Chapter 87 – Episode 87. Get Out of the Way, I Have Something to Try
I grabbed Jisoo’s chin with my hand and turned it around.
Jisoo said to me in a panicked voice.
“Lord, master. What happened-“
“Shh, wait a minute.”
Jisoo who keeps her mouth shut and stays still.
I took a closer look at Jisoo’s face.
Different.
Definitely different from usual.
Jisoo’s skin, which was pale enough to be pure white, had a reddish glow.
If this is the case, it is to the extent that it is indistinguishable from a real living person.
However…
I frowned.
‘No, it wasn’t that different from a living person in the first place. Just making your face a little red is a skill? It’s a derivative skill I only got after reaching level 13?’
I stared at Jisoo’s face and was lost in thought.
Jisoo just looked at me as if she was anxious because of my distorted expression.
‘No. It just can’t be all that effective. There must be more.’
I touched Jisoo’s body here and there.
Jisoo calls me as if embarrassed.
“Lord, Master…?”
“Stay still. I have something to check.”
“Yes..”
Jisoo shuts her mouth again.
I continued to grope Jisoo’s body here and there.
“… Uh?”
As I continued to touch my body, I finally noticed a new difference.
My body… Is warm.
It’s not the warmth you feel when you’ve just taken a warm shower.
No matter how warm you take a shower, they’re basically not living bodies, so they quickly return to their original cold body temperature.
But now… I can feel the warmth on my skin.
Warak
“Aww! Lord, master?”
I hugged the index tightly.
Yes, it’s real
It’s really warm.
I don’t feel the cold feeling I felt when I held my subordinates.
When I held Jiyoon who was alive in the past, when I held Jun at the store.
I can feel the warmth that I could feel then from Jisoo now.
And,
Pounding
Wow, this is kinda weird
The heartbeat felt through Jisoo’s chest.
I feel the heartbeat beating vigorously as if it were from a really living person.
Of course, Jisoo’s heart isn’t really beating.
This is ‘imitation’.
It’s just an imitation of a living human being.
It’s just that the chest part vibrates at regular intervals due to the skill.
This is really… Literally ‘imitation’.
A skill that mimics the bodies of my subordinates so that they naturally assimilate with real people.
Having roughly grasped the skill, I released Jisoo from my arms.
Ah… This is so ambiguous.
Of course it’s not that it’s bad.
It’s warm once you hold it.
But… It’s a really good skill! It’s a bit…
Honestly, if someone takes my subordinates and takes a closer look, they will find something strange.
Her heart doesn’t beat, and her skin is white and cold as ice.
If you get hurt, instead of blood, black smoke rises.
You will be able to notice that he is definitely not a normal human being.
But so what?
In the first place, there’s no reason for anyone other than me to take a closer look at my subordinates, and what can I do if I think it’s a little strange.
In this crazy world, one or two strange things happen.
That’s why it’s so vague.
There’s nothing wrong with having it, but is it a skill that’s even necessary?
I looked at Jisoo and said.
“It’s index. Ah- do it”
Jisoo opens her mouth small at my words.
I put my finger in Jisoo’s mouth.
“Uiyi?”
I didn’t care about Jisoo’s surprised reaction and tried to dig into Jisoo’s mouth with my finger.
What. You’re dry as usual.
If you are an ordinary person, it is essential to stay wet, but why is ‘mimicry’ not applied to this part?
If you have implemented heartbeat, shouldn’t you have implemented this as well?
While I was experimenting with Jisoo, my subordinates who had finished showering came into the cradle of rest one by one.
“Brother, what are you doing?”
In response to Jiyoon’s curious question, I continued to speak through Jisoo’s mouth.
“Yeah, I got a skill called ‘Mimicry’. It’s a skill that mimics your body as if it were a living person. Look at Jisoo’s face.”
After hearing my words, Ji-yoon looked at Ji-soo’s face carefully, but exclaimed in surprise.
“Your face is red! Wow..”
“If you put your hand on your chest, you can feel the heartbeat. Your body is as warm as the body temperature of a living person.”
