Episode 142. 「White Blood」 (3)
Choi Ji-ah actually had no interest in 「White Blood」.
She hadn’t even watched fantasy genre movies that everyone else had seen, like 「The Dwarf and the Ring」 or 「Magic Broomstick」, let alone read novels in that genre.
Her favorite genre was romantic comedy, and she was actually more interested in the popular reality dating shows featuring ordinary people than dramas.
“When the heck is he going to appear?”
Honestly, there was only one reason she clicked on 「White Blood」.
The fact that Dong-ha from XYZS, Ji-ah’s favorite idol, was appearing in it.
While watching the spectacular action scenes and high-quality CG in episode 1, she did feel slightly interested, but that was all.
She was told he would appear as a supporting character with significant screen time, but when Dong-ha didn’t appear until the end of episode 1, she felt slightly annoyed. However, thinking the drama itself was well-made, she clicked on episode 2.
Then, watching the fantastic view of the Universe from the beginning and the thrilling action that followed, she enjoyed the visual feast, and gradually opened her heart to the exciting story that continued afterward.
“What? What’s going to happen in the Desert? Is there another shortcut going up?”
Before she knew it, the thought of needing to see Dong-ha had been forgotten, and she began to gradually fall for the drama itself.
Ji-ah’s finger clicked on episode 3 as if enchanted.
– Episode 3: This is the latest episode currently available.
A total 4-week launch schedule with three episodes released each week.
Episode 3 began playing as Netflix’s logo appeared on the monitor.
A torch blazed up in the center of the pitch-black screen, gradually brightening the surroundings and revealing three figures.
Do-jin and Ella.
And a young male Red Blood Cell holding the torch.
“From what I can see, you don’t seem to be from Norengel, so what were you planning to do in the middle of that dangerous Desert?”
Do-jin didn’t know what Norengel was, but he first expressed his gratitude to the Red Blood Cell who had helped them.
“We fell from the Femoral Vein while heading to Cardiac. Thank you for helping us.”
“Thank you!”
When Do-jin greeted him, Ella followed suit from beside him.
“To Cardiac? Then you must be from a foreign land. You’re the first people from outside since this trouble began.”
Do-jin tilted his head at the Red Blood Cell man’s words.
Since Red Blood Cells are blood, they should naturally travel between all organs to deliver Oxygen evenly to body cells.
But he said people from foreign lands were a first.
“Then usually, outside the Liver Region…”
In the middle of Do-jin’s sentence, a crackling sound was heard along with a radio transmission.
Crackle─.
– Border guard. Report the situation.
“Yes. I couldn’t find the meteor that fell in the Desert, but I found two foreigners wandering in the Desert.”
Though dressed like a medieval soldier, he incongruously pulled out a radio from his waist and answered.
The meteor probably referred to the Hoverbike that carried Do-jin and Ella.
In fact, finding Do-jin and Ella was the same as finding the meteor, but the border guard in front of them seemed unable to understand Do-jin’s words about falling from the Femoral Vein while heading to Cardiac.
‘Well, I guess he wouldn’t think anyone could survive falling from that Universe.’
Then the radio crackled again.
– The prince has ordered that those two people are honored guests and should be escorted respectfully.
“Huh. The prince said that? Understood!”
The border guard looked startled and gazed at Do-jin and Ella.
“So you were the prince’s guests. I apologize for not recognizing you. Please come this way.”
As the politely greeting border guard took the lead, Do-jin and Ella looked at each other, shrugged their shoulders, and followed him.
Having just reached the Torso for the first time, let alone the Liver, there was no way Do-jin could know any prince.
In fact, he didn’t even know if princes existed in the first place.
‘Is there a prince among the Red Blood Cells too? Then that means there’s also a Red Blood Cell king.’
Before meeting Ella, he had perceived Red Blood Cells as merely natives who would run away at just a glance, so he hadn’t been particularly interested in them.
