Chapter 1891 – 1891. Eternal Eden
“We need to kill Seong Yu-jin. He’s of no help to the United States. I’ve heard there’s a unit that deals with Awakened individuals. Please send them before it’s too late. I’ll take full responsibility.”
The United States had prepared for various scenarios before the D-virus outbreak. It wasn’t just about zombies.
Awakened. People who had awakened special abilities like heroes in movies. But having abilities didn’t automatically make one a hero. Some would become villains, drunk on their power. No, more would become villains. The world wasn’t normal because of the D-virus.
That’s why the United States created a unit specifically to deal with Awakened individuals. They were sometimes called Hunters. They were one of the most active special forces units. Of course, their existence was classified.
-You probably know this, but the NIS is active. It was the NIS that spread rumors to tarnish the CIA’s reputation.
“Those bastards are finally making a move.”
-Don’t underestimate the NIS. At least in Korea, they’re the top dogs. Especially Deputy Director Lee Yeon-hee, she’s far more capable than you.
“……”
-The intelligence department has a high opinion of Seong Yu-jin. His ability to manipulate electricity has many potential uses.
“The NIS relayed his demands. You’ve already heard them, haven’t you? He’s asking for one of the latest technologies in robotics and AI. Those technologies were built with the blood and gold of the United States. He wants them as an apology!”
-The intelligence department believes Seong Yu-jin is worth more than that.
“How can those desk jockeys perfectly understand what’s happening on the ground? Seong Yu-jin cut off the heads of our agents and displayed them at the entrance. It’s a provocation and a declaration of war against us! Are you going to stand by while our colleagues are killed like that?!”
-The intelligence department is also our colleague. And they died because of your stupid orders, didn’t they?
“I said I would take responsibility! If we negotiate with him, what will other CIA agents think?! Negotiating with the man who killed their colleagues? Of course, morale will drop! Some agents might even question the CIA!”
-…….
“We need to kill Seong Yu-jin! He killed CIA agents who went to talk to him! He beheaded them and labeled them as robbers, even though he could have let them live! He’s no different from an extremist terrorist! Since when did the United States negotiate with terrorists?!”
-It’s absurd that the origin of all this is throwing a tantrum like this. But… you’re right. Seong Yu-jin is extreme. To the point where we can’t control him. There are many here who say we should kill Seong Yu-jin for revenge. The problem is that it’s in Korea. Munson, are you really going to take full responsibility?
“There’s a saying here, ‘the one who tied the knot must untie it.’ I don’t know how many times I’ve said it, but I’ll take full responsibility. I’ve worked for the CIA for decades. I swore to dedicate my life to the CIA, and that oath still stands.”
-We need to prepare. The Great Awakened Unit is still on a mission for the United States. They need rest too. If nothing goes wrong, they’ll infiltrate Korea by submarine in two weeks. We need to disrupt the NIS at the right time. This needs to be done in absolute secrecy.
“It’s difficult with our current forces here. As you know, we’re short on personnel because our agents have died. Pass on the information about the Japanese agents in Korea. Lee Yeon-hee will try to deal with them somehow.”
-Not bad. Prepare well. Don’t forget this is the last chance.
“I know that better than anyone.”

I entered the lab.
Na Chae-young was glaring at the computer. She seemed to be having trouble with her AI research. Choi Hye-jin, restrained and gagged, was growling and glaring at Na Chae-young.
Quite some time had passed, but the relationship between the two hadn’t improved. Na Chae-young basically ignored Choi Hye-jin. The only interaction they had was when Na Chae-young fed her.
The cleanup was done by drones controlled by AI. They were trained for cleaning, not combat. Just because an AI was designed for combat didn’t mean it couldn’t do other things. AI had endless possibilities.
“Hek, hek hek!”
As soon as Choi Hye-jin saw me, she squatted on the floor. She spread her thighs and raised both hands next to her head. The training had paid off. Violence and pleasure were ingrained in her instincts.
“Stand up.”
Choi Hye-jin stood up.
“Sit.”
Choi Hye-jin sat down.
“Hand. Foot. Chest. Vagina.”
Each time I spoke, she presented the corresponding part of her body. When she thrust out her vagina, she seemed to be subtly expectant. I checked the vagina on my palm. The power of violence was great. Choi Hye-jin had maintained her virginity for three whole days.
“Good job.”
I stroked Choi Hye-jin’s head.
Choi Hye-jin no longer showed hostility towards me. My existence was imprinted on her instincts.
“Dr. Na, I’m going to restore Choi Hye-jin to her original state today.”
