Episode 147. 「White Blood」 (7)

 

Yeon-woo finished his conversation with Seo Ji-eun and checked the message from Han Hae-woon.

 

 

 

– Han Hae-woon: Your prediction was correct, Team Leader. There were companies that aggressively purchased LN Entertainment’s stocks recently.

 

 

 

It seemed that planting Jeon Ki-hoon to sabotage 「White Blood」’s success was indeed groundwork for swallowing up LN Enter.

 

 

 

When Yeon-woo looked through the list Han Hae-woon sent and the data on those companies, they were mainly using investment companies with unclear funding sources for their attacks.

 

 

 

The amount of stocks they had gradually accumulated by riding on the increased trading volume caused by the positive news from Yeon-woo’s activities was considerable.

 

 

 

“Hmm, in times like this, the best defense is a preemptive strike.”

 

 

 

No matter what moves they made, they couldn’t break the control of CEO Kim Ju-seong, who held the majority of the stocks.

 

 

 

If the show had failed, given the volatile nature of entertainment stocks that fluctuate severely based on the success of a single project, the stock price would have plummeted and many shareholders might have questioned CEO Kim Ju-seong’s management abilities, but…

 

 

 

“Then I just need to raise the company’s stock price even higher.”

 

 

 

For that, 「White Blood」 absolutely had to succeed.

 

 

 

This episode was where all four main and supporting characters gathered, and the worldview and scale expanded as it entered the main content.

 

Yeon-woo put down his smartphone and played the video again for monitoring.

 

 

 

***

 

 

 

The trading city of Trachea was incredibly vast.

 

 

 

Akenaton was asking around about the whereabouts of the Red Blood Cell King from the Liver Region while also searching for a small spaceship to enter Cardiac.

 

 

 

Meanwhile, Do-jin and Ella came out to shop near their accommodation.

 

Of course, it wasn’t for leisurely sightseeing, but to buy Do-jin a new shirt since his was tattered, and to get Ella a brooch while they were at it.

 

 

 

Since they had received plenty of oxygen from Akenaton, they entered a clothing store, but Do-jin was confused when he tried on clothes.

 

 

 

“…Why is this changing color?”

 

“Of course it changes! Every cell is born with its own unique color.”

 

 

 

Seeing Do-jin’s confusion, Ella got excited since she finally knew something and puffed out her chest arrogantly.

 

 

 

“Don’t you even know that, mister? Hmph.”

 

 

 

Regardless of Ella’s attitude, Do-jin fell into thought.

 

 

 

He had entered the clothing store thinking that wearing red robes like the red blood cells might reduce the chance of being discovered by the White Blood Army, so he looked at red clothes first, but as soon as Do-jin put them on, the clothes turned black.

 

 

 

‘So that’s why all red blood cells wore red, and Akenaton revered me as a god simply because I wore black clothes.’

 

 

 

Red blood cells didn’t choose to wear red clothes; whatever they wore turned red.

 

 

 

While it was disappointing that he couldn’t hide among the red blood cells, wherever he hid, he would inevitably draw aggro when trying to move up.

 

 

 

“Ella. Did you pick a brooch?”

 

“Yes. I’m torn between this one and this one!”

 

 

 

Ella was holding a brooch with a green gem in a round socket in one hand and a diamond-shaped brooch with a white gem in the other, deliberating.

 

 

 

“…Hmm? Could it be?”

 

 

 

He carefully brought his black sword close to the brooch with the white gem, but as expected, there was no reaction.

 

 

 

“Well, something that’s supposed to be at the bottom of the sea wouldn’t be lying around in a place like this. Ella, I’ll buy you both.”

 

“Really?!”

 

 

 

Do-jin shrugged as if it didn’t matter and jingled the pouch Akenaton had given him.

 

 

 

“It’s not my money anyway, so what does it matter.”

 

 

 

So Do-jin changed into new clothes for the first time in six years, and Ella left the store excitedly holding brooches in both hands.

 

 

 

On their way back to the accommodation, they happened to meet Akenaton who was also returning.

 

 

 

“Your outfit has changed.”

 

“Ah, it was too tattered. Did you have any success?”

 

“Yes. It’s confirmed that our kingdom’s king also entered Cardiac, but there are no records after that.”

 

 

 

Do-jin tilted his head.

 

 

 

“That’s strange. Do kings normally stay away from their posts for this long?”

 

“Usually not. The Red Blood King meetings held in Cardiac every ten years end quickly.”

 

“Red Blood King meetings? Is there by any chance a Red Blood Cell King named Cardiac among the kings you know?”

 

“Hmm, that’s the first I’ve heard of it. A name like Cardiac.”

 

 

 

Do-jin nodded and gestured for him to continue.

 

Then Akenaton spoke again.

 

 

 

“I thought he couldn’t return because there was no way back after I became unable to use the Hepatic Vein, but it’s definitely strange that he still hasn’t returned since going to Cardiac.”

 

“We’ll have to investigate that while we’re going to Cardiac. What about the ship?”

