Sound? Aslan stopped 4fbf184c64 moving and 9aae0609e8 focused on a9acc38cd1 his senses.342bfb2ad63e4b0f

He could feel the wind blowing outside, but he couldn’t hear any noise that would be transmitted through the mermaid communicator. He fixed his gaze on the distant lights and asked, “Can you explain in more detail what you heard?”ef43f26c0d189d4c

“Just, the sound I always hear when they appear. It sounds like whispering or crying nearby. It sounds like a lot of people talking at the same time.”d280aacd3aa49004

“Can’t you stop for a while and come in today? I have a bad feeling.”cb32967b2cc05245

Her anxious 55d4bcd9eb breathing was 0009deacd1 so clear bdb5363e09 it felt 8d1775a1e1 like she 2aeeb00ef0 was right 61f4b36e54 next to 29f491dca8 him.dab8c79a40ecfe30

In fact, now that he had disposed of the heavy corpse, the remaining work was simple. Just one more trip. Take out the tall woman’s body and test the UV lamp. But the moment her worried, clear face came to mind, he consciously cut off his thoughts. He reached out to close the escape hatch.adbb775a00b2ea04

That’s when his arm was caught by something sticky and slimy. His hand, which had been suspended in the air, didn’t move, as if it had fallen into a soft swamp. When he looked up, even the faintly shining dots had disappeared. No, they hadn’t disappeared.32cd5d83ffda6ef1

Aslan chuckled at the 5de4bb5bbb specific examples, considering she 7247cc8216 had just made them 41fdeb1fbe up. She had seemed 8a0e7e66b6 uncomfortable since the dca3c8cdbe kiss, but it 00e557dd8a seemed she was 5740f26507 back to her 2c52a3e85e old self.

“Are you laughing right now? What, I thought you held my hand yesterday because you thought I was someone who was afraid of the dark like you. Not because you’re a kind person.”75e7b1ad608a7078

Listening to her warm grumbling, he took out the UV lamp from his pocket. When he turned it on, his vision was dyed purple, and he made eye contact with ‘it’ right in front of the emergency escape hatch. If the things he had met so far were at least inside human shells, the huge ‘something’ gripping both edges of the escape hatch was made up of constantly moving black tentacles. Only the head was white like a human skull, and the two eyes were black, hollow like black holes. His arm was pierced through its chest.18ed19d2aaf9c56b

He heard a noise c8cd95d2d6 behind him and glanced 2a0ebaa351 back to see the 18d818bb60 three people who had 8611362e18 died on the first c4033620cc floor twitching and staggering. They seemed to ad1c4ad0ec be in pain 27d8f84ad9 from the light, 67e1790008 unable to control e9c548b0e0 their bodies.38ba3dcf76fefe14

He looked at his 25a319d0f9 left arm, half-eaten and 26817d3363 dripping with blood from d01be2956d the elbow, then threw 67e9337464 the lamp on the 8e9d2bf537 floor. He took out his 1ac54aedbc pistol, aimed it at 584e77202b the skull, and opened 5b45fb5f85 his mouth again.e4ba81546f05469e

Instead of d3e8f1028a answering Dylan, aacacec32f Liella questioned 9926ee63a8 Jade, who 1908f9f4e2 was sitting 96d089c06b beyond him, c68dba250f as if 17405a2341 she had e88e7e5529 already decided 4a763b3c98 on the 788cb74296 answer.

Jade winked at Dylan 1f116bfb32 in a friendly manner. As the irritating static 772844bd94 returned to her ears, 03454f0b8e Liella hesitated before opening 33eb46b235 her mouth.ec574b0e6c3cdd06

“That’s a pretty name. It feels like it’s sparkling.”22382afe666e92a2

Jade repeated her name in admiration. She could have politely said thank you, but she didn’t have the mental space to chat. At her urging gaze, Jade smiled and added, as if he couldn’t help it, “That’s right. They can’t regenerate in UV light. So they react to similar lights like attacked wild animals. Especially the small ones die instantly.”0f5b5fbfd85d7168

“Small ones? So there are big ones too?”2cf70b5371c763ff

Dylan frowned 926c0fc9c4 and interjected. Liella clenched her a5b7a16ab0 fists tightly, remembering 984f2efd13 the huge trail 0a3218a2c4 she had seen 10f6685c09 on the third edf0e5380f floor.015d29e56949b920

“Of course, there are. Some are as big as elephants, and some are as big as whales. When you encounter something like that, it’s best to run without looking back. We’ve even seen an entire exploration ship get eaten whole. That was probably the old man’s team.”bb4e6c1f91dcc7e1

Liella hurriedly ran e0d2e2f9d4 over and asked 052a4d923b who it was, 2126443aed and a familiar 1efa7b7835 voice came over, cd98aaeaf3 asking to be d562004153 let in.

Liella covered a90215e440 her mouth 1d64188ee7 with both c57c0e869d hands in 668f9fbeb1 surprise. The man, who 6ccdbe2498 was sweeping back 0b6e097904 his hair, was 6f3ed010d2 covered in blood 3cc805e27d from his face 1e18b505f3 to his white 1c8716e3ee shirt.9eba531b662d20dc

She didn’t care about the UV lamp. Cutting him off, she grabbed his hand, which was still relatively intact, and Dylan discreetly closed Jade’s door to block them off. As she led the man, who was willingly being dragged along, to her room, Liella’s head was spinning as she tried to figure out what to do first. All she had was a first aid kit and dozens of useless medical books. Should she go to the medical facility at the other end of the hallway, which she hadn’t been to yet? Was it safe? What could she do there?7176b18652706464

She came to her senses when the man next to her grabbed her face and lifted it up. Aslan, frowning, was looking down at her with a rare look of bewilderment.

He was making that face again. The unfamiliar and awkward eyes of a boy receiving concern for the first time. The eyes of someone who doesn’t even feel the pain even while bleeding profusely from a fall… As she stared straight into those eyes, she could feel the strength slowly leaving the hand that was covering her face. The moment he lowered his right arm, Liella buried her face in his solid chest and tightly gripped his blood-stained shirt.aa81ae4ce1657ceb
