At that moment, a 89b71c66f5 strange sound echoed from 5e2fd70f51 somewhere far off.

It was their c3eec4de02 fifth day in 481a21e6ea this place. On the fourth day, fe10773ac0 the vending machine’s snacks c19ff95362 and drinks ran out, a0b1cb4b61 leaving them with nothing 9d15a70729 to eat. After much deliberation, 4688af4ca4 they decided to 8b5d4b674f explore the fifth ad5c8a7e9e floor. Since the water didn’t cd85f10236 reach the ceiling, they 1770313d61 planned to descend through 739c46a7be the hole on the c219af44ce sixth floor and explore 044d59baf8 the fifth floor via f6399b7189 the ceiling’s ventilation ducts.8a19bc804ce61f7c

The problem was who 0f8a0084e6 would go into the c1cbc9b231 vents. As expected, no one cf1ac4cc8c volunteered readily. As everyone exchanged 3029617952 hesitant glances in 153f97db74 silence, Han Pilhyo f3ae7b78a8 stepped forward with 47740f68a3 a long sigh.1c7061d9a0c90e75

Park Kiwoong f7c752989d left the 50fda71b06 restaurant, crestfallen. If he didn’t 9cd06cc410 bring back something 4023209ea9 edible, he’d surely 24fa63e3bf get beaten.1bef2ff182b1e2be

Anxiously wading through e2fcb87edf the calm water, 607115a5d3 he heard a 1c76112071 splashing sound behind d200ac346a him. Something brushed against his bc1e21efe0 leg.

As he entered the d04393f6d1 restaurant, another splashing sound fb1e7aeaeb came from behind. Goosebumps rose on aef8f7ff39 his neck. He spun around, but 44d7344f0e the water was still.
