144 – An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth
“At this rate, it could be over in two weeks.”
“Sure.”
Four days have passed since I arrived in China.
On the day I arrived, I was given time to rest and relieve my travel poison, so it was actually three days since I started the treatment here.
The schedule, which was originally supposed to take a month, was cut by more than half.
One of the reasons is that I finally got out of the grid cradle.
As Grid treated patients with my right hand and I treated patients with my left hand, the efficiency of my work doubled.
Another reason was the ruthless administrative power of the Chinese government.
The cost of transporting patients from China to Korea is beyond imagination.
So I felt the will to treat as many patients as possible before I changed my mind.
I didn’t even have to move to another place this time.
If I thought I had treated all the patients, it was because patients poured in from large trucks, buses, planes and ships.
“I kind of like it.”
“Is that so?”
Grid lay down on the bed and started smirking while fiddling with the tablet PC.
Is there anything interesting?
“Why?”
“If you treat a patient like that and see that he is fine, there is a public opinion that there is no problem.”
“Really?”
I am sure that all patients in Korea and Japan are being treated, and even Chinese patients are being treated by me.
Still, it seems that the story is coming out that there is a bit of an exaggeration in First’s words.
I thought it would be nice if only that kind of atmosphere could be created.
“Whoa….”
I sat on a nearby sofa and stared blankly into space.
I still can’t see it, but that monster particle must be floating in the air, right?
I feel like I can feel something, but I can’t.
Originally, I, who couldn’t feel anything, came to feel something like Grid, so I wonder if I’ll get enlightenment someday….
If you look at the martial arts field that my father enjoyed watching, if you cross-legged and breathe in Danjeon like this….
“Brave.”
“Why?”
“Further sputtered out nonsense again.”
“What did they say this time?”
“We are very concerned that even non-sensitive people can be dangerous if touched for too long.”
“Call me a dick or a prankster.”
“hehehehe!”
I’m already sick, so what can I do?
First, just kick that bastard’s head!
When I grabbed the air with that feeling, something… I hate to feel it.
I hope so.
My stomach is bubbling over.
First, cut that son of a b*tch’s head… !
Took.
As she was praying for First to scavenge with a blood vessel erected around her neck, something heavy and soft was placed on her head.
“What is it?”
“Males tend to calm down easily with female breasts.”
After saying that, Grid started to joke around by raising and lowering his heels.
Took.
Tuk-tuk.
Tuk tuk tuk.
Every time something smaller than the author but bigger than Yuna pounded on my head, my thoughts about First faded away.
“How did you know?”
It must have been at an angle where I couldn’t see my expression….
“These days, if I bring up the first story, you’ll grind your teeth.”
Is that so?
I think it was.
Something is going on like this….

“The effect is perfect. hehehe!”
I liked the grid because it was simple, and after messing around with my hair, I took out a coke from the refrigerator and started drinking it.
It was a sight that reminded me of the past.
“Huh?”
“I just thought of the old days.”
Who was it… Oh, Da-eun.
Yes, this is Da-eun.
Da-eun’s mother was a bit of a grid person.
It was very exciting.
When she said that she would one day accept my daughter as a bride, she patted me on the shoulder while saying the same thing.
Every school event like sports day, I used to make fun of Da-eun with a lively laugh.
“What did you tease?”
“You said your future husband was passing by.”
The image of Da-eun dyeing her face red and tucking her mother’s body is still vivid in my eyes.
“From then on, it was an Ada bomber….”
“….”
“Are you admitting this?”
No matter how ignorant I was, I wasn’t so stupid that I didn’t even know that Da-eun had feelings for me to some extent.
The author did push and pull with a mysterious feeling, but Da-eun didn’t.
When you see me, you react like you’re embarrassed. How can you not know?
“Then why are you so stupid?”
“Because I was a kid especially back then….”
That’s what elementary school is like.
It’s embarrassing to hang out with a girl and have the boys gossip behind your back.
When she got a little older and didn’t care about her, Da-eun transferred schools.
His father was a soldier, so he must have been transferred frequently.
“Maybe that’s why you showed interest in the author.”
“Why is the author here?”
“Da-eun and the author. Aren’t they similar?”
“… Should I say it’s similar?”
“The human unconscious is more complex than you think.”
While saying that, Grid began to stroke his hair.
Thinking about it, I said that the shape of the grid was made by tying together my favorite figures.
When I saw the author’s hair color, I thought of her silver hair, and if it was silver hair, I thought she had red eyes like a vampire.
“Looking at her strong chest and pelvis, she’s skinny.”
Don’t read my mind, you bastard!
But it’s unconscious….
If you think about it, breathing like this is subconsciously….
“Wait a minute.”
“Why is that?”
“I think I remembered something.”
I pressed my temples and tried to organize something that just came to my mind.
Breath, breath.
I remembered something about breathing.
What was it?
Breath.
Inhalation and exhalation.
Air, Oxygen, Carbon Dioxide….
“… You can’t see it when a person exhales, but the concentration of carbon dioxide increases, right?”
