Chapter 63 – Anguished Saehwa #3

@@

Saehwa, who dropped Seonghyeon, was on her way to Syria in the doctor’s fighter jet.

“Jihyeok… Went through the portal?”

“Okay. It turns out that the portal in your house has been used. The destination is Syria.”

“Dae, why? Why did you go to Syria alone?”

“You should find out about that now. Syria is at risk of civil war right now. If it goes wrong…”

Although he blurted out his words, Se-hwa recognized exactly what the doctor was trying to say.
If you make a mistake, Jihyeok’s personal life could be in big trouble.
That’s what the doctor was trying to say.
Sehwa bit his lower lip.
Her face turns red and her limbs tremble, making her unable to stay still.
The doctor who glanced at the figure tried to calm Sehwa.

“He is a kid who takes good care of his body until he dies. It may not be such a big deal.”

“I… I’m going through the portal right now…”

“No, don’t do that.”

“What is a doctor to me…!”

Se-hwa is startled after trying to shout.
Her doctor looked at her with her surprised face.

“I’m sorry…”

The doctor said after taking a shallow sigh at Sehwa’s apology.

“I understand your concern about Song. But if Song went through the portal without telling me or you… I think it must be for some reason. Aren’t you the kind of guy who doesn’t tell us anything and act as he pleases when his life is in danger?”

“Yes… That’s right…”

“I am looking at this.”

The doctor manipulated the monitor to illuminate the camera near the portal.
Recorded a few hours ago.
Sehwa saw Jihyeok who appeared with a flash of light and vomited.
Fortunately, no one was near the portal.
It could be said to be an impoverished country, and since it was Syria, which even went through civil war, there was no defense force, and thanks to the defense shield surrounded by portals, ordinary people could not access it… It was understandable.

Ji-hyeok, who had been vomiting and still gagging for a while, looked around him and then moved on.
When did you get the clothes?
Jihyeok soon disappeared from the camera’s field of view with staggering steps.
Sehwa asked.

“Can you track it?”

“I don’t know, other than being in Cuneitra right now. Should I put a tracker on or something…”

“What are you doing over there?”

“It used to be an area that was used as a military hub… Now few people live there.”

“Then why are you there…”

“I told you. I need to find out from now on. We’re almost there, so use that.”

The doctor gestured at the niqab and abaya.
It’s a dangerous place, so if someone like Sehwa reveals his face, it’s a perfect target.
If you didn’t want to waste device energy for no reason, it was better to wrap your face and body tightly.

“Yeah… What about the doctor?”

“I will write…”

Beep!

[Song Ji-hyeok’s message has arrived.]

The two heads turned to the monitor.
The doctor hurriedly opened the message.

[Dr. Are you listening? I made a mistake… Damn it…!]

Bang!

A gunshot is heard along with Jihyeok’s urgent voice.
Sehwa’s heart sank.
The doctor was also very nervous at the thought that he might lose a precious colleague.

[I was too complacent…! As soon as you hear the message, come immediately. Syria’s Kunetra, longitude 33.12778, latitude 35.82905… Holy shit! Go away!]

Taang!

Gunshots echoed again along with cursing.
Following…

[Ah!]

Along with Jihyeok’s scream, a crackling noise was heard, and the message was cut off.
He brought both of his hands to his mouth.

“Oh, no…! No…!”

She starts to cry out.
Said the doctor urgently.

“Sehwa-ah, calm down. Start by taking coordinates on the device…”

“Quickly…Quickly…!”

The moment Dr. Nodded at Sehwa’s urging to transmit the coordinates to the device,

Kwaaaaang!!

An explosion occurred in the fighter’s left wing.

“Kyaaaaagh!”
“Ah!”

Due to the tremendous impact, the aircraft suddenly and greatly bent.
The two people holding the belts were fortunately safe, but… The fighter could not be prevented from crashing.

“This…! I can’t eat sticks…”

Kwagwagwak!

A fighter plane lying unsightly on the sand.
Shocked by her body, the doctor whimpered and undid the belt, approaching her unconscious Sae-hwa, not caring that her head was bleeding.
Then she moved her arm and touched the device twice.

Hwaaak!

Saehwa’s body, which tore off the belt and pierced the cockpit, soared, and she transformed into Leona.
Blinking her eyes to see if her spirits had returned, she saw the doctor and hurried down.

“Doctor…! To a place where I am safe…!”

“I’m done, so go to Song first…! I just sent you the coordinates…”

“But you were attacked!”

“Looking at the detectors, the attack came from far away… I have plenty of time to pull myself away… Besides, when Song speaks in such a hurry… Doesn’t that mean the situation isn’t good…?”

That was right.
Because Jihyeok kept his composure even when he was fighting monsters.

“I’m sorry… I’m sorry, Doctor!”

Leona, who apologized to the doctor,

Whoa!

She kicked the air as hard as she could, flying her body to the coordinates printed on the device.

