Episode 155. The End of “White Blood”
After hearing Do-jin’s words, Ella looked back and forth between Do-jin and the rock island high up in the sky.
“All the way up there?”
“Yeah. I think you can do it.”
That’s what Cardiac had said.
The higher up in the body the hematopoietic stem cells go, the endlessly stronger they become.
This place was apparently a bit higher than outside the barrier.
“Hmm! I’ll give it a try!”
Ella nodded and lifted Do-jin up with both hands like carrying a princess.
“…No, this is a bit. Wait a moment.”
Do-jin, who had suddenly been held like a baby, changed his position and stood balanced with one foot on Ella’s hand.
“…Alright. Now throw me.”
Meanwhile, all the production team and cast members watching the screen in LN Entertainment’s main conference room burst into laughter simultaneously.
“Ah, that’s funny. The editing is amazing.”
Jung Su-yeon slapped her thigh and laughed at the ridiculous pose that suddenly followed the serious scenes.
“Han Byeol, how did you lift him?”
“Oppa was hanging on wires!”
Of course, there was no way the real Han Byeol could have lifted Yeon-woo.
In the scene that followed, unlike reality, Ella threw Do-jin with all her might, and Do-jin, flying at tremendous speed, finally arrived at the brain.
Unexpectedly, there was nothing in the brain that could stop Do-jin.
It looked entirely like the interior of a futuristic space warship made of white metal with grooves carved here and there.
“Now what am I supposed to do…?”
He had made it up to the brain, but he didn’t actually know how to cure the leukemia.
Most cancer patients could be cured by simply catching and killing the problematic cancer cells.
However, the lymphocytic leukemia that his younger sibling had was a disease where blood cells transformed into cancer cells due to some abnormality and spread throughout the body via lymphocytes.
“So how am I supposed to fix that ‘unknown cause’?”
Cardiac had definitely said he was the last spark that could save this body.
And that fate would guide everything, so he shouldn’t be afraid.
Do-jin began searching the vast space thoroughly like hunting for lice.
‘There’s definitely an answer somewhere in here!’
After searching for a while, Do-jin discovered one closed door.
From what he could see while looking around, every other place in this location was accessible through open aisles, but only this place had something that could be called a door.
Around that door, there were all kinds of traces, as if someone had tried to force it open.
Burn marks from fire, scratches all over the surface from trying to carve it out with something.
Do-jin approached closer to examine those traces and touched the scratched marks with his hand.
Whirrrr─.
Then, unexpectedly, the closed door opened automatically.
“Hm?”
As he entered the room, there was a huge gray circular staircase endlessly connected upward, and in front of it, someone was lying down with their hands placed on their stomach.
They were dressed entirely in white clothes, had brown hair, and were slightly taller than Ella.
The woman with a gentle-looking face had a blue glowing device attached to her ear.
Do-jin recognized who it was at a glance.
“…You’re the Narrator.”
He approached closer and carefully shook her, but there was no movement at all.
When he put his hand near her nose, he could feel faint breathing.
Fortunately, she wasn’t dead, and seemed to be in a deep sleep.
And behind her, he could see the huge circular staircase stretching out.
The staircase that spiraled endlessly upward couldn’t be seen from below to tell where it connected.
‘This must definitely be the answer.’
Judging from the traces on the door outside, it seemed the Narrator had protected this space until the very last moment.
No, perhaps she had been here alone continuously for six years.
Do-jin approached the staircase.
As he got closer, he could see some kind of unusual gap at the starting point of the staircase.
‘The width of the gap is exactly…’
As if possessed by something, Do-jin drew his sword and thrust it into that gap.
Slide─.
Then the sword slid in naturally as if it had found its rightful place.
And what he had thought was a circular stone staircase began to emit light.
The light that seemed to devour everything annihilated the gray dust that had been covering it and began to shine even brighter.
Before he knew it, the circular stone staircase was transforming into a glowing double helix structure.
The appearance of that spiral structure was unexpectedly familiar.
It was his younger sister’s DNA.
Only then did Do-jin realize everything.
‘…So that’s why Cardiac called it destiny.’
From the beginning, it was a journey that required arriving here with both the sword and all the gems.
Do-jin, who had been chased from the ancient castle and swallowed by the dimensional rift, met Ella where he awakened.
The place where Do-jin and Ella crash-landed while riding the orbital elevator was the Kingdom of Akhenaton.
They took Dipangdal’s taxi, and afterward, while riding together in a small spacecraft, they were chased by White Blood Army fighter jets and only Do-jin fell alone.
Thanks to that, he met Cardiac and his coworkers were chased up to just before the brain faster than scheduled.
Do-jin returned to his coworkers’ side, and the macrophage appeared at exactly that moment.
Do-jin, who was consumed by the macrophage cluster, happened to fall into the lachrymal gland.
If even one of these events hadn’t occurred, arriving at this place would have been meaningless.
Because.
“The sword and gems. Those four are the base sequences of DNA.”
