31The second word overturns the game board (Episode 459)
All of this happened within two days. There will be no lies in this case..
Ur, who noticed Eragon's appearance, stopped researching a cure for frost fever the next day..
In the Silver Lion Society, only Mariju could receive the news. Along the way, Mariju burst into Ur's office, which had not yet opened a new door..
And we talked for about an hour. Ur gave her her unilateral notice. What to prepare for, what to consider, and what to ignore.
Mariju muttered and disappeared so as not to forget everything..
“Whoa whoa….”
Although I said this in a cheerful tone, I already knew in my bones that the situation was serious..
“Eragon is already shining... They say it's not strange no matter when something happens..”
Grace period of only one month.
Ur thought even that was an overly optimistic judgment..
It was no wonder that the human era collapsed at any time. The precursor to collapse could be fifteen days later, a week later, or even tomorrow..
Cheolkeong…
Ur headed to the lab and took out the experimental dogs and monkeys..
Crrrrrrr…
Kiyi…
All of them were suffering from severe frost fever. All subjects administered laxatives fell asleep and were excluded from this experiment..
“Well, I'm sorry.”
Woooouk…
Joowoouk…
Ur, who in turn injects the animals with groove pathogens that cause frost fever..
Since cultivating the frost fever host requires time, it is an action that was not normally taken because there is a risk of losing valuable test subjects..
It was also a wasteful study of little significance in the development of palliatives or treatments..
However, now that the situation has changed, I can no longer relax..
Sigh…
Sigh…
The bodies of dogs and monkeys began to grow larger than before..
“Tell me what's coming.”
Kuzyjik…
Kujijijijijik…
Wow!-!
Wow!-!
The laboratory began to fill with their flesh..
Jiiiiiiing…
“…what?”
Ur's eyes became sharper..
Cheolpuk…
The expansion did not last long..
The test subjects quickly got bruises on the backs of their heads, and then poof! And the flesh burst and became limp..
Is this what frost fever says??
“no… no.”
Frost fever was initially spread through a drug called Home. It wasn't something dogs and monkeys would breathe in..
“It was created to target humans.….”
The home was created targeting humans, and humans were chosen as a means of transmitting frost fever..
Ur paid no attention to the fatality rate of frost fever. The people currently dying from frost fever are dying from other problems caused by long-term illness and not from frost fever itself..
In other words, it has not been revealed what happens to those suffering from frost fever at the end..
‘By the way, at first glance it is clear….’
Before the test subject died from excessive stimulation, the area where the skull was began to swell and showed a slight but magical response..
That was clearly a magic reaction..
Cheolkeong…
Cheolkeong…
Crrrrrrr…
Ur took out the test subjects trapped in the iron bars one by one. The question of whether it is okay to sacrifice other lives to preserve life has always been used as the central axis of the scales of justice..
These days, there are more days when the scale is tipped to one side..
* * *
next day.
“Hmm hmm….”
Han So-mi hesitated several times near Ur's office. She was choosing a greeting.
First impressions are very important.
It was the same whether it was a first meeting or a frequent meeting..
“Ah, jjajaan! hmm… This is a bit frivolous….”
Impression when you open the door and enter.
Han So-mi thought that this would have a significant impact on what kind of conversation would take place during that day's meeting..
“Phew….”
brightly.
Han So-mi was aware that she had to act as cheerfully as possible..
“huh?”
there was no door.
Come to think of it, Jamard made another one yesterday..
Han So-mi enters the office, inevitably sticking her foot out into the space where the door should be..
“De, stirrups… what?”
Ur was not there.
“…what.”
Han So-mi looked around the office with the intention of waiting for Ur to come..
I could see the number of doors that had increased since yesterday, and the books that filled the closet..
The desk was full of documents..
Some of them were related to palliatives..
“These are all difficult words... amazing.”
Even though he is not a professional pharmacist, wouldn't he be able to quickly create an effective medicine if given time? Wouldn't the arrogant nobles of the Silver Lion Society obediently follow his orders?….
“hmm? This….”
