Dowook was standing on the entrance of a college positioned within the Nowon District.

[The 62nd specialist written exam]

[We wish you success in your chosen department. President of the Korean Medical Association]

The wording on the bulletin board was easy, however the which means of this check to a health care provider was very particular.

It was the final gateway earlier than saying goodbye to the tedious examination that lasted for a complete of 11 years from medical faculty to the completion of residency.

Dowook walked within the path of the check web site indicated by the arrow, and noticed the quite a few residents from all around the nation.

Everybody appeared relieved.

He additionally felt how a lot he had grown as a human being naturally discovered after rolling round for 4 years in his division. Judging by the tingling in his fingertips, a few of the individuals right here had already developed their very own medical sense.

‘Which division are they from? It isn’t an excessive amount of stimulation, but when it is already like this, it is wonderful. The world is large.’

Dowook scattered the senses of others that flooded his fingers and checked out his palms.

Contemplating the expertise collected in massive and small surgical procedures over the previous few months, it was in all probability denser than any surgeon gathered at present. The issue was that nobody might objectively grasp how a lot expertise it was.

In entrance of the constructing the place he had arrived, there was one other signal indicating the check space for every division.

Dowook got here nearer to the neurosurgery check’s room, and he heard a well-recognized voice coming from close by.

“… Uh, honey. In fact. The passing price of the specialist examination is 95%. Let’s watch a film after this. What ought to we watch? Hero League? Is that enjoyable? It is so in style nowadays.”

Eyes that look assured with angled glasses. It was Ahn Hyung-soo, a graduate of Myeong Sae Medical College.

“Hyung-soo.”

“Huh?”

Ahn Hyung-soo, who obtained off his cellphone, checked out Dowook.

“Oh? Hey, Park Dowook!”

Of the three,000 medical doctors taking the specialist examination, roughly 100 have been from the identical medical faculty. If nothing had occurred to them within the interim, the likelihood of encountering them at present was very excessive.

Ahn Hyung-soo grabbed his hand and shook it as he requested.

“What number of years has it been? 6 years?”

“I suppose it has been that lengthy.”

“I used to be frightened after I heard you have been going to a tough division. I assumed you selected it since you did not wish to compete. However you in all probability survived since I am seeing you right here, proper?”

Ahn Hyung-soo, who smiled and talked about his internship, was an elite who had by no means missed the highest.

Particularly, his memorization ability was higher than most. Subsequently, he entered AN Hospital, the undisputed No. 1 among the many Massive 5, and selected to turn out to be an orthopedic surgeon when the competitors in that division was fierce.

“How have you ever been? Say one thing.”

“It is simply…”

“In the event you get a specialist’s license, will you keep on the hospital? Or, open a enterprise? Today, hospitals specializing in spinal surgical procedure have loads of demand for neurosurgery. My father-in-law additionally mentioned he would open a enterprise for me, however I’ve to do a fellowship to formally put up an AN hospital signal. It isn’t the identical as earlier than.”

Though they’d labored collectively usually, Dowook wasn’t very near Ahn Hyung-soo, so there was nothing a lot to share. Identical to then, he was displaying off.

After listening to him for a couple of minutes after assembly for the primary time in six years, Dowook slowly measured the time to enter the check web site.

“We have now a resident quota of 8 this 12 months, and 17 candidates flocked. The best competitors price ever. As the typical life expectancy will increase, the mildew retains popping up. What number of did you get?”

Dowook had by no means requested, so he texted Nam Hana for a second. He thought he ought to reply this and depart.

As he was ready for the reply.

“Huh? Aren’t you Park Dowook?”

When he turned his head on the sudden voice, he noticed a person he had by no means seen earlier than. There have been 4 extra individuals subsequent to the person.

“Who…”

Dowook did not bear in mind, however he puzzled if it was one of many seniors and juniors he’d encountered at college, however the different man revealed his identification first.

“We’re neurosurgery residents from Hansung College. My identify is Jung Jongsun. I am unable to imagine I am assembly you in particular person. Oh my god.”

Whereas shaking palms with Jeong Jong-seon, the 4 individuals standing collectively bowed their heads to Dowook.

“Whereas learning, we dug into your instances quite a bit. I am anticipating a query about them on this specialist examination. You understand the Park Dowook knot? I heard you practiced hundreds of occasions. Is {that a} ability that you are able to do after some observe? It is fascinating even after I watch the video.”

“Uh…”

Prof. Choi was glad after working towards it 3,000 occasions. Would not an strange surgeon must do it no less than 10,000 occasions earlier than they may carry out it at an appropriate stage?

Dowook couldn’t bear to share this merciless actuality to the young-looking dreamers.

“In fact. You simply must observe. Effort by no means betrays you.”

“I did not know I would take the examination in the identical room as somebody whose instances can be within the examination. Proper. When is Tom Model’s surgical procedure? Our chief additionally mentioned that the appliance for commentary was minimize off. I will attempt to get a video later.”

“It is scheduled for subsequent week.”

“I am actually trying ahead to it. I spent an excessive amount of of your time. Anyway, it was an honor.”