DNA is a structure where a total of four bases form a linear arrangement.
Adenine, Guanine, Cytosine, Thymine.
If even one of AGCT is missing, it’s not DNA.
In the end, the powerful force mentioned in the literature that the Sage spoke of was the power to heal his younger sister’s DNA itself.
***
Doctor John, who had been watching the final episode throughout lunch break, cheered in triumph.
“Yes! My prediction was right! As expected!”
And at the same time, he got goosebumps.
“The story is like silk intricately woven from the first episode to the last…”
The story forming a lattice structure was connected from one to ten, with no unnecessary parts.
The appeal of this work lay in that.
When you watch it all from beginning to end, the proper entertainment is delivered.
“And the protagonist who brings all of that to 200 percent life. Who on earth is that actor.”
John, being a movie enthusiast, had also seen “Sketch,” but he couldn’t think that the actor was the same person as the current protagonist.
There was still a bit more left in the latter part, but John paused it for a moment and opened an internet window.
The hobby he spent the most time on and John’s other profession besides being an internal medicine doctor.
John Taylor was one of the few A-grade critics on Recomendar, the world’s largest review site.
***
When Do-jin finished the treatment by inserting the black sword, there was no longer any need to use the sword.
The White Blood Army stopped their rampage and began to function properly.
Dipangdal found Emilin.
Akenaton became the king of the Liver Region, succeeding the Red Blood Cell King who had already been killed by the White Blood Army.
And Ella was given the administrator role by Cardiac, and Cardiac was freed from a life as long as eons.
“I don’t know how to do that kind of thing!”
“You must gradually adapt now. I will assist you, Mother.”
“Uncle Akenaton! Why do you keep calling me Mother!”
And the Narrator is performing her original role.
Her true identity is the Unconscious.
Originally, sleeping was her job, and awakening was rather what was wrong.
Looking at such a Narrator, Do-jin bowed his head.
“Thank you so much for being with me for 6 years, Narrator.”
Jeong Do-jin returned to reality.
And his younger sister recovered at an unbelievably fast speed, her leukemia was completely cured, and she was soon discharged.
Even the hospital was amazed, saying this couldn’t be explained by any other word than miracle.
Everything was joyful.
But as one or two days passed and several months went by, some inexplicable empty feeling only grew larger.
He missed his coworkers unbearably.
‘What a funny thing.’
The coworkers were actually just cells inside Younger Sibling’s body.
However, that long and difficult journey would be something he’d never forget until the day he died.
And then, several months after the complete recovery, one day Younger Sibling caught the flu and was bedridden.
“I told you to dry your hair before sleeping, but you just went to bed like that. That’s why Mother told you to take your vitamins every time she gave them to you! That’s how you build immunity and avoid getting sick all the time. Isn’t that right?”
Mother launched into a nagging bombardment, but Younger Sibling had already fallen asleep from the medicine and didn’t respond.
“Honestly! Ugh, it’s my fault. I spoiled you because you were my late-born child.”
“Sigh, please do.”
Do-jin fell into contemplation while looking at his sleeping Younger Sibling.
Even if he went back in, the cells Do-jin knew would have been gone long ago.
Even Cardiac, who had lived what felt like an eternity, only had a lifespan of about 120 days in real time.
The other guys would have died long ago, needless to say.
But even knowing all this, Do-jin was entering the body again with a glimmer of hope.
And the moment he closed his eyes, the conversation he had with Cardiac flashed through his mind.
– A few days? One second outside is almost a year here.
– A few days? One second out there is almost a year here.
– That’s not how time works.
And the screen faded to black, bringing all episodes of White Blood to an end.
Clap clap clap─.
Applause echoed through LN Entertainment’s main conference room.
It was a work with extensive filming content and extremely high difficulty.
Everyone in the conference room had been through hardships.
Meanwhile, at Hollywood’s Snobish Mount headquarters, Jake looked at Catherine with eyes that held both slight dissatisfaction and expectation.
I thought the reason I was so anxious about a series made in a small country on the periphery of Asia was definitely because Catherine had failed to run the promotion effectively.
However, since he couldn’t behead a general who was currently on the battlefield, he was gritting his teeth and enduring it for now.
And on the other hand, I was excited by the thought that since it was now time for English-speaking users to start becoming active in earnest, we could widen the gap even further.
“…Um, sir. It looks like it’s been updated.”
Jake’s eyes narrowed as he watched the employee speak with slight hesitation.
‘The gap didn’t widen as much as I thought? There should be at least a 3,000-point difference.’
Jake said with a sigh.
“Put it on the screen.”
The employee then squeezed their eyes shut and displayed the results on the screen.
1. White Blood [+1]
2. Alliance [-1]
“…”
After a short sigh, silence immediately followed.
“What the hell kind of situation is this.”
Jake’s face contorted with anger.
And at that moment.
South Korea’s internet was turned upside down starting with one article.
– 「White Blood」 becomes first Asian series to achieve Netflix Global Rankings #1.
