RUST-89

Hey? Why are people slowly avoiding me? If I do this, I’ll get kicked out.

Have you relaxed? You relaxed? Why are you like this when people talk nicely to you?

“I heard important information about the incident on the first floor. But it’s a bit of that information, you know? It’s a bit of that information. Since we’re talking about the director, please come over here for a moment.”

“Wh. What are you talking about? I don’t care.”

“Who are you to tell me to come and go!”

“Then, can I speak loudly here, Vice-President? I heard that it was connected to the laboratory on the second floor. And so is the head of the infectious disease department. Everyone, please come closer.”

“No, I said it doesn’t concern us.”

“What are you?”

“Okay. Let me just say it. Everyone, listen up. This is what Hiroshi Noribe, head of the Yamazuki Pharmaceutical Security Division, testified!”

Maru raised his voice loudly. The eyes of those who had been glancing at him from a distance suddenly turned to him.

“Wait a minute. Okay. Okay. What’s going on? But. Huh?”

The director suddenly came out as if he was trying to save face.

“The director said. Yamatsuki New Drug and···.”

The director raised his voice as if to cut him off.

“Do you have any evidence? Do you have any evidence?”

“Of course. Would you have come without any evidence?”

When Maru tried to take out his cell phone, the faces of several people, including the director and vice director, distorted.

“Okay, shall we go over there and talk a little bit apart?”

Ahem-

Kkw-

Those who let out strange exclamations followed Maru to the end of the rooftop. Maru smiled as he looked at the people who had followed him in a single file.

“Okay. Now let’s see the truth behind it.”

“Are you kidding me with money? What is the true ending?”

“What do you have to say… Okay, good. Let’s take a look at the evidence.”

“Right. The phone screen is small, so let’s all gather here and look. I think everyone here has probably been mentioned at least once.”

The people who had been standing in a long line gathered together, their heads together.

“Okay, then let’s go.”

Maru, who was moving sideways while making sounds with his mouth like “Follow me- tiring- dung-dung,” suddenly tackled the people who were gathered in a circle. He wrapped his arms around three of their legs and shoved them, causing six of them to fall over, tangled together.

100 million-

Kkaaaak

Wow

Aaaah …

People sliding down the slope like a ski jump. A long scream stretched from the 15th floor to the 2nd floor, and then a splashing sound was heard. It was the sound of falling into a pond. Moans and swearing could be heard faintly from below.

The people who had been glancing at him looked at him with astonishment. Maru shrugged and said.

“Ah- You heard me. He’s not dead.”

“Mi- crazy!”

“goofy.”

“You pushed someone from the 15th floor?”

“No. I told you he’s not dead. Listen carefully. He’s alive and screaming over there.”

“People···.”

“Why?”

“No. Let’s talk. I told you I’m not dead. If you still don’t understand after hearing this, then tell me!”

Maru turned on his phone and played a video at full volume. A few people flinched when they recognized the people in the video. Maru took a good look at them.

[···Director Miura and···the manager requested that infected individuals be secured in order to resume the experiment.]

[···Successful capture of infected individuals with security personnel··· Fresh liver and brain were needed to secure arachidonic acid and phosphatidylserine···]

[The hospital staff in charge of the first floor are in non-professional positions such as reception, reception, cleaning, and management of the first floor mart, so their importance was low···]

[So when the people in charge of the first floor went to the first floor, did they release the infected?]

[okay]

[They blocked the middle to prevent the people on the first floor from escaping quickly?]

[Yes.]

[The director, vice director, experiment managers, and department heads can’t give up on the live experiments? Why?]

[There is nothing we can do because we have lost contact with both the government and the headquarters. We have to get results here.]

Several people shouted before the video and sound playing on the phone had even finished.

“Lies! It’s a fabrication!”

“Doctors who protect the lives of the people would never do that!”

“That’s right. To try to divide people in this time of great calamity!”

“Those who just shouted, come forward.”

“······.”

“······.”

People were swaying here and there like a flock of sheep, as if their gazes were those of a wild beast.

“Let’s just listen carefully. You guys are so stupid. Then who are the guys who captured the infected and who are the guys who released them? How are you going to explain the fact that the released infected are eating the brains and livers of ordinary people and causing trouble? There were people who cleaned up the bodies, right? The brains were lost in the heads of the bodies, and the livers were lost among the abdominal organs, right?”

