Current StatusEliminatedDate of Elimination2███.██.██
Confird to have been completely eliminated after being absorbed by ████-KR(All-lting Sli -> Girl Made of Sli (modified at Dr. Han Seori’s suggestion)).
It was an anomaly in the form of a can secured during the period called the interwar period after World War I, but it was opened with an ordinary ‘can opener’ and changed to a state of infinitely producing at.
After discussions and experints to deal with the growing pieces of at, a ██ facility was established and ██ed in the form of ████.
Please refer to the previously written experintal records for related data.
It didn’t cause any particular problems for ████ days, but on 2██████, it caused the following conditions in those who consud it.
Stage 1: Feeling bored and lethargic. Seized by the thought of wanting to rest, it is a state where one can escape by oneself by reacting to external stimuli.
Stage 2: Loss of energy and motivation incomparable to Stage 1. Once you reach this stage, you can’t get out of the state even with external stimuli, and you tend to obsess over ████ made by ███-KR-2.
Stage 3: Completely losing one’s senses, stopping at nothing to get close to ███-KR-2. Since no one has succeeded in actually contacting ███-KR-2, it is not known what happens after that.
It was judged that there was a risk of exposing the location of the ██ laboratory set up at the ██ factory by people in the process of reaching Stage 3, so there was a plan to move it to ██.
A strange commonality was found among those who had reached Stages 2 and 3. Attached is the conversation record of a ██ branch agent who had reached Stage 2 as reference material.
[Conversation Record of Agent Kim ██]
Dr. Han Seori: It’s been a while. Are you feeling a bit better?
Agent Kim ██: Thanks for your concern, I think I’m okay.
Dr. Han Seori: I’m glad to hear you’re healthy. Rather than that, there’s sothing I want to ask… Agent Kim ██, you said you saw sothing in that state, right?
Agent Kim ██: Can’t you ask soone other than …?
Dr. Han Seori: Isn’t this better than going to relocate the ██ lab?
It was judged to be an unnecessary conversation and was deleted.
Agent Kim ██: Should I say in that state… As I was thinking about wanting to eat ████, my vision darkened. Like I was dreaming. Even there, the desire to eat ████ felt the sa. As I was having that never-ending dream… suddenly, sothing blue appeared.
Dr. Han Seori: Blue? More details.
In this process, agent Kim ██ tried to retract his statent but opened his mouth at Dr. Han Seori’s persuasion.
Agent Kim ██: …Sothing made entirely of blue appeared and embraced . And then I ca to my senses. That’s… it. Really.
Dr. Han Seori: Well, it doesn’t seem like anything special, so why were you so reluctant? By the way, sothing made of blue… What was it like? Could you tell in more detail?
Agent Kim ██: Uh, well… like… ████-KR…
Dr. Han Seori: I hope it’s not what I’m thinking.
Subsequent conversation records were reviewed and censored at the individual’s request.
[End of Agent Kim ██’s Conversation Record]
Those who consud ████ to the point of reaching Stage 2 testified that they saw a ‘blue’ sothing before coming to their senses.
The identity of the ‘sothing’ has not been clearly revealed yet, but it is likely to be ████-KR who consud ███-KR-2.
Accordingly, it seed necessary to erase the mories of those who consud ████ and witnessed ‘sothing,’ so it was carried out but ultimately failed.
Before conducting extensive mory erasure, when checked with an agent from the ██ branch, the mory of the ‘sothing’ presud to be a dream did not disappear.When additional erasure was carried out, the agent’s condition noticeably worsened, so further experints were postponed.However, since most had vague mories except for agent Kim ██ who left the conversation record, it was decided to observe a little more for now.
Additionally, when ███-KR-2 was eliminated, the pieces of at inside the ██ lab turned into ordinary pieces of at with unknown composition.
There was a dispute in the process of disposing of the remaining ████, but it was decided to collect and dispose of everything released to the market.
After that, the risk level of ███-KR-2 was changed from ████ to unrated (eliminated).

[Speculation on the Identity of What Was Seen After Consuming ████]
[Report on ████-KR]
It feels like it’s boiling and bubbling.
Actually, I’ve been saying I was sleeping, but I’ve never had what you’d call a dream since I beca a sli.
