episode_0058
by fnovelpiaI thought my hand was going to get cut off.
No, if I had done it wrong, my hand could have really been blown off.
I was so surprised that my body froze and couldn’t even react.
“What are you doing?”
I forced myself to lower my voice, which was about to rise, and looked at the girl who suddenly appeared.
“Sorry, sorry…sorry.”
Then, she looked at me with a frightened look, not at all like the one she had just shown me when she broke the gun.
I thought to myself that maybe I had pushed myself too hard because I was so surprised.
“..What would have happened if you had gotten hurt?”
I almost got hurt..
Squeak…
I changed my voice back to affectionate and stroked her head.
Then, a girl started rubbing against my body, shaking like a puppy.
“Hi,Hipp…Hipp…”
“I was surprised and did that. I’m sorry for getting angry.”
I patted her for a moment.
“Sorry, I’m sorry.. Next time I won’t jump in front of the gun.. Hehe..”
“Yes..”
If possible, don’t tear the gun apart with your hands…
Although he was now crying and writhing in my arms, he was actually a walking weapon.
‘hmm…’
I thought I had to raise him well so that he wouldn’t go astray later.
At least don’t attack me.
I hugged the girl tighter and stronger.
“..So why did you jump in?”
“Oh, that’s right..”
Let’s take a moment to let my body be covered in saliva and tears.
The girl sniffled, then opened her eyes wide and looked at me.
“Yeon-gook-won A-jji…I’m the only one…But, the person who looks at me like that…”
“Betrayal.. No, was the researcher a good man to you?”
“The train that sticks to you..ha, but it’s a car better than other cars..”
“Test subject, stop..!!”
“Shh.”
Traitor 1, who tried to stop the girl.
Although I felt a little uneasy, I stopped him and listened to the girl’s words.
“How are you nicer than other uncles?”
“Um…you don’t say bad things to me…you don’t even hit me…”
“And?”
“Um…”
A girl who pauses for a moment, lost in thought, at my question.
I sat her on my lap and stroked her hair affectionately.
“Ah! You guys always do weird things! Help me with that too..”
“Test subject! Stop!!”
Traitor 1 was startled by the girl’s words and jumped up from his spot.
“Something weird?”
“..Rice, it’s nothing. So..”
“The guys I dealt with were talking… and their eyes were dizzy… but Yeongguwon’s head was like, “Wow!” again..!!”
“You really!”
The girl lifted her head from my arms and stuck her tongue out.
..I get the general idea of the situation.
“You de-brainwashed this guy?”
“What, what! That’s not it!! I don’t have anything to gain by releasing him!! And the brainwashing was done on his own! If I was going to release him, I would have released him a long time ago and helped him!”
“Even if you were to brainwash them, you would do it to the bare minimum. So that they can release you and escape at any time, of their own free will.”
“I said no?!”
Traitor 1, with his eyes shaking violently as if in confusion.
I took a sip of the already cold coffee he handed me.
“If you were going to help, why didn’t you just release all the brainwashing? Why did you make it ambiguous?”
It’s simple.
“Because I thought that was the best you could do.”
“What did you say?”
“It might be dangerous to help directly, and I feel nervous to just leave it alone.”
That is why I showed such ambiguous kindness.
If it’s to the extent that it weakens the hypnosis, it’s easy to avoid responsibility.
You can keep your place, and still find comfort in a little goodwill.
“You are not a sage.”
You too, and me too.
If you were a sage, you should be a hero. Why are you a villain?
And not only us, but the majority of all people are not good people.
“But it’s not like I have no conscience.”
Just because someone is not a good person doesn’t mean they are necessarily a bad person.
Even if he is a villain, it doesn’t mean he has no conscience.
The result that came out like that is this ambiguous goodwill.
“You want to avoid a situation where you get hurt, but your conscience is too prickly to ignore, so you helped in this way, right?”
“……”
A traitor who keeps his mouth shut at my words and looks at the floor.
After a while, he sighed and slumped back into his chair.
“Haa..That’s right, ambiguous goodwill. Another word for it is hypocrisy.”
“I think it’s natural.”
You don’t want to get hurt, but you also want to look good.
If that sense is loose, it is morality; if it is thorough, it is law.
The vast majority of all human beings live like that.
Unless you’re a big-headed hero, everyone lives like that.
“Is there really a problem? We’re villains.”
“..Villain. Yeah, that’s right.”
Why would a villain care about this?
Rather, it was more disgusting that the villain was like this.
“…So, what are you going to do with me?”
“Originally I was planning to kill you..”
I pointed my gun at traitor 1.
Okay then.
“Ju, kill and blindfold! Blindfold..!”
A girl with claws raised and a gun in her hand.
Kagak… Kagak…
“…As you can see, this is the situation.”
Sparks were flying from the girl’s forelegs and the gun.
