Episode 141. 「White Blood」 (2)

 

Before they knew it, episode 1 had ended, and as they stared at the darkened screen, the only sound in the department room was the students swallowing their saliva.

 

 

 

“…This is really interesting, isn’t it?”

 

 

 

At one student’s voice breaking the silence, everyone nodded their heads.

 

 

 

“Honestly, I was hesitating whether to watch it because I thought it might be cringeworthy, but at this level, I think it’s worth watching the next episode?”

 

“Did you see that action scene earlier where Ryu Yeon-woo was fighting those machines?”

 

 

 

At those words, his friends nodded their heads.

 

 

 

“Korea’s standards have really improved a lot.”

 

 

 

As he sat there quietly, clicking his tongue as if somewhat disappointed, his friends stared at him.

 

 

 

“…Ji-woo, what are you doing? Hurry up and click for the next episode.”

 

“Oh geez. We can watch the next episode right away. Thank goodness.”

 

 

 

He had forgotten that since it was a Netflix series, they could watch the next episode immediately.

 

 

 

The friend closest to the computer operated the mouse and clicked to watch the next episode, and episode 2 began playing.

 

 

 

***

 

 

 

The massive trembling had turned everything upside down.

 

 

 

Kuwoong─.

 

Kiiiiik─.

 

 

 

“Uaaaah!”

 

“Kyaah!”

 

 

 

The screams of the Red Blood Cells inside the elevator reached Do-jin’s ears as he clung to the ceiling.

 

 

 

The body of the elevator that had been cruising smoothly within the pillar of light swayed violently from side to side, causing the Red Blood Cells inside to tangle with each other and bounce off the walls in all directions.

 

 

 

‘What? Why is this happening?!’

 

– It seems to be because of the great tremor. Sometimes the orbital elevator can’t fully receive the power of the Femoral Vein and derails. It’s very dangerous.

 

 

 

Even without the Narrator’s words, he could feel the danger firsthand through the wildly shaking orbital elevator.

 

 

 

‘Damn! Is the vein not functioning properly?!’

 

 

 

Acute lymphoblastic leukemia is a type of blood cancer that occurs in lymphocyte lineage cells.

 

Due to various complications, it seemed the body had already lost some of its functions.

 

 

 

Even so, in the outside world, the current situation would be a brief problem lasting only microseconds, so there was no immediate threat to Younger Sibling’s life, but inside the body, even that small problem was a disaster, causing the orbital elevator to shake in all directions as it received force in the wrong direction.

 

 

 

Other orbital elevators that had departed later passed by at tremendous speed.

 

 

 

The one that Ella and Do-jin had boarded seemed to have already fallen out of formation and lost its function.

 

 

 

The orbital elevator twisted and deformed, and unable to withstand the force, its doors were torn off, and Red Blood Cells poured out through the torn doorway like being sucked out of a punctured airplane.

 

 

 

“Mister!”

 

 

 

Among the Red Blood Cells flying into outer space, he spotted twin-tailed hair fluttering and swaying.

 

 

 

Do-jin kicked off the side of the elevator and flew toward Ella’s direction.

 

 

 

“Hey, cell! Look this way!”

 

“It’s Ella!”

 

 

 

He was flying toward Ella, but the speed at which she had been thrown out was so fast that the distance wasn’t easily closing.

 

 

 

“Mister! Behind you!”

 

 

 

Looking in the direction Ella was pointing, he saw a large fragment of the orbital elevator flying toward Do-jin.

 

 

 

“Damn.”

 

 

 

There was no choice.

 

Though it was already on the verge of breaking, he drew his sword from his waist.

 

 

 

‘I’ll have to find a new sword somewhere.’

 

 

 

This was the sword that had been lying in front of Do-jin when he first regained consciousness after entering Younger Sibling’s body six years ago.

 

It was a sword that had helped him greatly in various ways during his journey from toe tips to thigh…

 

 

 

“But I can’t die here.”

 

 

 

He swung his sword horizontally with great force toward the flying fragment.

 

 

 

Kung─.

 

Passeut─.

