Chapter 301 – Magical Girl (33)
“No… What is this?”
Entering her lab, Eunbi Joo stuck out her tongue and looked around.
The documents and chemicals scattered on the floor, as if there had been a thief, caught my attention.
Looking at the horrendous mess, it was clear that the owner of this room had no attachment to things at all.
“In the past, I lived with my room clean and tidy like a person suffering from myelia… “
Jade Maehyang was a woman with such severe obsession that she would get angry if even the location of a document or a screw was not in the place she designated.
Scientists are like that.
They are a sensitive people who have their own world view firmly established and feel uncomfortable if even one thing does not match their feelings.
But what is this?
I can’t believe that the once neat laboratory has become so messy and dirty.
Okmae-Hyang maintained cleanliness by saying, “The laboratory is the healing spot where I feel most at ease.”
Why did Okmaehyang leave the laboratory like a ruin?
The reason was that she had to ask herself.
In a laboratory where everything was completely destroyed, there was only one machine that was still busy.
It was something like a nuclear reactor or a super computer. It was an unnamed invention created by Okmaehyang and a secret device that did not give an answer no matter how many times I asked what it was.
—Okmaehyang was standing right in front of the machine with her back turned.
“Oh, Okmaehyang… “
“? This is Chairman Joo Eun-bi. How do we get here… Could it be that while Henrietta was holding on to Hoyoung for a while, she ran away and came to the lab to look for her magic wand?”
“… Well, you could say so.”
Accurate analysis.
As soon as she saw my face, she was able to guess the situation perfectly. As expected, the brain of the woman named Okmae Hyang was beyond her common sense.
Joo Eun-bi and Okmae-hyang.
To explain the relationship between the two, their first meeting was when Okmae-hyang was a child and Joo Eun-bi recognized her talent and scouted her.
At the time, Joo Eun-bi was the head of a large company, and Ok Mae-hyang was just a student who was praised for her intelligence.
He was just one of the many researchers sponsored by Joo Eun-bi.
However, as time passed, Okmae-hyang’s growth developed to a level where even world-renowned scholars, who are called geniuses in the world, could not even keep up with her, and at some point, with Joo Eun-bi’s knowledge, she could not even understand the research reports that came from her. It has reached a point where it is unbearable.
What research are you doing, what are you inventing? Even though no one understood her explanation, her achievements were far beyond the current level of human civilization, so it was impossible not to support her budget.
Later on, I became so swayed by Okmae-hyang that I was confused whether I was supporting them or being ripped off.
… Okmaehyang.
What on earth is this woman’s identity?
Also, what is her purpose?
In fact, maybe she should have asked that first.
“What are you doing here…” Was she doing it? Do you know what we’re in now? The magical girls you prepared are on the verge of destruction. “I am the only one who survived.”
“Hmm… “
A subtle expression that leaves you unable to tell what he is thinking.
Joo Eun-bi, whose fever rose, pushed even harder.
“Don’t you understand me?! The purpose of bringing us together was to kill Kim Ho-young, right?! That purpose now seems to have been in vain! You… ! You have a lot of strange inventions, right?! Isn’t there a secret weapon that can turn this situation around?! Don’t just sit by and act like someone else’s business, help me!
What on earth is your purpose!!
”
“My… Purpose… ?”
Okmaehyang spoke with cold and inhumane eyes, as if looking at an ant or a flying insect.
“Of course, we are successfully implementing the Ox plan. However, I will tell you in advance that even if you ask me what it is, I will not answer.”
“Then answer me this. “Is that scary-looking machine related to something called the Ox plan?”
The unidentified machine had a fan running noisily inside and was emitting fluorescent light on the outside, creating anxiety both inside and outside.
I answered, thinking it would be okay if Okmaehyang told me this much.
“Yes that’s right. This is the device that activates the Ox plan. All I have to do is press the button and the plan will be implemented. Step… “I will wait until Hoyoung defeats all the magical girls.”
“What? What is that… No, you can’t defeat it, right? Then humanity… What will happen to the world?”
“That’s none of your business.”
Suddenly, Okmaehyang’s tone became rude.
In the past, she gave off the impression that she looked down on everyone, including Joo Eun-bi, but at least she kept her courtesy on the outside, but now she seems to have decided that it is no longer necessary.
“Quickly go out and fight Hoyoung. And lose cruelly. I will be watching from here and pressing the start button on the Ox plan.”
“You… ! You! Didn’t you have any intention of beating Kim Ho-young from the beginning?! Then why on earth did you gather the magical girls?!”
“Because Hoyoung likes magical girls.”
“?”
Okmaehyang closes his mouth as if that is a sufficient explanation.
Joo Eun-bi’s insides were burned to a crisp.
