Drug-Eating Genius Mage – 471



Checkup(2)

‘It’s a blood donation business.’

I understood why Alejandro Murphy was doing this kind of business.

A groundbreaking idea to use the blood of high-level superhumans as a doping agent and provide it to customers across the continent.

Even Lennok was a little impressed by the plan to reduce the rejection of other people’s blood by using the vampire’s ability and increase its effectiveness.

It goes without saying how great the potential this business has in a world filled with so many superhumans who desire and crave various kinds of power.

However Lennok’s positive evaluation of Murphy’s business and his acceptance of the conditions were completely separate issues.

“There was a reason why Madame was reluctant to connect you there.”

Lennok said looking intently into Murphy’s eyes.

“Even if you conduct an experiment without disclosing your identity you will definitely be taking risks. “Is this how things were done in Arsnova?”

Ugh…!!

The moment he raised his magic power with a low murmur an intense pressure tightening from all directions instantly began to grab and hold down both of Murphy’s shoulders.

A tremendous amount of pressure bursts out just by lightly rotating the body’s magic power.

Murphy who was alive at the time of the central city’s destruction would not know what level its density and compressive force had reached.

However Murphy did not lose his composure even though he was shaking with a pale complexion.

“I’m sorry if I offended you. However it is not a lie that this process is necessary to access the central city’s examination records and conduct comparative analysis.”

“….”

“Of course I know that patient information is a secret that must be strictly protected. However in order to continue this work sometimes it is necessary to disclose the experimental process to the public.”

Murphy took out his glasses from his pocket with trembling hands and smiled.

“The people currently participating in this video conference are my customers and prospective investors who are interested in the business itself. “If we can receive their investment we will be able to conduct the examination and treatment in the way you want more effectively.”

“Are you saying that we need to show overwhelming performance in order to receive investment?”

“I hope you think of it as the result of mutual understanding. “I also felt burdened by accessing the central city’s medical examination records just at Madame’s request.”

Murphy said and snapped his fingers once more.

At that moment the view of the huge isolation room beyond the glass window went dark again and only the image of the examination room where the two people were standing was visible.

“As I said before you can always refuse if you don’t feel like it. “We didn’t talk about anything here today.”

“….”

“As much as I have revealed sensitive parts of my business it should be enough to guarantee that I will keep your body secret.”

It’s not that I can’t understand what Murphy is saying.

The motivation to raise investment funds to continue research in the desired medical field was a common concern even among wizards.

I heard that it is not uncommon for wizards who study pure magic to announce their results to improve the efficiency of the energy system.

It is ironic that Lennok’s paper on the electric power and magical power substitution system is considered the pinnacle of this tendency but it would not be strange if something similar was happening in the shadows.

However it was not wrong to say that Lennok did not need to understand or tolerate such a situation.

‘If possible it would be better to avoid dealing with the madam or the doctor…’

There is no need to avoid such a situation if necessary.

Lennok nodded slowly as he thought so.

“good. “Let’s get started.”

“…Thank you for making this difficult decision. “Then we will start preparing for blood collection. Could you please decide where to insert the syringe in advance?”

“I will do it with my left arm.”

As Lennok said that he casually pretended to take off his coat with his right arm and patted Dabi who was squirming inside.

As if Dabi understood Lennok’s thoughts he immediately sent a message of intent.

[We have almost completely taken control of the underground cavity’s internal system. Both the video screen and the control authority for video transmission medical equipment can be manipulated at any time.]

‘What about the screening database?’

[The data location has been secured but the volume is so large and the firewall is complex that it takes some time.]

Inside the court the Thunder Spirit was waving its tail as if it was in trouble.

[Database security is extremely demanding even compared to the city’s central network. The capacity itself is extremely large but the server is designed to be shut down if all packets are accessed simultaneously and approval is not received.]

‘….’

[The fact that even though security is provided down to each character the capacity of the security method itself is almost non-existent… This is the first time I have seen something like this. It’s very groundbreaking isn’t it?]

