Chapter 234 Genesis
One hot summer day with heavy rain pouring down.
An ambulance carrying a pregnant woman arrived at a shabby hospital in Harlem, New York, with sirens blaring in a hurry.
“Help me too. My stomach… My stomach hurts so much…”
A full-term pregnant woman who looks imminent at first glance. Her face was contorted with pain, as if she had already gone into labor.
“What the hell was the situation?”
The paramedic checking her basic vitals. When the emergency doctor asked with a firm expression if the pregnant woman’s condition was more serious than expected, one of the paramedics who brought her said,
“When I arrived after receiving the report, the amniotic fluid had already burst and bleeding had also occurred. Also, looking at the syringes left at the scene… it seems that drugs were administered.”
“What? drug….?”
She is a full-term pregnant woman whose name is unknown. She was groaning without being able to properly express herself, perhaps distorted by the pain, but looking at the needle marks left on her arm, I could guess that the paramedics’ words were true.
“Damn it. Did you get your hands on drugs right before giving birth? How on earth are you a drug addict?”
His common sense and morality, having lived in an ordinary and normal family, are completely unacceptable. But it was a fairly common sight at this hospital in Harlem, so he quickly initiated the necessary first aid measures.
“There is an emergency patient who needs to deliver as soon as possible, so call the obstetrician right away.”
The birth that started while completely intoxicated with drugs.
It is unknown how long she had been taking drugs, but her already frail body was not strong enough to give birth to a life.
-Beep beep.
“Heart arrest!”
“shit! Start CPR right now!”
The blood slowly disappears from his pale face. Watching her unfocused golden eyes lose their vitality and die, the doctor who helped her deliver decided after a moment’s thought.
“I am starting an emergency caesarean section now. CPR Don’t stop, keep going and somehow save the mother!”
A doctor who gave up natural childbirth and urgently started a caesarean section. So many people tried to revive the mother and at the same time did their best to help the life that was still alive in her belly start. As a result, she was drugged and moaned in pain until the end, but she did not survive, but her tiny legacy was able to see the light of day.
“It’s a boy…”
“To lose his mother right after he was born… It’s not the first time he’s been through this… but it’s really sad.”
A baby who can’t even open his eyes properly with a face that doesn’t know anything. Not long after, the medical staff who learned about the child’s various circumstances all whispered as if they were sorry.
“There is no father, and the mother died during childbirth… To be an orphan as soon as he was born…
” You say you can’t move your whole body at all?”
“They say the mother was a serious drug addict. I heard that she was addicted to drugs right before giving birth… Maybe it’s because of the side effects. Ehh….. I really feel sorry for him…”
The medical staff clicked their tongues and tutted as they passed by. The faces of those who saw the baby were full of pity, but that was for a while. The thought of the child quickly disappeared from their heads due to the surge of patients.
A child lying alone in a stable room with no one paying attention.
However, there was one person who was curiously interested in the child.
“Interesting. It’s really interesting.”
An elderly doctor with a sharp impression. Feeling clean and well-groomed, he picked up the chart and murmured, examining the various details.
“It’s a body that can’t see, talk, or move due to a congenital brain malformation… but the size of the brain is abnormally large, and only the frontal lobe and cerebral cortex are overdeveloped.”
A child with an abnormal brain in which the main nervous system connected to the body’s motor organs is not developed, but other parts are overdeveloped. The elderly doctor, who picked up the child and examined it carefully, muttered with a strangely maddening smile.
“Yes… Yes… If left alone anyway, it would be your destiny to die miserably in a place no one knows about… Wouldn’t you make a valuable sacrifice for the advancement of human medicine?”
“…..”
A baby who couldn’t understand his words. However, the old doctor laughed with a chuckle as if he accepted it as a sign of approval.
“Yeah…. You’re such a nice and admirable child… Instead, I’ll give you your name as a prize…”
He seemed to be seriously thinking about what name to give him. After thinking about it for a while, he smiled broadly as if he came up with a name he liked.
“jack. From now on, your name will be Jack.”
Calling him by any name he wanted, the old doctor formally introduced himself to Jack.
“My name is Silikoff Paul. I run a small bio company called Silicop.”
So he wrapped Jack up in a blanket lying on one side and quietly slipped out of the hospital without anyone noticing, whispering to him who fell asleep without knowing the world.
“Let’s do our best in the future, Jack. There are so many experiments I want to do on you.”
That day, Jack was kidnapped from a small, shabby hospital in Harlem.
A mad scientist who is obsessed with cruel biological experiments and development of biological weapons.
Founder of Sillicoff The Bio Industry.
To Silicoff Paul.
* * *
Biopharmaceutical company Silicorp.
Officially, it was a pharmaceutical company that succeeded in developing new drugs and was on the rise.
And Silikov Paul, the head of these demons and the head of Silikov’s secret laboratory Hive. Recently, he has been struggling with research to improve the anthrax bacillus and make a more deadly living weapon for the human body.
“Ehh… the fatality rate is way lower than I thought…”
Shilikov muttered, frowning at the figure coming out much lower than expected. A young and cute girl came running to him with a doll.
“Grandpa yi~.”
“Why are you doing this, my little princess?”
