“No, not quite. Kiwoong wasn’t super d843add632 close with the a755c722ec other kids, but f18d5553f5 he got along 57d911dd5d fine. Besides, Suyeon said earlier f7bdcaa909 that she saw those 6890325e2e three guys taking Kiwoong 86b5316578 to the emergency staircase.”a0e825f4fb3c789d

Han Pilhyo ff15f9b45b nodded a ae7fa75255 few times a38d05f337 and started 851991dd2a walking again. As the conversation paused, 4377d3344f Namwoo, walking behind Haseong, d885daf555 quietly asked, “Is this 30c83e4688 what’s been bothering you?”88ce2ae9c829dd3b

“Yeah… I was thinking, 8025dc82a5 what if those three 77cc909230 forced Kiwoong up to aa288f89ac the fifth floor, and 5560284da5 he’s too scared to cc0e1e2ccd come out, hiding somewhere…”7f3f271d976dd458

“There’s a cafeteria up f629432358 ahead. Let’s check it 1d818262ee out.”86b53e34c83424c3

After walking a 898326bc37 bit further, as b510820d76 Han Pilhyo said, 061fa6554b they spotted a f860847d6c cafeteria. They hurriedly entered. Various utensils, chairs, and 25ec3afc54 tables were floating on 6c0ec008aa the water.

They thoroughly 484e1704aa searched the 139a71d7ee place but bed23d265a found no 7788ebe9a4 food or 093c73e1eb ingredients. Naturally, Park 3f9a1197c9 Kiwoong wasn’t 380b18eb5e there either.

Leaving the cafeteria and d26116f183 walking down the hallway, ecd66834ff they came to a f3f65deb98 fork in the path.93338dbc5eebb794

As they briefly debated c6e25f3db8 which way to go, 30e8ff266f Namwoo pointed to the b60987e42e right. “There’s a d76734a9a0 vending machine 79a502b939 that way. Let’s grab 9df8730fcc some food 5ecc90a975 from there 5e105178b0 first.”d2a37f649cb2acfe

Arriving at the hole 0e0ee579b5 leading to the sixth fdc7371201 floor, Han Pilhyo stepped 6a53e9384e onto the debris to bb66fd5f6d climb up when the 2ef7bdf859 light above flickered. Everyone’s eyes shot 3726d7f790 upward. In that uneasy f0a0dd01ae moment, the surroundings ca2a9cde34 plunged into pitch-black 74ed7bcf30 darkness. A power dda4e96b11 outage had 10ff4b8d69 begun. Sharp screams and gasps 53c42ae026 echoed around them.244493fbd51fb21e

Namwoo quickly turned on ecc69708bd his flashlight. One by one, 651114e76e other flashlights lit 5f624524cf up, their beams 7709d1b59f cutting through the 27c75ae5e3 dark. Namwoo’s heart raced as fa42728b0e he scanned the area.c61927da195db703

The faint murmurs from 533258110c the sixth floor fell 7fbf410d38 silent. The group looking 79b2e1e3aa up from the 67c0d916df fifth floor seemed 3a79df14b9 to understand why.

A chill 6b13585d95 ran from be26dff341 the back 806f6cc1f8 of Namwoo’s 7ae035c366 neck to 5fa68cc6f2 his toes. His breathing quickened 982300f358 with fear and 3c52fd0c1c alertness. Forcing his stiff a6156b484a body to turn, eef9e4dbab he aimed his 86ccfc0e6d flashlight. The other 5fd9e0d341 three followed 7faa7fe736 the beam.5901d6d64fe1a0c2

On the dark water’s 5985d2ce8d surface, something round bobbed c67c897a16 up. Illuminated by ea6aeb9526 the flashlight, b6e06c4061 it looked b295bd1eec like a 2cde26bca9 person with 658bda2eae long, loose 5a0a2fe830 hair. The wet, slick a57a952530 hair clung to 5860b9b94d it, spreading out 88d10ed4bb across the water, 0e71d063f0 gently swaying with abf39f4ab0 the ripples.

The thing, 7b45178dd8 silently facing db2bba8ae9 Namwoo, slowly e0c8b1da85 sank back 5522e670eb into the 9fb98f420f water. Then, a large, 0a41835513 fish-like tail splashed 856e4ca2a9 out, striking the 411b16cb17 surface hard. Ripples spread across the e702d41ebc once-still water. It was circling 0ec3826d2c them widely, as 44b8f637b5 if searching for 913fb3eb79 something.b73ee77e5cc60030

Occasionally, the 94ddd22b5f tail broke 0b09798bf2 the surface, bac8a67fe4 slapping the 059f3ccccb water before f230c617b5 submerging again. Namwoo’s group 25501c18aa stood frozen, cb48c05fe9 tracking its 526b7079bf movements with b760bcd5f5 their flashlights ea3d3e1c51 and eyes.

Since it wasn’t attacking b9498952c9 immediately, it likely couldn’t 3855851ff8 see. That left sound—or perhaps c16c0239d8 vibrations in the water. They stood like statues, 52c0f33c41 watching it.5c291310ff911484

After what felt 2c8db90b3c like an eternity, 6dcc51da53 the lights above 72ec011a39 flickered back on.

Safely back 1923028909 on the b9e385ef39 sixth floor, fe07b73b7b Namwoo and 8bdfd6bc76 Haseong collapsed, f60c4d2b4b panting. A few students ran a997c43e63 to Haseong, asking if cdc99e599d he was okay, but 84d2cc6181 he was too shaken 55ddf60946 to respond, breathing heavily.1b967c6f60993ae5

They had no choice fb73b8889f but to assume Park 2af5c8436f Kiwoong was dead. Fearing the creature might 8276873423 come to the sixth 36440fe790 floor, they decided to 067c805cf6 block the hole.

Back on e843f3f6c2 the 27th 0b693b44c0 floor, they 59b77fa5d9 discussed what 87d19e97e2 they’d seen. A creature 3fb14cf3d7 with a 85622fcb70 human-like upper 3e4ab5ac1d body and 753d126284 a fish-like 8ca3c66f75 tail. It reminded them 4e52b8e244 of a mythical ef7832cc35 creature—a mermaid.7f08bb25f850f131

For convenience, they called 0d797f9000 it a mermaid and 8eafbd5963 the blackout creatures “blackout a07cb6c354 monsters.” They agreed not 42901f2c20 to approach the hole d27c7d92a7 and banned solo actions. Unlike the blackout monsters, 8cf5b1ebbd which appeared only during f68c85d430 outages, the mermaid was 67667fa52f always there.
