Episode 148: The small helper and Dodak

Cheon Do-un also looked surprised.

No matter how you look at it, what number 49 was talking about was liquid metal. Has it already been discovered in an older era?

“Where did you hide that vial?”

“The room I was using. It’s a room at the end of the hallway on the second floor. When I remove the bed, there is a crack in the wall. “I put it in there.”

“I couldn’t go to the second floor because the hallway was blocked.”

There, the wall had collapsed and the passage was blocked.

If No. 49 had left the laboratory and no one found it, the vial would have stayed there.

“I’ll go and see.”

Cheon Do-un said as he entered the building.

* * *

The inside of the lab was kept clean.

It was the result of Nam Ki-seok and Su-kwon Park rolling up their sleeves and working.

The second floor hallway, which had been blocked when the ceiling collapsed, was left wide open.

“Are we here?”

Cheon Do-un opened the room number 49 mentioned and entered. The door creaked, but the inside was fine.

Cheon Do-un pushed the bed to the side. As number 49 said, there was a crack in the wall.

When I put my hand inside it, I caught a small bottle.

Size 5 cm. It was a thin medicine bottle about the width of two fingers.

‘I heard it was moving… ‘Not now.’

When I shook the bottle, the silver liquid inside slowly sloshed around.

But that’s it. He showed no signs of moving on his own.

Let’s go out and check it out. Cheon Do-un took his medicine and left the room.

He walked down the hallway and looked around.

The atmosphere seemed different just because the collapsed rubble was gone.

‘Looking at it like this, it’s in better condition than I thought.’

Cheon Do-un planned to tear down this place once the investigation was over.

But when I saw it cleaned up, I thought it would be a waste to throw it away like this.

‘It will be quite usable if repaired. There are a lot of rooms, so I could give one to each guest.’

Any cracks can be reinforced with green spider web.

A collapsed ceiling can be supported by building a new pillar.

Since we have great workers, the work itself will be completed quickly.

The question was whether it could really be used in practice.

Cheon Do-un himself didn’t care. But there was no guarantee that his siblings or 49 would either.

If you have any trauma, you will feel reluctant to use this building.

‘I’ll have to listen and decide.’

Cheon Do-un thought as he left the lab.

* * *

When he returned to the yard, he looked around at his group.

“There was a vial. “Before that, there’s something I want to ask you first.”

Doun Cheon told them his thoughts on repairing the building.

Contrary to the thought that they would be annoyed, the siblings immediately nodded.

“Are you okay? When I saw it before, the room was pretty clean. I thought it would be nice to use it as a warehouse. If you modify it, will it become good enough for people to use?”

There was no sign of discomfort from the siblings. It was the same with number 49.

“If you can use it, it’s better to use it. “It’s not good to carelessly throw away items or anything else.”

Cheon Do-woon looked surprised at the words that came out without the slightest hesitation.

“I thought you wouldn’t like it. “That’s surprising.”

“Well, I don’t have any good memories, but… “I have no intention of taking out my anger by destroying a useless building.”

Yoo Ji-ah nodded at Yoo Beom’s words.

The siblings were thorough pragmatists. The time spent struggling to survive in a gate without civilization or supplies made it that way.

“I think the same.”

Number 49 also lived a life under the sea, far from civilization. That’s how much he knew the importance of materials.

Cheon Do-un thought for a moment and then said.

“Then shall we do it like this? “We use it, but the exterior is completely remodeled so that no traces of the past remain.”

“You’re going to tear it down and fix it? “In what way?”

“Carving a mural or sculpture makes the original form unrecognizable. “I think it would be a good idea to make something like a statue and put it up.”

“Are you okay? “I think it’ll be fun.”

Number 49 answered with a positive face. But her siblings’ reaction was a little different.

Knowing that Cheon Do-un’s sense had already crossed the river, they began to worry about the results of the remodeling.

‘No. Anyway, it still feels like a gloomy place. Wouldn’t it be better to fix something rather than use it like that?’

The problem was that the person doing the repairs was Cheon Do-un, but anyway.

In a way, I didn’t know that it was a good thing since I wouldn’t even be able to find traces of the old days.

“good. That lab decided to do that. Is this a problem now?”

Cheon Do-un showed Na-ri Kim the medicine bottle he had put in his pocket.

