Vivian returns to the den with such good news that it makes absolutely no sense.

Even though I couldn’t see it with my own eyes, the fact that she had used Nemea to defeat fifteen men left me in a festive mood for a while.

Of course, since Vivian is a student who received a good education at the academy, you may think that this is natural…

Anyway, I guess I have to have a stake in it.

It was as if I wondered if this was how a father felt as he looked at his daughter who was taking care of herself after raising her.

In any case, it is important that the product I design performs as intended.

‘This means that the evolution method that goes against Enic’s physiology is also valid… !!

Then, if we find a way to apply this in another way… For sure… !!’

Nemea was the product of a coincidence created while doing some research on the current world.

‘Just as the knights of Groden wear armor, wouldn’t it be possible to have the women of our colony wear bio-type armor?’

Just as construction sites have safety shoes and safety gear, soldiers have bulletproof hats and bulletproof vests, and knights have body armor.

Especially in this world where battles are likely to occur, armor could be seen as the basis of protection in a sense.

– Biological carapace composition. Inefficient. Needs room for improvement.

Excessive neuronal differentiation. Upper density is a mess.

Lack of own technology. Lack of experience. We will deploy the necessary personnel.

‘You’re feeding me now… ?

These kids may not actually be Parastas… … ‘

At first, there was a plan to make thick armor with the teeth of kernel worms, which are as hard as diamonds…

However, perhaps because it was so frustrating to see my sloppy and sloppy work that only failed, it unintentionally continued to develop due to the intervention of parastars who complained.

Parastars who precisely combined the bodies, nervous systems, and materials of the various colony members that had appeared so far.

There was something they created in the end, and that was the prototype of ‘Nemea’.

‘It looks like a slug, this thing…’ … ‘

If we had to be honest, it looks unreasonably similar to the slimes and water jellies of this world, but let’s unify them as slugs for now.

‘What is this… protection…?’

Nemea, which was overall black in color, was a parasite that lived on the host’s body.

It hides as if it is a parasite in the host’s body, and when it detects a physical crisis by detecting sudden changes in the host’s biological signals, it escapes from the parasitic area and begins to protect its host.

The characteristic of these creatures, which allow them to breathe by digging shallowly into the flesh and exposing part of their body, was that they were able to inflict pain on the host by digging into the flesh during the parasitism process.

However, the ability to melt and reconstruct the Parastars’ flesh made it possible to eliminate the pain from the process of digging out the flesh in the first place.

‘If it hurts, it’s no use.

After all, I’m glad I have Parasta.’

Also, since it was a parasitic part of a pale thing that looked like a black lump stuck in its chest when it was just put in, if you lightly covered it with pre-excavated flesh in various shapes, a beautiful and clean textured pattern was added, as if it were a black tattoo.

‘When Nemea leaves, the empty space looks a little disgusting…

If you always wear it, that won’t happen…

Even if you lose it completely, you just have to fill it back with Parastars… ‘

So, a beautiful tattoo that looks a little shiny on the outside becomes a reliable armor in a crisis situation.

After creating the Nemea prototype and adding a function that could function as clothing, I gave it to Vivian as a gift.

‘thank you… I will cherish it… !!’

‘I’m not giving it to you to keep… … ?’

In fact, even if you are naked, you can summon clothes at any time, and in case of emergency, it even serves as armor.

Therefore, I thought that Vivian, who is always busy and willing to take on dangerous tasks, might need it.

In fact, I think it would be too much of a waste if I said that the idea of the skinny appearance and the painful process of parasitism were all ideas that came from Vivian.

‘First of all, there is a process of trial and error in the beginning!!

I’m Enic too!! Enic!! Is it possible to always be perfect? !!’

However, Nemea was able to improve thanks to Vivian, who spoke of improvements without making a fuss, so I thought that I should one day give her the best Nemea with a grateful heart.

Anyway, how many days have it been since I handed her the Nemea prototype?

You can say that you are lucky at the right time, or that it is bad that you have something to write about.

The incident that would test Nemea’s performance occurred as part of an armed conflict between cartels, in the form of an attack on Changgwan.

Giving the prototype to Vivian first before planting Nemea on Ranie turned out to be a good choice in the end.

‘It has been confirmed that the performance is reliable…’

Even the Nemea that Vivian had was a completely early prototype.

Unlike Ranie’s Nemea, which could not be compared to ‘Geumun’ but was developed as much as ‘Hahyeon’, it was actually only developed to a level halfway between ‘Choseung’ and ‘Sanghyeon’, and to be honest, it was at the level of a toy.

But isn’t it amazing that it can produce results like this?

