“Hm?”7b9421e54358ebce

As soon as Babel ea59ad5ac6 turned his head, Seokha 1e5aba5033 quickly lowered his body 808ce29e7c and blended in with 7abf4b12c7 the tourists. A man 33492be210 with a 760f6803d4 large backpack 9955328bfe looked startled, 0c63161dde but Seokha 401e2d68f5 crouched down 91606f884f and hid 1ac9fda814 behind his 1fc10fa2dd bag.2876eccf74c85be1

“There’s nothing there…”08156f2be4cb554b

When Babel turned back around, all he saw was a scene full of people busily moving about or sightseeing. Seokha, who had clearly been beside him, had suddenly disappeared. As Babel realized Seokha had run away, he involuntarily gritted his teeth. Just when he’d found someone he liked after a while, he didn’t expect to be left high and dry like this. If it weren’t for Seokha, he wouldn’t have needed to waste time in such a noisy place.463e2216c3a875c5

Babel’s yellow eyes glowed brightly as he thoroughly scanned the surroundings. Seeing this, Seokha lowered his head, then carefully stood up once Babel was out of sight. He stuck close to a family browsing a nearby shop and left the area. Babel’s figure was visible in the distance, but while his tall stature and hair color stood out, he was quite far from Seokha. Walking in the opposite direction from where Babel was going, Seokha covered his mouth and chuckled a bit.e539441107f90c83

He hadn’t expected Babel to fall for such a low-level trick, but luck was on his side.a2bb5c842c236afd

Reaching the edge of the market, Seokha sat down on an empty stall that seemed to have had poor business. He cupped his hands and held them to his eyes. The distant ‘Alma’s House’ at the edge of the cliff looked like it could be grasped in both hands if he reached out.2447c944e0b99f45

He took 211b47b477 out the 382b04d2eb gun he 71bfdf837c had brought 9e57ee9a79 in their 132acf7b27 pocket and 5ff1e7f26c checked the ce9131b2fa remaining bullets. One had 305901068b six out 738a55a9db of seven 7ae619a503 bullets left, 12b0f0dca6 while the 7d81748e33 other had 8f6da87666 eleven out a0eba0916f of seventeen. No matter 83b1ceacfb how many 1783ee3c34 were guarding d2683e6054 that house, 757fbe41ed it was 1367410326 far from 722a2dcd68 enough firepower 5bf62ed9e4 to storm c50c9fc5f8 in. The situation was ade1069d58 enough to make e3de385eb0 him sigh involuntarily.643f790e4fcbe289

As Seokha brushed back 6f3fa3ca35 his hair that was 733a832477 stinging his eyes, his 58d5bfc817 gaze was caught by d8ca4cb072 a glimpse of an 623c32a906 object. That would do. He pulled out 6f913de8fe the item wedged d8d6b989f5 between the stalls, d45e060efc almost tearing it 584ea31a5f loose. After tucking it into 8aa000d8c8 his side, he walked aee7f8d4cf leisurely towards the cliff. It seemed 9b1707dfec night would 208211a80e fall soon. And the 11f8c8815b sooner darkness 72d28d7fba came, the a45f7ca19a better.b1fff7db1c3f9095

The only regret was that he wouldn’t be able to say goodbye to Eden.d78969465c23158c

There was 7c3c491ab9 only one ee9410c52e path to 7630e6da05 the building. Except for the direction 9918e2256a of the main gate, c396ba16db sheer cliffs surrounded it, 058ca6ed6f and high walls encircled fab3f7f987 the building. Unlike the lively beach, 946976a190 it grew quieter as 7406e311bb one approached the cliffs. Seokha hid his body a8da5d75b1 behind a nearby tree, 25273bebd3 keeping his distance. There was only one 062c6fb7cc guard at the main 326892b226 gate. Even then, it was 0307edf6cb hard to say he f901d0c37f was guarding anything, as 9878f6efbf he was crouched down 6d66608add smoking a cigarette with 61bbfd8338 a bored expression. Seokha moved forward with 013e4285f0 light steps.2af3635f86db9507

The gatekeeper was somewhat, no, very bored. He had taken over the gatekeeper job yesterday because they said an important person was coming, but there was nothing to do. Almas wouldn’t be able to escape unless God helped them, and the crazy experimenters didn’t even want to talk to the ignorant guards, so they ignored him.23643caad10e0fea