 

 

 

With an intense collision sound, the fragment was deflected, but the sword shattered into pieces.

 

 

 

“Huh? Mister!”

 

 

 

Just then, Ella’s voice came from behind.

 

When Do-jin turned around, he saw that the brooch Ella was wearing was emitting an intense blue light that overwhelmed the purple pillar of the femoral artery.

 

 

 

And Ella, hanging onto the brooch, flew toward Do-jin, while the blue gem attached to the brooch popped off and attracted the sword fragments scattering through the weightless space.

 

 

 

Jiiiing─.

 

 

 

The gathered sword fragments and gem merged together as if they had originally been one, revealing the form of a new sword with a blue gem embedded in its black blade.

 

 

 

“Eek! My brooch!”

 

“Is that what’s important right now! Hold on tight.”

 

 

 

First priority was escaping from this space.

 

If they collided head-on with another orbital elevator that was dangerously passing by them at tremendous speed, there wouldn’t even be bones left to collect.

 

 

 

Ella whimpered as she looked at the spot where the gem from her golden brooch had been.

 

 

 

Do-jin gripped Ella tightly with one hand and swung his sword toward the edge of the purple pillar of the femoral vein.

 

 

 

Slash─.

 

 

 

As the blade swung the pitch-black sword, the surface of the light pillar was cut away, and Do-jin and Ella were strongly sucked into the opened gap.

 

 

 

“Kyaaah!”

 

 

 

***

 

 

 

Meanwhile, on the internet, speculation posts about the sword Yeon-woo was holding and the fused gem were running rampant.

 

 

 

– I think that’s an Enhancement Stone

 

└ lol what kind of game is this? So it’ll blow up later when you try to upgrade?

 

└ ??? : Oops, my hand slipped

 

 

 

– Since that’s also an item inside the body, wouldn’t it be an important clue?

 

└ I’m a practicing doctor. I speculate it’s a drug component used for leukemia.

 

└ Yeah yeah, I’m a hospital director. No proof, no credibility?

 

 

 

– But meanwhile, Ella is so cute, seems like a newcomer

 

└ For real, the casting seems perfect

 

 

 

– What are the posts below talking about?

 

└ There’s a Netflix series called White Blood that started today, starring Ryu Yeon-woo

 

└ If it’s Ryu Yeon-woo, it’s worth watching and trusting ㅇㅇ

 

 

 

The speed at which posts were regenerating got faster and faster, and people drawn by this began clicking on 「White Blood」 one by one.

 

 

 

***

 

 

 

Whoosh─.

 

 

 

An object falling at tremendous speed, tearing through the atmosphere.

 

 

 

It wasn’t a meteor, but Do-jin and Ella.

 

 

 

“Ueee! I’m getting dizzy!”

 

 

 

Ella, held in Do-jin’s arms as they spun and flew through the sky, screamed.

 

 

 

After Do-jin and Ella were sucked into the gap in the light pillar, the place they emerged was the atmosphere of a remote planet.

 

 

 

They were breaking through the atmosphere in free fall at high speed, rapidly approaching the ground.

 

 

 

“Narrator! We’re going to die at this rate! Calculate if there’s any way!”

 

– To reduce your current falling speed, you need to apply reverse thrust.

 

 

 

Do-jin looked bewildered at the Narrator’s words and retorted.

 

 

 

“What am I, a robot? How do I apply reverse thrust!”

 

– You’ll have to figure it out somehow.

 

 

 

As Do-jin racked his brain, he remembered the miniaturized motorcycle hanging at his waist.

 

 

 

“Narrator! What happens if I summon the motorcycle in this situation?”

 

– Since it’s currently in uniform motion with you, Do-jin, there shouldn’t be any problem boarding it in mid-air. You’ll experience more momentary air resistance, but mass doesn’t affect free fall anyway.

 

 

 

Do-jin naturally knew about Galileo Galilei’s free fall experiment.

 

He just wondered if it applied to the ridiculous over-technology called ‘miniaturization’ as well.

 

 

 

Looking at the approaching ground, there was no time to spare.