All the Red Blood Cells Do-jin had encountered were close to primitives who ran around in groups wrapped in red rags.
Only after entering the Thigh (Femoral) region where he met Ella did he learn that Red Blood Cells also had a civilization at the level of medieval villages.
Do-jin whispered to Ella as he followed the border guard walking ahead.
“Ella. Have you ever heard about your people’s king or prince?”
“No! What’s that?”
Do-jin looked ahead again.
It seemed like not all Red Blood Cells belonged to the same group.
Well, we did cross the universe to come to another planet in the first place.
‘These guys’ world is quite complex too.’
Throughout his medical career, whenever he entered other cancer patients’ bodies for treatment, the white blood cell army would always come down personally to escort Do-jin as soon as he used his ability.
The administrators of the white blood cell army mainly traveled in disc-shaped spacecraft reminiscent of UFOs.
Though the shapes varied slightly in each patient’s world, they rode high-tech vehicles and moved directly to the problematic areas, so there was no need to think about other cells’ culture or ecology.
But when he entered his younger sibling’s body this time, it was different.
The worlds of cancer patients and leukemia patients were never the same.
‘All that was left was a single sword lying before me, and far from coming to escort me, the White Blood Army began pursuing me, seeking my life.’
After walking for a while through the underground tunnels connected beneath the desert while lost in various thoughts, a large cavern came into view with a castle gate positioned at its center.
Sizzle─.
“Requesting gate 4 opening in the basement.”
When the guard sent a radio message, the massive gate carved from a giant log opened smoothly.
“Wow! Mister, the door opened automatically!”
But Do-jin found it just as fascinating.
‘The gate is made of logs, but the opening mechanism is automatic…’
It was already unbalanced from the medieval soldier outfit while pulling out a radio, but seeing the mixed eras become more apparent was both strange and fascinating.
‘Well, there was an orbital elevator in the thigh where Ella was too.’
According to Do-jin’s observations, it was a product of transcendent civilization that was absolutely impossible to achieve with the average civilization level of that era.
It was even at a level unimaginable on Earth in the original world.
“You went to space on the Femoral Vein, but you find a mere automatic door more fascinating?”
“You went to space on the Femoral Vein and you find automatic doors more fascinating?”
“Huh? Femoral Vein is managed by the White Blood Cells though.”
The red blood cells seemed to take for granted the advanced civilization of the white blood cells, such as their hoverbikes and androids.
‘Was it programmed that way from the beginning?’
After walking along deep in thought while following the guard, the guide was replaced by another one midway, and they stopped in front of a door adorned with luxurious decorations.
“Please go in. The prince is waiting for you.”
Seeing this, Do-jin nodded.
“Let’s see this prince who calls me a guest.”
Creak─.
As the doors opened to both sides and they entered, a younger man than expected stood wearing a red uniform.
“You have arrived. Indeed, you look exactly as mentioned in the prophecy. I have been waiting. I am Prince Akenaton of Deyaz.”
Seeing the man bow his head and introduce himself as Akenaton, Do-jin tilted his head.
“I am Jeong Do-jin. What’s this about a prophecy?”
“Do-jin.”
“I am Jeong Do-jin. What do you mean by prophecy?”
“I’ll explain everything gradually. First, it’s nice to meet you, Mr. Jung Douji.”
“Dojin.”
“Yes. It’s Douji.”
“It’s Do-jin.”
Ella, who was standing nearby, also joined in and greeted them.
Do-u-jin.
“I told you, it’s Dojin.”
“Exactly. Uncle Douji.”
No, before meeting Ella, the only conversation partner he had was the narrator, so it was natural.
Meanwhile, when Dong-ha, who played Akenaton, appeared on screen, Choi Ji-ah slapped her knee and made a fuss.
“This is crazy! What’s with that red uniform! Let me take some screenshots first!”
She paused the screen and began capturing well-shot images of Dong-ha by advancing frame by frame.
