“Hm?”547e69369821e9fc

As soon 0061aff9b3 as Babel 8c66875dbb turned his 8fa6c97bce head, Seokha a24bb9eb3a quickly lowered 4eebd4f45e his body 22ca023e77 and blended e73dc88ec6 in with 8edd519ca9 the tourists. A man with a d5be99375b large backpack looked startled, ea923aaa29 but Seokha crouched down 425e76d64b and hid behind his 86ff0184e6 bag.b5f9c85846d8ac30

“There’s nothing there…”07335f42198d4f5b

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.0fe1d0d48bae64e9

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.1b6f333216d0d32f

He hadn’t expected Babel to fall for such a low-level trick, but luck was on his side.333ee28bf6426c45

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.10be7d968c6b658d

He took out 7d6bc8ed8a the gun he 46adebfc44 had brought in 18e4ae1f3e their pocket and f037270bb7 checked the remaining 64c704714b bullets. One had six fb2bd9fbef out of seven 878a6a93b0 bullets left, while 7923801d12 the other had 5b364251cc eleven out of d4f79e63c6 seventeen. No matter how many f3c5020c60 were guarding that house, 01883cefea it was far from b904faff1e enough firepower to storm 2e6434fb01 in. The situation 235e85b0af was enough 9291d5bcd9 to make a1339f1077 him sigh 0d26cbd804 involuntarily.b454d36cd4415354

As Seokha brushed b5942e093e back his hair fc0adf01f8 that was stinging 07fe075c6a his eyes, his b7606c72a3 gaze was caught a040dc61cc by a glimpse 4cd195c640 of an object. That would do. He pulled 814a698c8d out the 11bfc3eada item wedged 939d782b84 between the 2180710494 stalls, almost 097477828b tearing it 2f66239513 loose. After tucking it into 76ccb2a031 his side, he walked 98da825bc6 leisurely towards the cliff. It seemed night 0e6a8adf42 would fall soon. And the sooner d4d3002df0 darkness came, the c12a9345ca better.af2975fe8e7acb2f

There was only one 1fbb0b4036 path to the building. Except for the edb2df3904 direction of the 947d3e99a0 main gate, sheer d39d9dd8b8 cliffs surrounded it, d48bb777b8 and high walls 729b137996 encircled the building. Unlike the lively beach, 3bfde71253 it grew quieter as f91b6d0340 one approached the cliffs. Seokha hid his body cbf7cdd60a behind a nearby tree, 29a350503b keeping his distance. There was only one ef2ce26e60 guard at the main a4a4f3acda gate. Even then, it was 9b682ab583 hard to say he 3d106ee0e2 was guarding anything, as 416f1a6097 he was crouched down df748cd30b smoking a cigarette with 7727629d91 a bored expression. Seokha moved 2b86e1e07f forward with 10f8c67d30 light steps.bc38ff3360782bfe

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.e038197a14b23c93

The low-level guys just 935e45e990 open the 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.3ff89b788d492860

As soon as b65c0557d1 he wrote his 00a5f1d373 name on the 78d6b61ca1 contract, the manager, 68a78b4d30 who smiled smoothly, f4cfda6d6b got up and a782569765 led him to 62017b0f59 a place where a636692015 the gatekeeper saw bee8b54766 a new world. The automatic b3d4c198bd iron door afd9ffd9c8 that opened ade2c24a75 only when 83cb363c4c he put 4dedd47332 his employee 516b1982e4 ID card 19b4558d4e on it d9d6505982 was enough 0c44161504 to discourage 1e519608d4 him. After passing through 45af93d086 as many as 14797ba47b three iron doors, be32bf6423 the gatekeeper wondered 211c4f3e30 if he had 79d8a72c79 gotten a job 7aedd6f3be at a chicken 85bd1c92f1 farm or a e47943702c prison. Square rooms 4b75eebcd4 were packed c4d4fc1acd into every a7e5d3cc25 floor of e4ba2a16cb the facility, 2047f574e4 which had cf844b188f a maze-like 317e6227b8 structure.

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.”6f8a2a55e16337c9

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.13a5c6a0b43f545b

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.5a689ae488ce631a

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.67f2a8db280c5a58

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.8d9242f4a2a569fd

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.01cfd5a61e370dc9

Covering his face, he cb46ea79b9 turned around and saw 66e3af3a0b a person in a 60c7d6c0c6 white gown hurriedly gesturing d81d43b1a6 to Seokha. As he walked towards f586bc96f7 the gesturing person, he d8925d7307 was urged to run 9064bb73af right away.

The third door opened. And Seokha’s expression hardened. Just like the gatekeeper did when he first faced Alma’s House.301977ba4e0cd8f4

He could tell what 4eda90edf7 the problem was without b91daa6b2f the man telling him 1796caf0aa separately. Seokha ran to 3a0de0bffc where a lot ce6930727e of people had 5a410d5a2f gathered.

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.d3b40ed691622423

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.ef5c1b4eb608c495

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.c488dbf737646940

She was still breathing. She was asleep. Seokha realized that bcb6ae9e1f the long gun 9522e7bc6b the gatekeeper was d9b906f8e8 carrying was a de5ef3ecd1 tranquilizer gun to a1b0f567d3 put her to 0d781ff17c sleep.1722386d510ecf8f

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.d3b3e5acd2fec2f2

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.5b380605f49d4ce0

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.00791fd012ce4a2e
