Chapter 510 – A Body Inhabited by Demons

@@

“Kuh…!”

Rachel, barely controlling her powers, held her own as she tried to fall.
An eerie feeling is surging from her lower abdomen.
It feels like your intestines are wriggling.
Gnawing her teeth and regaining her senses, she hurriedly shouted as she saw Yoo Seung-hyun approaching her side.

“Don’t come closer!”

At that, Yoo Seung-hyun hesitated.
He knows what Rachel is worried about.

“Rachel…! Are you okay…?”

“I don’t know… Do you feel something in my body right now…?”

“I can feel the energy that radiates from you… But the Evelyn energy in it…”

“Are you mixed?”

“Huh. Mixed up.”

Rachel bit her own lower lip.
It wasn’t enough to hide his presence in the dark, to easily block even Caroline’s attack, which showed tremendous reaction speed.

She even managed to put Evilian energy into her body, holding her own and taunting her in a complacent voice.
It is a day when the command’s words that it is gradually evolving do not reach me like this.

“According to the research of the Doctors at Command, the energy is not contagious. So, rest assured…”

At Yoo Seung-hyun’s words, Rachel shook her head.

“Until we are certain, we must be careful.”

“Oh yeah…”

I looked around and saw that the darkness had lifted.
The appearance of the monster didn’t even show its nose, but it seems that it has already escaped.
Running away with only beggar-like energy in your body… What kind of intentions does that monster have?

“Are you okay?”

Rachel, who had such thoughts, was delighted by the gentle voice of Leona who had come to her side.
I’m glad that the first-generation beast slayers are genuinely concerned about me.
In fact, it’s not enough time to call it a generation.

“Ah yes…! I am okay. It just feels like something slightly unpleasant has entered your body.”

“Sorry. I should have figured it out beforehand…”

“No…! Preparing for that surprise attack was irresistible… Huh…?”

Rachel’s eyebrows twitched as she waved her hand.
It was because Leona felt the Evilian energy that the monster had just injected into her body.

Of course, I had sensed it before, but should I say that now it’s like looking deep inside Leona?
It was like looking into a dark abyss.

Not just Leona, but her Caroline as well.
I could feel the Evelian energy wriggling inside her.

‘What is this…’

Is it possible to exchange emotions between people who have been attacked by that monster?
Leona and Caroline aren’t reacting like Rachel herself… But did she do something special just for her?
I don’t know. I think we should meet with Dr. Clark and discuss the details.

While Rachel is confused, the darkness over her Greenland has completely disappeared.
A white snow field illuminated by moonlight and an old city.
Leona, looking down at them, said to Yoo Seung-hyun.

“Can you feel the presence of that monster?”

“No. It’s completely gone. I think he ran away.”

“… It’s a big deal. I can’t just suffer like this…”

“I know. From today, exchanges between headquarters and headquarters will become more active, so let’s put our heads together.”

“Huh. I’ll see you at the headquarters for a while and then come back.”

“Oh, yes… Me too.”

There was a distinctly awkward atmosphere between the two.
There was no time to share the joy of the reunion, and the monster appeared and caused an incident, so it had to be that way.
Even Rachel had no time to relax because she had been attacked by a monster.

Because there is another opportunity next time.
Having such a positive thought, Yoo Seung-hyun approached Rachel, who was contemplating something with a straight face while watching his ex-girlfriend and childhood friend fiddling with something like a communicator on top of her head.

“What’s the matter?”

Rachel, who suddenly came to her senses, smiled awkwardly.

“No, nothing…”

“Your complexion doesn’t look good… You’re okay, right?”

“Because I’m really fine. It just makes me feel a little bad.”

“Yeah… Well, that’s good. I’m going to report it to headquarters right away… But it doesn’t matter, right?”

“Of course I should.”

The present Rachel was not like her usual.
Her self-esteem seemed to have plummeted as she was lethargic without ever fighting back.
Fully understanding her feelings, Yoo Seung-hyeon turned on the communicator without speaking any more.

Rachel was in the interrogation room set up in the frozen ice.
Having her blood drawn by her Charlotte Clark wearing her hazmat suit, she vented her displeasure by rubbing her own white arm.

“I feel like I’ve been humiliated…! He even said hello to me and other colleagues…!”

“It’s a sly monster.”

“I agree with what you said, but it would be more correct to say that he was smirking in a very bad way. The next time I see him, I will definitely pay for this humiliation.”

“You don’t look like Agent Rachel. Did that monster’s attack make you feel that bad?”

“Of course…! It’s so embarrassing…!”

Rachel expresses her humiliation by shaking her body.
Seeing her like that, her Charlotte, who showed her benevolent smile, put the flask of her Rachel’s blood into her blood test machine she made this time.

Beep-!

Thanks to the efforts of the so-called doctors, the results came straight away.
Charlotte, who had carefully watched the test strip pulled out with a giggling sound, said as if she was glad.

