Chương 53: Bast obsession
Good profit… … .
As it says on the door, this room is a medicine warehouse.
Inside the dark room, you can see glass display cases built in layers.
[The room is dark and a little cold.
This is probably to store medicine inside.]
Oh, what a surprise. After being quiet for a while, he suddenly starts working.
Why didn't you say anything in the hallway earlier? There is also designated text in the original hallway.
Are you just sabotaging business? Or um… … Oh, is it because I didn't go in in the correct order?
Normally, you would first enter the hallway after coming up the stairs.
But this time, because they came in through the window, didn't they get the message that they had to come out from the hallway?
I can't be sure because the game had so many bugs and errors, but I think it's somehow like that.
'Well, otherwise.'
[In each glass display case built inside the room, there are many labeled medicine bottles and bottles containing small specimens.
Each transparent bottle you see contains animal or human body parts, or strange creatures you have never seen before.]
"Hey, I can see it in my eyes too."
[The creature is indeed a strange and terrible creature. It is a grotesque monster that is neither human nor beast. The beast has four arms, and each tiny hand has six fingers. Upon witnessing that creature, your mind is gripped by an alien fear and fear.]
Oh my, I was excited again. I'm excited again.
[System: Attempts to resist fear using the mental strength stat. Mental strength test successful.]
Because it resisted fear, no separate characteristics were activated.
I raised my hand to cover the eye holes of the mask for a moment, then took it off.
"good. "Let's think about the bad feelings later."
There is one thing I want to take care of here.
Most of the things in the bottle look similarly disgusting, but this one is especially disgusting. This is the strange creature mentioned in the message window earlier. The label on the bottle has three letters written on it, along with the words 'Type D biological tissue sample'. 'Dimensional species (次元種)'.
As I placed my hand on the bottle, I felt the little creature writhing inside the bottle. Even though it is soaked in chemicals and sealed in a glass bottle.
I am not mistaken. Part of the small creature's bloated head cracks. The small, round eyes revealed from the crack look at me. Although it was an eyeball that could not feel emotions, it was a gaze that clearly conveyed an unpleasant and ominous intelligence.
But that strange sight did not last long. The creature soon seemed to lose interest and closed its eyes again. It looks comfortable, as if dead or asleep.
"Tsk, this is why I didn't like this place."
Useless horror scenes are repeated endlessly.
I took two such bottles, took some defensive measures, and carefully placed them in my backpack.
This is done now, before we go out... … .
"Shall we try some simple farming?"
Among the medicines here, there are some that can be useful.
It would be best not to put yourself in a situation where you would use something like this, but Je Mu-kyung, whom you will soon meet, is a troublesome opponent. It comes wearing a special artifact with high magic resistance, but to remove it, the chemicals here are more effective than magic.
"Let's see… … Is this it?"
Among the medicine bottles, I took a blue bottle with no label attached.
[Valusia's Blue Elixir (S-Class Catalyst): One of the elixirs used by ancient snake people. It is a lethally powerful corrosive poison, so it is dangerous to use without purification.]
Besides that, wouldn't it be a good idea to bring a few more things with you?
'Oh, this thing emits toxic gas when it touches the air.'
Of course, it would be difficult if something like this exploded while in my arms.
[Hardening]
A hardening spell was placed on the bottle. When needed, you can use it as an impromptu grenade by de-hardening and throwing it.
I put some in my backpack, put a few in my arms for immediate use, and went back out into the hallway.
'I feel like such a fool. 'Can't we just set it on fire outside?'
Of course not.
The quest is not over yet.
I need to see a few more damn sluts.
good. Now it's time to meet Je Mu-kyung, who is locked in the operating room... … .
I headed to the entrance to the operating room located in the innermost corner of the hallway.
Je Mu-gyeong is so absorbed in the 'surgery' that he rarely comes out.
The entrance to the operating room, like everything else in the hallway, is soaked in blood and gives off an ugly atmosphere.
There is even a sign saying [In operation] on the electronic display board above the operating room door.
In the first place, it was not a place where normal surgeries were performed even before it was taken over by Jemu-gyeong and the test subjects.
This is a place where surgeries were performed to remove brains, dismember people, or reassemble dismembered people.
'Even here, a dog-like mess was spread out, far from everyday life.'
If we just proceed by shooting several fireballs from outside the door, we won't have to look dirty anymore... … .
It doesn't really matter if the small things on the first floor die or explode, but that's not possible for Je Mu-gyeong.
This is because in order to enter the secret underground location that I told Curtain Call about, I need the USB that Je Mu-kyung has.
Even when I was playing the game, I thought it was annoying for no reason and made a fancy Kwaang! Like, tingling! I have had the experience of giving up on quests several times.
And one more thing.
There is something more important than progressing the quest, and perhaps even more valuable than the 120 million won provided as a reward.
I want to talk to him.
Although the probability of that happening is very low, Je Mu-gyeong may have a clue for me to return to my original world.
'Well, honestly, the chance of that happening is less than 5%, but… … .'
