A crowd of journalists was seen in a futuristic minimalist two-story building in the Nowon-gu area of Seoul that morning. Inside the building there are dozens of paintings from various streams displayed neatly. The paintings surround the invitations sitting on silver chairs with artistic carvings of natural elements. Meanwhile, outside the building lined up dozens of luxury cars and wreaths inscribed with congratulations on the opening of an art gallery. Ten Lee Art Galery, the name of the art gallery. Is a famous painting gallery in Asia that has just spread its wings in South Korea. The artworks displayed in the gallery have qualities and styles that follow the development of time, and the needs of the market without putting aside their primary essence and functionality.
The sound of applause was so loud that a man around 30 years old was wearing pants
jeans, white shirts, black blazers, and brown berets on his head climbed onto the podium. He took a large scissor, cut a gold ribbon in front of him, the sign of the art gallery was officially opened.
“With this, I declare that Ten Lee Art Galery Korea officially opened. Hopefully in the future this gallery can be a medium of art appreciation for the South Korean public.”
His smile broadened towards the audience, dashed with a more resounding clap. The flash of camera light that accompanies journalists to photograph the figure of a handsome Korean-French man was even more intense. Ten Lee, the owner of the gallery. Ten is a gallery owner and a gothic painter who has been active in creating art for the past decade.
“Thanks to the fellow artists, curators, universities, and governments who have taken the time to attend today. Besides—” Ten cut his words, He seemed to bow his head and sigh deeply. The water of his face turned a little sad.
“I personally feel sorry for the Daegu International School mass death incident that has been taking a lot of public attention lately. Hopefully this case soon finds common ground, and the families of the victims are given fortitude. I am pleased to withdraw, happy to enjoy the next series of events. Thanks!” he closed the speech.
Ten got off the podium with his smile that always led to the camera. He was walking towards a bright blue Audi Q7 in front of the lobby. Ten opened the front passenger door of the car. Shortly after, the car drove away from the gallery area as well as the inauguration place earlier.
“Say, what do you want?” ten asked in a cynical tone to the woman next to him who was driving, a few minutes after they just remained silent.
“What do you mean Brother?”
“Tumben once You bother coming to Korea, pick me up anyway.”
“I just want to see this side activity of yours. It turns out you are cool too.” he replied while anchoring one end of his lips.
“Of course, I have to build a good image in my research place ‘kan?” Ten shrugged both of his shoulders a sign of bragging.
“Haha. Your acting, I hope you get an Oscar this year.”
“Hey Lalisa, did you forget I ever canceled my debut as an actor in France?” ten said still with a tone of pride in his sister's question.
“Forget your bullshit Brother. We need to get back as soon as possible, and next time can you reduce your habit of disappearing? There's a mess in the molecular lab, and you're not there. Ck, troublesome.”
“You think I have no other business than my side activities here?” abugn. Ten then leaned his head against the back of the chair.
“Eric Sohn, the man acted.” Ten continued. There was shock in Lalisa's expression.
“What did you do to him? He's your close associate”
“Do you think?”

Someone with a hoverboard drove over the marble floor of a mediterranean-concept mansion that morning. He drove with a big smile while listening to the classical music from the wireless headset on
her ear. For three days he did not set foot in his place of work. A little exaggerated, but the workaholic man missed his job as a researcher. Ten Lee, the genius man was an artist as well as a scientist. Like the growing stereotype of a genius, Ten has no business ambitions, or anything to do with money. He only follows his passion and obsession for art and science. For him, those two things are yin and yang in human life.
Ten had a liberal and logical mind, but it had unconsciously misled itself. Ten, in the name of his obsession with science and technology, was involved in a secret United States project he had been involved in since graduating from MIT's Department of Molecular Biology. The project was the aftermath of a cold war between the United States and Russia. The United States, with its ambitions to carry out sabotage in the Russian Axis countries. Ten knows the ultimate goal of the project he is leading. But Ten with his idealism, will always address science above all else. It could be said, he lost half of his empathy, to make South Korea shaken by a mysterious mass death. He does not care, for him there must be a sacrifice for the progress of science and technology. Either progress
how does it mean.
