"Specimen A-M-024-38 has died."
"Specimen K-W-007-09 has died."
"Specimen B-M-002-11 has died."
"Specimen A-M-054-59 has died."
"..."
The emotionless voices echoing from all directions left Doctor Cruemora with a dazed, despairing look on his face.
In theory, it was possible to grant humans animal abilities right away.
But once the experiments actually began, not a single one had succeeded, contrary to his expectations.
What made it even harder for Doctor Cruemora was that despite all those specimens dying, he still couldn't figure out why they were failing.
'What's the problem?'
He had meticulously classified the specimens by gender, age, and lab environment.
But even with control groups, the results were always the same. Doctor Cruemora was at his wit's end, ready to lose his mind.
Doctor Cruemora stood before the dead specimen his assistants had pulled out. Suddenly, he grabbed the corpse by the throat and started screaming.
"What is it?!"
"Doctor?"
"What's the problem?! Why isn't it working?! Tell me why! Speak up and explain the reason!"
"...He's lost it."
One assistant shook his head as he watched Doctor Cruemora wrestle with the corpse. Though their first meeting had been rocky, the man had shown a gentlemanly side at times.
But now?
The confident gleam in his eyes had gradually filled with madness, and now the madness had completely swallowed his confidence. His nerves were frayed to the point where even a slight noise would set him off, hurling objects and raging.
He'd even once sliced open a dead specimen, sniffed the insides, and peered through with microscope glasses.
The sight of Doctor Cruemora like this shocked his assistants deeply.
He was a mad scientist through and through.
"So this is your limit after all."
The assistant smirked.
Doctor Cruemora's scientific knowledge was overwhelmingly deeper and broader than his own. But look at him now—who wouldn't see a total failure?
There was always a twisted pleasure in watching someone who'd always been above him crash to rock bottom.
But unfortunately, the assistant's amusement didn't last long.
"Having fun?"
"Hic?!"
The cold voice whispering in his ear made the assistant jump in terror. He tried to whirl around, but his body wouldn't move.
In fact, it was falling to the floor.
Yes, falling to the floor.
Not sliding—it was falling apart.
The body that had been alive just moments ago shattered into pieces and scattered across the floor. In an instant, a pool of blood formed inside the lab.
"..."
The other assistants, who had been helping Doctor Cruemora, fell silent at the sudden death of their colleague. Even Doctor Cruemora, who had been screaming at the corpse, stared blankly at Shadow Killer and the dead assistant.
What just happened right in front of them?
The assistants couldn't hide their bewilderment.
And the killer, Shadow Killer, spoke up.
"Calling someone crazy means they're that focused. Finding it amusing means you were just standing back a step, watching. If you've taken all that money, you ought to earn it. Who told you to sneer?"
He spoke while looking down at the corpse, but his words were aimed at the living assistants.
"...!"
The assistants turned pale.
A lot of money.
If they didn't earn that money's worth, they'd die.
Only then did they remember whose money they'd taken. Not just anyone's—no, not any villain's, but Shadow Killer's money.
No one was unaware of Shadow Killer's notoriety. But when a lifetime's fortune was dangled right in front of them, the assistants had forgotten whose money it even was.
Astronomical sums had the power to conquer even the fear of death.
"Shadow Killer!!!"
At that moment, Doctor Cruemora, who had been staring blankly at the dead assistant, suddenly shouted and charged at Shadow Killer. He grabbed him by the collar and started shaking him.
"D-Doctor!"
"Stop it!"
"Calm down!"
The assistants panicked and rushed to pull Doctor Cruemora away. But for an old man who'd spent his life cooped up in labs, his strength was no joke.
"Ho?"
"Why'd you kill him?!"
Doctor Cruemora yelled at Shadow Killer, who seemed amused.
"You can't even bring specimens, and you kill him?! If you were gonna kill him, tell me first! I could've used him as a specimen!"
"...What?"
Even Shadow Killer couldn't help but be stunned by those words.
Was this really the same scientist who'd felt guilty just days ago about conducting deadly experiments on humans?
And now? What? If he was going to kill him, he should've used him as a specimen instead?
That was the kind of line you'd expect from a villain—one who treated human lives like dirt. Yet it came from a scientist's mouth.
"Kh, khkhkhkhk! Khahahahaha!"
Stunned, Shadow Killer burst into laughter. He laughed so hard his shoulders shook wildly.
Of course, he'd nudged him this way himself, but wasn't this change too fast?
Shadow Killer, who cared only about results in science and not the process, had no idea how much stress Doctor Cruemora had been under. That's why the doctor's transformation was fascinating and fun.
"Specimens! Give me specimens! We're running low! In two days, we'll be out! You said you'd always supply plenty—what happened to that? Hand over the specimens now!"
Meanwhile, Doctor Cruemora didn't care if Shadow Killer laughed—he just demanded specimens for his experiments. Meaning, kidnap humans or buy them, whatever it took.
"Cough, heh heh heh! Don't worry, Doctor. Starting tomorrow, I can bring you plenty."
Just earlier, Shadow Killer had gotten word from [Sniper] that the eye-diversion operation against the kidnapping ring was starting.
An operation to divert the Hero Association's attention from the kidnapping organization. If it went well, gathering specimens wouldn't be hard.
"Kheehihihihik!"
"I said give me specimens!"
"..."
