Chapter 159 – 159. Acquiring the Soul Extractor

Aiming using Doohwang’s almighty key. He had Liam carefully open the steel door.

-Catch up…

Even if the lock was unlocked, the door was so heavy that Liam, an Awakener, had to use all his strength to open it.

“You guys don’t just watch, help me. It doesn’t look dirty.”

“Oh sorry.”

When Cho Joon frowned and made a bitter noise, only then did Meiling and Jack cling to each other and open the door. Soon the door opened wide, revealing the scenery inside.

“What are all these…”

Beyond the door was a kind of laboratory.

He couldn’t tell if he was targeting humans or making something for humans, but he felt a kind of madness in the room’s scenery.

It was a man’s obsession. An obsession to revive a woman. It was the room where that madness was expressed.

“Things that were people.. Do they look like?”

A huge, transparent tank filled with an unknown liquid.

In it, there were floating things that could only be seen as people.

Joon took it as a sign of failure in trying to create someone specific.

‘Blue hair…Same face…Cloned human?’

Most of the specimens floating in the tank had similar or identical appearances. And the other tank next to it was full of guys that I don’t know if they were stored or abandoned, but they looked badly damaged as if they had failed in shaping.

It looked like a collection of failed objects thrown into a trash can.

Jo Joon wondered if they had been disposed of.

‘For now, it’s certain that something unimaginable has happened inside.’

Joon approached the dead skeleton in the middle of the room, as if it were being buried among complex machinery. Complex machines did not power on one by one. It had been neglected for so long that it all seemed to be ruined. Like a dead skeleton.

“Ikari John…?”

The skeleton was wearing a worn-out white gown. Joon checked the name tag in English on his white coat.

The skeleton’s name was Ikari John. There was no information written on the name tag other than the name. However, there was a picture of a man, a dark-haired Asian man wearing glasses.

‘What the hell was he trying to make…’

Jo Joon thought that there was too little to know from the information given. He couldn’t figure out anything However, he was able to notice the existence of the object the skeleton was holding in its hand.

That was an item. An item that is not a normal item.

“Hmm… You guys don’t touch anything. I don’t know what kind of disaster I’ll get if I accidentally touch it.”

Jo Joon warned in advance that the party might snoop around the laboratory and cause trouble by accidentally touching things, and then took the items left by Ikari John.

[Soul Extractor]

It was a large syringe-shaped mechanical device.

[The soul can be extracted and stored. It can also be reinfused into a body suitable for the spirit body.]

There was no other explanation other than that. It was a simple but great thing. Being able to store and re-inject the soul was, in a sense, tantamount to the power of a god.

‘You can store the soul. Hellas old man will like it.’

The moment Cho Joon saw the soul extractor, he thought it was something he had to bring to Hellus. As he thought, the Soul Extractor was a must-have for Hellus, who was trying to obtain a new body through the Brain Project.

Moreover, Hellas was currently making an object with the ability to extract and store souls and inject them back. The soul extractor had the same effect as the object Hellas was trying to create. It was as if someone from the future had already created what Hellus was trying to create.

It was clear that Hellus’ research time would be cut dramatically if Joon could safely bring the Soul Extractor back to him.

‘Good timing.’

He was so glad he didn’t go straight back to the modern time zone. If the jet-black wheels had died before finding this room, they would never have obtained such a valuable item.

“Huh?”

At that time, Jo Joon looked around the soul extractor and noticed that the barrel inside the extractor was filled with blue liquid.

The liquid filled the body of the syringe as if it had sucked in someone’s soul. He immediately poured a few drops of liquid from the extractor onto Ikari John’s skull to check its contents.

‘Sticky blue liquid… Could this be ectoplasm? If ectoplasm is certain… This is superlative. Hellas will really like it.’

Last time, when Lee Eun-ha vomited loneliness and was able to obtain a large amount of ectoplasm, Jo Joon, who listened to Hellas telling his student Su-min Hwang the basic knowledge about ectoplasm by the side, immediately saw the sticky and unique cold liquid. I saw through to the fact that it was ectoplasm.

‘Perhaps this is the existence that the dead Ikari John is trying to revive… I’m guessing that the woman in the transparent glass tube is the owner of this soul…’

“It must be to revive the woman he loves or something like that,” Said Joon, not taking it seriously. Making a replica to bring back a loved one is a kind of cliché.

As he thought, the fact that Ikari John mass-produced clones was a trite and common reason. It was his own experiment to revive his dead lover. The method of extracting the soul was developed with difficulty by borrowing the knowledge of the Yi tribe, but the body in which the soul could be settled was not created.

To be precise, the hidden truth was that she hadn’t created a body with great potential to meet the high standards of a woman who would get a new body. That was Ikari John’s limit, and he ended up committing suicide.

In any case, Jo Jun is a human being who does not care much about the circumstances of others, so he has no interest in Ikari John and that unknown woman.

