K Corp. Class 3 Excision Staff
The child spent his days and nights in that glass tube.
It was to keep him in the "most stable state" as K Corp. determined.
In that coffin of glass, the child's body sleeps all the time.
Until he's woken up from the outside, that is.
Hong Lu
(K Corp. Class 3 Excision Staff)
Ah~ Hard at work as usual, I see~ The ones that came here earlier left for lunch, I presume?
Excision Management Staff
(K Corp.)
…….
Hong Lu
(K Corp. Class 3 Excision Staff)
Have you had your meal? What did you eat today?
Excision Management Staff
(K Corp.)
…….
Hong Lu
(K Corp. Class 3 Excision Staff)
Not interested in food talk? Then...
Excision Management Staff
(K Corp.)
Don't you ever get tired of yapping like that every day?
Hong Lu
(K Corp. Class 3 Excision Staff)
Ahh~ You're looking me in the eye at last~
Perhaps the researcher was taking a moment to regret pressing the button to wake the child up.
Among the employees called the Excision staff in K Corp., those belonging to Class 3 spend all of their time outside deployment to missions in those glass tubes.
Since Class 3 staff inject themselves with heavy doses of the ampule more often than most other employees, they're forced to live in those tubes to raise the compatibility. The ampules could decay them if its configuration is ever so slightly off.
Excision Management Staff
(K Corp.)
I'm just amazed you can blather on as soon as you get up... It's not just ordinary sleep, you're put in suspended animation.
Hong Lu
(K Corp. Class 3 Excision Staff)
Well~ It's something I could get used to.
As they mentioned, their sleep is different from what we normally think. Their consciousness is put in a state of total suspension.
Even the subconscious thoughts that change in dreams have the risk of causing decay.
Yet, the child doesn't seem to be affected by its aftereffects; he looks refreshed, rather.
Hong Lu
(K Corp. Class 3 Excision Staff)
Haha, I can't go outside when I want to, as you know. How else can I relieve this boredom?
Excision Management Staff
(K Corp.)
Seriously... I have no idea how you ended up here. You'd have landed in any other department if it weren't for your ampule compatibility.
Hong Lu
(K Corp. Class 3 Excision Staff)
Mm~ I wouldn't say so. It was my grandmother who sent me here.
Excision Management Staff
(K Corp.)
Your grandmother?
Hong Lu
(K Corp. Class 3 Excision Staff)
That's right~ She told me to see more of the City and learn how the world goes.
Excision Management Staff
(K Corp.)
So basically... You got here by nepotism, right? And your...grandmother is someone with power. Is Excision really the kind of job to favor, though...?
Instead of laughter, the child replied by making bubbles.
When the researcher looked up in a hurry to see what was going on, they only found the child smiling with his eyes closed.
Excision Management Staff
(K Corp.)
You frightened me for a second...
Hong Lu
(K Corp. Class 3 Excision Staff)
Huhu, I just laughed because it was funny.
Hong Lu
(K Corp. Class 3 Excision Staff)
Well~ I don't know what my grandmother is thinking, and I frankly don't care~
Hong Lu
(K Corp. Class 3 Excision Staff)
But I do think it's not bad to try this kind of work.
Excision Management Staff
(K Corp.)
…….
An alarm buzzed around the wrist of the researcher who was looking at the child with mixed feelings.
Excision Management Staff
(K Corp.)
Here's something to clear your boredom: you're up for a deployment.
Hong Lu
(K Corp. Class 3 Excision Staff)
Aha! I knew it!
The child...
Took little time to arrive at the location where the order was made.
Hong Lu
(K Corp. Class 3 Excision Staff)
Alright... I'll commence the excision now.
Spinning his weapon around, the child rushed at his enemy.
For someone who was at work, he looked exceedingly delighted.
It's like he was excited to have new experiences.
