Chapter 445 – Confinement

Returning to the lab alone, I found Stella sitting in front of medical equipment in the medical room.
Inside the medical device, Alex lies motionless with her eyes closed.

Do you know Even if the communicator was turned off, the micro reconnaissance aircraft sent out from the fighter jets sent out all the situations,
And that when you slapped Alex on the cheek, in an instant, a tremendous amount of magic rose up and covered the surroundings.

To be honest, I didn’t expect Alex to wield violence at all.
At that time, the doctor and I hugged each other wide-eyed, but Stella will never know this fact.

Although she cautiously moved her steps to Stella’s side, she was staring blankly at her medical equipment.
Looking at the side view, the eyes are not focused. If you even touch it, it seems like it will collapse.

I silently looked at the monitor of the medical device and checked Alex’s condition.
Then Stella’s head turned slowly.

“…. Brother…”

“Recovery is going well. You don’t have to worry.”

Stella’s mouth pouted.
A look that makes you feel like crying right now.
Her throat continues to sag as if she is trying to swallow the food that rises from her chest to her throat.

“Ask nothing…?”

Stella’s question that has been going on for a while.
With a soft smile, I took out a bottle of warm water and opened the lid.
Then he brought it to Stella’s mouth.

Stella’s head slowly audible according to my movements.
She said I gave her some water.

“I barely noticed, but… Tell me later, when you’re ready.”

Did your mind and body calm down a bit after the water entered?
Stella’s eyes returned a bit of life.

“That organization… Was wiped out…?”

“Done. Now that organization will never rise again.”

“What do you seniors say…? Aren’t you disappointed in me…?”

“There was no sign of that at all. I was rather worried.”

“…. Brother.”

“Yes.”

“…Alex is… Uhhh…!”

Stella bursts into tears she has been holding back.
I hugged her like she was precious.

“Alex… A member of that organization… Uhhhhh… Was… My brother… Targeting… Also… Uhhh… Alex…! It was… Haaaaagh!”

Unable to continue her words any longer, she bursts out in a loud wail.
Shortly thereafter, she starts to make croaking noises.
It seemed that her throat was completely choked.

Is this your first time crying like this?
The blow to the mental has been really bad. More than I imagined.

“Sorry…! Oppa… Huh…! Sorry…!”

“Our Doleonggi… He has such a pretty heart. What if you’re so kind…”

“Heuuuuu!!”

Stella, who had been crying profusely for so long, stopped her tears by the time her wives arrived at headquarters.
Hastily wiping under her eyes and stepping out of her medical room, she bowed her head to her wives.

“Sorry…”

She then put her hands together politely and fidgeted, unfilteredly expressing her own uneasiness.
The first person to approach her was Sylvia.
Asked Sylvia, who folded Stella’s hands very carefully.

“Can you tell me who the person at the medical device is?”

“…My…My brother…”

“I see… That must have been very difficult.”

Stella’s eyes were wet again at Sylvia’s benevolent tone, as if she understood her circumstances just by hearing that one word.
Sylvia apologized for kissing Stella on the forehead with all her affection.

“Sorry. I didn’t mean to send you there.”

“Ah, no… Heying… I… I… Said I was going…”

Sylvia responded by hugging Stella.
The other co-workers also hugged her Stella as if she were her precious little sister.
Adele, in particular, showed sympathy for Stella’s situation, even crying with her.

Did you feel the warmth of their actions?
Stella’s complexion brightened a little.
She is still crying, but with a smile on her lips, she greets her colleagues and returns to me.

“Alex… Is treatment over…?”

“Done. Let’s just administer her sleeping pills and take her away.”

“Sleeping pills…?”

“I thought it would be better to rest for a day or two.”

“…. Do you think you can forgive Alex for doing bad things to you…? Aren’t you angry…?”

As of today, Stella’s malice must have grown considerably.
From now on, it’s time to reveal her true true colors.
Let’s induce it gently. A path that leads to Alex’s ruin.

“Look, I’m not talking about my feelings right now. One thing is for sure, I do as you wish. You want to treat Alex now. So I’ll gladly follow you.”