Data security is so strong that Dabi even calls it groundbreaking. It must be a legacy of the central city.

This alone is enough to give you a sense of the value of the technology and heritage that was lost when Arsnova fell and why the battle line formed around that city still serves as a standard for judging the situation on the continent.

Therefore Lennok was even more convinced that he should obtain that access right here and now.

Sharing the reaction experiment process is unavoidable but the data must remain entirely under Lennok’s own control.

That was why Lennoch accepted Murphy’s offer at this point and had Darby do the work.

[Still there are some security loopholes so you can copy and download the administrator privileges in about 20 minutes.]

Dabi asserts that it is not impossible if you take advantage of the loopholes created by coming out with medical checkup records from the central city.

It may take some time but it is enough as long as you are confident that you will not give information about your body into Murphy’s hands.

Murphy’s eyes lit up as he watched Lennoch put a syringe to his arm.

“The blood draw looks pretty familiar. “It doesn’t seem like it’s my first time doing this.”

“A lot of things happened.”

To be precise he became proficient in using a syringe in the process of injecting various things into the body rather than drawing blood but Murphy seemed to understand it differently.

“I see… It’s no wonder that a wizard with talent like you has gone through all kinds of hardships. “It looks like you both went through a difficult time.”

“….”

It seemed like there was some strange misunderstanding again but Lennok just kept his mouth shut as Murphy’s gaze turned somewhat more favorable.

“It’s over.”

After collecting a bottle of blood through a syringe and putting it down Murphy quickly approached him and began to stop the bleeding in his arm.

After attaching the gauze and fixing it with familiar hands he very carefully picks up the vial of blood from which Lennok collected blood.

When an ampoule containing blood was inserted into a device on one side of the examination room a long needle rose near the device’s screen.

Without any hesitation Murphy plunged his palm into the sharp needle.

Phew!!

The center of his palm was pierced squarely and blood began to flow but Murphy paid it no mind and turned his gaze towards Lennok.

“It is a process of denaturing antibodies to minimize rejection and adjusting their purity to the point where injection is possible. “This is equipment I made myself to manipulate the blood flow of vampires.”

“….”

“Don’t worry there will be no impurities mixed into your blood.”

“Let’s get started quickly.”

In response to Lennok’s harsh response Murphy also did not open his mouth and concentrated on his work.

The blood in the ampoule seemed to rotate quietly and then the amount began to decrease little by little as if it were evaporating.

What remained after the work was completed was a small amount less than 10% of the blood collected by Lennok.

Murphy very carefully separated the blood drop by drop and poured it into separate glass tubes.

“Preparations are over. “Let’s start right away.”

Saying that Murphy snapped his fingers once more and the lights beyond the examination room turned on again and the scenery of the spacious isolation room began to appear brightly.

At the bottom of the isolation room where the video screen is turned on there is someone with a different look than Murphy.

A man wearing a white mask dressed like a presenter in a tuxedo.

He lowered his head in an exaggerated manner looking at dozens of people looking down at him.

“Nice to meet you everyone. “Thank you very much for taking time out of your busy schedule to be here today.”

[The doctor showed up too late.]

[Why did the lights suddenly turn off midway? Was there something wrong?]

Lennok turned his attention to the reactions of people who naturally recognized that person as a doctor.

“Who is it?”

“This is a servant created using a vampire’s abilities.”

Murphy replied leaning comfortably in his wheelchair and looking at the figure.

“I don’t have the personality to talk in front of people so I needed a suitable substitute. “It’s working very well so far.”

“….”

The man was skillfully using his tongue in front of customers who were subtly criticizing him.

“Ahaha I’m sorry about this. “As we put so much preparation into this demonstration please consider that we are working hard to achieve the best results.”

[If someone else had handled things this way I would have canceled the appointment right away.]

[I can turn a blind eye to this because I am satisfied with the products the doctor has provided so far. Please keep this in mind.]

“Isn’t this demonstration planned to clear up doubts about such underdeveloped areas? “Don’t worry.”

Murphy’s servant said so and began to walk slowly in front of the isolation room at a leisurely pace.