After Jung Jong-sun bowed his head to Dowook repeatedly, he disappeared into the check web site.

Ahn Hyung-soo, who was watching the state of affairs immediately, requested with a stunned face.

“What’s he saying? Your case? Do you even function?”

“I went in quite a bit lately.”

“What does Tom Model imply? You are not speaking in regards to the Hero League star, are you? The actor who mentioned he was off work for some time because of a mind tumor.”

“Properly, it is an official announcement, so I will not deny it. That is proper. Tom Model.”

Ahn Hyung-soo’s speech decreased sharply.

“Oh, I obtained a textual content from our division’s resident chief. Candidates for our division…… Huh?”

Dowook learn the textual content once more.

“What’s improper? There’s none”.

“There are 32 individuals. There are solely 4 positions. What is the competitors price?”

Ahn Hyung-soo’s shoulder, which had hardened as if it had turn out to be a stone statue, was gently tapped.

“It was good to see you after a very long time. Good luck in your check.”

“Uh….”

Dowook disappeared, and Ahn Hyung-soo shortly opened his cellphone and looked for “Park Dowook at Myeong Sae Hospital.”

And the articles that got here out.

Ahn Hyung-soo, who was scrolling via them, had no selection however to sigh at numerous information. Within the area of neurosurgery, Park Dowook was already well-known as a high genius surgeon.

How might he brag in entrance of such an individual? How embarrassing was that?

The specialist check, which started at 9 o’clock, was a written check with a complete of 200 questions taken over 4 hours.

There was a 20-minute break within the center, however there was no time for dinner, so by the point Dowook left the check web site, he was very hungry.

As he left the hallway, Dowook checked out his cellphone clock and it was 1:40 p.m.

‘It was simpler than I assumed.’

As Jung Jong-sun mentioned when he got here in, the case the place he was actually concerned additionally got here out as an issue.

A case of the bus driver who made headlines socially. The neurosurgery area, related to a number of accidents, was not the one drawback that wanted in-depth rationalization.

‘Anyway, that is in all probability what a pie falling from the sky means, proper?’

“Wow. What’s improper with the issue stage? There have been lots of people who will fail this 12 months.”

“Proper? Did they should make the neurosurgery exams so troublesome? The professors are an excessive amount of.”

Dowook was embarrassed by the dialog of some medical doctors grumbling as he handed by and needed to scratch his cheek. Assessments have been relative.

He was strolling towards a close-by college restaurant to eat first, when his cellphone rang.

It was an unfamiliar identify on the display. Nonetheless, it was additionally a reputation that Dowook was ready for.

“That is Park Dowook.”

– I am sorry for the delay in contacting you. We’re going again to Seoul. Do you could have time at present? It is laborious to satisfy on different days as a result of I haven’t got a lot time.

“What time will you arrive?”

Dr. Ji Gang Cheol was dropped at the emergency room whereas learning the particular sense. This was the assistant who carried out the analysis with him.

After Dowook obtained off his cellphone, he grew to become busy.

Simply as he completed the specialist examination simply at present, the thriller of his particular sense could also be neatly organized.

4pm. Tong-il Street.

Dowook obtained out of the taxi and turned to the area lined with buildings.

A large street connecting Seodaemun Station and Seoul Station.

Someplace right here, Dr. Ji Gang Cheol’s Mind Neurology Analysis Middle was positioned.

‘It’s on the seventh flooring of Seonhwa Constructing.’

After strolling a block whereas checking the cell phone map, the vacation spot appeared. When Dowook entered the constructing and obtained on the elevator, he felt unexpectedly tense.

Lastly, he would meet the events associated to the examine.

For months, he’d accomplished a lot with this capacity.

If he might perceive the mechanism of utilizing the particular sense extra precisely, he would be capable of plan his life in earnest as a surgeon. Since he would know if this capacity was everlasting or not.

Ding.

Getting into the hallway with excessive expectations, Dowook grew to become silent on the sight in entrance of him.

“What’s this?”

A unclean signal that displayed neglect. All of the lights have been turned off within the hallway and the glass door was extensive open, making a bleak ambiance.

There have been nonetheless about 10 minutes left till 4:30 p.m., the appointment time, so Dowook appeared inside.

It was known as a analysis middle, however there have been solely dusty desks and doc containers inside. Even these had foreclosures tags on them.

“I suppose it has been a very long time since they’ve failed.”

The looks of Ji Gang Cheol that day was not superb both.

If Ji Gang Cheol’s particular sense examine within the video was profitable, he would have been an enormous success. It was a capability that anybody would wish to have even at the price of their complete fortune.

There was nothing else to have a look at so Dowook went out to the corridor and he noticed the elevator door opening.

An individual walked out.

It was a middle-aged man who was half-bald and appeared very haggard.

“Dr. Na Dong-gyu?”

“Are you Park Dowook?”

Dowook nodded and approached. Na Dong-gyu approached him and appeared across the hallway. Like somebody was chasing him.

Standing shut, Na Dong-gyu instantly requested.

“Dr. Ji, you mentioned he had an extended needle in his head when he arrived on the hospital.”