‘Hmm.. This might be an essential item for recovering Cheshire’s soul fragment…’

Obsessed with the idea that he might have found a way to rescue Cheshire, he put the soul extractor into his large-capacity magic bag without properly checking his surroundings.

“Let’s go. You got everything you got.”

Joon took his pocket watch out of his pocket and called the rest of the party together. He uses the clock to return to the original time zone.

“Okay then, if I press this button…”

-Click.

“Ohh… Uh?”

Jo Joon pressed the button, but the pocket watch didn’t work. He glanced at the stopped pocket watch and struck it a few times with his hand. Machines are supposed to be beaten to listen. However, there was no response.

What’s more, the companions who told me to come closer didn’t come for some reason. Meiling grabbed Jojun’s arm when he felt something was wrong.

“What, why?”

Mei Ling pointed in one direction to her with a slightly trembling voice.

“I, there… That…”

“What? Uh..? Those… Why are you like that…”

Jo Jun saw the direction Mei Ling was pointing with his finger and his body froze.

“Poem, fuck…”

The blue-haired women floating in the tank were all staring at Jo Joon with their eyes wide open.

Right behind his back.

It was a soul extractor in a large-capacity magic bag.

‘What, something… Drew aggro… No way… Did it react to ectoplasm?’

Joon instinctively sensed that he had been fucked. He did not want to tell his companions not to touch anything, but he touched the trap.

After the death of Ikari John, the neglected clones reacted sharply to someone’s spiritual body in the soul extractor and woke up from a long sleep.

From the moment they opened their eyes, they began to feel hunger and thirst for souls.

-Kwagwang!!!

The tank the clones were floating in cracked. They were screaming in unison, breaking the tank and trying to escape.

To hunt the prey in front of you and extort the ectoplasm from the bag of the prey.

‘Can I kill it…’

Jo Joon was not intimidated by their momentum and calmly prepared his skills. At that time, part of the tank was cut off, and at the same time, sharp energy, as if swinging a sword, cut Jo Jun’s back cheek and part of his hair. It was a supernatural ability used by the clones in the tank.

‘Personal power…?’

Jo Jun realized that the guys in the tank used skills or similar powers. Even the output was beyond imagination. Joon made a momentary judgment and used the distorted scales to form a shield.

-Bang! Bang! Bang! Clink!!!

Distorted scales that were broken in an instant after three defenses. It was only now that Jo Jun realized that they were unusual beings.

‘If it were around five, how could I have tried my hand…’

There were countless of them. If you try to fight, you will die. It was heavy duty.

“Run!! Run!!!!”

Joon used the shield in succession and ran out of the room without looking back. Following him, Meiling and the other two also ran out. However, Liam, who was at the very end, couldn’t get out of the room.

– Pooh!!!

“Quaaaaa!!!!”

Liam’s amputated legs. He let out a scream and fell forward, dismembered by the clones that followed, without even using his hands, into his chunks of meat.

The clones crushed Liam’s head, pulled out his brain, chewed it up and swallowed it. Like a beast The clones whose souls were empty acted on their instincts. And now they are very hungry.

“Kiaaaaa!!!!”

“Aaaaa!!!!”

The clones who ate Liam in an instant chased after the runaway Jo Jun.

“Keep it off!!!”

“What the fuck!! Jack!! You bastard bastard!!! Run faster!!! Hey!! Meiling!! You dog bitch!!! Let’s go together!!!”

Joon called a group of jet-black cockroaches that were searching his mansion. Then he heard a sound that he was uncomfortable hearing behind his back.

-Foohwaak!!!

“Keggyakyakyam!!!”

Part of Jack’s right arm was severed by a telekinetic blade. Jack grabbed his blood-gushing arm and ran after him tenaciously. He knew very well that if he stopped he would die.

“Kissha shot!!!”

At that time, jet-black wheels appeared at the right time. With this, Joon’s group bought some time from the deranged clones. Time to escape while the Black Wheel and his brood are being eaten…

“Shit…!”

Soon the chase died down. Jo Jun and Meiling hid themselves in a room with three entrances and caught their breath. Aim put a gag on Jack’s mouth and used the flesh that filled it.

“Turn it off!!!!”

“Hold on a little longer…”

The tentacles of the two tribes that were scattered on the floor of the room were attached to his arms. Of course, Jack agreed.

“Heo-euk… Hee-euk…”

“How is it. Are you moving properly?”

“Yes.. Yes.. Something.. It’s different from the hand… It’s natural.. It’s more unpleasant…”

Jack has tentacles attached to his right arm from the elbow. He gripped the sword with wriggling tentacles and wiped away the cold sweat.

“Whew.. The clock is working again.”

“With that… Can I get out of here…?”

“Of course, Meiling… Let’s get out of this fucking place right now…”

As soon as I got away from those who were using paranormal abilities, my pocket watch started working again.

Jo Joon started the pocket watch without delay. Soon a ticking sound reverberated throughout the room, and a light emanated from the clock.

Soon, Joon and his party were transported to modern times where Nick would be.