“…First, put the bomb collar on her. From what I’ve seen, there’s a 90% chance she’ll go wild when she returns to normal. You know Choi Hye-jin is a wanted criminal.”
I had contacted the NIS and asked them to find out Choi Hye-jin’s personal information. They sent me her information in less than an hour.
Choi Hye-jin was the daughter of a retired baseball player. When her father died, she went to Seoul from her hometown of Daejeon without a plan. She was in high school at the time, but she just went to Seoul without saying anything.
In Seoul, she joined a runaway gang. It was a bit unexpected. With her pretty face, she could have worked part-time or as a model. In this era, a great appearance was a spec and an ability.
What did she do after joining the runaway gang? Crime. She committed theft and robbery. Choi Hye-jin was a girl who would swing a baseball bat at someone’s head without hesitation.
After becoming the leader of the runaway gang, she didn’t do anything in particular. Just like usual. She just lived as she pleased. She didn’t care that she was wanted as a criminal. She had been chased by the police a few times, but she was too fast to be caught. In short, Choi Hye-jin was a psycho. And a suspected early Awakened.
“No, not a bomb collar, a dog collar. It suits her better.”
I was more than confident in subduing Choi Hye-jin even if she went wild.
I didn’t put the dog collar on her right away. It was more fun to put it on when her reason returned.
“Can she remember what happened in her current state?”
“Even though she was brain-dead, she still remembers you. She probably will remember?”
Na Chae-young answered indifferently. But her sunken eyes were sparkling with interest. She seemed curious if Choi Hye-jin would fully revive.
I placed my hand on Choi Hye-jin’s head, who was standing straight.
I used Recovery. Along with the familiar sensation, my stamina drained. Fortunately, it didn’t drain much. Choi Hye-jin was fine except for her brain and the D-virus. It was much easier than reviving a decaying corpse.
Recovery was successfully used. I took my hand off and observed Choi Hye-jin’s reaction.
“……!”
The wildness in her eyes was replaced by a light of intelligence. Her eyes shook violently as she looked at me. Her face turned red in an instant, and she staggered. Then, she glared at me as if she wanted to kill me and clenched her fists.
Seeing her reaction, I was certain. Choi Hye-jin remembered the training. Well, she wasn’t exactly a zombie because of my ability.
“Wanna hit me?”
“You, you…!”
Choi Hye-jin raised her fist. But when I looked at her coldly, she flinched and couldn’t strike. There was a slight fear of me mixed in. If she knew my ability, it was a natural reaction.
“Put your arm down.”
Whoosh.
Choi Hye-jin quickly lowered her arm. Then, she was surprised.
“……Huh?”
She had followed my command without realizing it. I chuckled and put the dog collar around Choi Hye-jin’s neck.
“You’re mine now. You’re my pet. Got it?”
“You little shit, I’ve been holding back!”
“Holding back? More like holding your vagina back.”
“You son of a bitch!”
Choi Hye-jin’s fist flew towards my face. This was a feint to draw my attention. The real attack was her right leg aiming for my groin. Unlike when she was a beast, she was using her brain, probably because she had her intelligence back. She was quite used to street fighting.
But her opponent was me. Would I be completely fooled by a single punch? When fighting, you had to watch the opponent’s entire movement.
I blocked her fist and leg with each of my hands. Choi Hye-jin’s face contorted. She opened her mouth and tried to bite my nose.
Thwack!
Before she could, I thrust my knee into her abdomen. Choi Hye-jin stopped breathing and collapsed to the floor. I had hit her pretty hard. If she were a normal person, her internal organs would have ruptured. But Choi Hye-jin was an Awakened, so she could endure it.
“Ugh, ugh…”
I squatted in front of Choi Hye-jin, who was collapsed on the floor, clutching her abdomen in pain. I grabbed her head, forced her to make eye contact, and smiled.
“Hye-jin. Who is your master?”
“Kkeuek…”
“Who revived you, touched your vagina, and cleaned up your poop and pee?”
“……”
“Or do you want to die like this? Were you so upset that I revived you? If you want to die that badly, I’ll kill you.”
Choi Hye-jin gritted her teeth. Even if she was dead before, she wouldn’t want to throw away her life now that she was alive again. She squeezed out the words.
“My, my master is you…!”
“That’s right. Don’t forget that fact.”
I used Recovery on her. Her complexion improved. Her expression was as crumpled as could be. But what could she do? She was weaker than me. I stroked Choi Hye-jin’s head, chest, and vagina. Her vagina was wet.