If a fully developed product is used, what level of performance can it achieve?

“But… … ”

Vivian’s face suddenly turned red, and I could only lower my head without knowing what to say.

“In the presence of other people…

that… … What I do is… It’s a bit… …

that… I know it can’t be helped, but… … ”

Nemea is literally armor, but its essence is a parasite.

Just like the ‘spider’ that needs to be recharged periodically, Nemea ultimately has to get its nutrients replenished from somewhere.

I thought that because they adopted the digestive system and recharge method of a ‘spider’, they ended up getting nutrients by drinking body fluids.

At the very least, the kernel worms also received nutrients by digging up the soil, and the parastas seemed to obtain nutrients directly in some way by coming into contact with the females during the experiment.

So, I thought it might be possible to change the way we obtain nutrients like those guys, or make it significantly more efficient.

‘It’s like storing nutrients consistently before using them…’

I just plan the idea, and the parastars will take care of the rest… … ?’

A beautiful world conceived by Moondori and realized by Gongdori.

‘Am I going to make it come true? !!’

Just like that, the evil laughing pheromone of Enic, a vicious business owner who scolds his subordinates with an unexpected sense of joy, was spreading throughout the lair.

.

.

A dark room reminiscent of an interrogation room.

Sitting in a huddle across a long banquet table, about 10 men with the grim look of gangsters, thugs, and gangsters sat quietly without saying a word to each other, looking like they were waiting for someone.

And not long after, a young man appeared as the door opened, with his butt pressed against the head of the table and his legs crossed.

At first glance, he has an ordinary face, but if you look closely, he has a rather youthful appearance.

Is this something that is beautiful only when you look at it closely, and lovely only when you look at it for a long time?

“Are you here!! Brother!!”

“Okay. Strange things… will happen.”

Anyway, even though he would have been comfortably cleaning the front of the building with a broom, he didn’t seem to like the fact that something had happened that required him to be here.

Swallow, who was looking at the men in the room with a slightly stiff expression, was starting to get excited about the first question.

“What is the damage? Is it severe for many people?”

“ Fortunately, the gambling hall was pushed out at about the halfway point…

Unfortunately, one of our main businesses, a bar, went bankrupt.

Plus, the wine bottle I kept there…

shit… Terra guys… … !!

Someday, I’ll cut the bone and use it as a drink… !!”

“I will peel off the skin and scoop out the raw fish, layer by layer, until it dries!!”

“Cancer!! How dare you touch someone!!”

Terra is one of about 20 cartels in the back alleys.

Although it was not a large-scale cartel like the Deckard Cartel or the Lalatina Cartel, they were even more interested in increasing their power.

When they took advantage of a dispute in a back alley to invade their own cartel, their indignant subordinates were crying out for bloody revenge.

However, his eyes seemed to be looking somewhere else, towards the dimly lit candles on the wall.

He then raised his hand to silence the audience and began to ask questions to his subordinates who were to report in a calm voice.

“What about Chang Gwan? Is it really the same as what I heard?”

“Yes? Yeah… !! That’s right!!

As for Changgwan, except that they came in by kicking down the door…

Changgwan believes that the damage was limited to the lobby area, so it was almost non-existent…

That blue bitch… … Breathe… bird… The person in charge… … ”

When the subordinate inadvertently mentioned Vivian’s nickname and a rumor about her came to mind, the swallow nodded, resting his chin on his subordinate who changed his words out of fear of being dishonest.

“That’s right… … Hmm… …

The bar will recover quickly with the sales it has made so far.

Of course, it’s a waste of all the money I’ve saved, but I can’t help it.

Let’s do something extravagant if we rebuild it.

It will take about a week to get back on track if you run fast.”

Of course, it would be impossible to realize it if we ran without even thinking about it for a week, but no one doubted his words.

In fact, most of what he said came true.

All that was left was to follow their orders faithfully.

“Yes!! Brother!!”

“Kendall, report back as soon as things are done at the bar.

If there’s something noisy, Smith handles it quietly, like he always does.

Now that something has happened, the public security police department will also come to take a stab at it.

For the time being, I’m staying alert.

Because you never know what will happen again.”

“Okay!! Brother!!”

“Alright then, let’s disperse!!

Let’s go to work!!”

The men were beginning to disperse as the swallow raised its hands and applauded.

“I can’t let them do what they want like this.

It’s okay, it’s okay. Then let’s run again!”

And after a while, the last remaining subordinate bowed his head and walked out, closing the door, and he let out a small sigh as he was alone.

No, I wasn’t exactly alone.

The moment he first sat down at the head table, under the candlelight he was looking at.