 

 

 

Do-jin quickly pulled out the motorcycle from his waist and summoned it in mid-air.

 

 

 

“Ella! Hold on tight.”

 

“Ueeng! I think I’m going to throw up.”

 

“If you throw up on my back, I’ll make you disappear! For real!”

 

 

 

He quickly got into position, mounted the summoned motorcycle, and applied reverse thrust.

 

 

 

Whirrrr─.

 

 

 

When he pulled the accelerator all the way, he could feel the magnetic levitation engine overheating as it resisted the tremendous speed.

 

 

 

Their speed gradually decreased.

 

 

 

But with little distance left to the ground, this wouldn’t be enough.

 

Do-jin stood up on the saddle of the falling motorcycle and grabbed Ella.

 

 

 

‘At this speed, it should be manageable.’

 

 

 

Do-jin concentrated all his energy into his legs and leaped into the air while holding Ella.

 

 

 

The motorcycle Do-jin had stepped on was launched toward the ground at tremendous speed like an artillery shell, and from that recoil, Do-jin’s body flew strongly in the opposite direction.

 

 

 

Thud─.

 

 

 

After the impact sound, with rolling noises, Do-jin and Ella rolled frantically several times on the sand field before making a soft landing on the ground.

 

 

 

Ella, sprawled on the ground, suddenly raised her upper body and spat transparent vomit onto the sand.

 

 

 

“Kwaaeng.”

 

 

 

Do-jin lay there, watching them with a sidelong glance.

 

 

 

‘Those guys only eat oxygen, so does that mean it’s spitting out oxygen?’

 

 

 

Having such random thoughts, he looked up at the high sky.

 

A purple beam of light faintly streaking across the blue sky.

 

 

 

Looking at the Femoral Vein visible in the distant heights, he shook his head.

 

 

 

‘I fell from there but somehow managed to survive.’

 

 

 

Do-jin struggled to get up.

 

There wasn’t a single part of his body that didn’t ache.

 

 

 

“Phew. Where exactly is this place? Narrator.”

 

– This is the Liver region.

 

 

 

Hearing the Narrator’s explanation, Do-jin looked around.

 

Did he need any further explanation?

 

 

 

Liver. In other words, the liver.

 

 

 

“So that’s why it was so hot.”

 

 

 

Looking around, all he could see was sand everywhere.

 

 

 

Originally, among the organs in the human body, the brain is known to consume the most energy, but in fact, the liver consumes the most energy.

 

 

 

So it was natural that its temperature was much higher than other organs.

 

 

 

Having expelled all the oxygen, Ella got up from the sand field with tears welling up in her eyes.

 

 

 

“Sob, I lost my brooch and my oxygen too.”

 

 

 

Hearing Ella’s words, Do-jin looked at the sword he was still gripping in one hand.

 

 

 

“Come to think of it, why did the sword and gems suddenly combine? Do you know, Narrator?”

 

– That’s information I don’t know either.

 

 

 

At the base of the jet-black blade, a brilliantly shining blue gem was embedded as if it had always belonged there, and the sword’s condition, which had cracks here and there, was now perfect like new.

 

 

 

‘No, it’s in much better condition than when I first got it. It seems sharper and sturdier.’

 

 

 

When you gain something, you lose something else.

 

 

 

‘It’s a shame to lose the motorcycle. Level 3 White Blood Army doesn’t appear easily.’

 

 

 

It was a means of transportation he had struggled to obtain from a Level 3 White Blood Army that had chased him when his wanted level was at its peak.

 

 

 

“Still, reaching all the way to the liver is good enough. It took 6 years to get from the sole of the foot to the thigh.”

 

 

 

What’s the point of being upset about what’s already lost?

 

Thanks to that, he saved his life and finally reached the torso.

 

 

 

And although the reason for combining with the gems was still a mystery, he had somehow obtained a stronger sword.

 

 

 

“Ella. When I get the chance, I’ll get you a new brooch.”

 

“Really? Promise! Mister. But what’s that?”

 

 

 

As Ella pointed behind them, Do-jin turned around.