At my words, Jiyoon checks her body here and there.
Feeling the vibration of his beating chest, Jiyoon let out an exclamation with an unknown expression.
“Ah…”
After taking a shower, Sieun and Juniel, who came in next, also seemed to be amazed at their changes.
I briefed Sieun, Jiyoon, and Juniel on the ‘Mimic’ skill while touching Jisoo’s mouth and body.
“That is strange. If you’re going to make it look like a normal person, you’ll have to implement something like saliva in your mouth. To realize the heartbeat and leave out these things…”
“Blood! Is it bleeding?”
I nodded my head broadly at Shi-eun’s question.
“Okay. Blood. That’s the symbol of a living person. When wounded, it bleeds. Yes?”
I raised the goblin dagger.
My stunned subordinates.
I looked at those four women and smiled.
“Don’t worry. Are you afraid I will hurt you guys?”
I called Dongseok, who was on guard outside the stationery store.
Dongseok stumbles into the cradle of rest.
I slashed Dongseok’s arm with the goblin dagger he was holding without saying a word.
“Ouch…”
Jisoo screams as if slightly surprised.
I looked at Dong-seok’s cut skin, not caring about Ji-soo’s reaction.
“.. It doesn’t emit black smoke like usual. But there’s no bleeding either. Isn’t this rather weird? A wound that doesn’t bleed.”
Si-eun looked at Dong-seok’s wounds carefully at my words, then lifted a water bottle and said to me.
“.. Brother. Could it be something like this?”
I exclaimed as I looked at the mineral water bottle in Shi-eun’s hand.
“Uh… That’s plausible? Let’s do it right away.”
I gave Dong-seok the mineral water bottle that Si-eun had given me.
Dong-seok gulps down bottled water at my command.
OK,
“Ugh!! Blood, blood comes out!!”
Red blood oozes from Dong-seok’s arm.
This is it
Yes, even though it is a mimicry skill, it would be impossible to create even a liquid that does not exist in the body.
I don’t know if it’s to the extent of slightly transforming the existing liquid.
That’s why Jisoo’s mouth was still dry, and no blood came out of Dongseok’s wound.
I called Juniel.
“Juniel.”
“?”
Juniel looks at me with suspicious eyes.
I pointed to Dongseok’s arm and said to Juniel.
“That blood. Taste it.”
“Eek?”
Juniel frowns.
Juniel, who has listened to me very docilely lately, but shows an aversion to this order.
But what can I do?
That I am the owner
What should I do?
Juniel approached Dong-seok with a rotten expression, dipped his finger in the blood flowing from his arm, and put it on his tongue.
“How is it?”
To my question, Juniel answered with a puzzled face.
“It just tastes like water. It’s like blood only in color and temperature.”
It’s not a detail that implements the taste, but well, this is good enough.
As I nodded with a satisfied face, I saw Sieun, Jiyoon, and Jisoo gulping down bottled water.
“.. Hey guys?”
My subordinates who silently drank all the water at my call.
After drinking the two liters of water, Jiyoon took a deep breath in and out, put her finger in her mouth and started sucking.
Ji-yoon’s fingers made a wet sound and soon became wet as if they were covered with saliva.
Jiyoon said to me, looking at her wet fingers with her something indescribable expression.
“Brother. This is amazing. You can swallow your saliva if you want… You can shed red blood just like a human, and even your heart beats… I… I feel like I’m a resurrected person…”
Jureuk
Suddenly, tears flowed from Jiyoon’s eyes.
“Ah.. No, tears.. I have tears.. Tears.. I have.. Uhh heuk…”
Feeling the tears flowing down her face, Jiyoon bursts into tears in earnest.
Si-eun and Ji-soo, who were looking at the moistness in their mouths like Ji-yoon, also started to shed tears when they saw it.
Is it longing for the body of the living days, or pity for one’s dead body?
My three subordinates soon started crying profusely, and I hugged them all.
Three women weeping in my arms.
I gently caressed their backs.
