[■■■ – KR – 2][Meat Chunk that Continuously ■■■■]
[Current Status]
[Erased]
Date of Erasure: 2■■■. ■. ■.
Confirmed to have been completely erased after being absorbed by ■■■■ – KR (Jelly composed of ■■■■ -> Girl made of Jelly (modified according to the suggestion of Han Seori, PhD)).
This was a Singularity in the form of canned goods secured during what is called the interwar period after the First Great War; however, it was altered to a state where meat chunks were continuously ■■■■ after being opened with an ordinary ‘can opener’.
Following discussions and experiments regarding the disposal of the expanding meat chunks, the ■■ facility was established, and it was ■■■■ in a ■■ form.
– Refer to the experiment records previously written for related materials.
For ■■■■ days, it did not cause any particular issues but on 2■■■ year ■ month ■ day, it induced the following conditions in those who consumed it.
Phase 1: One feels boredom and annoyance. Seized with an intense desire to rest but can escape on one’s own through external stimuli.
Phase 2: A feeling of lethargy incomparable to Phase 1, along with a loss of motivation. Once this stage is reached, it is impossible to escape even through external stimuli; individuals exhibit a tendency to become fixated on items made from ■■■ – KR – 2.
Phase 3: Completely losing one’s senses, one becomes willing to use any means to approach ■■■ – KR – 2. There is no known information on what happens after successfully making contact with ■■■ – KR – 2 as no one has ever succeeded.
In the process of reaching Phase 3, concern arose that the location of the research lab within the ■■ factory might be exposed, leading to plans to relocate to ■■.
A peculiar commonality was discovered among those who reached Phases 2 and 3. The conversation record of an agent from the ■■ branch who reached Phase 2 is attached as reference material.
– [Agent Kim Cheon-soo Conversation Record]
Dr. Han Seori: It’s been a while. Are you feeling alright?
Agent Kim Cheon-soo: Thanks to your concern, I seem fine.
Dr. Han Seori: That’s good to hear. But there’s something I want to ask… Agent Kim Cheon-soo, what did you say you saw while in that state?
Agent Kim Cheon-soo: Can’t you ask someone else instead of me…?
Dr. Han Seori: Isn’t this better than going to carry out the relocation work at the ■■ research lab?
Unnecessary conversation judged and deleted.
Agent Kim Cheon-soo: While in that state… I had the thought of wanting to eat ■■■■ and then it became dark in front of my eyes. It was like a dream. Even in the dream, I had the same desire to eat ■■■■. While dreaming such dreams that I couldn’t wake up from… Suddenly, something blue appeared.
Dr. Han Seori: Blue? Can you describe it more specifically?
In this process, Agent Kim Cheon-soo attempted to retract his statement but was persuaded by Dr. Han Seori to speak.
Agent Kim Cheon-soo: …Something completely blue appeared and hugged me… and then I regained consciousness. That’s… everything. Really.
Dr. Han Seori: That doesn’t sound like anything extraordinary, so why were you so reluctant? Anyway, something blue… Could you describe it more in detail?
Agent Kim Cheon-soo: Um, it looked like… something similar to ■■■■ – KR…
Dr. Han Seori: I hope it’s not what I’m thinking of.
Afterward, the dialogue was reviewed and censored at the request of the individual.
[Agent Kim Cheon-soo Conversation Record End.]
Individuals who consumed enough to reach Phase 2 stated they saw a ‘blue’ something just before regaining consciousness.
While the identity of ‘something’ has not been clearly determined, it is highly likely that it could be related to a person who consumed ■■■ – KR – 2.
Consequently, memory erasure was carried out as there seemed to be a need to erase the memories of those who consumed and witnessed ‘something,’ but it ultimately failed.
– Before conducting widespread memory erasure, a check on the agent from the ■■ branch proved that the memory of the dreamlike ‘something’ remained unerased.
– Further erasure was halted as the agent’s condition visibly deteriorated, making additional experiments impossible.
– Other than Agent Kim Cheon-soo, most individuals had vague memories, so it was decided to keep observing.
Additionally, when ■■■ – KR – 2 was erased, the meat chunks inside the ■■ lab transformed into ordinary chunks of unknown composition.
There was debate during the process of handling the remaining ■■■■, but it was decided to recover all those that had been released into the market and dispose of them.
Subsequently, the risk rating of ■■■ – KR – 2 was changed from ■■■■ to non-existent (eradicated).