 

“Yes. I’ve secured that too. It’s a small vessel with a capacity of four people.”

 

 

 

It would have been a disaster if he really hadn’t brought them along.

 

Akenaton was very efficient at handling tasks.

 

 

 

“Good. You’ve worked hard. Let’s go inside and rest for now.”

 

 

 

 

 

Meanwhile, at that moment.

 

 

 

Dipangdal, who had been working in passenger transport, parked his car on the shoulder and stared blankly at the sky, thinking about the foreign prince and his companions he had picked up that morning.

 

 

 

“Love…”

 

 

 

As he shifted his gaze to look at the young woman in the photograph, an emotion he had never felt before in his life welled up inside him.

 

This feeling was so new that he didn’t even know what to call it.

 

 

 

His friend Emilin in the photograph had grown up with him since childhood, and they had never been apart for even a moment.

 

 

 

Six years ago, due to a sudden conscription, Emilin had to leave for the upper world, forcing them to separate, but since such things were common in the life of red blood cells, he had tried hard to forget.

 

 

 

“Haah…”

 

 

 

He let out a deep sigh and tried to control his emotions, but something warm dripped onto his hand that lay limply on his thigh.

 

 

 

“Hm?”

 

 

 

Looking at his face in the rearview mirror, he saw that tears were flowing from his eyes.

 

 

 

– Love is wanting to see someone, missing them terribly when you can’t see them, and wanting to give to that person even if it means sacrificing what’s yours.

 

 

 

The words spoken by the guest in black clothes who had ridden with the foreign prince wouldn’t leave his mind.

 

His heart was pounding as if he had caught some kind of illness.

 

A tingling sensation started from his fingertips and spread throughout his entire body, making it unbearable.

 

 

 

He missed Emilin so much and longed for her.

 

If he could see her again, he felt like he could sacrifice his current life.

 

 

 

When his thoughts reached that point, the flowing tears stopped and Dipangdal’s eyes hardened with determination.

 

He turned the car toward the place where he had dropped off that guest and stepped on the accelerator.

 

 

 

***

 

 

 

Meanwhile, Do-jin, who had entered the dormitory to rest, sensed something strange.

 

 

 

“Narrator. Check if any White Blood Army is approaching the area.”

 

 

 

His detection ability, which had naturally developed from being chased every day for six years, reacted like a ghost whenever those guys approached.

 

 

 

– The White Blood Army is approaching. Based on their route, they will arrive at the building where Do-jin is located soon.

 

“…As expected. What level?”

 

– The city is large and there’s a lot of signal interference. I couldn’t detect that much.

 

 

 

He shook awake Akenaton, who had fallen asleep, probably tired from walking around all day.

 

 

 

“Akenaton, wake up. We need to leave.”

 

“…Ugh, yes? Already? It’s still evening though.”

 

“The White Blood Army is approaching. Their purpose is to eliminate me.”

 

 

 

Recognizing the seriousness in Do-jin’s words, Akenaton’s expression hardened.

 

 

 

“…I’ll prepare immediately.”

 

 

 

Akenaton took out a crystal ball and cards from his chest and scattered them in the air.

 

 

 

“First, I’ll hide our location temporarily so the White Blood Army can’t immediately recognize us.”

 

 

 

As Akenaton chanted a spell with complex hand gestures, a green barrier surrounded them on all sides, and they packed their luggage in the meantime.

 

 

 

“Get Ella.”

 

“Yes.”

 

 

 

Akenaton went out to the hallway to call Ella from the next room, but the door was locked and there was no sign of anyone inside.

 

 

 

Akenaton came back through the door, looking flustered.

 

 

 

“…I think she’s asleep?”

 

“Can’t be helped.”

 

 

 

Seeing that the White Blood Army was heading straight for this building, there was a high possibility they had obtained all the information.

 

 

 

If they left Ella behind, she would be captured and there was no telling what would happen to her.

 

 

 

Do-jin punched the wall toward Ella’s room with all his strength.

 

 

 

Crash─.

 

 

 

The wall collapsed enough for a person to pass through, and Ella, startled by the loud noise, opened her eyes wide and sat up in bed.

 

 

 

“Huh, mister?”

 

“Get up quickly. We need to leave right now.”

 

“What are you going to do about breaking someone else’s house!”

 

“If we don’t leave immediately, this entire building will be destroyed.”

 

 

 

 

 

Meanwhile, on the 1st floor lobby, White Blood Army members entered and looked around before coming to the counter.

 

 

 

– We are searching for this individual. Cooperate with the investigation immediately and guide us to where this person is.

 

 

 

Hearing the mechanical voice of the White Blood Army member who was giving orders while displaying a hologram, the staff at the counter frowned.

 

 

 

“This is the trade city Trachea. It’s not a place ruled by the White Blood Army. We cannot provide guests’ personal information.”

 

 

 

Then the White Blood Army member pulled out a laser gun from his chest and aimed it at the staff member’s forehead.

 

 

 

– Non-cooperation will result in immediate execution.

