Winter Rabbit in Wonderland

Chapter 93: Chapter 9 Ye SoYoon-8

Twins finished tying the jacket around her waist, looked up at her. SoYoon was looking down at them. Twins continued staring at her with a somewhat dazed expression. However, SoYoon coldly turned her body away from him and picked something up. Between her fingers was a thin golden strand.

Twins frowned at her. “Is that really important?”

She grabbed Alice by the hair as Twins turned around. Her face seemed to not realize even an ounce of how they felt. Sighing, he stood back up.

SoYoon lead the way as Twins followed behind her. Twins, looking down at Alice being dragged, asked her, “Why are you even bothering taking that thing?”

It was a fair question to ask, especially since he knew how SoYoon had ended up in this situation in the first place. However, SoYoon didn’t answer and continued to walk through the research facility. As they walked, the two of them felt the presence of several shuffling people.

Twins whispered to SoYoon, “I’ll…”

“Take good care of this.” SoYoon tossed Alice at Twins’s feet and ran out quickly.

Like a cat, she moved without making a sound as she turned the corner. Several researchers were hurriedly coming through the open door. The moment they did, SoYoon pushed through the closing door. As a consequence, the researchers who had been first to go through it fell on top of each other like dominoes.

“Ah, why are you pushing all of a sudden…! What, what!”

“Ack!”

The researchers who saw SoYoon gasped in fear. Through the surveillance cameras, they had been able to see the footage of her relentlessly killing all the researchers who got in her way. The only exit door was now closed, and SoYoon was standing in front of it. All of their eyes looked lost to desperation.

It didn’t take her even a full 10 minutes to kill all of them. The only survivor was a man in his 30s who’d fallen unconscious in the pool of blood.

SoYoon checked her surroundings. On top of the desk, some documents were splayed out all over the place. Familiar to her, they were Karte (medical records) and experiment reports.

She suddenly thought of Heart and scanned through them. Then she chose a couple of them and put them inside a bag that had been left abandoned next to the desk. She put the bag over her shoulder, then stepped on the stomach of the man who had fainted to wake him up.

“Wake up.”

“Cough cough…”

SoYoon had stepped lightly, but the moment the man opened his eyes, he started to cough violently. She grabbed him by the back of his neck and pulled him up, then dragged him over to the door.

He sputtered, choking, but she didn’t pay attention to it. When they arrived in front of the door, she tossed him aside and commanded him, “Open the door. Then I will let you live.”

“Will, will you really let me, live…”

“Open it,” SoYoon said with menace in her voice. Her robotic tone was scarier than if she had been angry. Not having much of a choice, the man opened the door, trembling.

By this time, Twins, having lost sight of SoYoon who’d gone inside, looked down at Alice at his feet. Due to the force of her being tossed to the ground, her eyelids fluttered as if she would soon wake up. He kicked her in the head to make her pass out again then stared at the door. Interestingly, the door didn’t have a handle. Twins kicked the door hard, but the door didn’t budge. They clicked their tongue.

After a couple of minutes, Twins felt a presence approaching from the end of the hallway. They were concentrating on it when he made eye contact with some of the experiments. The experiments, like SoYoon had been, were not clothed.

They were conversing among themselves when they turned to Twins. Twins tensed up and got himself ready to fight. Then the experiments stopped a few steps in front of Twins.

A few moments of silence passed until one girl asked, “Are you an intruder? Do you know Number 137?”

“…Who’s Number 137?”

“It’s a girl who’s short and has white hair… You’re a companion of hers, right?”

Twins looked at them suspiciously and nodded. Seeing that the man wore no clothes on his upper body and looked nothing like the researchers, the experiments concluded that Twins was not an enemy and slowly started to relax. But Twins, on the other hand, who had been beaten half to death by the other experiments a few hours ago, couldn’t help but keep up his guard.

Then, the door opened and SoYoon made an appearance. At that moment, the other experiments’ expressions brightened. Seeing that, Twins suddenly got in a sour mood and reached out his arm to her. As he did, SoYoon let herself be dragged over to him without resisting.

