Episode 209
Episode 209: Nurses
Strange-looking people dotted among the bustling crowd.
The [Mountain Predator] possesses a ghost or something like that inside a human body through the tentacles it created by sharing its power.
“Bzzzzzzzz… … .”
“Guh-gu-gu-gu…” … .”
It looks like he’s going to throw up everything in his stomach at any moment.
But where does the Gourmet Expedition go and do they use things like that?
It’s a way to instantly create cultists who will embody one’s will, but if it was such a good method, why would other abyssal beings go to such trouble to raise cultists?
‘It’s a complete waste of energy, why would you do something like that? Do you have any strength left?’
The same thing happened to Jang Hyeon-deok, but it was a meaningful act because Jang Hyeon-deok had the [Living Altar] trait, which returns 1,200 power if you put 100 in it.
If you do something like that to a person who doesn’t have psychic-related traits, they won’t be able to use their power properly due to repulsion and resistance. If you give 100 to an average person, the efficiency will only be 10 to 30.
Of course, it would be different if there were other items or large-scale rituals that could correct the influence, like the grimoire of Hwangnim Church that I met last time… … .
‘Did some absurd artifact or psychic come out of nowhere without my knowledge? ‘There won’t be such an event, right?’
Isn’t this a crazy situation where you’re pouring all your energy because of your obsession with me?
Well, I guess it’s good.
“Feel free to waste your energy. “I am passing by.”
I changed my mask to hide myself on a back road where people couldn’t see me. The mask that Seo Cheon-seul gave me.
Wearing the mask of Captain Cheongeum, which symbolized the face of an angry goblin, I took out a wooden chopstick from my backpack and unwrapped it.
These chopsticks have not yet been split into two. I brought it to my mouth and spoke as if whispering to the chopsticks.
“If you pull it left or right, it will become two, but now it is one. The sight of the two side by side resembles a human walking on two feet. I will breathe into you, and you will exhale and walk like a human being.”
after-
I breathed lightly on the chopsticks and then threw them into the air. After spinning several times in the air, the chopsticks transformed into a human shape and landed on the floor.
‘Oh wait, what did I do?’
Among the many methods, why did you choose
I am reminded of the stories Kim Shin-hwa and I told last night.
“I really won’t do it – it’s not a problem that can be easily avoided.”
In any case, this is just an illusion that cannot do anything other than walking and repeating specified words.
I spoke to the illusion created with chopsticks.
“Hey, chopsticks friend. “If you have free time, will you do what I originally wanted to do?”
“I am Kim Shin-hwa.”
“okay. Well done.”
“I am Kim Shin-hwa. I am Shinhwa Kim. “I am Kim Shin-hwa.”
Chopstick Kim Shin-hwa walks towards the hospital repeating the same words.
I immediately took off the mask and replaced it with another mask I had prepared. It would be nice to be able to change it right away with a shortcut key. I took it off and put it on. It’s very uncomfortable.
I lifted my hand for a moment and touched my face.
A different texture than usual. Soft and soft skin texture. I can feel the shape of the nose and lips along the slowly moving fingertips.
“Uhm. “It’s a little awkward.”
It’s not like he has a bare face. This too is a mask.
The shape of the face was created using living flesh and magically created skin. In short, should it be called a [human skin mask]?
Thanks to the carefully added techniques, this mask naturally reproduces my expressions and facial movements.
‘Although you can create a similar effect with illusion magic.’
I don’t know what type of attack I’ll face today, but I don’t know what could happen if I waste my magic.
I disguise myself like that and head to the hospital, blending in with the crowd of people.
I can see the fake Kim Shin-hwa moving in front of me first.
It’s impossible to walk among so many people wearing a strangely shaped mask… … .
“Seeing it through a third person’s eyes, he looks like a crazy person.”
Fortunately, there are many people in this hospital who behave as strangely as me. Troopers walking around carrying huge weapons. Strange equipment and strange magical objects are also noticeable.
And people with a more unique appearance than those problem solvers.
“Ki, Kim Si-yeon-ah…” … .”
One by one, the humans controlled by [Predators in the Mountains] approach the fake Kim Shin-hwa. He acts like an unintelligent zombie.
“I am Kim Shin-hwa. I am Shinhwa Kim. “I am Kim Shin-hwa.”
They approach the fake Kim Shin-hwa, who repeats the same words. And as soon as he caught the fake Kim Shin-hwa, he started vomiting, which he had been suppressing.
“Kwaeoek, kwaeek!!”
Hundreds of tentacles spewing out from the wide-open mouth. With a crunching noise, it wraps around the fake Kim Shin-hwa and crushes it in one breath.
Pakak-
The fake Kim Shin-hwa, created through illusion, was crushed in the same walking position and returned to its original form, wooden chopsticks.
“Aaaah! monster! “It’s a monster!”
“Aaaahhh!”
“What is this happening in front of the hospital all of a sudden!?”
Although the ratio of solvers was unusually high, the crowd, the vast majority of which were ordinary people, quickly fell into confusion and chaos broke out.
“Bzzzzzzzz!”
“Kim Shin-hwaaaa!”
“Kim Shinhwa!!”
The minions sent by [Mountain Predator] were also in confusion. They lose their goal and try to run at anyone, shouting my name all at once. A situation in which madmen spewing tentacles from their mouths recklessly go on a rampage.
“Aaaah!”
“go away! “You monster!”
“Don’t come any closer!”

There are some solvers with weapons, but even they are busy avoiding them. No problem solver is foolish enough to engage in a fight that will result in no money.
Moreover, this is Paju Central Hospital.
