“No───!!!”

Heilang’s screams echo.

The secret illness of a mother who lost her child was so heartbreaking that it made me cringe. ······Unbelievable. Are you dead? like that?

Shir was the kind of child who couldn’t stay still even for a single moment.

It seemed like a lie that a child like that would stay still. If he woke up laughing and pretending to be dead, wouldn’t he get hit on the head by Heilang?

───But the legs are bent in all directions.

Jules silently approached me and placed his hand on my shoulder. Jules’ hands were shaking. At that moment, I realized that this was reality.

“Such a stupid bitch!! If I go like this, what are you going to tell me? What should I do…!!!”

“···Thank you for your hard work.”

The crushing reality is sinking in.

effort? What are you doing? I was a Korean who was recognized for the process as the result. This is a complete failure. Rather, I should have left my luggage and gone to Jules and explained the situation. The watermill smells strange. Jules might have done something about that watermill.

If that were the case… the result might not have been like this.

Why did you stand by?! Why did you forget?! You expected things to turn out like this from the beginning, right?! Why did you look away?!

······Do not give up!

When you drink a drop of the Precious Blood and apply it to the wound, the wound is washed away and your shoulder begins to recover. At the same time, my heart was being torn apart by grief.

That child should not die like this.

I’m only fourteen. I didn’t even live half of my life. You shouldn’t die now!

‘For us… death will not be the end… Never regret it like me…don’t…have a little…friend…’

Amor, Amor’s will flashes through my mind.

A saying just for me, from a person who has lived for 500 years. Don’t do something you’ll regret for the rest of your life! Something has to be done! think. think···!

puck!

I hit my head on the floor.

······Shur fell into the water less than two minutes later. It may be different since it’s a human being, but a person can be revived without any significant aftereffects if they survive within 5 minutes.

But how… how do I do this?

“Jul. Can you trust me?”

Jules looks down at me.

“···Is there a way?”

I don’t know.

Still, I don’t want to regret it. I looked straight into those eyes.

“It may not work out, but if I don’t do it now, I think I’ll regret it for the rest of my life.”

Jules looked at the Precious Blood in my hand and nodded.

“Try it.”

As soon as permission was given, I gently pushed away Heilang, who was hugging Shir. Juul pulls Heilang, who is looking at my hand in confusion, and separates him from Shir.

I’m not a doctor.

Still… you still have to do it. There’s only me. There’s only a 1% chance. Heilang screams.

“What are you doing! Let go!”

“I’m watching in silence! father! Shush, please stop me!”

The priest looked at me, Juul, and Heilang in turns, and eventually took my side. The priest who caught the heilang looks down at me.

“Okay. Instead, I would like you to explain what you are doing.”

“The heart is located above the solar plexus. I’m trying to artificially make the heart beat by pressing hard.”

People’s expressions become dumbfounded.

Shir’s mouth was full of water. In this way, you cannot receive the Precious Blood, nor can you breathe in prayer. The CPR textbook tells you to breathe into the airway, but it does not tell you how to remove foreign substances in the airway.

I don’t think the Heimlich maneuver is possible on an unconscious person.

······In the first place, it was water that went from the neck to the inside of the stomach! What a fucking piece of garbage! He immediately started putting pressure on Shir’s chest.

1·2·3·4·5·6···.

Pop! Pop! Puddeuddeuk!

My chest was strong, but when I tried my best, it collapsed in an instant. Thanks to the rejuvenation of the Precious Blood that continued to flow, my energy began to surge explosively.

132·133·134·135·136······ 221·223·224·225······ 321·322·323·324······

392·393·394·395···.

This is CPR, which I learned ad nauseam in civil defense, the military, and at work.

I already knew the rhythm in my body, and I could tell that it was now close to 4 minutes.

With each squeeze, water flows out of Shir’s mouth. Is what I’m doing right? Are you doing well? Is my posture correct? Can I really save Shir? Even though it continued for a long time, Shir did not wake up.

···CPR is like that.

This is just life extension.

Resuscitation is done by doctors, and cases of resuscitation using CPR are extremely rare. When Shir’s nose was blocked and his neck was touched for artificial respiration.

Wow!

My neck was bent at a strange angle.

Only then did I realize… Shir’s neck was broken to begin with. He was already dead before I picked him up.

“···Stop it now.”

Jules’ eyes began to show resignation.

I was angry deep inside my heart.

“I won’t give up!”

never! Never give up!

He was the first child to show me genuine kindness. I am the only child who showed pure favor to me, Ri Si-hyeon, rather than a relationship created through a lie!

I shouldn’t face death because of my mistake in judgment.