“… I want to sleep next to you… I’m tired…”

“Okay. Let’s go to sleep when we get back.”

“Yeah… And I have a favor for you…”

There was a firm determination in Stella’s expression when she said that.
You’ve decided on something.
Because you showed Alex how you wielded violence today… I’ll listen to whatever you think.

“Shall we go back and talk?”

“Brother… Is on my side unconditionally…?”

“Of course.”

@@

“Okay…”

My head hurts as if it would break.
The body does not have good strength.
Alex let out a hard moan and forced his upper body up.

‘This is…’

Familiar blankets and smell… It’s your own room.
Alex brushed his hair slowly and stopped all movement as he instinctively tried to get out of bed.
Because he remembered an incident that had happened before he passed out.

“…. Ah…”

He saw himself at an orgy party with drugs, and his sister, who had transformed into Beast Slayer Rosé.

‘My older sister…’

My sister was a hero protecting the earth…
Is it possible? Incredible.
He wondered if he was dreaming… But he seemed to be seeing the truth.
Otherwise, my memory wouldn’t be this clear.

When did you become a beast slayer?
Not while in the US.
So, was he chosen by the Beast Slayer Headquarters when he was in Korea?
Wherefore?

Alex, who had been fanning his imagination alone for a long time, cursed at himself when he couldn’t find an answer.

“… Fuck…”

I really regret the past days.
I don’t know how she became a beast slayer, but my sister protects the earth by fighting monsters and crime…
A guy named himself joined a criminal organization and he did all sorts of stupid things…

“Sister…”

When her sister’s eyes turned from pity to disgust as she dodged a shot from her colleague, her heart ached.
It’s understandable that her older sister slapped her own cheek for the first time.

I hope you haven’t heard about Song Ji-hyeok, but there’s a good chance you’ve heard.
She is truly screwed.

Alex sighed deeply and put a hand on his cheek, puzzled by the absence of any swelling in him.
He must have been hit correctly, and he passed out whenheheard his neck bones break… Why not?
It is full of incomprehensible things.
If I ask my sister, will she tell me?

‘But what are the red eyes…? Is it like awakening…?’

Apparently, my sister’s iris was red… I don’t know.
Let’s take it slow and think about the situation.

Thinking so, Alex flinched as he twisted his neck around.
Because the layout of the room has changed.

‘What…?’

The windows, which had become thick with bulletproof glass or something, were secured with a keyed fixture.
And in the center of the door, there was a long, square space that looked like a prisoner was given a meal, along with something like a cover.

Is that all? The material of the door was steel, and a door lock was installed instead of a doorknob.
Not at the front door, but at the door of his room.

Confused by the incomprehensible situation, he straightened his spine when his door lock beeped.

Rattle.

Soon the door opened and Stella came in.
Alex, who was about to smile brightly for a moment, fully realized the seriousness of his situation and hardened his expression.
It’s not enough to start with an apology right now, but if you actually split it… Something you don’t want to imagine will happen.

“Are you awake…?”

Alex’s heart broke at the sight of the drawn Stella.
He didn’t know how to get his words out, but when his sister held out a piece of paper to him, he accepted it.

“This is the result of diagnosing your current condition. Fortunately, I’ve removed all the drug substances from your body. You don’t have to worry about addiction from now on.”

“…..”

I’d like to ask how you got rid of it, but let’s shut up.
No matter what you say now, your sister won’t listen.
Let’s start with an apology.

“Sister…”

“I am quiet.”

Alex’s eyes widened at the cold voice.
Goosebumps sprout all over his body.
How could my sister speak like this?

In Stella’s eyes, there was not a single piece of affection left for her.
No, there was a little bit of it in the depths.
But even that was almost gone.

I can’t get used to such a cold older sister.
However, I got it.
As much as she was, she herself did trashy things, and showed them to her sister.

“I came here to give you instructions.”

“…?”

“I will live here from now on. The rice will be served through the hole made under the door, and the finished rice bowl will be collected at the next mealtime, so put it on the pedestal. To lower the pedestal, just pull this here.”

