Chapter 465 – Elixir (3)
My younger brother, who was always bedridden, left the hospital room for the first time in a long time and came back after being examined.
And the expression on her doctor’s face when he returned with her was filled with incomprehensible emotions.
It was worth it.
“Congenital magical power deficiency…, I was completely cured. No, it’s difficult to even call this a complete cure.”
The symptoms of congenital magic deficiency, also called an incurable or incurable disease in hunter society, have disappeared.
It wasn’t just that.
“I don’t know how this happened…, Patient Baek Hyun-jin’s physical condition is very good.”
“What I’m saying is that it’s good… ?”
“If you come to your senses right away, you can walk just by taking in the nutrients you lack…, No, it’s good enough to run around.”
Isn’t it absurd?
The only thing lacking in the body of a patient who had been unconscious for over 10 years and was unable to move his body, lying motionless in a position changed by a nurse.
It was a bewildering situation that neither the doctor nor the guardian could understand.
The two people’s eyes naturally turned to Kim Do-jin, who was sitting on a chair a little far away and dozing off with a tired face.
The two realized at the same time.
‘It’s just that person.’
He is the only one who can give us a clear answer to today’s incomprehensible reality.
No matter who goes first, their steps head towards Kim Do-jin.
A shadow that falls over your head in an instant.
As Kim Do-jin raised her head with blank eyes, Baekhyun-ah asked.
“The inspection just finished. Hyunjin…, I was completely cured.”
“Hehe, that’s good.”
Kim Do-jin smiles with a smile full of pure joy.
“… Can I ask?”
“How did you treat her brother?”
“That’s right.”
Two pairs of passionate gazes are directed at him.
A wizard on one side, a doctor on the other.
In both cases, it would be a sad job to come second to solving and understanding curiosity and questions.
But it is a pity.
Because the answer he will give now is quite different from the understanding and solution they are hoping for.
“This might not be the answer you want, but if I had to say it…, I just pressed it with the power of the elixir.”
An unexpected and far short of expectations.
The doctor who had been watching quietly stepped forward cautiously.
“Until now, there have been frequent attempts to treat congenital magical power deficiency through elixirs. And they all failed.”
How could you succeed when everyone else failed?
“That’s it… “I guess this happened because the elixirs other people used were less effective, right?”
The doctor opened his mouth with an expression of disapproval at the remark that seemed to ignore all the efforts made so far.
“It is no exaggeration to say that most existing elixirs have been used as treatments to treat this disease…”
“Yes. Most of them mean that there are some that I have never used. “I wrote that.”
It was frustrating.
It’s not like I’m nodding twenty times, I just keep biting the tail of people’s words.
However, Kim Do-jin needed this process.
It was not another elixir, but a treatment using elixir, the best elixir in existence.
Even if it’s just to repay a life debt, isn’t it enough material to impress the other person?
Kim Do-jin has never hidden such good deeds since his days.
Why do I have to hide it?
I’m not saying I didn’t do something, I’m just saying I did something.
The doctor, who was extremely impatient with Kim Do-jin’s deliberate speaking style for dramatic production, asked.
“So what is the elixir you used this time… “Can you please tell me?”
“Of course.”
Unlike before, he answered willingly and took out a small bottle from the box next to him and showed it to the two of them.
“This is it.”
“Uhm…, This… ?”
The doctor’s upper body leaned forward as he couldn’t control his curiosity about the elixir.
Kim Do-jin continued.
“Elixir.”
“Omg… ?!”
“Oh… !”
The best elixir in existence that appeared out of nowhere.
At this, the faces of the two people were colored with astonishment.
* * *
Things went wrong.
To be precise, it was so distorted that it couldn’t even be described as twisted.
The result you hold in your hand is bound to have a cause.
So she turned around.
Where did all this originate?
And the answer came quickly.
“Kim Do-jin…”
As soon as he started to move forward, things that were going smoothly started to come to a halt.
“Ha.”
She regretted it.
When he realized that he was going to be a significant threat, he should have done everything.
At that time, I thought I had quite a bit of time left.
