Changed Body 297

Chapter 297 – Question 2 (1)

Is it natural according to the flow of time?

Or is it unnatural for some reason?

There are only two things that haven’t changed in her who has changed a lot of her.

The first is beauty.

Compared to when I first met her in her 20s, she doesn’t bow much now.

However, her charm has changed.

Instead of freshness and freshness that can be had at a young age, it should be said that things like richness and mature beauty filled the place instead.

In fact, there have been discussions on the Internet about her past and present photos.

Han Joo-hee from the past or Han Joo-hee from the present, which one do you like more?

Surprisingly, hundreds of thousands of people voted, and the vote rate was 51:49, the golden ratio.

The second thing that hasn’t changed is none other than an undying desire for research.

Unlike other drugs that spread their influence from the body through magic, she started calling the secretary who manages her schedule as soon as they announced the appearance of a new drug that spreads its influence from magic to the body.

“Please cancel all appointments. Schedules that cannot be canceled are separately selected and postponed.”

The secretary asks in a troubled voice over the receiver at the unexpected cancellation of the schedule.

-I… , How far should I cancel?

Then, Han Joo-hee answered in a tone as if asking what kind of question it was.

“Until my studies are finished.”

After her words and her phone call, she wakes up holding the bag of her red pills in her hand.

“Let’s go to the lab.”

Take the elevator and head down.

In addition to the master’s room on the 66th floor, the laboratory on the 66th floor is her own space.

It is a paradise for researchers, where research facilities costing at least hundreds of millions and at most billions of dollars are lined up in a row.

“Great. First, let’s check the ingredients of the pill you brought.”

Use small tweezers to push the red pill you have taken out into the component analyzer and activate it.

After about 3 minutes, the ingredients of the pill appear on the small screen.

“This…”

Han Joo-hee’s eyes widen as she confirms this.

What in the world is it like that?

Curious, I approached her and examined the ingredients floating on the small screen.

“Cocaine, heroin, meth…”

This isn’t a comprehensive drug set.

It contains all three major drugs famous for their hallucinogenic and addictive properties.

However, it seemed that Han Joo-hee was surprised not because of simple drugs.

“It doesn’t matter.”

Han Joo-hee points with her index finger at one of the ingredients floating on the small screen.

I checked something.

“A new type of magical power of unknown nature… ?”

Magic of a completely different nature from the magic of a nature that has been revealed so far is included in the composition of the composition.

Is this the red mana clinging to Kim Jung-hoon’s mana?

“Discovering a new type of magic… , This is really… !”

Her eyes are full of joy.

“See? Ingredient ratio here.”
“Uh… , The share of the three major drugs is not that large.”

The proportion of the three major drugs in the composition of the red pill is about 10% of the total.

Of the remaining 90% of the ingredients, more than 80% were made up of magic with a new nature.

“Drugs are simply a device to increase addiction and dependence. This red magic power whose exact characteristics are unknown! It was used to make you addicted to and dependent on the effects of this magical power.”

Very excited, very excited

Her mouth, which had never spoken to her more than three words a day, would not know how to open and close.

While listening to her explanation, I suddenly had a question.

“Oh, there is something I want to ask you.”
“What is it?”
“I took the guy who took this drug to the hospital and had him do a drug test.”
“So what?”
“As I said earlier, there was no reaction to the drug.”

Point to the three drug ingredients that decorate the top of the ingredient list and connect the words.

“Even the drugs here.”
“That… , It’s definitely a strange thing.”

After mana began to be used in daily life in earnest.

Drug testing has become more accurate, faster and easier.

As for how accurate it is, if there is 0.000001g of drug in the body, no, even less than that, it can be caught unconditionally.

The reason why it was not revealed in the test even though the three major drugs were included.

As an answer to this, she pointed to magic power, which accounts for most of the pill’s ingredients.

“Perhaps this magic did not work. Of course, how could that be… , I will have to find out now.”
“Is that so.”

The frozen expression melts in the warm wind and comes alive.

A face I wanted to face all my life, but couldn’t make with my own strength.

