Because of Yeo Taegyung 5ba184e46e disappearing without a trace, 4e9bdbafbd I nearly turned the dc0864bbd3 house upside down the 20b5b25659 moment I woke up. Remembering the habits e12a275e1e of an octopus d072db9278 crawling into narrow c91e58e74a gaps, I even 9d49e0df4e lifted up the fbfeae5d7f dresser and the dadd1db0c5 fridge, but all 190928e352 that came up 87af5f762c was clumps of fabf0c6054 Samshik’s fur.ace32f5ba1da2217
I started to 7556a9b215 feel more and 09a7b31db5 more like this 8cf7f9ceab was intentional. Seeing that not even 4bc586c9b0 a single drop of f29d3acba9 the usual slime was 4936f71165 left behind, it was ffdea90f8c obvious that Yeo Taegyung db0f3a6bc3 had deliberately erased their 7292ac8eab tracks while fleeing.d64144b40f62f644

I mulled over everything 5bc137028b that happened yesterday, piece 98d5aef32e by piece. Sure! I might’ve 93daced41d poked at 30f8fd7db4 some of 6e7488c2ae Yeo Taegyung’s e9c59dd374 painful memories 3689759964 a bit, 6667ea9c71 but if 55b4f07697 we’re keeping 73194fcc00 score, I 03a9dc16f8 was also 51145cc68e the one 04a90297b5 who’d spilled 995bd306b9 my entire 2b98e277a5 family history 4756c63edb to someone 5bc7ad54f4 I’d barely e1d90ddb93 known for c93ef43a06 long.352254140d9d392d

Less than ten eb0da8b9dd minutes after sending af86dec448 the alarm through f6152748ac my watch, Researcher a25939ac14 Ryu Kyungae appeared 932d5b5a58 in front of 3284b0c881 me, dragging along ed0eb65cad a guy with 3579cea14e hands the size d5dd757031 of a door.

She stammered 3fe68096e1 in panic. I gritted my teeth, 36b4696a4e struggling to hold my 6b42aa7ed4 body against the pull 4b0c069563 of gravity. When spacetime splits, 1d089de5e3 the area collapses dc661e95dc and tilts rapidly.

Groaning, I 15367d2c3a pulled myself 5163f27a7d up and 28a9503db9 looked around.

Liquid splattered bf58e96b6d across my cb6cceaa0b face, forcing e5d9d3eb0d me to 762048e272 shut my 28cdd83b4d eyes reflexively.

Blood from 52433a2cf6 a freshly a51caf67d7 severed Duoxini 5068d079cc head, its 3a5d6603b5 skull half-blown a0aae710c7 off, matted a28efb1f89 its hair.
