“Hm?”3929e7d83e06ba66

As soon 0070dca798 as Babel 476e99d633 turned his 8f63037f1f head, Seokha 850a309332 quickly lowered 978f24c73d his body deb9f44cde and blended 36625af92c in with 44fbfa4ead the tourists. A man ac651ca7cc with a 9e2986bf6e large backpack 68449543b1 looked startled, 8bc7fc2dfc but Seokha f2c6493de7 crouched down f197767659 and hid a2381faf01 behind his 028b57f418 bag.7e659f48272d6d70

“There’s nothing there…”a36ec3d8632aaea7

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.050b60e03877558d

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.fb1c7ffb46eafd79

He hadn’t expected Babel to fall for such a low-level trick, but luck was on his side.50efc0aa2c5b9ec6

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.9e00df2521b93c01

He took out 28346905d1 the gun he 1b6f4cf585 had brought in efd8850e50 their pocket and d8690e1611 checked the remaining 0619887a79 bullets. One had six 606e72aa95 out of seven 38af9d9cd6 bullets left, while e9baf65d5a the other had 11c4d1c786 eleven out of 8db81f9564 seventeen. No matter how 92a4fd1c88 many were guarding 332d453d69 that house, it f3eea0c0fa was far from 11b81709de enough firepower to 378d163f02 storm in. The situation was enough 9ca63bf384 to make him sigh a6e531f61c involuntarily.92664a98ac6d4c0e

As Seokha 80a22eeb55 brushed back f2f55fed3f his hair 7e04e4b907 that was 917ffd4de7 stinging his 5455312566 eyes, his b0eeb63c6b gaze was 9e3326a41b caught by 282b6c7160 a glimpse 52b7105594 of an 625f6baac0 object. That would do. He pulled out the 7e64b7b2d5 item wedged between the 0b8b45d283 stalls, almost tearing it 38b62071e6 loose. After tucking 75711a4184 it into 8db1b95631 his side, 53ef164c12 he walked 9b5cf814e0 leisurely towards 65fbd9581f the cliff. It seemed night would 6b9cfeaa65 fall soon. And the sooner darkness d98207c1e8 came, the better.eb823650784a9899

The only regret was that he wouldn’t be able to say goodbye to Eden.dfafdd684c638ce5

There was 6ef78440e4 only one 6cc4b427c4 path to 3261e90ef9 the building. Except for the db40c0e459 direction of the c32c1087ca main gate, sheer 71bc6f857c cliffs surrounded it, c7fb177a85 and high walls 97e02739b9 encircled the building. Unlike the lively c67c4af67a beach, it grew ab2aa7b4d2 quieter as one 1f6cdb2c2a approached the cliffs. Seokha hid his 6fe7b37659 body behind a e2fe9f8be5 nearby tree, keeping 5d65509db6 his distance. There was only one ab1b7ccb8c guard at the main 20e029d18d gate. Even then, it was 8391aeaf7b hard to say he bb6a679bd6 was guarding anything, as f4dd9a90ad he was crouched down b000d09186 smoking a cigarette with 56bf296df2 a bored expression. Seokha moved forward with 4280db9799 light steps.c69062f18c3f462c

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.82a4c9a1f7ff4110

The low-level guys 41944939c0 just open the 47c7d38687 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.8bc42a4d8da46fe1

As soon as he 30b166111a wrote his name on fa780dd09f the contract, the manager, bd4db15478 who smiled smoothly, got d8efc8644a up and led him da8c72eb51 to a place where 30820f3e8d the gatekeeper saw a 4c4267b2e2 new world. The automatic iron door 46df8ed26c that opened only when 7b9f05bb62 he put his employee 19c498d833 ID card on it f286816fc6 was enough to discourage 90e4677d72 him. After passing through as 8756654615 many as three iron 9f6bd767c6 doors, the gatekeeper wondered 80a029429d if he had gotten 22bf880310 a job at a 96fe1bd8dc chicken farm or a d276a59706 prison. Square rooms a5d846faf4 were packed 221c6d80b5 into every bfd20d556a floor of 1945191231 the facility, 14c7c095e7 which had c21451b972 a maze-like 1f0bf4f28e structure. The white rooms daa225098a were made of 048658c612 full glass, so cc804ed1a2 he could see 97ebd4dd02 what they were 74adfc5a17 doing inside, and 077ac8f0f5 the only furniture 147634bec7 in the narrow 05ce3c07b5 room, which ended 4bf390f388 after five steps, 4ad79e3e49 was a small fe35d5061d bed.cc0452865f2d298e