Among the pile of documents, there was a paper that caught my eye..
“…list?”
Zech…
Seueuugh…
Just as Han So-mi was about to take it out and check it.
“It's something a stray cat would do..”
“uh? Wow, I'm here?”
“What's going on??”
“Chilly… I just came here. They say she can't sleep.”
“It takes everything. When you have time to worry about those around you, try to pay more attention to your own safety..”
“…what does that mean?”
Han So-mi, who recently met Ur, felt that he had become a little strange. What can I say… Should I say that the reaction is so sharp that it is embarrassing to approach??
“…what's going on?”
“There is nothing to know. If there's anything to do, I'll pass it on to Jamard. no… I already gave it to him..”
“My eyes are a little blurry.….”
“That's how it is.”
“Big... It smells a bit too.”
“It's true that I didn't wash it..”
“…Are you sure you are resting properly? if… If you have any problems, I will help you.”
“…help? you… me?”
Of course, it’s strange..
Ur was usually calm, but he didn't crush the other person's mood like this..
“what… That's what you say…?”
“Go, don't come here for a while..”
I was in tears, overcome by evil..
“no, I do not want!”
“…Don't be stubborn.”
“I don't like that either!”
“……Pfft.”
Ur laughed..
“Tsk tsk… Wow... This is funny.”
“I'm smiling now?”
“Somi Han. Thanks to you, I feel a little better. Now go back.”
“also… What's the problem??”
Sigh…
Ur putting his hand on Han So-mi's shoulder.
“From today onwards, never leave Jamard..”
“yes?”
“I told Jamard too. Do as you are told..”
Taaaaagh-!
When Ur snapped his fingers, Han So-mi was enveloped in a halo of light and was expelled from the building..
“Phew….”
After retrieving the list she was holding, Ur headed to the basement..
2nd basement floor.
It's a closed laboratory..
Four men and women in prison uniforms were sitting on chairs with their hands tied behind their backs..
“Your face is much better than before..”
“It's none of your business..”
“The guy who conducts human experiments is stretching out.….”
Ur answered them with an expressionless face..
“Kali Omazia murdered five members of her family..”
“Why do I leave out the fact that those family members raped my sister and threw her in the river?.”
“Because the story just gets longer. I am explaining that you have been sentenced to death and today is the date you are scheduled to be executed..”
“joy. The same goes for the guys next to me.?”
Criminals with a vicious look.
They were all scheduled to be executed today..
“Viang killed 12 people, including the investigator.….”
“Stop, if you're going to kill me, kill me quickly. You probably don’t want to hear my excuses.?”
“…….”
Ur gathered them together for an experiment..
“right. you die today.”
“…….”
“Unlucky.”
“It was today.”
Those who are resigned and those who are sarcastic.
“Guys, is there anything you want to eat before you die??”
“Could this be it??”
“The Last Supper... Not a child.”
“Fuck it. Just kill me.”
“End it quickly and without pain.”
Ur shook his head..
“you will die painfully.”
“…what?”
“What kind of bullshit is this??”
“you! Who sent it??”
He explained calmly.
“You won't believe it, but….”
Ur told those who were forced to participate in the experiment what would happen next..
Eragon's existence and a new era. And not only the fall of the Federation, but the survival of humanity itself..
“…believe it?”
“That's fun.”
The response was consistent..
no one believed.
“So from now on, I plan to check with you guys to see what happens when frost fever progresses to its final stages. One of the reasons you were selected is that you are already infected..”
“…If we are already tainted, is it okay if we die? You're so cold-hearted.”
“Human free will or something... Is that not applicable at all??”
Ur's expression was the same throughout. overly businesslike expression.
“Anyway, this one is going with all its might. Whether it's humanity or morality, I plan to put off useless things..”
“You mean to use everything that is available? Can you handle it? I think we're going to die quite horribly..”
“Tsk tsk… Those with small livers get sick of just looking at a corpse. you….”
Ur rested his arms and rested his chin on the desk facing them..
“It’s okay because it happens often..”
“…….”
“…….”