Shadow Killer let out his bizarre laugh, while Doctor Cruemora grabbed him and screamed.
The assistants, staring blankly at the two, recalled the saying that birds of a feather flock together.
They were both utterly insane.
"You lunatic."
"Cursing me first thing in the morning?"
As I ate the breakfast Elis had prepared, Ji-na cursed me for no reason. They say even dogs don't mess with you during meals, but here she was, picking on me.
"Dad called. Said you beat up some kids at dawn and ended up at the police station? What the hell were you doing out that late?"
"Huh? Police station?"
Elis, eating with us, widened her eyes.
"Oppa went to the police station? Why? Wait, didn't you sleep?"
"That's what I'm saying. What were you doing out at that hour?"
"..."
I've never seen such a big-mouthed dad... What? Power's meant to be used from behind? Bullshit! It's his mouth, not power! He blabbed everything to Ji-na!
"Couldn't sleep. Thought a walk might help."
"A walk? Not to the park right next door, but one 10km away? That's a walk?"
"..."
Ah... Was it that far? I didn't realize, hopping from rooftop to rooftop. My feet are way faster than most cars anyway.
Ji-na hit me with facts, but who am I? The god of acting, the extra master. I'll slip by like a snake over a fence.
"Oh yeah? That far? I must've zoned out running."
"Not gymnastics under the moonlight, but jogging... You're insane. But even if you went, why fight kids? Just come home."
"Didn't fight. As the adult, I just taught the young punks a lesson in growing up."
"Bullshit."
Ji-na shook her head like she couldn't deal with me and bit into her sandwich. Who'd she get that filthy mouth from? Huff huff! Love it! Insult me more! Call me a pervert while you're at it!
"Oh? Time's already this late? Gotta get ready for work. I'll head up first."
"Yeah, sis."
"Go on~"
Ji-na checked the clock and headed upstairs to prepare. Now it was just me and Elis in the kitchen. Perfect timing!
I reached out and grabbed Elis's firm thigh. Smooth skin and solid muscle felt amazing.
"Eek? O-Oppa!"
"How's your pussy? Still sore?"
"Ah... W-Well..."
I stood up fully and rubbed my dick against her arm. Our relationship was still new and embarrassing for her—her face flushed red, flustered. Fun to tease.
"Not going out today."
"Huh?"
"Let's set a new record. How many hours can we fuck?"
"Ah, ah... Oppa, Ji-na-sis is still here..."
"I know. That's why..."
"Eek!"
I grinned lewdly, pulled Elis to her feet, yanked down her shorts, and rubbed my dick against her ass. Reaching around, I felt her clit swelling.
"O-Oppa! Ji-na-sis is here!"
"Makes it more thrilling, right?"
"Huh?"
"Let's fuck without Ji-na catching us."
"W-Wait...!"
Squelch-!
"Hiiiik?!"
I shoved her panties aside and thrust in. Not wet enough yet, so it was a tight fit.
"Scream like that, and Ji-na might hear."
No juices meant it'd hurt her, so I rubbed her clit first. Once she was dripping, I started pounding.
Slap slap slap slap slap-!
"Ngh! Hahk...! Hn?!"
My lower belly smacked her ass, making lewd sounds. She tried to push me away but ended up covering her mouth, taking my dick.
Ding-!
About five minutes in, the elevator door opened.
"Huh? Ji-na's back. Act natural."
"Hahk... O-Oppa?"
I hugged Elis tight and knelt. She followed into doggy behind the counter. I gripped her ass and resumed thrusting.
"Huh? Where'd they go? Elis? Hey?"
That bitch... Elis is Elis, but I'm 'hey'?
'O-Oppa! Ji-na-sis is...!'
With no reply from us, Ji-na tilted her head and approached the kitchen. Elis panicked and looked back, but I focused on stabbing her pussy.
I whispered in her ear.
'Keep Ji-na away.'
'Huh? O-Oppa!'
I yanked Elis's hair up. The long table hid our bodies; only her head poked over.
"Oh? There you are. What're you doing?"
"Huh? Ahk! W-Well... Hn?!"
"Huh? What's wrong? Hurt?"
Worried by her pained cry, Ji-na walked closer.
Squeeze-!
'Oh fuck, that's tight? Squeezing like crazy.'
The closer Ji-na got, the harder Elis's walls clenched my dick. One move, and I'd blow prematurely.
Meanwhile, terrified of getting caught, Elis yelled quickly.
"N-No, I'm fine!"
"Huh?"
"Dropped a fork and stubbed my toe by accident..."
"Oh, gotcha. Should've been careful."
"Yeah... Hak... Right... Hah... Ngh!"
"Hurts bad? Where's that guy? Upstairs?"
"Yeah! Sis left, and... Ungh... I was gonna follow."
"Really? Wasn't in the room..."
Splurt-!
"Hnnngh~!"
"Hm?"
Elis was hilarious, stifling moans and making excuses. For fun, I suddenly jammed a finger in her ass.
Caught off guard, she moaned involuntarily. Ji-na eyed her suspiciously. Scared she'd come in, I spoke up fast.
"S-Sis! Aren't you late?!"
"Oh? Wow, time flew. I'm out."
"Yeah! Have a good day!"
Clunk-!
"Haaaang~!"
The moment Ji-na left, Elis unleashed her held-back moan. At the same time, I came inside her. Whew! Thought I'd die holding back!
