Episode 115: The destructive power of Dodaki’s massage

* * *

10 minutes before Cheon Do-un found them.

Kim Cheol-soo went out to meet his teacher when he returned to Korea. Kim Cheol-soo asked as he went home with his teacher.

“Master. “Was the TDA lab an illegal lab?”

He didn’t ask again.

I asked, looking straight into my teacher’s eyes to check his reaction.

“What do you mean? “Where did you hear such nonsense?”

The answer was quick. The teacher’s voice was calm and his expression was gentle.

“As I said before, the research institute I worked at was a place that improved people’s lives.”

It’s a lie. Now I know.

His teacher has a habit of squinting his eyes slightly when he tells lies.

It was only recently that I found out about it, and my teacher was now exhibiting that habit.

“Please tell me the truth. If it’s true, you should go apologize to the victims. “If he is not already dead, shouldn’t he at least pay some compensation to his surviving family members?”

“What do you mean, victim?”

“I guess you didn’t see the article because you were overseas.”

Cheolsu Kim posted an article on his cell phone.

【TDA Research Institute_Remains of Tory No. 17】

The teacher’s eyes were shaken by the phrase that appeared with the photo.

His gaze was fixated on the phrase “remains of number 17” and did not move.

“This number 17, you mean the victim? Was it something like the number of the test subject?”

“Well, well. “I don’t know.”

“There’s no way you wouldn’t know.”

A new voice chimed in from overhead. When I looked up in surprise, people were falling from the sky.

A light landing without a sound.

The old man and Kim Cheol-su looked at him and up alternately with surprised faces.

All you see are tall buildings. I didn’t understand where it had fallen.

Cheon Do-un, who was standing in front of them, looked at the old man.

“I don’t even remember the name. Well, it was probably a pseudonym anyway, so I’ll skip it. “You’re a Mandragora lover, right?”

“W-what…” Well, what does that mean… .”

The old man took a step back without realizing it.

Mandragora lover. The nickname he was given at the institute during his youth.

Everyone who knows the nickname from back then is probably dead, so what happened?

When the old man was embarrassed, Kim Cheol-soo came forward.

“This is the person who submitted the bone fragment at the auction house.”

“Do you mean interest?”

The old man had wary eyes. Who on earth knows about TDA Research Institute?

‘Are you a student of a classmate at the lab?’

That’s what I thought, but no one guessed.

“I do not know?”

“What is that… “Have you ever met me?”

“Yes. “They transplanted these cells into me.”

The old man’s eyes widened at Cheon Do-un’s words.

During his time at the research institute, he had transplanted Mandragora cells only once.

“Aaaah!”

The old man took a step back and sat down.

“Number 17… ! How dare you! Why are you here, alive…? Ugh… .”

The old man gaped with a white face.

Cheon Do-un grabbed the old man by the collar and lifted him like a piece of luggage.

“Where is home?”

When I asked Cheolsu Kim, he pointed to an apartment across the street.

“Well, the first floor over there is Master’s house.”

“okay? Then let’s go in. “Open the door.”

“yes yes!”

Kim Cheol-soo took the card key out of his teacher’s pocket and opened the door.

“Hey, you ungrateful bastard! You should take the teacher’s side, what the… !”

The old man’s words could not continue. Cheon Do-un dragged him into the house.

The old man’s house was reminiscent of a botanical garden. There were flower pots everywhere, and showcases were filled with dried plant specimens.

“It’s similar to the private research lab back then. “Do you still have that curiosity about plants?”

Cheon Do-un threw the old man into the living room.

When he saw the old man sitting on the sofa, he stepped backwards.

“you… “Are you really number 17?”

It was so long ago that I don’t remember the face.

But once I had doubts, that image vaguely came to mind.

My unique relaxed atmosphere, voice, and eyes.

It’s him. It’s number 17. The moment he realized it, a shiver ran down his spine.

“Huh, how are you still alive!”

“You’re alive too.”

“Isn’t it different from that? you… The last time I saw you… .”

My brain was damaged and I was losing my ability to think like a human being.

After that, I was kicked out of the research center for various reasons, so I don’t know what happened.

However, when I last saw him, number 17 was not in a state where he could speak fluently like he can now.

While the old man was confused, Kim Cheol-su was also surprised.

‘Why do you call that person number 17? Isn’t number 17 the remains?’

Kim Cheol-soo tilted his head. A beat later, I realized it was fake ashes.

The author in front of you is called number 17.

In other words, I am a victim of my teacher’s experiment. Kim Cheol-soo hesitated and then stood up.

“I’ll be out.”

My teacher’s reaction convinced me that TDA was an illegal research institute.

In that case, it was not my place as an outsider to intervene.

“Hey you bastard! “Where are you going, abandoning your teacher?”