To be honest, I was a little scared, but I couldn’t show it…
“What would you like to do?”
I carefully wiped away the tears of the girl who was shedding tears.
“If you want to process..”
“Ah, blindfold!!”
Kwajik!!
“Even if Ajigae is bad! It’s not like I’m going to kill him!!”
“…Okay.”
Yeah, I won’t process it.
I put down the gun, leaving only the handle.
“Are you going to save me? Just because a child says something without knowing what’s going on?”
“I left my choice up to this person. If this child doesn’t want it, I have to respect that choice.”
When I think back to when he and Traitor 1 first met, he only got angry verbally but didn’t really attack or anything.
Since strength is a big deal, if he really hated it, he would have attacked, but considering he didn’t attack.
In the end, it was clear that this child did not truly hate Traitor 1.
“I killed a lot of people. That kid was just helping me to relieve the guilt that had built up over time.”
“What does it matter?”
Again, we are the villains.
The ones who kill the most people are villains.
“And this is simply greed for talent.”
A person who became a senior researcher at Z-Bio at a young age.
And if you take on a main project, you have to be a talented person.
In addition, he is a person who has taken intensive care of the girl.
If he were her, he would be able to know in detail about her health and the condition of her body.
“Please work for our organization.”
“Atoning by saving as many people as you killed, something like that?”
“What right do I have to do that?”
No, that’s not it.
Saying things like “atone for your sins by letting others live as much as you killed” is all nonsense.
In the first place, the person who killed and the person who saved life were separate entities, so I don’t understand how that can be considered atonement.
“And again, we are villains. It’s weird to care about that.”
I drank the remaining coffee in my hand and put it down on the desk.
That’s what I wanted to say in the end.
“Work until you die.”
Then at least, we can save several companions who will fall into hell together.
“Oh, those are cruel words.”
Traitor who snickers at my words1.
The guy also emptied the last of his coffee and soon grabbed my hand.
“Okay, let’s work ourselves to death in your organization.”
***
Boom boom-!
“Are you okay?”
“Yes, yes..!”
After the conversation with Traitor 1.
Kang Ian walked down the hallway, holding the girl in his arms.
Boom boom boom-!
The girl perks up her big ears and wags her tail, seemingly happy that the researcher isn’t dead.
“But please, from now on, don’t hold on to my gun too tightly or jump in front of the gun barrel. You might get hurt.”
“Yes…I’m sorry…”
Squeak…
The girl who was once again hit hard by Kang Ian’s admonition.
But it wasn’t like I hated him or anything.
‘Chakan person…’
I could really feel his genuine concern.
‘Different from other guys..’
Thanks to the developed senses from the gazes and experiments she had received since she was a baby, the girl could tell whether the object in front of her had malicious intentions toward her or not.
When she felt that way, Kang Ian was a little different from others.
He didn’t care about his ears and tail, which others called a hybrid and found disgusting.
‘You don’t even hit me… You just frown at me…’
The girl stroked the bandage that had been wrapped around her.
It was the first positive favor she had ever received since she was born.
Traitor 1 only helped indirectly and didn’t even wrap things like bandages, so he was the only one who offered this kind of proper favor.
“You.”
“Woong..?”
A girl who answers Kang Ian’s call in a dazed manner.
Kang Ian patted the girl’s back with an affectionate hand.
“This is just a simple curiosity, but why did you ask me to raise it?”
“Keywords..?”
“We are meeting for the first time in a way, so I am curious about what you believe in and ask me to raise you.”
Why did you ask me to raise it..?
The girl thought deeply with a hazy mind.
“Well…I’m writing this because it’s fun to do…”
“Is it fun?”
Just before the brainwashing in the slums began to wear off, a voice was heard.
‘Do, Do-ryeong, what should I do!!’
‘Calm down a bit..’
‘Fucked!!! Some crazy bastard here killed a guy!!’
‘no..’
‘How am I going to find the information I wanted so badly!! Oh my gosh!! Oh my gosh… Aaah!!’
‘Please!! I told you to be quiet!!’
I don’t know what they’re talking about, but it’s a different atmosphere from the lab where I’ve always been so intimidated.
It looked free.
And it looked fun and exciting.
That’s why the girl set out to find Kang Ian.
“And…”
“And?”
I also heard a voice in my head.
I..
If you follow this person…
Chijik-
I thought I could fulfill my ‘role’…
“……”
“Excuse me?”
“Koooo..Koooo…”
“Are you sleeping..”
Kang Ian sighed softly and patted her back.
“..It’s a bit weird to keep calling you “you”, so maybe I should give you a name.”
‘…Early?’
A voice heard as my mind gradually became clouded.
At that voice, the girl hugged Kang Ian.
My name too..
..lol.
With that memory, the girl fell into a deep sleep.
