Chapter 2407 – 2407. Eternal Eden
The first thing I did as soon as I arrived at Seongak Elementary School was a physical examination.
Biological experiments were conducted in Tsushima’s secret laboratory. I had to be sure because there might be a virus or something on it. No matter how much I have, I have no intention of using my recovery ability at will.
“Viruses were not the subject of research in Tsushima’s secret laboratory. “I only did research on artificial mutants.”
“If it’s bionics, isn’t it natural to research viruses?”
“Because there are bionics in Ilwoo Group other than me. “I don’t know exactly how many there are.”
As a result of the test, there was no such thing as a new virus.
In the case of Kim Ji-hee, the daughter of Yu Seo-jeong, many drug substances were detected in her blood. It was obvious that she was drunk and was speechless.
Yu Seo-jeong checked her daughter’s condition again and sighed.
“I knew, but… This is serious. Even if she gets treatment from now on, she won’t be back to normal…”
“Worry about her daughter later. Shouldn’t we first talk among ourselves?”
I didn’t go to Tsushima Island and do that shit purely to save one person.
Yoo Seo-jeong, well aware of that fact, nodded her head with a firm expression.
I took her with me and went into her common room on the third floor of her main building. It was a lounge exclusively for executives.
“Can I get you something to drink?”
“Coffee. Is there any?”
“There is. It’s a luxury item that’s hard to find outside… I stocked up on a lot. Oh, it’s instant coffee.”
“I have no intention of complaining about the type of coffee. “Coffee itself is already a luxury item.”
The world is not okay.
Coffee, ramen, and cigarettes that used to be available anytime are now difficult to obtain even if you have money. It was natural that the sea route had stopped. The same goes for other food ingredients. Because of the mutants, it is difficult to do farm work properly. Currently, most Koreans are surviving on emergency food provided by the government.
I have a can of cola. For Yoo Seo-jeong, it’s an instant coffee paper cup. We left a drink and looked at each other.
“… The fact that you raided Tsushima’s secret laboratory to save me means that you saw the video I sent. Seongak Elementary School probably needs bionics. I also know my situation well. I won’t ask you to release it. What I want is… As I said in the video, it is the safety and minimum freedom of my daughter and I.”
“You are becoming a member of our force, so of course your safety must be guaranteed. But what does minimal freedom mean? Are working hours guaranteed?”
“There is that, but the important thing is research. “I don’t want to do human experiments.”
“We can guarantee working hours. If there’s something you want to eat, I can let you eat it as much as possible. I wouldn’t care what you do in your free time as long as it’s not dangerous. But you won’t do human testing? It won’t work. You are bionics. “Human testing is not an option, it is a necessity.”
“Don’t you know how terrible human experimentation is?!”
“Bionics and human experimentation are inseparable. Well, if you look at the clinical trials conducted by pharmaceutical companies, they are ultimately human experiments. And we’ve already done enough to conduct human experiments, so why make such a fuss now?”
“That… It wasn’t something I wanted to do. “I did it because I was forced to do it.”
“Then I told you to do it, so you can do it.”
“…”
Yoo Seo-jeong’s eyebrows tremble. It was clear that he was dissatisfied.
There was no trusting relationship between her and me yet. A relationship of trust must be formed.
‘They say there is nothing thicker than blood.’
Before then, we will closely monitor her actions.
“… I will do it. Instead, when it comes to human experiments, I want to be as humane as possible.”
“I’m not sure about what’s humane. What I want is mainly doping drugs. It’s okay even if it’s temporary. “I want a combat stimulant that can strengthen humans.”
“Usually combat stimulants contain drugs. There are bound to be side effects.”
“Make two kinds. Even though there are side effects, it is effective. “The effect is at least as low as possible with side effects.”
“… “Is that the end of what I have to do?”
“There is also research on variants and mutations. Oh, this isn’t research that turns humans into mutants and manipulates them like the Ilwoo group. Literally studying variants and variants. “I need to know what their weaknesses are.”
Mutants and variants are evolving day by day. Later on, there will be tough guys to kill with just guns and bombs. It is preparation for that time.
“You are properly preparing for the future.”
“Of course, if we prepare for the future, we will be able to survive.”
Only if you survive can you bring the things of this world to reality.
“… All right. I will do whatever you want. Excuse me. Can we get a patient room for Jihee? A normal patient room won’t work. Because the side effects of the medicine can make you run wild. And we need a nurse to take care of Jihee.”
It seems that Kim Ji-hee is the only person in Yoo Seo-jeong’s mind. She had excellent maternal love. I guess Ilwoo Group took advantage of this and held Kim Ji-hee hostage.
“Yoo Seo-jeong. “No, can I call you Dr. Yu?”
“… The title of doctor is burdensome. “I was originally a middle school teacher without a doctorate.”
“Then let’s call him Teacher Yu. Teacher Yu. “Do you know about my abilities?”
“Yes. Ability to manipulate electricity. And recently… “I think I heard that you have the ability to heal wounds.”
“Okay. “It’s roughly this kind of ability.”
I reached out to her head. There was a bandage on her face and a bruise over her eye. It was the aftermath of being hit by Jin Seong-hwa.