“······.”

“······.”

“Who’s going to explain that? And who sent people down to clean up the first floor? Who sent the reception staff down when there were no patients, the control room, the machine room staff, the cleaning service, all of those people down? Given the situation, who sent those people down? Is it possible if the hospital director and other high-ranking officials weren’t involved?”

“······.”

“······.”

“If you’re going crazy and you feel like it’s going to be disadvantageous, you’ll shut your mouth like a clam, but it’s not going to work if you keep your mouth shut. You worked hard to secure a safe zone, but now the people below you are killing you to conduct vivisections. Why do you believe that and let them run wild?”

“I don’t know who gave the testimony on the cell phone, but what are you talking about when you threw people off the 15th floor just based on their testimony!”

“Hey. That was good. Don’t talk behind my back. Come out and talk.”

It became quiet again.

“No. Seriously. This is going to be crazy. Don’t hide and do this. Come out and do it.”

“······.”

“······.”

I was pissed. Ssuk- When I pulled out my sword, people started to run around. Almost 100 people were swarmed here and there as the floor moved.

“What the hell are you doing! You over there, why are you pulling out a weapon? This is a hospital and most of the people here are medical staff.”

The hot-blooded middle-aged doctor stepped forward again. It seemed that it was a universal practice to hide and use the flesh of vulnerable people as a shield.

“To my eyes, they look like civilians who are conducting biological experiments or something.”

“Watch your words! Your friend, there are people who tried to save the people you brought!”

“Well, that’s true. But if you look at the incident that happened on the first floor, isn’t it true that there are people who say they want to conduct biological experiments on people?”

“Even so, it is better to prevent one innocent person from being killed than to catch ten criminals!”

“I don’t think so. In a dangerous situation like this, if even one criminal is released, let alone ten, it’s just a matter of time before things go wrong.”

“Here, these people are not your tools or means! The hospital is a place to treat patients and a place to be protected!”

“Who said what? But they do live experiments at hospitals and feed the infected to ordinary people. Is that what hospitals do? And now you’re defending those guys. But why do I trust them with elevator keys and freedom of movement?”

“···So what do you want to do?”

“My thoughts are simple. I want to send all the people who did the vivisection and research out, and have the people who remain run the hospital like a hospital, as you said. That’s it.”

“···Are you saying you’re going to throw it out like you just did?”

“I won’t die. I don’t just kill people. I threw it in the pond because it was just big enough to fit in there. If I had intended to kill it, I would have just thrown it here. And if I had really intended to kill it, I would have used this instead of throwing it.”

Maru tapped the side with the knife he was holding. There was a ting-ing sound. It was definitely easier and faster to throw the knife than to try to do something. The middle-aged doctor was speechless at Maru’s calm and confident answer.

“······.”

“How long will I be here? I’ll be leaving soon. If I go and say I’ll do a vivisection and then the infected person suddenly changes and eats their brain and liver, who’s going to stop them? They’ll all be dead. It’s because I didn’t say anything, but if the infected person in the control room had come out, it would’ve been a mess in an instant. The incident on the first floor was the same. The infected person who ate many people, if I wasn’t there, who’d stop that? What would you have done to stop it?”

“···Even so, this is not it. I am against throwing people out for something that did not happen. Above all, they are also specialists and experts in their field. In a situation like this, knowledge is the future. Indiscriminately sacrificing ordinary people for biological experiments is a sin, but what if you can create a cure or vaccine with their knowledge? Even if they are sinners, you cannot do whatever you want.”

Maru sighed as he put the knife away.

“Ha- Okay. Instead, do whatever you want, but do it later. My group and I will leave in a week at the earliest and ten days at the latest, so you can support or oppose after that, but for now, please follow my orders. Then, I will stop here. What do you want to do? Should I stop here? Or should I finish what I was doing?”

The passionate doctor looked back. Everyone was looking at the middle-aged doctor. The middle-aged doctor turned his head, took a deep breath, and said.

“Let’s stop here.”

“Then we’re done talking. A week to ten days, on the 15th floor, under control.”

“What are you going to do with the emergency patients being transported by helicopter right now?”

“We’ll have to take a look first. As we discussed earlier, take care of it with the medical equipment on the 15th floor. If it becomes too difficult, we’ll make it so that only the surgical team can go down.”