No, maybe less than 1%.
In any case, the probability is not zero. This is a possibility that none of the NPCs I have met so far have had. Oh, of course, except for those damn creatures of the abyss.
In any case, wouldn't it be possible to kill a guy like that without asking questions?
In order to have that slim possibility conversation, I even took a risk and made a plan to meet Je Mu-gyeong alone.
"So, let's have a conversation."
I used my magic power to push the door open to avoid touching the dirty door handle.
Good profit… … .
Inside the operating room, you can feel the disgusting smell of rotting corpses, the smell of chemicals, and the smell of blood.
Je Mu-kyung is a crazy person.
It's not something I would say about wearing a mask, but he is a madman obsessed with irrational behavior.
Squeak… … Squeaky... … .
It is an unpleasant noise heard as the leather tears.
It was originally a terrible operating room where crazy surgeries were performed, but has now been transformed into a workroom for madmen.
Blood splashed up to the ceiling.
Corpses with their skin peeled and cut into pieces.
And a saw, a hammer, a large kitchen knife, a hook, and a chain.
These are tools that would be more suitable for use in a slaughterhouse or butcher shop rather than an operating room.
In reality, something not very different from that is going on in this place.
To be more specific, this means that a huge monster is crouching next to the surgical bed and is carrying out the terrible task of ripping off the skin of a corpse.
His physique is so majestic that you can feel pressure even when he's crouching down.
The shoulders are so wide that it seems like there would still be room even if one person sat on each shoulder.
The author is a monster created by [Ga-5060 Secret Research Institute].
The worst failure, boasting the most unrivaled perfection among dozens of failures.
This is Je Mu-gyeong.
"hi?"
Je Mu-gyeong, who was sitting next to the surgery bed and concentrating on work, raises his head and looks at me.
He is wearing a hideous rag that covers his body, head, and face.
The mat, which is reminiscent of a monk from the Middle Ages, has a shape closer to a cape or raincoat rather than clothing.
"Aren't your clothes-making skills terrible?"
These are terrible clothes that he made himself by peeling human skin.
Of course, this does not mean that the leather has been tanned in a proper way.
It is leather made by forcefully tearing it from the body, and it is rags made by forcibly stretching and weaving the leather. There are places here and there where flesh is still attached, and there are places where blood is dripping.
furthermore… … His face is covered with a hideous mask made from the skin of another person's face.
"Krrrrr… … ."
Although he is wearing human skin, what comes out of his mouth is an animal-like growl.
An ordinary human being would go crazy just by witnessing this bizarre and terrible space.
[System: The exclusive attribute 'Abyss Madness' is activated. Nullifies the effect of Coercion.]
But it's not a big problem to me. It is not without weaknesses, but as long as the [Abyss Madness] trait is present, no damage can be done to my mind and soul.
By the way, this bastard Je Mu-kyung… … The situation is a bit strange.
Although he was crazy to begin with, he still had enough reason to respond when spoken to.
That's why I made a plan to face him alone, not with a curtain call. He has things to ask and things to check.
But the plan went wrong.
The current Je Mu-kyung was even crazier than what was depicted in the game.
But just in case... … Should we try talking one more time?
"Hey, if you go, buddy."
At that moment, his body shrinks even more.
I'm not scared.
It is an animal-like movement that gathers strength to rush towards its prey.
The two bloodshot eyes revealed between the leather masks shine with extreme madness.
"This… … ."
Oh, I say.
"This is mine! It's my face! "I can't give it to you!"
under… … Yes, I understand.
Who else would understand him but me? Isn't he a fellow madman friend?
To be precise, Je Mu-gyeong is obsessed with human skin. Unlike my obsession with masks... … Although the symptoms are completely different, his condition is worse than mine.
"Okay, keep that for yourself."
"no! "No way!"
But why does this guy have a seizure as soon as I meet him?
Je Mu-gyeong slowly gets up and screams. The flash in his eyes was madness… … Is it fear?
"ah! Ahhh! This monster... … monster! monster! Don't look at me with those horrible eyes! Don't look at me with four eyes! It's the devil who came from the abyss! "You can't touch me!"
"ha?"
monster? Devil? Did this guy, like Jang Hyeon-deok, turn around in an instant when he saw my mask?
"I need leather to wrap around me. I need to wrap myself in leather with their soul and spirit… … ! Pain and despair will protect me! "The Apostle of Yugos promised to take me with him!"
No, it's not because of the mask.
The content is too strange to be attributed to the mask.
"I saw it! We must leave for the faraway side, the home of life, the resting place of the soul! Beyond the horizon is our world, but it is not our world! We must leave for a haven filled with calm, quiet ignorance, where there are no veils!"
for a moment. Is this a line you've never heard before in a game? What is this kid talking about?
A world that is ours but not ours? A haven filled with tranquility and quiet ignorance?
"We must escape this distorted, broken, decayed, and broken world! I have to leave! I have to go on a trip! "Keuuuuuu!"