Boil, bubble, boil, bubble… It feels like I’m boiling.
Actually, although I’ve said I’ve slept until now, I haven’t had any dreams while sleeping.
Hmm, well, when I was human, I had plenty, but ever since I became Jelly, I haven’t had any dreams worth mentioning.
But what I’m seeing now… perhaps it is a dream.
The can of food that I ate is floating in front of me.
From the empty can… for some strange reason, it felt extremely dissatisfied.
I was sure when I last heard its voice, it sounded content, so maybe its grumpiness is why I’m having this dream.
Anyway.
I can do whatever I want in my dream, right?
…Feeling just a touch annoyed, I grabbed the can and tossed it to the ground.
Had I met it outside, it would’ve been different, but if it comes into my dream, shouldn’t it naturally crawl on its belly like it’s supposed to?
Whooom~ The can rolled around pitifully on the floor and limped along.
Feeling like kicking a ball I hadn’t in a long while, I gave it a few hearty kicks, and something like my inner self emerged.
I felt an inexplicable sense of freshness while kicking the rolling can around, when…
Puff! The rolling can slowly melted and disappeared.
…Cowardly thing!
Thinking that the can had fled, I swung my Jelly angrily…
Swinging Jelly…
I woke up from the dream.
Kerplop!
Something hit my Jelly and collapsed heavily onto my body.
Drowsily blinking my hazy vision, I remembered the scene just before I fell asleep.
…Sosik was looking at me with a sinister smirk.
Despite it being unnatural for an ordinary Jelly to have such an expression, it felt that way to me, so what can you do?
Anyway.
I supposed it must have been Sosik getting thrown by my Jelly and sprawled out.
However,
Something was off.
Bubble, bubble.
Whatever it was, it wasn’t really Sosik… or maybe it was Sosik?
I’m confused.
A small girl was lying on my belly,
A small, bluish girl that resembled me, lying there, bored with everything while wriggling her body.
In the middle of my confusion, I decided it must be Sosik because when I poked her head…
…From behind her back, a tentacle, which I’ve seen many times somewhere, stretched out, wriggling and pushed my hand away.
Gazing dazedly at it, I chuckled and sat up on the bed, and the thing on my stomach slid down with a slop.
Eventually, as if saying “good job,” Sosik extended her tentacles and pulled the blanket I was using over her body.
But no way, that’s not happening.
I extended my Jelly to pull the blanket away, and then grabbed the thing assumed to be Sosik.
It was very small but definitely formed in a way reminiscent of me.
Lifting it by its armpits, it stretched like a cat, arching its back.
It wasn’t so much stretching as wanting to touch the bed.
While trying to pull her hand off with her tentacles, it seemed like Sosik, which made me think,
Suddenly, why did this happen,
…and why does everything seem so unbearably bothersome?
While observing it as I held it up, Daesik (inside Alice) who had been sprawled nearby, stirred and got up,
The risen figure lifted Alice’s head and looked at Sosik.
Startled!
The reaction, rather, the figurine-like rigidity of Daesik told me he was shocked.
Although I couldn’t see Daesik’s expression or his original form, he obviously seemed startled.
…Could he be envious?
Living inside Alice… it might not just be about finding stability there.
Then, the suddenly collected figure clung to my waist and tapped me with what was Alice’s hand.
As if asking to be transformed the same way.
…That would be quite difficult,
since I, myself, woke up this morning to find Sosik already like this.
Daesik clinging to me tapped my waist.
The Sosik in my hand had seemingly given up, and just hung limply in my Jelly grip.
Maybe… Am I still dreaming?
A dream within a dream.
This scene feels like an ominous nightmare but might still be a dream.
However, the sensation of Daesik tapping me is too vivid.
Then,
“Mr. Kim Cheon-soo. Didn’t I tell you not to come here?”
“No, but, Dr. Han Seori, it wasn’t really like that?”
“…”
Kim Cheon-soo and Han Seori entered, a little more energetic than last time.
Han Seori was holding a tray with food stacked on it,
Clang!
Seeing me, Han Seori dropped the tray and opened her mouth.
Beside her, Kim Cheon-soo also looked startled, alternating glances between me and Sosik.
Soon, Han Seori glanced back and forth between Kim Cheon-soo and me, and her expression revealed an indescribable feeling.
…Something is wrong.
