âIâm administering the prototype treatment now.â
Shhhhh⦠A translucent chamber filled with foggy white smoke. Through the hazy glass, two figures were visibleâone with a mischievous smile and the other wearing a cold, blank expression. Gayoung leaned casually against the wall, twisting a strand of her hair, while Nam Woo-jin stood silently. Thenâ
Thud!
A grotesque, twisted beastâs hand suddenly shot out from the fog, clawing at the glass wall. The white, fur-covered hand with sharp claws pressed against the barrier. A guttural growl reverberated through the chamber. Gayoung twirled her hair lazily and muttered with a smirk.
âFailed again. Not that I expected otherwise.â
âDoesnât seem to have even the slightest effect.â
âExactly. Still useless~ as always.â
The monster trapped inside the chamber opened its enormous maw, revealing disturbingly human teeth. The sight grew more unsettling the longer one looked at it. Monsters with remnants of humanityâdid any shred of their former selves remain? Nam Woo-jinâs thoughts wandered momentarily as he observed the creature.
Gayoung turned her back nonchalantly. âHmm~ How about we conduct a tissue analysis? Who knows? Maybe the cells have changed.â
âYou seem particularly fond of experiments that involve hacking up bodies.ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âOf course! They yield the most reliable data.â Gayoung giggled, her eyes sparkling behind her glasses.