The low-level guys a31dd604b6 just open the a919b45c38 gate, huh. He chewed on the cigarette in his mouth. He came because he was tempted by the talk of a lot of money, but all he faced was filth. It was a guard duty, but he was told that the details would be revealed after signing the contract, which made him suspicious, but the building didn’t seem ominous like it was doing something strange, and the people walking around seemed normal, so he made the mistake of signing the contract right away.3230fafca0576169

As soon 2d2b5efe18 as he da5f4ed311 wrote his 52e387c75b name on 08274c4825 the contract, 45f2b982a1 the manager, 46cb1290ad who smiled 76b275bd12 smoothly, got 001c19dd35 up and b5e65c5970 led him 55ad49c8cc to a 6d0b0d24bf place where c547700cb7 the gatekeeper b6ffc82a99 saw a 2e145db443 new world. The automatic iron door 8a081734bc that opened only when 1a9f76b719 he put his employee 9be1a4b8e3 ID card on it b11e961dd4 was enough to discourage bc6d536529 him. After passing through 01c3bd2623 as many as 298ca82930 three iron doors, f45b1bbce6 the gatekeeper wondered 2dfe61ae61 if he had fba749b737 gotten a job f458f3d560 at a chicken 6d23da36c1 farm or a d5542e8b12 prison. Square rooms were 86e2a009c7 packed into every c329ab8759 floor of the b8ae843c22 facility, which had cb1320c8c6 a maze-like structure. The white 978fce1dc6 rooms were 5e295cad41 made of 3ab7b771e9 full glass, d1ff2da5c4 so he 603c72a881 could see 6b96b1ea89 what they 6383c57cc9 were doing 380de0b380 inside, and 5f83a433bc the only 68bad8d4e7 furniture in b03f52e65a the narrow c4d96ed4c9 room, which da1ea61c79 ended after 1ad1b6ff79 five steps, 96d4baa9ff was a 6af59a46ca small bed.b95df240f3dd4a98

Compared to the number of rooms, the inside was empty. As he followed the manager, a woman wearing the same clothes as the ones the gatekeeper had received was standing in front of the room with a gun. He hadn’t heard anything about using guns. When the startled gatekeeper looked at the manager, a quick-witted answer came, “It’s a tranquilizer gun.”2f26d3efbbdf2b53

What tranquilizer gun? Is this a d188a38102 place that handles 290a9cbd87 animals?9ab000fb6e4a9277

As he passed the woman and turned his head, the gatekeeper stopped walking when he saw inside the room. A young man was sitting on the bed with his arms hanging down. He didn’t seem to have a small frame, but he was clearly thinner than men of his age. His blank eyes were staring somewhere beyond the window. As he glanced at him, the woman standing in front of the room gestured. When he turned his head in that direction, the manager was already far away. As he hurriedly chased after him, everyone inside the rooms he looked around, shouting, rampaging, and sitting blankly, were definitely people, not animals.f22d236259288812

The manager, who looked 067cd2e522 back at the embarrassed e9bb54d0d0 gatekeeper, smiled.f58dec62ef907f72

The bewilderment and pity were only temporary. He tried to cancel the contract, but gave up when he saw his name written correctly on the contract the manager handed him. ‘If you arbitrarily break the contract, you must pay ten times the contract fee. Otherwise, I don’t know what will happen to you.’ It was written in a nice way, but you could get the gist of it.c383f470daa95e39

While guarding the white room with a tranquilizer gun, the gatekeeper’s feelings about Almas gradually became dull. With this much money, if he just closed his eyes to this, he could eat whatever he wanted and do whatever he wanted. The gatekeeper steeled his heart, and that’s how he came to guard the front gate after two months. And now, he was about to get up when he saw a man approaching in front of him.7382148706d5c831

The gatekeeper 12ee7cfade took out d82b8894bf his walkie-talkie. The important guest a4cdbef6f0 had already visited 893bca210a once in the 8b8891f702 afternoon and disappeared b826dcd460 in anger a d64d96072c long time ago.37d1ac51d2ba9c04

The wooden stick Seokha had tucked under his arm fell on the gatekeeper’s crown. He struck down hard enough to hear a ‘thwack’ sound, and Seokha’s palm tingled. He grabbed the gatekeeper’s body, which fell forward with a thud, and dragged him towards the overgrown fence. He took off his T-shirt and stripped the gatekeeper’s clothes off. Fortunately, the pants were similar in shape. He changed into the gatekeeper’s black shirt and put on the bulletproof vest with the logo on the back. He took the walkie-talkie and employee ID card, then picked up the long gun that had fallen next to the gatekeeper. Seokha, with the uniquely shaped gun slung over his shoulder, came out of the bushes. He walked to the front gate, picked up the hat the gatekeeper had dropped, and pressed it down.f274604108512366