The teacher shouted behind him, but Kim Cheol-soo bowed his head and left.

When only the two of them were left, the old man immediately got down on his knees.

“I was sorry!”

“The attitude change is quick.”

“Because I did something.”

“You did it. “I think I told my student that TDA is a useful place that helps with daily life.”

“Well, that’s… I received a disciple at an old age… I wanted to save face, so without realizing it… .”

The old man said hesitantly. Cheon Do-un looked at it and pointed to the sofa across from him.

“sit down.”

“Hey, do you forgive me?”

“Forgiveness and all. “If it were you, I wouldn’t kill you right now.”

The word ‘now’ sounds strangely scary.

When their eyes met, Cheon Do-un smiled. It may have seemed like a gentle smile to others, but the old man was not fooled.

That idiot is the one who buries people in the ground with a face like that. He’s the guy who pushes people out of windows with a face like that.

A fool is not called a fool for nothing.

“why… “Why are you leaving me alone?”

The old man asked, kneeling instead of sitting on the sofa.

It is better to sell early. Let’s just ask and be more comfortable.

When the old man asked, Cheon Do-un answered.

“It was the only one at TDA that did research for children.”

“Me, do you mean me?”

“You were very interested in the plant monster’s unique regenerative ability, right? “I studied only that field.”

Cheon Do-un traced an old memory.

“I remember that many children survived thanks to the regenerative cell transplantation they studied.”

Cheon Do-un buried himself on the back of the sofa and continued.

“Of course, if that’s all there is to it, there’s no reason to keep it alive. “It just so happened that the field we were dealing with was regenerative ability, and the fact that it was tested on humans doesn’t change.”

The old man’s face became prickly at Cheon Do-un’s words.

“However, before transplanting cells into children’s bodies, you first experimented on your own body, right?”

“that… .”

“Medicines that had side effects were not implanted in children. We transplanted only those that were deemed safe. is not it?”

“I am… .”

The old man couldn’t say anything.

Did you do that out of a sense of justice? no. If someone asked, I couldn’t nod my head.

If he were a just person, he would never have entered such a research institute in the first place.

“I heard that it was because they wanted to experience the side effects of plant cell transplantation for themselves. that’s right?”

The old man’s shoulders trembled.

“I guess that’s right. “The drugs that were confirmed safe were also implanted in children because we wanted to obtain more data.”

The old man couldn’t say anything.

“Well, that’s okay. Whatever the reason, it is true that many of the children used in the experiment survived thanks to the regenerative cells they studied.”

That was the reason for not killing the old man right away.

‘Because you can kill at any time. For now, let’s take out the necessary information.’

Cheon Do-un muttered to himself. At that moment, the old man’s spine shivered.

I felt like my life was going up and down on the scales.

“No matter what, you watched and watched children being used as test subjects. “You will have to pay for it.”

“B-but… Isn’t that the same for you too? With your strength, you can turn the research institute upside down… .”

The old man stopped talking. When I made eye contact with Cheon Do-un, my whole body went numb.

“I guess you forgot what spell you engraved on the kids right after you kidnapped them?”

The old man had a look on his face.

If you leave the laboratory without permission for more than 3 days, you will die.

Even if you take an action that harms the existence of the laboratory, the detonation spell is activated immediately.

Cheon Do-un used to be called a fool there, but that happened within the boundaries where the explosion spell was not activated.

Person-to-person behavior. That’s why it was possible.

The moment this is done to multiple researchers simultaneously, an explosion spell is activated.

No matter how special treatment was received at the research institute, that part did not change.

“Well, that’s true too. As you know, I didn’t get along well with the guys at the lab. “It’s because of the strange system called Ranked Battle that you guys created.”

Children who thought of themselves as a thorn in their eyes and cursed at them, telling them to die quickly.

There was also a child who added poison to his meal when the time for the rank match approached.

There was no reason to risk your life for those people.

“Well, anyway. “That’s not what’s important right now.”

Cheon Do-un glanced at the old man.

“He also experimented with his own body. That one also became a chimera. The transplanted cells… It seems like the proportion of Mandragora cells is high. that’s right?”

“Yeah, that’s right.”

A mad scientist who even used his own body as an experiment.

The old man was like that.

‘I said I felt a strangely familiar energy. I guess it was because of the Mandragora cells.’

A strange feeling, like encountering one of my own kind. This is how I felt when I saw Mandragora.

So how will the real Mandragora react when he sees that old man?

Cheon Do-un opened his waist bag.

-Huh?

When the bag was opened, Dodak showed his face. When the old man took out the dodaki and placed it on her table, her eyes widened.

“Well, that’s… !”

The plumpness of the roots, the freshness of the leaves, the lively black eyes.

“Now, let’s make a natural mandrag…” !”

