Behind you, ghost

Episode 15_Unknown Identity (1)

The next day_

이 율

Yawn...

김남준

Did you wake up?

이 율

Yeah... Oh~ Morning coffee?

김남준

Yeah lol

이 율

Ah, today is the day I'm scheduled to go to the autopsy room, right?

김남준

Yeah haha

김남준

Shall I get ready?

이 율

Already? It's 10 o'clock?

김남준

I have to hurry. It's right by the road, so the traffic gets congested quickly.

이 율

Wait, but which autopsy room?

김남준

Forensic science team

김남준

An unidentified body arrived, and they asked me to perform an autopsy.

이 율

Did you learn anatomy?

김남준

huh

김남준

I used to perform autopsies with that friend.

김남준

I received the autopsy report and decided to do it just for today.

이 율

ah...

이 율

Okay, I'll go get dressed.

김남준

Uh oh, me too.

Yul and Namjoon got ready and got into the car.

widely_

김남준

Buckle up!

이 율

Yeah haha

김남준

You packed the talisman and the lighter, right?

이 율

Uh, but since it's an autopsy room, it's a bit... to light a fire.

김남준

It's okay, it doesn't matter.

이 율

Yeah, I get it haha

Namjoon gently placed his hand over Yul's hand, which had been carelessly set down.

이 율

*Startled* What? lol

김남준

No... just... since... we're lovers now...

Namjoon's words grew softer and softer.

이 율

Lol hey hey green light, Excel Excel!

김남준

Uh oh

Namjoon hurriedly stepped on the accelerator and drove straight ahead.

김남준

Hey, and I'm older than you, so how long are you going to keep calling me 'hey'?

이 율

I don't know, that's more comfortable, oppa.

김남준

Haha, whatever.

After running for another 20 minutes like that

I arrived at the forensic science building.

김남준

wait for a sec,

이 율

Uh oh

Turrr_

김남준

-Hey, come down

-"yep"

이 율

Are they coming down?

김남준

Uh haha

After about two minutes

김석진

Hey hey-

김남준

Oh, long time no see.

이 율

*bows* Hello haha

김석진

Uh, Namjoon's girlfriend?

이 율

Ah...

김남준

Yeah, that's right.

김석진

Lol lol

김남준

Ah, the corpse

김석진

Yeah, it's down there.

김석진

Let's go down together

김남준

okay

김석진

But... your girlfriend...

이 율

I'll go with you, too. I'm an exorcist, too... haha.

김석진

Oh, really?

Namjoon and Yul took the elevator to the autopsy room, supported by Seokjin.

Zing_

김석진

Ah, hey, how have you been lately?

김남준

Well, I just live helping my girlfriend with work and catching ghosts.

김석진

Oh, what are you doing?

이 율

I'm the cafe owner and the building owner haha.

김남준

What? You were the building owner?

이 율

Oh, that cafe building is mine.

김남준

If it weren't for the commercial building, would you bite?

이 율

That's a question. Everything, including the cafe and the officetel.

김석진

Wow... nouveau riche...?

이 율

Ah, haha, everyone does call it that, though.

김석진

Oh~

김석진

Ah. The corpses here

김남준

Ah, are there a total of 4?

김석진

huh

김석진

A fire broke out in a house, and it was so big that the roof completely melted away.

Seokjin took out three corpses while speaking.

김석진

So, the three bodies rescued after putting out the fire in the house

김석진

Dad, Mom, and Daughter

김남준

Uh... but what about Korea?

김석진

Listen to me

김석진

And I looked around more to see if anyone was hiding in the closet or under the desk.

김석진

Under the floor of the house

김석진

Another body was discovered.

Seokjin brought out another corpse from the morgue.

김석진

Here is the corpse.

김남준

...huh?

이 율

It’s hard to believe it’s a body found in a house that caught fire...

김석진

It's so clean, isn't it?

김석진

That's the even stranger part.

김석진

and

김석진

This body is unidentified.