“So?”
“If the monster uses the nuclear power like that, wouldn’t the concentration of monster particles in the air increase, though you can’t see it?”
“Possibility… there is!”
“What else is that?”
“I didn’t have to know.”
Grid started to shrug his shoulders, feeling that he was looking forward to something even though he grumbled that he couldn’t understand the language.
“Ready!”
Grid picked up the case containing the monster’s core, which he had hidden well on one side of the bed.
“It’s too big here, so let’s go to the bathroom.”
We must suppress the waves emitted from the monster’s core.
If you use the Brave Belt, you don’t have to suppress the wavelength, but it has a filtering function, so it’s better to just do it naked.
“I believed in you, Brave!”
You only give me a pick every time and only make fun of me at times like this….
I took the case along with the grid and headed to the bathroom.
“It goes splendidly!”
While saying that, Grid picked up as many as four cores.
“Can’t I just use one?”
“Yes, considering the duration of that psychic power, it is better to go shorter and thicker! Deploy!”
It felt like the grid wouldn’t back down.
I hurriedly deployed my psychic powers.
“Ummm….”
Something feels stuffy.
Your whole body is overflowing with energy, but at the same time you feel short of breath.
… It’s probably because he’s using superpowers.
Because Grid is still making a subtle expression.
Maybe it’s because I’m developing this psychic power.
“I don’t know yet, but I feel like I can feel something.”
“Is that so?”
If you felt anything at all, you would have taken a step forward.
… Tsk.
“I’m so frustrated I’m going crazy!”
Yeah, it’s going crazy.
I feel like I want to run to Korea right now and pull First’s head off.
First….
“Hey Grid.”
“Why is that?”
“That bastard… Aren’t you strangely negative towards this activity of ours?”
There are monster particles that are invisible to the naked eye.
Brave’s activity is a dangerous act of being exposed to such monstrous particles.
With First’s remarks, the frame was put on that Brave was a monster or a dangerous element that could become a monster.
Reporters got excited and started writing articles with provocative titles, and my image is already in a state of being chewed up by giblets.
So there’s no point in giving more chase blows here.
As for the people who support me, no matter how much the chase hits, only those who support me remain.
Hero Ranking? I wasn’t even aware of that from the start.
Activity subsidies? To borrow the expression of the grid, it has become a pillar book.
In this state, why did you bother to feed the chasing blow?
“As if we weren’t too happy to do this activity?”
“Yes.”
There is no need to feed us chasing blows, but we do give them chasing blows.
He’s stepping on an earthworm that has already dried up to the point where he doesn’t even have the strength to wriggle.
Thorough?
No.
Humbert is not that kind of guy.
Wouldn’t it be better to judge that there must be an intention?
“What the hell is his ability?”
Is it the power to create abilities at the right time like Elena?
The output was too extraordinary to say that.
Elena was able to use her autosuggestion to do electric shocks, flames, and telekinesis, but she didn’t use them mainstreamly.
This is because the output has dropped considerably compared to those who are specialized in that ability.
In fact, Elena’s universal method was to weaken the opponent’s ability and strengthen her own physical ability.
Elena can also see monster particles, and she can use them to a certain extent, but the difference between her and First is significant.
Why?
“To begin with, Humbert is suspicious of being human.”
“That’s right.”
Because it’s ridiculously strong.
“So maybe you’re up to something nonsense.”
“This is nonsense….”
The reason why patients suffering from psychic syndrome should not wake up.
Nonsense.
Using a patient with psychic syndrome?
“Can a patient with psychic syndrome become a monster?”
“So far, there has been no such data.”
“Ummm….”
If there was such data, there would be an uproar by now.
Is there any other reason?
Because if I wake up a patient with psychic syndrome, I will be honored as a hero?
On the contrary, I felt like he welcomed it….
As I was thinking about it, I got a KakaoTalk message from the author.
It was a KakaoTalk that said that the device to use Yuna’s supernatural power was almost completed.
She sent a KakaoTalk message telling her to come back soon, as if Yuna was nearby.
A device that utilizes Yuna’s psychic powers….
“Minority Report.”
“… For a moment.”
Grid held out his hand to me as if he had remembered something.
Then she opened her mouth with a serious expression.
“Maybe something like that.”
“Minority Report?”
“I don’t think the guy who was promoted as First and acted as a hero was a monster. But he has ridiculous powers that are hard to even think of as a human being.”
“… Aren’t you alone?”
“Monster particles, psychic syndrome… I don’t even know if it’s all connected.”
Grid’s words mean that Humbert is using patients with psychic syndrome like an internet network.
Obviously that would explain the ridiculous output….
“According to what you said, isn’t this self-inflicted?”
“I guess you could say it’s a double-edged sword.”
If you think about it, he was that kind of guy.
The monster hunting commotion that took place in Seoul was the kind of incident that would have led to catastrophe without Humbert’s hint.
Are you even enjoying the situation where a knife is inserted into your throat?
Crazy….
