners were becoming frustrated.
“Hey, aren’t you going to give me some food?”
“Oh, that’s not how you hunt for treasure.”
“Shut up! You criminal bastards dare to…”
At the inmates' jeers, Franco lost his temper.
He had been forced into the camp under the belief that Robreto's body would be there.
But rather than finding the body, the world's greatest Arcane was being ridiculed by criminals.
“Did I overstate it? But… clearly, there is no other place….”
The signal neither dispersed nor moved away.
It suddenly broke off in front of this concentration camp.
There was no other way to explain it other than that it had been moved inside.
The most realistic inference that can be made rationally.
I wondered if I should even doubt that kind of reasoning…
“Mr. Franco!”
He was soon able to smile.
Additional clues came flying in like a gift.
Franco quickly moved, his coat tails fluttering, and discovered a hidden passage leading into the third floor of the prison cell.
“Here?”
“It seems there is a space we don’t know about. Thanks to the subtle signals detected here…”
The wizards retreated at Franco's appearance.
And in that place, a tiny piece of bone was lying on the floor.
“This is······.”
Franco's hands trembled as if he dared not touch it.
This time he used his telekinesis to raise the bone fragments in front of his eyes.
He slowly turned the tiny bone the size of a finger…
“This···this is crazy······!”
I was suddenly overcome with anger.
Roberto's small bones were cut in sharp sections.
That definitely meant that someone had mutilated the corpse of an Arcane noble, and for personal gain.
There was nothing to be hesitant about now.
A tiny piece of bone that could easily be missed.
No matter how I looked at it, it was clear that it had been accidentally dropped during transport.
And the destination is······.
“···Is this the inside?”
It had to be a hidden room at the end of the corridor.
Not only was it the location where the bones were discovered, but it was also the only space that the wizards had yet to search.
Just as I was about to take brisk steps,
“F, Franco! Why are you doing this!”
Someone came running out of the blue and blocked his path.
None other than the director of this economic criminal camp.
He had maintained his composure while searching through the camp, but when Franco headed towards the hidden room, he ran in panic.
“You seem quite confused, camp commander.”
“Mr. Franco!”
Franco smiled slyly.
The look on the camp commander's face, bewildered, seemed to tell him the answer.
In this small room, the secret surrounding Roberto's bones would be hidden intact.
of course······.
“There is a magical tool inside that suppresses the power of the prisoners. It is such a serious secret that even telling Mr. Franco about it would be a punishment. If the magical tool is damaged by any chance…”
Everyone has a story.
A false story to hide the truth.
For Franco, who had faced all the facts, the camp commander's belatedly embellished words sounded laughable.
“I didn’t know something so important was in there. Is there a space that not even a baby ant can fit in?”
“That’s right. It’s a place that even I’m forbidden to enter. So···.”
“That would have been a perfect place to hide Roberto’s body.”
“F, Franco!”
The camp commander grabbed Franco by the hem of his clothes.
But Franco roughly pushed the camp commander away and continued on his way.
“Shouldn’t we just be careful about that magic tool or something? Let’s see, is what’s inside that magic tool or something you mentioned, or is it Roberto’s corpse…?”
Franco grabbed the doorknob.

But perhaps because it had been frozen for a long time, it didn't move at all.
He snickered, saying he uses all sorts of tricks.
Then, using his telekinesis, he forcibly pulled down the doorknob.
Kick!
The door opened with a creepy hinge sound······.
"huh?"
A huge explosion struck.
***
Pfft …
As Buendia said, everything happened in an instant.
As Franco opened the door with great pride, the magic tool exploded.
“······??”
Wizards and guards engulfed in white smoke.
The loud noise was colorless, and I only inhaled a smoky cloud of smoke without any significant impact······.
“Po, it’s a riot!”
The real explosion happened elsewhere.
The prisoners' tattoos were erased, and the restrictions that had been restricting their awakening abilities were slowly lifted.
The prisoners noticed this and started to run wild and escape the guards' control.
Kiririririririk···.
Buendia's room also underwent changes.
The iron bars had a magical circuit running through them to strengthen the flesh, and Buendia reversed the circuit, bending the bars into the shape of the letter '亞'.
“Okay, grab it!”
The guards were running around with magic staffs to catch him, but…
“Stay there.”
“Ugh!?”
It was like riding a treadmill, I suddenly started running in place and couldn't close the distance.
It was the result of Buendia manipulating their consciousness on the spot.
Of course, not everything could be resolved easily.
The guards in the prison ward are auxiliary forces with no significant fighting power.
The real power was in the guards outside the camp.
“Catch them all!”
They were wearing combat gear with a blue tint all over their bodies.
Each and every one of them is a magical tool infused with higher-level technology.
The vests were equipped with a dozen or so pieces of capturing equipment, including throwing nets and baited traps, and the guards launched a large-scale siege operation, aiming electrified batons and revolvers loaded with special bullets.
Dadadak!
The sound of the guards' boots broke through the chaos in the camp.
Push-type tear gas canisters exploded, and the thumping sound of the vibrating drum tormented the prisoners' eardrums.
Forced repression in the event of a large-scale emergency.