“how is it. “Does it look like liquid metal?”

“Scanning… Liquid metal is correct. I feel the same wavelength as me. “This child is just like me.”

“kid?”

“This thing is alive. It’s a chimera. However, no biological reaction is detected.”

The group stopped at the unexpected words. In particular, number 49’s expression hardened.

“no way… The one who died because I left him inside the wall… .”

Should I have taken that bottle out right away when I picked it up?

If I had known it was alive, I would have done just that.

But no matter how I looked at it, it looked like nothing more than an unusual metal.

Since it was something the alchemist had, I didn’t even think about opening it.

“It’s not because of man number 49. According to the scan, it appears that physical activity has stopped for more than 70 years. “When you picked it up, it would have already been unconscious.”

“that. okay? But then it moved… .”

“That must have been sleep talking. This isn’t dead. “I’m in a state of suspended animation.”

Cheon Do-un showed interest in Kim Na-ri’s words.

“It’s the lyrics. “Then can you wake me up?”

“I don’t know. It might be possible if we reach out to people of the same species. “I’ll try sending the frequency.”

Nari Kim said, holding out her hand. Cheon Doun poured liquid metal there.

A lumpy-feeling metal pooled on Nari Kim’s palm.

“how is it?”

Instead of answering, Nari Kim stared at the liquid metal.

He looked back and forth while making waves and his face became sullen.

“Can not be done. There is a reaction, but it is weak. “I think it’s not enough for me alone.”

“okay? “If one doesn’t work, you can try two.”

As for the liquid metal chimera, it was in the garden too.

Cheon Do-un opened a greenhouse. The Mandragoras in the greenhouse were sleeping soundly in the ground.

Although the scenery was no different from usual, Cheon Do-un felt a strange sense of discomfort.

‘Acknowledgement… ?’

Sasa was curled up in a corner of the greenhouse.

Sasa used his tail to pick off a petal that had grown on his head. I put it in my mouth and gnawed on it.

It looked somehow more bleak than usual.

“What are you doing there?”

When Cheon Doun called, the magistrate raised his head.

-beep… Beep.

The crying sound was weaker than usual. When I got up, the chick’s legs were shaking.

Cheon Do-un, who saw this, lifted the priest.

‘Why has it become so much lighter?’

My already thin body became even thinner. Even the fluffy fur became dull somehow.

The teacher triumphantly sneaked into the greenhouse. The judge was completely discouraged as to what had happened.

“mister. “The judge seems to have no power.”

“I know. Did we lose to the roots?”

Cheon Do-un’s thoughts were correct.

Although he infiltrated, Sasa’s identity was quickly revealed. Unlike before, she wasn’t pretending to be a plant, so she had no choice but to get caught.

In the end, they were put on the defensive, surrounded by five roots and attacked by postaks. The shock caused him to lie down.

Cheon Doun stroked the governor’s head with his fingers.

-Beep… .

The judge’s eyes became moist at that. How long has it been since I received such a gentle touch?

The magistrate rubbed his head against Cheon Doun’s fingers. It was a sign asking for more petting.

“I just need to leave the greenhouse. “This guy is also stubborn about who he resembles.”

Cheon Do-un handed over the affairs to Kim Nari.

“I’m comforting you.”

“Oh oh. I get it. “I support Sasa!”

Nari Kim wrapped Sasa with both hands and patted him. Meanwhile, Cheon Do-un inspected the condition of the metal roots.

‘New shoots are growing. ‘Are Joseph’s nutritional supplements effective?’

A new shoot was growing next to the leaf. Cheon Do-un stopped while digging up the soil around the roots.

‘The weight has become heavier.’

The change wasn’t just in the new shoots. The weight of the metal roots was heavy. It is bigger than before.

As I lifted out the roots, the surrounding soil shook.

The thin roots the size of a pencil were no longer there. It felt like digging up a sturdy sweet potato.

He pulled out the root and laughed. Nari Kim, who was watching from the side, widened her eyes.

“Too, it’s so cool!”

The metal roots became thicker.

“Of all the garden kids, he’s the most generous!”

It has become the most reliable entity.

-Huh… ?

Metal Mandragora woke up and rubbed his eyes with the roots of his arms.