The last thing to look forward to is the Precious Blood.

Is it possible…? If I do it, I’ll be beaten to death, but if Jules helps me, I can try.

“Jul. There is one last thing I want to try.”

“Do it in moderation────!!!”

Shir’s sternum collapsed.

Heilang screamed at the ruined corpse of his child and glared at me. From the moment he heard the sound of the breastbone being moved, Heilang’s eyes were nothing short of fire.

I lowered my head because I felt like I wouldn’t be able to do anything if I looked into the eyes of a mother who lost her child.

“What are you doing to my child!!! Let go—! Let go───!!!”

I took out a syringe.

This is something no one could ever imagine. This is crazy. After I do this, people might think I’m a devil and I might get kicked out.

“···Can you please listen to my request even if it is an unreasonable request?”

Jules’ gaze is directed toward the syringe.

Jules’ eyes were serious because he knew what I was missing, and he was betting everything on me.

“···Is it possible?”

“You saw for yourself what this is. I don’t do anything that has no chance. I won’t do it, so please help me just this once.”

Zul killed Amor several times, even cutting off his head.

Still, I knew that Amor had survived. This is a piece of Amor.

“How can I help you?”

“Please split Shir’s chest.”

The sound of teeth grinding is clearly heard.

“Such a bastard───?!!”

The heilang desperately shook off the priest and rushed at me with the intention of eating me. If you get hit, you die! Cover your face with your arms───!

Squeak!

“Kuhuh─?!!”

it hurts!!!

Heukrang’s fingernails scratched his arm deeply and tore it open, causing blood to flow. The black tiger that tore my arm and pulled it glared at me with its amber eyes burning.

Neither she nor I could say anything, just looking into each other’s eyes. All of the other hosots, including Juul and the priest, froze.

Soon, the nails embedded in my wrists began to fall out.

Soon, Heilang’s hand lets go of my arm. What did Heilang see in my face? She clung to me, wet and crying.

“Please… save my daughter…”

My heart sank at the trembling voice.

The rain only obscured it, but this person was crying from the beginning. At that sight, an indescribable passion burst from my heart.

“Jul─! Come on!”

Failure to do so would be the worst insult to the deceased.

Juul knew that too, so he couldn’t bring himself to stab him with a knife, but at my urging, Juul shook off any hesitation.

Jules kneels down and looks at me. I realized then. She was also hiding her tears in the rain.

“How. How far can I go?”

“First, split the peritoneum and pierce the diaphragm.”

The file is delicate and the sharp knife skill is used to incise Shir’s chest.

Because of the sternum, an incision is made below and the inside cannot be clearly seen.

It was designed with internal organs in mind.

Just as the intestines are located in the peritoneum, the respiratory organs are located in the diaphragm, and the heart is located in the pericardium. Do not mistake the injection site. You have to hold the heart with your hand and insert the needle into the atrium or ventricle, it doesn’t matter which way.

The tip of the syringe was turned and sharpened.

“You should never, ever stab the heart. A thin membrane around the heart────.”

“I know too, so don’t talk to me—!!!”

Jules screams.

Since the inside cannot be seen, he is holding the tip of the knife and cutting open the chest, relying only on his senses. This is something that must be done with precision equipment used by doctors.

The key now is how much to administer and what to do after resuscitation. Can the Precious Blood even help overcome brain damage? What if it’s too late? What came to mind at the end were the Ramrats that were brought back to life through revival magic in Root Village.

Suddenly, I remembered their language.

People with whom I couldn’t communicate. Could it be that their souls have already been reincarnated? Could it be that only the empty body came back to life? What if that’s why you don’t understand their language?

······So, how much time does Sur have left?

Jules removed his hand from Shir’s chest.

“That’s it!”

As soon as Jules’ hand came out, I immediately put my hand in.

Even though it is smaller than Juul, it is rough, hasty, and has clumsy hand gestures.

It’s too cramped. I feel anxious. I was running out of time.

···afraid. I hope you survive.

He put his hand in, looked through Shir’s lungs, and found the heart.

I don’t even know how much I need to inject. What if I inject a little and delay the revival, and as a result, Shir’s soul is blown away and only the shell wakes up?

──────It should never be like that!

If there is even the slightest chance of that happening, you should inject generously! I carefully sifted through the warm, squishy stuff, and found something that was a bit elastic—!

It’s the pericardium.

My heart is soaked with blood and is slippery. But it doesn’t matter what happens as long as the original shape is captured. He climbed on top of Shir, grabbed the pericardium, put his other hand in, and stabbed the syringe into the heart.

