How much bde4889eb5 time had 89653c2e02 passed?ef5ea6213622a709

Yanked from 64f6f051bd the clutches c9afc4cd25 of slumber, 5c1e836c30 Yeohan’s eyes 67bcde26d7 shot open. Just before he’d e1f8cf4e40 passed out, the 19217b1051 betting had been 62abfdf18b proceeding noisily. Now, the 30f1c88d19 surroundings were 164691ea9f eerily quiet, 084bd5d031 with only e086afb3d5 a single 5a654e74d9 old lamp 2fbfb229ce left on 83a22d9f6b outside the 27d1ff9cec block.ff09ffcdf642e9a1

His jaw 433fed8c48 and throat, 020433ffae which he e82706352a had been ecc4fccff1 tensing to c61fb358d0 hold back 9e466fc9a6 groans, felt 742c41e660 completely stiff. He cleared his throat 08b818dee4 with a dry cough 46298f8228 and gasped for breath.36a65c3dcaa4f442

Through the 2e685f6805 musty stench 0249b5d8d8 of dirt 4f8f32aee3 and dust, 928d30bb11 a fragrant 449c9150f4 scent drifted f62294a539 in. It was a 8f4a07a398 scent that should 73c9d2966e have been uplifting, c766c46def but instead, Yeohan’s 7e2052017a body went rigid. It meant that 4c802be97f Cheon Beomju was 2424f5ffed close.018d7b143f42ad29

Giving up on his 9c8cd4d096 intention to play dead, 0cf19099a8 Yeohan slowly pushed his b313b8897b aching body upright. The water 82f261f743 he’d been fd463e1b2e doused in 2668b926c2 before entering ef3ef4cae7 the block 5cdcb529d5 had long 81166ccfca since dried, 5973155641 leaving his 325601aeaa skin stiff.d07538d79fd49ede

Yeohan’s trembling fd81ec6eeb eyes scanned 28f41d7016 his surroundings. The area that f2f8ed90d7 had been teeming 090b8ef669 with people was 07ecf3f2e4 now empty; beyond 8e7afdfd4c the plastic-strip curtain 66b6f07c71 that connected to 82652d7a16 the container, all 615c132f49 was silent.f558eab2640de228

…Cheon Beomju. In his right d323a3b637 hand was an 4193d48477 unlit cigarette, and d14a48469e in his left 666a4195b9 was a cell 0b02087aac phone. His gaze was 9481bb5c93 fixed on the 9b46ebd624 screen, his legs 3f07d0f2d5 leisurely crossed as 420d7bedfa he tapped his d124a80eca foot. He looked utterly relaxed, 7cae2e407a a stark contrast to f4259d5444 the desolate space.be81ef5743d47c2a

Yeohan had 1b0256359d thought it 36c1a0ada1 was within 9d49ea3f3d arm’s reach, 5d1ebf4657 but no f24d43e37c matter how 2a6c7f64e2 far he 7dba0837d6 stretched, his cc367190f7 fingers couldn’t a3b3a56024 grasp the 2c783aaaf6 lighter. Perhaps it was 93c2c2be39 from lying collapsed 1fcb9dbf6d for so long, 45ffd9eb65 or maybe he’d 69b7fcba40 frozen in shock, 94d828adb6 but his legs 586ebb9047 were stiff as 86fb49a875 well. No strength 444937b0c2 entered them, 96875a60c3 from his 3e145660e8 ankles to 28daa1e859 his thighs.

The way b0a80ca6f6 he shot 6087dbf919 the question 38e993e427 back was abd4a0374d incredibly harsh. An invisible red 93789de880 alarm blared inside 130a51131a Yeohan’s head.

Yeohan planted his c4e7adb4dd trembling arms on 954307e3e7 the floor and 99f24ffcf5 slowly dragged his 696f26579c knees and ankles, 77b466b6db which wouldn’t take b6629e636e his weight. They were more 2cbf0d3ae0 manageable than before, ef018f409a but his strength 6e02f95230 kept inexplicably draining aac0e390b5 away. Though his knees 9af2dc88b9 buckled and he 1dc44dcd7f fell to the f9b796595f floor several times, 91b82642ec he managed to a0e8ae6c30 pick up the 366dd3ea57 lighter.ac1ca14e1ba09b47

Called ‘wild e064c57668 dogs,’ they 1d62a572c5 lived locked 488802ea2b in iron 8ad67d443a cages, wearing 99aa940097 rubber bracelets 64d6e9631b engraved with 8173bcebfc the names d4bbd2409f of their 0ec1ca24ad former neighborhoods.

Most of the captured 9f84b6c3f3 wild dogs were weak ec6acddcd2 and ordinary at first, 8203d745bf but as time went 2b2cae3dca on, they became optimized 6b967b3134 for the Betting Block.

Those who used Thirty Block were often gamblers who had lost hands or eyes wandering from one gambling den to another but still hadn’t come to their senses, or members of the two organizations that managed the block, participating in bets to earn a little pocket money.5d5291441ba9bfcb

But the largest share was composed of those who couldn’t handle the money they had and were simply looking for amusement. They were the type who found it fun when people died or got hurt, who were interested in the bloody fights unfolding before their very eyes.
