episode_0041

After consulting with Jin Seo-yoon, I spent an ordinary day and woke up in a damp single room like any other day.

“…”

These days, I have a hard time sleeping.

It’s not like I’m covered in cold sweat or seeing illusions for no reason.

It’s as if the personality is stretched like cheese, forced to stretch, and then split into two… What does this mean?

If I were to find an appropriate analogy, it would be a similar feeling to the one I encountered in my dream, whether it was instinct or something else.

I thought I had beaten him so hard that he couldn’t even think of seeing me again, but is this a sign that I will soon see the same illusion?

So even if I sleep like this and wake up, I don’t feel refreshed…

“Ah.”

It was around this time that I looked at the ceiling blankly and lost in thought.

Let’s take a look at our body as we feel something foreign.

You have one white and beautiful leg, hanging over my stomach.

When I turned my gaze to find the owner of the ungainly abandoned bridge, I saw Sharon lying asleep.

Here was a clear reason why I didn’t feel refreshed in the morning.

Where on earth did this deal come about?

I know that if I don’t pay attention, they will pop out as they please, but I still impose restrictions every time because of their unique sense of connection.

And yet, it comes out of hiding so perfectly that even the nerves of this body are deflected.

Surely the singular entity is different?

Should I rather consider myself lucky that I didn’t get into an accident somewhere?

“Master is mom… You have to protect her…”

I need to educate myself so that those baseless titles will one day be engraved in my mind.

I quietly cleaned Sharon’s legs and prepared for the day.

“Nua…”

As I was preparing a simple breakfast in the kitchen, I felt a strange sensation running up my leg.

The warm, soft body temperature soon warms my back.

“You went to sleep without knowing the world, and you woke up already?”

“Yes…”

“Why are you sleeping more?”

“Sharon is comfortable with this…”

Either way.

Thanks to this, it weighs more, but this body can easily handle it.

After eating together like we were used to, and pushing Sharon, who was still sobbing, into the crack, I also started to go to work in earnest.

No, I wasn’t going to do it.

That is, until you come face to face with a man in a white robe as soon as you step out the door.

“…what. Why do you come here again?”

“Time is gold. Now that the world has become somewhat quiet, there is no need to wait any longer.”

A middle-aged man with a blunt face.

Her characteristic feature is the white gown she always wears.

The leader of Prometheus.

Seongho Kwon.

The day before the incident occurred, he was the one who lent the monsters to guide Na Seong-hyun and measure Jin Seo-yoon’s abilities.

He was also the one who placed additional orders so that only the heroes could be touched.

“…I felt it the other day too, is it okay to go around like that openly?”

“All experiments are conducted under strict security. I haven’t done anything yet that would get me caught by the Hero Association.”

Experiment.

The experiment the man is talking about is creating a new human race by combining monsters and humans.

As a scientist, you are blindly obsessed with creation. Isn’t this the embodiment of chaos that should not exist?

Originally, I was planning to use Team Leader Park to see his face before the incident occurred.

One day, he suddenly came to my house on his own.

That’s why he willingly used the monster he manufactured.

Somehow, we prevent people from dying due to Prometheus’ own terrorism.

It’s a close call, but wouldn’t it be safe to view it as a heroic action so far?

Of course, what you do from now on is important.

In my head, I was calculating how to cook this bastard so that I could use it as experience points for the main character’s party.

-Kill me? master?

Wow.

Before I knew it, I had stopped Sharon, who was excited.

In the story, Kwon Seong-ho’s Prometheus is destroyed by the main character’s party.

The problem here is Kwon Seong-ho’s actions after that, where will the villain who lost everything go?

[Fenrir].

You will join that damned group.

In this way, Fenrir gains great power without even blowing his nose.

‘Kill me? here?’

If you throw it as food for the blood demons, you can have a clean ending.

However, if that happens, the monsters in the lab who received his biological signals will be released all at once.

What after that?

Parades filled with blood and flesh will be held all over Korea.

It can’t be anything other than an odd setting.

I opened my mouth exactly as I felt.

“What should I do? I don’t want to listen to it, but I just want to clean my mouth in a way that only benefits me.”

“I’m sorry.”

“I know, I know. Even if I kill you here, all the monsters will be released, right? Then it won’t work.”

Hearing my words, Seongho Kwon was silent for a long time and looked at me.

“How do you know that?”

“You know everything. I know your child is sick. I know very well that you are a crazy bastard who wants to put your own children in experiments.”

“…I guess I chose the wrong person.”

