by fnovelpia“Is this an experiment?”
“That’s right, that gay…no, the pharmacist introduced himself as a researcher.”
Certainly, when I listened to the drug dealer’s story last time, he wanted to bring people rather than money.
People with powers, children, and experiments..
“By any chance, the first power booster…so you’ve sold drugs like this before?”
“How do you know that, sir? I was just about to tell you…”
‘I guess my initial guess was correct.’
The first drug sold by the Blue Scope gang was a prototype that was tested in the slums.
And the people who joined hands with them were researchers.
‘It’s also a group of big shots that can operate on this scale to some extent.’
There’s a high probability, no, almost certain that it’s a group that appears in the original work.
“I got involved in something more troublesome than I thought.”
“But, I can’t give up!”
That’s true.
Because that was the mission I was given in the first place.
‘Of course, it will be difficult to completely eradicate it.’
You just have to do as much as you can.
“Okay, I understand. Then where is that drug dealer… or researcher?”
“I tied it to the telephone pole over there.”
“?”
Why on earth are you tying him up there?
“Haa..Follow me..”
Uchi walks ahead, sighing deeply as if he doesn’t even want to answer.
Although I was a bit suspicious at first, I didn’t say anything and just followed him.
“……”
“Haaak..haaak..Idle play!”
Then, what appeared was a drug dealer tied to a telephone pole with a dog leash.
“..I’ll tell you in advance, it’s what you wanted.”
Uchi speaks to me while tapping his forehead with his hand.
‘hmm.’
This time, I have to kill him quickly once I get all the information.
I made that pledge, suppressing my murderous intent.
“Researcher, please tell me what kind of experiment you are doing here.”
“Ma, will you give me a reward if I say so..?”
“..If I am satisfied.”
I’ll finish you off with a shotgun.
I swallowed my words and laughed it off.
“..First of all, as you already know, I am a researcher. I can’t tell you where I work, but..”
The researcher said that, seeming nervous and touching his neck.
It seemed more like a habit than an inconvenience to the dog leash.
‘I guess there are some restrictions.’
I don’t know if it’s an ability, an artifact, or a trace of some unprocessed mystery.
Anyway, it’s not that strange that there are restrictions on what you can say.
The question is how far that limitation goes…
“Can you tell me what kind of experiment you are doing?”
“Yes, I can say that!”
Is this an expression of confidence?
Or maybe there is a limit to how much you can put in place.
Anyway, the important thing is that fortunately, there seems to be no problem with speaking about this part.
“…We were experimenting with enhancing this ability and increasing its aggression.”
“Strengthened abilities and aggression..”
“This is a prototype..so in the prototype, it only reacted to those with abilities, but this time, even those without abilities can take the drug and their bodies will be strengthened and their inherent violence will boil over…”
Researchers begin to talk about their plans and the exact purpose of the power booster.
But the more I listened to the explanation, the more I felt something strange.
‘Strengthening the body and increasing aggression..?’
Leaving out the details, such as the addictive nature, the temporary nature, and the limitations on humans and other animals, it was almost identical to the effects of any potion I knew.
In some parts it is better to call it an imitation, and in other parts it is better to call it an upgraded version.
“..Are you thinking of adding something like contagious to that medicine?”
“How did you notice it? Actually, the finished product I made before the prototype had that effect..But for some reason, I completely lost the data..”
What is this? There’s nothing more to hear.
‘The biochemical weapon I stole from Idu Geup’s mansion before. It was the prototype of the ability booster.’
For some reason, the drug’s data disappeared and it was recreated as a power enhancer.
In other words, the power booster and the biochemical weapon I stole were created by the same group.
‘And the group that created this weapon…’
“Haa..this is giving me a headache.”
In the original, they were a crazy group that almost took over several districts of the country.
***
In the original work, the forces are largely divided into three groups.
First of all, the first one is the Hero Association.
Most of the ‘official’ heroes belong to this group, which protects the districts under the direction of the associations that exist in each country.
It is a group with good unity and always cooperates with each other.
The second is a villain organization.
They are a group of individual villains, and their behavior patterns are different depending on the interests of each villain organization.
They fight each other and cooperate with each other, but there is no unity like that of the Hero Association.
And finally, the third force.
This group refers to individuals who are unable to join either the Hero Association or the Villain Organization.
Characters who are neither heroes nor villains, but simply act for their own purposes.
In this place where individualistic tendencies are strong, the only group that can be called a group is the researchers.
‘They may appear to be good citizens on the outside or researchers working for future development, but you never know what crazy things they’re doing behind the scenes.’