In an unprecedented situation, the camp authorities took out all their weapons without any mercy······.
“Oh my, it’s been a while since I’ve done this so I can’t control my strength.”
“Back in my day, I would sneak into a brokerage building by myself…”
“So this is the extreme of the unconscious, and then it moves on to the extreme of self-consciousness···.”
The prisoners were all villains whose names had been revealed to the multidimensional world.
Even though it was half a tall tale, half of the rumors were true.
“Whoaaaaah!”
The guards who had been rushing forward, stomping their feet, were turned over and hung on the ceiling.
The capture net swayed like a hammock, caught on the sapling summoned by the spirit master prisoner, and the prisoner with inflated body and monstrous strength diligently searched for the guards, breaking the magic staffs they held one by one into the shape of an 'L'.
The overwhelming force of the prisoners who have regained their power.
If they wanted, they could have easily killed the guards and even the prison warders, but they didn't do that to the prisoners.
“No hard feelings, guards.”
Because all they wanted was freedom, not slaughter.
The Chamber of Commerce also coined the term "multi-dimensional villain."
In reality, all of these people were just 'economic criminals' who were imprisoned for standing up to the tyranny of the Chamber of Commerce.
“Thank you for everything.”
Swish! Swish!
The blond inmate who had offered Buendia a game of ball threw a thick disc ring.
A concentrated form of energy created through awakening abilities.
Shuhwaaaaah!
Disc rings flew all over the prison cell, instantly catching guards by their wrists and ankles.
Afterwards, they were attached to the wall and held tightly like handcuffs or shackles.
It was a prison cell where the positions of the prisoners and guards were completely opposite······.
“You scumbags… how dare you…!”
There were still some Arcane wizards left.
Most of them were apprentice wizards wearing white robes, but there were three blue wizards, including Franco.
Kookookookook···.
Franco displayed his psychic powers with a shout.
The surrounding objects rose into the sky with the rippling vibrations, and the two remaining blue magicians who had caused the explosion at the entrance prepared new magic by stamping white chalk into the air.
“···Is it a bit dangerous?”
The intention was to make a big splash.
The apprentice wizards were retreating and creating multiple barriers.
It seemed as if he was trying to protect himself, not having the discretion to dare to interfere with the magic of the blue wizards.
Wheeeeeeeeeeeeee······.
What Franco lifted up was a magic tool that the guards were wearing.
Sometimes they would be lifted up whole wearing combat vests, but Franco would brush them away as if it was annoying and just pick out the magic tools in the vest and lift them into the air.
All the various things gathered in this way···.
Crunch! Crunch!
It lost its shape and began to form a ball in the air.
It looks like that's how Franco uses his telekinesis magic.
As if to assist with the impact, the other two wizards were also diligently drawing additional explosive magic with chalk.
but···.
“All you can do with telekinesis is throw a bunch of poop… You really are a childish person.”
Buendia walked leisurely in front of Franco.
With his long beard hanging down and his collar fluttering.
Perhaps because the sight was so relaxed, Franco let out a dumbfounded voice.
"you···?"
“A wizard who doesn’t know Buendia… It seems I’ve been locked up for a long time.”
Franco holding up all kinds of magical tools.
And two blue wizards holding white chalk.
But Buendia just waved his empty hands before his eyes.
“All relationships in the world are two-way. What I do to others can always come back to me in the same way. I don’t know if you’ll have a chance to ponder this…”
"what···?"
Franco was piling up spells with wizards.
When he questioned Buendia's witty words…
“Have a nice trip.”
Pick!
Pfft …
The magic built up layer by layer finally unleashed its power.
Not to the prisoners, but to the wizards themselves.
Because the only thing Buendia changed was the direction.
The Arcane wizards were swept away all the way to the wall, and the black marks from the explosion spread across the floor and walls like long bloodstains.
It was a huge explosion, but it did not reach the prisoners or guards.
Thanks to Buendia's careful planning of the explosion's path.
“Whew!”
“Black Magic Grandpa~!”
The inmates cheered enthusiastically for his performance.
The discus ring thrown high into the sky exploded like a firecracker, and everyone laughed heartily as they enjoyed the freedom that came to them like a gift.
Meanwhile···.
“Buendia···!”
Someone came running out of the crowd of prisoners, out of breath.
None other than the director of this economic criminal camp.
He tried to persuade the prisoners until the very end.
“Please stop… Even if you climb over that wall, where on earth would you go? As you know, this is an artificial planet created by the Chamber of Commerce. There is nothing around, and even if you leave, you will be quickly pursued…! If you surrender now, I will ask for leniency from my superiors….”
“······.”
Buendia was silent for a long time.
Although he had been fighting the Chamber of Commerce his entire life, he had no personal ill feelings toward the camp director.
but···.
“Director, if a person lives life with sincerity, at the end of it all… it seems like someone will come to greet them.”
“Buendia···?”
Jeeeeeeing!
A blue glow appeared on their faces.
A large subspace portal opened before my eyes.
Now that the imprints that had been restraining the prisoners had been removed, all that remained was to get them out through the subspace portal.
So Buendia···.
“Take care.”
I welcomed the next phase of my life.
