Chapter 84 (1/2)

Kyoko found a dictionary on medical and cytology terms, and looked over the documents. What she had briefly read was interesting.

There is useless content mixed in, but she looked those over once and tossed them. They were unimportant and complicated getting to the point.

She had asked Cha Jun Sung for a few days, but she could tell that would not be possible once she started working on them.

So she extended it by a week. Honestly, Cha Jun Sung would have given her a month if she had asked for it. He cannot force missions on her. She has a personal life too.

She only has to participate in the advance mission. They need to cross over to level C.

-[These documents deal with the onset of the A virus that occurred in the world of Lifers. Pharmaceutical company Empire researched this.]

-[Empire isn’t the one that made it?]

-[No. The method to make it isn’t here. It says that there was a sudden outbreak.]

The A virus appeared out of nowhere. It contaminated all life forms including people, animals, and plants.

Like the top pharmaceutical company in the world, Empire studied the A virus. It is not in pursuit of profit. They were trying to make a vaccine.

The Institute that Cha Jun Sung performed was basically a vaccine manufacturer as well.

-[Is the sample we took the virus or the vaccine?]

-[It’s the vaccine.]

-[If they created a vaccine to combat the disease, why is that world so messed up?]

-[According to this, there are 2 reasons. The first is that there is no life to inoculate, and the second is that they might as well not inoculate if it’s done once someone is infected.]

-[So does that mean that the vaccine was created after the world fell?]

It is understandable. It is not like the A virus is being spread now and it has already spread, so what point is there in creating the vaccine?

-[Are those documents about the process of creating the vaccine?]

-[Similar.]

The Biology Institute had also been packed with mutants. It does not seem like they broke in from outside, but they were infected while doing research.

They could not manufacture the vaccine as though producing them in a factory. They would need to go under a high degree of manufacturing, but they would not have the manpower to deal with that quantity.

Cha Jun Sung’s group only discovered 1 thing as well. The people who had not been vaccinated were infected, and the people who had not been infected were killed by those who were.

-[Is that place Earth?]

-[When comparing material from Lifer World and the lab, it is the Earth. It seems so from what my sister and I experienced as well. You’re feeling it as well, aren’t you?]

A Lifer went on vacation abroad in reality. He left a mark at a place like a milestone, and went into a mission when he came back.

He realized that the place he ended up happened to be where he went on vacation and when he looked for the monument, he was surprised to find the trace he left behind.

-[What do I think it is?]

-[The Earth is one. It’s just that the past, present, and future won’t be the same. If dimensional movement is possible, we can go anywhere we want.]

Time and space travel. Does that mean that it is the same Earth living in a different world? It is a headache to Cha Jun Sung, who is not fluent in science.

Even when they ask the helpers, they do not say anything except that they are not authorized to discuss it. Do they need to advance to level S for the helpers to tell them anything? They need to go all the way to know.

-[Since there’s nothing we can figure out right away, let’s focus on advancing.]

-[Okay.]

Cha Jun Sung wrapped up the discussion. Life Mission, which is full of questions, seems to have a lot of secrets but he does not intend to dig in any further.

They had found a small piece without doing anything. If they just go forward as they are doing now, additional pieces will turn up.