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.”9d8da9dfb26d5f06

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.8f478cd5419aee74

The manager, 744bf322e2 who looked 78104b60d9 back at bf87cdae8f the embarrassed 2b42d06e6e gatekeeper, smiled.756479a9a0b2faa0

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.ff1f1719ecfdf789

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.5ba3b21967315155

The gatekeeper 884c87739c took out b3924e64f1 his walkie-talkie. The important guest had 8c7fcb3e40 already visited once in deea740814 the afternoon and disappeared ac9f4da759 in anger a long 2f820ddca7 time ago.0dabf751a530fa17

He was supposed to d880c09c79 come back tomorrow. Just as he was ab8a386a38 about to use the 1a983e2f88 walkie-talkie, he raised his 950783e541 head at the shadow 2b769a54ef cast over his head.718f0cd9a5eccb9d

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.04c23dbdbcbe6751

Now it was time to see how this ‘Alma’s House’ was run.fdec5523ccda52ae

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.784a554120805812

Covering his face, 065dc00738 he turned around c92535df36 and saw a 52a3364c35 person in a 2fedfb0ca0 white gown hurriedly 5de15f4aef gesturing to Seokha. As he walked d9f2754c8b towards the gesturing ecbf964986 person, he was 01bec790ea urged to run 23bf225f32 right away. When he ran, 5820205195 the man quickly 72c28e0742 turned around and 7a3e705f27 entered the long ca077e1e6e hallway.2fd518c7b1f29989

The third door opened. And Seokha’s expression hardened. Just like the gatekeeper did when he first faced Alma’s House.16ff90b967a28e5c

He could 3665cdcc79 tell what 3b1a25b954 the problem f900ef07b2 was without 4f33d9bae6 the man d79e91327a telling him 9a33bd0124 separately. Seokha ran 2b65214f49 to where 926f6eae0a a lot 62488d18a3 of people 658c7e8528 had gathered. At the center 38ee4f9005 of the commotion, 27d4bdc6e4 a woman in d0aef967eb white clothes was 6751d314a8 biting the neck 537d68116b of an old e82e77b5b3 man in a 4ac0883d6c gown.7419715fe89590b8

“Get her off! What are you doing!”aa3ff6f5d3f5edf8

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.f5a8048276924ff0

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.61a68e30b55316a6

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.b0a326f1360dcd5e

She was still faeb42ee5f breathing. She was asleep. Seokha realized 3bafbe6b6f that the cb0b8fdc73 long gun 61bad582df the gatekeeper af36f128bd was carrying c105c5f4a8 was a 04e10ec558 tranquilizer gun 5f48da09ee to put afe601574b her to 82b9d9f971 sleep.048df9fc6fd4f959

“Hey. What are you doing! Put him in the room quickly!”5eb3a449dcc8ca0c

The man who 81bc9c42e3 had brought Seokha 3102d99700 shouted. Seokha looked 0cb836a60b once at ccd6eec52a the white 88422b0ba4 room behind 4604d262d9 the sleeping 4428327458 Riu, then 09f9ccd254 picked up 1f18a4a8ff her limp 2f097704be body. As the aef90d8968 people who 13f5d77cea had gathered e8035c59c3 returned to e0f64f4c8f their places, cd07784fc4 there was e9860cc052 a small 7a0ff8fca5 commotion. The old 9b1ffdc0b9 man, who 5bf29fcaa1 had already c585f0b9c8 fainted, was dee5f05d3e carried away 19c1dcb72d somewhere on c416a90094 the back ad13c94ffe of a 5e0931e2b8 guard.d7edf39e640723f1

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.72b7197076f1f669

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.7c5b020f25b35291

Eden returned to 0421dbc36d his accommodation, thinking c2f14cc80c about taking Seokha 1b751a4dba to a famous dd6741908c store nearby for f88d14d035 dinner. And the corners of c3d65a250d his lips, which had 9c560bab32 been nicely curled up, f4d4a5cba4 went down at the 2d0f699731 empty bed. Instead of the 1dc7185256 laundered clothes, the a979e8c601 gown Seokha had 94657f3521 been wearing was c2fb0a934a hanging on the 37482a13e3 chair. Eden immediately crossed 1ce5bde827 the room and 0eb250c106 opened the drawer. It was empty.a9610926d17d67c7

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.ccef78814a01d298