Use recovery. The scars on her face disappeared without a trace. Yoo Seo-jeong’s eyes widened. She will know that she has recovered because the pain is gone without her having to look in the mirror.
“It was such an ability. I experienced it firsthand and it’s amazing. There was a reason why the Ilwoo Group said they had to capture you alive.”
“Was there such a story in Ilwoo Group?”
“Yes. I just overheard President Jin Seong-hwa’s story. “Thank you for your kindness.”
“Have you noticed yet? With my ability, I can heal your daughter too. “I can return you to a clean, drug-free body.”
“… Is that possible? “Isn’t drug addiction a trauma?”
“If it was impossible, I didn’t even bring it up.”
Yu Seo-jeong jumped up from her chair. Then, she kneels on the floor and places her palms together as if praying.
I raised the corner of her mouth. That earnest expression and atmosphere. It was very familiar.
“Please, please! Please treat Jihee! If you treat Jihee… Anything. I’ll do anything… !”
Desperate people.
Jeongjingyo sends people periodically. Most of them are sick. They knelt down and prayed to me for their own healing or for their family’s healing.
Giving all your possessions? It’s funny. There was also a man who sacrificed not only his own but also his family’s assets to get treatment for his immobile arm.
Offer yourself? There was also a woman who sacrificed not only her body but also her sisters and friends.
In extreme cases, some even sacrificed their own lives. Most of them were related to family.
I can understand this because I am familiar with it.
Yu Seo-jeong is willing to sacrifice her life to save her daughter.
“Anything?”
“Yes, yes! You can do anything! If you ask me to do human experiments… I will do it!”
“There is no need for that. You escaped because you didn’t want to do that, right? And Mr. Yu. “Be a little more calm.”
“…”
Yu Seo-jeong closed her eyes tightly.
Yoo Seo-jeong is bionics. Drug specialist. Yoo Seo-jeong would be able to cure Kim Ji-hee, who is addicted to drugs. Of course, this is impossible right now. Because research doesn’t happen overnight. Moreover, Yu Seo-jeong had never made drugs. She has been researching the field of mutations so far.
There is only one key.
Can Kim Ji-hee hold on until Yoo Seo-jeong creates her cure?
‘Kim Ji-hee is subject to special management by Ilwoo Group. She couldn’t have just drugged an important person. It looks like she’s been managing it with other bionic technology… We don’t have that technology.’
In short, Kim Ji-hee could not survive even a month, and she could have died.
It didn’t matter to me. Because she can be revived through recovery. I got up from my seat. Yoo Seo-jeong is surprised and grabs the hem of my pants.
“Uh, where are you going?”
“I’ll give you time. Think slowly. Teacher Yu would know. Anything is much harsher than you think. “There’s nothing much to do today, so get some rest.”
“How… “What do you want from me?”
“A woman who would do anything for me. A capable woman who kills if she wants to kill someone, and opens her crotch if she wants to.”
“…”
He patted her speechless shoulder and walked out of her lounge.
• • •
Yoo Seo-jeong looked at Kim Ji-hee lying on her bed. She puts Kim Ji-hee in a straitjacket, and she is put to sleep by sleeping pills.
She couldn’t help it. When Jihee Kim wakes up, she goes crazy from the drugs. She is in an unexpected situation. For example, she had to be put in a straitjacket to avoid the worst-case scenario of self-harm. Because I can’t force her to sleep 24 hours a day with sleeping pills. Additionally, sleeping pills were harmful to the body.
“Jihee…”
Yoo Seo-jeong’s hand swept over Kim Ji-hee’s body. She did not have the vibrant body of Kim Ji-hee. She was originally a pretty child and her beauty still remained, but her hair was dull, and her skin was cracked.
Seong Yu-jin’s words appear in Yoo Seo-jeong’s mind.
Anything.
A slave who kills if he kills and punishes if he wants to be punished.
She left the secret laboratory and came here to escape from slavery, but her situation does not change even here.
No, hemp is still better than a secret laboratory. At least here, no drugs are administered to Kim Ji-hee’s body.
Yu Seo-jeong was worried. She thought and thought again.
The first thing that came to mind was to run away and rely on the Korean government. Wouldn’t the government at least treat us like human beings? There was a vague expectation. But she immediately erased her expectations.
In today’s world, it is not easy to trust the government. Above all, it was difficult to get out of here with Kim Ji-hee. Although it was not at the level of Tsushima’s secret laboratory, the security here was tight.
‘… I can understand you treating me like a slave. Because the power of bionics is that great. But spread your legs? That… ‘You want my body.’
Yu Seo-jeong knew herself well. She was herself and she was an ajumma. For a young woman, she had quite a few flaws. Her large breasts were saggy, and every inch of her body had a lot of flab. She is a single mother and has been with a man for over 20 years.
‘Do you have a taste for older women?’ ? What if he’s disappointed when he sees my body?’
Yu Seo-jeong belatedly realized that she had already surrendered to him. There was no will left in him to resist. It was too difficult to do that. If he only sacrifices himself, he can save Kim Ji-hee. Her easy path was right in front of her.
‘Jihee. If you can recover and get back to normal… Mom can do anything.’
Even if it means becoming a sex slave for a man my daughter’s age.
