Chapter 1263: Poison (4)
Hwangmyeong Research Institute, Basement of Eungwang High
The Hwangmyeong Research Institute is located outside of Eungwang High’s grounds but is close to the research area of the school, so it is treated as part of the school’s facilities.
The reason the Hwangmyeong Research Institute is located outside of Eungwang High is said to be because they wanted to hire researchers instead of faculty members and operate the institute independently, separate from the school.
That might have been one of the reasons, but when considering the influence of the noble class, the reality seemed a little different.
‘It must be under the management of the noble class, but the reason it’s placed outside of the protective barrier close to the center of Shinyeok could be to deal with things they’d rather not have close by.’
Perhaps because of ominous legends tangled around it.
Maybe because there are legends of tigers being killed, which would be in opposition to the noble class.
Perhaps because it goes against the will of the celestial deities the noble class follows.
Or maybe simply because the noble class didn’t want to keep it close.
For whatever reason, things that were difficult to destroy, discard, or abandon ended up being kept at a distance in the Hwangmyeong Research Institute.
Of course, there were also subjects in the institute with normal research purposes, but they were in the minority.
The object we were about to inspect had already been involved in several incidents that threatened the safety of Eungwang High, but it was something that needed to be studied.
