RUST -105

Even though Maru and Gisun were talking openly, there was no particular reaction from the others. They gave each other looks like, “I guess they’re going now.” or “They said they were going, and they really are going.” The medical staff and researchers were only interested in the cockroaches and egg sacs in the black bag.

‘A cockroach wouldn’t have grown this big all of a sudden.’

‘Is this a test subject?’

‘What does Takaichi Pharmaceuticals have to experiment with cockroaches?’

‘There are many subjects to experiment on. Haven’t you seen the recent paper on cockroaches?’

‘I saw it. The research on poison resistance is really unique. The expression of poison resistance genes…’

‘Isn’t it a more interesting topic to shed and regenerate even the severed legs and wounds?’

A few people gathered together and discussed among themselves. The bodyguards and Charlotte uncles also gathered together and talked about something. Ki-soon looked at them and said.

“What about the bodyguards and Charlotte?”

“I told him to do as he pleased. Let’s go to the sickroom. You should come down with me.”

The helicopter pilot was taken down by Maru. Kim Yang, who was watching this, took out a large bag and started to scoop up food.

A bodyguard approached Ms. Kim, who was diligently preparing something to eat.

“Optical stealth equipment. What happened?”

“That guy is right.”

When the bodyguard spoke frankly and bluntly, Ms. Kim also said exactly the same thing and went about getting something to eat as usual. The bodyguard’s eyelids fluttered slightly as he saw that.

“Since it’s my brother’s business, I would like you to explain it in more detail.”

Kim Yang blinked, not knowing how to say this. It was a bit odd to say that she had received a bribe, but it was also odd to say that she had just accepted it.

“There was some kind of monster at Takaichi Pharmaceuticals.”

“Other than cockroaches?”

The bodyguard took on a serious expression. Ms. Kim also answered with a serious expression.

“Yes. It was a black monster that just started to regenerate and had tentacles coming out of it… That monster was a monster, but it was Executive Director Choi who came from World.”

“The world’s best executive director···.”

“The boss was injured, so his younger brother had to stay close by and protect him, so he couldn’t just leave the equipment there. So I received it and used it when I fought the black monster and World’s Choi. The boss and his younger brother evacuated first.”

“Then… why didn’t that person say this earlier?”

Kim Yang answered with an expression as if she was asking because she didn’t know.

“Did that person seem like the kind of person who would explain and talk in detail?”

“······.”

If only he could have let her rest quietly and comfortably, he wouldn’t have been the type of person to explain things in a soft voice. The bodyguard nodded as if he understood Kim Yang’s expression.

“You’re not sure what the circumstances were that led to that?”

“Yes. First of all, I and that person were so busy fighting with Director Choi and the monster that we were out of our minds. The president and his younger brother evacuated first. After that, I blew myself up. Huh? I don’t know what happened after that because I moved separately to activate the emergency incinerator.”

“Where did you fight?”

“Uh… So, we fought in the Yamatsuki New Testament.”

“You said the monster was in Takaichi Pharmaceuticals?”

“It seems like I stopped by Takaichi Pharmaceuticals on the World side and then got on that helicopter.”

“So you controlled that monster in the world?”

“I’m not sure about that. Considering that he stopped by Takaichi Pharmaceutical and then came straight to Yamatsuki Shinyaku, I think it’s clear that Executive Director Choi knew the president’s movements.”

“The route has been revealed?”

“Yes. It’s strange that they overlap like that.”

Miss Kim answered broadly.

“And in my opinion, the president and his younger brother who evacuated to Yamatsuki New Drug first were killed by the traitors there. I’m not sure because that person didn’t tell me the details. I think that’s why they didn’t bring the survivors from Yamatsuki New Drug.”

The bodyguard clenched his trembling fingers. His clenched fist trembled.

“Let me ask you again. Are you sure you are the best executive director in the world?”

“That’s the new knife that guy brought. That’s the knife that Executive Director Choi used. Did you see that when he said that earlier? You know that Executive Director Choi is good with knives. He uses good knives.”

“Are you sure there was a traitor?”

“Yes. Again, that’s my opinion. If the boss’s movements hadn’t been revealed, how could he have come straight from the world? Even though Maru is a bit like that, he’s not the type of person to kill a normal person for no reason and abandon someone he can save. You know that, right?”

You were saved by Baekjeong too, right? And the boss too. Kim Yang said with an innocent face.

“Okay, thank you for telling me.”

Miss Kim let out a long breath as she watched the bodyguard who had greeted her politely walk towards where the Charlotte uncles were gathered.

If we expect Baekjeong to do it on his own, there will be chaos… What good will it do if we explain it to him so that he can understand?

I thought it was okay to get through this, and since it was true, I thought there was no need to make excuses or anything. Anyway, I wondered why they were going to supply right away, so Ms. Kim took out a new bag and packed food supplies. Since there was one more person in the army, we needed twice as many. Oh- You said you wanted to take one more person from the medical team? Maybe we need three times as many?

As soon as they arrived at the hospital room, Maru took out a pink ampoule. The helicopter pilot who came down with Ki-soon was also focused on the pink ampoule.

“Hey, take off the bandage. Let me look at the wound.”

“I think it’ll get better in a few days. Isn’t it a waste?”

Ki-sun hesitated, feeling it was a waste to use the rapid cure like this.

“Once we leave Japan, I will spare no expense even if you tell me not to, so for now, just cover up your wounds. Hurry up.”

“Oh my, this is really a waste. Honestly, isn’t this like a spare life? A few drops could be enough to withstand a fatal wound.”

match-

Maru smashed Ki-sun’s back, who was trembling. A- Ki-sun screamed, “You crazy bastard, do you have anything to kill?” and slowly removed the bandage.

“Ah, shit. It hasn’t been that long since I disinfected and bandaged it.”

