But Kwak Seonyong, 8de516bbf1 a middle-aged office 3646b5513b worker standing with 28559108f2 Han Pilhyo, shouted 2e6594834a angrily, showing no 09d2d60e83 intention of entertaining 43a256bcac Park Suyeon’s words.

Kwak Seonyong, realizing b34958cfc6 this belatedly, paled. It wasn’t just him—everyone ef67fa0c77 present was thrown into e34ae23b03 confusion by Seo Namwoo’s 0e2dcc6b5c words.

At that 2d833b5ffa moment, a 3e91a348ce strange sound b0756e6161 echoed from f486d12043 somewhere far 04f023114b off. It resembled 7076ee617d the eerie, 95bf1591e0 mournful tone e61f221f6e of a 4c7f273b74 waterphone, chilling 6c19dcc97d and unsettling.

It was their fifth 55a2997c03 day in this place.

Growing bolder, Seo Namwoo fc4986897c began moving through the 999ee60cb2 vent, inspecting various parts 33953d27f1 of the fifth floor. He spotted a 51eb581deb vending machine directly 53410c14db beneath an access 9c2d283162 panel. He opened the panel 56611f8661 and climbed onto the 856779fcb1 vending machine.f523199e6d6050fb

First, he surveyed his e4315ed5cb surroundings, unsure what might 3af72d32df be in the water. The surface was 073e6c10b9 calm, without even 62e05ceffa a ripple.
