Episode 120. Essence (22)

If it was ‘Hansanwoo’, bringing a woman into the room wasn’t such a strange incident.

However, if that woman had butchered Han San-woo’s body with a ‘special weapon’, even those who were indifferent to Han San-woo’s antics would have been shocked.

“I trusted you, Master.”

Sansuhwa was competent as always. While I was also wondering how to handle this, he sorted out the situation with an indifferent expression.

Lying in the hospital bed, I praised the landscape painting with an awkward expression.

“But I’m not sure right now.”

“Be honest with me. What you did, Master, was it really safe?”

Sansuhwa’s eyes were serious. I couldn’t lie in front of her.

“I didn’t think Doris would kill me on purpose. I was sure of that.”

“Is that the kind of information I don’t know?”

Sansuhwa nodded slowly.

“Then I will not ask any more questions. However, according to what you said, if it was not intentional, I could have killed you at any time.”

I had no answer. I just smiled awkwardly.

“I understand that it must have been a situation where you had no choice. But from now on… please be a little more careful.”

“I promise.”

“Doris, you know… Are you okay?”

“It’s clean. I thought you had talent, but I didn’t think it would be to this extent.”

When I heard positive words coming out of Sansuhwa’s mouth, I felt a sense of relief.

“According to the master, she was able to go about her daily life without any problems for several years without any way to relieve her desires. The world is so big, I can’t believe there are people like that.”

Talent, luck, blessing. It was an ability that was not strange no matter how you put it into words.

If an ordinary person had a ‘desire’ like Doris, he would have run to the entrance of Hansan Tower in just a few months, been shot in the face, and become a cold corpse.

Being able to rationally judge that it is impossible to achieve your goal by running to the entrance and waiting patiently for it is a level of talent that goes beyond ordinary talent.

“It turned out that he had a high level of implant resistance and a pretty decent desire.”

“……That’s not it. From a general point of view, the desire to take up arms against a member of Hansan is not considered a win.”

Sansuhwa’s point was valid.

Even if it were me, if a stranger I was meeting asked me, “I need to stab you in the back of my mind so I can come to my senses. Could you hit me just once?”, I wouldn’t have anything to say to them except, “Get out of here.”

“Well, it’s a solvable problem anyway.”

Most of the desires that arise as a result of implant side effects are primal desires.

Common desires include dominance, destruction, sexual desire, hunger, and, less commonly, sleep.

But even if it was a ‘slightly special’ desire rather than that kind of desire, it generally did not end well.

People who have the same desire to ‘fall’ cannot even climb up anywhere without wearing a very special implant at all times.

People who have the same desire to ‘laugh’ are no different. The obligatory laughter dominates his head, and in the end, a ridiculous ending awaits him, where he dies from laughter.

In comparison, Doris, who had endured years of implants and then calmed down after a few cuts, could be considered lucky.

“It is true that his talent itself is outstanding. If we look at that alone, it wouldn’t be strange if he were to become my successor.”

“Is that all… Anyway, that’s fortunate.”

Still, to this extent, we were able to solve all the problems while minimizing the damage.

I lay there and thought to myself countless times, ‘Are there any weaknesses I have left?’ but nothing came to mind.

“Then, should I take a break…….”

“That’s definitely a yes. Why on earth do you live as if you’re being chased like that-.”

Before Sansuhwa finished speaking, a nurse came into the room.

The nurse calmly checked my body.

Although no blood was flowing out, it wasn’t completely healed yet either.

She left. Something was strange.

“……Why is your expression like that?”

“Is there a problem?”

“It’s nothing special… but there was something strange about your face. It wasn’t the look I usually get.”

Most of the time, Hansan employees look at me in the same way. They are either very scared or trying to make an impression with a cheerful attitude and full of ambition.

But the look in the eyes of the nurse who left earlier was a little different.

“It seems like they’re looking at me with pity, but it also seems like they’re looking at me with a bit of disgust or something strange.”

There was nothing I could be sure of. I had no mind-reading powers.

Maybe it’s weird that I have such thoughts after just making eye contact once.