The gently swaying air became blurred as if a veil had been opened, and someone appeared from there, as if they had been there from the beginning.

The silence in the room was once again broken by the man’s voice, which appeared like ‘magic’ and opened his mouth quietly as if he should not be heard by others.

“Boss.”

“Report it.”

“Terra is currently in a state of destruction.

As a result of the search, their hideout, safe house, etc. were all robbed.

The survivors are scattered, but regrouping will be difficult.”

Clearly, contrary to the pledges of the men who had been burning with burning hostility toward Terra just moments ago, what came out of the mouth of the man standing in front of the swallow was actually the news that Terra had already been destroyed.

However, the swallow, which did not even show any signs of surprise, seemed to reveal his prediction as if it was very natural.

“Then Luna must have been stepped on by Terra in the first place.

Then like this… Did the two cartels fly away?”

“Sir It is presumed that Parlocino’s cartel has stepped on Terra.

On the surface, we eliminate those who break the rules…

They say it’s to maintain balance in the back alley, but…

There was probably someone’s influence.”

“I see… I don’t know who it is, but I’m really thankful.”

Seeing the swallow smiling, closing his eyes and sighing lightly, the man raised his eyebrows and smiled.

“You have bad taste, boss.”

“I’m not sure what you’re talking about?

anyway… In this way, the power structure was slightly shaken.

The other guys will also slowly see the angle of movement.

I have a feeling that something interesting will happen… ”

And at the swallow’s next words, the man was looking at him with surprised eyes, as if wondering how he knew.

I heard LaLatina is on the move recently?

They’re buying a lot of slaves…

Does he think he will become a slave trader over ‘Deckard’? ”

“LaLatina is just a prostitute.

The majority of the forces themselves are women, including the Changgwan.

I think that’s just the result of using my holes well”

However, in response to his retort, which quickly regained its composure, the swallow instead smiled and tapped his shoulder as if raising a hand.

“That’s scary. Lalatina isn’t really highly rated.

The former owner of the second largest cartel, that great person, right?

It’s just that I fell for that one pussy hole.

I guess this is why men should always watch their lower part…

Even as a singer, I think this is a truly famous quote.

More than that… Isn’t it just that Lalatina inherited the cartel like that?

Still, isn’t it great that the subordinates don’t say much?”

If it’s wide, it’s wide, but if it’s narrow, it’s narrow.

A back alley whose very existence is an insult to the royal family that allows power to overthrow the king, and where it would not be surprising if someone died frequently.

There is a reason for the existence of over 20 cartels.

“I see… It was a good lesson.”

The man who had gently nodded his head at the swallow’s words raised a question to him again.

“But are you okay with it like this?

I told you this last time, but… … Now slowly… … ”

“No, I found an interesting guy.

I wondered what it would be like to see him grow up?”

“Blue Dosalhee… If you mean that bitch… ”

“No need to worry too much.

Because I have thoughts too.

The rumor is strange, but it turned out to be surprisingly solid, right?

If I had been born as a merchant, I might have been quite successful… ?”

“Then let’s ask a merchant… … ”

The man, who knew that Jebi was usually bright but surprisingly stingy when it came to compliments, asked him a curious question.

According to the rumors going around all the time, the woman had no personal power and was not an ordinary human being.

It was just a woman, and a girl who didn’t seem to be that old at all.

Even if they were highly educated, they would have been difficult to deal with at once, so they cut down all of the fifteen men without any effort.

Considering the possibility that he was hiding his power, he could have been the leader of a mid-sized cartel.

If he can be evaluated that way, then why did he let Blue Dosalhee sit at the counter in the name of being the person in charge of a small store?

The words of the swallow, which stretched as if its body was shivering after hearing his question, were enough to satisfy his curiosity.

“Keuaaaa… That’s not it, so I’m looking forward to it even more.

As a merchant, I can only achieve success at best…

This is the prize for great success…

A woman with lively eyes like that…

After all, it’s hard to go anywhere and see it easily”

“I understand. Then.”

The man, who once again sensed that it was time to move as his personal questions were answered so easily, bowed deeply towards the swallow and began to chant the incantation and perform the ritual.

“Just in case.”

The moment when a bright light surrounds the man, and his body slowly turns into light and begins to disappear.

The man, who did not stop his mouth from chanting a spell despite the sudden sound of the swallow’s voice, kept his gaze fixed forward, and his ears were pricked up to hear the voice speaking to him.

And the man who listened to the ‘command’ given to him completely turned into light and disappeared from the room.

“I made a promise with that woman, right?

Even if you have personal interest, don’t touch it or do anything to it.

This is being said seriously, so keep that in mind.”
