Heinrich’s Law

Also known as the so-called 1:29:300 rule, this law serves as a warning against safety negligence.

It suggests that before a single catastrophe occurs, there are 300 warning signs and 29 minor accidents. In other words, major accidents do not happen by mere coincidence—they emerge as a result of repeated minor incidents.

As I listened to Kim Da-bin’s report, I let out a small sigh and spoke.

"You're saying this is already the 31st case like Kim Myung-hwan's?"

"Yes."

There had already been more than 30 cases of individuals sustaining severe injuries after encountering monsters immune to firearms.

Just as the law's numbers suggested, when considering only cases where monsters were impervious to bullets, the total had already exceeded several hundred.

This was a very ominous sign.

As I wore a serious expression, the people gathered in the meeting room began to sense the tension.

To ease the stiff atmosphere, I asked in the softest voice possible.

"Why is that? If these dangerous monsters are near the safe zone, our retainers should be hunting them down every day."

Kim Da-bin responded.

"The only reason we haven't had any fatalities is thanks to the efforts of our retainers. With the increasing number of people participating in the front lines, the frequency of accidents has been decreasing, which is a meaningful trend."

In other words, if not for the retainers, there would have already been casualties.

"…I don’t understand. If these monsters were deemed a threat, they should have already been dealt with."

Seo Ye-jin, who could conduct extensive searches using rodents, and Yoo Han-gil, who had clairvoyance, had been working together to identify threats. The retainers then intercepted those threats, effectively sweeping through the Seoul area.

On top of that, after the Ice Dragon's appearance, even the weaker monsters had been wiped out, significantly reducing the overall danger level—or so I thought.

Even after that, I had instructed the retainers to patrol the zones and eliminate any remaining threats.

Yet, it seemed that still wasn’t enough.@@novelbin@@

"It is suspected that the cause is the monster respawn phenomenon."