 

 

 

Then the bellboy who had been watching them pulled out a laser gun from inside his bellboy jacket and turned the muzzle toward the White Blood Army member.

 

 

 

“I’ve been hearing from guests from the lower regions lately that the White Blood Army’s tyranny has been extreme, but you’ve completely lost your minds. We just told you that Trachea is not your territory.”

 

 

 

The bellboy had a face that was the complete opposite of the kind smile he had worn when receiving Do-jin and his party’s luggage.

 

 

 

At that moment, a staff member at the counter pulled out a large railgun and aimed it at the white blood soldiers as armed staff poured out from all directions.

 

 

 

“Our hotel has excellent security since we serve first-class customers.”

 

 

 

 

 

And Han So-hyeon, who was watching this scene with her mother, jumped up and down.

 

 

 

“Ahhh! What do I do! I appeared on screen!”

 

“This girl’s been an actress for several years and she’s still making such a fuss.”

 

“But I’ve never done this kind of filming before…”

 

 

 

Han So-hyeon covered her eyes with both hands and slightly spread her fingers to peek at the screen through the gaps.

 

 

 

-This is the trading city Trachea. A place ruled by the white blood army…

 

-Our hotel serves first-class customers so…

 

 

 

Her face turned red as she listened to the dialogue flowing out.

 

 

 

“Ugh… I look stupid but cool.”

 

 

 

***

 

 

 

Yeon-woo, who was sitting on the sofa watching the same scene, also chuckled.

 

 

 

“Both of them really enjoyed filming that scene.”

 

 

 

He had worked with Son Jin-wook as a cameo during the filming of 「Stars Beyond the Stream」, and appeared as co-leads with Han So-hyeon in 「Master Plan」.

 

 

 

But since there hadn’t been any opportunity for all three to appear in the same frame since their debut work, they both had fun filming, saying it brought back old memories.

 

 

 

“It’s already been 3 years since debut.”

 

 

 

Thinking about his debut days naturally led his thoughts to Teacher Jeong Cheol-min.

 

 

 

He had only taken on roles that were too small compared to his acting ability, so he couldn’t spread his wings.

 

Even in the recent 「Sketch」, he only had a brief appearance.

 

 

 

Now it was time for him to shine as Dipangdal.

 

 

 

On screen, Han So-hyeon and Son Jin-wook were confronting the white blood army in the lobby, when the balcony above burst open and Do-jin jumped down holding Ella and Akenaton in both hands.

 

 

 

“What? They’re all just level 1s.”

 

 

 

Then he set the two down on the ground and Do-jin, moving fast enough to create afterimages, began slashing through the white blood soldiers in the lobby with his sword.

 

 

 

Crack─.

 

Sizzle─.

 

Crack─.

 

Sizzle─.

 

 

 

Like lightning striking, blue currents spread in all directions every time Do-jin moved.

 

Of course, it wasn’t Do-jin emitting them, but the currents released when the white blood soldiers he cut down with his sword exploded.

 

 

 

In the blink of an eye, he had slaughtered all the white blood soldiers in the lobby.

 

 

 

Do-jin approached the staff member who was standing dazed, still holding the railgun, shocked by that overwhelming divine power.

 

 

 

“Thanks for buying us time. I’ll pay for the damaged facilities with this.”

 

 

 

The staff member absentmindedly received the pouch full of oxygen orbs that Do-jin held out.

 

 

 

“Well then, we should go before this place becomes even more of a mess.”

 

 

 

When Do-jin turned around, gestured, and ran, Akenaton and Ella ran after him.

 

 

 

“W-wait a minute! This isn’t enough! Our hotel facilities are expensive!”

 

 

 

The hotel staff called out desperately, but the three people were already running far away.

 

 

 

Meanwhile, when the advance team was destroyed, the white blood army raised the wanted level and began summoning higher-level white blood soldiers.

 

 

 

Whirrrr─.

 

 

 

A somehow familiar engine sound could be heard in the distance.

 

 

 

“Hmm? They sent level 3 guys right away.”

 

 

 

These were the ones riding the magnetic levitation motorcycles that Do-jin had captured before arriving at the Thigh.

 

 

 

However, now his mobility was reduced and he had Akenaton and Ella with him, so they weren’t welcome.

 

 

 

They didn’t have strong attack power, but they were agile and once they started hit and run tactics, shaking them off would be quite annoying.

 

 

 

“Mister, where are we going?”

 

“Well, Akenaton, where’s the place with the boat you prepared?”

 

“Um, it’s quite far from here. There wasn’t an airfield nearby.”

 

 

 

That’s when it happened.

 

 

 

Screech─.

 

 

 

A magnetic levitation taxi floating in the air drifted precariously with its bottom scraping the ground as it approached Do-jin.

 

 

 

Click─.

 

 

 

And the taxi door opened.

 

It was Dipangdal.

 

 

 

“Customer! I’m certain it must be love!”

 

“······.”

 

 

 

Do-jin’s face contorted at Dipangdal’s sudden words.

 

 

 

“···What the hell are you suddenly talking about.”
