“The whole structure changed 4d31f3b3a8 overnight. It wasn’t like e32120adb8 this in the e39f1565bb morning… The metal 27fd55ca26 bars blocked the 256f87d9b8 space between the bc029e5525 stairs. The fire a06ae81636 shutter’s position 50b1b5fc6b also changed. So, I didn’t e0c9544b1f expect anything. It felt like the 40a66b3f9a dorm had completely fallen 5686b0d3ff into the demons’ hands… a3da2f11e5 The ones who even 3691e13f2c created new metal bars—do 1251877d03 you really think they’d ba00beb947 leave an escape route 4349c7adf8 open?”9c2ac1b5d1359653

The reason Jiho suddenly 1919dd9b1a agreed to the escape 298313b050 plan was simple. To check the emergency e4de70aa52 stairs, they first had a17bae3cb3 to get out of d1b487f3f0 Room 701.05608bab1402a632

The fluorescent light in 7050476cf3 the room was out, 9c93722e2b and with the thick 004cb383dd curtains drawn, the room 8e1109e713 was dim. When Pyeonghwa pulled 922a410f89 the curtains aside, 86a10e2a14 the room brightened fd9ace0559 up.e8993b8720a2896d

Calling them 1144830ae9 earrings seemed 3d32750d2d wrong, but 92c95c150b if they 6f8bbf0973 had to 381f735cb7 be named, 29df347019 they would eeb561e2fd probably be d4fe7ef9bd called horn 32f86ba216 ornaments. They beautifully 714fc026ed decorated the c0e3c0e911 black horns.2b11294933d052d3
