[I will end your miserable life.]

If the experiment is successful, he will become a capable person.

Even if you fail, you die.

As the doctor said, Hyeji’s life seemed to have changed greatly.

In fact, from the moment she opened her eyes, everything began to change.

During the week of monitoring the prognosis of the experiment, Hye-ji met with Hyeok-su every day and received some kind of counseling.

Hyuksu is a military captain who rarely appears in front of civilians.

The first question he asked was somewhat surprising.

“Do you believe in fate?”

“…Yes?”

What a sudden fate.

What kind of ghostly cleansing noise is this?

Looking at Hye-ji, who was dumbfounded and had a strange expression on her face, Hyeok-soo began his long speech.

“I am a horse, I believe in fate.”

There was nothing special that made him believe in fate.

One day, just for fun, he saw Saju, and the mechanic who saw him described it as a sign that he would soon become king, which was the reason.

“The man who will become king. Aren’t these words that warm your heart?”

“…Is that so?”

A man who already enjoys power equivalent to the king of this group.

There seemed to be a little bit of trust in Hyuksu’s words about fate.

‘…I guess it’s just a superstition.’

Hyeji also thought what an ordinary modern person would do,

Hyuksu nodded as if it was obvious and continued speaking.

“There is power in faith.”

I could feel the faith and strength, the deep sincerity contained in each heavy word that was uttered.

“Miss Hyeji, what is the reason why Hyeji’s experiment was successful?”

“…well, ”

“Because I was chosen.”

I was chosen.

Hyuksu’s words were sweet.

At first, Hyeji was dumbfounded.

Was he selected after forcibly capturing people and experimenting on them?

Who decides that?

What if I failed? Are you saying I was the type of person who would turn into a zombie and die like that?

But as the counseling continued, those feelings began to fade little by little.

You are different from others.

Better.

I became a different person from the start.

The anger of being forced to experiment with sweet words that awakened my self-esteem, which had hit rock bottom, disappeared like melting snow.

‘that’s right. It’s true that I have become a capable person. Even everyone else failed, right?’

The fact that he was experimented on because he was unnecessary.

The lie that you were chosen.

The sweet side was fake, but she willingly swallowed it.

“Please continue to work hard for me.”

“Yes. Captain.”

She lived intoxicated with those words.

A hero who became powerful because he was more obedient to the military than anyone else.

A representative of successful civilians.

She became the object of envy among those around her and received many looks of envy.

Intoxicated by those eyes, he fought on the front line more than anyone else and won.

‘It was good… .’

The gaze of people who look up to them.

respect.

Marvel at the overwhelming presence.

These were clearly drug-like reactions that cannot be experienced by living a normal life.

It was sweet.

I wanted to be drunk for the rest of my life.

If only I could… .

*

“I liked those eyes.”

“Yes….good.”

Yeoreum spit out a word of sympathy at Hyeji’s words.

There was a time when Summer also seemed to be intoxicated with a bit of a sense of choice.

When we first met, we definitely said something similar.

He said he thought he had evolved and recognized himself as someone with abilities and as a special being.

If you think about it, I’m the same.

To become something special and different from others.

Thanks to that, all the love and envious looks I received were sweet.

In response, we increased the size of the group,

Because I started taking risks, fighting, and living harder than anyone else.

Are you getting fans?

It’s not a bad life, no, it’s quite an addictive life.

“But why is it unfair to be unfair?”

“Not now.”

Hyeji said those words and looked at the drone with an arrow stuck in it.

Well, if it had been treated well, it wouldn’t have been used for missions like reconnaissance with drones.

“After me, five more talented people were added. Everyone is even prettier and more handsome than me. As for people to use for promotional purposes… .”

“It means you were bullied.”

“…Similar.”

Anyway, the number of people with acquired abilities is smaller than expected.

There were only five people who even went so far as to conduct human experiments?

The number seemed too small to be an intention to prevent confusion.

It seems I wasn’t the only one who had that thought.

Yeoreum asked Hyeji straight away.

“But there are only five? I don’t think you’re lying…”

When I glanced at Baekhwa as if to confirm, Baekhwa nodded.

“I don’t think it’s a lie. My heart rate is constant and my body temperature is normal.”

“Oh~ You use your senses that way too? That’s amazing.”

“Ah….♡ Thank you.”

He praised Baekhwa and patted her head.

I was disappointed because my body was slow, but I was good at shooting a crossbow and even a lie detector?

This versatility deserves praise.

Hyeji added an answer to Yeoreum’s question.

“The blood of those with abilities is purified to make medicine, so medicine does not come out often.”

“Ah~ It’s made with blood. What is the success rate?”

“I don’t know, but I heard there are certain conditions. The success rate is quite high.”