Just like the judgment I made, this is a place where there is no need to step up and fight.
“I’m going out! Please get out of the way!”
“Please get out of the way! “Here we go!”
“Emergency! Emergency!”
A shout coming from the hospital building. I see rugged-looking nurses running in comfortable dark-colored uniforms.
“Eurachacha!”
One of the nurses jumped into the air with great energy and swung the suppression baton in one hand.
Bah!
“Oh, patient? “How are you now?”
“Krrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!”
“You can’t communicate! The pupils are dilated, and foreign objects can be seen in the oral cavity. Physical mutation estimated to be level 4 or higher. Close encounter of the 7th kind due to the interference of surreal entities! “First, we will subdue it for emergency treatment!”
With those words, an indiscriminate assault begins. The tentacles wriggle and try to wrap around, but other nurses who come after them also join in.
“Suppress it!”
“Waaah!”
Swinging clubs, great swords, and tactical axes. It’s an ugly atmosphere that wouldn’t be surprising if guns came out right away, but guns barely appear.
In the end, the minions sent by the [Mountain Predator] are quickly subdued – wrapped in highly elastic bands and taken to the hospital.
It’ll probably be ‘cured’ like that.
Although it is an unusual sight, people seem to be familiar with it.
“Ah, it’s been a while since I saw nurses fighting.”
“I saw it last time too. Why are you there? Last time, because of a patient with anthropogenic pyroptosis… … .”
Some of the nurses are yelling at people.
“Has any of you experienced symptoms such as fever, headache, dizziness, abnormal sensations, excessive tension, excessive anxiety, auditory hallucinations, or visual hallucinations due to the incident just now?”
“If there is such a person, please come this way!”
There were a few people approaching the nurses, but I passed them and continued walking inside the hospital.
These are the combat nurses at Paju Central Hospital.
What on earth was the [Mountain Predator] thinking of fighting here?
This is Paju.
And Paju Central Hospital is the largest and most aggressive hospital in Paju. This is inevitable because the main customer base they deal with are problem solvers who are already straddling the gap between reality and unreality.
People who can smash someone’s head or rip out their spine with just a wave of their hand. Those who can start a huge fire with just a few muttered words. Those with high-powered tactical implants in parts of their bodies, and so on.
In order to prevent such people from going on a rampage and to defend against attacks by otherworldly beings, this hospital has a completely different staff composition than a regular hospital.
‘Ordinary patients, even if they are not problem solvers, don’t even come here.’
What is different is not only the combat power this hospital has.
Bizarre accidents and disasters occur in Paju.
Therefore, injuries and diseases that cannot be cured in regular hospitals occur endlessly in Paju.
How do you treat a patient possessed by a ghost?
Or a patient with a human face growing on his leg, a patient with tentacles growing on his body, a patient who suddenly spits out fire from his mouth, a patient who was kidnapped by aliens and had his body modified, a patient who reads a surreal grimoire and causes magical disasters, or a patient who causes magical disasters, or a patient who causes a magical disaster by reading a surreal grimoire. What about the patient who lost his body and fell into eternal sleep?
For such patients, ordinary treatments do not work.
For example… … . Ugh, what is that?
‘I guess I kept losing my memory because of that.’
There is a huge water tank placed in the hospital lobby.
A huge lobby with an open ceiling reaching up to the 5th floor. A huge cylindrical water tank that extends to the ceiling of the lobby.
It is quite large, with a height of just over 20 meters and a diameter of over 10 meters.
The scale is closer to an aquarium rather than a fish tank.
And strangely shaped fish swimming inside the tank emitting blue light.
Because this absurd structure has been installed here, I have not been able to come to this hospital for a while.
I still don’t remember anything like this even being here.
‘The effects of memory loss still linger.’
What else did I forget?
I looked at that annoying giant fish tank for a moment.
I had a fish phobia before, but now I can look into it.
Looking at the huge tank placed in the middle of the building and the fish swimming leisurely in the tank gives me an eerie feeling, even if I’m not fish-phobic.
No, maybe there is still some phobia of fish left in my body? It’s an unpleasant feeling.
“Why did you put something like that here?”
The huge fish tank isn’t the only problem. Swimming in the aquarium is a strangely shaped creature that is not normally seen.
I wouldn’t go so far as to say it’s a surreal monster, but… … .
“But what is that?”
I also have fond memories of fish. I haven’t completely forgotten it, but it’s not without loss. How on earth do I find these memories?
“Wen Yao Fish (文鰩魚). It is a fish also called a beer. “It’s a surreal object that has begun to appear in the West and South Seas these days.”
Someone answered my question. I turned my head, touching my fake face for a moment.
“Oh, is that so? “Moonyo?”
“yes. These are the friends who appear in Mountains and Seas Viewing as well. What did you say? “It looks like a carp, but it has the wings of a bird, has blue patterns, and has a white head.”
The fish swimming in the tank looked just as she described.
Although it is not so strangely shaped as to cause insanity, it is a fish with fins that look like wings.
Of course, there are many other types of fish.
“In the past, I thought it was a record of flying fish, but after the Great Collapse, moonfish began to be caught in the West and South Seas.”
This is someone who knows who he is.
There is no need to pretend to know just yet. I asked a question in an appropriate tone of humor.
“But why are these fish being raised in hospitals? Ornamental?”
“no. It’s for medical and research purposes – the meat of the moonfish is sweet and fatty, and voila! Surprisingly, it has the power to cure mania!”
One of the reasons why I stopped by the North Wing instead of going straight to the closed ward was immediately resolved.