 

 

 

In the distance, he could see black dots flying through the sky, flapping their wings.

 

 

 

“Those are birds.”

 

“Birds? What are those?”

 

“Birds are animals with wings…”

 

 

 

Wait, in the past 6 years inside the body, had he ever seen animals, let alone birds?

 

 

 

Do-jin turned around again.

 

 

 

The birds, which had somehow increased in number, were getting quite close.

 

 

 

“…Hm?”

 

 

 

The flapping sound seemed to reach all the way here.

 

The birds gradually approaching.

 

 

 

“…They’re not birds?”

 

 

 

Screech─!

 

 

 

They definitely made bird-like sounds, but they were somewhat large.

 

 

 

“Pretty big?”

 

 

 

Screech─.

 

Screeech─.

 

 

 

The flying creatures approaching with gleaming eyes toward Do-jin and Ella were not birds.

 

Grayish-white skin and pointed beaks. Their wings had feathers sparsely scattered, making them ambiguous to call bat-like membranes.

 

 

 

‘How should I put it. They look like giant chickens with half their feathers plucked.’

 

 

 

Do-jin found an appropriate word to describe those creatures.

 

 

 

“…Pterodactyls?”

 

 

 

My Younger Sibling, Why Are You Raising Pterodactyls in Your Liver?

 

 

 

 

 

The sudden appearance of pterodactyls made the Netflix users who were watching burst into laughter.

 

 

 

– Suddenly, the atmosphere turns pterodactyl

 

└ lol what even is this drama

 

└ It’s been fun so far, but if they can’t wrap up the story later, people will say it went off the rails, right?

 

└ Looking at how all the movies Ryu Yeon-woo has made so far were huge hits, he seems to have a good eye for scenarios, so he’ll probably collect all the plot threads later

 

 

 

– I’m a practicing doctor. I suspect the pterodactyls are viruses.

 

└ You’ve been posting constantly since earlier, are you really a doctor?

 

 

 

***

 

 

 

The creatures that had approached close range all began descending at once.

 

The clear sky, where you could see the purple Femoral Vein passing through outer space in the distance, was now completely covered in black by those things.

 

 

 

“···Ella.”

 

“Yes?”

 

“I think we need to run for now.”

 

 

 

Do-jin grabbed the back of Ella’s neck and pushed her forward.

 

 

 

“Run!”

 

 

 

Do-jin and Ella began frantically running across the Desert.

 

 

 

Shwaek─.

 

 

 

From the sky came the sound of those creatures cutting through the air, and they dove down with gleaming eyes like seagulls targeting shrimp crackers.

 

 

 

The problem was that the shrimp crackers were Do-jin and Ella.

 

 

 

Do-jin raised his Sword and swung it with all his might toward the sky.

 

 

 

Kriririk─.

 

 

 

With a powerful Sword Wind, the creatures that had descended close were pushed back, and perhaps judging that they weren’t easy prey to devour, they raised their altitude again and began circling above Do-jin and Ella.

 

 

 

“Damn it, we’re in the middle of the Desert.”

 

 

 

With those annoying things following them, he was at a loss for where to go.

 

 

 

Just then, the Desert floor next to Do-jin and Ella, which had been covered with sand, began vibrating, and something suddenly popped up from the sandy ground.

 

 

 

Looking closely, it was a wooden door that opened from the floor, shaped like a manhole cover.

 

And through that open hole, the Head of a man in Red Clothes suddenly emerged.

 

 

 

It was Red Blood Cell.

 

 

 

“Come in this way! Quickly!”

 

 

 

Seeing Red Blood Cell urgently gesturing toward Ella and Do-jin, Do-jin pushed Ella.

 

 

 

“Let’s quickly get in there.”

 

 

 

He didn’t know what was down there, but to begin with, there weren’t many things in this world that could put Do-jin in danger.

 

 

 

Unless there were White Blood Army of level 4 or higher.

 

 

 

And as Do-jin and Ella jumped into the Wooden Manhole that had opened in the middle of the Desert, the Screen went black.