However, since it was a full shot, Ryu Yeon-woo inevitably appeared on the opposite side while capturing.
Normally, she would have mercilessly cropped out anyone other than Dong-ha, but Choi Ji-ah found herself hesitating with her mouse cursor.
‘…What? Have I been swayed without realizing it?’
Of course, she knew that movies and dramas featuring Ryu Yeon-woo had been successful.
However, Choi Ji-ah, who rarely went to theaters or watched dramas, had never seen any of Ryu Yeon-woo’s works.
But in just 3 episodes, Jeong Do-jin played by Ryu Yeon-woo had burrowed into Choi Ji-ah’s heart.
“…Originally, the heart has multiple rooms. This is definitely not betraying Dong-ha.”
However, Choi Ji-ah, who rarely went to the theater and seldom watched dramas, had never seen any of Ryu Yeon-woo’s works.
However, in just 3 episodes, Jung Do-jin, played by Ryu Yeon-woo, had already stirred up and entered Choi Ji-ah’s heart.
“···The heart originally has many rooms. This is absolutely not a betrayal of Dongha.”
When Choi Ji-ah pressed the spacebar, Do-jin, who occupied one section of her room in the resumed screen, opened his mouth.
“The name issue is settled. What’s this about prophecy you mentioned?”
At Do-jin’s words, Akenaton smiled gently and took out a crystal ball and several cards from the drawer.
“I am a prince, but at the same time, I am also a priest of this country.”
“Hmm… You don’t look like one. Were you a fortune teller?”
“Fortune tell…”
At Do-jin’s words, Akenaton’s eyes narrowed into a smile, but he clamped his mouth shut.
Somewhat flustered by the unpleasant remark, Akenaton cleared his throat and spoke again.
“Ahem. I’m different from fortune tellers. I can directly hear Divine Revelation.”
“God?”
The Creator who made this world was probably Do-jin’s younger sister.
After all, everything in existence was ultimately created when his younger sister was born.
So he’s saying he can hear the voice of his younger sister who’s sleeping outside right now?
Do-jin looked at Akenaton with incredulous eyes.
To prove his words, Akenaton floated the crystal ball in the air and picked up several cards to spread them out.
“It would be easier to have a conversation if you see it directly.”
When Akenaton took a stance as if exerting some power, the crystal ball gradually began to glow, and ancient script-like characters shimmered and emerged above it.
“God’s words were written like this. Please read them directly.”
“…”
There was no way Do-jin could read the language of this world.
“Ellaya. Read it. You know the Red Blood Cells’ writing, right?”
“Writing? What’s that?”
“…What can you even do?”
“I’m good at collecting oxygen! I’m also good at carrying carbon dioxide.”
Listening to their conversation, Akenaton pressed his forehead and shook his head.
“This revelation says ‘Help the black god who descended from the sky.'”
At Akenaton’s words, Do-jin looked over his own attire.
Black clothing from head to toe tips.
Even the scabbard and blade of the sword he wore were black.
“So you’re supposed to help me?”
“Yes. That’s correct. I am always a servant who serves God’s will as the highest priority.”
Do-jin scratched his chin and nodded.
“That works out well. I need to go up to the upper world right now.”
“By upper world, you mean?”
Do-jin pointed at the ceiling with his finger and said.
“Brain.”
“…Hmm.”
At Do-jin’s words, Akenaton let out a contemplative sound.
“There are some problems with leaving the Liver.”
“Problems?”
“Usually we trade or travel to other regions through the Hepatic vein.”
“You mean the Hepatic vein. But?”
Akenaton, who had been shaking his head left and right as if troubled, spoke again.
“Right now the sky has been taken over by some guys, and we haven’t been able to operate the Hepatic vein for 6 years already. For some reason, we can’t contact the White Blood Army either. So there’s a serious shortage of supplies within the kingdom too.”
The sky has been taken over.
There was only one thing that came to mind.
“Are you talking about pterodactyls?”
