Episode 143. 「White Blood」 (4)

 

「White Blood」, which began gaining popularity through the internet, was first picked up by YouTubers sensitive to trends.

 

 

 

“Ah, today wasn’t supposed to be a streaming day, but so many messages are flooding in from the community? I hastily turned on the live stream because you all wanted it.”

 

 

 

When Cineking, a YouTuber who professionally reviews movies and dramas, turned on his live stream, viewers began joining.

 

 

 

– Oh, he turned on the stream

 

– Did you watch White Blood?

 

– Please solve some White Blood mysteries for us

 

– King-ha

 

 

 

“I’m watching White Blood too, of course. But everyone, do you know what’s unique about this drama? Even after watching 2 episodes, there are only two main characters.”

 

 

 

– That’s true?

 

– Now that I think about it, only Ryu Yeon-woo and one kid appeared

 

– Jeong Do-jin and Elaim

 

– Ella is cute lol

 

 

 

“And in this episode, XYZS’s Dong-ha appears for the first time. As for his acting ability, I think we need to watch more to know… It’s been fine so far, right? If I say something wrong here, I’ll fall into the abyss.”

 

 

 

– Huh

 

– Cover his mouth

 

– Something big is coming

 

– Don’t touch Dong-ha…

 

 

 

“Anyway, I predict the role of Akenaton will probably serve as an important guide going forward. The narrator tells us in the drama, but Do-jin and Ella know too little about this world. Since I was in the middle of watching, I’ll finish watching and stream again.”

 

 

 

***

 

 

 

“What are pterosaurs? Are you perhaps referring to creatures like these?”

 

 

 

Akenaton pulled out a preserved bird specimen from under the table.

 

A pterosaur corpse the size of a palm.

 

 

 

“Ah! The gray monsters that chased us earlier!”

 

 

 

When Ella pointed at the specimen with her finger, Do-jin nodded.

 

 

 

Though the size was vastly different, it matched the appearance of the creatures that attacked Do-jin and Ella right after they fell into the desert.

 

 

 

“It seems you’ve already encountered them. But these creatures aren’t monsters. Rather, they’re indispensable workers and cleaners of the desert.”

 

 

 

Do-jin’s eyes lit up at Akenaton’s words.

 

He had been wondering since arriving in the Liver Region why his younger sibling was raising pterosaurs in the liver.

 

 

 

“What’s the identity of those creatures?”

 

“These friends are a species called Transaminase.”

 

 

 

Do-jin’s expression twisted upon hearing Akenaton’s words.

 

 

 

“…These are Transaminase?”

 

“Mister, what’s that?”

 

 

 

Do-jin answered Ella’s question as if bewildered.

 

 

 

“…Liver enzymes.”

 

“Hiiing. When I ask about one thing, the things I don’t know increase to two!”

 

 

 

Transaminase. Simply put, they’re important enzymes in the liver.

 

 

 

The liver enzymes like AST, ALT, LDH that are measured when you go to the hospital for a ‘liver function test’.

 

 

 

“Then there are three types of them, aren’t there?”

 

 

 

At Do-jin’s question, Akenaton nodded with a slightly surprised face.

 

 

 

“The Black God seems to know well about them. Though they look similar on the outside, they’re divided into three groups. The friends causing problems now are a tribe called Alanine.”

 

 

 

After sighing, Akenaton continued speaking.

 

 

 

“At some point, their numbers began increasing and they went berserk, starting to attack everyone going in and out.”

 

 

 

Alanine aminotransferase (ALanine Transaminase) ALT.

 

 

 

‘Then the orbital elevator going upward. In other words, it’s not those creatures blocking the vein.’

 

 

 

Rather, the causal relationship was reversed.

 

 

 

There was another cause that made their numbers increase.

 

It was reasonable to see that ALT levels increased because the passages to and from the liver were blocked.

 

 

 

ALT surges when blood flow to the liver decreases or when exposed to drugs with liver toxicity.