She speaks in a lively voice, showing her face unfiltered to me who occupied her other body.

“The whole process itself is simple.”

Outstretched fingers.

What the tip points to is magic of an unidentified nature.

“If we can find out what kind of magic this magical power has, all the mysteries of medicine will be solved. And if you add these properties to the test response, it will no longer escape the drug testing net.”

To be sure, the process itself is simple.

However, if there is a problem.

“It must be a problem to dig into the nature of magical power.”
“Yes. The process itself is simple, but the problem is that that one is the most difficult.”

Mana cannot be seen with the eyes, smelled with the nose, heard with the ears, or touched with the hands.

Not to mention the things you can’t taste with your mouth.

It is very difficult for even the most sensitive magician to dig into the nature of magical power, which is all sensed by the sixth sense, not the five senses.

“First of all, I need to find a way to extract refined magic in the form of pills. Next… , Conduct a component test through the magical component tester, and… , Ha.”

She sighs as she tries hard to explain her way.

Look at this.

It was so difficult to grasp the nature of magical power.

Even the properties discovered this time do not contain elements that have harmful effects on the human body.

It must be difficult in many ways.

Her silently establishes her course, and she throws a word above her watching her.

“If you go through that process one by one, it will take a considerable amount of time.”
“Because it’s about discovering the nature of new magical powers. Maybe… , It will take quite a bit of time.”
“Will adding a reaction to a drug test be delayed that much?”

Did my words sound like a haste?

She frowns and shoots her at me.

“I understand the seriousness of the situation. But this is unavoidable.”
“Calm down. I didn’t mean to argue.”

Then, she sighs and apologizes to her.

“Ha… , Sorry. Because her personality sharpens when she gets excited for a second.”
“Well, it could be.”

I fully understand.

No, rather, it was a reaction I wanted to see.

Because those pointed, sharp, and hot emotions were the Han Joo-hee I knew.

I wondered where that personality had gone, but it was just hiding well inside.

I unknowingly smile and take out a pill from the plastic bag and place it on the palm of my hand.

“Therefore… , The first thing to do is to extract the magic contained in this pill.”
“Yes. I’ll have to run the extractor first, but… , I don’t know. Whether it can be extracted perfectly without any loss of properties.”

Her gaze goes to the extractor that occupies a spot in one corner of the lab.

A machine that extracts magical power from magical equipment or items.

But even this isn’t perfect.

Most of the magical power of the input nature can be extracted with a loss rate of less than 0.1%, but since the magical power of the nature of which there is no data is extracted only with existing data, it is difficult to estimate how large the loss rate will be.

In order to extract it perfectly, it is necessary to constantly fine-tune the values ​​used for extraction to collect data… , Even if you are lucky enough to find the value quickly, it will take at least ten days.

When I thought of her research, which took dozens of days for one process, I suddenly laughed.

“Haha.”

I don’t know what kind of feeling it is.

Maybe it was because of her disappointment towards her, who would give up even dozens of days of her time for the sake of her studies.

Or is there some other reason?

“… Why are you laughing all of a sudden?”

She asks back with her tone of incomprehensibility, and answers with her fist holding her pill towards her.

“As I kept listening to it, I realized that I was really needed by Hunter Han Joo-hee.”
“I beg your pardon?”

As if she felt offended by my words, I showed her ability in front of her with her eyes sharply raised.

Magical power refined in the form of pills.

Without touching any other ingredients, only extracting magic power and returning it to its original form, an ability that only I can freely manipulate magic itself.

“… !”

Her eyes widen as if they were going to tear, fixed in her fist holding the red pill.

“Uh, how…”

Even if you can’t see it, she will feel it.

That magical power of a quality I had never felt before was seeping out of my grasp.

I don’t even know what expression to make, so my face is mixed up.

Whisper to her

“The words that Hunter Han Joo-hee is a necessary existence… , That sounds right, right?”

Is it because of the remaining pride?

As if she didn’t want to admit it, she was nodding her head lightly while frowning.

What did she say when she saw it…

She was a little thrilled