Ki-soon laughed as he saw Maru tremble and drop a drop on the wound.

“You acted so cool, but look at your hands shaking.”

“shut up.”

As soon as a drop fell, the stitched wound healed with bubbles.

“Since we’re pulling out the thread, let’s pull it out right away without calling anyone.”

“Are you just going to block it now?”

Ki-soon said as she pulled out the thread with scissors and tweezers.

“Does the president’s death have anything to do with you?”

“No. The people at Yamazuki Shinyaku betrayed the president. When I went, it seemed hopeless.”

The helicopter pilot, who had been standing blankly next to Ki-sun, turned slightly as if uncomfortable at Ki-sun’s sudden question. Ki-sun muttered more calmly, alternating between Maru and the helicopter pilot.

“···Then what good would it do if you spoke more politely when the bodyguard asked you? Didn’t I say that last time? Speak more politely. I’m not even trying to fight you, but that’s not right. You don’t know what happened to your younger sibling. The boss died and your younger sibling died, so how do you think that person feels?”

“······.”

“Think about it from the other side. What the hell, is there such a thing as a grudge?

“know.”

“You know, that kid? …Huh? What is it? Could it be that the president died because of the bodyguard’s younger brother?”

“··· no.”

The quick-witted Ki-soon noticed right away. ‘What do you mean, it’s not like that.’ They were somehow involved. Was that why you felt uncomfortable looking at the bodyguard’s face? Because they’re twins?

That’s also the case, but the helicopter pilot seemed uncomfortable when I talked to the president and the bodyguard about why he was acting like that.

Maru seems to know too, but why is he doing this? Ki-soon observed Maru’s expression.

“But aside from the wheels and the rat, what is it? Judging by your rotten expression, I think there was something else.”

“···There was a monster.”

“Monster? What makes you call me a monster?”

“I don’t know how to explain it. You know that movie? It’s about a monster that parasitizes people. It’s similar to the monster in that movie. But it’s a bit more fucked up.”

The altar-like thing and the bizarre laboratory were the same. The black monster sealed in the metal box was hard to describe. A monster that communicated through brain waves? How should one describe a monster that even interfered with the human mind?

“Is it something like a parasite?”

“Rather than that, it was something that just split, regenerated, evolved? Mutated? That kind of thing.”

“I heard that you don’t seem to be compatible with swordsmen. How did you catch them?”

“You know that swordsman from World? The swordsman we fought at Busan Marina last time.”

“Ah- That old man. I’m talking about the old man who threw down his knife and ran away because he couldn’t stand being harassed by you. You know that old man, that old man was Executive Director Choi?”

“Yeah. That old man had his employees wear suicide vests. The monster quickly picked them up and ate them. Miss Kim stole the detonator and blew it up. Then she set it on fire.”

Ah-ha- Ki-soon’s expression became rotten.

“Hey. Wait a minute. Regeneration? What the-then regeneration potion. Rapid cure. What does that have to do with that monster?”

“···maybe?”

At Maru’s answer, ‘I’m screwed. I didn’t even know what the ingredients were. This is why FDA approval is so important.’ Ki-soon let out a huge sigh.

“Can I just go now?”

As soon as the helicopter pilot opened his mouth, Maru smiled and answered.

“Where are you going?”

“I’m a little tired.”

Maru chewed on the helicopter pilot’s words.

“Just stay here, mister. Hey- Ki-soon, do you know what’s so fucking funny?”

“Why? What’s so funny?”

“So you went to Tokyo by helicopter? But you changed your destination on the way there. Originally, you were going to go to Yamatsuki Pharmaceutical to get a neutralizer, but the president got injured, so you changed your direction to Takaichi Pharmaceutical, which has a rapid treatment.”

“······.”

“······.”

“I changed the place I was going to spontaneously. Impromptu. I ran away from Takaichi Pharmaceuticals because of the cockroaches and monsters, and the world’s best executive director came to Takaichi Pharmaceuticals. If there weren’t any cockroaches and monsters, and I stayed there a little longer, I would have run into him right away.”

“······.”

“······.”

“No matter how much I think about it, it’s funny. How did the World’s CEO come to that place so specifically? Huh? He said he was going here, but he changed the location to there.”

“Wh… What are you talking about!”

The helicopter pilot’s face turned bright red. It was Maru who had been blocking the hospital room door for some time.

“Isn’t it possible that there is no chance?”

“Yeah. That could be true. Ms. Kim and I left in the middle to make up our identity, and the president and the bodyguard went to Yamazaki Shinyak in a helicopter ahead of us. When Ms. Kim and I went to report, Executive Director Choi was at Yamazaki Shinyak. So you’re saying that Executive Director Choi knew exactly where the president went? Doesn’t that seem a bit strange? Huh? What’s even more interesting is that the helicopter pilot who was supposed to be guarding the helicopter was found in the server room.”

“······.”

“······.”

“The reason this is funny is because there was no communication from the outside to the underground laboratory. So after the president and the security guard went inside, there was no way for this old man to contact the president to tell him that Executive Director Choi was coming. Then how did this old man get in?”

“You must have opened it from the inside?”

“Yes. So you opened it from the inside.”

“But what is that?”

“I told you. The people in Yamazuki’s new drug betrayed me…”

Ki-sun and Maru’s gaze turned to the helicopter pilot.

“I- I’m not!”

“What do you mean, it’s not true?”

“I was losing consciousness. You saw it. I was losing consciousness!”

“Why? Were you that scared? You couldn’t handle it when you were sober?”

Kicking, Maru laughed.

Ki-sun said as if she was dumbfounded.

“Yeah. You must have been really scared. How did you get down there unconscious?”

“······.”

Maru stabbed the helicopter pilot with his sword, who had a blank expression on his face.