Contrary to his notoriety of being a bloodless and tearless devil, he greets his granddaughter as the only remaining blood relative with a broad smile and the appearance of a benevolent grandfather. To him, the little girl pointed to the little boy lying on one side and asked.
“Who is that kid over there?”
“Ah….. Our Jenika was curious about who that test subject was?”
A blond little boy lying still with all sorts of electrodes on his head. After glancing at him, Silikov said with a smile as if he didn’t care about his granddaughter who was looking at him curiously.
“It is nothing. He can’t talk or move anyway, so there’s nothing to worry about. Just think of it as an ornament.”
The test subject was a cruel, cruel Sillikoff who didn’t even look at it as a human in the first place. However, at his words, young Jenika glanced at the boy who seemed to be her age with strange eyes and then said.
“He will be my friend from now on.”
“friend….? A guy who can’t do anything and can’t even move?”
Silicoff tilts his head at Jennica’s words that she wants to be friends with Jack. While experimenting with this and that, he wasn’t as interested in it as before, but it was still a research subject that could be useful, so Silikov spoke to Jennica in a calm voice.
“My princess, did you need more toys? That kid over there is boring and uninteresting enough to be worse than a toy… Instead, why don’t you buy a prettier doll for your grandfather?”
“no. i will play with him Don’t touch my friend.”
Silikov whispered in a sweet voice. However, Jenika at a young age shook her head resolutely at his words and expressed a strong opinion by combining words she knew.
At her stubbornness, Silikov smiled embarrassed and fell into thought.
‘Heh heh….. This is true…’
His one and only granddaughter, Jenika, takes a strange interest in the test subject.
If it was normal, he would have firmly refused even if it was a request from his granddaughter who would not hurt even if he put it in his eyes, but he couldn’t bear it.
‘I lost both my parents at such a young age….. I should do this much…’
Jenika lost both of her parents in an instant due to a recent accident. The police investigation revealed that it was an accident, but Silikov, who thought it was an attack by rivals and enemies scattered around him, was forcing his only remaining granddaughter to live in the Hive, his secret research base.
‘Rather than leaving it alone… it’s just a doll, but it’s better to have a friend.’
A life close to confinement, where you can’t even go outside and have to live only underground. That’s why Silikov was able to understand a little bit of the young granddaughter’s behavior, which is the only one who shows a strange interest and obsession with Jack, who seems to be her age.
Having made up his mind what to do, Silikov looked at him with round eyes and stroked the head of Jennica, who was holding the stuffed rabbit tightly.
“Do it.”
“really?”
“okay. Grandpa didn’t know that our princess wanted to make friends. If you really want to be friends with this guy… let’s do that. Even Grandpa won’t touch this guy.”
“huh! Thanks Grandpa.”
Jenika nodded with a bright smile for the first time at Silikov’s permission. And then Silikov, who had been running to Jack with quick steps and watching him look at him with curious eyes, soon turned around with a hearty smile.
“Won… Guy. I think it’s the first time I’ve laughed since Mom and Dad died.”
Silikov saw his granddaughter smile after a long time. As if that alone was worth giving up a test subject, he immersed himself in his own research again, humming with a strangely happy face. To find a way to improve anthrax, which has a strangely low mortality rate.
While Silikov concentrates on his research. Young Jenika looked around at the young boy with blond hair, who lay motionless as if he was sleeping, with bright eyes.
“…..”
Genika carefully pokes her finger into the boy’s hand. Sensing a strange feeling at the warm and cozy body temperature she felt here for the first time, she tilted her head without saying anything and touched Jack’s hand for a long time.
And I talked to him like a mumble.
“Are you… bored?”
Jenika’s eyes shine as if she heard his voice. And soon after, she hurriedly ran somewhere, and after a while, what she had in her hands was a thick sketchbook and 12-color crayons.
“Then let me tell you a funny story!”
At the same time, Zenica began to draw something diligently in a white sketchbook, fiddling with crayons with one hand. Then, as if she were a teacher reading a fairy tale to children, she started talking seriously.
“In the northern world, that is. It is said that there is always a storm full of bitter cold and cold, and it is covered with snow and ice all over. And there is a white dragon living there, who is sleeping deeply…”
Jenika paints while telling stories with her own imagination. She told him her story every day, every day, for many years.
“They say there is a very big tree at the center of the world. And there is an endless forest around it, and the fairies and trees that live there guard that huge tree that has taken root in the center of the world. They say that the tree has a special power, so if you drink the leaves, all diseases will be cured.”
“…..”
He couldn’t hear any cheers, admiration, or praise from Jack when he heard the story, but Jennica didn’t mind and continued to tell her story.
“Deep in the underworld of that world, there are little dwarfs who live hidden away from anyone, and they have great manual dexterity, making various objects and treasures. I like alcohol, so I keep trying to do business with people on the ground, but every time there is a quarrel, so I don’t get along with each other…”
Jack was born with a deformed brain and was destined to die a miserable death from total paralysis.
However, through coincidences of coincidences and coincidences of unbelievable coincidences and coincidences, he ended up blooming his talents that should not have bloomed brilliantly.
The Sixth Sense, a secret project that was secretly promoted without anyone knowing. And by a butterfly dream.
In this way, he was born in his strange destiny, like a god’s play.
Humanity’s first virtual reality and another perfect world.
Arcadia.