Five isolation rooms with clear interior. Creatures trapped in a huge container-like isolation room stared at him with anxious eyes.

“Many customers have been curious about how the products I sell are prepared. “We invited you today to transparently disclose the entire process and earn your trust.”

It is natural to disclose the production process of a product in order to attract investment in the business.

The important thing is to show investors the best performance in the production process and receive active investment promises.

In addition to examining Lennok Murphy was also trying to showcase the process to investors and expand the business.

It was natural that a process carried out with the blood of a fast person who was famous even in a huge city would produce much better results than the blood of other superhumans.

“The five isolation rooms you see in front of you. “We will inject blood into the organisms stored here and test their responsiveness.”

The man shouted in a cheerful tone as if he were taking on the role of host.

“The blood is processed and stabilized using the reaction data created through five control groups and then delivered to you.”

Murphy who was watching added.

“Originally we draw two bottles of blood and process one into reaction experiments and the other into experimental data.”

“….”

Does this mean that since they had no intention of selling Lennok’s blood only one vial of blood was collected for experimentation from the beginning?

Without responding I turned my attention to the isolation room.

Five isolation rooms where animal beasts ordinary humans 3rd-level magic users and 5th-level military power users are imprisoned.

Unlike the previous three isolation rooms the isolation room where level 3 and 5 superhumans are confined is restrained by all kinds of restraint devices.

Despite the fact that human testing was clearly taking place none of the customers watching protested.

Rather with twinkling eyes he simply put his eyes on the camera to get a closer look at the isolation room.

[Interesting.]

[I’m sure it was so effective because it was being tested on humans.]

[I trusted the doctor. Rather I believe it.]

“From now on I will show you the process in detail.”

The man said that and immediately stood in front of the first isolation room.

In the middle of the huge isolation room a pure white rabbit with fluffy fur was trembling.

“It is the first animal used in reaction experiments. “It is a specimen with a fast metabolism and immediate physical reactions making it easy to monitor the progress!”

A syringe attached to the end of a long mechanical arm that comes down from the ceiling quickly approaches the rabbit’s back and administers an injection.

[Oh!!]

[at las!!]

Murphy and the other customers gulped and Lennok also watched intently.

The convulsing rabbit collapsed on the spot and died with foam at the mouth.

[….]

[Is this the end?]

The other customers were left speechless by that vain ending.

However Murphy’s servant was not embarrassed and moved naturally to the next isolation room.

A magical beast like transparent slime. It is impressive to see the strangely shaped organs and blood vessels clearly visible within the body.

“…This is Crozanon a demonic beast brought from the southern jungle. “It is a rare species that has a very high value in clinical trials because it has the unique property of showing internal organs transparently and its blood circulates at a speed similar to that of the human body.”

[It looks very creepy.]

[I have also heard of Crozanon being used as a sample in clinical trials.]

[It will be a little different this time.]

While other customers were talking over the burn a drop of blood was also injected into the demonic beast’s body.

Crozanon’s transparent body seemed to turn red and began to wriggle as if something was about to jump out from within.

Unlike before the customer’s eyes also changed due to the quite intense reaction.

[Something is about to pop out!!]

[Is this something like evolution?]

At that moment Crozanon’s body stiffened and stopped moving as if it were a lie.

A reaction that is somewhat unpleasant. Customers’ voices also changed in an instant.

[…Well it’s just a sample.]

[Rather it shouldn’t cause a big problem right…?]

“….”

[But I don’t see anything compelling enough to call us.]

[The doctor seemed confident but so far so-so?]

Murphy’s servant also seemed slightly embarrassed as he reacted strangely twice.

Murphy gestured to the servant who was secretly looking at the examination room without being seen by the customers.

A signal to continue.

The servant tried to lighten the mood and diverted the attention of the customers.

The third person trapped in the isolation room is an elderly man with a scary appearance.

Although he has thick muscles he is an ordinary human being without any magic power.

“To be dragged into this fucking madman’s lab and used as an experiment… I should have just rotted to death in prison.”