Among them, the research group with the most crazy people was ‘Z-Bio’, the group that the researcher I caught belonged to.
“Do you have any more questions?”
“There is no such thing.”
After listening to the researcher’s story and organizing it in my own way, I found that there was one thing that was fortunate.
‘For now, it’s highly likely that we won’t have to fight the entire Z-Bio in this case.’
Z-Bio is the largest group among the third forces.
As the group size is large, the research projects are also diverse.
‘And the important thing is that this project is just a sub-project that helps other larger projects.’
When you look at their personalities.
Even if a few sub-projects were blown away, it was clear that they wouldn’t mobilize everything to seek revenge or anything.
Because each of them has their own main projects they are responsible for, no matter what.
“What are you going to do now?”
“First, we need to catch the researchers who are wandering around selling drugs.”
Variable blocking should be done in advance.
“Location is..”
“Isn’t there one person who knows?”
I kicked the researcher with my foot.
“Haaang..! Haa..haa..”
““……””
Then, the researcher started to shiver, breathing heavily.
..I wonder if this researcher is a person with supernatural powers?
How could he make me feel the emotion of disgust so well? At this point, it was almost a wonder.
“..Anyway, let’s find it quickly.”
I’d like to get this done by today, if possible.
***
“Come quickly, test subject.”
“……”
A dark alley.
A man in a cloak and a little girl were walking down the street.
“Tsk. You’re not even listening to what I’m saying.”
The man who saw the girl squirming clicked his tongue and turned his head away.
“Where on earth did that young senior researcher go to play? There’s still a lot of work to do, and he’s already running away…”
A man who walks ahead while grumbling like that.
For a man who was now well into his forties, everything was just annoying.
Senior researchers who are on the same level as you in a young subject, but suddenly disappear yesterday or today.
I’m talking about all the little test subjects who are following me around like crazy right now.
“……”
The man glanced at the girl, who had turned her head.
Then, a girl looked at him with sparkling eyes.
‘Still creepy eyes.’
The man frowned as he looked into the bird of prey’s eyes, which were invisible to humans.
Beast. If I had to describe the girl’s appearance in one word, that would be it.
A hybrid that has a human-like appearance overall, but also has non-human features.
It was a hybrid they had created.
Crack!
And the man was horrified at the sight of the girl who seemed to be imitating a human being.
“Test subject. Don’t you dare look at me with those disgusting eyes.”
“……”
A girl who looks at the man expressionlessly even after he slaps her.
“Yeah. You couldn’t resist me no matter what I did.”
In order to deal with the girl, the institute brainwashed her.
Because of this, the girl is unable to express her emotions or attack the researcher.
That’s why it was okay for the man to treat the girl like a toy.
Clap! Clap!! Clap!!
How much stress did he vent on the girl?
“Haa..haa, huh..”
A man catching his breath.
He wiped his hand with a handkerchief as if the hand that had touched her cheek was dirty, and then threw it on the floor.
“……”
Ring ring ring!
The sound of the phone ringing at that very moment.
The man glanced at the girl, turned away from her, and answered the phone.
“Oh, it’s me. What did you say..? The other researchers are..”
It was a casual phone call, but the urgency of the person on the phone made the man feel that something was wrong.
“Who’s attacking you? A drug addict?”
No, no matter how weak the researchers are, as long as they have self-defense equipment, they won’t be in big trouble with drug addicts.
Then who the hell are you?
Villains who steal drugs and try to resell them?
Or maybe a hero you only see once in a while in the slums?
“Where are you now?”
Whatever it is, once you contact us, it will remain the same that you need help.
For now, let’s go to the coordinates the researcher sent us.
The moment the man turned around.
Kwajik!!!
The sharp teeth pierced the man’s carotid artery.
“Ker, keruk!!”
And the owner of those teeth is none other than a girl.
‘Uh, uh…?’
When he saw the girl biting him, he felt more doubt than anger.
The brainwashing must have been perfect.
There was no way they could ignore our brainwashing.
Complete trust in one’s own organization.
That’s why the man wouldn’t have known.
That the girl he had looked down on was actually pretending to be brainwashed.
And that he was waiting for the perfect moment to escape.
“Ah, ahh…ah..”
A man who gradually begins to grow colder.
“……”
The girl who had her teeth pulled out by the man took the cell phone that was in his hand and started running towards some place.
***
“Hmm…”
What is this?
While I was organizing the researchers one by one in the slums, a young girl suddenly came in front of me and lay down on the ground.
She held up a sign with crooked writing toward me.
Serves 1.
possible.
me.
Grow up.
‘How on earth should I judge this?’
