episode_0031

Aion returned home with Hine and spent a happy evening with them.

They had dinner together, laughed about trivial things, had a great time, and soon fell asleep. However, there were those who had the worst time..

“Oh… This is a big deal..! Subject 21 has disappeared! Find him quickly!”

The location was a deserted mountain far from Aion’s home. The men and women wearing something similar to wizard robes began to move in unison after confirming that the test subject had disappeared.

A robe worn by a wizard, but with a strange scent.

Their true identity was that they were demon worshippers known to have summoned monsters into the human world, and they were looking for No. 21, who had escaped from the laboratory.

The mission and doctrine given to them is to condemn foolish humans and create a better world.

So their mission was to use the power and cruelty of the monsters to measure out new monsters and reduce the number of foolish humans, thus making the world their own.

They had been getting satisfactory results through many measurements up to now, but one mistake put them in danger of death.

The mistake was the escape of No. 21.

Unlike the monsters created so far, its appearance was that of an immature human female, and its unique feature was that it could control the power of a monster.

The bastard’s original identity was a young girl. They took her out of a shelter under the pretext of adoption and administered various drugs to her. Up until then, they had not had any particular expectations.

They were experimenting with a theory: what would happen if you gave a human being the blood and power of a monster?

There had already been several attempts, and all of the test subjects died during the drug administration process because their bodies could not withstand it, so none of those participating in the experiment had much hope.

They had already thought through numerous experiments that it was virtually impossible to give humans the power of a monster, so they didn’t have high expectations.

High-ranking officials who saw the potential gave orders to continue the experiment, and they eventually had no choice but to continue.

All of the test subjects were replaced with immature children instead of adult men and women, and all of those used as test subjects up to now were orphans without parents.

Those without parents or families would not be found even if they disappeared from this world, so they continued their experiments through adoption. In the process, there were many test subjects who passed away without even being given a number.

“Please…save me…”

A young boy codenamed Number 21 was terrified as he watched people inject him with numerous drugs.

Until recently, she was delighted to have a family, but they took her away and used her for experiments.

She was trembling in fear as she watched those who were injecting her with something unknown while she was still fully awake.

In the process, she felt extremely scared and committed a rude act.

They didn’t seem to care about her appearance and said nothing.

Since all the test subjects had already done the same thing, they were already used to it and injected monster blood and various drugs into her body.

Those who finished administering the medication quickly came out of the laboratory and said to her, looking at her with her arms and legs tied.

“So how long do you think that guy can last?”

“Wouldn’t it only last about 10 seconds? The longest lasting subject so far was around 20 seconds. They’re so weak, they probably can’t last much longer, right? ”

“I think so too, because little girls aren’t that strong.”

Everyone involved in the experiment thought that it would not be long before No. 21 could not withstand the changes in his body and would explode.

That’s because most of the test subjects couldn’t make it past the 15-second mark and their bodies were blown up beyond recognition.

The longest-lasting No. 9 also broke the record by 20 seconds and then exploded and died on the spot.

“I don’t know what the hell the people above are thinking. They’re suggesting we put monster blood in a human body.”

“I guess they have their own thoughts too. Don’t they?”

“Well.. It’s impossible for us, with our lowly mindset, to understand their thoughts.”

They looked at her without much interest, thinking that she would also explode on the spot.

“Ewww!!!”

“It’s started.”

As the test subject screamed and vomited blood, they looked at them with a knowing smile.

They didn’t pay much attention to it either, since all the test subjects they had tested so far died shortly after screaming.

“It’s lasting longer than I thought?”

Subject 21 looked a little different from the other test subjects they had encountered so far.

No. 21 screamed as if his throat was torn and vomited blood, but unlike the other test subjects, his body did not explode or anything.

Additionally, the blood vessels in the body were revealed, and it was observed that it looked different from the previous test subjects.

“……….”

Upon seeing No. 21’s appearance, everyone involved in the experiment held their breath and began to observe her changes. As a result.

“Success…”

The first test subject to receive a monster’s blood transplant has successfully maintained its form.

During the process, No. 21 was so shocked that he lost consciousness, and they approached the unconscious test subject to check if he was alive or dead.

“It’s weak, but I’m still alive!”

In addition, it was confirmed that he was still alive.

“We must save him no matter what. If we just get our hands on this guy…the cult leader will free us from this hellish place..!”

Those who knew this did their best to save her, who was barely breathing, and as a result.

Number 21 was able to survive.

However, there were some side effects in the process. The first was that he lost all of his memories of his life up until then, and the second was that he could no longer control the power of the monster that had arisen in No. 21.

But still, it was of great value to No. 21.

The fact that he was still alive despite being injected with monster blood. And above all, the power of the monster within the test subject.

All of this caught the attention of those involved in the experiment and high-ranking officials.

Under their command, they were made to fight monsters every day to test the subjects’ capabilities and potential.

If you defeat a monster, it becomes an even stronger monster the next day.

Those involved in the experiment repeated this behavior every day, brainwashing Subject 21 for more than eight hours to develop absolute faith and loyalty to their religion.

If only No. 21 could turn to our side, they would gain absolute power. It would be a historic day when foolish humans would disappear from this world.

That is why they told No. 21 that all those living in this world were born with Amito’s blessings and that in order to go to true paradise, they must make an absolute vow to Him.

Although No. 21 initially resisted such behavior, as time passed, the test subject seemed to accept our newcomer Amito.

And when he realized that it was his mission to purify stupid humans, No. 21 changed.

They were a little nervous about the changes in the test subjects.

“Damn it..! I got fooled..! He was just sitting there to melt us!”

Number 21 didn’t trust them from the beginning.

However, they pretended to believe in their god and waited for an opportunity to escape from here.

They escaped the laboratory through their eyes in the early morning hours when their guard was weakened.

“Hey…where did you go…!”

When No. 21 disappeared from the laboratory, those in a panic began searching the interior of the base in search of the missing test subject, but they still found traces of No. 21.

A researcher, bewildered by this situation, tried to open the door to the laboratory where No. 21 was trapped in order to open the closed laboratory door.

“…Something’s strange…”

And one researcher who was looking for the escaped No. 21 realized something was wrong as he was lost in thought after seeing the test subject that he could not find no matter how hard he searched.

While he was wondering what kind of monster’s blood had been injected into No. 21, he realized something and shouted at his colleague who was trying to open the door to the laboratory where No. 21 was, with a thoughtful face.

“Don’t open it!! No. 21 didn’t run away! It turned transparent with the monster’s power! It was inside the whole time!! Don’t open it!!”

The man approached his colleague with a thoughtful expression as he tried to open the laboratory door.

“What did you say..?”

The colleague had already opened the door where No. 21 was being held captive.

and.

“Thank you for opening the door.”

Behind that colleague, No. 21, who had turned transparent due to the monster’s ability, appeared.
