The 31st Piece Turns the Tables

Chapter 459

All of this happened within two days. There will be no lies in this case.

Ur, who noticed Eragon’s appearance, stopped researching a cure for frost fever the next day.

In the Silver Lion Society, only Mariju could receive the news. Along the way, Mariju burst into Ur’s office, which did not yet have a new door installed.

And we talked for about an hour. Ur gave her unilateral notice. What to prepare, what to consider, what to ignore.

Mariju muttered so as not to forget all that and disappeared.

“Huuuu…”

He said it curiously, but he already knew in his bones that the situation was serious.

“The fact that Eragon is already shining means that it won’t be strange if something happens.”

A grace period of only one month.

Ur thought even that was an overly optimistic judgment.

It was no wonder that the human era collapsed at any time. The precursor to collapse could be fifteen days later, a week later, or even tomorrow.

Clap…

Ur headed to the lab and took out the experimental dogs and monkeys.

Crrrrrrr…

Kiiii…

Everyone was suffering from frost fever to a severe degree. All subjects administered laxatives fell asleep and were excluded from this experiment.

“Well, I’m sorry.”

Grumble…

Grumble…

Ur, one after another, injecting the animals with the pathogen of the groove that causes frost fever.

Since cultivating frost fever hosts required time, it was an action that was not normally taken because precious test subjects could be lost.

It was also a wasteful study of little significance in the development of palliatives or treatments.

But now that the situation has changed, I can no longer relax.

Squeak…

Squeak…

The bodies of the dog and the monkey began to grow bigger than before.

“Tell me what’s coming.”

Kujijijijik…

Kujijijijijijik…

Wow!

Wow!

The laboratory began to fill with their flesh.

Jiiiing…

“… What?”

Ur’s eyes became sharp.

Bang…

the expansion didn’t last long.

The test subjects quickly got bruises on the backs of their heads, and then poof! And the flesh burst and became limp.

Is this the language of frost fever?

“No… no.”

Frost fever was initially spread through a drug called Home. It was not something dogs and monkeys would breathe in.

“It was created to target humans…”

The home was created to target humans, and humans were chosen as a means of spreading frost fever.

Ur paid no attention to the fatality rate of frost fever. The people currently dying from frost fever are dying from other problems caused by long-term illness and not from frost fever itself.

In other words, nothing was revealed about what happened to those suffering from frost fever at the end.

‘By the way, it is clear at first glance…’

Before the test subject died from excessive stimulation, the area where the skull was began to swell and showed a slight but magical response.

It was clearly a magical response.

Clang…

Clang…

Clang…

Ur took out the test subjects trapped in the iron bars one by one. The question of whether it is okay to sacrifice other lives to preserve life has always been used as the central axis of the scale of justice.

These days, there are more and more days where the scale is tipped to one side.

* * *

The next day.

“Hmm hmmm….”

Han So-mi hesitated several times near Ur’s office. I was in the process of choosing a greeting.

First impressions are quite important.

It was the same whether it was a first meeting or a frequent meeting.

“Ah jjajaan! Hmm… this is a bit frivolous…”

My impression when I open the door and enter.

Han So-mi thought that this would have a significant impact on what kind of conversation would take place during that day’s meeting.

“Whoa….”

brightly.

Han So-mi was aware that she had to act as cheerfully as possible.

“huh?”

There was no door.

Come to think of it, Jamard made another one yesterday.

Han So-mi has no choice but to enter the office, sneaking her foot into the space where the door should be.

“De stirrup… Huh?”

Ur was not there.

“… what.”

Han So-mi looked around the office with the intention of waiting for Ur to arrive.

I could see the number of doors that had increased since yesterday, and the books that filled the closet.

The desk was full of documents.

Some of them were related to palliatives.

“These are all difficult words… Amazing.”

Even though he is not a professional pharmacist, wouldn’t he be able to quickly create an effective medicine if given time? Wouldn’t the arrogant nobles of the Silver Lion Society obediently follow his orders?… “Hmm

? “This is…”

There was a piece of paper in the pile of documents that caught my eye.

“… list?”

Ssuk…

Ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss… ssssssssssssssssss…

Just as Han So-mi was about to take it out and check it.

