The Jelly Alien Will Save You!

Episode 88

“How did I not think of this…?”

Shi Hyeon muttered in disbelief.

“Hahaha! What a brilliant idea! Yes! If we make it enormously large, that could work. No, we could temporarily shut it down just by blocking the main pillars supporting the cognitive distortion.”

Henry slapped his knee and cheered.

I asked back.

“The main pillars supporting the cognitive distortion?”

“Yes, yes, that tower. It means we need to create a barrier surrounding that place.”

“Wow…!”

My eyes sparkled.

“But if all the mutants in this city go berserk—”

Henry continued in a low voice.

“It means you could be in danger too. Would that still be okay?”

“We have to take that level of risk.”

I neatly folded the note I had quickly written and gently pushed it into the mailbox.

Swoosh—!

The letter disappeared instantly as if sucked into an invisible vacuum cleaner.

‘Please, make sure to deliver it properly. God of the Contaminated Area.’

I was clasping my hands together in prayer when—

“Grandpa, what do we need to prepare right away?”

“Right! Old man. What do we need to make that barrier big?”

At my question, Henry stroked his chin and narrowed his eyes.

“The materials themselves should be roughly manageable with what we have now… but more importantly.”

Henry’s blue eyes turned in one direction.

At the end of his gaze stood an ominous and massive tower rising tall in the middle of the city.

“We need a location to install the barrier on the tower and a way to break through the security…”

Shi Hyeon stepped forward.

“Leave that to me. I haven’t gained nothing from going in and out of the tower all this time.”

“Oh…”

So reliable…

I was clapping for her when a sudden thought made me tilt my head.

Wait, then Older Sister has been going in and out of the tower all this time? Why?

“If you were trying to escape from here, why did you keep going in and out of the tower? The tower is in the center of the city. Shouldn’t you be going outside?”

I blinked my eyes.

Then Shi Hyeon’s mouth snapped shut.

“…?”

She’s hiding something. Could it be that Yoo Seong Woo is captured in the tower?

I was about to press her when she left just one word and turned around.

“Because I want revenge.”

At that lonely and chilling figure from behind, I was about to gulp when—

“Yes, yes, revenge is good! Before that, let’s raise the shutters!”

Henry cheerfully shouted and wrapped a grimy yellow towel (apron) around my neck.

“Whether we rob the tower or get revenge, we still have to do business first. Dam, you’re our shop’s mascot, so wag your tail in front of the door!”

“…”

I looked down at the apron blankly.

“Old man, why are you so obsessed with business? You don’t have to do business.”

“That’s because…”

“Because?”

“Because that’s my policy!”

Henry laughed “hahaha” as if he wouldn’t say anything more and went into the shop.

Why do people here have so many secrets? I grumbled and followed behind.

Not knowing that Older Brother was quietly watching Shi Hyeon’s retreating figure.

* * *

Do Gyeol opened his mouth then closed it.

There was one thing he really wanted to ask Shi Hyeon.

But as a Black Octopus now, he couldn’t ask anything.

…I really want to hear an answer.

Do Gyeol wriggled into the shop and grabbed Wuparupa’s head again.

Wuparupa, who was eating sausage, frowned.

“This rude fellow is touching Master’s scalp again…!”

Master? Do Gyeol let out a snicker.

[Forget it. Just teach me how to make an evolution core again.]

The Black Octopus spoke with his expression.

According to Yeonjam, to disguise as a human, he first needed to create something called a magic orb (evolution core).

The reason the two had been fighting all morning was entirely because of that.

Yeonjam sighed and explained again.

“Gather energy like this, with the feeling of giving birth to a child.”

[How am I supposed to feel something I’ll never experience in my lifetime?!]

“You foolish creature! You don’t understand the feeling of feelings!”

[What is the feeling of feelings, you deficient Wuparupa!]

The two grabbed each other’s scalps again.

The Black Octopus irritably swallowed Wuparupa.

[Useless Wuparupa! Just die!]

Wuparupa, whose tail was swallowed, struggled.

“This fellow! Oh my!”

[Die! Die! Die!]

Then, Dam discovered the two’s life-and-death struggle and came running.

In the meantime, the Black Octopus who had finally swallowed Wuparupa had a lumpy body.

“No, Older Brother! You can’t eat him! Spit him out, spit!”

The Black Octopus pretended not to know and rolled his eyes around—

“Older Brother, quickly!”

At Dam’s urging, he spat out Yeonjam.

The saliva-covered Wuparupa was ejected outside.

“Older Brother, how can you bully your friend?”

Do Gyeol said with a pitiful expression that that guy wasn’t a friend.

But Dam raised her index finger as if she wouldn’t let it slide and sternly scolded him.

[If only that guy wasn’t here…!]

Do Gyeol was grinding his teeth when—

Yeonjam held up a round pearl-like orb.

“My disciple… you finally gave birth.”

[…?]

“You gained treasure through suffering.”

Do Gyeol looked back and forth between Yeonjam and the evolution core with empty eyes.

What he had just spat out was Wuparupa, definitely not such a brilliant orb.

“Now you just need to gather clean purification energy here stitch by stitch.”

[Stitch by stitch?]

“Yes, about a hundred years of accumulation should be enough.”

[A hundred years?]

It was the moment Do Gyeol asked back with an incredulous expression.

Dam, who had been crouching and listening to the conversation, flicked her hand and shot purification power at the orb.

Then a rainbow-colored luster flowed from the evolution core.

The startled Yeonjam opened his mouth, and Do Gyeol and Dam giggled.

“I can’t wait a hundred years.”

[That’s right.]

“What do we do now?”

Wuparupa seemed displeased with the two of them and fluttered both gills.

But soon, as if giving up, he spoke with a sigh.

“Now it’s all done.”

[…? What do you mean it’s all done…]

Black Octopus, who had been frowning, suddenly collapsed.

“…Older Brother?”

When Dam poked him, Black Octopus rolled limply to the side.

Do Gyeol’s body was hot.

“Older Brother? Older Brother, what’s wrong!”

Dam’s panicked voice grew louder.

Do Gyeol wanted to answer, but he couldn’t open his mouth at all.

His entire body was as hot as if it had been thrown into the Furnace, and a bizarre sensation swept through his body as if bones and muscles were being forcibly grown inside.

[It’s hot…]