“Ivelian energy is dissipating normally.”

“Is that so?”

“Yes. It’s a little slow, but if you have enough recovery period, it will disappear completely. The problem is that the period seems to be quite long. The results will be sent to the analysis team right away.”

“All right. Haa… I’m so worried that even though there were four Beast Slayers, they were defeated helplessly.”

“Are you worried about yourself? Or are you worried that the monsters will become stronger?”

“Both. When I come back, I have to start training right away.”

“It’s a good fight to see. However, you will have to observe the progress for a day, so please rest well today.”

“… All right. It’s the doctor’s words, so you have to listen.”

“Thank you. For a moment…”

After asking for her pardon, Charlotte swiveled her chair, and she put her lips on her intercom, which was connected to her command center, and continued her words.

“I will return Agent Rachel after a personal consultation.”

Then he disconnected her and put on a serious expression.
Rachel’s head tilted in puzzlement at the sudden word “Personal counseling.”

“Private consultation…? Is it counseling for mental problems?”

“It is not.”

“Then…?”

“Agent Rachel was attacked in the lower abdomen, right? Well below the navel, a little above the jig.”

“Yes that’s right.”

“There are very important reproductive organs in that area.”

“… Ah…!”

Rachel, who blinked her eyes, let out her exclamation.
She knew what Charlotte was talking about.

“It’s the part where the uterus… Is located…?”

“That’s right.”

“Why… Why are you talking about that all of a sudden? Anything wrong…?”

Rachel’s face was instantly stained with anxiety.
Seeing this, Charlotte said calmly.

“Calm down. The current prognosis for Agent Rachel’s condition can be said to be very good. I’m just trying to test my old age.”

“Test…? Gee, now…?”

“Yes. If something goes wrong, it’s a big deal, and we have to take measures, so I think it’s right to check it now. Of course, it’s very unlikely that anything went wrong, but…”

“You mean you can’t even say no…?”

“Um…Don’t worry. It won’t matter.”

“Are you telling me to calm down…? Or are you telling me to be anxious…?”

“The former, of course.”

“Yes…?”

“Yes. I’m not good with words, so it might sound like the latter.”

Did the light joke relieve tension?
Rachel’s hardened expression softened slightly.

“Then…Do you check it right now?”

“I think that is best.”

“Here…? The facilities are a bit…”

“The test results are better than being reported upstairs.”

“That’s true… But shouldn’t all consultations related to the Beast Slayer be reported to the higher ups?”

“That’s right. But reporting this could bring great shame to Agent Rachel. So shall we kiss her?”

“Wear it…? How?”

“Agent Rachel, who has dealt with monsters so far, has lost her confidence a bit due to this incident and is burning with an excessive desire to compete… So, I consulted to regain her composure… I’ll take the strand and report it this way.”

Rachel’s face brightened.
She would have been really ashamed if the results of her self-inspection had gone up to her ranks, but she did as Charlotte suggested and she was relieved.

She had been dissatisfied with the headquarters monitoring Beast Slayers, including herself, in the name of the safety of the parties involved, but she had no reason to refuse.
Of course, I can understand the command’s way, but who likes surveillance to the extent that even the secrets are revealed?

“I would really appreciate it if you would. As expected, the only person who really cares about me is the doctor.”

“Everyone at headquarters is worried about you. I just want to give Agent Rachel and the Beast Slayers a bit of personal privacy. Now, shall we start right away?”

“Yes. How can I do it?”

“You can spread your legs. I’ll take care of the rest.”

The word choice is pretty blatant.
But well… It’s a test for myself, but I didn’t have any complaints.
It’s embarrassing for her, but it’s not like she didn’t get a naked test, and the doctor who does the test is the same woman, so it’s okay.

“In a transformed state?”

At Rachel’s cautious question, Charlotte, who was preparing her test kit, smiled brightly.

“I plan to check both before and after transformation. Shall we do it before the transformation?”

“Ah yes. All right.”

Rachel shook her head obediently and canceled her transformation.
Then, seeing Charlotte’s gaze at her gentle smile, she hesitantly spread her own legs.

She then pulled Charlotte out of her kit and her tools.
A long something with a small brush attached to the end of her hair.
Seeing that, Rachel swallowed her saliva.

“Even if you feel a sense of alienation, please be patient with me. Because they want to harvest cells from the cervix.”

“… Yes…”

“Then…”

Charlotte, speechless, put her foot on the bottom of her chair where Rachel was sitting and pressed the adjuster.
Then, as Rachel’s body slowly climbed up with her chair, she thrust her own face and tools between her legs.

“There will be no pain at all, so rest assured, and when collecting is over, transform again immediately for the quick dissipation of the Evilian Gauge remaining in your body.”

“Yes, Doctor…”

It’s nothing, but I’m nervous for nothing.
Thinking so, Rachel closed her eyes tightly, swallowing her breath as her underwear slipped to her side and she felt the cold metal feel on her skin.
