NIS Agent Reincarnated as a Genius Actor

Episode 155 - The End of "White Blood"



After hearing Do-jin’s words, Ella looked back and forth between Do-jin and the floating rock island high in the sky.

“All the way up there?”

“Yes. I think you can do it.”

Cardiac had said it.

Hematopoietic stem cells become infinitely stronger the higher they go in the body.

It seemed this place was a bit higher than outside the barrier.

“Hmm! I’ll give it a try!”

Nodding her head, Ella lifted Do-jin in her arms like a princess.

“…No, this is a bit… Wait.”

Suddenly cradled like a baby, Do-jin changed his position, balancing on one foot on Ella’s hands.

“…Alright. Now throw.”

Meanwhile, in the LN Entertainment conference room, the production team and cast watching the screen all burst into laughter at the same time.

“Oh, that’s hilarious. The editing is amazing.”

Jeong Soo-yeon laughed, slapping her thigh at the ridiculous pose that suddenly followed the serious scenes.

“Han Byul, how did you lift him?”

“Oppa was hanging on wires!”

Of course, there’s no way the real Han Byul could lift Yeon-woo.

In the scene that followed, unlike reality, Ella threw Do-jin with all her might, and Do-jin, flying at an incredible speed, finally arrived at the brain.

Surprisingly, there was nothing in the brain to stop Do-jin.

It looked like the interior of a futuristic spaceship, all white metal with grooves here and there.

“Now what am I supposed to do…?”

He had made it to the brain, but he didn’t know how to cure leukemia.

For most cancer patients, it was simply a matter of killing the problematic cancer cells.

However, the lymphocytic leukemia his sister had contracted was a disease where blood cells transform into cancer cells due to some abnormality and spread throughout the body through lymphocytes.

“So how am I supposed to fix this ‘unknown cause’?”

Cardiac had clearly said that he was the last spark that could save this body.

And he had also said not to be afraid, that fate would guide everything.

Do-jin started searching the vast space as if combing through it.

‘The answer must be in here somewhere!’

After searching for a while, Do-jin discovered a closed door.

From what he had seen while walking around, every part of this place was connected by open passages, but uniquely, this place had something that could be called a door.

The door was covered in all sorts of marks, as if someone had tried to force it open.

Scorch marks from fire, scratch marks as if someone had tried to carve it open with something.

Do-jin approached to examine these marks and ran his hand over the scratches.

Ziiing-.

Unexpectedly, the closed door opened automatically.

“Hm?”

As he entered the room, he saw a massive gray spiral staircase stretching endlessly upward, and in front of it, someone was lying down with their hand on their stomach.

They were dressed all in white, with brown hair and slightly taller than Ella.

The woman with gentle features had a blue glowing device attached to her ear.

Do-jin recognized her at a glance.

“…So you’re the narrator.”

He approached carefully and tried to shake her, but there was no response.

When he put his hand to her nose, he could feel faint breathing.

Fortunately, she wasn’t dead, but seemed to be in a deep sleep.

And behind her, he could see the massive spiral staircase unfurling.

The staircase that spiraled endlessly upward was so tall that its end couldn’t be seen from below.

‘This must be the answer.’

Judging from the marks on the door outside, it seemed the narrator had protected this space until the very last moment.

Or perhaps she had been alone here continuously for six years.

Do-jin approached the stairs.

As he got closer, he noticed an odd gap at the starting point of the stairs.

‘The width of that gap is just…’

As if possessed, Do-jin took out his sword and thrust it into the gap.

Sruuk-.

The sword slid in naturally, as if it had found its place.

And what he had thought was a spiral stone staircase began to emit light.

The light, which seemed as if it would devour everything, annihilated the gray dust covering it and began to shine even brighter.

Before he knew it, the spiral stone staircase was transforming into a shining double helix structure.

The shape of that spiral structure was unexpectedly familiar.

It was his sister’s DNA.

Only then did Do-jin realize everything.

‘…So that’s why Cardiac called it fate.’

It had been a journey where he needed to arrive here with both the sword and the jewels from the very beginning.

Do-jin, who had been swallowed by a dimensional rift while being chased from the castle, met Ella where he woke up.

The place where Do-jin and Ella crash-landed after riding the orbital elevator was Akhenaton’s kingdom.

They rode in Dipangdal’s taxi, and later, while traveling together in a small spaceship, only Do-jin fell when chased by the white blood cell fighters.

Thanks to that, he met Cardiac, and his companions climbed up to just in front of the brain faster than planned, as if being chased.

Do-jin returned to his companions, and the macrophages appeared at exactly that moment.

Do-jin, consumed by the macrophage swarm, happened to fall into the tear gland.

If even one of these events hadn’t occurred, it would have been meaningless even if he had arrived here.

Because.

“The sword and the jewels. Those four are the DNA base sequence.”