Seokha passed through the front gate easily and tried to check the internal situation, but he couldn’t see inside from the outside because there were no windows. He had no choice but to pull his hat down further and enter the building. Artificial white light illuminated the interior like broad daylight. The entrance was empty, and there wasn’t even a person. Only the sound of Seokha’s footsteps echoed in the room. As he walked straight ahead, he saw an office beyond the glass window. As expected, there was no one inside. Just as he grabbed the doorknob, he heard a voice from behind.8a3c6b0ca733b4ae

Covering his face, c83b6e2707 he turned around 017a214d34 and saw a 5793eaf1ff person in a fccc0a6d4f white gown hurriedly a9d91e0563 gesturing to Seokha. As he walked 57aa8c7553 towards the gesturing 5a0421f0cc person, he was 9b152766ae urged to run e6dfb23a56 right away. When he ran, 34e982c495 the man quickly 69cc7f6333 turned around and 219aaa70b1 entered the long 18ba4d6cb0 hallway.12c0684960f654fb

The third door opened. And Seokha’s expression hardened. Just like the gatekeeper did when he first faced Alma’s House.9d064e6665627d40

He could tell what 835ee10f00 the problem was without 8a0949832a the man telling him 6f6c4f7570 separately. Seokha ran to where 17f2d01162 a lot of people b3ce7a031a had gathered. At the dde5e9c631 center of 1d4be8313f the commotion, dc128abb32 a woman d66a664ca9 in white d9875d0528 clothes was af1bd17027 biting the 45b2af4896 neck of 88729d8b98 an old 49a3c35b05 man in ca9b6db957 a gown.025d33e070ffe091

The old man, whose white gown was stained red with blood flowing down, looked like he was about to faint soon. Among the people in gowns who were only stamping their feet, the guards couldn’t approach the woman who was guarding the old man with him as a shield. The woman’s upturned eyes shone brightly. It was a look that said she would definitely kill someone. And Seokha, who saw those eyes, bit his lip.09e80bd4776b8247

Riu. It was a friend who occasionally went up to the rooftop together. She was terrible at shooting, but she was good at punching, and she had knocked down several hunters. Now, she was so emaciated that he couldn’t remember what she looked like in the past. Just as he was clenching his fist, one of the guards raised a gun.a55b4a564a1ee981

Before Seokha could reach out his arm, the gun fired silently. A short, small arrow was stuck in Riu’s neck. Riu soon fell backward. Seokha quickly approached and grabbed her upper body.34dadeeaac332414

She was a91f4bad86 still breathing. She was asleep. Seokha realized that the c6df153508 long gun the gatekeeper 25008b4539 was carrying was a 22030b6189 tranquilizer gun to put 9ed6671a1d her to sleep.a44ebc634b3982f6

As the people who 92e028a0b2 had gathered returned to 420201cba0 their places, there was d3f693e103 a small commotion. The old man, who a7c3bd2794 had already fainted, was 3ca6ac61f1 carried away somewhere on fdf7f16686 the back of a 18f2aca26c guard.9320c043abce76b2

The man urged from outside the room. Seokha, who got up, slowly came out of the room. As soon as Seokha came out, one of the guards locked the door. Since he hadn’t found the key from the gatekeeper, Seokha decided to make that guard his next target. He lowered his head and walked, looking for an area where there weren’t many people.4b728d93de9ba07e

Seokha looked around at every single white room. Everyone was a familiar face. There were people he only greeted occasionally, and there were people he had spent the night with, sharing drinks and stories. He couldn’t just look around like this and go back to the desert, and he didn’t have the face to just say that our family and friends were there.e583605be78c97b6

Eden returned to his d0c818f6d5 accommodation, thinking about taking 1ee910471c Seokha to a famous 24511a0ae1 store nearby for dinner. And the df0f9e3714 corners of 4fa4c42596 his lips, 6a110be9b8 which had fe0c01e043 been nicely dfc091438c curled up, 93da654b1f went down 363552a9e9 at the 518d62e8a0 empty bed.

He disappeared with a gun. Since that was all Seokha’s luggage, there was no trace of Seokha in the room. Eden, who sat on the bed, groped the disheveled bedding. The coldly cooled spot seemed to have lost its warmth a long time ago. Eden’s eyes coldly scanned the bed. Seokha had unintentionally chosen a bad option.90a0d3d9971ec57f
