Bad Born Blood Chapter 322

322
I moved with the darkness.

My everyday body is weak. Even if I extend my fist and strike, it is like hitting with a sledgehammer. Well, this alone is fatal to a natural human.

The density of the opponent’s muscles and bones is abnormally high. The tightly intertwined muscle fibers will not break easily.

However, it doesn’t matter as long as you can make an effective attack. Targeting weaknesses is the basic combat technique of Archies Victory.

I spread my index and middle fingers and stabbed the bastard in the face.

Pick!

My fingers dug into my eyeball. I heard the sound of it squeezing.

Kwajik!

I gently lifted my toes and struck his groin, a spot that couldn’t be covered with muscle.

“Ugh!”

The scream continues. The upper body tilts, the bastard’s head falls forward, and his jaw juts out.

Whoosh!

I elbowed the bastard in the jaw. His head, off balance, shook violently and fell to the ground.

Phew- Ugh!

I kicked the fallen man in the face with all my might. The natural connection ended, and the man’s face was smashed to pieces.

The male robber was finally subdued. It probably took about 2 seconds. It took longer than I thought because the body was slow.

Blink.

The off light flickered as if it were going to come on. A brief flash of light briefly illuminated the interior.

The female robber’s eyes widened as she saw what had happened to her partner.

Even if it was a light battle, my mind became cool as I entered the fight. My emotions that had been fluctuating calmed down.

“port…….”

The female robber tried to surrender by raising her hands.

Sorry, but my goal is to subdue my opponent, not arrest him.

“I’m not a cop.”

I grabbed the female robber’s face and slammed her to the ground.

Crunch!

There was a cracking sound from the back of the woman’s head as she hit the floor. If she was unlucky, she would die. If she was lucky, she would be left with a brain lesion or two.

Tick!

The lights all turned on.

‘There’s no need for such consideration.’

I would have subdued him in no time even without turning off the lights. Barbara had created a slightly more favorable environment for me just in case.

… … The situation seemed to be resolved. The two robbers who were trying to hijack the spaceship were subdued by me.

“Excuse me, thank you. Ladies and gentlemen, we will be returning immediately. Damages due to any accidents will be covered by insurance… .”

The flight attendant thanked me and tried to display her professionalism.

“I lived, I survived.”

“I don’t know who you are, but thank you.”

Relief spread across people’s faces. Unfortunately, it was my turn to disappoint them.

puck!

I grabbed the flight attendant by the head and slammed him into the chair. His eyes rolled back and he fell over.

“Ugh, huhhhh!”

“Wh, what are you doing!”

People looked at me in horror. I rubbed my sore neck and stared at the people.

“From now on, I will take over this passenger ship. If you cooperate obediently, there will be no more bloodshed.”

I declared, raising the corners of my mouth fiercely.

“What, what did you say? You were a river, a robber too!”

Ricky Khan, who was next to me, screamed. I stared at Ricky Khan and grabbed the bastard by the collar.

“Have you ever been hit by someone in your life?”

I grabbed Ricky Khan by the collar with one hand. His legs froze.

“what?”

“Answer me.”

“None, none.”

“Okay, I guess this is your first time.”

I put my finger in Ricky Khan’s mouth and pulled out his front teeth by breaking them off.

“Kuaaaah!”

Ricky Khan screamed and spat out blood. I threw him to the ground and slapped him.

“Shut your mouth before I pull your tongue out.”

Ricky Khan closed his lips, blood in his mouth. But he still listens.

“Crap, stop, my, my property, is that what you’re after? Money, if money is your goal, I’ll give you everything, so, stop, hit me.”

Ricky Khan stepped back, his hands outstretched.

I laughed, scratching my neck. With every step I took, Ricky Khan ran away.

“… … No, I just hit you because you were unlucky.”

I reached out and smacked the guy in the shin. It broke his bone and caused an open fracture, meaning the broken bone was poking through the skin.

“Kkaaaah!”