@@

Someone did.
Human greed has no end.
The human experiment taking place in Cuneitra, Syria, where I am now, was also the result of that greed.

“Quaaaaagh!”

The screams of an innocent human being chained to the testing table in front of me were terrifying.
Due to the strange cell injection by the terrorist researcher, the whole body bubbled up like a bubble, and soon began to melt while spewing out the ooze.

These strange cells belonged to demons.
To be precise, it was the dead cells extracted from the corpses of monsters smuggled into Leona and her country’s armies.
They were working on making a chimera-like experiment with the cells.
I was caught here on purpose.

“Ah … Sa -yeo, Sabing …!”

Chii profit!

A human whose body starts to emit smoke.
The monster’s blood is in conflict with you. So give up life gracefully.
I’ll take care of the guy who made you that way.
The human who struggled all over while being bound, soon melted without his shape and gave off a tremendous stench.

This is a place that I and Marcella only knew about, but did not reach out to.
That said, this experiment was the work of a terrorist group.
It was an ugly act of betraying humanity that ordinary people would not even imagine.
They were doing that without batting an eye.

The researcher who cleaned the experiment table by spraying water from a hose, had his subordinates drag me along.
The researcher who has been examining my face closely looks at me intriguedly.

“You are Asian. Asia was where the monster first appeared, maybe?”

The words that came out of the researcher’s mouth were fluent English.
They look like locals enough to slap Muslims… No, let’s not discriminate against them.
All will be equally beheaded.
Who? Beast Slayers.

As I put on a nonchalant expression, the researcher frowned as if he didn’t like it.

“I’ll give you a special gift as I’m an Asian you don’t see often here. It’s the cells of the horsehead monster that appeared in Korea. I heard that you rebelled a lot when you were captured, but you seem to be that energetic even now… You can hold out for quite a while, right?”

A cell of Amdusias.
It’s a monster that’s been around for quite some time, but for smuggling its corpse… I’ll praise you.
Anyway, why is Leona so late?
I have to show my strength at this point… Did Marcella attack the fighter from too far away?

Perong!

Ah, the sound of tearing the air can be heard in the distance.
Leona is coming. I can stay still now.

It was when the researcher tilted his head after seeing my face with arc lines drawn in my eyes.

Whoops! Blasphemy!

A tremendous roar came from above me, and the ceiling shattered into pieces.
The researcher couldn’t even groan and fell under the rubble of the broken ceiling.
I don’t know if he’s dead or alive, but well, you’ll all die here anyway, so let’s not care.

After showing Super Hero Landing from above, Leona came up to me and undid her restraints.
With a clicking sound, the sturdy restraints shattered as if they were being broken.
Leona then cut off the gag that was in her mouth.

“Hey! Huh…”

I let out the breath she had been holding back, gasping for a moment, then looked at Leona.

“Leona…!”

She was in tears
With a very concerned face. It seems that even the expression of resentment is visible.

“Idiot…! Why did you come to such a dangerous place alone…? Where did you get hurt…? No?”

Leona said this in her tearful tone.
I let out a sigh as I bumped my back against the wall as she walked backwards.
Then Leona screamed.

“You’re not hurt!?”

“No… I came close to dying, but thanks to you, I survivedhehe… I came to investigate after getting information that there is a suspicious group related to monsters…”

“Did you send me to Seunghyun for this…? Are you going to move alone?”

“Stop checking and coming… I got caught…”

Bang!

While I was making excuses, the laboratory door opened and the terrorists with firearms murmured something.
The moment their guns were pointed at me, Leona moved and started to smash them all.

Kwajik! Quadduk!

Terrorists fall helplessly with the cruel sound of bones being broken and flesh being ripped off.
Seeing that I was defeated without mercy, it seemed that there would be no mercy for those who caught me.
By the time I came out into the hallway, moving my sulking body around, all of the nearly fifty terrorists had passed out.
Some of them had bizarrely twisted limbs.
After everyone passed out, including the non-combatants, Leona undid her transformation.
And then he walked over to me…

Puck!

Just like at a hotel in Jeju Island, he hit me hard on the shoulder.

“This…”

Fuck!

“Bad…!”

Puck!

“Young…!”

3 hits is good.
I let out a sigh of relief and hugged Sehwa tightly.

“Ahhhhh!”

Then Sehwa burst into tears.
Doctor, I’m starting work from now on, so please come as late as possible.

I patted her on the back and picked up the weapon lying at her feet.
Then Sae-hwa wiped her eyes and she looked up at me.
A look at what you’re going to do with it.
Without saying a word, I took Saehwa’s hand and tapped the device.

Hwaaak!

Leona, who had changed again, was puzzled when she saw my hardened expression.

“Why…? Since…? Are you still there?”

I silently passed Leona, opened the lab door, and gestured to Leona as if to look at it.
After a while, she turned her head and looked at the inside of the laboratory.

“… This, this…”

I was astonished over and over again in astonishment.