The pericardium is the organ that protects the heart and is filled with fluid. Just like the brain.

As you insert the needle, you will definitely get the feeling that it goes in easily. Either atrium or ventricle is fine, so please…! The needle was slowly inserted. The sensation will come. You will definitely feel it.

Soon, I felt sensation in my hands.

As a test, I do not feel any resistance when I inject holy blood from a syringe. You hit it right! After injecting a generous amount as planned, I pulled the syringe out of my heart and held it out to Jules.

There is no way blood will circulate just because you massage it unconditionally.

Shir’s heart has stopped, so I have to pump it myself.

Did the right atrium beat first? Did the left atrium come first? ···Let’s not think too deeply. The same goes for CPR, which involves just pressing to promote blood circulation.

He began massaging and pumping Shir’s heart with his own hands.

Am I doing a good job? I don’t know. I really don’t know anything. This is an idiotic act that relies on unscientific magic.

I started massaging Shir’s heart.

1·2·3·4·5·6······ 34·35·36····· 51·52·53····· 71·72·73···· 81·82· 83────

“What is that?!”

“Oh my God! Maal!”

ah?!

The parted solar plexus suddenly begins to move forward and grabs my hand. I felt something wrapping around my wrist.

it’s okay?!

My recovering rectus abdominis muscle is grabbing my hand! I’ve seen wounds on Amor’s hands close up in an instant. If I take my hand away, it will be filled in an instant.

Crash!

After a few more seconds, the leg bones quickly regain their original shape. The cervical vertebrae were also attached. But the most important heart is not beating. ···no. This is not it! Why isn’t my heart beating?!

My heart continued to pump.

Over and over again. Even though my grip was cramping, I continued.

“Augh─?!”

The hand that was in my heart was stabbed by something!

Something began to surround Shir’s heart. At the same time, my heart was beating. Soon, something unknown, stabbing my hand, wrapped itself around it. As if alive.

“······Fuck you!”

I quickly pulled my hand out before it stuck to my hand.

The large hole in my chest where my hand was inserted suddenly closes. What was that just now?

“Yuck! Wow!”

Shir started spitting out water.

······He survived? Shir, who had been spitting out water for a long time, looked at the people surrounding him. I survived!

“Sh, shir…?”

Even when Heilang called, Shir was unable to continue speaking.

The eyes didn’t even have focus. He clutched his chest as if he was just confused.

“Ah…! ah······! Ahhh-!!! Ahhh───?!!!”

Shir began to scream and shed tears.

“Why! Why are you doing that!!”

“It hurts! It hurts! mom?! My heart hurts! It hurts──?!”

Heilang, who didn’t know what to do, picked up Shir and started running to the highest house. Only after the figure disappeared, Jules placed his hand on my shoulder.

“···Good job.”

“······Go and take good care of Shir.”

“Follow me. Because you are a patient too.”

It doesn’t feel real, it doesn’t make sense.

Did you buy it? Did I save you? Is it true that it was completely revived? But why does it hurt so much? I didn’t feel that much pain. Jules takes my hand.

“Let’s go and see what’s going on.”

“I─── I don’t know…”

“No one knows.”

Just as I was about to receive Jules’ outstretched hand.

Blood was flowing from my hands. Why are my hands bleeding? The arm injured by Heilang is the wrist. What hurt you?

Why are my hands… petals?

There is a white petal in my hand. It is white and long like chrysanthemum petals. why? Why do flowers come out of Shir’s heart?

Soon the petals melted and flowed down the water stream.

The petals that had all melted began to flow down into the torrent along the water of the canal. Jules took my hand and helped me up.

“Take it.”

Even though he must have seen the miracle just now, he holds out a syringe to me.

I took it, capped the syringe, and put it in my pocket.

···I shot more than half of it without realizing it.

It doesn’t matter anyway.

You just need to dilute it and use it.

The wound on my arm stings because it got wet from the rain.

Treatment… it’s a waste of precious blood. A scar would remain, but I felt that this scar was deserved. Let’s dilute the rest in water like Amor did and use it.

“Jwiyul. Let’s go up and talk first.”

Confusion is mixed in the priest’s eyes.

Not to mention other people. What I did would have seemed like a witch or a devil to others.

“Yes.”

The priest started walking towards the highest house, and Jules and I started walking after him. People’s gaze is so harsh. And it gives me goosebumps. I fully understand what I did. Suddenly, the corpse’s ribcage is broken, the stomach is cut open, and the stomach is kneaded.

And at the end of it, people come back to life?

Now, to them, I am no different from the devil.

But you saved it, right? I saved him…

When the rainy season ends, I might have to leave this village.