Ricky Khan screamed and rolled on the floor.

It’s true that my symbol is twisted, but I didn’t beat up Ricky Khan for no reason.

If you show that you are a man with no backing who can even beat up the youngest son of a wealthy family, then others will not do anything foolish.

“Whether you’re Ricky Khan or Naval, if you go against my will, you know that I’ll turn you into a retard on the spot.”

As I said that, I walked into the cockpit.

Cheek, eek!

The door that had been hacked by Barbara opened hesitantly. The pilots looked at me in confusion. They were still trying to establish communication.

“… … I surrender.”

The older pilot raised his hand and said, “Stop!” The younger copilot also surrendered. It was a quick decision.

They must have known that all other means were blocked since their electronic equipment was not working.

“I’m sorry. If you just cooperate, everything will be fine. Think of it as an act of God.”

As I spoke, I tied the pilots into their chairs.

“Working at Border City, you’ll encounter all sorts of things. I’ll cooperate as long as it doesn’t harm me or the passengers.”

The pilot spoke calmly.

That’s why experience is important. I smiled faintly and waited for Barbara.

-I got control.

Barbara’s voice came from the cockpit speakers. The spaceship was turning.

Thud, thud.

Barbara, who had just finished hacking, was walking towards us, holding a pistol. She glanced around and aimed the pistol at the pilot.

Kirick.

There was a clicking sound of internal parts engaging in Barbara’s pistol.

Tick!

I grabbed Barbara’s arm and grabbed the slide of the gun. The gun stopped just before it fired.

“what are you doing?”

Barbara looked at me and said, her expression and tone indifferent.

“What the hell are you doing? Where are you pointing your gun?”

“This one should be killed to make it clean. There’s no need to leave any regrets. All spaceship pilots are elites. That guy is from the military.”

“I know.”

“Are you going to act sluggish before something important?”

Barbara has a point. If I were a soldier today and given the mission… …I would have killed two pilots.

But I’m not a soldier anymore, I just came to see Giselle.

“We didn’t come here to kill.”

“Someone’s going to die anyway. It’s not like it’s going to end without a fight. Since when did you become such an altruistic person? It’s really funny.”

“Not killing them… … is a decision for me. It’s not because I want to be hypocritical. It’s to preserve whatever little bit of humanity I have left. If you don’t understand this, you can’t be friends with anyone.”

I am at my limit. My humanity has been worn out.

If it breaks down any further here… … it becomes a machine powered only by negative emotions like obsession, regret, and hatred.

“This is stupid.”

Barbara said, lowering her gun.

“That’s why people like idiots.”

If I had a personality like Ilay… … I would have died a long time ago. I wouldn’t have received Giselle’s love.

Ilay is the kind of guy who wouldn’t be surprised if he were suddenly murdered by his close associates and acquaintances one day.

“You go and rearm yourself. I’ll take care of the rest.”

Barbara put the gun away with a fake smile.

I looked at Barbara quietly and then headed toward the cargo hold.

By the time I reached the end of the passenger compartment.

Bang! Bang!

Two gunshots rang out in the cockpit. I flinched and closed my eyes.

… … In the end, Barbara killed two pilots. She didn’t leave any danger even after listening to me. If it were Elai, she wouldn’t have killed the pilots for me.

Yes, Barbara is that kind of woman. She is different and twisted from the root. You shouldn’t expect universal emotions and common sense from her.

Barbara will not understand me. Nor will I receive Giselle’s love.

Funny enough, it was a little sad.

* * *

The reason Barbara and I work together is because of our feelings for Giselle. Other than that, we have no other shared ideals or feelings.

‘If we had met under circumstances where we had no contact, Barbara would have died by my hand long ago.’

Barbara’s actions were horrible. I… …hate her.

Kiing, Chik.

I took my body out of the cargo hold and replaced it, starting with my legs and fastening them one by one.

‘Only the left arm is ready-made. The rest are Lazuli No. 21.’

