68 – Damcheon (4)
‘Did I lose my temper….’
Grid checked the condition of Ji-eun on behalf of Jin-woo, whose accident had stopped.
The puddle of blood that formed around Jieun indicated that a fairly large amount of blood had escaped.
However, Judging from Ji-eun’s body temperature and the warmth of the puddle of blood, not much time has passed yet.
‘I must have been alive until the moment the call was cut off.’
I thought that someone who reacted to the ringtone probably shot and killed Ji-eun because she judged her to be an obstacle.
It took about a minute for Grid and Jin-Woo to find out that the call was disconnected and run to here.
Determination of human brain death is approximately between 5 and 10 minutes.
There are still possibilities.
ㅡ Brave, wake up. It’s not over yet.
“I… my, i….”
Jinwu was still in a situation where he couldn’t come to his senses.
That’s why.
Puck!
Grid directly controlled the suit and slapped Jinwoo in the face.
“Ugh!”
Jinwu couldn’t keep his balance and fell flat on the floor.
ㅡ Wake up! Not dead yet!
“What, what?”
ㅡ Trust me, Brave.
Jinwu, who had been lost until just now, came to his senses again.
“How can I do it?”
ㅡ Ji Eun is moved. It would be nice if the place was as clean as possible.
Hearing Grid’s words, Jinwu hurriedly picked up Jieun and started running.
The best place is a sterile room without bacterial infection, but it was difficult to expect such a thing.
ㅡ This would be nice.
Therefore, I had no choice but to perform the surgery in a place where there was no CCTV and no one else could see it.
“Uh, what are you planning to do?”
ㅡ Trust me.
Grid created 8 tentacles and headed for Jieun’s body.
I used two tentacles to tear off her clothes and cut Jieun’s chest open using the two tentacles as a scalpel.
As blood flowed along the blade, Jinwoo’s face became contemplative.
But that didn’t stop Grid from acting.
Because he knows that the blow that pierced his chest pierced his heart and that no one can save him with this condition.
‘It’s not completely destroyed, so it looks like it can be restored.’
Grid covered Ji-eun’s affected area with flesh, just like patients lying in a hospital room suffering from psychic syndrome.
A human doctor would need to have sight, but Grid didn’t really need sight.
So it was more effective to prevent the intrusion of air to prevent bacterial infection.
ㅡ Brave. Need more power take out the nuke
Jin-Woo followed Grid’s words and took out the cores he had put in the belt.
ㅡ Only we can save this woman now. Stay focused.
Jinwoo nodded her head and started using her psychic powers to stop the wave from spreading out of the nucleus according to Grid’s words.
Grid trusted Jin-woo and gathered energy from the core.
The heart was a fairly complex structure, but it didn’t matter too much to Grid now.
Because he lived as a parasite on Jinwoo’s body and learned the human body for a long time.
In addition to that, I also had the knowledge of medical books I bought with a large sum of over 1 million won.
‘Is this also inevitable….’
Grid healed Jieun’s heart and thought that this was also a destiny.
‘If I spit it out, I’ll be damned again.’
Grid sighed and focused on Jieun’s heart.
It didn’t take long for Jieun’s heart to regenerate and a light current flowed.
Then, the blood that had been forcibly circulated by the power of the grid created a normal flow along the heart.
‘It’s fortunate that we have the same blood type. Is this also inevitable….’
With this, the operation is over.
Ji-eun’s heart started beating safely, and her pale face slowly began to turn red.
ㅡ It’s over, Brave.
Jin-wu, who was praying on his knees as if petitioning God, slowly raised his head.
Jinwoo heard the sound of Jieun’s breathing, and she lowered her head and shed tears.
She slowly held Ji-eun’s hand and shed tears, saying thank you for living.
In Grid’s eyes, he couldn’t be seen as a hero.
‘A hero like a kind neighbor….’
Isn’t this weak figure no different from a normal human being?
If you think about it, Jinwoo had a very different direction from other heroes.
Although she said that she came to admire the hero after seeing First, her behavior was very different from First.
It was Grid, who had already encountered many cases of becoming a hero by admiring First through the Internet.
Those kinds of people had something in common.
It was the desire for honor to be recognized by others.
But what about Jinwoo’s actions so far?
The main hero activities he did were very trivial things like carrying heavy luggage, helping people crossing the crosswalk, and finding lost things.
First must have planted the dream of being a hero in Jinwoo.
However, it was clear that Jinwoo’s dream of being a hero had changed into something.
‘I see. Is it volunteer work? .’
Humans do not accept good intentions easily.
I doubt that there is an intention behind the good intentions.
That’s why Jinwoo wanted to become a hero who could do good to others for free.
As an extension of volunteer work.
I finally found out why Jinwoo didn’t bother about performance and brought up the story of being a kind neighbor to everyone.
‘Hmm….’
Greed thought that, like the human who recently quit being a hero, Jin-Woo might bring up the idea of quitting being a hero.