DNA is a structure composed of four bases in a linear arrangement.

Adenine, Guanine, Cytosine, Thymine.

If even one of AGCT is missing, it’s not DNA.

In the end, the powerful force mentioned in the literature the sage spoke of was the power to heal his sister’s DNA itself.

Dr. John, who had been watching the final episode throughout his lunch break, cheered.

“Yes! My prediction was right! I knew it!”

And at the same time, he got goosebumps.

“The story is like a finely woven silk from the first episode to the last…”

The lattice-structured story was all connected from beginning to end, with no unnecessary parts.

That’s where the fun of this work lay.

The real enjoyment comes when you watch it all from start to finish.

“And the protagonist who brings it all to life at 200 percent. Who on earth is that actor?”

John, being a movie buff, had seen “Sketch” too, but he couldn’t believe that actor was the same person as the current protagonist.

Although there was still a bit more of the ending left, John paused it for a moment and opened an internet browser.

His most time-consuming hobby and John’s other profession besides being an internist.

John Taylor was one of the few A-grade critics on Recomendar, the world’s largest review site.

After Do-jin finished the treatment by inserting the black sword, there was no longer any need to use the sword.

The white blood cells stopped their rampage and began to function properly.

Dipangdal found Emilyne.

Akhenaton succeeded the red blood cell king, who had already been killed by the white blood cells, and became the king of the Liver region.

And Ella was given the role of administrator by Cardiac, who was liberated from his eons-long life.

“But I don’t know how to do that!”

“You’ll have to adapt gradually now. I will assist you, Mother.”

“Uncle Akhenaton! Why do you keep calling me Mother!”

And the narrator is now fulfilling her original role.

Her true identity is the Unconscious.

Her job was to be asleep, and waking up was actually the wrong thing to do.

Looking at the narrator, Do-jin bowed his head.

“Thank you so much for being with me for six years, Narrator.”

Jung Do-jin returned to reality.

And his sister recovered at an unbelievably fast rate, her leukemia was cured, and she was soon discharged.

Even the hospital was amazed, saying it could only be explained as a miracle.

Everything was joyful.

But as days and months passed, an inexplicable feeling of emptiness grew.

He missed his comrades unbearably.

‘It’s quite funny.’

These so-called comrades were just cells in his sister’s body.

But that long and difficult journey would be unforgettable until the day he died.

And, a few months after the complete recovery, his sister fell ill with the flu.

“I told you not to sleep with wet hair. That’s why I always told you to take your vitamins when I gave them to you! That’s how you strengthen your immune system and avoid getting sick all the time. Right?”

His mother unleashed a barrage of nagging, but his sister, seemingly asleep from the medicine, didn’t respond.

“For goodness sake! Sigh, it’s my fault. I spoiled her too much as a late child.”

“I’ll keep a closer eye on her.”

“Huh, alright then.”

Do-jin fell into contemplation as he watched his sleeping sister.

Even if he were to go back in, the cells Do-jin knew would have long since disappeared.

Even Cardiac, who lived a life that felt like eons, only has a lifespan of about 120 days in real time.

The same goes for Ella, who inherited his role.

The others would have died long ago, needless to say.

But knowing all this, Do-jin was still entering the body again, just in case.

And as he closed his eyes, his conversation with Cardiac flashed through his mind.

– A few days? One second outside is almost a year here.

– Time doesn’t work that way.

And with the screen fading to black, all episodes of White Blood came to an end.

Clap, clap, clap—

Applause erupted in LN Entertainment’s main conference room.

It was a work with vast filming content and extremely high difficulty.

Everyone in the conference room had worked hard on it.

Meanwhile, at Snobbish Mount’s headquarters in Hollywood, Jake looked at Catherine with eyes that mixed slight dissatisfaction and expectation.

He thought that being so anxious about a series made in a small country on the periphery of Asia was clearly because Catherine hadn’t managed the promotion effectively.

But since he couldn’t behead a general who had just entered the battlefield, he was holding back for now.

On the other hand, he was looking forward to widening the gap even more as it was now time for English-speaking users to start their activities in earnest.

“…Um, sir. It seems the rankings have been updated.”

Jake’s eyes narrowed as he looked at the employee speaking hesitantly.

‘Did the gap not widen as much as I thought? It should have widened by at least 3,000 points.’

Jake sighed and said,

“Put it up on the screen.”

The employee then closed his eyes tightly and displayed the results on the screen.

1. White Blood [+1]
2. Alliance [-1]
3. C.A New Lawfirm [-]

“…Ah.”

“…….”

After a brief exclamation, silence immediately fell.

“What the hell is this.”

Jake’s face contorted severely.

And at that moment,

The internet in South Korea was turned upside down by one article.

– 「White Blood」 becomes the first Asian series to reach #1 on Netflix’s global rankings.