Before I knew it, the cries had become ‘huu’ instead of ‘huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu)uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu two]ue two ] tell otherwise! I got healthier.

“Joseph is definitely great in this field.”

Even Manager Kim had to change the nutritional supplement pack for several days.

Joseph increased the size of the mandragora to a natural size with just one massage.

Cheon Do-un also handed over the metal root to Kim Nari.

“Try to keep it. “If they gather together, there may be a change in the liquid metal.”

“Oh, I understand.”

Nari Kim gathered together metal roots and semi-solid metal and hugged them.

-Huh?

The metal root looked at the thick liquid and tilted its head. I pulled it straight with the roots of my arms and kneaded it.

-Help, hehe!

As if he liked it, he kneaded the sprinkled liquid metal like a cushion and lay down on it.

Did that stimulate something? The liquid metal showed a slight tremor.

“Oh, man. “This child is waking up.”

“okay?”

Liquid metal slithered out from under the roots.

It came together to form one shape.

“This is… “It’s a mini sprinkle!”

A small mandragora measuring 5 centimeters was created.

When you look at the form in which the new shoots began to grow, they looked like replicas of metal roots.

Nari Kim thought it was cute and stroked her mini roots. Then the shape of the liquid metal collapsed.

After wriggling around, they came together again, and this time they took on the appearance of a small human.

Long curly hair, coat, boots.

This time, the color of the metal changed and the color also changed.

“This time it turned into Kim Nari.”

“Well, I guess so. “This is me.”

Nari Kim said with a surprised face. Cheon Do-un touched the liquid metal just in case.

The form collapsed and this time it changed into the appearance of Cheondoun.

This makes it clear. Cheon Do-un recognized the cells mixed with this liquid metal.

“It’s a doppelganger.”

“Oh oh?”

“That’s exactly what they call a mud monster. “It’s one of the cells that was transplanted to me.”

The ability to duplicate objects or objects that come into contact with it.

It was thanks to this doppelganger’s cloning ability that he was able to save Oh Bong-su from the snowy mountain.

A spell that converts mana holes into vitality. I copied that formula in my body when I was young and used it to my advantage.

The siblings who were watching from the side looked at the doppelganger with a strange look on their faces.

“No matter how you look at it, it’s not a combat-related ability. “What was your intention in creating these chimeras?”

“well. We’ll see. I’m more curious about where you got the liquid metal. “Is there a mine or something like that somewhere?”

There was a possibility. There are many areas in the Demon World that cannot be reached by humans, so it could have been a piece that accidentally came from those places.

If we could find the place of origin, there would be a lot of them.

Kim Nari’s eyes widened at Cheon Do-un’s guess.

Wouldn’t it be possible to grow like a human if there were more substances that make up one’s body?

‘The railgun can shoot stronger!’

It felt somewhat different from what people think of as ‘growth’, but anyway.

Nari Kim was excited alone, but stopped when she saw the doppelganger.

“mister. “This doppelganger wants to go to you.”

The doppelganger in Kim Na-ri’s palm took a pose to jump towards Cheon Do-un.

But I stopped when I saw the height from the floor. Nevertheless, I kept glancing at Cheon Do-un to see if I wanted to go.

“Is it because I have cells of my own kind?”

When Cheon Do-un stretched out his hand, the doppelganger quickly fell into his palm.

Cheon Do-un looked at it and opened his waist bag.

He took out Dodaki, who had woken up, and placed it on the table in the yard. He had a doppelganger on the other side.

“what are you doing?”

“A doppelganger is a monster in which three or four individuals act together. “Maybe he wants to come with me.”

If you wanted to carry it with you, you had to put it in your waist bag.

In other words, you need to get the stamp of approval from Dodak, the bag owner.

His words drew the group’s attention to the table.

-Huh… ?

Dodak saw the doppelganger in front of him. Its eyes grew wider and trembled.

How did this happen? The helper has become smaller. It has become much smaller. It became smaller than itself.

Dodak’s mouth widened when he saw the small 5cm-sized helper.

The doppelganger was also surprised to see the huge grass roots and took a step back.

Dodak stiffened at that. My eyes shook with shock as if there had been an earthquake.

-Whoa, whoa… ?

The smaller helper was avoiding him.
