Chapter 58: [58] Code: XTK [5]
"This pig bastard... he used Toxid."
Hyunji spat out the words.
Toxid is a drug in this world. It's a type of drug injected directly into the bloodstream. One of the most potent drugs in this world. It offers both euphoria and high addictiveness, and while the effects are minimal, it also enhances physical strength.
If you're lucky and your body is compatible with Toxid, you might even rejuvenate.
The problem is the side effects of Toxid. Beyond a certain threshold, Toxid triggers Bioforce in the body.
'There's almost a 90% chance of side effects. And the remaining 10%... you become a mutant.'
If successful, you become a mutant. And there's a high chance your body will rejuvenate. On the other hand, if you fail, you end up like Mok Sinsu in front of us—a monstrous body. You become a creature worse than a stray dog.
I glanced at Hyunji's profile. In the original story, Hyunji's older sister died after becoming a monster due to the side effects of Toxid.
"Ughhh..."
Mok Sinsu staggered to his feet. Yoo Geun-tae and I instinctively stepped back. His appearance was too repulsive. His bulging belly revealed his intestines, and foul-smelling fluid dripped from his neck.
"Ugh! Damn, he looks disgusting! Hyunji, move! We need to burn that thing! Cremating it is for the sake of humanity!"
"I'll kill him."