Locust 127, the name of a secret laboratory with a Mediterranean concept of the mansion, stands majestically in Puerto Rico. Ten is the owner, or rather someone who is given full responsibility for the mansion. The community knows him as a newcomer, businessman, as well as a wealthy artist who is so friendly and mixed with the people in the region. Don't forget, Ten has two faces, until no one knows, that the towering iron-fenced mansion is not a mansion, but a mansion, but the factory creator of the tool of the death of the people for the business and political interests of a superpower.
“Good morning, Dr. Yoon Gi!” sapa Ten as soon as he finished scanning his retina on the biometric scanner and the glass door of the humanoid division laboratory opened. The professor named Min Yoon Gi was just looking at him with her typical flat gaze.
“I want to meet Reina Hwang who has succeeded my first trial after working for three years.” said Ten while occupying himself from the table where Yoon Gi put various metal equipment.
Yoon Gi then stepped lazily towards a room where only she could open and enter the room.
Shortly after, a humanoid robot walked toward Ten. Ten then stood up, and smiled proudly at the robot. The robot then lowered a few degrees like a real human. Ten's hand moved touching the humanoid robot's hair and palm. It was Reina Hwang L127 CBDG E1.
“Before that, there was almost an error on him. The artificial blood does not flow when a person is in
school cafeteria accidentally scratches her hand.”
“What's wrong?”
“There is a clogging in the left ventricle of the artificial heart, and it comes from the nanobiopolymer that makes up its walls. I'm going to increase the tensile strength and compactness of the artificial heart wall to all the humanoids we're going to use next. It will be a little long to fix it, because the nanoparticles it is composed of are biologically synthesized from human models.”
“Do it. I gave a maximum of 1 month for the next humanoid refinement.”
“How is the condition of Reina man?”
“Stable in cryopreservation.” replied Yoon Gi. His hand pointed at a room on the right side of the laboratory. The glass-enclosed room thermostat showed a temperature - 30 degrees Celsius, freezing a human in the capsule in the room.
“Reina Hwang L127 CBOSK E2 Apk. Make him invisible. The second trial was a little tighter and fiercer than yesterday.”

“How was your evaluation?”
“Onset is still too long, but the exposure is quite good, and the residue on the body can not be identified.”
“Don't your own colleagues identify 78% similarity of the toxin?”
“You think those incompetent detectives and scientists will know what I made?”
“After all he's dead.”
“Kak Ten, don't be too cocky. A SNU Food Analyst found the peak of the cherry synthetic flavour, benzyl alcohol, and his detectives were convinced ‘ceri’ was the execution code.”
“This toxin is new, and you certainly do not forget the sponsor of this project is the chairman of the professional association of chemical and biological compound database makers in almost all fields. After all, they just identified the secondary membrane of this substance.”
“Wow, did I not hear wrong? Since when do you care about the power of sponsors? This is not your style.”
“They are research resources, and currently political, business, and defense factors have an effect on the outcome of this project. Is there anything I need to clarify, Lalisa?”
“How is Roexbotulinum culture? Does the yield and toxicity increase after the substrate is replaced?”
“Substrat it is not too influential, it is precisely the superanaerob conditions that increase the yield and
its toxicity. I increased the concentration of CO2 in the culture medium, and the yield went up 45%.” Lalisa showed a hologram, an animation of the different cultural methods he was doing moving there.
“Easy once did that.” said Ten satisfied.
“LD50 value decreased eleven times lower than regular Botulinum toxin.”
“Alright, prepare the colony for modification. I will also re-modify the toxin-producing DNA of S. aureus, and Novovirus. We need to increase the heat, pressure, and pH resistance of the toxin next.”
“OK. Are you going to stick with Thermotoga maritima and ARMAN DNA?”
“Of course, where's Daniel?”
“He's on his way from California. May be arriving tonight.”
“I was very curious, how fatal the mutation and the combination response of these five microorganisms. I'm gonna
make it perform toxicoinfection mechanism. You need to prepare one more heat resistant.” membrane
“Good. Oh yes, what is the next induction trial media?”
“Ransof. Eliminate the smell of that damn cherry.”