I was looking at Juniel to see what he was like..
She just stares at the crying women with a sad face.
It’s also Juniel.
It took quite a while for the three of them to stop crying.
Even after crying so coolly, the faces of Shi-eun, Ji-soo, and Ji-yoon looked quite refreshed.
I thought it was just a useless skill, but if it’s a skill that can touch the hearts of my subordinates like this, it’s different.
Unlike my subordinates, I’m not a dead person, so I didn’t expect to be so happy and shed tears at such a trivial and normal human physiological reaction like tears.
Oh, the swollen area around the eyes and even the wide open eyes have been realized.
Is it really a pretty detailed skill?
Shi-eun, Ji-yoon, and Ji-soo looked at each other’s swollen eyes and laughed, both curious and amused.
Hey, that’s a little salty.
I patted the three girls on the head.
“Is it that good?”
Jiyoon nods her head at my question.
“Your brother. To be honest, I haven’t been uncomfortable with my body so far. I don’t need to eat, I don’t have to go to the bathroom… But my dry, restless, cold body makes me realize that I’m really dead. Because of that, even when I feel sad, I don’t shed a drop of tears… My body…”
Jiyoon shed tears again.
I hurriedly hugged Jiyun and hugged her.
Si-eun and Ji-soo also came and comforted Ji-yoon, and Ji-yoon immediately stopped crying and smiled embarrassed.
“Ah, because this makes me shed tears once, I keep crying. I was quite the crybaby in my life.”
I wiped the tears from Jiyoon’s eyes.
Admit it, the ‘imitation’ skill.
You have a good skill
I said to Juniel, who was looking at the three women with a sad face.
“You don’t have anything like that? I feel like I’m going to cry…”
“Hey, what are the tears? I am a woman who has never shed a tear except when I was born.”
“Uh, yes..”
“Well, that is a little strange. Making a dead body look alive…”
Yes you are good
It’s like a dry year with no blood or tears.
I held Jiyoon in her arms and shook her head.
Jiyoon’s body temperature in my arms was warm as expected.
Again, I admit the ‘imitation’ skill.
You have a very good skill
Um… Wait.
Come to think of it, there’s one fact I didn’t think about because of women’s tears, right?
Being able to spray water onto tears, saliva, etc…
Isn’t that the same story as being able to spray water down?
Uh?
Uhhhhh?
Wow
That’s right.
This..
I really admit it, ‘imitation skill!!
You are really really good!!
Suddenly my eyes are filled with great desire.
Get out of the way, I have something to try.
I said, looking at the four women with eyes glistening with desire.
“Hey guys! Right Now-“
“Are you there?”
…
Oh shit what.
Who.
At this critical moment…
I looked outside the cradle of rest with a face filled with extreme annoyance.
Voice coming back
“Kang Min-goo. Are you inside?”
That voice… Is Mr. Yoosung.
What’s going on here?
Then another voice was heard.
“Mingoo? Are you inside?”
Uh… That’s Sooah Lee’s voice.
No, why did all of a sudden come here tonight?
What happened?
I suppressed the sudden surge of desire.
Our hero came, but I can’t be fooled by doing waist exercises.
I donned a thick jumper and stepped out of the Cradle of Rest.
You feel the thick, cold air enveloping your body.
Outside the stationery store, Mr. Yoo Seong and Lee Soo-ah are holding a lantern. And the sight of five guild members standing in the same clothes they wore during the Orc battle caught my eye.
How long has it been since the battle ended, why are you still wearing that outfit?
Lee Soo-ah and her guild members who found me coming out of the stationery store nodded at me.
“What is it? At a time like this…”
At my question, Lee Soo-ah, still staring at me with tired eyes, took a step forward and said,
“I have a little problem with that. I want to discuss…”
“What’s the problem? Did a new monster appear?”
“No. It’s not… No, it did show up…”
Lee Soo-ah looked at me and said something gibberish and gave a small sigh.
“This time it’s not a monster’s problem… It’s a human problem.”
Hmm..
I have a feeling that something will bother me again.