Because blood is not infinite.

Unless you have the ability to regenerate like me, it would be difficult to draw blood all the time.

Just like I have immunity, do people with abilities also have some kind of backward compatibility?

It might be a simple difference in concentration.

I’m also a little curious about the conditions… .

Maybe I should see a doctor?

After that, the light-hearted interrogation continued.

“So what is the number of capable people in the military now?”

“28 people including me.”

“It’s more than you think? They say there are only five people with abilities created through experiments.”

“There are quite a few talented people who came over from Seoul. 18 people.”

Ah, I heard Seoul was destroyed… .

Their abilities must have increased, they seem to be ambitious.

Isn’t it when things that are unreasonable come together that causes the most trouble?

A total of 28 people.

It is said that the total number of existing talented people was 10, but it did not seem like the organization would be easily stabilized unless the group that joined was stronger than the existing group.

“It must be a mess.”

“… Well, the Seoul leader is wandering around here and there.”

“Really? What did they say?”

“He didn’t say anything, he just said hello and passed by… ?”

“Just a greeting?”

“Yes.”

Are you a person with less greed for power?

No, can such a person be a leader?

I thought it was interesting in many ways, but I ignored it.

“Oppa, can I ask you a question?”

“Of course.”

Yeoreum, who was in charge of my permission, asked Hyeji.

“…Do you know someone named Seo Ji-su?”

“I know.”

jisoo.

When the name of the woman whom Yeoreum thought of as her sister came up, Hyeji nodded as if it was obvious.

“This is the second person with changed abilities.”

“Really? I’m glad you’re alive… .”

After being told that she had become a talented person, Yeoreum seemed to have alleviated some of her immediate worries.

At least he didn’t die.

If so, rescue is possible.

Looking at you last time, you must have suffered quite a bit of humiliation… .

Well, it can’t be helped.

I gently squeezed Yeoreum’s hand and uttered just one word.

“Let’s go rescue.”

“…Yes.”

Hyeji, who heard our conversation, was startled and opened her eyes as wide as possible.

“Did you really intend to be hostile?”

“Then? I thought you were just saying this?”

“Of course. There are only 28 talented people?”

I lightly shrugged my shoulders.

“Only 28 people.”

“No, I know this girl is a little strong… but there is no business in Daguri.”

I shook my head as if to stop me from talking nonsense, but

Yeoreum denied those words instead.

“Oppa is a little different.”

“… Really?”

Hyeji did not believe in that belief as if it were a lover’s bean pod.

Well, you’ll believe it when you see it later.

“Oh, before I go, should I repay you too?”

“Repayment?”

Although there was a reason for my distrust and dissatisfaction with the military, it was of some help to me anyway.

The mindset of wanting to be envied by people was more correct than I thought,

If he survives, it would be good for a kid like this to survive.

“If you fight against a group of mutants, be careful.”

“…I don’t even know the location anyway.”

“Ah, I understand that, so I’ll take care anyway.”

“…Yes.”

Hyeji answered bluntly and got on the bike.

“Don’t puff out your ugly cheeks.”

“… Fuck you.”

He responded with a soft laugh to the softly spoken curse and waved his hand lightly.

“You are a better person than I thought.”

“No! If you’re going to curse, just curse, or if you’re going to praise, just praise… .”

Although he spoke bluntly, he didn’t seem particularly offended by the compliment.

I told you not to act cute,

Also, puffing up my cheeks… it’s a bit of a hassle, though.

Hyeji’s expression seemed a little brighter than before, perhaps thanks to freeing herself from the anger inside her.

*

“I went.”

“Uh. I went.”

Winter just watched quietly throughout the conversation.

Winter had a very serious expression on her face as she wondered what she was thinking.

“Why are you there again?”

“I just… thought it was a little similar.”

“What? With you?”

“Yes.”

Similar to winter…?

It’s not similar at all…?

First of all, there is a huge difference in appearance.

Honestly, even if I dressed her up as a woman, I think she would be prettier than me, right?

The body may be a bit lumpy, but it still looks better than being fat.

For a moment, I thought of Winter dressed as a woman and burst out laughing.

“Don’t talk nonsense, you’re really popular.”

“… Is that so?”

When I slapped his back and laughed, Winter also laughed.

“Don’t feel gloomy for no reason. I heard the drug has a high success rate, right? We need to quickly deal with the military and get treatment.”

“Yes!”

It was visible that he was filled with anticipation at the word “treatment.”

I don’t know what conditions mean, but the situation is not as bad as I thought.

If you combine my research results and my blood, something will come out.

“Not bad.”

Now we can find the white bones, and it might be dangerous if we give the military more time.

So, should we start soon?

Eeee.