But it wasn’t.
‘I covered it so quickly.’
He suddenly grew so big.
No matter how much I try, I can’t completely control him.
Thanks to this, her situation only became more difficult.
Big and small events that occurred in Korea.
Part of the responsibility for failing to prevent this in advance was passed on to me.
“…”
Of course, that doesn’t mean they can inflict direct harm or sanctions on her.
Her role is ultimately that of a helper.
I sympathize with some of their ideas and am just taking steps together, because it is not a role that is assigned to them.
However, that does not mean we can completely ignore their opinions.
It was a time when she was struggling with this.
Wow-
The smartphone vibrates.
“…”
The vibration came not from the existing smartphone left on the desk, but from another smartphone hidden deep in the desk drawer.
When this smartphone rings, there is only one reason.
Call.
“Ha.”
With a small sigh, she got up straight away, took the elevator, and headed to her lab.
Facilities and equipment packed into a spacious space.
There was only one piece of equipment there that wasn’t related to research.
It is none other than a transparent crystal ball placed in one corner of the desk.
Of course, it is not for decoration.
This was a communication device.
An artifact that she developed secretly and does not announce to the public, but is only used as a means of communication with the organization.
When magical power is injected into an empty crystal ball, it connects to the crystal ball placed at the specified coordinates and illuminates that area.
Inside the crystal ball, a dark background and a blurry silhouette are clearly visible.
-“It’s been a while, Scarlet Witch.”
Eventually, a young man’s warm and affectionate voice is heard.
On the contrary, Han Joo-hee asked her man in a cold manner.
“I’m busy, so I’ll just keep things simple.”
Then a voice full of regret returns.
-“This…, You’re still cool. “I wish we had a closer relationship.”
The eyebrows naturally narrow.
“Don’t be mistaken. “I just sympathize with your wishes, and I have no intention of becoming friendly with you on a human level.”
-“Haha… “You said it so clearly, I have nothing more to say.”
There is nothing more rude and damaging to a relationship than crossing the line at will.
The man who knew this took a step back at her firm answer.
-“Great. Let’s get to the point as you wish.”
Lowering tone.
At the same time, the surrounding atmosphere also changed drastically.
He continued speaking, changing from a warm and friendly atmosphere to a cold and sharp one.
-“You probably know that the recent failures in Korea and neighboring countries are quite painful.”
“…”
-“Of course it’s not your fault. But…, We concluded that if you had been a little more proactive, it would have led to a better outcome.”
It was true.
In fact, she maintained a passive attitude in several incidents.
That’s because Kim Do-jin and her daughter were causing trouble in each incident.
At that time, she was moved by her thoughts and asked with her sharp eyes.
“So what do you want to say?”
-“I doubt it.”
“Doubt… “You mean?”
-“There is no way you, a thorough person, could not have predicted this outcome. Isn’t that right?”
“…”
She is silent again.
It would be a lie to say I didn’t expect it at all.
But her fault was only part of it.
“This is also the result of the organization’s strength being weaker than I thought.”
-“…”
He wasn’t the only one being swayed here and there by a single obstructionist.
Isn’t it the same for an organization that cannot avoid failure if it fails to catch that one thing?
The man, who was silent for a moment, obediently accepted her harsh words.
-“It’s not wrong. It is true that the work here is urgent, and the Asian side has been neglected.”
But she didn’t just accept it.
-“… That’s why I expected your help.”
A voice that sends a chill down the back of your neck.
This was a warning.
The responsibility that can be passed on to oneself and the organization ends here.
So she changed her words and asked.
“So…, Since you are doubting me, are you asking me to prove it again?”
-“It’s not enough to prove it. However, there is something I would like you to help me with.”
She curled up one corner of her mouth and laughed at her partner’s words.
It was an odd pun.
What else is it if it’s not proof that you can dispel doubts about yourself through that help?
I wanted to cut off communication with her and let her do whatever she wanted, whether she doubted it or not, but she held back.
And she asked.
“How can I help?”
To this, her man smiled, showing off his white teeth.
-“Brainwasher. I need him.”