Having her in his arms, Twins looked through the door to find an unknown man inside it. He frowned.

“What’s that?”

The man had already been getting menacing stares from the other experiments. When Twins gave him his full attention, he looked at SoYoon as if pleading. She ignored the man. The man’s face instantly turned an ashen gray. “You said you will let me live…”

“Did I?”

That man and many other researchers had given hope to the experiments and then enjoyed their torment as they tore them down.

They’d given them the hope that the experimentation would soon end, that if the experiment was successful, they would be freed from the research facility. They’d given hope that their families would come to rescue them. But the experiments continued, and the repetition of it made the experimental subjects surrender in defeat. Unable even to commit suicide, they’d given up the concept of hope.

The person subjugated to her revenge became desperate and angry but it didn’t last long. The other experiments killed him viciously.

SoYoon slipped away from Twins’ embrace and walked toward the unconscious Alice. Twins was faster than her and he grabbed at a chunk of Alice’s gold hair. “We’ll do it.”

SoYoon nodded at the smiling prince-like face.

Not much time had passed before Twins regretted his decision to take on Alice. As they walked, SoYoon and the experiments sensed more researchers and charged inside.

Twins didn’t have much of a reaction when they were bashing open doors or releasing other experiment subjects. When the researchers started to attack using magic, his expression changed. Obviously, his facial expression was directly related to the magic’s use against SoYoon. He had been nervous about her safety. With a face that looked as if he didn’t care, he frowned and said to SoYoon, “Take this back.”

SoYoon, who was choking a researcher, looked at Twins. Twins tossed the body attached to the hair he had been gripping. But when SoYoon stepped out of the way, Alice thudded into the wall with a loud bang.

“Ow…” Alice whimpered quietly but didn’t wake up. Not knowing that Twins had knocked her out a second time, SoYoon thought that she was staying unconscious for an unusually long time.

After killing off the last of the researchers, she stepped towards Twins. In Twins’s eyes, the girl wearing his clothes looked many times more lovable than ever before. They swallowed hard.

“Wha, what?” he asked defensively. But only his tone was like that. If anyone heard, they would have known that she had taken him by surprise.

SoYoon tilted her head slightly. Is she doing that on purpose? Dee grumbled internally as Dum thought hard.

“You said you’d hold it for me.”

“I didn’t know you would be fighting your way through all over the place.”

SoYoon glanced over at Alice and Dum, a better conversationalist than Dee, answered for him. When Dum came to the surface, he examined SoYoon. Even if the barrier had been activated, you still wouldn’t know.

After making sure she was alright, Twins scanned over the fallen researchers who were still alive. Then he spotted the man who had attacked her with magic and shot lasers out of his blue eyes at him.

Twins swept the ends of his fingers softly over her cheek and walked towards the man, flipping him over by with the ends of his feet. As if in pain, the researcher whimpered as Twins lightly kicked his side. The shock of it made the researcher open his eyes and Twins smiled. If anyone who had known Twins had seen him at that moment, they would have bolted 100 meters away at that very instant.

Twins placed his feet on the researcher’s chest and pressed down. With the sound of breaking bones, the researcher’s chest collapsed. Twins looked down at the screaming researcher, this time stepping on his elbow and causing the joint to shatter. Then he stepped on his knee and stared down at the trembling researcher. “I’ve never had the urge to eat a man before.”

The researcher, who had been focusing all his concentration on Twins, opened his eyes wide. He didn’t even want to think what the word eat meant in this situation. He soon heard his teeth clamp together.

“But it looks like I will enjoy eating you a lot. Don’t you think?”

Twins smiled widely. His thick pink lips curved into a large grin that showed his perfectly straight teeth. His handsome features made his smiling face look magnificent, but in the researcher’s eyes, he looked like a monster. The researcher flailed around desperately, causing his broken ribs to puncture his intestines and making him faint from going into shock.

“I wouldn’t eat something like you if I was starving.”