“It’s something a cat thief would do.”

“uh? “Are you here?”

“What’s going on?”

“It’s chilly… I just came here. “I got caught saying I couldn’t sleep.”

“It takes everything. “When you have time to worry about those around you, try to pay more attention to your own safety.”

“… What does that mean?”

Han So-mi, who recently met Ur, felt that he had become a little strange. What can I say… should I say it’s a sharp reaction so extreme that it’s embarrassing to approach?

“… What’s going on?”

“Nothing to know. If there’s anything to do, I’ll pass it on to Jamard. No… I already gave it to him.”

“My eyes are a little blurry…”

“That’s how it is.”

“It’s big… it smells a bit.”

“It’s true that I didn’t wash it.”

“… Are you sure you’re resting properly? “If there’s…any problem, I’ll help.”

“… help? “You… me?”

It’s also strange.

Ur was usually calm, but he did not crush the other person’s mood like this.

“What… are you talking like that…?”

“Don’t come here for a while.”

I was overcome with anger.

“no, I do not want!”

“… Don’t be stubborn.”

“I don’t like that either!”

“… Ugh.”

Ur laughed.

“Kuhk… khah… this is funny.”

“Are you smiling now?”

“Han So-mi. Thanks to you, I feel a little better. “Go back now.”

“As expected… what’s the problem?”

Sigh…

Ur puts his hand on Han So-mi’s shoulder.

“From today onwards, never leave Jamard.”

“yes?”

“I told Jamard too. “Do as you are told.”

Taaaaagh-!

When Ur snapped his fingers, Han So-mi was enveloped in a halo of light and was expelled from the building.

“Whew…”

After getting the list back from her hand, Ur headed to the basement.

2nd basement floor.

It is a closed laboratory.

Four men and women in prison uniforms were sitting on chairs with their hands tied behind their backs.

“Your face is much better than before.”

“It’s none of your business.”

“A guy who conducts human experiments can’t help but…”

Ur answered them with an expressionless face.

“They murdered five members of Kali Omazia’s family.”

“Why don’t you mention that those family members raped my younger sister and threw her into the river?”

“Because the story just gets longer. “I am explaining to you that you have been sentenced to death and today is the date you are scheduled to be executed.”

“joy. “I guess the same goes for the guys next to me, right?”

Criminals with a vicious look.

They were all scheduled to be executed today.

“Killed a total of 12 people, including Investigator Viang….”

“If you’re going to stop killing them, kill them quickly. “You don’t want to hear my excuses, do you?”

“….”

Ur gathered them all together for an experiment.

“right. “You die today.”

“….”

“Unlucky.”

“It was today.”

Those who are resigned and those who are sarcastic.

“Is there anything you guys want to eat before you die?”

“Is this by any chance?”

“The Last Supper… It’s not a prayer.”

“Fuck it. “Just kill me.”

“Finish it quickly and without pain.”

Ur shook his head.

“You will die painfully.”

“… what?”

“What kind of bullshit is this?”

“you! “Who sent it?”

He explained calmly.

“You won’t believe it, but…”

Ur told those who were forced to participate in the experiment what would happen in the future.

Eragon’s existence and a new era. And not only the fall of the Federation, but the survival of humanity itself.

“… You want me to believe that?”

“That’s fun.”

The response was consistent.

No one believed it.

“So, from now on, I plan to check with you guys to see what happens when frost fever progresses to its final stages. “One of the reasons you were selected is that you are already infected.”

“… If we are already tainted, is it okay for us to die? “You’re so cold-hearted.”

“Human free will or something like that doesn’t apply at all?”

Ur’s expression was the same throughout. An overly businesslike expression.

“Anyway, we’re going with all our might. “I plan to put off useless things, whether human or moral.”

“You mean to use everything that can be used? Can you handle it? “I think we’re going to die quite horribly.”

“Hehehe… Those with small livers get sick of just looking at a dead body. “You…”

Ur rested his arms on the desk facing them and rested his chin.

“It’s okay because it happens often.”

“….”

“….”

Only then did everyone start saying what they wanted to eat.

“A drink with chopped bananas.”