“Oh. The calculation is very fast. Is it because he’s a scientist?”

“It means that there is confidence in the security within the organization. I would like to define it as information that I can never know until there is a knife at my throat.”

He looked very curious and used a cheat key called an industry secret.

“Can I cancel the contract now?”

And he said it in a tone that sounded like he was trading used goods, but it seemed so natural that I almost overlooked it.

“Suddenly? No, they have no pride? It’s hard to make a monster.”

“I am not smart enough to take unnecessary risks. Just like at this moment, it only takes three monsters to rule out future risk factors, so it’s a cheap price.”

For someone who admits to being in crisis, he is overly calm.

But I already knew.

The madness seething beneath those calm emotions.

“Ehehe, it would be a bit weird if I just let you go after coming this far.”

A crack opens.

Because of the narrow room, it is only one size.

But beyond that, countless eyes of blood demons could be seen.

This is the perfect production for the meaning of “I want to kill you here.”

“The sea I expected. I’d like to propose a new contract. Of course, in the position of receiving conditions without any compensation.”

“Oh, that’s good? Then how about my mental manipulation?”

“Impossible.”

“Hey, pun?”

When I opened my hand and showed the ability of a hypnotist, Seongho Kwon immediately refused.

“Memory and information are the researcher’s assets. Mental manipulation abilities are like rat poison to people like us.”

“Then what should we do?”

Although they are slowly putting pressure on them, they are just as scared.

It was because I wanted to avoid the release of an army of monsters in Korea at all costs.

-Sharon wants to go too!

Amidst the blood demons’ looks as if they were about to jump out at any moment, Sharon urged them.

“You can just dismiss whatever Promethean is doing. No, just pick. Should I push them all, or should I just end it with you?”

“I will receive mind manipulation abilities.”

“Calculation is fast, as expected. Science, science, science.”

No matter how sexy a man I am, I am at a disadvantage against genuine scientists.

In the end, it was a loss to give myself time to think about this.

A winning decision made with strong confidence led to victory this time.

This was the victory of justice.

#

A man in a white robe trudged out of an old, moldy house.

Seongho Kwon planned to have his brain diagnosed as soon as he returned to the lab.

‘It’s just that simple. Wait until my next command. ‘Don’t do any strange things.’

The content is too vicious for something to be said casually.

Control over all procedures, including the research that had been built up so far, was taken away in an instant.

Nevertheless, Seongho Kwon was confident that his calculations were not wrong.

This is our second meeting.

At the first meeting, I just wanted a simple monster test for future contracts.

Seongho Kwon also readily accepted this.

I obediently gave away the three monsters.

This is because I thought that a few monsters would be enough to trade off Kim Seong-jin’s ability to handle monsters.

And I watched the results.

Seongjin Kim wasn’t interested in the plays that took place among the heroes.

The result of analyzing only the blood demons he deals with.

‘Blood demons are overwhelmingly superior.’

His calculation was correct.

In future experiments, if he only used monsters as test subjects, he would definitely be one step closer to new humanity.

In this way, Kwon Seong-ho calmed down his wild excitement and urgently went to Kim Seong-jin’s house.

And without being able to achieve anything, I was literally trampled by him.

Your experiments, your assets, and your future.

It was only our second meeting, and there wasn’t much conversation.

Then suddenly and casually.

Even within the research institute, information that is treated as a top secret comes out of the mouth.

Seongho Kwon did not analyze phenomena that he could not understand.

And the ability that Kim Seong-jin showed for a moment in that small room.

The presence of monsters lurking in the pitch-black darkness.

These were things that Seongho Kwon simply could not handle.

It was a huge mistake from the moment I approached him first.

I figured it was definitely something that could be controlled.

He mistakenly believed that this was a man who would achieve great results in his research.

The result is this.

The man named Seongjin Kim, the things he holds.

It was too far out of proportion for Kwon Seong-ho to dare to deal with it.

[Ghostly].

He is truly a man worthy of that description.

Kwon Seong-ho instinctively thought that he never wanted to encounter him again.

Around the time I left Kim Seong-jin’s house and took a few steps.

“Goodbye~”

When I suddenly felt a presence, I turned my head and saw a woman smiling and waving her hand.

I don’t feel any presence.

Seongho Kwon, who had shown outstanding achievements as an awakened person, was at a loss for a long time as to how he should react when he saw a woman he knew nothing about.

and then.

“….”

I simply turned my back and headed toward the lab, silently adapting to the overwhelming reality.