Well, I an, I had a ton of dreams when I was human, but I don’t rember having anything you could call a dream since I beca a sli.
But what I see in my sight now… I think it might be a dream.
Because the can I ate was floating in front of my eyes.
From that empty can… for so unknown reason, I felt a lot of dissatisfaction.
I’m sure the last ti I heard its voice, it seed satisfied…
Maybe I’m having this dream because I felt sorry for it.
Anyway.
It’s my dream, so I can do whatever I want with it, right?
…Feeling a bit dissatisfied, I grabbed the can and threw it on the floor.
If we had t outside, that would be one thing.
But if it appears in my dream, of course… it should crawl on its own, shouldn’t it?
*Whoosh~* The flying can rolled with a clatter and crawled on the floor pathetically.
It’s been a while since I’ve felt the sensation of kicking a ball, and as I gleefully kicked the can around, I felt like the self hidden in my heart was popping out.
While kicking the can with a refreshing feeling that I can’t explain,
*Bam!* The rolling can slowly lted away and disappeared sowhere.
…That cowardly bastard!
Thinking it had run away, I was waving my jelly around.
Waving my jelly.
I woke up from the dream.
*Thud!*
I felt sothing hit my jelly and collapse on top of my body with a thud.
Blankly blinking my hazy vision, I recalled the scene I had seen just before falling asleep.
…That image of Sosik looking at with a mischievous grin.
How could an ordinary jelly make a smiling face, you ask? But that’s how I felt.
Anyway.
I thought it might be Sosik who had climbed up and collapsed after being hit by my jelly.
But.
Sothing was strange.
*Bubble, bubble.*
What I thought was Sosik… wasn’t Sosik… No, is it Sosik?
It’s confusing.
A tiny girl was lying face down on my belly.
A small, blue girl who seed to resemble was bubbling her body as if everything in the world was botherso.
In the midst of the confusion, the reason I judged it to be Sosik was,
When I poked its head with my jelly, jelly tentacles that I had seen many tis before stretched out from behind its back and pushed my hand away while struggling.
Blankly staring at it, I sat up on the bed with a dry chuckle. Then, the thing that was on my belly flowed down onto the bed with a plop.
As if to say it was happy, Sosik stretched its tentacles and covered its body with the blanket I was using.
But no way.
I stretched out my jelly and removed the blanket, then grabbed the thing presud to be Sosik.
A very small form, but definitely resembling .
When I put my hand under its armpits and lift it up, its waist stretches out like a cat’s body.
Rather than stretching, it seems to be an act of wanting to touch the bed by extending its body.
While doing that, it struggles with its tentacles to remove my hand, so it seems to be Sosik, but…
Why did it suddenly take this form?
…And why does it look so fed up with the world?
While I was lifting it up and observing, Daesik (in Alice), who was lying next to , also wriggled and got up.
The guy wriggled and got up, lifting Alice’s face as if looking at Sosik.
*Gasp!*
Like a person… No, like a shocked doll, it stiffened its body.
Its expression and its main body were not visible, but Daesik seed very shocked.
…Daesik is still a sli inside there.
…Could it be jealous?
Perhaps living inside Alice’s body isn’t just to find stability there.
The guy, having co to its senses, clung to my waist and tapped with Alice’s hand.
As if saying to make it like that too.
…That would be very troubleso.
Because I, too, woke up to find Sosik changed like this.
Daesik, clinging to my side, is patting my waist.
Sosik in my hand has now given up and is hanging limply, grabbed by my jelly.
Could it be… that I’m still dreaming?
A dream within a dream, as they say.
This sight, which might be similar to this nightmare, might be a dream.
But the sensation of Daesik patting my waist is too vivid.
anwhile,
“Kim Cheonsu. Didn’t I say not to co here?”
“No, D-Doctor, it really wasn’t like that!”
“….”
Kim Cheonsu, who looked more energetic than last ti, and Han Seori entered through the door.
Han Seori was carrying a tray stacked with food.
*Crash!*
Upon seeing , Han Seori dropped the tray and opened her mouth.
Next to her, Kim Cheonsu, who had been babbling, also alternately looked at Sosik and with a startled face.
Soon, I felt an indescribable emotion in Han Seori’s expression as she alternately looked at Kim Cheonsu and .
…I had a feeling sothing was wrong.