“Oh, sure.”

“Was he able to speech when he arrived?”

“No, in no way.”

“The needle. Did you deliver it?”

Dowook took out a field for storing medical instruments from the bag he had on his shoulder.

The needle that Ji Gang Cheol left within the lavatory and was discovered by Seong Chang Soo. It was positioned within the warehouse of the medical workplace.

“Right here you go.”

“Thanks. Thanks on your laborious work.”

Na Dong-gyu, who grabbed the field, went into the analysis middle. He appeared to be in a rush, so Dowook adopted him quietly.

Na Dong-gyu stopped in entrance of a closed protected and inputted the unique password.

All of a sudden, the door opened.

Na Dong-gyu, who took out a computer-sized black machine filled with wire strands from inside, put it on a dusty desk and turned on the swap.

The needle was related to the working machine which made a buzzing motor sound as if it was working on a battery.

The needle was hooked up to an electrical cable.

Na Dong-gyu rigorously hung it on the highest of the machine.

Bzzzzt.

A blue flash appeared earlier than shortly disappearing on the finish of the needle.

Dowook flinched, however Na Dong-gyu sighed with aid as if he had anticipated it.

“It is working. Phew, thank god it’s nonetheless working.”

“I suppose that machine is the rationale he was introduced into the hospital?”

When Dowook spoke to him, Na Dong-gyu turned his head in shock.

“Oh, why are you continue to right here?”

“I am additionally concerned within the disappearance of Dr. Ji. I’ve a couple of questions.”

Checking the machine, Na Dong-gyu replied shortly.

“Then ask.”

“What’s this needle?”

“It stimulates the vestibular nerve at a selected frequency. The tip is nano-processed, so it might probably transmit alerts on to neurons.”

“The vestibular nerve is a delicate place the place paralysis signs happen even with weak stimuli…”

Na Dong-gyu’s gaze shortly turned because of Dowook’s murmured phrases.

“You mentioned you have been a neurosurgeon, proper?”

“Sure.”

“That is proper. Dr. Ji’s analysis failed. The three topics who participated within the examine are nonetheless affected by everlasting side-effects. As you possibly can see, the middle is at this level.”

“Then, the place is Dr. Ji?”

“How would I do know? If I knew, the debtors would not have come to me. This machine was offered to a different laboratory to boost funds. How a lot is the price of remedy that Dr. Ji didn’t pay?”

Dowook waved his hand saying it was okay. As a result of it was already taken care of with the loss course of.

Dowook requested Na Dong-gyu, who continued to test the tools, in a cautious tone.

“About Dr. Ji’s analysis. Is there no probability of success?”

Na Dong-gyu, who was making ready for the second test, laughed at his phrases.

“By no means. Have you learnt who Dr. Ji respects probably the most?”

Na Dong-gyu pointed to a plaster statue mendacity on a cupboard.

“Democritus. A person with a Neurology doctorate, who must be logical, believed in a thinker who talked about metaphysics unrelated to science. This examine was inconceivable to ascertain within the first place. Traders and researchers who participated in it have been additionally fooled.”

Dowook turned to a plaster statue at Na Dong-gyu’s destructive feedback. A phrase was written below the plaster with a pink foreclosures label caught to it.

[Awareness through the senses is a change that occurs when a soul’s atoms come into contact with an external atom. – Democritus]

It actually did not appear lifelike.

“However. Is there any probability that you could succeed by probability?”

“Is it since you’re a neurosurgeon? You are very . Are you able to see this?”

On the finish of the needle hooked up to the machine, flashes of sunshine appeared.

“It is merely suicide to place it in your head. The human mind cannot deal with the amplitude of this supercurrent within the first place. It is higher to extend the output and use it for natural chemistry analysis.”

When Na Dong-gyu operated the system to boost the voltage, the flash grew to become brighter.

Dowook was watching out of curiosity when he out of the blue recalled what occurred a couple of months in the past when Ji Gang Cheol grabbed his wrist.

The flash he’d witnessed at the moment was just like that colour.

Tingle.

“Huh?”

His wrist out of the blue began to tingle and turn out to be numb.

Then

The flash dancing on the machine out of the blue moved to Dowook’s fingertips.

“Huh?”

Whoooong一 thud.

The flash disappeared as if it had been absorbed, and the machine stopped working directly. Na Dong-gyu, who was checking the principle manipulator, appeared surprisingly at Dowook who had swollen eyes.

“What’s improper with you? It stopped as a result of it did not have sufficient energy.”

“It is…”

Dowook felt a tingling power digging into his physique and regularly dispersing all through his neural circuit. What sort of phenomenon was this?

“What a curious physician.”

Na Dong-gyu opened the drawer and located a booklet. He handed it to Dowook who was standing in a daze.

“Right here. I’ve seen lots of people turn out to be on this paper. I’ll provide you with this and we’ll say it’s cost for Dr. Ji’s hospital payments and the nuisance he made at your hospital. Learn it and tear it aside if it appears like nonsense.”

On high of the dusty file iron, the title “Sensory Tuning and Growth Switch” was seen.