 

 

 

First, it was urgent to check what problem had occurred in the passages going in and out of the liver.

 

 

 

“Akenaton. Guide me to the hepatic vein connected to the inferior vena cava.”

 

“Pardon? I don’t understand what you mean.”

 

 

 

Do-jin sighed and shook his head.

 

 

 

“The hepatic vein connected to the inferior vena cava.”

 

 

 

Upon hearing Do-jin’s words, Akenaton brightened and nodded.

 

 

 

“That was the favor I wanted to ask of you. It was an oracle received after years of prayers to solve this kingdom’s food shortage and supply shortage.”

 

 

 

「Help the Black God who descended from the sky」

 

 

 

Looking at the letters floating in the crystal ball, Akenaton politely gestured toward Do-jin with his hand.

 

 

 

“Please go ahead. I’ll prepare it right away.”

 

 

 

Akenaton urgently sent a radio message somewhere and opened the door to the Audience Chamber.

 

 

 

“Prepare the Short-range Warp!”

 

“Yes!”

 

Following Akhenaton into the massive hall amidst the bustling red blood cells, a human-sized crystal at the center was spinning furiously.

 

“Ready!”

 

When the red blood cell manipulating something in front of it sent a signal, Akhenaten nodded and channeled blue light from his hands into the crystal.

 

“···So you weren’t just a simple fortune teller, but a mage.”

 

The crystal began to glow and rotate as it absorbed the blue light, and before long it transformed into a round, disc-shaped mirror.

 

“I’ll go in first and secure a safe area! Please follow me in!”

 

When Akhenaten gestured, the robust red blood cells holding spears took the lead and passed through the disc mirror, and Akhenaten followed them in.

 

“Yes!”

 

 

 

As they advanced toward the Mirror, the world instantly reversed and a completely different landscape appeared.

 

 

 

In the middle of the Desert, a massive Rocky Mountain burned completely black appeared, with Akenaton spreading both arms toward the Sky.

 

 

 

“I’ve made it so those creatures can’t see just this area! If you leave this zone, they’ll immediately notice and start attacking!”

 

 

 

When Do-jin looked up at the Sky, indeed a transparent net like a summer mosquito net or giant tent was covering Do-jin, Ella, and the Red Blood Cell soldiers with Spears.

 

 

 

And above that, a black Sky was covering everything.

 

And above it all, a pitch-black sky stretched overhead.

 

No, looking closer, it wasn’t the sky at all—they were all pterodactyls.

 

Dojin momentarily mistook it for nighttime because the clouds were covering the sky so densely.

 

“…There’s disgustingly many of them.”

 

Meanwhile, Yeonwoo, who was monitoring this scene, recalled the time when it was filmed.

 

Honestly, I could tolerate the other scenes well enough, but this was the scene where I felt the most shame while filming.

 

‘Wearing skin-tight tights and running around an empty set, swinging a sword at thin air…’

 

The problem was that when filming this part, there was a risk of safety accidents due to the intense movements, so outside people came to observe.

 

I remembered the private medical team that had been whispering and tilting their heads in confusion.

 

“Hmm, I do hope they get to see the edited scenes as well.”

 

I wanted to explain that I wasn’t a strange person.

 

In any case, this was also Yeonwoo’s first time seeing the edited footage, so he focused on the screen again.

 

Akhenaten had brought them to the rocky mountain with the Hepatic Vein to help the Black God as the oracle had commanded, but he had no idea how to deal with those enormous Alanines.

 

– I’ve never seen Alanine fight anything, but about a hundred of them would probably be equal to a Level 1 White Blood Army.

 

 

 

Do-jin drew the Sword from his waist.

 

 

 

“Ellaya. Stay here.”

 

“Ella. Stay here.”

 

“Yes!”

 

And Dojin began walking toward the outside of Akhenaton’s barrier.

 

The red blood cell holding a spear, who had been watching the scene, urgently reached out his hand.

 

“If, if you go outside like that!”

 

The moment Dojin left Akhenaten’s territory, the black sky rippled.

