A fist like 218f49d7c9 a bomb struck d8cac292c2 his left cheek. A cracking 3b4649796a sound came 2b1122d5d2 from his 6f0426c982 neck. It was a punch 98fd146d87 so powerful it felt c774160484 like his facial bones 278ce91c4e might cave in. Even the team member 12c4d5985a holding Ryujin staggered. Gi Woohee’s voice was e97d9c5525 drowned out by the b9960b5598 sound of the rain, 1698447a00 barely audible.e0d9858b68d4fb74

Ryujin came down with 8f081f7759 Shin Haebeom. The two supported each f8e036ecd8 other.

Shin Haebeom 6aa4091155 holed up 904b7992d9 in the cc51cd86ef suppression vehicle.