An image of accepting one’s fate submitting one’s arm to a syringe falling from the ceiling.

Other customers also seemed distracted and lost concentration perhaps because of the previous two experiments.

The man muttered helplessly rubbing his forearm where the syringe had come out.

“If I had an aptitude for magical power in the first place I wouldn’t be trapped in a place like this and searching for it… I can’t die in peace… Huh?”

Paaaa!!

At that moment a tremendous amount of light exploded from within the man’s body and at the same time his body began to slowly rise into the air.

“Waaaaaa!!”

A man rises spewing out pure white brilliance through every hole in the ball and continues to flail his arms.

Other customers watching on the video screen also screamed in shock.

[What the hell!!]

[Is something finally happening!!]

[Please show me something quickly!!]

At that moment the brilliance that had burst from the man’s body went out and his body fell to the floor.

thud!!

“Kwaaak!!”

The man who fell on his butt was mumbling and swearing but on the contrary the voices coming from all directions suddenly stopped.

Even Murphy’s servants stopped talking and just stared at the isolation room.

“What the fuck? Why are you suddenly anxious?…”

The man looked around the room in the isolation room with an ominous feeling and his eyes widened.

Unlike the man who fell to the floor objects such as the bed and shelves placed in the isolation room were still floating in the air.

“What is this….”

With a trembling hand he points to a floating shelf nearby and the shelf floats and begins to move following the man’s gesture.

Someone who was looking at that scene muttered.

[It is telekinesis….]

[I can’t believe it. Have you awakened your superpower? In this place?”]

“This is… a superpower?”

Only then did the man notice the changes in his body and began moving the objects in the isolation room.

A manipulation so natural that it’s hard to believe that he wasn’t aware of his abilities until just now.

However the expressions on the faces of other customers watching him were stiff.

Murphy also kept his mouth shut and Lennok also slightly tilted his head.

However the reaction test conducted on the next level 3 magic user was not at that level.

“I reached the top!! Now I’m level 4…!!!!”

As soon as a level 3 magic user was injected with Lennok’s blood their magic power was rapidly amplified and they surpassed the hierarchy.

The sight of a death row inmate running around the isolation room with an expression full of joy forgetting that his entire body has been restrained.

[….]

A chilling silence.

Now there were no more customers who saw that and added comments.

“Hurry and experiment on me too!! Give it to me quickly you bastards!!”

The level 5 military officer who was watching this from the last isolation room was screaming for him to quickly administer the product.

Murphy’s servant also injected blood without saying anything more.

Cheek!!

“Hahaha!! “You’re all gone now you bastards!!”

The man burst out laughing like crazy glaring in all directions with bloodshot eyes and screaming loudly.

“If I put something like this into my body my strength will definitely grow blah blah!!” “Tear off your limbs and hang all of you…!!”

Ugh!!!

At that moment the level 5 superhuman’s head exploded on the spot.

Red blood and brain fluid were flying around on the glass window of the isolation room and the impact caused faint cracks to appear in the tempered glass.

[…He’s dead.]

[What should I call that? explosion? suicide?]

[What does it matter what it died of? That’s probably not what’s really important.]

The eyes of dozens of people on the video screen all turned to Murphy’s servants.

This is not the time to think about reaction experiments or business investments.

What is important is the very existence of the blood used in the demonstration.

Although the doctor explained it as if it was nothing special the results were too much to be considered a simple demonstration of a reaction experiment.

Blood that is not only almost unconditionally helpful to low-level superhumans but also has outstanding output enough to overload a level 5 magic user.

It is already a magical elixir in itself.

There is no one stupid enough to not know that it is not an ordinary object.

The gazes of those who stared at the camera with bloodshot eyes were all stained with mad greed.

[I will pay money to purchase the blood used in the experiment.]

[I will give you 5 billion cells. No delivery right now… I’ll go pick it up myself.]

[Only 5 billion cells?! I would buy it for twice that!!]

[I will write a blank check. Tell me right now where that blood came from!!]