“Oh, I understand that.”

“What? What is really going on?”

I looked at the landscape painting in surprise.

“Well, it wasn’t easy to finish the work neatly.”

“yes?”

Not only me, but Doris also needs treatment.

Rumors like “Han San-woo was attacked” should not spread. However, security is ultimately maintained by people, and if you don’t give them a “plausible” reason, they may perceive this as an internal conflict or a power struggle.

Even ‘Hansanwoo’, who could have definitely controlled traffic in that situation, was lying down and sleeping.

A fallen man and woman, the man’s body torn to pieces, and the woman who, no matter how I think about it, doesn’t seem like she came in the ‘normal way’.

It would be right to think of it as assassination. In fact, it would be wrong to say that.

In a normal situation, this should have been reported to the upper echelons of Hansan, and Hansanmok, who had left with a relieved heart, should have turned the warship around in anger.

“I took the easy way out. Private life is an area that is not easily touched.”

“Because a man and a woman were in the same room. I don’t know about anything else, but since it was the Lord’s direct order to kill people… it wasn’t that difficult.”

I felt dizzy. Surely all the blood I had lost had been replenished, but it felt like there was a lack of blood in some part of my body.

“So what you’re saying is, that is…….”

It may be my imagination, but it seemed like Sansuhwa smiled a little bit just now.

“Yes. The young master got tired of the repetitive relationship and started seeking stronger stimulation… and that’s the result. At least that’s what they believe.”

“Haven’t you provided enough evidence? The two were sleeping while hugging each other tightly as if they were lovers, and Ms. Doris also happened to hang out with ‘Lee Seon-woo’.”

It was perfect. Sansuhwa was indeed a capable woman.

I had to accept the reality that while I was sleeping, countless comments about my tastes were bound to circulate.

The house was empty, with only one person left.

It’s a much nicer house than where I lived before. I don’t have to worry about ads when I turn on the computer, and I don’t have to wait around for something boring.

But that silence tormented Luna and Ravina more than they had imagined.

“……There’s nothing.”

There was nothing on the news. It was as if nothing happened yesterday.

But Luna and Ravina saw the end of Doris, the sight of her breaking the glass window of Hansan Tower and entering through it.

That was the end of it. Nothing happened.

“I need to eat something.”

Luna served breakfast listlessly. Ravina, who was lying on the sofa, picked up the fork with difficulty.

“Now, what should we do?”

“Well. First, I need to rest a bit… and gather my thoughts. Then, I can get back to work-.”

“I lost my motivation.”

Luna was a precious friend to Ravina. But with one missing, the mercenary work was no longer the noble cause that brought the three together.

Doris fought for her goal and eventually disappeared. Whether she succeeded or failed, she would have died.

“Why… why. Seonwoo, even though you were so good to me….”

It was forced. Ravina knew it too.

Unlike Ravina’s problem, which he was able to solve with his help, Doris’ problem was beyond his reach.

Even if Lee Seon-woo was a capable Hansan employee, or rather, because of that, he would not have been able to participate in killing Hansan people.

If Doris was alive, she might have managed to get her out somehow, but the odds were too slim. Ravina gave up.

“To get things started again, we need to find a new vanguard. Doris was… an essential force for our mercenary group.”

“I guess I should change my name too. Ah…… I don’t like it. I really don’t like it. Why, why…….”

A sense of resentment filled Ravina’s mind.

It felt like a bad dream. The thought of not being able to see Doris tomorrow, or the day after, made me lose all hope for tomorrow.

Ravina looked at the door.

It seemed as if Doris would come in at any moment. She entered the password with a natural, innocent expression, as if she had gone out on an errand, and opened the door.

A beeping sound rang out. Even though she knew it couldn’t be, Ravenna froze and looked at the door.

Luna was no different. No one was allowed to come in here, and no one was even allowed to press the password.

And then, the door opened.

“Oh, hello? Did you eat breakfast?”

Doris came in with an indifferent look on her face.

With her usual bright smile, as if she had been freed from something that had been binding her.