 

Crack crack crack─.

 

The overlapping wingbeats of countless Alanines created a sound like the air itself was being torn apart.

 

A portion of the black sky collapsed, forming a pillar like a waterspout rising from the sea, and plunged down toward Dojin.

 

A swarm of alanine molecules plummeting vertically in unison, converging into a single stream as they rush toward Dojin.

 

Dojin saw this and grinned, gripping the handle with both hands as he swung his sword upward from below with great force while simultaneously spinning his body.

 

“…Th, this is.”

 

 

 

The eyes of the Red Blood Cell soldiers watching widened as if they would pop out at any moment.

 

“…Th-this is.”

 

The red blood cell soldiers watching this had their eyes widen as if they were about to pop out of their heads.

 

It was the most unbelievable sight the red blood cell had witnessed in its entire life.

 

The soldiers look at Prince Akhenaten, wondering what this is all about.

 

However, Akhenaten was quietly gazing at the ground, constantly muttering to himself.

 

“Humble Akhenaten beholds the god. Humble Akhenaten beholds···.”

 

In the Desert, he hadn’t fought properly because Ella was there and he was worried about her getting hurt, but alone was a different story.

 

 

 

The combat androids that had chased Do-jin from the Ancient Castle were Level 4 White Blood Army.

 

 

 

According to what he heard from the Narrator, each level increase meant about ten times the combat power difference from the previous entities.

 

 

 

That meant one Level 4 White Blood Army member was equivalent to a thousand Level 1 White Blood Army members.

 

 

 

Do-jin, who had fought evenly against four Level 4 White Blood Army members even with broken Weapons, couldn’t possibly lose to Alanines that only had numbers.

 

 

 

Splitting the descending Alanine into two streams, Do-jin leaped up the Rocky Mountain at tremendous speed.

 

 

 

“There must be a cause on this Rocky Mountain! Narrator. Do you have any guesses?”

 

– No. I have no knowledge about the current anomalous phenomenon.

 

 

 

There was no choice. He had to find out by confronting it physically.

 

 

 

Kwagagagak─.

 

 

 

This time, splitting into multiple branches like the black Sky collapsing, swarms of Alanines pursued Do-jin from various directions.

 

 

 

Do-jin flew across the Rocky Mountain, pushing back the Alanines’ attacks with Sword Wind, and when that wasn’t enough, he mercilessly performed Slaughter.

 

 

 

Though he didn’t even know what he was looking for, by searching as thoroughly as possible while traversing the Rocky Mountain, he reached near the Summit that had seemed impossibly high.

 

 

 

“Phew, if I had known this would happen, I should have run straight to the Summit.”

 

 

 

Upon reaching the Summit, the cause that had driven those creatures mad came into view.

 

 

 

A Purple Gem emitting powerful aura and shining intensely in mid-air.

 

Do-jin had seen such a gem before.

 

 

 

Though the color was different, it had once been attached to Ella’s Brooch, and now a Blue Gem was embedded in Do-jin’s Sword.

 

 

 

“What exactly is this thing? Narrator.”

 

– I still don’t know. I’ll collect as much data as possible.

 

 

 

As Do-jin approached the Purple Gem, all the Alanines rushed toward him as if trying to protect it.

 

 

 

He slashed, deflected, and struck with his Sword as much as possible, but there were so many that parts of Do-jin’s Martial Outfit began to tear from their beaks.

 

 

 

“Hah!”

 

 

 

Like breaking through a fierce storm, Do-jin pushed against the swirling black waves with a Battle Cry, swinging his Sword again and moving forward.

 

 

 

He had almost reached the gem, but proportionally, the Alanines’ attacks intensified, and through his tattered Martial Outfit, the muscles of his Upper Body were completely exposed.

 

 

 

And through the gaps, small scratches began to appear.

 

 

 

 

 

And it wasn’t just Do-jin’s Martial Outfit that burst.

 

 

 

“Kheuk. This is crazy. What kind of reward is this!”

