The Jelly Alien Will Save You!
Episode 53
As I continued to hit him two more times, the Mimic Jelly roughly grabbed my ears and shook them.
Damn it!
I also grabbed his ears and shook them back.
The Mimic Jelly must have thought this wasn’t working and started to run away.
Where do you think you’re going! I grabbed onto his ears and held on. I was planning to make it clear who the master was once and for all.
Drag drag drag…
As the Mimic Jelly dragged me along, Older Brother looked troubled and wiggled his tentacles.
“Let go! Let go!”
The Mimic Jelly shouted.
When the commotion started, Kwon Bora came outside and her jaw dropped when she saw us.
“Camera, camera…”
Kwon Bora’s hands trembled as she looked for a camera, wanting to capture this moment.
Chae Heon and Captain Gong Ju Won, who came out late, had very interested expressions.
“…”
“…”
The Mimic Jelly and I fell silent for a moment as we looked at the spectators.
I let go of the Mimic Jelly’s ears to maintain my dignity.
“Hmph! Now do you know who the master is?”
I crossed my arms and looked down at the Mimic Jelly.
“~~~~!”
The Mimic Jelly was so frustrated that he stomped his non-existent feet.
After huffing and puffing for a while, the Mimic Jelly’s body suddenly began to swell greatly.
The Mimic Jelly’s surface undulated. Its form collapsed and reformed repeatedly.
‘What, what is this?’
I stepped back in confusion.
‘…Don’t tell me it’s going berserk?’
Kwon Bora and Chae Heon unconsciously approached and pulled me back. They too had sensed something ominous from the Mimic Jelly.
‘It can’t go berserk!’
I watched the Mimic Jelly anxiously.
A berserk Mimic Jelly uses all its power to transform into the strongest being it has ever changed into.
‘It might become an incredibly strong Xion!’
Just as I shuddered at the ominous premonition, the Mimic Jelly’s transformation was complete.
“…!”
Everyone’s eyes widened in surprise at the Mimic Jelly’s change.
I was the same.
Whoooosh-
Low breathing that echoed like a cave, tall height with a well-trained body, a man with well-sculpted features.
My heart sank at the very familiar face.
We knew this person all too well.
He was none other than Yoo Seong Woo, the vice guild leader of Queisa.
“Yoo Seong Woo?”
The name popped out of my mouth first.
His eyes looked empty, and his dry lips didn’t even twitch.
“Seong Woo…?”
Just as Kwon Bora reached out and tried to approach.
His form became blurred.
“…!”
His shoulders lowered, and his body became thinner.
But this was also a familiar face.
“Shi Hyeon?”
She was also a member of Queisa.
The Mimic Jelly’s appearance kept changing.
Yoo Seong Woo, Shi Hyeon, Jae Hee…
Not only Queisa members but other Hunters’ appearances were also shown.
“What the hell is this…”
Kwon Bora muttered quietly.
Then, Captain Gong Ju Won frowned and said.
“…They’re all people on the missing persons list.”
“Then they were all alive, but the Mimic Jelly devoured them?!”
At my outcry, Kwon Bora’s eyes widened in shock before she glared fiercely at the Mimic Jelly.
Chae Heon blocked Kwon Bora with his arm as she looked ready to rush at the Mimic Jelly immediately.
Crackle! Crackle!
Sparks flew from her body.
“Hae Eon, move aside.”
“Hunter Kwon Bora, please calm down.”
Chae Heon said stiffly.
However, Kwon Bora was excited and stepped forward.
“Calm down? That thing killed all our Guild Members and you want me to calm down?!”
At those words, I squeezed my eyes shut.
Queisa’s death.
It felt like something I didn’t even want to imagine was unfolding before my eyes.
Then, the Mimic Jelly, startled by the crackling air, screamed.
“No!”
The Mimic Jelly, which had been continuously changing forms, returned to its original slime form with a deflating sound.
It seemed to have stopped going berserk after being intimidated by Kwon Bora’s momentum.
“I don’t kill! Scaring them away is the rule!”
The Mimic Jelly, with tears welling up in its eyes, suddenly swelled up again.
Its greatly swollen body changed into a Yellow Hazmat Suit.
“These brought them, and took them away again.”
“…!”
I instantly got goosebumps.
* * *
We sat around in Chae Heon’s room just like when we brought Kwon Bora.
Captain Gong Ju Won explained about the Yellow Hazmat Suits.
It wasn’t much different from what we heard before.
That they were a group trying to manage abnormal phenomena.
Throughout the story, Kwon Bora kept her head down.
I made eye contact with Older Brother and asked Captain Gong Ju Won.
“Then all the missing people were taken by the Yellow Hazmat Suit side?”
“This is just my personal opinion… but seeing how they brought them and took them away, they might be conducting some kind of experiments.”
“It wouldn’t be a small-scale operation.”
Captain Gong Ju Won nodded and responded to Chae Heon’s words.
“First of all, they need to be able to bring in expensive equipment that works even in Contaminated Areas. Getting such equipment itself is difficult.”
Captain Gong Ju Won, who had been silent for a moment, looked up and continued.
“If necessary, I could contact my unit to find out more about the Yellow Hazmat Suits.”
But then, Kwon Bora spoke up.
“Um, are you certain the government isn’t involved?”
“Excuse me?”
Older Sister rolled her eyes around and then carefully continued speaking.
“You said all your colleagues were taken down by the Yellow Hazmat Suits. They must have all been Special Forces members. Yet the government’s response seems too lukewarm.”
Captain Gong Ju Won said with slight irritation.
“That incident is naturally under investigation…!”
“Captain Gong.”
Chae Heon stopped Captain Gong Ju Won.
Captain Gong Ju Won let out a long breath.
“…If you don’t trust the government, I have no other options either.”
“…”
Older Sister remained lost in thought, only fidgeting with my hand.
From her expression, it seemed she was thinking they needed other information gathering routes. Older Brother seemed to have the same thought.
I came out of the room where silence had fallen in a deadlock.
Bounce bounce bounce bounce.
It felt like there was something I could do on my own.
I found the TV in the warehouse.
It was to check the vending machine that the Yellow Hazmat Suits were supposedly managing.
Beep!
When I injected energy, the screen appeared.
Base #2.
Yongsan Station Plaza was completely empty, and the vending machine stood alone by itself.
‘Hmm.’
Was it because rumors were circulating that the Yellow Hazmat Suits were managing it? Unlike the bustling area in front of Han Seong Hospital, this place was incredibly quiet.
No results today either.
Just as I was about to feel disappointed.
Flutter, flutter.
A very light sound came from beyond the screen.
Something was slowly descending from the edge of the screen.
Huh? What’s that?
I brought my face close to the screen.
‘…A hamster?’
A round body with palm-sized wings attached – an impossibly cute appearance.
The hamster was carefully flying toward the vending machine.
Its body tilted slightly whenever the wind blew, but it quickly regained balance and found its position again.
The hamster looked around nervously while tense.
As if it knew this place was dangerous.
Then, upon reaching the front of the vending machine, it slowly circled once.
Soon the hamster folded its fluttering wings and landed gently on top of the vending machine.
‘So cute…!’
It’s like a Planetmon.
I couldn’t take my eyes off it.
The hamster squirmed around and then pulled out a tablet from the bag on its back.
Text was written on the tablet like a display board.