He is someone who has studied Mandragora all his life. He recognized Dodak at a glance.

Is that the natural mandragora I only heard about? The old man’s breathing became heavy.

-Whoa, whoa… ?

Dodak looked at the old man and tilted his head.

There’s something strange about that old Mandragora. Even though we are of the same race, I feel bad for some reason.

Dodak jumped off the table to return to his helper.

The target point is on Cheon Do-un’s lap.

Dodak’s jump, as always, did not reach the target point.

Cheon Do-woon, who was expecting it, placed his palm on the spot where Dodak fell.

hug. Dodak landed belly-first.

He made Dodak, who had landed on his palm, sit on his lap.

“As you can see, even though it is natural, Mandragora does not have motor skills. Because they are creatures that spend most of their lives buried underground. “There is no natural motor skills.”

So I could understand why Dodak’s jump was so poor.

“Plus, my eyesight is not good. Because you can’t clearly see the target point where you need to land. “I guess this is what I played thinking I was playing properly.”

Race-specific lower motor skills and low vision.

As they live buried underground, unnecessary functions naturally deteriorate.

“You’ve been studying Mandragora your whole life. “If you have a solution to this, please give it to me.”

“Why should I tell you that?”

Unlike before, the old man said with a stern expression.

“I admit that I did something wrong in the past. I can’t help it if you kill me for that crime. “But if you want to do my research, that’s different!”

The old man jumped up and shouted.

“Searching this house won’t help. “All research records so far are contained here.”

The old man pointed to his head and said.

There is no use in torturing. I made up my mind. I would rather die than hand over my life’s research to someone else.

The old man spoke with such force.

‘That’s the type of person where torture would be useless.’

After thinking for a moment, Cheon Do-woon took off Dodak’s coat.

As he took off his retro checkered coat and set it aside, the old man’s eyes went there.

“M-mandrago coat… .”

small. precious. I want that coat. The old man swallowed dry saliva.

Meanwhile, Cheon Do-un took out a moisturizing cream from his bag.

-Huh!

Dodak, who saw this, lay down on Cheon Doun’s lap. She patted her plump belly.

It was a signal that the massage was ready.

‘Well, what is that that makes that vicious Mandragora react like that?’

The old man’s eyes widened at Dodak’s reaction.

Cheon Do-un scooped up a lot of moisturizing cream and rubbed it on Dodak’s stomach.

-Help… Huh… .

Ah, yes, this is it. This feeling. This feeling. This moisture.

Dodak’s eyes closed. Her body relaxed and slumped from fatigue.

“Oh oh… !”

The old man who saw that exclaimed.

After massaging his stomach sufficiently, Dodak moved slowly and fell down.

Now, rub your back too. My back needs to be moist.

The old man’s heart started pounding as he looked like he was saying that.

Tododog, Tododog. Knock knock knock. Cheon Do-woon’s fingers massaged Dodak’s back as if he was hitting a keyboard.

Every time, Dodak’s body shook.

-Huh, huh, huh, huh… .

The sound that came out every time the finger hit the back was full of satisfaction.

The old man’s eyes filled with desire when he saw that.

I want to do it too. I also trashed Mandragora like that, falling into ruin… .

“Me too… .”

“no.”

“Joe, just a little… !”

“no.”

Cheon Do-un rubbed the roots of his feet with moisturizing cream. Dodaki’s leaves trembled at that.

-Huh… !

Ah, it tickles. Helper, that is a ticklish place.

Dodaki hit Cheon Doun’s knee with the root of his arm.

“Me too… ! Even just a foot massage… !”

“no.”

The old man’s knees fell at the sound of a voice that came out without any pitch.

He collapsed in a frustrated position, his shoulders shaking.

“this… “You cruel!”

I was confident that I would not open my mouth no matter how much torture I received.

If you want to protect your knowledge, you can die here.

Although he was so prepared, the old man collapsed due to the unexpected mental torture.

He clutched his chest and looked at Dodak. Those eyes were moist and trembled.

Cheon Do-woon opened his mouth while rubbing Dodak’s back with his fingers.

“There is a Mandragora habitat in the snowy mountains beyond the gate.”

“West, habitat… !”

“There are about 100 roots living there. “This guy is the leader who led the group.”

“Woah, he was the leader!”

-Huh!

With perfect timing, Dodak roared. She seemed to be positive that she was the leader.

“I installed this moisturizing cream container on that snowy mountain… .”

“I said… ?”

“The roots massage themselves… .”

“Ha, doing it!”

Cheon Do-un kept his mouth shut. The old man became restless at that.

There were two ways to make people crazy.

One is to stop talking, and the other is… .

“What are you doing while massaging? “What’s next?”

The old man shouted with thirsty eyes.