“A lot of smelly pork.”

“Lamb.”

Finally, the young man in the most corner spoke.

“Mom’s food.”

“… Specifically.”

“I liked the ugly potato porridge that my mom used to make.”

The young man added.

“… It must be difficult, right? “But if you just eat that, I’ll cooperate as much as I can.”

Taaaak-!

Urga called a soldier from the Silver Lion Society and searched for the young man’s mother. He said he was definitely alive and would treat him as much as he wanted.

“Hey, I want to change. “I want to eat the food my mom cooks.”

“I don’t have a mother either.”

“There are no failures with Ugly Potato Porridge. “I like it too.”

After a while, an ugly bowl of potato porridge, too large for four people, was placed on their table.

Tup…

Tup…

“Damn, it tastes bad.”

“My mom can’t cook.”

“Why didn’t you tell me earlier? “You damn bastard.”

“Hehehe… Kiheehee….”

The woman laughed.

“It’s so tasteless that it’s perfect to eat before you die. “If you tell me to live on food like this, it’s better to die.”

“Thanks for the compliments. “It’s amazing that I’m still alive.”

“Yes baby. Well… I guess your mother likes you.”

“Did you feel it?”

“… huh.”

After biting down on the table…

Jeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee–sump-clap-click

-click…

The bulkhead of the laboratory was lowered.

The space they were in was divided into four.

“What does this do?”

“I don’t want to ruin the experiment by making a fuss. “It’s about making sure they don’t influence each other.”

“Oh, that’s good. Are you saying that only you can see my ugly appearance? “I heard he died very pathetically from frost fever or something.”

Nod…

“Haa….”

“Huhuuu….”

Ur said.

“Hold on as long as you can.”

“I was planning on doing that even if I didn’t say it.”

“… Then think of me as the devil.”

Frost fever bacteria is mixed with gas and sprayed because it can cause seizures if touched by a needle.

Pusheeeeee…

I think it’s been about a minute since the smoke was introduced.

“Krrrrr….”

“Kaaaaaaaaaa!”

Quaaaaang-!

Quaaaaang-!

Death row inmates hitting the bulkhead.

The bulkheads kept collapsing every time I hit them, which was unsettling at first, but the important thing now was not to miss their changes even for a moment.

Puhwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah…

“Damn?…?”

The woman who was ranting was the first to die when her head exploded?

Pushyee…

The acting continued to be put in.

Since it was a forced reaction, it couldn’t be right in all situations. If just one person could discover the secret of frost fever, that would be enough.

“Kwaaaa!”

Bang bang bang!

Another death row inmate, this time committing suicide by hitting his head against the bulkhead.

“Damn…”

There was not enough time, but two meaningless deaths had already occurred.

“Kwaaaah!”

Fuwaaaaaaa!

The third death row inmate collapses with blue blood gushing from every vein.

Now only the young man who emptied his bowl by himself was left.

“… you.”

“….”

“… Are you conscious?”

The young man glared at Ur with bloodshot, blue eyes.

“You said you would cooperate as much as possible…”

A test subject enduring unimaginable pain. Ur was amazed at his mental strength.

“You know…”

“Tell me. “The final response has not yet been reached.”

“Cool … Boys ….”

“Tell me. “Don’t lose your mind.”

“I killed someone.”

“I know, I’ve seen the records.”

“Dozens of people.”

“I saw.”

“They are all the bastards who bullied me… I probably killed the most people out of all the people here.”

“… okay. “It’s not something to brag about.”

“This… if I endure until the end… will I save that many people?”

“So many people that it’s impossible to compare.”

The young man grinned.

“Then will I go to heaven when I die? “Will I go to hell?”

“… I’m the one going to hell.”

Sigh…

“I guess I won’t be lonely.”

Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

it?

Urga focused on the reaction that occurred in the young man’s body.

“This is… the final reaction of frost fever.”

Whoa…

The young man’s body glowed bright blue and expanded. Just like Chaila, the nobleman of the Silver Lion Society who opposed him earlier.

“Ah… I can’t bear it anymore…”

“… Thank you for your hard work. “I’ll do my best.”

Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa8551114588 there?

The laboratory was in a riot.