I can consciously correct the misalignment of my upper body. That’s easy for me. Now, I can call myself a strong person wherever I go.

When I think back to the strong men who threatened me, there were few who were overwhelmingly stronger than me. It was always my experience that I was inferior to them.

Now I have a wealth of experience. I can be proud of that.

Chijik, Chik.

I put the communicator to my ear. I could hear Barbara’s voice right away.

– Did you hear the gunshot? I killed both pilots. No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t let them live. But it’s even scarier because he doesn’t blame me.

“Stop calling me honey. It’s creepy. I’m prepared for you to kill the pilot anyway. There’s no way to stop you. I can’t cut off your arms and legs either.”

-Giselle is right in front of me. I just didn’t want to leave any trace of her behind.

“Why don’t we kill all the passengers while we’re at it?”

-You’re not a threat. No one can touch the spaceship. Do you think I’m a psycho killer?

“I’m surprised it wasn’t like that.”

-If you’re going to judge by murder, no matter how hard I try, will you be the only one who does it? Master Lucius Custoria is not in a position to lecture others about murder, you’re the one who’s steeped in violence to the core.

I had nothing to say either.

I kept my mouth shut and focused on the bodywork. My nervous system connected with a sharp pain. I felt a warm ray of light tingling around my body.

Kiing.

Bio-signals and cybernetic signals were exchanged. Although it was an artificial signal system, my brain, having adapted, received mechanical signals more sensitively than biological ones.

My brain is accustomed to machines. I am a cyborg that has been modified and trained to do so.

Crunch.

I finished packing my weapons. Only when the heavy weight was on my waist, thighs, and back did I feel relieved.

“This side is ready.”

-Once we get to the orbital hospital, we’ll have about 20 minutes to spare. After that, the Federation space forces will storm in. I can’t control them until then.

Time is tight. The Orbital Hospital has the size of a large hospital, even when measured as a ground-level building.

‘You can’t find Giselle without Barbara’s guidance.’

Upon arrival, Barbara will hack into the Orbital Hospital’s internal network to locate the cryonic patients.

The spaceship was floating with its course turned. Only the occasional noise of the propulsion system for directional control could be heard in the silence.

I took a breather in the hold. As I had time to think, things on the ground kept bothering me.

‘In the empire now… … .’

The thoughts just kept coming to me. For now, they are just unnecessary, redundant thoughts.

I took the nutritional gel out of my pocket and put it in my mouth. The nutritional liquid went down my throat with a subtle taste.

“Hey, Barbara. Have you completely cut ties with the Empire?”

I tried to focus on the present by talking to Barbara. Barbara was silent for a moment and then answered.

-The Empire’s intelligence resources and communication network were in shambles due to the deaths of military officers and officials in the Storm. I was declared missing during the reconstruction. Of course, you know that I’m alive somewhere… … but I won’t try to find you. It’s like not poking a hornet’s nest unnecessarily. There are more important things to do than finding me right now.

That’s right. If you have the manpower and resources to track down Barbara, it would be more efficient to invest them in internal surveillance of the Empire.

The empire is wasting too much national power on internal control and surveillance. No, I wouldn’t say it’s wasted. If it doesn’t do that, it wouldn’t be strange for the empire to collapse at any time.

‘Even Ivan has no time to spare. There is a severe shortage of manpower to send out. In an empire and a royal court full of plots and schemes, there are few people who can be trusted. Even if there are talented people, they are useless because there is no trust.’

Ivan has hired a subversive person like Ilay Kartika as his inner circle. He is under pressure from all sides.

“Barbara, do you think Ilay will be successful?”

– Are you an idiot? Of course you will fail. You know the darkness of the royal family and the empire. What we saw is not everything.

“… … I guess so.”

-Wake up. We’ll be there soon.

The spaceship was slowing down.

Druk.

I opened the cargo bay window slightly and saw a white space station. It was a long, circular structure with interlocking circular passageways.

That is the orbital hospital under Newzen.