***
Grid said the operation was successful.
But I headed to the hospital with the author in preparation for any unexpected situation.
People’s eyes were drawn to us as we appeared at the hospital covered in blood.
At the hospital, he said he would take me to the emergency room right away, and he showed a busy movement, and I blankly watched him.
And not long after, a slightly embarrassed nurse approached me.
“That… Lee Ji-eun, the patient’s guardian?”
“Yes.”
The nurse brought out the words that Ji-eun had no wounds on her body and only had a slight anemia.
In her expression, there was a question about how Jieun and I got covered in blood.
From noble mtl dot com
But she didn’t have the spirit to answer that question.
The author is really safe.
Because the moment I realized that fact, my legs gave out.
I slipped into my seat and put my head down on her.
The nurse stared blankly at me, then tilted her head and left.
Grid tried to say something, but his head was dizzy and he couldn’t organize his thoughts.
I sat in her hallway until the author was taken to her hospital room.
She was moved to the hospital room, and she had a calm face as if she was taking a nap.
Her face was bloody, not the pale face she had when I first saw her.
It was an atmosphere as if he would open his eyes and play a prank on me.
However, the author did not open his eyes even after an hour, two hours, and even a day.
The author’s parents came to her hospital room and she asked about the author’s condition.
Her mother showed her tears and called her author’s name, and her father washed her face dry with her pale face.
I couldn’t help but watch the scene.
The doctor said there was nothing wrong with the author’s body.
The author’s parents brought up her story, saying that she might not know what was going on, and asked for a thorough examination of her.
I just kept it in my eyes.
She may have suffered brain damage when her heart stopped.
Maybe that’s why she can’t open her eyes.
And the reason it happened is because I became a hero.
If she hadn’t mentioned that I would become a hero, I wouldn’t have attended the institute for her early graduation.
Just the thought ran through her head.
The staggering dragged himself out of the hospital room.
After leaving the hospital room, I passed the counter where the nurses were sitting, and the patients were sitting on the couch watching TV.
I blankly watched the news on the TV.
On TV, there was a story about the raid on the underground shelter laboratory yesterday.
It is unknown how the monster invaded the laboratory.
Only objective figures on how many victims occurred were announced.
A total of 13 missing persons, including researchers and bodyguards, occurred.
On TV, only the story of the underground laboratory was covered with the news of breaking news.
“Hey, isn’t this really dangerous?”
“The country will be ruined?”
“Look, the stock market crashed?”
“Where where? Wow, f*ck… Are you really screwed?”
Patients watching TV shared such stories.
The peaceful society was slowly crumbling.
In another piece of news, the president came out and apologized to the public.
However, the criticism did not die down, and it was said that public opinion on the impeachment of the president was being created.
The logic was that even the being responsible for the safety of the people could not properly protect it, so take responsibility.
***
Another day has passed.
Today, the author couldn’t even open his eyes.
It felt like my heart was burning.
I couldn’t protect the author’s hospital room and came out.
When I stumbled back to the lobby, the TV was talking about how the monster invaded the laboratory.
A suit-type monster that has been controversial recently.
It was a story about that monster or some other kind of monster invasion.
Since it was an emergency, CCTV footage of the monster rampaging in the laboratory was released.
There was a story about the route the monster invaded.
The monster invaded the laboratory by attaching itself to the body of a researcher.
A video showing that the monster invaded Korea’s most secure laboratory without even sounding an alarm was released.
Public opinion got worse.
A monster that cannot be detected by the monster detector is appearing.
The perception that even if Korea perishes, the underground shelter will be safe has also been broken.
Society is slowly sinking into chaos.
However, the hospital room where the author was asleep was so quiet as if time had stopped.
“Jinwoo student. It’s okay, so go get some rest.”
“No, that’s fine.”
Because I’m a being who doesn’t feel this much pain anymore.
I stared blankly at the author who hadn’t opened his eyes yet.
There was nothing wrong with the results of the detailed inspection, as Grid boasted.
The doctor said that if she calmed down, she would wake up soon….
That was the moment she stared at the author while thinking that.
“Ugh….”
“”Ji-eun?!””
My mother and I hurriedly ran towards the bed where the author slept.
The author, who had been keeping her eyes closed, opened her eyes with trembling eyelids.
“Ah… Thank you thank you!”
Mother held her author’s hand and closed her eyes as she said thank you over and over again and she shed tears.
I stared blankly at it, then took a few steps back.
It’s also my fault that the author went through such a dangerous thing.
“Good… ship….”
But Ji-eun saw me like that and she smiled hard.
“Ah….”
That look of relief at seeing me made me feel even more driven.
Because she was hurt because of me, and I could feel that she cared about me in case I thought that way.
“Sorry, sorry….”
“What are you sorry about… yo. This?”
“Sorry….”
I had no choice but to ask for forgiveness from the author.
I felt like everything was my fault.