The middle-aged doctor tried to say something but then closed his mouth. Maru had no intention of compromising.

“Director, Vice Director, are the people okay?”

“It’s okay, but you must have been seriously injured, whether it be in your arms or legs.”

“Yeah, it’s the 15th floor. The 15th floor. Even if you slipped down the ramp, it’s a dangerous height.”

“He survived because he fell into the pond? That bastard is crazy.”

“What can I do? There’s no way to stop that guy.”

“Can’t we subdue them with the three-sectioned baton, taser gun, or spray that security guards use? If several people rush at them at once…”

“Are you stupid? Haven’t you seen him use a knife?”

“But there’s only one.”

“Let’s say he was subdued after being stabbed by several people. What about his colleagues? They were armed with guns.”

“But it’s been like this for over a week.”

“Stop whining and start with this. Hey. There’s someone here who wants to get everyone together and do this. Does anyone agree?”

It was quiet.

“A week, ten days at most. No one wants to die in vain after getting involved with a crazy person. If you want to do it, just convince the people yourself.”

Doo doo doo doo-

The sound of a helicopter began to be heard. The doctor’s helicopter was approaching with its lights on, heading towards the helipad.

“What’s going on here? Everyone except the emergency medicine people, please come down.”

The House of Councilors is said to be similar to the Senate, but is that really that famous? Maru sent people down to the 15th floor. They had to take control of the helicopter, but it was a bit difficult when there were a lot of people.

“Helicopter approaching. You said there’s someone among you who can pilot a helicopter?”

[Chijik- That’s what they say.-]

“Send that old man up. Send two people with him so we can guard this side.”

[Chiiik- Got it.-]

“And. There’s a welding machine in the toolbox in the machine room, so that’s it too.”

[Beep- Helicopter pilot and 2 others, welder. Check. Beep-]

While I was communicating with Ms. Kim on the third floor, the helicopter landed, rocking slightly between the flashing lights. As the side door of the helicopter, which was larger than expected, opened, a person who appeared to be a security guard got out first, and then an older man got out, supported by the security guard.

Amidst the whirring propeller noise, the old man who got off the helicopter couldn’t hide his discomfort. His ankle seemed to have been sprained. Behind the limping old man, people got off the helicopter one by one. Seven, eight, nine. If you count the bodyguards who got off first and the old man, there were already eleven people. It seemed like they had thrown away the patient transfer beds and filled them with people.

‘So you’re saying that you caused a big fuss about an emergency patient just because of a sprained ankle?’

It was ridiculous.

“What is this? A patient has come and what are the doctors doing!”

The old man shouted.

As the emergency medical staff on the rooftop were trying to carry away the patient transport bed, Maru intercepted them and smiled brightly while bowing.

“Oh, my. I’m sorry. Please lie down.”

The old man, who couldn’t hide his irritation, lay down on the bed without saying anything. The emergency medical staff who were following behind looked at him with anxious eyes.

“Okay. I will serve you.”

Dadada

As I ran out pushing the bed, the bodyguard and secretary followed me along the floor.

“Hey. Slow down!”

“You said it was an emergency patient.”

Maru ran towards the slope without knowing.

“Where are you going! The elevator is over there…”

He suddenly stopped and lifted the bed. With a “Uuuuuuuu!” sound, the old man was thrown out of the bed.

“uh?”

He ran after him and saw the old man being thrown up, so he grabbed the bodyguard who was struggling by the collar. When he tried to throw him away, the bodyguard, who must have learned judo, tried to subdue him by entangling Maru’s arms in return.

One stroke will do it, really.

Maru laughed in vain and pulled him with force. Since his judo skills were quite good, he couldn’t be dragged with just his bare strength. The bodyguard held on and the clothes that were hanging down began to tear. Regardless. He hit the bodyguard’s forehead.

Ugh!

As soon as he lost his breath, he threw the bodyguard who had lost his grip. Keuuuuk- The bodyguard, who couldn’t even make a sound properly, went down the slope.

Gyaaaah

He also lightly picked up and threw the screaming female secretary, who was half a beat late. She floated in the air for a moment, then fell down a slope and slid down, letting out a long, drawn-out scream.

A middle-aged doctor came running out of breath and shouted with a red face.

“Are you crazy? Why? Why on earth are you doing this!”

Ding dong-

[The door opens.]

When three armed men got out of the elevator, the already cold atmosphere froze.