 

 

 

Yeo Nu-ji-na, the Manager of Yeon-woo’s fan cafe, felt like she might get a nosebleed from the unexpected service scene(?).

 

And Fan Cafe Woo’s was also about to burst from the posts increasing in real-time.

 

 

 

Lee Jin-a, with the nickname ‘Yeo Nu-ji-na’, was using a Dual Monitor, watching 「White Blood」 on one side and keeping an internet window open for cafe management on the other.

 

 

 

Every time she refreshed, posts and level-up requests flooded in like a burst Embankment.

 

 

 

– Anyone see ‘that scene’···?

 

– This is insane! Happy accident incoming

 

– Requesting level up!

 

– He tore it no wait it got torn

 

– [Spoiler Warning]

 

– Greeting as a new member

 

 

 

She had thought that since it was released through Netflix, not everyone would be watching at the same time, but apparently many members had started binge-watching from the initial release, as traffic suddenly began increasing from just before.

 

 

 

“What’s the spoiler warning about? I already watched it.”

 

 

 

When Yeo Nu-ji-na clicked on the post, someone had already made a Meme Image, showing Yeon-woo’s torn Martial Outfit while Acting as Jeong Do-jin in a gif file.

 

 

 

「Jeong Do-jin: I’ll go beat up the Alanines real quick!

 

But the one actually getting beaten up was me watching.」

 

 

 

Jin-a chuckled at the post and clicked back, but in that time, the post she just saw had been pushed back two pages due to the real-time increase in posts.

 

 

 

Dual monitors floating on both sides with Jin-a in the middle.

 

 

 

Should she continue watching 「White Blood」?

 

Or start managing the wildly active cafe?

 

 

 

They say life is C between B and D.

 

B(Birth), D(Death), and C(Choice).

 

 

 

Jin-a was just a fan before being a Manager.

 

There wasn’t much left of the last of the three episodes released this week.

 

 

 

“Argh! I can’t resist this.”

 

 

 

Jin-a pressed the spacebar to resume the drama.

 

 

 

 

 

***

 

 

 

Do-jin approached the gem emitting streams of purple light in his tattered state, frantically swinging his Sword with his right hand while snatching the floating gem with his left hand.

 

 

 

Then the Alanines that had been desperately rushing at him stopped as if by magic.

 

 

 

The purple gem in his hand vibrated violently and emitted heat as if telling him to let it go.

 

 

 

“Krgh!”

 

 

 

The vibration and heat were so intense that Do-jin dropped the gem.

 

 

 

The dropped gem shot purple beams of light in all directions, and the countless Alanines that had been standing still like statues began to move again.

 

 

 

Flash─.

 

 

 

At that moment, the blue gem embedded in Do-jin’s sword glowed and absorbed the energy emitted by the purple gem.

 

 

 

Click─.

 

 

 

And the purple gem naturally flew toward the sword and embedded itself below the blue gem.

 

 

 

“Phew. Is it resolved? Damn, there were too many of them so my clothes got torn and I got wounded… Hm?”

 

 

 

Do-jin tilted his head in confusion.

 

 

 

Although they weren’t serious wounds since his body was naturally strong, he had definitely been slashed all over by the Alanines’ beaks, yet all those numerous scratches had disappeared in an instant.

 

 

 

“…”

 

 

 

The countless pterodactyls staring at Do-jin with bright eyes right in front of him couldn’t be illusions.

 

No, if they were illusions, then his torn martial outfit wouldn’t make sense.

 

 

 

‘Then what changed was…’

 

 

 

He looked at the pterodactyls in front of him again.

 

 

 

“Kiirik?”

 

 

 

The pterodactyls tilted their heads like owls while looking at Do-jin, as if they didn’t even remember charging at him with murderous intent.

 

And Do-jin looked at the sword he was holding.

 

 

 

The purple gem clearly embedded in the upper part of the handle alongside the blue gem.

 

 

 

“…The blue gem strengthens the sword, and the purple gem heals me?”