Only then did everyone start talking about what they wanted to eat..
“Drink with chopped banana.”
“Stinky pork, lots of it.”
“lamb.”
Finally, the young man in the most corner spoke..
“mom food.”
“……Specifically.”
“Uh, what my mom used to do… Ugly potato porridge, I liked it.”
the young man added.
“…It must be hard, right? But if you just eat that, I'll cooperate as much as I can..”
Taaak-!
Urga called a soldier from the Silver Lion Society and searched for the young man's mother. She is definitely alive, and she said she would treat her as much as she wanted..
“Hey, I want to change. That guy wants to eat the food his mom cooks..”
“Me too, I don't have a mother.”
“Ugly Potato Porridge never fails. I like it too.”
After a while, an ugly bowl of potato porridge, too large for four people, was placed on their table..
tup…
tup…
“Damn it, it tastes bad..”
“My mom can't cook.”
“Why didn't you tell me earlier? Damn you bastard.”
“Tsk tsk… Kihihi….”
the woman laughed.
“It's so tasteless that it's perfect to eat before you die. If you tell me to live on food like this, I'd rather die.”
“Thanks for the compliments. It's a wonder I'm still alive.”
“Yes, baby. what… I guess your mother likes you.”
“Did you feel it??”
“…huh.”
After eating the table…
Jiyiing…
Clap…
The bulkhead of the laboratory was lowered..
The space they were in was divided into four areas..
“What is this doing??”
“Because I don't want to mess up and ruin the experiment. So that they don't affect each other..”
“Ah, good. Are you saying that only you can see my ugly appearance? I heard he died very pathetically from frost fever or something..”
nod…
“ha….”
“Hehehehe….”
Ur said.
“Hold on as long as you can.”
“I thought so even if I didn't say it.”
“…Well then, consider me the devil..”
Because contact with needles can cause seizures, the frost fever bacteria is sprayed mixed with gas..
Pushyyyy…
Has it been about a minute since the smoke was introduced?.
“Crrrrr….”
“Wow!!”
Kwaaaaang-!
Kwaaaaang-!
Death row inmates hitting the bulkhead.
It was unsettling to see the bulkheads keep collapsing every time you hit them, but the important thing now is not to miss their changes even for a moment..
Fuwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa…
“damn….”
The woman who was ranting was the first to die when her head exploded..
Pushyyy…
The acting continued to be put in..
Since it was a forced reaction, it couldn't be right in all situations. If just one person could discover the secret of frost fever, that would be enough..
“Wow!!”
Bang bang bang-!
Another death row inmate, this time committing suicide by hitting his head against the bulkhead..
“damn….”
Time is running out, but two meaningless deaths have already occurred..
“Wow.!”
Fuwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
The third death row inmate collapses with blue blood gushing from every vein..
Now only the young man who emptied the bowl by himself is left..
“…you.”
“…….”
“…I'm conscious?”
The young man glared at Ur with bloodshot, blue eyes..
“Cooperate as much as possible... I said I would… I told you….”
A test subject who endures pain beyond imagination. Ur was amazed at his mental strength..
“You know,….”
“say. The final response has not yet been reached..”
“Be cool… pup….”
“say. don't lose your mind.”
“i killed someone.”
“I know, I saw the records..”
“dozens of people.”
“I saw.”
“They are all the children who bullied me... I've probably killed the most people here..”
“…okay. It's not something to brag about, though..”
“this… If I endure until the end... Are you saving that many people??”
“So many people that you can't even compare.”
The young man grinned..
“So, will I go to heaven when I die? Will I go to hell??”
“…I'm the one going to hell.”
Grinning…
“I guess I won't be lonely.”
Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…
Startle!
Ur focused on the reaction that occurred in the young man's body..
“this… Frost Fever's Final Reaction.”
Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…
The young man's body glowed bright blue and expanded. Like Chaila, the nobleman of the Silver Lion Society who opposed him earlier..
“ah… I can't stand it anymore….”
“…Good work. I'll do my best.”
Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!
The lab was in a binge..