“Uh…?”

“I put away my computer and cell phone. I’m afraid you’ll do something stupid again. Instead, I’ll give you one book a day, so read it.”

What is my sister saying now?
I’m still distracted, but it seems to be getting more and more complicated.
Stella, whether aware of Alex’s feelings or not, continued with a cold expression.

“I plan to release you when I can see that you are truly reflecting. How long it will take is up to you, and I make the decision. If it looks the same after a year, you should still be here.”

“…..”

“This is your last chance. I hope you keep that in mind. You won’t even listen to what I’m saying anyway.”

“…..”

“If you have any complaints, tell me now. I will send you to prison right away.”

“Nu, nuna… I… Apologize first…”

“Stop. Don’t be fooled anymore And whenever you have free time, memorize this.”

After interrupting Alex, Stella threw a note in front of him.
Several sentences were written there.
After reading them, Alex shivered all over.

It was because the contents of the note were words of apology for Song Ji-hyeok, whom he hated so much.
It was even her sister’s handwriting.
It means that Stella wrote this line herself.

“Sister…! Song Ji-hyeok…”

“Are you going to start again?”

“…..”

Song Ji-hyuk… Song Ji-hyuk!
그 개새끼가 누나를 유혹한 게 틀림없다.
The reason my sister changed like this was 100 percent because of him.

Even if she doesn’t do anything bad from now on, I can’t forgive that bastard.
It must be torn apart and killed.

Alex clenches his fists and intensifies his murderous intent.
Stella looked at him and let out a long sigh.
Alex, who suddenly came to his senses, relaxed his hand.

“Sister…”

“You know where I belong now, right?”

“…..”

“Answer me. Know? I don’t know?”

“Ah, I know…”

“Then do you have any idea what will happen if you try to do something stupid? So try to stay calm. I’ll prepare the rice for you now, so wait.”

Stella spoke as if informing and left Alex’s room without looking back.

“Wait, wait…! Something to say…”

Thud!

When the door was deliberately closed, Alex’s voice was no longer heard.
Stella leaned against the door and sat down.

“Ha…”

He insisted on extreme measures and renovated Alex’s room for two days, but it wasn’t without his heart breaking.
But if you let him go like before, Alex will have another accident.
For his edification, I believe that rule through complete surveillance is the best.

‘It’s the last time… No more… I’m tired…’

When I saw Alex, I felt like the happy times I had with Jihyeok and other colleagues collapsed.
It shouldn’t be once or twice that he accepted his bullying behavior… He might have gone mad first if he left his younger brother alone.

He himself is not an adult gentleman. He doesn’t intend to be like that.
So this is the last time.
I was determined. If his brother doesn’t show any signs of coming back like before, that’s it.

“It’s okay?”

At Ji-hyeok’s worrying question that approached him at some point, Stella stood up and embraced him.

“Brother… I did a good job right…? Is not it…?”

Stella’s way of talking to Jihyeok was completely different from that of Alex.
Like the voice of a woman completely immersed in the swamp of love, she had a charming and gentle voice.

“Yeah, good job.”

Hearing Jihyeok’s unwavering voice, Stella thought.
Thanks to Jihyeok and his colleagues, I was able to manage my precarious emotions for two days.
You should be with people like this who believe in you.
He said he was a person who deserved to be happy…

“A camera? Are you okay…?”

“It’s coming out well. Wanna see?”

“See you.”

Taking Stella to the sofa, Jihyeok opened the laptop and placed it on his lap.
Inside the laptop screen, Alex’s room was projected in vivid colors.
The camera installed so that Alex cannot see it is broadcasting the video.

“There is no sound coming out because it was installed in a hurry. I will improve more later.”

“Yes.”

On screen, Alex slams the wall! I saw him playing.
An act of resentment.
Seeing this, Stella’s forehead wrinkled.

‘I knew it would be like that.’

I don’t get angry no matter what I do because my expectations are low.
How long will it take to heal? The future is dark.
Maybe it would be better to give up the consensus.

Stella, who had an extreme thought for a moment, shook her head and headed to her kitchen.