“I tolerated your indulgence because I sincerely wanted to kill Kim Ho-young and break the hypnosis on the world! At least I thought you had the same desire to fight back against Kim Ho-young. But now I’m so confused. What on earth do you want to do? Are you trying to kill Kim Ho-young? But why don’t you kill me? And why was it that you were the only one who was spared from Kim Ho-young’s hypnosis? I don’t understand any of it! “Your actions are contradictory!”
“Contradiction? What kind of nonsense is that? I’m consistently moving toward one goal. “You guys repeating that you did this and that, that you were hypnotized and were released, that you obeyed and rebelled against Hoyoung, are even more contradictory.”
Okmaehyang spoke in a voice full of contempt and disgust.
In her eyes, Joo Eun-bi and other humans seemed to be inferior insects like cockroaches.
Well, in reality, there may be a significant difference in intelligence between ordinary people and Okmaehyang… To Eunbi Joo, it felt like an irrational dislike that she couldn’t understand.
“Okmaehyang… Okmaehyang! Okmaehyang!!! You are a bitch just like Kim Ho-young! I will kill you here on this spot out of resentment for her fallen comrades —!”
“Know the subject.”
Joo Eun-bi, who was running with her fists clenched, suddenly saw her land split in half, and she fell into the basement.
“Ugh… ! Okmaehyang, this bitch… “How did you remodel my house?”
That wasn’t the only trap Okmaehyang prepared.
Belts snaked out from all sides of her, wrapping around Eunbi Joo’s body and securing her to the chair.
Only then did Eunbi Joo realize that the place where she had fallen looked like a rocket launch pad.
And the moment she realized, she literally rose vertically with her chair at explosive speed.
“Aaaaa!! Okmaehyang is sooooo!!!”
Eunbi Joo rose outside her mansion through her roof and landed on a nearby road, following her arc.
The chair was broken and the restraint on the belt became flabby, so Joo Eun-bi untied the belt and staggered to her feet.
“Shit… Shit… “
The first emotion I felt was anger.
Next was shame.
She is naked now.
She couldn’t even raise her head because she was embarrassed to walk down the street without a single thing on her face.
In her haste, she covered her nipples and crotch and looked around her like a guilty person, but strangely, no one paid attention to her.
Even though her naked maiden flew from the sky, she was busy going about her own way.
“What… Are you just pretending not to see it? No… There’s something strange about the reaction. I don’t think he’s interested in me at all… “What is the reason?”
“That’s right, it’s just normal for a woman to walk around naked.”
A familiar voice.
One week Eunbi turned her head to where she heard the voice.
Jihyun Lee, naked as she was, appeared from the crowd and was walking slowly.
After she left the mansion one step ahead, she walked around and came to see an object falling from the sky with a loud noise.
Even though she didn’t know it would be Joo Eun-bi.
“Suddenly you want to expose your naked body, or you want to masturbate while enjoying people’s gaze. Everyone has moments like that, right? “It’s not something special enough to warrant attention, so everyone just ignores it and passes by.”
“Ha… ? What are you talking about? Where in the world is there a person like that? “What are you kidding?”
“Oh, I see.”
Ji-hyeon Lee guessed Eun-bi’s condition right away.
“Chairman, you haven’t been completely brainwashed yet. So it’s understandable to be confused. Huh? But how did she get out of the mansion?”
“Joy… As expected, you are less smart than Okmaehyang. As soon as she saw Jade Maehyang, she understood everything.”
“Okmaehyang… ? What happened to jade maehyang?”
“Listen carefully. “I’ll tell you what that bitch did to me.”
Eunbi Joo began to explain in detail her work in her lab.
The scene of two naked women chatting together did not receive anyone’s attention and was buried in everyday scenes.
“—Hmm… Okay. A person named Okmae-hyang is, of course, unique. From the beginning, I thought Okmae Hyang would not be Hoyoung’s antagonist, she was probably a spy… I thought so, but even that is a bit ambiguous now. That person is something different from us. We slaves can’t disobey Hoyoung, even as a joke, but Okmaehyang keeps provoking Hoyoung, right? Something’s strange… If she was really going to kill Hoyoung, I think she would have been more proactive… Or is there a secret hidden in the Ox plan that we don’t know about?”
“Now, wait a minute. “Wait a minute.”
Eunbi Joo was biting at the part that bothered her.
“She thought she was a spy from the beginning? Why? I still thought he was on the same side as us? Because they also gave us weapons. But why did you doubt that guy?”
“Ah… That’s right, Okmaehyang is the one who brought Hoyoung, who suffered from amnesia, to the hospital. Ok Mae-hyang’s attitude towards the unconscious Ho-young at that time was very kind and affectionate. Jade Maehyang’s affection dripped like honey from her eyes. At first, she thought they were lovers. So there is no way Okmae Hyang is really trying to kill Kim Ho-young… There must be some other ulterior motive… “I thought so.”
“… “What?”
Joo Eun-bi instinctively felt how important information she had just heard.