김남준

Unidentified?

김석진

There is no genetic evidence left behind, and fingerprints or hair cannot be tested either.

김석진

They are neither relatives nor acquaintances.

김남준

hmm..

김석진

And there are more than a few strange things.

김석진

This whole family died of suffocation because of the fire.

Seokjin brought tongs and peeled off the skin from the chest of the corpse.

이 율

Ugh...

김남준

If it's hard to see, turn your back.

이 율

are you okay

김석진

So that's why the lungs are black?

김석진

But this wouldn't matter, another organ ruptured.

김남준

what?

김석진

My skin melted a bit because of the fire, but there are no puncture wounds, and it is very clean.

김석진

But, the large intestine and the heart are all ruptured and damaged.

김석진

All three of these corpses

이 율

....how..

김석진

And this unidentified corpse is

김석진

My skin is also clear

김석진

Nothing left in the burnt area

김석진

But like these corpses, the organs were completely ruptured.

김석진

and...

김석진

The blood won't clot

김남준

what?

김석진

Even though it is a corpse, the blood does not clot.

※ When a person dies, the heart stops beating, so the blood pools and clots, becoming sticky.

김석진

Up until yesterday, I had a nosebleed and when I cut the skin, blood spurted out.

김남준

...

이 율

wait a minute

Yul snatched the tongs from Seokjin's hand and lifted up the unidentified corpse.

이 율

... heart.. liver.. large intestine.. small intestine..

김석진

The kidneys and gallbladder here are also completely ruptured.

김석진

But the outside is really clean.

김남준

Why?

김석진

So...

김석진

But what's even more creepy is

이 율

The corpse... is warm

김석진

That's right, the corpse isn't cold.

When a person dies, blood stops circulating, so the temperature cannot be controlled; therefore, the autopsy room lowers the temperature to prevent the corpse from decomposing quickly.

김석진

The temperature was below minus 10 degrees before these corpses came in.

김석진

Since this body came in, the autopsy room hasn't dropped below minus 3 degrees.

김남준

...then..

이 율

If the blood doesn't clot and the body stays warm...

김석진

Theoretically, this corpse isn't dead.

No sooner had Seokjin finished speaking than the power went out in the autopsy room.

widely_

Wiiiing

And suddenly, the sound of the air conditioning running got louder, and the temperature dropped in an instant.

이 율

Sob...

김석진

What... the temperature... minus 17 degrees...

이 율

It's cold... *sob*...

김남준

Don't be surprised, it's me

Namjoon gently hugged Yul.

이 율

Ugh...

김석진

wait for a sec...

김석진

The door won't open!

이 율

...Ah...ugh!!

김남준

Where is it... I'll do it.

이 율

...behind your friend..

김남준

slap_)

As Namjoon turned his head toward Seokjin

"Ugh..."

A chilling hand rises onto Seokjin's shoulder.

김남준

Lighter and talisman

이 율

In my pocket..

Namjoon took out the lighter and talisman from Yul's pocket, took off his own jacket, and covered him with it.

김남준

Don't fall down

이 율

Uh-huh...

Namjoon lights the talisman, attaches it to the forehead of the ghost grinning creepily behind Seokjin, and shouts.

김남준

Exorcist Kim Nam-joon, Ascends Evil Spirits to Heaven

The burning talisman enveloped the ghost and blazed even brighter, then the fire died down, leaving only the red writing behind.

The unidentified body vanished without a trace, the remaining three bodies returned to normal except for their blackened lungs, and the temperature in the autopsy room also returned to minus 10 degrees.

이 율

Hmmm...

김석진

...What is that one corpse...

김남준

To the sky

김남준

You figure out how to use the rest of the corpses.

김석진

okay

김석진

Still, since we haven't seen each other in a while, shall we have a meal together?

김남준

Yeah, haha.

김남준

are you okay?

이 율

Hmm

김석진

Then let's go haha

There haven't been enough updates lately, so I'm pouring my heart and soul into this post today.
